Gendo Ikari found himself wondering if the Evangelions the only giant robots and the Angels the only threat would make these meetings go easier. He was sure they'd mention every minor menace, mad scientist, and opportunist with a giant robot out to cause trouble. All of them nothing compared to the Angel threat and none of them a major concern to his plans. Though he was amused at how new types had taken a hammer to the Old Men's talk of the human race having reached a dead end in evolution.
Not that new types stopped their plans to become gods. Or the fact even as gods they'd likely have to deal with aliens or a colony or ten dropped on them to try to kill them. There was no way anyone in the O'Neill colonies, on Mars, around Jupiter or on extrasolar colonies were going to put up with the Old Men. He could see their plan was doomed to failure and their own destruction.
While his being inside Eva-01 with Yui they could withstand whatever doomsday that was created and unleashed by man or alien. Their own perfect and private paradise away from an imperfect universe.
The view of bustling underground city that was Jaburo did nothing for Supreme Commander Ikari but remind him that he was outside of this fiefdom of Tokyo-3. A fact he was not happy of as he rather be teleconferencing this from his seat of power. It won't matter honestly but mentally he'd feel a bit more sure of the end results being in his favor.
"So you consider these Angels to be the biggest threat? What about the Mimetic Beasts?" an admiral asked Gendo.
"They have fallen as a threat to merely an annoyance," Gendo remarked. "One not even needing the main unit as its pilot as become a mere shadow of what he once was."
"Or Zentradi forces still roaming the galaxy?" another admiral inquired.
"Merely bands of pirates and soldiers who have no purpose and can be dealt with easily with a song," Gendo commented. "Any song as it seems Fire Bomber is good enough to do for an entire ship of them."
"Or ZAFT as they intend to attack the Earth!" one general said sounding frantic.
Gendo nearly rolled his eyes. "The genetic augments have enough issues as the process George Glenn gave was clearly not designed for multiple generations of breeding. They would run into population issues sooner than later if they tried anything."
"Not everyone is that focused on the big picture," the second admiral mused.
"That is true," Gendo admitted. "However for beings of enhanced intelligence ignoring such a fact before starting a war would prove them to be defective."
"What of those spidercrabs that are trying to do...who knows what on the Earth?"
"And so far have failed," Gendo retorted.
"What about whatever the Zeon faction calls themselves these days?"
"I don't fear whatever those forces intend to do."
"What about whoever funded those Gundams from the colonies?" the general asked. "I mean one of them blew up a space colony."
"Heavily armed terrorists or freedom fighters or whatever they wish to be called are your problem, and not one NERV was created to fight," Gendo noted.
"And the Reclaimers and their supposed attempt to end the world so the Orphan can leave the planet?" the first admiral asked.
"Given the sort of people the Reclaimers have are all psychologically damaged in extreme manners I doubt they could run a thrift store without several people having breakdowns," Gendo said dismissively.
Gendo Ikari ignored the expressions on the trio of officers that they felt the same could be said of NERV.
"And the Zanscare Empire?" the second admiral inquired.
"A self defeating nation," Gendo commented. "Once they realize that the nobles and women in charge means completely nothing."
"And the Dinosaur Empire? They are extremely persistent."
"Londo Bell should be able to handle them," Gendo stated with it clear he held Londo Bell to the level of a clean up crew or janitors compared to NERV.
"And I assume you consider Doctor Hell also in that category," the first admiral remarked snidely.
"Like that deranged Santa Claus looking man is of any real threat beyond whoever he performs surgery on," Gendo said coldly. Even by his standards it was said coldly.
"Wait until he finds out about all those defective and discarded Evangelions and has some fun with them," the general stated sharply. "After he's done making those things even more nightmarish you will be singing a different tune."
Gendo made a note to find out who told these men about that. That leak would have to be removed for good. As he mentally worked on his plans of that he barely paid attention to a man with long purple hair refilling the various drinks. The hair covered up one of his eyes and one side of his face. At most Gendo thought the major to be an adjunct to the general.
"What of the threat Professors Gou and Hamaguichi are working to prepare for?"
"The Angels will do far worse to this planet than the ravings of a long missing man," Gendo remarked. "A threat that others could deal with as it merely aliens without anything that exotic."
"And you sure NERV could handle anything...he...ends up fighting?" the second admiral asked.
"He who?" Gendo inquired as there were a lot of individuals that could apply.
