At last, the confrontation. The first battle between our heroes and the Cabal. Enjoy!
The planet Mustafar, a volcanic planet located in the Outer Rim. Near the slope of a nearby volcano, the portal from Vorton opened. Harry stepped out from the portal and looked around. Ron and Hermione followed soon after, though Ron was looking a little green in the face. "Boy. Professor Paradox wasn't kidding when he said this planet was volcanic." Harry said. "Yeah. I'll bet the whole planet's covered in volcanos." Ron added. "Harry!" Hermione called as she pointed to the other side of the slope. Harry turned to see.
A small dark cloud formed just above the rock. Harry's scar began to hurt again after a long time as the cloud began to change shape. And there, in the cloud's place, stood him. Tom Marvolo Riddle a.k.a. Lord Voldemort, smiling wickedly at his old adversaries. Harry's team started gather around Harry's side, glaring at the Dark Lord. At the same time, El Jefe Slurhk and Witty Phantom joined Voldemort at his side, preparing for battle.
"So, after all this time, across the multiverse, here we finally meet again Harry Potter." Voldemort said as Harry glared. "Face to face. Tooth to claw. I'm sure some of your new friends are familiar with some of mine." "Been a long time Sly Cooper. And to you Carmelita Fox. Or should I say Carmelita Cooper now?" El Jefe asked. "I will see you rot back in your jail cell El Jefe!" Carmelita said. "Slurhk! First you side with Chaor, and now you join with evil from other universes?!" Maxxor asked. "Better this than living in peace with those thieving Mipedians, Maxxor!" Slurhk yelled. "That's a nice suit Mr. Witty Phantom. I'd almost hate to get it dirty." George said. "Not as dirty as yours'll get, when I splatter your blood all over!" Witty Phantom chuckled. "Well, now that pleasantries are out of the way, have you anything to say Harry?" Voldemort asked. "Nothing that would be worth saying around my friends. Let's DO IT!" Harry shouted.
Harry's team charged forward as Voldemort's Cabal charged back. Both teams collided with great force. As Voldemort recovered from the collision, Harry threw a punch, upper cutting the Dark Lord and knocking him back down.
Sly and Carmelita engaged against El Jefe. El Jefe drew one of his katanas and repeatedly clashed with Sly's staff. "You've gotten a lot better, despite your so-called 'retirement', Sly Cooper." El Jefe stated as he continued to swing his katana at his foe. "Yeah, well Carmelita taught me a few tricks since I retired from thieving, Jefe." Sly said, blocking every blow. Carmelita came onto the right and flew a kick at the tiger, but he caught her and tossed her down. "I even heard you 2 have a child. Perhaps when I'm done with you and your friends, I'll request to pay him a visit myself!" He taunted. That got both Sly and Carmelita very mad. But before they could do anything, El Jefe got hit from behind, sending him into the rocks. Sly and Carmelita turned to see Luna holding up her wand. "Take it from someone who was targeted and held prisoner by a villain as blackmail for her father, it's not fun." She said.
Tangath Toborn and Slurhk faced off. "Come Tangath. If freezing yourself in Glacier Plains killed you once, then you will freeze again." Slurhk taunted. "You're all talk Slurhk. Has Chaor taught you nothing when you defected?" Tangath asked insultingly. Slurkh growled and fired Ektospasm from his mouth, hitting Tangath in the chest and sending him into the volcanic rock. Najarin tried to slow Slurhk down with Paral-Eyes, but being an excellent burrower, Slurhk dug into the rock, avoiding the attack. Najarin quietly prepared himself for the upcoming strike, knowing Slurhk's style of attacking his prey. Suddenly, a Rustoxic attack came from under Najarin, immobilizing the older Overworlder. "You're running out of moves at your age, Najarin." Slurhk said, coming out of the ground. "Then let's try some new moves." Intress called. "Hail Storm!" She spun like a top, blowing the Hailstorm from her hands like a tornado towards her enemy. Slurhk was caught in the twirling storm and was left in a dizzying state. "Is that all you got?" He asked, slowly coming around. "Not even close." Maxxor said. Slurhk saw him stand on one side of him and Tangath Toborn on the other. "Lavalanche!" They both called, firing streams of lava from their hands at Slurhk. The collision caused and explosion, sending Slurhk crashing at the summit of the volcano. Tom came from behind a rock and walked up to his OverWorlder friends. "You were right, Tom. That move does work." Maxxor said, fist-bumping Tangath and Tom.
