End AN
AN2: I had to restrain myself from publishing this chapter early. Here we see the end of stargate Atlantis and the complete Underworld Universe. Atlantis ended early because I frankly did not want to write three more seasons of it. I think I got all the important episodes and ended the series in a believable fashion. The underworld universe I thought was pretty interesting. Next chapter begins the Star Wars universe. I have all of the fic split into chapters and there are 37 of them. So chapter 37 will be the final chapter of the fic. Happy reading.
Chapter 34
January 2nd 2006…
I saw the awaiting SGA team up ahead as I finished the relaxing walk I just took from the gate. There was a mountain I had to jump down from but other than that it was pretty easy going. There were too many trees to land a ship and I didn't really want to transport down. All this time in the Stargate verse has made me soft to physical feats worthy of a powerful being. Jumping down the mountain made me feel alive.
"Colonel," called out Major Anne Teldy in case I hadn't noticed her team already.
She saluted as they arrived before me and I saluted back.
"This is Sgt. Mehra, Dr. Porter, and of course you've already met Captain Vega," Anne introduced all of her very attractive team.
"I didn't realize you uh," I began.
"That my team was a bunch of girls sir," finished Anne.
"Oh no…that your team was comprised of some of the most attractive women I've met in the four galaxies I've been to," I answered with my most charming smile.
As I let my aura free a bit I sensed four hot pussies getting very wet with arousal.
"Shall we," Anne directed as she began walking, barely keeping the moan out of her voice.
I followed the four hot women while looking through their clothes.
"He's mine," I heard Alison whisper to Captain Alicia Vega.
"I knew him first," Alicia argued back.
"Well he's your commanding officer," argued Alison.
"You both cool it. If the rumors I've heard are true there is plenty of Harry Demire to go around and you will have to learn to share," I heard Anne whisper back harshly.
Both women nodded their agreement before we continued on, none of them ever realizing I could hear them.
"We were passing through the area when we picked up a low level energy signature. We were able to triangulate and get a lock on the signal, then follow it down into these catacombs," Alison explained as we entered the cave system. "It's a bit of a walk. The signal finally led us to this," Allison informed me as we walked into what was obviously a wraith lab.
"And seeing as how none of us can read wraith and you are the expert on wraith we immediately called you," Anne added.
"Stasis pods," I muttered as I walked up and began scanning said pods. "Well aren't there some nasty bastards in here," I announced as I examined the scans of the creatures created by wraith experiments.
I wasn't sure if this was actually Michael's lab. The expedition doctors never experimented on Michael like they did in canon. Trying to turn a wraith into a human was not a good idea. Even if you altered his DNA completely wraith souls were not human souls. Due to my altering of the gate travel order we wouldn't be going to the planet where the retrovirus to turn a wraith into a human was discovered for many years. This lab and the experiments it contains could be the work of any number of wraith.
"No don't touch that," I screamed at Alison as I turned to see her messing with the main control console.
It was too late as the stasis pods shut down while their doors all opened. Blood curdling howls and screams came from the creatures that emerged. Their eyes were covered over with scars as a type of fog was emitted from gills on their necks. These creatures hunted by sound but were not nocturnal. Obviously the wraith didn't want his experiments discovered by others so booby trapped the console to release his creations on whoever tried to retrieve the data about them.
"Shit," cried Alison as the creatures all began to rush us at once.
I could see there were dozens more creatures than there had been in canon. I didn't know if they were even the same beings as the ones from canon or even the same as the several I had just scanned. I wasn't about to take the chance that my prospective wives would get hurt. With a wave of telekinesis I pushed them all back against the wall and raised a powerful shield in front of them.
"What the hell is going on," I heard Anne call as I faced the creatures.
"This shouldn't take long," I yelled back in reply as the first creature reached me.
A punch took off the first one's head. My sweeping kick blasted through the body of the second. They just kept coming as I began to tear them to pieces.
"Harry," Dusty Mehra yelled in alarm, followed by similar exclamations from the others as they watched the creatures swarm over me and obscure me from their view.
A moment later it appeared as if all the beasts on me burst into flame, their bodies quickly turning to ash as I stood from where they pressed at me glowing with fire swirling from my aura. Unfortunately my uniform did not survive the release of my powers.
"My god," Alicia Vega exclaimed as she stared at my nude form.
"You said it sister," agreed Anne.
Turning to face the remaining creatures coming at me I activated one of my many powers. Twin bright red beams shot out of my eyes as my DNA temporarily changed to Kryptonian. The creatures screamed out in agony as they were cut in half before they died quickly.
"Is it over," asked Alison in the silence.
