Chapter 20

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 should take now to emphasize the back drop of this story emphasizes the bad things in the world, with out taking it over board (Nuclear war).

Also the reason why Red Alert didn't occur, is because the world is the exact opposite of Command and Conquer Germany, or rather the Reich is uber strong, but beyond that Stalin isn't an idiot, he is aware of the ADORE and UNITs Shields, he is also aware of their firepower.

He's also attempting to build a counter to them in the event of a war breaking out.

Also to address Dracaena is the Nation, the drachen orden is affiliated and predates the Federal States, but to clarify they are two separate armed forces however the Drachenorden is considered to be capable of issuing commands to Dracaena personel, also Asran is the head of Dracaena as well as the Drachenorden.

Separation wise the Drachenorden is much more independent than the regular military and recruits from a wide basin, but they answer in the end to the same person.

Chapter Begin

Introduction

"Well the US continued to blunder about with the USSR in the lower Americas which eventually came to fruition with armed conflict by varying internal conflict and eventually came to mean the Mexican Expansion, and by proxy the Yucatan insurgency, apparently due to the discovery of advanced technology in certain ruins in that area.

Vietnam continued to drag on, this would continue and expand into Laos till the inevitable Allied Withdrawal from the northern portion of the nation, which in turn a scarce six hours after the announcement was made Axis Senate, at the urging of the Asiatic National Union and Empire of Imperial Japan to press for immediate invasion, as a result the Empire of Imperial Japan mobilized their Indonesian Naval fleet.

Of course with Vietnam split and the way it appeared the Allies would have no choice but to withdraw from Laos it may well have been blood in the water.

The major thing after Adolf's assassination was the Launch of the Cancer Orbital Structure, an O'neill Cylinder.

With the success of project Genesis in the North African States, the Drachenorden proceeded to expand the project other regions. Among these areas of expansions were the non arable lands of the Chinese provinces. However up until this point the extreme measures have not been enacted, with one exception, these measures would be the use of Crystal and other technologies to level mountains. The exception of this were the Chinese ground based shipyards, originally built to produce the Asiatic National Union's Airborne Warships, and now retooled to produce Angelos class battlecruisers.

Other Shipyards exist in Gaul, Germanicus, and Imperial Japan, the average shipyard on the ground is chambered to build up to three ships at a time, as well as repair or refit two ships.

The Dracaena's space fleet now are based either on the ground in Turkey, Romania, and the Ukraine, in orbit the Lunar Facilities and Orbital bases such as the O'neill cylinders are responsible for industry tasks.

Though that's irrelevant at the moment, the massive space leap caused significant stir especially in the higher echelons of the United States who were still concerned over, not only the new UNITs, but also the Step Walker nuclear armed tank, as well as Kennedy and Hitler's assassinations.

During this time there were varying movements of the differing political ideologies, American Communists for example celebrated George Washington as a revolutionary against a tyrannical monarchy, leading to anti British propaganda due to the reverting of power back to the Queen.

American Nazi, and other American Axis support groups, seeing as the American Nazis were and had been distancing themselves from the Reich, though particularly the prior frequently used pictures of the first American President as well, the special forces such as the rangers were equated to the knights of the Axis, this caused two differing opinions. The internment of German citizens during and for the period after world war two caused strife, especially after the Peace treaty which concluded the conflict. At the time civil rights in America became an issue, and at the same time Hitler's assassination.

These Neo Nazis did not truly become a rallying force until the events of the civil rights movements, with out public knowledge of the holocaust unlike in the previous timeline due to the lack of evidence, these American Nazis roused public opinion under George L, Rockwell, especially with the assassination of Hitler, Ray Colin succeeded this commander after Rockwell's assassination, which was due in fact to another neo nazi over ideological disagreement, this new group preached an even higher level of American Empire building a new Empire in the west, among the movements they pushed may have not in all cases succeeded some however did in fact benefit Unites States, the biggest example of this was the statehood granted to the Philippines though admittedly this was for the creation of a 'Greater American Reich'. At the same time with the increased tension south of the continental border and then the addition of Mexico to the Union, the USA expanded re igniting the idea of a manifest destiny.

This period marked the emergence of the present division of geo political lines in the United States.

