Albus Severus was completely and utterly confused. What should have improved the past was so utterly and completely sidetracked and messed up he wasn't sure where to start. Everything he knew had been uprooted and changed in so many weird ways. Nothing he had learned of the past seemed to matter anymore.
His father was very different that he imagined he be and he hung out with all these weird people he definitely didn't know if the history Albus remembered. If anything his father for the most part seemed happier and a lot more at ease. Cedric Diggory was a lot meaner than he'd been lead to believe. Even Uncle Ron was so different than he remembered and somehow had this weird ability now.
No one was sure how Uncle Ron could do what he did exactly. It defied definition as those that could do it had been living in space. None of that made any sense to Albus, but he had been on one of those things people lived in space.
Newtypes were just one more thing that made clear to Albus that things had gone completely insane and this likely wasn't the place he was from. Even worse Albus had no idea how to get back given the time turner no longer worked.
Not that anyone was letting Albus or Scorpius keep the broken time turner. Even the Hogwarts teachers wanted to keep that thing away from them. No one wanted to see what sort of mistakes that would cause and they definitely didn't want to have more work to fix.
Albus then scowled as those weird people his father worked with felt the plan to alter things for the better was completely stupid and a total mess. That the plan won't work at all like he wanted, and there was plenty of speculative fiction on the folly of using time travel in that manner. Albus didn't care to be talked to like he barely knew how to put pants on.
All of that didn't even cover all the giant robots that made Albus's head hurt. They were everywhere and muggles used so many they needed terms like super robot, real robot, variable fighter, and personal trooper to organize them.
Then there was the reason all those giant robots existed. So many threats that frankly made Voldemort look like he was a small scale danger. Like Voldemort was overblown by everyone in the Wizarding World and much bigger and more dangerous threats existed.
Albus wasn't sure he believed Londo Bell on the talk of actually fighting Voldemort once and beating him fairly easily. Voldemort had ravaged the Wizarding World in two wars and they considered him in the body of a giant a light weight?
Albus Severus thankfully never got asked if Voldemort ever tried to have another reality before an extension of his being like the emperor of the Muge Empire had been. That would cause Albus to freak out that such an evil being could exist. The time traveler was not ready for the sheer madness that existed in the universe. Some would claim he'd never be ready for it.
Albus Severus not was dealing with how crazy this Halloween had been so far all that well.
"There should just be Sirius Black breaking into the Gryffindor Dorms for Wormtail and not this," Albus Severus muttered in terror as he watched the carnage from around the world on the screens. "Not this complete and utter insanity."
Albus also was shocked that Aunt Fleur also was a pilot of a mech. Which lead to the thought of his Mum being a jerk to this Fleur to involve using the weapons on that mech to express her displeasure at having her name butchered to be another name for mucus.
Albus doubted Uncle Bill and Grandpa could keep that getting extremely ugly and brutal. Or that even his father could stop an all out assault from happening.
Though what his father could and could not do was getting a lot weirder and out there for Albus Severus.
He had no idea why his father enjoyed piloting that mech that the full name could make some quills explode.
Vrlitwhai looked at Albus Severus for a moment. He honestly didn't care much for the time traveler or any of the trio that had traveled back in time. They all to him had shown why time travel needed far stronger safeguards than a trio of puzzles.
Of course he also wondered why anyone felt having a time travel device at a school for children was a good idea in the first place. It sounded like a horrible idea, and nearly as bad as having such a device used so a student could take all their classes as from Vrlitwhai could tell the schedules for classes changed drastically each year.
It seemed like just a chaotic mess for Vrlitwhai. A similar feeling that Albus Severus Potter gave him.
"So are you going to train to serve some useful purpose besides a warning to not try altering time for stupid reasons?" the micronized Zentradi commented.
Albus didn't like Vrlitwhai's patronizing tone.
"They weren't stupid!" Albus Severus snapped.
Vrlitwhai's expression made it clear he did not believe that for a moment. It also made clear that the time traveler wasn't going to ever change Vrlitwhai's mind.
"You will not find anyone that agrees with that position among Londo Bell,' Vrlitwhai stated sharply. "Even Coop believes what your plans were complete and utter rubbish."
Albus Severus stood his ground against the alien. What did he know anyway? Not that he would say that out loud to any Zentradi warrior as they might beat him up. Especially Vrlitwhai given he'd become a Zentradi small fleet commander.
Still Albus knew he had to show them all. After all how hard could be it be to pilot one of those mechs anyway? They seemed to let anyone do it. It really couldn't be that hard then.
Percy Weasley had to admit he never imagined he'd ever see a time traveling nephew annoy an alien from outer space. It was the sort of thing that made him wonder if his twin brothers had slipped him something extremely weird. But he doubted it as the potion haze would likely make more sense than all of this.
Which said so much to Percy about how odd things had gotten. He also realized that if Harold "Coop' Cooplawski felt that Albus's plans were bad then they really were extremely bad. Coop's plans were not much more than beating something until it stopped moving. So Albus Severus not measuring up to even those standards was rather scary.
It also had him thinking about his future and he wasn't sure he wanted to work for the Ministry now. Not if Harry's yelling was true of future events.
