Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing even more changes to canon, along with Akane fulfilling another part of her revenge as well as taking the first steps to becoming the Shredder, along with showing why she isn't to be messed with. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
The moment Akane entered the Great Hall, having been summoned by Shendu, while interrupting both her training and trying to solve another trigram. The redhead wasn't even surprised to find the body of a House-elf lying on the floor, in front of his throne.
"I take it I'm here, because of the body." Akane stated, with Shendu nodding as the body floated into the air.
"Yes. My Shadowkhan had grabbed and killed this creature in the home of that Potter boy. It called itself Dobby and seemed to be trying to warn the boy of a danger at Hogwarts, a danger that isn't myself or my siblings." Said Shendu, knowing if the House-elf had been aware of him and his siblings, he would have had the Shadowkhan capture it, instead of killing it, to find out how it knew this information.
"Now tell me, what exactly is this creature and why would it be trying to contact Potter of danger at Hogwarts?" Shendu said.
"It's called a House-elf, they're a race of Magical Creatures that serve Pureblood Families. They're magically bound to obey every command, no matter what it is, along with being treated as basically slaves. While the only way for them to be freed, is by being presented with clothes by their masters. Though ironically, they actually seem to enjoy being enslaved, seeing things like actual payment or rewards as insults for their services." Explained Akane, while wondering who this elf belonged to, given she doubted Potter would even know what a House-elf was.
"And what purpose do you believe this elf had in approaching Potter?" Questioned Shendu, wanting to hear his Familiar's thoughts and theories, with Akane frowning thoughtfully.
"Given that House-elves are typically treated poorly by their masters, it wouldn't be unlikely that it'd result in them only working the bare minimum of their orders, since they still need to obey their commands, even if not fully completing them. It's also possible, they could find loopholes in orders, like say cleaning a room, they could take it as making the room completely empty and clean. There's also the fact that after Potter "defeated" Voldemort, House-elves began being treated better, at least for most of them, since some are still treated like less than dirt. It's likely that whatever danger is here, this elf wanted to keep Potter away, so he wouldn't get killed. Another idea, could be the elf's master had the elf warn Potter about the danger, given from everything I've heard and seen, Potter isn't exactly the brightest and tends to rush into things without thinking." Akane said, with Shendu humming in thought, pleased at her thinking and ideas.
Then to Akane's surprise Shendu blasted the body with his heat vision, reducing it to ash.
"Uh…why did you do that? You could have used it to find out who it belonged to, and what they're planning." Said Akane, confused by the sudden action.
"Yes, I could have. But I won't be dealing with it, you will." Shendu stated, surprising the redhead once again.
"Me?" Akane asked, now even more confused, with the Dragon nodding.
"Yes, you. Whatever the owner of that House-elf is planning, I expect you to find out and solve it on your own, without my help." Said Shendu, with Akane nodding slowly in understanding.
"Okay. But why? You could stop it by the time the next School Year starts, rather than having me figuring it out." Akane said.
"Correct again, I could, but I still won't. As for why, because as my Familiar, you are also entitled as my enforcer and a potential heir, should you prove yourself. Since both Drago and Pyra have, as humans say, burned that bridge themselves. With their refusal to free me, when I was trapped first trapped in the Demon Netherworld, and then as a statue after I escaped. So as such, I expect you to be able to stand on your own, rather than always depending on me to solve everything, should I be unavailable or when I send you out on missions." Shendu replied, shocking Akane that he's actually considering as a potential heir.
While she understood the enforcer part, especially now that she's fully on his side along with her new training. The whisker girl definitely didn't expect to be a potential heir as well.
"Besides, if you do intend to take up the mantle of the Shredder, then you'll be expected to know how to rule as well as how to fight. And given your own plans for several of the returning Purebloods, this year. It's likely you'll solve part of the problem at the start of the year, anyway." Added Shendu, smirking, while Akane's expression darkened and nodded.
While she may have gotten revenge on Jiraiya and Tsunade for betraying her parents, that had only been part one of her revenge. The second part will be coming soon, when she gets to take away something from the people that murdered them.
