Chapter 5
Scepter of Darkness
Summary: Harry had a completely different experience of childhood. The wizarding world, would have been unprepared and caught completely unaware by a Potter who had mastered the underworld and the way of manipulation. They never got a chance he traveled back in time to increase his powers.
Helltanz's notes: Examples of territorial borders difference in the future Harsh future = The Empire of the Reich (Nazi Germany) would control all of mainland Eurasia, including the Soviet Union once we get back to present time, almost half of Africa will be under Nazi control. Benevolent Future France and Spain are independent countries in the future; the Russian Federation exists after the fall of the Soviet Union, thought the Ukraine and certain other Soviet are part of the Reich. Moderate Reality Spain is free, Russia is Free, half of France is under Nazi control, and all of Northern Africa is under Reich control. Helena is Sehkmet's name, as she can't go around being called Sehkmet now can she?

Introduction

"After China fell I remained a while, dealt with rebels, had to avoid a few assassination attempts but the plan remained on schedule. The war is going quite well though with the Magic and Muggle united government of America being the only true major power left on the Allies' side, though on the magical front England claimed it was still a major force stating the Americans were a minor force, despite them suffering major causalities to Axis aligned Magical troops, not limited to solely SS, Thule society or Order of the Dragon troops.
The US military were the only non Axis force who allowed their other humans breeds, werewolves or varying types, vampires, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, to actively participate in the war, making them the only allied nation to do so, it was common practice in Axis military to allow it and indeed encouraged the practice, England and France's resistance labeling them as dark creatures.
September eighth saw the first major all German constructed missile attack on England. As in the original timeline operation Margaret Garden failed, and resulted in allied withdrawal on September twenty sixth.
The Africa campaign ends with total victory over the allies due to superior German forces and the use of the efficient use of UNIT Three under the Desert Fox's commands, he is awarded the rank of Marshal of the Empire, and installed as the military head of all German forces stationed in the Africa.
The European theater has been reduced to almost and entirely naval and air battle both well within the favor of Axis favor. Following my return to Europe Orden UNIT Two wipes out the Allied flotilla near Normandy. While around the same time the battle in the western Atlantic Ocean sees battles between Bismarck and other German surface ships along with the new American super battleship class the Montana and other US surface ships.
Meanwhile the US continues their research into nuclear technology. In the Atlantic Japan and the US continue to slug it out Japan's Yamato class do not fair nearly as well as the Bismarck class against the Montana class battleships, USS George destroys two Yamato's at the battle of the Philippines before suffering its destruction at the hands of UNIT Six's Railguns.
July sixteenth the Trinity test occurs in New Mexico.
USS Jefferson and USS Abraham pursue the UNIT in retaliation along with the rest of their escorts, they manage to bring UNIT Six's shield down to eight percent using a new prototype nuclear shell, before they are destroyed by the newly arrived UNIT Seven and her Submarine escorts who unleashes a full force attack from their weapons in a pincer attack with UNIT Six. USS Atlanta destroys the Imperial Japanese sixth fleet with a nuclear bomb.
The Soviet begin their own nuclear testing needless to say Hitler is furious. After the attack Order begins to start full scale military operations in the Pacific.
Orden Fighter aircraft retaliate by heavily bombing the second Pacific fleet of the United States of America, Central and South America countries begin to be bombed by Axis forces, the Prussia, Germany's first super aircraft carrier is deploy in late August to the region. America continues to suffer losses in the Pacific in their incursions the Allies are considering Hitler's latest peace overture but hostilities show no sign of ending.
The Americans are the only ones who have acknowledged the Order as a separate power with in the Axis military force. England, still with Churchill as Prime Minister as opposed to the Original timeline, continues to vainly defend their island nation against the jet fighters of the German air force, however the English are nearing the completion of their first fighter jet, though it is technologically on par with the world war two fighter jets of the Nazis of my original timeline.
The Americans are slightly farther ahead than the English in Jet Fighters, they've already entered use by the United States Navy air corp. as well as the American Air Force.
Though it still hasn't evened the playing field in the air, given the German air force is technologically equivalent to later cold war level aircraft, and my Order of the Dragon is flying aircraft that was state of the art prior to my jump to the past.
December witnesses the worst the US technology is growing still they are now equivalent to the early fifties, a similar level to Japan and Italy. On the note of Japan, the country has completed its fortification project on both its continental territories and its homeland territories.
The US launches USS Albacore, she would be the test bed for the future of the new line of US submarines. Order of the Dragon begins the final procedures before beginning the construction of the OWS Scinfaxi and OWS Hrimfaxi super Submarines.
At the same time the Order begins developing Orbital weapons platforms, in the event of a Goa'uld incursion after we detected a hyperspace window opening via the now completed satellite network. Stalin, Hirohito, plus the Four of us all attend the new timelines equivalent of the Yalta conference of the original timeline, though in the original timeline it was, the Yalta conference, a meeting of allied leaders to divide up the defeated Axis state, its held aboard UNIT Eight the conference was for the strengthening of the Axis forces after the war and the maintaining of good relations.
The final notable thing of these last two years is the Orden's own fortification program between Germany and the Soviet Union intelligence has stated the Soviets have been improving their tank technology as well research into missiles and a startling use of Tesla technology as a military weapon. The same is also true of the United States their own technology is also differing from the original timeline in its research goal. The Order expects both countries to have ballistics missiles with in the decade. Germany has also improved its Panzer force, introduces the Leopard I model C. I will resume the story of the war it is shortly after the conquest of China."

