City of Sparta
Spartan Empire
May 2nd 2000
2478th year of Queen Kassandra's reign
2496 years old, Kassandra sat on her throne, looking at the map of the world with wonder. Had she done enough? She looked to the eastern section of her Empire and that of her allies, the SRU, a militarized and economic powerhouse that showed its strength repeatedly.
But the west? Besides the British Empire the west was starting to crumble under its divisions and political games, hell to be fair even the British were starting to crumble albeit slowly from political corruption.
And the EU? While Kassandra did not have to go through with the Euro devaluation, the sheer threat had done the damage required. The Union was no longer a threat to Sparta. Its economy had taken a hit as other nations revalued the Euro against their own in preparation for the SRU to change there's.
Her little Victoria had unlocked her divine powers, much to her relief, and her grandchild would be safe. She just wished she didn't have to go through such a scare at such a young age. Looking up, she saw her loyal companion since she was a child.
"Oh Ikaros, could I have done more? The west is starting to crumble again it reminds me of the Romans all over again. Kassandra asked her loyal Eagle companion who rubbed his head on her face making her smile.
But that nagging feeling remained: Should she bring order to this planet by bringing the might of the empire to the Western nations or one of her other two contingency plans?
The oldest being (the Titan Protocol) having been created years ago and was well known to the Military High Command and Senate, the one they didn't know of was created by Kassandra herself.
The Titan Protocol, was the Empires doomsday weapon it would use the magic of the empire and divine powers of the monarch and unleash a blast of powerful magic that targeted all advance technology outside the SRU, effectively sending the rest of the worlds advancement back to the Stone age.
The new contingence plan was still being planed only Kassandra herself knew the entire design, she knew her wife was getting suspicious due to its rising cost, the only thing people knew was its name, Project Starborn. (Revan Shan here if anyone gets that little easter egg well done.)
standing from her throne she made he way out towards the doors only to stop as said doors opened revealing her wife who looked angry.
"Kass, what's going on? Every day, you are in here for hours at a time alone," Hippolyta asked her wife. Seeing her wife's worry in her eyes, Kassandra told her what was bothering her, earning her a tight hug from Hippolyta.
The two walked towards their private chambers to sleep, holding each other as they went to sleep. The affairs of the outside world could wait; what matters now is being with family and sleeping.

James Potter sat with a glass of Whiskey, the muggle brand, as he needed the stronger stuff for this. The British Empire, or at least the magical half, was starting to crumble from the inside out. The Ministry was completely powerless to maintain order for the magical world and had split into various political factions, all looking to take command of Magical Britain and the Magical Half of the Empire.
All of this was happening with the sudden disappearance of Albus Dumbledore from his office in Hogwarts in December 99. No one had seen or heard from him by Merlin, and no one knew what happened to him.
The Hellsing Organization was spread thin across the Empire dealing with Undead and remnants of Millenium or the Death Eater Remnants, (yes some of those morons still existed, well their children and those who grew disillusioned with the current ministry.)
And yes, that even included Alucard and his new minion Seras Victoria, he was Supporting the Organisation by providing it with 50% of its funding as a favour to the crown. It also may have helped that he was providing a great service to the Crown and Empire he was given a Tax exemption for as long as funded the Hellsing Organization.
His Family was safe for now. Despite the obvious factions emerging, they all feared the Spartan Queen. His literal Goddess of an eldest Child had reminded the magical world what happens when you mess with her family. The Massacre of Delacour Villa was still fresh in the minds of people across Europe.
Right now, he was reading the latest letter he received from one of the factions the British ministry had split into. This was from Theodore Nott Jr., son of a Death Eater yet currently a member of the Order of the Lions of Britannia.
Lord Potter
I write to you this day to offer an alliance between your house and our political alliance to help restore order before it is too late.
As you are no doubt aware the Ministry has been in chaos since the Disappearance of Headmaster Dumbledore, order needs to be maintained and our group believes you are the best choice to be Minister for Magic for Magical Britian.
Your ancestry and international connections make you the best candidate, yes, I do mean your family's ties to the Immortal Queen.
I urge you to accept our offer the other factions will attempt to gain your support if they already have, the Magical Libertarian League and the Enchanters of Abraxas, will tear the country apart forcing the Monarch to send Hellsing with The Crimson Fuckr leading the charge, or the Spartan Battlemages.
I can honestly tell you I don't know what's worse, anyway the next session of the Wizengamot is being held in 4 days' time, I ask you to let us know before this date if you accept our offer.
May the Gods bless you
Lord Theodore Nott Jr.
Lord of the Ancient and Most Noble House of Nott.
James leaned back on his chair taking a deep breath, him become Minister for Magic of the British Isles could he do the job? He was brought out of his thoughts as the door opened revealing Susan Bones, sorry Susan Potter as she was known as now having married his son Nick, his daughter Erica was in her 2nd year at Hogwarts she had however broken from recent tradition and had been sorted into Ravenclaw.
Kassandra had enjoyed the look on his face when he read the letter from his daughter that arrived a few days after she was sorted.
"You should run for the position," Susan told him, getting his attention as she held the letter. You could be a great Minister; the factions would be forced to fall in line if you were elected, and with Kassandra backing you (Susan was brought into the know about Kassandra), you have the best chance of stabilising the country."
Leaving him alone to spend time with her husband, James decided he would do it, preparing a letter he wrote about his conversion to the young Lord Nott. He was quickly informed that it would be announced in the Daily Prophet evening edition.
James then realised he hadn't told his wife, who was still teaching at Hogwarts, and he had just gone for a high-ranking job without letting her know. He was going to regret this, by Merlin, where in the name of Hades was Albus.
Meanwhile in Kassandria Egypt
Spartan empire.
"So, let me get this straight you just decided to walk away from everything on a whim just to see what would happen.? Diana Asked the aged Headmaster of Hogwarts who was currently sitting in a nice apartment he had rented in the main city near the Great Library with a cup of tea painting the view of the city from his balcony.
"That pretty much sums it up yes," Albus told her as he worked on his painting stopping for a quick sip of tea. "Unlike you and your family my dear, my old age is catching up with me."
Diana smiled; she understood his reasoning: He was nearly two centuries old, quite a feat for a mortal, even if he was a magic user. "I am guessing that my mother and some others know where you are, at least."
Turns out the Queen of England knew he was in Spartan empire but only her mother knew exactly where he was and respected his need to get away for a bit, despite the pure chaos he helped increase on the current situation in Magical Britian.

