Magic Among Cybertron
ESKK: Well, a new chapter please enjoy it.
(Start Cafe)
Several Days after the meeting Remus and Alan were speaking to each other as the two shared a drink with each other. "So, the old man took the bait?" Alan asked as they were meeting to discuss the magical side of this little enterprise. Harry and Hermione were at school today while the Grangers were at their dental practice.
"It would seem so, but I worry." Remus said as the book was held between them as Remus wasn't sure if it was a Portkey of some kind.
"I know this man was a beacon to your people, but I fear time and age as well as all the grandness of fame may have dulled his blade." Alan said as Remus understood the sentiment, but it didn't make it any better for him. "Anyway, the book does in fact have a charm on it to track you, so you made the right call jumping around with Red Alert." Alan said as nearby was Red Alert in vehicle mode. It was a coin toss between Ironhide, and Red Alert as Elita felt their human allies needed some form of protection beyond magic.
Red Alert was chosen for Remus because of his Lycanthropy. Ironhide would have done it, but the big guy was a bit clumsy at times. Red Alert was as his name implied, always alert so he can set up needed defenses for the full moon to keep Mooney contained without letting him harm himself. Preceptor had yet to see how Lycanthropy can affect a Cybertronian as his theory on the matter suggested it may corrupt them and give them a beast mode as opposed to a vehicular mode. With that theory in mind the Autobot scientist focused his attention on curing Remus first and foremost knowing full well the man had been through a great deal.
"I see but if I am to gain Dumbledore's trust, I would have to bring the book to my next meeting with Harry but if I do that, I risk putting him and the Autobots in possible danger." Remus said as this also had a bit to do with the fact Alan threatened him with federal prison.
"So, bring it in." Alan said calmly surprising Remus with this.
"Pardon?" Remus asked shocked to hear this.
"As long as it's not in the Autobots base we should be fine." Alans aid as he enjoyed his beverage. "But there is more, see I want to test something out, I hunch I have on the old man." Alan said as he crossed his arms a bit after putting his drink down.
"So, you want to intentionally put them in danger?" Remus asked shocked to hear this.
"They won't be in any danger my plan is to introduce Dumbledore with Elisa Pax and in doing so see if he is truly willing to try and convince her to let him take Harry." Alan said as Remus paid attention. "More so the fact most magics didn't work on Elita or the other Bots has me wanting to see how far it goes." Alan said before looking to Remus. "Trust me back up will be ready just in case and more then that I intent to inform Elita about it first before doing anything." Alan added and thus calmed Remus down a bit. "Anyway, any news from Preceptor on the Sirius Black case?" Alan asked changing the subject.
"That sound like the good news and bad news sort of situation. After I provided the information to Preceptor the bloke managed to reconstruct the crime scene and from his findings... it didn't add up." Remus said as he felt stupid for not seeing it sooner. "The explosion that had 'killed,' Peter would not have left his finger behind there should have been a body." Remus said and thus Alan knew what this meant.
"If there is no body then the target is still alive." Alan said and thus Remus got to the big guns.
"Yes, but more than that factoring in Peter being a rat in more ways than one Preceptor is now 100% certain Pettigrew escaped that night and is 95% certain he's still alive." Remus said and thus Alan knew a rat hunt was going on behind closed doors. "If he is still out there, we need to find him and bring him to justice." Remus said but Alan saw one flaw with that.
"Try finding a bloody needle in a haystack." Alan said knowing that Peter was a rat Animagus thus this meant he could be any rat they happened upon. All they knew was the rat was missing a finger but those are a dime a dozen. "I would suggest waiting for Harry's first year it will give us time to gather more information and evidence as well as get my own guys to sweet talk that idiot Minister to push for a trial." Alan said making it clear that giving Sirius Black a proper trial would have many benefits. First of all, if by some miracle he was in fact innocent then Sirius would no doubt be in Fudge's debt, second if he, was guilty then it would make Fudge look good by ensuring every criminal is given a fair and just trial.
"In other word's making it seem to the Minister that win or lose he benefits off it." Remus added and thus Alan nodded with a smirk to this.
"Precisely." Alan said and thus Remus looked at the time as did Alan. "Well, a pleasure as it has been I must be off." Alan said and thus Remus nodded to this.
"Of course, thank you." Alan said and in turn the two shook hands and in turn Remus walked over to Red Alert. Once he got on the passenger side Red Alert spoke up to the Werewolf.
"So, you plan to use Harry as bait?" Red Alert said and thus Remus sighed.
"I don't like it but it's the only way I can think of to gain Dumbledore's trust." Remus said as Red Alert understood as much.
Red Alert then began driving and thus the pair were on the road. "Well just remember watch your six, keep your eyes on your foes, and always stay Alert." Red Alert said as Remus chuckled to this. "What?" Red Alert asked as he lost the humor.
