Ch.7
Last time
"We have you as a hostage." Megatron said
"Oh really." I Apparated close to the edge and whistled three high pitch sounds "do you really thing im that stupid." I ran the rest of the way to edge.
"What are you going to do jack?" Megatron "jump."
"Nope." I said " I'm going to hatch a ride." I jumped over but i didn't see him firing close to me it burnt my back as i was falling "come on where is he." A few minutes later a chinese fireball picked me "thanks bubby you can drop me off in Japan."
Now to the story
Three days later.
"We need to find him!" Arcee yelled "he could be hurt or captured maybe both, I knew he shouldn't have gone without me." She said walking back and forth in worry.
"If I know jack, he went with Megatron on purpose." Mom said "he's gotten out of worst places."
"But June, he could've gotten hurt." Acree replied "and I can't lose another partner."
"You and him have a lot in common." Mom said with a sad look in her eyes everyone looked at her confused.
I stepped right out of the wall shadows "who got hurt."
"Jack!" Everyone yelled
Mom wiped out her unicorn wand and started firing off sliver spells "Bowen Jackson Fenrir Willam Darby!"
"oh this is going to hurt." I said jumping out of the way
"you better have a good reason for taking ten years of my life that i can't get back thank you very much." the worst part wasn't the spells, it was her pinpoint accuracy so I had to keep jumping out of the way.
The bots were studded by mom throwing spells at me "mom I went to megatron on purpose." With that said her spells started flying faster the bots tried to stop her "oh he'll be fine Jack's skin is tougher than what you think it is."
I jumped out the way till one hit me, "ok, ok i get your point, the silver sting hexs got the point across."
she stopped when I let out a little dog whimper.
"You have five seconds before I continue." She mom
"I took a card out of Alex's hands and gave us a means to an end." I replied quietly
"Explain." Mom said
"Alex teamed up with Megatron but he backstabbed Megatron so took me so I could fix his ship but I said three spells I used four."
Mom started to understand my plan "You used a tracking spell."
"Whats a tracking spell?" Raf asked
"Let me show you." I picked up a little needle and I said something, it glowed blue and took off to the screen with the earth map on it and pointed at a spot and started slow moving.
"No way." miko said jumping up and down
"you gave us a way." Ratchet started "to track the nemesis." Arcee finished
"The last couple of times Alex fought me his spells felt weak, well weak...er." I said "oh by the way Emily says hi."
"How was she doing." Mom said "wait a minute you went to Japan again."
"Oh what was it like back home?" Miko asked "where did you go."
"It was nice." I replied "we landed north of Japan."
"How did you get there?" Ratchet asked "you can't shadow travel that high, can you?"
"A chinese fireball named Dìyù, I helped some years ago." I replied "he gave me a ride." I was going to say more but a paper appeared on the table.
"Jack what's this?" Miko asked
I took the paper and polled "I'm being summoned to New York and I'm being put on trial for biting someone, using an unforgivable spell and using magic in front of no-maj."
"Is that bad?" Raf ask
"If the charges stick I'm on a one way trip to fort dawson the wizarding prison for life." I replied mom has some fear in her eyes.
"Does it say when you're supposed to show?" Mom asked
"Today." I replied "I smell a rat."
"Ratchet prepare to open the groundbridge." Optimus said
"I'm coming with you this time." Arcee said transforming
"We all are." Optimus said leaving no room for augment "where to."
"Be my guess." I replied "open a bridge to New York." The bots transformed and we went through.
New York
We came out of the groundbridge close to the woolworth building.
"Follow me." I said we walked up said building when we all saw someone very familiar "agent Fowler."
"Jack." He said, surprised "what are you doing here."
"C. 5" I simply replied "what your favorite animal, mine's a wolf."
"A squid." He replied
"What are you all talking about?" Arcee asked
"Let's go inside." Fowler said "where we talk more openly." We all walked inside and it was beautiful inside, it was several hundred feet tall, filled with light and featuring black and gold accents, first thing you see is a weird clock (the magical exposure threat level measurer) it was on the last green spot above the front staircase behind that was a magical portrait of the president of the Magical Congress of the United States of America Samuel G.Quahog.
"So what is the protector of the pack doing in New York?" Fowler ask
"How does a squib know about the wizarding world." I replied
"I got a call that a Darby was going to trial and wanted to see what was going on." Fowler said
"How did you know he's the protector of the pack?" Miko asked
"News travels fast when it comes to a Darby." Fowler said "my brother was your dad's panter jack." I didn't say anything and just kept waking.
the centre of the main room was a monument with four columns featuring Phoenix statues. In the middle was a group of statues holding hands commemorating those who died in the Salem Witch Trials. Under the monument were four Latin words "Integritas, Unitas, Virtus, Magia" ("Integrity, Unity, Valour, and Magic") I put my hands on one of the columns then continued walking.
"What that for jack." arcee asked
"There's a reason we want into hiding." I whispered around the exterior of the hall was desks and columns topped with statues of the original twelve aurors.
