Had to go back to college, and after being stuck in Atlanta for far too long, I found my dorm had been flooded out (No damages though) and I now have a new room, and a roommate as classes start up again. Time to adjust is needed
I now announce a contest that is open from this chapter until the end of this round of Harry X (Which depends on how long it is necessary to tell the story of the Amazon's latest encounter with the world) that I believe all of you reviewers will enjoy.
See, I have approximately 61 challenges, and I desire to see people write as many of them as possible, so here it is; if at least two people write at least one chapter based on one of my challenges explicitly for this challenge, whoever does the best one I will do a one chapter short on virtually anything they want.
Dark Harry, Female Harry, even Harry/Draco. I will admit that there are certain things I will not do (Having to write Harry Potter; homophobic serial killer being one of them, or a lemon because of greater story concern [deletion] and my lack of skills at them).
So, hopefully enough people are still reading this to actually have two people spare a glance at the challenges something up. If not, I have some ideas for a one shot to go between Harry X and Worlds War Harrys, including one involving Snape invading Harry's dreams and another where the Death Eaters compete in the 'Evil Olympics'.
61394: What happened to the Potter Grands in Harry X Earth isn't necessarily the same thing, and in theory you can remix a Vernon clip into Chipmunk if you want to see it.
Poarter: See the contest I mentioned earlier. If you and one other person do at least one chapter of any of my challenges, I will do a one shot chapter (Akin to Luna the Devil) of anything you request.
Guest: Marker? Gravemind?
Random: Again, I have no plans to give Ron powers. He is a Krillin among Saiyans, as I believe the term goes
Guest: Write a chapter based on one of my challenges and I will do it.
Okay, recently I was talking with a potential beta for my stories, and he mentioned to me that a problem with this reading story is a lack of depth to the characters. So, now that I have been pointed that out, I'm going to use this chapter to give some background on the upcoming introduction of Wonder Woman, how she and the amazons are connected to the Marvel Universe here, and how her appearance will affect magic. Hope you will read it and enjoy. It is also done a bit old school; see in a lot of my earlier chapters, I wrote the story, then the out of story dialogue. I hadn't done that in a while, so lets see if there is noticeable differences.
Now, lets see if the lack of reviews was due to the fillerish nature of that last chapter; Hogwarts Main Hall
"What exactly is an amazon?" A first year asked as Hermione, by default, began explaining.
"In Greek mythology, the Amazons were a tribe of warrior woman known for brutally killing men. They were said to live..."
Dean coughed "Sorry to stop your ramble Hermione, but let me finish for the comic amazons we're witnessing here"
Hermione stopped talking, but looked depressed she could not show that she was smart and had worth as a result.
"In the comics, the Amazons live on the island of Themiscyra, and all have super strength, speed and stamina, as well as extensive warrior training. However, the amazon Wonder Woman is the strongest of them all, having been made out of clay and blessed by the gods. In some comic stories, she even has enough strength to move small planetary bodies.
With the aid of Superman and the Martian Manhunter, even the earth could be moved.
Draco gulped a little; did he count as a death eater at the moment in that verse "Anything else?"
"She had a magic lasso that can force people to tell the truth, bracelets capable of reflecting bullets and she, along with the rest of the amazons, may be bisexual, and or into BDSM"
"What's BDSM?" Ginny questioned as Molly beat everyone to it
"NO!"
"See Ginny..." Fred began
"NO!"
"Oh come on" George complained "A little..."
"NO!":
Some No's aside, there was a story to begin
WW2; the past; the Island of the Amazons
"What kind of girl are you? You look funny"
A much younger version of the amazon from last chapter, looking about as old as Ginny during Harry's first year was staring at a slightly younger version of Captain America, who was on the island. standing on the beach as if waiting for someone.
Before the quite flustered Captain had to give an impromptu discussion on boys and quite possibly The Talk while he was at it, he was spared.