"You remind me of Alastor Moody." Remus said and thus Red Alert grew curious. "And he's paranoid as all get out, always screaming, constant vigilance." Remus said as Red Alert scoffed to this.
"It's only paranoid if they're not out to get you." Red Alert said and thus Remus laughed even more now. "Let me guess something he says too?" Red Alert asked and thus Remus nodded to this.
"Down to a art." Remus said as the pair drove back to base for Harry and Hermione's next lesson in magic.
(Scene Break Decepticon Command Base)
"I understand that our resources took a major blow." Nightbird was heard from their bases command room formerly the Dark Sides main bridge. "But I expect a response when I summon you and if you are behind a call." Nightbird said as behind her a Decepticon was seen floating into the room due to an apparent lack of legs.
"My apologies commander Nightbird but your summons came at a time I was not prepared for." The Decepticon said as he performed a small bow to Nightbird.
"I see and what was that event that held you up, Obsidian?" Nightbird asked of the Decepticon now known as Obsidian.
"Lugnut and my consort Strike were in the trail of an Energon signal. I had opted to come answer your call while I left Strike and Lugnut to investigate the signal." Obsidian said as Nightbird raised a single optic before taking it as is for now.
"I have a mission for you." Nightbird said as she looked to Obsidian.
"Do tell." Obsidian said as he was interested to see what his new assignment was.
In turn both were met with images of human ruins depicting divine beings holding peculiar objects. "I have reason to believe that ancient humans may have discovered varying Cybertronian relics that I wish to have located." Nightbird said as he looked to Obsidian.
"How can you be so certain of this, Commander?" Obsidian said and thus Nightbird pulled up images of what looked to be a staff of Cybertronian Design followed by a shield of similar design. "I see you're point." Obsidian said and thus Nightbird nodded.
"Once Lugnut and Strike return I want you three to go and investigate a list of sights." Nightbird ordered and in turn Obsidian bowed to Nightbird.
"As you command Lady Nightbird." Obsidian said and thus took his leave to prepare for this undertaking leaving Nightbird by her lonesome.
(Meanwhile with Ironhide and Chromia)
The ground bridge opened up and from it Ironhide and Chromia drove out of it before transforming into robot mode. Once they were on their treads Chromia took out a scanner. "According to Preceptor there should be an Energon Pulse around somewhere." Chromia said while holding the scanner in her Servo.
The two Autobots walked about as bit trying to find the signal when Chromia held up her hand. "Ironhide the signal is strongest here." Chromia said as the scanner was beeping quiet loudly and audible to hear.
"Yeah, but where's the Energon?" Ironhide asked as they looked around only to find an excavation site for ruins. Of course, looking at one of the bits of it the Autobots took note to an image that did not belong. "Wait... isn't that... Fortress Maximus?!" Ironhide asked as he saw the Titan upon the wall.
"Why would ancient humans make an image of a Titan of all things?" Chromia asked as she looked to Ironhide in shock.
"A most excellent question." Came a new voice which caused the pair to look to the source. Coming behind them was a larger femme as she was accompanied by a single eyed brute of a Decepticon.
"Oh Scrap, Lugnut." Ironhide cursed as he knew Lugnut and his infamous P.O.K.E weapon.
"And Strika." Chromia added as they saw the Cons in question.
"It's been a vorn since I've had the opportunity to snuff out an Autobot and now I have two before me." Strika said as she had clearly been bored being unable to fight and snuff out an Autobot. Looking behind them the Cons saw the image and in turn put the pieces together. "Lugnut destroy the image!" Strika ordered and in turn Lugnut understood.
"As you wish!" Lugnut yelled and in turn transformed his right arm into his famous go to weapon.
"Scrap duck and cover!" Chroma yelled and in turn the two Autobots ran for cover.
"In the glorious Decepticon Race!" Lugnut began and thus jumped high into the air. "I claim this victory and the sparks of these Autobots in the name of Lord Megatron!" Lugnut roared and in turn his punch collided with the ground creating a large explosion that Strika thankfully avoided.
For a while smoke covered the area but when it began to settle Strika walked forth. "Come now Lugnut let us eliminate these Autobots." Strika said until a communication came in.
"Lugnut Strika return to base." Came the voice of Obsidian over the communication.
"What but we have these Autobots right where." Strika began but was cut off by Nightbird.
"That is an order Strika!" Nightbird snarled and in turn the Cons knew they had to leave.
"As you wish." Lugnut said before Strika transformed into a tank while Lugnut transformed into a bomber plane before they took their leave.
Once the Decepticons were gone a pile of rubble moved and from it Ironhide blasted out. Once he was out Chromia rose from another pile as she held her head in pain. "Well, that was rocky." Ironhide said and in turn Chromia moaned in frustration from the pun.
