Chapter 4
The four wizards have lost count of how many hours they have been working trying to find an Armageddon prophecy about a mountain. After about two hours Remus couldn't continue, since transforming into the werewolf without the full moon to strengthen him weakened him he needed a rest, so he rested on a couch that was near the door. A thing Snape saw as laziness and really brought his appreciation of Remus down, when just a few hours ago it rose to new levels.
"I found something! How could we have missed it?" Sirius cried.
"What?" Dumbledore was relieved.
"The word Armageddon is derived from a mountain, mount Megiddo," the thing made Sirius laugh, it was so obvious and right under their noses.
"Where is the mountain?" Snape asked.
"The Turkish empire" Sirius was a bit stunned.
"When was this book written?" he asked himself while checking.
"1902, nice, well it doesn't matter, here are the coordinates" he turned the book and showed them to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore used a summoning charm and brought a map of the world.
"It is where Israel is now" he said after checking the map.
"Remus!" He cried to wake him up.
******
When Remus woke up he saw his companions standing near the bookshelves and Dumbledore seemed to be checking a map. Dumbledore said something to the other two and yelled.
"Remus!"
"I'm up, what did you find?" he asked, but he felt a bit funny, all the windows were closed and so was the door, but he felt a breeze.
"Dumbledore, do you feel a breeze?" he asked as he walked towards them.
"Indeed, I do." the breeze got stronger and what seemed to be a wormhole formed in the library. The hole was colored blue, not red, which means it wasn't a transport gate.
"What's going on?" Remus cried as the wind got stronger and someone came through the wormhole.
******
Harry was almost on autopilot when he reached mount Megiddo. And then he felt it. It was some kind of an aura, a white one, a good one, a strong one, maybe even as strong as he had. He needed to rest a few minutes, before the start of the End of the World could begin.
******
"Who are you?" Dumbledore asked with a firm tone when the wormhole closed, but the figure was still in the shades.
"Don't you recognize me?" She asked and stepped into the light. There was something very familiar in the tone of her voice.
The four wizards were stunned to see her. It was Hermione standing in front of them, but not quite the Hermione they remembered. She was a bit taller, with longer hair and she wore some kind of bright yellow armor.
"Who are you?" none of them believed their eyes.
"I think I need to explain some things." she started to look not so threatening as she was a few seconds ago.
"Are you aware of the parallel universes theory?" she asked them.
"Other worlds that are similar to our own in time but things are different there?" Snape replied.
"Kind of. The point in time where Harry, Ron and myself fight Voldemort is shared by most universes, but in every universe the outcome is different." She looked at them and paused.
"I come from a parallel universe, where I was the one to survive the fight, and I was the one to get the powers that your Harry now has." She continued.
"So you are evil" Snape aimed his wand at her, but was stopped by Sirius.
"Come on Snape, use your sense, she wouldn't have explained it all to us if she was evil."
"Right, Sirius, you were always my favourite teacher." She smiled.
"Teacher?" he asked, but she ignored his remark.
"My powers told me, that this is a problematic universe, since here Harry was unable to control his new powers, unlike myself and most of the Harrys, Hermiones and Rons, and it's not only your world he is going to destroy, but it is all of the universes" the four wizards looked shocked.
"So if you'll allow me, Dumbledore, I'll call for a little reinforcement." He nodded in agreement.
A few seconds later a wormhole opened again and three more wizards came out of there, all Harry look alikes.
It was a bit hard for them to see another Harry, and another, and another standing right in front of them.
"This Harry" Hermione pointed at the first Harry from her left, "Comes from a world where the Scots rule the world." Snape released a laugh and Harry, who wore a short robe and a kilt, frowned at him
"This one" Hermione continued, "Comes from a world of mage knights, kind of like my world."
The Harry she was referring to also wore armor, but a different one.
"And last, but not least" Hermione gestured towards the third Harry, "comes from a world where the Americans rule over Britain."
"We are all as powerful as your Harry, and we will help you defeat him."
"What can we do?" Dumbledore asked.
"Your Harry is going to bring an army of demonic warriors, stronger then any muggle or wizard. The Harrys will fight these creatures while we make your Harry brake the spell, at all costs." She looked at them.
