January 8, 1998: Koprulu Sector; Dylarian Shipyards

Without warning, the three allied Vikings soared overhead chasing a Banshee ground assault craft. Behind them was another enemy Viking.

Harry shifted his handle over and activated the boosters. He rose into the air chasing the enemy Viking. Harry fired his gun at the enemy plane but the Viking easily outmaneuvered the shots. It flipped around and targeted Harry. It fired missiles which Harry avoided by diving to the side. Flipping upright, Harry fired two missiles from his shoulders. He had calculated that the first missile would miss but the Viking would dive right into the second.

Harry wasn't disappointed either. The first missile was easily dodged but the enemy flew right into the second missile in the maneuver. Its right wing was damaged and it was forced to transform and land on the ground. The Viking fired its machine guns at him. Harry boosted to the side and down. Floating upside down, Harry fired his machine gun from behind his shield. Rounds pinged off Harry's shield.

Bullets hit the right wing as the Viking tried to dodge. A small explosion followed, damaging the appendages. Harry flipped upright and fired a well aimed burst at the wounded machine. It exploded valiantly. Harry landed on the ground and searched for targets.

Another Battle Cruiser was flying towards the rendezvous point. The fifth and final captured Cruiser was lifting off with a Drop Ship taking the remaining Marines flying in front of it. Harry was about to boost towards one of the ships to hitch a ride but what happened next put returning a ways down on his priorities.

A large blast of energy shot towards the fifth Battle Cruiser. The laser tore through the right wing and body of the ship creating a massive rupture and secondary explosions everywhere. The rising ship broke into two pieces and fell down to the platform exploding on impact.

Harry was enraged. Many would have been angry at having lost a ship of that value and power. He was angry at losing the man he could have saved. Thor had always taught him thus. Machines and weapons can be replaced; lives cannot. Since that day, Harry had valued life more than any piece of technology.

Harry scanned the screens for any sign of the attacker. It took the Helios thirty seconds to pick up the target which is surprising considering what Harry was now looking at. A massive red machine dominated the skyline. It was at least thirty meters tall and half that wide. It had two large arm cannons and four shoulder cannons. It looked more armored than any five Battle Cruisers combined and more powerful than ten.

The giant machine turned, much faster than Harry expected. It faced him and fired shells from its shoulder-mounted weapons. Harry flinched in surprise and flew into the air as fast as possible. He was a hundred feet above the platform when the shells hit. The explosion was massive and the shockwave sent the Helios flying into the void.

Harry regained control a moment later to dodge a hail of rail gun fire coming from one of the arms. Harry flew to the side as the fire followed him. He stomped suddenly and dropped towards the platform. The enemy fire continued in its sweep before stopping and realigning. Harry took this time to fly at the machine at full speed.

Harry rolled over more rail gun fire as he got closer and closer to the machine. Harry fired his beam gun at the rail gun. The shots tore into the machine, causing the rail gun to explode but little other damage was done. Harry flew along the arm of the machine firing his gun at the joints while dodging other rail gun shots.

Harry dropped down to the leg level and fired a continuous stream of rounds into the machine's left knee. He did very little damage but did make a small indent. Harry fired all of his remaining missiles at the knee. When the explosives hit, they did very little damage. The explosions didn't even shake the machine.

For the first time in a very long time, Harry was scared. Scratch that; he was terrified. He'd fought gods, killed gods, fought mechanical spiders and fought the Zerg. As it was, this thing was the most powerful weapon he had ever seen. There was no possibility that he would destroy this thing now. It would take a nuke and more to scratch this thing's paint.

Harry turned tail and ran. This thing was too powerful for a modified Goliath to destroy. As he flew away, rail gun lasers, shoulder cannon shots and arm cannon shots followed him. It was only because of the Helios's reasonably high speed that Harry wasn't incinerated right then and there. One particularly close blast tore off half of the right leg.

After a minute of flying the gauntlet of enemy fire, Harry broke out of the enemy's firing range. He leveled out and flew easy towards the rendezvous point. Harry took one hand off the controls to wipe the sweat off his brow. It was then that he realized that he was shaking with fear. Looking over his shoulder, Harry looked at the damage caused by the giant machine. Half of the Dylarian Shipyards had been demolished.