Percy knew his Mum would be heartbroken for him to not want to work for the Ministry, but the place sounded like such a cesspool that had far too many it seemed wanting the Dark Lord in charge. Or would do what was easy and not what was right to such a disappointing degree. Then again even the man who had said it only paid lip service to that so why would anyone else actually follow it?
The Ministry of Magic was not a place Percy wished to work, and Londo Bell showing up had opened Percy's eyes to many other options for him to try working at. He found it interesting, disturbing and amazing all in equal measure.
He had no idea a wizard had become an admiral in the Terran League space navy before this. Given he had worked as skipper of the Hogwarts that sounded like an interest thing to do. Not that he expected it to be an easy task of course. Frankly he knew any such task like that or becoming Head Boy was going to be difficult and require going above and beyond the standard level of work.
Though he had to wonder if he'd end up working in Londo Bell. Having dealt with them so much and not going crazy had to be a point in his favor for that. Percy wasn't sure how many could handle the madness of Londo Bell. To him it honestly could not be a lot of people.
The Head Boy then noticed that Mad Eye was keeping a close eye on Albus Severus. Percy doubted it was due to thinking the time traveler would do acts out of malice that got in the way or hurt people. Acts of complete and utter stupidity was another story of course.
Which was embarrassing to Percy on many levels. He thought that Ginny and Harry would be able to instill avoiding doing something that stupid. Even George and Fred would not try something so moronic as to meddle with time.
Of course Percy had heard rumors about things that made him wonder about the teachers. Including some things the now Care professor had done. All of it was things that made him wonder how long before house points didn't matter and the students stopped caring.
Percy was glad he was not going to be at the school to have to deal with the fallout of that.
The part that scared Percy was that Londo Bell only speed up student apathy for the house points system. What Professor Snape had done for years before had gotten the whole thing started.
"Now would you care to get off the bridge?" Vrlitwhai remarked to Albus Severus. "If you are not going to be useful beyond a warning to avoid time traveling."
Percy wondered as Albus Severus stormed off if anyone else had to deal with family members that disappointing. He knew they had to exist, but he couldn't think of any off hand.
V-V-V
In the depths of Orphan, or the Land of Misfit Toys as some derogatorily put it, there wasn't a single person that could keep themselves from watching what was going on all over the Earth.
They honestly never expected to see something like this happen. The Reclaimers wondered where all those weird robots with two faces had come from, and what they intended to do with the surface world. Was it for conquest or for destruction?
It was kind of hard to tell sometimes. And it could be both at the same time with some people. When they didn't go on TV and tell people their plans it took a lot of observation. Something they knew the governor of Orphan was doing.
Though Kanan was far more worried about Yuu than she was anyone else as he was going to be in the eye of that storm. As now Yuu and the other pilots of Londo Bell seemed to be within reach of Orphan.
"We need to attack Onogoro now," Quincy Issa stated sharply. "This chaos will let us get to whatever Plates Orb has."
"And deal with Yuu," Jonathan Glenn said smugly.
Far too smug for how well he'd done fighting him so far and that was blindingly obvious to all the Reclaimers that heard him speak.
Which said a lot as they weren't exactly the kind of people to pick up on subity.
"And hope the Getter team isn't there to make good on their promises," Quincy remarked. "Or see if the team piloting their new Getters can do it."
Kensaku Isami wondered why one of the Reclaimers wanted to start fights with Professor Saotome's group of maniacs. They tended to leave their enemies broke or just dead. Jonathan not being a corpse was just luck at this point. They weren't sure how long Jonathan's luck would hold out.
And while Kensaku didn't care what Jonathan did in his own time, the Reclaimers kind of needed all the skilled pilots for Grand Chers they could get.
"Still," Midori Isami mused. "Now is a good time to take what we need from Orb."
The Grand Cher pilots didn't need to be told twice, yet Kanan wondered if that was a good idea.
She also thought for a moment about being asked to join Londo Bell when Yuu escaped, and wondered if they'd want someone like her.
They seemed sincere but she just wasn't sure if that was true. Why would want someone so unloved like her to be part of their ranks?
There was a reason that psychologists would have a great deal of work in Orphan. Possibly never ending work with each new Reclaimer that would show up.
V-V-V
Cagali Yula Athha was not happy to see Olofat being attacked by aliens, giant cyborgs, that weird being with a big head and small limbs that had faced Megas twice, and who knows what else. There also was the Reclaimers using the assault to allow them to do whatever that bunch of maniacs felt like doing.
Cagali really didn't care for Orphan to be so close to Orb as frankly it attracted nutcases.
Possibly it did so by design and she knew that she'd want it around even less if that was true. Orb did not need any more issues.
Cagali also hoped to be testing her Morgenroete made mech in a less dire situation. Like in the test grounds of Onogoro instead of in an all out invasion of Orb by who knows what.
Still she was sure the various prototype units were going to prove their worth here and now. She also wondered how many original parts the Red Astray still had given who it was being tested and used by.
Lowe Gruele was well known for his love of customizing mecha, and creating the Darleen 2.0 for a man best known by his nickname of Goat.
The Princess of Orb then smirked slightly as it seemed for some reason the word Gundam was not trademarked or copyrighted so anyone could call their mobile suit a Gundam and Anaheim Electronics could not do anything about it.
