A.G.W.S.

2012 A.D.

Turkana, Kenya

Dr. Matsuda's excavation site

Heat, it was the only word to describe how Dr. Matsuda's team felt. The heat of the cruel desert was only offset from the winds that come blew from the nearby body of water. Dr. Matsuda was a leading expert in archeology his team was hand picked and only the finest had been chosen for this mission. Still, if it hadn't been for their biggest investor; a mysterious man who called himself 'Lord Riddle' they would have never had the funding that they had so desperately needed.

Still, for being such a ragtag group of men and women (as skilled as they might be) they considered themselves fortunate to have an investor. In particular since this one had supplied maps, ancient manuscripts and more and all that Lord Riddle wanted was to allow his nephew to observe their findings, and get to hold just one single treasure.

However, he had warned them not to tell his nephew Harry or his friends that he had funded this trip. He wanted it to remain a surprise and so they had (with a little bit of luck and some help from Lord Riddle) gotten Harry Potter, his friend Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley to come and enjoy the unearthing of history itself.

The object in question that Lord Riddle wanted Harry to be able to touch was a massive gold-plated artifact. One that he had called the 'Zohar'. It was all that the man wanted from the team. To let his beloved nephew to be able to touch history. Lord Riddle did suggest that his friends would probably want to be there to see the occasion.

It was a strange request, but Dr. Matsuda felt honor bound to fulfill it. After all, Lord Riddle seemed like a nice enough man who cared deeply about his nephew. What harm could it do?

It was then when his second in command; a black man and Dr. Matsuda's closest friend had given his report.

"Thanks, I think we should concentrate on the northern cliff Tomorrow. The ground there is hard, so we'll need to be careful when we dig." Dr. Matsuda said to his second in command.

"Yes sir." The man nodded quickly as they heard another voice call out to them.

"Dr! Dr. Matsuda!" The man waved as he approached.

Once he drew near he put his hands on his knees and took several deep breaths.

"What is it? Did you find something?"

"Yeah, we followed the corridor from the lakeside. It matches the location described in the scroll given to us by our investor..." He was interrupted by an excited Dr. Matsuda.

"That must be it! Good! Show us where it is, and get Harry and his friends over here!"

The man nodded and a few minutes later Harry, Hermione, and Ron had approached.

Dr. Matsuda honestly liked the young man. he was barely Seventeen but he was humble, had an air of confidence and was quite friendly. He reminded him of Lord Riddle. Both seemed to be great people.

"Ah, Harry and friends we've uncovered what we were looking for and I think you'd like to see it."

"Would we ever!" Hermione said; enthused.

"Calm down Hermione!" Ron grumbled.

Ron, he was an okay guy, but he was a tad on the lazy side, and had enough complaints to beat anyone in his camp in a complaint battle. If it wasn't the heat it was the food, if it wasn't the food it was the water. It was as if he had been raised by some back water native tribe as well, Ron didn't seem to be at ease with technology like his friends did. Still, it seemed to him that the three of them had an invincible bond that could weather through anything.

Dr. Matsuda had no idea how right he was.

"Let's get going!" Hermione said happily as they followed a man towards the corridor.

She was an incredible young lady and already Dr. Matsuda had offered to help her become an archeologist, should she desire such a path, her reply was that she'd consider it. She was ambitious, and had a backbone made of steel. Now, if only his niece was half as nice as Hermione then his life would be perfect...

"It's different from the others." The man said as they made their way to their destination.

"I knew it!" Dr. Matsuda exclaimed in delight.

A few minutes later the man moved to the side and pointed to a location close by.

"It's over there."

"What exactly is 'it'?" Ron asked.

"You'll see." Dr. Matsuda grinned as he took a couple steps forward and knelled.

"Hmm..." Dr. Matsuda said as he looked at the symbol.

He then placed his hand on what appeared to be some type of crest. The clay colored circular crest was about three feet in diameter and had unusual markings engraved on its surface.

"This must be..." Dr. Matsuda said as he pulled an object from his breast pocket of his blue button up-short sleeved shirt.

