It was not a normal thing for a dead person to send a howler, even at as strange a place as Hogwarts. Even more odd for said howler to arrive at breakfast and be in front of everyone at the school.

"ALBUS DUMBLEDORE," they heard Lily Potter's voice thunderously howl in the Great Hall. "YOU BETTER HOPE YOUR NEXT GREAT ADVENTURE DOESN'T INCLUDE ME WITH A MECH OR A SPACESHIP! IT WILL JUST MAKE IT WORSE THAN ME GETTING MY HANDS AROUND YOUR THROAT OR HEXING YOU!"

It slowly then sank in that was the first howler of the school year. Which given the sort of insanity that had happened even such a short period of time said a lot. Even the field trip to Tokyo 3 should have gotten some Howlers from some parents.

Of course many in Londo Bell wondered if the parents had even been informed on what had happened. Or if they even believed what they were told as some of that included the castle leaving the Earth and going into space twice. Or even that an army eliminated over one hundred dementors in minutes with ease.

It seemed odd to the members of Londo Bell how detached the parents were, or if not detached disbelieving in the ongoings of Hogwarts. Or did they need it to be officially told to them by the staff to believe anything? Or did they even care at all?

The howler was already finished and it seemed brevity and being to the point was what Lily Potter wanted. Still the point had been made and her displeasure with the headmaster crystal clear. Especially to the headmaster himself, as he looked down at his breakfast instead the students, fellow teachers, or Londo Bell pilots.

Dumbledore wondered which chill going down his spine this related to. Which left him pondering what the other chill had involved. With Londo Bell it kind of was hard to tell. It literally could be anything. Mu la Flaga was not kidding when he said they all worked to make the impossible possible.

No wonder magic to them was considered just another normal thing they dealt with all the time. Everything they did was completely insane and even worse for the long time members was considered completely routine.

"Harry my boy do you have any idea how that happened?" he inquired as frankly he was extremely curious how he got a howler from a dead person.

At this point Dumbledore won't be surprised if they found the Resurrection Stone in a sock drawer. Especially if it was Cooplawski.

"I visited Potter Manor with Professor Lupin and told my life story to the various paintings in it," Harry replied with a hunt of bemusement. "It got rather heated on if Ryoma or Hayato should brutally murder you."

By now no one held any belief that neither man wouldn't do that if they had to. They'd likely completely enjoy it to be honest.

"Isn't that quite harsh?" Dumbledore commented as he realized just how out of control things had gotten. Or how even more insane things would get if Harry introduced those magical paintings to his team mates.

Things would never be the same at Hogwarts again. Even with how much it had already changed this year. At this rate they might figure out how to allow the magical paintings to pilot mecha. After all they were working on getting the Sorting Hat to be able to pilot a mech.

Dumbledore wondered if those Haros would be piloting mecha as well. Or even make giant pilotable versions of Haros.

Volunteer Ensign Potter literally glared at the headmaster for that remark. He should be glad he didn't tell the magical paintings about the screw ups the headmaster did in that timeline Albus Severus came from. Harry considered those to not matter as he intended to make sure they never happened and the Death Eaters crushed to powder long before they could take over the wizarding UK subculture.

Plus he had bigger problems like alien invasions or the Dinosaur Empire or Doctor Hell to deal with. He didn't have the time to play with a bunch of inbred racists.

"Sir you sealed my parent's will and did whatever you wanted," Harry noted sharply. "And of course all the things that happened to me while I was at a supposedly one of the safest places."

Dumbledore nearly said it was too dangerous for Harry to have left Hogwarts, but he realized that tactic wouldn't hold water and likely have Harry state all the dangerous incidents he had at Hogwarts. Harry could go chronological order or severity to more than just himself.

'And the boy would know how to use that,' Dumbledore thought to himself.

It said a lot to Dumbledore that what had seemed to be the most obvious threat to Harry was nothing of the sort. He also didn't look forward to having to deal the massive mess surrounding Sirius Black.

Heads were going to roll in that disaster and Dumbledore was sure that Londo Bell was going to make sure those that made it happen weren't going to escape the consequences. If anything they were going to drag them kicking and screaming to their judgement. Possibly also with limbs broken by Ryoma and Hayato if need be.

"And be glad it wasn't grandmother Dorea for the howler," Harry stated with slight bemusement. "She was extremely livid and felt Hogwarts had completely gone to the dogs."

Anyone that remembered Dorea Potter nee Black could easily imagine how pointed and extremely vulgar that Howler would be. Those that had been at Hogwarts when James Potter was a student remembered the few howlers she sent. The woman had no issues against using words not meant for polite company in those and frankly seemed to relish in being able to put them to use.

There also was the fact she'd have a lot more to be angry about over what happened to Harry. That would make it even more crass and foul mouthed and no one really wanted to see how far she would go. Plus she'd likely have it also show up over breakfast and teach all the students new swear words.

Dumbledore was sure various Londo Bell pilots would teach the magical painting of Dorea Potter some new swear words to use as well. They seemed to be the type to do that.

"Perhaps we should take this somewhere more private," Dumbledore suggested in an attempt to save some of his pride.

"I believe that it is too late for that," Kiva said with a slight smirk.

"Nice try on saving face," Excellen said with a laugh.

"We enjoy bringing you crashing to the Earth," Ken Kaido commented.

Ryoma just shot Dumbledore an infamous "Getter Smile". Dumbledore found as disturbing as the first time he'd seen that deranged facial expression. Dumbledore also believed the man did that just to freak out people.

"Plus I'd tell my teammates anyway," Harry remarked. "I think they'd want to know and I have utterly nothing to hide on the matter."

Snape purposely stayed out of this as he saw Ryo Magami inspecting one of his guns and Ken Kaido cleaning a knife.

The Death Caprice Squad scared him nearly as much as Ryoma Nagare and Hayato Jin.

Snape didn't even want to look in the general direction of those Getter pilots right now. Even the nice one Musashi Tomoe unsettled him. He was sure they'd give him that smile that would make even Bellatrix be wary of them.

Inwardly Snape frowned that reminded him of the daughter of Bellatrix and the Dark Lord locked away. It did not make him feel good without Londo Bell the Light would be as bad as cleaning up as after the first war. Now he was sure a second rise of the Death Eaters would be stomped and considered nothing more than a footnote in history.

That gave him good reason to stay on the good side of Londo Bell. Well that and one of their allies was from a family of ninjas. Severus didn't want to see if they could slip him someone nasty in his drink. As a potions master he was well aware of all sorts of things that could be used to poison someone and no one could tell.

Also that who knew what poisons from alien worlds that they would have access to. Things that no one in the Wizarding World would even known to look for.

"You don't have to tell them everything Harry," Dumbledore commented.

"I disagree," Harry stated with a straight face. "They have my complete trust."

Albus Dumbledore was getting really tired of people using that phrase on him. Londo Bell and their allies all seemed delighted in throwing things he said often back in his face as a way to insult him. What disturbed Dumbledore a bit was the fact Slytherins hadn't picked up on it and start using it. The house of cunning seemed to have a great deal of lack of understanding of the backhanded compliment.

One only had to look at their head of house to understand why. Sarcasm was that man's weapon of choice. Severus used it like a surgeon used a scalpel. Or like Hayato Jin and his fingers on the faces of his foes.

Still Dumbledore looked on the bright side. No one had actually tried killing him yet. It wasn't much but it was the best he could take. He also hoped to keep having that bright side for a very long time.

"Plus it is best to have this in the open where they can hear it and won't be left to Hogwarts rumor mill to make up answers," Sanger spoke up.

Hayato Jin then smiled in a very deranged manner at Draco Malfoy. "And that doesn't mean your commentary on any of this is wanted or necessary."

"So keep quiet," Ryoma added sharply.

Ryo looked up from inspecting his gun at Draco. He glared at Malfoy to make it clear he didn't want to hear anything from the pureblood either. Also that he wasn't afraid to shoot Draco if he needed to.

Albus was sure that Hayato Jin or Ryoma Nagare were what Boggarts would turn into for many students. Though those that had to deal with Kai Kitamura as the "Hell Instructor" feared him nearly as much. He just wasn't sure where Ken Kaido and Ryo Magami fit in that list.

Draco shivered in fright and said nothing. Hayato was somewhat bemused at that. Ryoma snorted in bemusement.

"The fact that needs to be done really says a lot," Harry groused loudly.

"No kidding," Ron muttered as he wondered if manners was something the Malfoy family even taught. Ron knew his manners weren't the best, but he also wasn't a member of high society either.

No one asked if that really was necessary as the Malfoy scion was known to run his mouth when he really shouldn't have. A very unSlytherin trait in a long list of them Draco had. It made so many wonder how Draco got sorted into Slytherin so fast and if he really had any traits of the four houses.

Also to wonder if the Sorting Hat was able to answer that sort of question or not. Or if anyone had ever even asked it about that before.

"Now here is the biggest question," Gilliam Yeager stated as he got up. "Why did you sit on your hands on the issue of the Dementors being around Hogwarts?"

Now that was a question Dumbledore didn't want asked in front of the students. Or asked ever to be honest, but it had already been asked of him in more private settings by Londo Bell. Dumbledore knew they won't take deflecting the question as an answer.

"It won't be hard for you to gather parents and officials with family going to this school," Sanger noted. "Nor would it really take much if any political capital."

"More likely to gain it than use any," Gilliam mused. "And it would fit with you being considered a leader of the light."

"And it was an issue where politics and morality were on the same side," Amuro spoke up. "That doesn't happen very often."

"He honestly believes his own press," Canard Pars announced. "Lord of the Light...more like lord of sitting on his butt. With the teachers extremely willing to follow his example."

"I'm sure he takes his own personal safety as serious as he does school security," Kaworu said with slight bemusement. As Dumbledore putting on an object he had to know easily could be cursed to high heaven showed.

"He doesn't gamble at all," Kyosuke stated. "He plays it too safe especially when it comes to people not important for his plans."

"If he considers Harry that then we got problems," Mio remarked.