'Though it'd be nice if Morgenroete didn't have to work with all those other companies merely to make their own Gundams,' Cagali mused. 'And I wonder if one of those companies is a front for SNRI.'
Cagali then focused on piloting the prototype Astray she was in. It was painted green and it had a very odd multipurpose weapon. It was called the Twin Sword Rifle, and that name left out that it also could become an axe.
She kept to using the regular beam saber and beam rifle the mech had as frankly she didn't want to mess with the Twin Sword Rifle at the moment. That could be done later in the training grounds or the simulator.
The only thing she considered a good thing was the fact that the Novis Noah was on hand to help in the invasion.
A trio of Brain Powerds was a lot more helpful than the various mass produced mobile suits and variable fighters Orb had against whatever the invaders were. Other than the Astray prototypes everything Orb had for their armed forces at the moment was more or less stock equipment.
Cagali couldn't disagree with Orb having their own military forces given all the things that wanted to invade the Earth. Or maniacs like Doctor Hell that wished to conquer it. She just wished it really wasn't necessary.
She then opened fire on a flying..whatever the invaders were. The thing looked like something the Dinosaur Empire would have with it being a cyborg pterodon with a metal head, and a missile launcher on the metal chest.
Obelius fired back at the Green Astray, and Cagali found she had to move fast to avoid being blown to bits.
The Warrior Beast then got knocked out of the air by a beam of energy. Obelius hit the ground with a loud crash. A massive red V shaped object then slammed into the Warrior Beast as well.
Cagali was relieved that Londo Bell was in the capital now. They would be able to help deal with this mess. She also saw that they had brought that one former Reclaimer with them.
"I wonder who his piloting that new mech," Mu commented as he fired his beam rifle again into the Warrior Beast's head.
Obelius stopped moving with that.
The Tallgeese III stepped on the head of the Obelius to make sure.
"Oh that'd be the princess," Ryoma chuckled. "Nice to see you again Cagali."
"...How would you know a princess?" Ron gasped.
"I was her martial arts trainer," Ryoma said with a laugh. "It was an extremely watered down version of my family's fighting style, but I got paid extremely well for it."
No one doubted that even the 'watered down' version Ryoma had taught would be anything other than brutal in a fight.
Tetsuya wondered why Ryoma hadn't bragged about that before. Goat tried to think of any princess being with someone that beating up a dragon would involve dragging the carcass back with him to show off.
Yuu had this feeling Orphan had little if anything to do with the Princess of Orb learning a brutal form of unarmed combat.
"I still wonder why the Lion of Orb let her be taught by Ryoma," Amuro admitted.
"Because he is the best, and I wanted a fighting style that worked," Cagali remarked. "I also didn't care it had been banned from martial arts tournaments."
Ryoma laughed more in amusement.
Ron was a bit disturbed by that sound. He was sure that was one of the last sounds some people heard before being knocked out or worse.
With that Harry made a note to never treat the Princess of Orb like a fairy tale princess as most of them won't want to learn how to break someone in two from Ryoma. Perhaps some of those female fairy tale leads in stories that weren't often if ever adapted into movies might, but those women were way more take charge.
Preventer Wind could not imagine his sister ever trying to learn the Nagare school of combat. Perhaps a fighting style that redirected the force an attack, but never one that you could consider the motto to be no such thing as overkill.
Mio was just amused at how Cagali could meet Ryoma. Boy was that going to make things different later.
Yuu had a feeling that even the most hardened Reclaimer would find Ryoma Nagare's laughter to be frightening.
"Coop wasn't kidding you meet the most interesting people on this gig," Goat commented.
Sayla managed to keep from commenting this was from a man piloting a female shaped mech.
A large double axe flew through the air and nearly struck Mu's Zorin Soul. Yuu Brain also was easily able to dodge the attack.
A mostly blue Warrior Beast charged at them. Unknown to Londo Bell and Cagali even the other Warrior Beasts were giving this one a wide breath as Garalia would try killing them as much as he would those on the surface.
The beam that Garalia fired caused whatever it hit to explode. Be it cars, buildings, roads, street lights or anything else.
They just hoped that Coop never had such a weapon as the ones Megas already had were dangerous enough. Especially the weapon that digitized matter.
"Yuu Brain does not like that Warrior Beast," Yuu stated. "Even more so than the other ones."
"That says a lot," Ron commented as he unloaded with the rapid fire beam rifle he had.
Goat likely would have shocked and disturbed the Crossbone Vanguard as the Full Armor Darleen 2.0 now had a upsized Shot Lancer. The armor piercing weapon worked extremely well and easily was able to wound Garalia.
Zamzeed attacked the Warrior Beast with her familiars and even Garalia was surprised when a ball of light hit him with a massive paper fan.
"We need to put him down fast," Cagali stated as she tried to process what just happened. "As there might not be a city otherwise."
The Tallgeese III struck Garalia with the heat rod, and Wind definitely had the weapon superheated. The weapon dug into the armor of the Warrior Beast.
Garalia tried to break out of the whip-like weapon, and that was when Excellen sniped the Warrior Beast. Her shots struck Garalia and hurt the psychotic Warrior Beast.
Yuu flew in and struck Garalia with his sword. He made sure to go for where the others had broken the armor of the Warrior Beast so his attack did even more damage.
