Chapter Twelve: Feel My Blade
In the main command area of Atlantis you could see many people walking around very quickly, trying to get everything ready. Athena was typing on the computer, getting information about the area where the attack was going to occur.
To the left, the headmaster and headmistress were talking on their cell phones in the headmaster's office. In the little waiting area Alex talked to Jason, Mina, and Rosa about the overall plan. It wasn't until they felt a cold draft that they all turned to the headmaster's office to see a very upset headmistress walking out of the office into the main area. She was still talking on the phone.
"I don't care what he does or says, you tell him that if he wants to see his family alive, he will follow our orders. If he doesn't like it, shoot him again and see if he listens," she yelled in to the cell phone and slammed it shut.
The headmistress's eyes were cold as ice. You could feel that the room was getting colder than it should be.
"Sweetheart, is everything alright?" Alex asked his wife while putting a calming hand on her shoulder.
Vanessa just sighed, and smiled a little at him.
"Mr. Weasley is really asking for it… He tried to leave when he found out that there is going to be an attack. Our men stopped him, along with his friends, but he wouldn't shut up, so I told them if he tries to leave again to shoot him where the sun don't shine," she told her husband with her eyes glowing crystal blue and then back to her normal brown.
Almost every male in the room shivered at the thought. Alex just smiled at his wife. The look on his face was that of a proud husband—and a scared one, because he knew that she meant it, too. The mood lightened up as soon as the headmaster walked out of his office.
"That's great, Alice, we'll see you shortly. And tell Steven to send the Majors team to scout out the town," he stated into his phone as he walked up to the group. He glanced at his sister with a knowing look and started to speak again.
"Yes, Alice, you will be in command while your husband is in the field. We'll talk about that when we see you, alright? See you soon," he stated with a smile on his face and hung up.
"Well, everything will be ready for us when get to Moonlit," he told the group.
The group just nodded their understanding. The headmaster turned to Mina and Rosa.
"Would you two please bring our guests to the Temple Forest area, while we make sure that Atlantis will be safe while we're gone," he asked them nicely.
The two blondes nodded and turned to leave when he stopped them again.
"Hold up, Mina."
Mina turned around and saw him pull out two letters and hold them out to her.
"You know who they go to," he told her with his eyes flashing blackish-gold.
"I understand, Sir," she told him, and, taking the letters, she left with Rosa at her side.
The headmaster turned to his sister, who had on a smile that stated I know what you're up to. The headmaster just shrugged and turned to Athena.
"Let's get started; raise the shield," he told her while turning back to everyone.
Athena just nodded her head, pushed a couple of buttons, and glanced out the window to the far right.
You could see a silver-like light form around the school from the bottom to the top. Throughout the school everyone was watching it form. Some couldn't help but smile at the sight, while others were worried because they knew that something big was about to happen.
As the shield finished forming, Athena looked at the information on her computer. She smiled and turned to her commanders and family.
"Everything is in the green; we're all set, Commanders," she told them.
"Thank you, Athena. Give me school-wide," ordered the headmistress.
Athena pushed another button and nodded to her that she could go ahead.
"Attention all students and personnel, this is the headmistress. I would like to thank everyone for all the hard work that they have been doing to get really for this upcoming attack, and I would like to let everyone know that you all will be safe while the headmaster and I are away."
She stopped talking to let that information sink into their minds.
"As many of you know, the headmaster and I will be going on this mission and are likely to be in rough shape when we return to you all. Please understand we wish it didn't have to come to this, but we feel that it will help us with our little problem.
"Know that we love you all and that we will return to you all. Thank you and have a great day," she finished up, and nodded to Athena to turn it off, and wiped the small tear that fell from her eyes. She then felt someone pull her into a warm hug. She knew it was her husband.
"Alex," she thought with a loving smile and held him closer.
The others around smiled at the sight.
"Alright, Athena, submerge the school," the headmaster ordered.
The next thing that everyone knew, the school started to shake a little. An alarm was going off to warn everyone what was happening. As the school slowly started to sink into the ocean below, Mina and Rosa, along with their guests, were waiting in the Temple Forest area.
Rosa was enjoying watching the worried looks from their guests as they watched the ocean water start to surround the school. Mina was glancing around with a big smile on her face. It didn't matter how many times she had seen this happen before, she still loved it. It also reminded her of her summon pet's little sister and she shyly glanced at Luna and Ginny.
"Someday I hope she will return to us all…" she thought with her eyes flashing whitish-gold.
As the school finally stopped on the bottom of the ocean floor, it shook a little. All around them they could see ocean life. It was very much like looking at the biggest aquarium you have ever seen.
"Wow! What is keeping the water back?" asked Ginny with a look of awe in her eyes.
"That would be a shield," stated a male voice from behind them. Everyone turned to see Jason, Alex, Hermione, and Harry walking up to them. Luna felt her heart jump when she saw the man who was slowly taking her heart away walk up to them. He was wearing a black leather jacket, with a black undershirt and very nice fitting black pants. There, on his left breast patch, was the school symbol.
She could tell he worked out because she could see some muscle through the undershirt. She felt a blush coming, but keep it at bay. She glanced at her best friend and saw she was having a hard time keeping her blush at bay as well. She glanced at Hermione and saw that she, too, mirrored her brother. Well, now that she was looking everywhere but her Harry, she could tell that everyone who was from Atlantis was wearing about the same thing. Also everyone was wearing the same gear they wore on the temple trip a while back.
Luna glanced around and felt a little uneasy with them. They all looked ready to kill but didn't look happy about doing it. Hermione and Harry, on the other hand, looked like they were just bored to death.
"Odd?" she thought while watching Harry and Hermione.
"Alright, listen up, because I'm only going to state this once. When we get to Moonlit, Miss Lovegood and Miss Weasley are to follow Lt. Cyber and Captain Shield to one of the black helicopters. I want Mr. Longbottom and Mr. Weasley to follow Major Cyber and myself into another one. Once we get close to your hometown we will return your wands, and from there you will, I mean WILL take orders from Lt. Colonel Alice Shield—do I make myself clear!" Colonel Night told them with a tone just asking them to question his orders.
Luna and Ginny could tell that Ron was about to say something but kept quiet after they, along with Neville, gave him a look that stated that he better not say a word, or else. They then nodded their heads that they understood.
Harry glanced at them and smiled a little. He then glanced up into the endless ocean. You could just make out the rain that was falling.
"Alright, let's get go..." he headmaster was about to say, but something stopped him. His eyes flashed, and he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
"WAIT!" yelled three young voices that echoed through the area.
The group turned to the entryway and saw Snow, Heather, and Serena trying to catch their breath. Behind them was Jessica with a face stating that she couldn't stop them, but with one look into her eyes you could tell she didn't try.
The parents just smiled at each other, knowingly. After the girls got a hold of themselves, they walked very quickly up to them. They stopped a little ways in front of them.
Hermione and Mina glanced at one another and shared a look. Their husbands just smiled at their daughters. They could tell that their little ones were worried. It was written all over there faces.
Hermione, along with Alex, walked up to their daughter while Mina and Jason walked up to their own and waved Heather over to them. Hermione kneeled down to her little one's height. She slowly opened her arms.
"Come here, Snow," she stated softly and lovingly.
That is all it took and Snow threw herself at her mother.
"Mother!" she cried in her arms.
Hermione held her only daughter and let her cry a little. She knew, along with her husband, that their daughter knew that they were going into danger again and this time it could be really bad. Alex smiled at the sight. He glanced to see Mina holding her little one as well, but what worried him was that Heather was a little out of this. He could tell she missed her mother and father, too.
"Don't worry too much, Alex, she will be fine," stated his commander.
