Chapter 2: Shadows of the Past Part Two

Chapter TextChapter Two: "Ghosts of the Past Part Two."

The entire world heard the statement that echoed throughout the entire city. Every set of ears within hearing distance could pick it up and the news media heard it, which meant it would be spread far and wide all around the world. There were whispers that were overheard, as they wondered who the Star Child was and why they should turn him over.

One orbital cycle was the ultimatum that was given. There was no telling what the consequences might be but it would not be prudent to test this individual. That was the case with many consequences; there was nothing good that can come from it.

Harry showed back into town just in time to hear some mysterious enemy calling for his head. His form was cloaked so he could not be seen. The camouflage spells allowed Harry's body to warp into the surroundings around him, which worked like a charm as no one even flinched as he rushed in next to them. Given the nature of the message that he was greeted with, not being seen might have been the most promising thing in the world. The wizard turned on his heel and listened for the humming.

Kara floated next to him, dressed in some Earth clothes that they acquired. She wore a black jacket, a white tank top, and tight blue pants that wrapped around her lower half. The blonde saw the scene unfold before her.

"Okay, I'll bite, what's this about?" Harry breathed but Kara shrugged her shoulders as she tried to study the ship.

"I don't really know," Kara commented as she bit down on her lip nervously. "The problem is….well Jor-El made a few friends during his time and more than a few enemies."

Harry placed his hands over the back of his head and rolled it back, that was about right. Then again, he had to deal with the same thing from his Earth father making an enemy out of Snape. So why would things be different with the Kryptonian version?

Now was not the time to bemoan about what happened, rather it was the time for Harry to keep his eyes focused on the ship along with the mysterious occupant that currently called for his head. He saw a weird pulsing energy field wrapped around it. The energy was unlike anything that he'd ever seen or experienced on Earth. The young mutant alien wizard twisted his sight off to the side and heard it humming rather loudly.

Dare he rush it and see what was up with it?

Harry felt that this was only the beginning of something dangerous that could put many people within the city in the cross fire. He hovered high in the air.

"If the Star Child can hear this, your deception will only last for so long. I can shield the world from the dangers his presence causes you but you must hand him over. It's for the Greater Good."

Harry had no idea why but hearing that phrase made him want to hurl.

"So come out from beneath your rock and take the medicine that you deserve. I promise that things will be made easier on you."

"Melodramatic much," Harry remarked as he placed his arm around Kara who was hovering above the ground. The wizard spun around to face the blonde. The two of them looked at each other. "Well….there's really no point in hiding too much longer. He knows that I'm here."

Kara nodded in agreement. "And his…..that ship looks pretty high tech."

Harry wasn't exposed to Kryptonian technology for his entire life, so he would have to take her word for it. Knowing Harry's luck, the ship would be resistant to all energy attacks including magic. Any villain with a few brain cells in their head would find ways to negate magical attacks whenever possible. The few that didn't, well they didn't have many brain cells in their head to begin with to not negate an obvious and easy way to take them down.

The wizard's eyes followed the situation and sirens were heard. There were a countless number of people converging on the scene, the police were trying to close off the area around the ship to make sure no one got too close. It was futile.

'There's nowhere on Earth they'll be able to hide,' Har-Rell thought to himself as he turned around, his eyes narrowed.

He tried to focus his X-Ray vision because he could analyze energy patterns with greater precision. And with any luck, he could analyze a weakness in the ship that he could exploit. The wizard saw several microscopic particles working together in unison, it was almost like a hive mind type situation as the nodes twisted together. The wizard's eyes flickered towards his destination and his heart thumped even more loudly across his chest.

Kara wondered what he was doing but she remained quite.

"It….doesn't appear to have a flaw," Harry whispered to her.

Kara opened her mouth but Harry silenced her.

'Actually it's best if the two of us speak like this,' Harry thought to Kara.

'I guess,' Kara thought to herself as her eyes closed and they flickered shut. 'I'm not sure if we can get to it from here.'

'We've got to try, just isolate the sounds the best you can and we'll go from there,' Harry thought to her as he grabbed her hand. 'It's all about focus, it's all about picking out one little hum out of a thousand. Trace the transmission because it's a feedback loop we can exploit.'

'How do….how do you even know it will work?' Kara asked, granted she worked with her powers a little bit in the training simulator her mother had. Yet going through a training simulation and going against an actual situation was two different things all together.