The first attacker had been struck by a blast of lightning from Asran the man was charred by immense voltage fired from the order of the dragon leader. Asran snarled avoiding the knife and then slamming the would be assassin's head into the stone wall.
The man's skull gave a sickening crunch as it cracked under the blow and Asran's inhuman strength. Two more gunmen fell, sliced in half, to Asran's free hand. The SS men rounded up the living. The populous stared at the display. Asran straightened his great coat and turned on his heel.
Most wizards of China had seen not Asran in combat not yet at least and not that many had who weren't in the Thule society or Orden were familiar with his capacities.
A blast of lighting projected from an unknown wizard's mouth, the same wizard demonstrating strength easily far greater than a transformed werewolf alpha, was bound to attract attention, if the allied wizards got word of this well, the allied nations magical population didn't care about advanced muggle weapons, except the American's, their nation's two sides having long standing ties thanks to Washington, but the other nations governed by more traditional politics would be even more paranoid.
Grindelwald and Kemmler were major German sorcerers, and the Order of the Dragon was not well known by the magical allies, again minus the Americans, since they killed the majority of any one who saw them in action, the rest of the allies chalked it up to an elite group within the Thule society, America knew better with their muggle counterparts experience with Orden in the Pacific recently.
"Herr
Asran I demand an explanation on why I was not briefed, on the fact
you you're an Ubermecsh." Practically screeched the head SS
officer.
Asran ignored the man's ranting about how it was such
an insult he had not been properly briefed. "It was expected you
knew the Order of the Dragon is primarily made up of advanced
humans." The leader of the Order of the Dragon drawled in an
unconcerned manner.
The SS commander sputtered, something about damned paper clerks in Berlin.
"But you are correct we will need to look into the matter as a member of the SS you should have been aware before you were even given your command." Stated Asran opening his offices file cabinet, withdrawing several folders. "Read these distribute to those with appropriate security clearance. I need to have a word with Heydric about this incident, one would think we would have had this conversation sooner. Guten Tag."
"Guten Tag herr Asran." Waved the SS man cheerily, in a content manner, his worries soothed away.
"Nice job mien Herr." Greeted a cheerful voice. "That idiot doesn't even realize he was completely sidetracked."
While he agreed it didn't do well to cause tension amongst the ranks. "Dietrich, let us not speak ill of our SS comrades not all of them are blessed by Heydric's efficiency." The old time traveler remarked
"Heydric this, its always Heydric's efficiency you make no mention of the fact he has no manners or social ability its always an interrogation with him."
He smirked, "No one is perfect, he does however get the job done."

