(Start Lotus Lua Origin System)
Dreams... Lotus had been having them a lot lately. It's not well known that she sleeps every now and then. She trusts the Tenno to handle themselves responsibly so she can rest. She needed it after the New War when the voices started. The Kalymos Sequence was being worked on in Albrecht Laboratories deep bellow Deimos where the Infested could not reach. The dreams she experience were different than normal almost like something was calling to her from the ancient past but whose past, Margulis or Natah.
After the New War, after securing the Zariman the memories came. Memories of another life of another time of a world different but similar to the Origin System. In her dreams she saw another the life of a girl with deep red hair like blood and wonderous green eyes like emeralds. In those dreams she saw the world from her eyes saw as the girl grew into a woman, fought in a war, started a family, and then saw it all ripped away. The more she experienced those dreams the more they became clear for her.
Eventually when the woman died Lotus saw they changed to Margulis birth. Putting the pieces together Lotus was able to decipher the dreams were memories of a past life before Margulis was born. Lotus would have filed it away for later if the dreams had not persisted. The dreams turned into nightmares as she was forced to watch the boy that was orphaned that night abused by his aunt whom they shared blood, his uncle, and his nephew for the next 10 years. Then she saw the boy undergo 4 years of struggle to save a school, protect his friend, and from what the Lotus saw be used by a man who endeared him as a grandfatherly figure or even a mentor.
What followed was watching the boy become a hero and pariah on the drop of a hat. The same old man doing nothing to help the boy when he needed it forcing him to act instead. Lotus knew this man from the past life of Margulis who did the same when she was a little girl. The more Lotus was forced to watch the more the fury of Natah grew. The more Lotus was forced to watch the greater Margulis grief grew. It was a primitive world, and the Lotus knew if she acted, she'd exposed this world to war.
But the three sides that make up the Lotus all agreed on the basis of maternal instincts. They protected the Tenno despite not being blood, but the Lotus would not turn away a child in need, especially a child of her own blood from Margulis. They needed to act and thus she called upon the Tenno for a special mission one that she had been preparing to undertake for some time now. The Tenno she hoped would understand and she hoped they would aid her to save what was essentially their brother.
Once upon a time Margulis lived as Lily Evans. Lily was a Witch who married and became Lily Potter. Lily had a son a son who was now suffering by the hands of others. Lily's son was a wizard and they lived in a world hidden from the mundane world. Summoning her Tenno, the Lotus would undertake this mission she would save her son by any means necessary.
Voldemort and Dumbledore best beware Lily Potter was coming back, and she was not happy.
(Scene Break Earth Death Eaters)
A group of Death Eaters were out and about making the needed preparations for the coming war. They were giddy excited even as they knew their lord was back in action. With his power and leadership, they can finally put the Muggleborn and muggles back to their proper place in the world.
They were at yet another house to raid. The current minister of magic was calling Harry and Dumbledore cracked liars. They denied anything related to the Death Eaters and the dark lord. This worked perfectly as this gave them plenty of room to do whatever they want and not face the consequences of it. But when they were inside the house it was oddly quiet… too quiet.
"Alright boys lets set fire to this place and release the Dark Mark." One of the Death Eaters said a group of twelve by the looks of it.
"Wait lets look around I'm sure the nice mudblood is home with her lovely family." Another said and thus the group all began to snicker noting photos on the walls. Moving through the house the Death Eaters had now idea what was about to happen to them. Passing by a dark hall a Death Eater was suddenly dragged into a room with a yelp catching the others attention.
"What was that?" One of them asked and in turn two of them went to investigate it. When the found the room, their cohort was dragged into they were shocked to find that his decapitated corpse was inside with blood pooling on the ground.
"BLOODY HELL!?" One of the Death Eaters called out as the second stepped out of the room. But he was then cleaved in two by a zooming shadow and thus his cohort cried out in horror when he saw his ally cut in half.
Two dead bodies he quickly began to run for it fearful for his life. "We need to leave! We need to leave now!" He cried out looking for his the other nine he came here with.
"Hey what's going on!?" One of the larger Death Eaters asked when he saw one of them running.
"Howard and Vince, their dead!" He called out shocked by this. "One got decapitated and the other was bloody cleaved in half." He cried out in a panic.
"Keep it together!" The Death Eater yelled to calm his friend.
