(Chapter 3: Deathly Encounters)
It was nearly a week after Leonardo's encounter with Mundungus and as such his vacation had been off to a relatively great start in part from having met one of his favorite boxers of all time, right next to George Foreman, Manny Pacquiao, Marvin Hagler and Mike Tyson. With it being during this time period that he'd also got some sightseeing done in both Liverpool which was quite a nice change of pace from his usual schedule, while having also managed to get around to going towards some of the locations that Mundungus suggested to his favor.
WIth the only thing that he missed being unable to do because of this was the fact that he didn't get much use out of his aliens during all of this, as at most he mainly just used some of his aliens to just dick around the city in doing random shenanigans wherever and whenever he felt like.
(August 24th, 2017, Diagon Alley, 2:10 Pm)
It was 10 after 2 in the afternoon as Leonardo had gone to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor to get some ice cream to enjoy his day out while also taking some pictures to further enjoy his time out and about in said part of magical Britain.
"I'll give that Fortescue guy this much, he makes some damned good ice cream." Leonardo said while eating his brownie flavored ice cream
'Mental note, go and visit that Fortescue guys' ice cream shop more often. Because holy shit is this some top-tier ice cream!' Leonardo noted to himself to make a return trip back to said ice-cream parlor
The day continued onwards with Leonardo just wandering about Diagon Alley and taking some pictures of the place around him and just generally enjoying the sunny day bestowed upon him; all the while enjoying and soon finishing his ice cream and then subsequently devouring the waffle cone it was in. With his wandering about the area continuing to where it soon brought him to Knockturn Alley, something that was evident by the more gloomy and almost sinister atmosphere in the area that while present, didn't really do much to bother the Ultimatrix wielder; although he was a good deal more on guard because of it
Because of that he felt that it would be a good idea to activate the shield generator he kept on his person, something of which he thanked his being able to become Jury Rigg for as he continued his walk into Knockturn Alley, enjoying his walk throughout it and all the while keeping a level of constant vigilance all the while. This continued onwards until he happened upon a group of black robed figures doing some sort initiation with their wands to people who looked like your average joe, so in wanting to not have any part of this decided to get out of dodge and had nearly succeeded in doing so.
Up until his trying to quietly sneak away from the scene had tripped and fell flat on his face on a set of stone stairs, which got the attention of said robed figures as Leonardo went about collecting himself and dusting himself off.
'Well, fuck me sideways! Looks like my chances of getting out of here just got cut right the hell in half.' Leonardo mentally cursed himself as the robed figures' attention was now on him
"Look, I'm just trying to finish up some sightseeing, take some pictures and find somewhere good to eat. That's all I'm trying to do. So how about I just go on about my way and pretend like we never saw each other." Leonardo offered as he was both trying to go about his day and both not wanting to start stuff that could ruin it
"I have a far better idea in mind!" Crabbe Sr. spoke as he lobbed a Reductor curse that destroyed Leonardo's phone
"Oh come on! Do you know how long that's gonna take to fix?! Just what the fuck man, that was extremely unnecessary...I knew I should've sprang for a warranty, when I had the chance" Leonardo exclaimed exasperated at the fact his phone was destroyed while simultaneously being thankful that his shield generator was able to take the damage
"Shut it you fuckin' mudblood as now your kind is gonna get what you deserve. The lot of you kill this maggot and earn your place at the Dark Lord's side!" Crabbe Sr. ordered before the initiates began whipping out their wands
'...Of course, I can't continue my vacation without something happening...' Leonardo cursed as he saw a bombardment of curses come streaking their way towards him as he quickly activated his shield generator
"At least I get to take out my broken phone and now ruined day out on somebody and I know which alien will be perfect for the job." Leonardo said to himself as he scrolled through the Ultimatrix for one of his favorite aliens to carry out the deed with
With Snape and Yaxley cursing the fact that they didn't have to do any of this and could've just gone on about their day with the decent amount of recruits they gained, instead they had to waste their time dealing with some muggleborn who was shielded by a barrier charm of some sort. Yet their dismissive annoyance towards this soon turned to surprise when an annoyed Leonardo decided to turn himself into Cannonbolt who glared at the group of Death Eaters, all before turning himself into a crimson and onyx armored sphere that began to rapidly charge towards its targets.
