Ok! I don't know if anyone has done this idea before, and if someone has I haven't read it.. ^_^ Uhh.. yeah. I just hope it isn't too horrible!
------------------------------------------------------
Qilo(1) waited nervously outside his master's chambers. What would happen if Lord Voldemort found him standing there? He'd rather not think about it. Things... had not been going so well, and his master was both very irritable and unpredictable. What Qilo WAS able to forsee, however, was that when his Lord was in a bad mood, someone was going to get hurt... namely, him. Hearing no screams nor crashes, and noticing the evident lack of shaking of the structure (which often happened when his lord was angry), Qilo entered the large room with a familiar feeling of dread in the pit of his stomach.
"Master?" He asked shakily, not sure what to make of the deafening silence in the darkness, while squinting to try to make out his master.
"Do you know how close I was? I was THIS close to achieving my goal... and whose fault is it that I -- it falied?" Qilo swallowed loudly, highly suspecting that whatever answer he gave would be the wrong one. He chose to believe that it was a rhetorical question, and continued.
"Master, the Death Eaters are awaiting your next command. They are growing restless, and are eager to set out to continue their mission." Qilo waited and visibly tensed when Voldemort didn't give any sign that he had heard. Growing uncomfortable, he began repeating, "Master--"
"QUIET!!" Voldemort's voice echoed commandingly throughout the chamber, Qilo visibly cowering. Silence reigned after the echo of the outburst disappated. However, after a few minutes of standing stock still, a rustling was heard and the silence was interrupted by a string of speech.
"My Lord, the problem is that we need a new approach. Those beings that are a shame to be called wizards are growing far too suspicious and immune to our current tactics." Qilo turned to the entrance, surprised, while Voldemort gazed seemingly uncaringly at the newcomer, though those who knew him well would see the hint of interest in the darkness of his eyes. The newcomer bowed, inconspiciously lifting the sleeve of his cloak to reveal the dark mark. Voldemort studied the mark. It was obvious that it was just imprinted, so this must be a new follower. What would he know about 'current tactics'? Eyes narrowed, Voldemort studied the subject before him. He was middle-aged, with sea green eyes that would've been thought to be artificial if they didn't hold such a firey intensity. His skin was pale yet rough, with short blue hair that contrasted brightly with the dark robes, and a scar running along his left cheek that stuck out on his features. Qilo nervously watched the newcomer. He didn't recognize the man, but then again there were countless followers of the Dark Lord, even though there had been deserters after the.. incident...
"What would you know of tactics and strategy? It is obvious to me that you are very new around here and perhaps you don't know that you should not enter here under any circumstances." Qilo quivered under the surprisingly calm voice that he never knew his master to hold long.
"My Lord, my name is Arkan. I have travelled from very far to find myself here, in basically a different world that I knew nothing of. I come from faraway lands, but as I joined from the outside and quickly became accustomed to strange happenings that are deemed normal here, I quickly realized what was wrong that it caused such devastating failure. Lord Voldemort, the wizards whom you seek to destroy and overcome are already aware of your presence, and putting up more and more defenses. As they will continue to do so, which is why you must act quickly and catch them by surprise."
"And.. Arkan.." Voldemort practically spat out his name, "how would you propose we catch them by surprise?" Arkan visibly grinned.
"You never asked where I was from. In my world, which I am certain is not this one, there is magic. But it is a different kind of magic." Arkan's grin spread as he noticed Voldemort growing more and more interested. "It is true, I have only been here for a few months, but I have studied long and hard the spells and magic that was before unknown to me. Our magic.. our magic is stronger." Voldmort snorted, and grew irritated at his comment that HIS magic was weak. Him - Lord Voldemort - where even the most powerful wizards of the world were fearful of speaking his name and cowered under him. Voldemort sent an energy wave, sending Arkan crashing into the nearest wall with a loud impact.
"Qilo, dispose of this before I do it myself." Quivering, Qilo nodded and shakily made his way toward the form on the other side of the room. Halfway there, however, he stopped and quickly glanced back at his master, alarmed. Voldemort had suddenly gasped, and was now grasping and his head and looking wildly around.
"M-m-master??" They were both startled out of their thoughts as Arkan started laughing, the noise gradually getting louder before he finally stopped when Voldemort held up his wand, ready to cast a spell which in all probability would not be very pleasant.
