Harry Potter and the God of Chaos
Chapter X: Devil Trigger
As the days got closer to Halloween, for some strange reason, Mithos kept getting weaker and weaker. His body would just suddenly collapse from underneath him and he'd find himself being accosted by sudden spells of dizziness randomly. Needless to say it was starting to piss him off. However, that didn't stop him from giving Harry an extremely early Christmas present…
"Oi, Potter!"
It was October 30th, and Mithos was feeling extremely tired but he still had his job to do. He had finally completed the project he had been working on. It was a book, one that contained something that Mithos had.
"What?"
"Here, take it. It'll help in your confrontation with Snake boy and his Kabuki clan."
Harry couldn't help but laugh at Mithos' inventive ways of insulting Voldemort and his Death Eaters.
"Hah, that was a good one. But…what am I supposed to do with a book?"
"You open it, duh."
He was about to.
"Not here you assgoblin. In the Room of Requirement…with your friends."
"Why?"
Mithos shrugged.
"Sounded like a good idea to me. Just don't do it in plain sight, and make sure your Mate's with you."
"Ron?"
"No cumfucker, Ginny."
"Ginny's not my-
"Oh face it kiddo we ALL know you two have a MAJOR thing for each oth-urk!"
At that very second, Mithos had another 'attack.' He collapsed to his hands and knees and began shivering. Harry, whom had never seen him in this state before, knelt down and put a hand to Mithos' back, only to be blown backwards by a strange aura that appeared around him. Using the training he got from both the summer and Quidditch he flipped in mid-air and landed on his feet crouching. Suddenly, as he was about to run for help, a typhoon of water appeared near Mithos and when it dissipated, Luna, Christina and the water beast known as Chaos were all standing near him. Luna had lost her dreamy look and crouched down next to Mithos, drawing her wand in the process. Christina just held out her hands and began glowing. Luna drew a few runes in the air, and then began glowing as well. Chaos just stood guard. Soon, Mithos had stopped shivering and was slowly getting up.
"Another one?"
"Yeah."
"Anyone see?"
"Only Harry."
They all turned to look at the boy. He walked forward, not exactly sure what happened, only that his cousin was involved. Surprising him, Luna had a fierce look on her face, one that promised a world of pain if he didn't listen.
"I trust you'll tell nobody about this?"
"Of course, but why not?"
"Even I don't know what's causing all this Harry. All I know is they keep getting worse, and I have the feeling it's all gonna be shown why tomorrow. Keep your guard up."
"Why can't we just have a normal Halloween for once?"
"Heh, every year something happens ne? Anyway, gather the people you trust, and open the book. You'll need to learn how to use that thing, and if my senses are right, after tomorrow I'll be out of it for a while."
"How do you know?"
"I don't, but I have a feeling, and my feelings have never lead me wrong so far. Luna and I'll be resting up in my quarters. I'll see you tomorrow Harry."
After that Chaos typhooned them all back to Mithos' rooms. Christina walked up to her cousin.
"Well, let's go open that book!"
Room of Requirement…
"So, why are we here Harry?"
"Mithos gave me this book. He told me to only open it when my friends were nearby. He said and I quote: 'It'll help you beat Snake boy and his Kabuki clan.'"
Here the gathered (Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Christina and Neville) laughed their asses off.
"I know, he's funny as hell. Anyway, I should open this thing…"
He placed the book with the weird runes on the table, and then opened it. As soon as he did the pages started turning on their own, seeming to have no end. Slowly, they started to glow, and everyone heard a voice…
Zu den, die in der Schwärzung getragen werden, ist der Dämmerungtraum Schlüssel. der Bracelet, der Schlüssel der Dämmerung, die Energie dieses Buches ist der der Rettung oder Zerstörung an der Laune des Benutzers. Der Bracelet der Dämmerung. Mai ist die Schwärzung, die sie holt, vor der Dämmerung eines neuen Tages.
