The Black Lion - The death stick (Patreon)

Harrison Evans, Bellow Hogwarts

“What happened?” Charlus asked, seeing how Harrison regrouped with them, while James Potter's unconscious body levitated behind

"He got hit pretty hard in the fall, he lost consciousness from a blow in the process" Harrison said with an impassive look, still with mixed feelings about what had happened

The resurrection stone did not lie, the golden aura of the soul was sufficient indicator

The James Potter of this bizarre world had died, his soul had transcended and been replaced by the soul of his father, the real one

The one who died for his wife and son, all those years ago

To Harrison's surprise, Charlus Potter did not look at his son's body with concern for his well-being, his gaze only reflecting contempt for the apparent weakness

The black lion frowned, but said nothing more, he had enough in his mind to think about the Potters' family problems

Looking at Ilyana, Harrison asked

"Can you use your power to return him to the Tower?"

The blonde nodded softly and without saying a word, took James Potter's body and disappeared for an instant

Moment that Charlus took advantage of to speak

"I'll punish your father when he wakes up, He was weak, unworthy of the Potter name, something that will not happened again" said the old man, generating even more revulsion within Harrison

"He's your son," said the black lion, with some disbelief in his voice

"A weak one it seems" snapped Charlus, who snorted and turned around

An instant later, Ilyana returned, appearing in front of Harrison

“He's in the tower”

Harrison nodded, looking around, he had never seen this network of caves, but it was simply huge and without the barrier, he could feel the constant struggle

"It's worse than I imagined," said the sorcerer supreme walking towards Harrison, as did Loki, who, unlike the sorcerer supreme, looked totally calm

"Oh relax Stephen, I've seen this before, it's some demon with delusions of grandeur and some human stupid enough to fall for his lies" said the princess of Asgard while looking at her nails, it was evident that jotun maiden was having fun on this expedition

Harrison shook his head, his princess was so vain and materialistic that she took Odin's "punishment" as an excellent vacation

In her own words, the clothes, food, and sex were better than anything back in Asgard

Opinion shared by his warrior maiden Sif

"Enough," Selene interjected, looking at everyone seriously

Ilyana nodded and continued

"The witch is right, we are close to the monolith, the nexus that Belasco uses to influence the planet, is huge, it is well protected and it is the key to defeat him,” said the blonde

"How shall we proceed?" asked the sorcerer supreme with a frown and caressing his chin

Charlus, who had remained on the sidelines until now, spoke

"With a distraction," said the old man, looking directly at his grandson

"You are the most powerful of those of us here, therefore the greatest threat, if you can keep this Belasco's attention on you, the rest of us can finish off this monolith," said the old man

It was a solid plan, if oversimplified

"It won't be that simple, even with Harrison keeping Belasco busy, there are endless hordes of his pets waiting, we need the Guardian's help and a miracle," Ilyana said firmly

Loki just rolled his eyes and responded arrogantly

"By Odin’s bears dear, it is evident that you are overestimating this Demon Lord, the cataclysm happened two hundred years ago and in all that time, this Guardian has kept him here, in this remote castle, which highlights a couple of things, that this Belasco is not as powerful as he wants us to believe and that he is not infallible," Loki said,  causing the whole expedition to nod with determination

"We will deal with this being, and Loki dear, you will be the most important link, I trust you," Harrison said firmly

The Asgardian princess was completely surprised, thousands of emotions passed through her face, until she ended up nodding softly, there was gratitude and determination in her countenance

"This is what we will do," said the black lion with a smile that promised pain and suffering to the cause of this disaster

This Belasco did not know what awaited him

Susan Storm, Titan Station, Bellow the Atlantic Ocean

"Everything seems in order," said Gwen, who was at her workstation, analyzing for the tenth time, the calculations for the expedition to Mars

“We can't take risks dear, HERBIE, do you have the safety protocols updated?” Sue asked, while reviewing the design of the new expedition ship

The Stingray had been taken out of service and, at the request of the world governments, had been put on display, the first hyper-light vassal of humanity, at this time, was touring the best universities in the world, being an inspiration for the brilliant minds of the future

Sure, except for the ambitious hands of rival companies, after all, all the important technology had been dismantled from the ship by Harrison himself

Instead, the Pathfinder would be the expedition ship that would take Sue and the team to Mars, bigger, faster, and more powerful

Those ruins would be a lot of fun to explore; Susan was eager to begin studying the secrets of that mysterious place

Wings, the Pioneer would be ready in a couple of months, as would the new suits that Reed and Johnny were building

“This place is amazing, whenever I think that there is nothing Harry can do to surprise me, he always has a card up his sleeve, a space station!” Gwen said loudly

And Susan couldn't help but agree with her, Harrison was a genius like they'd never seen before

And he was hers, Susan thought with a huge smile, knowing full well what her presence in this place meant

The Titan project, or “Olympus Mons" Station as Emma had renamed it, was an impenetrable fortress, with the Black Lion's most secret and ambitious projects and its inner circle

That Susan was here unsupervised was a sign of confidence from her beloved lion, cementing her place in the pride, as one of his powerful lionesses, Susan thought excitedly