"Lucky bastard" Arthur muttered
"Am I the only one who found that question to be somewhat cute?" Tonks asked
"He's not a woman my daughter" the little girl turned around as the good Captain bowed respectfully. "He is a man I wish to meet with
"The Justice Society, the Allied Powers and myself are honored that you are willing to ally yourself with us, Queen Hippolyta"
The woman approaching looked nearly perfectly like what the little daughter would resemble in 2015, but with blond hair. She walked with a certain sort of grace, quite regal inf fact, yet looked like she could wrestle a troll and live. Like her daughter at this point, and in the current timeline, she was dressed in a Greek casual dress, equally ready to run, lounge or wrestle a bear in
She was of beyond human beauty, though not to a Veela's level.
Cat whistles and stares abounded from the young men in the room, and more than one girl
"Yes, the amazons are hot" Dean noted
"It is a queen's duty to protect her people, and the Nazi's as you call them have managed to somehow enter our island once, I shall not allow them to do so again. I have agreed to join your 'Justice Society' for the duration of this war Captain, but I do not bow to you or any other man..."
She stopped her response, tailored for the men she had met before, as the uniformed man before her just smiled.
"I don't ask you to be subservient to anyone Queen Hippolyta. I ask for someone to stand alongside me and the rest of the Justice Society as equals. We need all the help we can get"
Hippolyta gave the Captain a look of respect for his response "That you do Captain, that you do. Though I do believe that you can at least say you have at least one friend in higher places; for most recently the god Hephestus has granted us a most powerful set of armor, which has a color scheme I do beleive you will find most charming. Now come, let me show you"
As she turned to leave, she saw the Captain had not moved from his spot
"What's wrong you...man..." the little amazon seemed to have trouble saying the new word "Mother said to follow her"
The Captain just scratched the back of his head, embarrassed "Truth be told ma'am, I wasn't sure I could go farther into the island without being shot at with arrows"
"He's paranoid" Lucius noted
"No, no he is not" Moody and Dean said at once, before the two stared at one another.
After about three seconds, Dean looked away as Moody smirked
The queen grinned "As long as your with me, I can almost assure you that will not the case. Come, child, let us show the good Captain the armor from the Smith God himself"
The scene fast forwarded a few battles into the great war, as guns rang forth across the scared landscape that was once called Italy, where the Captain was currently hunched behind a stone wall as gun fire went off like a thousand firecrackers, with a few members of the JSA with him; a large red humanoid robot, a red body suited man with some blue lines and stars that was sort of resemblent of Cap and a youngish boy dressed up in colors far more closely resemblant to the Captain.
"Hmm, the original Human Torch, Bucky and...think that might be Steel" Dean wasn't all that familiar with JSA DC, and Steel wasn't the most well known
"Of all the times for the Pacific Front to ask to borrow Namor, Green Lantern and Flash" the kid snarked in a way sort of resemblant to Batman's sidekicks. "Torch, can you fly and possibly smoke that gun turret out?"
"Negative. This unit has suffered damage to flight mechanisms" The robot replied in a normal tone, not fitting their pinned status at all.
BOOM
A massive explosion blew up the rock wall to the side of them, with the sound of screaming soldiers ringing out in a melody of nightmare fuel.
"We're going to have to charge the gun nest, we can't allow any more of these men to die" Cap declared as the other adult human in the pin down position nodded in affirmation.
The kid, however, just looked alarmed and the robot monotoned "I calculate a 60% of complete death for this unit from such an action, and a 90% chance of at least one of of us not coming back whole"
"We're not more worth than this entire Platoon" Cap noted
Harry nodded, he agreed with the Captain on that one. He would make the same call if he had people who depended on him being harassed like that
"Foolish Gryffindor nonsense" Draco muttered
"The four of us are not worth the forty of them. Now, Steel and I will lead the charge while Torch provides cover fire..."
Bang Bang Bang
"AH!"
The bullet barrage seemed to be reflected off of something; right back into the nest with lethal accuracy.