"Almost," I muttered as I blurred before them to catch the last creature as it tried to hide form my gaze behind an outcropping.
I soon returned before them and waved my hand to vanish the shield.
"You aren't human…that makes so much more sense," Alison stated as all four women circled around me.
"Nope…I can be anything I want but you can call me sex god Harry," I replied with a grin.
"Aren't you going to put some clothes on," asked Alicia even though I could tell she didn't want me to.
"No…actually I was hoping you would join me," I replied as I increased their arousal with my aura while vanishing all the gore from my body and the surrounding cave.
"I thought you would never ask," muttered Dusty as she rushed to remove her clothes quickly being followed by her teammates.

January 9th 2006…
Neeva Casol appeared in a room of obviously advanced design after being squeezed through what felt like a small tube. She had been on a planet where she and her accomplices stashed their loot. Her recent heist gave her a very good haul and she was eagerly examining it when she had been pulled away. Judging by the design and the ability to transport her through time and space Neeva guessed she was on the city of the Ancestors, Atlantis.
"Neeva Casol, for the crimes of murder, theft, and more murder you are sentenced to be the sex slave of my husband Harry," announced a voice from behind Neeva as she turned to face a very beautiful woman.
Jennifer was the one to pull Neeva to Atluria after the trouble the thief would have caused her had I not come to this reality. Switching bodies through an Alteran communications terminal and then almost getting Jennifer executed for Neeva's crimes made my Jennifer eager to dish out some retribution. I was perfectly happy to let her.

January 23rd 2006, Wraith Space Station deep within enemy territory…
I docked on the station before sending my entrance codes. When I was granted access I made my way to the meeting chamber where I found several dozen more wraith waiting. Each stood beside a holographic projection of their queen. In times past when the food supply was plentiful the queens would have come in the flesh but that was no longer intelligent. Instead each queen sent her strongest warrior along with a holographic relay so that she could be present in some form. I waited for some time before all of the other wraith showed up. In total I counted forty-five queens, some controlling multiple hives.
I would estimate there were about seventy-nine hive ships along with many more support cruisers in this galaxy.
"What is to be done about the Lantians? They are starving us. We must destroy them once more," asked a wraith queen as her soldier pressed a button to project her hologram to the center of the massive chamber.
As the oldest queen this wraith was allowed to speak first. I listened as several suggestions were put forth but quickly shot down. Finally I pressed the button to project my queen, Queen C, also known as Queen Cordelia by some of her lovers into the center of the chamber. Cordelia was portraying a wraith queen while I temporarily had the genetic structure of a wraith, an interesting experience to say the least.
"My spies have discovered that the Lantians have just finished construction on a massive stargate capable of ferrying their ships quickly to and from their home galaxy. This supergate will allow us to reach earth because only the matching supergate in their home galaxy will connect," explained Cordelia as she projected the hologram of the system where the supergate was constructed.
"We will need to join all our forces to take this supergate from the Lantians," spoke up the oldest queen.
"Yes, but we should hold back ten of our hives with at least five queens should this attack fail. That should be enough to keep our species alive and rebuild like we did when the Lantians last pushed our numbers so small," answered Cordelia.
"All in favor of going after this rich new feeding ground," asked the old queen officiating the meeting.
Forty-five holograms briefly changed color to signify their approval. From there the discussion turned to tactics.
January 30th 2006…
"Everything is in place Harry. We have the wraith entering the system in five minutes," announced Hedalkis from his holographic projection just off to the side of my chair.
"Excellent. I will be ready Captain," I replied as I closed my eyes and concentrated on all the readings the chair was feeding me.
Atlantis was at my command as she floated next to the supergate cloaked, out of phase, and with her shields on full. The Orion, Tria, and a ten earth ships were also in similar positions on the outskirts of the system. The Aurora and Andromeda were both visible and making it look like they were patrolling the system. The wraith were led to believe that the sensor dispersion fields that one of their most brilliant scientists had created would cloak them from our sensors. That might have been true if the brilliant scientist in question wasn't me under disguise as a different wraith than the one I appeared at during the conference.
"I still don't understand how you managed to lure all of the wraith here Harry," muttered Rodney over the intercom from the gate room.
"It was his natural charm Meredith," I heard Jeannie smugly reply from beside her brother.
"Besides it wasn't all of the wraith Rodney. There is still a small contingent awaiting word in a nearby system," added Elizabeth.
"Which Ayiana will take care of shortly," stated Rodney.
"Rodney stop distracting everybody," I heard Katie Brown whispered to her fiancé.
"I told you it was a good idea to have her here," Jeannie whispered to Elizabeth loud enough for me to here.
