Harry Potter The Mutant Obscurus Gamer - Chapter 53

Harry’s freshly built New York home was about seven blocks east of New York’s Bleeker St Sanctum Sanctorum. Harry actually wanted something close to the New York University but unsurprisingly nothing was available for purchase. Instead, Harry found a store on 4th St and Broadway that sold Televisions which had gone under during the 2008 recession and had a real estate company he controlling interest in directly purchased the whole property. The building included two more stores above the address which were included in the purchase and after the paperwork was finalized, Harry had it all torn down.

Over the course of several months he had the foundation dug up and strengthened and built in a basement. He then had a three story home built into the space with an exterior of double layered reinforced cement blocks. Between the two layers was an alchemically produced agent Harry synthesized which would reflect any form of energy. This would prevent any energy inside the house from escaping and also protect the house from attack.

The first floor included a waiting area, living room, dinner hall, kitchen, restroom, and storage. The upstairs included three large bathrooms and half a dozen bedrooms including a very large master bedroom, three studies, a library, and several rooms for display pieces. The basement was for experiments and had as many magical protections as Harry could fit without risking implosion.

The entity that was the Phoenix had kept its word to Harry and had not tried to control or take over Jean in order to make her fulfill her duties as the Avatar of Life and Rebirth. Duties which included flying around the Universe and going to worlds that were better off burnt and burning them herself with Phoenix fire. Any planet, no matter how vile or filthy, would generate life energy like anything else if the surface were burnt with Phoenix flames and any such world would soon birth new life.

As Jean’s power grew, so did her connection to the Phoenix. Although the Phoenix did not force its will upon her, Jean would intuitively feel locations in the universe which needed ‘pruning’ the stronger her connection became. Every time she used her power as the Phoenix’s Avatar, she would feel the vileness of those worlds and feel an irresistible urge to burn them.

August 6th was the day where several different celestial energies would converge on the earth and was a good day for some ceremonies. The Wedding was basically a ceremony that would strengthen the connection between Jean and Harry so that she could suppress the urge to fly away into the stars.

That was one of the main reasons Rogue and Wanda conceded the role of Legal wife to Jean. Even if Harry used the Elixir of Life to extend their lives indefinitely, neither truly wanted to live forever so only Jean would be able to stay at Harry’s side until all the stars went out. Besides, both girls knew Harry fell in love with her first.

The wedding guests on the States’ side all met up at Harry’s new home while the guests on the other side of the pond went directly to the wedding site to be held on Black Island. Sirius insisted and since Harry figured he’d be watched if he held it anywhere else, he agreed.

When Magneto knocked on the door in a tuxedo along with a disguised Raven and Pietro, Scott and the students who received an invite were surprised but the Teachers were not. Erik walked directly over to Charles and started chatting. Pietro talked awkwardly with Wanda while Raven actually congratulated her and Rogue. At one point Raven Darkholme had actually taken care of Rogue and in a very real sense she was the closest thing the two had to a mother. Both were naturally quite happy to see her on this day.

The final guests on this side arrived and Harry welcomed the Ancient One, Mordo, and Wong as guests. Emma had actually been invited but she declined which caused Scott to mope for a while.

Harry had everyone gather in the waiting room and pulled out a diamond he made glow before placing it back into his inventory and throwing out a silver ring portal. Mordo raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything. Everyone walked through the portal onto the beach where Harry met up with Sirius, Amelia, Neville and Hermione. Unsurprisingly he was attacked with a hug from the latter but Harry withstood it without getting tackled to the ground.

As they waited for the timing of the convergence, everyone started mingling. Amelia and Ororo were chatting and laughing about their men being animals. Neville and Scott talked about their goals and dreams. Jean and Hermione were discussing magic, psionics, and sorcery with Wanda and Wong. The Ancient One and Xavier were having an interesting discussion, and Mordo and Logan kinda just stood to the side ready for something horrible to happen. Harry would consider them pessimists if they weren’t usually right. But holding the wedding on an island that cannot be found was the safest he could make it outside of holding it in another dimension.

The time eventually approached and the ladies walked over to some tents to get into their wedding dresses. Harry already had on his own tuxedo as it was not too uncomfortable to mingle in.

Harry wasn’t sure if he should have been surprised or not when his phone started ringing. Harry answered it and calmly said, “I’m certain you understand the consequences of interrupting today. What is it?”