Now Dumbledore faced a new dilemma, he must save the world, but will he be able to kill his best student, the one he swore to save after Hermione and Ron died.
"Of course." He replied coldly.
"Wait, I can help the fighting" Remus said, and Hermione and the Harrys gave Remus a skeptic look.
Remus decided to show what he meant. The change this time was easier and less painful and seconds later he was the werewolf again.
"Very impressive, I didn't know you were able to control werewolf changing on this world." Hermione said with much appreciation.
"Remus is the first one who managed to do so." Sirius mentioned, smiling to his friend who changed back into his usual form.
"Then let's go, we have a long way to go to get to Israel" she pulled a rolled up carpet and threw it in the air.
"Sorry to tell you Hermione, but flying carpets are illegal in this world." Remus said.
Hermione pulled the carpet back, unhappily.
"So how are we supposed to get there?" she asked.
"Well, we can leave the school premises and use a transport gate." Dumbledore replied.
"Lets go." Hermione led the strange group out of the door.
******
Harry felt it again a few more times, and he understood the feeling he had. He now sensed the force of a new group of strong wizards, almost as strong as he himself, but it didn't matter. He can start the curse now. He said a few words in an ancient language and the mountain turned into a plane. He flatted the mountain.
******
A transport gate took the group to Israel. When they came out of the gate they were a bit confused.
"Where is the mountain?" Sirius asked, looking around.
"It's flat now." Hermione replied.
"Look." she pointed calmly at a point far from them. The point grew and turned into a big black orb.
"It has begun. Your Harry is there." A very visible army of demonic warriors appeared while Hermione spoke. Dumbledore gasped and estimated a number of one thousand warriors.
"We are outnumbered." He said.
"We can handle them." the Scottish Harry interfered. He took a stick from his belt, and with a quick move through the air, it turned into a big golden hammer.
Remus turned into a werewolf.
Mage knight Harry took out a sword, which shimmered in white light, and American Harry took out a staff.
"Lets go!" Scottish Harry called out and the four started running towards the army.
******
Hermione took out her flying carpet.
"We'll use it as an aerial support." Dumbledore declared.
And the three started shooting fireballs, lightning balls and other long-range attacks, while Hermione steered the carpet.
******
The ground forces started taking out demonic warriors. Remus took off heads with his claws, while American Harry burned, froze or electrocuted warriors with the touch of his staff.
The mage knight showed great skills with his sword, and with fine spells he took out a few dozen creatures, while Scottish Harry knocked them out with his hammer.
The war was in progress and going good, until a new set of warriors showed up, bringing the number of warriors up to almost two thousand.
******
Dumbledore, Sirius and Snape were too busy shooting spells to notice that three warriors formed a ladder, which a fourth warrior climbed on. The warrior creature reached up to the carpet.
"Take this." Hermione threw a little sword at Sirius. The sword magically lengthened in air, and like the sword of mage knight Harry, it shimmered in a bright light.
Sirius, proved to be a skilled swordsman, attacked the warrior creature. One quick hit to the upper right side, that was stopped by the warrior, then another one to the lower left, and so on. Then Sirius surprised his opponent with a turn and cut off its head. Apparently these creatures can still move a bit after they are decapitated. When the warrior's body fell, he grabbed Sirius down with him.
Sirius was able to take on more warriors on the ground, but they all knew he wouldn't last much longer.
"Remus!" Dumbledore cried out.
Remus understood the call, and started moving towards Sirius, and seconds later they fought side-by-side, knocking down creatures, decapitating or maiming them.
******
Dumbledore, Hermione and Snape were the only ones left to stop Harry, but as they landed, Harry used a binding charm, binding Hermione to him. He used her powers to get stronger.
"Keep on fighting!" she shouted at Dumbledore and Snape, throwing a sword, like the one Sirius fought with, to Snape.
"When you'll enter the orb, you'll feel as there's no ground, no weight. You must find a way to use it at your advantage." She was barely able to speak, trying to fight Harry mentally, hoping this would weaken him.
They came seven to the mountain, but now only two got into the orb, trying to stop Harry.
