Reality's Bane (IC/Open)

[Naval Monte]

Hogwarts

"The Prince?!/The Prince?!" Both Harry and Elizabeth said, both of them surprise to realize that the could have been king of Britain was instead the most infamous serial killer in all of British and world history. When the dark sorceress saw the Doctor walk next her and ask if the mage really thought her flirtation would work. "Considering I manage to seduce a few supernatural beings before who for some reason found the human body appealing I figure it might work with Death. Besides I choose the one idea that I know Death and all of you would have preferred over the one that would involve me using my wand."

Harry thought on what sort of spell Elizabeth was planning to use on Death that would require for her to use a wand from his world, it didn't take long for him to find the answer. "It's the Imperius Curse isn't it? You were planning on using the same curse that Voldemort used on Death!?" the young wizard was angry at the older witch for even thinking of such a thing. "Well how else are we going to get him to talk? Get him wasted so much that he will spill the beans on his bosses and sibling?" War at this point told Elizabeth about the demon merchant that visited the school.

Elizabeth held her chin as she was remembering what War called the demon. "Vulgrim right? That was the name you called the demon by. Can you tell me if there is anything specific that I need for a summoning ritual to bring that demon over? Actually knowing what sigil I need for him would also be useful.' she stated taking out the twin daggers, inspecting them as she focus her aura on them to see how they would react to it, so far they weren't reacting to the aura since she was only using a small amount for the blades to register.

"I think along with knowing how to work with our new wands we should follow Clover's example and try to make new spells." Elizabeth turn her sight towards Harry. "This suggestion also goes to you Harry, even if you have to make a variant of an old spell I want to see you make something new. That way we can surprise both Abaddon and Voldy."

With Steve and Claudia the two of them found a few aurors now wondering the halls with students walking past them and watching both them and the aurors. The aurors were given orders to search the school for any strange object that would be the cause for Abaddon to appear in the world so the ministry can destroy it. "What are two muggles doing in the school?" said one auror, finally noticing Steve and Claudia's presence. Said Auror was followed by others who began to surround the two warehouse agents.

"I have no idea how you two manage to get into the school but we will figure it out after you answer us some questions. Please follow us." the lead auror said. He and the others wanted to know how the two of them manage to get into Hogwarts and once they got their answers would erase their memories of ever being in the Castle.

"Ehhh, he kinda shows up at will, but I guess I can give you his contact symbol." War said. "All you need to do is find something circular that is also big enough where a mortal can fit, and draw some gold coins."

Death then said to Elizabeth,"Fine, be prepared to pay twenty hagrid's weights because that's about what he charges me for information."

Death then said to Elizabeth,"Fine, be prepared to pay twenty hagrid's weights because that's about what he charges me for information."

"I believe I have enough money to cover that cost," Clover chuckled. "You wouldn't believe the crazy things I find lying on the street."

"I believe I have enough money to cover that cost," Clover chuckled. "You wouldn't believe the crazy things I find lying on the street."

"But he might charge more for the information she wants due to the nature of it, and he can always flat out refuse considering you go not want to go against the council no matter how much luck you have. Hell they can retire us horsemen and still have enough power to keep the three kingdoms in line." Death said.

"Thanks for paying the cost Clove, you're a lifesaver." Elizabeth gave the leprechaun a charming smile after complimenting him. After War explain what to do to summon Vulgrim and the fact he can show up whenever he wants Elizabeth got off the bed and put the daggers away in her coat. "Well once Hogwart's gets those new wards added in your merchant friend is going to have a hard time getting into the castle, half of those wards were made to repel demons."

She gesture for the group to follow her out of the Infirmary, once the group left the infirmary nothing much happen as they walk through the halls due to students still being present. As soon as the last student went to their class Elizabeth spoke. "I think I'm going to add in my own touch to the summoning ritual, mainly cause I want to set up as much protection symbols between me and Vulgrim as possible and if need be even bind him if he becomes too problematic."

