A New Age
Harry found himself inside of a graveyard. He groaned as he knew Wonder Girl was right. However, Harry did not regret it as he had saved others from touching the trophy. Harry was cut from his thought by the ‘Reducto’ spell which broke his armor. There stood Wormtail with a hideous looking baby in his arms.
"Bone of the father, unknowingly given, you will renew your son”, Wormtail said as he put a bone in a cauldron.
“Flesh of the servant, willingly sacrificed, you will revive your master”, Wormtail cut his right arm, putting the arm into the same cauldron.
“Blood of the enemy, forcibly taken, you will resurrect your foe”, Wormtail said again as he cut Harry with a knife and put Harry’s blood into the cauldron. A dark mist began to take form of the very dark lord himself, Voldemort. Voldemort touched Wormtail’s uninjured left arm and touched the dark mark. The death eaters suddenly came to the graveyard at once. Harry saw Voldemort and his followers talking from a distance, until the dark lord himself came to him.
“The boy who lived. How lies have fed your legend, Harry! Do you want to know what really happened thirteen years ago?”, Voldemort smirked at Harry, who had already known the truth.
“I already know the truth. It was not me who defeated you. It was a Goddess”, Harry spat angrily.
“I could not even touch you thanks to that wretch... But no matter, the goddess is no longer here! I can touch you and destroy you now!”, Voldemort yelled as he tried to touch Harry, who had smiled, to the dark lord’s surprise, looking at the sky.
“I don’t think so, Voldemort!”, Wonder Girl said as she landed on the graveyard, followed by another voice.
“And this time, the goddess is not alone”, Harry heard the voice as he saw a Green Lantern accompanying Wonder Girl. Voldemort growled as he ordered.
“Kill the spares!”, Wormtail heard the order and said ‘Avada Kedavra’ as he pointed at the green lantern. However, the lantern summoned a portal in front of him which absorbed the killing curse. Before Wormtail could realize, another portal opened behind him. Wormtail’s killing curse came from the portal behind Wormtail and hit the traitor, killing Wormtail.
“We have no patience for traitors”, Cassie said sternly as the duo saw Wormtail fall on the ground, dead. Most of the death eaters gasped in fear at the display of superiority. However, Voldemort refused to accept it.
“Kill them!”, Voldemort yelled as Bellatrix and Dolohov took their fighting stance. Bellatrix fired her killing curse once again, only to have it reflected to her back by green portals the same way as Wormtail. Bellatrix managed to dodge her own spell as she saw Dolohov dealing with the lantern. The Lestranges assisted Dolohov by firing Crucio at the lantern, which was dodged with no effort at all. Dolohov’s purple flame spell was countered by the lasso of truth the lantern was using. Bellatrix decided to hit the lantern with Cruciatus curse. However, the lantern summoned a shield dome around himself and guarded himself from all the attack with ease.
The Lantern looked at Cassie reflecting the killing curse from the dark lord with her bracelets with ease. The death eaters kept blasting the energy shield with destructive curses, which had no effect at all. They did not realize the lantern was never using all his powers. The lantern surrounded Cassie in a energy aura and teleported her inside his dome shield. The lantern summoned an energy shockwave made of solid light, blowing the death eaters away. The lantern then summoned a solid lightning on the ground, electrocuting the death eaters from their feet via solid light energy. Voldemort realized he was the only one standing, as all of his servants had been taken down with ease. By the time, Harry had managed to repair his armor by saying ‘Reparo’. The dark lord tried to blast Wonder Girl with the killing curse, but he could not even finish the spell as Wonder Girl created shockwave with her bracelets, sending the dark lord up in the air.
“Is this egghead still bothering you?”, Green Guardian said as he punched Voldemort from above. Voldemort dropped on the ground from the super strength. The lantern landed on Voldemort, and punched the pathetic excuse of a dark lord again in the chest. The lantern used solid vision to blast Voldemort with his eyes in the stomach. However, the power ring had detected another hostile threat, gathering at Hogwarts.
“Cassie! We have no time to waste on these fools! We have to head back to the school”, the lantern ordered, as he opened a portal back to Hogwarts. Harry and Cassie nodded as they went into the portal, before the green guardian sent them somewhere away by dropping them, except for the two of them which said, ‘not hostile’. The two death eaters sighed in relief.