'Have some faith, Kara, it will work,' Harry thought to her as the two Kryptonians tried to get a sense of what was going on around them.

The wizard listened to the situation at hand, and he wondered if the other members of the X-Men or the various heroes that were mulling around the area of New York heard the transmission signal. Knowing them, they were going to be on the ball as usual which caused Harry to be on the edge of his nervousness

Krypton made many enemies and that was a statement that Harry remembered that Kara informed him. Lara mentioned it as well, so it was something that he should be reinforced.

And given that he and Kara were the last two survivors of the planet. They were at the top of the hit list.

The Quinjet that contained the Avengers touched down in front of a nightclub with the marquee of "Delacour's" on it. It was one of the hottest night clubs in town. Iron Man, Black Widow, and Hawkeye exited the jet and tried to get a good look around.

"Okay, Thor, Ms. Marvel, and Mockingbird are close by but it will be nearly thirty minutes before they are able to get here," Iron Man informed the rest of the team. "So can we….I don't know, try and go in there and not draw attention to ourselves."

"Something tells me that thing knows that we're here," Hawkeye stated as he looked at the energy field appearing around it that knocked the tanks over as they tried to approach it. "And something tells me that my arrows won't even ding the paint job."

"Yeah that goes without saying," Natasha agreed as she frowned and looked at everything but she heard the faint echoing and the humming that came from the ship.

"Once again, you harbor one who comes from a planet of war criminals. If you do not bring him forth within the time your sunsets upon your planet, then that will be the final sunset that you will ever experience for the rest of your life."

There was another humming as Tony tried to calibrate his suit to lock onto it. He whistled nonchalantly as he spun around.

"Well, they're not….well they're not lacking for any attention," Tony offered in a pained tone of voice.

"We've got to take that thing out, now," Natasha said as she held a gun over her shoulder and prepared to take fire. "It has to have a weak spot."

"Well, it's doing a damn good job at hiding it," Tony remarked as he tried to keep scanning the bottom of the ship but found nothing. "Just got to figure out how to coordinate a way get around that thing's defenses and then I'll be in, trust me, it will go off without a hitch."

There were many hitches in that plan as the Avengers were rapidly finding out. Thor and Ms. Marvel were still a short while from arriving but they couldn't help wonder what state they would be in by the time that got here. The ultimatum rang supreme.

There was one particular woman who was not a super hero but she also did not know any fear. Lois stood at the edge of the grounds and heard the winds whispering on either side. The purple eyed woman flickered her expression towards the ship. It was beyond army standard which meant that they were being visited by someone who was not quite of their world.

Again, twice in a little over two weeks that was about two much to be a coincidence.

Lois knew that she was not going to get any closer than her vantage point.

'Unless….no that's too risky,' Lois thought to herself which meant it was more than perfect to take the risk that she wanted to take. The dark haired reporter climbed up a ladder and looked up over the edge.

She was perched in a perfect vantage point, to see the army helicopters circling around the ship. The reporter watched from her perch point, her fingers nervously drumming. The dark haired woman bit down on her lips as her head turned off to the side.

'Okay, it's….it's moving in this directions, and they're trying to take a shot at the ship,' Lois thought to herself as her eyebrow raised a little bit before she let out the breath she was holding. 'Are they insane?'

Again, there was no way to answer that question with picture perfect clarity. The dark haired woman placed her hands on the edge of the wall that she stood and leaned forward to face the situation. Her purple eyes flickered forward and she studied the situation. There was chaos on the ground. The first volley was not effective, so they were coming around to try to get in front of the ship to before launching another. The woman twisted her expression around and studied the scene before her once again.

'Yeah its official, they are nuts.'

Once again, Lois frowned as she heard the next few words.

'Fire at will, yeah its official, they are nuts,' Lois repeated to herself twitching her thumbs slightly and her eyes widened as they followed the progress of the men on the ground.

They were nuts as the woman turned her head around and breathed in before she breathed out. There was a rumbling that echoed from underneath her.

Elsewhere, Harry made his way around the crowd, with Kara following him. The two of them flew over the heads of everyone. It was one of those damned if you do, damned if you don't type things, because if they flew too high, they would be running into the army helicopters. If they walked they would be running into the troops on the ground.

Harry preferred not to run into anyone at least for now. His knuckles cracked together as he kept a slight eye on them. The wizard's expression flickered forward as he scanned it but there was one thing that he established in a matter of moments.

