Chapter 40: Second Chance
Author's note: Sorry this chapter is so long. I worked hard on it and I couldn't think of how to cut it in half. Enjoy.
"My name is Captain Sarah Lance. Me and my team were assembled by our former Captain, Rip Hunter, a Timemaster. Now we travel through time to detect and correct historical inaccurisms and make sure that historical events are supposed to go the way they're supposed to go. Our team may be a little dysfunctional. Maybe a little ragtag. But when push comes to shove, we always get the job done. But we always do it in the shadows of time travel history. So whatever you do, please, don't call us 'Heroes'; we are 'Legends'!"
The multicolored shockwave repulsed out from Voldemort's body in all directions. The shockwave moved at three times the speed of sound. And just as Voldemort had promised, it spared his servants.
In a fraction of a second the raw materials of everyone else's physical bodies were 'cancelled out' and neutralized by the wave of antimatter.
…?
?...All except for The Flash. When the wave came at him, his 'Speed Force' powers activated. When his powers activated, by his point of view, time had slowed down to the point where it nearly stopped, while he still moved at normal speed. He then saw the wave of antimatter moving towards him. He spun around and...he did what he does; HE RAN! Long streaks of yellow lightning trailing behind him. He ran as fast as he could. He ran and he ran and he ran. Just barely outrunning the wave. He ran with single-minded focus of only escaping the wave. Not thinking that his friends had just been killed, not thinking that the world was about to be destroyed, only that he had to escape the wave.
But then something happened. He runs so fast that suddenly he was no longer where he was anymore? He was somewhere else? And he didn't just run there, no, something else had happened. He looked back over his shoulder and saw that the wave was no longer there. He then decided to risk it; he stopped. He looked around. He had run all the way to Great Britain. He looked at the clock that was on the side of a shop that was there. The time of day seemed about right. He looked up in the sky and he saw the sun. The sun was in the right spot.
He then walks over to a pedestrian that was standing on a street corner reading a newspaper.
"Excuse me sir," said Barry Allen, "what is the date?"
"November 29th." answered the man in a British accent, confused to the question.
Barry then looked at his wrist watch.
"Oh, no!" said Barry in a combination of exasperation and reluctant resignation. "I did it again."
Barry Allen had just ran back in time. 24 hours.
At super speed he ran back to the DEO.
In minutes he ran across the Atlantic Ocean, then across the United States, through National City and into the DEO building.
He entered the room just as everyone was there to discuss the fact that all of their prisoners had been breached out of the holding area.
"Barry, there you are." said Wally West. "Where've you been? Where'd you go?"
Barry was about to open his mouth when he was interrupted by Edythe Cullen.
"He's just time traveled here from the future." said Edythe Cullen.
Everyone looked at each other with shocked expressions.
"How in the world did you do that?" asked Valerie Cullen.
"Sometimes when I run real fast I time travel, accidentally." said Barry.
"We didn't see you come here?" said Alice Cullen.
"In my past, your future, you were having difficulty seeing the future." said Barry. "We think it's Voldemort, he's been clouding everything, and I also have seen some very disturbing events."
"We lose." said Edward Cullen reading Barry's mind. "Voldemort succeeds in vaporizing the world with a wave of antimatter."
"If we know the future with 24 hours warning," said Bella, "maybe we could stop it."
"Unless we know how to stop it exactly, I don't think that the end result really will be any different."
"So what do we do?" asked Beau Swan.
Just then an alarm sounded in the control room.
"Director J'onzz, proximity alert, an alien spacecraft just materialized out of thin air right outside the building."
"All agents at alert status." said J'onn J'onzz.
"Sir, we are receiving a communication from the alien spacecraft."
"Put them on."
"They're asking us to meet them on the barren flats outside of the city."
"Tell them we'll meet them there." said Supergirl.
"Okay," said Barry Allen in extreme confusion, "this didn't happen before."
"It didn't?" asked Cisco.
"No," said Barry, "last time there was no proximity alert from an alien spacecraft. Something has changed; in this new timeline."
They went to the window that could see outside of the building where they saw the spacecraft.
"Hey, wait a minute." said Oliver. "That's the Waverider. The Legends spacecraft and time machine."
I'm sorry, Legends?" asked Valentine Cullen.
"The legends of tomorrow." said John Diggle. "Apparently they time travel throughout history to find and stop illegal time travelers and preserve the timeline."
"Cool." said Emmett Cullen.
They went to the barren flats outside of the city where the ship had landed and the crew disembarked.
Sarah Lance and the rest of her team approached Barry Allen.
"Barry, we got your message. Sorry, we weren't able to be here the last time."
"What last time?" asked Barry.
"We were a little busy, we were tracking an illegal time traveler in the old west, but as soon as we were done we were able to breach here a little over 24 hours from now. We saw the entire world get destroyed, but then we detected a 'temporal distortion' meaning another time traveler. We tracked it here."
"That was probably me." said Barry. "I tried to outrun the shockwave. But by accident ran so fast, I breached the time barrier. And went 24 hours into the past. I'm hoping to stop the destruction of the world."