“That was very close, Severus... I thought I was going to die”, Lucius sighed.
“It was fortunate that they had let us go. We now know the dark lord can never win”, Snape said.
“We cannot serve the dark lord anymore. We already know he will lose again like this time. We won’t be lucky the next time if we are still death eaters. I will defect”, Lucius replied as he looked at the dead body of Wormtail.

Meanwhile, Hogwarts was facing their impending doom as everyone saw armed soldiers aiming their guns at them. The teachers and the order stood in front of the students to defend them.
“Piertotum Locomotor!”, McGonagall said as she cast the charm in the entire area. The statues and armors inside and outside of the castle started moving and fighting the Witch Exterminators. This allowed Molly to fire Petrificus Tatalus to petrify the soldiers, allowing Bill and Percy to fire Reducto to shatter the petrified soldiers. Fred and George threw smoke screen and potable swamp at the soldiers. Some soldiers were blinded by the smoke screen, while the some were trapped in the swamp. Arthur and Charlie said ‘Accio Guns’ to steal the guns from the soldiers disabled by Fred and George, before taking the guns and firing at the soldiers. Flitwick used his low height to his advantage and fired Bombarda on the soldier’s grenades, making them explode. McGonagall sighed as her area had been taken care of.
“I wanted to use that spell at least once”, McGonagall said as she casted shielding charm on Hagrid and Maxime, who smashed through the soldiers. The other Gryffindors, Lee Jordan, Oliver Wood casted shielding charm in front of them to shield other students from gunfires. Other teachers joined their effort as Sprout pulled out Mandrake to stun the soldiers with the plants’ scream, allowing Trelawney to throw crystal balls at the soldier’s heads. The champions joined the fight as well, using the spell they saw Harry use in the maze. The champions turned the soldiers into explosives and used the explosives to blow more of them up.
The Slytherins did their best by holding their ground with shielding charms, assisted by Regulus, Narcissa, Dobby, and Kreacher, until Snape and Lucius made it back to Hogwarts. Lucius used Bombarda to distract the soldiers, before Snape killed them with the killing curse. McGonagall’s group arrived in time to help the Slytherins. The smoke screen and the portable swamp by the twins did distract the soldiers, giving Snape enough time to kill them with Avada Kedavra. Lucius assisted Snape by firing Crucio at the soldiers Snape missed.
The order and the rest of the students separated themselves in four factors. The one fired Glacius at the soldiers, freezing them, while the another shattered the frozen soldiers with Diffindo. Some used Expelliarmus to disarm the soldiers, while the other guarded the soldiers with Protego. However, Dumbledore knew it would wear them all out eventually. He had one spell that could turn the table on the invaders.
“Everyone! Come to me!”, Dumbledore yelled at the Wizardkind. Wizards and Witches came to Dumbledore as he unleashed a magic his once old friend and foe had used in Paris in the past.
“Protego Diabolica!”, Dumbledore yelled. The circle of blue flame started to extend itself, burning only invaders. The walking soldiers who dared to walk toward the students and the defenders had been burned to death. The fire got to Hogwartc castle as well, burning the invaders inside. By the time, Harry’s group had managed to make their way back to Hogwarts. Harry landed inside the blue flame.
“It’s good to have you back, Harry, Ms Sandsmark”, McGonagall greeted the three warriors.
“We have a good news and a bad news. We could not prevent Voldemort’s return, but we managed to beat him up and banish him somewhere else”, Harry said. However, the conversation was broken when they spotted Tanks on the bridge. The tanks fired missiles at the circle of blue flame. They deemed it was the end for them, until they saw a pair of blades surrounded by the green aura slice the missiles into pieces. Harry stood before his friends.
“I’m sorry I was late... but I have something I can use to beat them. I need as many of you as possible to fight with me”, Harry said.
“Harry, you mean we get to be the part of the metal dragon?! I’m in!”, Ron said as others nodded. Harry smiled at his dedicating friends as he raised his wand in the air.
