J.K., This ride comes to a halt. I know Destiny is still out there, but to be honest, it is a drone ship that traveled for fifty million years, visited several galaxies, and seeded countless gates… Nope let the kids chase it. We saved your Harry's in over twenty universes, so I reckon my job is done here. Even without getting a knut out of it, I had a lot of fun though.
Previous:
Hermione: "Harry, you know with all this knowledge I feel like thirty years old, can we age ourselves to eighteen? I know Samantha, Tonksie, Hestia, Aliana, Peggy, and Melody are a bit frustrated, I also suspect they want babies. Can we talk about it this evening?"
"We will honey, it is a good idea though."
That evening in my mindscape did Hermione her proposal, everyone agreed to age to eighteen.
Luna: "We do the job of an adult already, we set more than twenty universes right, I think he has a few babies already, the Samantha's and Aliana's were enthusiastic."
Astoria: "I aged to fifteen, I don't mind everyone aging, but I am fine with my age now."
Ginny: "I don't mind aging naturally, but I understand the others and I am fine with it."
Hestia: "I want to go to eighteen, and to be honest a baby is something I begin to look forwards to."
Samantha: "I am starting to feel the need for a child, but I need a dad that is a bit older, so I feel a bit less guilty." We talked all night, the twins, Ginny, Astoria decided to stay fifteen, the others would age to eighteen except the ones that were already older. We settled our tasks and went for the med-beds.
Aliana gave us a kiss and put us asleep. Everything went dark.
18 Judge or Judged?
I opened my eyes and was greeted with glowy beings, I recognized Oma Desala and Atthar, several others were looking seriously at me, most were afraid of glowy me… Fuck did I ascend? Pulled up was more likely.
"You better have a good reason to get me upstairs, I was just getting ready to make some babies and my wives won't like what you have done."
Oma Desala: "Harry Potter, we brought you here to be judged. We are ordered to escort you to the elders."
"Oma Desala, I will make this very clear to you, if those old farts want to judge me, then I will judge them too. Go, and ask them if they want to risk my judgment, my patience is running low with this plane of existence."
Atthar: "In this, you do not have a say Harry Potter the trial will happen."
"Lead the way then, do not tell I did not warn you." Oma and Attar grabbed a hand and transported me to a more dense layer.
"The rif-raf have to stay below and the old farts get the goodies? You could stay below for the same treatment." They led me before a group of glowy people.
Glowy one: "Harry Potter, you disturbed the balance of twenty-seven universes, you are responsible for the destruction of three sentient races against their natural evolution, and setting the evolution of countless species on a different path. We brought you here to decide your fate."
"Then decide carefully, your fate is in the balance too. Tell me how am I responsible for their destruction? The species I destroyed is only the wrait, an insect race, people on earth are responsible for destroying thousands of insect races. The Wrait only got sentience when they merged with Lantean genes? Are you going to punish me for the removal of our own failed experiment? For all, I know the bastard that was playing god is on this plane after he let some of those bugs escape.
The goa'uld just got put back in their natural habitat. I removed the gates from those planets to let them evolve, maybe they grow some legs and move around on their own. The Ashen? I followed their philosophy and prepared their planet for colonization.
Now, you heard my defense, let me hear yours. You are responsible for causing the deaths of billions of billions of your own race, your offspring, children's children. By action and inaction, worst of all, it was for your entertainment. Explain that to me."
Glowy two: "We did not take action Harry Potter we let nature take his course."
"I am not nature? Swear on your existence you did not cause the plague to reduce the inflow of ascended here, I am starting to doubt the Ori was responsible for that. Swear on your existence you don't use us for your entertainment." The Glowy things apparently had a mental conversation.
"How many of you Glowy things decide what is and isn't allowed here? How many of you dictate the lives of the rest here? It seems to me some Ori slipped in here because you prevent your children to ascend."
Glowy three: "WE ARE NOT ORI!"