(In the backyard)
Another pair of Death Eaters were walking outside as they passed by a tree. When they heard one of the others inside screaming, they acted. "What happened?!" He asked and thus they ran. But before his cohort could respond he cried out as he was suddenly dragged into the tree surprising his friend.
"What the!?" He cried out and fired of spells into the tree. But instead, he found the mangled remains of his friend fall to the ground. The Death Eater cried out in fear as he fell into a puddle in the yard. This would be fatal as from behind a figured landed and with hands buzzing with electricity put his hands on the puddle and electrocuted the Death Eater in it before he realized what happened. His screams of agony was heard as he soon died on the spot.
(Back inside)
8 Death Eaters were left as one of them was running out to the front door. "Forget this we need to get out now!" He cried as he ran for the door. But the moment he got to the door his neck was suddenly slit by a new figure that landed behind him leaving only gurgled cried. Two more Death Eaters saw this and fired spells at the figure who moved and returned to the shadows.
"Did you see that thing!?" One of the Death Eaters asked when he saw this.
Just then a third joined in as their numbers were now down to seven. "There's something here, its picking us off one by one!" The Death Eater said as he had his wand drawn. They were sweating as they needed to regroup.
"We need to regroup they can't hit us all at once." Another said and thus they began to gather around in the main living room. But as one of the Death Eaters passed by the door he soon cried out as a bladed on a rope stabbed through his leg before pulling. The Death Eater fell as he cried in terror while being dragged outside. His hand reached for the door frame, but it proved useless as he was dragged outside and down the short steps.
He dug his nails into the ground but all that did was bloody them up as he kept being dragged away. He pointed his wand and fired it off at the source desperately trying to kill whatever it was. Soon his screams were silenced before something was thrown back into the door. The Death Eaters were terrified when they saw the decapitated head of their cohort was thrown at them.
6 Death Eaters were left, and it was clear that their attacker was showing no mercy to them. They moved towards one of the walls and when they did a pair of arms shot out and grabbed a Death Eater who screamed in terror. He was then dragged through, and the Death Eaters gave chase. What they found was only broken glass from the window.
Stepping into the front yard from the front door the Death Eaters were gasping in horror when they saw their lost friend was impaled to the wall by a blade of energy. 5 Death Eaters remained in this darkened neighborhood and house as they all had ands at the ready.
"S-spread out." The leader stuttered as they began looking for whoever was responsible for this. Soon a Death Eater was pushed to the ground by an unknown force as then he was dragged across the ground. He screamed and screeched in terror as he dug his hands into the ground. The Death Eaters fired their wands at the source but only found nothing there before another cried out with, he was cleaved in two from behind.
3 Death Eaters were left as the leader saw that his allies were being picked off one by one like animals. Three would soon turn into one when the last two suddenly found themselves crushed before their leaders very eyes by an invisible force of power.
"I'm not scared of you!" The Leader yelled as he began firing of spells at every sound he could hear. "SHOW YOURSELF!" The Death Eater screamed as he tried to find the source. "WHERE ARE YOU!" He yelled as clearly fear and terror had gripped his heart only to hear something behind him.
"Here." A voice said and soon he found a blade sticking out of his chest. The Blade was then twisted before it cleaved through its victim. The perpetrator was a black scarf wearing being who glared down at the dead Death Eater. He was soon joined by three others, one of them had a horn in the center of his head and was male with black armor. The next was a female with a dome head that had golden accents. The last one was also female who had a large fin on her head.
They stood there surrounded by the dead Death Eaters before pulling out from a hidden area, a sign that said, for sale. They then stabbed the sign into the ground before they head popping sound. The four acted fast and vanished into the shadows all before the Aurors showed up. Needless to say, the scene they came across was the latest in a long line of brutal deaths.
(Later after the Aurors Arrive)
When the Aurors arrived on the scene needless to say they were shocked at what they found. More Marked Death Eaters found dead. They had been brutalized, mutilated, and judging by the slickness of their bodies terrified. Whoever or whatever did this showed them no mercy.
This was controlled brutality the perpetrators played with their food wanting to give them that sense of Terror. It was almost ironic that the Death Eates got to experience the same terror inflicted to their Victims before being killed. Still the law had to be upheld but with no leads and no evidence to gather the killer or killers had escaped the Aurors again.
