Barry Allen now stood in the middle of Chicago, which was currently being overrun by Decepticon ships and Decepticons themselves. In the middle of the street were two lone Cybertronians stood. One older one, crouched down, with one hand on a double sided sword and his other hand on a shield. The other was carrying an axe in his left hand, and a retractable sword on his right wrist.
"I bring you Cybertron. Your home, and still you choose humanity," The older, red Cybertronian known as Sentinel Prime said. Optimus Prime, the other red and blue Cybertronian, said "You were the one who taught me freedom is everyone's right," Optimus charged forward, ready to strike Sentinel, only to stop at the sight of Barry Allen standing between them, levitating in the air.
"A human," the Sentinel said in shock, Barry's powers surprising him. The Transformer's timeline hadn't molded into New-Earth's timeline like the others, but merely slapped itself in. "What are you?" Sentinel asked. Barry grinned, and in less than a second, Sentinel was crushed to the size of a tin can.
"There is no word for what I am," Barry said, a little less certain than the last time he had said those words. "Some would consider me a god, but I am much more. Optimus Orion Prime. You are among all the most brave, loyal, and caring Cybertronian in existence. That is why I am glad to give you this," In Barry's hand was now the Matrix of Leadership.
"The Matrix of Leadership," Optimus said in shock. "It was destroyed during my battle with the Fallen and Megatron. How?"
"I can create objects out of thin air," Barry said as he placed the Matrix in Optimus' chest, before realizing the battle was still in progress. "Ah yes...them," he said, referring to the Decepticons. He merely waved his hand, watching as the Decepticon's vanished, and the city was repaired, leaving everyone looking around in shock.
"Who the hell are you?!" Sam Witwicky exclaimed as he, his girlfriend, and several NEST members approached Barry and Optimus. "Are you with them?!" One of the soldiers asked, his and the others' weapons aimed at him.
"I see now why so many aliens hate Earth. We really aren't the best at first contacts," Barry said, erasing their weapons from existence before touching down on the ground, approaching the group. "You all fought bravely today, and risked your lives for the entirety of Earth,"
"Umm...who are you?" Carley Spencer, Sam's girlfriend asked.
"I, am Barry Allen," Barry replied, shaking her and Sam's hands before saluting the NEST soldiers. "As you can see, I am far from ordinary, but I am human. Now, before you ask me what I am, I am not exactly sure. There is no word for what I am,"
"God," Carley said.
"No. I met him though, nice guy. I'm at least...three dimensions higher than him," Barry said, shocking all of them. "The point is, I came here to warn you,"
"Of what?" Sam asked.
"Space, time, and reality are not what you remember. This universe, along with hundreds more have been added to mine. The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are being colonized, space travel is commercial, aliens exist, organizations, people, and tech have been added to the universe. Cybertronians are new to this universe, so for your safety, I have added Cybertron to the Sol System, with it an array of defenses to keep your people from harm. You will be able to make contact with humans, but nothing will be able to harm your people," Barry told Optimus.
"How can we repay you?" Optimus asked.
"Do not, by any means attack humans," Barry said. "They are unforgiving, and are likely to find a way to destroy your entire community. Now go, my ship is located just outside of the city, where it will take you to Cybertron," Barry nodded, and suddenly disappeared.
SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS
Reappearing nanoseconds later in the Scottish highlands, where a large castle ruin occupied the forest. He moved forward, his mind easily bypassing the muggle-repelling charm. Barry watched as the castle ruins were immediately rebuilt in front of him, becoming a full fledged castle. Chanting filled his ears as he neared the Quidditch field, where the Third Task was underway.
He watched as a red light filled the sky, before the chanting started once again, filling the air with noise. He levitated up and above the bleachers, but out of sight. "HARRY! CEDRIC! KRUM! DELACOUR!" The chantings screamed.
He moved forward, invisible to prying eyes as he landed in front of the Triwizard Tournament's Triwizard Cup. Barry watched as Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory charged forward, trying to reach the cup first. The two stopped directly in front of it. "Go! Go on, take it. You saved me, take it!" Cedric shouted, motioning for Harry to grab the cup.