“Drago Tempesortia!”, Harry said as he and his friends turned into Dragonstorm once again. Harry formed the middle head as Ron and Hermione formed the other two heads. Dragonstorm flew toward the bridge and breathed fire from the three heads. The bridge was obliterated by the fire breathing metal dragon as the tanks on the bridge fell to their doom. Wonder Girl and Green Guardian saw Airplanes coming at them and flew toward the horde. Wonder Girl punched a hole in one of the airplane’s wing and grabbed it, before throwing the airplane at another one. Green Guardian obliterated the airplane coming at him by unleashing solid cry and solid vision at the same time.
Enid Petrigrew growled as her plan to conquer the Wizard Britain with the power of Muggle Crime Organization had approached its failure. Dragonstorm saw Enid and breathed fire at the evil witch. Enid managed to protect herself with Protego charm. Enid then carried the rubbles of airplanes and tanks by using Wingardium Leviosa and threw them at Dragonstorm’s middle head, kncking the head away. Harry within the combined mind realized he needed to break Enid’s shielding charm. Harry alone separated from Dragonstorm, as the middle head of the dragon dissolved and formed Harry. Harry unleashed all of his rage at Enid, for invading his world and trying to kill his loved ones.
“Crucio!”, Harry yelled as he unleashed the Unforgivable curse at Enid, breaking her shield charm. The rest of the Dragonstorm did not miss the chance and burned Enid down to ash from the other two heads. Harry formed the middle head again as he found Enid burned to a crisp. The Dragonstorm returned to Hogwarts castle, where they had been greeted by everyone else as they reverted back from Dragonstorm.

The next day, Harry was chatting with his friends at the Gryffindor table. Harry saw his owl, Hedwig, come back from her journey to deliver letter to Wonder Woman. The next moment, Harry was greeted by a portal opening in front of them. From the portal emerged Thor and Wonder Woman, to Hermione’s delight.
“Wonder Woman! I’m Hermione Granger! I’ve been your fan ever since I read about you!”, Hermione ran toward Wonder Woman to get a handshake. Wonder Woman looked at the Gryffindor with kind eyes and took her hand. Ron saw the scene with jealousy, only to be noticed by Thor.
“You look jealous at the Granger girl shaking hand with my friend. I am Thor Odinson. We are here to see Harry James Potter”, Thor said. Harry noticed he was called and approached Thor.
“We have read your letter, Harry. My friend Captain America is building an alliance to protect the world from those like Voldemort you speak of, and I would like you to join the alliance as a representative of Wizardkind. Diana told me she defeated the egghead with ease. There is nothing to fear about his name”, Thor said. Hermione was telling Wonder Woman that the Gryffindor fancied about the heroine, but Wonder Woman had a slight sadness in her voice.
“Diana? It’s been a while...”, McGonagall said as the professor approached her friend and savior. However, the professor could see the sadness in Wonder Woman’s eyes.
“You are Thor, I presume. Could you tell me what happened to Diana? I can sense some sadness within her”, McGonagall asked Thor.
“I am sorry to say that... Her dear friend and her beloved, Batman, had been slain”, Thor answered. Wonder Girl and Green Guardian gasped as they heard about the demise of the detective. The insurgent duo rushed toward Thor. They needed to know who had killed Batman.
“Who killed Batman?! Please! We need to know if we too are going to join your alliance!”, Cassie said. Thor pulled out a newspaper and gave it to them. The newspaper had the photo of Kara Zor-El of Cassie’s world, much to their horror and despair. The duo could not say a single word as they looked at the photo of their Kara held in a red sun prison. Wonder Woman sighed as she was reminded of the pain of loss, but she had something to tell Harry.
“Harry James Potter... I need to thank you for reminding I can still be a savior... I had been a wreck ever since Batman was killed... but your letter made me remember I can still save the world... Thank you...”, Wonder Woman said. Harry did not expect to be thanked instead, but he knew he had to thank the Amazon properly.
“I only did what I had to... It is I who need to thank you for saving my family and many others from Voldemort... This world owes great debt to you. I desire to repay the debt by joining your alliance”, Harry replied. Thor smiled at Harry as he placed his hand in front of Harry. Harry smiled at the Asgardian and shook hands with Thor. When Thor parted from Harry, other heroes came from the portal.
“We appreciate your service, Harry. As for our gratitude, we have brought you several allies of ours”, Thor said. Harry and his friends looked in awe at many magical heroes coming to Hogwarts.