"Please tell me you got a picture of that thing?" Chromia asked and thus Ironhide pulled out his own scanner.
"Heh whose clumsy now?" Ironhide boasted and in turn Chromia rolled her eyes.
(Later Autobot Base Axelon)
"Yes, this is most certainly a Titan." Elita said as she was now looking at the image Chromia and Ironhide brought back with great concern.
"Scrap." Moonracer cursed when she heard what Elita just said.
"What's a Titan?" Hermione asked as she knew about the Greek Titans but clearly the ones that the Autobots were speaking of were completely different.
"If you think a Combiner is big a Titan makes them look like a bug." Jetfire said which got the humans attention on that one.
"A Titan was a game changer during the War for Cybertron that acquiring the aid of one became a top priority during the War for Cybertron." Elita said as she looked to the gathered group. "But for one to be here is a one in a million chances of happening." Elita said as she found this information disturbing very much.
"Yeah, why here on this back water world?" Chromia asked and then remembered the natives among them. "No offense." She added looking to the humans.
"None taken." Emma said as she would suspect that Earth and her people were considered very primitive in comparison to the rest of the universe.
"Chance are that it was sent here in order to prevent its acquisition by enemy hands like the others scattered across the stars." Elita theorized as she got everyone's attention with this latest information.
"Scattered?" Remus asked and thus Elita looked to the humans.
"During the war for Cybertron the Titans were sent off world though a great many were lost to the stars we can only confirm that six managed to survive but after Cybertron had gone dark those six dwindled down to three." Elita said as she had a list of these Titans. "Trypticon, Metroplex, Tidalwave, Omega Supreme, Scorponok, and finally Fortress Maximus." Elita listed off and thus they all began to wonder which three were offed during the war.
"When you said survived that means three of them died doesn't it?" Dan asked with concern for this.
"Yes, formidable they may be even they are not invincible." Elita confessed and thus they all knew that at least the Titans can be defeated.
"Anyway, of those six, three of them sided with the Autobots and three of them sided with the Decepticons. Alas two of the three on our side had been among the three to have perished." Preceptor added showing that even though there was one Titan who still sided with the Autobots they were still outgunned by the Decepticons affiliated Titans.
"So how do we find this Titan?" Dan asked and thus the Autobots were silent to this.
"I see…" Remus said as he saw that the Titan could be anywhere on Earth assuming that it was actually here of course.
"Maybe Earth's history and mythologies might show us the way." Hermione said as she looked to the group getting their attention. "I mean the image was found in Rome, right? Maybe there are clues hidden in Roman Mythology." Hermione suggested and in turn they saw it was as good a place to start their search.
"I'll search the web to see what I may find." Preceptor said as Remus nodded to this.
"I'll look in historical text maybe a clue exists there." Remus said and in turn nodded to Elita who understood it.
"Very well." Elita said and in turn it was time to depart. If memory serves Harry had a sleep over at the Grangers home coming up.
(Scene Break that evening)
Harry was asleep upstairs as Elita in her persona of Elisa had already tucked the boy in. The evening was calm, and all was peaceful as Elisa headed downstairs to head to the kitchen for a quick Energon Recharge. Sparkplug was in Harry's room sleeping at the foot of his bed while the other three Minicons were in their disguise forms elsewhere. But as Elisa walked, she soon sensed something amiss and carefully made her way to the alert charm she had set for Alan to be contacted should the need arise.
Just then from the living room Elisa heard the sound of an engine popping as she turned to the source and saw an old man had appeared in her living room. 'Autobots Security Breach Code M.' Elita called via a private channel making sure the old man did not hear her alert her team. Leaning back, she had her hands touch and activate the charm and in turn alerting Alan of what was going on.
"Who are you how did you get in here?" Elisa asked as she glared at the old man who just broken into her home uninvited.
"Apologies madam but I will only be here for a few moments." The man said as Elisa glared at the man. "I am I am Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore." Dumbledore introduced himself as Elisa knew the charm was active and thus her human back up was on the way. "And you see I am here for Harry." Dumbledore said as Elisa glared at the man in contempt for that.
"I think not!" She said ready to draw a weapon she kept hidden to stun the man.
"I must insist Harry is not safe here and for the greater good he must be raised elsewhere." Dumbledore said as Elisa clenched her fists to this when she found exactly what she was looking for.
"Your insistence is noted but denied." Elisa said as she was reminded of the higher Caste from the War for Cybertron whom had tried to manipulate her and Optimus after they were reformatted. If not for Alpha Trion Elita feared she would have been a pawn of the Caste to hold power should the war end in victory for the Autobots. "Now get out of my house and off my property or so help me." Elisa said and in turn Dumbledore sighed.
"I hoped not to use this method." Dumbledore said and in turn began to draw his wand only for Elisa to suddenly pull out a firearm and shot it off near Gandalf's knockoff catching him off guard.
