Chapter 13

Scepter of Darkness

Summary: Time has been altered in the interest of the cunning defeater of Voldemort, Dumbledore had no idea this would happen and he wasn't able to stop the plan now the timeline has been altered. Peril is on the horizon of this future, beware the wrath of the dragon.

Helltanz's notes: I don't know if I stated this yet, but on the subject of super weapons the US will not have a weather control machine or a chronosphere, and the Soviet Union won't have the Iron Curtain, well actually, the Iron Curtain device, they won't have, any way Yuri's Psychic technology and cloning tech doesn't exist, mainly cause Yuri doesn't exist, basically the biggest sci fi super weapon present will be those dealing with energy weapons, I.E. Orbital Directed Energy Weapons, like the Global Defense Initiative's Ion Cannon of Command and Conquer, or the USA's Particle cannon of Command and Conquer Generals.

On the subject of Blood, which will make its first appearance in three years, story time mind you, actually its been referenced already and will again in this chapter, but besides the point I am mostly sticking to Anime and movie canon, but I will use some Novel canon, this will not make immediate sense because Novel and Anime are different canon, Alternate Universe, but it will make sense when we get there.

Introduction

"After initial contact was made with Themyscira the progress was slowly made to bring their technology up to 'modern' standards, the English wanted no part in this, while the Americans were sort of amiable to helping out, and Axis assistance varied by member nation. The Hardliners still exist, but then again they are quasi immortal. After its formal recognition by the United Nations, which is as is now has basically no authority other than being symbolic, lets not bring up the eighties incident shall we, continuing on Relation ships between the nations stabilized, Themyscira still remained isolationist, and by that I mean it the City state didn't openly accept any one but the diplomatic staff, men especially until the nineties. Hitler never stepped onto the Island, of course he had intended to, however his untimely demise ruined that plan, Stalin made the trip once, actually praising the sense of living, the whole community thing I imagine, though I doubt he approved of the hierarchy but he got along, better than Adolf would have.

Joseph Welch, special counsel for the Army of the United States of America, lashes out at Senator Joseph McCarthy during hearings on whether Communism has infiltrated the Army. Rather amusing. June twenty seventh of the year nineteen fifty four, Guatemalan President Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán steps down in a Central Inteligence Agency sponsored military coup–Operation PBSUCCESS–triggering a bloody civil war that would continue for more than 35 years. On a slightly more postive not the United States of America and the Empire of Japan continue to build stronger relations during this time period.

July twenty first, similar to the previous timeline, the country of Vietnam is divided into two administrative regions North and South in an attempt to contain the northern rebels, the US the first stages of the Vietnam conflict by transferring troops. The Iwo Jima memorial is commemorated in fifty four as well, in this time line however the battle was extended heavily it was a protracted Naval battle as well as island storming the American won the battle eventually not with out great costs, further pushes would fail, due to the Presence of combined force groups, Imperial Japan and Orden troops, the Montana's saw their first real battles against the Yamato class shortly after Iwo Jima. The United States Senate votes sixty nine to twenty to condemn Joseph McCarthy for "conduct that tends to bring the Senate into dishonor and disrepute." Two more voted against him than in the previous time line.

January ninteen fifty five Pentagon announces that the United States has to developed ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles) armed with nuclear weapons, a little late the other two major world powers, the USSR and the Axis as a whole, have already completed the task a few weeks prior, and the Orden, and by extension Dracaena, have already possessed the missiles for some time.

Nothing terribly important occurred and so began the year nineteen fifty six. More nuclear testing occurs in the Pacific by all powers. Development of other advanced weapons, Weapons grade Tesla technology by the Soviet Union and Prisim Technolgy developed by the Americans for example, continues. The death Penalty is not abolished in Britain or its territories, the bill failed to pass the house of commons, so the House of Lords did not need to say Nay to the bill. Eisenhower is reelected as president of the United States of America well and that marked another boring year, besides the continuing strengthening of the military and the Empires defenses, though its better that it was boring world wide excitement is to much trouble.

I covered most of the events of fifty seven in my previous monologue, but there are a few I omitted. The United States begins to construct more missiles and fall out shelters in the event that nuclear war ever occurs. Also with the confirmation of the ADORE Abilities they enter production. The other major military assets continued, the Leopard Three, of the previous timeline, became the Leopard Two of this time line, thought certain designs are different the Leopard two of this Timeline is slightly larger to allow for technology of this time line to be incorporated also because it has heavy armor, it is a Tank of Axis Germany after all.