"He prefers to be called Coop."
Inwardly Gendo groaned as he was aware of that troublemaker and his giant robot with a car for a head. He was sure Coop would find fighting an Angel in Tokyo-3 to be a dream come true given his love of giant monster movies. With the city in complete and utter ruin coming to mind thanks to Coop and Megas having battled there.
Gendo Ikari had to mentally revise his belief on all things would be minor problems. That insane mech pilot taking any of the Children under his wing frightened him completely. The man was chaos incarnate and had the devil's luck.
And he feared the Second Child trying to improve her Evangelion to compete with the super robot known as Megas. Even more so if people from the Junk Guild got involved in the custom work. One of them had managed to turn the 'Boss Borot" from a literal pile of giant robot shaped junk into an effective fighting machine.
Evangelion 02 shooting chest beams, firing off it's fists like rockets and laser vision came to his mind on the sort of things that could be done by the Junk Guild. With all that throwing off his plans.
"I'd rather not have to deal with him at all," Gendo said after several more moments. "Ever."
Yet Gendo had a feeling he was not going to get his wish on that.
"Well he is part of Londo Bell and they will be the first response team to any Angel attack," the first admiral stated and it almost sounded like a threat to Gendo. Or perhaps calling it a promise would be more accurate.
It did prove that NERV was not trusted and they were keeping an eye on him. And giant robots to wreck his stuff in case he needed dealt with. It then hit Gendo that Izu Base or Far East Base was the closest military base to Tokyo 3. Londo Bell would be close at hand no matter how much or little he was trusted by the military.
Gendo inwardly sighed as that meant his plans just got a bit tougher. Nothing he couldn't overcome to be with Yui again, but still an annoyance he'd rather not have to deal with. The influence many in Londo Bell could be on the 3rd Child could make things harder for him.
Especially Coop as Amuro Ray, or even psychopaths like Ryoma Nagare followed patterns he could use against them. The pilot of Megas just did what he wanted and was very unpredictable in that. The only assured thing was he'd find trouble and fight it.
V-V-V
There was a scream that woke up everyone and a cause of concern as it came from the newest recruit for Londo Bell. The surreal nature of what had happened to Harry had kept him going in shock and the horror from completely sinking in.
Now it call came crashing down on him that he literally had no family and likely nowhere to live in the summer months. Snuffles instantly got his bed and licked his face. Sirius wanted so much to turn back into his human form to comfort Harry, but he was pretty sure an unknown individual (and boy did he hate being that in his godson's life) and one he was sure the Ministry had told the muggle world he was a murderer on the loose really won't go well especially now.
Masaki shot up from his bed and was expecting to see the ship invaded or something. What he saw was his roommate ghostly pale and with a look of utter terror on his face. It was an expression Masaki had seen in the mirror before going to La Gias.
"I'm all alone…" Harry said softly. "With just a va...er trust fund from my parents, and my pets."
Sirius wondered what the hell was going on as Harry had a lot more than the vault set up for him. The Potters were an old family and had built up wealth and various properties over the centuries. Someone should have been teaching him what he needed to know as heir to a major family. Something about this all smelled really bad to Sirius and he didn't like it at all. Once he got that rat and his name cleared there was going to be a lot of changes that would happen. He wasn't going to settle for anything less. And Dumbledore was going to have to answer some questions and double talk was not going to be allowed.
Harry then noticed a lot of concerned people waiting outside the now open door. And also several people that looked disappointed in there not being something to kick the crap out of. Ryoma Nagare among those that wanted to smash some heads.
"Man I was hoping for something to beat up," Ken Kaido yawned. "Nothing starts the day like kicking some ass."
Several people looked at Ken like he was a massive jerk. Jun Huno elbowed him in the gut for his crass comment. It made Ryo almost smirk seeing that happen to his partner in piloting the Mazinkaiser SKL.
Harry blushed. "Sorry to worry any of you."
"You lost your family yesterday and we expected this to happen far sooner," Amuro admitted. "Despite Major Zonvolt's belief they all should be left in a ditch somewhere."
Hedwig barked in agreement on that should be the fate of that family. She didn't like them at all for how they treated Harry. Or their treatment of her.
Snuffles licked Harry's face again. Harry let out a deep breath and then petted his dog behind the ears. Kuro and Shiro looked a bit wary of the recovering dog. Something about him felt strange to them. Like it was more than just a dog. Given the things they had encountered it wasn't exactly unexpected.