"Together!" Harry shouted. "One, two...three!" The two reached for the cup. Acting in a millisecond, Barry pushed Cedric away from the cup, allowing Harry to grab it alone, and be teleported.
RIDDLE FAMILY BURIAL SITE
Barry Allen and Harry Potter now stood in the middle of a large and abandoned graveyard, Harry completely unaware of Barry's presence. "Harry Potter, alone at last. No friends to save you now," Peter Pettigrew said as he forced Harry onto the statue. "Bone of the father...unwillingly given." Wormtail threw a large bone into a large cauldron before continuing. "Flesh of the servant...willingly sacrificed," Much to Barry and Harry's disgust, Wormtail withdrew a knife from his robe, and cut his hand off, dropping it into the cauldron.
"And blood of the enemy…" Wormtail moved towards Harry and cut into his arm, drawing blood, before dipping it into the cauldron. "...forcibly taken. The Dark Lord shall rise...again," As soon as Wormtail said this, he dropped Voldemort's deformed body into the cauldron, which quickly dissolved to reveal a newly formed Tom Marvolo Riddle.
"My wand, Wormtail," Wormtail squirmed, pulling a white wand out of his robe, before handing it over to Riddle.
"Hold out your arm," Wormtal nodded, holding out his injured arm, before Voldemort growled. "The other arm, Wormtail," Wormtail squeaked, holding out his good hand, which held a Dark Mark. Voldemort pressed his wand against it, and in less than a minute, an army of followers appeared around the graveyard.
"Welcome, my friends. Thirteen years it's been, and yet...here you stand before me as though it were only yesterday," Voldemort said, before lowering his bald head. "l confess myself...disappointed. Not one of you tried to find me," He moved around, pulling off the masks of his followers. "Crabbe! Macnair! Goyle! Not even you...Lucius,"
The blonde man whimpered. "My Lord, had l detected any sign, a whisper of your whereabouts-"
"There were signs, my slippery friend," Voldemort interrupted, Lucius' eyes shutting in fear. "And more than whispers,"
l-I assure you, my Lord, l have never renounced the old ways. The face l have been obliged to present each day since your absence...that is my true mask," Lucius pointed out.
"I returned," Wormtail said proudly.
"Out of fear, not loyalty. Still, you have proved yourself useful these past few months, Wormtail," Voldemort grinned, sliding his wand over Wormtail's arm, watching as a silver hand grew in his old hands place.
"Thank you, master. Thank you," Wormtail backed away.
"Harry," Voldemort said in realization. Spotting the child on the statue. "l'd almost forgotten you were here. Standing on the bones of my father. Yes, l'd introduce you...but word has it you're almost as famous as me these days. The boy who lived," He said mockingly. "How lies have fed your legend, Harry. Shall l reveal what really happened that night 13 years ago? Shall l divulge how l truly lost my powers? Yes, shall l? lt was love," Riddle said simply.
"You see, when dear, sweet Lily Potter gave her life for her only son...she provided the ultimate protection. l could not touch him. lt was old magic. Something l should have foreseen. But no matter, no matter. Things have changed.
l can touch you...now," Voldemort demonstrated by poking Harry's forehead, producing a painful whence from Harry.
"Yes. Astonishing what a few drops of your blood will do, eh, Harry?" Voldemort released Harry, who quickly fell to the ground in front of his wand. "Pick up your wand, Potter. l said, pick it up! Get up! Get up!" Harry did as he was told, picking up his holly wand before standing to his feet. "You've been taught how to duel, l presume, yes? First, we bow to each other. Come on, now, Harry. The niceties must be observed. Dumbledore wouldn't want you to forget your manners, would he? l said, bow," Voldemort forced his wand down, resulting in Harry's back arching in pain.
"That's better. And now…" Before Voldemort could continue, Barry stopped time, and examined the situation. He knew Voldemort was going to perform the Cruciatus Curse on the young wizard, and he wasn't going to let that happen. He had replaced Harry in the cutting, strung Harry's nerves to induce pain during Voldemort's poke, and was ready for the plan to come out. Voldemort couldn't really hurt Harry, and that was the idea.
