AN : I know, the wait for this chap was long and I am sorry. Life gets in the way sometimes but so enjoy! Thanks to Sirya Ebony Black for looking over the chapter for me. Job well done!
Outside of Hogwarts sat the Quidditch pitch which was quickly filling up with students from the DA and the other invited guests. Harry was already on the ground of the pitch with everything that he needed to make his presentation. As Ragnok and his honor guard sat in the stands right in front amongst the other guests, Harry gave a little bow of the head in his direction acknowledging his presence. Ragnok returned the bow making those around him go wide eyed in astonishment, not only because he was there but because it he showed respect towards a wizard.
When everyone arrived, Harry felt the security ward that Harry asked Ragnok to have set up activate. Waiting on the master ward Goblin to take his seat amongst the others, Harry activated the platform that Silima had designed and built for him. It was a perfect circle and was super thin with seven small spherical shapes protruding from the bottom side; six of which were around the perimeter, creating the anti-gravity field, allowing the platform to rise into the air and the seventh in the middle which held the power source.
'Silima, please scan around me for anyone bearing the dark mark as well for anyone that's not supposed to be here.' Harry said through the link as he slowly raised himself into the air.
'I have found two people that bear the mark; one is in the stands with everyone else and the hidden one is off to the side but still in the stands as well. I will show you.' Silima linked Harry's vision to that of Camelot's sensors, allowing him to clearly see the two people that she pointed out to him. It was his experience in controlling Camelot's powerful systems mentally that enabled Harry to control the input from Camelot's powerful scanners. Nothing was hidden from his view.
'Thank you. Please alert Master Yoda that we will have a few more people joining him soon.'
'I have and he is ready to receive them young Master. Show these people what will happen if they were to join that vile creature.' Silima hissed out the last part and shocked Harry since he never heard her speak in such a tone.
'Oh I will.' Harry said.
Harry concentrated on the signature of the student in the stands and with a thought they were petrified and rose in the air; at the same time they started to float towards Harry. Headmistress McGonagall rose to ask why her student was being treated in such a manner when Harry's voice cut her off.
Harry channeled power into his voice so that even though he spoke softly, everyone could hear what he said as though he was standing right next to them. "Ernie McMillan, you bear the dark mark of the halfblooded idiot who calls himself a Dark Lord. Because you are a student, I will allow you to plead your case. Fail to convince me and you will see firsthand what happens to those that bear the dark mark."
"You will release me now Potter! The Dark Lord will free me from wherever you put me and then I will kill you, you bloody..." Harry made a quick gesture and the Ernie's voice was stripped from him. Harry released some of his power and let it flow through him so all in the Quidditch pitch could feel it.
"The only thing that your Lord will do is to die by my hand! But you will not see that day for you have made a grievous mistake by taking his mark. Now go and see what happens to little shits like you that were stupid enough to follow the crazed psychopath whose arse you kiss." Harry said as Ernie was beamed away in a flash of light to most people's amazement. Harry then turned his power filled gaze onto the people in the crowd he was facing. He seen that the other person that had the dark mark was still hiding, obviously believing themselves to still be undetected. Harry decided that he would leave him there for now.
"I would like to say thank you for coming out to listen to what I have to say. What I have to tell you will change the way that you view the world. The world as we know it is coming to an end around us but we have a choice right here and now. Do we change the world for the better or do we allow the world to burn with our inaction." Harry looked everyone in the eyes as he spoke. He spoke with a calm confidence that pulled everyone to the front of their seats, entranced by what he was saying.
"Earlier on today Kingsley and I discovered that in the UK alone there are close to 1000 Death Eaters. The ministry is infested by them and the rest of the country is following. Hogwarts is literally becoming the last bastion of the light." The crowed was floored by what they just heard. Gasps and shouts of disbelief filled the air. Once everyone quieted down Harry spoke again.
