Alice sighed as she sat within a cupboard below some steps. That day with Stephen played in her mind over and over again over the past ten years. It wasn't too bad, suddenly finding herself aware inside the body of a baby, but she didn't like being taken and placed in a home with three people who seemed to despise her very being. She found herself ignored, sometimes beaten, thrown into the cupboard, and forced to do every chore she could possibly do. Then again, if she tried to talk with a demon and failed, didn't they beat her up or ignore her or even force her to do weird shit? At least these people didn't want to kill her.
She listened as they talked about how the day at the zoo went. Thinking back on it, it was bizarre. They went to look at the animals, and she had stopped before a boa constrictor with three heads. The green snake looked right at her and she felt reminded of a demon she grew somewhat fond of, Yamato-no-Orochi. She watched it as it watched her before her cousin, a fat boy named Dudley, pushed her away to see the freak. And then as she hit the ground, the glass vanished and the boa escaped. She looked at the snake and it nodded with those heads as her cousin freaked out and everyone started screaming.
She sighed and listened as they all finally decided to go to bed and slipped out of the cupboard. She was always sure to prevent the door from shutting completely to continue something she had learned from Walter.
Keep training, no matter where you are.
"Come now Walter. What is the use of swinging your sword at nothing when we are resting? It's better to rest and save your energy than to attack at nothing relentlessly."
"Hey, I'm going to explain this so you can get it, Johnathan. If demons keep attacking us wherever we go, then I need more than just training in battle. You up for it, Isabeau? Alice?" She smiled at that memory before she grabbed a stick she had carved into a blade and began the motions for attacking, defending, and all manners of combat. Upper cuts, beheading slices, impalement, any motion she could imagine she practiced. If the Dark wanted her to die, she'd fight back as hard as she could. If the Light wanted her as a simple girl, they'd be in for a surprise.
She knew she couldn't summon demons yet, hell, she didn't have a Gauntlet or any means to a Demon Summoning Program, and any magic she could perform she couldn't do anything major in any way. No majestic Cold Worlds, Megidolaons, Luster Candies, or even Trisagions. She cast simple Bufus, Agis, Zans, and Zios. It was bizarre and annoying, to know she had to try and learn her magic's from the start all over again. It pissed her off. If a Pendragon attacked her, she'd be too weak to kill it in one move like she once could. She cut into the air and landed on her feet, sheathing the blade into a ring of her baggy pants as she turned.
She heard someone coming down the steps, and instantly hid in her stair cupboard room. She heard her Uncle walk around, trying to find out what the hell just happened, before he made sure her door was shut. The Samurai sighed as she waited for the morning to come. She found it odd that no demons showed up in the news or any angels showed up either. As she closed her eyes, she waited to sleep and to find out if she was going to this school at all like Stephen said she would.
In Knockturn Alley, a screaming wizard was being slowly frozen as a long blond haired being laughed. "My oh my, this is so much fun! These humans always scream as we kill them!" It laughed more, holding itself as the wizard fully froze and the ice cracked, sending the man to hell as his body fell apart. The demon continued to laugh before it turned, looking at a much larger being. It was a giant fly, standing on two spindly legs and buzzed as it looked at the dead wizard.
"Fool… We were to use his soul to resurrect stronger demons!" The fly smacked the other demon, watching as some flies flew around it. "But it matters not… We have news from Lord Lucifer."
"Oh? Really now… What are our orders, oh great Beelzebub?" The smaller of the two asked, floating up with its wings, lounging in the air.
"This world is to learn of our power. Granted, that Dark Lord acts like an envoy for Lord Lucifer… He wants Ordered Chaos. The Lord demands that we step it up a notch. While we can't create what we need to summon more demons-"
"Oh calm down Beelze. We can have it under control." The two turned as a human stepped forward, arms crossed under her chest. A black helmet was on her head, but the feminine voice was easy to hear. The larger one glared at her, while the other vanished into the darkness.
"Yuriko… Making the Ring of Gaea again?" The Lord of Flies asked, looking behind her to see the familiar group of people in loose orange gi and hats. "They can only get you so far! The one chosen by the Axiom here will grow to his job soon!And the wizards of light keep looking to Law! This world must become a playground for Chaos!"
"I understand, Beelzebub. But I have it under control." Yuriko smiled and turned from the fly demon. "Now, let me handle the problems of the government like usual. But they need a push to become demons… Resurrecting souls to make Demons only makes the lower classed ones. I'll take my leave now." She walked away, Beelzebub watching them all leave as the demon from before came out of the shadows.