Cautiously, Cap poked his head over the rocks to spot their savior, who placed her right arm on her hips and asked with a smirk.
"I hope I wasn't too late for the party boys?"
The blond queen was no longer dressed in ancient greek silk, but in a red armored unitard sort of thing that covered her torso, though in doing so showing off her quite prominent figure, decorated predominately end with a gold and white border on the top of the armor (sort of shaped like an eagle), with the bottom part being blue with white stars.
The previous cat whistling increased ten fold
The armor had been partially decorated, per an amazonian tradition, based on the national colors the amazon was aiding.
Non American themed was the golden tiara on her forehead, the glowing yellow lasso that hung from her left hip and the identical pair of metal bracelets on her wrists (Which, without pause, she used to deflect a sniper shot aimed at her and knocked it back at the shooter, causing the poor German smuck to fall from his ledge with a fatal anal injury)
Mr. Granger flinched. That was one of the worst places to be shot. All the fat and blood vessels in the buttocks made operation nearly impossible
"Your never to late, Wonder Woman" the Steel guy saluted "Now, I do believe we have some Italians to liberate?"
The timeline then fast forwarded once more, to Cap's last battle in the war
"Surrender skull, and perhaps the courts to be lenient!" Cap declared inside a fortress decorated in Nazi symbols and coated with highly advanced technology (For the 1940's).
Or the wizarding world for that matter. The look that Arthur Weasley had on his face was resemblent of his twins in a joke shop
Leading the half a dozen nazi's aiming guns at his head, was a imposing man who looked like a red skinned Voldemort, a being who was one of the few who made Voldemort seem like a nice guy.
Voldemort just stared at the muggle who looked like a knock off of him. Heads would roll for this insult
"Surrender? Why, Captain America, why would I surrender when I am on the very brink of victory. Power beyond your comprehension is within my grasp!"
"Yeah, I hope your not talking about that Grindel fellow" Cap had heard about that report from Dr. Fate. Some guy named Dumble...something beat the wizard nazi leader in a great wizarding duel.
Dumbledore had a merry smirk about that, though tinged with sadness
"That fool? Oh no, I have power far beyond magic at my fingertips!" from behind the red Voldemort came a brilliant blue light "The Tesserect shall grant the Nazi cause a power beyond even this very world!"
Everyone turned to Dean, who just shrugged "I can't tell you, never heard of it"
"Sounds like a good idea for a movie plot though" Luna suggested
"Comic book movies...the day people can make truly good comic book movies that actually look legit is the day that Iron Man is more popular than Spiderman or Wolverine"
"...Yeah, i think someone has been playing around with Zemo's experimental drugs a bit" Bucky deadpanned alongside the captain as the skull glared.
"I will enjoy stuffing your body into a furnace along with all the others who have annoyed me" the man turned to walk away as his minions began shooting at the Captain, who deflected the bullets with his shield.
While the Cap was distracted (As the men he sent would be defeated, of course), the Skull proceeded to go into the glowing blue light and pick up its source.
The blue light made the Skull's face an eerie purple as he held up a glowing cube "Now, let's see what happens when I attach you to one of Zemo's death rays. I'm sure London is a good place to show the amplified effects"
"Oh, your going to go kill hundreds in London, been there, done that you amateur" Voldemort admitted as if was nothing
'No, compared to the Red Skull, your the rookie Voldemort' Dean decided to think to himself about that remark, nerves and all.
Dumbledore picked that thought up, and gulped audibly. He suddenly wanted that Skull character to go away
However, as the diabolical freak of nature was about to make his escape, a glowing gold rope suddenly found itself tied up around him.