"Normally, we prevent alterations in the timeline, but due to the apocalyptic destructiveness of the coming catastrophe we're willing to bend those rules on this part."
"So," said Ray Palmer, "we are going to stop a powerful sorcerer?"
"If we fail, this world will be destroyed." said Harry Potter.
"Then let's get to it."
Everyone who didn't know each other was introduced. The Legends were introduced to the Cullens and their doppelgangers, as well as Harry Potter and his friends. The Cullens and their doppelgangers were introduced to The Legends.
"This is Sarah Lance, Master Assassin, no powers, aka The White Canary." said Barry.
Sarah Lance stepped forward and inclined her head to Carlisle.
A tall bald man stepped forward with a mean stern face.
"This is Mick Rory, convict, bank robber, and arsonist, AKA Heatwave.
"So what exactly does he do?" asked Valentine Cullen.
Mick Rory then lifted his heat gun and said, "I like to burn things!"
He pointed his gun at a boulder that was lying on the ground and a flamethrower shot from the gun at the boulder where in seconds the boulder was melted down to molten lava.
Ray Palmer then step forward.
"This is Ray Palmer," said Oliver, founder of Palmer Tech Industries, anti vigilante, millionaire, humanitarian, philanthropist, AKA The Atom."
"And what does he do?" asked Eleanor Cullen.
Ray Palmer then pulled out a tiny little miniature humanoid toy robot from from his pocket where it then increased to his size and suited him up in seconds.
"Nice suit." said Tony Stark in fascination. "We should compare."
"This is Amaya Jiwe," said Oliver, magic user, aka Vixen. She can communicate with animals as well as call up animal spirits and use their abilities.
"Nathan Haywood. Historian, metahuman, AKA Steel."
He then turned his skin to metal as a demonstration of his abilities.
"Kind of like Iron Titan." said EJ Cullen.
"And Jefferson Jackson and Martin Stein, metahuman, two halves of a nuclear powered superhero, AKA Firestorm."
They were all about to go on with their conversation when suddenly they were approached by another person who materialize out of a breach. The man was wearing a suit and was bald.
Superman looked at him and put on an angry face.
"Lex Luthor!" Superman said statement of fact.
"What?" said Lex Luthor. "Aren't you glad to see me?"
"I will be glad to see you when you're back in a prison cell." said Superman.
Lex Luthor smiled and then raised his hands in surrender.
"Relax, I come in peace." said Lex Luthor.
"How did you escape prison?" asked Supergirl.
"He was breached out with all the others." said Edward reading his mind.
"A telepath reading my mind?" asks Lex Luthor. "That's not very polite. Can you please stay out of my head?"
"Can't." said Edward pointing to his temple with his finger. "It's always on. Can't turn it off."
"Anyhow." said Lex Luthor. "I just came here from the future. 24 hours in the future."
"How did you time travel back in time?" asked Sarah Lance.
"I pickpocketed the Death Eaters."
But before he could go on, Hermione raised her wand.
"Accio Time Turner."
A small hourglass with a chain came out of Lex Luthor's pocket and then flew into Hermione's hand.
"Hey, that's mine." said Lex Luthor.
"This is property of the Ministry of Magic." said Hermione.
"Why did you come here?" asked Superman.
"If you must know, I don't approve with the Dark Lord's methods. Also I didn't like my position among them."
"What happened?"
"As you are probably aware, the Dark Lord summoned all the enemies of his enemies." said Lex Luthor. "A rather generalized request to his magic, apparently I fell within the category. I was breached right out of my prison cell. While the Dark Lord was eager and pleased to have the reinforcements, I served no purpose among them, as I had no powers either magic, alien, or mutant."
"So he gave you menial duties and no authority with no possibility of improvment, if he didn't threaten to kill you first." said Harry Potter.
"You could say that." said Lex Luthor. "He sent the wave of antimatter throughout the world and I fell under his protection so it didn't affect me. I managed to get close to him on the grounds of serving him, and very subtly picked his pocket of the dimensional extrapolator, I managed to obtain some information among the servants about the Time Turner that one of the Death Eaters had stolen from the Ministry of Magic, and I managed to steal that too. It wasn't easy I was just about we found out and killed by them when I figured out how to use the thing and I sent myself back in time to this moment where I then used the extrapolator to teleport myself here."
"So you want to ally yourself with us?" said Supergirl with skepticism in a raised eyebrow. "You? Lex Luthor? The guy who's supposed to be in charge? The criminal mastermind who wants to destroy kryptonians and other superheroes because he thinks they're hoarding their powers?"
Lex Luthor gritted his teeth in anger while scrunched up his face as though trying not to let the word out of his mouth in answer to her question.
"Yes." said Lex Luthor. "And I may be a lot of things, but the last thing I want to do is destroy the Earth. And I don't want those guys to be in charge over me."
"So what good do you do us now?" asked Superman. "I assume you came here for more than just refuge and sanctuary from the Dark Lord in the future?"