Alex glanced behind him to see the headmaster putting his cell phone away. Alex just nodded. The next thing that happened, there was a bright light that appeared and vanished just as quickly.
"Heather," stated an older woman's voice.
The short black haired little girl turned around so fast that you felt that her neck had snapped. Her eyes shone with happiness. There, standing a little ways from her daughter, was Alice. She had her long hair pulled back and had the same outfit that everyone else from Atlantis was wearing. Heather ran to her mother and hugged the life out of her.
Everyone just smiled at the sight, even Ron. Harry glanced at Luna and saw longing but happiness. He also saw the same in Neville's eyes. He glanced up into the ocean once again.
"Everyone in Atlantis knows that if their mother and father go off on a mission there is a big chance that they may never return to them, but their parents know that their child or children will be safe and well taken care of," he stated out loud.
Everyone who wasn't with a child of their own, turned to him when he started to talk, but they couldn't tell if he was stating it just to state it, or if he was telling them.
"Snow, Serena, Heather, come here, please," the headmaster called them over. He glanced at them as they walked over to him with their parents.
The three walked over to him as he bent down to the ground. He then looked each one in the eyes and smiled at them.
"Do you three remember why we pull Atlantis under the ocean?" he asked them.
The three looked at one another as if the other one would have the answer, then they glanced up at the ocean, closed their eyes, and thought. It didn't take long before Heather, who was the oldest of the three, found the answer. Her eyes snapped opened and she smiled a little.
"Because of the ancient Queen," she answered.
"Very good, Heather," the headmaster replied with a sad smile.
The headmaster's eyes were flashing blackish-gold.
"Doesn't it say in our ancient history books that they believe that when she died her body fell into the ocean because she felt closer to her King and could always gaze up into the night sky to see if she could see him," stated Snow with a tone that stated I know everything. Her two best friends just hugged her while laughing.
The headmistress just blushed a little and glanced away. Her husband hugged her with one arm. Ginny and Luna giggled while Ron and Neville just shook their heads.
"Yep, she's Hermione's daughter, alright…" stated Neville quietly to himself. It felt as though that there was more to this story than it was telling. His summon pet agreed with him because his eyes flashed a stormy-gray color and he felt a calmness in his soul. He turned back to Harry as he pulled the three into a big group hug.
"You three be good and we will see you soon," he told them with love and care in his voice. The three nodded and walked back over to Jessica, who was just watching from the side.
Harry and Hermione glanced at one another and nodded. They each pulled out their sunglasses and put them on. Harry glanced around and saw Alice nodding her head with a somewhat evil smile.
"Let's get started," stated Alice, and then mouthed something. The next thing they knew, everyone had to close their eyes because of a blinding light, and they felt something wash over them. As the light faded, the three little ones just smiled sadly because they knew that they were gone. Jessica just smiled and wished them luck in her mind.
You could feel the cold wind and rain. As the light faded the group looked around. They were on the outer wall of Moonlit in front of three helicopters, which were running. Alice saw a person run up to them and she knew who it was.
"Sweetheart, are we all ready?" she asked as the man stopped when he got to them.
He smiled at her and nodded.
"We're all ready, is Heather alright?" he asked with a little worry in this voice.
"Yes, she is fine and safe, now let's get to work," she stated then kissed him on the cheek.
Steven just smiled and glanced at the group.
"You hear the lady—get moving! Commanders this way," he stated, and ran to a far-off helicopter with Harry, Hermione, and Alice right behind him.
Luna watched as Harry took off; her heart felt alone again. She couldn't understand why she felt this, but knew that she would see him when they got to her hometown, or so she hoped, at least. She felt someone pull her forward, and let that person lead her to one of the other helicopters. She and Ginny sat next to one another as Mina and Rosa sat across from them. The side door closed.
The two best friends glanced around them. They saw what looked to be a screen in the wall and two people up front with all different types of lights on. They saw Mina and Rosa put on a headset and they followed. They could hear Mina talking though it.
"You two alright?" she asked.
The two best friends were a little shocked, but just nodded their heads. They didn't know what these things on their heads were, but it seemed to them that you could hear and talk to them at the same time with the headset.
Luna glanced out the window and saw that they were taking off. She knew something bad was going to happen; she could feel it in her body. Lightning flashed as the three helicopters flew though the thunderstorm.
One of the far-off fields next to a forest a ways from Ottery St. Catchpole was a military base camp; it wasn't very big, but it had the best view of the whole town. There were two or three big tents up and couple of black trucks marked with the Atlantis symbol were a little ways from the tents. You could see about three to five groups of people walking around in and out of the tents.
A young Major was standing in the rain, waiting for his commanders to arrive, which should be any minute now.
"Sir, you have an incoming call from Colonel Shield," stated one of the men from within the tent. The Major nodded and returned to the tent, where he took off his hat and walked over in front of the computer screen. On the screen were Colonel Steven Shield and his wife, Lt. Colonel Alice Shield.
"Major Thomas, report," stated the Lt. Colonel.
"Ma'am, we have scouted the area and have had no signs yet of any Death Eaters, or anything else of his army." He stopped and then continued, "I have two teams out right now, waiting for them to report in. One is in the forest and another in the town itself."
"Well done, Major, we should be there any time now."
On the screen you could see Alice turn to talk to someone behind her and then turn back.
"Major, the Commanders would like to know, about how many children are in the town?" she asked with a voice that stated I knew they were going to ask that.
"At this time we can't tell you—any team that went into the town was trying to keep a low profile," he stated and then turned to one of the men and told them to find out, if they could, about how many children there were. He then turned back the screen.
"We're doing everything in our power at the time, Ma'am, but we don't have any summoner in any of our groups, so we won't know until you show up," he stated with a little worry in his voice but tried to hint the best he could.
"Don't worry about it, Major, but I want a full report when we land," Alice said to him, and the computer went blank.
The Major just nodded his head. One of his men walked up to him and told him that they were landing. The Major nodded, put this hat back on, and followed him out of the tent. The wind had picked up because of the helicopters. As they landed, the side doors opened and twelve different people disembarked from them. On one of them he could see someone take down a redhead to the ground and hold them there.
"Well, you haven't change much, Weasley," he thought to himself. It wasn't long before his commanders were in front of him and some of his men. They saluted to them, as their commanders saluted back.
"Commanders, Colonels, welcome to base camp; everything is ready," he stated and then glanced at Major Jason Cyber holding Ron's good arm behind his back because the other arm was in a sling.
"I can only guess on how you got hurt, Weasley, you never did use that head of yours right, even in school," he stated.
Ron and the others who were not part of the Atlantis team looked over to him and all had shocked looks on their faces, other than Miss Lovegood. She looked like she was putting one and one together.
"Dean Thomas? Is that really you?" asked Ginny.
The Major just nodded his head; he wasn't really happy to see them.
"We thought you were dead, or were taken. What happened to you?" asked Neville, trying to get his head around the idea that one of his dorm mates was alive.
Major Thomas just glared at them and turned around and went into the tent.
Ginny and Neville glanced at one another and knew that it was bad. They then turned to follow him into the tent. They all sat around a foldout table that had a map of Ottery St. Catchpole. As they were about to get started a man walked into the tent, walked over to Major Thomas, and said something into his ear. He nodded.
He then turned to his commanders.
"My team has returned. I will get their reports and return as soon as I can," he stated. He then saluted to them and left with the other man who'd come in. As soon as he was out of the tent, Steven and Alex started to look over the map, while Alice read the report that Dean had written for her. The headmaster and headmistress just stood in the back with their arms folded and heads down, like they were praying or something. Ron was still being held by Jason, who seemed to be having a great time with this. Mina was talking to someone outside the tent who handed her a sliver case. She thanked the person and walked over to table and smiled a little.