"Now I have a plan to deal with the Death Eaters, and it will require your help. The most important thing to think about is what happens after Voldemort," once again gasps filled the air, "and his band of merry men is dealt with. How do you plan to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again? The hatred bigotry has to end here and it will start with you. Tolerance for all magical creatures and of each other is a must. Witches and wizards are no better than the Goblins and the Centaurs; we are all magic's children. I have someone gathering all those in government that aren't loyal to Voldemort and they will be coming here. What we are going to do is restructure the ministry. More information will be provided about that at a later time."
"Now I will tell you what you all came here to hear, where the bloody hell I have been." Harry smiled as he said that. He needed to get rid of the tension that was filling the pitch after his news about the Death Eaters. It worked. Most of the crowd was smiling and looked eager to hear what he had to say.
"Now please hold your questions until the end so I can get through this in a timely fashion. Also so that you can be sure that I am indeed telling the truth, I, Harry James Potter swear on my life and magic that the following story that I tell will be accurate to the best of my knowledge." In a blinding flash of magic, the magical vow was accepted.
"A few months ago, I started on a mission to destroy the keys to Voldemort's destruction. I found out that one of the artifacts that I was searching for was being held in Gringotts, so that's where I went. Once there, not only did the artifact get destroyed, I discovered that I had two powerful and Ancient ancestors, Merlin and Morgan Le Fey. Once that was discovered, I was put through a procedure so that I could learn all the knowledge of my Ancestors. After I was given that knowledge I was shown to my new home, Camelot. It truly is the most magnificent city that I have ever seen or even imagined. Using the knowledge of my Ancestors, I was able to travel through time and meet new cultures, all the while learning as much as I could. Master Yoda belonged to one such culture, that of the Jedi. Using my time travel ability, he taught me for years in the lost art of the Jedi. After my initial training was complete and we helped some of his people, he agreed to travel with me, leaving his home behind. From there I decided that it was time for me to return to my home and use the training and knowledge that I have to finish what was started so many years ago. And that's the end. Now since I am still breathing, I obviously told the truth so to wrap this up are there any questions?"
And there were many. A lot asked about him being related to Merlin and Morgan Le Fey, some asked him about the battles that he fought in, and there were questions about the extent of his Ancient knowledge. Harry was glad that he just gave them basic information, enough to be true but not enough for them to think that he left Earth. The amount of questions he would have been asked would have been horrendous. The holographic projector worked great to, allowing the audience to see certain things so that he wouldn't have to go into too much detail to explain it to them. After the students were finished with their questions, Harry returned to the ground where he had a crate of the same communication devices that he had given to the adults. He gave one to each of the DA members and one to Ragnok as well. After he was done explaining to them how they worked, he noticed that the interloper to their meeting started to move as if they were trying to make a stealthy escape.
Harry charged a stunner into his right hand and threw it at the Death Eater as fast as he could. With his back to the crowd he never saw the spell coming and he was hit square in the back, knocking him several feet forward. Unfortunately, with the bleacher seating, the unconscious Death Eater started to roll down the seats, losing their invisibility cloak in the process. Luckily, there was a wall at the bottom that prevented anyone from falling over the edge and that stopped them from rolling any farther.
While the Death eater was rolling down the bleachers, they lost the invisibility cloak that they were wearing, revealing themselves for all to see. Everyone in the crowd was on their feet within seconds, shocked to see that there was a spy there and that the spy was none other than Draco Malfoy. The DA surged towards Draco with the intent to capture him when a shout rang through the air.
"Stop!" Harry shouted. "He's mine."
Harry floated his platform over to the slumped form of Draco Malfoy. He bent down and grabbed him by his neck with his left hand, holding him up as if he was a rag doll and brought his platform back in front of the crowd where he was only moments before. Channeling an Enervate in his right hand, Harry smacked Draco in the face, using the spell to wake him and the blow to bring him around quickly.
"Well hello Draco, funny running into you here. Did you think that you could just sit in and hear things that don't concern you and take that news to your Master? Well just to let you know that even if I didn't catch you, it wouldn't have worked. Well what do you have to say for yourself?"