"Alright, I'll be sure to get started on my investigation and bring my findings to you, once I've learned what the plan is and stopped it." Akane said, with Shendu nodding in approval.
"Good. Now then onto other matters, how is your progress in locating another portal?" Questioned Shendu, knowing the only portals left were Hsi Wu's, Tso Lan's, and Tchang Zu's, and was eager to free them and get this curse removed, so he can summon his Dragon minions.
Only to see Akane frown and shake her head.
"I haven't made much progress in getting another portal's location. I thought I figured out how the Pan'ku Box worked before we freed Dai Gui. But since then, it seems like it's been changing the patterns of the trigrams. I don't know how it's changing, but I'm guessing when the box was first created, it was given another function. Making it so that if it was ever used to free you and your siblings, the more Demon Sorcerers that were freed, the harder it'd be to locate the remaining portals. So far, four Demon Sorcerers have been released, not counting you, since you didn't come through your original portal. So locating the other three portals might take longer than usual." Akane replied, making Shendu growl lowly in annoyance, as it meant it'll be that much longer until he can have the curse removed.
"While this is an unfortunate setback, there's nothing to be done about it." Said Shendu, accepting that it'll simply take longer than he originally expected to free his siblings and regain his former empire.
Besides, this'll also give Shendu a chance to also continue expanding his power, and even locate the remaining Oni Masks as well.
"You may return to your training, after all, it's almost time for school to be back in session." Shendu said, while smirking, with Akane nodding before exiting the Great Hall.
*Timeskip-September 1st*
Akane looked around at the Great Hall with a neutral expression on her face, seeing it now looked more similar to how it originally did. With the four House tables lined up, along with the staff table set up right below the dais, where Shendu's throne sat. But aside from that, it still looked the same after Shendu's remodeling of it.
The reason for this, was that Shendu had decided to keep certain traditions, like the Sorting Ceremony, with the new addition of burning the new First Years wands, to make sure they didn't get any ideas. Having had McGonagall already collect them from the new students, before burning them to ash.
The tables already filled up with students, with Akane noting that some of them didn't seem to have the same fear they did last year. Some even openly glaring up at her and Shendu. The redhead knowing the Demon Sorcerer wasn't doing anything about this, was because soon enough, they'll remember why they should fear him.
And soon, they'll also know why they should fear her as well.
It wasn't long until McGonagall came in with the new First Years, all of them looking at Shendu in shock and fear. The Dragon then flicked a claw, causing the doors to slam shut, ensuring none of them could try and run away. With that done, the Sorting began, with it taking longer than usual, given none of the First Years wanted to get any closer to Shendu.
While this was happening, Akane glanced up at Shendu, seeing him looking at the First Years.
'Probably seeing if any of them have potential or could prove useful as more than pawns.' Akane thought, giving the First Years a look herself, with only three really sticking out.
The first being Daphne's little sister, Astoria. Knowing she's under Bai Tza's protection, after Daphne offered herself as the Water Demon's own Familiar. With the young brunette being more nervous than fearful, likely from Daphne at least hinting of the danger at Hogwarts and that she needed to be careful.
The second was, surprisingly, the youngest Weasley child, Ginny, she believes her name is. Who, while terrified, like the rest of her classmates. Akane could sense her fellow redhead possessed a decent amount of power within her.
And the third one surprised Akane, it was a girl with long dirty blonde hair, wide pale silver eyes, and rather…unique accessories. What was surprising, was the fact that unlike the rest of the students, she wasn't terrified or nervous. In fact, she was actually smiling, as if she didn't have a care in the world or was in the presence of an actual demon.
'Luna Lovegood.' Thought Akane, when she heard the girls name be called, while seeing Luna actually skip up to the stool without hesitation before soon being sent to Ravenclaw, with Astoria in Slytherin and Ginny soon placed in Gryffindor.
Once the Sorting Ceremony was complete, Shendu stood up and walked forward, his crimson gaze sweeping across the hall, before he smirked.