"I assume you were drawing a weapon on me, so I acted in self-defense." Elisa said glaring at Dumbledore. "Now on the ground hands where I can see them, good sir." Elisa said glaring at Dumbledore as her maternal instincts were roaring at her to tear this man apart.
"Please for the greater good Harry must." Dumbledore began only to feel a Wand held against him.
"Pardon me Albus Dumbledore." Came the voice of the one-man whom Dumbledore did not want to be here. "By order of her majesty Queen Elizabeth you are to cease and desist from this path less she goes about looking deeper into your actions as of late." Alan warned as he glared at Dumbledore promising him pain if he continued this. "Lady Elisa had been Knighted by Elizabeth and thus does not answer to you so leave the boy be and begone." Alan said making it clear that Dumbledore was not welcomed here after making his intentions for Harry known. "After all you do not wish to bring the ire of Queen Elizabeth down upon your beloved magical world, do you?" Alan added and thus Dumbledore knew he had to cut his losses for the time being.
"Very well." Dumbledore said and in turn began to stand back up with his hands raised showing he would not cause anymore problems this evening. "Apologies for disturbing your evening." Dumbledore said and thus with a pop the headmaster took his leave.
Just then the Minicons transformed and approached the scene with concern. "Highwire go check on Harry, Grindor and Sureshock scout the house for any more surprises." Elisa ordered and in turn the three Minicons got to work.
"Apologies Elita." Alan began as he approached Elisa. "I needed to draw him out and." Alan began but Elisa cut him off.
"A decern his capabilities against a Cybertronian in some way." Elisa said as she put the pieces together on Alan's plan.
"Yes." Alan confirmed as he looked to Elisa who understood.
"And?" She asked and thus Alan got to his conclusion.
"I tried to pull a mind whammy on you in the brief time between him pulling his wand and you pulling a gun on him." Alan confirmed which Elisa heard clearly. "It went off, but your proxy body didn't show any signs of being affected." Alan said and in turn Elisa understood what was proven.
"So, magic can't affect Cybertronians." Elia thought as this may require further study.
"Either it doesn't affect your kind, or it needs to be exceptionally potent to have any affect." Alan said and thus Elisa understood what Alan did here.
"More tests may be required but for such a test we would need to do it on machines not on Autobots." Elisa said making it clear where she stood on such experimental research topics. "One of the rules Optimus has enforced among the Autobot forces." Elisa added as she looked to the Wizard with her.
"Understood." Alan said and began to leave but had a few more things to add. "This might not be the last time we heard of Dumbledore. I'd suggest exercising caution from now on." Alan said and with a nod Elisa saw Alan out the door.
"I know and I have every intention of protecting my son." Elisa said making it clear Harry was not going anywhere where he might be placed in needless danger.
(Scene Break Dark Side Decepticon Base)
"Well have you located any leads on this Titan?" Nightbird asked glaring at Obsidian.
"None that I can pinpoint Commander." Obsidian said as he looked to the Decepticon leader. "The only leads we had found thus far had only pertained to that of lost civilizations considered to be myth and fairytale by the human populace." Obsidian said as Nightbird thought over what Obsidian told her.
"What are the chances that these lost civilizations may in fact be the Titan we're looking for?" Nightbird asked with a skeptical look to Obsidian.
"Not very high, discerning fact from fiction is difficult as is but the logic is sound that these old civilizations may have been built upon these Titans using them as a foundation for their empires." Obsidian said and in turn Nightbird had an idea now.
"I want our scout teams and seekers performing recon into these civilizations." Nightbird said as she glared at Obsidian with her order. "If they find anything of value, I want to be the first to know about it." She added and in turn Obsidian saluted to his Commanding Officer.
"As you wish Commander Nightbird." Obsidian responded and went off to relay the orders Nightbird gave.
(Scene Break Potter Pax Household)
A week had passed since Dumbledore's late-night visit to the home and Harry was blissfully unaware of it. In fact, just this past day he had spend all day and the evening with the Grangers which saw Harry watching a movie and enjoying Emma's biscuits. Elisa apparently had monitor duty that evening thus she needed a babysitter to watch over her son Harry with all the other Autobots out on missions.
So, imagine Harry's shock as well as the shock of the Grangers when they walked into Elisa and the Minicons cleaning up a mess. "What happened?" Dan asked as he looked to Elisa with shock.
"Another break in." Elisa said with a calm tone as she was sweeping up some broken glass while Highwire was wiping up what seemed to be human blood.
"My word." Emma gasped as she thought this neighborhood was safe.
"Yes, thankfully Sparkplug wasn't keen on letting and intruder roam." Elisa added with a smirk on her face.
"Good dog." Dan said as Sparkplug was sleeping on the sofa as part of his victory reward.
