Isabel looked up as she heard someone land from a Charge and spotted M standing before her. "M," she asked. "Why are you here?"

"Harry's in danger," said the Australian girl, voice filled with worry. "My boss said that the First Sons are attacking Lyon. He seemed to know that something was wrong with Harry because he sent me to get help here." Isabel looked at Cindy and saw her friend was now scared. Her son was in danger and here she was sitting around.

"He shouldn't have gone alone. Dammit. I need to get there, now!"

"We need the Technomancers to help deal with the First Sons."

"We need to do something about the power first," said Holly. "I've just done a media scan of phones in Lyon. It's facing a citywide blackout."

"They've made the city a Dark Zone," said Draco who was working on a project nearby. "Any Technomancers in the city are going to be sitting ducks!"

"Shit," said Isabel. "That means they've got people in the powerplants around the city. They're trying to land a major strike at Interpol's base of operations. We need to get those powerplants up and running again."

"Well we can't exactly get close without power," said M.

"You can't," said Draco. "But we can. Our armor comes equipped with backup generators to fuel us in Dark Zones."

"Way ahead of you," said Luna as she walked into the Bunker, already armored up. She placed a crate in front of him. "Suit up. We've got a ride waiting for us to take us to the city and the first powerplant."

"Hold on," said Isabel. "You're insane if you think we're letting any of you go into a potential warzone. I know you said you'd help Harry against the First Sons, but this is different. This is not a situation where you have the drop on people like Harry has had in the past. Lyon has no power. You would need to make your way to each powerplant in streets crawling murderers with military training!"

"As much as I want to save Harry," said Cindy. "I have to agree with Isabel. You're not going."

"What are you going to do," asked a voice at the entrance to the bunker. Everyone but Luna looked up to see a tall man with a red trench coat and red wide brimmed hat. "Grab that guy who can stop us? What was his name? Michael Mc-Doesn't-Exist?"

"Dad," said Isabel. "Why the fuck are you here?"

"I called him," said Luna. She went to her desk and pulled out a small box before heading back to the man. "Asked him to borrow his master's jet to take us to Lyon about an hour ago." Isabel checked her pocket and found her phone was missing. She gave Luna a look before turning back to her father.

"Dad. Get the jet back to Integra. Where the hell did you even…" Isabel looked outside and found the jet had crushed multiple trees in the forest as it landed in front of the Bunker. "How did I miss that?"

"Soundproof walls," said Luna as Draco got his armor on. Luna Charged through the Gibraltar and got Holly before Charging back and plugging Holly into her helmet.

"How long have you known this was going to happen," asked M.

"What's today?"

"Saturday," said Isabel's father.

"Two hours then."

"I like her."

"You're not allowed," said Isabel. "Luna, you're going nowhere. Not without me." Isabel threw off her uniform robes and revealed workout clothes underneath.

"Really," asked Cindy.

"I was gonna workout after the trial was done." Isabel turned to where Filch was and saw him looking through a First Year textbook and testing out the spells within with glee. "Shit. Why now of all times?"

"Holly says the security cameras are still recording Filch," said Luna. "Seeing when Hecate will wear off. Can we stop standing around? M. There's a spare armor in the back of the Bunker as well as a spare helmet Harry's been working on. Put on the armor and bring the helmet. Harry's going to need it. I've called Cole, he, Lucy and Nyx are going to wait to hear from us before Charging over. If you're coming, then hurry up. We're leaving with or without you." Luna left the room and Draco turned to his teachers as M started putting on the armor Luna told her about.

"What do we do," asked the Gryffindor. Cindy sighed before turning to him.

"Charge me to my room. I need to get something that should help," said Cindy.

"You're getting that aren't you," asked Isabel.

"If the Commander is there, a power boost would be helpful. Call my brother. Harry made an upgrade for his Amp that we should bring him."

"I can't believe we're letting children do this," said Isabel. "We've got to be the worst teachers in history."

"You're not my godfather," said Draco before taking Cindy to her room. Isabel sighed before turning to her father with an angry glare.