"Greetings new and returning students. For those of you who don't know, I am Shendu. Your new Ruler and, by technicality, your Headmaster as well. I'm sure you're wondering what happened to the previous Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, that's rather simple, I killed him." Said Shendu, letting the shock and horror sink to the First Years for a moment, before he continued.
"I'm sure you are all also wondering where your wands are, they have been burned to ash, for your own safety. After all, it wouldn't do for any of you to try and pretend to be heroes, only to be met with a rather painful end by being burned alive. Of course, like any good Headmaster and Ruler, I will look after my subjects. But make no mistake, my word is law. If I tell any of you to do something, you'll do it. For those of you that serve me loyally, the rewards will be great. But for those that believe they can challenge my authority, merely ask your seniors what I did to the last group of fools that challenged me." Shendu said with his eyes glowing ominously, sending shivers up everyone's spines, while the Second Years and up paled or gulped at remembering what happened to the Aurors and Lucius Malfoy, with their fear starting to return.
Shendu then turned around and sat back on his throne, feeling eager at what will happen next.
"Now then, there are several more announcements to make. But first my Familiar, Akane Uzumaki, has her own announcement." Said Shendu, while moving the staff table off to the side to make room for what Akane was about to do, with the redhead walking up the edge of the dais.
"Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, Nott, Bulstrode. Step forward." Akane ordered, while looking over at the Slytherin table, seeing none of the ones she called moving to step forward, only to tense fearfully when several Shadowkhan appeared around them.
"Either step up on your feet or be forced onto your knees." said Akane, the five Slytherins now getting up and walking forward willingly, with the Shadowkhan standing behind them as guards.
Once they were in front of the dais, Akane looked down at them with an expression of pure disgust, hatred, and murderous intent, the very children of the Death Eaters who killed her parents. The girl wanting nothing more than to just kill them right now. But she restrained herself, wanting to let everyone know exactly what happens when she's crossed.
"Everyone here knows who I am, except for the First Years. I'm Akane Uzumaki, a Second Year Ravenclaw and the one responsible for your current predicament of being ruled over by Shendu. I'm also a Muggleborn, but I'm sure most of you prefer Mudblood." Akane said, while looking around the hall.
"But recently, I've learned that isn't the case myself, after a trip to Japan to free another Demon Sorcerer, I learned I'm not a Muggleborn. I am in fact a Pureblood and was originally known as Naruko Namikaze, Heiress of the Uzumaki Clan and Namikaze Clan. Two very ancient and powerful Wizarding Clans in Japan. But all that was taken from me, when my own godfather and a distant cousin betrayed my family, kidnapping me and erasing memories to give me a false identity in Britain. Along with hiring Death Eaters to kill my entire family, when both clans were still weak from an incident that left most of the members either dead or permanently crippled, so they could steal their wealth. The very Death Eaters, who's children I've just called up." Said Akane, while smiling coldly at the five, before looking back up at the hall.
"And for those that don't believe me, here's proof of my claim." Akane said as Satsuki, Mikoto, Izumi, Shizune, and Kurama all stepped out from the shadows, shocking everyone at their presence and sudden appearance.
"My godmother Mikoto Uchiha and the Former Matriarch of the Uchiha Clan; my best friend, Satsuki Uchiha, the Former Heiress of the Uchiha Clan; their cousin and the former student of my late mother, Izumi Uchiha; my personal doctor, Shizune Katō; and my mother's Familiar, Kurama." Said Akane, with Kurama growling at the Death Eaters children, before he began growing to twice the size of a horse.
"Be grateful you little shits, if I had my way, I'd be making your parents watch what I do to you." Kurama growled, terrifying the Slytherins and shocking everyone at hearing the kitsune speak.
"Normally, I'd be against harming children, but after what your parents did to my best friend, her husband, and their daughter…I'm making an exception." Said Mikoto as she smiled darkly, showing her darker side beneath her kind and motherly exterior.
Knowing she's provided sufficient proof, Akane motioned them to step back, before snapping her fingers. Causing some Shadowkhan to rise up beside her, along with a metal cart filled with tools. Akane walking up to it, while Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, Nott, and Bulstrode suddenly found themselves suspended in midair, shocking everyone even further. But also terrifying them at what's about to happen next.