The Warrior Beast was thrown off when Zechs suddenly pulled back the heat rod, and Kyosuke shot him with the autocannon.
Zamzeed then moved quickly and assaulted Garalia with a barrage of punches.
Garalia was knocked back when it was struck with a Drill Pressure Punch from Great Mazinger.
The Zorin Soul then opened fire with Garalia with the electrochemical gun. Mu considered that the term electrochemical to be a fancy way to say it fired projectiles.
Garalia didn't enjoy being shot, and tried to slice the Zorin Soul in half with his axe. However the Hawk of Endymion was a lot quickly than the Warrior Beast.
In frustration Garalia kept trying to trying to disembowel the Zorin Soul.
Black Getter took advantage of the Warrior Beast being focused on one target and slammed its fist into the organic face where a mouth should be on Garalia. Neville struck that face over and over again until the Warrior Beast fell to the ground.
"Well that's one way to deal with them," Excellen mused.
"And somehow I have a feeling that fills the nightmares of Momma's Boy," Ryoma snorted.
"I don't think even he's insane enough for it not to," Yuu drawled.
Harry then noticed Sayla, Mu and Amuro move so did as well and managed to avoid being flattened by what looked like a metal turtle with a volcano on it's back.
"Wow...that's weird even by our standards," Harry admitted.
"How did something that big get here without anyone noticing?" Ron asked as Gasrose was huge.
"Not sure but let's just kill it anyway," Ryoma called out with a Getter smile.
"He is not a friend to all children," Mio commented.
"Not sure how something like that could be," Cagali commented as she fired on the massive Warrior Beast.
Yuu fired a blast at the giant Warrior Beast as well.
Goat got to test the Clay Bazooka that Lowe and Coop had made for the Darleen 2.0. Well more the rounds that Hayato Jin had created for it. The rounds dug into Gasrose and explosions of Getter Rays went off.
Gasrose screamed in pain.
"I'll put that down as they work rather well," Hayato commented sounding extremely pleased with himself.
"I want one of those," Ron commented.
"I'm fairly sure they'll give you one," Harry noted.
Yuu wondered what Getter Ray explosions like that would cause to Grand Cher or a Brain Powerd.
Tetsuya then yelled "Breast Burn!"
Concentrated heat assaulted Gasrose and armor started to melt.
Wind fired the mega beam cannon into where Great Mazinger had damaged Gasrose.
Mu flew in and sliced into the sides of the giant Warrior Beast with his beam saber.
Ron, Fleur, and Excellen unleashed a barrage of fire to keep Gasrose busy.
The shots only seemed to annoy it a bit. The autocannon fire from the Alt Eisen had a similar effect.
Neville then showed either great skill or insanity by shooting a Getter Beam right into the left optic of Gasrose and it screamed in pain.
Gasrose then literally stood up and tried to swat at Black Getter. Neville barely was able to avoid being struck.
Cagali then let Gasrose have it and tried to destroy his other optic, but didn't quite manage to shatter it. However it was now pitted and no one knew how effective the optic was now.
Sayla, Mu, and Amuro then showed why one shouldn't mess with Newtypes as the trio easily were able to dodge the attacks of Gasrose and work in synch with each other.
Still the massive Warrior Beast fought on. It seemed more and more enraged by their attacks and more savage in how it tried to strike them.
Cagali knew they had to get the massive Warrior Beast outside of the city. Otherwise even that Warrior Beast with the beams that made things explode wouldn't cause as much damage to Olofat.
Ron shot Gasrose repeatedly in the hole that Neville had made in the head and it followed him to try to crush him.
"Looks like directing this won't be a problem," Ron remarked using his abilities to stay a step ahead of the giant turtle that wanted to kill him.
"Now to keep it from wrecking the city on the way out," Cagali said with a grim smile.
"We'll do what we can," Harry informed her as he opened fire on Gasrose.
Cagali snorted. "At least you didn't say with a lot of cheese like the guardian of Nobel Tokyo would."
Harry wasn't sure if that was a compliment or not as he heard a lot of good things about the pilot of Might Gaine. He really wanted to meet the guy and maybe shake his hand.
As soon as they reached the harbor Shin Getter then split into the trio of jets and they flew into the head of Gasrose and formed into Shin Getter Two. They drilled into the head of Gasrose and destroyed everything inside it.
Gasrose fell over into the sea with a splash. The Warrior Beast also sank like a rock.
Missiles then were launched at Londo Bell and they went back into the city to find a yellow armored Warrior Beast had been attacking them.
Dokaider then showed the horn it had wasn't for show and fired a laser beam at Black Getter. The Black Getter hit the ground hard.
"Owe," Neville muttered as he got back up.
Cagali then barely avoided the drill arm of the Warrior Beast.
Tetsuya blocked the drill with one of his Mazinger blades.
Yuu Brain easily dodged one of the laser beams.
Goat unleashed a barrage of missiles from the missile launchers built into the Full Armor. Thankfully none of them had Getter Radiation payloads.
Mu la Flaga shot Dokaider in the missile arm with his beam rifle trying to blow the arm and possibly more of the Warrior Beast up. However they didn't explode, and Dokaider was still in the fight.
