Chapter 1
As the Terminus Mark II was nearing the moon of Craigspool, the main outpost of the Furlings in the Avalon Galaxy, everyone was stunned to see the impressive structures that were built into orbit around the moon. They were massive rings. Some would even call them ring worlds. Two to be exact. With a radius about two thirds and fourth fifths more than the radius of the moon they were orbiting around, respectively. The two rings were at a right angle to each other and were rotating at the same rate. Travel between rings were probably by the use of paired Ring Transports, Harry mused as he observed the massive floating structures.
An alert drew everyone's attention causing Ganos to activate the hologram pad. As soon as the communication channel was secured, a hologram of Stormaxe appeared. "I must insist that you dock the ship on the outer ring. It is standard protocol that all military vessels be docked to the outer ring and civilian vessels at the inner ring. No space faring vessel may enter the moon."
"As you wish Captain Stormaxe. I will have the ship dock with the outer ring. May we be transmitted the clearance codes to dock along with the dock number?"
"Already done. You should be receiving them momentarily."
"Ah… I got it. Thank you. We shall see you in a few minutes." Ganos said as she mentally commanded the ship to dock in the outer ring. After the docking procedures were finished, Ganos mentally sent out a request for permission to beam into one of the Ring Transport rooms and waited for confirmation along with the room coordinates.
When the Furlings sent the desired information and the permission, Ganos nodded to her group and teleported into the ring transport room aboard the inner ring. There, they were met with a Furling diplomatic delegation that contained the Furling King, himself.
"In the spirit of the four, I, King Goldklaw, of the Furlings greet our allies of old. It is a historic day that we meet after so long. Our people were fearful that we were the last of our once great alliance."
"In the spirit of the four, I, Supreme Commander Thor of the Asgard greet you as does my companions, Ganos Lal of the Ascended Alterans, Harry Potter, the future High Chancellor of the Nova Alterans and Lya and Nafrayu of the Nox. It is a pleasure to be able to meet up again."
King Goldklaw nodded with a smile before turning to Harry and saying, "You know, when I heard that it was two younglings from the Alterans and the Nox that found us, I believed that Stormaxe was joking. I see that what she said was true."
"Yes. Young Harry and Nafrayu can be quite a handful when they want to be. Both of them have an insatiable curiosity and Harry is a Genius, even by Ascended standards. Form what I have gathered from by brief control of the Terminus Mark II, Harry and Nafrayu were out testing out some unorthodox and unauthorized upgrades to the ships which he, himself has developed without the knowledge of any of his guardians, I included."
"Truly? How old are you Harry?"
"I am seven Terran Cycles old!" Harry said with a proud grin.
King Goldklaw raised an eyebrow before turning to Ganos and said, "I though you said he was a genius? I believe that he is far beyond what anything to be considered a genius. No normal seven-year-old can do such a thing. He is something special!"
"That he is. I myself have been teaching him logistics and military strategy. I can say that within the year, he will have finished everything I have to teach and surpass me. Not to seem arrogant, but I am the best strategist and fleet logistics specialist among my race!"
"Yes. Your prowess is well known even among our people Supreme Commander Thor. If you don't mind, will you be opposed to us teaching young Harry soldiering and physical combat? From what I can gather, if an Ascended is here, then young Harry is being raised by a cooperative of three of the four race."
"Not at all. None of us are against your people teaching young Harry. In fact, we lamented that the wisdom of your race was at the time lost to us."
"Thank you. We have been waiting for this event for some time now. One of our leading oracles had divined a prophecy that had pointed to this very event. The words of the prophecy aren't important, but young Harry has a great destiny ahead of him." King Goldklaw said with a pleased expression.
"You are the third person to say that. The Ascended High Chancellor and the Nox Elder had said something similar." Thor said with a hint of surprise in his tone.
"Now, I must insist. Please come to the castle and have lunch with me and my family. My daughter and wife would love to meet you all. That is unless you all have immediate prior engagements?"
"Ganos Lal, can you please have the Terminus send a message to Tartarus. It is best that Penegal be informed of the present developments."
"Anteaus and Ohper must be informed that Nafrayu and I will be late as well. Can you please send a missive to them as well?"
Ganos nodded and concentrated for a moment before turning to the two and nodded. "Done. I have contacted Janus. He said he will inform them. He was quite ecstatic at the news."
"Of course he is." Lya sighed causing Ganos to smile at her. "We are ready King Goldklaw. Please, lead the way."
King Goldklaw nodded and said, "Then follow me to the secured Ring Transporter."
"May I ask something King Goldklaw?" Harry asked as the group walked towards the secured transporter. King Goldklaw nodded prompting Harry to continue, "How can you be sure that the transport arrays are truly secure. If someone is able to hack into your systems, they can override all security. Besides, if a Goa'uld was able to compromise one of your soldiers. Then what?"