"Love why not take Hermione to your room and play with the Minicons." Elisa offered and thus Harry nodded and took Hermione's hand before running off.
Once they heard the door closing upstairs Dan went down to it. "Why is this bloke so obsessed with Harry?" Dan asked as he was concerned about this. After all, unless he was the doting grandfather which he clearly was not then this man had no business in Harry's upbringing and life in general.
"I don't know the human who came here was a swallow looking one and appeared to be in need of a lesson in one's personal hygiene." Elisa said as she found the man to be a very unwelcoming sort of person. "I do not believe he has any business being near children of any sort regardless of species." Elisa added as she remembered how the unruly man had referred to her son as the Potter Brat. The fact he came on behalf of Dumbledore made Elisa even more concerned for Harry's future schooling in magic.
"Well, if there is, such schools to teach the children perhaps we should consider foreign schools." Dan said as Elisa thought it over.
"I doubt foreign waters will make Dumbledore give up so easily." Elisa said as she thought it over. "I'll contact Optimus see if he can get in touch, with the local magical community in the United States. Perhaps the children will be safer there." Elisa said as she was thankful her Spark mate had a base in the United States just as she had one on British soil where the Axelon crashed.
"I suppose it's a good place to start at." Emma said agreeing that Elisa was right to be worried about the safety of the children.
(Meanwhile back at Hogwarts)
With a 'crack' of displaced air, a lone figure in dark robes apparated onto the edge of the grounds of the Hogwarts' School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Limping and leaving a bloody footprint behind with every other step, he tapped his wand on an innocent-looking outcropping of rock, a portion of which swung away to reveal a narrow stairway.
"Bloody! Fucking! Heavily! Armed! Sow!" The wizard swore under his breath as he staggered down the stairs and along a long, narrow tunnel. "Go to this address and retrieve the boy,' he says." The man groused making his displeasure known. "'It's our best chance to find Harry Potter, or at least his kidnapper' he says. Well, if that harpy and her metal mongrel has Potter's errant brat than she can bloody well keep him!" The wizard climbed a shorter set of stairs at the other end of the hall and emerged from behind a bookcase into an office in the dungeons of the school.
This man was the very same man whom Elisa had accosted in her home prior. He had every identifying mark that Elisa described him to have. He had dark, greasy black hair, and a pinched, angry face with a hawk-bill of a nose.
Severus Snape limped over to his locked potions cabinet. His deft fingers hastily retrieved a pair of potions before he collapsed into his chair. The first potion he uncorked was poured over a deep, bleeding leg wound curtesy of Elisa's guard dog Sparkplug. The second potion he consumed in one long draught and in response he sighed in relief as the pain faded and the injury rapidly sealed itself shut.
A snarl of rage crossing his face, Snape glared at the wound that mongrel had given him. This woman who had to be Dumbledore's mysterious Elisa Pax was well prepared for any possible incursion from what he saw. The way she moved almost like it was second nature to her perhaps she had a past as a soldier of a sort. What was more concerning was that she was gunning for a weapon to use against him. A weapon that Snape suspected was more than show and his instincts told him she knew exactly how to use it. As Snape contemplated the woman that had nearly ended his life there was a knock at the door. "Come in, Headmaster." He sighed knowing exactly who came in as he knew that no one else would be visiting at this hour.
Albus Dumbledore stepped into the room and studied the Potions Master and took note of Snape's bloody robes, the open potion cabinet, and the door to the secret passage hanging ajar. "I take it the evening's excursion didn't go well?" Dumbledore inquired mildly as he suspected it did not go well.
Snape snarled as he glared at the old Headmaster for such a stupid question. "No, the evening did not go well!" Snape snapped as he glared at the man before him.
Dumbledore nodded in understanding to the school's potion master. Once his outrage came to an end Snape took a deep breath and calmed himself. It wasn't that Dumbledore wasn't a compassionate man – sometimes he was far too much so – but he could get very focused on the big picture sometimes.
"We've made contact with the enemy." Dumbledore began as he contemplated what this meant. "An enemy who seems to possess powerful allies in the muggle world." Dumbledore added as he knew if Elisa went to Alan and the Queen with this Dumbledore would have to sacrifice his most valuable spy to the royal family. A regrettable loss but Dumbledore was no fool to think he can talk his way out with them a second time after the close call the first time had been.
"Thank you for your efforts tonight, Severus," Dumbledore said after making the vial disappear into his sleeve. "Will you be all right?"
"I'm fine now," Snape admitted as he looked to the headmaster. But before Dumbledore could leave Snape had one thing to add. "But perhaps it's time we consider more extreme methods." Snape said as Dumbledore raised a brow.
"Oh?" Dumbledore asked with concern over what Snape was thinking.