War than mention that Vulgrim may either raise the price or outright refuse considering the nature of the information that they want. "Again I will bind him so he is forced to tell us what we want and he can keep his precious gold after I let him go." the mage responded coolly, lighting another cigarette.

Harry wanted to say something about the last part of Elizabeth's idea but found that she was right on worrying about Vulgrim, hell even Harry was uneasy at seeing the demon merchant when he first saw him. "When it's your turn to teach are you going to teach us how to ward off demons?" Harry ask. "Protection is only the first step Harry. I'm also going to teach how to summon, bind and banish demons and other beings. If I have enough time I may even teach you lot how to make boundaries for them not to enter and how to trap and seal them. But I hope I don't have to teach you kids how to perform an exorcism, that one would be difficult and messing." Harry agreed with the woman, plus Harry was being reminded of a certain movie he and his cousin once saw together that gave Harry nightmares for weeks.

"Oh Harry, just encase I can't teach Clover will be taking over. How do you feel about learning about the nature of time travel and it's dangers? Before you ask, yes, magic in your world does allow for time travel." Harry was surprised to hear that magic in his world can allow for something like time travel, Harry was now wondering on what he would do with such a power under his control. "I think that would be an interesting class. Are you guys planning on going back in time to kill Abaddon when he was at his weakest?" Elizabeth ponder at Harry's question. She looked behind her at the heroes. "So what do you think guys? Want to temporarily kill Abaddon before he can bring back Voldemort and summon Lucifer into the world?"

[Slenderman The CreepyPasta King]

"When he was at his weakest he was the leader of the hellguard, unless your talking about him as a baby in which case you'll have to face an army of angles. Trust me his family was huge and powerful before the false apocalypse." Death said.

Vermilion City, Kanto Region

The S.S. Anne chugged backed into the port, steam bellowing from the smokestacks. The air was filled with the chirps and screeches of many avian pokémon, but not a single cloud. With a final sigh, the ship was docked in Vermilion City, the most bustling port in the Kanto Region. The eager passengers quickly flooded out and into the waiting streets, all except one. He walked calmly yet briskly, making slow, long strided down the dock. A sudden drift made the ends of his trench coat flutter. The day was oddly idyllic for what may be brewing under all of the excitement, as this man was no other than Looker, globe trotting elite of the International Police!

Hearing time travel being mentioned, the Doctor spoke up. "No! You cant do that. If you killed him in the past, you would have no reason for deciding to kill him in the future. It would create a paradox that would rip time and space apart! believe me, I've seen it happen." The Doctor said, his eyes serious. "Now all of you, get your ideas of misusing time travel out of your heads! Well go on now!" he insisted.

"Ah yes, I forgot about the whole 'grandfather paradox' that you mortal's have." Death admitted.

"Ah yes, I forgot about the whole 'grandfather paradox' that you mortal's have." Death admitted.

"Yes, Type A time travel is always a bad idea. If we are going to fight Abbadon, we must do it the present." Clover took out a piece of paper and a quill. "So, can I get an explanation of our plan for the record?"

[Naval Monte]

"When he was at his weakest he was the leader of the hellguard, unless you're talking about him as a baby in which case you'll have to face an army of angels. Trust me his family was huge and powerful before the false apocalypse." Death said.

"Other than the fact that fighting against the forces of heaven doesn't sound like a fun activity to go through there is also the obvious problem that we can not travel to that moment in Abaddon's life, only the moment of his life in this world." Elizabeth said blowing out smoke. "Time is a dimension, an extension or part of a universe. For us to travel into Abaddon's days as a hellguard would require for his to enter his home universe and travel back to that moment of time, which can also be a problem because there is a good chance that we may not end up at the right time line."

Harry ask Elizabeth what she means by right timeline. "I think Clover may cover this in his class once it starts but here is a possible spoiler for his class. The Many-worlds interpretation theory in Quantum Mechanics is real, there are many alternative histories and futures floating around in the vast ocean we call existence or the multiverse and each one is connected to a hub or mother universe or timeline. Right now as we speak there is probably a universe where you and your friends aren't dealing with this multiverse nonsense and are instead going through events that would be fitting for your world, or you can be going through something completely different that may or may not be possible in your world or maybe you never existed at all." Harry was amazed to hear this ground shaking information about time and reality, as he thought of what these worlds could be like he thought of one that made his heart clench. "Do you think there is a world out there where my parents are still alive and I was with them?" he said with a somber tone.