Lily Potter was in complete shock at the Prophet's headlines. At first, she was under the impression that her husband had fallen into his old Marauder ways, but deep down, she knew what she read was true.
LORD POTTER TO RUN FOR MINISTER FOR MAGIC!
That's right my dear readers, Lord James Potter has publicly declared his intent to run for Minister for Magic, after current Minister Fudge was ousted by a single vote in the last Wizengamot sessions last April.
Lord Nott, the head of the Lions of Britania Party has declared the full support of his faction behind James Potter, stating that Lord Potter was the perfect candidate to restore our country to its proper place within the Empire.
With his connections and alliance with the Spartan Empire James potter is indeed the best choice for minister, let us see if he wins the votes of the Wizengamot.
It was a sure victory for James Potter. Two weeks later, he won the majority vote of the Wizengamot, and he now found himself at Windsor Castle, officially appointed by the Queen as the new Minister for Magic for the British Isles.
The Interim Minister Amelia Bones Glady took his offer to be renamed as his Director for the DMLE,
Albus Dumbledore, who had returned last week from his mission as he was calling his leave of absence told him he would stay on for the first year of his term before retiring all his posts but the Headmastership of Hogwarts.
Turning, he saw his daughter Kassandra with her family talking to Erica and Susan. Seeing him walking towards them, Susan turned and nodded to him. "Congratulations on your appointment, minister. The Empire looks forward to continuing prosperous trade between Magical Brittain and the empire."
Smiling at his daughter, he bowed his head, seeing her slightly nudge her head to the various members of the Ministry watching the interaction. "Thank you, Queen Kassandra. I know my administration will be most willing to reopen trade with Sparta. Will Erica still be coming with you to Sparta this summer?"
Kassandra smiled, seeing the gawking crowd. Her father's casual way of speaking to her earned him a lot of political protection, especially since his daughter would be going to Sparta to live with her for the summer.
By the year 2001 Magical Britain would have made a full recovery and be far more stable, but James would be very wary of the different political factions that still existed, the problem was when he became Minister there were 3 factions, now there were 6 as the Enchanter's of Abraxas and the Magical Libertarian League had fractured, wanting to make change, but lacked the political and finical capital to do any significant damage.
He would also become a grandfather again, as Susan Potter would give birth to a baby Girl, whom they would call Diana Amelia Potter. She was named after her Great aunt Amelia and her Cousin Princess Diana, who was also named her God's mother, much to the Princess's joy.
But things would not be nice for long as on the 25th September 2001, the United States would launch a peacekeeping force to the Venezuelan Empire after its oil refineries were attacked by what the US Government says was Imperial Soldiers dressed in civilian attire.
What the general population didn't know was that this was a False flag mission by a resurgent Enclave directly ordered by the Enclave President Bush who was also the current President of the United States.

"Mr President, Military Forces have landed at punto fijo and are securing the Airport near the city." Enclave Commander Philip Jackson told the President as he read the latest report personally, he was worried that the Empire of Venezuela was no longer under the protection of the SRU, which was true, and it was heavily divided by Civil war due to a succession crisis.
But their coming in under the guise of protecting American assets in the area would not hold for long, as the world realised US forces were more interested in the oil fields and rigs of the coast than the stability of the Empire.
Authors Note: Yep, just like in the games the Enclave are back, yes, I know the knew issue is remarkably close to a real-life thing but I refused to use that situation as due to the current world politics in this story that other situation is not a large possibility, but most importantly out of respect I apologies if I offend anyone with this rework of that time period.
Until next time, Revan Shan 2077.