As for Rosa, Ginny, Neville, and Luna, they were just waiting quietly for something to happen or something to do. It wasn't long before the male Weasley couldn't take it anymore.
"How many more people do you have from our world? And would you let me go, already? We need to go warn our families!" he yelled the last part. He then groaned in pain as Jason put more pressure on the hold that he had on his good arm.
"Keep it up Weasley, and I am just going to have to hurt the other arm," stated Jason with a soft sick voice in this ear.
Mina just glanced at her husband and smiled a little, she know her husband well enough to know that he was not one to mess with when it came to live combat. She knew that he had killed before, and so had she. She also knew that they both would have to kill again tonight, and no matter how many times they have killed, they both knew at the end of the day they both loved one another and that was all.
"Alright, while we're waiting for Major Thomas to return, we'll go over our battle plans," stated Alice, looked up from her report. When she knew that she had everyone's attention and that they were listening to her, she continued, "Alright, the main point to this mission is to get the Lovegood and Weasley families to safety, and also make sure that the people of the town will be alright, does everyone understand?"
Everyone but Ron nodded their heads. Alice's eye just glowed red and then back to her normal color. She turned to him and looked him right in the eyes as her eyes turned red again.
"Mr. Weasley, if you put my people in danger, I will order them to kill you on sight; am I understood?" she stated more than asked.
Ron could feel and tell that this was one woman that you didn't want to test at all. This woman scared him like no other—not even his own mother scared him like this woman did. It was like she was reading right into his soul with her red eyes.
He just bowed his head and nodded. Alice looked at the other three friends of his as if to make it clear that she meant it for them, too. The three just nodded their heads and glanced away. Looking into her eyes just screamed out death to all.
"Alright, Lt. Cyber and Colonel Night, you will escort Miss Lovegood to her home; make sure it is alright, and if her father is home get him and yourselves back here safely, understood?" Alice told Alex and Mina.
The two nodded that they understood.
"Captain Shield and Major Cyber will escort the two Weasleys and are to do the same as the first group. Also, Colonel Shield will be in the town with other teams if you are in need of backup," she told them and they all nodded they understood their goals.
"Now, under the orders from the headmaster and headmistress, you are to use whatever means necessary to get the job done, and that means, to all who can, summon if you need to, and if the two big fish appear, you are to let me know right away; we'll let the commanders handle them," she ordered with her eyes glowing red, and then back to normal.
"Alright, any questions?" she asked while looking around the tent.
Neville had an idea what the "two big fish" were, but felt he better make sure. So he raised his hand.
"Yes, Mr. Longbottom?" Alice asked him to ask a way.
"When you say "big fish," I take it that one of them is Voldemort, but who is the other?" he asked with an uneasy voice.
"That would be Albus Dumbledore," stated Alice as if she was talking about the rain.
Neville and his friends couldn't believe what they were hearing. They all glanced at Harry and Hermione, who were just watching them all like this was nothing new.
"You talk like Dumbledore is the same as Voldemort…" stated Ginny while getting the feeling that something was about to be said that would change the way that she looked at her lost friends.
Alice glanced behind her, at her family—even if they weren't by blood. She knew without even seeing their eyes that they had changed and her own summon pet let her know it was going to be alright. She smiled a little and turned back to them and just sighed.
"To us, there is no difference, and I hope that you have come to understand while at Atlantis, that we have no problem killing any of your kind; we may not like to do it, but if it comes down to it, we will. We don't attack first, but if they throw the first spell... well you get the idea," stated Alice who just shrugged.
It wasn't long before Major Thomas walked back in and stood in front of the table. Alice just nodded her head, telling him he may report.
"The team in the forest didn't find anything and the team in the town reported that there was nothing," he stated and then waited for orders.
Alice took this information, talked it over with her summon pet, and nodded to herself.
"Alright, Lt. Cyber, return their wands; we're moving out," she ordered.
Mina just nodded and opened the silver case. She then turned it around to show them. Luna and the others took their wands back with sigh. It felt good to have them back.
Colonel Shield told Major Thomas that he wanted one team to stay with Lt. Colonel Shield, and everyone who wasn't on the away mission was to follow him. Everyone then left the tent and stood in the rain.
"Aright, move out, and please be carefully," stated Alice though the rain, as she turned back and returned to the tent. Back outside, one of the other members walked up to the commanders and told them that their bikes were waiting for them. They thanked her and walked over to them. Standing next to them, they glanced out into what would soon be the battlefield.
Luna watched them. She felt that she needed to say something, or do something. She was about to walk over to them when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She glanced behind her. Mina was smiling at her. The rain was flattening her hair.
"Let them be. This is hard on them, but they will be aright," she stated with an understanding voice.
Luna was about to say something, but Mina started to speak again.
"Luna, remember that no matter what happens, he cares," she told her. Luna nodded her head; she didn't know what to feel, but with one last glance at him she followed Mina to one of the trucks. Mina opened the back door for her and when she got in, she closed the door. She then got into the driver's seat and headed towards Miss Lovegood's house.
The other truck followed, which held the two Weasleys. Neville stayed with Colonel Shield and his team. He wasn't happy about it, but they didn't care about his feelings in all this.
The two commanders just watched the weather and smiled a little. Their bikes were running.
"Do you think we'll have to summon ourselves?" asked Hermione offhandedly.
Her brother just glanced at her and smiled.
"Well, what fun would that be if we didn't?" Harry stated while turning back to town.
"If these people believe that you two are alive then it could be bad," stated a voice from behind them. The brother and sister didn't turn around because they knew who it was.
"Well, we'll tell them the same as we tell everyone else—we are, but we're not them," stated the headmistress with a cold voice.
The person behind them just giggled a little. The headmaster just shook his head and smiled.
"If you wanted to kill them all, I wouldn't stop you," the headmaster smiled at his sister as he gestured to the whole town with his right hand.
Hermione looked like she was really thinking about it, but just shrugged.
"How long before things get started?" Hermione asked not really to anyone.
Harry just glanced up at the sky and his eyes flashed golden-black, and then back to his green.
"I'd say right about now," he stated and pointed his arm out towards the town. The next thing there was a loud, booming noise.
"Right, you two be safe. I don't want to have to let my daughter's best friend know that you are dead," stated Alice with edge in her voice as she walked back, yelling out orders.
The two commanders' faces took on a hardened look as they just waited for their prey to show up, which they knew wouldn't be long. While this was going on, at the Lovegood's home Luna was just getting out of the truck when the first explosion went off. They all glanced around and saw that a part of the town was on fire.
"Come on, we need make sure your father is alright before we can help them," stated Colonel Night, with his gun at the ready.
The three didn't get very far, before five black shadows appeared in front of them.
"Let's get this done with," stated one of the Death Eaters.
One of the Death Eaters turned around and saw them, but before he could say anything to the others he fell over, dead.
Alex didn't wait, and shot the one that glanced at them. It didn't take long before the other four turned to see their target.
"It's Loony, get ..." one of the Death Eaters started to say before another shot was heard and he or she fell dead. You could see the blood running out of their bodies like rivers. The other three Death Eaters started to fire spells at them now. Alex knew that this wouldn't be very hard, though he felt like this was only the start of a long night.
He moved out of the way of the killing curse and took two more shots, they hit, but they weren't fatal shots. He smiled to himself when he saw the look of shock on their faces when their little shield spell didn't work. The Death Eater disappeared with a Portkey.
Luna somewhat couldn't believe what she'd just seen; the blood that flowed over the ground was a little much. She was so fixed on the blood that she didn't see a spell heading her way. The next thing she knew, someone was taking her to the ground. She looked behind her and saw Mina on top of her. The lighter blonde was looked at the Death Eater who had cast the spell.
"Luna, never take your eyes off the enemy," she stated and then told Alex something in a different voice and language.