We continued walking till we got to the courtroom "jack." I heard Fowler call out "your father would have been so proud of you, now put some of that Darby wit to good use." We walked in and the courtroom was like a no-maj.
"All raise." The bailiff said "the honorable Judge judith sheindlin presiding." We all stood up "class filed 104 Darby vs. Longheart."
"Morning." The judge said "now this case is pretty open and close but in my experience things are rarely ever open and closed, now as i understand Mr. Darby is a werewolf, this will be a fair trial, Mr.Darby will be treated equally, i won't the facts for this case i also understand Mr.Dardy wish to represent himself is that correct."
"Yes your honor." I replied "I didn't trust someone to represent me but me your honor."
"You do understand " the judge said "that if you lose you want be able to have a mistrial."
"Yes your honor." I replied
The prosecuting attorney for luke longheart went first "good morning your honor, we will prove that Mr.Dardy is dangerous and has a complete disregard for our laws and he should be hailed to fort dawson, thank you your honor." He sat down in his seat.
I stood up "Morning your honor, if facts you want, fact you will get, the prosecutor is right ma'am I am a dangerous person but so is every proud wand waving witch or wizard and I will not only prove that I'm innocent but I was justified in my actions."
Prosecuting attorney opened first "on the day in question Mr. Darby pulled a no-maj into an alleyway and was attacking him, my client's son and friends stepped in to save I would call in our first witness Vincent Raider."
Vince stood up and took the witness stand and swore the oath to tell the truth. "Will you recount for us the events of December 3rd." Vince told everyone what happened "are you telling us that Mr. Darby wasn't attacking you but protecting you." vince agreed the prosecutor seat down knowing he would get anything good out of this witness.
"Mr.Darby would you like to cross examine?" the judge asked
"Yes your honor i just have a couple questions for the witness first how do you know me and the other is would you consider me dangerous."
"I was a bully to you in school, i would consider you dangerous but against anyone standing against you, your very protective of everyone" ge replied
"Thank you prosecutor, it's your witness." I just had to rub that in.
"When you said "protective of anyone" what do you mean by that?" prosecutor asked
"Before the fight started he bought out his wand and said notice- me not a spell me sounded like silence and another that started with a p and lastly a spell with two spells that started with a r and a m" vince said "during the fight the young Mr. Longheart started, jack stepped in front of two torture curse to protect me a school yard bully."
"Are you telling us that Mr. Darby used a Notice- me a Silencio, Protego and a The Muggle-Repelling charm "prosecutor said" the same person that bit a pure-blood."
"Objection." i call out "that's destination."
"Sustained." the judge said
"I'll answer the question, Yes he did it protect me and like i said mr.longheart stated to fight all mr.darby wanted was to be left alone, Mr. Darby only bit him after Mr. longheart told him and his exact words were "you want to know a little of my family history, we have a long history of werewolf hunters and we take pride in it, how was old was the last natural born my family killed, oh yeah thats right she was eight" and that's when Mr.darby bit him."
"I have no more questions for this witness." Prosecutor said Vince got off the witness stand ans took his seat.
I stood up and said, "I call mr. luke longheart to the stand."
Mr. Longheart stood and took the stand " as previously stated your family has a long history of werewolf hunters, so do you remember all your werewolf hunt's?"
"Yes I remember all our hunts." luke said
"Do you remember eleven years ago?" I asked specifically
"Objection, relevance." the Prosecutor said
"I'll show you, if mr.longheart tell us" I replied
"Overrule, I'm curious to see where this is going." the judge replied
"Yes." luke replied"i do."
"Tell us in your own words what happened" i said "remember mr. longheart my tongue is as sharp as my teeth."
"Let's see eleven years ago" Mr.longheart thought it over "oh yeah we got wind of a werewolf in the woods so I called some other hunters and went after it, we found it in the wood i fired a sliver spell it miss her, she ran into the woods and we gave chase we started firing off spells, i fired off Sectumsempra and hit it and i kill it." he told us
I growled and my eyes were mad "what was she doing in those woods that day."
"I don't know, playing in the woods with a wolf cub." He replied
"Do you remember anything else about that?" I asked
"Objection, relevance." the Prosecutor said
I walked over to my table "let me remind you, you fired off a cutting hax missing the girl and hitting the little cub."
"How do know that!" Luke yelled
I rolled up my sleeve showing a scar running up my arm "does this remind you of anything." Luke didn't say anything but the look in his eye told us everything "I was that little wolf cub that day, how old was she when you killed her."
"I don't know." He grounded out
I got ticked by his words "She was eight, she was my best friend the last words she said to me was "protect them" so I spent everyday protecting people, earning the title protector of the pack that means I protect everyone not just pack members." I turned to judge "so you see your honor, I was justified in my action by biting alex but don't worry Mr.longheart I was only in my half werewolf from when I bit young mr.longheart and to prove it." I took a piece of paper "Your honor please read this."