"Potter...I had no choice but to come here, I didn't want to. I don't want anything to do with the Dark Lord and his war but I have no way out..." Draco said in a scratchy voice due to Harry holding him by his neck.
"We all have choices! You chose wrong. You chose to bring Death Eaters into a school full of children last year! You chose to harm others to get at Dumbledore! You chose to come here tonight!" In a softer voice he added. But what you chose not to do was to kill Dumbledore." With that Harry relaxed his grip a little bit. Not that he forgave Malfoy's actions, but because he had feelings that like his earlier life, Draco was trapped with no way out. Oh he would be punished but he would hear what he had to say before that happened.
"The only thing that I can say is that I am sorry for all of those things. I felt that I had no way out and if I didn't do those things, terrible things would happen to my family. It is true I was sent here to keep an eye on the school so that I could jeep the Dark Lord informed until he was able to take over the school, but I wasn't leaving just now to go to him, I was going to wait by the exit so that I could talk to you alone and ask for your help."
"You want my help?" Harry smirked. He couldn't believe what he was hearing, his school rival was asking for his help!
"Yes Pot... Harry. You took the oath that your story was correct and that would mean that you have the means to help me and my mother. We want out from the Dark Lords control and would be willing to do whatever you wish to achieve this. I have information I can give..." Harry cut off the hysterical teen.
"We shall see how sincere you truly are about changing your ways but forgive me if I don't believe you." And with that Harry threw Draco away from him and towards the center of the pitch, allowing him to free fall towards the ground. Draco was screaming the entire way until he flashed away in a white light moments before he was to hit the ground. Harry then noticed that the crowd was looking at him in disbelief in what just happened. Harry just smiled and asked, "What?" like nothing of the last few minutes happened.
Ragnok sat back in shock at what he was just told. While the Ward Master was reviewing the wards throughout Europe with Silima, Harry and himself was in Harry's office going over the complete story of Harry's travels. He never thought in a million years that he could ever here a story of such magnitude. It just confirmed what Ragnok knew when he started dealing with Harry; he was a catalyst to change that he needed to get his people on the front lines. It was time for his people to stand in the place that they were always meant to stand, equal to witches and wizards.
"There is no doubt in my mind that what you say is not the truth. Therefore I wish to make a formal alliance between the Goblins of Gringotts and you and your people, the Alterans. I see you will bring great change to not only this planet but to any place that you go."
"I appreciate your kind words. While making an alliance with you and your people would be welcome I want you to know what that would actually mean. One, I would be in charge of this vessel and all that would be on it. Two, it would require for a number of your people to be here permanently, whether they work in shifts or rotate people but they would be required to be here, to not only learn about the advanced society, but anything else that I deem necessary. And finally, I just need you to trust me explicitly. You and your people will not understand everything right away so that trust is the most important factor of this alliance. Can I have that trust?"
"You can indeed. It is without question that when it comes to space travel, you have a lot more experience than we do. I just want you to know that there a lot of things that we can offer that you probably do not know about. The three things that we take the most pride in are warding, mining, and fabrication. I will place my Second her to you. He will act as a liaison to those that are placed here and will follow every order while he is here. Is this acceptable to you?"
"It is more than acceptable, I will have the official paperwork ready to sign by the time that you are ready to leave. We will need two viable witnesses however. One will be Master Yoda; do you have anyone specific in mind?" Harry asked.
After a moment's thought, Ragnok answered. "Well I guess that Ward Master Grimgit will do, but I would really like to bring up my Second, Wriptoc, so that he can meet you as well as be witness to the signing of the alliance."
"Well, let us go and see what your Ward Master has to say then we can send him to get your Second for us." Harry said, standing up. Ragnok followed him and the two made their way to the observation tower, the same one that he took those from Babylon 5. Harry had the room changed into a more war room feel than that of a conference room. It had a large round holographic emitter that came up to waist height with controls on the ledge. Not only could the controls be manipulated by the controls but by the mind of Alterans and by the newly integrated touch feature.
