Summary: same as before.
Selena: Disclaimer: My yami owns nothing but her many dreams of yaoi.
Me: yep
A/N: I decided that the home of the Twilit walker path will be were many different worlds collide. Meaning their kingdom will be a multi-universe of crossovers from anime/mangas to other games and even some movies and TV shows. R&R what you think and who else can be the mentors to the newest arrivals.
A/N the second: I am very sorry for the delay in getting this chapter out to you viewers and readers but my muse had decided he wasn't going to stick around and left me within two lines of this chapter and only recently paid me a second visit within the last week to week and a half since I couldn't get on my computer to type this new chapter but know that with this posted I have at least half of Chapter 8 done and it will be posted as soon as half of the next is done so I can keep my muse occupied.

"Lucius, if Harry is my mate what will he think or do when he finds out?"
"Hopefully, he will listen to reason and not just react to the news like a foolish Gryffindor." The silver blond man said while he led his friend towards the man's study.
"Let's hope," Tom said as he followed his friend.

"Everyone set to go?" Xane shouted as the others began to gather at the Gringotts private floo gate. The final people to come down were Hermione and Trish who had had a positive effect on her cousin, or as positive as leather rebel attitude in a bookworm can be. Once everyone had gathered Trish and Hermione both looked at each other and nodded.
"We decided that young Mione, here, would spend half of her next year with you guys at the twins' home and half of it with me and the girls learning to fight and kill demons." Trish said as she smirked at the group of people before them. Hermione rolled her eyes as she continued with the talking.
"Trish will have a protkey made by the goblins with the royal palace as the destination and one with the Devil may cry shop as the destination so that when the time comes she can come get me for her time of training."
"Sweet so half a year to hang out with us and learn all about the secret duties of the Merinia Duchess line." the royal twins said together, turning to Fred and George, "what about you to how will you get out of staying here in England?"
The Weasley twins looked at one another and both grinned their mischievous grins and as one pounced on one of the royal twins. With the royal twins under them on the floor and everyone else laughing the Weasleys began one after another, "And just pray tell..."
"Do you think could..."
"keep us away dear twins?" they finished together.
"Alright! Alright! We get it you're not going anywhere unless we are." Zine shouted as she pushed Fred off of her and Xane kicked George over his head. As the four twins got up the others just shook their heads and began to grab the baggage for their journey to the royal twins' home.
"So any thing we need to know of your home guys?" Corvin asked as he adjusted Guardian of Life and his new hand guns Athena and Ares the goddess and god of war. The royal twins looked at each other and then nodded.
"Well our kingdom is a place where technology and magic has mixed and help each other, and because of this we have become, a gate way if you will to other dimensions, universes, times, even worlds. All of this lives in peace in our lands everyone who understands that we are a sanctuary to all people can stay."
"So, what even one time enemy could live in the place a hero they once hated lives?" Hermione asked as they all began walking to Gringotts bank for their portkeys.
"Glad you asked that, cuz yep is the answer. Have any of you ever heard of a game series called Final Fantasy?"
The only ones to raise their hands were Corvin, Hermione, Nero and Surprisingly the Weasley twins and Vergil. When everyone just stared at Vergil he sighed and said, "Final Fantasy has many great villains to get tips on how to rule and kill. Like Sephiroth from 7 and Genesis from Crisis Core."
The royal twins just laughed and began explaining the basics to Dante and Trish. After the explanation the royal twins of the series ended Hermione asked, "So why did we need to know about the Final Fantasy series anyway?"
"Remember how we said our kingdoms a gateway for multiple realms of reality?"
"Yeah" Hermione began while Corvin said, "Including the realms which a game series here is reality there?"
The royal twins just grinned; Corvin and Hermione just laughed while the others caught on to what that meant. Vergil smirked at the thought of meeting Sephiroth and Genesis, while Dante shook his head at the thought of his brother meeting with more people like him... Insane and Evil.