By God, she missed Harrison a lot, as soon as he returned from his mission, she would force him to take a weekend off

With her riding his big cock of course

Nothing like an of seventy-two hours straight to relax the group, Sue thought with amusement and perversion, lost in her depraved fantasy, which was interrupted by HERBIE

"Dr. Storm, you have to see this, tectonic fluctuations in the earth's crust, unknown origin, coming from the middle of the ocean, a group of unidentified objects are approaching at full speed towards the peripheries of the station's shield," said HERBIE, projecting the readings in question on the screens of the laboratory

Susan and Gwen frowned, the objects were small, at least on a global scale, but they moved in a particular pattern

"Those objects are... sailing between currents?"  Gwen asked with shared concern for Sue

After all, that had pretty serious implications

Intelligence

Susan stood up and quickly took control of the situation

"HERBIE, High alert, Close the station, Bastion defense protocol," Susan shouted

In an instant, the station's lights and alarms changed from white to red, while HERBIE's mechanical voice began to speak

"Bastion Protocol initiated, kinetic shields at maximum power, plasma turrets and mass accelerators ready and ready, deploying sentry drones, estimated time for visual contact, four minutes, North wing," said the robot

"Enough, time to prepare," Sue said determinedly, as she looked at Gwen and ordered

"Come on, we need to know what we're up against," Sue ordered and without waiting for an answer, she began to walk towards the portal, one of a complete network that Harry had built to move around the station

"Wait, shouldn't we inform someone? We're alone down here," Gwen said, at the same time that Susan came to the portal and said

“North Observation Deck” activating the portal instantly

Turning her head, Dr. Storm replied

"HERBIE will be in charge of informing the rest of the lionesses, but we must gather information about what awaits us," Susan said, at the same time as she entered the portal followed by Gwen

"Message sent Dr. Storm, waiting for Dobby's response on the surface," the A.I. replied at the same time that Sue and Gwen arrived at the observation deck

It was simply beautiful, a self-sustaining botanical garden, genetically and magically modified for accelerated oxygen production, this was one of the four lungs of the station, a redundant system to guarantee oxygen in the hostile environment of space

"This place gives me chills," Gwen confessed, when she reached the huge observation deck, where the only thing that could be done was the lights of the station and total darkness

Something logical, considering that they were at the bottom of the ocean

“Eye contact in twenty seconds, response protocol?” asked HERBIE

Sue responded quickly

"Neutrality, if they attack, we respond, but we will not be the aggressors," Sue ordered, at the same time that she began to see movement on the periphery of the station with difficulty

"It is possible to create an estimated image of what is coming with the technology of the station," said HERBIE trying to help 

"Do it," Sue ordered, as she used her Omni tool to project the images onto the observation deck

The result left them speechless

"Are those whales?" Gwen asked with total surprise, according to the reconstruction of the sensors, a group of whales was approaching, however, there were strange things in them

"Look carefully, the projection shows a kind of armor around their bodies and those metal cylinders on each side can't be anything other than weapons, it's not an ordinary pack, it's an assault force," Sue said with determination, much to Gwen's disbelief

"But who would use armored whales to attack us?"

Sue didn't answer, she just stared into the darkness of the ocean and said

"That's what we're going to find out," at the same time that HERBIE reported

“Visual Contact”

And from the shadows, strange objects began to appear

In effect, they were whales, huge and therefore unable to move at the speed at which they did, if not for the incredibly advanced armor that covered their bodies

"Damn," Gwen said, seeing how from the whales, strange humanoid beings began to emerge, while taking defensive positions, looking at the station with suspicion, but without attacking, something that Sue could notice was that they all had skin of a dark blue color

At least for the moment

They were all dressed in a kind of metal armor that simulated fish scales, while pointing weapons of all kinds at the station

From what looked like energy rifles to plasma spears

And then, from the depths... A woman emerged, evidently the leader, dressed in armor similar to that of the soldiers in design, but the superior quality was more than evident, her forehead was adorned with a metal crown that simulated tentacles

Slender and strong, with skin of a pale blue hue, different from that of the rest of the warriors and blonde long hair, she carried a spear, which shone with power

Magic or technology? Susan didn't know it

And then, the strange but imposing woman spoke, her voice traveling through the dense waters with alarming ease, betraying some kind of power or mutation

"Listen and rejoice Humans, I, Aquaria Neptunia, Princess of Atlantis, stand before you on behalf of my cousin, the king of Atlantis, King Namor" said the woman, her voice was feminine and strong, exuding elegance and power

Susan and Gwen looked at each other, not knowing what to say

Both wished Harrison was here, however, they were alone until the Black Lion returned from his expedition

“What do we do Sue?” Gwen asked, totally lost

And Susan didn't have the answer, she would have to improvise, it seemed

Harrison Evans, The Monolith, Bellow Hogwarts

The waves of trolls grew larger and more dangerous as they descended, but honestly they were no match for Harry, even before he was wielder of the Odin Force

Now? This was a simple warm-up, nothing more than that  

According to Ilyana's words, crossing the door of the twin sentinels would be the monolith

And speaking of sentinels...