Dumbledore wondered where Ms. Sasuga got her information. With Major Yeager the man was an intelligence agent and very good at digging for intel. The pilot of Zamzeed just seemed to know things for no reason he could see.

Albus avoided looking into the minds of Londo Bell as he wasn't sure how the minds of a newtype or someone soaked in getter radiation would go. Or if even worse they'd notice. If noticed they'd like shoot first and not ask questions at all.

Or worse ask Sirius and see what he had the defensive side of the mind arts.

Dumbledore had no idea they'd asked Sirius about that already. Or that was planning to start work on that over Christmas break.

"He believes he is the smartest man in the room," Mu la Flaga commented.

"Yes he is the very image of the grandfatherly armchair general," Hayato said with a laugh lacking any real humor to it.

Dumbledore hated being put on the spot like this. The special task force seemed extremely skilled at doing that. Dumbledore frankly was sure his political foes would be envious of that ability. They frankly were unable to catch him this far off guard in a very long time.

"And Professor Lupin told me you just sat on your hands on the matter instead of making actual plans," Harry noted as he glared at Dumbledore. "A man with three positions to work with, a great deal of political sway, and can't use it on a truly insane idea that even those that completely disagree with him would want to get rid of before it could attack their family going to Hogwarts."

Everyone could almost see Dumbledore toppling from the pedestal he had been put on before their very eyes. Especially the man himself who was trying to not react in utter horror.

Albus realized in that moment exactly how doing nothing to deal with the Dementors had cost him greatly. Even Hagrid was shooting him disappointed looks.

Needless to say even by Hagrid standards the half giant was being unsubtle in his expression of how let down he felt in Dumbledore. Which given his adoration for Dumbledore made it all the more startling and disturbing.

"Tell me Hagrid did the Ministry of Magic do anything to make up for throwing you into a hellhole to appear to be doing something?" Gilliam inquired.

"No!" Hagrid bellowed and it sounded more like a growl than a word.

"He really sucks at doing what is right over what is easy," Koji stage whispered. "Some great man he is."

It took all of Dumbledore's self control to not groan at that. He really hoped they won't throw The Greater Good back in his face like the other things he said. Yet somehow he had feeling that would be coming sooner or later.

The attitudes of Londo Bell likely would involve them having a field day on that term and who else used it. They won't be able to stop themselves from pointing out a Dark Lord had used it and likely would dig for information on if the two knew each other.

Information Dumbledore didn't exactly want to come out, but also doubted it would politically kill him even after the Dementor fiasco. What worried him more was them becoming friends with his brother to get embarrassing stories and more. Something Aberforth might do just to annoy him and frankly love every single moment of it.

"So how is the planning of a bloodsport with two other schools going?" Ryoma inquired with a hint of amusement. "After all you might want to try to get someone besides Harry killed here for a change of pace."

There was a stunned silence in the great hall. The staff didn't want the surprise to be spoiled like that, but knew that all the work needed to set up the event was something they were sure Major Yeager would notice and figure out what it was about.

"The Triwizard Tournament is…" Dumbledore started before being cut off.

"An event canceled as far too many died in it," Sanger spoke up. "With you working to get mother dragons with their eggs transported here for the event! Do not claim it will be safer than other tournaments when it clearly will not be!"

"And pretty sure you intend to pick the contestants on Halloween," Harry remarked. "After all why not get me into this as it isn't like that day has proven to be terrible for me...oh wait it has. Repeatedly."

Harry didn't feel like a seer. More like pondering how the staff could completely bollock everything and he'd end up in it. Plus the fact in his son's timeline or whatever he'd ended up in it.

Which of course stopping him ending up in said of event was of course not the plan of Albus Severus and Scorpius. That would actually make sense, and they could get people to attack a weakened Riddle. Can't have a plan that might actually be well thought out, likely to work, and actually do that which they intended to do.

"I assure you this event will be far safer than previous ones," Dumbledore said trying to use his grandfatherly tone. Even he it wasn't going to do much, but hope springs eternal.

"Given the ability to safeguard things the Hogwarts staff has shown we aren't impressed," Tetsuya commented. "Or that in the future a time turner would merely have three riddles as a defense that it will improve in any manner."

"Or keep Harry from being bound by the Goblet of Fire," Gilliam noted. "I doubt Ludo Bagman would do much if that happened as he'd need someone extremely famous to make sure people cared about the bloodsport."

None of the teachers tried correcting them on calling it a bloodsport. Remus agreed with the mecha pilots and the terrible defenses the Hogwarts staff make and on Triwizard Tournament being a bloodsport. He didn't want Harry anywhere near that even if he won't be a champion as some of the tasks had taken out parts of the audience.

"And worse I'd likely be gone by then," Professor Lupin sighed. "And of course they haven't even told me about the Triwizard Tournament so I doubt even they expect me to be around."

"Yes we are well aware Dumbledore and his inability as headmaster to get to work on fixing a clear problem of DADA teachers only lasting a year," Kai Kitamura said as he glared at the colorfully robed man. "It speaks poorly of him to either by himself or delegate to those able to resolve such an obvious problem."

Major Kitamura was getting very tired of the very lax standards of Hogwarts. He won't send his daughter to a boarding school run like this place.

Dumbledore could see no one was stepping up to defend him now. Even Minerva and Hagrid looked more likely to throw him to the wolves than anything.

"Of course I might not last more than a year given the complete and utter disaster I have to clean up," Remus commented sharply. "Lockhart was a complete and utter waste...and the slapdash teaching before him is making job of fixing it insanely difficult."

Snape made a face as he realized the werewolf had a point and teaching DADA like he wanted might be as enjoyable as he would hope. Though instead of dunderhead students it would be some of those dunderheads hired to teach the class. Having to clean up all those messes did not sound like a good time.

Dumbledore was slightly worried as all this was coming out into the open. He didn't expect much to come of this, but it might make his job a bit harder.

"And there is the fact Professor Slughorn is not pleased with how Professor Snape 'teaches' potions," Harry mused with a bit of amusement.

"I believe teaching potions requires more than writing it on the board and snarking the students," Mio commented. "Surprised the Quibbler hasn't listed him as trying to destroy the Wizarding World by lack of people with potions NEWTs."

"That would require it to be on purpose instead of a side effect," Luna spoke up.

Everyone realized both women were being completely serious.

Snape had never felt so insulted in his life. Which given the bad blood he had with the Marauders said a great deal. Yet he tried to not yell at the people that might use that second Great Mazinger to see if his oily hair burst into flames with a Thunder Break.

"Exactly how is Hogwarts such a fine school again?" Gilliam inquired with a razor sharp tone.

No one really had an answer for the intelligence officer. The staff really didn't want to even look him in the eye.

"Hey Ron think your brother Bill could or would know someone if he is busy who could look to see if there really is a curse on the DADA position?" Harry asked.

"I'm pretty sure he can tell us someone else as I think he's really busy," Ron admitted.

"That won't be necessary," Dumbledore called out. "As I am sure Alastor would be happy to look into that."

That actually was the first thing that morning Dumbledore had said that people agreed with as the paranoid Auror likely would have a decent grasp on the various things that could be used to curse a position.

With several of the teachers wondering why it took to now for Dumbledore to do that. Mad Eye wondered why he hadn't been asked to do that years ago.

The mech pilots were not surprised it took forcing Dumbledore to act for him to do that. The man needed to be backed into a corner to get him to react. Which said so much about Dumbledore and it wasn't really good.

"Also we must ask why sending first years into the Forbidden Forest to deal with something killing unicorns was even considered a good idea," Amuro stated.

The great hall was dead silent at that for a moment.

"Well?" Sanger asked sharply.

"We're waiting for the clearly unseen by us reason for that," Seolla nearly growled.

There was no answer from any of the staff.

Even Hagrid knew there wasn't an answer to that question that would go over well with Londo Bell. He was sure their reaction would not be fun and also possibly fatal to him.

Remus Lupin figured this was what they'd do. Though he wondered if anyone had been thinking when they came up with that stupid and dangerous idea for a punishment. Especially given who some of the first years were.

It was like Dumbledore and the staff didn't understand what the term political suicide was.

Dumbledore knew this looked extremely bad for the school. He also knew Londo Bell might bring this up in an even more public forum or around the heads of the other schools for the Triwizard Tournament.

"And there is the question of how Mrs. Weasley really could be a worse teacher than Binns," Harry then commented. "Well beyond Fred and George not wanting her on site or the fact she won't be happy Ron is a volunteer ensign with a mech."

"That's a bit random," Dumbledore mused as that had come out of nowhere.

"Something Ginny and I pondered while in Tokyo 3," Harry admitted. "Also wonder where the money to pay Binns goes."

Everyone taken back and trying to figure out where exactly the money Binns was paid did go. It was a rather interesting question. Even Dumbledore was not really sure. Something that actually showed on the headmaster's face.

Hermione was starting to wonder if anyone knew anything at Hogwarts besides magic. Or related to mecha,martial arts, motorcycles, starships and such for Londo Bell.

'I definitely need to stop trying to fit in so completely here,' Hermione inwardly groaned.

The fact she was learning how little magic was helping made her desire to be something other than a witch that magic was the first and last option for everything. She hated that wizards and witches had utterly no logic or sense. It was something she wished to avoid becoming.

'And when Hayato Jin makes more sense things have gone utterly wrong,' Hermione thought to herself with a shiver of fear.

That was a sign to her that all sense and sanity was long gone. Or worse never had been there in the first place. She was willing to believe everything in the Wizarding World looked like a distorted version of what an eleven year old would have of the mundane world.

'Maybe that's a bit much but it doesn't seem as far off as I'd hope it to be,' Hermione pondered with a shudder of fear.

She also was starting to see the teachers as people instead of pure authority figures. Especially with Professor Dumbledore as he no longer was what a Light Wizard should be to her. He now was just a regular political figure to her. And not a very great political figure at that if she was being completely honest with herself.

Hermione also wondered what Dumbledore's vested interest in Harry was about. He didn't seem to be as involved with any other student at the school, and it was with less reason that Professor Lupin had to be.

