Place- Chancellor Palpatine's office
Time-A few minutes after the defeat of Darth Sidious
Darth Nihilus looked at the corpse of the force drained sith. Darth Sidious was the toughest opponent to date, but was made even harder with the interference of Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin, and Agen Kolar. "I had this under control until you barged in here, Windu!" Nihilus hissed coldly at the senior jedi master, who winced. Fisto knelt next to the unconscious form of master Tiin, before nodding to Windu. Mace looked at Nihilus as he said "Skywalker warned us about the sith lord and we came to stop him, but you were here before we could do anything." Nihilus snorted in disgust at Windu's explanation "And you would have died and Order 66 would have killed off almost all of your jedi order. Your luck I didn't allow that to happen, jedi." Nihilus turned and walked out, pausing at the door and said "Several of your jedi have asked me to take them with me, to train so they could use the full power of the force. Shaak Ti, Aayla Secura, Fenis Teron; one of Yoda's younglings, and Plo Koon." Nihilus left to find the jedi he mentioned and take them to The Wrath.
He found Aayla with Fenis standing on the steps of the jedi temple, Aayla smiled warmly "Shaak Ti is getting Plo Koon ready to go. They should be here in a few minutes." She told him and Nihilus nodded as he knelt in front of the youngling and asked "So, Fenis, ready to learn more about the force from both sides?" Fenis grinned broadly and said "Yes, Master Nihilus! I am ready!" Nihilus ruffled the younglings hair before standing up as Shaak Ti and Plo Koon walked down the temple steps. "Packed for the trip?" Plo Koon nodded at Nihilus' question as Shaak Ti asked "So, how are we supposed to get to your ship?" "Grab my cloak and hang on." Nihilus said and the jedi did as he said, he then shadow-ported them to the bridge of The Wrath.
Place-The Wrath
Time-3 hours later
"Project Jumper is a go." Nihilus nodded to Narcissa and her apprentice, Bellatrix, as they started up the main drive for the jump. Project Jumper was made so Nihilus' fleet could jump from one universe to another like it was a normal hyperspace jump, but over the multiverse. "Course laid, ready to jump...in 3-2-1, Jump!" Bella said over the com system to the entire fleet. The lines of space warped around them before changing to red, then green, black, then back to blue once more. Nihilus watched all of this as the force shifted with every color before returning to normal as the color show ended. "Coming out of the jump in 3, 2, 1." Narcissa pulled the hyperspace lever down slowly and the view of hyperspace gave way to normal space. "Where are we in the multiverse, Bella?" Nihilus asked as he walked over and looked over the black sister's shoulders. "It looks like we left the our universe and entered a...what is that?" Nihilus looked at the screen and saw a massive disc that looked like a halo for an angel.
"That is not supposed to be there...Where is earth?" Nihilus asked, his eyes couldn't stop staring at the massive halo thing. "On the opposite side of the sun, that...disc...needs to got. The scans show that it's a giant life destruction weapon…" "Remove it, NOW!" Nihilus snarled as the Black sisters nodded and started powering up the weapon systems. The rest of the fleet would start powering up their weapon systems as well as soon as they read the order to destroy the massive disc. The halo disc was vaporized and didn't stand a chance. "Disc destroyed." nihilus smiled and then ordered "Have the fleet orbit Earth, I want scans of the entire planet." Nihilus then left to get a search party ready to explore the new Earth.
Place- France, Earth - Harry Potter/Halo universe
Time-2:00 AM July 15, 2001
Harry sat on the log and watched the fire crackle and pop in the cold morning. Ever since the SPARTAN Project was cancelled, he and his team were the only Spartans left from the entire project. He was Master Chief, the best of the best, his AI companion was Gabrielle Delacour, by some magical means Gabby turned herself into an AI but was still human. She had to eat, sleep, and drink like normal people but was Harry's partner and made his Mjolnir mark VI work at all times. "Harry, my scanners are picking something up…" Gabby said worriedly as she looked up from her place next to him, her 7 year old body shimmering blue as she prepared to enter Harry's armor. "Tell the others to get here quickly." Grabbing his helmet, Harry put it on and made sure his assault rifle was loaded. The rest of his team arrived a moment later, weapons at the ready.
His team comprised of Fleur, Hermione, Luna and Neville. "Something is close…" Neville said quietly, his DMR raised and pointed at the forest ahead of them. Fleur lifted her shotgun, Hermione raised her twin SMGs, and Luna held her needlers at the ready. "On your left!" Gabby screamed in fright as a crimson blade came down at his head. Harry ducked and rolled to the right, before letting his assault rifle start ripping at the black figure that nearly killed him. The rest of his team let loose their weapons as well, but it was all deflected upon impact with the red blade. "Reloading, cover me!" Fleur called as she started reloading her shotgun as quickly as she could, only to grab her throat and started choking. "Fleur!" Harry and Gabby shouted as they watched their teammate was tossed into a thick tree, the sound of Fleur bodily crashing into a tree was sickening but her armor kept her from breaking every bone in her body.
"One down, 4 more to go...though I must say that this is impressive, my alternate counterpart. Very impressive indeed." The tall dark figure commented as he then proceeded to knock out the rest of his team, leaving only Harry standing. "Gabby, did you pack the energy swords like I asked?" Harry asked as he reached for a hidden slot in his armor and was answered with the hilt of a elite energy sword. "You want to have a sword fight, I'll give you one." Harry said and charged at the dark figure. The dark figure raised his hand and sent Harry flying backwards, crashing into the dirt. The dark figure stepped into the light of the fire, revealing himself. Gabby had brought up the results of her scan of the figure, he was 6ft 7in. Wearing all black and had a mask that radiated an unknown energy source from it, and was holding a sword that was like the energy sword but was a different design.
Raising his sword, the man said "I'm Darth Nihilus, one of your multiversal counterparts. I was Harry James Potter before I changed my name to Darth Nihilus. You are Harry Potter as well." Harry stared at Nihilus, who was him if Nihilus was to be trusted. "Why should I trust you?" Harry asked calmly and Nihilus chuckled as he deactivated his weapon, removed his mask and lifted his black hood, revealing and older version of himself. "I am you and before you ask, screw paradox's that could destroy this universe at any moment. I don't care, but it's good to see someone that fights evil." Harry pulled his helmet off as his mind was blown, though he could hear Gabby trying to hide her snickering. "So, what do you want?" Nihilus smiled before walking up and holding out his hand "I just want to talk to you, without the rest of your team bugging us. Don't worry, they're not dead, only knocked out." Harry stared at Nihilus, this was going to be the weirdest conversation ever, just saying.