Immediately, Ward Master Grimgit rushed over and after an obvious pause, he bowed before Ragnok mainly, but he was faced in the slightest degree towards Harry, which didn't go unnoticed by Harry and Ragnok, Harry's eyebrows rose in question, while Ragnok was interested why the Ward Master would do such a thing. If the bow was towards anyone other than this particular young man, the Ward Master would already know the error of such a gesture. "What has you so excited Grimgit?" Ragnok asked.
Grimgit hurriedly spoke of his excitement. "Sir, these instruments can read wards at an unheard of level. He discovered various wards that were thought to be lost. It happened when I assisted Lady Silima about the wards. It was extraordinary really, I began to tell her the basics and she drew the correct conclusions about the wards, the way that they are created and their functions. While drawing these conclusions, more and more wards began to appear this screen. She is remarkable."
Harry immediately made his way to Silima while Ragnok responded to Grimgit. "Lost wards you say. This could be most profitable for us, but more importantly, you assisting in this discovery will shed us in a good light with Mister Potter. Help him and Lady Silima in any way that you can."
"Yes sir." With that they headed over to Harry and Silima.
"This is amazing. Thank you Grimgit for assisting Silima with the wards. I will of course share any of the information that you helped us discover."
"You are most welcome. Let me know if there is anything else that you would like my assistance with and I shall be at your service."
"Well I just happen to have recently scanned the dark mark. I can use that information and detect every dark mark on the planet. I am also looking into the properties of the dark mark itself." Harry said casually, as if it was an everyday occurrence. For the Goblins, it was.
No one, not Goblin or Wizard knew what the mark itself was or how it was created besides its ability to summon his Death Eaters. Not that there weren't attempts. And Harry Potter has done the impossible once again. "Grimgit and I will help you immediately Mr. Potter. This just happens to be something that we Goblins have been interested in."
Harry smiled at his guests. With a thought Harry activated the search for the dark mark. Instantly dark mark symbols started to appear on the holographic display but Harry also displayed all the information he had on it as well. The Goblins eyes widened in shock at the staggering number of Death Eaters.
"As you can see there are way too many death Eaters. I have been thinking on the best way to defeat Voldemort, his death eaters, and his ideals for a while now. While I can handle the situation quite easy from here, I would prefer to try and do some good for the magical community by having them fight back. They will need to realize that they will need to come together as a magical community and have forward progression in order to survive as a society. Not. Not an easy task I know but if things don't change than there will be another Voldemort in the next generation."
"That is indeed a difficult task but a task that you will not undertake alone." Ragnok told Harry, letting him know the depth in which promise was just given. "Now what is this plan of yours Mr. Potter?"
Harry quickly accessed the information that was received from the spynet that was still being created and deployed. He concentrated only on viable mining sites and what resources were available. Fortunately, there was no life discovered at any of the mining sites. Silima already made reports on each location with the recommended equipment to start mining operations.
"Well I plan to build a complex on the surface that will slowly, in a sense, take over the magical world. This facility will bring the magical world up to speed with the muggles but it will also be my presence on the planet. It will be a school for the gifted. Anyone that can meet the qualifications is welcome to come and not only will be a school but a factory as well. All needs will be met for all who go there. The options are limitless really. As for Voldemort I plan to get rid of his horocrux's and then I will replace him with a puppet one that will do exactly what it is told. We will program the puppet to lose battles but in such a way that it boost morale and the fighting spirit of the community. Restructure the ministry for the moment and have it have fair laws with the ability to defend them."
"I see you have put a lot of thought into your plans. It will no doubt be difficult, but I believe that if anyone is capable of something like this, it would be you. . From what I see here, and I know it is just a fraction of what you are capable of and I can't wait to see it all unfold." Grimgit told Harry.
"I thank you for your confidence." Looking at Ragnok, Harry asked, "Did you happen to bring the information about the property I was looking for?"
"Indeed I did, if you show me how to operate this technology, I will enter the address for several properties that I think will match the criteria." After a brief demonstration on operating the basic functions of the holo interface, the coordinates were quickly entered. Harry did high level scans on the properties and noticed that none of these properties contained lakes. After a moment's contemplation, Harry decided to forgo the lake and just build the facility directly onto the property.