"I know how to prevent the disaster from happening."
"Okay?" said Carlisle. "We're listening."
"You need to get close to the Dark Lord and catch him off guard, where then you need to disable the Omegahedron."
Everyone paused then thought about that for a moment.
"Without the Omegahedron, he will not be able to produce the wave of antimatter."
"We need to catch him off guard." said Harry Potter.
"I suppose you want something in return?" said J'onn J'onzz.
"I want out of prison, a full pardon."
"We can try and make arrangements to have your sentence reduced."
"No, I want out of prison."
"Compromise, exile to a small town were no one knows you."
Lex Luthor thought for a moment.
"I'll take it."
They all then went back to the DEO.
"Barry Allen, may I see your thoughts, please?" said J'onn J'onzz wanting to know exactly what happened before The Flash came back in time.
Barry nodded an affirmative. J'onn J'onzz walked up to him and placed his hand on the back of Barry's neck and then J'onn J'onzz eyes begin to glow red.
"I see." said J'onn J'onzz after a few moments.
He then showed Barry's memories to everyone else by use of telepathy.
"We're going to need more numbers." said Barry. "One thing that we can change is we can level the playing field a little."
"And another factor." said J'onn J'onzz as he then turned to Draco. "Draco Malfoy?"
Draco looked confused that the Martian Manhunter had addressed him.
"I have an idea. It will involve what you do in the next 24 hours to be a little bit different from last time."
"So, what do we do with these greater numbers?" asked Wally West. "Where do we get them?"
"We can get some from here." said J'onn J'onzz. "Every agent here at the DEO is trained in specialized weapons to fight against aliens and metahumans."
"We also have friends in other places." said Tony Stark.
Just then the armband that Avatar Sierra was wearing started to beep.
"Let me guess Cisco, you can send me back?"
"Yes." said Cisco.
"Do it, but I think I can help with those numbers. I'll be back. In fact I need your help."
"Everyone, spread out. Bring everybody."
Draco Malfoy waited in a secluded location after the Dark Mark had been used to summon some of Voldemort servants.
"Draco?" said Bellatrix in surprise. "I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do here. I got to say I honestly feel conflicted. Should I just kill you now? Or shall I leave that pleasure to the Dark Lord for your betrayal to all of us?"
"What would you say if I told you that I've been a double agent all this time?" said Draco. "I joined them to collect information on them. Harry Potter was so gullible to believe that I actually wanted to join him that he accepted me right away. Believing that I had become disenchanted to the Death Eaters mission; to the Dark Lords goals."
"And let me guess," said Bellatrix, "you have just betrayed them and they know without a doubt that you are back here to rejoin us?"
"No, Aunt Bellatrix. I'm here to betray them, yes, but they think I'm here to help them. I told them that I'm just going to pretend to be on your guyses side."
"Why should I believe you Draco?"
"Because it's the truth."
"The truth? To me, it has always been subjective."
"I wish to serve the Dark Lord. I chose the winning side a long time ago. Now, if it's all the same to you, can you take me to my father?"
Bellatrix stopped for a moment and then stepped forward, placed her hand on his arm and then disapparated with him in alongside apparation.
They materialized in Voldemort's hideout. And Bellatrix brought Draco before his father Lucius.
"Draco?"
"Hello father." said Draco.
"He claims to be a double agent, Lucius."
"Draco." said Lucius with a look of worry on his face. "You should not have come here."
"I want to join your guyses fighting force against our enemies. And I have valuable information for the Dark Lord."
It was arranged. Draco had to wait for many hours. They had confiscated his wand.
But finally Voldemort entered the room and walked up to Draco. He still had the Omegahedron rotating in his hand.
"My Lord." said Lucius Malfoy. "My son Draco has returned to us. He is a double agent and he is collected valuable information for us."
"Draco." said Voldemort. "Do you expect me to believe that you are really a double agent? And that you have returned to me now at this time?"
"Oh, I totally do not expect you to believe me." said Draco with a smile. "I have come here for something else."
He then looked at his father Lucius.
"Father, I have come here to ask you to come back with me."
Lucius then was shocked. And he looks conflicted.
"Draco, you are out of your mind!?"
"Out of my mind father?" said Draco seriously. "Tell me Father, why do we believe in what we believe in? The superiority of purebloods? The dominance of pureblood wizards over the muggles and muggle-borns? Long ago father our people were persecuted by Muggles. They feared our magic. They burned us at the stake because of our ability to do extraordinary things that they did not have. But I believe that the Dark Lord is taking it too far."
"Silence Draco!" screamed Bellatrix.
"Wait Bella," said Voldemort, "let's hear young Draco out. I would like to know exactly what he wants to say."
Draco paused for a second and then went on.
