The Earth looked peaceful from Londenion. Like it wasn't full of people with giant robots, giant monsters, and more ready to fight. Like humanity actually was able to get along as was as united as the United Earth calendar suggested.
Harry Potter looked around the room that served as his bedroom. It felt way more like home to him than even Hogwarts had. Which said so much about how disillusioned he was getting with the supposed greatest school of magic as that place once felt like home to him. He then shook his head from those thoughts as it was about time for his talk with Hermione over the internet to begin.
And it started off with a bang as Hermione was not going to pull any punches for this internet call. Not that Harry was expecting her to do anything else.
"Harry James Potter do you have any idea how much you are worrying me?" Hermione snapped with an extremely worried expression. "I know you have a saving people thing but don't need to hang out with people that the Chamber of Secrets would be considered a slow morning!"
Harry chuckled softly. "Nice to see you too Hermione."
Hermione looked very frazzled. "And there is what you have said about Dumbledore…"
"I kind of have lost any respect for most authority figures," Harry admitted. "Major Zonvolt, Major Kitamura,Captain Noa,and Admiral Misumaru are among the few to still have it. Then again they earned it."
"Harry Major Zonvolt can make the most outlandish speeches sound impressive and likely would be the one to drive a giant sword into a giant snake that can kill people by looking at them," Hermione noted.
"Chesto!" Harry called out with a cheeky grin. Hermione just rolled her eyes at his saying the Sword that Pierces Evil's more infamous phrase.
"Just as long as you don't copy those insane Getter pilots," Hermione muttered as two of them utterly terrified her. Especially Hayato Jin given his background and brutality.
"Musashi is a nice guy," Harry commented. "The other two...yeah they might be worse than you think. Far worse."
Hermione barely let the Dumbledore thing drop as she hoped for cooler heads to prevail on that. Also to keep Harry from getting the idea to invite anyone like Ryoma Nagare or Hayato Jin to the meeting Harry was going to have with Professor Dumbledore. She didn't want their headmaster to be killed, and definitely not killed in an extremely gory and savage way.
"Also Amuro Ray is an interesting guy," Harry stated. "He was the main designer on Nu Gundam. And closest Coop and Lowe got to it is to help improve a mass produced Nu Gundam that in turn Amuro used some of those sanier improvements on Nu Gundam."
"Harry those two are insane," Hermione remarked recalling what she knew of Harold "Coop" Cooplawski and Lowe Gruele. "Completely and utterly insane."
"Yep," Harry agreed. "Fun though. They also upgraded my Rezel. Mega beam sabers, more powerful engine and more."
"And I am sure they would do the same for me," Hermione half joked.
"Pretty much," Harry nodded. "They love finding out how mechs work and improve them. Plus I'm sure they'd have something for you to pilot if there wasn't a Rezel that could be used."
"Harry those are expensive weapons of war and not toys," Hermione gasped in shock at that idea. "Or cars that need fixed up for fun."
"Yet people seem to want to give teenagers giant robots to pilot," Harry countered with an amused expression.
"Harry all of those people are completely insane," Hermione groused.
"Pretty much," Harry said with a nod.
"Harry my parents would like to talk to you," Hermione then informed Harry.
"I got no problem with that," Harry commented.
Edward and Danielle took that as the right moment to walk into the view of the camera.
"Hello," Danielle said kindly. "This is much better than a bookstore with a prima donna fraud and pair of grown men fist fighting each other."
"Yeah that was a crazy day," Harry admitted. And they didn't even know about the diary slipped into Ginny Weasley's possession and what that lead to. That made the day even more insane to Harry.
"And Harry we noticed something was wrong even back then," Edward stated. "Your worn and oversized clothes, but Hermione seemed to think your headmaster being Lord of the Light meant his word on where you stayed went. Or that any of his other titles meant anything on what you do over the summer or where you go."
"We rather you were with us instead of with those Major Zonvolt publically demolished their mask of respectability," Danielle said softly.
"I…" Harry said as he was touched someone actually cared.
"Now is there anything Hermione has not told us about her time at Hogwarts?" Ed asked sharply. Harry's laughing nervously didn't help their nerves. Nor that Hermione looked embarrassed and at her keyboard.
"I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of things that are my fault," Harry said quickly.
"Explain," Danielle stated in a sharp tone that Harry was sure even Mrs. Weasley would be impressed by.