Harry then noticed the concern on the faces of those that didn't leave. It felt strange to him to have anyone feel concerned for what he'd gone through. Especially from people that were adults. Was this what Ron and Hermione had but he didn't have?
Jealousy started to build in Harry at his friends having family that cared about him, and he had frankly the exact opposite. Snuffles licked him again as Sirius could tell Harry needed to calm down a bit before his magic did something crazy.
Harry felt a bit spent as his emotional rollercoaster kept on going. Grief, anger, sadness and more came and went rapidly now. A dam had burst in Harry and repressed feelings could not be held back anymore.
Masaki shocked his allies by not asking Harry if he'd be ok.
Sirius looked around the room and hoped Harry hadn't turned things different colors or made them levitate. If only because the poor oblitators that had to deal this bunch would get beaten up. That was before the giant golems got used in that disagreement.
Not that he believed his godson doing accidental magic really would bother this bunch. Not after finding out about La Gias and the pair of talking cats among them.
Harry took deep breaths and tried to regain some level of emotional equilibrium.
"Anyone else get the feeling it's a good thing he's doing that?' Ryusei Date asked. He had felt something in the air that felt very strange and a bit dangerous.
Snuffles and Hedwig worked in their own ways to help Harry calm down. Given the ship didn't need a massive hole in it or everything turned different colors.
Harry soon could say he didn't feel his emotions were going run wild, which as good as he felt he'd get right now. He also felt a bit drained by his magic wanting to break free like that.
"You ok?" Lowe Guele asked Harry.
"As much as I can be," Harry admitted softly.
That statement wasn't exactly reassuring.
"He'll get through it," Sanger remarked sounding completely certain. "Once he latches onto a goal he sees it through to the end."
"How would you know that?" Ken remarked.
Sanger looked the insane swordsman right in the eye. "Because he is a warrior. And not a psychopath like you."
"Whatever," Ken muttered.
Harry really didn't pay attention to them as the blue haired nurse from yesterday looked him over again. Or the fact he was seeing a lot hair colors on people on this ship that he'd never seen before in Surrey or in Hogwarts.
Kusuha frowned as Harry wasn't used to people actually showing concern for him. Along with Harry's medical scans it painted a picture that she didn't like at all. Especially with someone who it seemed was a nice person in spite of all that.
She had no idea Sanger was ready to hold down the still living Dursleys and force them to take as much of Kushina's foul health drinks they could pour down their throats.
'Those things needed to registered as weapons,' Sanger thought and tried to avoid shivering in remembering how it tasted.
Harry was flustered and not sure what to make of this attention. It was different than what he got at Hogwarts as it wasn't from his fame. Or his ability to talk to snakes that somehow made people think he was dark.
Actually he thought with amusement they'd probably just ask if snakes were very good conversationalists.
"I think I should just get started learning how to drive a mobile suit," Harry then said. "The sooner the better."
Kusuha didn't exactly look convinced that was the best idea. Sticking someone who just had gone through that much trauma into a cockpit was a terrible idea. Despite how often that sort of thing happened.
Nor did she think Major Sanger was exactly trained in psychology. Or anyone on the ship really for that matter.
Then a very bubbly blonde in a red and white uniform shoved her way through the crowd in the hall.
"Ah it'd be nice to see what he can do," Excellen said with a wide grin. "He can call me Big Sis Excel like everyone else."
Harry wasn't quite sure what to make of the woman that walked into the room. Her team mate Brooklyn "Bullet" Luckfield hoped she didn't flash her cleavage at him. It'd probably freak out Harry more than it had him.
Sirius wasn't sure what was going on. This was getting weird. And something about that bubbly girl scared him. It confounded him as he wasn't sure what it was or could be. It was just a feeling he was getting, but he felt danger from her.
Excellen then petted Snuffles. "Aren't you a good dog?"
"I haven't had any trouble with him," Harry admitted.
"I have a dog as well," Excellen grinned.
"Oh so what is the dog's name?" Harry asked.
"Oh he's named Bob," Excellen said still with a teasing tone to her voice.
"He's a menace," Kusuha grumbled in a tone that sounded almost alien to her.
"He just likes you," Excellen giggled.
The blue haired nurse's expression made it clear she really didn't find that little pug liking her to be a good thing.
"Can I just learn how to pilot a mech?" Harry asked as this was all very weird.
