Molly Weasley wanted to find a way to destroy Binns. She wanted his ghost sent on the "Next Great Adventure" in the most explosive and painful way possible. Which given her youngest son had Londo Bell as his coworkers gave her an insane amount of things to use to make that happen. She also wondered if Binns even graded things as not many in her classes seemed to be aware of any history. And by that it was the history of the Wizarding World in the British Isles.

Molly really wasn't expecting them all to be aware of all the insane events that Londo Bell had ended up involved in or the things they had fought over the years, but she was expecting a solid grasp on the history of their land. And yet that didn't seem to be the case in the slightest as she went over a test she did to figure out where she had to start.

From square one it seemed was the rather annoying answer for her. One she really didn't enjoy, and was extremely displeased about. She personally had felt she wasn't qualified to be a teacher, yet it seemed she was compared to what she was replacing. Such low standards shouldn't apply to what should be the greatest school for magic.

Professor Weasley was finding her respect for Dumbledore dropping as fixing the History of Magic class many years before this should have been nothing more than a side project. Or get the Sorting Hat or one of the magical paintings in the Headmaster office to do it as they had to be superior choices to Binns.

For Merlin's sake she had seen students that had pillows and blankets with them. One of them brought what they called a bedroll to use to sleep on the floor!

Inwardly she wondered if Arthur would want one of those bedrolls for the next time they went out with a wizard tent. The student had said it was comfortable and had used it more than once in History of Magic.

Molly was annoyed that things had gotten to the point roll out beds had been something used in the History of Magic class. Students had worked harder on the charms needed to shrink the roll out beds or a sleeping bag than their actual History of Magic class.

Oh she knew Filius found it somewhat amusing, but Molly felt this should all be an academic interest in charms for the students and not something they perfected doing to deal with complete and utter boredom.

It was infuriating to Molly for something like that to happen at Hogwarts.

However what worried Molly the most was the fact next year was supposed to be the Triwizard Tournament. It felt to her it was like the two schools were going to be invited to a house no one bothered to do any cleaning or fixing any problems that would be embarrassing to be seen by others.

To be honest it made Molly wonder why in Merlin's name anyone thought that the Triwizard tournament was need. A nice inter-school Quidditch tournament would work much easier and be less dangerous. Or perhaps one of those game shows she'd seen people watching on the monitors in Hogwarts now or hand held devices. Both were options for something the trio of schools could do once a month or year or whatever without any issues. Or frankly without the chance of Harry having to save the Hogwarts again.

The Triwizard Tournament was full of death and Molly was sure no one would get to fixing it not be far safer as things like the Goblet of Fire are 'tradition" despite the fact that no one had used the thing in a very long time.

To her tradition was nice, but not something to follow if it hadn't been done in living memory of anyone besides the Flamels and had dangerous results. Especially when either a Quidditch tournament, game show, or a brand new event could be made and be made to be much safer for everyone. This was after all supposed to be a school event and not some bloodsport.

Which was why Molly was once more wondering when Hogwarts had gone to shite and required a military force to attempt to get it back on track. She also wondered how long any of the professors would last if parents knew exactly what was going on in the castle. Her guess would be about five minutes.

Remus gave her a commiserating look as the pair had been working revising their lesson plans to deal with cramming in more material needed to get the students where they should be.

Both of them were considering the task to be more and more daunting by the day. Both classes had been so poorly taught for different reasons for many years.

"This is nearly as bad as when you showed me that test Lockhart gave out," Molly groaned.

There was literally nothing on that first test that had any value, and honestly made her wonder if there had been a useful purpose to spend so much money on his books. Frankly Molly wasn't sure how the OWL or NEWT students avoided lynching the man. Which included the girls in those years that would have crushes on him.

Of course then there had been a look at the book on house points given and taken along with the reason why. It be honest Molly wasn't sure why the students even cared about house points anymore. It was useless and huge joke in her opinion. Professor Snape had a great deal to answer for and that was just one of the things.

It was all utterly embarrassing how something like that could be made pointless and it gave Molly the feeling that if the muggle parents saw all this that they'd want to transfer their children to another school. Not that she blamed them as they would want their children to get the best education. Hogwart was not even close to the praise those that had gone there gave it.

"This is a mess," Molly groused as she put down a reference book.

"No kidding," Remus agreed. "I believe we could divert a river into a stable easier than fix this. And also easier to repair the stable afterwards."

Molly leaned back in her chair. "How could things get this bad?"

Remus pondered that question for a moment.

"The fact you have to do that is scary," Professor Weasley noted.

"Well Binns reportedly wasn't the most engaging teacher before his death, and Riddle supposedly cursed the DADA position when he didn't get the job," Remus answered. "If he had or hadn't doesn't matter as for some reason no teacher lasts beyond a year at it."

"And get off their arse and fixing the problems was too much work for the headmaster," Molly groaned. "Despite that I believe being part of his job as headmaster."

"Yes Dumbledore has managed to not live up to that Lord of the Light image of his in various ways," Remus admitted unhappily as he owed the man much.

Molly understood that bitterness as before the summer she had been one of the strongest supporters of Dumbledore. Now too much had happened and been questioned for her to so blindly follow him.

"And oddly Dumbledore shows up right after Harry's done what should be done by a Lord of the Light," Remus said infuriated.

"A boy who shouldn't be worrying about school had to save this place twice," Molly nearly growled. "Harry should be worrying about his grades and what he can do to be a better seeker. Not have solve problems the staff should deal with or things trying to blow up his mech."

"That is because you are a sane person," Remus commented. "Most of those don't command groups that have mechs, and seems have a position of authority at Hogwarts."

"Remus I am worried that Harry could feel this school teaches that might makes right," Molly said softly. " Even more so that the professors and of the minister of magic could set that sort of example."

"I think they are just used to being able to do whatever they want," Remus sighed. "Which is probably part of why Londo Bell beng here is causing such panic and change."

"Good," Professor Weasley stated. "The school needed someone willing to fix things. And if it takes a military force so be it."

"So true," Remus replied. "Anyway how is Arthur doing?"

"Oh he's doing fine," Molly said with a smile. "Talking with the Junk Guild members that Lowe works with. They are helping him learn even more words and terms."

"And they probably have studied the Cybuster and other La Gias mecha," Remus mused. "And I am sure asking Arthur for his insight on the one part that isn't like standard mecha."

The Cybuster and others like it had proven that magic and technology could be made to work together. It made Remus wonder if what you'd call a magical mech. Autowarlock seemed to be the best of the terms he'd pondered.

Something about the term just felt right to Remus and he wasn't entirely sure why. He also wondered when someone was going to try building something that would fit the name. He was sure it was going to happen sooner or later. He just hoped it wasn't seen shooting at Harry and Londo Bell.

"I just hope Arthur hadn't put a magical spirit in the car," Molly groaned. "Coop had managed to find the car and Arthur has been working on fixing it. Just that the car seems to be a bit weird and animalistic."

"And at this point if it could turn into a robot mode and beat things up won't be that weird," Remus commented. "Supposedly in Nobel Tokyo there are vehicles that can do that."

Molly had to admit that first part was true. Percy had been captain of Hogwarts when it turned into a starship so normal was long gone and buried. Still she was able to see her children every day and now was able to have some effect on Hogwarts. It was a bright side to this mess, and one of the few she could think of.

If she had her way there was going to be a lot of things changed, and if Londo Bell stayed that someone would try to be a parental figure for the various teens thrown into a cockpit. Those children needed it so much and frankly she was sure the Getter team not destroying a city for fun was why children kept being put into mecha.

Another thing she intended to change completely was the muggleborns being unaware of the rules of Wizarding society. Something that was vitally important to be taught and given Harry's questions it was informally presented if at all.

That was something that annoyed her as this was a boarding school and supposed to be one of the greatest schools of magic. This was where rules of etiquette should be learned and enforced.

Of course so many purebloods complained about it, but it seems that actually doing anything was more than they could get around to. Just maybe some comments about a lack of respect for tradition from the muggleborns as the most they could do.

Molly shook her head again as that frankly was another thing that was starting to get to her. It was like no one wanted to try solving a problem and figured complaining was actually action. Something that she didn't believe to be true at all.

