"What. Happening?" Chariot asked, spinning around to face the giant dome. Within, Cloaked Ones were pressing themselves against the shimmering blue barrier, while above them, the spiked pillars continued to grow, shattering as they touched it.

"The humans created this dome to stop the Cloaked Ones, and to give themselves some breathing room." Strength replied. "But it's debatable whether it'll hold for long."

Chariot nodded.

"How are our sisters doing?" Strength asked.

"Holding. Less. With. Every. Attack." Chariot replied coldly.

"How many have fallen?" Rock asked.

Chariot didn't seem surprised when she spoke, instead she just stared at her for a long while.

"Many. Hundreds. Darkness. Spreading." She muttered.

"We need to find Harry, he could be the only person to stop Voldemort." Strength stated.

"Black Gold Saw. Has. Idea." Chariot responded.


Black Gold Saw and Dead Master were stood at the tallest pillar in Dead Master's world.

"Can. Do. It?" Black Gold Saw asked.

Dead Master slowly nodded.

"Will. Take. Much. Effort. Have. To. Force. Realities. Apart." Dead Master confirmed. "Need. King Saw."

Black Gold Saw's hand involuntary twitched towards her giant sword.

"Why?" She demanded.

"Dead Scythe. Not. Strong. Enough." Dead Master explained, while tightening her grip on her weapon.

Slowly, reluctantly, Black Gold Saw drew King Saw from her back. She ran her fingers along the razor edge until finally she delicately handed it over. Dead Master carefully took the weapon, not fully trusting the older Otherself. She turned and thrust it into the ground, she did the same with Dead Scythe, forcing it into the same spot.

Dead Master's eye exploded with green fire as she pulled the two weapons in opposite directions, tearing a hole in the ground and through reality. A black void grew, an all encompassing darkness that greedily swallowed all light that entered.

Black Gold Saw watched as the tear grew bigger, soon it was large enough for both of them to enter.

Exhausted, Dead Master fell to the floor, the green fire flickered before going out. With a moderate amount of concern, Black Gold Saw knelt down and gently shook the gothic teen.

"Can. Move?" The red-horned girl asked.

A low grunt came from Dead Master.

"Get. Up. Need. To. Find. Child." Black Gold Saw said.

Carefully, Dead Master stood up, she walked up to the void and peered into it.

"Are. You. Sure. About. Him?" The pale girl asked.

Black Gold Saw shook her head.

"Black Rock Shooter. Thinks. It's. Him. Only. Option." She replied.

Without another word they both stepped into the dark portal.


Harry didn't turn to face the new source of light that appeared in the distance. Every so often, Voldemort would come to gloat at his latest victories. He seemed to revel in seeing the shock and horror in Harry's face as he described the various different ways he disposed of the Otherselves.

"Harry. Potter." Called a faint voice.

Harry lifted his head, that was a female voice. It was stilted and dull, it also wasn't one he really recognised. Looking over towards the light he spotted a dark shape approaching.

"What? Who?" Harry spluttered.

The dark shape became clearer, it seemed to be two figures floating rapidly towards him, feet first.

Harry could only see their legs, one appeared to be wearing knee-high boots with tiny shorts.

The other however.

Harry blushed as he realised that the second person was wearing a dress, he started to turn his head until he noticed that whoever it was also had leggings on underneath.

They both grabbed onto the checker-board platform Harry was sitting on and righted themselves to be at the same orientation as him.

"Dead Master? Black Gold Saw?" Harry asked in surprise.

He had only met Black Gold Saw once, many years ago at Hogwarts. He still remembered her though, it was the same with all the Otherselves, however he also remembered her being taller and older.

"Harry. Potter?" Black Gold Saw asked.

"Yeah?" Harry said.

"Come. Must. Fight." Black Gold Saw replied.

"I've been here too long already." Harry nodded. "It feels like an eternity."

Dead Master grabbed him and together, all three of them jumped towards the shining light in the distance. With no gravity past the platform, they all drifted towards the portal and passed through it.


"So what now?" Strength asked.

Black Rock Shooter, Chariot and Strength were still standing next to the dome.

"It seems to be a stalemate, we should return to our world. Help our sisters." Rock replied.

"Can't. World. Will. Burn. Kagari." Chariot said.

Strength nodded.

"Without us here, the humans wouldn't stand a chance. If the barrier falls they'll be overwhelmed and torn apart." She said, flexing her huge hands.

Above them a multicoloured portal opened, a body fell through and landed in a crumpled mess at their feet.

"Harry?" Strength exclaimed.

"Owww, that hurt!" Harry yelled at the portal.

"Harry! What happened? Where have you been?" Strength cried, helping him to his feet.

"Ow, ow." Muttered Harry as he stood. "Voldemort captured me, kept me in the void between worlds." He looked around. "Where are we?"

"London, not far from your Ministry of Magic." Strength told him.

"What?" Harry cried. "How long has it been?"

"Only a few days, but you've still got a lot of catching up to do." Strength said pointing to Rock.

Harry looked over to a pale, slim girl. She had long hair in pigtails, a crown of fire which seemed to start from her eye. Evil metal claws, similar to Dead Master's and metal plated boots covered her legs.

She was also had a giant broadsword and held a small pistol.

"Who, are… Wait, Rock?" Harry spluttered.

Rock nodded.

"But… How… What happened?" Harry asked in confusion, looking at Strength for an explanation.

"Voldemort." Rock answered.

Harry was confused as to who spoke, before realising.

"You just spoke!" Harry cried.

Rock nodded.

"I was imprisoned and tortured by Voldemort. Hoping to draw out my insane side, He also cast magic on me to force me to speak." She explained. "It didn't quite work how He wanted to, both sides are awake in me now, working together. My appearance changed to reflect that."

"But how?" Harry asked, his head spinning. "I didn't think magic could affect you guys like that?"

"Voldemort's power has grown immensely since consuming our power." Strength said.

"Even Dumbledore couldn't prevent Rock from killing him, if Voldemort is that strong, how can we defeat him?" Harry asked.

The three Otherselves looked at each other, unsure how to answer.

"We. Can't." Chariot said finally.

Harry's face fell despondently.

"We don't even know where he is, he's somewhere in our world but not even Black Gold Saw can locate him." Strength told him.

"I don't think that will be a problem." Harry said coldly. "When I was trapped, he kept coming to see me to gloat. It shouldn't be long before he finds out I'm missing."

"We'll worry about that later, for now though, you should go home." Strength said. "I know your wife has been missing you and she's worried sick."

"I can't just leave!" Harry argued. "What about if there's another attack?"

"The aurors are maintaining this dome." Rock answered. "And should it fall, we will contain them."

"Just the three of you?" Harry asked.

"Dead Master's. Legions." Chariot said.

"Dead Master has also brought her army through as well, although with how large it is, I wouldn't be surprised if there are still some still waiting." Strength said, nodding towards the vast portal on the horizon.

"So you don't need me?" Harry muttered.

"Not yet, go home, get some rest. You can't help if you're exhausted." Strength stated.

Harry hesitated then nodded, Strength made a good point and since leaving the void he had been feeling very worn down.

"Don't worry Harry." Strength said darkly. "It looks like you're going to be involved in this whether you want it or not."