"You and I were unable to intimidate the woman into complying but perhaps we can use someone who can make her listen or end her if need be." Snape said as Dumbledore saw where this train of thought was going. "And as the boy his grieving you would swoop in right in the nick of time to save him earning his loyalty and devotion to you." Snape said and in turn Dumbledore knew how well this plan could go if it is handled in the correctly manner. After all it can easily go south if the boy suspected foul play.
"Hypothetically if we were to undergo such a path who would you suggest to, play this role?" Dumbledore asked and thus Snape saw Dumbledore was willing to hear him out.
"Well, I would suggest that we let two young women hash out their differences." Dumbledore said making it clear who he was suggesting they send in to forcibly remove the distraction of Elisa from Harry's life.
"I will… make arrangements." Dumbledore said as he regretted doing such a deed but for the greater good sacrifices must be made for victory. "Try to rest Severus we don't wish to arouse any suspicion." Dumbledore said and thus took his leave of Snape.
(Scene Break Halloween)
Halloween the day that James and Lily had died according to Remus. For many others it was a day for children to go out dressed as monsters and enjoy the evening of candy. Of course, Harry and Hermione had surprised everyone when they came out dressed as Optimus Prime and Elita 1 respectively using cardboard to build their costumes.
Everyone played along commenting that Optimus was in the base and even made jokes of which Elita was the real Elita. Of course, the children had enjoyed every second of it and thus soaked up the time. Preceptor always kept Elita free of monitor duty on important days for Harry such as this Holiday, Harry's emergence day or Birthday to the organics, and of course Christmas. So, Elisa was with the Grangers in town taking the children out Trick or Treating.
Elisa of course had dressed as the Goddess of War and Wisdom Athena for the evening as she held Harry's hand. She smiled with the Grangers when the children came from another house with more candy added on to their growing horde. Dan was of course against such a thing as a dentist, but Emma was all for it since this meant Hermione get to spend more time with her best friend.
"I do not fully understand the concept of Halloween." Elisa said as she knew what happened on this day many years ago that brought Harry into her life. "What I understand is, that human children dress as ghouls to frighten strangers and extort sugary nuggets from them." Elisa said as she looked to Dan and Emma.
"You don't get out much, do you?" Emma asked as Elisa looked to Emma.
"I'm a 20ft tall Autonomous Organism with a growing boy to look after makes it hard for me to, 'get out,' as you stated." Elisa quipped as Emma understood that much. "Furthermore, the point of getting out is to find a human mate you are compatible with is it not?" Elisa asked and thus Dan scoffed to that.
"No, it's also about meeting with your friends and having a night out together, girls' night some would call it." Emma said feeling like she was talking to a toddler when it came to Earth culture at times.
"Oh, why did you not say so?" Elita asked surprising Emma. "Chromia and I had something similar back on Cybertron. We and a few of the other Femme's take one night off to ourselves and splurge a bit at Maccadams." Elita regaled remembering those fun times with a chuckle. "Chromia still hasn't let me live down the time I was so overcharged that I ended up giving Optimus an exotic dance. Worse part was that she recorded the entire event." Elita said as she remembered the aftermath of that one with Optimus being a tad bit more passionate that evening.
"Wait what was Optimus doing there?" Emma asked as she found the image of the strong, calm, and assured Elita drunk out of her mind and doing a Cybertronian equivalent to a pole dance or lap dance oddly funny.
"He was with Ironhide and Ratchet picking us up when we were too inebriated to make the trip back to base." Elita responded and thus Emma could not help but laugh over Elita's embarrassing story. Elisa ended up joining Emma and in turn Dan rolled his eyes playfully to this.
"Well looks like I'll be spending a few weekends at the Golf Course." Dan joked as he saw the children return with their pillowcases overflowing with candy now. "And seems like we can't fit anymore candy this evening." Dan said as he saw the candy incident.
"It is getting quite late." Elisa said as she looked at the time.
"But mum the candy." Harry wined but Elisa sighed to her son.
"Even a Prime need's his rest Harry." Elisa said as she smiled to Harry. "And I fear Hermione might chew me out if you fall asleep when you got play with her." Elisa added and in turn they began to head back to the Granger household.
"She's right 'Optimus,' you need to rest." Hermione said with her best impression of Elita's voice she could muster.
"Ok." Harry sighed as he was once more defeated by Hermione only using words. In turn they headed back to the Granger House where Elita's vehicle mode was parked and once, they arrived Elisa/Elita drove off to return home.
(Scene Break the Potter/Autobot Homestead)
Elisa and Harry arrived back home as the events began to catch up to Harry making him sleepy. "Come now love go wash up and get ready for bed." Elita said using her proxy body for this.
