Alright, just to answer some questions that have been popping up. Teddy and Harry were "kidnapped" by the Metrons, but they're okay as you'll see. Although it wasn't really the Metrons intention to involve Teddy, but Harry was holding him at the time when they took him so it couldn't be avoided. Also, I believe in Chapter 8 many wanted to know if anyone saw Harry use magic at that time. And I'll clarify that no one did. Considering the situation, there's fighting going on, bombs and weapons are going off, there's smoke and dust everywhere and everyone is just trying to focus on staying alive. So Harry uses that confusion to his advantage.
And I'm also pleased that many like the fact that Harry was calm in this situation. I felt it was appropriate because he's already been in a similar situation before during his war with Voldemort. Plus he's a doctor know and has to learn how to work under pressure. But I hope that clears up any confusion people might have had and I really appreciate all the reviews/alerts! I'm terribly happy that people are taking to this crossover so well. I will try my best to keep on track and while there will be some major angst in this (especially coming up) I won't linger too long. I'll try very hard to keep a balance. Anyway! Please read and enjoy!

10. Choices
"Dad, I'm scared," Teddy whispered as he clung to Harry's shirt. Said wizard stroked his son's hair trying to offer him comfort while his mind worked on what to do. He hadn't expected to find himself in such a situation. When the Metrons had explained that one of the crew was to be sent to the planet to fight, the thought of being chosen never crossed his mind. But here he was and to his great horror, Teddy was with him.
The Gorn whom was his opponent, was a reptilian creature that Harry knew he couldn't underestimate considering what was at stake. But he didn't want to fight the Gorn let alone kill him. Harry had had enough war and death to last him a life time and now he was being forced to do it all over again unless he somehow found a way to negotiate with the Gorn. If he wanted to survive, if he wanted to live and protect Teddy, protect the crew he had no choice.
Having a brief stroke of genius, Harry bit his lip as he wondered if the Gorn would understand him in Parseltongue. After all, it was a reptile and while he had his translating device provided by the Metrons, he thought perhaps this would be easier. Sighing, he hissed out, "Please, too much blood has been spilt today and neither of us should die in such a way. It would be better if we should try and negotiate a truce between our races."
The Gorn stopped, seemingly surprised before hissing back, "There can be no truce."
"Why? People have died today, killed in cold blood. There is no need for more slaughter!"
"You were intruding! You established an outpost in our space!"
"Then you should have spoken with them! Talked with them! Instead you murdered innocent people!"
"We destroyed invaders! As I shall destroy you and your spawn!"
"You touch my son and I will make you wish you were never born!" Harry hissed violently, his eyes flashing a brighter green. The Gorn hissed back before he picked up a thick fallen branch, walking toward the pair menacingly. Teddy gripped tighter to Harry as the Gorn raised his weapon. Fingers out, a spell rolled from his lips, "Reducto!" The Gorn along with his weapon were thrown back as Harry quickly picked up Teddy and apparated to a cropping of rocks nearby.
"Dad," Teddy whimpered and Harry hugged him tighter, stroking his hair which changed from its usual brown to a white, showing how scared he was. He whispered softly to him while his mind thought of a dozens of spells and strategies, trying to find a way out of his situation. It was as he said to the Gorn, he did not want to kill him. He was no longer a killer, no longer a soldier.
"But he's going to kill me or Teddy if I don't do something," he thought, biting his lip. Feeling it was best to move in order to gain distance and time, Harry picked up his petrified son and hurried along, the hissing of the Gorn growing fainter the farther he ran. He took in his surroundings and was surprised to find what he did.
Diamonds, sulfur, potassium nitrate, coal and various other materials laid scattered about. It was obvious these were the materials the Metrons mentioned before hand and Harry could see how they could be used to fashion deadly and effective weapons. But he had his magic and would only use it defensively unless he had no other alternative.
"What are we going to do Dad?" Teddy questioned peeking up at him.
Harry frowned, "I don't know."
