Last time, Harry learned that Rufus Scrimgeour, Minister of Magic, along with several Aurors, have been trapped at Stonehenge. The Death Eaters have amassed a huge army of Kandarian demons to force Scrimgeour to surrender. All of our heroes were then teleported to Salisbury Plain. There, Max and The Ramblers attacked the main force of the enemy, while Bloom, Will and the other Guardians covered them from the air. Harry is to lead the charge to help those at Stonehenge. On with the show!
Chapter 28: Clash at Stonehenge Part 2
"Okay," said Harry. He, Ron, Hermione, The D.A. and everyone else rose over the hill. "This is it! For Hogwarts!" exclaimed Harry as he and the others charged towards Stonehenge. It was a lot easier than he anticipated. What with The Ramblers, The Guardians and Bloom drawing away the main force of the enemy. With Caleb and Nigel slicing with their swords, Matt and Martin shooting with their Zatt Blasters, an occasional sonic scream from Matt, and eighteen members of the D.A. by his side, they made it to the standing stones rather quickly.
"Harry Potter!" exclaimed Rufus Scrimgeour, "I had almost lost hope that you'd help." "It would have been easy to say no," said Harry, "I'm just doing the right thing." "Still Dumbeldore's man are you?" asked Scrimgeour. "To the living end." Replied Harry. "Good gracious! Minister you must see this!" There was Tonks, who was watching the battle with a pair of binoculars. She handed them to Scrimgeour, and then noticed Harry. "Wotcher, Harry!" exclaimed Tonks. "They haven't attacked us since those muggles charged them." Said Kingsley Shacklebolt. "Probably waiting until our guard is down." Said Mad-Eye Moody. "I don't think so," said Harry, "Max and the others have the enemy's full attention."
"My god!" exclaimed Scrimgeour. He turned to Harry. "Who are those people?" "Mostly they're American muggles who are here to help." Said Hermione. "Muggles? But that's impossible. How can muggles do what they're doing?" asked Scrimgeour. "Ask Max Kildare," said Ron, "He'll tell you." Harry was then handed a pair of binoculars so he could watch the battle. In the air, Bloom, Will and the other Guardians were easily dispatching the flying demons. While on the ground, it was a total blood bath.
On one side of the enemy hoard, Jill was slashing away with her cutlass. D.P. was bashing with his nunchucks. Steve was alternating from bashing with his power-pole and vaporizing demons with his Zatt Blaster. "Let's see what these grenados can do," he said, pulling out one of the reusable grenades. He pressed the button, waited three seconds, and threw it. It landed about fifty yards away in a mass of the demons. Soon after, the mass of demons became a mass of blood and guts as the grenado exploded. "Sweet!" exclaimed Steve.
On the other side, Virgil was blasting with his eye-beams and Zatt Blaster. Skeater was bashing with his ton-fuus. Laura was strolling through the enemy masses, crushing demons with her mind.
In the center, Fay was hacking and slashing with her knives, a huge grin on her face. Max had shouldered his B.F.G. 6000; the enemy was too close to safely use it. He had already fired his revolvers empty. Not having the time to reload, he was punching, kicking and throwing every demon that got in his way.
All this time, Harry and co. were watching form Stonehenge. "Look at them go!" exclaimed Padma Patil. "Who knew that evolution can be so exciting." Said Dean Thomas. Colin Creevy was snapping away with his camera. Harry tried to listen to his com-link, but there was too much traffic. He did here one clear transmission: "We need to find the leader," reminded Laura over the com-link, "A horde this size won't fight without a leader." Back at the fighting, Fay saw one demon that was easily twice as big as the others. In its hand was a huge war-hammer. "My guess is that one is the leader." Said Steve. "I got this covered," said Fay.
Before Fay takes on the lead demon, let's pause to learn some information about her.

"Max! Hook me up with a 'fastball special!'" shouted Fay. "You got it. Just don't do anything stupid," said Max, "Like getting yourself killed." "You worry too much," said Fay. Max then picked her up and threw Fay like a baseball towards the lead demon. "HUMANS!" bellowed the leader as it saw Fay land, it's crab claw clicking eagerly, "I SHALL RIP YOU APPART AND DEVOUR YOUR SOULS!" "Come get some!" replied Fay.
