I do not own Harry Potter or Rogue Galaxy. Unfortunately.
"Stand aside little girl!" A man in black commanded pointing his wand at Lily Potter.
"No, not Harry, take me instead! Just please not Harry!"
"Foolish mudblood," The man hissed. "Avada Kedavra!" A sickly green beam of light launched from his wand and ended the life of Lily Potter just as it had ended her husband's moments ago. The man walked over to the crib where a 15 month old baby gazed at him with piercingly green eyes and confusion on his face. "So this is the child that was prophesied to beat me, Lord Voldemort? Ha, and this shall be the end of the Potter line, Avada Kedavra!" Like before, a sickly green beam flew out of the wand, but this time, the curse did not kill the target. Instead, the spell was reflectedand with the magical backlash, Voldemort's body was destroyed.
The house was still as the young Harry Potter had passed out from the night's events. Moments before a motorcycle pulled up in front of the damaged house, the young child was wrapped in a golden cocoon that glowed brighter and brighter before suddenly it vanished along with the child. Destiny had much greater plans for Harry Potter than what the old fool named Albus Dumbledore had mapped out. Someone else could kill Tom Riddle when he found his way back to life, after all one world didn't really compare to the fate of an entire galaxy, even if Harry was only going to help.
Jaster entered the church and walked to where Raul, the father figure of his life, was praying. "This is all I was able to get," Jaster said as he held the bag up before placing it at the altar. "Those Longardians are getting a little too big for their britches. You going to let them get away with that?"
"And what pray tell, can Raul really do dear brother?" A figure asked, stepping from the shadows. Harry had grown well from the night that he was found on the church's doorstep. He was covered with a blue blanket and a piece of paper that only said his first name, 'Harry.' Raul took the young boy in and two years later the two were three when a young Jaster joined them. When Harry and Jaster's eyes met they were almost inseparable. They had grown up well together in the seventeen years they had lived under Raul. "I know they can be arrogant Jaster, but honestly they do at least keep the monsters out."
It was easy to tell that the two wandering around Salgin were foreigners. One was an abnormally tall robot with claws at the end of the hands and the other was a short creature whose mask made its appearance seem mole like and was dressed in a hideously bright yellow outfit.
"Steve," The short creature began speaking to the tall robot, "Are you sure he's on this backwards bumpkin planet?"
"The information comes from a credible source Simon he's here somewhere."
"Yeah, but this is Desert Claw, the galaxy's best hunter. Perhaps he landed himself with a bunch of dosh and is living it up somewhere. Can't believe he's wasting his time on this slave rock…"
"Don't worry, he's somewhere here on this planet. My instincts tell me so."
"Yeah, like I'm going to trust the instincts of a robot."
"You should, my instincts are infallible, besides with this scanner we'll be able to find him soon enough. Just leave it to Steve."
"Really… you know the Captain will be pretty cheesed off if we don't find him, so you better come through with this mate."
"I know, I know."
Just then a loud crash echoed across the two and Raul moved to open a projection of the disturbance. "It appears you spoke too soon Harry. There is a rather large beast making its way to the residential district."
"Oh this is not good," Jaster murmured. "Come on, we got to go deal with this!" He yelled as he ran out of the church doors.
"Jaster wait!" Raul called, but it was already too late.
"Don't worry Raul," Harry said as he grabbed his own blades and rushing off after Jaster. "I'll keep him out of too much trouble."
Harry caught up with Jaster before long when a group of skeleton like creatures popped from the ground. "Damn, Baphu," Harry swore, "Get ready Jaster we're surrounded."
As the group of creatures approached a figure in tan clothing, with a hood and goggles on his face, jumped down from a roof and took care of two of the Baphu quickly. He wielded an orange sword, and even though the sword was different in appearance Jaster used a blade much like the hooded man did, hacking and slashing everything. Harry on the other hand held two thin blades and danced around his opponents, striking quickly at vital points and moving before they could retaliate. "Huh?" Jaster intelligently asked. "Who are you?"
"Later kid, let's take care of these guys first and then we can talk." Blades reflected the sunlight of Rosa's sun as two figures hacked at the creatures and one systematically took his opponents apart. Dodging the last Baphu strike Harry thrust one of his twin swords into the creature's head and the creature dissolved.
"You two kids aren't bad," The hooded man said taking a look at the battle ground. "A scratch here and there, but pretty impressive from two so young."
"And you are who to be able to say these things?" Harry asked.
"Names aren't a big a deal right now kid since there is apparently a large creature heading to the residential square. The beast is worth 20,000."
"What are you some kind of hunter?" Jaster asked in frustration.
"Something like that," The hooded figure replied. "Now let's go before it squashes something."
"Damn your right! Come on Harry, we can grill this guy later we got to go stop that beast!"
Jaster led the group of three off and they decimated all creatures that popped up rather quickly. "Woah, woah hold up here," Harry said as he was trying to figure out this puzzled. Why in the world are there treasure chests with actual items in them? One they are treasure chests, and two they haven't been ransacked."
"Ah yeah," The hooded figure said, "I forget you guys aren't regular hunters. You see, most of the treasure chests in the world have been left by either hunter or pirates. All of the chests are more advance than just the box you think it is. Certain criteria must be met for you to be able to open simple chests, usually you can open them after you slay a couple of creatures. Or, you can join a pirate crew as all the crew give you a type of implant that allows you to open any chest you come across, unless it needs a certain key. This also prevents innocents from stumbling upon mimics as those are nasty buggers."
"So, all the chests are fair game?" Harry asked.