"Wizarding law 201 the law of retribution, if a member of a family or a close friend is witness the a murder that person has a right to punish said person expect killing." The judge read
"What do you mean by that half werewolf form?" The judge asked
"For the record your honor, in the werewolf culture there are three types of werewolves. cursed werewolf the normal werewolf kind, born werewolves their born from two cursed werewolves when they change on on the full moon they keep there human mind without that Poisson the wolfsbane poison i'm classed as a natural born werewolf which means i have four forms three of which i can change when i went to, with or without the full moon and my beat won't change someone unless I'm in my full werewolf that's like a cursed werewolf ."
"What proof do you have to back-up your statement." The judge said
"Yes." I picked a paper and walked up to her when I walked back and waved my hand.
Anyone that knew me picked on what I did and no I didn't do something illegal.
"How do we know that document isn't a fake?" the Prosecutor asked
The judge handed the document to Clark and she waved her wand and proved the document was real.
"That's not right, that a stupid pathetic beast can walk around with us" luke said
Everyone started speaking "Order" the judge said "another comment like that and i'll hold you in contempt of court."
I was ticked by that statement, I slowly walked up to him "not right!" It turned died silent" Let me tell you what's not right, every witch and wizards around the world has hide from the no-majs but everyone werewolf around the world has the hide from both no-majs and everyone stupid werewolf hunter thays after our hid that has no idea of the pain that we go through, imagine every bone in your body broking, your skin start to inching and streaking to make room for fur at the same time and the top it all, we have no idea if we killed our firends or family unitll morning, see thoughs humans over there" I pointed at team prime " there the only ones that dont treat me like i'm a beast and two of them are children and their smarter than everyone human on the planet, so dont tell me whats not right."
"Order." the judge said "Mr. Draby you have every right to be mad but you need to calm down."
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath "sorry, your honor, it just makes me mad when a murderer tells me what's not right."
the Prosecutor stood up "i'm curious what was the punishment you gave young Mr. Longheart" than he seat back down
"Now thats a good question." the judge said
"In werewolf culture you have to have a good reason the bite someone mine is killing, not hunting killing plain in simple, the punishment or should i say punishments i gave alex is simple, every full moon his bones will start to hurt, his skin will start to inch until he regrets What his family did, i gave him a taste of the pain we go through" i said
The judge thought it over "that doesn't sound too bad, what's the other one."
"He will never hurt another werewolf as long as he lives," I replied, "every werewolf around the world will know to stay away from him, his family are killers plain and simple so I made sure it will never happen again."
"Your honor, I believe it's time we got to the heart of the matter, the defendant using an unforgivable." the Prosecutor said
"There's a simple way to prove if I did or didn't do it " i said " have a medy- witch or wizard to see if one of us the Crucio and has the magical signature if i had the spell used on me it means alex used the spell on me or vice-versa."
The judge agreed with me and bought in a nurse "this is nurse mareth nobel head nurse of St.Drago will the defendant and young mr. longheart step forward."
We stepped and she tapped her wand on our head then pointed at some paper when she looked it over. "the defendant is telling the truth, he was in fact hit twice by one alex longheart."
The judge was getting tired of this "Ok let's get the last charge, using magic in front of no-majs, Mr.darby did you do that?"
"Now that one is true" i replied "but I made the no-majs promise not to tell anyone and I may have used a small compulsion charm. It wouldn't control them more like the information would simply slip their mind when talking to someone that didn't know about magic."
"Interesting." After a few minutes the judge thought it over before coming to a decision.
"All raise." the clark said
"I have come to a decision." the judge i find the defendant" the was going to continue when a golden spell shot towards the judge but instead of hitting redirected back to luke longheart clear as day.
His eyes had a golden look to them "I find the defendant guilty of all charges" then he acted like he hit the table with a hammer "what, what happened why didn't it work?"
The judge interrupted "I find the defendant not guilty of any charges, case dismissed."
I burst out laughing "do you really think i'm stupid a simple wandness and wordless redirect spell made sure the judge made her own decision, if alex is willing the the cruciatus spell on me what makes you think i wouldn't consider you would be any different."
I started to walk away when Luke jumped up "Tempest."and shot the lightning spell at me
I rolled forward and spun around and planted my hand on the ground "gaia vincula." the earth chain spell wrapped around luke and also five Stupefy stunning him Prosecutor even had his wand pointed at luke .
I pointed my wand at him "Rennervate." waking like up "I saw that coming from a mile away, boy you have to be special type of stupid to attack me in a courtroom with five trained Aurors and every wizard and witch in this room"
"Take him away and snap his wand." The judge order
I broke the earth chains and the aurora grabbed luke arms "but at least my son got away" luke replied
"Prefect." i replied "were coming to our last moves, check"
The Prosecutor walked up to me "i just want you to know i don't agree with anything mr.longheart said today if you ever want swap sides get me a call werewolf or not you did a great job today." he said handing me his card.
"I'll think about it, you know i never got you name." i replied
"my name is Hamilton Burger." he said walking away