"Now, now," said the ancient vampire. "Don't give me that look. If she hadn't called me, you would've, and you know it."

"Not to put my students in danger."

"What's a little danger?! Gets the blood pumping and only a few nightmares as they grow up reliving the horrible events they're about to witness." Isabel used her Sanguimancy to control whatever blood is in her father's veins to break his arm.

"You're not helping."

"Then maybe this will." Her father reached into his body and pulled out a box before holding it out to her. "I know you've been wanting to be like dear old Daddikins. Well here you go." Reluctantly, Isabel took the box and revealed two heavy caliber pistols. "Naraka and Svarga."

"Hell and Heaven? Couldn't be a little more original, Dad?"

"You gave them their names when you were a child, Draculina. And they were made to work with your Sanguimancy, curtesy of your sister."

"Don't call Police Girl my sister. That's… wrong."

"Are we going or what," asked M as she strolled passed the two. Isabel sighed as Cindy and Draco returned, the former carrying a ridged wand.

"The Elder Wand," questioned Isabel's father. "So, the old coot finally gave it up, huh? Is he dead? Did you kill him. Oh, please tell me you didn't kill him. I've been waiting to do that for the better part of a century."

"Careful, Mr. Alucard," said Cindy as she walked past him. "Your eagerness is showing."

"Where?" Isabel facepalmed as Alucard started looking over his body.

"If he wasn't already dead, I'd kill Schrodinger for making you an idiot."

"Oh, you know you love me more this way! Adds a little humanity to my charm!"

"Just shut up for the ride there."

"No."

"God, how did Mom put up with you?"

"Well I was saner when we met."

"That's debatable." She followed him into the jet where she spotted the Technomancers all sitting in seats with their armor on, some of them looking nervous. "Who's too nervous to go?" She looked at each of them and saw none of them raise their hands. She sighed. "Not a single one of you could make this easier for me? Alright then." Isabel sat down as the phone in the jet began to ring. Alucard grinned as Luna simply lifted the receiver and slammed it down.

"I want to keep her for myself," said Alucard.

"The hell you will."

"This is going to be a long fifteen minutes," groaned Blaise.

"Who is this," asked Daphne.

"Meet my dad," said Isabel. "Vlad Tepes."

"Ah, ah, ah. The full title," chastised Alucard. "With the bow." Isabel growled softly before standing up.

"Allow me to introduce the Son of the Dragon, First Vampire, and Rightful Ruler of the kingdom of Wallachia and my Father, Vlad Tepes III of Wallachia," she deadpanned before giving a halfhearted bow.

"And your own…" Luna matched the grin she saw on Alucard's face as Isabel glared at him.

"And I am Isabella Tepes of Wallachia. Granddaughter of the Dragon, Daughter of the Demon and First Vampire. Rightful Heiress to the throne of the Kingdom of Wallachia." Luna grinned even more as Isabel growled while giving a curtsey.

"Oh, you are just a treat," said Luna as she filed away what they had just seen to show Harry later. Isabel grumbled before plopping down in a seat, making her students chuckle slightly before everyone was seated and the jet took off as the other teachers of Hogwarts ran outside to see what had happened.

"It was necessary, you know," said Alucard softly as he sat beside his daughter, the pilot taking off as he snapped his fingers. "Liven things up for these kids before they go do something incredibly stupid. Their nerves aren't as on edge, but they still know what is at stake."

"I know. I remember you doing the same thing with me before the Millennium Assault."

"Good times."

"I still wish you would've told me what you did. Turning Yumi into a familiar and releasing her like that."

"Would you have spoken to me otherwise?"

"You know I wouldn't have."

"Then it worked how I wanted. How is old Anderson, anyway?"

"He's sick." She nodded to Lily as the mute girl was looking outside of the window seat she'd taken. "That's his daughter. They keep in touch. Recently, she learned he has cancer. We don't know how long he has left. Could be years, could be months. And now I'm about to take his daughter into a warzone." She turned to her father fully. "Oh, before I forget. No absorbing the souls of the dead. Not here."

"Oh, come on! Just a snack!"

"No! End of discussion!" Alucard crossed his arms like a child and pouted.

