DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything, except for Dnomyar. I also own my own copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Don't worry, no spoilers, at all. Nor will there ever be. Seriously. Nah, I'm just joshing with you! The Half-Blood Prince is- Sorry! This is me, the real me, R.A.K., Dnomyar really wants to screw with people. There IS a spoiler, and it is important, but if you haven't read the new Harry Potter, you probably won't know what it is anyway, so it won't even matter.
MEXICO- Capsule Corporation, June 18th, 12:42 A.M.
"WHAT? Why won't the wish work?", cried Bulma. They, and by 'they', I mean Trunks and Bulma, had been trying for quite a while now. The sky was black, and lightning bolts were zapping through it.
A huge green dragon was floating, looking decidedly bored, decided Trunks. "I HAVE ALREADY TOLD YOU! GOSH, WHAT PART OF 'YOUR WISH CANNOT BE GRANTED' DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?", bellowed the dragon.
"The 'cannot'!", replied Bulma in frustration. "Please! Tell me why it won't work?"
"THE SUPREME KAI HAS TEMPORARILY CLOSED ALL CHANNELS OF FOREIGN MAGIC 'OFF', HE DOES NOT WISH TO ATTRACT DNOMYAR, LADY OF, ER, I MEAN LORD OF CHAOS, TO HIS CURRENT LOCATION.", snarled the dragon.
"Damnit! I wish that me, my friends, and my family, were back where we belong!", raved Bulma in frustration. "I wish that Vegeta wasn't dead! And I wish that the stupid wishes would be granted!"
"YOUR STUPID WISHES HAVE BEEN GRANTED!", bellowed the dragon, his eyes flashing with a deep red energy. Bulma looked up in surprise as the dragon began to change into light energy. The balls didn't scatter, instead they disappeared, just as she was!
"Oh!", she gasped. And suddenly… she was gone! Gone from the world she had hated for so long! And….
SORRY, DUE TO THE FACT THAT BULMA IS NO LONGER WITH THE MAIN STORY, AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT SHE DRAGGED HER FRIENDS WITH HER, SHE IS CUT FOR THE DURATION OF THIS STORY. AGAIN, I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED.
ENGLAND, London- Way outside of London, June 18th 1: 53 P.M.
It had been a while since we last saw the group of five, er… four.
Tonks' speed now knew no bounds, it seemed that her power was increasing. She was undoubtedly the fastest of the group. She also seemed to defy gravity, a fact which, McGonagall couldn't help but envy.
McGonagall's progression into a cat seemed to have stopped, but her powers were developing in other areas now, including her natural abilities. Her sense of smell had increased, along with her night vision. She was no longer in 'heat' as she had so aptly put it, but was now in a moody cat mode.
Speaking of Moody, his powers definitely gave him an edge in battle, unfortunately his powers made him much slower than he had been. He didn't mind too much though, he could now level a building just by touching it! With so much power he wondered why he, and other pure-blooded wizards didn't train their bodies more.
Pure-blooded wizard's like… Snape? Or is he? All angry feelings aside, on with the story! Anyhow, Snape's vampire-ness had increased to the point where he was so powerful that he had become a day-walker, one of the most powerful types vampires. His senses had increased, just a tad too much, for when a certain red-headed girl took a breath when they stopped, she had been spotted. And now, on to the plot!
"And jus' why were you following us?", growled Moody. He was actually excited though. This girl showed definite potential to being an auror. So, even though he was disciplining Ginevra Weasley, he couldn't help but feel that one day he'd be training her.
"I was looking for Ron and Hermione!", Ginny replied boldly. Now, remember, this is not the same Ginny as the Ginny that is with Harry. This Ginny is the one from the original Harry Potter. So even though there is two Ginny's, only one is the original Ginny, get it?
"Listen kid, its dangerous out here! Just look! Can you see the dead? And the blood? Oh… the blood!", Snape was talking here, of course. And his eyes were glowing bright red, due to the desire for blood. He began to ramble on and on about blood.
"Ginevra Weasley, you do realize that you will have to travel with us now, don't you?", muttered the creature formerly known as human.
"Your point? I want to find Harry. Oh, and Ron and Hermione too. And besides, you couldn't stop me if you wanted to! I have some cool new powers! And I'm invincible! Check it out!", suddenly Ginny transformed into a gigantic dragon. "I am a dragon!", she began to shrink now, and she became an owl. "And now I'm an owl!"
"And we can hear you. And see you. No need for the comments!", snapped the angry McGonagall.
"And I can catch you!", bellowed Tonks. She literally flew up in the air and caught the owl. The owl transformed into a cat and escaped Tonks grasp… for a second. Tonks had grabbed her straight away. This time when Ginny tried transforming, Tonks held tightly to the cat. Ginny began to screech out in pain.
"Let me go!", she screamed. It seemed that Tonks had stopped her from transforming. If Ginny tried transforming she would literally squish herself.