The voice of the Goblin on the other end easily said, “I’ve sent a link to you. You’ll want to see this.”

Harry sighed and clicked on the link. Pages of data streamed down his phone’s screen but Harry could read it all at an insane rate. Harry looked up and said, “Fuck.”

Suddenly, the bright blue sky dimmed and was slowly shifting to an eerie purple. Everyone looked up and the Sorcerers among the group started casting scanning type spells.

The conversations died and the mood became tense. Jean sensed the changes and ran out with the others before they even got a chance to put on their wedding gowns.

The Ancient One finished scanning first and said, “There appears to be a layer of energy forming around the planet. The energy is tinting the light of the sun.”

Harry tapped on his phone’s screen and said, “A big bloody pyramid popped out of Egypt, went into the sky, and released a net of nodes which is generating the field of energy into an array.

Jean frowned and said, “I don’t like it. It feels wrong.”

Harry continued looking over the data streaming and said, “You’re not the only one. Five, no six countries have just launched their missiles.”

Moments later the first missiles impacted the field. Flashes of light could be seen even from the ground and the purple light shifted for a moment. However the sky remained unchanged. Harry confirmed from his intercepted readings that the missiles failed.

*Ping*

[New Quest: Stop the Apocalypse

Harry rolled his eyes at the pop up and said, “Screw it, the faster we blow that thing up, the sooner we can get back to the important things.” Thirty-five minutes was when they were going to have the wedding so someone else wanted to use the convergence it seemed.

Harry pulled out another Diamond and after making it vanish, he created a giant silver ring that opened into the pitch black voice of space. Hovering in front of the space was a giant pyramid that appeared to be made of black stone with metal circuits built around it.

Without bothering to question it, everyone lined up in front of the portal and fired. Scott released his Optic Beam at full blast. The Sorcerers channeled various energies into projectiles. Jean, Wanda, and Rogue fired psionic and magic bolts. And Sirius, Amelia, and even Neville joined the fun and fired various spells.

The massive pyramid shook and the purple glow it was emitting faltered and dimmed. Suddenly, the glow of the nearby nodes strengthened and according to Harry’s energy senses, the ones nearby were reinforcing this one. However the more energy it drew from the others, the more unstable it seemed to become. Harry shouted, “Keep going, it’s getting weaker!”

Moments later the pyramid seemed to crack. However before it could blow, the silver portal shattered and a massive glowing object appeared above the island.

Sirius shouted, “It couldn’t have gotten here, this island has centuries worth of layered protections.”

Harry considered it and said, “It teleported in through my portal. You locked the door but it seems I opened the window.” Harry wasn’t even aware there was something that could do that.

The object was unsurprisingly pyramid shaped as well and the size of a mansion. After a moment its glow lessened until the surface of the thing was revealed. Though pyramid in shape, its overall structure looked sleek and advanced. Like a spaceship.

The ship landed and the front opened up.

A dozen dangerous looking humans walked, some of which Harry recognized. They were mutants Harry killed in Sinister’s lair. They were followed by Mister Sinister himself who didn’t seem pleased to be here. And finally, the last one out was someone whose size could easily give Juggernaut a run for his money. He had grey skin and a blue mouth. His jawline was actually wider than his forehead giving him a malformed, mis-shapen appearance. His massive form was covered in purple armor that gave a mysterious sheen, unlike any other material Harry had ever encountered.

Harry and the Ancient One walked forward to meet them and Logan and Mordo followed close behind. In fluent Ancient Egyptian, the Ancient One said, {En Sabah Nur, to what do we owe the pŀėȧsurė of this visit?}

The massive mutant showed no surprise at her recognition and answered in perfect English, “Impressive. I came here to find those who dared interrupt the birth of my new world. But it seems I have found several suitable candidates for Horsemen.”

The blue giant raised his hand and four blue lights shot out and started zigzagging from the spacecraft. One shot towards the Ancient One while the other three shot for Harry’s fiancés.

Harry Paused and walked over. The blue lights stood still in frozen time and were in fact small disks. Harry considered several different possibilities but none of them were good. That being said, his girl’s weren’t defenseless either and Harry didn’t waste and concern over the Ancient One. She certainly didn’t need it.