Weapons research continued, and everyone ignored the scientific community and any body else who spoke out against developing nuclear weapons, or any other weapons for that matter. Keh like that would ever happen Humanities' most base instincts lead to conflict it is humanities nature, both good and evil instincts lead to war this is our fate, I will endure a hundred thousand conflicts, and as long as some thing exists to challenge a human group, be it a tribe, or be it an Empire, war will exist, if a single body could be created then it might be possible for Earth to be at peace but such thing is impossible with out great and terrible actions, and such a thing on a galactic scale is impossible, so in the end war is some thing mankind must be resolute for conflict will never disappear. An endless waltz humanity dances war follows peace, which followed war, so is humanities fate. But alas no more such sentiments, onwards we go, on January thirty first of nineteen fifty eight, America finally got their first satellite up. April 4-April 7 the first protest march for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament from Hyde Park, London to Aldermaston, Berkshire. Demonstrators demand ban of nuclear weapons, the whole Axis high command laughs its ass off at England's problem like any of the Axis or the Americans, for that matter, would ever agree to such a thing. A formal North American Aerospace Defense Command agreement is signed between the United States and Canada.

Onto the glossing over the events of nineteen hundred fifty nine, the investigation that had been going on since the beginning of the Nazi rise continued, however not important by itself but more important was the fact was the fact the investigation reopened the case of the assassination of Martin Bormann after an incident on a US Airbase in Japan, see the aforementioned treaty in nineteen fifty four between the Empire of Japan and the United States of America. This string of murders will lead to cause of the opening of a second task force that exists and is still operating to this day, on a side note Essex was very interested in the genetic information. I will start now concerning the briefing."

Asran pulled his great coat on, attaching the Drachenorden ouroboros, officially the previous nights Nuremburg rally was to celebrate the Axis itself, however in truth it had quickly turned into a mock the English Rally, with sumptious amounts of praise heaped upon the military of the Reich. Asran unsealed the daily briefing folder and read over it in his mind. 'Soviet Pacific Surface commenses trills, United States transfers troops to Vietnam. Empire of Japan and United States of America conclude negotiations on a favorable note.' Asran eyes swept over the details. 'Military base construction highly likely to be present in final agreement. I don't Hitler, or Stalin for that matter will be pleased.' Thought the leader of the order of the Dragon. 'Tesla experiments continuing in Russia, technology is cheap to produce and useful, technology shows high propability of weapons grade usage.' This page came attached with a series of pictures including one of a tower like structure. 'Report on Allied Directed Energy Weapon Program. Mirror refraction, and so it is proven that little man einstein is indeed working on the project.' "Hitler won't be pleased about that either."

"So the allies are nervous, it would appear." Commented Radu.

"Yes Space programs aren't moving as fast as the United States would like, so ICBMs are also behind, it doesn't help them that their Rocket technology is lagging as well…" Asran paused. "But they'll catch up capitalism motivates."
"You'll note that Themyscira industrial building commenced, power generation facilities were compelted yesterday."
"I think it was Stalin's way of approving of their communal style of living, or pissing of the english."

"They do have a nice work ethic Tovares. Though it might be a while till they have replaced their navy with Iron clads, or in this case Adimantium war ships."
"Stupid Vault of plenty, doesn't help there all quasi immortal." Stated Asran. "About the missiles?"
"The United States is starting and the USSR and the other central Axis have also begun."

Asran buffed his finger nails they were sharper than any human nial had any right to be. "What about the other organizations?"

"The joint investigation" by join investigation the vampire was refering to the to the investigation operated together by the GRU, KGB, SS, Gestapo, the Orden Investigantion Division, as well as Japan and the other Asix SS equivalents. "is continuing, most non axis supporting cells have been dealt with that we have encountered, though the main body of the Rosicrucian, or more popularly known Illimunati have proven a severe nuicance though most their European bases, though for the most part they have attempted to relocate to the United States." Stated the Baron of Luxor. "With mixed results as most of the Venatori were eliminated quickly."

It was true for an organization so old as the Venatori, short for the Venatori Umbrorum, was one of the militant arms of the Illuminati had been quickly dealt with early in the days of the Drachen Orden as had several other sects by the SS and Thule Society, it would seem they never planned from an attack from both within and out, forces all that was truly left were the remaining dens, it hadn't hurt the investigation that one of the key leaders had been a German Bishop who had been spying for the Rosicrucian on the Vatican, albeit the man's entire mind had been ripped apart but the information received was genuine but if the mystic group had move across the Atlantic it would be a definite problem.

Radu continued. "However the Magical government of America retaliated."
Asran raised an eyebrow. "The Rosicrucian attempted a take over the CIA with the blessing of the American government cracked down, so they have made no head way in the magical community and no additional movements in the non magical world."

"Hmm, just wait till liberalism shows up in America, they will resurge." Grumbled the duke of Kiev. "none the less what of the others, any thing of interest?"