"You know, if there's one downside to all this, it's that your father is already dead Malfoy. He's the one who lead the attack that killed my parents, so it's disappointing that he isn't here to see what I'm gonna do to you, nor will I get the chance to kill him. But…" Said Akane as she turned to face them, while she slipped brass knuckles with small spikes onto her hands.
"…I suppose I can take solace in ending the Malfoy Bloodline, just like he tried to do to mine." Akane said, before walking up to the Slytherins until she was standing in front of them.
"Now then…ladies first." Stated Akane, before swinging her fist at Bulstrode's face, getting a satisfying crack as she broke her jaw.
Given how the Slytherin girl had been one of her bullies back in her First Year, before becoming Shendu's Familiar, Akane wouldn't deny she's taking a special satisfaction in beating her. Slamming her fists repeatedly into her face, knocking out several of her teeth while the spikes cut into her face. Nothing deep enough to kill her accidently, but enough that it'd leave permanent scars, that is if any of them were going to live past tonight.
Akane soon moved onto Nott, doing the same to him as she did to Bulstrode, before moving onto Crabbe, Goyle, and finally Malfoy. Beating the blonde boy even longer than the other four, wanting to make sure he suffered the most. All the while the students and teachers could only look on in horror and sickness at what they were seeing, but none of them daring to make a move to stop, knowing it'd be their heads if they did anything.
Once she stopped, Akane looked at their beaten, bloody, and swollen faces before she moved back over to the cart, taking off the knuckles to pick a new tool.
"Strip them and hold them by their arms and legs." Ordered Akane to the Shadowkhan, the beings nodding before they cut off the Slytherins clothes until they were completely naked.
Before they grabbed them by their limbs and spread them out, with Akane returning with a sledgehammer, the redhead letting out a dark chuckle when she looked at them.
"So your egos are compensating for something. You sure all of you aren't girls?" Akane mocked, getting some laughter from her allies and even a few of the students snickered.
Only for their horror to immediately return, when Akane brought the hammer down on Malfoy's kneecap, snapping his leg clean in half, while the boy screamed in pure agony. His screams only increasing when Akane brought the hammer down on his other kneecap. Followed by his elbows as well, leaving all four of his limbs snapped in half. Though Akane didn't stop there as she had the Shadowkhan place his hands and feet on the ground, before the whiskered girl slammed the hammer down on each of them again and again, until Malfoy's hands and feet resembled pieces of ground beef with bits of bone mixed in.
With Akane then repeating the process with the other four, reveling in their screams of pain and cries of mercy. When all five were effectively crippled, Akane had the Shadowkhan drop them on the ground, while she returned to the cart.
"Now then, since none of you were really using them, how about removing all those unnecessary parts between your legs." Akane said wickedly as she pulled on a pair of gloves and grabbing a carving knife, while the four boys whimpered and attempted to crawl away, but couldn't, due to their shattered limbs.
With Akane creating a small flame she held the knife over until it was red hot, before going over to the boys. Starting with Nott, Akane swing her knife cutting off his dick and balls with the boy screaming himself hoarse at the castration, moving on to do the same to Crabbe and Goyle as well. Saving Malfoy for last, the redhead laughing when she saw he had actually pissed himself.
"Hope you enjoyed that Malfoy, because it's the last time you'll ever get to use it!" Said Akane, before slicing off Malfoy's genitals as well.
All the while, every male in the hall unconscious crossed their legs in horror at the scene, with even the Gryffindors feeling pity for the Slytherins. Though they were disgusted and sickened when Akane actually then shoved their severed genitals into their mouths, before magically sealing them shut so they couldn't spit them out..
"Since you didn't have anything to cut off, we'll start with you for the next part." Akane said to Bulstrode, before crouching down.
But to Akane's annoyance, the Slytherin actually spat in her face when she close enough.
