Okay people! Before we get started with this story, here's some stuff that I wanna say. This story first started off as the experimental try-out you know as 'Archangels.' It was some pretty tight stuff that I came up with for that story, and boy did it give me some wild ideas. 'The Fallen' is a more serious and detailed story, with more mature content, and hopefully, a better storyline. This is also my latest attempt at a Harry Potter/Unreal Tournament crossover yet, and by far (hopefully), the most successful.
There is some stuff that I want to cover before we begin. First off, there are some original characters in this fic, and it's also sort of a self-insert as well. This page will be detailed with descriptions of all original characters and Unreal team members will be updated as new characters are added. Here's what we've got so far:
Name: Harry 'The Enforcer' Potter
Age: 22

Decent: English
Hair: Black, reaching just beyond his shoulders. Keeps it tied in a loose ponytail.

Team: The Fallen
Rank: Fallen Leader
Specialty: Stealth, specialist in all Unreal weapons.
Weapon of Choice: Enforcer/Double Enforcers/Minigun.
Status: Incarcerated, Unreal Tournament participant, 100% health.
Description: The standard Fallen uniform for the Unreal Tournament, with the teams symbol, an upside down pentagram (a pentagram is a star in the middle of a circle). Outside of Tournament, he wears black leather pant, black muscle shirt, boots, and a black leather trench coat.
Background: Explained in HP books and in later chapters…
A/N: -none-

Status: Incarcerated, Unreal Tournament participant, 100% health
Description: Same as Harry, except the clothes out of the tournament are all crimson red.
Background: Abandoned by his wizard parents at a young age of 12, Reiki has pretty much had to raise himself in the streets of Washington D.C., pick pocketing, stealing, etc. Home schooled until his abandonment, he has had no choice but to learn from old books. Caught at the age of 16 in the middle of a major wizards bank robbery, he's being held at the Rockmoore Wizarding Prison in the Rocky Mountains, forced to participate in the Tournament or receive a life sentence in the Artisans Wizarding Prison, the equivalent to the English Azkaban.
A/N: This is my self-insert character. He'll play a big role in the story, but not the main role. That's for my main man Harry.

Now that we've got the characters taken care of, lets take a look at the Unreal weapons and see what they do:
The Impact Hammer was a basic standard in the set of weapons and was used for close combat. When the trigger was pulled, it would 'punch' what it came in contact with. If the trigger was held down, the impact would become stronger and stronger until it would reach a point where contact would cause the target to be ripped apart. No ammo is needed.
The Enforcer was a standard pistol, yet the force used when firing a bullet was much greater and faster, making it more lethal than the common pistol. The standard package comes with one, however, when used in pairs, the results can be disastrous. Uses Bullets as ammo.
The Ripper is a very deadly gun. It shoots out small disks with sharp saw blades that would rip through an opponent and bounce of walls for a certain amount of time before finally loosing momentum. Using the alternate firing option allows the disk to explode on impact when fired. Although considered a light weapon, use of this gun should be handled with extreme caution. Takes Ripper Blades ammo.
The GES Bio Riffle was a small package with a deadly blow. It fired a green acid which ate at the target for a few seconds before the goop exploded. Very dangerous if misused. Missing the target is not recommended. Fuelled by GES Bio Sludge ammo.
The Shock Riffle is one of the preferred weapons of rookie officers who use these toys. This sucker shoots out beams of electricity, shocking the target for several seconds. Repeated shots from this gun would literally fry a mans insides. The alternate fire shot allows you to shoot out balls of electricity in spurts, and although these are weaker than the beams, they are fired at a much faster speed. Fuelled by Shock Cores.
The Plasma Gun is similar to the Shock Riffles in several ways. Although studies claim it to be weaker, it is preferred over the Shock Riffles by many veterans. It shoots out spurts of plasma at a astounding rate, making it a very lethal weapon when used in close combat. The alternate fire option allows you to fire an ongoing stream of plasma that can literally dig a hole through a mans chest. Fuelled by Plasma Cells.
The Minigun isn't new, originally invented by muggles, but this version is considered to be even deadlier. Charmed to hold more ammo than a normal minigun and feeds it directly into the weapon, unlike the bullet belts that the muggles use, this Minigun also fires in faster spurts, making it almost impossible to beat. Uses Bullets ammo.
The Sniper Riffle is, again, a muggle invention improved by wizards. This one has enhanced Sniper Bullets, which are longer and sleeker, and fire with even more speed than the muggle versions. The scope has also been enhanced to zoom in up to 500 times view. The only draw back to this weapon is that it takes a few seconds to reload itself after a shot.
The Flak Cannon is one of the deadliest weapons ever created by the Russians. It sends off red hot shards of glass and metal that will rip a mans body apart. The alternate fire option will send off an entire red hot ball of the stuff a certain distance and explode on impact. Use with extreme caution. Fuelled by Flak Shells.
The Rocket Launcher is a second to none weapon of destruction. Not recommended for use in close combat because of its firepower, this weapon, first invented by muggles, was modified to shoot a small rocket with enough firepower to level a small house. If the trigger was held down, it would stall fire and keep on accumulating rockets to fire until it reaches a number of ten rockets, then shoots them off all at once, causing even more mayhem and chaos. The alternate fire option allows you to shoot the rocket(s) as though they were grenades. Fuelled by Rocket Packs.
Probably the most experimental, unstable, powerful, and deadliest weapon up to date is the Redeemer. This hunk of beauty will set off a blast, incinerating anything within a mile radius, including the shooter if he/she is close enough to the blast. Handle with care: this weapon has only one shot and if not used with caution, it may be your last.
And finally, the pairings:
HP/SL -HP/HG
RB/GW
There may be more pairings, so this section will also be updated with the new pairings as well.
Well, that's about it. Also, please remember to review. The more you review, the happier I am, and the more I update. So now on with the story, and until next time, I'll be watching you…
Update – 06/30/03: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! Anyway, now that that's outta the way, I'd like to apologize for the delay of this chapter. The reasons were as follows: graduation of high school, drivers test, study for college entrance exams. Those are the excuses. Next chapter will be a serious one, as the main storyline will start to develop. Hopefully I'll also start to get more reviews. If I don't reach an minimum of 50 by the sixth of seventh chapter, I'll discontinue it or rewrite the whole thing as a different story. Hopefully that wont happen though. So keep the reviews coming, and until next time, I'll be watching you…