"I will admit," said Draco, "that I disliked the presence of muggle-borns at Hogwarts. And I even thought of killing a few once or twice. But what the Dark Lord is doing has gone too far. He tried to punish you for your failure at the Ministry to retrieve the prophecy. He punished you by giving me a mission to kill Dumbledore. He has done nothing but cause our family problems and troubles ever since he came into our lives. So tell me father, truly tell me, does the Dark Lord deserve the unwavering loyalty that you have given him? And I know the answer father, the answer is no, he doesn't deserve it. You should be standing up to him right now. You should join Harry Potter. You should fight against him. Times have changed, the ancestors that burned our people at the stake are no longer a concern. Now fight for the people that fight for the freedom of all people."
But before Lucius Malfoy I could speak Voldemort spoke up.
"I have heard enough. I think I can see exactly how you feel Draco. Your usefulness has come to an end Draco. Bella, kill him."
"Wait!" said Draco. "I wish for my father to kill me himself with his unwavering loyalty to you My Lord."
Voldemort smiled and then turn to Lucius.
"Yes, Lucius." said Voldemort. "He is a traitor to all of us. He no longer believes in our cause. He is no longer one of us. Kill him."
Lucius had a worried look on his face full of conflict. But he looked at the Dark Lord and nodded an affirmative.
He raised his wand. And pointed it at Draco. He hesitated. Hesitated far too long as he stared into Draco's eyes that had a very slight hardly noticeable glow to them. Draco stared right back into Lucius's eyes, almost as though he was trying to hypnotize him.
Lucius his eyes went fuzzy as he thought about everything that his son had just said to him. And then suddenly Lucius wished that he had never joined the Dark Lord. The Dark Lord's goals seemed like a good idea a long time ago, but now he wasn't sure anymore. He hadn't exactly been well treated by the Dark Lord.
He continued to hesitate far too long and Voldemort was getting impatient as the Omegahedron continued to rotate in the palm of his left hand.
"Do it to Malfoy!" commanded the Dark Lord.
"As you command My Lord." said Lucius obediently. "Avada Kedavra!"
But before the tiny thin green lightning bolt could shoot out of the end of Lucius's wand, at the speaking of his incantation, he spun around on the spot and aimed his wand at Voldemort's left hand. Voldemort was taken so off guard and he didn't react in time.
The killing curse hit the Omegahedron and the Kryptonian power source was blasted to pieces beyond repair.
Voldemort screamed in rage as both he and Bellatrix Lestrange raised their wands to kill both Lucius and Draco, but right then, with what looked like some red energy covering Draco's body while his eyes turned red he, on the spot, transformed into J'onn J'onzz The Martian Manhunter and at super speed he grabbed hold of Lucius Malfoy and phase-shifted them out of there through the walls.
"Find them!" shouted Voldemort.
Voldemort looked at his empty left hand. The palm of his hand was burned.
He saw the shattered fragments of the Omegahedron on the floor. He raised his wand and cast a spell. The Omegahedron only partially reassembled itself. And it didn't work anymore anyway. The source of his new power was no more.
He had absorbed a great deal of power from the Kryptonian power source, but he wasn't as strong as he would be with it. He could no longer produce the wave of antimatter. Nor could he cast any other spell that was powerful enough to wipe out life on Earth.
All of his plans foiled. He would now have to resort to conventional methods. His patience had run out. He didn't want to wait anymore. He wanted to finish this. He would gather his forces and hunt down every one of the hero's that resisted him and fight to the death!
Back at DEO Headquarters Lucius Malfoy was reunited with his real son and it was explained that J'onn J'onzz had taken Draco's place to make the plan of destroying the Omegahedron go more smoothly. Lucius Malfoy was placed in a holding cell and told by Hermione Granger that if they defeat Voldemort he will be released and won't go to prison.
Earth 309 - The Avatar The Last Airbender universe -
Cisco and Sierra appeared out of a breach right in the middle of the metal bending city of Zaofu. The breach dropped them in the middle of Sierra's home, Beifong Manor.
Sierra pressed the intercom at the front gate where she was then asked to type in a code. She typed the code in and the door open for her.
She went to the front door and entered. Cisco followed her.
"Mom, Dad!" Sierra called out.
A man and a woman then entered the room wearing metal necklaces and the green and brown robes which were the traditional clothing of the people within the city.
"Sierra?" said her father in surprise.
The three of them ran into each other's arms and hugged tightly.
"Sweetie," said her mother, "you have been missing for over a month. We received the report from the University scientists in the southern water tribe. The whole world has been in an uproar that their Avatar has disappeared."
"And your mother and I have been worried sick about you." said her father.
"I don't know how else to tell you this, so I'm just going to lay it out." said Sierra. "I was transported to another Universe. An alternate reality."
Both Mr. and Mrs. Beifong had confused looks on their faces.
"That seems a little far-fetched to dear." said Mrs Beifong.
"Why would I lie about this?" asked Sierra.
Her parents then decided that she was right, she would not make up that story after being missing for a month.
"So," said Mr. Beifong with a look of concentration on his face, "the theory of the Multiverse is real?"
"Oh yes, very real." said Cisco.
"I'm sorry young man, but who are you?" asked Mr. Beifong.
Sierra then gestured to Cisco.