"Yes, she does seem to handle him better than you do," answered Elizabeth with a smile.
Rodney has become my good friend over our time working on Atlantis. When he told me he wanted to propose to Katie I set everything up so that it was the most romantic experience of Katie's life. By me I mean my wives set it up. Katie was swept off her feet and said yes. I'm happy to see things have really worked out for Rodney.
"They are here," I announced to silence all of the chatter in the gate room.
Dozens upon dozens of hyperspace windows were opening up as all of the wraith hives but a small number jumped into the system along with their support crews. They immediately headed for the Aurora and Andromeda.
"Is that all of them," I heard Rodney ask nervously.
"Yes," I replied as I triggered the field generators set up all around the system under heavy invisibility and phase cloak over the past several months.
A hyperspace jamming field immediately went up, making most forms of interdimensional travel impossible. Only the dimension in which our phase cloaks worked was excluded from the jamming field's power. Of course we were sure the wraith had yet to figure out how to access that dimension so we were unworried about their escape. The field extended far outside the system.
"Activating drones now," I announced as more drones than there were wraith ships began popping out of the cities' shield and speeding towards many different targets.
On their respective ships each of the Alteran commanders of the Aurora, the Andromeda, the Tria, and the Orion took control of twenty or so of the drones I had just launched. Even though I could control all the drones at once it was much less strenuous on my mind to let my Alteran commanders help out. The highly volatile drones had been seriously upgraded in the period of time since the return of the Alterans to Atlantis. Instead of allowing the enemy to see the drone coming each drone was equipped with an invisibility rune I showed the Alterans how to inscribe and charge with their vacuum energy powers. The payload of the drones was no longer an explosive but the exotic radiation generator necessary to mutate the wraith sexually transmitted disease housed in front of the generator.
Upon further experimentation it was found that mutating the disease too early has very undesirable affects. The sexually transmitted disease can mutate to affect humans as Rodney found out for a short time before he was healed in an ADD. After that experience he swore never to play with the exotic radiation generator again.
"This is rather anticlimactic don't you think," I heard Rodney comment once more as everybody in the city watched a holographic projection of the battle.
All of the wraith vessels were being struck by the invisible drones before several seconds later the mutated disease ate through the hulls of the bioships.
"Would you rather we have gone with plan B first Rodney," asked Elizabeth with one eyebrow raised.
"It would have been interesting at least," answered Rodney.
"That it would," Elizabeth had to concede at the thought of allowing the wraith to take the supergate which just happened to lead to the Ori galaxy where a second supergate was constructed under heavy cloak just in case we had to introduce the wraith to the Ori.
"Explain to me how the supergate would function without a black hole," Rodney asked one of the Alterans monitoring the situation beside him.
"You will not understand it Dr. McKay. The science is too far beyond even you. We have the ability to temporarily create black holes for whatever period of time we need to, including the exact amount of time necessary to power a wormhole to our galaxy of origin," answered the Alteran.
"Amazing," said Rodney as he thought of the possibilities.
"Indeed," Ryac agreed from his spot next to Elizabeth.
"Just out of curiosity did we have a plan C," asked Rodney.
"We do but you don't need to know about it," answered Elizabeth as she reached out over the bond and checked the status of plan C.
In case the wraith had somehow managed to defy all odds and overtake Atlantis there was a fleet of my most advanced ships waiting outside the system invisible to all detection. They were five hundred vessels strong which was only a small portion of my current fleet. In every reality I have visited a fully automated and hidden ship production facility has been created. So far ten thousand advanced ships have been constructed ready to be commanded by my neural interface with the chair in Atluria to go to whatever reality they were needed in. I'm a firm believer in overkill. If that wasn't sufficient firepower to enforce my will then Aphrodite and myself would be needed.
By the time Rodney's questions were finished so too were the wraith. I deactivated the hyperspace jamming field before Ayiana jumped back into the system via wormhole drive with her small contingent which had just finished off the wraith hidden in another system.
"The enemy of all human and Alteran life in this galaxy is gone forever. We must give thanks for the sexually transmitted disease which afflicted wraith queens," announced Ayiana to all the ships present.
"And now it is time to party," cried Jeannie into the fleet com.
I sensed a cheer rise up in all the ships within the system before we began the massive party which due to a little interference on my part via my aura would ultimately turn into a massive orgy back on the planet Atlantis calls its home.
Soon after the party was over and I recovered from the ravishing of all my Pegasus wives I expanded my consciousness to a new reality.