She then helped Luna up while Alex kept the last two Death Eaters from leaving.
Luna was about to start her attack and she raised her wand, but a gentle hand pushed her arm down. She glanced up at Mina with a questioning look.
"Luna, watch Alex," she told her with a different voice. Her eyes had changed to a whitish-gold color. Luna turned to Alex and saw him just moving away from every spell that came at him. He was moving closer to them with every move. As he got closer, the Death Eaters were moving back. The Colonel just moved, but didn't fire his weapon. He was ducking, rolling.
As Luna continued to watch she could tell that the enemy was getting tired. It was like Alex was playing with them. It wasn't until what she saw what came next that her eyes went wide in disbelief. Alex was in between the two, still dodging spells. The Death Eaters both cast the killing curse, and Alex didn't move; he just stood there. And then, at the last second, he hit the ground and the two Death Eaters both dropped dead from one other's spells.
He got up and glanced around; waiting to see if any more would show up. When it didn't look like more were going to appear, he turned to the ladies and smiled. He had mud all over him, but it looked like he'd gotten out of that fight without much trouble.
Mina just smiled at him. "You know that if your wife had seen you pull that move, she would have frozen you to death," she stated with her voice back to normal.
Luna looked at her and asked the question that was on her mind, well one of the many.
"Your voice changed again?" she asked looking at Mina as if she was trying to find something.
Alex just smiled and turned back to the Lovegood's home and started up towards it, keeping an eye open for anything out of place, but from the look of this house, it may be the other way around. Mina pulled out her sidearm and followed him with Luna right behind her.
"When my voice changes like that and my eyes change color, it's a sign that my summon pet has taken over and is talking though me," Mina answered as she glanced behind her and saw that it was coming together.
It then hit Luna, Harry and Hermione both have one, as does Alice. Their eyes had changed a couple of times. Mina smiled and then her eyes changed again and she glanced around. Something was off; it was getting colder, and it wasn't because of her Princess.
"Colonel, hold up," stated Mina's summon pet. The colonel was peering though the window, but couldn't see anything inside. He glanced back to see what she needed.
Then he felt the coldness as well. He looked up into the stormy sky, but it was too dark to see.
"Mina, is this feeling the feeling I think it is…" he stated more than asked.
Luna closed her eyes and knew what was out there, but couldn't tell where it was coming from. She shook her head, trying to keep the images of her dead mother away.
"Colonel Night, you've got about thirty or so incoming Dementors approaching from your six o'clock," stated Alice over his radio.
"Yeah, thanks," he replied as he quickly walked over to girls.
"We got incoming," he told them.
"Luna, Alex, get behind me," Mina told them.
Luna was about to tell her she knew the spell to block them, but with one look into her eyes, she had a feeling it would be best to do as she was told.
"Ancient soul that lives within me, I break the seal of my soul to summon thee, show them your Heavenly Light, as I call out your name," Mina said in her mind.
She then raised her left hand into the air.
"SERAPH!" she yelled as lightning flashed.
Luna watch as the woman in front of her started to glow and then just disappeared. She glanced aroundbut couldn't find her. Suddenly a single white light broke through the storm clouds and that was when she saw a large white egg floating in midair. It then started to shatter. From within, an elegant, gorgeous lady with wings on her back stood in front of them. Her white wings had a little gold to them. Her whitish-gold hair was blowing around a little and her white dress seemed to repel the rain.
"I never get tired of watching them do that…" stated Alex offhandedly.
Luna couldn't keep her eyes off this angel. She just nodded her head that she could see why. She felt a peacefulness she hadn't felt in years. She then glanced around the angel and finally saw the Dementors.
"Do not fear, they won't get near you," stated Seraph with a calm voice. Her wings then expanded and started to glow.
"Return to where you belong!" she yelled.
Then a flare of pure white light shone from her wing, right at the Dementors. The monsters screamed in terror. The light was so bright that Luna and Alex had to cover their eyes. The light spread all through the town, making every Dementor in the area run for its life. On the hill where the headmaster and headmistress were standing, Harry glanced at where the light had started.
"Luna..." he thought with a little worry. His eyes flashed blackish-gold.
In the front yard of the Lovegood's home, the light dimmed down. Seraph glanced to where the King and Princess were standing. She smiled and her eyes flashed with a white light.
"Don't fear, my King, she and her best friend are safe from them," she thought and sent her feelings to her King. She then glanced down at Luna who was still just watching her. She then floated down to her and slowly raised her left hand to the side of Luna's face. Luna closed her eyes and smiled a little at the touch. Seraph leaned her head forward and kissed Luna on the forehead. As she removed her lips, a pair of angel wings appeared and then faded away.
She then smiled lovingly at her and nodded her head. She then folded her wings around her and faded within them, like a child keeping warm on a cold night. She then disappeared and Mina stood shakily in the rain, in her place. She then fell to the ground, breathing very hard.
"Mina," stated Luna, coming to her side.
"I'm alright, that just takes a lot out of you…" she replied, slowly getting up.
"We need to check the house, and get out of here before any more show up; that little light show sent a signal out saying 'Hey, come see what that was,'" stated Alex glancing around, waiting.
"Right," agreed Mina and the three ran up to the house, opened the door, and walked in. It didn't take long to find that no one was home. They headed outside, got into the truck, and quickly drove to town, just as some people showed up.
While all that was going on, in town people were running around scared. A couple of the buildings were on fire and there were spells and gunfire everywhere. You could hear screams of townspeople trying to find cover or some place to hide. Colonel Shield and his team were trying their best to get people to safety, but most people would run away from them.
They had put on night-vision glasses to see. There were a lot of Death Eaters, not to say what else was in there. The fire was giving them some light, but the rain that was falling wasn't helping too much. They were doing what they could with what they had.
They were all trained in different types of weather, so they at least had an idea of what to do. The colonel stood behind one of the buildings and shot at a couple of Death Eaters, then took cover back behind the building. He knew it was getting bad. He glanced around and saw his men fighting hard to kill those things. It was when he saw Longbottom that he knew he needed to get him some help.
He glanced around the corner and then ran over to one of the covered areas. Neville was not having a great time with this; he felt that he needed to be with his friends and not with these people, claiming that they were helping. Some part of him liked the idea but the other part didn't like the way they were going about it.
He threw a couple more spells and then cast a shield charm spell. It wasn't until he saw green that he dove for the ground. He didn't know how much longer he could keep this up. His friends and he had fought big groups of Death Eaters before, but nothing like the number that was out there now.
"Well, at least you knew to get out of the way of that one," stated a voice from above him. Neville glanced up to see the colonel holding his hand out for him to take. He took it and got up before they went back down to the ground as three more killing spells flew over their heads.
"Well, at least they're making it hard for us," stated Steven with an amused smile before signaling with his hand to one of his men to do it. He then opened one of his pockets and took out a small brown bar that read C4. He then planted it on one of the trucks and put a device in it and then used a different hand signal.
He then turned to Neville.
"Longbottom, run back up the street as fast as you can go when I say go; keep your head down and DO NOT run in a straight line, " he ordered him.
Neville looked at him oddly, but seeing the Atlantis team heading back wherever they came from he felt it would be best to do as he was told.
"GO!" the Colonel yelled.
The two ran up the road like two mad men and moved left and right, staying safe from friendly fire. As they ran, Colonel Stevens hit his radio and yelled into it. The next thing that Neville knew was that the Colonel ran into him, taking him down to the ground and they both rolled a little next to small alleyway.
As they rolled to a halt, there was an enormous explosion. Everything around them started to shake as the shockwave ran through that part of town.
"What the bloody hell was that?" yelled Neville, getting up and glancing behind them to see that more of the houses were on fire and the trucks that had been there were no long there.