King Goldklaw looked surprised and Ganos and Lya chuckled. Leave it to Harry to easily deconstruct any and all flaws in a security system. The child tended to be a perfectionist, rooting out flaws in any and everything that catches his attention.
"What would you suggest?"
Harry smiled and said, "Matter Transportation blocking fields around the whole rings like you use in your battleships. Along with that you can use localized anti-gravity fields to suppress any unauthorized personnel. You can also add a genetic lock that will inform you of any non-Furling users."
"Genetic lock, like the locks you Alterans use in your technology?"
"Exactly!" Harry said causing King Goldklaw to hum in thought. After a few moments, Goldklaw said, "The Ring Transport arrays were gifts to the alliance by your people. We know the concept behind it, but not how to change the programming. It is in Alteran Machine Code. If your people will help us with the interface, I am sure that we can rig up a system like that, though I will be implementing the localized anti-gravity fields. I can't believe that none of our security specialists even dreamed about such breaches! I thank you Harry Potter, for bringing it to my notice."
"It's alright. I just hate inefficiency. If you want, I can send you a crystal that will contain the programming and with it, another crystal with the information that will allow you to modify the genetic lock database."
"We shall be in your debt Harry Potter!"
Harry nodded as Ganos asked, "Why didn't you add this feature to the Astria Porta on the Terminus?"
"Who said I didn't. You just have the required gene markers to pass without triggering an alert. All of you have it. If any of you are compromised by a Goa'uld, it will capture you as well. The anti-gravity fields are designed to extract any weapons and remove them out of the physical control of the unauthorized personnel."
Everyone, even Thor stared at Harry with a shocked expression. Here, they were all trying to find a way to prevent Goa'uld incursions among them without alerting the Gou'uld and it was a seven-year-old child that solved the problem.
"Your measures are quite interesting Harry. I will have the Asgard security research division develop the required technology. It is quite the good idea."
"Why do you need develop it. I will send you the programming crystal and the usage information crystal to you along with a new sensor package for your ships. I am sure that Hemidal will love them! I also saw the genetic degradation. If you can get me the full information you have about it. I think I can develop a long term genetic therapy that will have you back to normal within three more clones, though I may need some help from Hemidal." Everyone was shocked at what Harry said. This was not possible. Harry may be a genius, but even then he shouldn't have reached such levels of knowledge and expertise yet, not unless he had downloaded the whole Alteran Knowledge Repository into his mind. A preposterous notion. No one but the oldest Ascended will even survive downloading ninety percent of the knowledge.
Ganos narrowed her eyes before catching hold of Harry's ear and asked in an angry tone, "What did you do Harry? Did you create a specialized repository to help learn quicker? You know that it may damage your brain. You may have ninety-five percentage activity, but even then it is foolish to try and download the whole repository, let alone a massive part of it."
Harry smiled sheepishly and said, "Ah… I may have… accidentally downloaded the whole… uh, repository! Yeah, that's right. I accidentally downloaded the whole repository!"
Everyone looked shocked at the revelation before King Goldklaw took out a hand-held medical scanner and placed it above Harry's head. After a few moments, he moved it away and looked at the results. He gave a gasp causing Lya to ask, "What's wrong?"
The King looked up from the scanner and said, "I don't know how this is possible, but it seems that Harry here has a 99.67% brainwave activity. He should have ascended already, not to mention die if he doesn't!"
Ganos sighed before saying, "Let's just place it down to another Potter Anomaly. After all he somehow survived a Zero Point Field that was designed to dissipate the soul when he was only one. Many would say that he survived because his mother sacrificed herself for him and used her own soul to power the protections, but I say that it is a wrong conjecture."
"What do you mean Ganos Lal?" Thor asked with interest.
"The Alteran descendants on Terra have evolved to levels far beyond even us. They can freely manipulate ZPE to practically alter reality as they see fit. They call it magic and I have to agree. The name is appropriate. Even with our advanced technology, some of the things that can do is unbelievable. Controlled, temporary wormhole generation using two different manipulations called Apparition and Portkey. Using fires to travel, almost like a Astria Porta. Being able transform into animals. Using the innate ZPE properties of naturally occurring biomass to create complex elixirs that can do the most wondrous of things. Their healing skills far outstrip our innate healing abilities in some fields. To put it mildly, the Alteran descendants may have forgotten their heritage, and so can be considered an infantile race, but they are very advanced in ZPE manipulation."
"Can I show them?" Harry asked causing Ganos and Lya to look at Harry with funny expressions on their faces.
"But Harry," Lya began, "You haven't learned Terran ZPE manipulation yet."
Harry had a bashful look on his face as he said, "I sent an out-of-phase probe to gather information. It had also scanned multiple magical theory books and books on the various disciplines along with Terran politics, culture, history and languages of both the descendants Alteran, the various other ZPE manipulating races and the baseline humans. So can I?"
Lya nodded causing Harry to whoop in joy and wave his hand in front of him causing a flock of birds to appear out of thin air and start flying above his head. Harry saw Nafrayu's curiosity and caused one of the blue birds to land on the young Nox boy's head, much to his delight.