Apparently, Ilyana did not do them justice, these things were huge

At least fifteen meters tall and with terrifying swords and attack magic of their own, the towering colossi fought off waves of trolls, goblins and a myriad of corrupted magical creatures, Harry was able to recognize, to his pain, some hippogriffs and a pair of dragons, trying, unsuccessfully, to get around the relentless colossi

It would be impossible to enter without being seen, so Harry would have to lose the element of surprise and liquidate as many of Belasco's servants as possible

Inhaling forcefully, the black Lion concentrated his power, green flames manifested in his hands, at the same time that his eyes began to shine like two emerald suns

The Black Lion opened his hands and, with a scream, released his power

Monstrous torrents of magic emerged from his hands straight onto the cave floor, where they quickly began to advance in terrifying flashes of lightning toward where the vast horde stood

The enemies, realizing the danger, tried to evade Harrison's attack, without success, the lightning flashes looked like hungry hounds in hunting season, killing goblins, trolls and magical beasts alike

The sentinels, taking advantage of the distraction, took it upon themselves to exterminate as many as possible, until after several minutes, the horde was burned and defeated, leaving only Harrison and the pair of huge statues, who looked at him without aggressiveness, but with the clear intention of denying passage to the monolith chamber

"The next chamber is too dangerous, young wizard," said a male voice, old and tired, but with good intentions

Harry let his guard down for a moment, though he remained alert and asked

"I guess you're the guardian, right?"

Both statues nodded slowly

"If you know of my existence then you must know Ilyana, take care of her, she has suffered a lot, more than you can imagine" said the voice again, while the sentries took up a defensive position

Harrison just looked at the towering beings and spoke

"I have to go in, the magic is dying, whatever happens in there... it's dangerous and must be stopped," Harrison said, making it clear that it wasn't a question

“The next chamber guards the link between Limbo and our world, my decadent existence is the only thing that keeps the portal closed, if I open this door... you will be able to enter, but there is a possibility that Belasco may leave," said the Guardian

Harrison nodded and replied

"I understand, however, I will not allow magic to die, it would be an insult to the poor souls who have suffered for centuries in these damned caves," Harrison said with determination

Both sentries looked at him curiously, but in total silence, until something incredible happened... A light emerged from the faces of both guardians, forming a majestic and familiar silhouette

A phoenix made entirely of light flew through the cave, until it stopped in front of Harrison, shaking its head from side to side, evidently judging him

"You are strong, young wizard, I feel the blessing of the Great Mother inside you, umm interesting, very interesting" said the guardian

Harrison frowned at the choice of words, but didn't respond, just staring at the phoenix silently

"I'm tired, it's over…For so long, this disaster, the product of an ambitious pupil at the school, has cost the world dearly, I have forgotten my own life, my own being," said the keeper, calling Harrison's attention

"Then you were a wizard too?"  asked the young lion curiously, causing the bird to turn its head to one side

"Wizard, witch, after centuries the distinction is irrelevant, the vast majority of us are energy trapped in crude sacks of matter."

Then, the phoenix began to flap its wings forcefully, at the same time, in front of Harrison, a familiar object made itself present

A family wand... one he had left on his home world

"I don't know why, but I'm not surprised," he murmured, seeing how the invincible wand appeared in front of him

The death stick, the match for the stone

Two out of three it seems

Harrison took it, an act that made the ring resonate with the wand, enveloping it in an aura of orange magical light, the same magic that brought his real father into this world

The phoenix, for its part, simply laughed softly and, in a tired voice, said a few last words

"The legacy of the guardians is yours, young wizard, I free myself from my burden and my soul can transcend, open the gates and defeat Belasco, or the whole wizarding world will be lost"

And with those last words, the phoenix simply began to fade away, transcending to the next adventure, two hundred years later

At the end, Death reach us all, without distinction

Harrison observed the place and grants a minute's silence for the Guardian's tireless work, while the colossal statues knelt before Harrison and, in mechanical, empty voices, spoke

“New User Detected, Reboot Required, Magical defense Forces Disabled”

And without any other explanation, the huge beings, as well as the rest of the army fighting in these caves, simply shut down, totally inert

Leaving the way clear for Belasco's forces to attack and overwhelm the rest of the group

Harrison inhaled hard and channeled his magic through the invincible wand

The time had come

With a firm step, Harrison opened the doors to the central chamber, breaking the old guardian's spell and allowing his companions to enter the base of the monolith

As well as...

“HAHAHAHAHAHA AT LAST!! THAT PESKY HUMAN TRASH HAS PERISHED!!”

The voice was gloomy, full of hatred and malice, infernal flames emerged from the enormous monolith, forming a kind of body of flames, with the traditional shape of a demon

"So, you are his replacement, I felt your arrival young wizard, extremely powerful, you will be a great avatar of my power in the conquest of this dimension" said the demon, who watched Harrison as if he were some kind of stallion

The Black Lion did not respond, he simply took the invincible wand and placed himself in an attacking position

"Let's dance, bitch" casting the first spell

The Battle of Hogwarts had begun...

And the fate of the entire planet was at stake