"Every party needs a pooper, that's why they invited you…"

"Don't sulk, Dad. Act your age."

"Overrated," said Luna before she got up and went to Daphne. "You ok?"

"I'm worried about Harry," replied the Slytherin girl.

"I know. All of us are. But he's not about to die to these bastards. Harry's too prideful to let that happen. Sometimes he's more Gryffindor than Ravenclaw, I swear."

"Can you see anything?" Luna shook her head.

"Doesn't work like that and you know it. I only saw Lyon being attacked and power being restored, as well as giving Harry his prototype helmet."

"I can't believe we left Susan at Hogwarts."

"She asked to stay, remember? She's the only one without specialized magic to back her up and only has basic spells. She knew she'd just be getting in the way, like with the Basilisk."

"I know, but still. Both of us are Betrothed to Harry. We should both be looking after him."

"She will, when he gets back. She's going to find a book on old Healing Magic in the library. That's how she'll help. Not during a fight, but after."

"It's very inconsistent, your Gift."

"Don't you think I know that?" The two girls shared a chuckle before Luna put her helmet back on and looked at Holly as she turned off her external speakers. "Should I be more worried?"

"Considering Harry's luck? No. It's not the first time he's gotten lucky in the face of danger. Empire City, New Marais, The Chamber, Singapore. Each time Harry's gone in with little to no information about what he'd be facing. He hasn't escaped any of those without some type of injury. Kessler has been testing Harry each time. But I wonder if he is the only one being tested."

"What do you mean?"

"Harry told us about the Beacons, those to light the way for the future. Five people in total. Potentially, Noir is the Fourth. Who, then, is the fifth?"

Harry shouted out in excruciating agony as his mind was filled with a repeating equation taking up most of his mental faculties. For some reason, he couldn't stop it. A Zip Bomb only opens up antivirus software to insert a virus into the program. Why was he and Noir affected like this? And for that matter, how could a Zip Bomb affect him? He wasn't connected to it. He had to be linked to the internet in order to… Harry blinked and glanced down at the device at his feet. It was an emitter, sending out a shortrange signal. Harry tried to see if he could drain it, but the algorithm became two. Something about this device was different than a normal Zip Bomb. He glanced at Dr. Simmons and saw she was standing off to the side, conflict on her face. "D-Dr.… Help…"

"I can't," said the doctor. "I told you, he has control of me somehow! I can't move!" Harry shouted out as he felt his lightning being drained. A familiar sensation he felt before, with the woman who attacked him on Halloween. He looked up at the clamps holding himself and Noir and saw yellow sparks coming from the ceiling. 'How?! How did they get the drop on us?!' Harry thought to the Commander's words and glanced at Noir. She'd passed out from the pain being put on her mind. Harry blinked and activated Schematic to try and see the signal, doing his best to ignore the new algorithm that popped up, adding new strain to his mind. With her unconscious, the signal was no longer reaching her mind. Seeing what happened, Harry got an idea. He kept trying to use his power, increasing the algorithms popping up in his brain. Simmons covered her ears as his screams got louder and louder until finally, he passed out.

Sergeant Calhoun looked around as he and his team stood guard over a powerplant. The Commander had told them to kill anyone that tried to get in and especially the only one's who could cause trouble for them, Technomancers. But given what they'd found out about those people, it wasn't likely that any would be trying to get to a powerplant to restore power. There wasn't any power in the city for them to function properly. So when two people came into the powerplant, one clad in a long red trench coat, and the other a woman with long white hair, Calhoun wasn't afraid of what they'd be capable of. "Open fire," he shouted. He and the ten First Sons he'd captured the plant with fired on the two people in front of them. The woman disappeared as soon as the bullets started flying and the man took the full brunt of the barrage. Calhoun cursed and turned to his men as the man in red dropped. "Spread out! Find that woman and kill her as quickly as possible! Looks like she's a witch! The Commander told us how to deal with them so…" Calhoun paused as he saw his men staring behind him. "What the hell are you looking at?! I gave you an order!"