"The teachers are in all honesty unable to do much beyond teach," Harry sighed. "We had to help get a baby dragon out of Hogwarts, Hermione had to save me from my broom cursed by a teacher, and she stood by my side when I was found out to have the dark ability to talk to snakes."
"Snakes don't have ears," Edward noted. "So how can that work?"
Harry shrugged. "I get that from nearly everyone who isn't a magical I tell that."
"Anything else?" Danielle asked in a motherly tone.
"She got petrified due to a giant snake and that was getting off easy," Harry sighed. "Given if she looked directly at it she'd be dead. Instead she was more or less a statue for some time."
Neither parent looked happy. Hermione looked to be sweating bullets as she didn't want her parents ever finding out about that. They'd pull her from Hogwarts in an instant and she knew it.
"Hermione if it wasn't for the fact Londo Bell would crush anything that hurt Harry and we'd withdraw you from Hogwarts and go someone actually sane to learn magic and more," Edward stated. "And ask your friends Harry and Ron to do the same."
The pair of Observers knew how reacted Londo Bell when someone hurt one of their own. It usually took a microscope to find the pieces. In this case Edward and Danielle were completely fine with that.
Harry looked surprised at adults actually having some semblance of sanity. And not dismissing anything he sound out of hand. True he had been finding more and more of them, but it still was a shock to him when it happened.
"So what classes are you taking?" Danielle inquired to change the subject. "Hermione somehow is going to try to take them all and we aren't sure how that will work."
"I've been thinking about," Harry admitted. "Originally I was going to take the same classes as our friend Ron, but I've changed my mind."
"That Ron kind sounds like someone not to follow in academics," Edward commented. Hermione got the hidden insults in that statement.
"It's a long story," Harry sighed. "Basically my uncle and aunt didn't want me to beat their son in grades and he was no genius by any means."
"Lovely," Danielle remarked with her tone swimming in sarcasm. "Yet another reason I am glad those Dursleys are dead."
"So I've been thinking about Ancient Runes or Arithmancy and Care," Harry told them to change the subject back. "I got a feeling Hagrid had a hand in the book for Care given that's the sort of thing he'd go for."
"Harry is anything in your life sane or rational?" Edward asked as he rubbed his forehead.
"Not really," Harry replied. "The working with Londo Bell thing is the first time I have had adults that aren't idiots or hate for me for some reason backing me up."
"Ah your Potions Professor," Danielle nearly growled. "Having the emotional maturity of the students is not a plus."
"Finally someone that agrees with me on that," Harry said with a slight smile. "Of course I get it worse because he used to be friends with my mother before a falling out...and my father and his friends had a prank war with him that lasted for most of their time at Hogwarts."
"So the teachers unable to do any right goes back decades," Edward mused. "I really do hope they merely claim to be the best school of magic as I don't want to see the others if it is true.."
Hermione looked mortified. Harry considered a shame that he couldn't introduce Sirius to Hermione's parents. Harry then sighed as he might as well explain that mess now. This wasn't quite as in person as he planned, but this might work out even better as he won't need a bodyguard after telling Hermione. Well at least not at this meeting with her. At later ones he might need one or two, but that was something to worry about another time.
"Hermione you probably won't believe this but it turns out I have a godfather," Harry stated. "He got thrown into a wizarding hellhole of a prison for crimes he didn't commit and just managed to get free of the place earlier this summer."
"Harry that would make him Sirius Black!" Hermione gasped as that was the only person it could possibly be.
Harry nodded. "Yeah that's him. He's an animagus so that's how he managed to stay with me for awhile. He's now claimed political asylum in Riksent."
"But…"Hermione started saying.
"If this is everyone knows he betrayed my parents stop there," Harry interjected forcefully. "He didn't and won't believe where the guy who did has been living."
Edward and Danielle tried to process what was going on. It seemed even Harry having any legal guardians got strange as well. Somehow it figured it was that way to them. If Harry had legal guardians able to stand up to the other wizards and witches then it won't be as fun or have as many barriers put in his way.
"Harry is there anything else you need to tell us?" Danielle inquired.
"Well there was a prophecy involving me and that dark lord people give bad nicknames," Harry replied. "The princess of Riksent told me to ignore it. It isn't that hard given Riddle got beaten up by Londo Bell."