The group of Death Eaters were soon assailed by the armored sphere that came at them like a bullet and smashed into them with such speed and force that their bones were shattered like glass, and when ran over their inside were flattened into a bloody paste. With the Death Eaters having tried to either put up Protego charms and other such protective charms to stop Cannonbolt's rampage, or blast him with all sorts of hexes and curses to try and stop him; only for him to bum rush his way either past or through them unaffected.
With it becoming increasingly clear throughout Cannonbolt's rampage of acting like a roided out pinball that they were on the losing side of things and as such Snape went about trying to get the initiates out of there as soon as possible. All the while Crabbe Sr. in his arrogance had tried to solo the Ultimatrix wielder in bombarding him in quick succession with all manner of curses before he soon found himself being rammed into a brick wall, the force of the attack was enough to have broken and practically shattered the bones in his legs.
Yaxley and Snape seeing how easily Crabbe Sr. went down and saw how Cannonbolt soon rolled away from him and began to gather up momentum and speed towards them quickly decided to apparate away before they were turned into a bloody paste. With Cannonbolt sensing that the other Death Eaters had vanished had unfurled from his armored sphere-like form and into the greyish white skinned, hulking broad-shouldered alien whose magenta colored eyes glared at the now paralyzed Crabbe Sr.
"Well, at least I have you to talk too. Since you and I are gonna be having a long talk." Cannonbolt spoke as he turned back to Leonardo all the while looking to shift into one of his flight-capable alien
"I-I'm n-not telling...you..s-shit, y-you g-god..damn..mud..blood." Crabbe Sr. wheezed out defiantly before spitting up blood from his injuries
"Of course you won't. Anyways, let's get to moving. Because you have quite a lot to tell me about." Leonardo spoke before slamming down on the Ultimatrix
That in mind he turned himself into Jetray and grabbed the quite injured Death Eater in his talons before taking off at high-speeds towards a house he bought himself to use for his vacation that would be perfect to get all the information he wanted out of the Death Eater.
(2 days later, 8:35 Pm, Malfoy Manor, August 26th, 2017)
It was hours later as Yaxley and Snape were currently having to report their master in Lord Voldemort as to why they were short of so many recruits, but also as to why Crabbe Sr. was missing from the recruiting force that had been sent.
"...Forgive me my lord, but under the circumstances of which we were forced to fight against. This was the best we were able to do." Yaxley said all the while he and Snape were under the penetrating ruby-eyed gaze of their master
"You and Snape are forgiven. Clearly this was a mistake on my part letting Crabbe come along with you. The idiot could never resist a chance for senseless violence...shame that it cost us so many recruits along with himself...At the very least his death isn't too much of a loss all things considered." Voldemort responded with a heavy sigh of irritation at the blunder the more brutish Death Eater had caused that robbed them of a good chunk of potential recruits they could've had
"Still, this situation can still be salvaged. We have 6 out of what was supposed to be 2 dozen recruits, so at least we can get to work on training them and setting them up with our current operations. Especially with our trying to establish connections in Germany and in Italy, so that when we can start the purge of the Light from our home. That we'll be able to do so with far more effectiveness than what we were able to do in that mess that was our first wave." Voldemort added in trying to make some positive note of this whole debacle
"I will get on that immediately, my lord." Yaxley spoke in knowing full well that it was a wise decision to make haste on things concerning his master
"Good. Now then, Severus. If I'm not mistaken you said that the one who decimated our forces wasn't only able to turn into some strange creature. That said person also seemed to look as though he were the supposed long dead son of the Potters?" Voldemort inquired to the hook-nosed Death Eater who looked up to meet the ever piercing gaze of the Dark Lord
"With the exception of the goggles he wore before he transformed. He looked to be the near spitting image of James Potter my lord." Snape said in knowing that besides those goggles he wore that Leonardo looked nearly like a younger albeit more haggard and stoned clone of James