"This here is Cisco Ramon, the scientific and mechanical genius who was able to find a way to send me home."
The Beifongs smiled and then walked over to him.
"Well then young man," said Mr Beifong, "we are eternally grateful that you have brought our daughter home."
I"'m sorry to say Dad that I will not be staying for long." said Sierra, "I have come here to gather an army to assist me in fighting a great evil."
"What?" asked Mrs. Beifong in surprise.
"You should be home here with your family." said her father.
"No," said Sierra, "I can't do that."
"A great evil in an alternate reality is not our concern." said her mother. "One's own universe is the only one of consequence."
"That's not quite true in this case." said Sierra. "We have reason to believe that this great evil will make its way through the Multiverse to our world one day. Therefore it is entirely necessary that we stop this great evil at the source before it gets here. Now, I may be your little girl that you just want home safe and sound, but need I remind you that I am The Avatar."
Her parents paused to actually remember that little fact. They had never quite gotten used to the idea of their daughter being The Avatar. When she did firebending training with Master Kim, and went off to Republic City to learn airbending they had never stopped thinking of her as just their little girl. But now that their daughter is reminding them of who she was they then realized that this was something much bigger than simply their little girl being home and safe.
"As The Avatar," Sierra continued, "it is my job to maintain the 'balance'. My primary function within this universe, and my duty as such is compelling me to do this. Stopping Lord Voldemort is part of me keeping the balance. Now I need a press conference."
Cisco Ramon, Avatar Sierra, and Mr and Mrs Beifong gathered in the Public Square of the city.
Sierra extended the full authority of her position as The Avatar towards the people who were loyal to her as she spoke to the people gathered there in the Public Square. They also activated their television broadcast system and they broadcast everything that she said around the world live.
"I need every fully trained bender of any element, and combat capable non-bender who can wield a weapon to come back with me." said The Avatar on live television around the world as the people watched their TV screens.
Arrangements were made for the volunteer fighters all over the world to meet at the designated breach point before Voldemort attacks on Earth 38.
Sierra Beifong went to her private chambers. She sat down in the lotus position. She went into the meditation of the Airbenders.
"Avatar Korra, Avatar Aang, I need your guidance." Sierra said out loud.
Visible only to her, ghostly forms of Avatars Korra and Aang appeared in front of her.
"Hello Avatar Sierra." said Aang.
"You have questions." said Korra.
Sierra thought about the ultimate issue that all people have to face; mortality. And she was scared. Scared of not being reincarnated into the Fire Nation.
"There's no way to say this than to just come out with it." Sierra said. "I have seen the future. I saw myself die. It will happen in a few hours. And it will happen while I am in the Avatar state."
"Well," said Avatar Aang, "that is quite a situation."
"You are still an Avatar in training, with much to learn." said Avatar Korra. "And you are not the only Avatar that has gone through this. Sometimes it is situations like these that are a learning experience. I myself could not learn airbending until the Equalist and Bloodbender Amon took my bending from me."
"Every Avatar faces many dangers." said Avatar Aang. "Do you know what my fear was?"
"No." said Sierra.
"I feared having to take a life." said Avatar Aang. "I sat down in the lotus position and meditated and called upon the past avatars just as you are doing now, and I asked for guidance."
"But it seems to me that you are not here because you fear having to take the life of Lord Voldemort, no." said Avatar Korra. "You fear failing. You are afraid of death."
"No," said Sierra, "I'm not afraid of dying. I understand my duty as The Avatar, if I am killed in battle, I did it protecting others. I did it trying to keep the balance. I'm not afraid of that."
"You are an Earthbending Avatar." said Avatar Aang. "You are like Earth. You are strong and brave. You're not afraid to face Danger, but I believe that your courage has been tainted because you now know the outcome. You know that you will fail."
"Yes." said Sierra in despair. "What am I supposed to do? The logical thing to do would be to just avoid it, but then how can I do that knowing that others will be threatened by this danger?"
"You are already taking steps to try and change the outcome." said Avatar Aang. "You have gathered additional forces. You are asking for assistance. Many Avatars have worked alone in the past, but most avatars usually had a team. If it wasn't for my team, and your great great grandmother Toph, I would not have been able to restore the balance."
"And if it wasn't for my team I would not have been able to maintain the balance." said Avatar Korra. "My team gave me strength. My team gave me hope. My team gave me courage. And perhaps you have not tapped your full power in the previous future time loop."
"What full power?" asked Sierra curious as to what she meant by that.
It was then that Avatar Korra reached over and touched her ghost finger to Sierra's forehead.
"See into my memories." said Avatar Korra.
Sierra's mind was transported into the past within Korra's mind.
- She was inside a giant underground prison cell, housing the airbending Red Lotus member Zaheer who was chained to the floor preventing him from flying.
"That poison should have killed you, but you were able to fight it off. You believe that your power has limits, but believe that your power is limitless." said Zaheer. -
Avatar Aang then touched his finger to her forehead and showed her his memories.