"What now? She'll turn the plan to her own benefit! Won't she?" The Lord of Flies looked at the other demon and walked away, letting the flies it summoned devoured the weaker demon.
"... Lord Lucifer… Let us see how these Ring of Gaea deal with wizards. And then turn to the world at large. Is Lucifuge..."
It turned to see a young woman smile at it. A brown coat and a plaid skirt was on her body, and red eyes looked at the large fly, glowing in the night. "Calm down Beelzebub. And yes. Lucifuge is infiltrating that area we need him to. I expect more trust from my Duke." She chuckled as she watched it look away. "Now… I need a host soon. A few years, one child should become ready. But then again… I never had a wizard host before. Always normal humans." She sighed and shook her head. "Why we always looked at YHVH's land to rule, I'll never know. But we can start here. Summon up more demons, understood? I'll be back home." She turned as the large fly knelt towards her, and she vanished into the dark of Knockturn Alley, as more screams echoed from it like they did every night.
Meanwhile, in Hogsmeade, three beings sat at a table, away from the prying eyes of other wizards. One was an old man with a long gray beard wearing blue robes. Behind his glasses, he watched the two other beings, who simply sat and waited for something. One seemed to be a young woman, wearing the robes of a nun with a pointed hat of sorts on her head. She watched the old man as the third being stood tall over the other two.
Metallic, silver, with large wings protruding from its back and arms outstretched. It's size easily had it reach the roof. Golden orbs that were in the place of eyes glowed before they turned silver, and the being turned into a young man who then sat down.
"What did He tell you, Enoch?" The woman asked, looking at the young man. He brushed some metal strands of hair away from his handsome face and looked to her.
"Albus, it appears that the Demon Lord is taking steps to aid the Dark Lord revive. That is what the Lord has told me. He also wonders why you seem to wish the young Potter boy to aid in the fight? As Messiah, he is to destroy the Filth of the world. Demon kind, all those who disobey His word…"
"I know… But I am worried if the Dark Lord joins with Lucifer. As such, I want him trained to take him on, and then you can have him held destroy the 'Filth' of this world." Albus scratched his beard and watched them. He didn't like how they saw some people as Filth, but for the Greater Good, these Angels wished to help him.
"Indeed. Enoch, did He say anything else about our brothers? The other Choirs of Heaven assisting us?"
Enoch nodded. "Of course. He is preparing the Choirs to assist us in keeping those Dementor's in their area, and our brothers are working in their areas well. Michael is keeping an eye on Japan, Uriel in America, and Raphael is in France. Each keeping an eye on a Magical School and any demonic activity that the mortals see. They have taken care of any Filth in sight, per His order." Albus blinked and frowned.
"Did they show magic to muggles, then?" The young woman shook her head.
"Of course not. We understand your rules, and we respect them. But in the end, we must do our duty to the Lord. By your leave, Enoch. I must return to my mission." The woman stood and left the room, leaving the being turned human with the old man.
"Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. Be at peace. None of your students in the next year shall be harmed. We are merely doing our Lord's Will. And as long as YHVH desires our duty to be done, we shall do so. Now… I expect to see the young Potter at the opening Feast this year. I shall bring him to the Lord." The young man turned into the metallic angel and vanished in a pillar of light, leaving the old man there alone.
"... For the Greater Good, my boy. For the Greater Good." He sighed, standing. He was working with Angels, and they were keeping away the Dark from Hogwarts. He could only hope that they wouldn't kill any students for being this 'Filth', whatever that truly meant.
Unbeknownst to anyone, a young man floated in the Chamber of Secrets, playing his flute to a large snake. Wearing a green coat, with a green hat on his head, his continued to play his flute to an odd being that laid around him. It was snakelike in shape, but it almost seemed to be made of fire and lava. Its head opened into the shape of a flower, and as he continued to play his flute, the snake swayed a little to it. Footsteps sounding behind them made the young man stop playing as the large snake turned and hissed loudly.
"Calm Shesha. Odin, how long has it been?" The young man turned and chuckled, looking at the newcomer. Clad in yellow and purple, the newcomer was tall, holding a spear in one hand as a multi-eyed crow stood on his shoulder. The large being knelt and looked up to the young man.
"Three years, two days, Lord Krishna." He responded, as the young man nodded. Krishna pet Shesha and looked at Odin.