"And just to make things clear. No one else knows of what you and Yaxley have seen with the Potter boy decimating our forces? Not even Dumbledore I hope?" Voldemort questioned as to if anyone else knew of what had went down in Knockturn Alley
"No my lord. I've not told Dumbledore or the Order about this information. I felt the matter to be far more of importance to you." Snape answered back while the hooded form of Voldemort continued to lock onto him with their piercing gaze
"Good, and keep it that way as well Severus. This is information and valuable information at that. Dumbledore already has enough weapons on his side to threaten what we do, what with his hopes being put into the other Potter child. He does NOT need to be given another one, one that can turn into strange forms that can wipe out wizards and shrug off curses like they were mere houseflies." Voldemort ordered to the hook-nosed wizard in wanting to keep this information locked down to only the Death Eaters and themselves present
"As you wish my lord. Not a single word shall be said to him on the matter." Snape swore in knowing full well that to go against his master's words would be a death sentence
"If I may speak on the matter my lord. What do you wish to do about him then? As it stands, the Potter boy remains a rather dangerous threat to our cause?" Yaxley questioned as to what the next move going forwards about Leonardo should be
"You both mentioned that he did not attack until provoked by Crabbe's idiocy. If that is the case then do not make the mistake of provoking him or engaging unless completely necessary. Our numbers are already low and we do not need to risk them falling even further by needlessly antagonizing him." Voldemort stated in what was clear as day to do concerning the Ultimatrix wielder
If it was a simple matter of not antagonizing and or provoking the Potter boy and leaving him to his own devices, then they would simply do just that in concerns to the Ultimatrix wielder; for the Dark Lord saw no rhyme or reason to go after him again when there was no need to make a enemy out of someone they didn't need to.
"Understood my master. I will be sure to spread the word to the other Death Eaters. However, what is to be done about Crabbe?" Yaxley answered back while wondering what was to do be done about the Crabbe patriarch
"Leave him to his fate. If he was so willing to make such an arrogant and foolish mistake in order to satisfy his bloodthirst. All without knowing the potential threat of what he was facing. Then he deserves all of what happens to him for his blunder. Even in what I can assume is his death does that oaf infuriate me." Voldemort callously responded, their ruby serpentine eyes glowing in severe disgust towards Crabbe Sr. for costing them so many recruits and nearly the lives of 2 valuable elder Death Eaters
"Understood. Looks as though we shall have to go about looking for a replacement. Goyle isn't going to be too happy about this." Yaxley said in knowing full well that Crabbe and Goyle like their sons were rather good friends
"If he wishes to commit suicide by going after the Potter boy, then let him. Because I will not face down someone who can transform into something that acts as though a Reductor curse is nothing to it." Snape cooly spoke in not wanting to face down the Potter boy
"Agreed. Because unless we do some major training with our forces, then each fight with him is going to be one bloody hell of an uphill battle. That's not even taking into account if he can turn into other forms more dangerous than what he used to kill the recruits and do who knows what with Crabbe." Yaxley added in knowing that it would be one hell of a hail Mary for them to fight against Leonardo and that's especially if he can transform into other creatures
"Excellent point, Yaxley. Still if Goyle wishes to rush to his death to avenge Crabbe, then don't waste the effort to stop him. Your words will fall on deaf ears, seeing as how he is as thick headed as a drunken orge." Voldemort told them in knowing full well that no matter what was said or done that the elder Goyle would soon seek out Leonardo to get vengeance against him
"If there's nothing else to be said from your report. Then the two of you are dismissed." Voldemort spoke as the two nodded and departed from their master
'This certainly changes things. Hopefully in time, we'll be able to cross paths and have you see my side of things.' Voldemort pondered to themselves while an interest in Leonardo had begun to blossom within their mind
(The next day, 1:54 Pm, Atlas Gym, Liverpool, England, August 27th, 2017)
It was the next day later as Leonardo was XLR8 racing to the location of the boxing gym in excitement to start his first day of training under one of his favorite boxers/ mixed martial artists.