These events were of some distress to the Soviet Union who admittedly were suffering from the losses to the west, as well as the further divergence in technology between the superpowers the Soviet Union continued to increase its Tesla Technology, the Tesla Barrier, the Tesla powered armor which incorporated advancements to Tesla Technology and radiation protection, this battle suit equipped not only a pair of the Tesla Gauntlets as well as traditional weapons, other advancements were the Tesla weaponry present on the second block of Lenin class vessels.

Meanwhile the American Navy deployed Prism weapons on their own warships, notably the block III Montana class battleships, and the USS United States. Further equipment to the US arsenal were the Mirage Tanks, and other stealth equipment, which would be incorporated.

The Axis forces of the mainstream Germanicus Heer relied on heavy tanks equipped with large caliber cannons, as well other well built armored battalions a feat exemplified during the African conflict. The Heer relies expressly on it Panzer divisions to spearhead an enemy line in blitzkrieg formation alongside assistance from air supported typically from the Luftwaffe.

The UAS is more famous for its use of covert attack groups, and other black ops forces who coordinate with the varying intelligence forces allowing the focused deployment of surgical strikes followed or following of the typical Blitzkrieg assault.

The Asiatic National States features the largest number infantry in the empire under arms, and their tactics reflect this relying on their force of numbers either in regular weight main battle tanks and infantry formations to overwhelm an enemy.

These three powers are typically identified as the aggressive states, the three parts of the empire, which are the area where hardliners are the most present, the general overview of their specialty.

Other things occurred in this era than just the launch of the Cancer O'neill Cylinder, this included the beginning of Project Avalon, the undersea bases both for the purpose of bases as a naval command, mineral extraction from deep sea vents, as well as for the purpose of using these undersea bases as research installations for projects which required such environments, when the declassification was ordered however green party civilians as well as other parties raised complaints over the use of advanced technology, though similar complaints were made over the settlement of the moon and of the varying orbital installations of the Drachenorden, these objections by Liberal parties, mainly based in the United States West Coast most often called the Berkley and San Francisco parties, were then objected to by the Axis for the purpose of national rights, not that the Reich would have listened anyway, as opposed to say the US Imperialist ish faction based in the South East who emphasized the development of the US's national resources."

Donitz did not like his job, well at least his new one, but he took all in good stride, he took the office of chancellor with far more seriousness than Hitler, and the Reich was benefiting from it.

Unfortunately that probably made the Allies more nervous, where as Hitler had been an Austrian Private in the First World War with no real leadership experience, Donitz had been a wartime commander.

Hitler would typically make the mistake of getting in the way of the commanders who knew what they were doing, Donitz knew better.

Unfortunately he took his work far to seriously, not leaving the Axis Headquarters sometimes till well after midnight.

If not for the fact he the Chinese Phoenixes seemed to encourage him, Asran would have likely increased the Re'em blood he dosed the admiral's food with; being able to modify things on a molecular level was truly a very useful ability.

The English were not doing so well, admittedly Dumbledore had made a few impressive stands and taken down a few of them, including the 'dark lord' that had been before Tom, some one the Axis, the prior 'dark lord', were suspicious of.

Tom had proven however to be a devious match and it was causing problems, since the two were stalemating one another it had had allowed Dumbledore, and the few others who could match the fledgling substantial political power.

The British Ministry of Magic was sending over an ambassador, not something the duke of Kiev looked forward too, not so much for the ambassadorial position itself but more so because of whom they had chosen to send.

Fredrick Asran, born Harry Potter, grandson of Jeremiah Potter, turned towards the exit. The duke of Kiev left the capital of the Axis vanishing in a sliver of light, which appeared in the shadows.

Drachenorden Mobile Deep Sea Facility 1, Pacific Ocean South, project Avalon

The Mobile facility was octahedron in shape on the outside rotating lights crisscrossed the device.

"Status?"
"All probes out," responded one of the officers
the screen flashed. "Continue drilling procedures, proceed to establish initial settlement shield array," the commander ordered.

"Incoming priority communiqué from Naval Headquarters in Odessa." Announced another knight.

"How are we doing?" inquired a Drachenorden Graf Admiral. "To precise how far along are we?" he questioned

"We are at step two, safety checklists are complete, and we have initial support columns of Trinium metal combined with the Alchemist metal." the commander stated, "Probes are currently penetrating the rock and we'll begin installing shield batteries, along with the geothermal batteries along the vents."