"Ok." Harry said with a tired tone as nearby the Minicons came out. Highwire took Harry and began to guide him upstairs while Grindor put the pillowcase filled with candy away. Once that was done Sureshock went to carry out his own duties when Elisa paused for a moment. Something was not right as she looked outside with a cold look to something. With her car form Elita began to activate her communication directly to the Autobot base in case something happened here.
Elisa walked over to the patio to investigate a bit as she made sure to keep her guard up in case something happened. As she gave it a cold look Elisa's eyes zoomed in on the outer area of the property and in turn saw a familiar sight from years ago.
Just as Elisa was about to sound the alarm Harry was heard from the garage. "Mum." Harry called as he came looking for her.
"Harry, get inside now!" Elisa roared out and in turn Elisa was hit by several stunners to her body causing her to fall over from it and cry out as well.
Hearing this and seeing what happened Harry went wide eyed to this. "MUM!" Harry cried out in panic and in turn a man in a black cloak came out and grabbed Harry holding his wand to Harry's head.
"You're going nowhere, boy." His captor spat, which in turn caused Harry to turn a bit to see a robed man wearing a mask and pointing a drawn wand at his face.
"Hah this was almost too easy." Came the voice of a woman with frizzy black hair in a tight black dress who removed her own mask to speak.
"You." Elisa growled as she glared at the new arrival.
"Huh impressive you can still move." The woman said as Elisa growled at the woman. "Not for long." The woman said only for Elisa to surprise her and get back up before tackling the woman.
The woman dropped her wand as Elisa began to send powerful punches to the woman face. Thankfully, her fellows managed to blast Elisa off but was surprised with how easily she landed. "Bloody hell your firsts fell like metal." The woman growled as she grabbed her chin and felt one of her lips were split.
"Are you alright Bellatrix?" A masked man asked as he looked to the woman now known as Bellatrix.
"I'll live." Bellatrix said as she then glared at Elisa who was back on her feet. "Her on the other hand." Bellatrix said as she glared at the proxy body of Elita 1.
"I won't ask again, let my son go and leave this place, NOW!" Elisa roared as she glared at the mad woman with no fear whatsoever.
"You don't make the demands mudblood whore, Crucio!" The woman invoked causing the spell to hit Elisa, but no effect came from it. "W-what?" Bellatrix asked as she looked and was shocked by this.
"Surprised?" Elisa asked and in turn she charged into the fight once more and did a round house kick against Bellatrix before grabbing a pair of Death Eaters by their hands and forcing them to drop their wands.
"Go get'em mum!" Harry cheered like the child he was only for the man to point his wand deeper against Harry's head.
"BOMBARDA MAXIMA!" Came Bellatrix once more after she reclaimed her wand and hit Elisa dead in her chest.
"Mum!" Harry called out in fear as he saw this happen.
"Well, that handles that." Bellatrix said as she began to make her way over to Harry. "Now for you." Bellatrix said only for Harry to look bored.
"Mum's not going to be happy about you breaking that." Harry said which confused Bellatrix.
"W-what are you in denial I just killed her, her blood and guts are all over the…" Bellatrix said as she then heard a cackling sound of electricity. Dining a look with the other Death Eaters Bellatrix was wide eyed when she saw the corpse in question. The point where her spell had hit Elisa shown not blood or innards but wires and circuitry.
"What is she?" Came a Death Eater before a car engine was heard. From out of the Garage Elisa's car drove out only to transform before their eyes. Even the Death Eater who had Harry as a hostage was shocked as Elita 1 towered over them all.
"You're in trouble now." Harry said with a smirk on his face. "Meet my mum Elita 1." Harry introduced as the Death Eaters were in shock over what they saw.
Elita glared down on the Death Eaters promising them all pain for their transgression against her this night. "Try to take my child like this… was a big mistake." Elita began and in turn more car engines were heard while a jet engine followed suit. From out in the night the Autobots all showed up as from the house Highwire, Sureshock, Grindor, and Sparkplug came out and went after the Death Eaters. "Autobots relieve them of their weapons." Elita ordered and in turn the Death Eaters were easily disarmed of their wands before they could react. The one who had Harry at wand point had his wand arm bit into by Sparkplug who began to maul it forcing him to let go of Harry and drop his wand.
Once the Minicons had gathered the Wands Jetfire blasted the pile destroying them all in one fell swoop. Now even if the Death Eaters could escape, they had no way to use their magic without their focus to do so.
"Cowards!" Bellatrix yelled and thus glared at Elita 1. "Avada Kedavra!" Bellatrix invoked and int urn the killing curse graced off Elita's cheek causing her to once more glare at the user of that spell.
"Nice weapon but one problem Bella, mine weapons are bigger." Elita said and in turn she transformed her hands into her guns causing Bellatrix to go wide eyed to this while Harry hid behind Elita's treads. Following it up the Minicons got to Bellatrix and before she could fire a spell off was disarmed of her weapon and in turn forced her with cohorts. Once this was done Grindor snapped the wand and added it to the tinder that was the pile of burning wands. "Hands where I can see them." Elita ordered and in turn the Death Eaters began to raise their hands in surrender when Bellatrix was the first to do so.