January 9, 1998: Koprulu Sector; Corona; Captain's Quarters

Harry was tossing and turning in his sleep. That battle had taken a toll on him. That machine was a monstrosity; the most powerful weapon he had ever seen. It penetrated his nightmares and haunted him in his sleep. He saw images of the massive machine destroying the Hyperion. He saw it marching along the ground of Earth, destroying everything in its path. He saw it kill Sam, Jack, Daniel and Teal'c.

Harry's eyes flew open. He'd been freed from his nightmare by the ringing from his earpiece on the bedside table. He grabbed it and fitted it to his ear.

"Harry Potter," Harry said, breathing heavily.

"Harry, I've got…" Raynor stopped. "Harry, are you okay? You're breathing heavier than an angry bull."

"Yeah, I'm fine, Jim," Harry said. "I just had a nightmare. What was it you were going to say?"

"Right," Jim said. "I've scanned the computers of the Battle Cruisers we captured. The massive machine that you fought is called Thor."

Harry's eyes widened. The most powerful weapon in the Terran arsenal was named after his father. "I'll be right over," Harry said. He got up and got dressed in his usual clothes. He beamed over with only his handgun.

Harry walked into the briefing room a few moments after beaming over. Jim was already there with two cups of coffee. Harry took a seat next to him took the second cup at Raynor's gesture. The warm black liquid flowing down his throat was quite the relief.

"Tell me about Thor," Harry said after a few moments. The screen came up with the Helios's combat footage, showing his entire fight against Thor.

"The Thor Project is the most significant military project of the Terran Dominion since the Brood War. No one knew about it for a long time until the Umojan Protectorate spies infiltrated the Korhal facility and hacked the plans. This thing is supposed to be a ground Battle Cruiser and is just as heavily armed. It has two Thor's Hammer Particle Accelerator weapons on its arms and four 250 millimeter cannons on the shoulders."

"That is one powerful weapon," Harry said as they watched the footage. "That's not even mentioning these rail guns."

Jim looked closely at the combat footage. "Harry, is this the first time that you've flown a combat walker?"

Harry leaned back in his seat. An outsider would think that he was trying to come up with a dinner plan. "Back on my home planet, my father oversaw a military project to create a combat walker to fight the enemy that we were fighting at that moment. It was designed to fly in the air, space and underwater. It was supposed to use laser weaponry and was more armored than the Corona. That was the prototype." Harry paused for a moment. "My adoptive family is a race of aliens that are about three feet tall and are very frail. They needed a pilot to test their prototype and to gain data for an automated piloting system. I was the closest human on hand."

"So you flew this prototype weapon?" Raynor said.

"Yeah, I flew it in half a dozen battles against the enemy but it didn't do much," Harry said. "The enemy we were fighting was immune to energy weapons. The prototype was destroyed a few years back in one particularly nasty battle. After that, they toned down the power on the mass production model and mass produced it. Right now, every combat suit that you see around my home world is flying in my style."

"Did you base the Helios off that prototype?" Jim asked.

"More or less," Harry said. "My world's prototype was slightly larger and more humanoid. It could transform into a fighter as well with increased speeds." Harry sighed. "It was more powerful than the Helios by a long shot. I just wish that it was still intact. The mass production model is as powerful as a Goliath."

"I don't think that we should attack this thing," Raynor said changing the subject. "If we commit our full combat ability to destroy this thing, we'll lose all of our ships and men. Even if we do destroy it, they'll make more."

"I agree," Harry said. "We should work on upgrading our technology and weapons before trying to fight a Thor again." Harry stood up. "I need to make some massive adjustments to the Helios. If you'll excuse me…" Harry beamed out.

January 10, 1998: Tarsonis; Orbital Defense Platform

Harry looked at the newly remodeled Helios. It had taken all night but he'd managed to increase its raw power by fifty percent and its abilities seven fold. The cockpit was smaller but none of the components were removed. Two more screens were added behind the seat which displayed what was over the suit's shoulder.

The right arm had been changed exponentially. Rather than having an attached machine gun, it was a normal arm like the left arm. A slightly larger but no less powerful machine gun was an attachment that went on over the hand and forearm, increasing its aiming ability. It also had larger power conduits inside that allowed for more powerful beams.

The body hadn't change too much, just made slimmer with the cockpit. The only major difference was the micro missile launchers attached to the hip, each having five soda-can size missiles. The attachments didn't hamper maneuverability in the slightest. The missiles in the shoulders were dramatically increased in power.