Fleur then unloaded on Dokaider with a Neutron Beam Rifle. She liked the weapon over the Mega Beam Rifle due to it being a more powerful weapon.
Excellen then used the Oxtongue in B mode and stuck Dokaider with bullets.
Harry sliced off the drill arm with his hyper beam saber.
Dokaider seemed shocked at that, and Neville got back at the Warrior Beast by shoving a tomahawk though the organic face it had.
"You are really getting into it Neville," Ryoma grinned.
Neville felt pleased with himself at that.
"So even you against betting on the very long odds that the Getter will avoid trying to scare the Longbottom clan?" Sayla asked Kyosuke.
"That's a suckers bet," Kyosuke stated.
Ron took that to mean there was no chance that the Longbottom clan could avoid learning what their trying to force magic and nearly killing Neville had done. He really hoped the Getter team recorded the whole thing. It was definitely going to be interesting.
Then a very colorful Warrior Beast flew in and unleashed a barrage of missiles and energy blasts from the pink-purple wings it had.
"Looks like a box of crayons exploded on that one," Harry remarked as the Warrior Beast was mostly red, green, purple, and black along with the colorful wings.
"I don't think Brain Powerds or Grand Chers ever been that many colors at once," Yuu admitted.
"I don't think even Coop and Lowe would paint something that many colors," Goat stated.
Wind struck the Warrior Beast with his beam saber, and tried to cut off one of the wings. Gold Phoenix was barely able to keep the Lightning Count from doing that.
Gold Phoenix then had to dodge fire from the Jegan rifle that Ron had. He didn't even realize that Ron was trying to keep his attention. Amuro used the fact the Warrior Beast was distracted to let loose with the Hyper Mega Rifle and Gold Phoenix hit the ground hard.
Cagali ran her beam saber through the Warrior Beast to make sure Gold Phoenix was not getting back up.
Then what looked like a weird centaurish Warrior Beast launched a barrage of missiles.
"Man they are all weird looking," Ron commented looking at the mostly red, grey, and purple Warrior Beast.
"I rather they weren't in Orb," Cagali stated as she opened fire on Teotras with her beam rifle.
"We'd all be happier for them to not be invading the Earth," Wind remarked as he let the Warrior Beast have it with his Mega Beam Cannon.
Thankfully it was in the compact rifle-like mode instead of the nearly as powerful as the Buster Rifle mode that would have leveled the entire city.
Teotras didn't really consider being hit with either mode of the weapon a mercy. Nor did he like having a Navel Missile strike him dead on.
Goat struck Teotras in the gut with the Shot Lancer.
Shin Getter Two to the surprise of Teotras and several pilots fired off the drill and it went right through the Warrior Beast and returned to Shin Getter's arm.
Neville wondered if the Getter Two form of his unit could do that too.
The Alt Eisen quickly finished off Teotras with a stake revolver through the face that was on the front of the centaur part of the Warrior Beast.
Yuu wondered if Yuu Brain could use any e-cap powered weapons and if Coop and Lowe would make them.
It was something he knew he'd have to ask them later as a few more weapons to his arsenal might come in handy later. He also was very sure that a bunch of those had been made for the very odd Darlenn 2.0.
Harry then had to dodge a blast from a shotgun of an Elvis looking mech. He wondered why that alien was attacking them and not Coop. The only reason he could think of was to kill Goat as a way to demoralize Coop.
Magnanimous seemed to be that big of a jerk to Harry to try doing something like that.
"Surprised they helped him out of that black hole," Tetsuya commented. "I believed them too xenophobic to get help."
Magnanimous smirked. "Their Emperor isn't the same as their robot foot soldiers."
"He seems to dig up interstellar space garbage for one," Tetsuya remarked as he easily dodged the chainsaw of Magnanimous's mech. "And such useless trash at that."
The massive headed being's eye twitched. "I think I'm going to kill you first for that. Even over Coop."
The Gundam Hyperion then flew in front of the shotgun and took the blast with ease. Canard so loved having the Armure Lumiere Lightwave Shield.
"Oh I think I'll get ahead of Tetsuya and Coop on that Maggy," Canard Pars said with a deranged smirk on his face.
"Why can't any of your Earthers say my name right?!" Magnanimous bellowed. "It is starting to tick me off!"
Canard's response was to have the Hyperion give a rude hand gesture. Magnanimous focused on Pars and Canard smirked at that. He wanted to send Magnanimous a message he couldn't ignore.
The Hyperion easily took the blasts that the white mech let out or the massive chainsaw.
Magnanimous was so lost in the moment that he didn't notice anyone else was firing on him.
Katina's Gespenst drove its fist into the massive leg of the former mecha combat federation chairman. The Jet Magnum upset the balance of the mech, and Lotte then struck it with a Final Beam from the chest of her Grungust.
Russel then unloaded with the shoulder mounted cannons of his Gespenst. Velt then unleashed the Leap Slasher and the parts flew off the back of the Huckebein and merged into a disk. The disk glowed and struck the Elvis mech repeatedly.
Canard then unloaded on the Elvis mech with the pair of beam cannons on the Hyperion. The mech hit the ground with a loud clang.
"Figures I'd be jumped by an entire stable," Magnanimous growled.