Harry unpaused and saw a powerful multilayered mystic shield cover the Ancient One. The disk bounced off the shield and struck it twice more but was deflected each time.

Harry turned to Scott and shouted, “Keep your watch on!”

Jean and Wanda created shields and Rogue used Colossus’s power for defense. However the disks actually shattered their shields and latched onto Jean and Wanda. The third tried to latch onto Rogue but it couldn’t penetrate her skin.

Through their connection, Harry felt the disk try to connect to his girls. This made them mad. Jean covered herself in Phoenix flames and Wanda saturated her body in Chaos Magic. Harry was dumbfounded that the disks were not immediately destroyed, but they were getting damaged and released from the girls.

Harry had already pulled out a magic gun and fired at one of the disks the moment it released itself, but other than causing it to wobble a bit, it didn’t stop the disk from zooming around and latching onto someone else.

From the moment the disks shot out, including the resistance of the first targets and acquiring of the secondary targets, only five seconds had passed and most of the X-Men other than Logan had not reacted. Unfortunately Logan was too far away to stop one of the disks from landing on the back of Xavier’s neck. Another had targeted Magneto. He tried to use magnetism to throw it back but somehow the disk resisted and latched onto him anyways. The third disk got Ororo when she was distracted by the one that got Charles. And the last one hooked onto Remy LeBeau, who though not a teacher, had gotten a wedding invite because he was Rogue’s defacto big brother.

Two seconds after the disk attached, the four victims collapsed.

Scott shouted, “Who do you think you are?!” He turned off his watch and fired his optic blast directly at the mutant. It impacted his shoulder but other than giving off light and sparks, it caused no discernible effect.

The massive mutant stated, “I am Apocalypse. Now, rise my Horsemen. Death.” Remy, also known as Gambit, started floating into the air and straightened up. His arm twisted behind him and he pulled out a bo staff. A moment later however, staff changed and a giant blade appeared at one end, making it look like a grim reaper’s scythe. Apocalypse continued, “War.” Magneto stood up. The ground beneath him rose and fragments of metal buried in the earth covered him and hardened into a brutal looking set of armor. “Pestilence,” he continued. Storm rose up high into the air and her skin turned pale. Dark clouds started gathering ominously overhead. “Famine” Xavier’s body suddenly started floating directly off his chair and he was covered in a sickly purple aura.

Harry confirmed that each of the four’s body’s had been hijacked. Their conscious minds were not in control.

Apocalypse flatly stated, “Kill them.”

Gambit slammed his scythe against the ground and the tremor was amplified into a seismic wave which threw everyone off their feet. Thunder clouds crackle menacingly in the sky. Globs of earth rose from the ground and the metal within ȧssembled itself into armored soldiers. Xavier floated above them all and spread his arms out.

Without warning, everyone of the remaining guests received a mental attack. Jean easily resisted as did Wanda and Rogue who learned Occlumency. For the same reason, Sirius, Amelia, Neville and Hermione were able to withstand the attack. Occlumency was not just an art, but a form of mental protection magic. The sorcerers had faced numerous psionics and could withstand the ȧssault as well.

Other than them however, every other person on the island had fallen unconscious.

Harry flatly stated, “Well that’s not good.”

Mordo said, “I’ve faced worse.”

Harry rolled his eyes and said, “Wait for it.”

The unconscious students and teachers started getting up. They were now under Xavier’s control.

Mordo sighed and said, “I’ll just stay quiet then.”

The Ancient One added, “Please do.”

Harry just shouted, “They are being controlled, Stun them!”

Before the controlled faculty could attack, Sirius and Amelia shot back to back stunners at the controlled Horsemen and Neville and Hermione used stunners on the students. The latter were technically students who only recently passed their OWLS, but the influence of harry had affected them and they never stopped trying to increase their skill level. According to Harry’s senses, they were both equivalent of someone at level 70 which was not much weaker than Mordo and Wong who Harry’s senses told him would be measured at about level 90 and 100.

Jean knocked out Nightcrawler, Scott, Bobby, and Kitty in quick succession while Rogue took out Mystique, Colossus, and Spyke, and Angel. Wanda used a Impedimenta Spell to slow Pietro enough to knock him out and then used an unlucky hex bolt to take out Domino and Forge. Harry’s girls did not slack in their own training either and were all over 120 in level and even higher in skill.