Two miniaturized beam Vulcan cannons were inside the shoulders next to the missile launchers. They deployed upwards and unfolded forward. The small beams fired at the rate of a mini gun but would only be truly effective against lightly armored enemies.

The legs had the most difference in the entire machine. They were twenty percent slimmer than before. Boosters were placed at several points on both legs to increase maneuverability. The feet were more human now and provided greater stability than before.

The left arm was no different than before and still had several attachments. It was slimmer, as was the right arm, to accommodate the smaller body. Harry had however added a two foot long arm blade that extended out of the forearm. The blade could cut through a normal CMC Pressurized Combat Suit (Marine armor) with ease. Hidden inside the upper arm was Harry's crowning achievement.

By examining the Warp Saber under the Corona's equipment, Harry had recreated it to an extent. It was larger to fit in the Helios's hands; about a foot and a half long. It was perfectly cylindrical with only a small black caldera on the top where the beam extended. It had a small power source inside that was recharged by the Helios's fusion reactor.

Harry had used some information in the Hyperion's data bank on the Protoss Psi Blades in order to regulate the power distribution and create an actual blade. When extended, the beam reached six feet long and could be used constantly for ten minutes. It was less powerful than its handheld counterpart but it would easily slice through a Hydralisk's carapace. For better camouflage in space, he'd colored it black with a few dark blue and red trims. (I may have done a really bad job in describing it, but a standard unarmed Helios at this point looks pretty much like a Taurus Mobile Suit from Gundam Wing.)

Harry climbed up into the cockpit. The top closed as soon as he was situated. Harry was dressed in a pressurized pilot suit that he'd created. It had about half an inch of padding around the body on every part. A small pack, about a quarter of an inch on the padding, was on the back which carried enough oxygen for two hours. It was as maneuverable as Harry was. A separate helmet with a glass face visor was in his lap at the moment. The entire suit was colored teal and black.

Harry pulled a keyboard down from above the seat. He started typing in a few last minute changes to the power distribution before he started his mission. With the changes complete, Harry set the automated equipment to start outside the Helios. The special equipment acted like a robotic deck crew.

The auto-crew put a machine gun on the left arm. The machine gun had separate conventional ammo pack attached below the weapon and conduits that linked it to the Helios's fusion reactor. The weapon was directly attached to the arm and the hand was no longer visible. The machine gun could be disposed of in an instant.

The right arm was unarmed for use with the beam saber. A heat knife was still there if the beam saber became inaccessible. With the process complete, Harry put on his helmet. He heard it seal with his suit and he opened the Corona's hanger doors.

Harry walked forward. The Corona was over Tarsonis; the defense platform where the Ion Cannon had been specifically. They'd come here because Tarsonis, while it had once been infested by the Zerg, still had resources. Harry leapt out of his ship and the Helios landed on the platform.

Harry looked around and watched as the Hyperion landed near a mineral field. Captured and produced Vikings flew overhead while bought and produced Siege Tanks patrolled on the ground. No targets had appeared since the SCVs had started working.

Harry walked around the platform, investigating various defenses. Almost everything had been destroyed. Harry stopped walking when something caught his eye. He turned to Helios to see a large sign that said Bob's Guns. It was a store with a large gun on the logo and it appeared reasonably undamaged. Harry opened the cockpit and jumped out, taking his rifle with him. No matter where he went, he always took the rifle.

Harry walked in through the front door. The room inside was large and had several racks on all of which were guns of various sizes. Harry walked through the aisles and inspected the guns. He never lowered his rifle.

"Bob, I need a big (Censored) gun!" Harry spun around and nearly shot a TV screen to kingdom come.

"Well, Jimmy, what color do you want it in?"

"You take good care of me, Bob." Harry blinked five times before walking out the door.

January 11, 1998: Koprulu Sector; Tarsonis; Orbital Defense Platform

Harry was once again in the cockpit of the Helios. It had been an hour since the SCVs had started mining and still no targets had appeared. He had wandered far beyond his patrol range looking for something. He found something when he reached the edge of the platform.

Out in space was a barely visible dot. It was quickly growing as it approached. It was as large as the Helios and appeared to be a mobile weapon. As the cameras zoomed in, Harry saw that the suit was as humanoid as the Helios was. It had two arms and two legs. It had a beam cannon attached to the right forearm as well as particularly spherical shoulders. On the left shoulder were three red circular disks a foot long. It was painted dark purple and red. (For reference, it looks like a Virgo Mobile Suit from Gundam Wing. Many of the designs shall make an appearance.)