Suddenly, the book shattered in a blaze of light.
"What the hell was that?"
"I think…it was German."
Everyone turned to Hermione.
"And you would know…how?"
"I went there…when I was a child. I don't remember much about it, I can barely remember the language, but it sounded German."
Christina piped up.
"It was."
Everyone turned to look at her.
"How do you know?"
"I was there when Mithos created the book. It said: 'To the ones born in darkness, the twilight dream is key. the Bracelet, the Key of the Twilight, the power of this book is that of Salvation, or Destruction at the whim of the user. The Bracelet of Twilight. May the darkness that it brings forth be the dawn of a new day.' Well, roughly that's what it said."
After she said that, the room was filled with a blazing light. A shadow of the book appeared over Harry's left arm, and suddenly a sphere of energy encompassed it.
"What the hell?"
Everyone watched as glass shards formed around his arm into what looked like a bracelet made out of stained glass. It seemed to glow for a bit, then faded from sight. Ron asked the question everyone wanted to know.
"What the bloody hell was that?"
"Wow…Mithos must really like you Harry. He's only THOUGHT of giving Luna one, and she's his girlfriend. He must think it'll help your fight."
"What is it?"
"He calls it the Bracelet. I don't know exactly what it does, cause he's never used it, but he says it's powerful."
"Well then, if it'll help me beat Voldie I'm glad to have it…"

Suddenly the bracelet began to glow again and Harry heard a voice in his mind.
Bout bloody time you opened the damn thing. Oh and don't speak out loud, you're the only one who can hear me. Mithos? What is this? Christy gave me a small explanation but it wasn't that much. What you have now is what I call the Twilight Bracelet. Normally it's only used in another dimension called the Cyber World, but I've managed to add some of my magic to it so it works here. Basically what it does is alters the molecular structure of an opponent. It's thought based so if you accidentally hit one of your friends you can turn its power WAY down. Yours is a slightly older model than mine, only because you'll only really need and use it against single enemies, there's a technique that allows you to Drain multiple targets at once, but it takes up a shitload of energy from you, and doesn't always hit everyone you need it to. Plus it takes a small amount of time to charge up, but if your opponent has never seen it before they'll be confused as to what it is. I doubt you'll be able to KILL Voldie with it, even mine wouldn't be able to do that, but I'm pretty sure you can at least cut his magical strength in half.
Seriously? Wicked that's awesome. Yeah I know. The Official name for the technique is Data Drain, but if you want you can change the name around a bit. I think I'll stick with Data Drain. Yeah same here. Anyway, test it out a bit. Like I said, you'll probably need it for tomorrow. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get some more rest or Luna'll have my head. Why are you awake anyway? Keyed the book so that way I'd know when you got the bracelet so I could at least tell you how to use it. Just focus your thoughts on the target, hold out whatever arm it bonded to, and will it to activate. For a while thinking the attack name will help focus things until it becomes second nature. It also acts as a weak shield so any spells or curses Mid-level or below wont affect you. There's also a way to use it to 'hack' through the universe and create portals with it, but I haven't figured out how to do that here yet.
Don't worry about it, this is more than enough. I'll test it out now. I gotta get going anyway, Lu just showed up. Tell me how she handles kiddo. Will do.
"HARRY!"
"Agh! What?"
"We've been trying to talk to you for the past five minutes!"
"Sorry, Mithos used his bracelet to contact me with instructions."
He closed his eyes and willed the room to create a practice dummy.
"Err…stand back; I don't know what this thing'll do."
They all stood at the far wall away from Harry.
"Here goes…"
He held out his left arm and focused. Suddenly, the greenish blue crystal looking thing appeared around his arm for all to see. The world around them seemed to flicker like a bad television reception. Five joint like objects appeared around the outside of the bracelet and curved forwards, almost like a claw. As they reached the apex of their arc they all simultaneously fired bands of what looked like raw energy at the practice dummy. The bands all converged and impaled it, causing the area to static up even more. Finally, the energy turned into a sphere which shattered, taking the dummy with it. Its job complete, the bracelet then proceeded to silently call back the arms and then vanish back to wherever it rests. Everyone was shocked into silence…which was broken by a classic saying.