"They're frozen in fear," said a bone-chilling voice behind him. He whirled around and spotted the man standing up, the blood that had pooled around him oozing back up into his body. "Understandable really, given what their seeing." He watched as the man's eyes fixed on him. "I mean a man fixing himself after being blown apart by bullets kind of puts the fear of God into anyone. If God were real anyways. Did you really think we'd come here without a plan? My daughter being the smartest woman in the world isn't just a title you know."

"Who the hell are you?!" Calhoun was silenced as a .45 caliber bullet entered his head and exited out the back of it, covering his men with brain matter.

"Boom. Headshot. Now then. Boys, Daddy's feeling hungry. Who wants to give him a snack?" Alucard grinned, showing off his sharpened teeth to the First Sons in front of him. Isabel started working on the powerplant and paused only when she heard the screaming behind her. She sighed before turning on the plant again and pulled out her radio.

"Alright. This section of the city is up and running. Get out there and help!"

"Already moving," came Pansy's reply. Isabel turned around and shot the man she heard trying to sneak up on her.

"Really, you let one get away to force me to kill him? Now's not the time for this, Dad."

"Just trying to make sure my daughter doesn't let her guard down," said Alucard as he walked over to her, mouth covered in blood, a piece of meat dangling from his teeth. Isabel tossed him a toothpick.

"We don't have time for this. We need to get to the next powerplant."

"Alright, you're the boss."

"Why are you helping, anyway?"

"I have my own lot in this. I want to see how this turns out."

"In other words, we're here for your amusement, as usual."

"Don't be like that. That boy of yours has been molding this world into something new since you met him, you just haven't noticed it yet. These First Sons are his first obstacle, one he can fight personally and inspire others to fight against as well. Since you found him, and since his magic was discovered, he's been working to bring the worlds together. I want to see what this world will be like, and how he will go about doing it. Consider me along for the ride, for now."

"Oh, joy."

Luna turned to her classmates as they headed into the city with Padma staying on the jet with Cindy and Su Li. "M, you're with me and Daphne. I can lead us to Harry. The rest of you, outmaneuver the First Sons and help law enforcement get civilians to safety with the functioning Technomancers. Split up to cover more ground."

"Who put you in charge," asked Lena.

"Considering she's a Seer," said Fred. "I think it's best we listen to the one who can see potential outcomes rather than going in blind."

"Can we please hurry up," asked Millicent. "There are people getting hurt out here!" Draco nodded and turned to his classmates.

"We need to get people out as fast as possible," he said. "Mechanists and Conduits team up. One focus on healing, the other focus on communication with law enforcement and rescue services. Time to put Translation to the test. If we encounter the First Sons…"

"…Hit and run," said Blaise. "We're not ready for a full engagement. If we come across them, we strike them hard, obscure their vision, get the civilians out of danger. If you get pinned down, try and find a way out."

"And how are we supposed obscure their vision," asked George.

"Flashbangs," said M as she Materialized a crate in front of them. "I always have some on hand in case whatever my employer sends me into goes south. This case holds twelve. One per team. After that, improvise."

"Pulse your lightning," said Pansy. She held up her hand and flashed lightning in her hands before it formed a ball and flashed brightly. Luna blinked as she covered her eyes and looked around.

"Down," she shouted and tackled Lily to the ground as a bullet flew right where her head used to be. Blaise Materialized several mechanical darts and shot them at the First Son he spotted on the roof of a nearby building. The First Son collapsed as the darts pierced the weak points in his modified tech armor and through vital areas.

"What did you do," asked Neville.

"Armor piercing tech darts," said Blaise. "Didn't think they'd work that well…" Luna blinked her vision back to normal and saw Blaise's hand shaking. She pressed two fingers to his temple and erased the memory. She turned to the others.

"We're too young for something like that. If things start to head down that path, Delete the memory of the action. We're not soldiers or killers. We're kids trying to save our friend and the people in this city."

"You need to drop that thinking here and now," said M. "We're facing an enemy that won't think twice about killing us. We should respond in kind."

"And mentally scar us for life," asked Millicent. "Why would you suggest that?!"