Nafrayu gently took the bird in his hand and stroked it before asking, "Are they really alive?"
Harry shook his head and said with a sad tone, "Life can't be created that easily. What I did is considered conjuration. It is the same as the specialized matter constructors you find on Tartarus. The spell, for the lack of a better word, caused the ZPE I released to mix with the ambient ZPE and together they transform into matter which is then manipulated to create a faux body of the birds. The final piece of the spell is that it enchants the faux body with lifelike properties. It doesn't have genes. They are much like a human form nanite beings, like the Asurans I told you about."
"Amazing. This is so intriguing. I doubt that any of us could create fields like these." Goldklaw said as he poked one of the birds with a long finger.
"Yes it is. We Nox can manipulate nature to a degree, but what Harry showed is truly beyond any of our imaginations."
"As do we ascended."
"Harry, do you plan to use this knowledge on Terran ZPE manipulation to help the Asgard Cloning Problem?" Thor asked with curiosity.
Harry nodded with a grin and said, "There is a myth in magic called the Philosophers Stone. It is the end goal of the Alchemy discipline. It can be used to create a substance that is called the Elixir of Life. The Elixir can revert the damage done on a genetic level and return the consumers body to their prime for a short while."
Everyone nodded as Nafrayu asked, "But you said that it was a myth?"
"It was, but nearly seven hundred Terran cycles ago, a man and his wife created it. Continued consumption of the Elixir can strengthen the life force of the consumer to beyond natural levels, much like our life force strengthening treatments. He is still alive and quite famous for his discovery. I just have to meet him and then work with him to make the age reverting property permanent."
"Are you sure that it is possible?" Goldklaw asked with interest. As a former healer, he was very interested in the possible applications of this Elixir of Life.
"Who knows, but I am sure that there must be a way to at least change the formula enough so that once a person is reverted, they will age normally. Even if I fail, the Asgard can easily revert the damage for a certain period of time. That will allow them to hopefully breed again."
"That's is a possible solution and the most viable as well. That is if the Elixir will work with the Asgard." Thor said causing everyone to nod in agreement.
After that, the group was silent as they traveled to the secured Ring Transporter. Reaching it, they all transported themselves down to the moon. To be specific, the Ring Transporter Room in the headquarters. Walking out of the room, the group journeyed to the private dining room meant to entertain dignitaries.
As they entered the room, the group saw only three more Furlings present. One looked the same age as the King and was probably the King's mate. Beside her stood a young female and in the young female's arms was a child.
"My friends, these are mine mate, Stormhook…"
"Welcome to Craigspool allies of old!" The elder female said with a smile.
"…mine daughter, Silverfang…"
"It is an honor to meet all of you!" Silverfang said with a small nod of her head.
"And in mine daughter's arms is mine only son. He is only a yearling, so…"
"He doesn't have a name as of yet." Harry ended causing the King to nod in agreement.
"Mine family, these are Supreme Commander Thor of the Asgard, Lya and her son Nafrayu of the Nox, Ganos Lal of the Ascended and Harry Potter, the de-facto High Chancellor of the Nova Alterans."
"Please, come and sit. The cooks have cooked up a feast, the likes of which hasn't been seen in since mine mate was elected into office a first time eighty-three Terran cycles ago!"
Everyone sat down at Stormhook's invitation. Soon, a plethora of Furling dishes were arrayed on the large table. As they partook in the lunch, all of them shared information with each other. While this was occurring, Harry suddenly remembered something.
"Excuse me King Goldklaw, but were any Furling colony sent to Terra in the past ten thousand years?"
"Not to the best of my knowledge. Why?"
"My probes had found a race of beings that bear striking resemblance to your race and even use the same language. I haven't had the probe gather genetic samples, but it is my belief that they may be Furlings."
"Can you share the information with me right now?" Goldklaw asked as he took out a metallic looking pad.
Harry nodded before taking out a standard data pad and activating it. Mentally commanding the pad to link up with Goldklaw's data pad, Harry transmitted the necessary files. Goldklaw studied the data before activating a video file. A holographic image was projected above the pad that showed an immense city carved out of bedrock with magnificent structures engraved in precious stones and metal. Multiple beings that looked like Furlings, just with paler skin walked about the city.
Magnifying the image to a forge in the city, they saw one of the beings hammer away at a sword while another was waving his hands above the sword between strikes and chanting in Furling. They saw as the probe changed sensors that showed how the chanting Furling was releasing and manipulating ZPE and then imbuing the ZPE field into the forging blade.
"Can you send an order to do a genetic scan?" Goldklaw asked with a shaking voice causing Harry to nod and send the order.
"It will take a couple of minutes. The probe was studying the Merpeople culture."
"What are Merpeople?" Nafrayu asked with curiosity causing Harry to project images of a Merman and Mermaid.
