Chapter I
Awakening The Beast Within
"KILL THE SPARE!" a high, cold voice commanded.
"AVADA KEDAVRA" a second voice yelled from the shadows of the nearby headstones.
Harry could only watch in horror as the green curse sped towards them, Harry instinctively ducked and tried to push Cedric out of the way of the curse but he was too slow and as Cedric fell to the ground the light in his eyes extinguished. Harry then knew no more as a red light over came him.
Harry woke up and found himself strapped to a tombstone in front of large iron cauldron full of boiling water. 'Please let it drown' Harry thought as the mutated baby Voldemort was tipped into the cauldron.
"Bone of the father you shall reform your son." Stammered Pettigrew. Pettigrew turned to Harry who struggled to get free but only found the ropes tightening their hold. "Blood of the enemy forcibly taken shall serve your body." In went the blood to join the bone turning the potion sapphire blue.
"Hand of the servant shall revive your lord." Finished Pettigrew by slicing off his hand the potion turned bone white and suddenly steam began billow off it and out of the steam rose something. It was tall and skeletally thin, the beings nose was made of two slits and its eyes were crimson slits. Lord Voldemort had risen again.
Voldemort then summoned his Death Eaters before turning to Harry "Harry Potter, the guest of honour for my rebirthing party." The Death Eaters chuckled with laughter, Harry tried to remain impassive towards Voldemort but deep down he was scared and angry. Very angry, angry at Dumbledore for allowing him to compete, Dumbledore for not getting him out of this situation, Harry decided to try and relax and calm down because anger wasn't going to get him out of this situation.
How am I going to get the hell out of this alive? Harry thought frantically then he heard a deep chuckling laugh echo inside his mind. Don't worry Kit. Trust me, trust yourself and you'll get out of here with no problems from this tosser.. You're probably wondering who I am. Am I right? Well I'll explain after we beat the dark tosser.
Harry grinned at the voice What do I call you then? The laughter came again Call me Kursama, Kit. Harry nodded and woke up to find himself on all fours on the floor.
"I see you've learnt your place Potter." Lord Voldemort sneered.
Harry smirked and stood up and replied in a sarcastic tone "You wish Riddle."
Voldemort's eyes flashed black with rage "MY NAME IS LORD VOLDEMORT!" He bellowed "Pettigrew give Potter his wand and let us duel like men." Harry took his wand and trained it on Voldemort "First we bow." Said Voldemort who bowed slightly resembling a snake as he did so, Harry tilted his head. "That's not good enough. NOW BOW!" Harry felt an immense pressure pushing his back down. "Still stubborn I see." As Harry fought Voldemort's imperious curse, "It seems you'll need a lesson in manners. CRUCIO!"
Harry began to thrash and contort on the floor as the torture curse ripped through him. Kursama, any tricks you can lend me? Harry thought, in response he heard Kursama growling Hold onto your ass kiddo because this is gonna get nasty. You need to let me take control quickly. Harry nodded and delved into his mind and met a gianormous fox with nine tails. "So you're my tenant." Kursama nodded Ready to let me take over so we can get the hell out of here alive? Harry nodded.
Lashing out with his front paw, Harry smashed Voldemort square in the face who was sent flying backwards. The Death Eaters lashed out with several dark curses which thanks to Kursama's sensing skills Harry deduced as a variety of breaking and slicing curse. Harry stood up and watched as Kursama morphed his fingers into a variety of different symbols before shouting "DEMON TECHNIQUE: FOX SHOCKWAVE!" Harry let fly a thunderous snarl which emerged as several black shockwaves which ripped up the ground around him sending tombstones, coffins, Death Eaters and Lord Voldemort flying.
Harry lashed out with one tail and plucked up Peter Pettigrew, Cedric Diggory's body, his wand and ran on all fours for the triwizard cup. Harry regained control of his body 'Thanks Kursama. No problem Kit.' Harry grabbed the Portkey and was whisked away.
Harry landed on the ground dazed and confused. "Peter Pettigrew STUPEFY!" The stunner caught the man squared in the face. "Harry are you okay?" Harry's eyes locked onto the periwinkle twinkling blue eyes of Dumbledore's he had to fight down the impulse to destroy the man where he stood. "Got Pettigrew." Fudge soon came blustering over. "Fudge. Shut up. Free Sirius Black, question and dispose of Pettigrew and announce to the world Voldemort is back."
Fudge could only stare as a black dog walked over to Harry and turned morphed into his human form. "I Sirius Orion Black swear on my life and magic that I did not kill Lily and James Potter on Halloween 1981 nor did I kill Peter Pettigrew and neither have I or will I ever serve the Dark Lord. So I swear and so shall it be. So mote it be."
Sirius's oath created a white light that appeared like a supernova surrounding him, even Dumbledore had to turn away from the aura. His plans were ruins, he needed to eliminate Black as soon as possible. Manipulate a raid, send Sirius in thinking Potter is in danger and hopefully bring Potter back under his thumb. That would do nicely.