"We're wasting time here! The longer we stand around talking, the more danger Harry is potentially in. We need to move now! Take a flashbang and go!" M grabbed a flashbang and used her Overcharged Static Thrusters to go to the rooftops. Draco took a flashbang and turned to Pansy.

"Let's go. She's right, we're burning daylight and running out of time. Pansy with me, Milly with Neville, Gemini goes without saying, Lily with Blaise, Lena with Tonks. You two coordinate with Luna and meet up when they find Harry." The Technomancers nodded and split up after collecting their flashbangs.

As Pansy and Draco ran down a street, they found a cyber café with the symbol Technomancers had developed to help identify where Magical Hubs could be located. I holographic projection only seen with Schematic of a T with circuit lines throughout within what looked like a squared circle. Pansy popped her head in and met eyes with one of the patrons. "Everyone ok in here," she asked in practiced French. After receiving several nods, she sighed. "First Sons are attacking Lyon. We're students at Hogwarts trying to help a friend of ours who got stuck in the city when it happened as well as others. We need as much help saving people as we can get."

"We'll do what we can," said a boy a few years older than she was. "We'll help with communications and contact GIGN to help fight." Pansy nodded and took off with Draco once more. Almost instantly, their minds were flooded with ingoing and outgoing information as multiple signals left the café at once not just to people in the city, but nearby towns and cities as well.

"Age of technology," said Draco. "All connected."

"And yet still worlds apart," said Pansy as they kept running.

The twins came across a group of First Sons aiming their guns at a group of people on their knees and holding a device in front of one of them. "What is that," asked Fred.

"It looks like an EMF reader, brother," said George.

"Brilliant," said both twins at once as they blasted the First Sons with a combined Lightning Bolt amplified by their armors. The First Sons shouted in surprise and pain while they formed a half Faraday spell around the civilians, saving them from the bullets fired from the guns of the First Sons. George grabbed the EMF reader and saw it go haywire at his touch.

"So, they're picking us out."

"And now we have a better way of finding them and others like us to help," said Fred. He dismantled it with Construction and reassembled it before turning to his brother. "Shall we send this to the others?"

"You read my mind dear brother." They sent the design to the other Hogwarts Technomancers before Charging into a powerline.

Blaise and Lily Spark Stepped with a few civilians in their arms Blaise sent a stream of Tech Darts out, pushing the First Sons back as they tried firing on their location. "Their like ants," said the text across Blaise's visor.

"Yeah. I know. Hold on. Got an idea." He shot a dart past the First Sons amidst a barrage of others and planted one at their feet. "Transmitters. Private short-range frequency. Give us a positional advantage." Lily looked at the transmitter before another idea came to mind.

"I can add to this." She lit up her hands and fired into the transmitter at their feet. Blaise peeked around the corner they hid behind and spotted lightning shoot from the other transmitter, shocking most of the First Sons into unconsciousness. The two left standing formed Tech Armor from nearby shops and ran at them.

"Two Artificial Technos incoming." Lily stepped out of cover and shot out her hands. Yellow lightning arced from her hands to the two men who collapsed as they gripped their heads from the lack of energy. Blaise looked at her as she dusted off her hands.

"Long range draining. Seems to be my unique thing."

"Not complaining. Let's heal these people and move on." Lily nodded before glancing at him.

"Thanks for saving me earlier." Blaise blinked before turning to her.

"When?" Lily almost responded before she remembered Luna erasing his memory of what he'd done and thought better of it.

"When we found this group, you stopped a bullet from hitting me with a Static Shield."

"Right, everything happened at once, must've just slipped my mind." Lily nodded and saw his face relax slightly as a memory of saving her in the recent fight replaced the erased memory she almost brought up.

'I need to bring this up with Professor Daniels later,' she thought to herself.

M turned to Luna as they hopped to a building rooftop. "Where to now," she asked.

"We're two blocks away from where my vision showed me to go." Daphne turned to both of them as they blinked rapidly.

"What happened?"

"EMF design from the twins," said Luna. "The First Sons are picking out Technomancers who aren't reacting to the lack of power out in public. Those not having seizures and who could easily fight back against them."