"Anyway," Harry stated. "The magical paintings of my family are not happy about how my time at Hogwarts has gone. Or after _that_ Halloween to be honest."

"As anyone sane should be," Remus commented with a slight smirk. "I'd hate to be the person who keeps getting mentioned in those messes. Like the headmaster is probably the one that gets that the most."

Dumbledore inwardly sighed as he knew Remus was not on his side but on that of Harry. He had hoped it won't be the case, but what he wanted wasn't going to happen. Dumbledore also was sure if Major Gilliam Yeager knew already or didn't know he won't care Remus was a werewolf in the slightest.

If anything the only questions would be if he'd transform on the Moon or if he'd transform via full moon of other planets.

"Of course I'd love to see how many parents wouldn't be unhappy if they knew what went on in Hogwarts," Gilliam mused out loud. "Oh the stories I'm sure they'd wonder why they hadn't been told them by the staff and their children."

"Or that we could confirm for them that they really happened," Harry added with a slight look of bemusement.

Dumbledore got very pale as there was a lot of things they didn't want the parents of the students to know. He knew what they would do and wished to avoid that as much he would taking a killing curse.

Ron rubbed his forehead as honestly he was sure that any real oversight would have had Dumbledore fired years ago. And it would have stuck unlike the farce that happened last school year. Ron felt his respect for Dumbledore falling more and more.

It was likely to Ron that by the time he graduated that Dumbledore would be seen as a foolish old man, and elder statesmen in need of being retired.

Harry then smirked. "In fact sir the Potter magical paintings really want to meet you and the rest of the teachers. Though I have a feeling only Professor Lupin will it be for talking about old times or anything remotely pleasant."

No one doubted how the whole heir to Slytherin mess enraged all the paintings at Potter Manor. The handling of that disaster would not sit well with any caring family. They didn't even want to think about the very public murder attempt on Harry in his first year that hadn't been investigated by the aurors.

Snape had a feeling he'd rather get in a fist fight with Canard Pars or Sayla Mass as Lily was not going to be happy in the slightest over what he'd done. The fact he had saved Potter's life would probably be the only thing to tone down Lily's rant to merely completely disgusted with him.

The other teachers wondered what mistakes if any they had made involving Harry Potter. Professor McGonagall knew she was in a very sharp and very pointed conversation from James and Lily.

The Deputy Headmistress was sure that all the members of Londo Bell were enjoying seeing her and the other teachers put on the spot. They had an extremely strong sense of esprit de corps and Minerva had no doubts they considered the Hogwarts teaching staff to have utterly failed Harry repeatedly over the past two school years.

It was a bitter pill to swallow for her, and made her want to keep the course she had started to deal with things in a better fashion. And avoid anything that the disaster like sending first years into the Forbidden Forest for a detention ever again.

'Merlin that could have gone even worse,' Minerva thought to herself.

Harry then realized today was the first Hogsmeade weekend and that Sirius's department store would be ready. It was going to be a lot of fun and he didn't intend for any nonsense the teachers tried to pull to keep him away from it.

He was sure they'd let everyone else go while supposedly keeping him "safe" in the castle. Which if Sirius was the right hand of Riddle like they kept saying was completely untrue as he'd likely go after others beside him. Even if it was merely to get a wand.

'But why do the logical thing and cancel it when they can just single me out again?' Harry thought bitterly as he seemed to be singled out at Hogwarts for too much for his tastes.

Harry was starting to think what Hermione had said about wizards and logic would work better as a motto for Hogwarts than to not tickle a sleeping dragon. At least it would make a lot of sense and not being something blindingly obvious.

"Also I hope you don't try to have me stuck in Hogwarts as my godfather signed my permission form, and I am sure Ryoma and Hayato won't mind dealing with anything that would try to hurt me," Harry commented.

"It'd be fun," Ryoma remarked with a savage smile.

"Hey don't leave me out of the fun," Ken Kaido called out. "I want to scare away people that think Harry is a free sideshow attraction too."

"Plus if I was stuck in Hogwarts for the day I'd see what I can do to help Lowe and Coop," Harry said knowing it'd scare the teachers. "Maybe see if they can build me a Gundam to test out. Or maybe see if they can make something completely new and far more powerful than anything seen before."

Everyone could tell that was a threat, and also a promise. Also that Lowe Gruele and Coop would take up that challenge.

In fact both seemed to be pondering that very challenge. It made everyone in the great hall have a chill go down their spine. Hayato was sure those two were working on breaking the laws of physics.

It also left many wondering who Harry Potter's godfather was exactly. A question that they won't have to wait that long for an answer.

"There is no need to do that Harry," Dumbledore said quickly. "Of course you can go to Hogsmeade today."

Dumbledore did not want to see what Coop and Lowe would create. He also didn't want to see it destroy large portions of the Forbidden Forest as well.

"Good," Harry commented with a wide smirk.

Not that anyone would believe Harry could be kept in the castle given he had an invisibility cloak. If he wanted to leave there was nothing really stopping him. The twins also would aide him with the Marauder's Map as Harry had called their DADA teacher the name of one of the Marauders when in informal settings.

Or if the teachers would even try if he walked out the front door with Ken, Ryo, Hayato and Ryoma. Possibly Octo Squad would be enough to stop them from even trying bother them on the way out. Katina Trasker and Canard Pars had made it clear they won't put up with anyone getting in their way.

Though Harry did also consider Canard a friend, Russel Bagman was the member of Octo Squad that Harry liked the most. Harry just wasn't sure exactly how sane or insane Russel was given how well he got along with Katina.

Which all still was less weird than the relationship Arado and Seolla had.

Ron had a feeling this Hogsmeade weekend was going to be one for the record books. He just hoped it didn't involve an alien invasion. Or the Dinosaur Empire. Or anything related to Devilman.

V-V-V

Harry found it amusing how Hogsmeade felt to him, and how after the Tokyo 3 field trip it didn't have the same luster for some students. A small village couldn't compare to a major city like that.

Harry heard some talk of students wanting to go to London or some other major city next Hogsmeade weekend.

'Though most seem happy to just get away from Hogwarts,' Harry mused and he had no problem with that.

He then saw the new building in town. It was hard to miss as it was much bigger than any of the other buildings in Hogsmeade. There already was a bit of a crowd built up for the grand opening of the Noir Department store.

Harry looked forward to everyone finding out who the owner was. Especially Minister Fudge who it seems was trying to be seen.

Though that wasn't going well as many were unable to hide their disgust at the man having had a great deal of Dementors put around Hogwarts and by extension extremely close to Hogsmeade. That wasn't something the inhabitants of the town were going to forget any time soon.

That Fudge seemed to think that such a thing was possible said so much about him. Really he thought an idea as dangerous as that could be swept under the rug? Especially given how much it annoyed Londo Bell?

Inwardly Harry was a bit annoyed Malfoy Sr. was avoiding this as he really wanted the man to meet Londo Bell. He wanted that man to pay for what he had done to Ginny and unleashing something that could have killed everyone in the school.

It just seemed the man knew that and wished to avoid his well deserved fate. The coward seemed the type to wear a mask to hide who he was when he committed crimes.

It warmed Harry's heart that now he had allies that did more than talk when action was required. And that one day Malfoy Sr. would have to pay for what he'd done. He'd also be forced to pay in full.

He then noticed Luna talking to her father. It seemed he was among the press invited to the grand opening. Harry honestly liked Xeno and hoped the man enjoyed the floor show that was to come. The Quibbler was going to have a lot to write about that was sure.

Harry grinned a bit as the pair then started talking to Yuu Isami about Brain Powerds, Grand Chers, plates, and such. A subject that Harry was sure would make for an interesting issue of the Quibbler.

'I wonder what any magical governments did with plates," Harry inwardly pondered. 'Or any other weird stuff like Re-Tech.' '

He just hoped most of them kept up with the times better than the UK wizarding world did. If they did worse he was sure the statute of secrecy wouldn't have lasted into the modern age.

Ron waved at Harry.

"You know something is going to happen," Ron stated and made clear he wasn't surprised.

"Just enjoy it," Harry remarked with a smirk on his face.

Ron was glad he had enhanced senses as he had a feeling he'd be needing them. Also that a lot of people Harry didn't like weren't going to enjoy the surprise. Which did make Ron feel good.

The doors opened for the store and people seemed to flood in. There were cauldron cakes, cocktail weenies, various kinds of trail mix, Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, water, pumpkin juice, various non pumpkin juices, and butterbeer for free.

"You have fun," Ron said looking at all the free food and drink. "Because I know I am."

"Just don't try to out eat Coop or Koji," Harry told him.

"Ok," Ron called out as he went to get in line for some cauldron cakes.

Harry then snorted as he saw Sirius had for sale his own store brand knock offs of various sodas. He was pretty sure Merlin's Thunder was his version of Doctor Pepper. Harry also made a note to pick up a bottle of it before leaving the store.

It also amused Harry to see pizza crust mix and such were available as well. He looked forward to seeing pizza becoming a favorite among Hogwarts students. He also wondered if Hogwarts would need an insane amount of soda after it caught on. Something he was sure was going to happen and it was going to be fun.

Harry then broke out laughing seeing Malfoy had "bodyguards" to keep him away from others. He wasn't sure what Octo Squad did to get that, but Draco was kept from causing a scene in the store.

Ron found that extremely amusing. He didn't laugh but he did have a huge grin on his face. One that Draco got to see.

Draco hated all the laughs and bemused smiles at his expense. No one respected him, and if anything they considered him nothing more than an annoyance. His father didn't intend to do anything to these people, and it was hard to have people respect you as their better when they'd likely just kill you.

Canard Pars shot Draco a look that made it clear he wanted to be doing this as much as Draco liked having minders. Also that he rather be doing other things than babysit.

Katina just looked like she was keeping from screaming at Draco. She also was unhappy that she had been forced to leave her beater bat back at the castle. She rather liked having it around like it was a swagger stick.

Russel just kept an eye on the other three and hoped they didn't make a mess.