If you wanted results you had to actually get your hands dirty and do something.

"Remus you have the same feeling I do that here are a mountain of problems to fix with the class?" she asked.

"Always," Remus answered as he leaned back on the sofa he was seated in.

"I hate this," Molly groaned. "Even more so finding out how the Potions class is taught now. I honestly could teach it the way it had been presented, but I won't give snarky responses to questions."

Remus sighed at that. The only reason Severus hadn't gotten fired likely was the parents were unable to see his teaching style first hand. Or people listening to Dumbledore and his platitudes.

"And Severus keeps his problems he had with me and the others alive despite he did far better than we have," the DADA teacher observed.

Molly could tell the we that Remus referred to was the Marauders. Which given what happened to all of them was pretty much true. Though she wasn't sure why Remus had go into the muggle world to get employment.

"I no longer care that he has Dumbledore's trust," Molly said sharply. "It does not matter on his ability to teach a subject."

"Harry told me everyone in Londo Bell feels the same way," Remus noted. "Also they are fond of saying they had the complete trust of Ryoma Nagare or the other questionable pilots to throw in his face."

"That many like Malfoy hadn't done that says they don't understand how to do that," Molly commented. "Then again the man also felt fist fighting my husband in a public place with a photographer present was a cunning idea. So excuse me for thinking it is purely his large amount of galleons that Malfoy has any influence."

"And be glad it wasn't fighting someone like Hayato Jin that would have him on the ground in pain before Hagrid could stop it," Remus mused. "Also likely missing parts of his body as well."

"I am starting to think there are a lot of Slytherins that overrate themselves in cunning and such," Molly grumbled. "Andromeda must think her house has gone to the dogs."

"It is the 'Puffs you need to be afraid of," Remus half joked. "Hard working and willing to get their hands dirty."

"Probably," Molly admitted. "I won't be surprised if they do while others merely talk."

Remus then had something come to him. Something he remembered from looking into the muggle world when he knew he had to go there for work.

"Molly there is an event in muggle history and its effect on an entire island nation you might want to look up," Moony stated. "Not just for your class but for Arthur to bring up at the Ministry of Magic."

"Ok," Molly said after a moment. "How would this apply?"

"Well it was an event that caused the nation many of Londo Bell hail from to go from being very isolated and on the road to becoming a powerful modern nation," Remus explained.

"I can see how that would be important," Molly replied with a thoughtful look on her face.

"And that frankly I expect things to change," Remus admitted. "And the Terran League government housed in Europe means it is like the neighbors down the street in terms of geographic closeness."

"With some Terran League government offices in Dublin," Molly noted to Remus's surprise.

"How did you know that?" Remus asked in utter shock.

'You didn't think a global government would escape Arthur's notice?" Molly answered.

"Good point," Remus said after a moment.

"Admittedly understanding everything slipped him as it does most of us," Molly sighed.

"Did that also include finding out about Blue Cosmos?" Remus groaned.

Molly nodded. "Arthur wasn't happy to find out that the reason the Statute of Secrecy was made still applies. Or that those Coordinators have to deal with the same sort of things we had to before going into hiding. The fact the best they can do is space colonies didn't help either."

"Not everyone can be as open or just utterly jaded to strange things as Londo Bell," Remus observed.

"I am not sure that's a good thing or a bad thing," Molly commented.

It was hard for Remus to figure that out as well. The fact anyone could get that way about schools of magic and more was kind of disturbing.

"I will have to look the event you talked about," Molly stated. "And possibly see what it had done to Japanese magic users as well."

"I have no idea the effect that had," Remus remarked.

"Huh," Molly muttered.

She took that as something she needed to look into. She was sure it'd be interesting material and even could work as something to cover in her class.

"Anyway," Molly stated to change the subject. "We also need to cover demons as it is clear they do not care about the Statute of Secrecy."

"And one of them is an ally of Londo Bell at least," Remus nodded. "If not a human whose soul has ended up in a demon body somehow."

"Something I don't even know how that could be possible," Molly admitted. "Or how anyone would know how to do that."

"With reportedly with who set up what happened not being a magic user," Remus stated. "At least no one thinks he is."

"I do wonder if the ICW would try to figure that out," Molly commented. "As that supposedly was a completely insane party to attract demons."

Remus had no answers and wondered who would. There was much around Devilman and those demons that no one was sure of.

Molly then wondered what exactly Remus had done for work in the Muggle world. It was something he had never mentioned and she wondered where the best place to bring it up would be.

She just hoped it wasn't something too weird. Which given how things were going it could be.

V-V-V

Graham Aker looked at the upgraded Union Flag that Coop and Lowe had made for him. He had a feeling even the mecha pilots of Celestial Being would want to pilot the mech in front of him.

"And we even figured out how GN particles work and you use a gun like they," Lowe said extremely happily.

"You have beta tested this right?" Graham asked as he wasn't going to risk firing exotic particles without them testing that.

Especially given who had made the thing. Those two played very fast and loose with a lot of things. Even more than possibly Professor Saotome when he thought about it.

"Moira would be unhappy with them if they did," Amuro noted.

Graham chuckled as the chief engineer on that pair of Gundams WSO had was not someone to have unhappy with you.

It was something that Coop and Lowe understood and likely had found out the hard way at least once.

"Really?" Ken Kaido scoffed as he looked at the upgraded Union Flag. "And here I thought those custom Leos the Stardust Knights had was a major attempt trying to upgrade junk."

Graham didn't let that bother him.

"I think this will work great," Graham commented looking at his new Union Flag. "And definitely surprise that trio of pilots."

"If they ever show up again after being beaten twice," Jamie noted.

"They seem too stubborn to take the hint," Ken observed. "We'll have to pound it into them some more."

Graham didn't disagree with that statement. He then saw an Improved GM II.

"Lt. Ray I heard that the Improved GM II is comparable to the RX-78-2 Gundam in performance," Graham commented.

Amuro started laughing like a funny joke had been made.

"I'd take that as hyperbole," Ken remarked as Amuro was still laughing. "Also I thought that was called a GM II Custom."

Graham shrugged as he was sure both names were used for the upgraded GM II model. It was something that happened from time to time.

'We're looking at that to see if the even more enhanced speed of that unit can be applied to Albus's unit," Lowe commented with a grin. "Also we managed to get the remote control system from Fleur's GM Cannes into that Improved GM II."

Graham Aker wondered if the report on a time traveling wizard even surprised the brass that had to read Londo Bell related materials anymore. He kind of doubted it to be honest. The group had seen so many things and reported on them over the years.

Or finding out that a former CO of Londo Bell was a wizard and his daughter way more than a normal witch for that matter. Graham wasn't sure what to label Veela as, but it wasn't common was what he did know.

"I needed a good laugh," Amuro said after another minute.

"That said so much the performance of that mobile suit," Graham admitted.

As in the upgraded GM II unit was very far from what they claimed it to be. Also they never asked the pilot of the RX-78-2 Gundam what exactly the performance of that unit was. He was sure the pilot of the G3 would feel the same. Graham just wasn't sure Sayla would break into laughter like Amuro had.

Still Graham was sure the Improved GM II was a step up from a GM Cannes and a Gespenst. Which he was sure was a good thing for Volunteer Ensign Delacour.

Graham Aker then hoped all the mecha they had would be enough for when they picked up Major Zonvolt's new mech as he knew there was no way that was going to be peaceful and calm.

He also knew his upgraded Flag was going to get a trial by fire. Graham just wondered how literal that would be.

He honestly won't be surprised if there was fire involved. It was just part of the job at this point.

V-V-V

A girl's restroom was a strange place for a few members of Londo Bell to be waiting. Yet this water closet held the doorway to a hidden chamber full of who knows what. Things that they wanted to discover, and a giant monster that needed cut up and the parts sold off.

Harry wondered why Moaning Myrtle was scared of Ryoma. She was dead and therefore wasn't able to be hit by him. Unless Getter Rays were that dangerous, but didn't think Myrtle had been reading up on the various weapons of Londo Bell.

The late Myrtle Warren could see the Getter pilot linked to something she did not want to get the attention of. She had no idea what it was or that its name was the Getter Emperor but she knew it was dangerous even to a ghost.

