A/N ok so now the wizards are getting to see the real things muggles can do... well time to really compare the political fields. Or destroy them?
Chapter 8 Politics never change
Harry was sitting at dinner getting looks as the Purebloods were still coping with the class and after the duel and the other proof of great advancements this day alone...
Daphne sat beside Metra and sighed. "Please tell me there is hope for us time challenged wizards. It seems that after a discussion with some ravens and muggle books I do believe we are the ones who are not prepared for the world."
Tracy beside her nodded. Metra reached over and hugged them both with a smile. Harry chuckled. "The first step is to see the proof and not deny any of it. The next step is to start doing something that will fix the issue. In this case, That would be all the Purebloods admitting the old ways are now obsolete and that muggles have advanced. Then getting all the Purebloods to change and adapt to new ideas and advancements. As far as I see it your better off leaving the British communities and going abroad."
The room fell silent as they thought on those words. Harry ate his dinner as did Metra then headed arm and arm to the teachers table. "We will be gone till tomorrow night but will be in class on your Monday. I have to deal with some...individuals...yeah we'll call them that, who are not following the chain of command back home. Goodnight to all."
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The Galactic Federation council had always looked down on Harry but when they needed him them would try to play nice. This latest issue of people trying to get favors or trying to command the Arans out side of the chain of command had to stop.
"Quiet, quiet down. This meeting of the Galactic Council will come to order. The purpose of this meeting is to reconfirm an issue of command and request orders for the Ambassadors/ Bounty Hunters. It was brought to our attention that multiple time Council members and lesser officers have contacted the Arans for missions and meetings with out authorization. The latest incident was the request for an escort mission only hours after the Arans had dealt with a Zebesian Bio-lab. Phazon was located at site as well. The requesting party did not know about the prior mission nor about anyone's role in said mission nor even that there was Phazon present. This is why the Arans have a twelve hour decontamination period after a mission like this before any personal contact..."
Harry stood up, His face cold and blank. "Objection! The statement is not advising the seriousness of the issue."
"Mr. Aran I am only.." "Two hundred and fifty six gallons of processed Phazon, Contained and drained by the Arans and Metra Prime. Five Thousand cubics of Illegal Bio weapon laboratories to drain, cleanse and destroy by Phazon Power bomb. Eight hundred full attack Pirates inside with prior warning of our assault. And after all this, Councilman Drebik tried to order us to do an escort mission. This was two hours after the bombing. This mission for the councilman was for a financial partner and was not in any threat greater than private security needs at the most. Finally this Councilman had absolutely no idea about the raid at all and thus was not given any more of our time. Does the Council approve of such actions of its members?"
This caused a stir and many were glaring at both the Chief Councilman and Drebik. The room was divided but all of them saw the real issue.
"I was going to try and diffuse this in a..." Samus stood, "Cover up the guilty and be tainted by their actions. Metra was in regression, Harry was keeping her stable and I had to do most of the fighting to get this done timely, all due to a leak that tipped off the Bugs. Now lets be clear. We are not your soldiers, We are not your private forces. And we do not see a problem with telling you your place if you keep acting like the very council you replaced when the Metroids were considered an issue."
"The council hears the complaints of the Aran Family..."
"This is not a family complaint. WE are stating this as the Ambassadors of the Chozo and the Metroids and I do not see any reason to remain the Federations Ambassador if this body continues to soften the crimes of its members."
That started the up roar and several parties started to use silent communication to other members. After ten minutes the whole council stood and demanded justice and order. The chief councilman stepped down that day and he and his cousin Drebik were to serve time in a Federation holding station. They would never be allowed into the Political fields again.