Harry hoped Draco stuck around for later as it was going to be a lot of fun and extremely entertaining.

Ron wasn't surprised at all to see his parents milling about the store. Nor did he believe they were shocked he was looking for even more free samples. Though he hoped Major Zonvolt or Major Kitamura would walk by if they found out he had a Nero. Ron was not afraid to pass the buck on that one.

Molly Weasley saw her youngest son and walked over to him. She almost looked afraid given how insane Hogwarts had become. The worrying part to her was that the special taskforce only seemed to be adding to something that already existed there.

"So what has happened this year?" she inquired in a weary tone. She tried to brace herself for nearly anything to be said by her son.

"Hogwarts can turn into a starship now," Ron admitted. "I've been to space and Tokyo 3 to finish transport of Asuka's mech."

Molly knew her son was leaving out something and Ron obviously was looking around hoping for a military leader to show up. She dreaded what it could be.

It probably was the first time anyone considered Hayato Jin a savior as Ron saw the man come around into the aisle of the maze-like building.

"Oh Mr. Jin I was about to tell my mum about the non-Getter mech I pilot," Ron stated loudly to get the man's attention.

Hayato smirked slightly and Molly slowly backed away from the sociopathic man. She knew what brutal things the man could do with his finger tips and fists.

"He's done pretty well with his trainer mobile suit," Hayato admitted with a bemused tone. "Well beyond getting the attention of someone as ruthless as me while dealing with a space colony being invaded or when a mechasaurus jumped him."

"Why do you people put children in the cockpit of mechs," Molly growled. "Especially you as they strapped you into one with no training."

"Insanity I think plays a big part of it," Hayato commented. "Or they just don't care who gets hurt."

"Well I do care about who gets hurt especially when it is one of my children," Molly snapped. "They should be worrying about school and not what thing from space is going to try to murder them gory ways."

"That would be because you are a caring adult," Hayato noted. "Most of those that stick children in mechs don't care or for some reason the children involved have some unique factor that allows them to pilot it."

"And likely still don't care," Molly groused as Gendo Ikari and those fools in Last Guardian came to mind.

"Pretty much," Hayato said with a chuckle.

"Of course the staff of Hogwarts won't ever tell me something that important," Molly muttered. Her twin sons getting into trouble of course they told her. Her youngest son becoming a volunteer ensign of course was not mentioned.

Ron boggled and looked at his father and saw he was nodding agreement.

Hayato found extremely amusing how Dumbledore had managed to undermine himself with some of his formerly strongest allies. That was not exactly the easiest thing to do in such a short period of time, but the colorfully dressed wizard managed to do it.

"Ron….I am not happy this happened," Molly stated firmly. "However I just hope letting you keep this up won't go badly."

Ron was shocked she was allowing this.

Molly sighed. "I doubt if I said no would stop things now."

Hayato shrugged as that was completely true. They needed to train Ron in his abilities and figure out how he had the abilities of a newtype yet hadn't ever been into space before. They also needed to figure out if there were more people like Ron out there.

They also needed to figure out who else was trying to find them and use them as an army for some purpose like taking over the world. Because when it came to Londo Bell of course someone or some group was going to do that.

She then turned to Hayato. "However I wanted to be informed the instant any of my other children start piloting mechs."

"Though I am surprised you weren't already aware due to that clock you have going to moral peril went Ron got into combat," Hayato commented. "Or perhaps higher."

Ron realized he hadn't even thought about that. And wondered why it hadn't had Ginny's at moral peril the entire last school year. It made Ron wonder how the clock even worked if at all. He was sure Ginny's name was on the thing, and she had that bloody diary for the school year.

'Man that clock isn't useful,' Ron thought. 'Mum is really going to hate that.'

"Now that we know are you going to inform us of these things?" Arthur inquired.

"Pretty much the same amount Harry told you," Hayato replied.

"Ron I want you to be careful," Molly said firmly.

"I'll try Mum," Ron replied.

Molly felt only vaguely mollified by that. Given there were a lot of things that would try to kill her son, and more she was sure even Londo Bell weren't aware of yet. Her son discovering new things to mankind that wanted to kill people or take over the planet definitely made her unhappy.

Hayato nearly laughed.

"And Harry knows something interesting is going to happen here," Ron then told his parents. "Given he didn't bring his Rezel or tell me to be ready to run for my Nero I think it won't involve being attacked."

"Nero isn't the shortened version of a long name like Harry's mobile suit has is it?" Arthur inquired as he remembered it stood for a bunch of words. He could see why they went with Rezel as the name for it over the full title.

"It actually is called the Nero," Ron explained. "And they also painted it Cannons orange for me."

Ron's parents doubted any famous mech pilot had their mech that color. Yet anyway as they were sure Ron was going to become famous being part of Londo Bell. Though they weren't exactly sure what kind of fans he'd have.

Arthur and Molly weren't sure how to take their youngest becoming known in the muggle world and fight things that made You-Know-Who look small time. The only thing they were sure on is that standing out from his siblings had made Ron a lot more level headed and even tempered.

They just hoped next time they talked to a commanding officer of their son it wasn't the one who literally was a sociopath. Perhaps Major Kitamura could be who they talked to next time as having a fellow parent would hopefully make things a bit easier.

A massive mirror in the center of the store then changed into what appeared to be a study. And then to shock of everyone Sirius Black walked into "frame".

Not that many could tell he was Sirius Black as he didn't look like the wanted pictures. The time aboard the Macbeth and then living in Riksent done a great deal to help him recover. He still had a long way to go, but he'd gotten medical treatment and been able to eat well.

He also instead of the tattered prison garb was dressed in business casual. Sirius found the term a bit of an oxymoron, but he thought that sort of clothing made him look good.

"Greetings," Sirius said in a mirthful tone. "Welcome to my department store and understand why I couldn't make a personal appearance at the grand opening."

Fudge nearly choked on the butterbear he had been drinking. He wasn't the only one as others realized who was talking to them.

"I am Sirius Black and I was sent to hell without a trial," Sirius then stated sharply. "So keep that in mind along with the fact a blasting hex blowing up a gas line would leave more than a cleanly cut off finger."

Sirius waited for the gasps and shouts to stop. He had plenty of time to take a sip of water before everyone finished. He also also sure that aurors were trying to place where he could be.

"Also the Riksent ambassador is going to want to have some words with you Fudge," Sirius commented. "And the head of international cooperation. Barty is going to be in the hot seat for sending me to hell without a trial."

Fudge's mouth opened and closed but no sound came out. It was something many had wish had have happen to the man.

"Also the he I had been referring to was not my godson Harry Potter," Sirius stated. "It was my supposedly dead former friend. Who Londo Bell took into custody and who knows where Peter is now."

Sirius waited for the crowd to die down again. It allowed him time to take another sip of water. He left out eating popcorn as he was sure that would be better for viewing everything later.

"He was the Secret Keeper as I felt I was too obvious," Sirius stated.

He then took on a haunted look as he said "We really should have gone with James or Lily as it."

The department store was dead quiet.

Sirius then cheered up a bit and grinned widely.

No one was sure what he was going to do. Or what insanity would be be unleashed given they knew Sirius Black loved to pull pranks.

"Refined Zeta Gundam Escort Leader," Sirius called out and was sure some toxic green quills just exploded.

The cries he heard made it clear that did happen. It was music to his ears. Who knew the things couldn't take a series of words that it didn't know how to twist? It made Sirius want to look up other terms to yell out that also caused that.

"So anyway everyone enjoy shopping and please try the pizza, sandwiches, pasta, sodas, and more in the in store pizzeria," Sirius stated to promote what he hoped to become a major Hogsmeade weekend hang out for the students.

Harry wondered what mess would be bigger. The political one Sirius just started or all the people that dropped drinks and food on the floor of the store. Harry hoped Ron's abilities helped him avoid stepping in the messes in the aisles.

Volunteer Ensign Potter was sure that Sirius had just sent created a great deal of shockwaves and that the Ministry of Magic would be busy for months. He just hoped they really didn't cause a lot of problems for Riksent. Unless they wanted to learn what the SRX team was and how to annoy them was a bad idea.

'And finally it isn't a mess that I have to get directly involved in,' Harry thought with relief. He was so tired of having that happen to him.

Now it was fighting aliens, monsters, and more using a mech along side Londo Bell. Which Harry liked a lot more as now he had loyal allies, more friends, and a steady opinion shared of him. Having someone able to watch his six in a fight was really helpful.

'Now to avoid giving Hermione grey hairs,' Harry mused. 'I hope that is possible.'

Though he wasn't holding his breath on that. He was sure that he was going to fight some more insane stuff before this year was over. Though he'd have his allies at his side instead of having to do everything with his friends as the 'adults' would be useless or get in the way.

Also in all honestly Harry was dreading what Halloween was going to be like this year. There was no way it won't be completely and utterly insane. Or not be extremely dangerous. The only question was merely for himself or for the entire world or the entire Solar System.

Little did Harry know what was brewing was going to be beyond even his expectations with one of the most dangerous warriors in the Solar System taking part against Londo Bell.

V-V-V

The fact that Yuu Isani missed his grandmother reassured some people. It meant that Yuu hadn't gone completely crazy like some Reclaimers had. Yuu's sister being on the top of that extremely long list.

There also was information his mother had left on plates and such that he could find and access which had been left hidden where he had spent the first ten years of his life. So he had business and pleasure to visit his grandmother's home.

However Yuu really didn't want Londo Bell stomping around his grandmother's home and farm. Or aliens or Dinosaur Empire trying to blow it up. Or Coop anywhere near it for any reason at all. Who knows what Coop would attract and frankly Yuu didn't want to find out firsthand.

He had to figure out a way to get closer than Scotland and for the the others to be kept busy. He wanted them to stay far out of the way.

Yuu had no idea that Hayato Jin of all people would provide him with the perfect excuse for both as he'd managed to gather three pilots for his plasma powered Getter.

Yuu saw the use of getter rays and extremely rough on the human body mecha as something completely unrelated to Brains, Grand Chers and the biotech they were made of. It was interesting in its own right, but it wasn't the things he knew best.