"Get changed and we'll see what you can do," Sanger told Harry. "You were issued a flight suit and helmet."
"Yes sir," Harry called out and tried to salute even though he had a dog on his lap and an owl on his shoulder.
Everyone just hoped Harry won't have to deal with some crazy crisis the first time he stepped into the cockpit of a mech or simulator. It'd be nice for him to at least know what all the controls did before he ended up having to fight something.
V-V-V
At the Ministry of Magic everything was in complete chaos. Sirius Black was on the loose, and the Boy Who Lived had vanished in the aftermath of giant golems having a brawl where he lived. Also as a side note Harry Potter's muggle family having something that was assured to be fatal having happened to them.
With everyone it seemed expecting Dumbledore to pull a scrying device out of his bright robes that could tell where Harry was down to the room of whatever building he was in like the Hogwarts acceptance letters had.
And of course Cornelius Fudge wanted to be seen doing something. The Minister for Magic wanted to be in the headlines first, and anything else was secondary. He wanted the Boy Who Lived found and ready for a press photo now!
Those that had an understanding of the muggle world knew it was likely Harry Potter could be anywhere on Earth or out in space somewhere. However none of them were in a position to drill into the heads of people that this was going to be tricky, and require a lot things to go right. And pray any witnesses with their memories still intact don't shoot the Ministry building from orbit or with laser weapons a mech would have.
Only the most hard headed purebloods were able to ignore that the Moon had cities on it. It was very likely it had a higher population than the Wizarding United Kingdom had all together. Or the L point space colonies, people living on Mars, in colonies around Jupiter, and that humanity had left the solar system due to the faster than light drive found in the SDF-1 Macross.
The big problem involving them was that they seemed to be the ones working in the top positions and also as Fudge's major advisors. Dumbledore being the only one to advise Fudge at all that he at all listened to that could tell him how difficult finding a person hanging out with a group using giant robots could be.
And at the moment Dumbledore was not get through to Fudge at all.
"Cornelius you must understand," Dumbledore sighed.
"There is nothing that is needed to be understood," Minister Fudge stated. "We will find the Boy Who Lived and deal with anyone who kept him."
Dumbledore resisted giving Fudge and his Senior Undersecretary a dirty look. Though they were making it extremely difficult. Only his years at being in politics kept him from doing so. Or a great deal of other things.
"And what makes you think he is in somewhere we legally can do anything?" Dumbledore pointed out.
"I'm the Minister for Magic so there should not be…" Fudge said and Dumbledore just tuned him out at this point.
There was nothing to do but hope that young Auror could lead to Harry being found, and before something happened that became a political disaster. As the same line of thinking as tossing Hagrid into prison was being employed here and Albus doubted this was going to be any more useful or productive.
V-V-V
Harry threw himself into learning how to pilot a mobile suit. At this point it was the only place he could go, and he intended to be the best he could be. Much like he'd thrown himself into being a seeker.
He liked to think his being a seeker helped him with dodging high speed matter based weapons rounds.
In the control room for the very Burning PT like simulators Kai Kitamura turned to his old teammate Sanger.
"I'm sure you notice he fights like he has no sense of self preservation," the happily married man noted.
"And people wonder why I am pleased that those...Dursleys...have been removed from the equation?" Sanger commented.
"Well he's no new type," Sayla Mass stated. "Not that anyone really is surprised given he's from Earth."
"And no sign of coordinator augmentation," Kusuha added.
"Coordinators," Ryoma scoffed. "Overrated fighters."
"He is quite correct," Sanger sighed as he really didn't like agreeing with that madman on anything.
Ryoma's expression made it clear he really didn't care much for the "Sword that Pierces Evil" either.
Major Kitamura ignored the pair as he watched Harry in simulator throw himself into a battle with Oz forces with no regard for his own safety. The Rezel was a higher quality machine than Leos and Virgos,but it was outnumbered and the computer AI wasn't set to easy.
Inside the simulation Harry was working to deal with the waves of foes coming at him when an extremely fast moving object came flying at him. He barely avoided the Tallgeese III cutting his Rezel's head off.
"Simulations are fine and good," Preventer Wind remarked in his simulator cockpit. "However let's see how you do against an actual pilot."
Harry picked up a Leo's drum machine gun. In an instant he fired and tried to hit where the Tallgeese would be instead of where it was standing.
It really just amused Zechs. The glancing beam saber strike to the Tallgeese's head not so much.
