Chapter 14
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: Any questions concerning Tesla technology, I will attempt to explain, starting with the following, during the end of world war two, soviet tesla technology was equivocal to that of Red Alert, now at present in the story it is equivalent to Red Alert two.

Introduction

"As I mentioned previously in my last monologue a string of murders occurred at a US Air Force base in Japan, the SS also find it strange, as this investigation is still open most of the details cannot be revealed, however the incident in nineteen hundred fifty nine at the Yokota Airbase in Japan is what sparked the SS's interested in the species which has since been labeled Homo Chiroptera. Apparently they are caste system based, chess pieces oddly enough, pawns, knights, and Queens, pawns are mindless, well in their transformed state, they have not shown any higher thought capabilities. Knights, or as they refer to themselves Chevalier, Knights in French, strong, fast and ability to transform, they are veritably immortal, queens we have only encountered two of, strength and speed they have demonstrated, no other information has been gathered on them. All three castes have exceptional regeneration abilities to the point where most conventional small arms are useless, typically the most successful attacks, those that fell them, come from Orden Rune Blades, or another weapon of bladed design which impedes regeneration.
On less conflict driven matters, you can debate it as you like, Nuclear testing is conducted in the Sahara, this doesn't go over well with the Nuclear watchdogs, or the states in the Sub Saharan Africa, not that any one in the Axis cares they are not our friends. Albeit this line of thinking does eventually cause a war, but that conflict was considered un avoidable by all the powers involved, it was a pity it lack a decisive victory, further blood shed is likely... some time in the present.
In addition to the opening of the investigation in to Chiropterans, we, the Drachen Orden, launched our offensive against the Canadian Division K, as well as began the formal introduction R series SSCN, though smaller than the Halifax and Scinfaxi the R series Submarine Aircraft Carrier provides Dracaena's Naval Air Arm with additional air support. The R series, both first and second variations are still in service to this day, albeit all units in services have since be refitted to better accommodate the F-3. The SSCN R series sacrifices ballistic missile capabilities, though it still possesses regular missile armaments, as well as Railgun emplacements, the latest design model R Series IV typically carries three squadrons, each of sixteen fighters, with room to carry three additional squadrons if necessary. In addition the R series carries unmanned reconnaissance vehicles both aquatic and airborne.
In nineteen fifty five, Dracaena began the preparations for project Genesis, actually that is the name of several projects, but in this case the one in Carthage, otherwise the North African Nationalist States, the project was the testing ground for some of the Orden, or Dracaena States, advanced technologies. The process is driving Quintillions of Nanomachines in to the surface, while the 'salting of Carthage', the old Carthage, by at the conclusion of the third Punic war is mostly figurative, given the price of Salt, and the cities rebuilding by Roman hands. The purpose of the Nanomachines, which are only one part of the Genesis project, is to render the ground permanently fertile, causing the emergence of verdant prairies, this can hopefully be used to keep farmlands functioning despite industrial progress, or prevent desertification. The second portion of project Genesis was the build up of the industrial power of the region.
The Amazons began to set up permanent embassies in 'Man's world'. Himmler starts another crack down against the French Resistance.
With the formation of the Axis empire, changes underwent 'both worlds' wizarding and non magical, at least in Europe or perhaps more accurate Axis, the two worlds were brought closer together, curriculum of wizarding schools, the old and the new, changed, expanding to encompass non magical relevant studies, advanced maths, sciences, technology, history, politics, everything needed to prepare for University. In the magical world wands were not common in the days of men such as Merlin, wands were unnecessary, staves were used only to focus magic to unleash powerful attacks. Eventually Wands emerged as a substitution for the focus and power, the magical circulatory system received less stimulation, wands became common place, and the businesses of Olivander and Gregovitch Families blossomed into powerful entities feuds fought with wands as swords lost favor, save with only the dedicated. We Seek to undo the sin of slothfulness brought on and propagated by a millennia and three hundred years of stagnation of the Wizarding Society. This is not without our own motivation, no other nation, save perhaps the Eagle in the West, we will forge the next generation, and the next generation in to productive members of society, guided and tempered by the fires of the virtues we live by, and should war ignite again we will, the Empire will not be limited to select Orders who are while powerful few in number, we will have divisions of wizards, fighting hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder with Axis soldiers from Carthage to Germanicus, Hispania and A N S troops, Japanese and Gaul, will stand united two 'worlds' many states, that is our goal, and it will not be impeded.
Castro became premier of Cuba, then nearly got assassinated by a CIA sponsored attack, of course the CIA denied any involvement, Bay of Pigs still happened, another attack at the same time as that little plunder, this time they hit the premier of Cuba in the arm.
As side note the prior mentioned changes to school policy were not adopted by the English, yet those sheep still delude themselves with their foolishness, as of late tensions are rather high, particularly these have to come to dangerous levels in the past, African conflicts and then later during the Death Eater uprisings, their academic policy makes their populous easier for the sheep to be controlled by their ministry, or so they would seem to think, Order and authority are ingrained into the Axis. 'Conscription is the duty of all citizens' as the expression goes.
A couple of covert operations begin.
We will start with the briefing of the first of the Yokota Air Force Base incidents."