The skull freak promptly closed his eyes in exasperation "You should now by now, Fraulein, that I am beyond truth. Your little cowgirl toy doesn't work on me"
Wonder Woman appeared from the shadows, a sword drawn in her hands "Perhaps you are such a monster that even the gods can't even make you repent for your crimes against civilization, but you are still mortal. A sword through your black heart will suffice, though I will feel as though I will have to give the blade a exorcism afterwards"
Yes, the Red Skull was so evil that anything that touched him probably needed to be exorcised by a priest, a rabbi, oracle or some other religious leader to ensure it didn't come alive and spread evil.
The Captain found the habit to be somewhat annoying, but he appreciated the sentiment of Hippolyta's concerns.
"I feel that same way about anything the freak touches" Vernon admitted
"I could the same about anywhere a muggle breathes" Narcissa quipped
"Oh yes, killing me would solve your problems, but it easier said then done" the Skull noted as he squeezed the cube with his restrained hand.
Funny thing about squeezing objects whose power is quite capable of, in the wrong hands, of vaporizing a moon. When squeezed, they release a violent burst of energy.
Now, within a certain area of the cube, you were safe. Red Skull, sadly, took up the entire safe area.
Wonder Woman, on the other hand...
With a loud scream of pain, the blue energy slammed into the amazon queen with the force of a stampeding herd of Hippogriffs, knocking her into the wall just as the Captain ran into the room, having dealt with Skull's men.
As the Skull fled, the Captain kneeled before the heavily injured queen.
While her armor had protected her torso, the energy had severely burned her limbs with nasty blue burn marks. Quite severe at that, resembling the sort of injuries the Captain had noticed from living flamethrower victims.
Anyone in the room with a heart (and Snape) flinched.
"That looks painful" Fred commented
"Say, has Harry ever been burned?" George wondered. Harry had been bitten by a giant snake, nearly got his soul sucked out, abducted by death eaters, fell from great heights, knocked himself out fighting Voldemort, regularly annoyed Snape...
OH, the dragon. It probably burned him...or did it?
Harry didn't dignify their question with a response
"Bucky, radio for a medic!"
Present Day: Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Wolverine's non combat class
"...After that, well you know the story of Skull escaping over the North Atlantic, me being trapped in an iceberg for decades, Bucky dying...I am not going into any details on that" The Captain, now in the present day, had apparently been telling the students about his former Teammate (The class apparently being on the other super heroes of the world, taught by Wolverine, who had met most of them)
"Now, any questions?"
Captain soon learned that the newest student at Xavier's summer school (Who was attending classes mostly because she wanted to learn) asked too many questions sometimes
Hermione blushed as the teachers and her parents tried not to think that was the truth (Aside for Snape and Umbridge of course.)
"Yes?"
"Captain America, sir..." Hermione began
"You don't need to say Sir" he assured the young witch (He knew about Magic and that it was not to be spoken about in the vicinity of most) blushed
"How could a queen from a isolated island know how to speak english?"
Cap frowned "...Magic...?" he shrugged after he thought about it for a few seconds.
"Yes, like it's the answer to everything" Snape snarked as several people gave him confused looks.
"But, it is?" Pansy couldn't believe that anyone would say it wasn't the solution to everything.
"How strong was Wonder Woman compared to the Avengers? I heard that Spiderman can press 10 tons, and he's not even in the top tier of Avengers strength..."
Cap thought about that for a moment "I really can't give you an accurate judgement, but from what I do know, the average Amazon can lift similar amounts to Spiderman, while the Queen, due in part to her armor, had strength equivalent to Thor."
"...Whatever happened to Wonder Woman? Did you ever find out?"
Cap didn't want to be rude and tell the curious girl to stop talking "From what I heard about from Flash, apparently she returned home, she was too injured to go back into battle ever again. As far as I know, no amazon has left the island since, nor have they made themselves known to the outside world"
Not that Captain America liked that. With the way the world was right now, he could use another avenger, a Amazon would be more than helpful.
After all, he was quite sure that Hippolyta's little daughter was all grown up by now, and at a young age she had been quite capable of knocking over a tank the one time he had met her off the amazon's isle.