"Two organizations originally the SS were interested in the large amount of wealth they had accumulated and the fact they were of Jewish ancestry, apparently however during the war the head of party chancellery Martin Bormann ordered the investigation stopped into one of the groups, Cinq Fleches, Heinrich wanted the investigation reopend after the murder."

Asran frowned. "Keep me posted on this."

"As you wish Tovares."

"Thank you Radu."

"I would make haste Tovares you have do have a national address to give." Reminded the Vampire.

A column of Dracaena tanks parades through the main street. Asran stepped out on to the balcony joining Gellert, zero and Ein.

Zero smirked.

"So uncle are you coming to teach at Durmstrang?" asked Ein.

"Are you crazy?" demanded Zero pulling his winter coat closer. "Uncle is much to be busy leading the Drachen orden and Dracaena. He doesn't have near enough time to teach a bunch of-"

Ein snarled and swatted Zero.

Gellert cleared his throat before Zero could finish his objection. "Both of you act right."

Asran turned to face Grindelwald. "How are the others proceeding?"

"Adolf just finished his speech, und Helena activated the reactor at Cairo around the same time you finished your speech." The death eyed knight nodded. "Stalin is giving his speech now, so how long do you think it will take?"

Asran blinked. "Pardon?"

"Till Poland joins the Germanic Kingdom." Elaborated the leader of the Thule Society.

"I would say nineteen hundred sixty four at the latest, Gellert. Where are Heinrich and Kemmler?"

"They got called away to Gaul from Carthage, Donitz is in Carthage by the way."

Asran nodded. "What happened?"
"The French Resistance, the magical one, attempted to disrupt a party meeting, unfortunately they picked the wrong one."
"Thule Society?"

"Und SS as well." Stated Grindelwald. "It was a explosion spell that drew Kemmler."
"They missed hit a civilian building." Stated Asran

"Yes." Acknowledged the Dark lord.

"So what is the emergency, it must not be terribly concerning sense warning sirens haven't gone off yet?"

"That's just it my lord, it is not so much that it will lead to war but it does sharpen a sword." Stated the other knight.

"Well don't keep me in suspense." Stated the Duke of Kiev

"The Soviets have developed a new submarine engine."
"Oh?"
"Tesla power, they were further along than we originally thought, the engine is much more efficient and safe than their nuclear reactors, in fact its almost completely silent..." Kampfer smirked. "Or to the Americans it would seem to be a ghost. We can detect it but I am worried about the other Axis."

"I suppose you are right. Any thing else about the technology?"

"They built a tank, using the technology, in place of conventional weapons it uses a tesla weapon to fire electricity it can fire on two different frequencies, but also they seem to be making strides in robotics as well nothing terribly concerning at the moment but it shows promise."

The duke of Kiev nodded.

"What of the Apocalypse?"

"Their new tank, it's a tad slow, especially in comparison to the Aria, which as smaller,"
"it isn't that much smaller mein herr." Stated Kampfer

"Is still very dangerous, depleted uranium shells in such a large caliber, they make an interesting march."

Chapter conclusion

Helltanz's notes: During last chapter's introduction Asran (Harry) mentions that no member of the Tripartie pact member (That's the Axis powers) recognizes the authority of the International Atomic Energy Agency, meaning most of Northern Africa, and Almost all of Europe and all of Asia don't abide by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Also I may or may not open a forum up for this story, leave a coment one way or another, and I'll decide from that.

Also the most of the United States aircraft carriers prior to the building of the USS Forrestal began in nineteen fifty one, are the United States Class Supercarriers, which in reality never entered service because of objections by the Airforce and Army, these were ignored in the story because of the Prussia class super carriers as well as the Orden's UNITs.

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, Roosevelt will likely die oh somewhere in the seventies and a decade later for Grindelwald)

Five votes for

Moderate Future: Nazi's still in power, the Axis states are all allied together in a confederation (Grindelwald will likely be alive though also Roosevelt will survive longer than in reality, maybe mid sixties he will be out of office by then, Hitler will be dead make no mistake, this is true for all timelines, in this one Donitz will succeed him as Chancellor of the Reich, he will be dead by the time we get back to the present, also the Russian Federation, well they won't be exactly the same after the fall of communism in the nineties)

Eight votes 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, the non M rated Harsh future will if written will feature all Axis states united in one large multi continental empire, meaning a tightly unified (Roosevelt will survive longer than in reality, Hitler is succeeded after his death by a leader who wished to build the Third Reich into the greatest empire to ever exist, additionally the US will expand to encompass both American Continents)

Two vote for

Comic Merger (It will only be DC and Marvel) (This will end around the nineties)

One Vote for

One Vote against