Barry moved forward, now visible, pushing Harry out of harm's way, before taking a defensive stance against Riddle.. Sure, he could end the asshole in a single nano-second, but he wanted to make this interesting. "Ah...a new challenger approaches. Who are you muggle?"
"Oh, I'm no muggle," Barry said before firing multiple spells at Voldemort wandless and wordlessly. "WHO ARE YOU?!" Volddemort shouted before being disarmed by Barry, who caught the dark lords wand, before snapping it in half.
"My name is Barry Allen, and you know what?" Barry asked.
"KILL HIM!" Voldemort ordered. Harry went wide eyed as the Death Eaters all aimed their wands at Barry, who grinned. Before any word was spoken, Barry balled up his fist, and slammed it into the ground, shouting "PROTEGO DIABOLICA!" A wave of black fire erupted around them, incinerating all but Barry, Harry, Voldemort, and Wormtail.
"NO!" Voldemort shouted. Wormtail attempted to shift into a rat, but was suddenly teleported into a jar that Barry now held in his left hand. He placed said jar in his jacket, before picking Voldemort up by the throat. With his free hand, he grabbed Harry, and teleported them back to the stadium, where Cedric Diggory, Victor Krum, and Fleur Delacour, Albus Dumbledore, and many others were waiting.
"Oh my god! That's You Know Who!" Someone from the crowd shouted. "Harry's alive!" Another shouted. "Who's that with them?!" Someone asked.
"Harry, are you ok?" Dumbledore asked as Barry shoved Voldemort to the ground. Before Harry could respond, Barry spoke above the crowd. "People of Hogwarts! Durmstrang! Beauxbaton! This is Tom Marvolo Riddle! Or Lord Voldemort!" Barry shouted, grinning as many people cringed at the name. "He has killed many, and deserves justice, but Azkaban will not do. I have another method! A pocket universe!"
"What do you mean?" Dumbledore asked. "And who are you?" Barry sighed, knowing it was complicated. So, he snapped his fingers, the entire 'duel' against Voldemort as well as the events before entering the crowds mind. "As for my idea! I am a higher being capable of many things," Barry demonstrated by speeding around the crowd, enhancing his size, constructing a wand from thin air, and flying, before continuing.
"I can create, destroy, and manipulate universes, and the only way for Voldemort to pay for his crimes without killing him is sending him to his own prison universe!" Barry shouted.
"How can we trust you?" Professor Minerva McGonagall asked.
"This is nonsense," Severus Snape said.
"He saved my life," Harry added.
"Hmm," Dumbledore said, stroking his beard slightly, before nodding. Barry nodded before Voldemort suddenly disappeared. "As for you," Barry said, grabbing Mad Eye Moody by the throat, the entire crowd watching as the man morphed back into Barty Crouch Jr. Barry pushed the fugitive forward, and into auror hands. "And," Barry pulled the jar out of his pocket, the rat known as Wormtail squirming around.
"I believe this is the key to Sirius Black's freedom," He handed it to Dumbledore, who nodded, and trotted off to the Minister of Magic regarding Sirius.
"Who are you?" Barry turned to find the golden trio. Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Neville Longbottom. Hermione asked. "How could you do those things?"
"Well, you see, I'm what you would call a 'Boundless Entity'. Not bound by the laws of the universe, physics, and even the Multiverse," Barry said. "Come, walk with me," He said, motioning for the three, McGonagall, Snape, and the other three champions to follow him. "You see, twenty one years ago, I was struck by lightning, and given superpowers. Just recently, I was murdered by my arch-enemy, and sent to a higher plane of existence, the Fourth Dimension. There, I became a god, and was sent back to Earth,"
"What happened?" Neville asked.
"Catastrophe. An old enemy of mine from years ago came back into existence from the Source, where all things come to be. She consumed the entire universe, leaving only myself and several other survivors. We restarted the universe, and defeated her. All was peaceful...until today,"
"What...happened?" McGonagall asked.