"Good that I don't need to play around," Wind mused. He then showed Harry what an elite pilot could do to a novice.
"He's not giving up," Kusuha remarked as the Tallgeese ripped the Rezel apart.
It wasn't a slow death it was a very quick and brutal one.
Harry realized that being a mech pilot was not easy.
"Not giving up," Harry said as the simulation ended. "Let's do it again!"
Sanger was pleased at Harry's focus and not giving up.
"So who fights him next?" Kai inquired as Coop entered the control room with Kiva, Jamie, and a very bored looking kid.
Ryoma smiled psychotically at the kid and he hid behind Coop.
"Almost worth seeing it," Jamie remarked.
"Coop...what are you doing now?" Sanger asked wondering what insane thing Coop was up to now.
"Having to babysit my cousin for a few hours," Coop sighed. "And nothing impresses him."
"Wonder if he'll mention to Coop's mom he came face to face with Ryoma," Kiva mused as Skippy as he was called had been annoying to her as well.
Psychotic martial artists had a way of being remembered. No matter how hard one tried to forget about them.
Sayla tried to ignore that banter as Harry was now fighting Mazinger Z under the control of the well literal brains that were to be put into ancient robots that Doctor Hell had taken for his own and altered by him.
The units holding the brains wanted to kill everything that wasn't Mycene Empire.
"Holy hell!" Harry yelled as the Mazinger Z unit wasn't exactly that much taller than a mobile suit, but was a lot more powerful than his Rezel.
He barely avoided the Breast Fire attack that devastated the simulated landscape of Tokyo. Which already was in ruins due to the power of Mazinger Z.
Harry definitely was respecting the firepower of Mazinger Z now.
The Boy Who Lived worked to hack the Giger looking unit controlling the super robot out of where the Pilder aka jet/control unit for Mazinger Z would go.
Not made easy by the fact Mazinger Z could fire energy blasts from its eyes or the fists could fly off on rockets and punch him.
The unit holding the brain also moved like lightning and didn't want to get killed. Just before Harry could shoot it with a beam rifle the simulation ended.
"Huh?" Harry said.
"Looks like your first sortie is today," Sanger told him. "Looks like the Glorft are back and planning to slam the Moon into the Earth."
"Oh boy…" Harry said as that sank in.
V-V-V
On the Moon Warmaster Gorrath of the Glorft was confused. And for once it didn't involve that insane Earther who drove around the stolen warbot. It was that the humans of this time frame seemed better at fighting the Glorft Empire than those in the future.
True they were nearly crushed the era he was from, but actually were putting up credible resistance and that monkey was nowhere to be seen so far.
"How is this possible?" Gorrath growled as he watched video footage.
"Not the face!" his XO called out from reflex.
Gorrath just glared at the Glorft Commander for a moment. "Go out there and crush them!"
"Yes Warmaster!"
Gorrath was glad of one thing and that was that his ship was able to keep the Earthers from shooting the thruster from orbit. However one Glorft ship could not just destroy all the various ships attacking it with ease.
On the battlefield Kaworu Nagisa or Tabris as was his real name wondered what these aliens from the future meant being reunited with Father. Evangelion unit 06 was in the thick of combat and Kaworu's brother Sachiel hadn't even shown up on Earth yet. The time for his brother to show up was almost at hand though.
Tabris then ran through a Glorft mech with the Spear of Cassius. There was an explosion and Kaworu wasn't really that impressed with the quality of the alien mecha.
"I believe whatever it was they had to overwhelm the Earth they lack here," Kaworu mused.
While in a white Guncannon looking unit called a Schutzwald an attractive woman was mentally preparing and then fired the energy cannons at a Glorft warmech and blew it up.
Rahna Byraban worked to keep centered as other Mao Industries mecha, Anaheim Electronics mobile suits, variable fighters of various types , and various lunar forces attacked the alien invaders from the future.
To be honest the Glorft weren't exactly living up to their reputation if you heard what Commander Kiva Andrus had said about them. Oh they weren't pushovers, but they also didn't use the insanely sized combiner unit from the first battle with Megas, and it was just one ship.
Many generals and admirals believed the Glorft merely didn't have the manpower to conquer the Earth. Something Gorrath agreed with it seemed as he intended to have the Moon crash into Sol III to devastate humanity, and he merely had to get the thruster built and active.
