The Council of Balance: Chapter 6

-Prometheus Resurgence-

Place-Hogwarts

Time-October 30, 2002 (3rd year in this universe)

Lily Potter, DADA professor for 2 years running, sat in her office, looking at the magical picture of her and her son in their spartan armor before Luna said that she would die if Harry stayed with her. Lily sighed, that was several months ago and she missed her son terribly. Lily's AI, Cortana, was playing a holographic game of solitaire on her shoulder, humming a disney theme song. That was when she heard the crash in her classroom, something heavy had just destroyed the desks from the sounds coming from below. "Cortana, could you scan what is in the classroom downstairs." Cortana looked up before her natural blue paled "Promethean Knight…" she stammered and that was all that Lily needed. Grabbing her M6 pistol, Lily made sure it was loaded before reaching for her glamered armor. "Aaarrrggghhh!" Lily was grabbed as spun around, the face of a Promethean Knight roared in her face, she lifted her pistol and shoot the alien demon point blank, killing it.

The body of the knight fell to the floor, glowing for a few moments before losing the glow. Alien technology and Hogwarts magic didn't mix, apparently, she then grab her armor and it slid up and over her body. "Raggh?" "Kill it!" She heard a very familiar voice cry and the Knight screamed as it was shot down. "Is that...Harry?" Lily asked herself before her office door was blasted open and standing in the doorway was a 6ft 6 in tall spartan with the insignia John-117 on the left side of the chest armor. Next to him was a dark figure that was as tall as her, 6ft 7in tall, in a mask that radiated power. "Mum?" The startan asked in worry before ripping his helmet off and handing it to the dark clothed man. Her son had tears in his eyes and he ran up and gave Lily a bear hug. "You're safe, I thought we came too late…" Lily's helmet melted away, revealing her youthful face.

"Who's the tall guy?" Cortana asked as she pointed at the tall figure, who chuckled at he question. "I'm your son's multiversal counterpart from one of the many universes out there. Darth Nihilus is my name, Mrs.?"

"Cortana" The AI smiled at Nihilus, warmly.

Lily and Harry looked up, both have the same expression of joy that turned into mild confusion for Lily and sniggering for Harry. Nihilus activated his weapon and stabbed a teleporting Promethean Knight through the chest as it formed in front of him. "Bloody nuisances these promethean knights." The Knight fell to the floor, gurgling in its alien language as it died. "Mum, we need to have you on the team." Harry told his mother and Lily could only smile and nod. Her helmet reformed around Lily's head before she grabbed her pistol and her covenant carbine.

The Promethean Knights were everywhere, though they were having trouble taking the students of Hogwarts prisoner. Lily blasted several Knights through the head, that were attacking a seventh year and four third years. Nihilus slashed and cut his way through the ever thickening crowd of Promethean warriors with his lightsaber, but they seemed to keep coming. "Ok, someone is making it so these 'Knights' can get inside the school." Harry deadpanned as he punched a Knight in the face. Nihilus nodded as he blasted several of the knights with lightning from his hand, the screams of the aliens muffled by their helmets.

"We need a new plan. So, does anyone have one?" Nihilus asked as he sliced another promethean cleanly in two.

Lily reloaded her carbine as she watched her son and Nihilus talk before she raised her weapon and shot a grunt in the head. "The Promethean's aren't the only ones in here." She said as the new threat appeared. Nihilus raised his lightsaber at a Elite as he said "This just got interesting."

Time-4 Hours later still In battle

Nihilus grunted as he parried the Elites energy weapon with his lightsaber. This had been going on for several hours and this Elite was making him look bad. "You know," Nihilus said conversationally, "we've been going at this for who knows how long. Could we call it a draw and be on our merry way?" The Elite glared at him before he said in perfect english "No"

"I thought not." Nihilus parried, then parried again. Nihilus flipped over the alien and stabbed him through the back. The Elite dropped dead after Nihilus pulled his lightsaber out, deactivating it and placing it back on his belt. "Got anything on the invasion force?" Nihilus asked over the comlink, as he walked through the hall, ignoring the dead bodies of Covenant and Prometheans. "We just engaged them up here so they forces on the ground won't be reinforced." Luna replied.

"Well, show them what we have to offer, Luna." Nihilus said before he started walking faster. He had to find his other self and tell them what he had just been told but where were they? He paused then looked around, realizing that something was definitely wrong. Nihilus was not in the body covered hallway anymore, but in a clean hallway that was familiar. "Wait a minute...I'm in the corridor on the third floor." Nihilus muttered to himself. Something was definitely off about all of this. Shadow-porting himself to the astronomy tower, Nihilus gazed out over the grounds of Hogwarts. Rain was sprinkling lightly over the grounds, Nihilus noticed that several students were swimming in the lake and were playing with the giant squid, the rain stopped suddenly.

"Nihilus, do you read me, over?" Nihilus activated his comlink and answered "Fleur? Whats going on, I was in a battle a moment ago before I appeared somewhere else…" Fleur cut him off as she said "Nihilus, you vanished from the universe we were in. We have been trying to find you for 3 years now." Nihilus' heart stopped, he had vanished and was gone for 3 years. "Is my other counterpart ok?" He asked quietly, hoping that Harry did survive the battle. "Yes, there ok, after you vanished, the alien invasion was quickly squashed. But we've been jumping from universe to universe to find you." Fleur said. "Just so I know, what universe are we in now?" He asked.

"Were in a Percy Jackson/Harry Potter/Star Wars universe, why?" Fleur said confusedly. "Because I think I'm staring at the goddess of the moon right now." Nihilus said as the goddess of the hunt, moon, and childbirth walked up to him and said coldly "You will come with me, Male."