More disappearances had occurred, more homes destroyed leaving the dark mark behind, and all the while the Minister tries to keep it all quiet. Something was going on because every time after these incidents more Death Eaters turn up dead. Whomever had been doing this was still out there and the Aurors had to strop them as the law states.
Still, many in their department felt they should let these assassins be. If they want to kill Death Eaters, then who were they to stop them. So with a tired sigh the Aurors got back to work gathering evidence, erasing memories, and finally cleaning up this mess before the Muggles became aware of the situation.
(Scene Break Little Whinging Earth)
Harry sighs as he looks up at the ceiling from his position on his bed. It's been yet again another typical miserable day here at Number 4 Privet Drive. This has been a particularly difficult summer for him even without the annual torture of time spent at his aunt and uncle's, and the time with the Dursley's has made it worse.
The aftermath of the Triwizard Tournament, the death of Cedric Diggory, and the return of Lord Voldemort had had a profound impact on Harry. The traumatic experiences had given him nightmares almost every night and had left him feeling some fear of Voldemort coming for him. This was made worse by the fact he hadn't heard from his friends all semester and had only received the very occasional note from Sirius.
Over time, the fear of Voldemort and the trauma from his experienced during the previous school year had eased up. However, now just the anticipation and not knowing about what's happening in the Wizarding world is what's really been bothering him.
Harry shakes his head a bit to try and shake those thoughts out of his head. He's feeling a bit of hunger pains and thinks it may be worth it to try and head downstairs for a bite to eat. His aunt and uncle are probably watching TV in the sitting room, and from the sounds he heard earlier, Dudley is in his bedroom. Maybe he can sneak some snacks from the kitchen without his aunt and uncle realizing he did.
Harry slowly gets up off the bed and heads for the door. Hedwig chirps a little bit at him, but Harry just gives her a quick glance and smile before refocusing his attention on his quest for food. But all of a sudden, his quest was stopped by movement behind him. Turning around Harry saw to his shock his window was opened. Sighing a bit Harry walked over to close said window. Once the window was closed her turned to the door again only to find someone there. Harry yelped but was muffled by a hand over his mouth. The Visitor was in black with gold accessories attached as he moved a single finger to his lips telling Harry to keep quiet.
The figure had a lot of black on and even a black scarf by didn't look like any Death Eater he had seen before. Soon enough the figured took out a flashlight and began to flicker it on and off at the window signaling someone. Harry was wide eyed but then the figure spoke in a hushed tone.
"Don't worry you're safe now." He said in a voice that showed he was likely younger than his figure showed.
"Safe, what?" Harry asked and suddenly a large crash was heard downstairs.
"Stay here." The figure said and thus he got moving out of Harry's room.
(Meanwhile downstairs with the Dursley's)
The Dursley's were having a nice evening with the Telly watching their favorite show. It was an ideal moment if not for the freak staying upstairs. Just a few more weeks and they can get rid of the boy once more or at least they hoped to do so. But soon enough their entire happy scene came crashing down when all of a sudden, their back door was broken down. Vernon and Petunia jumped in fright before it turned to fear. Charging inside was two... no three figures with guns drawn.
"Move! Move! Move!" One of them called out as the Dursley's tried to escape from the front door.
Running to the front door they were shocked to find from the stairs a fourth figure in strange armor was there with his own rifle pointed at them. "Secure these... people." He ordered as soon the Dursley's found themselves pushed back to the living room where Vernon hid his family behind his fat body.
"You and your family better sit-down fat ass." The other male said as he pointed a rifle at Vernon.
"Secure the prisoners I'll make sure the guest of honor is ready." The one in black said and thus he made the call. "Lotus area is secured your free to enter." The one with the scarf said and thus Vernon felt fear as did Lily.
(Meanwhile back upstairs with Harry)
Harry was in the process of grabbing his things to fight his way out. He heard crashing, yelling, and what he hoped was not gunshots. As he got ready to move the door suddenly opened and in turn Harry was ready to act. Instead, he saw a stick with a flag in white on it. "Sorry to disturb you but we're ready for you." He said showing he meant no harm.
"Who are you?" Harry demanded and thus the figure opened the door but kept his hands up.
"A friend I hope." He said and thus he offered a hand to Harry. "Your needed downstairs." The figure said as Harry was nervous about going with this strange being.