"I was split into two halves due to an alien bacteria known as the Kharaa Bacterium. Good and Bad. I fought myself tirelessly, destroying several planets in the solar system in the process. My evil self and I were pulled through a black hole, and ended up in a world set in World War II. I was forced to kill my evil self, which refused us, and gave me a major power boost. I ended the war there and came back,"
"So…" Snape said.
"So, when I came back, the timeline had changed drastically. Yours and many other universes were added to my own, creating a large and very confusing timeline," Barry said. "This new Earth is set at least 50,000 years ahead of normal time. Muggles have colonized two arms of the galaxy, the entire solar system, several colonies in the Andromeda galaxy, and superpowers and aliens exist,"
"Can you give us these powers?" Cedric asked.
"Why would he? When he can keep it all to himself?" Ronald Weasley asked as he joined the group. Barry frowned, before sighing. "He is right, I will not give you these powers, but his reasoning is...well, let's just say it is severely influenced by jealousy,"
"Hey!" Ron yelled, his wand aimed at Barry in seconds. The scarlet speedster merely laughed, before turning away. "Hey! Face me coward!" Barry sighed, facing Ron, who fired a curse at the Flash. It merely passed through him and into a nearby tree. "W-What…"
"You know Ron, when I said I was a being that was beyond the universe itself, I thought you would be smart enough to think I'm intangible," Barry said, shrugging it off as he led the group back to the castle.
"So...v'at now?" Krum asked.
"I ask myself that question a million times per nanosecond. I guess...keep an eye out for anything. A new threat is coming, I know it," said Barry.
"How?" Hermione asked.
"I can't see everything. There's something blocking my path, and I don't know what it is," Barry said. "My ability to function as a boundless entity is near ending, and I need to disrupt this barrier before I lose my abilities for...ever…" He turned around to face them, a grin on his face as a small breach appeared to his left. At once, a barrage of Barry Allen's jumped into the breach, creating a line of Flash's that stretched through space and time.
"Um...what did you just do?" McGonagall asked.
"I split my aiua through space and time, so I can never fall," Barry said. "This isn't my last stop, so I need to go. Stay aware. Constant vigilance!" In less than a nanosecond, he was gone, leaving the group behind.
CAMP HALF-BLOOD
Barry Allen now stood in the middle of a large forest, his Flash suit illuminating the sunlight as he stepped through the dirt. He approached the large Pine Tree sitting in the middle of the forest, the tree that powered everything at Camp Half-Blood. Barry moved forward, placing his palm on the bark of the tree, sending as much power as he could into it.
"Take your hands off of the tree!" Barry grinned, turning around to face the voice, only to find three people staring at him. Two boys, one half goat, and the other had black hair and blue eyes. The third was a girl, with dirty blonde hair and even bluer eyes. "Percy Jackson, Grover Underwood, Annabeth Chase," Barry named, surprising the three demi-gods.
"You know us?" Percy asked.
"I know everything Percy," Barry said, his voice echoing through the forest as he adjusted the HUD lenses on his cowl. Telepathically, he called out to Cortana and Gideon. "Activate the Babel Protocol," At once, his cowl locked into place.
"Who are you? And how did you get past the gate?" Grover asked.
"Well, I'm...not a god...not a demi-god...not a mortal...no...I am a Parabrahman. Something beyond life, existence, and the universe," Barry said. "I have come to warn you. Things in this universe are not what they used to be. Hundreds of universes and timelines have been added to my own, including yours,"
"Wait, the Multiverse is real?" asked Annabeth.
"Absolutely, but I am not talking about the Multiverse, I am talking about the Megaverse, a collection of Multiverses. It was destroyed, and all that was left was this Multiverse, which were combined after my mistake," said Barry.
"Your mistake?" Grover asked.
"I was recently split into two halves, we fought, and ended up in another universe. When I came back, hundreds of universes had fused with my own, including yours," Barry said. "I just wanted to warn you of the consequences of my actions. New threats, new allies, crisis', and celebrations. Stay safe, and remember...constant vigilance is key," In a flash of light blue...he was gone.