- She was face-to-face with a lion turtle, a mythical creature over a kilometer long with powerful bending ability. It was the day of Sosin's Comit before Aang faced Phoenix King Ozai.
"Before we benders bent the four elements, we first bent the very energy of the universe itself! said the lion turtle in a loud deep voice. "While evil and darkness are strong by force of might, they will always yield to purifying light!"
The lion turtle then touched the tip of it's thumb and forefinger to Aang's forehead and chest and the point of contact glowed with light. -
Sierra then saw the memories of Aang and Korra.
- During the battle for Republic City when the Earth Empire dictator Kuvira attacked in a 30 story Mecha suit, the giant Spirit energy Cannon fired a full power blast at Kuvira where Avatar Korra stepped right in front of the beam and bent the spirit energy out of the way. -
Another memory. - Phoenix King Ozai had just lost his fight to Aang, but Aang refused to take his life, but no prison would be able to hold him. Aang placed the tips of his five fingers on Ozai's forehead and bent the energy in Ozai's body until Ozai no longer had the ability to bend fire. -
It was then that Sierra felt a wave of both relief and courage go through her like she had never felt before. She knew without a doubt in her mind that there was no way that she could lose.
"You have everything that you need." said Avatar Aang.
"The power of Lord Voldemort pales in comparison to yours." said Avatar Korra.
Then one at a time in quick succession all of the other Avatars appeared behind Aang and Korra along with Raava the Spirit of Light.
"Remember, we are right beside you when you face this great evil." said Avatar Korra.
Julie Black and Jacob Black went to the Quileute Indian reservations on both universes to explain the situation.
The Cullens from both universes then used dimensional extrapolators to beach around to their friends.
Tony Stark used The Cube to breach himself, and Thor back to their own universe to gather some reinforcements of their own.
Caitlin Snow breached to the DEO headquarters from STAR Labs and turned herself into her alternate ego 'Killer Frost'.
The Harry Potter Universe -
Harry Potter and the team breached back to his own universe and the first thing that they did was go straight to Order of the Phoenix headquarters.
"Harry?" said the werewolf Remus Lupin surprised that he was back.
"Me and the others have found Lord Voldemort." said Harry straight out.
Remus Lupin immediately understood what that meant. They immediately alerted every member of the Order of the Phoenix.
Then in a burst of green flame he appeared out of a fireplace at the Ministry of Magic.
"Harry Potter." said one of the ministry officials in surprise.
"I need to speak to everyone!" said Harry pressing his authority on everyone. "Gather all of the Aurors. We have a very powerful and dangerous dark wizard to catch!"
Everyone was then assembled in a staff meeting area.
"I have found Lord Voldemort." said Harry straight out.
There were gasps from many of the people there and then a lot of murmuring among each other.
"He has been missing for 12 years now." Said Harry. "But the fact of the matter is that he is now more powerful than ever. But we know exactly where he is going to be, and we are going to intercept him. He must be stopped here and now before he ever returns to power in this world!"
Everyone there looked at each other with nervous faces.
"I need every Auror and Ministry official who will volunteer to stand with me against him to come with me and assist me in placing him under arrest."
Harry Potter, all the Aurors, and almost every ministry official then apperated to the edge of the Hogwarts grounds and went to the Great Hall where he met with the other teachers.
He touched his wand to his throat and his voice was magically magnified.
The others had spread out to other places to find other people to join their cause against Voldemort in the next few hours.
"Attention students and staff. Everyone please come to the Great Hall." said Harry Potter's magically magnified voice.
Everyone had arrived at the Great Hall.
All of Harry's family and friends and old classmates arrived at the school just in time for Harry to give his big speech.
"Students of Hogwarts." Harry addressed the crowd. "Teachers. Ghosts. House elves. Centaurs. And your peers...hear me!"
Everyone stared at Harry in awe with rapt attention.
"We are at War!" Said Harry. "12 years ago Lord Voldemort went missing. Without him the Death Eaters fell into disarray and we eventually reclaimed our former glory. But the war never ended because Voldemort was never found. The fact of the matter is that me and my friends have uncovered some evidence. Lord Voldemort was transported through a portal into another Universe. An alternate reality. Not only that but he was transported 12 years into the future. To him no time has passed by but he has found a way to return here. Not only that he is more powerful than ever."
Everyone then began murmuring among each other wondering what Harry was getting at.
"If Voldemort returns here, he will conquer this world! We however have an opportunity. An opportunity to stop him. Contrary to common belief, he is not invincible. He is not omnipotent. We can stop him with overwhelming force. We can stop him if we are all unified against him. Me and my friends know exactly where he is going to be at a certain time and we plan to be there to hit him with everything we have...and he will lose...that is, if we have enough numbers on our side."
He paused to allow that to sink in.
"I need every teacher, and 17 year old student who is willing to volunteer to come with me and stand behind me with their wands at the ready while I fight the Dark Lord."
More murmuring among everyone there in the room.