Kursama picked up on the thoughts and snarled which unfortunately resonated from Harry's throat causing everyone to look at him. "Sorry about that just clearing my throat." Fudge nodded nervously whilst Sirius picked up on the growl. Kit the old bastard is going to kill your godfather. I know you want to break free but the best way is to hang in there. I promise Kit, I'll get you out of here.
Harry nodded, ever since he had met his lodger, he couldn't help but trust him. Okay Kursa...we'll do it your way. Kursa grinned at his companion. He knew he had made a smart choice in bonding willingly with this kid. Not only was he a natural powerhouse, nothing ever seemed to faze him. Sirius helped Harry up and began to head towards the castle, with Dumbledore and Moody following under several disillusionment and concealing spells the pair tailed Sirius and Harry.
Sirius made sure Harry was comfortable and asleep in the hospital wing before following Dumbledore outside to discuss Harry's living arrangements. "Professor...Harry will be coming home with me the moment school ends. End of discussion." stated Sirius the moment the corridor was deserted. However Dumbledore smirked coldly, and raised his wand to Sirius "I'm afraid that doesn't come into my plans Sirius. Harry WILL go back to the muggles for the first month of the summer and then he'll spend the rest of the summer with you or he'll stay at the Dursely's depending on his behaviour. YOU WILL NOT INTERFERE."
Sirius growled in anger and whipped his wand out of his pocket and launched several dark spells at Dumbledore who hastily conjured a shield which cracked slightly as the barrage of spells rained down upon it. Dumbledore dispelled the shield and shouted "CONFRINGO MAXIMA!" The spell raced towards Sirius who pulled up a reflection spell but it was torn to pieces like a knife through butter, the spell hit Sirius in the chest ripping it apart and propelling Sirius's body down the corridor.
Dumbledore then sauntered up to Sirius' prone and bleeding body before saying the darkest of all curses, "Avada Kedavra!" The sickly green curse hit Sirius's body and Dumbledore then stowed his wand back into his robes before walking away.
A few hours later Harry was let out of the hospital wing and was walking down the corridor when he noticed the black marks on the walls that indicated spell fire and then he saw Sirius' body.
"SIRIUS! NO!" Harry screamed as he ran to his fallen godfather. "Sirius, please are you okay?" Harry cried out. But there was no answer. "I swear I will find out who killed you Sirius." Harry said as Professor McGonagall rounded the corner to find Harry sitting with Sirius' body.
"No!" the professor gasped as she gathered Harry up and took him to Gryffindor tower and explained the situation to Harry's friends, who were unable to talk to him as he had barricaded himself in the boy's dormitory.
A little while later Harry entered the great hall and slipped into a seat between Ron and Hermione. "Harry, I'm sorry to hear about Sirius." Harry looked at her with a saddened expression.
"Thanks. It's a shock, just he got cleared and then he was murdered before our first summer together." Ron nodded and patted Harry on the back as sympathetically a guy with an emotion span of tea spoon can.
As Harry listened to Dumbledore waffle on about a good year it was and how they had made Hogwarts proud and that they should all stand in honour of Cedric's memory because of his murder at the hands of Voldemort when Kursama began tapping on Harry's mental shields.
What is it Kursa? Thought Harry, Kursa gulped as he began to think of way of explaining his findings of Dumbledore's mental probes without setting his counterpart off. I was poking in Dumbledore's head and found that he has just murdered Sirius in order to get you back to the Dursleys. To prove his point he pushed the memories into Harry's mind.
Memory scene after memory scene were shoved into Harry's head as he quickly came to understand the full extent of Dumbledore's manipulations such as money for his upkeep with the Dursleys and a memory of a talk with Severus Snape about Harry being a horocrux. Paying for his stay at the Weasely's. Weasely's being paid for his stay (he would have done that anyway) and the stealing from his vaults. However what pissed Harry off was that his supposed friendships with Ron and Hermione were false because Hermione had been promised rare tomes and head girl whereas Ron was promised quidditch captain, money and his own glory.
Harry's magic began to boil and froth madly, as a result he tapped into his dormant chakra which began to rapidly become visible around him. Dumbledore stopped in mid-sentence as he felt the raw anger and hatred beginning to seep out of Harry. Dumbledore stared as the blue aura rapidly cloaked Harry and turned black.
Shaking uncontrollably Harry stood up from the Gryffindor Table and looked Dumbledore, Hermione and Ron in the eyes as he allowed Kursama's power to take control for the second time that night. "Traitors. You three dare to steal from me. You dare use me as a means for power and finally you Albus Dumbledore have killed the last of my family. Now there is nothing holding me back!" Harry screamed as he let Kursama's power flow outward.
Scores of techniques flowed into Harry's mind from Kursama, along with the hand signs to use the techniques. Harry's filtered through the techniques at a fast rate and mentally latched onto one particularly powerful one called Living Corpse Reincarnation. Harry did the hand signs at a fast rate and called the technique. 'Summoning: Living Corpse Reincarnation!'.