Yuu wondered if his grandmother would believe him about magic being real and that he'd seen a lot of things just as weird with Londo Bell. Also that his sister did not answer to her birth name now, and her...boyfriend...was the son of the captain of the Novis Noah.

'My life has been weird ever since leaving grandmother's home,' Yuu mused.

He only took working with Londo Bell due to making his job to fight the Reclaimers a lot easier.

Thankfully Yuu never said that outloud to Mio as she'd just laugh. Major Yeager would give him a bemused look at that.

It was true being a part of Londo Bell had made it so he didn't need to sneak into research labs working on plates and such. However these people were willing to celebrate his birthday and more friendly than the Reclaimers by a wide margin. They also for the most part were sane. Certain mech pilots who got the job due to physically surviving piloting being the exception and not the rule.

Orphan seemed to call out of people with a lot of psychological issues. Some joked as a bioship it also needed therapy. They had no idea how correct that theory was.

Though what worried Yuu was the sheer amount of other threats to the Earth he'd seen since working with Londo Bell. It was kind of crazy to him for Orphan to be a looming threat with so many others.

Also Yuu was kind of freaked out that an empire of killer robots from outer space already happened once before.

'That is not something that should happen once,' Yuu thought to himself. 'Let alone happen more than once.'

Yuu then focused as he knew he had to keep working on dealing with the Reclaimers and Orphan. Someone had to keep them in mind as so many other distractions and world ending threats came up.

Yuu was not so blinded on the issue of Orphan to deny that other threats like when that massive floating island nearly slammed into the Earth would be just as bad as Orphan taking off from the Earth.

He also realized he could tell Major Gilliam and Captain Bright Noa the truth of there being research information that would prove valuable to Londo Bell on the biotech of Grand Chers and such. Also that it was in a location he would have access to and the owners of it won't mind him showing up at all.

Having a plan in place, Yuu was sure that large scale warfare won't be a problem while he did his task.

He also wondered what the he'd miss out on doing this.

V-V-V

Harry looked at the long mega buster that his Rezel was armed with. It was something Delta Pluses used and came from an improved Hyaku Shiki prototype. Harry wondered where that Hyaku Shiki was. He figured it should be in the workshop along with everything else.

Of course the long mega buster Harry had was one that Coop and Lowe had upgraded. Which made Harry smile as that meant it was going to be even more powerful than the regular version. He just hoped he won't accidently blow up a starship in a single shot.

He also wondered where exactly it would attach to the waverider form of his Rezel. Though he was sure Coop and Lowe had already worked that out.

Harry also had a feeling he'd need it for the the showing off Hayato's plasma powered Getter.

'Not sure if the Dinosaur Empire or someone else will crash this party,' Harry pondered but he felt it was better to be playing it safe.

When you worked with Londo Bell you got a sixth sense for certain things that really attracted people that wanted to kill you. Or that some people seemed to enjoy crashing events where mecha got showed off for the first time.

Harry was sure that Celestial Being still was regretting trying to crash a mass produced mobile suit being shown off when Coop was in attendance.

'Their mecha never has done well fighting Megas,' Harry thought to himself with amusement.

Harry then looked at the repainted black Great Mazinger and Getter from the Moon Wars. It felt weird to him that no one was the pilots of them yet. Especially given it had been several fights since they were put in this workshop.

'Though the Getters are brutal on the human body,' Harry mused.

Reportedly for most people using a Getter jet was like using a meat grinder on their body. Even coordinators found the experience really painful and extremely uncomfortable. Given their enhanced bodies were much more durable than that of a normal person said a lot.

Harry then wondered who Hayato Jin got to pilot that Getter of his. And if there was going to be someone he also got for piloting the black Getter.

He then noticed the seeker for the Hufflepuffs team looking at the various mecha in the massive workshop in awe.

Harry struggled to remember his name and if he was an arse last year. Harry didn't want to interact with those people unless he was forced to. If anything he wished to see if they got his not wanting to deal with them was him not forgetting.

Harry didn't have very high hopes for any Hogwarts student to get that.

"Oh hello Cedric," Luna said as she came out from behind the Doven Wolf that was being upgraded into what they called a Silver Bullet.

"Oh hey Luna," Cedric Diggory replied. "You as amazed at all this as I am?"

"It is something alright," Luna agreed.

"Surprised Mr. Weasley isn't camped out here," Cedric mused as he looked over the various mecha in the workshop/classroom once more.

Luna smiled slightly. "Oh Harry helped him learn about all this and phonetically wrote how to pronounce words like electricity, radiation, and others."

"And probably the names of a lot of alien species," Cedric commented.

"Such as Zentradi," Luna noted.

"Aren't those the really big aliens?" Cedric asked as his eyes widened.

Luna nodded.

"Oh Merlin," Cedric muttered and then noticed Harry was next to his red mobile suit that the full name was hard on dictation quills.

Cedric also noticed that Harry still had that one weapon he shot the limb off a Dementor with holstered on his chest. Not that he blamed Harry after all that had gone down even before having that weapon nor wanting to keep it close at hand.

"It is alright Harry," Luna told him gently.

"If you say so Luna," Harry said after a moment.

"The whole he can speak snakes mess?" Cedric asked Luna.

Luna nodded. "Harry is not forgetting what happened to him thanks to that."

"That was a mess," Cedric muttered.

"And yet another bit of proof to me the teachers at Hogwarts can't do anything right," Harry commented. "Actually being useful is beyond their abilities. Or not trying to get me killed."

Cedric wasn't going to deny that Harry lacked a good reason to feel that way. He did wonder why anyone would believe that Harry Potter would turn the other cheek over and over. It didn't make any sense. He won't do something like that at all.

"And then there was the things some in Luna's own house did to her," Harry sighed. "Proving booksmart doesn't mean mature by any means."

Cedric sighed. "Yeah this place isn't as magical as when you first see it from the boat is it?"

"Not at all," Harry said sharply. "And sorry if you think I'm taking it out on you."

Cedric waved it off. He wasn't going to take Harry being jaded for good reason personally.

"Everyone felt you had been raised in multiple magical castles, had incredible adventures, saved pureblood girls while riding a dragon, and basically things I don't think that ever happened," Cedric commented.

"Definitely didn't happen," Harry remarked. "Also if you sent me fan mail I still am trying to figure out where it went. Not sure if I want Hayato to beat that information out of Dumbledore or not."

Cedric made a face as he still had some measure respect for the old wizard, and knew that Hayato Jin would literally beat Dumbledore until he told the truth. It bothered Cedric such a thing would be necessary.

"I'm sure he knows exactly where all the fan mail and gifts and such are," Harry groaned. "But of course he won't tell where they are as that would allow me to have some measure of control over my public image and learn about things he can't be arsed to inform me of."

Cedric considered it answered on the question if Dumbledore was teaching Harry politics and how to deal with the public. It was a very loud no. It sickened the sixth year student and made him wonder who else Dumbledore had let down.

The old wizard certainly wasn't seen as all that was good and light by Cedric anymore. If anything he seemed to be nothing than just an old politician.

"So anyone figure out where Riksent is?" Harry then asked Luna.

She smiled slightly. "Oh they're working on it, and haven't figured out the princess of that land considers a member of the SRX team a noble hero."

"Or that his older brother is wearing sunglasses?" Harry inquired.

"Does that actually work as a disguise?" Cedric asked.

"Only for Casval Rem Deikun," Luna replied.

"Not sure what Char is doing, but he's the only famous pilot I haven't met in person," Harry admitted. "Saw him in his mobile suit against the Dinosaur Empire once but didn't have a chance to talk to him afterwards."

"Harry before your...summer of madness..I don't think most of the students here knew what dinosaurs were," Cedric noted. "Or Meganoids or Eldoran."

"They are all quite interesting," Luna stated.

"And I didn't know what the Veela were before meeting one in the ODE Incident," Harry commented.

That incident was one Harry wondered if the ICW would even admit happened given even magic users got taken. Though Harry had to admit it might require some members of the ICW explained what had happened and it'd take them quite some time.

"Isn't that why that one pilot was stuck with Londo Bell?" Cedric questioned.

Harry nodded.

"Asuka unsettled many purebloods as she already had a college degree," Luna mused. "Plus her personality and not taking any dragon dung from them. Just not quite as violently as the head of Octo Squad."

Harry snorted as Asuka was hard to deal with unless she liked you. Something many in Hogwarts learned at their own peril. He was sure that many students were never going to forget the Second Child.

Harry had no issues with Katina Tarask and she pretty much left him alone. It worked extremely well and he liked it that way. Russel and Canard were the ones he interacted with on Octo Squad.

"A lot of people are glad she's gone to Tokyo 3," Cedric admitted. "And wish Lt. Tarask went with her."

"I just hope she isn't too hard on Shinji," Harry sighed. "He doesn't exactly have a strong and outgoing personality."

"Or a sociopath able to kill her if she goes too far," Luna stated. "Frankly there are some girls having to meet Ryoma might teach them manners."

"That's kind of scary," Harry admitted.

He then looked at the Zorin Soul. Mu was going to test out this prototype and Harry wondered if Ron's newtype abilities would work for a Psycommu Interface or a Psycoframe.

It was something he was sure everyone was going to test at some point. It also made Harry happy that his best friend had that thing that made him unique from his siblings. Even though it involved being the vanguard for defending the Terran League from threats.

Cedric looked up at the black painted Getter. " I wonder what the pilot of that will be."

"I'm sure Professor Saotome and Hayato are working on that," Harry commented. "And likely surprised a museum owner got it working again."

"So what happened to that previous owner?" Cedric inquired.

"He tried to fight far more advanced mobile suits with it," Harry said with a sour expression. "Along with the Getter being more than he could physically handle."

Cedric doubted it was very...clean or painless. It also made him not want to ever pilot that mech. Or any Getters for that matter. He doubted he was in the right sort of physical shape to survive it.

"The weird part was that the son of an inventor of a biosensor had to deal with...the time travelers," Harry said with the last part a groan.