“The Sorcerer Supreme’s assistant, Wong. Johnny Blaze, the Ghost Rider. John Constantine, the hellblazer. Alec Holland, Swamp Thing. Jason Blood, Etrigan the demon. Boston Brand, Deadman. Colleen Villard, Black Orchid, and Albert Simmons, the Spawn. Harry, You will join a league with these heroes. The league’s name will be Justice League Dark”, Thor said as Harry smiled. Colin was taking photos as Harry stood with the superheroes. Hermione encouraged Colin to take as much photos as possible because she wanted the photos of Harry with the superheroes. However, Ghost Rider suddenly grabbed Moody and said.
“You, Guilty! You are a shapeshifter and I see through your lies! Your soul is stained by the blood of innocents, feel their pain!”, Ghost Rider said as he unleashed his penance stare on Moody. Bartemius Crouch Junior began to reveal himself as he suffered from the immense pain of the penance stare. Igor Karkaroff watched in horror as Bartemius died from the penance stare. Karkaroff tried to run away, but Swamp Thing’s branch entangled him. After Ghost Rider was done with Bartemius, he did the same to Karkaroff, making the coward headmaster of Durmstrang suffer his punishment. After the Ghost Rider was done, McGonagall brought the real Moody to the scene, who managed to open his eyes. Moody was confused to see many superheroes he had never seen before.
“What are they, Albus?”, Moody asked weakly.
“They are our new hope and a sign for a new age, the age of heroes. They are Justice League Dark”, Dumbledore replied as the League of Dark stood in front of the auror.

Voldemort and his death eaters were dropped on an abandoned city surrounded with a wall. They sighed as the threat of Wonder Girl and the Green Guardian had banished from them. However, their peace did not last as one of them were grabbed by a giant humanoid which was at least 10 meters tall.
“Noooo! Please Save me my lord!”, the death eater cried as the 10 meter class titan ate him. The dark lord and his minions fired the killing curse, which did not work at all. They had no choice but to run as the titan horde came to them, eating the death eaters one by one. However, the danger suddenly ended when a green blast burned the titan horde down. There stood Quan Chi, the lord of the Netherrealm.
“Hello, Tom Marvolo Riddle. You are a pathetic excuse of a dark lord which doesn’t even compare to my lord Shinnok. Serve me and my master, and I will let you run from this titan horde... I will even help you kill the so called Harry Potter and the Amazon who ended you... I had eyes on you since I couldn’t turn you into a revenant”, Quan Chi said.
“Our Lord serves no one! You do not degrade...”, Bellatrix was tortured by the green energy Quan Chi used on her. The strongest witch of the death eaters could do nothing against Quan Chi. Voldemort thought for a moment. He knew he could not beat the heroes alone, but if he allied with Quan Chi, maybe he had a chance.
“Quan Chi... I will ally with you... if you are truly going to help me kill the wretched heroes... now get Bella out of that cursed flame!”, Voldemort hissed as he accepted the offer. Quan Chi released Bellatrix as he smirked.
“Make no mistake, Tom Riddle... if you betray us, I shall turn you all into dust then revenants to serve lord Shinnok”, Quan Chi said as he led Voldemort and his minions to the Netherrealm, where revenant Bartemius and revenant Wormtail had been waiting.

The insurgent duo of Wonder Girl and Green Guardian sat in a far away place from the students and teachers, even from the heroes. They could not believe Powergirl had turned evil enough to kill her former friend whom she wanted to help in the first place. The newspaper said her name was now Galatea, not a name Kara used for herself.
“I cannot believe this is happening... Why is Kara the one who always suffer and gets manipulated?”, Cassie murmured.
“I should had tried finding her as soon as possible... then I could had saved her... The ring only showed me Supergirl of this universe, not yours...”, Armin sighed as he lowered his head in shame.
“Maybe she was too broken... just like me... There is no way Kara would turn evil by herself... someone has to be manipulating her... using her hatred against her cousin and my sister... Kara lost everything because of them...”, Cassie said.
“Seeing Kara fight for what’s right gave me hope even when I almost let fear for the regime consume myself... I promise us all that we will SAVE Kara from the evil which is consuming her... and when we find the ones responsible for her decent into madness... They will PAY with their LIVES”, Armin replied as he clenched his fists. Cassie did the same as the insurgents’ eyes burned with hatred against the ones who turned Powergirl evil, swearing vengeance.