Europe, Axis Empire, Dracaena States, Ukraine, Kiev, Headquarters of the Order of the Dragon
"Sieg Heil herr Drachen Fuhrer." Greeted the SS officer
"Guten morgen herr Obergruppenführer."
"Report from SS intelligence." Stated the SS general.
"This is from the US airbase in Japan?" Inquired Asran breaking the seal.
The airbase was created as a symbol of good relations… it was the child of the treaty chartered between the Emperor and President Roosevelt it allowed for a base of the American Air force to be constructed on Japanese soil, while one on American soil, a Japanese air force base was constructed. The other Axis leaders had scoffed at the idea, to.
"Yes herr Drachen Fuhrer. It deals with that particular airbase." Grunted the SS General with no little amount of disgust.
The Drachenorden leader reached to the side of his desk producing a similar folder, revealing similar bloody bodies. "Strange for a school to have so many bodies showing up, ne?"
"Indeed."
"... so it appears we might need to investigate further? Since these bodies look like what became of Martin."
In the final year of the second world war Martin Bormann had been killed in a daring assassination on the same night as Dumbledore's attack, given a state funeral, one with a closed casket, had been all that had occurred. With the end of the war the matter hadn't been looked into, it just wasn't that important.
"I'll look into it. This may be a problem of the United States but it may spill into the Axis, and I am curious do you notice something about these photos particularly the cause of deaths of these victims. Claws they were ripped apart… and they are not werewolf claws either… at least not any werewolf breed I know of… these claws… are definetly of a mamilian species's claw shape, but not of Ursine… or lupine… nor feline either… meaning we are looking at a species that we don't think as one with claws that kill."
"You
mean like a giant chipmunk?" suggested the SS general
skeptically.
"I was thinking more along the lines of a bat…
these are very violent crimes… but the blood of the corpses are
being drained of blood."
"A vampire but I thought the bat
affilation was a myth?" he remarked in surprise
"Most vampires
have nothing to do with bats unless its some kind of spell, Alucard
in particular favors this affiliation, along with other familiars…
this seems to imply a species if it is indeed a vampire… a breed
directly biologically related to chiroptera… that is my bet… that
these claws will match a large chiroptera like hand."
"Yes as you say." Agreed the SS general... the man was clearly already dreading explaining this to Himmler.