"Yes the plan to embarrass Cedric next year to make him look bad," Luna noted.

Cedric had a rather angry expression at that. He hated being made a fool of by anyone. He'd get back at everyone who laughed one way or another. No matter what he had to do to make that happen. It was not one of his better traits but he didn't deny it existed.

"And worse one of those three is my son," Harry groused. "And I thought I had crappy plans, but I am Captain Noa compared to Al."

"Wow…." Cedric stated.

"Of course it was more a guideline than a hard plan," Luna noted.

"So they had embarrassing me as a vague idea?!" Cedric said in shock and anger.

"When I talked to them they didn't even admit to having that much," Harry grumbled.

"Merlin," Cedric muttered.

"So what is the process on dealing with stupid time travelers?" Harry inquired.

Luna laughed. Harry took that as a really bad sign.

"I'll take that as no one has any real rules set up," Harry groaned.

"You get into the weirdest things Harry," Cedric admitted.

"It isn't so bad when I got people that have equally strange days," Harry shrugged. "Also they figured out Hermione is using a time turner to take all the classes rather easily."

"And consider bending time and space for that to be pretty much a foolish idea," Luna noted.

Cedric groaned and rubbed his forehead. They gave a student a time turner for something so completely pointless?! Why?! What in Merlin's name made that ever seem like a good idea to anyone that could get a time turner?

"Yeah," Harry sighed. "You got any idea if this was the sort of things being done at Hogwarts before I got here?"

"If it was they didn't tell me about it," Cedric groused.

That made Harry wonder once more what having Londo Bell around to cut down the insanity said about Hogwarts. Or that any effective oversight before them was a complete and utter joke.

Then again such oversight had as its head a man who tried to kill Hogwarts students and not punished for his actions. Harry was not going to forget about that nor forget about it.

Harry still was surprised the grandson of that man had traveled through time to try to deal with the sins of his family. But if it was true that was a good thing.

There also was the surprise that in the future he'd become demanding and paranoid. Harry really didn't like he could think of ordering the head of Hogwarts to make sure his kids stayed away from Malfoy's kids. That was rather petty and the head of Hogwarts would have more important things to do than that.

"Why would they tell you?" Harry commented sarcastically. "You might tell your parents and they might tell someone that would give a shite about what happens in Hogwarts and the safety of the student body."

"The scary thing is I actually can see that being the case," Cedric stated as his blood ran cold.

"I had plenty of time over the summer to think about what had happened to me at Hogwarts," Harry said with a sharp expression. "This place became more and more disturbing and insane."

"And given that howler I don't think you got any disagreement from the magical paintings of your family," Cedric noted.

Harry smiled slight. "Oh you have no idea how great it felt to have even that reflection of my parents exist and agree with me on various things."

Cedric realized exactly what Boy-Who-Lived meant. As in Harry's parents hadn't. Also that even worse there was a bit celebration the day that Harry's parents died. That was kind of morbid and Cedric would understand if Harry avoided those feasts now. He definitely would if something like that had happened to him.

Hogwarts then shook once more and all three of them knew that everyone was going to see the test of Hayato's Getter firsthand. Something Harry figured was going to be quite the show and quite amusing.

Harry wondered if Fleur would be able to make it for that. He'd love to see her again. She seemed nice and her ability to turn into a bird and throw fireballs was just par for the course when it came to Londo Bell. Which probably was why he fit in so well with the team as that was what things were like for him as well.

He just wasn't sure if she'd be able to leave her school for mecha related things. After all her school hadn't been more or less taken over by Londo Bell. Sirius had mentioned that school was a decent one.

Harry chuckled realizing Hogwarts now was Hogwarts School of Magic and Mecha combat. Now he just had to make the name change official and always call it that around the professors.

V-V-V

Gai Daido was not a wild and hot blooded man by nature. The mechanic for Getter machines was a bit surprised that he had been asked by Hayato Jin to be a pilot over someone with previous training.

Lt. Yamachu, who was supposed to be the pilot of the third Getter jet, was livid. Of all the people to take his position this was one of the worst. It wasn't even a martial artist or mech pilot!

"I get replaced with the Getter Lover?!" he snapped using the nickname people called Gai for being so into working on the Getters.

The nickname was not a compliment. Gai tried to not let it get to him.

The hotshot Variable Fighter pilot then slowly backed away from Hayato Jin.

"If he can survive piloting it then yes," Hayato remarked. "Having one of the mechanics who knows the machine nearly as well as I do as a pilot is a good thing."

Gai Daido stared at Hayato Jin for complimenting him like that.

Kota Yamachu had whatever he say die in his mouth as Hayato smiled savagely at him.

"And as for you I'm not sure you are stable to pilot a Getter," Hayato remarked. "And given they gave me one has to tell you exactly how bad that is."

That was definitely the last thing Kota wanted to be told. He if anything looked even more furious than before.

"Sit. Down," Hayato ordered and Kota found himself doing so.

"Consider yourself taken off Getter duty, but likely to get to use a VF-25G Messiah as part of Londo Bell," Hayato remarked.

"I'm too unstable for a Getter but stable enough for Londo Bell?!" Kota asked confused.

"Londo Bell, Preventers, League Militaire, Green Falcon Squad...all the same thing to me," Hayato said with a shrug. "I have to work with all of them."

Kota really hoped to avoid being part of the last one. He didn't want to be a redshirt! He didn't want to die before even knowing what hit him.

Hayato was sure the mech pilot would have other things to worry about. There were far more important things than what unit he ended up in. Such as hoping his choices managed to survive piloting a Getter.

Hayato then snorted seeing Yuu Brain take off from Hogwarts. He didn't mind if Yuu missed the test. Plus Banjo had something in place to keep track of Yuu if he went off alone. Banjo also was the one to deal with Poncho afterward.

V-V-V

Yuu was shocked how unchanged the village was. It had the same rustic feeling he remembered, and had experienced in Hogsmeade.

Though he saw someone he didn't expect to see here driving around. Someone who definitely wasn't from around here.

"Kanan?!" he called out in surprise.

She literally came to stop and got off her ride.

"Yuu what are you...please tell me _he_ is not here," Kanan stated.

"You have to more specific," Yuu sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Ryoma Nagare? Hayato Jin? Ken Kaido? Coop?"

"The last one," Kanan remarked. "He is frightening. So much chaos and destruction in his wake."

"He's not so bad when you meet him in person," Yuu assured her. "He also helped me celebrate my birthday...which is more than my family planned."

"Is that something so important to you to leave the Reclaimers?" Kanan asked sharply.

"My parents cared nothing for me or my sister," Yuu snapped. "Or even their own relationship beyond a business level going by the psyche profiles Londo Bell has of the Reclaimers."

Kanan took on a hurt expression. "Then you know…"

"That pretty much everyone in the Reclaimers has their issues?" Yuu said softly. "Yeah I got that part loud and clear."

"It is the only place I have ever belonged," Kanan whispered.

"Londo Bell really doesn't turn people away," Yuu told her gently. "And I want you to avoid what Jonathan is going to get if keeps fighting the Getter team."

Kanan was at war with wanting to belong and the fact that piloting a Grand Cher had frankly made her feel ill. That it just didn't feel right to her.

She also hoped he didn't have the Getter team or such with him. Getting murdered by Hayato Jin was not her idea of a good time. Or even meeting that man in public was something she wished to avoid.

Yuu wondered who else was with Kanan. He doubted any of them would want to see him let alone not shoot at him.

Kanan picked up her smartphone.

"Get moving Yuu," Kanan stated sharply. "M.D. would love to kill you and prove himself worthy and all that jazz."

"Kanan…" Yuu said and saw her using the touch screen.

Yuu didn't feel this was over. He could get Kanan to leave Orphan one day. It just wasn't going to be today it seemed.

Still he had hope one day she would understand and get out of there before Londo Bell invaded Orphan. There was no way in Yuu's mind that the taskforce would not be the vanguard force to fight the Reclaimers.

V-V-V

Mekibos had a really bad feeling as he came to the meeting room. Even more than usual since coming to the Solar System.

Which given he was afraid his brother might try to kill him said a great deal.

"I swear everyone is coming here," Aquija muttered. "The Gulfer Empire, Radam, and Killer the Butcher are one lethal mix."

"I still believe that humanity will kill itself long before those two and more do," Wendolo assured them. "After all the Muge Empire was unable to do so."

"Anyone have any idea what that thing they are calling Orphan is?" Mekibos inquired as frankly the information about it was fragmented and not a lot of it made much sense.

The silence on that was taken as a no.

Aquija wondered how things unknown to even them ended up in this star system. The Zuvorg Alliance might not know everything, but they had a very strong grasp on what roamed the galaxy.

Sikalog brought up footage of Detonators in the Solar System and only the first one who had been chased by a starship full of them survived the encounter with Londo Bell.

"So we going to let just them do it?" Vigagi asked. "I mean they'd solve our problems just by being themselves and smashing everything."

"Doubt they'd be enough," Wendolo commented and shook his head.

"So what is the plan?" Aquija inquired.

"The apes are showing off a new mech created by a sociopathic murderer," Wendolo stated. "We can crush Londo Bell there and get the biggest threat to us out of the way."

Mekibos honestly wondered if his little brother was telling the truth on that mech designer or not. The part disgusted and revolted him was if that Hayato Jin was that way and born in the Zuvorg Alliance he might be working with them.

That Vigagi, Aquija, and very likely Sikalog were completely behind Wendolo's plans made Mekibos wonder if they really understood or cared they were acting just like those they felt beneath them.

Mebikos wasn't sure if he wanted to thank or curse Professor Denton for showing him sides of his allies he hadn't seen or ignored. He hated seeing it, but it also might be what allows him to avoid being killed by his brother.

He also wondered if that spy would arrive in time before this all ended one way or another. Her help and record of all this would be vital.

V-V-V

Harry was shocked to see he knew one of the pilots for Hayato's Getter. He had met her in Riksent during the invasion by Doctor Hell. She'd kept busy some of the killer androids that were after him.

