An Alternative Technological Universe
An Alternative Technological Universe
The Earth after the Second World War changed drastically. By now, many of you should know the events after World War II, and how history turned out afterward so I won't ramble on about it. However, what I WILL ramble on about is how this story goes. Technology began to have a high increase after the Second World War and the following Cold Wars. With the new technology being created, economies around the world were affected by the increase in a positive and negative way. By the 1980's when the wars have ended and a time of peace began to settle in, another war was still in effect and it wasn't made public; the only ones who did know were those who lived in the Wizarding World. However, that would end when this Dark Wizard perished. But because the muggle world was focused on technology, the Wizarding World was on a great decline. The only powerhouse of magic was the Europeans, parts of the Soviet Union, and small areas in America. Other Wizarding Worlds such as the one in Asia were fully integrated into the technological-heavy muggle world. By 1997, Earth was half connected to another world. It was known as the internet, or the Cyber World. The only ones whom did not follow with the rest of humanity was the Wizarding World.
Harry James Granger was seventeen years old. His best friend was a girl named Hermione Jean Granger, who was also his sister. They were smart teenagers. Harry came to the Grangers when a policeman was driving down Surrey, when he saw a basket on the step of Number 4 Pivot Drive. Finding it highly suspicious, his "trouble radar" was going off when he discovered a child in the basket suffering from the cold in a thin blanket and a gash on his forehead. By the time he got the child to the hospital, Harry was dying but the doctors and nurses did everything they could to save the child. In the end, they did. But Harry's death and revival destroyed the loose piece of Voldemort's soul. The scar healed completely, and soon Harry was adopted by a nice family. But Harry and Hermione would never know about the Wizarding World whatsoever. When it was 1991, Harry was never invited to Hogwarts, same with his sister. Because, when it was discovered: Harry Potter was a squib. And thus, he was forgotten by their world. Hermione was a plain muggle girl; she was never magical at all.
Harry and Hermione would grow up, living side by side with their NetNavi companions. Harry's Navi was known as ForteZero. Until he was 13, Harry never knew that his Navi was related digitally to the most feared NetNavi of the dark side of the cyber world: Bass. But even with this relevance by his father who worked with the best scientists of the international Science Labs Corp., Harry and ForteZero's bond only grew stronger. Hermione's Navi was a pink female ninja by the name of Marino. She was of the shinobi trait, and was one of the few honest ninjas in the cyber world; she was even respected by the greatest assassin of the night, Shadowman.
But, back to right now...
Harry's unzipped jacket disintegrated into data, as his pants and shirt compacted onto his body. The Navi symbol formed and locked on the center of Harry's chest, transforming the clothes into a black bodysuit with gold and red stripes running down the legs and curving around the torso. The shoes glowed and grew to knee length boots, with an oval shaped blue gem embedding into the blue boots, the knee guards a cross shape. Blue armored gloves strapped themselves over his forearms, with gold and silver sword hilts fusing over the tops, with white black fingered gloves. Triangular shoulder gauntlets formed on his shoulders, followed by a gold ring surrounding the neck, which more data formed around the torso, forming a gray and blue accented armor. ForteZero's battery pack collected, and snapped in place on his back, only it took on a curvier appearance, with two green gems lining the undersides. Ankles and wrists were surrounded by double-studded gold rings, green accents lining the armor of the arms and legs. His emerald eyes snapped opened as his glasses were swept away in a wave of data. Harry's hair compacted as data formed a circular helmet, which sprouted four snake-like fins from either side. A four pointed crystal cross formed on the center of the helmet, the inner-fins cerulean, with gold accents lining the helmet, and a clear visor formed before his eyes, heightening his vision. He spun around, clenching his fist and brought this left foot back, taking up his finishing pose.
Hermione's vest disintegrated into data, along with her skirt and the shoes. Her body below the neck was bathed in a white light, the pants and shirt fusing into the light which melted away revealing a black bodysuit that fit her frame. Her Navi symbol formed over the chest and snapped in place forming a pink bodysuit styled as a one-piece bikini with black sleeves and legs, with data forming two spherical shoulder pads embedded with a medium sized green orb. Pink armored boots formed over her legs, with gold orbs in the heels. Green oval gems inserted into gold armor acted as knee guards. The gloves and armor protecting her forearms were similar, the gloves pure white. A large white stripe ran down the gold neck brace to the crotch, where four Galleon coins pinned over her left breast. An armored belt snapped around her waist, equipped with beam saber handles. Her hair shifted and curled upward at the ends, defying gravity somewhat as the locks of hair jutting from the front changed to light green. A pink open helmet surrounded her head, with a white forehead guard, and gold accents lining the sides. A light blue visor slid down from the head guard before her eyes. She grabbed her beam sabers and deployed short blades, spun and somersaulted in the air, before striking up the final pose.
R ForteZero and R Marino stood there, having used their Perfected Synchro Chips to fuse with their NetNais. Harry and Hermione were in high school, yes, but they also worked with the Net Saviors of Europe. They were with two other teenagers from Japan's Net Savior district, whom had fused with their Navis as well to form R Megaman and R Protoman. The last Net Savior, from Russia, completed the cross-fused Saviors, as the young man forms R Searchman. The wave of viruses was paramount: Mettaurs, Fluffies, sheep viruses, and even the occasional Uranet Navi causing trouble. But, it was short work for the group until a new figure stepped forward. He was a sinister half-virus half-Navi who went by the name Shadow. Downtown London was in ruins from the virus attack. People have been evacuated by the military, while deploying cyber-incorporated weapons to delete the real-world viruses. Three years ago, Shadow came into existence after the death of the Darkloid known as Shademan. But, it appeared that, three years later, the attack on London would pinpoint to its origin of the attack; someone who everybody thought was dead.