Underworld Universe…
When I appeared in the newest reality I intended to make a home in I found myself in the body of a vampire werewolf hybrid. My name is Michael Corvin. Fortunately for me this type of vampire is a completely different breed than those of my home reality. These vamps keep their souls. I was very glad of that fact when I gazed at the beauty that was Selene, the vamp currently leading me away from the cluster fuck that was the past few hours. I had gone from med intern in Paris to learning about a war between Vampires and Lycans. Then I had been turned into both; the former by Selene when I was dying from silver nitrate bullets.
Selene led me deep into the woods to what appeared to be an abandoned mine shaft. Appearances were deceiving because I watched Selene expose a hidden electronic keypad where she tapped in the code and used her thumbprint to open the very modern magnetic lock on a nearby door.
"Perfect," muttered Selene sarcastically after she walked down the stairs into the dark room to find the light didn't work.
She pulled out a flash light and walked further in with her gun scanning the room. I could see perfectly well in the dark. Selene was quite startled when she saw the dead Lycan chained up before us and responded by firing off her automatic hand gun with a short burst. She quickly found the power box and switched the circuit breakers on to bring on the lights. I was breathing heavily with my claws extended and my eyes black. I would have to get used to this new body. It was powerful but I was still adjusting to it.
"This thing's been dead for weeks," said Selene as she picked up an injection gun.
"A serum to stop regression back to human form," I read off the tag on the dead Lycan.
"To study it," added Selene with a nod.
"How long can we rest here before somebody finds us," I asked.
"Not long…these safe houses are all linked together on one mainframe with motion sensors revealing which ones are active. Someone could have picked us up already," answered Selene as she opened the nearby weapons cage and began stuffing a duffel bag with what she would need.
"Are you going to be able to make it back to the mansion before sunrise? You only have about an hour," I pointed out.
"Just," confirmed the beautiful dark haired vampire.
"Alright…I'll back you up," I informed her.
"No…I'm going alone. If I can plead my case there is a chance you'll be granted sanctuary. Right now you'll be killed on sight. I'm not prepared to risk it," Selene answered as she went over to a blood cooler.
"Selene I can help you. You shouldn't go alone," I replied.
"You're not as strong as you might think. Michael you're unique. There has never been a hybrid before. However ambivalent you might feel about it the truth is your powers could be limitless. It depends on blood. You need to feed. Without it you'll be growing weaker by the second. Use the time for that," Selene instructed me as she handed me a bag of plasma. "There really is no going back Michael, I'm sorry."
"Selene I understand what you did. I'm grateful. You saved my life. I wasn't ready to die. Look go…just stay safe and make sure you come back because if you die…no force in existence will stop me from tracking you down and brining you back, even death," I promised.
Selene had no idea how serious I was. She stared at me intently for a moment and I sensed her extreme attraction towards me. My aura let her feel my attraction as smelled her getting wet. Leaning forward I kissed her tenderly, her lips pressed back softly against mine.
"For luck," I told her with a charming grin that Selene actually returned.
I got the feeling she doesn't smile much. After Selene walked out the door I became invisible and out of phase. Floating through the wall I glided silently behind my prospective lover to make sure she stayed unharmed. I didn't need the blood; my powers will sustain this body indefinitely. Selene only got a few miles from the safe house when she observed a form flying overhead. As she took off running back towards the safe house I followed behind.
Right before she ran down the stairs I phased back into the room and became visible.
"We need to go," she shouted.
I quickly followed Selene's lovely rear encased in skin tight leather up the stairs. We took off running for the nearest major road. We came to a cliff on our way.
"Jump," instructed Selene when she realized it was a greater drop than the building window I jumped out of a few days ago.
I did exactly as she told me and only crouched a bit to absorb the impact when I landed beside her.
"I trust you completely," I told her with a smile.
Any reply was cut off as the crows flew out of the trees a few hundred yards in the distance with great alarm.
"We need to go," Selene told me while trying to stay calm.
"I believe it's too late for that," I replied as I stared down the approaching vamp on wings.
"Marcus," stated Selene in alarm as the very ugly vampire pulled his wings into his back.
"I know what you've done Selene," Marcus stated as he approached Selene.
"Victor deserved his fate and Kraven was no better," argued Selene.
"Kraven has already reaped the rewards of his misdeeds and Victor, Victor deserved his fate many times over," replied Marcus. "A terrible business the slaying of your family…yet so much effort was spent to conceal this matter from me. What do you suppose Victor had to hide? Or perhaps it is you Selene as the last of your wretched family who has something to hide," Marcus said with a growl before blurring with extreme speed as he leapt at Selene.