"Yes we read about that in your letters," Edward mused. "Riddle looks much less scary to be completely honest. And Dumbledore much less effective."
"But Dad Dumbledore is…" Hermione said before her parents just looked at her.
"He is just a man dear," Danielle commented sharply. "Who couldn't keep an innocent man out of being taken away to a human rights nightmare by an utter fool with delusions of power."
That was harsh but very true. Hermione could see Harry and her parents had a lot of issues with how Hogwarts was run and the decisions the staff had made. And she had to admit they had legitimate reasons to be that way.
Hermione was finding it hard even with her questioning authority to take in it being completely thought useless in any case. It just felt wrong to her and she really didn't like it at all. Especially when her parents were part of the group doing that.
"So find out all the books about you are complete crap?" Edward asked Harry. He'd read them before and they sure didn't mesh with the boy he saw last year. At best they were fiction, but somehow thought to be fact. Inwardly he was vaguely amused the kid had topped all that rubbish with Londo Bell.
Harry nodded. "Of course things had kept coming up until this summer for me to read all those books and find out for myself. Thanks for letting me read them Hermione."
"I don't know why you didn't read through them years ago," Hermione admitted.
"We were kind of busy," Harry shrugged. "It seemed like there never was a good time before this summer for me relax with some books."
"We intended to discuss things with you last summer," Danielle informed him. "As it was clear that there was a lot that needed to be done."
The pair of Observers didn't have to fake anything as this was all completely true. They also felt working with Harry was the best way to get even information on the subculture their daughter was in. Though likely it'd require cutting through the locals believing Harry should already know these things like everyone else despite he had no way of learning those things beforehand.
To say the Observers were unhappy to find out there was some hidden society of inbred idiots around was like saying water was wet. It complicated the plans to truly unite the Earth, space colonies, and other human holdings. The sort of intellectual and emotional maturity Aeolia Schenberg wanted humanity to gain definitely was lacking in the British Wizarding World. Though they weren't sure if it was more or less than the real world lacked.
Hermione hadn't been let in on being an Observer and the pair intended to wait and see if she would take it up. They weren't sure if she wanted to stay with that annoying backwater subculture instead of the real world.
Danielle mentally noted to push for Hermione to not get behind in her studies of things she'd need outside that inward subculture. She didn't want her daughter trapped in a subculture that just because her parents couldn't do magic meant to a very vocal group of rich inbred brats she was less than dirt to them.
She'd be even more angry to find out how little was done to the mastermind of what nearly got her daughter killed. To the point of wanting Gundams used to demolish the Malfoy family and salt the ground of where their home once was.
"Glad someone wanted to do that," Harry admitted. "Given a lot of people didn't want to discuss things with me. Like that incident I nearly got killed by my broom being cursed in front of everyone."
"Again glad you have Londo Bell in your corner," Edward said after a moment.
'Yes as it seems requiring adult wizards and witches to do their jobs requires someone apply pressure to them,' Danielle nearly growled.
"Unless they want to be seen doing something," Harry noted.
"And I am sure they didn't do anything to even pay lip service to having made a horrible mistake," Edward stated in disgust. "And I'm sure something equally pointless is being prepared for 'dealing with' Sirius Black if what you said is true."
"I won't be surprised," Harry sighed. "I beat the Weasleys would want me to avoid confronting him, but that's the most rational thing I'd expect anyone to do."
"Be careful Harry," Danielle said softly. "And try to keep everyone you can safe."
"I'll do my best," Harry assured her.
Then alarms sounded.
"Duty calls," Harry remarked.
"Just be careful," Hermione called out to Harry before he turned off his computer.
"I wonder what it is this time," Harry muttered as he rushed off.
V-V-V
The extremely bitter cyborg named Gil Berg was starting to think maybe attacking the Earth was not the best idea he ever had as his mech got shot with a massive and powerful gun. A massive hole through the mech was by that gun.
And there was also the fact that the giant red robot was throwing around radiation he wasn't even sure what it was. In fact he wasn't even sure if Bunker would have any idea what it was to be honest.
Gil then tried to crush the giant robot with the giant gun, but seemed to already be moving out of the way as he tried to attack.
"Are all Earthers such a pain to deal with?" Gil growled. He had no idea how many other aliens Londo Bell had beaten.
Gil intended to have that Miya Alice come home to a devastated city at the very least, but he also wanted his mech intact to crush her and the others. He didn't intend to be target practice for the local mecha.