Athrun blinked as he could see Moaning Myrtle and wondered what touching the ghost would feel like. It also lead him to wonder a lot of things about ghosts.

It lead Athrun to ponder if his father or Lacus would believe anything he wrote about that and literally being in a castle full of ghosts that also was a school for magic.

Of course there also were rumors of about the Mazinger Angel that was also in the room. All sorts of strange rumors surrounded Honey Kisaragi aka Cutie Honey aka Cutey Honey.

So many things were spoken about her and Athrun found each one more insane and impossible than the last. With only one person who was reportedly at one of those events and that was Ryoma Nagare. Athrun wasn't sure if he honestly wanted to ask the pilot of Shin Getter One if he had fought a monster alongside Cutie Honey before getting into the cockpit of a Getter.

'This is going to be one weird deployment, ' Athrun thought. 'Then again I am working with Londo Bell.'

"So what else you think will be down there?" Ryoma asked Harry as he leaned against a wall.

"Not sure," Harry admitted. "Really didn't have any chance to explore it, and doubt Ginny would remember what if anything else besides the main room she had seen."

"True," Ryoma agreed.

"I just wonder how long…." Harry said and groaned. "Got to ask Professor Weasley when they started making magical paintings."

"An understandable project," Gilliam commented.

"Just seems every time I think for a moment I found something else that should be mentioned in my History of Magic class," Harry groaned. "Not blaming Mrs. Weasley it isn't her fault the Binns was so bad and utterly boring."

"So think it was some masterplan for the students not to be taught history and kept unknowing of it or just stupidity?" Ryoma asked Gilliam.

"Stupidity as there is no sign of anyone with an actual plan," Gilliam answered.

Mad Eye snorted. "Trust me if most of the Death Eaters had the brains and ability for things like that they won't need to be Death Eaters. They honestly wouldn't have needed Riddle to be dangerous to people."

Alastor found all the theories that Londo Bell mused to be even more fun than the Quibbler. Then again they also had faced newts that could turn people into Inferni, people made from the halves of two mummies put together and resurrected somehow, and aliens from outer space. So they were used to insane things happening.

Harry was about to open his mouth on Malfoy Sr. having a dangerous plan, and closed his mouth realizing the man could have used his son being sent into the Forbidden Forest to find what was killing unicorns to try to get Hagrid fired, and see who else he could get sacked or slammed in the newspapers.

It made Volunteer Ensign wonder if by 'make you great' the Sorting Hat really meant he'd show a lot of begged to get into Slytherin kids what actually cunning meant. It won't be a surprise if the Sorting Hat confirmed that.

Harry was starting to believe that the wizarding world was even more insane than he first thought. Which he felt was saying something, and it wasn't good.

Ginny was not expecting this sort of discussion. Or what she saw her brother Ron was doing.

Ron was reading a book on dueling and various styles used in it. He was extremely engrossed in the material and seemed to be enjoying it.

And yet to Ginny there also was how Ron was so much more aware now, and his reflexes even faster than before.

"What?" Ron asked without even looking up from his book.

"This is just odd," Ginny admitted. "Books on dueling and your reading up on the So…"

"Somniums," Ron corrected.

"Yeah those things," Ginny said with a great deal of annoyance. "Not even sure Luna knows what they are."

"Those beings are still less weird than the rumors that Ryoma and Hayato are a reverse of a wizard or witch turned into an animal and being a dragon or nundu cursed to be a human," Harry mused.

Ryoma chuckled at that. He found those rumors amusing.

"My life is weird," Ginny groaned. "And my knight in shining armor works with maniacs and weirdos. How that Captain Noa keeps his sanity I have no idea."

"They got my back and I trust them," Harry shrugged.

"You trust me and rest of my 'team' already?" Athrun said surprised.

"Why wouldn't I?" Harry asked. "I mean you've always helped out various times we've encountered each other and you don't wear some mask or helmet like Char."

A silence hung in the air for a moment. Athrun wondered why his team leader had worn the silver mask as it had to be something that could be explained why he wasn't being like Char. It just would be nice if what that reason was had been explained before ending up at Hogwarts.

Honey wondered if Athrun was aware there likely was no good reason for that man he followed to have a silver mask like that. She just wondered what agenda that masked red jacket had. Besides the not good for anyone he considered his enemies part as that was obvious.

That was when curse breakers and goblins entered the bathroom. At the head was a welcome sight for Ginny.

"Bill!" Ginny called out and ran over to eldest brother.

Bill was all business as he looked his sister in the eye. "Are you sure you want to see what is down there?"

Ginny nodded. "I need to know, and see what Tom had me unleash on the school repeatedly."

"Just be careful," Bill stated. "Because this might get ugly and that's before we cut open the giant snake."

Ginny tried to look brave than she felt. Her heart was pounding already and they hadn't even gotten started.

Harry walked over the door to the Chamber of Secrets and hissed "Open."

"Care to try if saying stairs will work?" Gilliam enquired as that was one very dirty slide.

Harry did so and the slide turned to stairs. Something he was glad for as he honestly had no idea how he'd have gotten out this time given he doubted Fawkes would be willing to be used to transport people and more around. Fawkes was a phoenix and not a cargo truck after all.

Nor was Harry sure that Fawkes could be made to do something like that if he didn't want to. It was something that Harry never wanted to try and see what would happen.

Bill took the lead and very carefully was taking in everything and silently casting various spells.

Harry was in awe of that, and really hoped the goblins and Ryoma got along. Otherwise things would get very bloody very fast. It was something he'd rather avoid being a kilometer from.

A look was exchanged and that seemed to be it.

A much longer look was held between the goblins and Cutie Honey.

Athrun got a feeling that he won't like learning why that just happened. It'd probably confirm some of the odder stories about the Mazinger Angel.

The goblins got to work making the tunnel stable and removing the debris covering the door. Athrun watched that closely and from a safe distance.

Bill looked at Ron and Harry. "And the teachers gave you nothing for risking your lives?"

"They have never have beyond house points...not that I did it for glory or praise," Harry answered.

Bill muttered things Ron was sure their mother never would want to hear. Or in this case might have said herself.

It was one those things that made Harry once more wonder exactly how unsafe and insane his time at Hogwarts had been.

The fact that this happened twice did not sit well with Bill. It was not normal for Hogwarts when he went there, and he didn't find it acceptable. That one of those involved in both incidents was his youngest brother only amplified his displeasure.

"I will be having words with Professor Dumbledore about this, and other things that I believe need to be changed," Bill remarked to the pair. "And I won't be taking any double talk, vague comments, him saying he completely trusts someone as an answer."

"Just ask Mum and she'll hold him down while you beat him up," Ginny interjected.

Everyone could tell she wasn't kidding.

Harry wasn't sure if it was heartwarming or just disturbing.

Athrun wondered once more what sort of madness he'd gotten involved in.

Ryoma chuckled as he found it all amusing.

"And Ron can you level with me if you are learning the Nagare school of karate?" Bill asked.

"I have no real interest in martial arts," Ron admitted. "I mean it is amazing what some of the people trained in it can do, but it is not my thing."

Bill let out a sigh of relief at that as he didn't want to explain to Mum what the training for that martial art entailed. Or that the tiger skin run Ron might have involved him winning a fight with said tiger.

That such a thing also was way less scary than explaining Ron taking after Hayato Jin in any manner to Mum disturbed Bill.

"Exactly how good is old shed basilisk skin?" Harry inquired.

"It depends the age, size...and that's it over there isn't it?" Bill said as he got a good look around the room.

He had via magic detection seen that the shed skin was no danger, but that was it.

Harry and Ron nodded.

Bill went over the discarded skin and there was the sound of crunching of rat bones. The curse breaker knew that what Harry had fought was much larger in size than this shed skin suggested. It honestly made him wonder how Harry didn't get a special award at the very least if not an Order of Merlin First Class.

'If nothing Harry shouldn't have been able to avoid staying at the Burrow last summer and the Headmaster if he disagreed told to pound sand,' Bill thought to himself.

Which frankly Bill felt would have helped Harry pick his third year electives as it took a man who was considered a murderer after Volunteer Ensign Potter to tell him about what they were and how important or not each class was.

Which said so much to well the professors prepared the students for the third year electives to Bill. Which remembering Mum was now a professor made him snort as bringing that up to her would have her mention that to her second year students a few weeks before the end of the school year.