"Be advised task force heading out from United States Navy Pacific Headquarters in Pearl Harbor."

"Thanks for the heads up admiral," responded the knight, "Do you know when they'll arrive?"
"The probably will be diverted, high command has ordered this mission as a priority Malay has ordered a trio of subs, one R series two N series. They have orders to put themselves between them and the project site,"

"Our orders,"
"The Allies must not become aware of the project, your clear for use of magic or biological warfare," the Admiral responded, "Lord Asran would prefer you if do not use anything non native on the magical front, disease use one of the rapid death Ebola strains, your all inoculated against them."

"The grandmaster is authorizing bio weapons?"
"No he's authorizing you Commander to use discretion he would prefer you to not use biological elements."

"Understood,"

"Very good Admiral," congratulated Arzachel.

"Thank you my lord," the man nodded.

"Yes good job, both of you," stated the duke of Kiev testily,

"Father," Arzachel bowed cockily,

"My lord,"

"Both you, I expected some restraint," he chided. "Your initiative in defense is to be complimented however, that said you are not to start a war with the United States, Project Avalon is not military as a primary function." The death eyed knight remarked, "Now both of you off the com. We are preparing to launch the first cylinder, at least the first one that is public."

"I take it the Axis wants the faces of the orden, including family," drawled the Duke of Moldova smugly.

"Yes, Arzachel very perceptive." He praised the other time traveler.

"Whatever you think of your civilian projects father, I suppose it does draw attention away from certain military activities." The younger death eyed noble remarked. "I shall gather my ridiculous finery, I take it the SS will be making an appearance as well,"

The admiral sniffed in distaste, "My lord, surely such is not the case"

"The Axis will be making a statement concerning the individual national labs that will be built, however the Drachenorden address will not feature them," Asran, the elder, stated, leaning against the wall, "As agreed before hand only military facilities that will operate will be the Drachenorden and Dracaena, that are will be sealed off to regular visitors. I do not want this getting out of hand, we'll begin very shortly the Lunar Obelisk's construction, the rest of the world will be very impressed since they do not know of the stargate operations, we under no circumstance hint that this is not our first task, nor do we insinuate that it our first, they can assume until seventy five as planned declassification,"

"Well that went better than expected," drawled Arzachel

Asran gave his son a chastising glare. Though technically the duke of Moldova was correct, the cylinder was safely in orbit along with nearly three thousand personnel who were with it.

"Yes the English, and the Americans just got thrown into disorder," remarked Isaak smugly, "the Soviet Union aren't much better though Stalin isn't nearly as envious, he understands the technological gap, even it wasn't for our history and the tripartite pact he'd be quite worried,"
"Well of course Cancer has multiple Satellite Orbital Linear cannons, plus everything else installed for the defense, of course the majority of that is actually for the event of incurision by alien forces,"

Asran frowned,

The screen flashed, "well you'll all be pleased to know the Americans are yelling at their space program, and I would imagine the cosmonauts will get similar encouragement later on, not to mention the German space program, well at least from Heinrich and Goring, Donitz won't really mind, he's already proceeding to that Naval meeting in the Persian gulf,"

"We know that Dietrich," remarked Isaac,

"Well perhaps you would do well to know civil wars are now in full swing all over the various South and Central America."

"Things were already tense, but why now?" questioned an additional member of the council. "The operation in Argentina must not be compromised,"

"Pytor is correct, exactly what set them off?" another commander of the orden. "This did not involve the launch I hope?"
"No as far as we can observe the CIA and GRU and their like have managed to exasperate the situation to the current level," Dietrich commented,

"Mexico as well, that may not be a positive thing, a red state on the North American continent could draw the United States into war, not to mention that would draw the Soviet Union."
"The Great War all over again," drawled Asran. "What about Vietnam?"
"Heavy insurrection as always we suspected serious Soviet assistance, we aren't doing anything of course because its an allied territory, humph, even the UAS is assisting the soviets to a degree in fighting the Allies presence at least as far as ensuring supplies get through. The Chinese and Indo China faction is pushing for an invasion, so far the India provinces' faction are resisting but eventually they'll be overwhelmed once the allies inevitably collapse, or deploy heavier weaponry"

"Pacific Naval Command is to dispatch no additional troops with out approval, unless hostilities occur, I am clear?"
"Yes my lord," responded the man, the Baron of Varna, the head of the Drachenorden Naval Arm.