Colonel Stevens just glanced around a little and pulled Neville around a corner without answering him. He then reloaded his gun while still glancing around. He glanced at Mr. Longbottom and saw that he didn't look very happy, if not a little worried.
"Colonel, do you copy?" asked Dean's voice over his radio
"Go ahead, Major," he replied seeing some of his men heading back the way they'd come, moving around the parts of the trucks that were lying around.
"It worked, we got maybe a handful of them; most got away, but looked to be in bad shape when they Portkeyed out," answered the major.
"Copy that, any non-Death Eaters hurt?" he asked as he and Neville ran back to where the trucks were at one time. Just before they got closer, two black fighters showed up.
"Locarcerous Mortis!" one of them shouted as a bluish colored spell headed right at them. The other yelled "Reducto!" pointing their wand right at Steven. Steven just side-stepped it and rolled under another spell. Neville threw up a shield charm again and again as more spells headed his way. He only dove out of the way if he heard the unforgivables.
Steven just keep moving and smiling while he was doing it. He kept at it, using as little energy as he needed. He knew that most magical people weren't used to this type of fighting and would slow down fast. As soon as he saw his opening he took it, and shot the Death Eater right in the head.
The other Death Eater glanced at his partner and was shocked out of his system, but before he could turn back to his fight he heard the word "Stupefy" and fell over. Neville, too, was shocked at the death in front of him, but took the time to end his own fight. He then glanced at the colonel as he was looking around. He saw he was about to use his radio again when they both felt it get cold.
Neville knew what was coming. He turned around and saw about ten or so Dementors heading right at them. He pointed his wand and remembered what Harry had told them at their last DA class about what you needed to fight these things. He closed his eyes and thought about his girlfriend and what she meant to him. He then felt something else like a calm feeling wash over him. When he reopened his eyes, they were glowing.
"Expecto Patronum!" he yelled and out of his wand came a stunning silvery phantom shape of a lion as it headed towards the Dementors, but before it could even get close, a pure white light washed over them and made the Dementors run for their life, or what they had of it.
"Well, I'd say Mina is having a great time," stated the colonel while walking over to the knocked out Death Eater and shooting him in the arms and legs. Neville walked up to him quickly and saw what he'd done.
"Why did you do that?" Neville asked, not liking what he saw.
The colonel just shrugged and started walking away, explaining, "So that he or she doesn't get back up if someone removes the spell."
Neville nodded and then followed. It wasn't long before they reached a group of Atlantis' people helping some families. He saw Steven talking to Dean, who nodded a couple of times. He turned around when he heard a truck come to a stop behind them. He saw Luna, Mina, and Alex get out and run over to him. Luna gave him a hug, but then was pushed down by Alex as a couple of spells flew over them, hitting the already burning building.
"Come out, come out, Loony and Longbottom!" stated a voice that made Neville see red and made Luna just as angry. The two got up and turned to see a couple of Death Eaters but in the middle of them was the right-hand person to Voldemort.
"Bellatrix!" they both yelled, their wands at-the-ready.
Alex, Steven, Dean, and Mina glanced at the group and told their teams to get these people to a safe place. Mina's eyes changed again and she calmly walked over to her two new friends, with Alex and Steven standing behind her, watching around them. Dean glanced once at the enemy and just helped the hurt people to safety.
It wasn't that he didn't want to help fight—it was just that he knew through his training that he needed to help the hurt first, then come back to help in the fight if it was still going on. While Dean's team did their job, an all-out fight was going on. No one knew who shot first, but this time it didn't matter.
At base camp, the headmaster and headmistress were impatiently waiting for the word. It wasn't until they saw movement in the forest that the headmistress turned her head. She could make out something moving in the forest, coming closer. She smiled evilly.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" she asked mockingly while moving more into the open. Her brother just turned, but didn't move. The team that was left saw their commanders watching the forest and also saw the movement. They got into a defensive position around the camp. Some humans started to come out, but in their hands were wands and they had a look of blood-lust in their eyes.
"Oh look, Brother, puppies that need to be put down," she stated coldly and not in her voice. She glanced behind her, smiling at her brother, who just smiled back.
"I don't even know how you became a Princess with the way you act," stated a misty voice coming from within the command tent. Alice walked out with eyes glowing red. She walked over to the headmistress and smiled at her with a look that stated, Yeah, I know you and your playful coldness.
The headmistress just shrugged and watched as one of them was going to start throwing spells. She was about to summon but a soft hand was placed on her shoulder. She glanced at her sister and saw she was smiling.
"You're going to need to use yours later on, allow me to handle this; you two get ready to head out," she stated nicely but more of a command.
The headmistress nodded her head and somewhat felt sorry for them, but not too much. She walked back over to her bike and got on it. She looked at her brother, who just shrugged and did the same. It wasn't until they felt it that they knew it was them.
"Finally—I thought they'd never show up," stated Hermione, a little upset.
Harry nodded that he agreed. He turned back to Alice and her team.
"Give them hell," he yelled through the rain with pride and worry at the same time, but it wasn't time to feel that; it was time for them the feel Alice's blade. The brother and sister took off like bats out of hell. The Lt. Colonel ordered her team to give her some covering fire while she summoned. The team didn't need to be asked; they started to shoot, but not kill, they were going to let their, Lt. Colonel, do that.
It wasn't long before the ground stated to shake.
"Ancient Knight of old, I break the seal of my soul to summon thee, show them your blade of death, as I call out your name," she stated in her head and, like Mina before, she raised her left hand into the air.
"ODIN!" she yelled and then, with a flash of black flames, she disappeared.
Her team then hit the ground and kept their eyes closed. The magical people who were attacking them stopped as well. The shaking at last stopped, but something didn't feel right. Then a mist formed. They could hear what sounded like a horse's feet hitting the ground. It sounded like thunder every time one of the hooves hit the ground. The magical people started to back up but found out that their bodies were so much in fear that they couldn't move.
As the sound of the horse came nearer, they could hear what sounded like chainmail. One of them glanced ahead and saw two sets of red eyes. They could now hear the breath of the animal. It sounded very upset. Then, out of nowhere, they saw it. There, in front of them, was a demonic-looking knight with black horns coming from his helmet.
In his left hand he wielded a long, curved scimitar. His torn up cape flapped in the wind. His body armor was very rusty but still moved with his body like it was new.
His right hand was holding onto the reigns of his horse, which also looked very demonic, with its own pair of blood-red eyes. The knight glanced at the people who were trying to hurt his mistress's family. A cold fury ran through his dead veins. Then, without a word, he and his steed rode through the enemy with such speed that no one could blink before the demonic knight was behind them. Then, without turning around, every one of the enemy fell dead right where they stood. They all were sliced though. If anyone had glanced at his sword, you could see the blood running down its blade like warm water.
Just as fast as he came, he was gone. Alice stood where she was standing before she summoned. She was a little shaken at the sight, but at least her men were alright. She yelled at them that it wasn't over and to get back to work. She glanced out into the town, and smiled sadly because she knew that what she did was nothing compared with what the King and Princess could do, and that wasn't taking into account the lost Queen.
"Be safe," she stated calmly but with an upset voice. She knew that they needed to keep the information going and be ready to leave at any time. She walked back into the tent and started yelling orders.
While Alice was summoning and the headmaster and headmistress were heading to their prey, Jason and Rosa had made it to the Weasley home. Ron and Ginny got out and ran all the way up to their home. Jason and Rosa didn't stop them because they turned around when they heard the explosion behind them, coming from the town.
They were about to head to the house when people appeared around them with their wands pointed at them. They didn't look like Death Eaters.
"Well, how long before their enemy shows up?" asked Jason while leaning on the truck with his hands folded.