The two circled each other, each waiting for the other to blink. Suddenly, the demon charged, it's hammer raised to strike. Fay easily dodged the blow, the hammer smashing into the ground. She then delivered a slash to its arm. The demon bellowed in rage as it readied another strike. It missed again and Fay slashed the creatures' other arm. This was repeated over and over again. It wasn't long before the lead demon was covered with deep cuts. "THIS CANNOT BE!" it bellowed, "I CANNOT BE KILLED BY ANY MEAR HUMAN!" "I don't believe it!" exclaimed the Death Eater who was supervising the enemy forces. "How can mere muggles defeat the creations of The Dark Lord?"
"Well get this," said Fay, drawing her longest knife, "Your masters' creations have been defeated by Meta-Humans." The Death Eater was stunned into silence. "Go back to your master and tell him that the next step in human evolution is here to take him down." She readied her blade for her final strike. "'Tis true! 'Tis true! Witness my knife's sharp point!"
She thrust her blade through the demon's neck, held it for a few seconds, and drew it out. The creature fell to the ground, stone dead. Almost immediately, the whole demon hoard was in chaos. Some were fighting each other in confusion. The majority, however were trying to run away.
"They're running! They're running!" shouted Hay Lin as she, the other Guardians and Bloom landed. Matt embraced Will, Nigel embraced Taranee and Caleb embraced Cornelia. Martin tried to embrace Irma, but had to settle for a handshake. As Harry scanned the retreating hoard, he noticed that the Death Eater who was standing on the platform had a silver right hand. "Max," said Harry over the com-link, "Max can you hear me?" "I can hear you," said Max, "What's the problem?" "That Death Eater who's trying to get away! It's Wormtail, Voldemort's right-hand man!"
"I'm on it!" said Laura determinedly, "I'm closest." She began to chase after the retreating Death Eater. "Who's Wormtail?" asked Cornelia. "He's the one who betrayed my parents to Voldemort." Replied Harry. "Leave it to me." Said Bloom as she prepared to take off. "You want him alive or dead?" she asked. "Definitely alive." Replied Harry. So Bloom began to chase after Wormtail.
Harry watched Bloom and Laura chase after Wormtail. Bloom, being able to fly, was soon caught up with Laura. Yet, the chase was in vain. The remaining demons and Wormtail suddenly disappeared. "Damn!" exclaimed Harry, his rage boiling up inside him. But then he remembered what Will told him: 'is revenge worth tearing yourself apart?' Harry took several deep breaths, and calmed down.
"I wonder how You Know Who is going to take this?" Asked Lavender Brown. "He'll probable blow his top." Replied Harry. Just then, he clutched his forehead as his scar erupted in agony. Even though Harry was expecting it, the pain was almost more than he could bare. "Yes," gasped Harry as the pain began to subside, "He knows, and is rather pissed."
A few moments later, Max Kildare was standing in front of Rufus Scrimgeour. "Minister Scrimgeour," said Max, "On behalf of The Bureau of Paranormal research and Defense, and The United States of America, I offer the services of myself and my team, with full cooperation on our part." The two then shook hands. "Your assistance is much appreciated." Said Scrimgeour. "It shall not go un-rewarded." "Damn" exclaimed Colin Creevy, "I ran out of film.
Suddenly the feeling that something bad was about to happen struck Harry. "Where's Bloom?" he asked franticly. "Last time I saw her," said Virgil, "She was with Laura, chasing after the enemy." Just then, there was a flash of purple lighting from there the enemy disappeared. A loud explosion followed it. "Bloody Hell!" exclaimed Ron. "Come on!" yelled Harry as he ran towards Bloom and Laura.
He found Laura, stunned by a Dark Lighting attack. Bloom was also on the ground, unable to move. Standing over her were Icy, Darcy and Stormy who were gloating. "This time Bloom," sneered Icy, "You're going to die."
To Be Continued. Next chapter, Harry confronts Icy to save Bloom, while Max confronts Darcy for her use of The Box. Please read and review. See you next time.