"No! If I let you go, you'll run off, and I will NOT have that!", Tonks bellowed. Everyone looked at her in shock. They all had never seen her so angry before. Even Ginny stopped squirming in shock.
"Fine! I-I promise I won't!", whimpered Ginny, feigning absolute fear.
"Good.", snapped Tonks. She grabbed Ginny by the scruff of her neck and dropped her to the asphalt. "Change back now."
Ginny changed back. She had been feigning fear, but she wasn't a total idiot. She'd escape at night. Like I said, not a total idiot.
Ginny was about to complain about her current situation, when a large pale figure came out from the sudden mist. I write 'sudden mist' because the mist hadn't been there before!
The strange being was very disturbing-looking. It had three blood-red eyes. It was a hulking beast with twelve arms. The arms were various lengths and with varied amounts of segments. The beast stood on seven thick legs. The strangest thing were the strange-looking runes on its pale body. The runes were colored red and green.
It stared at the group for only a moment, then it attacked. It struck Minerva McGonagall straight in the head. McGonagall flew back. Snape looked at her body in horror. Was she dead? Then Severus Snape lost control. He increased in body size and strength. His canines grew several times large and he bit into the Oni's arm. The Oni screamed and swatted Snape away.
Nymphadora Tonks was frantic. She had charged at the Oni right after Snape. Her increased speed allowed her to sever one of the beasts' arms. She severed three more arms in the time it took the Oni to swat Snape away.
Alastor Moody was not nearly as cautious the other two. He had charged at the Oni, he tore off three of the Oni's legs off, but the beast had obviously expected it. After Snape had been swatted away, it grasped Tonks and began to squeeze her. Moody could hear her bones snapping. Moody furiously attacked the Oni, but it was no use. The beast began to grow in size, rendering Moody's attacks nearly useless.
Tonks seemed to realize that she was about to die so she decided to try something. She began to vibrate the cells in her body. Suddenly she seemed to slip through the Oni's grasp. Her bones, were of course broken, but at least she was no longer being crushed by the Oni.
Ginny looked on, horrified about what was happening. She thought that McGonagall, Snape, and Tonks were dead. Suddenly she had an idea. She transformed into the Oni. She looked nearly identical. Her runes were different colors though. Her runes were red and white. The white runes were nearly invisible, but Ginny could feel the righteous rage of the white magic.
The original Oni turned towards Ginny in slight anticipation. Moody looked on in shock as the two titans faced off. Ginny, was of course, only a quarter of the Oni's height, but it was still quite an amazing sight. Ginny roared at the Oni, a large wall of flame following her outburst. The Oni's three eyes widened in shock as the flame reached him.
Ginny wasted no time. She leaped at the Oni, tearing into its flesh, ripping off several arms in the process. She burned him again, or tried to. This time the Oni had tensed and the beast absorbed the flame. Three of the Oni's arms grew back. Ginny's three red eyes widened in shock.
Then her rage grew. She grabbed the Oni and in a flash of bright white light, the Oni screamed in agony. His flesh was literally burned from his disintegrating bones. At the same time, the bright white light healed a dying Tonks and woke both Snape and McGonagall. Ginny had done it, she had defeated the Oni. Then she changed back into human form and blacked out.
INDIA, June 18th 2: 13 P.M.
Harry and his charges, Hermione, Ginevra, Luna, and the female Blaise Zabini had followed the Nerevar to India. It had been a rather short trip, but they were still exhausted. When they saw the Nerevar was descending, they too descended into the heavily jungled area of India.
"So… who are you?", Harry asked of the Nerevar.
The Nerevar chuckled, "I told you, I'm the Lord Nerevar. I guess you want a better answer? Well… I come from Vvardenfell, a province of Morrowind, land of the Dunmer. I was dragged here undoubtedly by this Portal Mage. Judging by his 'skill' I'd say he must be rather… stupid. I mean, why did he go through all of the trouble of dragging us here…? Enough of that though, you want to know about me. Let's see, after I was named in a prophecy, I defeated Dagoth Ur."
"A prophecy?", wondered Harry. He was interested in another good person having a prophecy ruling them. "So they're binding?"
"Well… no. I could've ignored old Caius, but I didn't. I was too much of a busy body!", the Nerevar chuckled. "I'm guessing you have a prophecy over you as well?", Harry looked shocked that the Nerevar had known. The girls were shocked at the prophecy information. "You looked shocked, but seriously, it was obvious with your fidgeting!"
"Oh. So… prophecies aren't binding?", asked Harry, making sure. The Nerevar shook his head. "That's… good to know.", Harry sighed though. "I'll probably have to deal with it anyway."
"On to more important things.", Hermione interrupted rudely. "Luna… what was that?"
"Oh… well… I'm a member of a currently disbanded group known as Earth's Special Forces, or E.S.F. you may have heard of it.", Luna stated. She wouldn't look at any of the group.