"I'm going to use the largest property for the build site of the facility. Can you have the wards removed? Silima and I are going to be doing some projects soon and I hope to be able to cast my own wards on the property." asked Harry.
"Indeed I can. It will be done as soon as I return to the surface." Ragnok then joined Grimgit in studying the information on the dark mark that Harry had displayed again after scanning the properties.
"Silima, I need a drone delivery system that can take several mining constructors to each mining site to begin the mining process. I'm also going to need two more TDS's created in the next couple of days. After we are done with our goblin friends, we are going to remove the horocrux from my forehead. After that, with time permitting, we will start on some other projects that need to be started." Harry told Silima.
"Young Master, leave these tasks to me. I am more than capable of completing them, leaving you to concentrate on not only fighting our foes but also with the rebuilding of our society. This will also get you in the practice of delegating the people that will undoubtedly join us. Now young master, tell me everything that you need done and I will see to them if I can. If not, we both will work to complete them." Silima spoke quietly with passion.
Harry looked at Silima with a sheepish smile on his face. "Well, I guess I'm just used to doing things on my own. I will try and work on it ok. Here is what we need done..."
Two Weeks Later
The two weeks since the meeting with the DA flew by for Harry. Since Silima had relieved him of the tasks that would normally be another, he was free to concentrate fully on the situation at hand. He had meetings with not only some DA members but also his friends as well. Unfortunately, the meetings were quick and not very informative since Harry still had a lot of things that needed to be done right away. He had plans to meet up with all of them in a few days' time once things settled down for him; he did have to see if any were not only willing, but capable of joining him. What Harry was dealing with now was with the situation involving the magical community, which was deteriorating rapidly. The community was in shambles and Voldemort had fully taken over the ministry and was quickly oppressing the entire country. Harry had the remaining loyal to the people government officials going over all the laws and thinking of ways to revamp the government to be more for the people. This was at Hogwarts. During that time, several attempts were made to take Hogwarts but Harry was too smart for that.
The day after the meeting, he had a command center built into the chamber of secrets with a shield generator built outside on the grounds. With the sensors that were installed in the chamber, Harry was able to barricade all the secret entrances in and out of the school. Once the command center and the shield installed, no one was allowed in or out to protect the students. But that wasn't the only thing that was built.
With the influx of raw materials from the new mining sites, a new prison was being built. The beauty of the prison was on where it was located. To make sure that the prisoners would never escape, the prison was being built at the bottom of the ocean floor in the Atlantic. The prison was built exactly like the one he built for the Jedi with only two differences. The first being a dedicated transporter installed instead of a stargate and the second being that the prison had an extensive energy dampening field surrounding it to ensure that no energy manipulation can take place. If the prison is ever compromised, there would be no bomb, but the structural integrity would be compromised in such a way that everybody and everything would be instantly crushed. The prison would be ready in one day time with the facility that Harry was building on the surface to control said prison following in a half days' time.
Construction was not the only thing to happen in the two weeks that passed. A lot of learning has taken place as well. Harry managed to finally download all the magical information that he gleamed not only his stock of Death Eaters but also from the recording from his scanning device and from the ultra-high intensity scans that he made of the UK one night while he was asleep. While not being a master in all fields, Harry's magical knowledge was vast and well rounded. Harry and Silima even managed to discover how to replicate magical effects through the use of technology and in the case of curses and jinx's through an energy focus that they created. They discovered that the replicated magic was not only more efficient but was also strong than their counterparts when powered with zero point energy.