George was blasted into the rocks. "George!" Angelina called, running over to help him. George recovered and they both glared at the advancing Witty Phantom. Seamus, Dean, Cho, Parvati and Padma lay on the ground behind him. "I heard you and your brother had your own joke shop before he died." The spiffy dressed fiend elf said. "Well, my jokes are a bit more fatal!" He tossed 2 daggers at the 2 young wizards. They scattered out of the way as the daggers hit the rock. "Ah, ah, ah. You haven't been excused yet." He was about to throw another dagger. "Expelliarmus!" Someone yelled, disarming it from his hand. He stared in surprising shock at his hand then jerked his head to who cast the spell. Neville and Ginny stood in his sight, holding up their wands. Neville casted the disarming spell. "Reducto!" Ginny called with a flick of her wand. The ground beneath Witty Phantom went ka-boom, sending him flying off.
Voldemort stood up, recovering from the blow Harry gave him and drew his wand. "ENOUGH!" He yelled, creating a barrier that pushed everyone else back. But Peyton just ran scared from the barrier. "Why am I the only one running?!" He asked. Now, both Harry and Voldemort stood inside the barrier, blocking any access to anyone on the outside. "HARRY!" Hermione yelled as she and Ron pounded the barrier. The others attempted the same, but didn't make a single crack.
Harry ducked behind a big rock that was in the barrier as Voldemort threw his killing curse at him. "Don't you turn your back at me again, Harry Potter! I want to face you the way it was meant to be! Just you and me!" Voldemort called. Harry, knowing that there was no other choice, grunted a nod and walked out to face his enemy. "Have it your way." He said. The others looked on in worry. "Just lower the barrier. They know this isn't their fight." Voldemort smiled and lowered the barrier. Harry's friends gathered back behind Harry as El Jefe, Slurhk and Witty Phantom struggled back up to their boss. Harry and Voldemort then raised their wands preparing for the moment of truth.
"EXPELLIARMUS!" "AVADA KEDAVRA!" They both yelled as their spells collided. The collision gave off a big energy burst that sent a big dust ring almost across the entire planet. They both struggled to push each other's spells back at the other. Harry's friends watched as the wind from the battle blew through their hair. Ginny looked especially worried for her boyfriend. She wanted to help, but she knew it wasn't her fight. "Do nothing! He's mine to finish!" Voldemort yelled to his Cabal. Suddenly, a familiar white dome appeared over the 2 wizards as Voldemort began to lose. "He's mine!" He grunted as his wand began to regurgitate. Then suddenly, a white spirit flew from his wand and appeared before the 2 groups. "Cedric?" Cho asked in shock, recognizing the spirit as her old deceased boyfriend, Cedric Diggory. Another spirit, an old muggle caretaker named Frank Bryce, appeared as well. "What's happening?! What is happening?!" Slurhk asked in shocking fear. "Priori Incantatem." Hermione said in awe and realization. Finally, the spirits of Harry's deceased parents, James and Lily, appeared beside Harry. "Harry, when the connection is broken you and your team have to get back to the portal to Vorton!" James explained. "We can hold them off for a few minutes as we did back in Riddle's graveyard, but only a few! That should give you and your friends enough time to escape! Do you understand?" Harry nodded. "Cho, take care of your friends." Cedric said to Cho. "Protect them as they protect you." Cho nodded with tears in her eyes. "Mum, am I ready?" Harry asked. "Yes, sweetheart. You're ready." Lily answered. "Let go, Harry. Let go!"
As Harry broke off the battle, the spirits flew towards the Cabal, blinding them in a fog veil. Harry then turned to his team of friends. "Everyone, back to Vorton! Now!" He called. They turned and ran back for the portal. One by one, they ran through. Harry leapt in as it closed. Voldemort and his Cabal broke through the fog veil and searched around for their foes, but they saw that they were gone. "NOOOOOO!" Voldemort screamed in defeat!