Another red mech sliced into his mech with a massive energy saber. It then fired grenades into the hole the white mech had made.
A blue with flames mech with the strangest head then landed on the larger mech unit he had his Dangaioh sized one inside and slammed it into the ground. It then unloaded on Gil Berg's mecha with an insane barrage of missiles.
"I swear I've seen that mech somewhere before," Gil Berg muttered. He just wasn't sure where exactly.
The first red mech split apart and reformed into a mostly white mech with a giant drill and shoved that drill into the giant mech. Sparks flew and the drill had no problem going through the Bunker made mech.
"How many mechs does this planet have?" Gil groused. The Bunker likely was going to need to destroy this backwater planet. He hated this place nearly as much as he did Miya Alice for taking what should have been his from the start.
The white mech from before fired something from the shoulders and sent Gil and his two mechs flying again.
Gil was then surprised to see the five lions that the Galra Empire hated were on the Earth. To say Bunker and the Galra Empire hated each other was like saying Neptune was cold.
The five lions then merged into one robot.
"They really can do that," Gil Berg muttered in shock. "I thought that was just something someone had made up."
Needless to say Miya Alice was surprised when she returned to Earth to the giant Bunker mech to be held at bay. More memories came back to her.
"...The Zentradi have been there?!" Roll gasped as the foursome once more got the memories of Miya. The Earth was a very busy place when it came to giant robots.
"And the planet is not dead?" Pai Thunder said in surprise.
"Somehow," Miya admitted as a lot of insane things had happened on Earth.
"Wait that one mech with a...car...for a head ruined a fixed giant robot fighting business," Pai Thunder gasped. "It was from Earth?!"
Lamba just stared at the fact that one of Bunker's mecha was on the defensive.
Somewhere deep in Roll had a twinge of satisfaction at seeing Bunker getting their butt kicked hard. And he honestly had no idea why that was. Or he really wanted to know why given what he found out about Pai Thunder not that long ago.
On his ship Doctor Tarsan felt lucky he was able to get Miya when he visited this world without this sort of response. His ship likely won't survive the beating. He also was glad that whoever piloted the blue with flames mech was not a psychic. There was a feeling whoever piloted that might blow up planets if he was.
Even with his mech hammered Gil Berg opened fire on the Dangaioh fighters. He was going to get his revenge even if it was the last thing he did!
"Well pretty sure they're friendly if they're being shot at by that other mech," Ryoma commented. "Or at least friendlier."
"Can you hear us?" Miya then said trying to get into their communication lines.
"We hear you," Mu replied.
"Oh good," Miya said kindly.
"So what is this about?" Kiva inquired.
"Probably best to discuss this after the fight," Pai Thunder admitted. "It is kind of long."
The now throw off her ties daughter of the leader of Bunker also wondered if after this was over she could get a haircut. She wanted to cut her ties with her old life.
"Plus beat this completely loser up," Ryoma remarked as he wasn't impressed at all.
"Doubt he came to Earth for anything beyond making a mess of things," Harry noted.
"Cross fight!' Miya yelled.
The four fighters merged into one robot.
Gil Berg exited the giant mech with his Dangaioh sized one. The larger one was too damaged for his tastes anyway. That his smaller mech looked like a red and black version of Dangaioh was something everyone could see.
The merged mech then seemed unable to move.
"That isn't good," Amuro muttered as he fired on the fast moving red and black mech.
To Gil Berg's surprise the white mech was able to keep up with his extremely fast unit. The one eyed pirate was enraged he was not able to take advantage of his foe being unable to fight back.
Then suddenly Dangaioh moved as Roll figured out he was the one controlling its movements in this form and punched Gil's mech in the face. The metal of the face of Gil Berg's robot groaned from the force of the blow.
Gil Berg nearly growled in rage as once more things were not going his way. He blamed Miya once more for causing this all to happen.
"Dangai-Beam! " Roll yelled and Dangaioh fired off an energy burst.
The attack sent the Dangaioh sized mech Gil was using flying and into the ground.
"My other unit wasn't so wrecked that won't have happened," Gil growled and brought out the blades for his mech.
Gil then found himself fighting Amuro and Sayla. Sayla mused that her MP Nu Gundam needed an armor and weapon add on upgrade like Nu Gundam had gotten.