Harry stood about eighty or so feet from the edge of the platform. Forty feet behind him was a raised section of platform. He wasn't expecting the enemy suit to land on the ground in front of him then front flip to slow itself. Halfway through the flip, it fired its beam cannon at him. Harry's eyes widened and he dove to the side, activating the boosters. He flipped and landed on the platform.

The newly-turned enemy suit fired two more blasts at him. Harry boosted sideways and fired back with his beam gun; he only used conventional bullets against infantry in a support role or against replicators if he ever had to fight them. The enemy boosted to the same side as Harry and they exchanged fire.

Harry's rounds slightly impacted the enemy's right shoulder but did little if any damage. The enemy's laser rounds hit nothing but the void and platform. Harry boosted up and backwards. The enemy suit was taken slightly by surprise but recovered quickly. It flew straight up and took more time firing, getting closer and closer to the Helios.

Harry killed his thrusters and dropped to the platform. He hit the floating piece of metal at the same time as an enemy laser shot. He was thrown back but took little damage. Harry flipped and landed on the wall. He activated the boosters again and shot forward along the ground dodging laser shots. Harry rolled onto his back when he went under the enemy suit and fired his gun. The explosive rounds impacted the right shoulder again and destroyed the beam cannon. The enemy's laser shot hit Harry's machine gun, melting it.

Harry landed upright on the ground. He released the now useless machine gun and it clamored to the ground. Harry made quick adjustments to the Helios's energy distribution to account for the weight change and to make sure he didn't go flying away. The enemy suit landed on the platform in front of Harry and did the same to its beam cannon. It was apparently making adjustments too.

Harry finished first and boosted back to put more distance between them. The enemy finished a second later. A red disk popped out of its shoulder and landed in the enemy's hand. The suit threw its disk at Harry. The disk spun towards him. Halfway, a beam extended, making it a serious threat.

Harry boosted up and over the disk but it made quick adjustments and flew at him again. Harry boosted in every direction to try and throw the beam disk off but nothing worked. It just kept coming at him. Harry watched as the disk flew right by his right camera. Harry followed it in his vision to see the enemy suit floating over him with a beam saber ready to strike.

Harry cursed and boosted down to avoid the swing. Harry flew right down to the platform before he leveled out and flew backwards. The enemy suit followed him the entire way, trying to get closer and succeeding. Harry's beam saber popped out of his left shoulder and Harry caught it in his right. The beam extended to full length just as the enemy suit got within attack range.

Harry swung upward at the enemy suit. He hit the enemy's saber and his attack was parried. Bolts of electricity flew around as the beams met. Over his shoulder, Harry saw the raised wall he was rapidly approaching. He pushed the enemy away and boosted up into the void. The enemy followed him.

The two suits got into a massive fight along the platform. They both flew in the same direction. Harry and the enemy flew up and down respectively and made contact again, the others momentum pushing them away. They repeated this, trying to get to the other.

Harry hit the enemy's saber and boosted straight down before boosting to the side. The enemy was just as good a swordsman as he was. The enemy had mirrored his maneuver. Harry turned and flew down a wide ravine in the platform. The enemy followed him. They clashed several times, almost crashing into the wall.

Harry spun around, flipped inverted, planted his left hand on the ground and threw himself back the way they'd come. He'd learned the move on Othala when he'd tested the prototype and it worked there as well as here. The enemy suit flew right by and clipped the wall when it didn't hit something midway. The enemy recovered quickly and came after him.

Harry pressed a button next to his right handle and his beam guns popped out from inside the Helios's shoulders. As the enemy suit approached, Harry fired his beam Vulcan at it. The weapons rotated and fired a continuous stream of beam rounds at the enemy suit. The enemy was surprised by the looks of it because when the fire came at him, he swerved upwards to avoid the attack.

The enemy dropped down sixty feet behind Harry and threw another beam disk. The deadly weapon came at Harry with no less desire to kill him than the first one. Harry boosted upwards and the disk followed him. He back flipped so that he was facing the disk and fired his Vulcan at it. The rounds impacted it and destroyed it.

The enemy suit used the same tactic as before and tried to hit Harry from above and behind. Harry was ready this time and spun in a clockwise swing with his beam saber. His weapon slashed through the enemy's lower section where the reactor was likely to be. The enemy's already commanded swing came down hard on the Helios's cockpit.