'Man who would've thought that I'd get the chance to do this. Man life is awesome!' XLR8 thought to himself before turning himself back into Leonardo
"Now all I gotta worry about is that Crabbe guy, back at the house. Hopefully he won't cause too much trouble. Then again he's in the basement so he should be fine." Leonardo half muttered and half pondered to himself before entering into the the 3 story tall brick and mortar building
Leonardo soon entered into the decently sized building to see a small multitude of people either doing various workouts from weight-lifting, going at it with a punching bag or speed bag, jump-roping, pad-work, and sparring and other such things. With Leonardo looking around until he saw Mundungus overseeing a sparring match, as the Ultimatrix wielder upon closer inspection; the Mundungus saw that he looked a lot different than when he first met him and when he usually saw him on the television screen for matches and interviews.
With Mundungus standing at a height of 5 foot 8 with powerfully built and oversized arms and shoulders that were built for quick and devastatingly powerful jabs and hooks along with similarly built looking legs that were compact towers of powerful muscle, along with a wide barrel shaped chest. With his bloodshot muddy brown eyes sharp as ever from years and years of experience from working his way up as a boxer and mixed martial artist, and short ginger colored hair with small shocks of grey as he headed closer and closer towards middle-age.
"Oh there ya are. I was wonderin' when ya show up 'ere." Mundungus greeted the Ultimatrix wielder
"Sorry about not showing up sooner. But I just had a few things to take care of, one of which has been a real pain in my ass to sort out." Leonardo replied in an unknowing referral to his getting information out of Crabbe Sr.
"Well, your here now. So its pretty good to see ya. So now that your here we can get ya started in seeing how good you are. Then we can do a bit of sparrin' to see how good you stack up." Mundungus told the Ultimatrix wielder in wanting to have him go through some exercises first before having him do a sparring match with a regular to see how well he could fair
"Sounds good to me." Leonardo replied in being more than happy to get started
So with all of that being said Leonardo got to work on doing his exercises in order to get him warmed up for a sparring match and throughout them Leonardo proved to show that thanks to his lifestyle of witch and monster hunting that he showed a highly noteworthy level of athleticism and overall strength. Something that impressed the now former super middleweight and light heavyweight champion and after the small battery of exercises and tests were done for Leonardo, he soon found him ready to do a sparring match against one of the many who trained at his gym.
"Alright you two, I want to have a good clean match. Am I understood?" Mundungus told the two opponents who nodded
"Then let's get it on!" Mundungus spoke stepping back to serve as referee while the two got into boxing stances of their own
With Leonardo to the surprise of his opponent who was a red-haired, blue-eyed fair-skinned lad about a few years his age; had got into a Southpaw stance while his opponent got into a Orthodox stance as the two started eyeing each other. This lasted a few seconds before they closed the distance against each other and began their sparring match, as Leonardo from the jump went on the offensive in throwing a constant stream of deceptively thunderous haymakers that had his opponent on the defensive.
The Ultimatrix wielder knew that he had to come down hard on his opponents, otherwise due to his inexperience against a more technical fighter he'd wind up knocked out; hence why he proceeded to deliver a non-stop barrage of heavy handed punches and knees This continued onslaught of attacks made a good chunk of their marks on his opponent due to the majority of them being body shots that were struck with the sole purpose of staggering his opponent and opening them up for more punches, which was easier said than done due to his opponent being a rather speedy counter-puncher.
Which put him at a disadvantage considering how his reflexes weren't fast enough to dodge the rather fast retaliatory punches and the uppercuts and punches his red-headed opponent threw at him, hence why Leonardo was able to show that despite his haggard and wiry frame that he was more than able to whether the storm. Something that Mundungus found quite impressive that the Ultimatrix wielder was able to have such an impressive chin, as he was able to withstand a litany of incredibly quick crosses and even some devastating liver shots and deceptively quick takedowns to the mat to his person, yet even throughout all of that he was able to persevere and keep going through it all.
The sparring match which was became a vicious brawl had lasted for nearly 18 minutes as Mundungus had saw that Leonardo despite looking rather roughed up with prominent fat lip on his face, and numerous bruises under his t-shirt looked like he could still go another 8 rounds with his opponent; who looked like he went on a date with a battering ram due to the broken nose, swolen right eye and darker and larger welts and bruises from Leonardo's more powerful punches. With the professional boxer giving some applause to Leonardo as he and his otherwise similarly battered opponent stepped out of the ring, with Mundungus going over to congratulate the 18-year old on a sparring match well thought while he was wiping blood off his face.