Something that no human (or Zentradi that had gone native for that matter) wished to let happen. Anaheim Electronics had the Jesta units launched as part of the assault. The supposedly Jegan upgraded units were really stripped down Gundams designed to deal with normal pilots while Unicorn Gundam dealt with new types especially. Coordinators didn't set off the device designed to detect new types, but also were a high priority target for the new Gundam.
The Jestas had no issues hunting down Glorft warmechs. There also was some pride on the line as various other companies were working to make their own mobile suit designs. And also the in-house government SNRI working on a smaller yet still as deadly Gundam design.
Then the Macbeth launched its mecha to fight the Glorft. Harry had a surreal moment when he realized he was in a mobile suit on the moon fighting aliens from the future. And this insanity had better odds of survival than his fight in the Chamber of Secrets.
This time he had at least some bloody idea what he was doing and actually had people that were watching his six.
Harry shook his head and fired the mega beam launcher he'd been given for this sortie as heavy fire power was considered a must for fighting the Glorft. Lt. Mu La Flaga's Rezel Commander Type also had one of those.
"Oh yeah!" Goat called out as Darleen 2 was working like a dream. And not falling apart simply due to him moving the limbs. The heat hawk that was Darleen's main melee weapon was cutting through Glorft armor like a hot knife through butter.
Still the made from mobile suit parts made mech was still smaller than the Glorft mecha so Goat had to be careful to avoid being stepped on.
Mari looked a bit annoyed seeing the Eva-06 in action while she was stuck in a variable fighter. It didn't help even Lowle Gruele thought her Evangelion had looked really weird. A man who had as an idea on the drawing board already a power lifter for a mobile suit sized unit.
Lowle had commented the wheels made no sense as with legs like the Sandhoge it could at least allow Eva-05 to fight on the outer wall of the space colonies.
Mari shook herself from those thoughts and fired her VF-25 Messiah's beam machine guns at the Glorft mechs. She then grinned and shot one of them in the head with her gatling gun pod.
"Need a bigger mech," Mari admitted as she tried to cut up a Glorft mech with her Messiah's assault knife and finding it wasn't easy doing that to a mech that was four to five times bigger than her variable fighter.
She was hoping for an old Gundam or something as those were a bit bigger, and a sword probably would work much better than the knife.
Mu wondered where NERV kept finding people to pilot their Evangelions that on some level felt wrong to him. He then blasted a Glorft warbot.
Coop launched himself into the fight against the Glorft with his usual gusto.
"Fascinating the Moon has more mass than in my time," Kiva mused.
"You sure none of this happened?" Jamie asked. "Because Coop trashing the Moon kind of would fit that."
"I really hope not," Kiva replied. "On this happening in my past. Coop trashing the Moon is no surprise."
Coop did not dispute that as he ripped a four legged Glorft mech apart. Given the amount of destruction he caused wrecking the Moon wouldn't surprise him.
"Huh," Kiva said as she'd updated her computer's files on this era's mobile suits with the help of Ryusei Date of the SRX team. "Looks like even ZAFT is helping deal with the Glorft."
Harry then got a surprise as a team of GINNs and their commander in a CGUE gave him cover fire. It seemed even the PLANTS Council considered the Moon slammed into the Earth to be a bad thing.
One of the GINNs even waved at Harry's Rezel.
Athrun Zala wondered why Rusty waved at the Natural in the middle of a fight. Even if it was with clearly overrated alien invaders.
Athrun then blinked when he saw Venus A fire missiles from its upper torso at the Glorft.
"And here I thought that was just joke people told," he muttered.
He then saw another female shaped unit fire boob missiles. The Minerva X gracefully avoided the various bullets, missiles, and energy fire of the Glorft mecha.
That the Mazinkaiser SKL was on the battlefield and firing its guns and leaving a path of destruction was almost normal in comparison to very womanly looking mecha firing missiles from their breasts.
Nu Gundam, a mass produced Nu Gundam, Zeta Gundam, and Double Zeta Gundam flew past the Red Jacket unit. Given how infamous those units were and that they clearly were going for the Glorft thruster one could almost pity the Glorft.
Gorrath had enough and entered the fray himself. And was blasted by the Grungust Type 0's chest cannon.
"I'll take your jorblocks!" the Warmaster called out.
"I am Sanger Zonvolt. The Sword that Pierces Evil!" the badass pilot called out. "And better than you have tried!"
"So how you like my friends?" Coop taunted as he slammed Gorrath's mech with a flying elbow drop.