The silver object was about the size of a pocket bible, and about the same shape as well, except for a couple of ridges that made it vaguely resemble a stunted cross. Dr. Matsuda then placed the object in the recession of the crest.

After he removed his hand they waited for a terse moment. Then it happened, light began to flow away from the silver object. The light followed the crevices of the crest and filled them.

Then, the earth began to tremble. As deep beneath the sea light began to fill creases on the ocean floor.

The light of the visible crest grew brighter.

"What the bloody hell is goin' on?" Ron yelled.

The earth gave a mighty shudder and most of the people at the site fell from the sheer quakes.

Harry had reached out and pulled Hermione on top of him as they began to fall. Thus protecting her.

Suddenly, a massive structure began to break the surface of the water. As it did many of the structures down in the camp crumbled. Slowly the structure began to take shape. The bridge was a deep gray with two beads of red light leading to a several pronged structure. When the earth's shuddering ended and they were able to stand Dr. Matsuda said the statement on everyone's mind.

"Whoa." He said as he stared at the new pathway.

Several light gray pillars flanked the bridge.

"Bloody hell." Ron muttered behind him.

Yet, it wasn't quite over. A greenish blue orb several times the size of a man began to glow as it hovered above the pronged structure. Quickly it took shape and a massive golden version of the cross like item that had been in his breast pocket just minutes before waited for them.

"This is it. The Zohar."

A beam of light ascended into the heaven's at Dr. Matsuda's words.

Rain began to fall heavily.

"Well, Harry, Hermione, Ron. Let's go check it out." Dr. Matusda said.

Ron looked at him dumbly.

"Are you nutters? That...thing just caused an earthquake!" Ron yelled.

"Ron, it's ok. Let's just go walk down there, ooh, and ah over it for a few minutes and get going." Harry decided and followed Dr. Matsuda.

With their leader's decision the party of four made their way to the 'Zohar.'

Once they stood directly in front of it Dr. Matsuda spoke.

"Why don't you three touch it first?" He suggested.

Hermione looked at the hovering Zohar nervously.

"Are you certain it's safe?" She questioned.

"It should be fine. All of our documentation suggests that anyone can touch it without any trouble." Dr. Matsuda soothed.

"Alright then." Harry said trusting Dr. Matsuda.

The three teens touched it at the same time and what happened next surprised everyone except Voldemort himself.

The Zohar glowed...

Xenosaga Episode 1: Der Wille zur Mach

Harry slowly awoke to the sound of Ron's voice.

"..Happened?" He was saying as Harry blinked and cleared the tiredness from his eyes.

Their current location seemed to be some kind of storage room. Colorful metal crates were stacked on top of each other by the walls and a low hum could be heard.

"I'm not sure. I don't even know where we are right now." Hermione retorted in frustration.

"Well, the first thing we need to do is find out where we are. Hermione, what have you figured out so far?" Harry asked as he stood.

"Everything seems different. People are wearing weird clothes and it looks as if we are on an almost sci-fi cruise liner." Hermione reported.

"Sci-fi cruise liner?" Harry questioned.

"I didn't want to get spotted so I didn't go out far but take a look."

With a slight smirk Harry pulled open the backpack that he had worn and shook the invisibility cloak.

"You brought your Dad's cloak?" Ron asked in only faint surprise.

Harry nodded before he flipped the cloak over himself.

"I'll be back quick. After all I don't want to get lost." Harry noted.

As soon as he left the storage room Harry was floored. The walls were a gentle white and there was many pieces of technology that Harry had never encountered before. Instantly Harry turned back towards the door and cast a locatus* charm. With his ability to find his friends assured Harry explored the massive facility.

Yet his surprise was increased one hundred fold when he saw the first window leading to the outside of the...ship they were on. He was staring at an endless sea of stars.

"So, how's Vector's project going?" A man armed with some kind of assault rifle asked a young woman with a yellow and blue suit.

"It's going just fine. From what the Chief Uzuki said we've almost finished with the 400's."

"Huh?" The man asked dumbly.

"Oh! Sorry, I forgot that you aren't part of the A.G.W.P. Anyways, what it means is that after the next tests we should be able to the start up next." The woman explained.