"The world has changed. We expected to awaken in Japan after Dagda summoned his Godslayer, but… Nothing. We awaken in some school's underground as YHVH's minions roam like they own it. Tell me, is the Messiah is saw there?" Odin shook his head.
"No. He no longer lives. Japan was never Mikado, and as such, Flynn never existed. And we are in England… Scotland, sir. A realm I know little of since the ages came and went." Odin stood and walked over, crossing his arms behind his back. "I do sense Dagda in this world, as well as Lucifer and Metatron. It seems the war is here as well."
"So it does." Krishna sighed and played another tune. "Maitreya is here, correct? Has he found any group to turn towards us?"
"No, Lord Krishna. The Ring of Gaea is run again by Yuriko as it was in the world we left, but… I must ask. How did we get here?" Odin turned as a large Buddha like being walked in, golden skin easy to notice in the light of the Chamber.
"Ah, yes. Well, I have a theory. A new Messiah was born ten or so years ago. And her parents were killed by some dark lord." The being walked closer to the three and nodded. "I believe that one of those beings sent a new one."
"A new Messiah? Does Dagda know of this?" Odin asked, holding his spear tighter.
"I doubt it. This world is too new for him and us. I formed here with my beloved Shesha, who has just finished his meal on that other snake." the green wearing young man assumed. "Now, Mother Inanna? Where is she?"
"The Expanse, I assume. I have seen no Fairy Forest, nor any sign of Masakado. But we must move on to our goal. Soon YHVH will find this place, correct Lord Krishna? Shall we move out?"
Krishna turned and smiled at his two allies. "Odin, Maitreya, we shall work from here. The students here will assume that the Basilisk will do something. It was different from normal Basilisks, but who knows. Odin, locate and track this Messiah. I need a Kaliki to eliminate YHVH, and this one will have to do. Maitreya, you find a group to infiltrate to allow for souls for Shesha to devour. Now go. The Divine Powers will rise once more! And we shall bring these humans Salvation." He chuckled as Shesha curled around him.
Hermione Granger was asleep. She had recently gotten a letter from a school called Hogwarts, saying she was a Witch and that she'd be let in. It was something that shocked her parents, but she found no reason not to go. A Witch was to come and show them magic so that she could understand what they're to expect from her from then on. She smiled softly in her dream before she opened her eyes, feeling something was wrong. She sat up and looked around.
This wasn't her room. Her mind studied her surroundings intently. Multiple railroad tracks led to the area she sat in, and she noticed the barriers for train stations before her. The world was a sickly green and yellow, and as she looked at the railroad tracks, she saw they were floating all over the place. And behind the barriers, lied a large pillar of golden green light.
"... ou he… e?"
Hermione turned and tried to find the source of the whisper she heard. Why was she here? And if someone was there?
"Can you hear me?" The voice asked again, as she turned towards the pillar.
"... Yes. I can hear you." She answered. she watched as before her, a human formed with arms crossed. Mostly a brown shade, it appeared as though his teeth could be seen from behind his… The human girl fell on her butt as she realized he wasn't human. It looked like a demon! A monster from her kids books!
"Well, seems like you're not the Messiah I was hoping for. But it'll have to do." The being said, shrugging. The girl shakily stood as she looked at the being.
"W-who are you? Why are you in my dream!?" She asked, terrified of what it would do. Were there dream beings in the Magical World?
"Your dream? Kid… I hate to break it to ya," It started, and as she listened, a chill crawled down her spine.
"But you're dead."
Stephen sighed as he looked at the new world. So many new variables had added themselves to the world since he brought Alice here. And all he could do was watch. He looked at the gauntlet Saint Germain was working on and rolled over to it. He pulled out his tools from ages past and began to work.
'To be a Messiah in this new world… Alice will need more than what she got before.' He continued fixing it. 'While I cannot help as much as I wish, per the Axiom's rules, I can do this. I just hope this is enough.' As he finished his thought, the scientist once known as Stephen Hawking continued to work on a device he made so long ago.
I hope you enjoy this story! As this is my first, I hope for any feedback to help me make it better. And for the first reviewer, I can't answer the first two questions in depth, dreare, but yes, the Law, Chaos, and some other factions will be a dominant force here. As can be seen, each is taking sides, while some are in hiding. Stephen will show up every once in a while, but Axiom rule 3 is that any outsiders not inside the world itself can't interfere like Alice is now. And for the last one, she'll be using 'Relics' like gems and stuff as well as Fundraising. So yes, demons and Death Eaters beware. The Fundraising will come back.