Thankfully, however, the Potter boy (Who Wolverine had mentioned earlier to him) asked a question about how the lasso worked so he didn't have to hurt the girls feelings.
Tartus, Syria
Iris West had been warned about the dangers of being a news reporter who went abroad for her stories.
Dean rose an eyebrow at the appearance of Barry Allen's wife. So, the Flash would pop up soon then?
However, it was one thing to be told that she could be held up by a group of Anti-West Insurgents, who had risen up everywhere in Syria as it had been torn apart in the wake of the destruction caused by the Iranian-Israeli war, and now were warring for the countries remains (After both that and its civil war, which had completely disintegrated both sides due to the Israeli and Iranian conflict)
It was another when they actually had a group of extremist gunmen aiming guns at you and swearing things in their native tongue that were unfriendly, and 30% warranted, 40% culture clash and 30% plain bigotry.
"Ba, savages" Vernon huffed
"Yes, their muggles?" Bella smirked at the put down
"Don't you kill people for fun though. That is generally the definition of savage..."
"SILENCE ELF!"
The red headed journalist slowly backed herself into a wall in the old sea side warehouse of the port city as the insurgents moved in closer.
Just knowing this would be the end, the woman closed her eyes in terror, just waiting for the trigger to be pulled, only for a different sent of noises to ring in her ears.
The sounds of punches and swords
Nervously, the reporter opened her eyes, to see a red armored torso, on a body tall enough that the breast were above her head (Though she had been slightly hunched over in terror).
Looking up and down the body, she found herself staring at someone in the same armor as the WW2 era super heroine, Wonder Woman, but with black hair, and, if possible, a better body.
She also looked very, very serious, and the small army of greek armored, scary looking woman with recently used spears and swords were equally so.
"Your are a news woman, are you not" the new Wonder Woman questioned the shocked red headed woman, who nodded, not sure what else to do in this situation.
"You will put us on one of those instant broadcast picture devices of yours immediately" this new Wonder Woman described a television, at least that was what Iris was pretty sure she was referring to "One of your world's magicals has committed a crime against the amazons, and we will see him handed over to us unless the nations of the world want the Amazons to tear their magical communities asunder"
Amelia just paled at the implications. This Wonder Woman was going to go on Muggle Television and demand the handing over of that death eater!? They must be aware of the Stature of Secrecy.
The Secrecy was officially screwed, and the scene pausing did not make her feel better about it.
Now, to get the contest jump started, a older challenge of mine for the challenge corner.
Challenge 26; Cover Up
A new interpretation of Harry's saving people thing, taking place after the Quidditch World Cup during fourth year. Due to Harry's tendency to investigate and find out things that do not concern him, stumbles upon the fact that Hermione is in a lesbian relationship with Ginny.
Harry gets sworn in to never tell...but then during the year after a polygamy law gets forced on the poor, poor last heirs (Cough Harry), he ends up being sought to help cover up Hermione and Ginny's relationship via this law.
And then Hermione's female friends also ask for similar help...
1; The Magical world needs to be more anti lesbian-gay and such than the most conservative area of the united states. They need to go further than the most radical Conservative. It must be a dangerous world for anyone who likes rainbows
2; On the Gryffindor fourth years, you must follow this scale from least to most bigoted against lesbians
Harry
Dean
Neville
Seamus
Ron
3; The following characters are to be homosexual; Hermione, Ginny, Susan, Hannah, Daphne, Tracey, Cho, Su. Be free to have more, but it has to be an even number with all paired to another.
4; Draco will not be Homosexual. If you are hellbent on it, he can be bisexual
5; Harry will be friends with said lesbian females. He would still be attracted to them, but a constant darker theme to the story is how it would be somewhat unrequited in a romantic sense. However, this can not be used to make him evil, angry at the girls to a abusive or unpleasant point, or anything but a slight angst factor.
6; Harry as commented above, should be attracted to girls
7; Other than these points, be free to freestyle.
Let's go my pretties