The mage didn't respond right away due to her smoking but once she blew out smoke she finally was able to speak to him. "Yes Harry, there are probably many universe where you and your parents are together in life and are also together in death. But there are also universes where both are alive but you aren't with them and not just because you were never born, but I rather not get to the specifics on why that may be the case." Harry had a feeling on what Elizabeth wanted to say and he felt angry that she would claim that his parents would do anything harmful to him, but he calm down once he remembers that they are talking about other worlds, not this one.

Soon the others were talking about time travel and sure enough the Doctor and Clover shot down the time travel idea since there was an obvious time paradox waiting to hit them, she was curious when he called it Type A. "Type A? You're telling me there are different types of time travel? What type does the one in my world falls into? Before you ask Type A is possible in my world but usually a time and space mage often finds themselves in an alternative time line that is very similar to the main one."

[Radioactive Proboscis Monkeys]

Steve and Claudia

"Oh, we were just looking around. Figured it was a good place to sight see." Claudia said nonchalantly to the Auror. She didn't think they would buy into this excuse, but figured it would be best if she didn't tell the truth about who they were.

As the two started to follow the Auror they began to get a little nervous as they didn't know who these people were or what intentions they had.
Whatever their intentions were, Claudia was not planning to be very forth coming with who she was and where she came from. She didn't know if these people knew about the threat of the Multiverse being destroyed and didn't want to cause any trouble. When the Auror mentioned that they intended to figure out how they got there, she looked at Steve and shook her head very lightly as to tell him not to reveal anything.

[Slenderman The CreepyPasta King]

"And maybe you'll end up in the War of Eden. My kind is not one to be trifled with. When God promised humanity Eden, we got angry and started destroying humanity. The angles tried to stop us, many died, and that's when Abbadon got grazed with affkiction. The only Nephilim that didn't go withy the others was us." War said. "I mean you think Abbadon is bad, try an entire race of us." he then said pointing to death and himself.

[The Dark Brotherhood of Deros]

What?! Did anything make sense in Elizabeth's world? Time cant just correct itself if a paradox was formed, it would rip everything apart! "How is that even possible?! Time doesn't work that way!" The Doctor insisted. sure time could correct itself with things that weren't set events, but paradoxes? that was a whole other thing.

[Naval Monte]

...

"Yeah maybe if I was still new to time and space magic I would make a mistake like that but while I don't use it at a daily basis I'm knowledgeable not to make novice mistakes like those. Plus as mention I would need to travel to his home universe if I want to kill him at that point, no I was thinking of getting him when Snape manage to hurt him back in his attack on Hogwarts. Once he is injured we all rush down and fight him before he can leave the castle. But as the Doctor mention this idea as the lovely problem of causing a time paradox."

When the Doctor asked her on how it was possible for time to fix itself she turn her head to grin at the time lord. "Simple doctor, time itself isn't doing the repairs. The real source are beings whose very form, intelligence and powers make them something akin to gods or beings who can warp reality just enough that they are physical demi-gods. Than of course you have the beings who exist beyond time and space, being able to control both while being immune to any shifts or paradoxes that can happen. Actaully the other two mention can also fall into this third category as well, not all but some."

she explained, taking a drag on her cigarette. "The best way to piss them off is to change time in such a way that it would create a completely different form of modern history. Sometimes they react to smaller changes cause those changes set off some sort of butterfly effect that would cause a larger change in the future, a change that for one reason or another the powers that be do not want."

She gave the time lord a sympathetic smile, knowing full well that what she said most likely sounded like the rantings of a madwoman. “Trust me doc, I had the same reaction too when my teacher told me all of this, but being with him did show me that most of what he told me is true, though there was some that I didn’t see.. or I did see but time was changed so I never saw it.” Elizabeth shook her head once she realize that she was going into the headache inducing territory that time and space magic is infamous for back in her world.