Bill wondered why that wasn't something done by the teachers already. It was only really important to the future of the students after all and effected their future. They expect the muggleborns to magically know what electives to pick and have any idea what jobs even existed in the Wizarding World?

The curse breaker then looked over the giant snake skin with various spells and saw the skin was worth making some boots out of at least. Also it told him that the actual carcass was going to be huge.

Bill was getting less and less happy about this whole Chambers of Secrets mess his youngest siblings and a boy that clearly should needed his godfather around got into. If anything he was getting more frustrated with everything he was hearing.

"Greatest school of magic my arse," Bill muttered.

Bill then sighed and realized his sister heard him say that. Their mother wasn't going to be happy hearing him say things like that.

"I won't tell Mum if you won't," Ginny stated with an impish smile.

Bill snorted at that. He then put his hand on his sister's shoulder.

"I just want you know I am always here for you Ginny," Bill said dead serious.

"I know," Ginny said softly.

"Though I have no idea what my nephew's problem is," Bill admitted. "Because even I won't want to go near anything Lowe and Coop consider needing to be put behind locked doors."

"I don't believe anyone has figured out why Albus considers the insane things he does good ideas," Ginny sighed. "Which kind of embarrasses me and I know it drives Harry batty."

"The fact he is even around is crazy," Bill noted. "Or that a time turner able to go back decades would be hidden at Hogwarts in the first place. I mean serious why is that in this school?"

"Though I can see it happening more easily than...Tom….and Bellatrix Lestrange having children," Ginny stated.

"Yeah that one I figured Tom gave up things that would allow him to be a father in his quest for immortality," Bill said with a far off look on his face. "And yes such rituals do exist and they aren't for the faint of heart."

Ginny made a face at that. It was definitely not something she'd ever want to see done in person.

"Yeah I have learned some crazy stuff being a cursebreaker," Bill shrugged.

"I am sure that it'd be different than the views on light and dark taught at Hogwarts," Ginny mused.

"Very different," Bill agreed and then looked to see the goblins had managed to fix the fallen tunnel.

With that Bill look the lead once more carefully was studying everything. He was not leaving anything to chance. He was going to make sure this was as safe as it could be.

Ron also tried to be as calm as he could be and focus on his feelings. He wanted to be ready for anything.

Then they came the chamber, and Harry saw the basilisk and it actually didn't like much if any rot had set in given how it had been laying for months in a chamber that was definitely not refrigerated. Or preservation charms used on the carcass for that matter.

Ginny looked like she was about to freak out seeing the massive thing she had unleashed on Hogwarts repeatedly. It was hitting her hard how very luck she was that no one had died in those various attacks.

Even killing cat with that thing would make her feel sick and dirty. To have killed someone like Moaning Myrtle had been would make her feel unable to live with herself. She'd feel so tainted to have been even a pawn used to kill.

To Ginny's surprise Athrun put a hand on her shoulder to try giving her some sort of comfort.

Honey gave Ginny a comforting smile.

"Damn," Ryoma said in awe. "That's one big snake. And you used just a sword? I'm impressed."

Harry wasn't sure what to make of that comment. Though it was still more than a lot of people had said to him about it. Harry really hoped they didn't believe because of the myth about him that he would for free kill any monster they desired.

Volunteer Ensign Potter was a nice person, but even he had his limits. What annoyed him listening to Albus Severus and Scorpius talk about events Harry was going to make not happen was how people could say or do anything to him and there was no consequences.

Which included badges that said "Potter Stinks" in front of three schools and no one doing anything about it. Harry won't care if the professors reacted and it wasn't really for him things were done but rather for the Hogwarts staff to save face with the other two schools. It still would have been more than they usually did.

'Still if Malfoy tries that next year he'll be lucky to avoid being in the same shape of the Death Eater that would put my name in the Goblet of Fire,' Harry thought.

Harry then noticed the goblins and Bill inspecting all the statues extremely closely. Harry was sure asking what the names of the goblins are is something that should be done when they weren't in the middle of work down here.

Gilliam watched closely, and wondered what they would find. Athrun did the same thing.

Not that Ron noticed any of this. He could not look away from the giant snake his best friend had killed. And all just to save a girl Harry barely knew, but needed help.

Fury filled Ron as he realized no one seemed to care how close Harry came to dying that day. To his self loathing even Ron knew he hadn't figured it out until the moment he saw the basilisk.

Ron should have dragged Harry home last summer. Dumbledore and his wishes be damned.

Ron felt like a shitty friend to be honest. Like he could have done worlds better and also to honestly ask Bill or Percy what you had to do to become head boy. Not that he was sure he could turn around his grades enough to be in the running but he had to try. If only so he'd be able to look at himself in the mirror every day.

It was a bit of a surprise to Ron when he heard rock loudly sliding away and drove him from his thoughts. He once more focused his senses as the various newtypes and psychodrivers had been teaching him.

Ron could feel that Honey was ready to swing into action if she had to, and that she was not exactly a normal being. What she was exactly Ron had utterly no idea, and wasn't sure who to even ask about it.

Bill was the first in to the now opened chamber. His wand was a blur of motion as he checked every single inch of room.

"Clear!" Bill called out.

Harry kept his distance, but stayed close enough they could yell for him to talk to things. He wasn't sure how much more of the doors down there were locked behind snake speak.

The grimmy old corridors required lumos light or what the goblins used that was for lack of better terms a flying glowing ball.

Though Ryoma had noticed that Bill had a hands free flashlight attached to his belt. Likely done via a sticking charm. It was something he was surprised that hadn't been taught at Hogwarts, but that it seemed was because it was actually useful application of magic.

Ron then wondered exactly who would own anything Bill and the others found. Was it Professor Dumbledore as being headmaster of the school? Or Harry due to being who could let people in? Or the Smith family if they were truly descendants of Helga Hufflepuff.

Ron nearly laughed realizing it was a question he doubted anyone had thought to even ask.

Bill didn't spare any thought to such legalities as went deeper into the darkness and found a stone door. He quickly checked for any spells or needing Harry to open the door.

There weren't and he was able to get the door open. Inside was a room that had preservation runes carved into the walls, and was Slytherin's library. Bill smiled slightly at the thought of Harry needing to learn Old or Middle English even if he could tell what was written inside the tomes.

Still a treasure trove of ancient magic was a good thing. How much of it was forgotten or could be updated and adapted Bill had no idea, but it was definitely going to keep someone busy for a long time.

Bill quickly made sure none of the books were cursed in any fashion. He didn't believe they would be, but it was something that needed checked. Thankfully he didn't detect anything like that.

Bill knew that it would be a long time before everything in that library was categorized and sorted out.

The next room was Bill explored turned out to be full of seeds. That was a surprise to Bill, but he realized quickly it could be a boom if there were plants not seen in the world in a long time waiting to be grown.

Bill considered it to be another long term project that certain was going to be interesting to some people.

The next room was it seemed a sitting room for Salazar Slytherin and even had a tome on table next to a sofa. Bill checked everything and it was clean.

Bill snorted as he found the next room was a bathroom, and actually resembled one he'd seen in the magical ruins of Crete once. He then wondered if anyone knew the plumbing for the castle was the same as it had been in those ruins.

Bill realized that it was something he'd have to discuss with his mother to teach later. The rune aided plumbing would likely be an interesting subject for her class. It'd probably also help increase the size of the rune classes.

It was in the final room that an amazing prize was to be found. On the far wall was four framed paintings. Bill looked at the figures on the canvas and gasped. It was then the four magical paints in the room come alive.

"Come in here and see this!" Bill yelled.

Harry gasped as he realized what they had found.

The paintings were of the Founders of Hogwarts!

Ron was also in awe of what had been found. Also it showed whoever made those statutes of Salazar Slytherin likely demanded cash up front and no refunds.

Gilliam was interested in seeing how the Founders acted. It was certainly going to be worth watching.

No one was shocked that the presence of people dressed well….they all were surprised Salazar Slytherin's painting.

"What is going on here?" Salazar demanded. "Who are you people and what are you doing in my sanctuary?!"

Gilliam gave Ryoma a look to not answer that question.