'The person who is in that ship isn't there,' Harry thought to Kara and her eyes widened. 'It's a scouter ship, he'll arrive once they've surrendered me.'

'You're not going to surrender, are you?' Kara asked.

Harry snorted.

'I didn't even bother to look up the meaning of the word,' Harry admitted to the blonde.

Kara did not say anything now; she waited for Harry as his eyes followed the progress of the tanks. There was one statement that fluttered through Harry's mind as he breathed in and he breathed out.

'Idiots.'

Harry decided that it was best to clarify after that statement went through his head. 'They'll never be able to blow a hole through their defenses, not even in a million years, not now, now ever.'

Harry saw everyone back off and the tanks roll in before a missile was launched at the ship.

There was a pause and the shell was held in place by the energy field. The commander raised a hand, telling them to cease their fire. A moment in time existed were everyone looked around and there was a long pause as he breathed heavily in and out.

'Nothing,' Harry thought to her. 'See what you can do about getting the civilians out of here if things get ugly.' 

'Right,' Kara thought to herself as she waited for the signal at a moment's notice.

An explosion resounded as the shell bounced off the tank.

Lois moved out of the way and scrambled down the steps. She never thought that she would see the army do something so entirely stupid. The woman's eyes widened, if her father saw something like this, he would roll over in his grave. And given that he was not even dead, that really would be a grand accomplishment in stupidity.

The reporter staggered a slight amount as she felt herself get rocked by the missile explosion beneath her. The building quaked around her and she lost her balance.

Lois was about to get crushed by the falling debris but someone or something pushed her out of the way. Someone caught her in his arms and things were happening way too fast for her to reconcile everything. The debris that flew towards the crowd suspended in the air.

The reporter did get a look at her mysterious savior for he moved too fast but he did save her ass. She would be getting her story alright if he did not intervene, her own obituary.

"This is Cat Grant of Daily Bugle Communication and I am on the scene here as an alien ship appeared earlier today. Our mysterious attacker from the stars showed up today and demanded that we surrender someone, or something he called the Star Child to him. The entire city must wonder one thing and that is, who is this Star Child? Why is this attacker here, what does he truly want? We're going to stay with this as long as we can, until the very end."

Rachel watched the television at the Xavier Institute with a nervous expression flickering through her eyes, she heard the mysterious Star Child being talked about. The red head woman put every single piece together. About a day ago they got the news that Harry Potter was alive and was out there. She supposed that she should have had more faith in him but it was just the way he supposedly died that was so shocking and sudden.

"Wait….there's been….what is that?"

The blonde reporter turned around as she saw a blur move off to the side. The woman who he saved had wide eyes and her breathing quickened.

"This just in a mysterious hero has shown up and saved civilians from the alien ship which has tried to attack us."

"No way."

Rogue breathed out this question as she popped up and placed a hand on her hips. The young mutant's eyes widened at the events happening on the television screen and her heart beat strongly against her chest. Her eyes blinked rapidly as her breathing became even more frantic. The young mutant arched her head back and let another breath out.

"It's actually….yeah I figured this was going to happen," Rachel offered but then she shook her head. "Looks like Harry returned."

"And he's in the thick of things as usual," Kurt commented as he showed up.

"So, he decides to show back up and gets himself right into trouble," Scott offered as he showed up for the first time that day. The mutant's eyes narrowed. "Figures."

Rogue was not in the mood to deal with Scott's bullshit and neither were Wanda or Rachel by the looks in their eyes. She was the one who finally broke the silence. "The thing about Harry is that he might get himself into trouble but he gets himself out of trouble pretty well. So I wouldn't really worry about him too much."

Scott's eyes flickered a moment and he was about ready to say something but there was another bit on the news that prevented him from speaking once again.

"This just in, our mysterious visitor from the stars has brought forth another message. We're trying to get the feed up so you the viewing audience can hear it."

The humming nearly blew out the television speakers as the group of X-Men edged around it.

"So he is present, but he does not show himself. The problem is that his kind does not care about anything when they conquer. I am a savior of this world but I will destroy it should the Star Child not surrender himself."

Rogue's eyes widened and she wanted to slap herself. What kind of backwards logic was coming out of his mouth? The southern belle could not follow that line of reasoning even for a moment and she wondered if someone was losing his mind the more he talked.

"I will give you a short time longer but if the Star Child does not face me, he will suffer the consequences."