A large rupture appeared in the top of Harry's cockpit. The beam hadn't hurt him at all but it did make a large hole. The enemy suit had only been slightly damaged and could still fight.

Harry pushed the enemy away and dropped to the platform. Rather than hit the platform, Harry landed on the top of a Battle Cruiser; the Hyperion to be specific. Their battle had taken them ten miles across the entire platform. The enemy dropped down directly in front of Harry and they charged each other.

The enemy slashed down at the damaged cockpit again. Harry countered with his beam saber. In the same move, Harry kicked upwards and drove his knee into the enemy sending it sprawling backwards. It fell to the ground but not before a red cable shot out from the left arm and wrapped itself around the Helios's leg. The enemy falling pulled the Helios over.

No sooner had they both hit the ground than twenty Marines surrounded them. "Harry, what the hell is going on?" Raynor asked over the com system.

"I found this guy on the edge of the platform," Harry explained. "He attacked me and we got into this long drawn out duel that took us here." A teal Marine, Raynor, checked the enemy suit.

"This is a Protoss design, I have no doubt," Raynor said. Just then, the cockpit opened and out jumped a cloaked Protoss with a Warp Blade on his arm. Harry returned the gesture and jumped out with his Warp Saber in hand.

The Protoss went for Raynor, seeing him as the leader, his Warp Blade already active. Had Harry been any slower, Raynor's Raiders would be without a leader. His azure Warp Saber met the white-blue Warp Blade a few inches from Raynor's face.

"Now, now," Harry said, "We didn't kill you on sight so you won't kill us on sight. Do you understand me?" The Dark Templar jumped away and held his blade at the ready.

The two warriors stared each other in the eyes despite the Templar being at least eleven inches taller than Harry. After a minute of staring each other down, the Templar nodded and deactivated his Warp Blade. Harry did the same with his Saber.

"I am Zeratul," the Templar said with a bow.

"I am Harry Potter," Harry said, also bowing.

"What the hell are you doing here, Zeratul?" Raynor asked.

"I bring tidings of doom. The Xel'Naga return, the cycle nears its end; the artifacts are the key."

"The key?" Raynor asked. "The key to what?"

"To the end of all things," Zeratul said.

"Why does the most advanced society in a certain galaxy always have to be so vague?" Harry asked rolling his eyes. "Come on, if you've seen a vision or something you could at least tell us what the vision is or why you came to us!"

"I came to you because I learned that Jim Raynor was collecting Xel'Naga artifacts," Zeratul said.

"Okay then, why did you attack me?" Harry asked accusingly. The Marines surrounding them all just looked between themselves wondering what to do. "Get back to work!" Harry yelled at them and they quickly complied.

"You must understand that I did not recognize the weapon you used," Zeratul said. "I thought that you were a Terran Dominion soldier."

"You could have asked," Harry said. "I'm willing to put this behind us, okay? If you give me the designs for your weapon, I'll repair your suit and upgrade it in any way I see fit, deal?"

"I accept your generous offer," Zeratul said.

"Then prepare yourself for a new experience," Harry said with a smirk and beamed the two of them and their suits to the Corona's hanger, leaving behind a very surprised former Marshal.

January 13, 1998: Koprulu Sector; High Orbit; Tarsonis; Corona

It had taken two days to fully repair both Zeratul's and Harry's suits. Zeratul had willingly given Harry all of the designs of his ship, the Atlas. Harry already had most of the designs or something better but the heat rod weapon that Zeratul had used at the end of their fight was completely new to Harry.

The Atlas was completely repaired and its fusion reactor had been upgraded to increase the output. The repaired parts such as the beam cannon and arms had been made of the most durable metal in the known universe, an alloy of steel and titanium forged in a zero gravity environment. Harry had discovered the data on this particular metal in the Corona's databanks. Now he had completely refitted the Helios with this new alloy.

Harry had upgraded the piloting system in the Atlas so that it would perform two times better than before. Zeratul would have been a serious threat if Harry hadn't done the same thing to Helios. The cockpit of the Atlas was larger to accommodate a Protoss but Harry had found his way.

The Helios's left arm was now equipped with a heat rod like the one on Atlas. Zeratul's heat rod had been deactivated when they had fought. Had it been turned on, the weapon would have easily cleaved through Harry's titanium armor.