"Bloody hell…"
October 31st The Halloween Ball…
Everyone was dancing in the Great Hall, having a good time. The students were smiling and laughing, talking to each other and simply being their teenage selves. Mithos had gathered enough strength to go along with Luna, and for once he hadn't had a weak spell all day, something which worried him. Amazingly, he too was having fun…at least until the entire Great Hall went black. Two minutes later, the lights all came back on, but there was a noticeable difference.
"IT'S THE DARK LORD!"
Everyone in the hall started scrambling…until Voldemort fired a killing curse into the air.
"How did you get in here Voldemort?"
"Ahh, Dumbledore, I'm glad you asked. It's simple. There were two possible ways I could enter. I could have simply walked through the front door, seeing as I AM the descendant of a founder. (Here the old man looked just a tad bit older.) Or I could have done what I did, which is use the powers of my new allies."
"New Allies?"
"Yes. These wonderful creatures called-
"Demons…"
Everyone turned to the source of the voice.
"You brought Demons to this world."
"Well, if it isn't that annoying little brat. Yes, I made a pact with these demons…what's wrong with you? Why are you shaking like that? You aren't the type to show fear."
"It's not…fear…you summoned…demons…to this world…"
Suddenly, the boy began to glow with a black aura.
"What's going on!"
"Now I'll show you this devil's true power…you are not worthy as my opponent…"

Everyone watched as a sphere of pure darkness erupted from around the young mage. Suddenly, four screens appeared around the orb, as if to show what was happening inside. The screens were black at first, but then green lettering appeared.
Evolution…
They all saw as an egg shape appeared in the center of the screen in a small device. Waves of energy flew out of the device and surrounded Mithos. Everyone saw as his very clothes and flesh were literally ripped off of him revealing what looked like a black wire frame. They watched as black material began replacing the skin and clothes. His hands turned into claws as his body was covered in what looked like black armor. His eyes narrowed like a cat's and turned a fierce blood red. Two long black arm-like appendages shot out of his back like bladed wings. The tiny scythe-like claws at the ends of them proved that they could be used as weapons too. The egg like shape burst open along with the sphere of darkness and he emerged. But just before the screens vanished they showed one last thing.

DT Mithos stood up slowly, as if relishing in his new power. Everyone that was surrounding him backed off to the sides of the great hall, giving him a clear path to Voldemort.
"Well, that was interesting. However I doubt a little show will change the prowess, Demons, attack!"
Three flaming hound looking demons appeared at Voldemort's side, then dashed towards Mithos. He stood there, his head lowered, looking at the ground, when suddenly he looked straight at the demons with a piercing glare. They froze in their tracks and began shivering as if scared. Mithos then vanished in what looked like a ripple of air, and then reappeared next to one of the hounds, back-flip kicking it into the air. He leapt into the air in pursuit as the other two hounds shook off the fear and leapt after him. In a swirl of dark claws and pained howling they all watched as DT Mithos tore through the demons with his claws and saw as they shattered into particles, only to be absorbed by him. He landed in the same spot he began, and lowered his head.
"Damn! Harken, show that stupid boy who's in power here!"

The darkness converged and dispersed revealing a woman with long flaming red hair and piercing green eyes in blood red armor. (A/N: Anyone who can figure out what I'm about to do gets one of my wife's cookies! And they kick ass!)
"Why does he look like a demon?"
"I don't know, but that doesn't matter, destroy him!"
"Yes…master. Azrael to me."
She held out her right arm and a long scythe materialized in her hand. She dashed towards DT Mithos and raised her blade, only to swing at air as he vanished in the ripple again.