"I don't think he wants to go there," Amara whispered, speaking up for the first time. She sat in the corner, quiet, watching, along with the rest of the new mutants.

"Well we got to go down there, don't we?" Bobby asked and Scott spun around to face him.

"This isn't our problem."

Scott stated these words in the most dismissive way possible, in such a matter that they could not believe what he said. The rest of the X-Men looked completely exasperated that he said such a thing.

Tabby decided to offer him her own two cents. "Isn't our problem? Are you fucking retarded? You know there's a damn good reason why no one likes you…."

"Enough, Tabitha," Xavier offered in a crisp voice, knowing that the last thing he needed was the team being broken apart by infighting. Now that Harry departed, Scott was going to be the leader of this team. He might not be the leader that anyone wanted but he was the leader that he needed. "We don't even know if it was young Mister Potter down there."

"Actually there might be a pretty good chance it was Harry, if that girl who came here informed him that Kitty was gone," Ororo remarked to the rest of them.

"I can't believe you didn't notice she left until the morning," Rogue offered as she gritted her teeth. "But then again, giving the mansion's stirring security system I'm not surprised."

Xavier allowed Rogue's comment to brush over him.

"So what are we going to do?" Kurt asked and Scott was the one that tried to answer the question but it was Jean that stepped up.

"We're all heading downtown, we're going to see what's going on," Jean said as she stepped on Scott's toes, taking the leadership of the team. She figured that someone was going to have to step up and do so, since Harry had other more pressing matters on his hand. Phoenix Force or no Phoenix Force, Jean was not going to just sit back and ideally wait for this team to sink into the ground.

Scott's disbelief was completely off the charts.

"I do think that it might be a good idea to at least take a look at the situation that's transpiring," Xavier offered before he added. "But this is merely a fact finding mission, do not engage the enemies. Let's not forget that given recent events, mutants aren't the top of the list."

"Don't see you doing much of anything to put out good publicity," Rogue said in a challenging voice.

"Rogue, that was out of line," Scott offered and Rogue rolled her eyes.

"Shut the fuck up, boy scout!" Rogue snapped back.

"We should go now, see if we can help any," Kurt offered as he tried to be the one to maintain peace in this situation and Scott's eyes widened. "Hey man, nothing against you but that ship looks dangerous. People could get hurt."

Kurt thought that Scott should remove the stick from his ass before someone ripped it out of it and beat him to death with it. But he was not about to say that out loud.

The X-Men all got to their feet, with Scott following them, about to open his mouth but he was cut off.

"Follow my lead," Jean told them all and they all ignored a few half-hearted attempts by Scott to try and take the reigns.

'Good for you Mom, a pet rock has better leadership skills than Cyclops,' Rachel thought to herself as the group scrambled out the door.

It was now time to show himself to the world for the first time, well kind of. Harry was not about to let Arcane make a return to the world. As far as the world at large knew, he was dead or at least in hiding. In fact, from the few bits of information that traveled to his ears at the Fortress, Arcane had developed some kind of Elvis like cult status where people speculated on whether or not he was dead, with a website that tracked various "sightings."

That both amused and scared Harry at the same time.

In the end, Harry wondered if people really should do better things with their time. He stepped forward, dressed in a black long coat, a black shirt, and black pants, with a silver symbol etched on the edge of the coat. It was a triangle with a circle in the middle and two lines down it, upside down for the world to see.

"Star Child, I am growing impatient."

"Then you should learn some patience!" Harry yelled, as he rushed forward. No one could get a clear shot of his face. The nature of magic prevented him from being picked up on camera as anything but an indistinguishable blur.

The menace in the ship remained silent, there was a moment in time where everything crawled to a stop. Harry wondered if he thought this little mission through so far or not. Kara returned, having herded many of the civilians off but she was ready to go at a moment's notice, in case more came.

"You are not a coward, that is a virtue that will serve you well upon your death," the voice echoed from the ship surrounded with an energy field. "And both of the last children of Krypton stand before me, soon to be defeated, but it is something that I have looked forward to for quite some time."

a rumbling echoed through the ship.

"I've waited for a long time…."

Harry analyzed the ship and several razor sharp spikes made of pure magical energy were conjured in mid air and fired. He was not going to mess around with this guy, he was going straight for the kill. While he sensed that the ship might be made invulnerable against magic, he was still going to try to bombard it anyway. On the off chance that he was wrong, he could get something done.