"Now, I know what you're thinking. This is too dangerous you can't handle this, but I am asking you all to appeal to The Compassion of those who have suffered at the hands of Dark Lord. I need you all to appeal to your own selflessness when I ask for your help in this matter. What if the war could be over tomorrow? What if tomorrow the Dark Lord could never come back again? What if tomorrow your children and your children's children could be safe from the Dark Lords oppression forever?"
He paused again to allow that to sink in.
"Wouldn't that be worth fighting for? No, wouldn't that be worth dying for?"
Everyone went silent as they looked at each other in contemplation of the situation that Harry was literally dropping into their lap in the middle of a random day.
"Let us end this once and for all! Let us go out there and let us face the Dark Lord for the very last time, with the pure-blooded Wizarding nobility of Salazar Slytherin. With the courage of Godric Gryffindor. With the honor of Helga Hufflepuff. And the cunning and cleverness of Rowena Ravenclaw."
He then raised his wand up high over his head and shook it.
"Let us go out there, and let us stain our wands with the blood of the Death Eaters! And let Lord Voldemort rue the day he dared to defy us! WHO'S WITH ME!?"
Every single one of the Gryffindor 17 year olds stood up and said simultaneously, "We will fight with you Harry Potter."
And then a large number of younger students, but they were banned from coming.
About half of the 17 year olds from both Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff stood up and said that they would fight with Harry Potter.
And surprisingly a small number of Slytherins joined in.
One young second year female Slytherin student with long silvery white hair stood back and stroked her chin with interest at what was just said.
While more witches and wizards were being gathered Harry went to the headmaster's office. He was granted the special privilege to go there whenever he wished.
Many of Dumbledore's old items were there, along with a number of other items.
He saw the pensive with the swirling potion in it.
He saw the Sword of Godric Gryffindor sitting in his case on the shelf.
He then started to think about what the Alastor Moody doppelganger had said. He looked down at the Elder Wand in his hand. The most powerful wand in the world created by the Peverell brothers. An extraordinary feat of wandlore craftsmanship. But it was just a tool, an instrument for a Wizard to channel their magic through, but it was not the source of their power. Was the Elder Wand really holding him back? It was supposed to be the legendary unbeatable Deathstick. The Wand of Destiny. A wand that any wizard duelist will be victorious in a duel. But then if the wand was unbeatable, how could Dumbledore defeat Grindelwald when he possessed the wand. If the wand was unbeatable, how could he lose to Voldemort the last time he fought him.
The wand was extraordinary. But he had to get rid of it. He had to master wandless magic. But he'd have to do the thing that he couldn't do. Forgive Lord Voldemort.
He took out of his pocket Marvolo Gaunt's ring.
He turned it over in his hand three times and then looked up. Standing in front of him was his mother. He was older than her. He supposed that when one is dead they don't get any older.
"Hello son." said his mother with a smile.
"Hello Mom." replied Harry.
She walked up to him and then placed her hands on his shoulders.
"You are such a handsome young man. I am so proud of you."
"Thanks Mom." said Harry. "Mom, you are the kindest and most sweetest person I know, or at least that's what everyone says about you."
"Yes?" she prompted him to go on.
"Do you...forgive Voldemort?"
She paused for a moment to think and then said, "Son, you need to understand why you hate to begin with. Voldemort himself as a victim. He is a victim of circumstance. He is a victim of the Fiend Spectre. His biological family were rotten and abandoned her mother while she was pregnant, granted she did bring that on herself when she Bewitched his father. He grew up in an orphanage where he hated it. His mind was corrupted by darkness and Evil. Had he grown up in a loving family, maybe things would have changed, or maybe it's just his biology, maybe by some freak accident of his brain he is an unfeeling sociopath no fault of his own. By all means, stop him, yes. But if you understand why someone is the way they are, it helps to be more sympathetic to them and how they are. Don't let it be an excuse for them, no, but by all means pity them. I have come to terms with this. So yes my son, I do forgive Lord Voldemort."
Harry had to meditate on this.
"Thanks Mom. I love you."
"While I'm always happy to see you and talk to you, it might not be wise for you to summon me like this with the resurrection Stone."
"I needed wisdom Mom. I would not have summoned you otherwise, as much as I might have wanted to."
"Of course."
Harry put Marvolo Gaunt's ring back in his pocket and the spirit of his mother vanished into thin air.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He thought of how Voldemort was the victim.
Back on Earth 38 a group of freed super villains were wreaking havoc.
The Waverider appeared overhead while Bella, Captain America, Harrison Wells the Grey, and the Hulk assisted the Legends.
They leapt down to the ground. Nathan Heywood turn his skin to metal while he wore a suit that was similar to Captain America's by coincidence. Professor Stein, and Jefferson Jackson grab each other's hands where they turned to Fire and merge together, and became Firestorm.
Bella had ignited her hair and arms while her eyes glowed bright yellow. She and Firestorm then looked at each other.
"Nice look." said Firestorm.
"Right back at you." said Bella.
Sarah Lance readied her battle batons.
Mick Rory readied his heat gun.
Ray Palmer had suited up in the Atom suit.