I intercepted him in mid leap and smashed his body into the nearby rock face. With a growl of rage I wrapped my arms around a nearby thick tree and ripped it form the ground. Selene watched on with wide eyes as I dropped the thick trunk on Marcus.
"Go," shouted Selene as she ran.
I didn't stop to see if Marcus was dead yet before taking off after Selene. We ran out onto the road to see a large diesel truck coming at us. I stood in the road as the driver saw me and slammed on the brakes. I caught the truck as it wouldn't have stopped in time, my body shifting to my hybrid form. I was the color of black space with eyes to match, my body nothing but muscle.
"What the fuck," cursed the driver in French as Selene opened the door.
"Mind if I drive," Selene asked in the same language as her eyes flashed bright blue.
The driver quickly jumped out the other side of the cab in fright.
"Get in," Selene called to me but I just shook my head and leap over the tall side into the back of the truck as I saw Marcus coming.
Selene began driving as fast as she could but it wasn't fast enough as Marcus slammed into me. He drove me back into the cab, shattering the glass window. He got in an uppercut that rocked my head back before I responded with an elbow strike to the face followed by my claws raking across his chest. He screeched at me loudly as I grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up. He grabbed the pendant necklace Selene gave me to hold off my neck. A head but distracted me enough that he was able to break my grip before he kicked me hard in the balls.
"That was a mistake fucker…no male touches my balls," I growled before punching forward with enough strength to cave in Marcus' chest as he was thrown several thousand meters backwards through the air.
The vamp would most likely survive but it would take him a while to recover.
"Are you ok," I asked Selene as I climbed into the cab. My beautiful companion nodded in reply. "He's a hybrid isn't he," I asked.
"Yes," answered Selene.
"He wanted this…why," I asked as I held up the necklace.
"I don't know but we have another problem," Selene answered as she looked at the oncoming sunrise.
"Turn off up here," I instructed as I saw a gravel exit ramp leading up the hillside.
It was too late as Selene's hands started to peel from the sunlight hitting her.
"Get down…keep your foot on the gas but stay down," I told her as I projected a shield over the window that would act like a piece of sunglass, keeping her from burning anymore.
The road soon turned into asphalt as we headed towards a gated old abandoned building. We crashed through the gate followed by the front of the building. I slammed on the brakes and we skidded to a stop. I pulled the shadows around me using shadow magic I learned in my travels.
"You can come up now," I told Selene.
"How are you doing this," she asked in amazement as we climbed out of the truck.
"It's one of my powers," I answered her honestly, just not saying when I got the power.
Waving my hand at the nearby windows the glass was turned black as I transfigured the glass into black plastic. With the shadows wrapped around us I guided Selene over to a cargo container. There were still plenty of holes in the building for light to get through so I broke the chain and padlock before leading Selene inside.
"Let me see your hand please," I asked gently as I lifted her hand carefully to see burned flesh.
Moving her hair to the side I saw she was burnt quite badly around her ear.
"There's really no need," Selene told me.
"But I want to," I told her.
Pulling her hand to my lips I kissed the burnt area and watched as it healed under my power. I grasped a wide eyed Selene's head in my hands and leaned forward to kiss her burnt cheek.
"You are absolutely amazing," gasped Selene.
"You are even more so," I told her as I stared into her eyes.
She leaned forward and pressed her lips to mine, channeling her passion and need through her soft mouth.

"What is it honey," I asked Selene as she picked up the pendant Marcus was after and stared intently at it while I held her nude form with Faith pressed to my back with her head on my shoulder staring at Selene in question as well.
"I've held this as a child," answered Selene as flashes of memories came to her conscious mind after pressing the stud in the center of the pendant and having blades eject out of the sides.
"Yes…it belonged to your father," agreed Faith as she and I watched the images over the bond.
"We need to go visit an old friend. I was too young to remember and those memories are buried behind some very painful ones I don't particularly want to relive which I would if you guys went digging for them," announced Selene as she stood naked before us.
"I think after one more quickie," growled Faith as she caught Selene in a telekinetic grip and pulled our new lover back down to the floor.
Selene was soon moaning her approval of Faith's plans while Aristotle repaired the truck in the building outside our sex container. When we were dressed and in the truck I took the location of our destination from Selene's mind before flaming the entire vehicle nearby.
"That's odd," commented Selene as we pulled up to a gate.
"What is," I asked.
"I don't remember this gate being here before," answered Selene before handing me a gun.
"I'll be fine without that love," I replied with a grin.
"Yes I suppose you will," answered Selene with a wry smile as she remembered exactly what I am.