"I let them in," Harry spoke up.

"...So you can speak to snakes like I can," Salazar mused.

Harry made a face. "Though your reputation and that of one who claimed to be related to you didn't do that ability any favors."

"I believe you will have to explain what has happened," Helga Hufflepuff stated as she looked at Harry closely.

Harry had this feeling there was more to her taking "the hard working, the loyal, and all the rest" than had ever been spoken. Her look kind of reminded her of how Major Gilliam and Mad Eye looked at things.

"Do you know of the being named Eldaron?" Harry asked.

All four of the Founders nodded at that. They were all aware of that Guardian Spirit of the Earth.

"We'll get to him later, but he's allowed my teammates to be here and for us to be the vanguard against some threat," Harry explained.

"Yes that does seem to be his stock in trade," Rowena commented. "And those giant metal machines he uses as well."

"Those have become a lot more commonplace," Harry admitted.

"Like the Talos of the vanquished Mycenae Empire?" Slytherin mused.

"Yes, only I don't call them vanquished anymore as their conquerors are still around," Harry informed the magical painting. "And also stole the name Mycenae Empire as their own."

That stunned the four paintings into silence. Given to even them that empire had been more myth than history said a lot about however devastating the destruction of that war had been. That the enemy in it hadn't died out was worrying.

"This is going to be a long story," Harry admitted. "We need to hold this somewhere more comfortable with chairs and water."

"And possibly the Super Robot Channel to help explain some things," Athrun mused.

"Won't hurt," Harry shrugged.

"The what?" Salazar inquired.

Harry realized this was going to be even longer to explain than he first thought. And yet he looked forward to this.

'Though why a water park picked a moray eel as the basis for their mascot I don't think I could ever explain,' Harry mused thinking about Uppo-Kun of Waterpolis.

Though a questionable mascot was easier to explain than the disaster at Bottom World as no one was sure if it was one disaster or more than one frankly. Or why anyone would name an underground theme park Bottom World.

It was just not a name he'd use.

"I believe chairs and bottles of water will be needed," Gilliam stated.

"And maybe some trail mix or sandwiches," Ron commented.

Bill chuckled as that sounded right for Ron and made him feel less worried about his youngest brother.

Harry then groaned as he realized he didn't know much about the actual history of the wizarding world. He hoped Bill or someone else could cover more of that for him.

"Don't worry Harry," Bill told Harry. "I got my love of history and learning about it from Mum. So I can cover a lot of it."

"Thank you," Harry said in relief.

With that Bill started talking to the Founders about the history that happened between them ending up in the Chamber of Secrets and the modern day.

Harry was shocked that the four paintings where tied into the school so they learned modern English among some other things. It wasn't everything, but it was more of a foundation than Harry was expecting.

"We also have learned much from Eldoran," Godric Gryffindor commented.

Harry wondered what that Guardian of the Earth intended them to fight. He also wondered if he/it/whatever pronouns applied to Eldoran had any limits in what could be told the upcoming threat.

It worried the young wizard/mech pilot that they still were no closer to figuring out what the menace that Eldoran knew of. Or what would make it more dangerous than everything else out there.

It was something he could feel in his bones was going to be brutal.

V-V-V

It was a unit designed by a would be king from Jupiter for whoever his queen would be. A king who killed by a mobile suit ramming his own head on and ramming the shield into him. A would be king without a real queen at his side.

So the mobile suit that had waited for a queen to use it had been left forgotten. It had been found and ended up in the hands of the Neo Zeon. Liberian Works it was upgrading it and preparing it for them.

The unit was called Titania and Thomas grinned as it was repainted green and silver. It was going to be very deadly and useful for him.

Bellatrix stared in awe of the mobile suit she was to use. It was one thing to be given the knowledge of mechs and how to use them, but it was another to see mecha in person. There also was the realization that you were looking at something that you were going to be the pilot of.

"Muggles can make such wonderful weapons of war," Bella nearly cooed.

"Including it seems ready to order knock offs of famous soldiers," Thomas commented. "Full Frontal will be the one wearing red with the metal mask. So please pretend to follow his orders and agree with him."

Though there was a surprise as the CEO of GREaT also was with Full Frontal and the Liberian Works scientists. Thomas had no idea that GREaT was working with any of them or supporting them.

Thomas nearly chuckled as only the CEO and inner circle he had of the company would even be aware of that so it wasn't a fact that would be well known. That had to annoy those that suspected GREaT was up to no good. At least with Anaheim Electronics you'd be able to find people beyond at the top that were aware of what was going on.

Still something about Ludo Gloria reminded Thomas of an immoral even by politician standards public servant. It put him on guard and signaled for Bellatrix and the others to do the same.

Bellatrix wasn't subtle as she had a knife in her hand and an expression that wasn't kind on her face. She looked ready to inflict some damage even without a wand.

Thomas was glad no one joked if Bellatrix came with a muzzle as they'd likely find that the last thing they ever said.

Of course Thomas had his wand ready to use if need be. Though many would be surprised it was the bubble head charm he was ready to cast more than an unforgivable. Though having a hand cannon style pistol ready to use with his non-wand hand allowed for killing power if he needed that.

Given the people Ludo worked with he was very aware of the reception he had, but honestly didn't care. He had met and worked with far worse than this bunch. Something he was sure these "Death Eaters" won't take very well.

Ludo also had his own ace in the hole that rivaled the SDF-1 and this bunch with some upgraded mobile suits didn't come even close. The blonde haired and blue eyed CEO missed the look Barty gave him.

Still Ludo put on a pleasant expression and manner as he always had when dealing with murderers and thugs. Which included Deikum Barton of the Barton Foundation given the old maniac wanted to drop Space Colonies on the Earth to devastate it, and the mess that was Rau Le Creuset. Thomas Krieger was just another name on that list to the CEO.

"There is something that needs to be dealt with," Ludo stated.

"And that would be?" Thomas inquired smoothly.

"Sanger Zonvolt getting an even more powerful mech to use," Ludo answered.

"And why is what one man gets important?" Thomas asked.

"Do you want one of Londo Bell's senior officers having even more firepower in the fights ahead?" Full Front remarked.

"What support am I going to have?" Thomas stated. "I am not going to go running where Londo Bell will expect an attack alone."

Thomas was a man who fought as a guerilla fighter after all. He didn't do stand up fights, and used terror as much as a killing curse. Going where the enemy expected you to be and they could fortify their position was suicide.

Which was why even in just his mind he had to admit the whole taboo on his fake name thing would really defeat things as people knew how to get him to show up. So he had no plans to make that happen or even to use the fake name he made up as a teenager ever again.

"The Barton Foundation is willing to aid us in this as is the Zanscare Empire," Ludo assured Thomas. "Plus the Crossbone Vanguard wants to hurt Londo Bell as well for turning their plans to conquer a space colony to ash."

Thomas laughed hard at that.

"You mean they are only taking part so the other forces can be trashed and they can take whatever super robot the Sword That Pierces Evil will be piloting for their own personal use," the carbon human corrected.

Full Frontal and Ludo Gloria didn't even bother the lip service of trying to correct Thomas. He knew what was going on, and hadn't said no.

Bellatrix was bemused that some things never changed. Greed being one of those things.

"Of course I will do this," Thomas said in agreement. "However I will need more mobile dolls and definitely Vayeate, Mercurius, and Virgo models to increase my forces and give me attrition units as would like to keep my corps of troops as intact as I can."

"Agreed. Also you can be provided with the Gundam mobile dolls," Ludo quickly stated as he didn't care if Thomas had those things. In all honesty those tin cans were something Thomas had used well.

Full Frontal's look that Ludo missed or didn't care about told Thomas that the second coming of the Red Comet didn't care much for being cut off and likely overruled.

It was something the wizard and mech pilot was sure would prove useful in the days ahead. Though he knew he had to be careful to not over use it.

Thomas was unaware that Barty Jr. also was paying close attention to all this. With Barty having his own plans he intended to put into action.

Thomas unaware how different Barty was now. Even more than his mech of choice was as was a purple Nobusshi that was being upgraded.

Euzeth figured he could turn that lowly MP unit into something that was to be feared and the color purple just called out to him for some reason. It just felt more correct to him over green and silver.