(At the Kingdom of Twilit Walker)
Two separate people on different sides of the fortified kingdom sneezed once at the same time. One a silver haired ex-villain and General glared at the men of his new unit of soldiers and barked out the order to resume training. The other an Auburn haired man took a look over where he had been helping build a new district for some new arrivals by flying the upper portion of materials into their places to see if anything would have set off his reaction. Both had only one thought, 'What or who is thinking of us?'
-(Line Break)-
(With our favorite set of people)
The group of royalty, demon hunters, and odd balls had finally made it to the bank and had been given their sets of portkeys which would activate with specific codes for each destination. To get to the Twilit Walker Kingdom the phrase was "I choose the Middle path" and the return to Gringotts phrase was "Leading to the dawn from darkness". As all of them gathered around one of the portkeys holding their baggage they all were brining tightly and the phrase was said.
Once landing in the courtyard of the palace and righting themselves the group merely stayed in place as the guards that had surrounded them kept them in place. One stepped forward and demanded, "Who are you newcomers?"
"We are hardly newcomers as this is our kingdom ruled by our parent King Zine, as his children who we bring is our own business and his alone." Zina said as she and Xane stepped forward in front of the group, glaring at the guards. A chuckle was heard from behind the guards as a young man of about 23 with a lithe build and blood red hair and silver like eyes stepped through the guards. He looked over the group and then rested his gaze on the royal twins.
"Well, well, well, look who finally came home. Welcome back little brother, sister." The new arrival said.
Rolling their eyes the twins said together, "Xander."
"Alright they're the twins of our family so you can let down your weapons and we can take them and their guests to the throne room to meet father and the others." The Heir apparent said which caused them to drop their weapons and back off a little bit. The group followed after the royal family members and headed into the throne room. In the room sat a throne made of black marble and pure white marble making it half light and half dark; on the throne sat a man of 40 so years who had slightly graying dark red hair and sharp blue-gray eyes. As he looked over the group his eyes assessed them each and only softened on his children.
"Who is brought before me by mine children?" The king asks.
"We bring before you our friends The Sparda-Potters, The Weasley twins, Trish, and finally the only remaining member of the Merinia Duchess line Hermione Meraina Lumiere-Dianna-Granger."
The king's eyes widened in brief shock before he stepped down in front of the group and walked over to in front of Hermione. Hermione made certain none of her fear and nervousness showed to the older king and held her place before him then slowly curtsied. The king and his children smiled at this and the king nodded his head at her saying, "you are accepted young Hermione."
Corvin never showed his relief but the air around him became slightly less tense as the king said this and moved on to the rest of their group. The king stopped in front of him and Corvin looked him straight in the eyes. Everyone soon became tense as neither looked away; minutes passed as finally both blinked and then nodded their heads at the other and introduced themselves.
"Corvin Dantil Sparda-Potter"
"King Zine of Twilit Walker"
Both of them nodded again and the king moved on as the others sighed in relief at nothing happening like they had begun to fear would. After the introductions and the moving of everyone to the royal dining hall for mid afternoon lunch, the king asked, "What of my kingdom have you and your companions seen while here Corvin?"
"As of yet, nothing other than here in the palace and the courtyard we landed in," he replied after taking a drink of the juice being served with the meal. The others nodded at this even as the final member of the royal family came in with her instructors Zackary Faire and Balthier the sky pirate. Noticing the guests she curtsied before her father and the others and said, "Forgive my lateness, my honorable father, but the training I had for today was held up by how much I and my instructors needed to do before hand."
"Peace, daughter, I would like to introduce guests of your siblings, Lord Corvin Dantil Sparda-Potter, Lords Vergil and Dante Sparda, Lord Nero, Lady Trish, Mr. Fred Weasley and Mr. George Weasley, and your newly found cousin Lady Duchess Hermione Meraina Lumiere-Dianna-Granger heir of the Merinia Duchess line." The king replied and introduced as each person either nodded or smiled at their name. The Princess nodded back at each and then walked up to her newfound cousin and offered her hand, "I am Princess Xanna fourth heir to the royal throne."
"Lady Duchess Hermione heir apparent for the Merinia Duchess line," Hermione replied with all decorum and offered her hand as well.
"Now that we are all acquainted mind introducing your instructors since we your siblings only know one of them?" The royal twins asked sarcastically. Laughing lightly, the king motioned the two men forward. One all suave and grace the other all hyper energy, both make impressive men and fighters to the gifted eye.
"These are two of the travelers who have found a home in my kingdom from their own worlds. Zack Faire ex-SOLDIER First class, Lieutenant to General Sephiroth of the Shinra Electric Company from the world of Gaia, Balthier, sky pirate of the world of Invalice (is that correct?) long ranged expert, and as he says the leading man."
Balthier walks forward and takes Hermione's hand and kisses it then says, "I'm still looking for my leading lady, interested?"
Zack nudges him in the side as he hops past and says, "Nice to meet you."
"Hey wasn't Sephiroth one of the two you wanted to meet bro?" Dante asked Vergil not noticing the smirk growing on his face while the others who did just shake their heads. Zack hearing what Dante said jumped forward next to them and said, "You want to meet Seph?"
Vergil nods his head as he looks at the man known as a puppy while Dante stares at the man before him and thinks, we are screwed if he can really take us to see this Sephiroth.
Zack grins and slings an arm over Vergil's shoulder and said, "Great follow me he Sephy should be out training the recruits right about now." Behind them Dante groaned as he realized they were screwed.