The rest of the council with input from the Arans, devised a fully recognized chain of command and made several concessions to aid in keeping it. The Arans still had little care for the governments actions as it simply showed them how fools are the ones in charge. Threaten their safety by taking away their big guns and they start bending over and pleading. The upside was that none of the daughters were to try and flirt with Harry anymore.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Back on the ship Metra refused to let Harry go and kept her arms around him while floating beside him. Samus took a couple discrete photos for future embarrassment or blackmail. Harry always did this when dealing with the idiots. The first time was when Samus was getting the adoption forms processed. The local guards saw that Metra set off the scanners due to the Phazon in her system and tried to detain her. Harry went full suit and tazed them before he held Metra in a protective hug. His cannon stayed charged for ten minutes till someone smart enough asked why she set off the sensors. Ten hours and a full council later Harry and Metra were ambassadors. He was only four.
And Samus was made ambassador too just to ensure the Federation was represented to the others. None of the high and mighty would volunteer to meet such god like entities. Harry knew they only saw her as a thing and him as a prize weapon but after showing their loyalty to each other the council did its best damage control.
The best part was the Council's reaction to the reports about this Wizards and Witches. They possessed amazing abilities but their society was far behind the rest of their planet. The traditions and customs were barbaric and bigoted. Their lack of education was appalling and the very fact that they stayed blind to this was even more insult to decades of advancements of the Federation. Harry was a very dangerous person so a society of people like him was not taken lightly but after all this proof of their arrogant stagnation, they were not even above a tech-mite.
Earth was in sight as they drifted to the school. Samus was ready to crash for the day and let Harry deal with these wizards but she knew their ways meant an adult had to be with them.
Little did she know that plans and laws were being made as they were away. The minister was still in Malfoy's pocket and still needed Dumbledore to aid him in staying Minister. His Undersecretary was trying to pass laws that would force the Potter boy to marry a Pure blood. A law to put fines on the one called Metra Prime for attack on the Wizengamot was worded to make her a Dark Creature as well.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The next morning at breakfast, the Minister of magic walked into the Great hall with Bones and a couple others. Metra softly trilled about the pink thing being as vile as the leech and that she was not to be left alone with it. Harry could feel the arrogance in the room skyrocket as they stopped at the Gryffindor table.
"Hemm..Hemm. Where is Harry Potter? The ministry of magic wishes his presence for a witness to the accusations against Lord Malfoy." The pink thing said with smug glee.
"Would that be the fact that Lord Malfoy tried to poison the Director of the DMLE prior to a wizards duel, or the fact his son use three illegal dark curses during said duel. Or the clearly witnessed intent to decapitate as first spell in the duel?"
"Who said that?" This caused a stir in the room as all were agreeing with those statements.
Mcgonagall stood up and approached the group. "As headmistress I am to be informed of all Ministry action in regards to an attending student. You have not sent any notice nor did you approach me first. As a Pureblood and holder of a Wizengamot seat, I know exactly what everyone of these students saw at the same time I did. As well as the fact they all gave witness statements. And finally I might remind you that due to certain manipulations by a supposed "leader of the Light', Harry Potter is not here at the school. Harry Aran the Ambassador of the Chozo is."
"Hemm..Hemm. Be that as it may, we do not see this Chozo as a recognized nation or entity worthy of an Ambassador. There for we do not see how a boy could have such diplomatic Immunity. He and his creature, Meter or what ever will come with us to the Ministry for a trial of his assault..."
Metra was holding her hand out as was Harry. The group, minus Bones who wisely stood away from the big mouthed woman, were encased in a bubble of chaotic blue energy and Metra was draining their magic.
Harry was not going to let that slide. "Metra Prime is not a creature unless you are as well. I've slain things that would be disgusted by you. I do not care for your actions nor words so lets be very clear. You insulted myself and my Fiancee, and you insulted the Chozo. You insulted a race of being that far outclass and out power you. What did you think would happen?"
The bubble darkened as the group started to collapse. "That is Phazon. The only beings in the Known Galaxy to be able to control and manipulate it at will are myself and Metra. So now that you know where we stand and how weak you are please tell me what is really going on."
The bubble faded and Metra stood beside him in full Dark Phazon armor. She was pissed at the lack of respect and the arrogance. Harry was also ticked but he held it in to throw them off their game.
"The Ministry needs you to come and.." "The truth or you can leave. What are you really trying to do?"