"Indeed, many of the chests have been left alone for a long time and they have quite a few helpful items. Even chests in homes are fair game since, as I said, simple civilians are unable to open them and soldiers will leave them alone."
"Wait, so what's this?" Jaster said holding up a yellow rock in the shape of a lightning bolt. "And why is it glowing?"
"Man, you two are a bunch of newbies aren't you? That's a thunder stone, and like chests can only be used by creature slayers. Since it's glowing, you need to squeeze it tightly in the palm of your hand and you'll absorb the benefits."
"Okay," Jaster said warily, but followed the hooded man's instructions. As Jaster squeezed, a rush of power and knowledge seemed to flow into him. "Whoa, that was a rush."
"Indeed, it seems you just unlocked an ability from using the stone. In the next battle, you'll be able to use this ability and get a feel for what it allows you to do. Some abilities only require one item, but there are some that could take six or more, but all are helpful in battle. Now come on, time is wasting."
The trio set out once again and dispatched even more monsters together. Instead of just Baphu that crumbled like sand after a good hit or two a few more monsters popped up. Mish seemed to enjoy coming out and fighting as well. Jaster used his new ability, which they learned was called lightning blade, which charged his blade with lightning adding extra damage to all of his opponents for a certain number of strikes.
"Okay," Harry said after witnessing his brother's new ability. "I'm sold, let's find what item can unlock some of my abilities."
"I don't think I can do that too often," Jaster laughed.
"Indeed you cannot," The hooded man agreed, "At least at the moment you can't. Those abilities, while powerful take a sort of spiritual energy to work. As you get stronger, you can use your abilities more often, but if you ever run out of that type of energy either use an energy drink that creatures will sometimes drop or step on a transporter that will also heal your wounds. You want to visit transporters often because if you get in trouble and get close to dying the transporter will summon you back. However, when you are summoned back to the transporter, you'll feel exactly the same as the last time you stepped on one and lose any abilities you might have gained. You'll be able to gain your strength and abilities back, just a word of caution."
With a nod from Jaster accepting the situation as it was and a contemplative look from Harry, the trio continued onwards. As they defeated another group of creatures the hooded man noticed the pair of Simon and Steve. "Wait," He called out stopping his running. Harry and Jaster stopped as well and turned around. "I can't go with you any farther. Sorry. Just go to the residential area and take down that big brute."
"Wait, Jaster called out, we can't just take down that monster by ourselves," Jaster cried.
"You don't think so? Here kid try this out, it's much better than that butter knife of yours." The man tosses his sword in the air to Jaster. "And here take this as well so when you defeat that beast, you can bag the points." The man said as he tossed a small device to Harry. "Good luck kids. See you later." The hooded man leaps off ended up on a rooftop and then disappears from sight.
Before anything can be said a pair of giants spring up. "Fine then, you can't scare me! Bring it on. Hey Harry, you want ugly number one or number two?"
Without answering Harry sprung on the closest giant leaving Jaster to deal with his. Since Harry was so precise with his strikes, he was able to hit even the smallest of vulnerabilities on the creature. Unlike Jaster who had to resort to jumping and attacking the creature's glaring weakness. Both monsters were defeated as Jaster's split open and then dissolved while Harry's just crumbled.
"That is one sweet sword brother of mine," Harry said admiringly. It was then that he noticed a glowing cube similar somewhat to the stone that Jaster had used. "Sweet, maybe I'll get a cool ability like yours Jaster!" Harry shouted excitedly while nearly crushing the stone in his hand. A rush of knowledge and power went through Harry and all he could do was smile at his new ability.
All the while, Steve and Simon had been observing the two and their fight with the giant. "Hey, you two aren't half bad kids." Simon said.
Steve was about to agree when his scanner started to beep. Pulling it out and moving it to look around the area, Steve was shocked when a confirmed match was made as he pointed the device towards Jaster. "Oh my, could it possibly be?" Steve asked.
"What's going on Steve-O?"
"Just take a look," Steve said thrusting the scanner into Simon's hands.
"Well what do you know? I can't believe we found him this quickly," Simon said as he saw the device with a confirmed match of the Desert Seeker. "That must mean that you are the legendary hunter Desert Claw!"
"The what?" Both Harry and Jaster asked.
"But who are you?" Steve asked pointing at Harry.
"I'm/He's his/my brother."
"Well good, another member to the crew. If you are Desert Claw's brother, you can handle your own in a fight. Mission accomplished, come on, come on, the both of ya," Simon said as he grabbed on to Harry and Jaster and started dragging them.
"Knock it off," Jaster said trying to get his arm free. "I've got to go take care of that monster and you are getting in the way."
"Ah, but why would you do that? It's such a chore, come with us and we'll give you sweet jobs that beat the pants of old monster hunting."
"Knock it off, we have to go kill that monster or it's going to destroy the town!" Harry shouted.
"Fine, we'll accompany you on your monster hunting, but afterwards you'll joining us on our ship. Is that a deal?" Steve asked.
"Huh? Why should we?" Jaster asked.
"Then it's settled. Let's be on our way!"
A/N: Well here's another crossover, and I warn you now that updates will not come fast for this one. It's a little difficult to turn a game into a story format. Especially one that was on the PS2 and came out so long ago. But no matter.
Harry's abilities will basically be wandless magic, with a few thing thrown in for his sword similar to Jaster's lightning blades.
Anyways, even if you haven't played the game, I hope this will at least be a good enough story to keep your interest. I have to finish up Harry's Raven and I'm also working on a HP and PJO crossover, so it should be fun.
Until next time!