"Those two are fast," Gil growled as the pair of newtypes worked as one to fight the space pirate.
Gil tried using the swords of his mech and beam sabers easily cut right through them. Gil then was introduced to funnels and his mech battered. Harry lended a hand with his mega beam launcher.
"Never leave home without it," Harry commented.
"Boost Knuckle!" Roll yelled and fired off the fists of Dangaioh.
However this didn't work as well as the previous attack as in the fists got knocked to the ground. Gil Berg rushed forward to cut into Dangaioh but Shin Getter 2 moved even faster and savagely tore up one of the arms of his mech with the massive drill.
This gave Dangaioh time to get back the fist and put it back into place.
"New idea," Roll stated. "Psychic Sword."
The blade appeared in the hands of Dangaioh and Roll took off the head of Gil Berg's mech in one slice. The severed head hit the ground with a loud thud.
"Nice," Coop grinned as that was the sort of sword he'd want for Megas.
Gil focused on the other sensors to deal with that setback.
"Psychic Wave!" Roll called out and with mental power picked up Gil Berg's mech. It hung in the air unable to move.
The symbol of Lamba's people appeared on the open hand of Dangaioh and the mech made the same motion Darth Vader would make to crush someone's windpipe. The black and red mech was crushed by the focused psionic power of all four pilots of Dangaioh.
The Dangaioh crew could see Gil Berg in the wrecked mech and held out a hand to get him out of there.
The next thing they knew a massive energy blast struck the crushed mech causing it to explode. Gul Berg's last thought was at least some on Earth weren't as weak as Miya Alice.
"Who did that?" Miya gasped as she got to see Wing Zero.
"He's still useful to Bunker," Heero Yui stated given what he'd learned via the Zero System.
"Bunker can bring back the dead?!" Roll gasped.
"I guess they have to given I think he's dead," Ryoma noted. "Unless they can rebuild him faster, better, and stronger from whatever bits and pieces are left."
"If there any bits and pieces left after that," Sayla noted looking to see if there were any parts left bigger than the hand of her Gundam. There didn't appear to be any.
"Also I hope you people aren't expecting to go anywhere soon," Hayato remarked to Dangaioh.
"Well we intended to say goodbye to Miya as this is her home planet and not ours," Roll admitted.
"I'd never leave you," Miya stated passionately.
"You really think we'll let you all leave without answering what just happened?" Amuro asked sharply.
"Well when the guy with a giant gun puts it that way…" Roll said with a nervous laugh.
With Doctor Tarsen blinking seeing a Supervision Army Gunboat coming in with various other heavy armed spaceships to keep his ship from leaving. They definitely would make leaving in one piece a great deal more difficult.
"I have a feeling we aren't going anywhere for awhile," the arms maker said in surprise as he didn't recall any mention of something like this on Earth. He then figured maybe he should have done a closer look than he had before coming to this out of the way planet the first time.
V-V-V
Thomas Krieger as he referred to himself was enjoying his chance to get a wand. It was amazing what a wandless hair color change charm, sunglasses and a ballcap could do to change someone's appearance.
He was glad his wandless magic ability was working perfectly fine. It gave him an extra weapon in case he needed one, and also if someone did snap whatever wand he was going to get he'd be able to made do without it. The complete shock of that would also buy him time to use his wandless magic to hurt or kill whoever was attacking him.
Thomas then took in the magical feel of the city of New Orleans. Even muggles could feel a type of magic in the Big Easy. Which was why he picked this city as the place to go get his wand. That and he wanted to avoid anywhere Harry Potter would likely show up or got his wand. He also wanted to eat some of the local food as he wanted something more interesting than the usual chow for Carbon Humans Liberian Works served.
Full Frontal also was using this trip as a way to gather Zeonic allies still on Earth. Those that even the Zentradi showing up in the Solar System didn't stop their hatred of Leaguies as they termed the Terran League. Or the fact the Zeon, Terran League, PLANTS, and others worked together to fight the Zentradi and keep them from shooting the Earth.
Thomas nearly laughed thinking how close to destruction the Earth was and the British Wizarding subculture had no idea at all about that. Well at least those without any ties or keeping up with the muggle world.
There also was the fact as what happened to the Principality of Zeon after the "Space War" as the Romefeller Foundation worked to tighten their grasp on the space colones. And that caused many to join the "Megaroad" fleet or the other Macross colony fleets and just leave the Solar System entirely.