"It's smart," said M before heading in the direction Luna said to go. They got to street level when both Luna and M gripped their heads in pain as a repeating algorithm entered their minds. "Fuck!"

"What's going on," asked Daphne.

"Z-Zip Bomb," said Luna. "It's stopping us from doing anything… aahh!" Daphne watched as both girls collapsed. "Th-there's a device in there! Stop it or break it! It's hurting us and Harry!" Daphne nodded and ran to where Luna pointed. She spotted two men standing outside a door and hid as they aimed their guns at her. She covered her ears as they started firing. She spotted the two girls still writhing in pain and steeled herself before shooting herself into the air with a pillar of ice. She concentrated her magic and formed a large ball of ice before sending it to the First Sons below her while blocking their incoming fire. Both men dived out of the way before they found themselves frozen to the ground instantly.

Daphne looked up and spotted Lucy Kuo nearby. "Nice work, kid," she called. Daphne smiled before rushing to the building. She froze the door before sending a smaller ball of ice than earlier at it, shattering it into pieces. A woman standing nearby Harry and Noir gasped as she turned around to face the now missing door. Daphne glared at the woman who raised her arms in defense.

"Please," she said. "I didn't want to do it! He has some sort of control over me! I didn't want to do it!" Daphne ignored her before moving to Harry and looking up at the claws holding him and Noir in the air. She spotted the device on the ground and picked it up before freezing it in her hand and smashing it by throwing the device against a wall. The look on discomfort on Harry's face ceased immediately and outside, she could hear Luna and M start to quiet down. A mechanical snarling sound caught her attention from above her. She looked up and spotted the claws holding the two unconscious Technomancers start to move.

"Oh, fuck me…" She backed away as the ceiling opened up and two mechanical beasts attached to the claws in the shape of a tiger leapt down and snarled at her. Red cybernetic eyes glared at her as the two mechanical predators circled her. "Ma'am, can you move?" The woman nodded. "Good, because I need you to get the people outside to help me." The mechanical tiger holding Harry roared and charged at Daphne. The girl barely made a wall of ice in time to try and stop the swipe of its paw only for it to smash through the wall. Daphne screamed in surprise as a ball of ice impacted with its head and froze its servos solid. Both tigers turned to the doorway and Lucy stared them down.

The tiger holding Harry growled softly and started heating up its body, yellow lightning draining Harry as it did. "It's using a Storm Dragon Lure," said Luna from behind Lucy. "They're using the two of them as extra batteries to operate."

"How do we get them out," asked Daphne.

"What are they made of," asked M.

"Inner components are copper," said the woman behind them. "But the armor is made of titanium. You'll never be able to hurt them with your Electrokinesis."

"Titanium is susceptible to heat in an oxygen rich environment," said M. "But it looks like the heating is controlled."

"Besides," said Luna. "The fire would burn Harry and Noir."

"Little help would be nice," called Daphne as she ducked under another swipe as the second tiger leapt at Lucy.

"There's an override chip in their heads," said the woman. "If you can get a signal to them, you can take control of them and appear on their IFF sensors as friendly. But that requires getting close and using a physical port."

"Not a problem," said Luna. "Daphne. Do you have that device Dr. Zhou created?!"

"Can't reach it," said Daphne as she froze her tiger's paw to the ground before dodging a swipe from the other paw. Daphne spotted a blur of blue as Holly shot from the holo-emitters in Luna's armor to her position. She grabbed the device from a pouch at Daphne's back and pressed the button before dropping it in the center of the room. Both tigers' movements slowed as their servos started freezing. Luna got in close to the tiger holding Noir and planted Holly's chip in its head. The tiger roared as its limbs started heating up without Draining Noir. The red eyes turned blue and the tiger shook its head before turning on the other one.

It tackled the other tiger to the ground and held it down with its jaws as Luna removed the chip and planted it into the other tiger. The tiger roared and thrashed before its eyes turned blue as well and let Harry down. The girls breathed a sigh of relief before Daphne turned to Lucy. "How did you even find us?"