"I gotta say, as far as first matches go. You sure gave 'em hell! Who knew you had one hell of a chin on ya." Mundungus congratulated Leonardo for faring so well in his first match
"Thanks. Also, one thing I will say about that guy..is that he sure hits hard, I'll give him that much." Leonardo spoke while spitting out some blood from his busted up mouth
"I bet he'll be saying the same considering how bad you messed him up. As no offense or anything like that, but I didn't think you'd be able to hit that hard. Especially with that left hand you got there." Mundungus admitted in not thinking that with how Leonardo looked that he could throw such thunderously powerful haymakers and hooks
"Well, in my profession. I've made it a priority to have one important thing in the event that I ever get caught with my pants down, as a way to put it. That being, to have an exceedingly durable chin as you put it. Since my line of work doesn't allow for people with glass jaws or piss poor constitutions to be in it. That's why I've made sure that I can always take and endure a punch." Leonardo responded in having made painstakingly sure to be able to increase his own pain tolerance and durability so that it he ever got snuck up on he could take a hell of a hit
"Something that you made pretty damn clear in that sparrin' match. Because you have to have one of the most durable chins I've seen in years." Mundungus noted from the sheer amount of punches that Leonardo withstood without having gone down even once or so much as buckle from any of the blows
"Coming from you, that really means a lot." Leonardo responded in feeling a measure of happiness from the compliment
"Besides that, the only things I can think to star workin' with ya on. Is just given you some refinery to your skills. Cuz' if we can work on making sure you throw those punches better, and show you some better defense and get your footwork up to speed. Then I'd say you'll be well, well on your way." Mundungus told the Ultimatrix wielder in terms of what they needed to work on to help make him a more proficient fighter
"Thanks for the tips. Anyways, I'm gonna head out. Because, my face is kinda killing me right now. Man that guy hit really damn hard..like holy crap I think he might've knocked out some teeth hard." Leonardo spoke as the repeated blows to the face were beginning to hit him right about now and making him feel as though he were roundhouse kicked by Jon Jones himself
"Go on right ahead. See ya when I can." Mundungus spoke as Leonardo nodded and took his leave
'That kid's gonna go places from what I just saw.' Mundungus thought before the day continued onwards with the former boxer continuing his work around the gym
(4 days later, 6:33 Pm, Leonardo's House, August 31st, 2017)
It was 4 days later as Leonardo had taken this time to relax a bit in the 2 story house he bought for himself to stay at during his vacation, before taking the time to head towards the basement where he was currently keeping his prisoner in Crabbe Sr.
"You know. None of this would've had to happen, had you not been a dick and blown up my phone. I mean serious man, just what the fuck is your problem? You don't see me going around and blowing up your stuff, you dick." Leonardo wondered while eating a tub of brownie flavored ice cream as he looked at his captive who just glared daggers at him
"Granted I was able to rebuild it in a night thanks to my Workshop. Even still, it was a pain in the ass to do… I mean do you know how hard it is to have to reinstall all my apps back in there..just..just massive dick move man." Leonardo added as the bloodied Death Eater looked at him growling in pain from being interrogated and tortured by the Ultimatrix wielder
"You think you can hold me here! Just wait till I get my hands on you and…" Crabbe Sr. spoke until a metal collar on his neck flashed bright red and delivered a potent electrical shock to silence him
"In case you haven't noticed. First of all, I snapped your wand. So unless you got any hidden aces up your sleeves then I know full well that means no spells for you. Secondly, just in case I had to ever do this sort of thing on my vacation. I had the walls of this place sound-proofed; so even if you could yell out for help it wouldn't do you any good. Then lastly, even if you could get out of your restraints. I both have some security measures set up just in case and the fact remaining that I can easily eviscerate you with my aliens. Huh, always did like that word eviscerate. Man that's a really fun word to say" Leonardo listed off at the ways at which the Death Eater was at his mercy, something that greatly angered the Crabbe patriarch at the fact that Leonardo held all the cards in this situation
"...Then what do you want with me?!" Crabbe Sr. growled out in anger at his own realized helplessness