And once more the purebloods running the UK wizarding world subculture didn't know about that or take advantage of moving to another planet away from those they loathed. Their own fault for not keeping up with technology and current events.
'Or the fact with my mind working fully I honestly wonder what I was thinking then,' Thomas mused. 'Running scared on just a part of a prophecy, and forgetting what happened to Oedipus as a good reason to just ignore those things.'
Still Thomas won't mind having the chance to crush the boy that it seemed had defeated his embarrassing original self and the diary. Though it would be more to crush Londo Bell as they were more of a threat than just one boy to his plans.
There were also the fact that Londo Bell definitely would be an issue to the Neo Zeonic movement's plans.
'And I'm sure others will get in the way like the Zanscare Empire or PLANTS,' Thomas thought to himself. 'They have their own agendas and they don't mess with mine or Neo Zeon's.'
That he was working to be a power behind the throne of Full Frontal didn't bother Thomas. It gave him time to plot and learn about the strengths and weaknesses of all around him. Given he'd ended up in a scar and his soul splitting on its own it seemed showed that going in half cocked was a terrible idea.
He needed to be better prepared and with more tools than just magic to use. He wasn't going to make the same mistake again.
He also wondered if Dumbledore had any idea what was really going on. Mostly as he'd probably be really annoying if he helped Londo Bell or figured out Harry could create more copies of Tom Riddle using combat data.
Thomas then realized he didn't want any more copies of himself around as he knew they'd never get along. That likely would destroy any of his plans as the power struggle would be intense. Even more so if they tried making an army of him like that Lily Thevally.
That he still had his skill of legilmency was something Thomas was glad to have. It sure made learning things even most members of the Liberian Works didn't know easy. And made him ponder trying to recruit some of those Lilies later. The sheer number of them made Thomas hope he could get at least one to follow him.
'But first things first,' Thomas thought to himself as he used the smartphone he had been given to bring up a map of the Big Easy. 'Where do I want to go for lunch?'
He also hoped the wand he'd get would be as good as a Gregorovitch or Ollivander one. It won't be his old Yew and phoenix feather one, but this also wasn't the same body that used that wand in the first place. Plus he wasn't sure exactly if he counted spiritually as Tom Riddle aka Lord Voldemort to his old wand either.
Plus that surviving wraith that was the a piece of himself that let himself go would want it and Thomas rather not deal with that guy.
Thomas then shook his head and went back to thinking about if he wanted Cajun cooking or something else for lunch. His has been other self could wait until much later.
V-V-V
Harry was surprised to find out how well mannered he was compared to other teenage pilots that Captain Noa had to work with. Judau Ashta came to mind as one of the most interesting ones. Harry hadn't had much chance to talk to Judau before but now found he had a chance to do that as the whole mess from earlier with aliens and an abducted human was being sorted out.
No one was quite sure what they were going to do with them or the alien that had experimented on them. Especially given it seemed the alien professor had helped them escape and who he was working freelance for wanted him dead now.
Still the downtime gave Harry a chance to meet Judau and learn some interesting things. And also eat lunch in the Macbeth mess hall.
"Your first meeting with Captain Noa involved you kicking him in the face?!" Harry said surprised at how Judau had met the skipper of the ship.
Judau laughed nervously. "My friends and I made horrible first impressions with a lot of people."
"And I thought you just bounced the Zeta Gundam around the first time you piloted it," Harry commented.
"I did somewhat better than that," Judau remarked quickly. "Not exactly much but man Kamile has Zeta Gundam customized for him."
"And yet a lot of people have tried piloting it," Harry noted with amusement.
"The design of the cockpit of the Rezel was to be as not like the Zeta's as can be," Judau stated.
"Interesting," Harry said as he didn't know that.
"So you're a wizard or something?" Judau said as pretty much everyone in Londo Bell knew and really didn't care given how much weirdness they dealt with.
"Yeah…" Harry replied sheepishly. "It isn't as fun you'd think."
"Well after that funeral I don't think anyone really thinks your life was fun," Judau mused. "I think I had more fun scavenging stuff. I at least had friends...even if some of them would have gotten kicked out an airlock if they did even half the stuff they did to the Getter team."
That was putting it lightly on how little the Getter team took things like that. Even Musashi might have killed some of Judau's friends over their actions before figuring out they left the best place to be.