Shangri-la 2
The war was proceeding smoothly, if you could call it that,.China had been pacified and was now a functioning Reich state. Asran's return in late September of Forty four had seen the use of UNIT Two to destroy an Allied naval group. Asran stowed the paper in the file cabinet.
Asran sighed reading the next file US and Axis forces were exchanging ever increasing blows just recently resorting to the use of a nuclear bomb, to destroy a Japanese fleet, the Soviets were according to the next file nearing a test of a similar yield weapon.
"Grandmaster. Intelligence report from the Soviet Union."
Asran accepted the file and opened it. "Weapons grade Tesla technology. Tank advancements, Project RHINO. Red Navy Typhoon development program." Asran read through the files.
Before putting beside a File of similar value concerning the American's endeavors to create their own wonder weapons.
Right now things were going better for the allies as far as the war went, yes the Axis were winning and yes things had gotten screwed up, but they had begun building up their own technology and the air campaign was getting more difficult.
Said battles were mainly in intercepting each other's forces, disasters like Dresden were for the most part avoided however there were attempts by both sides to attack civilian targets with incendiary bombs.
As in the beginning of the war the forces of the Order even supplemented by their auxiliaries and the advancements in weapons and technology handed off to forces of the German army it was still a limited number that were available to be deployed to intercept the allied strikes.
In contrast the Allies had hardened Britian more than that they had a much smaller area to defend against Axis air forces, and they had made important gains in anti air emplacements. England could now be called a truly hardened fortress.
Even though the land war appeared mostly over there were still project going on, some were to further update the Axis military and others to sate the interest of certain party members or army generals.

The P1000 super heavy tank rumbled to life with a roaring of its two twenty four cylinder diesel engines.
Its immense twenty eight centimeter 54.55 SK C/34 Naval guns shifted trailing and drawing a bead on the axis leaders the turret spat an incendiary shell, which sailed to high the flames melted the concrete with sparkling blue white flames.
The second shell caught the grandmaster of the drachenorden in the shoulder turning and sending the immortal skidding.
Grindelwald raised a high level magical shield around the other leaders, as the demon blade Gram pulsed malevolently from its place at the duke of Kiev's side.
Now even most magical blades are not totally sentient there were however exceptions typically more powerful magical artifacts over time developed some level of though or consciousness. In this case the sword, which had served as the time traveler's signature weapon for the past three wars was furious at being attacked.
Asran's shirt and great coat had been devoured by the flames but the tongues found little purchase amongst immortal's flesh, doing little more than tanning the death eyed knight's skin.
Energy scattered out in a tempest of colorfully exited particles. With in only a few seconds the radiation cleaved through the tank's armor causing it to explode violently under the assault.
The OSS agent scrambled reaching for his pistol as his fell out the back hatch, the first soared high over the time traveler's head.
In a flash the Weyland forged weapon emerged cleaving through flesh, muscle and bone like air. The blade returned to its sheath as the adrenaline thundering in his veins began to slow and the last of the flames died away.
The death eyed knight frowned at the damage to his wardrobe of the most notable scars two on the left side of his back were particularly noticeable each was about two centimeters in length and each was as wide as the tip of the blade of a scythe, the scars were approximately nine millimeters apart and directly over time traveler's Subclavian artery a third injury from an invader had dug a bit further south, around the area of the lower thoracic vertebrae.
In the Damnation war scarring from the Enemy was common more importantly the armored coats had been meant to keep people alive from armor piercing weapons not absorb the flames from naval grade incendiary weapons. The later fact was one that might have to be addressed later on.