"Go to hell Mudblo-" Bulstrode tried saying, before Akane shoved the heated blade into her mouth, being careful not to stab to deeply, before forcing her mouth shut
"Well…that was just rude." Stated Akane wiping the spit and blood off her face, while Bulstrode screamed silently as the blade burned her mouth.
Akane then ripped the knife out, along with part of Bulstrode's tongue and lips that stuck to the blade.
"If you're quite done, we can continue." Akane said, before pressing the knife into Bulstrode's chest and began carving into her.
It wasn't long until Akane had carved the spiral of the Uzumaki Clan, the one they used besides the Foot Clan symbol and Three-Toed Sign of the Dragon, into Bulstrode's chest. Before moving on to carving the symbol into Nott, Crabbe, Goyle, and Malfoy, ensuring that when they die, their parents will know just who killed them.
"Well, I don't know about you all, but I found that rather satisfying." Stated Akane, while pulling off her gloves and looking over her handywork, pleased at the state the five were in.
"And as much as I'd love to continue, there's still more business to discuss so…Sectumsempra." Akane said, swinging her wand at the five before their throats were slashed open, with Snape letting out a quiet gasp at seeing his own spell being used to kill five students.
Akane had learned the spell one day, after taking a Potions Lesson from Shizune and found an old Potions Book. Being curious as to why it was there, the redhead took it and found it was filled with improved ways to brew potions and even some original spells. Something she was pleased to have gained, especially Sectumsempra and what it does.
Seeing the five were dead, the redhead then looked out at the horrified and fearful faces in the Great Hall.
"For all of you, let this serve as a warning. If you take something from me, I will take everything from you." Said Akane darkly, making everyone shiver in fear at her words.
Akane then walked up besides Shendu, with the Dragon looking at his Familiar with a pleased smirked, before motioning the Shadowkhan to get rid of the bodies and clean up the mess. Along with cleaning up the puke from the students that had been unable to hold in their stomach's contents.
Once that was done, Shendu addressed the hall once more.
"Now then onto other matters. First, the Defense of the Dark Arts class will be replaced with a Dark Arts course, where you will learn to defend against and utilize such magic. With Mikoto Uchiha as your current professor." Said Shendu with Mikoto nodding to her future students.
"I hope you all are ready since my class will not be easy. Though I also plan to step down at the end of the year, after ensuring you all are sufficiently prepared." Mikoto said, all of them being aware of the curse on the DADA position and how any teachers don't last more than a year, which definitely raised a few alarm bells
While Shendu wasn't sure if changing the course to Dark Arts will lift the curse, he'll look into it to see if he'll be able to break it. Given his position as Ruler and Headmaster of Hogwarts. Along with having Bai Tza become the teacher for next year should the curse still be present. While the one after her hasn't been decided yet, as while they were sure Bai Tza could handle anything the curse threw at her, they'd prefer not taking any chances.
"In addition, the History of Magic class will now be taught by my niece, Liquidelle. Who I'm sure you'll find is a far better professor than a dead man." Shendu said, knowing this will likely be one change that the students won't mind.
Honestly, even while he was exorcising Binns, Shendu found it hard to stay awake while listening to him go on about Goblin Rebellions.
"That is all for now, you may all return to your dorms, where dinner will be delivered to you. Dismissed." Said Shendu, before the students and professors eagerly filing out of the Great Hall, not wanting to be around the Dragon any longer.
With the returning students fear once again returning, along with now knowing they didn't just have the demons to be afraid of.
They had to be afraid of Akane as well.
So, what did you think, good. Yep Dobby was captured and kill when he tried warning Harry about the Chamber of Secrets, with Shendu now having Akane figure out what's happening and solve the problem on her own, without his help. With it then going to the start of Second Year, with Akane seeing those that had potential, before we move onto Shendu informing the First Years of the new order, before letting Akane take over where she reveals her true origin before proceeding to torture and kill the children of the Death Eaters that killed her family. Finally we see Mikoto will be taking over as the Dark Arts Professor, with Bai Tza set to take over next year should the curse still be present, while Liquidelle will teach History of Magic. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
Storm out