It was a good thing Beecha Oleg was part of the Hiryu Custom piloting the Hyaku Shiki and really didn't interact with the Getter team. Or Captain Linjin of the Shirogane after an..incident involving Beecha and his friend Mondo Agake.
Judau was just glad his friends had managed to grow up since then. Even now they were kind of embarrassed about their childishness. Beecha now was trying to learn what was needed to be a starship captain.
It amused Judau for Beecha to admit even learning and not being one he'd probably have not been anywhere near being a starship captain he had to admit he'd have not been able to put up with a bunch of kids being massive pains in the butt like they were to Captain Noa. He'd actually probably snap after a week.
"I got told I was a wizard but not I was a celebrity," Harry groused. "Don't blame Hagrid as he's a great guy but details sometimes don't come to him."
"You have a weird life...and I'm saying that," Judau commented as his life wasn't normal by any stretch of the imagination.
Harry shrugged. He was used to that now.
"What!?' Koji Tetsuya said hearing all this. He still was recovering from the injuries he had taken fighting a Memetic Beast and the G-Gunner still being required.
"Welcome to Londo Bell we're crazy," Judau remarked to Koji Tetsuya. "And magic is considered just something that exists."
"And I thought Dannar Base things got crazy," Koji muttered.
Harry took that as this guy talking it well. Then again Londo Bell was known to have visited a magical world via a video game Coop had gotten. There also was the fact that the La Gias mecha involved magical spirits was also well known. Not always believed but it was something that had become public knowledge.
Harry then mused the Jama Kingdom also used magic and that was known.
"Just don't ask me to do magic shows," Harry commented "They won't understand stage magic where I went to school."
"Really?" Judau asked in surprise.
"Yeah slight of hand is not part of the curriculum," Harry replied.
"Neither is explaining your tricks of the trade," Judau noted.
That got a chuckle from Harry.
"Oh one of my professors certainly doesn't like teaching," Harry stated. "And that's just in general."
By this point Harry was done trying to do anything but put up at best with Snape. Psychologists probably would be needed to deal with the assortment of issues the man had.
Kaworu just rolled his eyes. Lillium schools sounded like pure and utter insanity to him when it was working right. When it was completely messed up it made him wonder why they bothered. He then looked at Koji Tetsuya wondered if the man was aware he was immune to what caused the Mimetic beasts.
Kaworu doubted that greatly. He also hoped Getter radiation worked against it as he didn't want to fight the Memetic Getter Team Beasts.
The Angel of Freewill then wondered if all AT Field manipulating lillium would have a sense of unease around him and Excellen Browning. Even he could tell that fingers of entities he didn't want to deal with had touched her.
Kaworu sat the same table that Judau and Harry were using and once more Harry wondered what he was feeling from the Evangelion pilot.
"My friends and I probably would drive them nuts," Judau admitted with a bemused expression. "Though I doubt you'd be able to skip days going out scavenging mechs and such at a boarding school."
"Not really," Harry commented. "Given it is on Earth and not in space."
"Space isn't quite as impressive when you live there," Judau noted. "Or at least on Shangri-La which had become a dump unlike Londenion."
Harry was sure Mrs. Weasley would have wanted to mother that gang of kids. And have words with Judau's parents for just leaving their kids behind while sending money from another colony.
'I seem to keep meeting people she'd want to take care of,' Harry mused.
"Oh there are worse places," Tsuyoshi Seido commented. "Galra Empire's hospitality leaves a lot to be desired."
"No kidding," Harry muttered as he'd read about that. The four Go-Lion pilots to end up visiting it didn't pull any punches on how bad the place was.
"I would never want to visit the throne world of the Galra Empire," Kaworu stated. "Any idea what it is called?"
"Best I can tell people call it Planet Doom," Tsuyoshi noted. "As in you are doomed if you end up going there. And I doubt anyone can ask the locals the real name of the place."
"Yeah I really don't want to visit that place unless it is to my Gundam's foot up someone's butt," Judau remarked.
"Same here," Tsuyoshi agreed.
"So how are things going on trying to get help?" Harry asked Tsuyoshi.
Tsuyoshi sighed. "The same rate politics always go."
"Yeah I know how that is," Judau remarked.
"I wonder how they're going to deal with the whole aliens abducting people and such," Harry mused. "I doubt anyone is going to be happy that an alien got to do Earth to do that in the first place."