"Isabel gave me a GPS tracking device and told me which signal was Luna's who never blocks her own signal." Lucy held up a tablet. "Cole's on the ship with Cindy and Padma. I'm surprised they weren't joining the rest of you."

"They stayed behind to guard the jet and Cindy," said Luna. "Plus, we have an uneven ratio of Conduits to Mechanists. And this way, we have someone to contact the rest of us quickly in case the First Sons find the landing area."

"And where's Isabel?"

"With her dad, killing First Sons and restoring power to the city to help the native Technomancers." Luna looked outside as she felt energy flowing in a Dark section nearby. "Feels like they got another plant up and running. We need to get other Technomancers to start helping, this city is too big for just us."

"What about the law enforcement," asked the woman.

"GIGN has been contacted and are deploying wherever they can. Technomancers are moving out to engage the First Sons as well following the tips on the forums." Luna picked up the remains of the Zip Bomb device. "We need to get word out about more of these devices possibly being deployed."

"That's the only one," said the woman.

"The Commander is like us. He can reconstruct a device after looking at it just once. I doubt he's stupid enough to just bring one device."

"On my way here," said Lucy. "I saw a man tangled in cables coming from the ground. It looked like he was unconscious and had some weird eye whirring all over the place."

"Auror Alastor Moody," said M. "I think he was called here to assist with the investigations into the First Sons."

"Auror," asked the woman. They turned to her and realized she wasn't a part of the Magical Community. She was a No-Maj scientist who developed devices the First Sons had just used against them. A dangerous enemy or powerful ally.

"Ma'am," asked Luna. "How did the First Sons get you to help them?"

Lena and Tonks groaned as they drained a nearby lamppost to heal the bullet wounds they'd received while helping a group of civilians. Their armors protected their chest, but the armor was weakest around the joints and limbs. "Remind me to talk with Mr. Akagi about the armor," said Tonks. "I hate getting shot."

"Oh, I'll do more than remind you. I'll go with you to give my two Knuts to the man," said Lena. They stood up as a Technomancer ran over to them.

"Are you two alright," asked the man with a French accent.

"Yeah," said Tonks. "Just swell."

"Hogwarts students, right?" The two looked at him. "A few Technomancers told us that you were here helping the citizens. We weren't about to let you people save our own asses without us. We came to help."

"All the help is appreciated," said Lena. "For now, focus on getting people out of harms way. Only engage when you have no choice. And…"

"Have a Mechanist look for the weak Points in the armor. We've read the tips in the forums." He looked beyond them and paused. "Mon dieu…" They turned around and spotted a man with a silver mask standing a few yards away from them.

"Lena Oxton. Nymphadora Tonks. I see Izzy is getting power restored to the city. I thought this would be too easy. Thank you for giving me and my men a challenge. Give my regards to Harry when you see him next." The Commander tossed a device at their feet and the Zip Bomb activated, sending the repeating algorithm into any Technomancer within its radius. The Commander snapped and cables restrained them to the ground from beneath the street.

"Sir," came a call over his radio. "We need backup! He's a fucking monster! We can't- argh!" The Commander turned off his radio before Flash Stepping onto the roof of a building and walking away from the disoriented Technomancers. Tonks growled as her purple lightning coursed around her and to the device before it short circuited. The algorithm stopped and Tonks then morphed her body to slip out of the cables.

"Nobody calls me Nymphadora…" She formed a small blade of plasma and cut through the cables holding Lena and the French Technomancer. "Warn others about that device. We need to find our friends." The boy nodded and Charged into a powerline. Tonks stomped on the device and glared at where the Commander went.

"We can't fight him," said Lena.

"I know. Doesn't mean I don't want to."

"Let's go!" They Charged away, leaving a cloaked drone watching over the events of the city.

As he surveyed the footage his drones were compiling, the Voice, Mr. Harper, watched the Hogwarts Technomancers coordinating with the French Technomancers and No-Maj emergency services. "What's your game, Commander? Why Lyon? It's not just because of Interpol, so what is your endgame?" He heard a blip and switched screens. His eyes widened as he spotted an update.