I drove the truck behind her as she got out to open the gate, a cloaked and floating Faith beside her the entire step of the way. I watched Selene approach the gate. I sensed her excitement as she felt her new strength coursing through her body. Before she would have shot open the lock on the gate but now she snapped her leg forward in a kick that demolished the lock. She turned to smile at me in happiness at her new abilities before continuing to walk forward to the hideout of Tanis, a banished vampire historian now living in a converted monastery.
I stopped just behind Selene as she stared up at a video camera. All of a sudden she whirled around to shout, "Go back." Before she could say anything else she fell through a trap door.
As I made to get out of the vehicle to help my wife a Lycan slammed into my driver side door, denting it in and shoving the vehicle several feet. Before it got far I phased through the vehicle and became solid once more behind the Lycan. My clawed hand shot forward and ripped through the creature's chest. I pulled its heart out and dropped it to the ground even as I ran towards the trap door. Phasing through the door I landed on top of the Lycan that was just about to jump Selene, crushing its neck.
"Good timing," praised Selene just as we turned at the roaring approach of a second Lycan.
This one died as Faith brought her sword down through its neck, decapitating it.
"That was fun," we heard Faith say happily over the bond as her sword disappeared from sight back in its pocket dimensional storage sheath.
"Any more," asked Selene.
"One more," I answered as I sensed the creature in an adjoining tunnel. "Now there's no more," I added after I opened a small wormhole in front of me and tossed a fusion grenade through, the resulting explosion being heard mixed with the dying scream of the Lycan.
"Let's get the hell out of these tunnels. They remind me too much of the sewers in the Dale," suggested Faith.
Selene and I both agreed before following the tunnels to a set of stairs leading up into the monastery above. A blonde and black haired scantily clad pair of female vampires came hissing at us but with a wave of my hand they were gone as the shadows seemed to swallow them up. In reality they were pulled through a wormhole to a holding cell in my orbiting cruiser.
A shot rang out near Selene's head, something I wasn't very happy about.
"I knew it was you Selene. The stench of Victor's blood still lingers in your veins," stated Tanis while stilling aiming the gun.
"Tanis, I see your aim hasn't improved," replied Selene.
"You haven't changed," Tanis said with a laugh. "You don't scare me Selene," said Tanis.
"Well…we're going to have to work on that," Selene told Tanis with a smile as I blurred faster than even a vampire could sense.
Tanis found himself pressed against the wall with me changed into my hybrid form. His gun was in my hand which I crushed in front of his face.
"We need to talk," Selene informed Tanis as she walked up beside me with her heels clicking on the stone floor.
"Your exile seems a bit more comfortable than I remember," Selene commented as she picked up a bra a few minutes later.
"Where'd you get the Lycan body guards," I asked.
"A gift from a most persuasive client," answered Tanis.
"Lucian…because you were trading with him, UV rounds," announced Selene as she pulled a tapestry away from an alcove full of the weapons. "How long have you been in the business of killing your own kind?"
"I've done what's necessary to survive. My decision was made easy the day your precious Victor betrayed me," replied Tanis.
"Betrayal was something he did very well. Victor is dead…I killed him myself," Selene informed Tanis.
"You…kill Victor…no I think not. Oh, unless you've learned the truth. Ah…so your eyes are finally open. Isn't it interesting how the truth is even harder to absorb than light. You know I tried to stop him of course. Travesty…committing such a horrible crime, then turning you. That was too much to take. My protests are why he put me here. Careful with that dear," warned Tanis as Selene raided his weapons store. "Makes a terrible bang, open the blades and they're active," instructed Tanis.
"Good to know," replied Selene. "Victor put you here for a reason but I doubt it was because you had moral qualms. What do you know," asked Selene.
"Very little of anything I'm afraid," answered Tanis as he poured himself a goblet of wine.
"Tell us now and I'll return the blond. Don't tell us and I'll rip your head from your shoulders," I spoke up as my eyes turned black in contrast to my pleasant smile.
"I knew a lot of things Victor didn't like me knowing. You'll have to be more specific," answered Tanis hastily.
"Marcus wanted this…why," I replied as I tossed Tanis the pendant.
"Some history is based on truth and others on deception. Victor was not the first of our kind as you were led to believe. He was once human, the ruler of these lands. Marcus he's the one, the source, the first true vampire," explained Tanis.
"So the legend is true," said Selene.
"Toward the end of his ruthless life when the next breath meant more to Victor than silver or gold Marcus came with an offer, a reprieve from sickness and death, immortality. And in return Victor was to use his army turned immortal to help him."
"To do what," asked Selene as she walked up beside me from her previous position leaning against the wall.