"YOU ACT LIKE ONES! Yes, I can scream too. Seven million years ago people started to ascend, and the plague happens, the Lanteans were ascending and suddenly the Wrait appears and starts killing them off. Now I let my people go back to a state from twenty million years ago, and you are getting afraid for extra inflow here. Tell me, do you deserve to live while you deny your offspring what you have?"
The trial was followed by most of the ascended, the mental discussions increased. Those idiots acted the same as the wizards, a corrupt government and the rest are glowy sheep.
Glowy one: "Nevertheless, we can not allow you to decent again, you are disturbing the balance."
"You mean I disturb your balance, of your playground where you can play god? You have no other choice than to let me decent back, by keeping me here you are disturbing the balance of twenty-seven universes."
Glowy two: "You have no say here Harry Potter. We do things our way for sixty million years, our way is best. Isn't that what you are telling your wizards?"
"Agreed, that is why I didn't want to evolve them to get them to Lantean standards. Helia and her two crews acknowledge the Lantean flaws and will let them find their own way back. You will find that you have no ruling over me, I did not naturally ascend, and I am not in the mood to bow for a corrupt group of beings that hold their own people in a death-grip.
You have a choice here kill me and die, or let me down and let my wives decide your fate, maybe you have a chance to survive."
Glowy one: "We decide your fate, Harry Potter, now that you are here, what can you do to us?"
"Grandma Ganos Lal, is this your opinion too? Oma Desala? Atthar?"
Oma Desala: "Ganos is on the lower plane, personally I do not agree, neither does Attar, we are a minority, and can not change the rules."
"My dear ascended beings, You failed badly. I am disappointed in your stupid god games. Let me introduce you to my dear friend Tink." Tink appeared next to me, so did the seventeen Bells.
Tink: "I followed your trial Harry, these idiots deserve the same fate as the Ori, they are not different from them. I went over the info in this plane, and there are thousand ascended that rule the million and a bit ascended here like tyrants. Harry, I amplified your mind voice over the whole plane. Give these people your judgment."
"Ancients, ancestors, ascended. You lost your ways and treated your children like puppets in a play.
The only way I let you live is that you swear an oath on your existence to never hinder the Alterans and the races that evolve from them, and to warn them of dangers that could destroy our civilizations. Refuse and you die right now."
Glowy three: "You can not do this to us, you have no right to."
"Like Tink once told me: Suck it up, dude. By pulling me up here you granted access to Tink and his Bells, from now on they will monitoring your actions and like me, they have no problem eliminating threats to our society. For all we care, once our ancestors ascend they stopped being one of us. You sure acted you were not concerned about our fate. We are treating you now like we do the Ashen, you can move around this plane, but your playtime is over. Tink kill those thousand rulers." A few beams and peace was restored.
"The same action is done in the twenty-seven other universes. Let this be a warning to the others tempted to play god, playing god does not mean you are one."
Oma Desala: "Harry Potter, aren't you playing god right now? Killing thousands of us like it is nothing?"
"Oma Desala, Did you not pay attention? The ascended attacked me and the universes I saved from the Wrait, Goa'uld, and other nasties. Do I not have the right to defend myself? Those thousand caused the deaths of millions, trillions, are they more important than those millions? Are you more important than me? Be glad I don't kill you all as you deserve, you are worse than abusive parents, when they die, they are gone, you keep abusing us for millions of years.
Oma, I am not a god or play one, I just wanted to make babies with my wives when you attacked me, so fuck of."
Well… It was a good rant, I fixed the bastards upstairs, Tink and his Bells will keep an eye on them.
I talked it over with Tink, the dude that put the mirrors was from a higher plane than the ascended plane. That was the only explanation that fitted. Was I playing god? Honestly, I don't know myself, it is like two tribes are at war using clubs if you are one of them you can fight along with or hide, but if someone gives you the knowledge and the weapons far more advanced than your tribes, are you going to hide? Ignore the two tribes?
Or are you going to end the fighting and try to make it better?
I never claim my solutions are the best, or that I possibly made it worse. I just stop the fighting and give a chance to start over.
Now buzz off, and let me make some babies before someone shocks me to another universe and let me start all over again.