One of the Members looked pale. "They passed laws to punish you and the girl for the Attack at the trial of Lord Black. They used Ministerial law to pass it with out the full Wizengamot. I was told you were to be married off to a Wizarding family and the girl was to be sent to Azkaban."
Metra's shriek echoed around the room as her arm cannon was glowing blue and arcing out. Harry held his hand out to stop her but he too was now in his full armor. "Big Mistake. Director Bones, as I am aware there is a Body of Governmental control called the ICW. Please inform them of this recent action and all relevant information leading to this as we the Ambassadors are charging the British Ministry of Magic with Corruption."
The Door slammed open as The third suit dashed in at a speed they could barely follow. "Who the hell pissed off Metra!" Her arm cannon was glowing with a red energy that heated up the room.
Bones decided to step in to the mix. "Samus and Harry Aran, Metra Prime, Will you please aid me in contacting the ICW as per the diplomatic wishes of the Chozo and Metroid Ambassadors. The Ministry of Magic of Great Britain has seen fit to disregard the public safety and passed laws that would incite a war with powers far greater than our own..."
The man with the lime green hat starts sputtering. " B..Bones.. Amelia stand down or your fired."
"Not without a full vote before the Wizengamot that I know is not convened and waiting for these two."
That was the scene as the three outsiders and Bones left the Hall. With help from Bones, and the ship, they were able to get to the ICW Headquarters. Bones filled in the ICW members and their DMLE. The projections of all the events made the choice clear. Fudge, as they were told was the Minister and the Green hat man, Was not allowed to approve such laws and the toad woman, Umbridge, had been on their watch list for repeated antagonizing of magical creatures with her laws and actions. The ICW was hoping to get her in custody to use their law of 'goblin Identification and inheritance' for any and all prisoners. It would prove just how 'pure' her blood was.
Harry did see where this body was also not fully pure but it was a lot better that Britain. Samus warned the ICW of the fact that right now Metra was not to be questioned or accused of anything. The toad had done a taboo and it really unnerved the girl. And an unnerved energy vacuum/ WMA(Woman of mass annihilation) was not a safe target.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The next few days went by with many of the girls giving Metra a hug and just chatting with her and Harry. The red headed boy, Ron, stayed clear of them. He was told that his mouth would get him killed but as of right now he remained smug. He knew something and was going to enjoy it.
That Friday the ICW sent a letter to inform the armored trio of the trial on Saturday of the actions of the Ministry of Magic. That night Bones met them for dinner at the Great Hall. She had locked down the Bones estate due to repeated attempts at her wards. She knew she needed protection and so did her daughter.
That night the Puffs were in a frenzy as Susan bones was not in dorm at curfew. Harry, Metra and Samus started to scan every thing till Metra stated there was energy from a Slytherin in there. She followed it to the dungeons and soon found a class room near the Slytherin common room. Two boys were holding the girl at wand point and one had his hand in a very wrong place.
"Can't let this treat go to waste, no one will know, I learned a basic Obliviate to keep girls from talking before." That was his last words as the two received wave beam hits. Susan raced to Metra who dropped her suit and held the girl. Harry called Samus with location and with kidnappers. Metra said it was not over. The energy that brought Susan here was female.
When Director Bones saw Theodore Nott and Marcus Flint on the ground she growled. "Their fathers were released on the 'I was Imperioused' defense and bribed the Minister to accept it. These two are not getting away with that same defense."
Mcgonagall arrived with Samus and Professor Sinestra who was the new head of Slytherin house. They entered the common room to see four boys and two girls still up. Pansy Parkinson and Millicent Bulstode were starting to panic. "Headmistress, what can we help you with?" The boys looked calm but knew to keep silent. Crabbe and Goyle, and two other seventh years.
"Metra, please trace the signature you found in the Hufflepuff quarters." Harry was already beside Bulstode with a charged barrel after seeing her reach for her wand. Samus was aiming at Pansy. Metra glared as she looked around the room and pointed at Pansy. The soft trill made Harry growl.