"That is the power." Arkan said, suddenly serious. "The power of Alchemy! Another lighthouse has been lit, and the ties between our worlds are breaking. Once broken, they will merge together and who knows what will happen." Voldemort stared at the man, wondering what nonsense he was talking. But the power he had felt.. the immense power.. if what Arkan said was true, then Dumbledore and the world would have no way of stopping him! Not even Harry Potter would stand in his way -- not another time.
Voldemort listened intently, as Arkan began his lengthy explanation about the elemental forces of his world, as well as the lighthouses.
-------------------
"Isaac! Garet!" Jenna cried out in surprise and anxiety, seeing that they were facing two mars adepts known to them as Karst and Agatio.
"Jenna?!" Garet called out, although he was preoccupied as a flaming phoenix made out of psyenergy that just about dived into him. Felix watched on in disbelief. Isaac?? What was HE doing here? No doubt trying to stop them from lighting the lighthouses. He would never understand...
"Felix.. don't you think we should help them?" Felix turned to look at Sheba, who had asked the question very quietly. Picard also gave him a look, as he half restrained Jenna from jumping to her childhood friends' aid. Sighing at the new implications, Felix quickly took charge.
"Sheba, Picard, you go further ahead into the lighthouse. We need to light it as soon as possible. Jenna and I will help Isaac and the others." Sheba nodded, smiling slightly while Picard cast him a look telling him not to get killed.
Agatio smirked to himself. They'd get rid of all these fools right now, while two of them went to light the lighthouse for them. Piece of cake.
Karst, on the other hand, was filled with a blinding rage. Upon finding out that blonde boy was Isaac, she had immediately dragged Agatio into a fierce battle with them. "YOU WILL PAY! For what you did to Menardi! And Saturos." She added as an afterthought. She hadn't really known her sister's partner, only that Agatio highly respected him and was fabled for both his strength and strategy. No matter, she'd get her revenge.
Ivan gasped and fell to the ground, after casting his Shine Plasma he felt flames not unlike Garet's (except stronger) engulf him. He registered seeing that girl that Isaac and Garet were intent on rescuing jump into battle, along with.. that guy.. feeling himself drifting, Ivan was relieved when he saw Mia scurrying over and urgently casting ply.
Felix watched the Jupiter adept fall, but as he was being helped, Felix quickly turned his attention towards his sister who was promptly attacking with her sword. Once out of the way, he concentrated on his psyenergy.
"RAGNAROK!" Felix started, surprised that his voice was not the only one who shouted the word out. Jerking his head towards Isaac, he noticed the other Venus adept staring back at him. Twin swords of fire -- yet fueled by the power of the earth -- instantaneously came crashing down on the two offending mars adepts. Karst and Agatio shuddered visibly, looking tired and beaten. Ivan stood up, thanking Mia for healing him, but his eyes were intent on the battle, not daring to hope for the best. Garet and Jenna visibly relaxed, obviously convinced that the worst was over; and so was the battle.
Thus, they were incredibly surprised when suddenly a huge beam of psyenergy was headed towards them, an impending doom and a streak that impacted them painfully. Finding himself on the ground, Felix tried to keep his head clear as he attempted to think of a solution. Everyone was very badly injured, and laying on the ground. No doubt Karst and Agatio were nearly done, and had used up all their psyenergy on that attack.. but they were still better off than their current party. Cursing himself, he tried desperately to find a way to protect Jenna. His attention, however, was diverted when there was a faint glow, and Agatio and Karst's insane laughter (which had been ringing in their ears for a while now) and slow progression towards the downed adepts was abruptly stopped.
"What are you doing here?!" Karst hissed. Felix listened for a reply, but there was none.
"Ply..." A voice whispered quietly, and Felix, feeling completely healed, stood up quickly and turned around.
"Alex!!" He shouted out, wondering in his mind why their mysterious companion had suddenly appeared to heal them all. The mercury adept didn't reply him, but smiled slightly at Felix, and said nothing as his eyes met Mia's astonished blue ones.
He lingered for a moment, before disappearing in another mist of blue light leaving the entire group in a shocked silence.
"I'LL KILL HIM!!" Karst raged, while Agatio looked like he was just about ready to tear up the whole lighthouse then and there.