"These are Merpeople. They are one of the races with the ability to manipulate ZPE on Terra. I was interested in their genetic structure as they have some of the Alteran genetic markers while others are completely unknown. I believe that they may be descendants of Alterans and some other aquatic race of being. I have actually assigned them the genus of Icthyosapien."
"Fish people?" Harry nodded causing Ganos to laugh, "An appropriate name coined by a child."
"I just checked the records. It seems that seven thousand years ago, a colonizing group was scheduled to Terraform and colonize the fourth planet in the Sol System. The last news we received from them was that of a radiation leakage. The then Queen had written them off as lost. It seems that some of them must have survived. They must have crash landed on Terra and has been living there since. Young Harry, I think the Furlings will be in greater debt to you than ever! Not only have you reconnected us with the Alliance, you have also given us a chance to reconnect with our lost brethren."
"The Furlings don't owe me anything. This was just a case of being in the right place at the right time! Besides I am doing this because we are friends."
"As you wish, but know that, every Furling will know your name after this!"
Harry nodded before an alert drew his attention. Shifting through the data, the probe had gathered, Harry nodded with satisfaction before saying, "There is a 98% match with the DNA records we have on database. Congratulations King Goldklaw, we have found a lost tribe of Furlings."
"What a joyous day this is truly turning out to be! Harry, do you plan to return back to Terra in the future?"
"Yes, in two Terran cycles. I was planning to meet up with the Furling descendants, or as they call themselves, the Goblins. They control the banking sector of the hidden enclaves of Alteran descendants and other ZPE manipulating species. I have some banking needing to be done."
"Then may I ask a favor. We can approach them, but they may be hostile to us. I was hoping that you would carry a message from me to their leader."
"Of course. It would be my pleasure. Their present Hordemaster as the Alteran Descendants call the Goblin King as is one Ragnok MithrilKlaw. Before he became the king, he was my families Account Manager and probably still is. From what little I have learned, they take pride in their work and tend to keep doing it until they die."
"You have been probing into their records, haven't you?" Goldklaw asked with a chuckle as Harry nodded.
"What can I say, I need to know if they can be trusted. After all, as of this moment, Harry Potter is a missing celebrity on Terra. If word got out that I was seen before I am ready, then the manipulative old man known as Albus Percival Wulfric Bryan Dumbledore and the idiotic politicians will try to get me under their thumb again. I won't allow that!"
"What do you mean Harry?" Silverfang asked with confusion when Ganos said, "After his parents died, he was placed with his abusive baseline human aunt and her family by Dumbledore. I used a bit of my ascended power to poke around to gather information that I later told Harry. It seems that Dumbledore believes that the Dark Lord that attacked Harry and his family was still alive by using some kind of perverted binding to keep his soul tethered to the mortal plane. I also believe that to be true. Anyway, Dumbledore plans to have Harry brought up as a weapon against this Dark Lord, so he purposely placed Harry in an abusive environment so that his growth is stunted, his self-belief is damaged and he worships Dumbledore as a savior."
"Then I agree with Harry's prudence. It is better to be prepared than go in blind. As soon as he reveals himself, he will be at war!" Stormhook said with an approving look.
Goldklaw sat there with a glowering expression before saying in a cold tone, "Are you going to let him go free after such transgressions against you? I know that the Nox teach peace and forgiveness, but that doesn't mean that everyone deserves forgiveness!"
"While we do preach peace and understanding, but sometimes it is necessary to defend ourselves. I have taught Harry that as his primary morality teacher. We Nox may be pacifistic, but we know that Harry can't follow our path fully. He has his own, so I taught him appropriately."
"I see, though don't take offence to my words. I was merely speaking by the beliefs of my own people. Attacking a youngling is not something we take lightly." Goldklaw said with a bow of his head to Lya and Nafrayu.
"That we remember from our history lessons." Lya said with a laugh.
"Let us do away with unpleasant talks at the lunch table, shall we. Such topics are for the throne room and War Command posts!" Stormhook said causing everyone to nod. "Please let us dig in. I am sure the little ones will like the assortment of fungal platters we have here!"
It had been over two years now since Harry and Nafrayu had found the Furlings again. Harry is now nearly nine years old and had completed all of his studies with the Ascended, the Nox and the Asgard in record time. Only the Furling final exams was left, but he was going to take it after he had trained up a squad of Nova Alteran Rapid Action Force. The final exam would be a simple squad vs squad capture the flag with standard military equipment usage set to stun.
His ninth birthday was approaching soon and with it, his ascendance to full control of the Nova Alteran civilization. The Gas Giant had been converted into a beautiful garden world a couple of months ago with a stable ecosystem developed using cloned animals and plants from all over the galaxy. The planet, was approximately three times larger than Terra and had to have a gravity field manipulation device implanted at the core to prevent excess gravity wells near the surface up to a height of three miles. The two moons that orbited the Gas Giant was moved closer so that they wouldn't fly off and cause damage to the surrounding systems. One of the moons was planned to be transformed into a garden world to be used to grow and harvest the biomass needed for the future potions and elixirs that Harry was interested in adding to their culture.