"She said the Malfoy brat's scent is on her as well. So if she can do this for the guilty then lets take her to her master's trial." Pansy was stunned by the Headmistress as was Bolstrode. They were escorted out and Harry turned to the boys. "The other two were caught in the act and Metra can tell if you tried to touch the girl. Let's be clear. I kill for a living. Don't cross me right now. I am in no mood for games and fake power plays. Tomorrow the Malfoy line will be shattered and these four are going down with them. The ICW has enough to put the Minister in Azkaban. Don't side with fools and stop the corruption before it destroys the wizarding world. House of cunning? Stagnant politics are a fools game when you can make a better future with cunning."
The next morning the whole school heard of the kidnapping, all the Purebloods in all the Houses quickly sent owls to their parents to let them know. The Wizengamot was about to be a lot smaller. Harry had Director Bones notify Lord Black about the laws and the kidnapping. She also told him to come to the trial if not already told to. He said he needed a portkey but Harry told him to come to the school. Lord Black was intimidated by the inside of the ship. So many shiny things and so much information on each screen. He sat at the table and talked with Harry about his parents, even brought some pictures.
Harry explained that the actions by his father was that of a bully. Metra kept looking at the Lord with a scrunched face. She signed to Harry who looked confused too. "Are you related to the Malfoys?"
"Narcissa Malfoy was a Black, my cousin. She is Draco's mother." Harry nodded but saw Metra point to him and Sirius. The man laughed. "Your grand mother was Dorea Black so yes there is some relation. Harry I did ask the Goblins to get something to you but they said only a goblin can hand it to you. Your Family Lordship ring holds great power in our world so if it accepts you then it adds more weight to the guilty."
"I will only accept it if it does not tie me down to this mockery of society. I will not be staying here." Harry's conviction was understandable, Sirius was out of the picture for so long and even if the manipulating Dumbledore was the reason he stayed there...it was still his actions that got him there.
"Harry. Look just do me a favor. If I should die without an heir then come back and get all the Black family monies and items and properties and give them to some one who deserves them or liquidate them and spend the wealth where ever it is needed. Thats all I ask."
Metra trilled and hugged Harry. "She said shopping." Sirius laughed as well. "A toast to women and their nature no matter where they are from." Metra froze with tears in her eyes then tackled Sirius. Harry told him that the moment he considered her just another woman was the moment he had a new friend.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The ship landed in a designated area and cloaked. The cars nearby drove the group to the Headquarters and they were lead inside. The man at the entrance desk asked to see there wands. After Bones and Black handed them over the man looked at the other three. Samus grinned as she held out her arm, then activated her armor. The kids followed next and confused the poor man. Sirius took pity on him and explained the all there abilities were wandless or channeled through these cannons.
As they entered the room in full armor, the trio sat beside Lord Black and Director Bones. The translations spells they learned the day before were programmed into the suits and the helmets added scanning and scripting of the trial. Metra was using sign to speak her feelings and sensations.
The trial was not anything like they were used to and the idea that these people still used lawyers was annoying. Harry had told the others at Hogwarts that they did not have lawyers. If a person cannot prove their innocence in their own words then they are guilty. If they have to have help due to age or disability then that is a witness. If someone is willing to be paid to prove guilt or innocence then that person must also accept the punishment of their client, even death verdicts.
When Malfoy was brought to trial he claimed he followed the rules of a duel but when a pensive was used to show the first spell as well as the acid and even one to show the poison he tried to use on Bones, he started to claim the duel was invalid as his opponent was not even using a wand. Aran was called forward and as he dropped the left arm armor, he held out his bare hand palm up. The Lumos spell was larger and brighter than anyone could believe and done wandless as well as word less.
Needless to say the charges stuck. His sons denial of the spells was useless in the face of multiple pensive and viewpoints all hearing and seeing the Dark spells. His fate was as bad as his fathers.
Lord Black grinned as he told Bones that now he could have Narcissa turn all evidence she needed in as her Marriage was now voided. But first she was going to do some monies and properties transfers."
When the time for the Ministry's trial arrived they were to take a break. Metra was on edge as she felt the negative intent of several people trying to surround them.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