Elizabeth cursed herself on the fact that she has nowhere to throw away her nearly spent cigarette. They soon reach the hall where the group was seeing two of the Warehouse agents about to be lead out by a group of aurors. "Oh boy, I think the magical fuzz think that they are muggles that snuck into the castle. Let's save their sorry arses before they erase their memories." Elizabeth walked forward, reaching the group and getting in their way. "Evening gentlemen, I see you notice yet another new addition to Hogwarts. Until the Muggle history professor is feeling better these two are going to act as her substitute."

The aurors looked at each other with questionable looks, they asked if Dumbledore hired them to which Elizabeth replied with a yes. "Fine we will let them go. I still don't know why he would hire muggles of all things into Hogwarts but it's his school so he as the right to do whatever he pleases in here so long as he doesn't break any major laws." the aurors let the warehouse agents go and went back to their investigation. "You two should thanks me, any slower on those wankers would have erased your memory." Elizabeth explained. The mage turn to the group. "I think one of us should stick with them so no one else thinks that they are muggles who somehow found their way into the school, I would volunteer but I still have plans on meeting my bed soon."

[Slenderman The CreepyPasta King]

"And I would if I wasnt ordered to go rest up." Death said before walking to the slytherin house.

"Not me, i'm going to go train some more, don't wan't my swordsmanship skills to dull down." War said, walking off to the Gryffindor house.

So supernatural beings controlled the flow of time and space in her universe? nope, nothing was normal about her at all. The Doctor sighed and shook his head. "You know, it seems like every time I go on an adventure to save something, I often encounter something insane." He muttered.

After the Warehouse crew was saved, the Doctor continued to speak. "Well, I think that I'm going to head on over to Gryffindor house as well. May as well get to know the kids I'll be teaching." He said, following War. He would arrive soon after.

[Petrokovia]

Death Star
At the battle, Darth Vader spun to the left to avoid the bolts and prepared to fire again when a shock wave knocked him and his escort out of sync. The Dark Lord maneuvered around to see the Death Star's wreckage in flames. He observed that for a moment before ordering all fighters to break off from their attacks and regroup at the assembly of Star Destroyers. Once all fighters and Lord Vader arrived, the fleet jumped into hyperspace out of the Alderaan System.

"Haha, yeah, you better run!"
The arwing pilots returned to the Great Fox, where their arwings would stay clamped to the floor of a large hangar for repairs.

Once back in the hangar, Fox spoke up.
"Hey, guys! Great work! Where's Clay? I want to thank him for his help."
"Yeah, especially since he basically did the whole thing."
"He's not back yet. I wonder what happened to him."

Slippy checked the ship's radars for signs of life, and soon found several pings in the same location.
"That's weird. Hey, Is there a chance that any of the Death Star crew could've survived?"
"No."
"I'm getting multiple people showing up on radar, but none of them are in ships."
"That is weird. Let's check it out."

Peppy slowly brought the Great Fox around to where the multiple Clays were, and then stopped. Fay looked outside the window, face pressed against the glass.
"Is that Clay? I can't quite tell. They look so small out there..."

The day was oddly idyllic for what may be brewing under all of the excitement, as this man was no other than Looker, globe trotting elite of the International Police!

Playing chess near the docks were two unassuming men in their early 30's, both wearing suits. One of them looked over the other's shoulder, and saw Looker. He resumed normal seating position, and spoke to his brother across the table from him.
"Hey, Bert. I think that's one-a them G-P-I guys. Should we tail 'im?"
"Nah. After this game we'll inform the Boss, see what he wants us to do. He'll probably just want us to stay put 'till the guy gets too nosy."