The other moon was very rich in minerals which included vast quantities of Naquadah, Trinium and the exotic Orichalcum. A material that had the Ascended widen their eyes in shock. It was a material that was similar to platinum in properties but was extremely good conductor of ZPE, much better than Naquadah. Small amounts of it were once used to create some of their greatest technologies. Technologies that they were sad to declare lost as they were unable to find natural sources of Orichalcum. One of them was an incomplete Black Hole generating device. Unfortunately, the original mind behind the technology had passed on instead of Ascending, so the Ascended had wrote it off as an unfeasible project at the moment.
Today is the day of Harry's ninth birthday. Many of Harry's acquaintances among the four races were gathered at the large formal meeting hall. Among them were the nine hundred and sixty-five Nova Alterans, the orphans of different ages, who were rescued at Harry's behest, moved around with excitement. May of the leaders of the four races were milling about near the raised dais in the middle of the room. The Nova Alterans looked at their ascended kin in awe, while a young but beautiful girl of Japanese origin was talking with Oma and Hemidal.
The young girl was about Harry's age with long raven hair and deep forest green almond shaped eyes. Around her, a strong aura of ambient ZPE could be felt by those sensitive to it. While all the Nova Alterans were wearing traditional Alteran robes, the girl was wearing robes modified to look more like a Japanese kimono enchanted with a moving embroidery of a swirling galaxy in gold thread. The kimono cloth was a deep purple, almost black like the night sky. Her long hair was pulled up in a high ponytail and held in place by using two ornate chopsticks made of jade. Instead of the boots worn by the Nova Alterans, she wore high heeled shoes studded with small Orichalcum anti-gravity field emitters that looked like jewels.
"When do you think Harry will arrive Yuri?" A blonde haired girl a couple of years older than the Japanese girl asked as she approached with a tough looking Russian boy about four years older than her.
"Oh, Charlotte, Nikolai… are you ready? As for where Harry is… I think Ganos is warning him about not pulling pranks today… again. When will she learn that she is just going to cause him to revolt and pull a bigger one."
Nikolai chuckled before saying in a whisper, "But he does have a great prank planned for the whole alliance. I can just imagine the faces everyone will have!"
"Quiet! We don't want anyone to suspect anything!" Yuri hissed and turned around when she felt someone watching her. She was surprised to see that it was Silverfang who was staring at them with a bit of suspicion. Approaching the trio, the older Furling princess asked, "Alright, what has Harry planned now? You three are in on it, I just know it, so tell me!"
"I don't know what you mean Silverfang. It must be your imagination acting up." Yuri quickly said only for Nafrayu to run up with an excited look and speak, "The Flamels are already here!"
Silverfang looked surprised before she turned to a sheepish looking Yuri and smirked, "My imagination acting up, huh? Tell me!"
"Nikolai, you know what to do. Make sure that no one finds out before the time is right. Harry would have our heads otherwise if incompetency destroys his speech!"
Nikolai nodded before rushing off but not before motioning for four of the Tartarus Internal Security personnel to follow him. Turning to Silverfang, Yuri said, "Harry has planned to reveal some surprises to the Alliance as part of his ascendancy speech as a thanks to all his mentors and friends among the Alliance. Please keep it a secret."
"Alright then…" Silverfang began but stopped as the lights in the room dimmed while a spotlight focused on the raised dais. In a flash of white light, Harry appeared wearing the traditional robes of an Alteran High Chancellor, though the color was changed to a deep royal blue with the collars being engraved with gold thread. On his breast was the emblem of the Nova Alterans, a pale violet N made of Naquadah with an A embossed in the silver back plate of the emblem.
Beside him appeared, High Councilor Penegal of the Asgard, Eldest Ohper of the Nox, King Goldklaw of the Furlings and High Chancellor Atlas of the Ascended Alterans. All of them wearing traditional dress uniforms of their respective races positions.
"In the spirit of the four, welcome everyone to the Ascension ceremony for one Harry James Potter of the Nova Alterans. We, the four leaders of the Old Alliance, with our blessings turn over the position of High Chancellor of the Nova Alterans to young Harry James Potter. May he lead his people and his allies to peace and prosperity. If there is anyone who would contest his ascension, speak now or forever hold your peace!" Atlas said and waited for a minute to give any naysayers the chance.
"Since there is no contest, Harry James Potter, please step forward!"
Harry stepped forward and kneeled down in front of the four beings and waited. All four placed their hands on Harry's head and one by one, each of them gave Harry their blessing in their native tongue. After that was over, Harry stood up and waited for Atlas to speak again.
"Now for the Oath! Do you Harry James Potter swear to uphold the laws of your people and the Alliance?"
"I do!" Harry enchanted causing a flash of light to erupt out of him.