The Horsemen resisted the Wizard’s stunners but repeated shots seem to have an effect or at least slow them down. Wolverine jumped out to try to cut off Sirius’s arms but ex-auror quickly turned into a dog and latched his teeth into Logan’s arms from behind, holding him down while Amelia fired Stunner after Stunner into the immortal until he stopped moving.

The Sorcerers were destroying Magneto’s metal men and attacking him directly while intercepting the lightning from the sky.

Harry and the Ancient One did not fight, they stayed near Apocalypse, Sinister, and his Marauders to take action in case any of them made a move.

Apocalypse watched on and said, “You are strong. Together. But how shall you fair apart?”

The ship behind Apocalypse created a barrier which extended outwards over the island. Walls formed and moved, pushing the fighters away from each other. Now the island had five sections, each walled off from the others.

The center section had the Ancient One, Harry, Sinister, the Marauders and Apocalypse.

The north section had Neville, Sirius, Mordo, and Wong against Gambit.

The west section had Rogue, Amelia, and Hermione against Storm.

The east section had Wanda alone against Magneto.

And the south section had Jean alone against Xavier.

Harry wasn’t worried.

The Ancient One, who had far more practice at getting the villain to monologue their plan than Harry did, said, “And what do you hope to achieve by all of this?”

Her tone made it seem like she was looking down on his plan which seemed to irk the man. Apocalypse stated, “I created this system five thousand years ago. It has taken this long for the nodes to store up enough energy from the sun to fulfil my dream. Once the stars are in alignment, my system will have enough power to awaken the dormant mutant gene in every human that possesses it. Their potential shall be realized and the world shall be reborn.”

Harry, who had enough genetics knowledge from the various systems he’d stolen from and his own research to be considered an expert, said, “There is too much variance in the population for a single type of energy to have such an effect. At least a quarter of those with an unawakened X-Gene will not survive the forced awakening. Shut it down.”

Apocalypse sneered at this. He said, “The weak shall die. It has always been this way.”

Harry narrowed his eyes at that. What he couldn’t say aloud was that Witches and Wizards, even without the X-Gene would likely be affected by such a wave because of how their bodies react to energy. In all likelihood, every witch and wizard on earth would die.

Harry stepped forward and said, “Then I shall stop you.”

Apocalypse smiled at this. “Stop me? It was you who made this possible. Sinister was tasked with awakening me from my slumber for this event years ago, but neglected his duties as my servant. It was your video which led others to search for me and find me in a mere two days. Were it not for you, I would have missed this date and had to wait for the next alignment.”

The Ancient One calmly stated, “Well, that explains that.” Harry pressed his lips together awkwardly. He knew she was referring to the fact that she had not seen this coming. She could not see any event which was caused by Harry and apparently this qualified.

Harry said, “I’m still going to stop you.”

The Marauders standing at the side started laughing.

Harry had been in disguise when he slaughtered them the last time and none recognized him.

The man with the large bull horns on his head walked over to Harry and said, “You? You’re not a mutant. You’re a nothing. You should bow down before the might of our Master and beg for mercy.”

Another large mutant, one Harry didn’t recognize said, “And as a token of loyalty, you should offer him your little girlfriends. They look tasty.”

Harry took a deep breath and said, “Shut up if you don’t want to die. You’re making me angry. You won’t like me when I’m angry.”

The Marauders looked over at each other and started laughing hysterically. They watched the show Harry put on. Everyone saw the mutant detector prove he wasn’t a mutant. He was just a rich kid with some fancy toys.

Mister Sinister stood at Apocalypse’s side, away from the Marauders but said, “I hope you can keep your sense of humor in the next life child. Try to laugh while you watch what I do to your little girlfriends.”

Harry raised an eyebrow. Apparently he wasn’t intimidating enough. He placed his hand forward and a bright red flame appeared and grew larger and larger.

This surprised the Marauders and it showed Harry did in fact have powers.

While they looked ready to defend themselves, Harry pressed the fire to his mouth and inhaled it with a deep, mighty breath. The flames flew from his palm through his mouth into his lungs. In the next moment, Harry’s body erupted in golden lightning. Those staring him in the eye would see the illusion of a terrifying black dragon behind him.

Before any of the Marauders could react, Harry opened his mouth and released golden lightning charged flames which shot forth like a tidal wave. From a distance it would appear to be moving slowly but to those directly in front of it they felt it pass over them before they could even move.