"Karst.. we cannot finish them without being healed. The two who set up to light the lighthouse would have enough time to finish their task without interference. We must leave now." Agatio told his partner through clenched teeth. Karst, clearly enraged, stopped herself from retaliation against Agatio, who looked like he would explode at any moment. "Next time, you will all be taken care of. And don't expect your accomplist to be around to save you." And with that, the two mars adepts disappeared into a passage in the wall most likely leading out of the lighthouse cursing Alex all the way.
"We have to finish them now when they're weakened!" Garet suddenly exclaimed, ending the silence that had reigned after Agatio and Karst made their departure. The other adepts shook their heads, knowing better than to rush after them.
"We have to make sure the Jupiter lighthouse isn't lit." Isaac said icily, staring at Felix who stared back. The tension in the room was broken as a bright purple glow filled the room and the lighthouse started to shake.
"The lighthouse!" Ivan gasped.
"It's too late.. it's been lit." Jenna said, trying to keep her balance. Falling to the floor, they were surrounded in a green light and seem to sink through the floor before everything went black.
---------------------
Severus Snape and Professor McGonagall were sitting nervously in front of Headmaster Dumbledore's office. They had felt a huge power and disturbance, and by the look on Dumbledore's face it was obvious he had too.
"Would anyone care to explain what that was?" Snape snapped, mainly at McGonagall who shot him a disdainful look.
"I have as much an idea as you do." She replied somewhat sourly.
"Now now, it is not the time for bickering to occur between houses. We all felt that power surge, and I'm sure other members of the staff and some of the students did too since it was of such great magnitude. I thought that you might want to voice your concerns."
"well, it's not like we can do anything about it." Snape said calmly. "We don't know who it was, what it was, or where it came from."
"Well, we know that it was magic.. but it felt.. different. I would say it's He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, but the magic didn't feel like his. And the power..."
"The dark lord is more powerful than you think." Snape snapped.
"It did feel.. different. However, we would do well to assume it was Voldemort and take necessary precautions. Who knows what he's planning." Dumbledore said seriously. As Professors Snape and McGonagall left his office, his brow creased and a worried expression crossed his face. The power was immense, and he was sure that the source wasn't from Voldemort.. although it may have something to do with him. If that was the case, what was this new threat?
--------------------
Felix groaned as he got up. He awoke to find himself staring up at the blue sky. Immediately, his first concern was of Jenna. Scrambling up, he noticed Jenna, Isaac, Ivan and Mia sprawled across the green grass. Isaac groaned, and Felix hurried over to Jenna. Checking her pulse and seeing her eyes flutter, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to scan their surroundings. The grass was certainly very green, and the Jupiter Lighthouse was nowhere in sight. In fact, Felix was sure he had never seen this place before. They were facing a gigantic lake which seemed to stretch endlessly into the horizon before the shore was sighted. A forest also lay to the left. At least they'd have some source of food. If worst came to worst, they could always rummage through that forest for some source of nourishment. Lost in his thoughts, Felix didn't notice when Jenna fully came back to conciousness.
Finding her brother sitting protectively beside her and looking around at their location, Jenna was surprised when she couldn't catch even a glimpse of the Jupiter Lighthouse. She sat up quickly as she heard Isaac and Ivan groan, slowly getting up. Her brother noticed she was awake, and gave her one of his rare smiles before glancing at Isaac apprehensively, which Jenna frowned at.
"Is everyone alright?" Mia's groggy voice carried to their ears. The mercury adept looked tired, but was still willing to heal anyone who needed it.
"We're fine." Felix replied gruffly. Isaac's eyes flashed, but before anything could be said Ivan interrupted the impending fight.
"Hey.. look over there." His timid voice turned their gazes towards a huge structure that looked like a castle except none of them had ever seen anything that remotely resembled it. It was huge and towered over them in the near distance, and Felix mentally slapped himself for being so careless and caught up to not notice it. "I'd say our best bet is to go there and ask them where we are." They unanimously agreed (for once), and started making their way towards their destination, which they more than hoped was friendly.

1) Ok, Qilo is made up just like Arkan is. This whole story (even though it's one chapter so far) was inpsired by White Angel's "The New Students" which is a YGO/HP crossover which is really good and you should read.
If there's any typos or wrong names or anything plz let me know. Thx! ^_^ R+R!