"Do you, swear to do everything in your power to the peace of the universe and the protection of the younger races from destruction?"
"I do!"
"Do you, swear to help guide the younger races to the stars like your ancestors did but not contaminate their culture with advanced technology beyond their ability to apprehend and appreciate?"
"I do!"
"And do you swear to never abuse your authority and power and to make sure that your race will be raised back to the height of their glory?"
"I do!"
"Then by the power vested in me by the Alliance Charter, I declare you as the new High Chancellor of the Nova Alterans! Then stand tall for you have been found worthy of such an esteemed position!"
Harry turned to the gathered crowd and said, "I thank you all for coming here this most auspicious day. The day the Nova Alterans start travelling the stars once again. I thank all of you for the support and kindness shown to my people. And I am most thankful for the education my mentors from all four races gave me so that I would be ready for this great responsibility. Simple words cannot express my gratitude and the gratitude of all my people, so I have decided to give you all gifts as our thanks to you all!"
Everyone started muttering to themselves in surprise. None had expected Harry to give them anything.
"To the Asgard, I give you back your vitality and the ability to procreate." Harry said causing gasps to escape the gathered Asgard as in a flash of light, Hemidal, Yuri, Nicholas Flamel and his wife Prenelle appeared with a stasis chamber floating in front of them. Inside the stasis chamber was a female humanoid Asgard body with the genetic characteristics of Hemidal.
"This is a clone body of myself that Master Nicholas Flamel and young Yuri Potter helped develop using High Chancellor Harry Potter's theory of using a bath of rectified Elixir of Life to be used instead of the nutritive fluid in which the clones are normally grown. As hypothesized, the law of diminishing returns was nullified and the rectified Elixir of Life restored the genetic code to the original state during which we started the cloning process. The body we were born with millions of years ago!" Cheers filled the hall as everyone celebrated the breakthrough with the genetic damage problem of the Asgard.
"Hemidal, please prepare for your existence to be transferred to the new corrected clone!"
"Of course High Chancellor!" Hemidal said with what little excitement her body could express.
A flash of light occurred and with it, a specialized biobed appeared on the dais. The stasis chamber was docked to the back of the bed while Hemidal laid down on the bed. After Hemidal was comfortable, a nano-glass dome formed around Hemidal.
"Excuse me High Chancellor Harry, but wont the process take hours to complete?" Thor asked with confusion only for Flamel to laugh and say, "Not with the technique Harry and I developed Supreme Commander Thor."
"What do you mean Master Flamel?"
"A combination of complex soul alchemy and the technological transfer technique to transfer the whole soul in a fraction of the time it should have taken with conventional technology. Transfer of essence to a faux body called a Homunculus is quite possible by the use of Alchemy. This is just using the concept and applying it to transfer Hemidal's soul into the new cloned body within moments."
Just as Nicholas said, a complex alchemic formula formed on the nano-glass dome before they began to glow. At the same time, another alchemic formula glowed on the glass surface of the stasis pod. The glowing continued for a few minutes before fading. A large holographic display was projected from the biobed and showed the status of the bodies attached to it.
Hemidal's former body was showing signs of no brain activity and was slowly shutting down. At the same time, the clone body was showing signs of increased brain activity as the body was slowly brought out of stasis. After the standard checks was done, Hemidal was released from the stasis pod to the surprise of the anticipating crowd.
"How are you feeling Hemidal?" Thor asked as he approached the chief geneticist of the Asgard.
"Quite well! Never have I expected to have hormones and endorphins travelling through me again. It is quite unsettling to have them flow through my blood stream again, though a pleasure as well." Hemidal said with her excitement and happiness clearly depicted by her new body. "Oh… it seems that I will need to pace myself. Having a sudden change in my center of gravity is throwing my balance off a bit."
"Be that as it may, I congratulate you Hemidal and thank you Master Flamel, Young Yuri and High Chancellor Harry for this wonderful gift to my race!" Penegal said with a deep bow.
Harry nodded with a smile before turning to the Nox. "To the Nox, I return to you an ancient of your race. Someone who left your world to teach the infantile humans to respect nature. I give you the one who has forgotten his name and now goes by the title, 'Keeper of the Grove!'"
In a flash of light, an old male Nox, older than even Ohper appeared sitting on throne of wood with vines entangling him. All the gathered Nox were surprised at the revelation before Ohper finally spoke. Something, very few have been privileged to witness.
"Is that you Great-Great Grandfather?"
The old man sitting on the wooden throne looked at Ohper with narrowed eyes. Eyes that were milky white signifying blindness. After a few moments the old man smiled and said, "You are related to little Aluvius, aren't you? Yes, that's right. You have a similar signature to my grandson. And from the depreciation in your bio-energy signature, I would say that you are his grandson. I was quite sad when I sensed Aluvius pass on into the void. He was a little over thirteen hundred Terran cycles old at the time wasn't he?"
Everyone looked startled at what the old Nox said. It was Nafrayu who asked, "What is your name great ancestor? I have never heard Grandfather speak of you."