"I really wonder how they're going to bring back that guy in the red and black mech after what the Getter team did with the remains," Judau said as the Getter team had made sure to break even what little bits were left.
"Yes they did their best to make that even more difficult," Kaworu commented.
Tsuyoshi wasn't sure how to take that anyone could resurrect anyone. Let alone from such tiny bits if there were any left. He really hoped the Galra Empire couldn't do that.
"I've had to deal with things that didn't want to stay dead," Harry noted. "It is not fun. Especially when you don't know they're around."
He had first hand information on that with Voldemort.
"I doubt he's anyone we'd want to see come back either," Kaworu stated.
No one disagreed with that.
"So anyone think we're ever going to get an Evangelion for Mari?" Harry then asked.
"Not if the Supreme Commander of NERV gets his way," Kaworu replied.
"No kidding," Judau muttered.
"Yeah he doesn't seem to be the type to get anyone besides him get his way," Harry noted.
"Very true," Kaworu agreed.
Then there was a bark as a dog rushed into the mess hall. A dog Koji Tetsuya knew as Texas Mack worked closely with Silicon Base.
Harry blinked at seeing a pair of people dressed like cowboys came in. Jack King managed to get a leash on the dog.
"Sorry about that," Mary sighed. "I told Jack to use a leash, but he said it'd be fine not to use one."
"I didn't think anyone actually dressed like that," Harry admitted. He'd heard of the pair but never seen any pictures of them.
"And I'm surprised that the Getter team or Mazinkaiser SKL pilots didn't defile the corpses of your 'family' for fun," Jack King remarked.
"I think it was more they just didn't want to have to deal with the authorities," Harry stated. "They didn't want to spend hours of their time wasted with that."
Jack snorted. "Yeah that sounds like them."
Koji Tetsuya didn't ask what that was about as he already knew that story. He actually was impressed Harry hadn't ended up like Ryoma or Hayato.
It amused Harry a great deal that the Dursleys were completely and utterly hated by Londo Bell their allies. And it seemed from the video of the funeral on-line their reputation with "normal people" also was really bad now.
"As for how we dress," Mary spoke up. "It is how we like to dress."
"Not everyone can have our style," Jack snorted.
"Silicon Base isn't sure why they do that either," Koji Tetsuya added with a shrug.
"No offense but not sure most people at the various bases can throw stones given some of the things they wear," Harry admitted.
"I won't ever want to wear a Danner Base uniform," Mary commented.
"So what brings you here?" Kaworu asked to change the subject.
"Testing for the Evangelion 04 is going to happen soon and the brass wants Coop and Lowe to go over the S-2 Engine."
Kaworu felt his and everyone else's heart stop for a moment.
"They want them to do something about that?" Koji Tetsuya gasped.
"Well the fact the S2 engine works about the same way as a photon torpedo from Star Trek worries people," Mary groaned.
"Won't that be a good reason for them not to play with it?" Kaworu inquired not sure what those two would do with something that antimatter could be involved. It also made him glad his being an Angel was unknown as they'd likely take his S2 organ and do strange things with it.
Kaworu really didn't want to image what Doctor Hell would do with it.
"Actually they figure that those along with various experts on Brain Powerd organic technology could make the S2 Engine safer," Jack told them.
"Oh and they want all of you there for security in case Doctor Hell or someone else tries stealing Evangelion 04 and the S2 Engine," Mary stated.
"Or aliens show up and try wrecking everything," Harry said after a moment.
Jack grinned. "Yeah that too. Basically the usual stuff."
Kaworu doubted this event was going to be boring...or sane for that matter. He just hoped he won't be anywhere near ground zero if the S2 engine exploded. Not that he expected that to do anything but scratch the paint of Megas.
The Angel of Free Will felt some dread realizing this was going to be an S2 Engine altered by Coop. Anything could happen, and he was going to have a ringside seat for it. He just hoped when he was reunited with Father he enjoyed the tale.

Iczer-1 heard a message from Earth. It made her feel good that humanity had kept their better nature after she dealt with Big Gold. It also strengthened her resolve to deal with Neos Gold once and for all.
The war Iczer-1 had battled since restoring the Earth had gone on for a century and she was almost done.
"I beat Neos Gold and I'll visit Earth again," Iczer-1 thought. "Maybe there is someone like Nagisa there now.'