Harry then realized he'd thought of that and it didn't seem weird to him. He heard that when you thought about or talked the insane things Londo Bell faced like it was normal you had made it. And also might might be considered insane by several psychologists.

Ron was surprised to see Cedric deck Albus Severus and Scorpius. The pair went down easily and thankfully for them Cedric did not put his foot on the throat of either of them.

"But we wanted to save you," Albus groaned on the ground.

"Try having a workable plan instead of dragon dung then," Cedric remarked coldly as he glared at the pair.

Harry groaned as it seemed that Albus and Scorpius didn't seem to believe Cedric could have this vindictive side to his personality. That Cedric was all sweetness and light or something.

Those two really had no idea what they were doing and Harry frankly was wondering how the final member of their "trio" expected them to not completely screw up her plans by accident and their own foolishness.

"Still surprised they haven't been put in a Getter," Neville muttered.

Harry was enjoying the fruits of his and Londo Bell's labors to teach purebloods how to tell types of giant robots apart. It was a small thing but at least they were learning something equally as important as most lessons in Hogwarts.

Harry knew he was being bitter and pessimistic on the quality of Hogwarts curriculum. However it didn't help to find out things like a magical interactive map of the school, learning to how to be an animagus, and such were things his father and his friends did in their free time.

It made Harry wonder if they turned to pranks to have something challenging to do. He resolved to ask Sirius or Remus about it later. It was something they could answer when they had a chance to chat. Harry was sure that it would be an interesting and enlightening conversation. He also was sure that it'd make him wonder what impressive stuff fully trained magic users could make.

The Getter jets then launched into the air. Given the pilots hadn't crashed meant they could handle the g-forces at least. There had been people that hadn't made it even that far.

Then alarms sounded. Over the Saotome Research Labs was a swarm of giant metal bees.

Gilliam shrugged as everyone turned to him to see if he had any idea who was attacking as they had never seen this before.

"That is never a good sign," Excellen muttered.

"I just hope this isn't bad as that time we had to fight newtype monkeys in legless Zakus," Sayla groaned.

Harry didn't even want to ask.

Mu wondered if he wanted to use the Zorin Soul or his Rezel Commander Type for this. Given he had never used anything with the psychoframe or psychocommu he didn't want to learn how on the fly.

Amuro had told Mu about how overly responsive the controls for Nu Gundam had been at the start. That was not something they needed while facing an unknown enemy. That sort of raw and uncontrolled reactions could get someone killed.

'Rezel it is then,' Mu thought to himself.

In Getter Go One Go Ichimonji wondered what he'd gotten into. He had this gut feeling something working with Hayato Jin would get him dragged into weird crap. Yet giant metal bees attacking was not what he expected.

"That's...new…" Sho Tachibana muttered as she wasn't sure what to make of this.

Energy blasts came out of the mouth region of the bees.

"Is that supposed to do something beyond scratch the paint?" Ken Kaido remarked as that was basically all the damage a barrage of those lasers did to Mazinkaiser SKL.

Ron found how easy to destroy the invaders were when a rapid fire burst from his beam rifle took down several of the bees.

Volunteer Ensign Weasley then had the amusing thought of whoever made those things found and ordered to make the bees to use as training dummies.

"Combine and take them down," Hayato ordered.

"Merging to form second form," Sho stated.

"Let's swat some bugs!" Go called out eagerly.

The Getter Robo Go then came together with seeming to most to be a textbook perfect merger. Though the pilots in Shin Getter had a more experienced eye and opinion on it.

"They got to shave at least two seconds off that," Ryoma commented to Hayato.

"It is their first time," Hayato noted. "I'll work on that after this."

Getter Robo Sho then fired missiles from the chest area.

The Mazinger Angels literally groaned seeing that and Hayato nearly could feel Sayla Mass staring at him. It wasn't the best sensation as he knew that Sayla was not gentle when she something got in her way or got on her bad side.

"Hayato we are going to have a talk about you imitating that," Sayla said in a sub zero tone as she smashed one of the metal bees with her Gundam's fist.

She then unloaded on a large part of the swarm with the wrist mounted beam spray gun on the other arm.

"It seems even more impressive Amuro survived past the honeymoon stage of newtypes feeling each other with their powers," Wind remarked as he sliced through the metal bees with a beam saber.

Amuro wasn't sure what the correct response to that was.

Harry enjoyed not being the center of attention and managing to blow up several bees in one shot with his long mega buster. He also noticed he could control the power of the particle beam fired by the weapon.

Harry wondered if having a variable power setting for a beam weapon would catch on. It was useful after all.

"Those bugs are fragile," Kaworu remarked as he cut them up using the dual chainsaw of his Evangelion. He really hoped this changed the subject.

"Still fun the break though," Mari commented with a deranged smile on her face as she sliced them with a prog knife.

"This isn't a prank is it?" Koji asked as he devastated a swam of the bees with a Rust Hurricane.

"It isn't a prank," Gilliam replied as he took a metal bee with a shotgun.

"They will wish it was by the time we are through with these," Sanger remarked as he sliced through many of the metal bees.

Getter Robo Go changed forms and Go managed to fire off the fists at the bees. Something that got Hayato to have the feeling the pilot of Great Mazinger now was glaring at him.

"Are you trying to rip off our mecha Jin?" Tetsuya asked in a very dangerous tone.

If it had just been the rocket fist attack Tetsuya won't have been bothered at all as many units had that. It was that and the breast missile attack that was making him for less charitable. He also wasn't sure he liked it any more than seeing those..mercenaries….in copies of Great.

"I just figured I might as well include that," Hayato said with a shrug.

Megas then struck the remaining bees with what looked like a tennis racket sparking with electrical energy on the strings. There was a loud pop each bee was hit.

Then five mecha appeared and one of them was the dragon mech that had shown up doing the first battle with the Angels.

What wasn't expected was Duke Fleed looking completely livid and Grendizer ready to charge into battle against them.

"Them," Duke Fleed said sharply. "How disgusting yet unsurprising."

"You know who they are?" Ron asked as he had no idea who any of them were. Even with this powers he couldn't kept track of every mech out there.

"Oh yes they are part of why the Zuvorg Alliance is respected to only a certain degree as their senate allows a band of degenerate thugs to determine if a society will be a threat to galactic peace."

"What galactic peace and why didn't they deal with the Galra Empire a long time ago?" Harry asked sharply. "Or the Bunker."

"A question I also would like the answer for," Duke Fleed replied. "Along with various other things that they should have gotten involved in but didn't."

"And a Fleedian dragged down among the apes," Wendolo remarked.

"The words of a savage child that is like the worse of those he complains about holds no value to me!" Duke Fleed called out.

Harry realized the one in the dragon mech could have talked to them, but didn't. Plus he was sure the arse in that mech likely would sound like space Malfoy if he had. And he wondered what Malfoy would do finding out people from space looked down on him like he looked down on those without magical parents.

The Galgau then got nailed with a Space Thunder from Grendizer. The massive dragon like mech staggered at that. Russel's green Gespenst then blasted one of the optics of the mech.

"Hey anyone tell you that your mechs are ugly?" Ryoma commented.

The barrage of firepower made it clear exactly what they felt of Ryoma's opinion.

Kaworu nearly groaned. Of course that lillium would say something like that to the space thugs. Thugs that if they waited a bit he or his brothers would remove humanity from the Earth.

'Everyone is in such a hurry over this planet,' Kaworu thought to himself.

Kaworu then grunted in annoyance as the Silverwind struck his Evangelion and he felt the pain from the hit.

The Drukin got a barrage of autocannon fire from the Alt Eisen. It easily took that fire. The power of a Double Thunder Break from Great Mazinger not so much as Tetsuya turned the Drukin's hammer into a lightning rod.

"Sikalog!" Aquija called out.

Mazinkaiser SKL unleashed a barrage of fire on the Galgua. The massive dragon took it easily. Then Megas picked up the mech by the tail and started spinning it around. From the frantic motions of the Galgua it was clear no one had ever tried doing that before.

"Put me down you savage!" Vigagi yelled.

"Sure," Coop said with a grin.

Megas let go and the Silverwind barely got out of the way. The only problem was the Silverwind got blasted by the Rezel Commander Type's mega beam launcher.

Ron also nailed the Silverwind with one of the beam cannons his Nero had on the shoulder bindings.

Aguija and Sikalog were not pleased with anyone being able to hit the speed demon that was the Silverwind. They had no idea they were facing psychics able to tell where the Inspector mech was going to be, and that made Silverwind's great speed not really that helpful.

Then suddenly the Cybuster flew in and unleashed a barrage at missiles on the Silverwind. The one legged alien mecha did its best to avoid being hit.

It wasn't easy as Amuro was able to nail the Silverwind with the massive hyper mega rifle. The alien mech nearly crashed into the ground.

"Where did he come from?" Go asked in shock as Masaki Andoh was infamous for being able to get lost, but he didn't think it was quite like that.

"Even he wouldn't know," Hayato replied.

"Stay frosty," Mio commented as she launched a barrage of punches at Dikastes. After the final punch she gave the Graterkin a thumbs up.

Mekibos wondered what that was about. He then had to avoid flying blades of Grendizer.

'Somehow the Fleedians being disgusted at the unit shouldn't surprise me,' Mekibos thought to himself. 'They never did like the idea of the Zuvorg Alliance trying to be the moral police of the galaxy.'

Mekibos then realized that lost track of the Tekkaman that somehow was working with the humans. Which was a really bad thing to do as his mech nearly lost its head to Blade's lance.

Mekibos could not understand why one of the Radam's servants would even bother trying to work with those not altered. Such tactics were not ones they ever used. They believed in overwhelming firepower.

The next problem Mekibos had was red and orange pair of mobile suits that worked really well together.

It felt good to Ron to be able to fight at Harry's side and kick some alien arse.

The Dikastes fired off missiles and knocked Shin Getter off its feet. Wendolo nearly frowned as the powerful mech got off the ground like it was nothing.