The Keeper of the Grove looked at Nafrayu with a small smile as he said, "You are my great-great grandson's grandson. His daughter's son to be exact. Yes, I can feel the connection and your powerful passive connection to the universe. You would make a sage who would rival me in time!"
"What do you mean Great Ancestor?" Lya asked only for the Keeper to laugh and say, "The child has the strongest passive connection to the universe since me. In the past five millennia, I have become connected to the universe in a way that only the Ascended have after leaving behind the mortal plane. Because of the connection, I can feel the designs of the universe and its will. Many of us in the Great Alliance would deny the existence of a greater force being the architect of our dooms, but I will tell you now, there is such a force. Isn't that right Eldest of the Ascended?"
Atlas laughed as he said, "You still have to pull my leg don't you Ormethius. You know that is one knowledge that most of our people aren't ready to confront yet, so tell me, why?"
"You know why Atlas. You are the arbiter of the force for the Alterans. The Force has chosen its champion. That is the reason you have decided to interfere in mortal affairs again against the original will of the force. It is because the force decided to allow an intervention that you did."
"What is the Eldest Nox Sage speak of Atlas?"
Atlas sighed before turning to Athena and with a grim expression, he said, "There are something's that you all are still two young to comprehend Athena. Not physically, but mentally. Other than I, only Ormethius and young Harry have the mental capacity to comprehend the will of the universe. The will which Ormethius refers to as the force. The vision I had gained of a renewed alliance with Harry at the lead, it was sent to me by the force. It wished for us to intervene, so I did."
"As I said, the force has selected its champion. The champion's duty is to bring all of the universe to order. As the leader of a precursor race, he is the only one with the authority to really interfere with the development of younger races and the universe at large. It is his greatest duty to bring back balance and peace to the universe."
"Great! Another prophecy!" Harry muttered causing Ormethius and Atlas to chuckle before the Nox Sage said, "The prophecy that pertains to you and the Dark Lord and the duty to bring back peace and order to the Universe is one and the same. Voldemort isn't the Dark Lord of the prophecy. The Dark Lord is yet to arrive!"
"What do you mean? Voldemort isn't that much of a threat?" Harry asked incredulously.
"Do you believe him to be a threat? With the access to your knowledge, to the immense amounts of power at your disposal and the technology at your fingertips. Are you sure that you can't devise some shield to stop the Unforgivable spells?" Ormethius said with a chuckle as a vine grew from his throne and reached out to Harry. A small blue berry grew at the end of the vine before dropping into Harry's hand. "Eat, and the inherent ZPE properties of the berry will allow you to get into a trance that will open up your inner eye. Only use it when you are out of options, for it will allow you to focus on the path you need to take at that moment for the general good of the universe, but after that you must train to understand and use this power, for it is not for the faint of heart!"
"Your path won't be easy Harry. It never is for a Leader, but doubly more so for you. If you need advice, you shall have mine and Ormitheus's wisdom."
A thick silence filled the room for a few minutes as everyone absorbed what the eldest of the two eldest races said. When the silence began to become too intense a rough voice spoke, "You know Lord Potter, when you said that it will be party filled with revelations and surprises, I didn't think we ourselves would be the ones surprised."
"What can I say, no plan survives first contact!" Harry said with a chuckle as Ragnok appeared out of thin air beside Nicholas and Prenelle Flamel. A silvery cloak was in his hands that seemed to shimmer in the light. "Let us continue. To the Furlings, I give you the Hordemaster Ragnok, the Leader of the long lost Terran Furlings who go by the name of Goblins now. King Goldklaw, as you requested, I have informed Hordemaster Ragnok of his and his peoples heritage and they are willing to submit themselves back to the Furling Nation as a separate clan!"
"King Goldklaw, the legend of our origins had become myth during the long exile mine ancestors had been forced to live through because of a fault in their starships. I and mine people hold no grudge against the then Furling Queen and her Council for abandoning them as the Queen had no way of knowing that some of mine ancestors survived. We moved underground as the radiation leakage had changed our genetics a bit that prevents us from surviving under prolonged exposure to the sun. So, even if a scout ship passed by, they would have been unable to detect our presence as I doubt they would have probed underground. I wish to say that the Goblin Clan wishes to remain on Terra, but will now be under the preview of the Furling Nation!" Ragnok said with a traditional bow.
Goldklaw walked forward and forced Ragnok to his feet before embracing the scarred warrior and saying, "Please do not bow my lost kin. It is a wonderful day that High Chancellor Potter has been able to reunite us. As to your wish, I recognize the formation of the Goblin Clan with you as the Hordemaster and your wish to stay on Terra is also duly noted and permission granted! I shall have a small base constructed on the Moon of Terra and within it, I shall place one of our reserved Astria Porta and a paired Ring Transporter array so that we shall always remain in contact!"
"It is as you wish my liege!"