Cagali shot his mech in the head with her beam rifle. It easily went through one of the optics and burned deep into the inner workings. Smoke rose from the ruined optic.
"And you can consider this your final tour of Orb," she commented.
"You'll have to speak to the Emperor of Darkness for that," Magnanimous retorted.
"Oh I intend to," Cagali stated as she once more shot the Elvis mech in the head. "And do the same thing to him."
Magnanimous managed to not have the other optic wrecked and tried to get back up to his feet, but got a tomahawk to the gut.
"Oh boy…" he muttered looking at Shin Getter..and that dark storm clouds were starting to form.
Cagali snorted as Great Mazinger was getting into position for a Thunder Break. Tetsuya loved doing that and she had to admit it certainly scared enemies.
Magnanimous tried getting to his feet and got hit with the lightning bolt. Smoke started to come from the white mech he was piloting. It wasn't designed to be hit with lightning.
"That was not good," Magnanimous groaned. He had a feeling he might need to run into another black hole to get away from these people.
The problem was the Great Emperor of Darkness would be very displeased with him, and might try to cut him off from getting in and out of that realm. Magnanimous didn't want to be stuck between dimensions ever again.
There were things between dimensions that Magnanimous didn't want to get the attention of. Dark and dangerous things which scared him. Things that the laws of physics didn't apply to by any means.
Magnanimous then saw a mech show an arm was really a massive cannon. Voltes V then let him have it. Something about the design also felt vaguely familiar to him. He just wasn't sure what it was right now.
A black Getter then slammed the chest of the Elvis mech. It made Magnanimous wonder how many of those things there were active right now. Even one was scary, and they had more than that.
A bright orange mech then took some shots at the Elvis mech. Something about that eyesore annoyed Magnanimous even more.
The the blue biomech seemed to teleport around the Elvis mech as it struck with energy blasts from the sword and physically with the sword as well.
Goat then unloaded with the Claymore bazooka.
"Figures the cyborgs aren't helping," Magnanimous groused.
He had no idea that General Julicaesar was watching him, and seeing what the alien 'ally' would do if things went against him. Neither he nor the Great General of Darkness trusted Magnanimous at all.
Julicaeser then looked at the unit known as Shin Getter. The general had felt like the unit was staring right back at him.
That actually unnerved the Warrior Beast General. There was something about it even more than any of the other mecha that screamed total and utter threat to the empire.
General Julicaeser then pulled off his head and threw it at Shin Getter.
Shin Getter easily dodged the attack and the general got a Getter Beam for his troubles.
"Finally!" Magnanimous commented. "Took your sweet time!"
General Julicaeasar said nothing but Warrior Beasts attacked Londo Bell.
"You have to be kidding me," Sayla Mass growled as a green somehow humanoid preying mantis looking Warrior Beast had breasts.
She then beheaded the Warrior Beast with a hyper beam saber. Wardam's head hit the ground with a thud. The Mass Production Type Nu Gundam then stepped on that head.
Ron nearly snorted as he was sure his Mum would have done worse to that "scarlet robot" if she had a mech. Then he turned a bit green realizing the sort of devastation she would cause even with a Mazinger Angel unit. He didn't even want to think about she'd do with a Grungust.
'I never should let Mum pilot a mech,' Ron then made a mental note of.
Ron then saw a spider faced Warrior Beast and unloaded a massive barrage of laser fire into his face.
"Ron hates spiders," Harry commented to explain why he did that.
"So we gathered," Hayato noted as Tarantas's head was completely obliterated and the Warrior Beast fell next to the headless body of Wardam.
Ron then suddenly turned and fired the shoulder beam cannons past Cagali at a fast moving four legged Warrior Beast.
The Warrior Beast was shaped like a large rhino and heavily armored. The Mommothos didn't care for being shot in his small bearded face that was under his massive horn.
Katina then smashed that face in with a Jet Magnum. The Mommothos went down after that.
That amused the leader of Octo Squad. It also vaguely amused Cagali.
A red Warrior Beast then tried to slash Harry's Rezel, but he managed to get out of the way. Giran then fired off eye beams, but Harry already ready had his hyper beam sabers ready and sliced through the Warrior Beast.
Fleur and Cagali worked together on a Warrior Beast that had an indigo bull-like body with a red lion face and white mane. Bisonia also had a missile launcher on its back.
Fleur gave Cagali cover fire while the Green Astray sliced through the Warrior Beast with a beam saber.
Mio then fired energy blasts from the shoulder mounted weapons of the Zamzeed at the Warrior Beast.
Goat jammed the Shot Lancer into the side of the Warrior Beast.
However it seemed to only enrage Bisionia, and Cagali drove the Twin Beam Rifle in axe mode through the head of the Warrior Beast.
As Bisonia fell to the ground Cagali had to admit maybe that multiform weapon was handy. She also had a feeling she'd get a lot of use out of it.
Goat wondered if Coop and Lowe could make something like that his mech.
General Julicaesar then leaped into the fight. He took a barrage from the wrist mounted beam spray guns of Sayla's Mass Production Type Nu Gundam with easy. He also was able to take the fire of the Zorin Soul easily enough.
Harry's Long Mega Buster not so much as that turned one of the Warrior Beast General's arms into molten metal.