Germany, Berlin
Asran moved gracefully up the steps of the German Capital building. Blitzjager saluted the approaching officer by this point news of operation Midgardsormir had spread across the new Reich and was well received by all.
The floors were polished marble and made such an ever delightful clicking sound as Asran walked, not nearly as a delightful sound as Asran's boots against cobblestone, but enjoyable.
"Your late."
Removing a hand from his jacket, the one he was wearing till he got a replacement for his great coat, he waved her off. "The meeting doesn't actually start till eleven, Helena." Chided Asran.
"Asran."
Came Grindelwald's glee filled greeting. "Excellent your both
here Adolf is already in the meeting room."
The meeting hall was
quite professional, albeit it had a few very nice pictures, it was a
deep almond in color.
The meeting was in preparation for the upcoming one in September. That meeting would be of all world leaders. Officially the ceasefire wouldn't start until the ides of July, but already troops were being scheduled for return home, to receive peacetime assignments.
That was not to imply the German army was going to slack off. No definitely not though the war had brought nothing but victory through glorious Aryan science, not really but letting the Nazis keep deluding themselves didn't hurt, and the power of the Fatherland's sons and such there were still issues to deal with.
IN the east particularly the Soviet Union Stalin was paranoid, not an uncommon situation given the man's nature, his scientists and spies, and other experts had no 'safe' explanation for the success of the Imperialist Germans and other plutocrats.
Additionally there was in the Soviet Union both descent and fear growing in regards to the Nazis and anti socialist desires.
Weapons needed to be developed, has said Stalin recently, more like shouted it to the other members of the Party inner circle. The People must be strong, he shouted, more rhetoric followed.
However there was only speculation on what one would need to stop something a massive as the UNITs, and to say nothing of keeping up with the planes of the Germans which flew very fast, or there monster tanks.

"Tonight your reign of terror ends Grindelwald!" shouted a bearded man
Gellert ducked the curse.
"Well this is an interesting show. English from your accents, the war is nearly over you stupid idiot, you government has agreed to a cease fire prior to proceeding a peace treaty. So if you would tell me the name I am to have carved on to your tombstone Mr. Assassin."
"I am Albus Dumbledore." He announced with a large amount of bravado.
The time traveler would play it cool for now. "Asran," He said introducing himself informally. "and you are acquainted I take it with Gellert."
Asran
skillfully evaded another curse, long since used to his body's
inhuman speed. "You should fight only one or the other you might,
and I stress might, be able to defeat Gellert by your self. I how
ever have a god mode cheat on."
…
Sighing he clarified what he meant. "Right, I'm invincible, you know Achilles think like that, or Gawain with his green sash." He stated noting movement from up above, this was the leader of the Thule society's fight not his anyway.
A blast of Gold light erupted from one of the balconies.
"It would appear that Sehkmet has arrived, if there is any thing left of you that isn't microscopic do you have an address I should send it, Dumbledore?" challenged Grindelwald.
Asran turned his head taking a place beside the blonde woman. "Sehkmet leave them to their fight."
The Goa'uld glared.
He ignored the angry look. "I emphasize this fight is important, we only need interfere if Gellert is close to falling."
Dumbledore internally was angry, no pissed, Grindelwald was supposed to be alone so he could dispose of him, and claim the fame that came with it after there was no way that he could loose and then England could crush the Germans.
The duel continued for several minutes the two fairly even, until...

Helltanz's notes: Blitzjager literally Lightning Infantry, they wear a uniform similar to the Gestapo, when in areas where full combat is unlikely to occur in this case Berlin, and carry weapons from the nineteen nineties of the original timeline, a battalion is assigned to Berlin to defend the Reich capital.
The Future: (besides Stargate differences borders will also differ in each future, as will magical-muggle relations)
Benevolent Future: The Nazi succeed however Hitler dies and is replaced by a less Master race leader (Grindelwald dies as well unless people vote they want otherwise additionally Roosevelt will survive longer than in reality)
One vote for
Moderate Future: similar to our time but with the Nazi's still in power (Grindelwald will likely be alive though also Roosevelt will survive longer than in reality)
One vote for
Harsh Future the third Reich is victorious the culture Nazi Empire if this occurs will likely hold some similarities to the Dominion of Draka, it is likely rating will increase to M (Roosevelt will survive longer than in reality)