Rosa just smiled at him and glanced around and saw that these people still had their wands pointed at them. Most had red hair but others didn't. Rosa saw Jason do something with his hands but couldn't tell what.
"I would say any time now. So, how do you want to handle this one?" she asked like this was nothing new to them. She walked over to him, moving a little to the left as a spell passed her.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" asked one of the redheads. He looked to be around 28 or so. The blonde next to him looked about the same age, though maybe a little younger.
Rosa glanced at Jason who just waved to go ahead and tell them. She smiled and turned to the group.
"We're here to take you to safety, because Death..." she was stopped when the same redhead started to talk again.
"We know that, what I want to know is who you are?" he asked again with an edge to his voice.
Rosa eyes changed color and changed back. She just shrugged and then pointed behind them.
"Behind you," was all she said and just as she said it Death Eaters appeared around them and started throwing spells. While an all-out spell fight was going on, Jason and Rosa ran all the way to the house. As they got closer they could hear yelling. They both hit the ground as spells headed their way and rolled out of the way as more were aimed at them.
"Ginny Weasley, Ron Weasley, it is Captain Shield and Major Cyber, please stop firing spells at us," yelled Rosa from behind a work shed. Rosa and Jason glanced around and saw an older woman with red hair standing to the side of the window, yelling at someone. The door opened, then closed, and then opened again, and closed again. Rosa and Jason glanced at each other oddly.
"What the hell?" they said together.
Rosa then felt something and knew that it was bad. She turned to Jason with a worried look. She hit the radio on her headset.
"Alice, they're here at the Weasley home," was all that she could say before she removed her sidearm and glanced around.
"They're already on their way, do what you can to get their family out safely. Backup will be there shortly," replied the Lt. Colonel
"Well, it looks like we're doing this the hard way," stated Rosa with her eyes glowing. Jason just nodded and took out his own sidearm. They both rushed the house and broke through the door. In the kitchen, five others shot spells at them, but they never hit them; the spells seemed to stop in midair. Jason had his gun pointed at them while Rosa had her hand up and her eyes were a dark gray color and she was smiling evilly.
"I believe that it's not nice to hit people who are trying to help," she stated in a misty voice. She then moved her hand and the five spells shot across the room and out the now-broken window. Ginny was smiling somewhat because it got her mother to stop yelling and listen for once. In the room was her mother, Neville's girlfriend Hannah Abbott, and her brother's girlfriend, Lavender Brown. The two other girls were still pointing their wands at them. Ron kept his wand at-the-ready but knew that it wouldn't do any good.
Before anyone could say anything, all the windows in the house shattered and the house shook a little. Then everyone fell to the ground. Ginny's mother and Lavender screamed a little. Rosa and Jason moved the kitchen table over and jumped behind it as a couple of Death Eaters showed up. Miss Weasley cast a couple of shield charms to protect her children. Death Eaters cast spell after spell, destroying everything around them. Rosa and Jason popped up and stated firing. The Death Eaters didn't know what hit them. The unbelief showed on their faces as they fell over, dead. Blood was all over the place; you could hear the mother and two other young ladies lose their dinner.
The next thing that happened knocked all of them on their backs. They glanced over to see a big hole where the living room had been. Rosa got up and yelled at everyone.
"We need to get out of here before we get caught in crossfire," she told them, helping up Neville's girlfriend, even if she didn't know it. She saw Jason glancing around the corner and move back just as fast. He turned to her and from the look in his eyes she understood right away.
"Let's move it, people!" she yelled at them, starting to move towards the back door. Ginny helped her mother, who was in shock of what was happening around them. As they got outside it was like something out of a war movie; two sides fighting for something they believed in. They were heading to their truck when another drove up to them. With how fast they were going, they could have hit anything and anyone and not cared. The spells were being fired left and right and they all took cover. The side door opened and Luna, Neville, Mina, Alex, and Steven started firing, give the others time to get behind something. Luna saw a green light heading right for her best friend and without really thinking, she jumped in the way, holding her while knowing this was the end, but happy that she'd saved her best friend in the whole world. As the two girls held one another they didn't see someone else step in the way.
Ginny had pushed her mother away from her and felt her best friend hug her for dear life. She knew this feeling very well. It was the feeling that you're about to die. Both girls didn't feel the other die; instead they heard something hit metal.
"You dare attack her and her friend of all people?" yelled a very upset and angry voice. It was male and they both glanced up to see the only person they wished to see again, mainly Luna.
"Harry?" they both asked at the same time, a little shocked to see him there, but one glance around him they could see why. A little further away from them was the Dark Lord himself. Harry glanced behind him to see that the young ladies were alright. He then turned back and moved his sword to block another killing curse.
"Colonels, get these people out of here, NOW!" He yelled and then just as fast as he was there, he was gone and back to fighting the Dark Lord. You could also see Hermione fighting Albus Dumbledore. The two young ladies glanced at each other and started to get up. Then they were pushed back down by Mina and Rosa as spells flew at them.
"You two really need to watch around you more closely," stated Rosa, getting up and helping Ginny and Luna to their feet. Mina glanced around with her eyes and knew that they needed to get farther away from this fight. Her eyes flashed whitish-gold that her summon pet agreed.
She turned to see Neville holding his girlfriend and Ron doing the same. Alex was helping Ginny's mother up while the others kept watch and fired off spells or bullets as needed. They all needed to get away a little faster, but with the spells being fired they had to stop and deal with it. It wasn't until she saw Jason say something into his radio that she smiled at her husband.
The colonels told everyone to get behind the work shed or the truck. The next thing that happened made everyone but four people stop. A little ways up the driveway the other Atlantis truck exploded. Rosa glanced at Jason and knew what he'd done. He'd planted C4 so, if need be, he could detonate it to take the minds of everyone else away from them. She nodded at him.
"Very well thought out, Major," she told him and started to move farther away from the battles that were going on.
Luna kept glancing behind her. She wished she could be next to him, fighting, but knew that she would get in the way, but someday she would be able to be right next to him to fight. She didn't know why, but she just felt that it was right, even if it confused her a lot. The group quickly moved to a safe distance from the fight, though they could still see it.
Previously, Harry and Hermione rode through the rain like it was nothing. They passed Steven and Alex's team as they drove through the town. It didn't look like it was going well, but they knew everyone of them would be alright. As they drove, some part of them was looking forward to this; another part, a deeper part, was very scared, but knew that they would be alright as long as they had faith in themselves and their summons. The brother and sister glanced at one another as they saw fighting ahead in the field all around the Weasley's home.
They didn't care about the little fight; they wanted the big fight that just starting. They could hear Rosa over the radio tell Alice that their target was just seen. They both somewhat smiled at that. As they drove closer, they could see spells flying around; they drove in and out between the spells, never stopping. They could see a battle of two great magical people fighting and it looked to be about even.
As the two got closer, they could just make out Jason and Rosa running into the house. The stopped their bikes a little ways from the fight. They both moved their heads as a couple of spells flew at them, looking up they saw a couple of Death Eaters and Order people fighting close by, but not that close. They each pulled out their sidearm and shot a couple times, then saw a couple of magical people fall over; if they were dead, they didn't know, but at least they had stopped shooting spells at them.
They both parked their bikes and got off them while they were still running. Both Dumbledore and Voldemort saw them, but kept throwing spells at one another.
"Well, which one do you want, my dear sister?" asked a stony-face Harry as he and his sister walked up to them without a care in the world.
The brown haired young woman just smiled at him and glanced between the two but when she looked at Dumbledore images appeared in her head. She shook her head and glanced back at the old man.
"I would like the old man," she stated with a cold voice.
The brother glanced at her and knew it had started; some of their memories would return. He nodded with understanding.