Turning to Harry, Goldklaw smirked and said, "Hordemaster Ragnok, I find myself in a predicament. The Furlings owe a great debt to High Chancellor Potter. How do you think that we should honor him?"
Ragnok smirked and said, "By presenting a Furling wrought blade to Lord Potter, just as us of the Goblin Clan had done by gifting a sword to Lord Potter's ancestor, Godric Gryffindor, for his assistance against an incursion into Goblin Territory by a Dark Lord and his minions. I believe that such an honor would be the only thing possible to show our gratitude! What do you say, Lord Potter?"
Harry sighed as he said, "Good play King Goldklaw. I shall humbly accept it, but I believe that the presenting ceremony be held at a later time on Terra. I am sure that I can use that as a political advantage against the corrupt Terran Government!"
Everyone chuckled as Thor said, "It seems that Penegal's classes on Politics are coming in handy already and you aren't even on Terra yet!"
"He has already been on Terra. After all, he did make contact with Master Flamel and his wife, Hordemaster Ragnok and I. All of us were on Terra." Ormethius said with a chuckle.
"Right, I forgot that."
"Now as a thank you to my Ascended Kin, I give you back a member of our race from the time of great plague. Yuri, if you would please?"
Yuri nodded and disappeared in a flash of light. As the girl left, everyone was wandering what Harry was talking about. Even with the most advanced stasis chambers, it is impossible to survive more than ten thousand years, and even then, it is not a guarantee.
In another flash of light Yuri reappeared with a woman beside her. The woman looked to be in her late twenties so she must be a little over three hundred years by Alteran standards. The woman had dark black hair and fair skin. Her muscles were a bit atrophied, so she was lying on a bio bed.
Oma's eyes watered as she gasped in shock. Slowly approaching the lying woman, Oma took careful notice of the woman's facial features as tears streamed down her face. Turning to Yuri, Oma asked, "My child, is this who I think it is?"
"You tell me. Who do you think it is?" Yuri asked with a smirk.
Oma gave a watery smile as she ran her hand through the woman's hair and said, "Aiyana, my little sister. She contracted the plague before she was ready to ascend. How is she even alive?"
"She created a powerful stasis chamber. It's in R&D now. Having chambers like that will help in the long run. Anyway, the chamber was buried deep within the ice near the Terran Outpost. I administered an antidote I developed after studying the notes of our Lantean kin. She is finally completely healed and will make a full recovery within a couple of weeks. She won't be able to speak much at this moment. The antidote took a lot of her remaining strength, so she will probably sleep for a few days before waking up. You are welcome to visit."
"Thank you Harry, Yuri! You don't know what it means to me to have my last blood kin back."
"Don't mention it Oma. Finally, to the Nova Alteran, my people and the members of Great Alliance, I give you the latest technology in power generation developed by me based on an incomplete theory by the Great Alteran Theoretical Meta-Physicist Nyx of the Night. She had an obsession with the color black and so decided to theorize a power core that used an artificially generated micro-singularity as a power source. Janus tried and failed to see the simple answer to the problem. I unveil the Nyx Core!"
Harry said as in a flash of light, a large spherical energy generation station appeared behind everyone on the dais. The core was about seven feet in diameter and was twelve feet high. It had the standard power outlets from the two stems, all unhooked. A large holographic screen was showing the energy being generated per second in the form of a line graph with a small display screen that was showing the stability of the singularity and the possible time the singularity will vaporize.
"How did you get it to work?" Janus asked with shock only for Harry to grin and say, "Nyx left clues to the answer. Solving the clues, I realized what was needed. I will give you access to the files before you leave."
"I think that you forgot to show this High Chancellor!" Charlotte said as she showed a small floating metallic ball with multiple power outlets and a Potentia charging port. "This everyone is a Nano-Nyx. A smaller portable power core that will give an equivalent power output to nine Potentia connected in series."
"Are you meaning to tell me that that small ball will allow us to power Tartarus!" Ganos asked with incredulity.
"Of course. You didn't think that a singularity power core had a weak output did you? I designed the Nano-Nyx for just this reason. Besides, Tartarus will be upgraded soon to use the Nyx as its primary power source with the Seven Potentia power plant as reserve. The Nano-Nyx is more for the use in constructor ships and arrays. I won't allow such technology to be implemented into the primary fleet!"
"You are going to change the Stellar Matter Generators to Potentia Power Plants, aren't you?" Athena asked with curiosity.
Harry nodded causing the old Alteran female to sigh before saying, "Let's just finish with this ceremony so that we all can just relax and have fun! Also, I would like to congratulate the young couple for their bonding. To Harry and Yuri!"
Cheers filled the hall as everyone clapped in appreciation of Harry and Yuri before everyone wished Harry a happy birthday and both a happy life, after which, they started to celebrate.
A/N: Hey Everyone! I hope you like this one. As many of you wished, I have decided to continue writing it while reducing the writing of 'Return to the Past' to one chapter a month from two.