"I love this gun," Harry admitted.
Harry then had to dodge the thrown head of the Warrior Beast General.
Kyosuke let General Julicaesar have it with the Claymore missiles, and the attack hurt the Warrior Beast.
Neville's Black Getter and Shin Getter then dual Getter Beamed General Julicaesar. The Warrior Beast general didn't shrug it off very easily.
"That's not good," Magnanimous commented.
A Brain Powerd then blasted the Elvis mech and Magnanimous had trouble keeping it upright after the damage of the Thunder Break.
"Oh hi Hime," Harry said warmly.
"Oh hello Harry," Hime said kindly.
"I wish we could meet in things that aren't people or things trying to wreck things," Harry commented as struck the Warrior Beast General with his hyper beam saber.
"Same here," Hime admitted.
Yuu wasn't sure what to make of that. He felt something he didn't like on Harry being so informal with Hime. Yuu took out his feelings on the white Elvis mech.
Ron hoped he never went through whatever Yuu was going through. It likely would have mind healers using various terms to describe it.
Katina really hoped they weren't going to see teen mecha pilot angst and crap. It always annoyed her. So tiring and usually the same old things over and over. It made her want to gag to be honest.
Katina and Fleur then opened fire on General Julicasear with their Split Missiles. They went right into the wound Harry had made.
"You might have a place on Octo Squad," Katina remarked to Fleur.
Fleur wasn't exactly sure if that was a good thing or not. However she was sure that her own school was going to be closed for a bit due to the attack on the entire planet and she might have to transfer to Hogwarts or some other school to finish the school year.
Amuro Ray then let General Julicasear have it with his shoulder mounted missiles.
Tetsuya then let the general have it with a double burst of Thunder Break. Sayla used the New Hyper Bazooka on the Warrior Beast General. Nothing remained of the Warrior Beast General other than scattered shattered metal.
Magnanimous ran for it after the General Julicasaer was blown up. He poured on the speed as tried to get away from Londo Bell.
He found that wasn't working as his mech was heavily damaged.
"Well...crap…." Magnanimous groaned.
"OPEN GATE!" Ryoma called out.
Shin Getter Two split apart and Magnanimous felt fear.
Shin Getter One nailed the Elvis mech with the Getter tomahawks and severed the arms, then it reformed into Shin Getter Two and drilled right through the mech. Shin Getter split apart again and formed into Shin Getter Three and slammed the Elvis mech repeatedly and unleashed a barrage of missiles on it.
The mech then split once more and reformed into Shin Getter One and slammed the Elvis mech with a Stoner Sunshine.
"Think he escaped into a black hole during that?" Harry asked.
"If he didn't he's likely dead," Amuro answered.
Ron poked the remains of the Elvis mech with his lit beam saber.
"Well he's not complaining either way," Ron noted.
Cagali really hoped to never meet Magnanimous again. Yet she doubted she'd get her way on that.
V-V-V
"Lousy alien…' Albus Severus muttered as he had since leaving the CNC of Hogwarts.
He'd not had any destination in mind as he'd wandered the halls, but noticed he'd come to the workshop/classroom of Lowe and Coop.
He went inside and found neither man was there, and scoffed at the various mecha.
Albus had utterly no interest in the Doven Wolf or any mass produced units being altered in the workshop. They didn't seem in any manner special to him.
"They have to keep the really good stuff restricted like the library," Albus remarked and no one was there to tell him he was completely off.
"That looks like crap," he remarked looking at Black Great.
Albus had no idea how poorly that Tetsuya would take some time traveler brat saying that about any Great Mazinger unit. Also that he'd show Albus why he should respect any Great Mazinger in the simulator or Albus in a training mech against Great Mazinger.
Albus made his way through the workshop and noticed a sign on a door. He took a moment to see what it said.
"Huh dangerous even by even our standards?" Albus mused out loud. "Perfect."
It took several unlocking spells to open the door as the one taught in the first year didn't work.
Albus Severus walked inside and looked at a mostly red and black mech. Though the left arm didn't look like it was originally part of the mech and was colored silver. The silver arm had a beam spray gun added to the forearm like the Mass Production Type Nu Gundam had.
Albus Severus made his way to that mech, and found he had to use unlocking charms to open the door to the mech, and it was extremely tricky. He only barely managed to get the door to open.
Albus randomly pressed buttons and one powered up the mech that he didn't care what it was. It wasn't like it mattered.
Albus then sat in the chair and put on the helmet.
The foolish teen then screamed to the heavens as the Epyon System was something the wizard was not prepared for in the slightest.
V-V-V
Ron let out a very long string of swearing.
Harry was very worried. That was never a good sign.
"Harry….we need to beat the shite out of my idiot nephew," Ron growled. "As I just got the mother of all headaches involving him and that one mech that Preventer Wind told everyone to not ever try to pilot."
"Epyon…." Ryoma groaned and then swore as well.
"I don't think the test answers are as locked down as that unit was," Goat said surprised anyone would want to use Epyon.
The mech in question then flew out of Hogwarts like a bat out of hell.
"I can speak from personal experience that the number of people I'd trust with that system is two," Amuro stated. "Preventer Wind here and Heero Yui."