"They can all die like you!"
Gorrath then had to dodge the massive blade that was the Grungust Type 0 was armed with. And then a Jet Magnum punch from a green Gespenst slammed into it. The green personal trooper was much smaller than the warbot, but it still damaged where it hit.
"It doesn't matter how many warbots you attack me with," Warmaster Gorrath growled. "I'll still devastate your planet!"
"Oh really?" Ryoma Nagare called out defiantly. "Let's see how your thruster works after I trash it!"
Gorrath wondered that that Earther was even more insane than the one kept fighting. Sanger cutting off one of his mech's arms brought him back to the fight at hand.
Kiva blinked as a monitor had "shout now!" on it. Coop did as instructed and shouted as he slammed into Gorrath's mech with a devastating kick.
Cybuster then fired the bit or funnel like weapon and Masaki's familiars blasted the Warmaster's mech.
"Crush them all!" Gorrath demanded on a communication channels.
"You think you are hell?" Ken Kaido called out. "You might be something in the future in this time…"
"We are hell!" Ken and Ryu called out.
And with that declaration Mazinkaiser SKL charged at Gorrath's warmech and drove its sword into it. Gorrath lost any attention on what was going on at that and slipped completely into the fog of war and battle.
Major Kitamura smiled in his Gespenst as that was the plan to keep the Warmaster busy.
"Getter Beam!" Ryoma yelled as Getter-1 fired.
Double Zeta Gundam also fired its most powerful weapon as well at the thruster. The two massive attacks rocked the thruster and left holes in it big enough for a person to walk through. Harry and Mu added to the damage with their mega beam launchers.
Amuro and Sayla unloaded on the thruster with their funnels and hyper bazookas. Coop then unleashed in a massive barrage of missiles, bullets, and energy weapon fire.
"NOOOOOOOO!" Gorrath yelled as there was a massive explosion.
"Still want to start shit with us?" Ryoma remarked with a psychotic grin on his face. "I want to see if your skull is more durable than that of a dinosaur's!"
"Enjoy surviving for now Earthers," Gorrath growled as he took off for space.
"And we'll kick your butt again next time," Coop called out.
Harry wondered if Hermione would believe him if he told her about being a part of this.
V-V-V
If someone asked Harry where his friend Hermione Granger lived he never would have guessed correctly. As Cockermouth was not exactly a big place, or exactly well known. It had a lot of history, and a need for dentists like any other village or city would, but Harry would have figured she lived somewhere bigger and better known.
Still for Hermione Granger it was where she grew up and where home was. She was in her room looking over the Muggle Studies book and already looking forward to it the same way an anthropologist would look forward to studying a tribe that still used stone knives and whatever the local version of bearskin rugs were.
It left her wondering who she'd send a thesis paper to. There had to be someone in the know on magic that would find a paper on the backwater nature of the wizarding world interesting.
Hermione got driven from her thoughts as there was a knock on the door.
Seeing as no one was getting the door and saw what looked like a police officer at the door.
Hermione opened the door. "Can I help you?"
"Hermione Granger I am Auror Tonks and I need you to help me with something…"

Chapter Notes.
Gendo Ikari is from Neon Genesis Evangelion and yes he and SEELE are completely out of their minds with their plans.
Jaburo is from the original Gundam series. It literally is an entire city under the Amazon rainforest. It can literally produce thousands of mass produced mobile suits a day.
The Mimetic Beasts are from Godannar and let's just say the threat isn't minor as Gendo believes it to be.
Zentradi are from the various Macross Series.
Fire Bomber is a band that the main character of Macross Seven is the lead singer and guitarist.
ZAFT is the military force of the coordinator colonies PLANTs. Being able to support multiple generations of Coordinators (ie genetic augments) is an issue in Gundam Seed, but resolved in the follow up series Gundam Seed Astray...or they just never talk about that plot point.
The Spidercrabs are from Tekkaman Blade. Yeah they kind of were meant to fight humans without mass produced mechs so they aren't doing as well as in the original anime. The other troops of the aliens making them will be another story entirely.
Zeon and the various splinter factions of them is from Mobile Suit Gundam and various other Universal Century animes and mangas. The current name for the Zeon forces is Sleeves.
Those six Gundams is from Gundam Wing. Oh the group backing the those Gundams isn't done yet.
Yes Gundam Wing did blow up a space colony by itself.