"You are not worthy as my opponent…"
He appeared behind her and struck her in the back with a side kick, only to ripple again and then appear in front of her to strike her with a claw to the face and a double kick to the chest. She back-flipped in mid-air and landed on her feet, scythe raised to attack.
Harry….
"What? Mithos? Is that you?"
Charge the bracelet, aim it at Voldemort. He is distracted now. Are you sure about that? I have everyone's attention with my fight. Data Drain him now. He made a pact with the demons so I don't know how much of an effect it will have now, but at least it will be a blow against him. Alright.
Harry stepped forward slightly, a maneuver that didn't go unnoticed by a lot of the staff. He raised his arm and the bracelet activated again. Please work, we need at least a bit of time to prepare, especially now with his new abilities. I don't care what you do just please, slow him down!
Harken charged at Mithos again only to find herself blocked by a blade that materialized in his hands out of nowhere. Her eyes widened as she recognized it. The Shikon no Tsurugi… He tossed her away with his newly formed blade. His eyes looked to the side slightly and he saw Harry's bracelet about to fire.
"Now I'm Motivated!"
The greenish blue glow grew as the "arms" were about to reach their apex, and as they did, Harry shouted out.
"DATA DRAIN!"
The arms fired the bands at Voldemort, just as he turned to get hit by them.
"AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!"
The ten death eaters he brought with him all looked at their master in shock to see him floating with energy assaulting his body and flying out of him. The energy turned into a sphere then shattered, Voldemort falling to the ground unconscious.
"MASTER!"
Harken, hearing the frantic calls of her…comrades, turned to assist, only to have DT Mithos appear in front of her with that ripple technique he uses. He thrust out his hand and she was knocked back a few feet.
"Are you ready?"
Everyone, even the Death Eaters turned to see DT Mithos begin glowing with an unholy light.
"This…is where it ends. Now I'll show you this devil's true power…TEMPEST!"
DT Mithos suddenly dashed forward, and as Harken swung he seemed to flicker like a bad reception. What followed amazed everyone. He started off a combo chain with a straight punch to her face, followed by a front-flip kick to her head, a left jab to the face, a stab in her chest with his right claw, a back-flip kick, a knee to her chin, and finished with a roundhouse kick to her face that knocked her flying towards one of the great windows. He flared with dark energy again and returned his blade to his hand only to vanish in the ripple once more. The next thing anyone knew, Harken was being knocked around by a black blur that rocketed at her from all directions, until it rippled again behind her and charged the blade with dark energy, and sheathed it in a scabbard that appeared in his hands. He dashed by her one final time, unleashing the dark energy in his blade and sending out millions of crescent blades of energy.
"Scum."
She flew over to the death eaters and knocked about five of them over. The remaining ones grabbed their fallen master and cohort and portkeyed out of the Great Hall. Minutes after they left, Mithos flared with dark energy again, but this time it dispersed, and he fell to his knees, then his face, unconscious, and back to his normal self. But before anyone could do anything a black light flared around him, then gathered into a sphere like crystal that slowly sunk into his body. The last thing anyone saw before Luna levitated him out of the Great Hall…
Dream Energy: Darkness: Active…
Wow…long chapter. Oh by the way Shikon no Tsurugi, I'm assuming translates to Sword of Four Souls, seeing as Shikon no Tama from Inuyasha translates to JEWEL of Four Souls. Anyway, I know I put some Devil May Cry 3 references in here and a couple of .hack ones but who cares it adds to the character.
He who has no soul: I'm glad you like it. He does actually have his style changes back, he just hasn't used any of them yet. Whatever Dream Energies he got returned are connected to his elements and Style Changes, it's just he's had no need to activate them so I guess technically you'd be right in the sense that they're still dormant.
gaul1: Good to know this is liked.
Darklight: cant promise more chapters at this speed but since my life is finally getting on track I think I'll be cranking out more and more, 's long as I don't piss off the wife ne?