"Well then, I believe I have snake-face then," he replied as he turned to the Dark Lord, without fear. He, too, started to get images in his head and had to push them to the side.
By this time, both Dumbledore and Voldemort had stopped firing spells and watched the two newcomers both walk up to them like it was a walk in the park. The male and female turned to their targets and smiled a little at them. The sister and brother stood in front of them, back-to-back. Then, without a single word or sound they both shot their guns at their targets. They fired so fast that Dumbledore and Voldemort barely had time to throw up shield charms. They both understood non-magical people and the weapons that they used.
Unlike the Death Eaters and magical people, who knew next to nothing at all about their weapons and who died fast and in shock because they didn't know how much power to put behind their shield to stop them, the two powerful wizards understood Muggles, so knew what to do in case they ever attacked, too. The two had to keep up the shield charm though because the gunfire didn't stop.
When the brother and sister's guns ran out of bullets they lowered their weapons and just smiled.
"Well, at least these two had brains enough to know what they were facing…" stated Harry while keeping his eyes on the Dark Lord.
"Well, at least this won't be boring," replied his sister with a cold smile. Her summon pet wanted to come out and play, but Hermione kept it at bay, for now, anyway; she knew in the end she would more than likely have to.
The two then started to move closer to their targets. The Dark Lord was upset that some Muggles were getting in his way, and a little shocked that they had just fired their guns at him like it was nothing new and they weren't even shocked that he stopped them.
He had heard of these people in passing and through a couple of reports, but this was something new to meet them.
"Do you really think that some Muggle-weapon would stop the great power full Lord Voldemort?" the Dark Lord yelled through the rain at them.
The Headmaster of Atlantis looked at him funny and morphed his handgun into a sword.
"It was a thought, but I must say, you talk too much. Let's see what you've really got…" stated Harry. While he spoke, the blade of the sword started to glow and then he swung his weapon in an upper cross movement and a beam of light rocketed towards the Dark Lord.
Voldemort cast another shield charm and just put enough power behind it that it stopped the attack, but it had pushed him back. He then had to roll out of the way of another attack before he could cast the killing spell at the young man in front of him.
His aim was right on, but the young man just moved his sword in the way, stopping the spell. The thing that shocked the Dark Lord was that it didn't break the weapon; it had a burn mark, but he couldn't tell from this far away.
"Come on, Tommy Boy, you're going to have to do better than that if you want to kill me," Harry yelled back in a mocking tone that just made the Dark Lord even more upset. He was going to show this Muggle why people feared him.
He then started to throw even more powerful dark spells at his new target. As for Harry, he knew that he was getting the wizard upset and knew that what came next was going to hurt a little. He moved his sword into a defensive position. The force behind the dark spell was so strong that it knocked him right over but he landed just right as he got up into another defensive position just before another powerful spell hit him again and threw him right through the Weasley's home.
As Harry was having his fun, his sister was just in a joyful mood. She, like her brother, just slowly walked up to her target without much of a care.
"Young lady, I would ask you not to fire something at me again, and to leave while you can—this place is not safe," Dumbledore stated kindly but kept his wand at-the-ready.
"Now why would I do that, Dumbledore, when I came all this way to play?" stated the brown haired young woman, though if one had seen her eyes, they were flashing back and forth from brown to white as crystal with a little blue in them. She raised her gun, but before she could do anything the wizard yelled something.
"Expelliarmus!" yelled the professor and was shocked when nothing happened. He glanced at the young woman and saw her looking at her gun like she was trying to find something on it. She then looked back at him and smiled and then he saw her move to the right as a killing spell moved passed her. He knew that this was not a normal person if they knew that a spell was heading for them without seeing it coming.
"I would ask why you even tried to do that, but I can't seem to care; you magical people really don't think sometimes before you act, at least try these," stated the Headmistress of Atlantis.
She then turned her gun into a wand of some kind and then, before Dumbledore's eyes, the weapon itself glowed and made a copy of itself and floated into the young woman's other hand. She spun them around her hands a little and then took on an offensive position. He knew that there was no getting out of this fight because even without seeing her eyes behind her dark sunglasses, her body just screamed out "let's play."
Dumbledore glanced all over this young woman and it wasn't until he saw the symbol on her jacket that he knew that this person was from that school they'd been trying to find, but before he could read anymore into that, a bluish-white light was shooting right at him. He then blocked it and fired back.
Hermione knew from her research on the old man that he was very powerful and that he shouldn't be taken lightly. She understood now why—after the first spell, which came right at her even if she moved out of the way; she couldn't stay there long because more spells were coming. Her head was hurting because the more she saw of this man, the more memories came. She didn't like it at all; it was like her body was hurting and this man was making it do that. Her summon pet wasn't happy about what was going on, but also knew that it needed to keep its partner calm for just a little longer
The two kept at it, and it wasn't long before there was a loud explosion to her right and she saw her only brother being thrown through the side of the house. Her eyes flashed dangerously. The rain that was falling was now turning to a mixture of rain and snow. Everyone around could feel the coldness.
The Headmistress of Atlantis glanced at the burnt house and the images that popped in her head were something out of a nightmare. She was calmed somewhat when she saw her brother walk back out with a face that stated pain but was alright. It was when she saw the blood that she couldn't take it anymore. The last image that popped into her head was the final call—the image of her brother under a burning beam, blood coming from his side, his right hand out, holding someone else's hand.
"AAAAAAAAAA!" she screamed as a shockwave came off her and all the windows in the house shattered. Her eyes just screamed with pain, and then it stopped. Her eyes turned to the old man and saw that he was just getting up.
"Brother, give me some cover!" she yelled.
Harry moved quickly and was right next to her while blocking every one of the Dark Lord's spells while watching the old man. He could fell the pain and fear that was coming off his sister. He, too, had been getting images of parts of his past and more had come when he'd landed in the living room of the Weasley home.
He knew what she was about to do and knew that he, too, would have to do the same to end this battle. He saw his sister close her eyes to summon.
"Ancient Princess of Old, I break the seal of my soul to summon thee, freeze them all to hell, as I call out your name," Hermione yelled in her mind as she, like the others, raised her hand in the air and screamed.
"SHIVA!"
Unlike the others she didn't disappear; her eyes turned white crystal blue. The shock and pain hit her, hard. Tears fell from her eyes and before they left her face they turned to snow. She fell to the ground on her knees. She held herself like she would never be warm again. Then, from the ground, ice surrounded her until it completely covered her, before anyone could do anything to help her. The ice that covered her shattered so fast that the ice flew all around at top speed; anyone who didn't hit the ground got hit by a very painful ice shard.
Voldemort and Dumbledore just watched in awe. They never, in all their living, had ever seen anything like this. They both looked up into the sky at what had come out of the ice. There, hovering above the ground, a little ways from Harry, was a very gorgeous woman with long bluish-white hair. Her skin was a very light blue as well. She wore a crystal bluish-white dress which flowed down her like water. There were snowflakes all around the dress.
Before anyone could say anything, the woman's eyes opened and it screamed out pain. It glanced down to her mistress's brother and smiled warmly at him.
"Brother of my Brother, please move aside while I deal with this male," she stated kindly but when the word male came out it was like a cold winter's night and nothing living at all.
Harry just nodded and started back towards his own target. He stopped before he got too far away; his own eyes had changed again to blackish-gold.
"Sister, remember that we need to get our partners back to Atlantis as soon as we can," he stated, but before he could take a step, he felt cold arms wrap around him and felt a kiss on his cheek. He glanced to his side and saw Shiva smiling at him before floating a little ways from him with a playful smile on her face before it became a cold killer's once more.
"Don't worry, we will, and soon our Queen will be with you as well," she stated without glancing back.