The Great Hall darkened leaving the brackets along the wall the only light source as the technique took effect. The students and staff gasped as white mist descended from the ceiling of the Great Hall and as they watched, three coffins ascended from the ground as the mist flowed into each of the coffins.
The coffins then slowly opened to reveal three people. The first was a woman with long dark red hair and a fair complexion. The second was an older version of Harry and the final person was a dark haired man. The three people opened their eyes and set their sights on Ron, Hermione and Dumbledore. They then exited the coffins and stared hatefully at the three traitors. "Mom, Dad, Sirius. Those that stand before you are traitors to our family. They have seen fit to steal from us, and have murdered you so that they may manipulate me into being their puppet. Do with them as you see fit to avenge yourselves and me, your son. I give you the power to help you in your vengeance." Harry said as he started a second string of hand signs.
'Elemental Seals: Fire, Earth and Shadow Release!' Harry commanded as three glowing trails of light appeared in front of his family and sank into their chest. They each glowed a different color. Lilly glowed red, her husband James glowed an earth brown and Sirius glowed black.
"Attack!" Harry yelled as his family moved with speed that was too fast to follow. Dumbledore, Ron and Hermione raised their wands to defend themselves.
"You, Miss Granger, should be ashamed of yourself, abandoning my son for some manipulating old geezer. I have watched you and Ron, destroy Harry slowly but surely and now you shall pay for your betrayal." Lilly said.
"So, your dead and Dumbledore shall soon kill Harry and become the second coming of Merlin and then tell all that he had to kill him because he was a Dark Lord. You stand no chance against the greatest wizard of this century." Hermione said arrogantly. Lilly started things off with a string of hand signs and a command of 'Fire Release: Grand Fireball Jutsu!'
Hermione screamed 'Protego Maxima!'. The immense fireball hit the shield and it shattered slightly burning Hermione. "You petulant child. How dare you think Dumbledore shall get away with this. After we defeat you, Ronald and Dumbledore, a fate worse than death awaits you." Lilly replied as she began a second string of hand signs.
Meanwhile, James confronted Ron. "So, Ronald you and your family dare steal from mine and betray Harry." James said.
"Yeah so what. He deserves it. He as more money than he knows what to do with." He gets everything while those that help him are left in the dust." Ron replied as he yelled. "Sectumsempra!" The purple curse flew towards James, who dodged the curse and began his own hand signs. "Earth Release: Earth Dragon Jutsu!" James yelled as the floor of the Great Hall rose up in front of James and formed into a brown dragon with orange eyes.
The dragon then launched itself towards Ron who barely dodged the dragon but he still sustained damage as the dragon collided with the back wall of the Hall and sprayed debris in Ron's direction. Ron slowly regained his footing and started to fire off curses left and right but James ducked and doged every one. He then turned towards Lilly who was slowly backing Hermione into a corner.
James decided to herd Ron into the same corner to help his wife. He then looked over towards Sirius who was engaging Dumbledore who was keeping Sirius at bay with powerful spells. Sirius looked a little worse for wear when he looked at James who nodded towards the corner that Ron and Hermione were being backed into.
Sirius did his own hand signs and yelled out, "Shadow Release: Dark Dragon Jutsu!" the technique rose up from Dumbledore's shadow and wrapped around the old man and tossed him into the corner next to Ron and Hermione.
Harry stepped forward at that point and nodded in thanks to his family who did their final string of hand signs before calling out their last technique, 'Ninja Art: Barrier Encampment Method!' The technique created a white shield around the corner of the Great Hall where Harry stood across from Dumbledore, Ron and Hermione.
"For your crimes against my family I sentence you to fight for all eternity in the stomach of the Death God without end." Harry said as he looked at the wearied and bloodied traitors that were once his friends and mentor. He began the longest string of hand signs for a summoning he had seen in his mind.
'Dead Demon Consuming Seal' Harry said coldly. The area behind Harry shimmered and there appeared behind him a spectre that had had long white hair and purple skin and had long white teeth jutting out from its lips. The spectre to the old mans and fellow students eyes was carrying a jar around its waist and a sword in its left hand.
'Why have you summoned me mortal?' the spectre asked Harry.
'Lord Shinigami, I have summoned you to take these traitors souls for yourself so that they may suffer for their crimes.' Harry replied.
"You know that summoning me will cost you your soul." The Shinigami replied.
"Yes, but it seems I have two souls. My own and a fragment of a snake like man known as Tom Riddle. Take his soul from me and I'll deliver the rest of his soul to you as payment." Harry said.
"Very well mortal, I'll take his soul fragment in payment but know this should you fail to gather his soul pieces, I'll take your soul and you shall never see your family and friends." The Shinigami said as he stretched forth his hand and thrust it through Harry's head and then pierced Hermione's body first and then Ron's and finally Dumbledore's. Afterwards the spectral hand came out of the traitors bodies and were swallowed by the Shinigami before disappearing.