"Why should I trust you?" Harry asked and thus he saw the offered hand.
"Because someone important to your life asked us to do this." He responded and thus he got down to it. "Let's start with introductions, my name is Heron, and you are Harry Potter, right?" Heron asked as Harry nodded to him.
"Yes..." Harry said and thus he looked to Heron.
"Good, then you should know that right now we've apprehended your... relatives they won't be harmed at least for now." Heron said as he sounded like he wanted to harm them like he was angry at them.
Harry knew he shouldn't do this, but he felt like he should. It was strange a feeling from deep within one of warmth. Against his better judgement Harry followed Heron if for no other reason than to get this over with.
(Later downstairs)
Heron and Harry arrived and found the Dursley Family were surrounded by three other armored figures with guns pointed at them. "Mr. Potter." One of them said as she approached Harry. "Are you ok? No bruising or anything?" She asked inspecting Harry making sure he was ok.
"I'm fine but what is this who are you?" Harry asked but then a new voice spoke from the group.
"All will be explained soon just wait it out." He said and soon enough movement was heard from the front door. "She's here." He said and thus Harry was wide eyed at who he saw as was Petunia.
"No... it can't be." Petunia gasped when she saw the arrival.
Entering the room was a woman in a black coat and a lot of black clothing. Her hands were in her pocket and shades covered her eyes. Despite this her hair was a vibrant red color while her face was stone cold. Removing the shades Harry was shocked when he saw the face he had only seen in pictures. Her vibrant green eyes were just like his as the woman glared down at Petunia Dursley nee Evans.
"It's been a while... Tunie." The woman, Lily Potter nee Evans said to her sister. Her glare was one filled with pure rage against Petunia and her family.
"You can't be here he said... he said you were dead!" Petunia gasped as she looked in shock to her sister.
"I was but I got better." Lily said refusing to give Petunia any clues Dumbledore could use against her. "But my condition isn't what you should be worried about its yours." Lily said as she glared down at Petunia. "Especially since you and your lot have been abusing my son." Lily said ready to give the order.
"We were forced to take him in!" Petunia snapped as she glared at Lily. "We never wanted to raise your freak of a son!" Petunia added just before she suddenly was hit by one of the two female Tenno for that.
"Watch your mouth bitch." The one with the shotgun said as she was ready to splatter the woman across the ground.
"Just give us the word Lotus and we'll riddle these abusive bastards with so many bullets they'll be pissing lead." The one with the horn said pointing his gun closer to his target.
"Falcon, Owl stand down both of you." Lily said as she did not need them to come out injured. "As for you Petunia your families fate is literally in my hands right now." Lily said but then stopped. "No... their more in Harry's hands." She said gesturing to Harry who stood there shocked.
"W-what?" Harry asked and thus Lily turned to Harry.
"What do you want done to them, Harry?" Lily asked as she made to offer. "Do you want us to gun them down or do you wish to spare them?" Lily asked as she gave Harry the offer. "You were the one they abused you should decide." Lily said and thus Harry looked at the now terrified Dursley's knowing Harry now held their fate in his hands.
Harry saw the fear saw the terror and was tempted to let these people and the woman saying she was his mother gun them down. HE was actually about to give the word... but then he'd be no better than them. After years of abuse, he held their lives in his hands and that thought terrified them. Clenching his fist Harry was tempted but he rejected the temptation he was not Voldemort after all.
"Let them go." Harry said and thus Lily sighed.
"It seems you've gotten lucky this time, dear sister." Lily said as she glared down at Petunia and her brood. "I won't ever see you again Tunie, you're as dead to me as I was to you." Lily said making it clear that she had no sister. "I can never forgive you for hurting Harry." She went on before turning away. "If the positions were reversed, I would have taken in and loved your son as if he'd been my own. It disgusts me that my own flesh and blood can't say the same." Lily went on as Petunia was forced to sit there and listen to it all. "Now this is the part where I tell you to leave the country and NEVER come back." Lily said before directing her attention to Petunia.
"If you don't, you'll be caught in the crossfire of a war and neither myself or my Tenno will lift a finger to help you." Lily said glaring at Petunia. But then Vernon spoke up glaring at the woman.
"Now you listen here your freakish woman I will not be bossed around by." Vernon began with his face turning red, but Lily then retaliated.