Axis, Europe, Kingdom Germanicus, Central Germanicus, Germany, Berlin, Axis Headquaters
Asran stared at the Dark coffee in front of him, the aroma emanating from the drink faintly smelled of cinamon. Down below Berlin was fairly busy it seemed lunch was just beginning for every one else as well.
"Asran." Greeted Grindelwald. "Good afternoon." Said the Thule Society Leader. "You have been busy if the rumour is to be believed." He remarked with a smirk and a conspiritorial wink.
Asrand setting his fork still impaling a piece of pasta back on his plate. "I'm quite sure I have no idea what your talking about." He responded.
"Of course I'm very sure… I just heard rumour tell of a mainland baltic sea base for the Dragons, possibly joint or shared base with the Kriegsmarine." The Dark Lord replied.
The Death Eyed knight didn't responde.
"Oh
come one you can tell me old friend."
"You are far to
attentive." Sighed Asran. "There is the possiblilty… one that I
have discussed with Karl mind you nothing is final." The duke of
Kiev stated firmly
Grindelwald chuckled amusedly. "So you say." Below the duo other members of the Axis returned from their favorite cafés with lunches of their own to the Axis Headquarters.
Asran reumed his own lunch.
"So
how is Durmstrang's curriculum policy implementation doing?"
"Done,
response is well." Asran replied. The Duke of Kiev swallowed
another piece of Pasta.
"So when is the trip to Cuba?" inquired Gellert.
"Well I leave Tuesday," stated Asran. "Stalin won't actually arrive until the Thursday after that Tuesday, though." He commented
"The Ambassador arrives today." Remarked Grindelwald.
Asran again set his fork aside. "That is true." He acknowledged. "The first crown sponsored venture in to 'man's world'."
"How is Draceana responding?" inquired the Thule society leader.
"Better
than most of the Euro Axis Powers I would imagine. We suffered no
fatalities on Draceana soil, the shelters did their jobs though
several knights were injured crittically our medical technology
allowed them to return to active service fairly quickly. It won't
relations much, about the other members."
"The Axis?" as
Asran's nod Gellert resumed speaking. "As you know Japan is
neutral on the subject, the western European members will either
follow Germanicus or Draceana's respective leads, assuming they
differ in action. Carthage and Egypt are still unsure, the Arab
states will more than likely be split between who to support if you
and Hitler disagree on policy direction," Grindelwald paused. "The
Asiatic National Union isn't exactly interested on the issue,
though… well,"
"They are more concerened about vietnam, if
the allies lose they want to annex Indo china,"
"So does
Imperial Japan." Grindelwald had noticed Asran had after the war
preferred referring to Japan as Imperial Japan. The Death Eyed Knight
glanced at his watch glinting in the june sun. "Durmstang gets out
shortly… why did we choose to eas lunch so late."
Grindelwald
nodded in acknowledgement of the first and second statements. "I
blieve it was because Himmelr was out security memos." Hhe
remarked.
"The SS led raid in Gaul?" the grand master of the order of the Dragon questioned.
"Yes, how did you know?"
Asran gestured to a folder bearing the Drachen Orden Ouroboros emblem. "Heinrich requisitioned Orden troops for the Operation."
"What?" exclaimed the surprised Grindelwald. "I wasn't aware the Drachenorden would be involved."
"I'm sure Himmler intends to include the information in the briefing immediately before the operation starts." Assured Asran setting his coffee cup aside. "the french resistance is a dying breed most isolated in the country land." The time traveler assured.

Chapter conclusion
Helltanz's notes: Forcing myself to sit down and type was a bitch, so I apologize for the delay, and yeah I'm stopping it there. Drachen Fuhrer literally translates to mean Dragon leader, the SS general is referring to this title rather than Asran's rank marshal of the Reich, Reichsmarschall, if this is a military situation as it seems to indicate that should be the title the situation merits, making it a violation of military protocol to address him as anything other, save maybe his status as leader of Dracaena or Grandmaster of the Drachen Orden, but most the SS while efficient are pretty cocky, though Heinrich would probably kick the man in the brig for it, seeing as he was such a hard ass.
Anyway as for getting back to the present, I rather would not like to do a time skip, be to much trouble, least in my opinion explaining all the advancements, but I suppose I could open a poll; it ends at Chapter twenty, vote one way or another whether you want the story to time skip to the future.
I am keeping the poll open to chapter twenty because by doing so it will allow me to cover important things, from a political point, Kennedy's assassination, Hitler's assassination, determining which ever path of the future will be taken, Stalin's death in the new time line.
Axis National State Spotlight:
For the UAS, the United Arab States, does not encompass the entire Arab World, it doesn't cover Egypt, which is an Independent Nationalist state of the Empire, the Military is under Reichsmarschall Rommel, who is still commanding UNIT Two, nor does it encompass Carthage. The UAS does encompass the entire Arabian Peninsula, Lebanon, plus Iran, Afghanistan, and all of Syria, or rather the lands that those nations encompass.
Its primary rival with in the empire is Gaul.
The UAS holds strong ties to Germanicus and Dracaena, because of both nations' leaders.

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 late 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 much 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