Yoda's magical education was not progressing as fast as Harry's was but he was still faster than the average student, at least after he received a custom made energy focus from Harry. From his scanning of all of the wands at his disposal, the computer core was able to extrapolate what made a wand such an effective tool. The wood was an energy conductor while the magical creature core was an amplifier. The energy would be pushed from the castor, into the wood of the wand. It would then travel up the wand until the energy reached the core where the magic would be amplified. Once the energy travel through the core and reached the tip, the energy would be released in a concentrated form, be it a wave or a beam. The reason why they say that the wand chooses the wizard is because while all magical energy is magical energy, every magical user has a magical frequency that is totally unique. The wood of the wand has its own frequency as does the core but when combined, an all-new frequency is created. The closer the match between the castor and the wand, the better the results will be. Since the energy that Master Yoda manipulated was fundamentally different, a standard wand wouldn't work for him. So Harry made him a custom energy focus. It was seven inches long with an adjustable amount liquid naquadah as the core to allow for more power when it was needed. The casing was a mix of naquadah and exotic carbon to not only make the energy focus light but it also made a great conductor. Harry thought to make the core using ZPE but that made the focus to powerful.
Yoda's training of the magical warriors was going better than expected. While they started as independent fighters, he was turning them into a deadly cohesive fighting force. Harry provided them all with some technology that would aid them in the battles to come and to also push the magical community into the right century, Harry figured that if he could get the top people of the society to use technology, the rest would follow.
Harry wanted to give the first modern magical army an advantage over their enemies and the first thing that came to mind was armor. Harry designed the armor himself and what he came up with was pretty impressive. (Here is a link to the armor picture that I 'borrowed'. http : / fc01 . deviantart. net/fs71/i/2010/014/a/5/ Power_Armor_for_Serious_Sports_by_Mecha_Master. jpg Just remember to take out the spaces and there is also a link in my profile. I will not explain what it looks like since I wouldn't do it justice but know that it is white armor instead of black and the accents are blue instead of red.) Not only was the suit made from technology, the suit also had integrated magical capabilities. The power armor, armor that had an artificial power source and enhanced the user's physical attributes, was made from two different types of armor, bio armor and armor made from a mix of adamantium and naquadah. Harry received the adamantium from the Goblins and Harry discovered that when mixed with naquadah, it made the perfect substance for power armor because it was not only light but not as stiff and rigid as a normal ore. The helmet had two important functions besides protection, communications and the HUD. The communication system was connected to the wearer by a neural hookup and allowed the user to transmit messages either with their voice or thoughts. The thought communication was used to ensure a measure of stealth when needed but the helmet also had a speaker that would broadcast any communications that the user wanted. The AI used both the HUD and the communications systems to interact with the user.
The bio armor components of the power armor were found on the outer thick part of the forearm and on the 'V' part of the armor that covered not only the breast plate but the shoulders as well. The forearms were made of bio armor to act as mobile shields while the 'V' housed all the technology of the suit, scanners, inertial dampeners, communications, microcomputer core, and a miniature ZPM for power. The mini ZPM not only provided power for the systems integrated in the suit but also powered the suit itself which made the user 50% stronger and faster. The mini ZPM also powered the spells that the computer core was capable of casting. Through the HUD and the communication systems, the user can interface with the AI and tell it what they wanted cast, the AI can make suggestions, or in case of extreme emergencies, the AI can cast spells that would save the life of the user. Shields, wards, and stealth spells are all easily cast by the computer core and the two most remarkable features are the transportation and the conjuring aspects of the power armor. The transportation has two functions, Apparition and flying. The same spells that are cast on brooms were cast on the armor, giving it the ability to fly and worked in conjunction with the inertial dampeners to provide smooth flight. Apparition was easy for the user in the power armor. Just tell the AI where it is that you wanted to go and as long as there were no wards blocking the apparition, the suit would jump you there regardless of the distance. Conjuring worked on the same principle as the replicators that Harry was used to using but it was portable. The computer core was able to conjure anything that had a molecular file stored on it. Anything was at the fingertips of the person in the armor. The main weapon of the user of the power armor was of course there wand, so Harry included a slot on the inner forearm that can house one. The power armor would only be able to work with one person and one person only. On top of that, Harry added another layer of security to prevent the perversion of his gifts; he set the AI to overload the mini ZPM after the AI apparated the power armor into the sky so as to not hurt any innocents.