The blasts of magical energy connected with the ship with a solid explosion. It rocked the ship hard and Harry's eyes turned slightly.

There was nothing, not even a dent in the edge of the ship.

"A noble effort."

Harry was getting annoyed by him already. The Kryptonian mage edged forward before he threw his head back and spoke in a commanding voice. "There is nothing noble about your effort, you know."

"Arrogant whelp."

"Oh, that's cute, isn't it Kara?" Harry whispered to the blonde beside him.

"Yeah it is, Har-Rell, it's extremely cute," Kara stated as the ship hummed next to her.

Harry waited for his words to sink in before he began to speak once more and he spoke in his most commanding voice possible.

"Let's face it, you can't defeat me, you don't have the power to do so. So you're weak and….you're not even here right now are you?"

Harry's expression twisted to a rather malevolent smile.

"Let's face it, no matter what you try to do, you can't defeat me."

Har-Rell's face was smiling wildly, in a moment that should have been captured for the world.

"Sad really."

There was a rumbling within the ship as Harry shifted himself up and waited for the individual to present himself. Forcing him to fight head on by playing to the ego of this entity, that was what Harry was hoping for.

'Actually, I wonder if this is…a good idea,' Kara thought to him through the bond link.

'Kara, you'll learn before too long that heckling the bad guy is the most fun part of being a hero,' Harry thought, although he figured that he learned that from hanging around Spider-Man a bit too much to be considered healthy.

The crowd backed up, except for one reporter, who did not have enough near death experiences for one day. A large imposing figure strode forward. He had chalk white skin, with silver body armor that wrapped around him. His grey eyes focused on Harry intently and his silver hair stuck up in the air.

"You will pay for your insolence and your arrogance alien," it stated, although maybe it was he, although with some aliens it was hard to tell. "Krypton spurned my offer at alliance, and then humiliated my people."

'Here's a nice fact, this guy tried to conquer Krypton,' Lara thought from the Fortress as she transmitted a message into Harry's mind.

Harry was taken aback that he had some kind of mental link to the Fortress but he supposed that now as not the time to ask questions about that. Rather his eyes watched the individual facing him down.

"My name is Tyrell, if you wish to know your executioner," the individual offered.

"Yeah, I do think it's a common courtesy to know the name of the person that I'm about to knock around," Harry fired back without missing a beat.

He shot a white energy pulse from his hand but Harry threw himself to the ground and dodged it. His eyes squinted before the wizard sent heat vision out of his eyes towards his enemy but his shield protected him.

"You wish to play with fire, you might get burned," Tyrell offered but Kara broke out into laughter. The villain seemed confused. "Do you find my statement amusing, girl?"

"No it's just….I've heard people use that sentence on Earth television before, it's kind of….well it's kind of corny," Kara offered before she turned her head around and there was a fireball that shot out.

Kara had some pretty good reflexes and she dodged out of the way. The blonde tucked and rolled but then she saw a group of children in the way. She darted out of the way, scooping them up, and speeding them off, before they could be crushed.

Harry jumped into the air and grabbed Tyrell around the waist, before leaping higher. His body flew to undreamed of heights, before he brought his enemy higher and higher above the pavement, to make the most impact before he hit the ground.

Tyrell struggled, this was not going as he planned, and sure enough, the Kryptonian let go of him. He tried to accelerate himself to the ground but a series of ropes shot around him. The enemy spiraled in the air like a demented marionette on a string, before he was flung head over heels.

"Just wait," Tyrell stated as he tried to heal himself but was blasted once more.

"I'm sorry, I thought that we were going to fight," Harry told him as he placed a hand on his hip.

"Just wait," Tyrell stated as he tried to heel himself but was blasted once more.

There was a loud round of explosions as the X-Jet touched down to the ground outside of the area that was roped off. Once the jet was safely on the ground, Jean exited it and stepped forward. There was something about the ringing in her ears now that was vaguely unsettling.

"I'm sorry, I thought that we ready to fight."

Jean would recognize that voice anywhere, and Rachel, Rogue, and Amara picked things up, with Wanda following behind them. The group exited the jet, followed by the others.

"Remember what the Professor said…."

"There!" Rachel yelled as she ignored Scott and pointed to see the blur in the distance that dodged an energy attack.

"Okay, I'll bite, what is that thing?" Bobby asked as he watched them all.