Harry just nodded but didn't say anything. He then saw that the Dark Lord wasn't watching them anymore but looking toward something else. His summon pet let him know what it was before the Dark Lord's spell was out of his mouth. With speed and power he moved. While he did this, Shiva summoned a couple of big crystal ice shards.
Dumbledore had seen mystical things in his life, but this took the cake away. He was about to say something when he heard one of his Order people run up to him, but before he could tell the young lad to not come any closer, he fired a spell at the mystical people in front of him. The spell never got close as one of the crystal shards moved into its path and blocked it. The next thing that happened froze him to his spot.
Shiva glanced at the young man who was running up to them, firing off spells like no other at her. She didn't have time for this—she had to get moving. She glanced up into the sky and saw something black moving far behind her and landed. She then moved her hand out and pointed it right at the young man.
"I don't have time to deal with you, human," she stated and snapped her fingers. Instantly, the young man was turned into ice where he stood. He was dead before Albus could do anything to stop it, and then, with another snap, the ice body broke into pieces, hitting the ground with a thud. The cold smile on her face made Albus very angry and upset. He started to fire every one of his fire-type spells at this thing, but everything was blocked by the shards. It wasn't until he started destroying them and then throwing fire spells at her that she had to move. As he kept doing this, he felt like something was wrong. He knew from what he'd seen so far that this thing was using ice-like attacks and that using fire would help, but it just seemed to only make her more upset. The more she saw fire, the more bitterly cold it got. It wasn't long before he knew it was time to leave or never fight again. The next thing that made him worry was the word out of this mystical person.
"Diamond Dust!" yelled Shiva.
She then raised both hands behind her head. All the cold that was around was being drawn to them. The power that was coming from her was making every single person run in fear. Just as fast, her hands came back over and a huge ice storm was thrown right at the head leader of the Order. He didn't have much time, but just as a part of it was about to hit, his phoenix appeared and took him far away from that thing.
Shiva knew that he'd gotten away, but the people who were far behind him weren't so lucky. She then heard her brother yell from behind her and knew that she needed to make sure that the two young ones were alright; she then disappeared with a light snowfall where she was floating.
"You dare attack her and her friend of all people?" Harry yelled even if it wasn't his voice. He glanced behind him to see the two young ladies were alright, but a little shaken up. He then moved his sword to block another killing curse, yelling at his people to get them out of there. He then moved with speed and grace as he got back to his own target. He knew from his summon pet that his sister was alright. He rolled out of the way of more dark spells and threw back some more of his own type of spells, if you could call them that.
The two kept at it for sometime, never slowing down. The Dark Lord couldn't understand how this person was keeping up with him, blow-for-blow. What the Dark Lord didn't know was that he was hurting the young man, but not in the way he thought he was. He was cut here and there, nothing for him to be worried about. It was his mind that was in trouble; the images that were floating around were not helping.
Finally he knew he couldn't take anymore. After he knocked a dark spell out of the way, he turned his sword back into his gun and put it away. Another spell headed straight for him but he just moved out of the way like it was the wind blowing passed him.
"Tommy Boy, how does it feel to face off with one of the most powerful summoners alive?" asked Harry, whose eyes were now flashing.
"A what?" asked the Dark Lord as he stopped throwing spells and glared at the young man, who was smiling.
"Dumbledore felt my sister's blade; now you're about to feel my blade," he stated and then within his mind, "Ancient King of Old, I break the seal of my soul to summon thee, show them your flare of might, as I call out your name."
He then raised his hand in the air and before the Dark Lord could stop him, he very, very softly said something and snapped his fingers and in the sky above them a number ten appeared. It was flashing so that everyone around could see it.
Harry's eyes had fully turned blackish-gold. The weather around them was suddenly dead. The rain and snow stopped, instantly. There was no wind. Nothing could be heard. Everyone who had been fighting had stopped. As the number in the sky had turned to a nine and then an eight, any animals around started to run for their lives. The clouds started to move together and in the center, it made a hole. The light of the moon shot right through the hole and landed right around the Weasley home and the two men. The blood-like tear that fell from Harry's eyes was not a pretty sight.
"You may be a dark lord, but you will never live to see another day after this attack—if you don't believe me, stand still and wait until the timer hits zero," stated a misty like voiced young man with black hair. He smiled evilly at the Dark Lord.
Voldemort didn't know if his young man was bluffing or not, but that smile was something he had seen before, though he couldn't place where. Suddenly, he and everyone around them heard a thunder-like scream come from the sky. The number in the sky was about to hit zero when a light was growing bigger and bigger from the sky above; no one could see what was making it.
It wasn't until a blackish-white beam shot from the sky right at the house that Voldemort disappeared without thinking really where, just anywhere but where he was. Just as he faded away, he saw the young man fall to the ground, face first. It was the biggest explosion yet that day. You could see it miles away and as soon as it came, it ended. Every Death Eater had disappeared at this point and only a couple of Order people were left as they, and everyone else, had been knocked to the ground by the shockwave.
What no one saw was a black figure fall from sky and land where the explosion had been. Luna and Ginny couldn't believe what they'd just seen and anyone what wasn't from Atlantis was in the same shock. They saw the whole fight, and still couldn't get their minds around what was going on. As they saw the light come from the sky, an ice wall was put up in front of them and was destroyed by the shockwave but no one was hurt and the helicopter that just landed was alright. Alice was running over to them, telling her people it was time to go. Luna and Ginny turned to see that Ginny's mother had passed out, along with Neville's and Ron's girlfriends. The boys were holding them, trying to wake them. The two girls saw Shiva land in front of them with a sad smile.
She then gracefully bent down in front of the redhead, moved her cold hand to the side of her face and slowly bent down and kissed her on the forehead and when she removed her lips a single snowflake appeared and disappeared. She then got up and looked at them.
"We are always watching over you," she stated, then was covered in ice once more and it shattered off to reveal Hermione. She was about to fall over when her husband caught her and picked her up. The worry and love was all over his face; he smiled at the girls and then turned ran as fast as he could without hurting his love. As the Atlantis team boarded the helicopter, Mina walked over to them and glanced out into the now cloud of dust and saw two huge darkish-gold eyes watching her, or, more likely, the two young ladies on the ground.
She smiled, turned, and bent down to eye level of the two girls. She moved her hands into her inside pocket and took out two letters. She then handed them to the rather shaken up girls.
"Luna Lovegood, Ginny Weasley, these letters are from our Headmaster, and he wishes that he could have given them to you in person, but had a feeling that he wouldn't be in the right state of mind, so he asked me to give them to you," she told them with sad smile.
"These are from Harry?" asked the light blond haired girl, with an upset voice.
Mina just nodded at Luna before getting up and turning back to the figure that was now showing through the dust cloud.
"It's done," she stated to it.
All she got as a reply was a blink of the eyes, and then the huge black mass shot into the sky with its master, going as fast as it could without anyone knowing it was there. Mina nodded and glanced once more at the girls, who were holding each other, with Luna crying and Ginny looking like she was about to follow suit.
"We'll be seeing you," she stated and ran over to the helicopter, got in and shut the door. It took off back to its home base. As it flew through the sky, Order members slowly started showing up; everyone looked like hell, but alive. Luna glanced up into the now somewhat clear night sky.
"Don't go, Harry!" she yelled in her head as she cried even harder. She held onto the letter with everything she had. Ginny was now crying as well. She held her best friend in the whole world and knew that she, too, was holding her own letter just as hard. The two best friends cried into the night. Everyone glanced around but didn't know what to do other than just watch as the dust cleared and revealed that where the home of the redheads once was, was now a crater.
Next Time: The aftermath of the battle. Luna and Ginny return to their home with some hope. They each hold a letter from Harry himself. As they read and try to understand, Luna starts to feel closer to him by watching the night sky in Chapter 13: "Stargazer"