Also in the two weeks that have passed, Silima got everything ready for the contingent of Goblins that would be coming onto Camelot. She prepared a device, a type of repository that would allow select information to be transferred to not just the Goblin, but anyone that needed to learn the information. The device would actually scan the mind that was connected to it, discover the optimal transfer method then commence the download. For the Goblins, this would mean that they would be able to get a crash course in not only the Alterran language, but also the basics of whatever it was that they wished to do while on board Camelot.
With Grimgit's help, Silima was able to find a way to bypass any and all wards in order to use the transporters. The key was in making the transporter adaptive. What cinched the discovery was that unlike shields, ward frequencies were easy to discover. Once discovered, the transporter beam adapted to the same frequency and thus allowed the transporters to work. Using this method, Harry collected all of Voldemort's remaining soul fragments. With Silima's help, Harry removed and destroyed the pieces all the soul pieces. Silima also managed to assist Harry in the removal of the horocrux from his forehead. While it was very painful, the removal went off without a hitch. Now that his own energy wasn't needed to hold back the flow of dark energy from infecting his person, Harry actually received a moderate power boost.
Now it was time to begin the plan to free the magical world from not only the dark, but from stagnation. At this moment, Yoda was finishing up the last training session with the warriors and their new power armor. For the past three days, the fighters were getting a crash course in the operation of their power armor. The only times they were allowed out of the armor was to eat and to use the lavatory. This allowed them to learn the capabilities of the power armor in a short amount of time and made sure that they were fully aware of its capabilities, ready for the start of operations that were scheduled to begin the next day. But now it was time for Harry to confront Voldemort. With all of his soul pieces gone, Voldemort was as mortal as everyone else; he just didn't know it yet.
Harry was in his lab getting ready to receive his guest. He had a control collar ready to be beamed onto Voldemort whenever Harry was ready for it to be placed on him. He would force Voldemort to go through the steps that he made his death eaters go through, after he made a new body and altered Voldemort's mind that would go into said body. Harry prepped the transporters to separate Voldemort from any magical items that he may be carrying, including his wand. The control collar wouldn't go on right away due to the fact that Harry wanted Voldemort to act like himself at first, not for any tactical reason, but due to the fact that he wanted to taunt the guy that made his life hell for the majority of his time on Earth.
Harry made the room pitch black and activated the force fields that surrounded the area that Voldemort would appear in. When everything was ready for Voldemort's arrival, Harry made sure that the last soul fragment, which had to be Voldemort, was alone and once he was determined that he was, Harry initiated the transport. With a flash of light a startled Voldemort appeared.
Voldemort was sitting in his throne room that he created in an old castle that was thought to be lost to the ages. The castle had ancient wards on the property that would ensure the safety of not only himself, but of his army as well; or so he thought. One second he was sitting in his throne in the dim light going over reports and strategies for his war when he disappeared in a flash of light to be deposited in a foreign environment, surrounded in darkness. Immediately he reached for his wand and was even more shocked to discover that it was missing. A deep rage started to build up in Voldemort. But fear was present as well, a fear that he hasn't experienced since that fateful night all those years ago when he was expelled from his dying body. Somehow someone managed to take him from his most secure place and separate him from his wand at the same time. Whoever managed to capture him was indeed powerful, but he refused to show fear to his captors. He refused to move from the spot that he arrived in, in case there were traps around him. He still had abilities that didn't require a wand but he would save them for later, after he knows who and what he was facing.
"Whoever you are, you are making a very big mistake. I will give you one chance to escape with your life, return my wand and return me from where you took me from and we will forget this ever happened. Refusal equals death!"
Voldemort's speech was met with laughter. Harry couldn't believe how predictable Voldemort was being. Here he is, at his mercy and he still tries to threaten and intimidate him.
"Your threats are meaningless. You are at my mercy. You are no longer the master, I am. Your life is now forfeit and it now belongs to me to do as I wish. You will soon learn that you are powerless here. Here, you are less than the muggles that you despise so much." Harry said in a sing song voice, enjoying the reaction he was getting from Voldemort. By the end, Voldemort was shaking in rage.
