"Black Rock Shooter Beast! How'd it go? What's this plan of yours?" Strength shouted as she spotted Rock approaching.
"We gather our sisters and share our power with him." Rock told her.
"What! That's insane! Don't forget we still have to deal with him afterwards, how are we going to do that when he's even more powerful than Voldemort?" Strength cried.
Rock was abruptly cut off by Chariot wheeling over to them.
"We. Have. Problem." Chariot muttered.
"What now?" Strength sighed.
"Shield. Holding. Tear. Expanding." The blonde Otherself said.
"Shit." Strength sighed standing up. "Where are the humans? I need to let them know."
Chariot pointed.
"Right, don't let any pass, I'll be..." Strength's sentence was cut off by the sound of shattering glass.
All three turned to face the vast shield dome, just in time to see it explode into tiny fragments which burned up as they fell. A horde of shambling Cloaked Ones stumbled forwards as a small black dot shot into the blackened sky.
"I assume that Voldemort has discovered the child is missing." Rock said impassively.
"The timing of this guy." Strength groaned. "Alright, we've gotta keep him here until our sisters are done."
Rock immediately pointed her pistol towards the faint dot in the sky and fired, most missed due to the extreme distance, however a few hit their mark and the black dot slowly grew larger.
"Now we know where He is." Rock answered to a quizzical look given by Chariot.
"You're crazy! This isn't going to work!" Ginny cried. "I can't lose you again!"
"I'm sorry baby." Harry said soothingly. "But Voldemort and I are tied together, I think that's why it needs to be me. This is our best chance."
"I know." Ginny sniffed. "But that doesn't change the fact it's not fair!"
"Trust me, this isn't something I'd do if there was any other option. But you've spoken to your own Otherself, you know how bad it is. Voldemort is too powerful." Harry said gently.
"Promise me you'll stay safe." Ginny demanded, grabbing her husband in a tight hug.
To the side of them a swirling, multicoloured portal opened.
Harry pulled away.
"I promise to stay as safe as I possibly can." He said, as reassuringly as possible.
"That'll do, I guess." Ginny smiled sadly. "You'd better go." She nodded towards the portal.
"I love you." Harry said solemnly. He stepped through the portal which closed promptly behind him.
"Love you too." Ginny replied, falling to her knees crying.
Harry stepped out into a grey wasteland, littered with broken stone blocks and pillars. A chipped and cracked checked floor spread out under him in all directions. In the far distance, a seething black mass swarmed over everything, explosions shook the mass sending parts of it into the dull grey sky, nothing could stop its onslaught though.
He could hear a loud rumble and clacking come from behind him, seemingly getting closer. He turned and came face-to-face with an enormous dolls head, he could see mechanical spider legs jutting out from behind it.
"Hello... Mary?" Harry asked, hoping he got it's name correct after all these years. Mary bounced in apparent excitement, wheeled around Harry and stopped facing away from him. He looked at it in confusion for a long while.
"Do you want me to get on you? Are you taking me to the others?" Harry asked carefully.
Mary bounced again.
"Alright then." Harry replied, he slowly clambered up to Chariots seat and sat down.
With no warning, Mary sped off heading towards the distant black mass, Harry only just managed to hold on, nearly falling out of the chair.
"This was a mistake!" Strength cried as she flew through a building. She groaned in pain, pushed the rubble of her and charged back into the fray.
Rock and Chariot were fighting Voldemort, Rock was peppering him with fire from Seven-Shots and Chariot was constantly on the move in very erratic motions. As soon as the dark wizard focussed attention on one, the other would move in and attack.
Strength unfurled her second set of arms and transformed them into vulcan cannons, with a cry she spat out a stream of red-hot metal as fast and as hard as she could. Rock and Chariot got caught in the fire, but quickly ducked out of the way, a few bullet holes, but nothing that wouldn't heal quickly.
Voldemort managed to put up a shield spell in time, protecting him from the thousands of rounds the white haired Otherself was spewing towards him. Soon enough, Strength's cannons overheated and became mangled lumps of glowing iron. Within moments Voldemort casted the disarming spell towards her, the magic sending her flying away from the battle.
"Stop this!" Rock bellowed with a edge of anger.
Voldemort smiled.
"Why? This power of the Otherselves is incredible, I've surpassed everyone, nothing can stand before me now. Why stop now?" The dark wizard asked.
"This. Not. For. Humans." Chariot answered, swinging her sword towards his neck.
He ducked it effortlessly, countering with a red bolt of light from his wand which clipped her shoulder and sent her backwards with enough force she created a deep trench several metres long in the dirt and concrete.
"This power belongs to my sisters, without us your world will tear itself apart!" Rock snarled.
"Why is that? Pray tell." Voldemort sneered. A long stream of fire erupted from his wand, which he curled around himself then, like a whip, he spin it around towards Rock.
Rock dodged out of the way, only suffering some burnt hair at the end of her longest pigtail.
"We are your negative feelings, we carry the burdens of the entire human race!" Rock shouted. "Without us, you humans will succumb to your darkest thoughts, your innermost fears!"
The fire-whip came at her again, wrapping around her left arm, which was holding Seven-Shots, causing her to drop it in pain. Voldemort grinned with sadistic glee as the fire burnt through the limb, severing it just below the elbow.
"I doubt a few more hysterical girls in the world will end it." The evil wizard said, getting ready to swing the whip again.
"You and Harry are wrong, every man, woman and child has an Otherself. Even you." Rock hissed.
"Me?" Voldemort paused in his actions. "I have an Otherself?"
"You do." Rock affirmed.
Voldemort was about to ask more when he got interrupted by a mangled iron fist swinging into him, sprawling out on the ground.
Rock looked up and saw Strength standing over her, holding out her hand. With a nod of thanks, Rock took the offered hand and allowed herself to be helped up as a portal opened behind them.
"It's time. They're ready." Strength said quietly. "Are you ready to go home?"
Rock nodded slowly, home, back to the Otherworld.
"You and Chariot go, I'll bring Him through, He won't leave if he thinks there are threats here." Rock said.
"Okay, see you on the other side." Strength smiled sadly, she waved over Chariot and both passed through the swirling vortex.
Voldemort was slowly getting to his feet, he quickly fired a green bolt at Rock and looked around for Strength and Chariot. Rock had dodged the bolt but stayed where she was standing.
"They left, to get Harry." Rock explained.
"Harry Potter! Where is he!" Voldemort practically screamed.
"With us, safe." Rock stated, moving in front of the portal.
Voldemort bellowed in rage and flew towards Rock as a dark mist, knocking them both through the portal.