"To defeat the very first werewolf, a dangerous and infectious breed…created by Marcus' own flesh and blood, his twin brother William. But these weren't the Lycans we know. Disgusting though your brethren may be they at least are evolved," Tanis told me before pulling a book out of a curtained alcove. "No these were raging monsters; never able to take human form again…it is only later generations that learn to channel their rage. Williams' appetite for destruction was insatiable. He had to be stopped and so once Victor's army was turned the legions of vampires under his control tracked down and destroyed the animals then captured William and locked him away, Victor's prisoner for all time," continued Tanis as he opened a book onto the nearby table.
"Why let him live," asked Selene.
"For the very same reason that Victor never conspired against Marcus, fear…he was warned that should Marcus ever be killed all of those in his bloodline would follow him to the grave," Tanis answered.
"So in Victor's mind William's death would mean the death for all Lycans, his slaves," said Selene.
"Yes, yes a clever deception…but one Victor was hardly willing to put to the test. And so Marcus was protected at all costs. Ah yes here we are," Tanis said as he opened a page for us to see. "Mortals, men loyal to Alexander Corvinus…the father of us all," Tanis said as we looked at the legions of armed men bearing a certain v shaped crest.
"What's this," asked Selene as she stopped Tanis from flipping past a certain page by sticking her gun in the book.
"You should know. It's Williams' prison. The prison your father was commissioned to build," Tanis answered, triggering more memories of her childhood for Selene.
I wrapped my arm around her shoulder for comfort.
"You now understand why your family was killed," Tanis stated.
"But that was many years later," Selene pointed out.
"The winter of Lucian's escape…your father knew too much, or too much for Victor to risk. Especially when Lucian had the key to William's cell," said Tanis as he held up the pendant/key.
"And I'm the map," Selene finished.
"Yes…the only one still living who has seen its location. Oh Victor realized you'd be too young to remember explicitly but Marcus knows that the memory and therefore the exact location of William's prison is hidden away in your blood," explained Tanis.
"One last thing…you know Alexander Corvinus, arrange a meeting for us," I ordered while my eyes glowed darkly like black holes.
"Of course," answered Tanis as he swallowed nervously.
Tanis gave us directions to find Corvinus before I made his blonde bimbo reappear out of the shadows. Selene, the hidden Faith, and I soon left to meet up with Corvinus. Taking a peek into Tanis' future I knew he didn't have long for this world.
Pier 13, Paris…
"You're trespassing," the French guard told us in his native language as he aimed his flashlight in our window. "Get out of the car slowly so I can see your hands."
"We're here to see Lorenz Macaro," Selene replied in French.
"Get out of the car, slowly. Show me your hands," responded the guards.
"So you want to see my hands do you," asked Selene as she pressed the pendant against the glass.
A few minutes later, inside the ship…
"You can go," Corvinus instructed the guards as he examined the pendant/key.
"So why are you going by Lorenz Macaro instead of Alexander Corvinus," I asked my ancestor.
"There was a time I was known by that name. By any name I am still your forefather," Alexander stated as he got up and walked around the desk before handing me back the key.
"How have you stayed hidden all these years," Selene asked.
"For centuries I've stood by and watched the havoc my sons have wrought upon each other and upon humanity. Not the legacy I prayed for the morning I watched them enter this world," Alexander responded as he paced back and forth slowly. "And a tiresome duty…keeping the war contained, cleaning up the mess, hiding my families unfortunate history."
"Couldn't you have stopped it," I asked.
"Could you kill your own sons," asked Alexander.
"Who said anything about killing? You could have imprisoned Marcus just like William. Neither of them would have been able to help the other escape that way," I answered.
"I must admit…I never thought of that," Alexander answered.
Any further conversation was cut off as we heard automatic weapons fire followed by one of Alexander's guards being dropped through the skylight. I turned just in time to intercept the wing tip that would have pierced through me if I wasn't very quick. I caught Marcus' wing and pulled him through the window. He screeched in rage and pain before trying to impale me with his other wing. I grabbed that as well before pulling hard, ripping both wings from his body.
He dropped to the floor howling in pain.
"He'll live," I stated at Alexander's alarmed look.
"He isn't concerned for me," stated Marcus as his wounds began to heal. He stood as he switched back to human form. "He was always more concerned with humanity than his own sons," Marcus stated as he glared at his father.
"You two really need some family counseling," I commented, redirecting both men's glares to me. "Now I know what you want Marcus," I stated as it appeared if my hand reached into a shadow forming in the air before me.
An identical shadow appeared in a glass case on a far wall surrounding the other half of the key I wear.
"No," shouted Alexander. "William cannot be freed…you cannot control him," Alexander told his son.