'Though really hope those giant space monsters are not in this reality,' Barty/Euzeth thought to himself. 'The STMCs are not a problem I ever want to have to deal with.'

And yet it still went better for him with those around than it did possessing Aleph Barshem in that one reality. The Divine Wars of that reality were kind of odd.

Still in the end this time Euzeth assured himself that he would change the fates.

Yet somehow even with that he had deeply buried doubts that it'd go exactly the same as it always had for him.

A fear that Barty tried to bury even deeper, and make sure he was ready to fight Londo Bell once more.

Crushing them was the only way he'd ever feel safe. That and making himself into a true Ultraman.

V-V-V

The Telsa Leicht Institute was preparing for guests. Though even to them the base/starship that was Hogwarts along with the Archangel and the Macbeth was something else. A flying castle/starship was an unusual site even after it had been on TV for the Jersey City Thanksgiving parade.

The special task force was not taking any chances on this. Even if this was supposed to be a quick pick up before going to a conference on Brain Powerds, Grand Chars, and the biotech that they were made of. Yuu was considered one of the leading experts for the Terran League on those so he definitely was on the guest list.

No one was believing their enemies would avoid the chance to keep Sanger away from a new and more powerful mech. It was just too important to their plans not ending with Sanger showing them why he was the Sword That Pierces Evil.

Fleur as she was checking over the controls of the GM II Custom really hoped her Christmas was going to be way less insane. Then she remembered the Yule tales her father had as the commanding officer of Londo Bell. It was still rather mad and likely tales Harry and the others would be told about. That is if they already hadn't heard them.

Yuu was of course annoyed that it was likely that yet another interruption to fighting Orphan was going to take place. Did no one thing a giant biotech starship taking all the life energy off Earth to fly off and do unknown damage to the space colonies as it left a serious threat?

While D-Boy brooded as he had been since Halloween. He knew that would become a beast after his time limit, but knowing and experiencing it were two completely different things.

Tekkaman Blade looked at his tek crystal and wondered if he could live with himself if in that blind rage he went and killed people. He then wondered if that would be worse than losing himself in that blind rage and never coming out again.

The only thing keeping Tayaka from crying in a corner was the fact that magic could stop him. Though he wasn't sure if Ron was brave or completely insane to have hoped a stunner could stop a Tekkaman. With Londo Bell it easily could be both.

It also didn't help that Christmas was coming, and Tayaka wasn't going to be having over his family for it. If he saw them again it'd be to death of them or him.

While in comparison to D-Boy's dark thoughts were those of Harry who was looking forward to Christmas. He had a family now. One that honestly cared about him, and one he was going to do anything to protect.

Admittedly in the case of his son that might involve protecting him from himself. It also made Harry wonder how people looked at his desperate actions the first two years at Hogwarts.

"So sensing any trouble?" Harry asked Ron over the comm.

"Not right now," Ron admitted as he was going over what he needed to check in the Nero's cockpit. "Though I won't use my senses as an early warning like that."

Harry nodded.

"Get ready," Mu ordered.

"Got it," Albus stated. "I just hope we feel embarrassed we did this and weren't needed."

"We all do," Mu admitted.

Albus was surprised at that admission.

"We rather be ready and not needed than not ready and needed," Amuro explained.

"That…." Albus said. "Isn't something taught at Hogwarts."

"It is a school that repair charms can fix a watch smashed with a sledge hammer," Ken Kaido noted.

"Indeed forethought isn't much of a cultivated trait when you have something even more powerful than duct tape is for Coop," Kiva mused out loud.

"I'm more embarrassed I wasn't a better role model," Harry sighed.

"But Dad you were," Albus spoke up. "To not sit back and that you had to do things yourself to improve things I learned from you."

Harry was touched by that, but also worried in that Albus Severus had even more bold in his plans than he did. Which frankly given how on the fly said plans were was very telling.

"You are a Gryffindor through and through," Ron noted.

"And this is why we consider the peer pressure of just one trait over others to be bad," Mu commented.

"No kidding," Harry agreed.

Neville chuckled at that as he sure that it would be something talked about a lot after this year.

It was something that frankly was long overdue to be explored and thought about.

Neville wondered if the Sorting Hat also was going to try having Londo Bell as another house at Hogwarts.

Ron was silent on that. Peer pressure was not something ever discussed at Hogwarts. It wasn't sure if he'd be something he'd be interested in learning about before becoming like a newtype, but now it felt like a somewhat important school issue.

"So any sign of trouble?" Kira asked.

"Well I think that army of mobile suits incoming means we are in for a good time," Ken Kaido commented.

"...What are some of those things?" Harry said as he saw the invading force. "And are they really using beam sabers like propellers?"

"Is that even possible?" Mu asked.

"Given it is working yes it is," Hayato remarked.

"It's going to be one of those days," Jamie groaned.

"Let them have it," Ken Kaido said before switching to let Ryo control the Mazinkaiser SKL.

Ryo let loose on the Zolos and especially went after the red Zolo. He felt that had to be the mech of the leader of the group.

Chronicle Asher really had a bad feeling about this assault. He also had a bad feeling that his painting his mobile suit red was something he probably should have reconsidered.

"Everyone try to knock those weird mechs out of the sky," Kai ordered.

The Zolos then showed they could became two parts and the upper half worked like a helicopter. It didn't help when Mu, Amuro, Sayla, Kamille, Judau, and Ron used their enhanced ability to sense things and that awareness on the Zolos.

Chronicle was really regretting painting his Zolo red now as he was trying to stay alive.

"Extra points for taking down the Char knock off!" Mio called out.

Suddenly Chronicle had Salya unload on his Zolo.

"I am quite tired of so many trying to think a red mech and a covered face means they are like my brother," Sayla stated in a cold tone.

The lower half of Chronicle's Zolo was destroyed by a hyper beam saber. Chronicle was glad Sayal Mass did not see he was wearing mask over his face as it might make her destroy the half he was currently.

Any chance Chronicle felt of Zanscare Empire able to fight alone against the Terran League died as he could feel Sayla Mass easily could kill him. The Crossbone Vanguard and other allies were going to be needed.

Inwardly Chronicle chuckled as he had a feeling those other allies were in the same boat as the Zanscare Empire.

The helicopter mode of the upper part of the Zolo then had a grazing hit from Mazinger Z's Breast Fire and even that was warping and damaging the mobile suit.

A giant V then flew at the Zolo and Chronicle tried to get the mobile suit out of the way of Great Mazinger's Great Boomerang.

The only thing that saved the Zanscare ace was Mobile Dolls. The Vayeate, Mercurius, Taurus, and Gundam Alex units got the attention of Londo Bell and had enough numbers to keep them busy.

Also one of the Gundam Alex units got in the way of the Great Boomerang and took the hit instead of the Zolo.

Harry then felt a twitch in his scar. It wasn't a full out Voldemort headache, but it did worry him a lot.

A worry that got a lot stronger seeing silver and green painted mecha. Slytherin colors on mecha was not something Harry ever expected to see and frankly didn't like at all. There was no way that them having that color scheme was random.

Ron got a bad feeling from those mechs, and he trusted his gut a lot more now.

However the green and silver mecha stayed back and let the Mobile Dolls they had go forward and fight.

The Mercurius, Virgo I and Virgo II units proved to be the most annoying as their Planet Defensors could take an incredible beating.

"I can believe those things taking a shot from Wing Zero's buster rifle now," Graham mused out loud.

"Getter Beam!" Ryoma called out and let loose on a swarm of Planet Defensors.

The units held out, but then Coop unleashed a massive swarm of missiles at them. The defensive devices were taken to their limit by the devastating power of Megas.

"Rust Hurricane!" Koji yelled and let loose on the Mercurius mobile dolls.

Any Planet Defensors that still worked were useless as they rusted away like the Mercurius units.

The Iron Z and Mazinkaiser SKL joined on turning the most annoying of the mobile dolls into rust.

Kira Yamato charged at the mobile dolls and assaulted them with the beam sabers of the Strike.

Masaki didn't hold back the power of Zeorymer as he fought the mobile dolls. Though it did worry him that Gundamium theta broke as easily as it did against Zeorymer.

Chronicle and Zabine felt uneasy about Zeorymer. The only thing that kept it from being panic was the fact that the pilot was cut from the same cloth as the Junk Guild.