"E.S.F.? I'm in a similar group… Luna was it? Yes… I'm in a group of powerful figures that help out the world of Tamriel as best I can. T.S.F., I'll miss helping out.", stated the Nerevar.
"Wait a sec, E.S.F.? How come your 'group' never saved us from that… that place?", demanded Hermione angrily.
"It was disbanded.", replied Luna as that were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Luna… would… this world's Luna be what you are?", asked Harry curiously.
"Naturally. Although it isn't written in stone. She may not be.", replied Luna.
"Well… since I'm here, what do we do? I'm willing to help you people out.", the Nerevar said cheerfully.
"Well… we need to get to London. I'm not sure where it is, but its in England, which is about… north-west from here.", replied Hermione snootily.
"Right. Well, here, let's get flying.", replied the Nerevar. And so they did.
HYPERBOLIC TIME CHAMBER- Timeless
While the events of the outside world took its toll on everyone, only a few changes happened in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. The main one? Goku had disappeared while training Robin, Beast Boy, Starfire and Luna Lovegood. The four were concerned but quickly resumed training. They figured he had used 'Instant Transmission'. We all know of course, that he hadn't.
That wasn't all though. Soon afterwards, a strange man brought two people into their fold. The man's name had been the Ultimate Kai.
FLASBACK-
A bright flash of light interrupted the vicious battle between Robin and Luna. Luna had decided to begin training, though she stuck to her human form. The four turned and saw a short man in bright white robes. Robin had gone on defense straight away. "Who are you?"
The Supreme Kai did not answer at first. He merely looked at Robin in slight appraisal. " I am the Ultimate Kai. These two are Hermione Granger and the Dragon Lord. These two will be training with you. More will be coming later. For now though, train them. A time will come when all of your skills will be needed." A second later the Ultimate Kai had disappeared.
FLASHBACK END-
And since then the group of six had been training furiously. Eagerly awaiting the time when they would be able to put their new skills to use.
Finally though, they had to take a break. The new trainees did not have the stamina to go for too long. So instead they all sat and rested, while talking about the recent developments.
"So, what has been going on, Hermione?", Luna had asked immediately.
"Well… its been really difficult, what with the mutating creatures and all! I've mutated as well! My brain seems to be able to learn anything instantly! Not only that but my magic power has increased dramatically!", Hermione admitted. "It's been rough these past weeks."
"Weeks?", Luna asked in surprise.
"Oh yeah, Luna, Goku had told us that a year passes here for a day out there. That's why we've all aged… but….", Robin stopped. He had just realized something. Luna had been here for about fourteen years and yet… she still looked fifteen. "Luna you… haven't aged…."
Everyone directed their attention to Luna. Luna blinked and gave a wry grin. "It took you long enough. I'm not human. Excuse me, not fully human. I'm a changeling. And a proud member of Earth's Special Forces."
"Like our friend Goku! He too is a member of this Special Forces group you have named!", Starfire said excitedly, her green eyes boring into Luna's protuberant blue eyes. "Did you two know each other?"
"No. He is an Ancient Founding Member. He was the leader of the very first E.S.F. Albus Dumbledore is the leader of this time.", replied Luna. She watched Hermione and the Dragon Lord's shocked faces, she was loving their bewildered looks.
"But… what are the E. umm… S. whatever's?", asked the Dragon Lord, sounding more like a kid than the experienced lord Hermione had taken him for.
"The E.S.F. is a group dedicated to protecting the earth. Everyone here will be inducted into the E.S.F. soon. We will number past our usual numbers with a new leader.", replied Luna.
"Who's the new leader?", Beast Boy asked, his green face looking excited at the prospect of joining a secret organization.
"Good question. I don't know.", replied Luna frowning. She was a true Ravenclaw, and she didn't like being out of the loop, even if that was why she had been stationed here.
"When will we find out?", asked Robin.
"Within the next five years. When we reach our peak age, we will no longer age. Robin, Starfire, you notice that even though Beast Boy is an animal, he is still alive? He will never die, unless, unless he is killed.", replied Luna as she stared at her own hands. "I've been alive for well over a thousand years myself. Always protecting the world. Always.", her eyes teared, but none fell. She couldn't cry. Ever.
"Luna….", Hermione started, realizing Luna was sad. Hermione held out her hand as if to pat her, but then decided against it.
"I'll, I'll be fine. A new group is being forged, after all. We may outlive most of our contemporaries, but at least we'll be together. No more loneliness for me. Heh… I'm greedy, huh?", Luna looked up at the others, her eyes staring off past them. "More will be here soon.", she whispered.
Suddenly, a bright flash of light and six more people had appeared in the room.
"Wow Luna. That was soon!", muttered Beast Boy, as he looked on at the new arrivals. Suddenly he grinned.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: Been a while, eh? Finally here though, the next chapter will be up soon, seeing as how they are all out-of-date what with Half-Blood Prince being out. Ah well.