"Simple. I want you to tell me some shit. First of all who in the bloody hell is your boss? Because I know that people like you and those other two you were with, have someone higher up on the totem pole you listen to. So I wanna know who that is?" Leonardo inquired as to who the Death Eater's boss was in all of this hullabaloo
"You really don't know who our leader is...or who we are? You must have been hiding under a rock, to not know whom we are." Crabbe Sr. asked back in surprise of the fact that Leonardo had no clue as to who they were
"Besides, some jerks that attacked me for no reason. I know jack diddly squat about you, your boss, or anything about the lot of you shitheads. So please enlighten me on who even are you guys." Leonardo answered back in having no clue about what the Death Eaters nor their leader was all about
So with that Crabbe Sr. in seeing no other choice in his rather bleak situation of getting out and back into the world, decided to tell Leonardo of the Death Eaters, Voldemort and what their endgame was in terms of soon ruling Britain. The Ultimatrix wielder more or less held a impassive demeanor on his face as he continued to eat his ice cream while listening to the Death Eater, in only having remembered from his few jobs in the United Kingdom of them being a Dark Lord and the one who apparently had tried to end him.
It was by the time that Crabbe Sr. had finished telling of what he was as a Death Eater and some of what his glorious master in Voldemort, that Leonardo seemed rather than angry had a look of irritation or annoyance upon his face.
"So you mean to tell me...that my vacation was interrupted by you. All because you decided to serve a cult leader. A cult leader whose greatest enemy is a senile, over-the-hill, possibly arthritic old man and his own cult followers…. I swear this sounds like the goddamn plot to a cheesy young adult novel...Not even the good ones." Leonardo said in feeling a vein appear on his head and begin to pulsate from the great amount of irritation he felt at this moment
"I am not a part of a damned cult! Lord Voldemort is doing wondrous work and soon enough, we will purge all of England and eventually Britain itself of those filthy mudbloods. Then we shall rule all of Brit...ARRGGGHHH!" Crabbe Sr. spat in fervent devotion to Voldemort which had annoyed the Ultimatrix wielder enough to where he shocked him once more and this time for a much more prolonged duration
"WILL YOU STOP DOING THAT!" Crabbe Sr. barked out at Leonardo who just looked at him as though he were a squirming maggot on the floor
"Well, considering how you've interrupted my vacation. Tried to kill me for no fucking reason than my supposedly being a muggle, and being apart of a cult that's trying to exteriminate a race of people. I don't think I will." Leonardo replied and to illustrate his point once more shocked the Crabbe patriarch to where it earned a howl of pain from him
"Considering that you did interrupt it. That leaves what to do with you, and the obvious answer is to simply kill you." Leonardo spoke as he looked around the basement to find something to kill Crabbe Sr. with
"Y-You can't kill me! I'm a noble Lord! People will notice if you kill me, and then you'll be sent to Azkaban!" Crabbe Sr. exclaimed as Leonardo soon found a metal bat but discarded it in not wanting to make a mess of things
"I'm supposed to care because your some fancy, smancy noblemen? Do you know how little that means to me with my track record? Since I've killed a lot of people, and a chunk of them were in your station so give me another reason to care." Leonardo answered back nonchalantly as he discarded a plasma grenade in not wanting to have to clean up chunks of the Death Eater from his walls
"I have a wife and son…." Crabbe Sr. tried to say only for another electric shock to rip through him
"Oh don't you dare use that excuse on me! Especially with what you just told me, that's the last thing you should say to me to have me change my mind. So just for that bullshit excuse, your getting an extra special one" Leonardo said in disgust of the rather piss-poor excuse that was given to him that earned Crabbe Sr another more potent electrical shock
"There we go..I thought I forgot about this, but this oughta do it. I swear I should probably use this more, as I did have a blast building it." Leonardo spoke as he pulled out what looked like a homemade flamethrower from one of the many bins he kept around his basement
With him half heartedly listening to Crabbe Sr's. demands and soon pleas to not to kill him while he soon activated the flamethrower, but before he went ahead with incinerating the Death Eater he quickly went upstairs for a brief moment; with minutes passing before he returned with a small case of gasoline. After sufficiently making sure the Death Eater was covered in enough of it, he then aimed the flamethrower and with a press of the trigger streams of white-hot flame burst forth; causing Crabbe Sr. to bellow and scream in pain as he was set ablaze.