"Cross Smasher!" Lune called out and the Valsione's most powerful attack destroyed several of the Gundam Alexes.

Then came a shock to many that a Union Flag was able to cut through the armor of a Gundam Alex with the Plasma Sword.

Instantly the Crossbone Vanguard was worried as the Union Flag was extremely fast and to be honest Gundam Alex mobile dolls had far thicker armor than their faster, smaller, and lighter mobile suits.

Graham Aker was just happy his beloved mobile suit type was able to hurt those Gundam Alex mobile dolls.

"..." Athrun said. "Yzak, Dearka, Nicol are you all recording this?"

"Yeah I am," Yzak commented. "And sure it will take all of us sending the recordings for them to believe us."

"Well without us mentioning who did the upgrades," Dearka added.

"I do good work," Coop commented as he stomped a Vayeate into the ground.

Thomas had this feeling he was going to need more mobile dolls. A lot more mobile dolls and hope did far better against regular Terran League forces.

"It figures that those mobile dolls would be nothing to them," Zabine Chareux remarked.

"Who are you guys anyway?" Harry asked as he fought the leader of the small and fast mecha last seen in Side Four.

"We are the Crossbone Vanguard," Zabine said grandly. "Vanguards of Cosmic Babylonia and we will…"

"Thank you that is enough as you hadn't given your name last time we fought," Preventer Wind forcefully interjected.

"We kicked your butt once, and we'll do it again," Ken Kaido said with a smirk.

"How dare you stand in the way of the Crossbone Vanguard!" Zabine Chareux snarled.

"Half the things your leader talks about are reheated Zeonic stuff or things Char has said," Mio commented.

"With a desire to put into place a 'nobility' that bought their title to appear more than they are,' Gilliam Yeager stated. "This also explains where a great deal of their money went. It is so hard sometimes to tell who is funding what groups."

"So basically the Cosmic Babylonia is microwaved Zeon with some half baked nobility stuff?" Harry remarked with a bemused expression.

"I've heard it and you are drastically overselling the last part," Zechs remarked.

To Preventer Wind the whole thing was false and merely pretenders to being nobility wishing to have a mask to wear so they could clutch onto power from generation to generation.

Zabine fired his Shot Lancer at the Tallgeese and with an almost dismissive ease the weapon was cut in half by Zechs.

"Are you almost done?" Zechs asked sharply.

"I honestly don't understand what any of the things you are talking about are, but I was there on the ground when you attacked that space colony," Albus Severus said coldly. "You didn't peacefully take over. You grabbed it and expected people to thank you?"

"They were short minded fools and won't understand," Zabine growled as he flew at the GM Canard with a his beam saber and beam shield ready.

"I frankly am a small mind fool and I do understand," Albus snapped. "You could get a bunch of people to believe you, but couldn't get anyone sane to honestly think you are the answer to anything."

Then to Zabine's shock Albus blocked his beam saber, and kicked the Berga Giros. The bigger and more armored GM Canard came out better in that attack. The Crossbone Vanguard mech was showing it was more and more not as impressive as it first appeared.

"Of course doesn't hurt my mech is fast, and actually isn't a glass cannon like you are using," Albus smirked.

Zabine wanted to disagree with that, but was finding the reduced size and weight of the Crossbone Vanguard mecha had costs. As in it had no real armor to speak of and machine guns actually could hurt it.

'Perhaps we will need some heavier units to keep up with Londo Bell,' Zabine admitted even if just to himself.

Suddenly a gust of wind slammed into the Berga Giros. Only through Zabine's skill as a pilot kept the mech from slamming into the ground.

Clouds started to form and panic broke out.

Sayla unloaded on the Crossbone Vanguard. Chronicle was glad they had gotten the focus of her ire.

Thomas found himself the unlucky contestant on "See if your mech makes a good lightning rod for a Thunder Break' and he wondered where he could get some of those mass produced Great Mazingers.

While the relief that Zabine had felt at avoiding that infamous attack died as the Tallgeese III used its heat road on his mech. The beam shield didn't really help as the whip wrapped around the Berga Giros.

"So you think the Crossbone Vanguard is anything more than a flash in the pan?" Zechs remarked.

"Far better than Oz or Sanc ever could be!" Zabine proclaimed.

The Lightning Count only tightened the squeeze on the mobile suit.

A barrage of fire from the Serpents saved Zabine from being crushed to death.

Zabine made sure to get away from the Tallgeese III as fast as his mech could go. Inwardly rage bubbled and churned in the Crossbone Vanguard pilot for being so humiliated like that.

The leg of his mech flying off after being shot by Mazinkaiser SKL had cold sweat go down Zabine's back. Then an arm flew off and he realized Ryo Magami was toying with him.

Mu just hoped that action won't bite them in the butt as the devastated mech tried to get away.

Mu opened fire with the Zorin Soul's beam rifle and Vayeate mobile doll blocked the shot.

Kira flew in with the Aile Strike and attacked the mobile doll with the Schwert Gewehr from the Sword Striker. There were sparks as the beam and physical sword combo hit the Vayeate.

"We are going to need to work on his technique," Tetsuya commented.

"I can see that," Bullet agreed.

A barrage of fire from the Serpents got their attention and was something that they would learn to regret.

That Sailor Galaxia could hurt their Neo Titanium mechs made them a lot more scared.

That the rounds Darleen 2.0 fired were made of Neo Titanium increased that fear even more.

The world conquering idea was losing its luster to the Serpent pilots as they found it wasn't going to be as easy as they hoped.

Also the massive gun of the Nu Gundam among other things scared them.

If they could see the expressions of the Death Caprice Squad and the Getter pilots they'd even more frightened.

The Neotitanium of the Serpents found itself stress tested as Mazinger Z unleashed its rocket punches, and then flew in and reattached the fists. Koji then fired the fists again and let a Serpent have it with the Breast Fire and the missiles in the upper arm of Mazinger Z.

The material claimed to be as tough and durable as gundamium theta looked rather beaten by the barrage it had taken.

The pilots of the Serpents felt a lot less sure and a lot more worried now.

Yzak laughed. "Hey you guys got anything that would even scratch the paint on a mech with phase shift?"

Several Serpents answered that by firing their beam cannons.

"Good," Yzak commented as he dodged the attack. "I didn't want it to be easy."

He then introduced them to the business end of the rail bazooka that the Duel had. Yzak was amused that the rounds he was firing were also made of Neotitanium.

The Serpents did not stand up well to something made of the same material as their mechs. Nor did they do well against the Aegis hacking them with the four beam sabers.

Athrun considered this bunch to be nothing special. Their hardware was top of the line, but that was the only thing that stood out.

They also were shocked when the Blitz was able to decloak, fire, and recloak like a Klingon starship.

Ron was glad they were doing that, but he kept a very close eye on the green and silver mecha. He was waiting to see them make a make a move beyond sending in mobile dolls.

The green and silver Vayeate then opened fire on Harry.

"Be proud I considered you over that maniac or that fool to be the first person I kill to impress my parents," Delphini growled.

"Death Eaters in mecha?" Harry gasped.

"There is no way you can defeat us!" Delphini yelled. "Now that we have mecha of our own."

"What to bet?" Neville remarked with an insane Getter smile on his face.

Suddenly the Black Getter started to glow with Getter Radiation. The glow got brighter and brighter as the energy collected. Soon it was impossible to look directly at the Getter as it glowed like the sun.

"Are...are they doing what what I think they are?" Amuro gasped.

"Looks like it," Ryoma grinned.

"What….what is…" Delphini gasped as even with the implanted mecha piloting skills she had no idea what the Getter was doing.

"Shine…." Neville called out.

"Spark!" Benkei and Kei yelled with Neville.

The Black Getter took off and looked like a glowing comet as it made a beeline for the Vayeate. At the last moment the aura of Getter Rays flew off the Black Getter and slammed into the Vayeate. There was a massive explosion and the gundanium theta made mech looked like it had barely avoided complete destruction due to what it was made of.

"Are you alright?" Thomas asked his daughter with naked concern in his voice.

"I'm still alive," Delphini said after a moment. "Which is the best we can do I guess."