"I am stronger now father…you underestimate the link William and I share," replied Marcus as he took the two pieces of the key I handed to him.
The shadow illusion was just a cover for my opening a wormhole before me and in front of the key, a two way wormhole I can reach through.
"And the map," asked Marcus as he looked at Selene.
In reply I tossed him a vial of blood that was altered to only contain the location of William's prison instead of all of Selene's life like it normally would. Marcus doesn't need to see what I am or Selene's sex life.
"Now take it and leave," I growled as my eyes turned black and my claws extended.
Marcus gave one last hateful gaze at his father before diving out the window. His wings were already healed and grew out of his back once more.
"Do you have any idea what you have done," shouted Alexander.
"Yes…actually I do. Now sit down, shut up, and watch the show," I ordered as a comfy love seat appeared for Selene and I and a smaller cushioned seat appeared before Alexander.
He quickly sat from the power in my voice combined with the fact that I so easily dealt with his son.
"Now you have had centuries to deal with your sons and have done nothing but react so I will take care of them for you," I informed the old man.
"You may be powerful but even you are not that powerful," argued Alexander.
"That is where you are wrong," I answered as my cruiser informed me Marcus had arrived at the prison.
A holographic screen appeared before us showing Marcus' journey towards his brother's cell. A cloaked remote probe was providing the video for us.
"William," asked Marcus hopefully as he opened his brother's bonds with the key I gave him.
William was a blur as he shot out of the containment unit and tackled Marcus against the wall. Alexander watched on in horror as the very powerful attraction magic I put Marcus did its job. William vented his rage at being locked up by raping his brother and would have continued to do so for quite some time. The holographic screen changed to a view far above the prison castle. We watched as a green lance of energy shot out of the sky and completely annihilated any trace of the castle and the first Lycan and Vampire.
"Now what you have just witnessed is a small display of my power. Some people just shouldn't have children Alexander. I realize I'm saying that from the perspective of one of your descendants but those two could not be allowed to live. Now I'm not completely without heart," I said as I handed him a vial filled with a ruby red liquid. "I know you've been without a significant other for many years…being an immortal can suck some times. That substance will make whichever female you give it to immortal. Choose wisely because you only have one shot. Speaking of shots…you will be firing blanks from now on. You are sterile," I informed Alexander.
"I'm not sure whether to curse you or thank you," Alexander replied.
"Well you've got plenty of time to decide. Me…I'm taking this beauty here home and ravishing her for quite some time," I stated while smiling at the grinning Selene in my lap.
As she leaned down and kissed me with her arms around my neck we disappeared into a cloud of shadow in front of Alexander's eyes.
"He is definitely right…I should not have children," I heard Alexander muse aloud before the wormhole closed.
Coven Manor…
The fight for control of the coven was surprisingly short. The vamps could smell the power Selene now wields. It only took one stupid male challenging me and quickly disappearing in a cloud of shadows that just happened to contain a wormhole leading to the surface of the sun to cement my power. Selene, Faith, and I would keep the vamps in check in this reality.
"You," I pointed to a very attractive blonde vampire.
"Erika," supplied Selene.
"Erika…you come with us," I ordered as Erika dutifully followed behind.
Selene informed me over the bond that Erika always goes after the most powerful male to make her own. Or in Kraven's case the most ambitious male. The blonde was already salivating over me as she followed behind. Selene's arm was wrapped in my own as we entered Selene's bedroom.
Insert smut scene here
Over the next few years in that reality I with the help of my wives would turn the covens around from a life of laziness and debauchery to a life of bettering mankind and debauchery. What was the point of being immortal if you couldn't enjoy it a bit. At my strong urging every member of the coven learned at least a basic college degree's worth level of science with some going further. They had plenty of time to learn what they wanted but this way they could better humanity. I didn't really want to reveal my advanced technology to all of the realities I come across and this seemed like a good alternative. Plus some of the patents coven members received helped finance the coven although money was never an issue with me. I actually let Erika handle the coven's finances because she seems to like money.
I kept an eye on Alexander and found that he soon took a wife who he made immortal. He later contacted me with a short message.
I consider it a blessing. Thank you. Stop by to visit sometime in the next few centuries.
I made contact with the remaining Lycans and organized them into cohesive packs in remote regions of Romania. Setting up villages for them helped ensure they were not running around killing humans. I provided them with a version of the wolfsbane potion modified for their physiology. Their physiology was slightly different from the Lycans of my home reality. I was their agreed upon leader. Shortly after the orgy which heralded my entrance into the rule of the Vampires and Lycans I expanded further into another reality.