With Leonardo continuing this until Crabbe Sr's. screams of pain stopped and the man stopped thrashing about in his now charred chair, with him then deactivating the device and looking at his handiwork in the form of a heavily scorched corpse of a Death Eater. After that was all settled and after waiting for the corpse to cool and the evening sun to go down and the darkness of night to take hold, he turned into Gravattack and used his gravitational powers to crush and compress it down to a sizable sphere made of dense and burnt human flesh; of which he proceeded to take outside and slam dunk into his trash can.
"That takes care of that piece of trash...along with the trash I already had to take out." Leonardo spoke after transforming back to normal and then dropping another garbage back in the trash can on top of it
"Now, Voldemort. Hmph...didn't think I'd ever have to hear about the guy who set me up on being what I am now along with being in that hellhole with the Dursleys. Perhaps one of these days I ought to pay them a beating." Leonardo mused to himself as he headed back inside in wondering what to do about Voldemort and the Death Eaters
Speaking of said Dark Lord, Voldemort was still at the Malfoy Manor with none other than Lucius Malfoy about something of importance to the Dark Lord.
"Are you sure that the materials for what's to be planned in Scotland are proceeding as planned?" Voldemort questioned the Malfoy patriarch
"Yes, my Lord. The only things we need to procure are the dragon hearts as well as the phoenix ashes and tears. Severus has been informed of his part to play in retrieving the Basilisk heart from the Chamber of Secrets." Lucius answered back in all of what was needed for what Voldemort had planned for Ireland
"Excellent, Lucius! All that will be needed to be done on my part is retrieve a few more of my Horcruxes in order to have my soul be as completed as possible for the ritual.
Then I shall be truly unstoppable." Voldemort congratulated Lucius for the progress that was being made for what would soon grant the dark Lord a grand amount of power
"If I may ask you this, my Lord. Why go through all this trouble to do what you have planned in Scotland? Surely with your Horcruxes, you are already guaranteed immortality." Lucius wondered as to why his master was going through all this trouble when the Horcruxes guaranteed it
"...While it is true that my horcruxes have gifted me with a means of prolonging my life beyond death. I have been shown through what happened with the destruction of my diary; that it isn't as foolproof as I thought. If the pieces of my soul can be so easily destroyed through means of random chance. Then that presents too much of a risk to myself and my plans. SO...I went about looking into a more permanent means of guaranteeing my immortal life, while at the same time a means of making sure this body I possess is given more power. Enough to make it so that I may crush Dumbledore and his feeble light." Voldemort explained their reasoning as to why they were doing this
"Which is why, ever since that faithful I had gone on looking through rituals that would do just that. Soon enough I found one that would give me what I need in terms of not just a life of glorious immortality. One that would also guarantee me enough power to make it so that Dumbledore would stand no chance against me." Voldemort added as while a serpentine grin spread across their face at all the power that they would soon possess from this ritual in question
The Dark Lord knowing full well that it would only be a matter of time before Dumbledore's Order soon found out and realized about their Horcruxes and destroyed them, and not only that but even they knew that their current level of power wouldn't be enough to fully crush the leader of the Light. Hence why this ritual that was to go down in Scotland was their best show at attaining not only true immortality, but also gaining such a great amount of power that not even Dumbledore and his Order combined would stop their full might.