"And that machine...isn't even the most powerful of the Getter Robos," Thomas gasped.

Suddenly all four people who had attacked the Longbottoms had this feeling that perhaps they would have been safer in prison than in the crosshairs of the Black Getter. Something that made the Black Getter looking at them reinforced.

"Oh I am going to enjoy this," Neville cackled.

"That's not good," Barty admitted as he remembered the Getter pilots not being this unhinged and psychotic.

Bellatrix felt a cold chill go down her spine as the Black Getter raised it's knuckled fist at her mech.

"Neville show them what Getters do to mobile suits," Hayato ordered.

Rodolphus LeStrange even with his implanted mech training found his Sinkhole Zaku III missing an arm before he knew what hit him. The arm that had been holding a beam rifle at that.

Rabastan LeStrange barely avoided having his Sinkhole Zaku III beheaded by the Black Getter and its Getter Tomahawk. The top of the head of his mech still got cut off however.

Barty was able to react in time to avoid having the spiked knuckle of the Getter strike the cockpit of his Nobusshi. However the arm he used cover the torso as he moved to the right now was trashed.

The Titania took a kick to the face, and something about the eyes of the Getter promised Bellatrix a very prolonged and painful death.

The cape of the Black Getter then billowed around the mech like a cloak and Getter Rays struck the pair of Sinkhole Zaku IIIs, the purple Nobusshi, and the Titania.

Things got worse for the four as the Black Getter started moving extremely fast and right at Rabastan's Sink Zaku III. There was a loud crack just before the tomahawk of the Getter cut the Zaku in half.

Thomas realized that his Death Eaters were having the past come back to bite them hard, and he might want to get some Getters along with those Great Mazingers he wanted. He was going to need all the weapons he could get to hopefully survive all this.

The pilot of the Hurricane Sazabi then barely avoided being hit with a hyper beam saber. Thomas wasn't surprised Volunteer Ensign Potter wanted to kill him.

"That Rezel is no match for my Sazabi," Thomas remarked. "No matter what those maniacs had done to upgrade it."

"And who said I was fighting alone?" Harry retorted as the Cybuster unleashed a barrage of missiles.

Thomas was very sure Harry Potter was going to use the Death Eater tactic of bring more people and firepower to the fight against him. Or if he wasn't the Londo Bell pilot would have no objections against it being done anyway.

'Both the children that could be the chosen one to defeat that angry cloud of rage are becoming more dangerous by the day,' Thomas thought to himself as worry filled his stomach. 'I am going to need far more than some upgraded mobile suits to fight them.'

That there was a good chance that going public like this was very bad for his health. He was going to need to make alliances, and access to the more powerful weapons those alliances would bring. His Death Eaters were good, but not good enough for this.

While Harry wondered where what had to be something like the diary had been and what person came across it. It was the only reasonable way a new version of Voldemort was facing him.

If that was the case Harry needed to end this version of Voldemort to lay to rest what soul lost their life to the empty promises of that maniac.

Thomas then saw the main gun of Harry's Rezel and considered that maybe he was a bit hasty on saying it wasn't a match for his Sazabi. The heavy burst of energy made Thomas definitely feel a bit undergunned.

One of the arms of the Titania hit the Hurricane Sazabi.

"Don't think I won't attack you too," Neville growled.

"I wonder if this is what having kids is like," Ryoma mused as he introduced several Gundam Alex mobile dolls to Getter tomahawks.

"You having children is frightening," Dearka commented.

"I also have a girlfriend," Hayato remarked.

"Oh god…." Yzak gasped.

That amused Hayato.

"The world is doomed," Nuke gasped.

"Utterly doomed!" Mucha agreed.

Hayato just laughed in amusement at their actions.

Kaworu just groaned in annoyance. These people were all mad, and of course the king of madness was waiting for his mech to be ready.

No one was thinking Sanger was going to sit out this fight any longer than it took to get his mech ready to go.

A fact that Thomas, and the others were well aware of.

"We have to," Thomas started before a massive dark blue, gold and red mech exited one from a structure that rose up out of the ground.

The massive sword it had in its hands made it even more clear who the pilot was.

All the Death Eaters had this feeling they had never fought a man like the one who had just entered the fight.

"CHESTO!" Sanger called out as he sliced through the damaged Vayeate. Delphini not being a fool had gotten out of the mech with a loud pop. Moments after that the mech exploded.

Thomas didn't feel his chances to avenge his daughter were very good even with his upgraded mech as the new mech of Sanger Zonvolt was a lot taller than the Hurricane Sazabi and had the signature weapon of the Sword that Pierces Evil in hand.

If it wasn't a bad time Rodolphus would consider the living embodiment of his wife's infidelity gone to be something to cheer about. He held no good feelings to his Master's daughter and had no issues with her having been killed by a giant sword.

"Sanger Zonvolt...the Sword that Pierces Evil," Barty growled as so many memories involving the man and his role in beating him across many worlds and lifetimes came to mind.

Escaping defeat after defeat meant having to deal with that officer. He seemed to be haunting him along with the SRX team. He hated Sanger and the SRX team, and hated always having groups like this be they called Londo Bell, the Alpha Numbers, or the Steel Dragons.

They had to die this time. An act Gozzo had to admit was not going to be easy. Especially as the Black Getter wasn't done yet.

Barty had to work hard to avoid being destroyed by the rapid fire barrage of missiles the Black Getter was firing. Gozzo had no idea how easy he had it with the Getter team before this fight. Or that he didn't have to face the pair that acted a lot like the maniac Getter pilots.

Bellatrix was surprised a bit she actually felt something on what happened to Delphini. That she cared about her daughter from another time and place.

"Well this didn't go as planned," Thomas commented as they had failed to keep Sanger from getting his new mech.

There was then a sudden barrage and yet another mech showed up. This one black and red with a cape.

"This is more than I expected," Bellatrix remarked as her mech had been damaged by the new unit.

Of course that the Titania still was in more or less one piece spoke of its rugged construction.

"Wait until you hear Coop sing," Ryoma commented with a smile. "You will never forget it no matter how hard you try."

Thomas wondered why that scared him as much as it did. He also hoped to not find out what that singing sounded like.

The fact it gave him any emotion disturbed Thomas.

"Fall back," Thomas ordered as he blocked the hyper beam saber of Harry's Rezel. "There is nothing we can do here."

The Death Eaters didn't need to be told twice, and were actually pensive as this wasn't like their reign of terror of the Wizarding World. Those with the courage to fight them and the ability to hold their own was very new and scary experience for them.

Not that the Crossbone Vanguard, Zanscare Empire, or the Mariemaia Army felt any better as they tried to pull back as well.

Watching the fight from a safe distance were several mechs and most looked a lot like the R-1.

The R-Eins were a mass production version of the R-1 and not exactly a local copy.

There also was what looked like a Gundam that was based off the Gundam Alex.

The pilot of one of that Gundam was not exactly human. Kamui Sho was only half human, and had reptilian traits which made it clear he was half Dinosaur. He also was able to handle his extremely powerful mobile suit with ease.

And yet Kamui felt he wasn't in the proper machine. That what he should be piloting should be more powerful than even the Zeta prototypes.

The Getters had become a lost art given Professor Saotome had gone mad, and Hayato Jin had to be eliminated like Saotome. Of course Professor Shikishima hadn't had his body found so who knew if that mad scientist was dead or alive.

Count Broken's face appeared on a monitor.

"So different and yet the same isn't it in a lot of ways?" Broken mused.

"Indeed it is," Kamui remarked. "Who knew the pilot of the original Gundam would be able to prove he was his father's son and design his own Gundam."

"Also it is very strange to see..him… not in his own custom made mech," Broken noted.

"Or for Zonvolt to still be alive there," Kamui admitted.

"That is a surprise," Broken admitted. "Probably give Woden some mental issues."

Kamui had no doubt about the Shadow Mirror reuse of a dead soldier like that seeing the original alive and well would cause an existential crisis for W whatever he was.

That was something that they were sure to be interesting.

There also was the fact the one in the orange mobile suit seemed like those that ran from Beowulf.

The fact Cooplawski and Beowulf both had counterparts in the fight in front of them was very interesting.

It made them wonder what the end result of the pair facing their mirror versions would be.