"Oh for the love of…" Harry groaned. "Was messing with time not enough for him?" He has to mess around with the Zero system too?!"
"Guess so," Mio remarked.
In the Epyon Albus Severus was seeing so much. Things that he didn't ever think were possible including the future and what he thought was his father in a silver and green mobile suit. His enemy that must be destroyed!
Yet there was something else had to do first and Albus Severus flew towards another island. Things he had take care of first.
The isle of Onogoro where a smug snake and a baron would be. The pair needed to die.
That was something that needed to be done as an even bigger threat lurking close by. A major enemy that had to be destroyed to keep humanity alive.
The Angel must die!
Epyon poured on the thrust and flew from over the capital to Onogoro.
Albus Severus opened fire on Evangelion 06. The AT field easily stopped the fire of the beam spray gun.
The teen wizard then used the beam sword of Epyon and had the exact same results.
Albus then turned and fired on the Grand Chers attacking the island. Even with their speed they had no defense against the Zero System inside Epyon.
The machine gun hand of Jonathan's Grand Cher really didn't help much as the Gundamium alloy.
Said machine gun arm got removed from the Grand Cher with the beam sword.
"Arrogant little Momma's boy," Albus Severus remarked. "Funny thing is she does love you and care about your well being."
"Don't lie to me!" Jonathan screamed.
Albus just laughed evilly as he easily dodged an attack Kanan.
"Such power," Albus cackled. "I can see everything!"
To prove such a declaration Epyon turned and fired the Beam Spray Gun. The Grand Cher that Quincy was piloting was it with every single shot.
Albus Severus felt on top of the world now.
Epyon was able to dodge blasts from the Reclaimers with easy.
"You useless rejects," Albus yelled. "Orphan is as messed up as all of you!"
Kaworu rolled his eyes as that was blindingly obvious.
"I'll find a way to deal with you," Albus growled at Kaworu.
"Keep dreaming," Kaworu remarked.
The full of himself wizard snarled at the Angel.
Albus flew at Kanan who was starting to lose her connection with her Grand Cher. With ease he sliced the biomech in half using the beam sword.
"So pathetic" Albus commented went in to kill Kanan with the beam sword.
"You young man are grounded," Harry commented as he flew in and to Albus's shock blocked the beam sword with his hyper beam sabers.
"But...that shouldn't…" Albus Severus gasped as the Epyon system didn't seem them as a threat to that weapon.
"Coop and Lowe do good work," Harry said with an audible smirk. "Guess the Zero System or anything derived from it can properly measure what they've done."
Albus Severus then screamed as the Epyon System went crazy as Megas in flew in. Everything went completely mad like a fever dream enhanced with designer drugs.
Somehow a thin Coop in what looked like a Zakuish mech leading an army came up in the madness.
"Getter Beam!" Neville called out and the Epyon system went even more crazy as it was hit with Getter Radiation.
Albus was learning first hand there was a reason the Zero System and Epyon System had done their best to avoid fighting a Getter as he saw a room full of clones of Musashi, inhuman black creatures bursting out of what seemed to be humans, a Getter hitting Mars, and aliens cowering in fear of a spaceship sized Getter among other things.
And yet the oddest thing to Albus was this girl with pointed ears and something called Neos Gold being out there fighting in space. Something about Neos Gold scared him even more than the Angel.
Yuu swooped in and was able to save Kanan.
"You do realize that Hime thinks you two are dating right?" Ryoma asked Yuu.
"Eh?" Yuu said confused.
"Still think they are?" Hayato asked Hime.
"Not after that given Yuu wears his feelings on his sleeve," Hime admitted. She won't admit she still was jealous though.
Nearly everyone could tell that she was however.
"Merlin give me strength," Harry muttered.
Fleur wondered if the Reclaimers or even former ones understood their own feelings. She really doubted it.
It also didn't help that Yuu's sister literally took on a new name and forcefully made it clear she was not answering to her birth name. Though at least she didn't say her new name was the name of her soul.
Albus Severus then started to scream as the Weiss Ritter flew close to Epyon. He saw horrifying things between dimensions. Things that wanted back in and to reboot everything.
Albus didn't realize the door being opened to his mech, or being put into a sleeper hold by Ryoma Nagare.
V-V-V
Albus Severus had no idea how long he had been in those weird visions, but he came to in the Hospital Wing under a body binding charm.
He got to see his father seeming to loom over him. Harry Potter looked completely and utterly enraged as he glared down.
"You have utterly no idea how disappointed I am in you," Harry snarled. "You nearly killed yourself with the Epyon system. That same system or close enough caused one person using it to die and nearly drove several of them utterly insane. It drove one pilot to blow up several space colonies."
Albus's eyes widened as he wasn't sure how one could blow up the space colony he had been on let alone several of them.
"However you want to pilot a mech then you will pilot a mech," Harry said sharply. "Major Kitamura definitely will beat some sense into that thick skull of yours. Even Ron thinks you are more a hardhead than he is."
Harry then sighed.
"We intend to tell your grandmother what you had done," Volunteer Ensign Potter remarked. "No one has any doubts she is going to enraged."
Albus wanted to wince at that. Grandmother Molly was going be really brutal.
Harry smiled slightly. Maybe someone could make Albus Severus not be a fool.