Tabby closed her eyes. "Someone that wants to take Harry down in the worst way."

"Is there a best way to take down someone like Harry?" Bobby asked but that statement got no answers whatsoever.

There was a loud humming around them once again, the ship was abandoned and Jean felt like she was drawn by it a little bit. Her eyes flickered in mild recognition and the humming got even more prominent. The ship was before her.

'Jean….it's…' the garbled voice of the Phoenix Force sounded.

Jean shook her head, the Phoenix Force was back, kind of, and it was like a badly tuned radio. She wondered where it had gone in the last few days.

The debris fired out into the crowd but Jean stopped it with a telekinetic attack.

"I think we should take this vandal down with extreme prejudice!"

The thunderous voice of Thor could be heard as he showed up, with Ms. Marvel behind him, to join Iron Man, Black Widow, and Hawkeye, who had most of the crowd out of the way.

"Well it looks like the gang is all here, so can we stop this guy?" Iron Man asked but Hawkeye raised his eyebrow as he watched the battle before him.

"Why, he's doing plenty?" Hawkeye asked Iron Man and sure enough the battle continued.

Harry thought that he held his own against some rather dangerous individuals but this guy had a real axe to grind with him. Which was a shame, as the wizard never met this Tyrell guy in his entire life and there was another loud humming that was driving him up a wall. He avoided hearing the humming and powered on through.

'Okay, I might not have met him before but now I don't want to,' Harry thought to himself as he drilled him with several high impact attacks.

A combination of magical and physical attacks was the order of the day for this particular wizard. He sent them at his enemy like a volley of intensity. The wizard continued to push himself forward and tried to nail him back.

"I don't think you've grasped one simple point…."

Harry angrily blasted him backwards, managing to maneuver him so he did not hit anyone but also give him the greatest amount of pain possible. He did not know where the organs were for this guy but he was bound and determined to hit the most painful spots that would not kill him. Given the grunts of agony, Harry was a bit closer to getting to that point than he believed previously.

If only he was done but a wizard's work was never done. He twisted his head around before he watched his enemy stagger to his feet. Tyrell was struggling, armor slightly damaged.

"You aren't the only one who thrives underneath a yellow sun, Kryptonian," Tyrell breathed as he felt the sun's healing embrace.

"Maybe, but you're the only one who is dependent on it," Harry commented before he flickered his hand and a red dome appeared around them.

Tyrell held his hand out and saw that his healing had been haltered. The red solar radiation filtered in to him.

"My powers are derived from magic, whilst you're very dependent on the suns healing yellow rays," Harry offered to him.

The enemy's eyes flickered towards his face.

"Very clever, but ultimately futile."

An energy blast cut through the air and rocketed towards Harry's chest.

He dodged the attack and Thor showed up to smash Tyrell in the chest for all that he was worth. His armor cracked and the enemy flew head over heels.

Time seemed to slow down to a crawl before his enemy smashed onto the ground with a thunderous crack. Bones could be heard cracking and snapping.

"I will not lie, that felt good," Thor offered, as finally that rogue had shut his mouth and silence was bliss.

"So, is it over already?"

Iron Man hovered over towards them, with the rest of the Avengers popping up, at least the ones who were able to show up for the battle on such short notice. The Armored Avenger used his armor gauntlet to analyze the blood that had been spilled on the ground.

"If I thought it was that easy….well I would be more concerned," Iron Man commented in a light tone of voice.

"Easy?" Harry asked.

Iron Man sighed before the man underneath the armor offered a few words to Harry. "Look, I know you're always a right little ray of sunshine but…."

There was a loud whistling sound from the ship, which had been left unattended during the battle. Kara flew over, clutching her ears.

It was now that Harry noticed that the X-Men were here but he could not really be bothered too much about that. The shrill sound assaulted his super powered hearing and his knees buckled slightly before him. He grabbed onto Kara as she nearly dropped to her knees.

"Awful," Kara breathed as she rubbed the side of her ears.

"Not just awful, he's done something," Harry offered as he picked up the beaten form of Tyrell, silver blood pouring out of his mouth. The emerald eyed enchanter shook Tyrell, glaring in his eyes. "What did you do?"

"Sealed your fate, sealed all of your fates. This world dies for its sins, and I am the savior that brings them to their realm of damnation."

Harry knew immediately then what it was, it was a bomb, and it kept humming.