"Not used to dealing with people able to fight back?" Duke Fleed remarked.

"Well they better get used to it," Ryoma called out as he drove a tomahawk into Drukin.

The Inspector mech was left with a deep gash and sparks flew from it.

While it didn't show on his face, Wendolo as furious that his team was not doing that great. He wanted to be able to crush these people.

That he wasn't able to meant he needed to find pawns to use to against them. Which given how many fought over this planet meant no lack of options to try to get.

Harry then had to avoid a pair of missiles from the Dikastes.

"So what will make these Inspectors leave?" Ron asked Duke Fleed.

"Not something they will do willingly," Duke Fleed remarked. "We will have to force them out of the Solar System."

That was not going to be easy.

"Keep dreaming Fleedian," Aquija snarled.

"Perhaps it is time to make you shut up," Canard Pars growled.

The Inspectors then stared at Megas going super destructor mode.

"This is going to hurt," Mekibos muttered before Coop opened fire.

The Silverwind tried to avoid the massive barrage and even it couldn't dodge it all. The Dikastes fired off a massive blast from the chest to try to thin out of the onslaught of firepower.

Mazinkaiser SKL then raised its sword to the heavens. Lighting struck the blade.

The Silverwind fired off an energy blast from a pop out cannon, but that seemed to annoy Ryo and Ken.

The next thing they did was nail the Galgau with a Thor Hammer Breaker.

Londo Bell was slightly impressed when the Dikastes pulled a sword out of another dimension to use. The massive sword gleamed in the sunlight.

Sanger raised his sword.

"Let's wreck that thing," Ryoma called out with getter tomahawks in hand.

The Dikastes blocked the tomahawks.

"Ah yes Ryoma Nagare," Wendolo stated without losing his smile. "One of the most savage animals of this planet."

"Though I'm sure that Duke Fleed hates you way more than he does me," Ryoma retorted.

"The Fleedians are a bunch of weak and spineless fools that it is a good thing most of them died," Wendolo commented. "And I am sure the rest of them can die with all you apes."

Shin Getter got out of the way as a breast fire, and a space thunder hit the Dikastes.

An anti-gravity storm then struck the Dikastes and it was like the mecha had suddenly been put on the bottom of the ocean. There was the sound of metal starting to crush filling the air.

"You are right Sikalog," Aquija agreed having heard him say something through his implant to her. "Perhaps enraging the Fleedians is a really bad idea."

"Fall back," Wendolo ordered in disgust.

It burned Wendolo as they had to do a retreat while under fire such a thing was necessary. Londo Bell especially would pay for this!

Hayato Jin on the other hand considered this a good field test of his Getter. It worked perfectly fine and the pilots had managed to not get themselves killed.

V-V-V

Yuu got awakened from a decent nap by what sounded like someone breaking into the house. Still not fully aware of his surroundings Yuu managed to fall down a flight of stairs and find it was Hime and the others from the Novis Noah.

Then it got even more embarrassing for his grandmother to come home and see him on the floor.

Then there was an explosion.

Yuu groaned as he had a feeling that was M.D.

"I just hope this wasn't their first idea," Yuu muttered as with some Reclaimers subtle was something they didn't use.

With that the Brain Powerd pilots ran for their biomechs.

"And you wonder why I left?" Yuu remarked as he went into battle with M.D. and Kanan.

"I wonder what deep rooted psychological issues the one trying to blow things up has," Nanga mused.

"How dare you act like I am broken!" M.D. screamed.

M.D. really was not helping his case on being of even close to sound mind.

"And you wonder why the Reclaimers are considered so poorly," Yuu commented.

"Shut up!" M.D. yelled.

"We don't look good as those chosen by Orphan do we?" Yuu remarked. "Plus the fact human life has spread to other planets means we won't be the only example across the stars."

"All I can hear is the babbling of insanity!" M.D. called out.

"You are one to talk," Nanga stated.

Yuu then could feel through Yuu Brain something had just shown up. Yuu had seen some weird things in his time, but a flying car increasing in size and then turning into a giant robot was a new one.

"Hey anyone tell him that's the pot calling the kettle black?" Speedy Bowie remarked.

"Just focus on dealing with the zealot in a biomech," Isaac commented.

Yuu wasn't sure what to make of this, or who had hired the infamous mercenary team known as J9. He just hoped they were less destructive than Coop.

Blaster Kid would be annoyed to be compared to Coop.

"I don't care who faces me!" M.D. called out.

Kanan was starting to reconsider her stance on Yuu's offer. If every other Grand Cher pilot acted with such suicidal bravo in the face of Londo Bell and other forces it was a surprise they had any Reclaimers left to pilot them.

Yet it was the only place she belonged...so far anyway.

Though belonging wasn't much when a giant sword got driven through you and your Grand Cher by someone with a giant robot. Or someone with a huge gun for their mech used it on a Grand Cher.

"They can not match my speed," M.D. cackled.

Kanan figured that was why the governor kept away from the other Reclaimers and none of them working as part of public relations or diplomacy with the outside world. They all had too many problems or the empathy of brick.

M.D. kept his Grand Cher moving at high speed...and ran into Cybuster went it came out of nowhere.

"What the?" M.D. said in surprise.

Blaster Kid took advantage of that and sent M.D. and his biomech down into a lake.

"Oh hey Yuu," Masaki commented. "Things got crazy at the test for the new Getter."

"With them I never doubt it," Nanga Silverly stated. "And we sure you want those guys around?"

"The J9?" Masaki asked."I've met them before and they're ok."

"Is that so?" Yuu remarked as Kanan was making a break for it.

"Yeah," Masaki answered. "I'm sure you can meet them if you like."

"I see," Yuu noted as he wasn't sure he wanted to do that.

"Lune knows them too," Masaki admitted.

Yuu wasn't sure how he felt at a team of mercenaries keeping an eye on him. Though given they didn't do anything beyond get involved in a brawl with giant robots he felt somewhat better about it.

V-V-V

Albus Dumbledore wasn't sure what had Alastor in hurry to get into his office but he let his friend in.

"Albus we got problems," Mad Eye panted. "A muggle already invented something like that diary."

"We must act quickly and remove…" Dumbledore said with hand in hand and Alastor laughed.

"Albus this was back doing the conflict with the Zeon and the professor who made the EXAM System got killed back in that," Alastor explained.

Albus was completely shocked that a horcrux could be made by muggles. Mad Eye handed over a book to Albus.

Dumbledore quickly read the relevant section.

"And this was merely to counter newtypes?" Dumbledore gasped. "The use of a soul of a person merely to use as a weapon?!"

"And they call we do magic," Alastor mused. "Even if that system became a horcrux by accident."

Dumbledore's eyes widened at his friend using that term.

"Look we both know that's what Riddle did," Mad Eye remarked. "Not it has done him that much good as the main piece got beat twice. He didn't have an arse to get kicked."

"Still this is extremely worrying," Dumbledore sighed. "And what happened to this Marion Welch?"

"Rumors she died due to the destruction of the EXAM System to her just waking up out of the coma she was in," Alastor replied with a shrug. "Living or dead she's unable to be found."

"This is disturbing," Albus muttered.

"Yeah it is," Alastor agreed. "And even worse that was all started because one man was afraid of something different than him. We wouldn't be that much different than newtypes or coordinators in that regard."

"It has been something I have feared for years," Albus admitted.

"And of course so many not understanding what those even are proves humanity hasn't changed that much," Mad Eye noted.

"I merely hope no one else has created anything like the EXAM System," Dumbledore said gravely.

He had no idea something far too close for comfort existed in Zeorymer. Or that the lurking menace within that powerful mech was soon going to try to make his plans into a reality.

V-V-V

General Cobert felt extremely sure he had found the right people for a special squad.

He needed something a bit more controlled than Londo Bell. Something a bit more willing to do wetworks when needed, and much more manageable than to him the dumping ground of every weird pilot and unit in the Terran League.

Also he was sure if he pushed some members of Londo Bell too far they'd simply murder him.

He also wondered where to use his spy to learn more about that Tekkaman that was allied with Londo Bell. The downside being if Major Yeager figured out who he was.

General Cobert didn't want to have to deal an interservice mess. He just wanted his own military unit to make sure life still existed in the Solar System by whatever means he deemed necessary.

He believed the group in his office would do just that.

Yazan Gable smirked as he just wanted to pilot a mech again. He didn't care in the slightest at any puffed up crap the general wanted to spew.

Trowa Barton said nothing.

Gai Murakumo also was silent.

Elijah Kiel visibly was staying away from Yazan as was an infamous member of OZ.

Ouka Nagisa hoped this went a better than the Gaia Sabers. Even though she never like that trio from the School, and really wasn't hurt they found out the hard and messy way Hayato Jin was not tolerant of them.

A carbon human of some obscure pilot named Bork Cry looked eager to get into a mobile suit. He also had a feeling he'd get along better with Lt. Gable than commanders he remembered from before.

Katie Madigan wondered what sort of mobile suits he'd get for his collection out of this.

"Well my Knight Jaeger," General Cobert stated. "We have a lot to do."

"Just as long we have some decent mechs and good fights," Yazan remarked.

"Oh that'll be the easy part," the bald general informed his team leader.

V-V-V

Skeleton or Gil Berg as he really was seethed. The toys he had to use to fight that force that humiliated him were nowhere near enough to get his revenge.

The Tau Dragon and Crossbone Vanguard were both pathetic. What Gil wanted was a more powerful unit that would be able to get results.

There was a blinding light and Gil Berg blinked as Magnanimous appeared.

"I heard you hate humans," the massive headed and large chinned alien remarked. "And want to kill a bunch of them."

Gil Berg nearly remarked it was for better reasons but kept silent.

"And what is it to you?" Gil Berg commented.

"Well my boss and his empire want to crush this planet under their heel...if my boss had a heel," Magnanimous stated.

"Fine," Gil Berg remarked. "I get to destroy that girl and her allies and I am satisified."

Magnanimous grinned as he was sure the Emperor of Darkness was going to have a lot of forces to throw at Coop and Londo Bell.