"Is that why Nagini is no longer with you, my Lord?" Lucius questioned in having wondered why Nagini had no longer been with the Dark Lord
"Yes, Lucius. In order to eliminate the weakness that my Horcruxes present, Nagini sadly had to go. A rather sad but necessary loss." Voldemort answered with genuine sadness bleeding into their voice of having to essentially sacrifice their familiar, but saw it as a needed one
"I see my Lord." Lucius replied in contentment of his answer
"Good. Now then, what is the estimated time for when we can proceed with the ritual in Scotland?" Voldemort inquired in terms of how much time they had before everything was ready
"If everything goes accordingly, and if I can get my hands on the last few materials needed. Then we should be set to do everything before winter's end." Lucius informed his master on the estimated amount of time they had before everything was ready
"Excellent! Soon immortality will be at my grasp, and then nothing will stand in our way." Voldemort responded with their smile growing ever eager in anticipation
"Now then Lucius, continue your work on gathering what we need for Scotland. I on the other hand have to get back to work on locating my remaining Horcruxes. Hopefully one of the rituals I've found to recall those pieces of myself will work. For all of my soul, or what remains of it will be needed for what's in Scotland to work." Voldemort added in long since looked for a ritual to reclaim the soul fragments within her Horcruxes so as to eliminate the weaknesses they presented to their long-term mission of soon ruling over Magical Britain
"As you wish my lord, this will all be taken care of as soon as possible." Lucius responded before quickly walking away from his master in knowing not to take up anymore of their time than is needed
'Just you wait, Albus. Soon enough I'll have all the power needed to devour your pitiful light, and then you and the rest of your wretched Order.' Voldemort swore as soon they would have all the power needed to strike down Voldemort and his thrice wretched light
So with the Death Eaters having earned themselves a spot on Leonardo's hit list and said Ultimatrix wielder taking up boxing lessons as part of his vacation, we also see Voldemort gearing up for a potentially game-changing ritual in Scotland. How will this cause things to unfold further down the line with the Dark Lord now that Leonardo's entered into the mess of things? Find out in the all new chapters of, Harry Potter: Alien Chronicles.
Now then onto some of the reviews from the previous chapter.
Greer123: Yeah as Harry or rather Leonardo while his aliens are incredibly versatile and powerful. He himself does have to rely on his gadgets and any of the other technology he builds, and granted is able to throw pretty many punches. There's only so much he can do, so more or less; Leonardo is going to be primarily a tech-based individual that has his aliens backing him up.
TehStorm: First thing is that Leonardo doesn't have a twin in this so much as they are a younger sibling, the age difference being that said sibling is as old as canon Harry is in the story; putting them at around 15 years old. Also, yeah Leonardo does know about his parents because eventually he would've gotten curious about who they were over the 7 year period and eventually found out about who they were. Also fair point since some of them are baseline humans and that's something I accounted for when Leonardo as Cannonbolt decimated the Death Eaters, but there are some who do have magic items and such to make them tougher than your bog standard witch or wizard..Hence why some can take hits from his aliens on top of being able to cast more defensive spells on hand and have wards to help make sure they don't get wreked whenever he turns into something like Rath or Fourarms.
And cut things there as I hoped y'all enjoyed everything that went on within this chapter since it gets the Death Eaters involved in things, but without further delay let's get into it now shall we.
First up we've got Leonardo's 'clash' with the Death Eaters which I hoped y'all liked considering that his victory with Cannonbolt made it a one and done sort of deal since said alien is pretty much a nigh-unstoppable pinball of death.
Following that we've got Yaxley and Snape having to explain things to Voldemort and as such Leonardo gets put on Voldemort's radar, which will come into play further down the line.
Next up we get Leonardo taking up Mundungus to be at his boxing gym and his first ever sparring match which I hoped you guys liked, since I thought this would be a great way to have Leonardo train himself up in case he gets caught with his pants down and can't turn into an alien.
Lastly we've got Leonardo eliminating Crabbe Sr. and Voldemort revealing they've got something in the works concerning Scotland to amp them up. The latter of which is gonna come into play later down the line when Voldemort and Dumbledore have their fight against each other.
That being said I hope y'all enjoy this story and what's to come in the future chapters of it as well as favoriting, following and sending reviews so that we can hopefully make this a pretty decent story. As flames for the most part will be ignored unless you got anything nice to say or that helps the story then go somewhere else.
With all that being said this is Pravus666 signing out until next time with the next chapter having Leonardo encounter some Order members and hang with Mundungus. So stay tuned for all of that.