Both sides had benefited from this arrangement. Harry now had more powerful beam weaponry and Zeratul now had greater armor and a better piloting system. In their time working together, the two had stricken a friendship despite being of different species. They had even taken to sparring with each other in their spare time with no weapons.

As it was, Harry and Zeratul were currently sitting in their respective suits going through a simulation. The simulation was pitting their suits against various strains of Zerg including but not limited to Hydralisks, Zerglings, Ultralisks, Mutalisks and Devourers. They were talking throughout the entire thing.

"When was the last time you fought these replicators?" Zeratul asked after killing a Hydralisk.

"It was a couple years ago, actually," Harry said, killing an Ultralisk. "My people didn't have any conventional weapons, kind of like you in fact, and are losing the war."

"Did they ever learn of their folly?"

"Nope; they're still fighting and most likely dieing." Harry paused to kill a virtual Hydralisk. "What do you plan to do after you're done here?"

"I discovered a Protoss/Zerg Hybrid on a dark moon four years ago," Zeratul said. "I've been searching for them ever since but have been unable to find them all. I will likely continue my search."

A siren blared in the ship. "Warning! Warning! Terran Dominion Forces have been sighted approaching the platform. All ships and forces, intercept!"

"This day just keeps getting better and better," Harry said and deactivated the simulation. "Zeratul, I'm going to need help with this. Are you willing to be that help?"

"I would gladly fight alongside my former enemy to save a mutual friend," Zeratul said proudly. A few minutes later, two mobile suits were flying towards an enemy armada.

January 13, 1998: Koprulu Sector; Orbital Defense Platform; Tarsonis

Harry cursed as he dodged a Battle Cruiser shot. He didn't know what the Dominion had come here for but it had to be important enough for no less than twenty Battle Cruisers and countless support craft. There were just so many!

Harry flipped over a Viking and shot it to pieces using his machine gun. It was equipped on the left hand and had been combined with the shield. The bullets fired out from behind the shield's protective covering. Zeratul was fighting just as hard as Harry was. The Dark Templar had his beam saber out and was tearing through countless numbers of Vikings only taking minimal damage.

Harry spun around and fired a burst at another Viking. It exploded and he moved on to the next target. It might have been fun if death wasn't hanging over his shoulders. A Viking came too close for his gun. Harry flipped out his arm knife and sliced through it. The enemy exploded and crashed into a Battle Cruiser.

Harry carefully aimed his weapon and fired at a Banshee ground assault craft. It was a mile away but Harry had an extremely advanced targeting system and the enemy exploded in a shower of flames.

Harry heard a loud gathering sound. He turned and saw a Battle Cruiser charging up its Yamato Gun. Harry cursed and shot to the side just as the intense beam shot past. The commander on that Battle Cruiser must have been a complete rookie because the blast destroyed on of his own Cruisers.

Harry flew backwards to avoid a stream of bullets fired from a Viking in Walker Mode. Harry stopped and flew down below the enemy's line of fire. He boosted back up right in the enemy's face and shot a burst through the Viking's cockpit. More bullets came from the side. Harry turned and flew backwards along the Battle Cruiser's hull, firing back. His shots destroyed the enemy Vikings.

"Why can't I get a break in this Sector?" Harry asked himself as more Walker Vikings attacked him.

Harry boosted forward directly towards the new enemies. He would shift to the side every few milliseconds to avoid bullets but it was hardly noticeable. A second later, the three Vikings had been destroyed by Harry's arm blade. Harry was about to look for more targets when a yellow beam shot past his front camera.

Harry turned and found an enemy Goliath. At least, it looked more like a Goliath than anything else. It was heavily armored and was about twice the size, not height, of the Helios. It had wide shoulders that obviously concealed missile launchers. On its right hand was a double gatling gun that was held in a hand, not attached to the suit. The weapon was painted several shades of tan, dark tan and brown. (Look up Serpent Mobile Suit from Gundam Wing for a picture of the design. Remember, none of these things have heads.)

The enemy raised its guns and fired at Harry. He boosted to the side to avoid the fire, shooting back the entire way. While doing this, Harry wondered how the Dominion had managed this. There was no way that in the span of five days, the Dominion could create a mobile weapon like the Helios or the Atlas as well as laser weaponry without a Protoss or Ancient engineer. Then again, they could have found it.

Harry stopped and fired a burst at the enemy. The enemy realigned its gun quickly and fired again. Harry held up his shield in defense. Beam rounds impacted his shield and started to melt it. Harry boosted up and fired down at the enemy. His rounds impacted the armor around the cockpit but did little damage. The enemy realigned and fired again.