Her form suddenly changed as she transformed into Natah and roared at the now terrified Vernon. "YOU WILL LEAVE THIS PLACE OR SO HELP ME I WILL IGNORE MY SONS DESIRE TO SPARE YOU TO RIP YOU APART LIMB BY LIMB AND DRAIN YOU DRY OF WHATEVER LIFE ESSENCE YOU POSSESS BEFORE LEAVING YOU TO BLEED OUT!" Natah snapped as Vernon was terrified at the monster that stood before him.
Natah then stepped back and then took a moment to calm her breathing. She then reverted to being Lily before directing her attention over to Harry. "Harry get your things we're leaving this place is no longer secure." Lily said to her son knowing she had fourteen years to make up.
"How can you be my mother!?" Harry suddenly demanded as he looked to his mother.
"It's a long story Harry one I promise I will explain but not right now." Lily said glaring outside. "We're on a short timetable and it won't be long before the Order of the Phoenix begin a shift change and find the previous guard unconscious." Lily said with an urgent tone which surprised Harry.
"Guard what?" Harry asked but had another question. "And what is the Order of the Phoenix?" Harry asked and thus Heron spoke up.
"A manipulative goat's little cult now we need to go." Heron said and thus Harry was being pushed back upstairs to gather his belongings.
(Later Outside)
The Tenno and Lily were heading out with Harry pulling his trunk and Hedwig as the Tenno surrounded them as a protective guard detail. Just then they stopped when they were met by opposition in the forms of familiar faces to Lily. Lily had detected them and before they arrived Harry was shocked when he saw his mother shift form again to that of a masked woman. "Stay close." The Lotus said and thus the Tenno had guns drawn.
"Harry!" Moody began but was cut off when he and his team had to dodge and avoid gunfire from the Tenno.
"Shit!" Tonks cursed as the Pinkett ran for cover as the Tenno fired at them.
"This is not what I was hoping for." Falcon said as she hid with Raven, Owl, and Heron.
"Who cares this is going to be fun." Raven said ready to start fighting.
But then Heron stopped her before she charged in. "Remember we need to hold back, Owl used your Volt Prime to put up a shield, Raven you me and Falcon will flank them disarmament only." Heron said and thus the group got moving.
"Got it!" Owl said and thus he used his Warframe, Volt Prime, to put a shield up. Once that was done the Tenno ran through it and began to flank around the Order Members. Their magic could not deflect the oncoming bullets forcing them to duck and cover. The dark-skinned man cried out in pain when a bullet pierced his arm while the Tenno kept the shots to nonlethal areas.
"Harry cover your ears and close your eyes!" Lotus ordered as she saw what Heron was about to do. The next thing the Order Members knew a howl resonated around them that blinded them to a ringing white light. Harry was lucky that he followed Lotus instructions because when he opened his eyes, he saw that even Alastor was blinded to his surprise.
"That won't keep them down for long, let's move!" Raven called and thus Lotus acted.
"Hurry and gather!" Lotus ordered and thus the Tenno and Lotus regrouped. "We need to use this now!" She said taking out what looked to be a large gold ring. The Tenno each grabbed a space on it before Lotus looked towards Harry. "Harry please." Lotus said as her voice showed urgency in it.
"No stop!" Tonks cried out as she regained her senses.
"Harry please I will explain everything, but we need to go now!" Lotus added and thus Harry looked between the Lotus and the Order.
"Don't let them get away!" Alastor added as he was up and about next. Before Harry knew it, he grabbed the ring and the next thing they knew he and his belongings were gone via a Portkey. A stunner was shot out but alas it only hit nothing. The next thing Harry knew everything went dark with pain and the uncomfortable feeling from teleportation magic.
(Scene Break Warehouse District London)
In a place that once served as a concern hall movement was seen as organic and grotesque sounds were heard. As the movement went on it showed signs and banners for a group called, On-Lyne. Inside the area something began to rise and from its design it was clear it did not belong in this world. It sensed a familiar power a familiar foe and knew that it had to act soon less this old foe finds it.
It must consume, it must assimilate, and most of all it must evolve. These fleshy creatures were so easy to trick with a group of pretty faces and music. Concert halls filled with victims to spread their, gift, to all. They needed to grow, consume, assimilate, and expand. Soon this world will know the gift they have to offer.