After receiving his share of exposition and a teleporter, Giovanni went back to his office. The first thing he did was make a call downstairs, and inform some scientific administrator that he had finally found a way to get to the Distortion World, filling the last piece of the puzzle. Then he received a skype call from a couple of men. The men showed up on the screen, with their hotel room in the background.
"Ah, Ernesto and Bertoldo. News?"
"Yes, Boss. Ernie here spotted a Global Police Investigator stepping out on the docks here. Think it might be a small bust like last time?"
"Hmm. It could mean trouble for us, if he catches on. And I am willing to bet he is in Kanto because of us. keep an eye on him, but don't get too close."
"Yes, sir."
As soon as the call ended, Ernie turned to Bert.
"Yo, I told ya he would want us to tail him."
"Whatever."

That night, the two drove in their car to an area not too far away from the hotel Looker was staying at.
"What makes you think he's staying here?" asked Bert.
"There's only two major hotels in Vermilion, and I didn't see him enter our place. Besides, this is usually where the Interpol send all of their big-shot investigators."
"Good 'nough for me."
Bert then grabbed a bag of chips, and the two sat and watched the hotel from afar.

[Radioactive Proboscis Monkeys]

Claudia and Steve were being led by the Aurors down the halls when they ran in to Elizabeth, who got the Aurors to let the two go.

"Good to know a maniac has our backs." Steve said to Elizabeth sarcastically.
"Thanks though, the last thing we need is to lose our memories." Claudia added.

When Elizabeth suggested that someone should stay with them, Steve said quickly, "No thanks, we don't need a baby sitter. Now that we know we could get out minds wiped we will be sure to keep away from of any more of those....people."

"I don't know, it could be helpful to have someone around who can back us up." Claudia suggested. "Any volunteers?" She added with an unsure smile.

Ulrik sighed "Look, let's just go and think of the plan along the way. Time isn't on our side and the longer we wait the further away that ring is. I remember seeing a town named Bree nearby when looking at the map, it's just east of here along this road. Once there we'll ask around for the whereabouts of these Hobbits, and get a new map. Sound like a plan?"

Rapporan
Bill Cipher turned around and consulted his future vision, then turned back around "Actually, Flowey. I've changed my mind, you can't have the human sou-" but Flowey was dead. "Oh..... Didn't see that coming, or at least I didn't see it coming in this timeline. Anyways, I should probably just interrupt the fight over there, but right now I think I'll just watch."

Xeltos shook his head. "It's not likely. Homura seemed smart enough to immediately leave what, to her, would be the most dangerous place in reality. She probably stole a portal generator and went to Rapporan, and we're not about to launch in invasion of Asteraoth's home base to get her. Do be wary if you see her out in the field. This only proves how dangerous she is."

Death Star
After is sixth go of watching the Death Star explode, Clay finally turned and acknowledged the crew of the Great Fox with a wave and a weak smile. The other hims started vanishing in flashes, going back in time to become the next iteration of themselves and eventually become him. While this happened, Clay slowly flew into the Great Fox's hangar, landed, collapsed on the ground, refilled his lungs with air, and said, "Hey guys, I did it," in a raspy voice.

"Preach it mate." Elizabeth said, agreeing to what the Doctor said about always encountering something insane in whatever adventure those two go through. Once Death, War and The Doctor made their final words to the group they departed to their respective houses. Elizabeth was about to say Harry and Sayaka but found that the two of them have left as well, leaving behind Clover who obviously didn't want to take the job either. "Just my luck." the mage thought as she sighed in defeat. "Right since my team are being tossers right now I will have to be your manic guardian for now so that way the aurors don't go trigger happy on their wands." Elizabeth stated.

She walked forward and placed her arms around both Steve and Claudia's shoulders. "So lead the way you two." she flash the two a smile.

At the Slytherin house Death found that it was a dungeon that was not only located at the basement level of Hogwarts but was also underneath the great lake near the castle as well. The common room is a dungeon-like room with greenish lamps and chairs. This dungeon extends partway under the lake, giving the light in the room a green tinge. The common room has lots of low backed black and dark green button-tufted, leather sofas; skulls; and dark wood cupboards. It has quite a grand atmosphere, but also quite a cold one. It is decorated with tapestries featuring the adventures of famous Medieval Slytherins.