"On the ground now!" Ironhide ordered as he glared down at the Death Eaters his canons armed and ready to make them into red paste on the ground should these Death Eaters provoke the Weapons specialist.
"If you, meat bags know what's good for you do as mama boss says." Moonracer cut in as the Death Eaters were forced to the ground.
Once Elita was sure the Death Eaters would not be making an escape here, she had her next order to give. "Minicons secure them." Elita ordered and in turn one by one the Minicons were tying up the Death Eaters while they were held at blaster point from all angles.
"Commander I've contacted the proper authorities to deal with these." Preceptor began and gave the Death Eaters a sickened look. "Terrorist." Preceptor said as he reported to his Commanding Officer.
"Good work did you inform Alan to bring those aware of magic?" Elita asked and thus Preceptor nodded to this.
"That I did, Commander." Preceptor responded and then saw the proxy body he made for the Autobot Femme Commander and knew he would have to repair the proxy body.
"How long before they arrive?" Elita asked and in turn a set of pops were heard, and Alan appeared leading several Muggleborn or Squib soldiers on the Death Eaters.
"Right now." Preceptor said as the Autobots saw they had help from the humans in dealing with these pieces of trash.
Thus, as the Death Eaters were being cuffed and arrested Bellatrix fearful look of Elita began to turn into one of pure rage. She knew not what this creature was but one day soon she will have her revenge against this muggle abomination.
"Elita 1, was it?" Bellatrix snarled as she glared at the Femme Leader. "I'll have my revenge I'll tell everyone what I saw this night! I swear I will expose you!" Bellatrix yelled as Elita then laughed at Bellatrix.
"Have fun finding someone to believe the words of a mentally unstable witch." Elita 1 taunted as she smirked at Bellatrix knowing full well no one would believe the words of a raving madwoman. "And a word of warning if you or your ilk attempt to attack me or humans in general well let me just say that your Eons too inexperienced with war to pose any form of threat to me or my Autobots." Elita said making it clear that not only was she older but smarter and stronger than Bellatrix could EVER hope to be. The Witch snarled to this as she promised the Autobot leader countless pain to her and her fellow 'Autobots,' once her Dark Lord returned to free her.
(Meanwhile nearby)
Dumbledore stood there in shock as he kept himself hidden away from sight as he saw Elisa 'die,' only to reveal her true form as some sort of machine. He didn't know where it came from or what it was, but it had put everything he thought he knew into question. Not only had his plan failed but he was now met with something that should not be possible on this world.
But just then he saw Elita glare over in his direction and in turn Dumbledore could not have apparated out of there any faster. He almost didn't care if he got splinch because he knew that whatever was protecting Harry now was a danger to them all. He knew that whatever form of creature Elita 1 and her Autobots where the old headmaster knew that the Wizarding world would stand no chance if they makes themselves an enemy of Elita 1. Dumbledore had to rework years of planning in fear of what was upon them. Unaware to the old headmaster Lord Voldemort would soon become the least of his worries.
(Scene Break Dark Side Base)
Nightbird was on the command bridge of her base as she was given regular updates from each of the Energon Mines her forces had set up. All was well and calm until suddenly something appeared on their scanners.
"Commander." A Vehicon trooper called out getting Nightbirds attention. "Something has appeared on our scanners it's a Decepticon signal." The Trooper said as Nightbird heard this.
"How large a signal?" Nightbird asked as she hoped it was large.
"Small possibly only one flier." The Vehicon trooper said as he had more. "It's coming straight for us." He added and thus Nightbird looked to it.
"Troops to the landing pads now!" Nightbird ordered and thus she and several of her forces went to investigate the possible new arrival.
(Later at the landing pad)
All Decepticons were all ready as they prepared for the new unscheduled arrival to their base. Nightbird lead the charge but as she zoomed in on the arrival her optics widened in shock. "Is that who I think it is?" Dropkick asked as he saw the familiar form approaching their base.
"It can't be there's no way it him." Slipstream said as she was in a state of disbelief. Once the silver colored Cybertronian jet arrived fully it flew upward and transformed. Once the figure landed, he stood up towering over the many Decepticons that had gathered to greet him.
"DECEPTICONS!" The figure spoke and thus glaring at them with his crimson red optics and the Decepticon Insignia proudly displayed on his chest he made his announcement. "Megatron has arrived." The figure said revealing himself to be none other then the grand leader of the Decepticons, Megatron.
"All hail Lord Megatron." Nightbird announced and thus all Decepticons kneeled before their one true leader of the Decepticons and the true ruler of the known galaxy.