The Zanscare Empire is from Victory Gundam. Publically it seems to be run by a queen and noble women. It actually is run by a man who is also the president of the Jupiter colonies. Though Gendo is being rash to discount the amount of damage the Zanscare Empire can do.
The Dinosaur Empire is from Getter Robo. Yes they are dinosaurs that have come up from deep under the Earth to retake the planet for themselves. They really don't like getter rays.
Doctor Hell is the major foe of Mazinger Z. A mad scientist who has done some twisted surgeries and also modified ancient giant robots for his own purposes.
The purple haired man is Major Gilliam Yeager and he will be important later.
Professors Gou and Hamaguchi are from Voltes V.
Professors Gou and Mamaguchi are from Voltes V.
Coop is from Megas XLR. He is a chaotic force with a super robot. He loves wrestling, cars, giant monster movies, and video games.
Ken Kaido is from Mazinkaiser SKL. He's a hotblooded and crazy swordsman, and one of the two pilots of Mazinkaiser SKL. He uses close quarters combat and a sword.
Ryo Magami is from Mazinkaiser SKL. He is the other pilot of Mazinkaiser SKL and is far more stoic. Well most of the time unless you hit the wrong buttons. He uses guns.
Jun Huno is from Great Mazinger and is the pilot of Venus A.
Amuro Ray is the original Gundam pilot and from Mobile Suit Gundam. A new type and one of the last men anyone would want to fight. He is nicknamed the White Devil.
Sanger Zonvolt is the Sword that Pierces Evil and an expert mech pilot. He pilots a super robot and uses a really massive sword. He also is rather insightful and a warrior.
Kusuha Mizuha is a nurse, mech pilot and health nut created for the Super Robot Wars games. She was childhood friends with Ryusei Date and his Bullet's girlfriend. Her health drinks are infamous for being really bad and able to take down people. There's also a good reason she doesn't like Bob.
Excellen is a cheery and flirty woman, and Sirius has a good reason to feel something very off with her. She is a part of the ATX team and an extremely skilled sniper.
Brooklyn "Bullet" Luckfield is also a member of the ATX team and aforementioned Kusuha's boyfriend.
Bob is the name I picked for the pug that Excellen has. We see in the end credits beach scenes in the Super Robot Wars Inspectors anime series. In which the dog goes and takes the bikini top off one woman, and the bikini bottom off of Kusuha. So yeah there's a good reason Kusuha does not like Bob.
Burning PT is a mech combat simulator tournament. It is quite popular and was where Ryusei Date was recruited from.
Major Kai Kitamura is 35 years old, happily married and has a daughter. Don't call him old or he'll show you why that's a bad idea. He can pull off some amazing things with his green Gespenst and yes he is the one who later in the chapter punched Gorrath's mech.
Sayla Mass is a new type and while not quite as infamously known to be a badass as her brother Char, she is still not someone to take lightly.
Preventer Wind is from Gundam Wing. He's the Char of that series, and his multiple names were mentioned in chapter 1.
Warmaster Gorrath is from Megas XLR. He is the leader of at least the Glorft ship that went into the past and has clashed several times with Coop. And yes using a giant thruster to slam the Moon into the Earth is his plan in "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter is Coop".
Kaworu/Tarbris is from Neon Genesis Evangelion. In the Rebuild version he did have Evangelion 06 and both he and his Eva were on the moon. So yeah natural reason to show up for this fight. He's also the 17th Angel and it is not a good thing he has an Evangelion. He likely had would have as much an idea how the Protoculture of Macross fit with the birth of human in Eva as anyone else.
Rahna Byraban works with Mao Industries and is a mech pilot. She also extremely into yoga and teaching it to others. And teaching moves clearly above the skill level of the novices she gets.
Mari Illustrious Makinami is from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Her now wrecked Eva had four insect-like legs with wheels on them as how it got around. It really is freaky looking even by Evangelion standards. Mari has the perky attitude of Excellen and the insanity of Ryoma Nagare. She comes off as sweet, but like all NERV pilots is not right in the head.
Jorblocks is the alien slang way of letting them say testicles in Megas XLR. Used by the Glorft, and also seen used by aliens in the present day as well.
Athrun Zala is a coordinator and son of the lead warhawk on the PLANTS council. He will be important later.
Ryoma Nagare is pilot of Getter-1 and insane martial arts killing machine. Not a man anyone should wish to fight.