"We will not bully other nations," Asran stated, "if another world war breaks out it will weaken the earth's defenses, if an attack from another world occurs, I do not want earth's resources already strained, how are refits going?"
"Upgrades to ADORE and UNIT initial series are completed for the first half of the series, they'll be deployed and we'll begin refit of the other half my lord," Isaac answered,

"Isaak what is the estimated time till the SINEW are ready,"
"Two years and all of the eight units will be complete." Answered the head of the Mechanical Science divisions.

"We're going to deploy the SINEW my lord?"

"Exactly when will the Faster than Light drive be ready for the SINEW Isaak?" inquired Pytor, Count of Donetsk

"The test of the Ion Antimatter drive is in year, and that I think is unwise, we are rushing ahead testing the drive so soon," he responded

"We've been through this, the drive has advantages over the Goa'uld based drives, and until we can replicate the gate builder FTL drives its long range and speed capabilities are a necessity." Lord Commander Lukan stated,

"Radu?" Asran said.
"Yes Tovares," responded the Baron of Luxor, "I presume this concerns the Obelisk, we'll have preparations made to begin construction on Endymion within a period of two weeks,"

"This will not be highly publicized, further more I want security tightened, until the Americans land our attempt to land on the moon, Endymion, Daedalus, and Arzachel will be kept silent," He turned to another knight "and inform the Magical population we are in to no way interfere with any possible 'ideological disputes' in England that may or may not occur,"
If things went like last time line, well the Knights of Walpurgis would initialize their fill scale rebellion in Magical England, and the Americans would attempt to land on the moon in July of sixty nine.

Jeremiah Potter, blue eyes, just like James Potter, messy hair black as midnight, just like his father.

Asran had in the beginning despised his family, or at least those he was closest related to by blood, the awakening of death's eyes had caused all manner of blood shed and being at the age of six had only exasperated his state of mind. He struggled to control the power he discovered, and the rituals that followed, and the learning had all driven him to think he was unstoppable.

Of course his principles of excellence translated to the order of the dragon of that timeline, and then into this timeline.

Asran, the name he took from a long dead ancestor, ran a hand annoyed through the crimson streak of hair on the left side of his head. Remembering history did not help, he scolded himself.

The headquarters of the Axis had not changed much, though the gardens had a noticeably higher presence of magical species in it.

The wizard was dressed in robes, even Grindelwald had abandoned such a thing in favor of his daily uniform. Uniform, the Drachenorden had since the operation Midgardsormir began outfitting all their assault groups with battle armor, which was impregnated with nano technology carbon tubes, though after operation Genesis had it become widespread amongst all Drachenorden and Dracaena military personnel. The greatcoats issued with dress uniforms were an example of this.

Slowly the two shook hands, Asran ignored the pulse of magic from the Potter ring, not now, he wanted to hiss at the blasted sentient thing, his own energy swatted at the tendrils angrily.

The current lord of house Potter's eyes widened,

Chapter conclusion

Helltanz's notes: Hmm, our favorite death eyed knight has some splaining to do to papa Potter it would seem, bah maybe not.

The story will get more Sci Fi over the next few chapters, well to be frank the Drachenorden will simply begin using their massive technological advantage in a more mentioned fashion, you will get what I mean when Bahamut, not the dragon of who will show up during the African conflict, much to the surprise of the UAS, is mentioned next chapter. However as the top note mentioned this story covers the worse case scenario along with the good as you'll see next chapter, admittedly that incident will end somewhat positively.

Also the previous time line will be referenced, including a further mention of Harry's abilities, but over all the previous time line doesn't really matter.

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 Donitz will probably be the one succeeding Hitler in this one well

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, Hitler, 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)

Eleven 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) On the subject of the Nazi leader, no fucking idea, maybe Heinrich Himmler, but probably not

Four vote for

Comic Merger (It will only be DC and Marvel, and I mean it no Hellboy since there wouldn't be an excuse for the Axis to ask Rasputin) (This will end around the nineties)

One Vote for

One abstain