Amaya Jiwe touched her hand to her necklace amulet and a silvery cloud shaped like a cheetah appeared out of her and gave the growl of a wildcat.
At lightning-fast speed they all shot forward against their enemies.
Captain America deflected several enemy attacks with his shield and then with Superior strength knock them out.
Bella and Firestorm together blasted several the enemies with their nuclear blasts from her hands.
The Hulk did what he did best. He ran forward and smashed every enemy that he could see.
Ray Palmer flying in his suit shrank down to miniature size and began to discreetly dispatch many of the enemies with his high intensity energy weapons.
Mick Rory being a pretty strong man himself grabbed hold of several of their enemies and bust their heads with his bare hands if he didn't just burn them to a cinder with his heat gun first.
Sarah Lance, with her trained experience martial arts moves that she had learned from the League of Assassins fought hard and fast toe-to-toe with a strong and skilled fighter. After less than a minute, the fight was over and she had successfully incapacitated him.
Amaya Jiwe touched her hand to her amulet and called up the strength of a gorilla.
Bullets and other weapons were fired at her but she dodged this way and that and then leapt at them under their guard disabled their weapons and incapacitated them.
It wasn't long before all of the bad guys were beaten up and either dead or incapacitated.
The police and military showed up to take the bad guys into custody while the Legends headed back to the Waverider.
When they arrived on the bridge a hologram of a bald silverhead appeared.
"Gideon, report!" said the White Canary.
"Captain Lance," said Gideon the artificial intelligence that controlled the ship, "I'm afraid that I have some bad news. It seems that Voldemort has moved up his attack. If this world is going to have any defense we must go there now."
"Gideon set a course." Sarah Lance ordered.
Voldemort, his Death Eaters, a large army of aliens, and metahumans as well as a large number of ungifted humans merely wielding regular weapons were gathered.
Most of the heroes were there. Along with members of the DEO. As well as United States military soldiers by order of the president were prepared to stand with them.
The Waverider had arrived and the Legends disembarked to join the ranks at the front line.
Supergirl, Superman, J'onn J'onzz, The Flash, Kid Flash, and Killer Frost were there.
Also arriving was an Ally of Supergirl in a titanium suit with a shield. The vigilante 'Guardian'.
The Earth 38 Amun had then arrived with a large number of vampire friends.
And due to the apocalyptic nature of the crisis, the Earth 38 Volturi had shown up along with the entire guard. It was still kept a secret that they were vampires; their cover story was that they were metahumans who were allied with Supergirl.
The Cullens of Earth 38 were also there with their vampire allies from around the world as well as the female wolf pack from the Quileute reservation.
Team Arrow was also there except for the Green Arrow himself. He had returned to 'Earth One' to gather some reinforcements of his own.
"This is it?" asked Voldemort as he looked at the battalion that his enemies had massed against him.
He still outnumbered them by a considerable amount.
"We will fight you with everything that we have!" said Superman defiantly.
"You don't stand a chance against me!" Voldemort contradicted. "I will destroy each and everyone of you! I will prove to you all I cannot be defeated by any of you!"
Just then, a breach opened and Oliver Queen appeared through it along with a group of what appeared to be ninjas wielding swords and bows and arrows who were former members of the League of Assassins, as well as another man with blond hair and a trench coat, his friend and ally the warlock John Constantine.
"Well well." said John Constantine as he looked at Voldemort. "He-who-must-not-be-named."
Then from another breach came Erik Morter the Esper along with Matilda Wormwood, and his son Jonathan. As well as another 20 or so other Espers.
Then out of the sky came the Hal Jordan the Green Lantern where he then stopped in mid-air, but he wasn't alone. About another 30 Green Lanterns from alien worlds then appeared behind him and pointed their rings the green jewel in each of their rings glowing.
Then several more breaches opened. Through it came Avatar Sierra along with Cisco Ramon, and behind them came a large number of Firebenders, Airbenders, Earthbenders, Waterbenders, and non-benders wielding weapons.
A moment later another breach opened in the sky where then out of the breach came the teleportation energy Bridge of the Bifrost materializing Thor, Iron Man, and 200 Asgardian soldiers, as well as agent Romanoff, Agent Barton, and Colonel James Rhodes in the War Machine Suit with a big chain gun on the shoulder.
Then another breach opened followed by the Cullens from Earth 197, Adolfina Anderson, and Skarra of Abydos of SG-1 in there Stargate Command military gear. As well as all of the Cullens vampire allies including a pack of shape-shifting werewolves.
And then a moment later another breach opened. Through this one came Harry Potter along with his friends and their families, every member of the Order of the Phoenix, then the Aurors from the ministry of magic, and a large number of ministry officials, as well as teachers and 17 year old students from Hogwarts and many other friends of all of them who had agreed to assist them in the fight.
The playing field had been leveled. The two forces against each other were now evenly matched. Who would win was now a total coin flip.
Captain America then stepped forward looked around at all of his allies around him and couldn't help but shout out loud,
"AVENGERS…ASSEMBLE!"
Please review!