Harry stopped shooting his weapon and started to reconfigure his gun's characteristics. If this worked, he'd only have three shots. Harry overcharged the conduits leading the Gatling gun. When finished, Harry shot upwards and aimed his newly configured weapon. He locked onto the enemy's cockpit and fired.

Rather than a stream of lasers, one continuous beam of red energy surged from his weapon. It lasted long enough to actually connect the enemy and the weapon in the red beam. The enemy's armor melted in less than half a second and the full force of the beam impacted the pilot and the reactor, causing the enemy to explode. The beam continued past the enemy suit and into the Battle Cruiser it had been standing on. The entire ship split into two and exploded. (Think Wing Gundam Zero's Double Buster Rifle.)

With two enemies out of the way, Harry realigned his weapon and aimed at another Battle Cruiser. He fired again and the vessel exploded. Harry had one shot left before the conduits burnt out so he made the best of it and aligned another Cruiser in the path of ten Vikings. Harry fired the weapon for the last time, destroying nine of the Vikings and the Battle Cruiser.

Harry detached the useless weapon and let it float in space. The Vikings in the surrounding area had deemed him the greatest threat and came after him. Harry unlocked the heat rod's lock and grabbed his beam saber. Two missiles shot at him. Harry fired his shoulder Vulcan at the missiles, destroying them long before they would have reached him.

Harry shot forward at the approaching Vikings. Several more missiles were sent his ay but all of them were thrown off course by difficult maneuvers. The first Viking the in the formation was coming closer. Harry rolled the Helios over onto its back and held his beam saber in the Viking's path. The fighter had no chance and flew right into the waiting beam. Harry shifted twice more and destroyed the other two in the formation.

Harry had stopped and scanned for other targets when he saw two Battle Cruisers with one large machine held between them. It was Thor. Harry cursed his luck. He'd used the one weapon that could have possibly damaged Thor to the point where it was destroyed. And now he was in a half strength Goliath that wouldn't be able to destroy anything stronger than a Banshee.

Harry spun around and flew back towards the Raider's defensive perimeter. Thanks to Harry's upgrades and the highly advanced fighters, the five ship fleet was holding its own. Harry flew at the Corona, landing on the stern. Unfortunately, a Viking had decided to follow him and landed in Walker Mode directly in front of him.

Harry sighed and threw his heat rod forward, wrapping it around the enemy's legs and pulling it forward. The Viking shot right at him and Harry cleaved through it with his beam saber. With all enemies out of the way, Harry beamed the Helios to the hanger and himself to the bridge. He was going to destroy Thor if he could but not at the cost of his own life.

The Corona advanced towards the enemy ships, specifically the ones holding the inoperable Thor. They were heading for the platform where they could drop it and let the machine fend for itself. Harry wasn't going to let that happen. He got in range and fired his wing cannons at the two Battle Cruisers. His rail guns handled the attacking Vikings and Banshees.

One Battle Cruiser was destroyed and the other one soon after. Harry targeted Thor and fired his wing cannons. He loaded two nukes into the missile tubes. When Harry had done a reasonable amount of damage to Thor, he launched his two nuclear missiles at the immobile weapon. Harry warned the allied fighters and all units that heard the transmission scattered. The two nukes impacted Thor and exploded in a fantastic flash. At least it was fantastic for the ten seconds in which Thor couldn't be seen.

When the light faded, Harry saw to his horror that Thor was still intact albeit severely damaged. The entire right half of the body was simply floating in space. Harry gritted his teeth and pushed the Corona closer to Thor. No one, probably not even the Dominion commanders, expected what happened next. Thor self destructed which caused a large rift in the fabric of space and time to be opened. It started to draw the Corona in as it was the closest object.

Harry cursed and tried to fight the pull. The rift was too powerful and he was going in no matter what happened. Harry activated the Asgard beaming technology and sent the Helios and all other free objects over to the Hyperion. Harry was unable to beam himself over before the Corona was sucked into the spiraling mass.

(Guess what happens next.)

Author's Note: This is shorter than the first chapter but it was the end of the weekend so I decided to put up what I had before I went back to school. Thank you to all of my reviewers even if there are only five by the time I wrote this. Keep reviewing; it's what compelled me to write so much in the last thirty-six hours.