The golden lightning flames raked a swath of land in front of Harry and once it petered out there was nothing remaining. Of the group in the center of the island, Only Apocalypse and Sinister remained.

Harry looked over at Sinister and with the remnant of golden flames leaving his mouth he asked, “You were saying?”

Harry could tell the other battles were going as well as they could be. Jean’s body was wreathed in phoenix flames as she fought against the dark aura clad Xavier. Their battle field was a constant eruption of multicolored explosions of psychedelic red and purple lights.

Wanda seemed to be trying to transfigure the metal soldiers Magento conjured into stone but Magneto countered this by just making some shields. The spells hit the metal shields and turned the metal shields into stone, but they were still shields. This forced Wanda to have to use multiple spells for each soldier and Magneto wasn’t running out of them.

The group against Gambit had the most people but they were also the most troubled. Remy’s mutant power allowed him to convert Potential Energy into Kinetic Energy and Amplify Kinetic Energy. He could turn anything he touched into a bomb and strengthen the effect of any impact he created. Now, he also seemed to be able to convert kinetic energy into potential energy, Because of this, he could negate any physical attack against him. He also seems to be able to fly by controlling his own kinetic energy.

Harry was thankful Neville was a part of that group. From what Harry could tell, the wizard had apparently brought along a large amount of seeds and had transfigured them along with the soil into vines. Gambit’s power couldn’t blow up the vines that Neville commanded to attack and bind the Cajun Mutant. Sorcerers and Wizards were also good at binding so although they couldn’t brute force their way to victory, they could still win with some clever moves.

Storm’s area seemed devoid of life. The wind she flung around drained the very life from the soil and trees. Hermione had cast a Bubble Head Maxima charm over herself and Amelia which protected them from the desolate winds. She also cast Lightning Rod spells at the ground which attracted all the lightning bolts Storm tried to shoot Rogue with. Rogue herself had put on Angel’s wings and was using Bobby’s Ice powers to freeze Storm in the air while occasionally using Scott’s optics to interrupt her while Amelia petted her with stunners and hexes. Storm’s power may have been amplified, but she was still made of flesh.

Harry was just glad Scott himself was not controlled. Harry easily figured out that those disks looked for the targets with the most energy. Scott should have been a target above Gambit but the watch Harry gave him shut off his connection to his power making him read as weak. The disk amplified the power and if Scott’s power was amplified, he’d probably be able to vaporize everyone in moments. The young man had no idea how powerful he really was because of how much he held himself back.

Harry opened his inventory and Sinister and Apocalypse saw heavily enchanted adamantine armor appear over Harry’s body alongside a vibranium and adamantium sword with an edge magically sharpened to a single atom.

The Ancient One conjured an eldritch long sword and calmly stated, “I’m sure we all have better things to do so why don’t we skip the warm up.”

Harry had to stop himself from smiling. There would be no holding back this time, no with the fate of the world on the line. Plus he was just a little excited to fight alongside his teacher.

Apocalypse stepped forward and said, “You are strong. There is a place for you in my new world.”

Harry said, “You say that as if we would allow you to take it.”

“So be it. You have chosen death.”

*** He continued, “You and the wench shall die.”

The Ancient One raised an eyebrow. Harry took three steps back from her and looked away. This wasn’t going to be pretty.

She dismissed her weapons and calmly walked up to Apocalypse and said, “What did you call me?”

He sneered and said, “A wench-”

The Ancient One raised and hand and slapped Apocalypse. The sound of a sonic boom shattered the airspace as the five thousand year old mutant was sent flying into the air, directing into the sky and towards the moon. A moment later the moon cracked and a massive crater formed on the lunar surface.

The Ancient One dusted off her hands and Sinister collapsed to his knees and his hair fell out in shock.

Harry turned to look over at Chuck Norris and asked, “What do you think?’

Chuck Norris said, “I certainly wouldn’t want to piss her off.

Deadpool put his arms around Chuck Norris and admired the moon’s new crater and said, “You said it.”

*Author’s Note.*

You can consider everything that happened after the *** an Omake. The next chapter will start from there.

I’ve been tempted to do something like that but I knew I’d only be able to fool you guys with that once so I had to save it for something special.

Happy New Years!