"Do you know who I am? I am Lord Voldemort. The most powerful sorcerer to ever li..."
"Yeah yeah yeah, I heard all of this before. You are no Lord; you are an inbred half-blood who has delusions of grandeur. Let me tell you what you really are. Son of a muggle, abandoned as a kid because no one wanted you, you were defeated by an infant, and you have followers that are all inbred psychos. Yup, a much better description I believe."
"Who are you boy!" Voldemort shouted.
"Oh you know who I am Tom. We have met face to face several times over the years." Harry said as a circle of light illuminated his entire body while it remained totally dark everywhere else.
Realization mixed with shocked quickly dawned on Voldemort's face. Shock quickly transformed back into the rage he felt before but the rage seemed to be magnified many times what it was. Without another thought, Voldemort unleashed a powerful and destructive wave of pure energy at Harry. Voldemort smiled at the energy exploded from where he thought that it had struck Harry. Beyond the explosion however, what looked like a shield lit up and blocked the attack. But that's not what gave Voldemort pause. What made him know that he was in more trouble than he initially thought he was in was the light from the shield surrounded him and went from the floor to the ceiling. Never before has he, Lord Voldemort, ever found himself in such a situation, enclosed in a shield cast by someone else. 'And yet Potter didn't move... how did he cast this shield?'
Voldemort was knocked out of his thoughts Harry's mocking voice. "As you can see, you have no power here. Normally Death would be reserved for you, but I have something that will be a much better punishment for you." Harry finished with a smile.
"This," Voldemort gestured to the shield with his hand, "is nothing more than a hindrance to me and the world that I am creating. I am the most powerful Dark Lord to walk the Earth, and am truly immortal. This is your last chance, release me and I promise that I will not kill you for your defiance Potter."
"I will admit that you have come a long way to achieving true immortality. But that would mean that no one could know of how you achieved it. That was your mistake." Harry snapped his fingers, more for a show for Voldemort, and all of the soul containers that Voldemort used to attain immortality appeared by Harry. The display of power surprised Voldemort; controlled wandless magic at his age was truly a feat of extraordinary power. But seeing the items that Harry just called forth made Voldemort take a step back in fear.
"How... how..." Voldemort stuttered. If it was one thing that Voldemort truly feared, it was his own death. Voldemort knew it and so did Harry.
"How I got to them is not important. All that you should be concerned is what is going to happen to you now. You are still alive because I want you that way. You will tell me all that I wish to know and you will do as I say in order to fix what you have destroyed."
"I will never tell you anything Potter. I will kill you very painfully and slowly the first chance I ge..." Harry silenced Voldemort with a casual wave of his hand. The light darkened around Harry as he spoke his last words to Voldemort in a dark and sinister voice. "But you will."
Voldemort, silenced, angry, and scared just stood where he was, seemingly stuck. He couldn't believe all that has happened to him in such a short amount of time. His ruthlessness, anger, and power have always made everyone fear him; society feared him so much that they refused to even say his name. That fear gave him more power, power to gain followers, and power to shape the world in his image. Everything that he did, everything that he wanted has come to fruition, until the blasted Potters came along.
While the older Potters were a nuisance, it was their spawn that has continuously disrupted his plans, first by somehow reflecting a killing curse that destroyed his first body, then by stopping several chances at reincarnation. After he regained a body, the young Potter continued to defy him and ruin his plans. Finally, even with Potter defiance, he, Lord Voldemort could begin again and plunged the country back into the troughs of civil war. No one could deny or fight his power. Or so he thought. That's why, on the eve of victory, with one more conquest needed; he was surprised to find himself snatched from the most secure of all his holdings. But what really scared Voldemort, more so than being taken against his will was that for the first time since school. Lord Voldemort, the most powerful Dark Lord in history, was truly powerless. The fact that his arch nemesis, a young boy, could make him feel as such, was truly frightening.
With Voldemort locked in his thoughts, Harry decided that Voldemort could use a little time to himself to stew on all that he learned so far that day.