A.G.W.P.? 400's? Chief? They've lost me but it seems to me that that 'Zohar' that we touched was a little different. I'm guessing that it is some kind of magical object because there is no other explanation I can think of...

Harry suddenly noticed a small computer terminal and he hastily made his way to it.

He quickly began to type on the holo-keyboard.

Display Time and Date.

March 2nd

4767 T.C.

I-Impossible! Over four thousand years? What about Voldemort? The Death Eaters? Everyone else?

Harry forced himself to calm down before he typed his next command.

Display Location

5 Hours to Athens UMN Gate

Retrieve Information on UMN

THE UMN is the Unus Mundus Network, an informational Network that also handles Gate Travel. The UMN is a critical asset to the Federation and other government bodies.

I'm now officially lost. What the Blazes? Gate Travel? Unus Mundus Network? What is all this rubbish?

Harry heard a few voices nearby and so quickly made his way back to his friends, as soon as he shut the door behind him he flung off the cloak and turned to them.

"Guys we have a very, very big problem." He said.

"I knew that and it's name is he-who-must-not-be-named." Ron grumbled.

"Nope, not Voldemort, a bigger problem."

"What's bigger than a dark wizard nutcase that wants to kill everyone?" Ron asked dumbly.

"Being over Four Thousand years in the Future." Harry replied dully.

Ron laughed heartily until he saw the grim expression on Harry's face and Hermione's rapidly paling one.

"You're just pulling my leg right mate?" Ron asked weakly.

Harry shook his head.

"'fraid not Ron. Somehow that 'Zohar' pulled us into the very distant future."

"Damn it." Ron cursed.

"Ron!" Hermione chastised.

"If there's a time that I'm allowed to swear it's now!" Ron growled.

"Children!" Harry yelled over them.

The two of them flushed in shame before they turned to Harry.

"This is bad certainly but we better not spend our time arguing." Harry said.

"You're right Harry." Hermione admitted.

Ron nodded his agreement.

It was then when it happened. Sirens began to howl and red light illuminated the area.

"Attention All Crew prepare to engage in Gnosis forces! I repeat all crew prepare to engage Gnosis forces! All A.G.W.S. Pilots will be the front line of defense. All civilians make for the escape pods in case the battle goes ill."

"Gnosis?" Ron asked.

Harry shrugged.

"We should probably heed her advice." Hermione advised.

Harry nodded in agreement.

"We don't know enough to engage these Gnosis." Harry remarked.

"Then let's get away from here now!" Ron said as they exited the room.

This is a HP/Xenosaga Idea. This one came to me as I saw the Xenosaga Show and glanced at one of my open tabs. It was a HP page.

Oh boy. Now I do have much more story idea than this. Magic is already an element to Xenosaga...Kinda. And With certain elements...This has big potential. (I feel at least.)

Okay so I borrowed the intro credits to Episode 1. Don't sue meeeeeeeeee! If you do I'll give you my bank account....Which is currently....EMPTY! Hehehehehe! (Not really funny but that's what happens when you're healing from an injury X.X) I'm mostly back on my feet and now getting a new job (since it looks like some physical barriers won't let me work such a demanding job anymore...Sad eh? I'm only 20 and my body can't do certain things already...(Guess That's what happens when you've had the living tar beaten out of you when you were a kid.)

So, for the sake of the kids Watch out for them please? I don't want to see another like that...............................

Okay I rambled a lil bit, sorry about complaining. Anyhow, the premise is simple to this. There will obviously be changes to Xenosaga if HP is there. (Those meddling kids!!!) Would I go through all 3 games? Dunno, I might skip chunks here and there and add here and there...I'd have to let it flow a little ways to get a full feel to what would happen with a magic slingin' trio against the Gnosis and whatnot.... Btw, the A.G.W.S. is a little challenge instead of an actual title for this. I'm using that as a placeholder till' I decide on a better one that is moronic like..."Harry Potter Xenosaga"

Lastly, In the game the date is unknown but in the 20XX era. So I changed it slightly and for a reason....Why 2012? Take a guess! ^.^