Inside most of the Slytherin students were minding their own business, each one took a glance at Death before returning back to whatever it is they were doing. Draco was in his bed writing down more messages to his father, whether or not he knew that his father was using his messages to gain tactical information on the heroes would only be known to Malfoy himself. His current letters include everything that has happen before, during and after his class with War.

Malfoy's two goons were guarding the entrance to the bedrooms, encase one of the heroes, mainly Elizabeth as the young boy considers her an enemy as great as Potter, from entering in and messing with him.
------

In the Gryffindor house once War and the Doctor arrived they found themselves surrounded by students. Most of them were asking if what happen in the class was true, about Lucifer being summon, Voldemort's return, the episode with the wands that happen with some of the heroes. Among the questions ask was some asking if the Doctor was truly an alien, if Elizabeth was actually attacked by a Dementor and if an auror came to the school severely injured only to vanish without a trace, eventually one of them ask if Harry really was an orphan.

"That one is true." Harry said in a somber tone. "So is everything else, including Voldemort's return." the students who did not attend War's class were shock, some now panicking over the news of both the dark lord and the demon king being in their world. Harry turn to the two heroes. "So what is your next plan of attack? We know that we have the abyss plan but do you guys have anything else before that one can be used?"
------

Back in the Riddle House Lucius decided to read what his son had sent him due to Voldemort losing his patience with Hades's arrival. Lucius told Voldemort some of the heroes that they didn't know like Sayaka, Clover, and Elizabeth along with some that left for reasons unknown like the trolls. Thankfully for the heroes these messages only go for what happened yesterday but still contain key information like what each hero was capable of doing as far as Malfoy knew and what happened with Peter and Sirius.

"Lucius your son has done both our cause and your family a great service, you will be rewarded handsomely for this." Lucius bow and said his thanks to his dark lord. "I want this Sayaka and Elizabeth both alive along with Harry Potter. I wish to know the secrets of their magic before I can begin to explore the greater whole of the multiverse." Voldemort in particular was interested in Elizabeth's powers to not only ward against demons but also banish them, along with the implications that she can most likely summon and bind them along with other powers that can be used against them.

Sayaka's powers are more of a curiosity for Voldemort but he can see how having her swordsmanship can be useful along with conjuring physical objects from thin air, but he would need to find a way to get rid of the silly dress first. Be prepared for the next batch of messages Malfoy, your son is proving to be quite the spy even if he doesn't notice it yet." Voldemort now has to wonder how Abaddon will react to what the messages have said about the other heroes.

The pieces of the weapon that he brought over were taken away already in a secret workshop so Voldemort can both study and repair the object. Voldemort knows that his new powers can allow him to fix it but encase Abaddon decides to betray him and the Death Eaters Voldemort can always use the sword as a trump card, one that Abaddon ironically hand delivered to him.

Death kind of felt at home in the slitheryn house. He split harvester into two hand sized scythes and pocketed them. He walked around trying to familiarize the place when he walked near Malfoy's room. Then he continued walking and knocked on snspe's door when he reached it. "Snape, I need to talk to you about your former boss."

"I'm alright with that. Except we don't need to pick up a map, I have one right here." Itchy held up a map of Middle Earth.

Clover returned to the Hufflepuff common room where he was bombarded with questions about the day's events. He spent most of the evening reassuring students that everything was under control, but to no avail.

[The Dark Brotherhood of Deros]

Gryffindor house
The Doctor soon found himself bombarded with questions, however Harry saved him before he was destroyed. Harry then asked what their plan was. "Well, aside from me planning your next class, I don't really have anything better than what we've already decided." The Doctor said.

Riddle House
"Well whats all this then? Scheming without your's truly? I'm hurt!" Came Hades voice. then his Astral form materialized before Voldemort. "So how are we doing Voldy? I hope Thanatos hasn't been making any trouble for you, because that would be a tragedy!" He continued, that ever so obnoxious troll-face appearing.