"Shadow," R ForteZero yells, "you are supposed to be dead!"
"Harry Potter... ha! Unfortunately, you and your Net Savior buddies will never take me out permanently. If Bass couldn't kill me three years ago, what makes you think you could?"
"He's worse than Shademan, really," R Megaman said.
"I know... he's a real plague upon the Cyber World," R Marino agreed with the Japanese teen.
Shadow chuckled, as he lowers his cannon and immediately fires. R Protoman however had deployed a giant Met Shield that shielded them from the attack. When the helmet lifted, they sprung into action. Shadow cackles, generating from his powers of dark matter more viruses while he himself jumped away.
"Harry! Hermione! Go after him, quickly!" R Protoman yelled, slicing his Proto Sword through a Nightmare virus.
"Right!"
The two teenagers cut through the viruses that blocked their way and gave chase.
"I'll give them cover-fire," R Searchman told the two before fighting his way through to follow from a distance on the rooftops.
With Shadow, he smiled as the two teens were being led right into his trap. Soon he stopped when he came to a park in London, and R ForteZero and R Marino landed to face him off. Closing up behind not known to them was R Searchman.
"Hahahaha... you fell into my trap perfectly!"
With a cackle, a brilliant flash erupted, and a walled shield of energy sprung up. R Searchman from his position would scowl as he was cut-off from giving hidden sniper fire.
"Shit," R ForteZero growled.
Shadow grinned, before letting out a loud growl. A fierce roar erupts from his throat as he began to burst into data. The bands of corrupted data wrapped around the viral being with black energy orbs being absorbed into him. The data transformed, warping him from human, into something more devious. The form was that of a dragon. It was a vicious and evil dragon, with mainly colors of goldenrod and black, with glowing yellow eyes, red horns and claws. The wings spread out, sharp and wicked. The thin skin of the wings seems to even glow the same bluish green as his once-sword mounted arm weapon.
The dragon form of Shadow expels black fire from its mouth, and the two teenagers barely were able to defend with Met Shields deployed form their internal memory banks.
"DIE!" The draconic Shadow bellowed.
"Laika! I'm detecting invisible cyber data. I believe it's what's keeping us from giving them back-up."
"Show me now Searchman. They need our help!"
Searchman pinpointed the source, and R Searchman leveled his Search Gun into position. Pulling the trigger soon after, the shot zips through the sky. An explosion erupted as a Mettaur that was flying through propellers was deleted. The energy walls disintegrate like glass shattered by a thrown rock. Taking no hesitation, R Searchman immediately took aim and fired another sniper shot, which clipped the wing of Shadow. With a pained roar leaving the dragon's throat, R ForteZero and R Marino unleashed their strongest Battlechips. The ice and fire attacks washed over Shadow, but with a wave of its uninjured wing blasted the rest of the attack away.
It was at this moment they heard cracks split the air, and a group of robed people emerged. Shadow snarled.
"Die you humans!"
He expelled a blast of black fire. The Net Saviors leapt into action to save the people who suddenly appeared (they were going to find out how they did that after the fight) but one of them waved a stick and the flames strained to break through the light that formed a shield. R ForteZero jumped in just as the shield broke, and his last Mettaur Shield Battlechip was used to protect the robed humans.
"Hermione! Now!"
R Marino summons her five Navi Chip data, forming Flashman, Beastman, Flameman, Freezeman, and finally Shadowman. The summoned Navis unleashed their main attacks, followed by R Marino releasing her stored Cherry Blossom Blizzard attack. R ForteZero leapt past the shield when it lifted and attacked with a shout of Earth Breaker. R Protoman and R Megaman were finally able to join their European friends with R Searchman dropping a Search Satellite on Shadow's head. The duo attacked with a Double Hero strike. The dragon roared, as then a black explosion ruptures, sending them all back from the shockwave that sent cars flying, and toppled the buildings in a half mile radius.
Shadow was hanging on. However, his dragon form overloaded which forced him back to his humanoid form. "Bastards! You'll never stop me! I'll cover this planet with dark matter and suffocate the planet to death!" With a scream, a red bolt of lightning struck him, and seemingly teleport him away to places unknown.
"Ahh shit... what the hell hit me?" R ForteZero groaned, as he pushed a ruined bench off him.
"Harry, are you okay?"
"Yeah... I'll be fine, Hermione," R ForteZero said.
"Harry, what do you think Shadow meant by suffocating the Earth with dark matter?"
"Have no clue, ForteZero... but dark matter is what helped revive Shademan a year ago..."
The Net Saviors regrouped, as Net Officials and the European Military began to spread out to put out any burning fires and repair from the damages dealt by the attack that happened today.
Defusing, the teenagers and one young adult slot their PETs away.
"Oh crap! What about those people that showed up?"
"People that showed up?" Chaud questioned Hermione.
Harry ran over to where he last saw the group of robed individuals that suddenly appeared.
He found one person. She had pink hair and was next to a grizzled man with a wooden leg and a strange swirling electric blue eye.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Harry was going to find out how these people seemed to pop up, as if they used a Panel Out to warp.
Laika was calling for medical assistance to Famous who was in the city that month, while Harry and Hermione tended to the group of adults that appeared in the middle of the fight and nearly got themselves killed.
Tonks opened her eyes, and gasped when she saw the faded scar on his forehead, and green eyes.
"It's you!"
Harry blinked, confused, just as medicals drove into the area. Famous stepped out as medical personnel went to help the injured.
"Do I know you?" Harry asked, confused as to why this woman looked at him as if she knew him.
Little did Harry know, was that his day would get much stranger...
