Harry Potter meets the King of the Monsters By: DJ Rodriguez   (Author’s Notes: Sorry for the really immense delay, ladies and gentlemen. But, other things caught up with me and I got a bit busy. Well, better late then never!   Darien: Also, Godzilla will be neutral. He will not be good or evil; rather he will be a key to the defeat of Voldemort! All will be revealed in time. We do have a bit of a problem here.   DJ: I need some help in deciding on Lily Evans-Potter legacy, something just as grand as her husband’s legacy. DJ wants to break the stereotypical on how only James Potter’s legacy/family is mentioned and not Lily or her side of the family. Any ideas?   Now, on with the fanfic!)  

Chapter 4

  The plane lurched and jolted around for a few minutes, causing Harry Potter to wake up from his nap. It also woke up a certain girl who loved to change her hair color every now and then. The teens stared out the window and saw a large red tower that would rival that of the one in Paris, France. ‘Hey, it’s the Tokyo Tower! That must mean we’re here!’ each of them thought as excitement coursed through their systems. They knew about the object due from reading a pamphlet about Tokyo, since it was one of few reading materials that was on the plane. The flight lasted for more then twelve hours, so they had some time to kill.   They had to wait until the plane came to a complete stop, one of the stewardesses announcing to all that it was okay to release seat belts. Shortly, the plane connected with the designated terminal and the people started to file out slowly. Harry was among the first to get off, followed behind Tonks. As the young man walked, he felt the familiar presence of someone from back home close behind. ‘Is someone from Dumbledore’s turkey club tailing me? Of course not! I mean, they’re all back in Europe. Besides, I told no one else of my trip so its probably just paranoia.’ he thought.   Tonks was a bit too busy to pay attention to her instincts, as she was excited about being in the “Land of the Rising Sun”. She said to herself in delight “This is so cool! I’m going to try out all the food and electronic games that they have here!” Despite being in the magical world, she still went to her muggle roots and come to appreciate some of the finer things that the non-magical folks created. Video games and arcades were a major joy for her, finding the games more fascinating then most magic. She went down with the rest of the passengers to the terminal to get her things.   As the two were looking for their luggage that was supposed to be coming out on a conveyor belt, they did not notice two beings hiding in the shadows nearby. They were dressed in black entirely and seemed to be able to keep their identities secret from the crowds. They were males, looking at a certain individual with a lighting bolt scar on his head. “Interesting… I feel a great deal of power from that young man there. It is raw and unrefined, but large nevertheless.” one of them spoke out. His partner added “Indeed. And that lighting bolt across his head… he must be a special magic being to have that. Come, we must inform our superiors.” In a blurring of sight and the swift breeze of wind, they vanished without a trace.   ~In Kyoto~   Fleur Delacour was gracefully leaving the airport, very glad to be on solid ground. ‘All those males coming on to me… ugh! And for twelve hours too!’ she complained as she stretched a little to get the kinks out of her being. However, it did cause many of the male passbyers to stare at her and the females to wack them upside the head for good measure. Fleur was slightly surprised at the action, not once seeing that kind of response in her country. Shrugging it off, the quarter-veela went down to the terminal to get her luggage. As she walked to her destination, she passed by a shop that had mannequins of women dressed in white facial make-up and wearing elaborate and beautiful dresses.   She stopped for a moment to admire the clothing and also the dummies that wore them. “Oh, such wonderful clothing!” she exclaimed as she examined the expensive silk dresses. A Japanese female teenager in a high-school fuku who was passing along saw the blonde looking at the kimonos in awe and decided to enlighten the foreigner on what she was checking out. “Excuse me. I couldn’t help but notice that you have an interest in the geikos.” she said to Fleur. The blonde turned and looked at the Japanese teen. Thankfully for the French girl, she cast on herself a Translation charm shortly after arriving and it helped her to understand the Japanese language.   “Geikos?” Fleur inquired. The teenager explained that the dummies she was looking at were what many have come to know as ‘geishas’, traditional Japanese women entertainers, and that the dresses she was admiring were furisodes. The term ‘geikos’ was a dialect used mainly by Kyoto citizens. Fleur was quite taken with the styles of these geishas and asked if there was anyway to learn more about them. “There should be a school or institution around the city that helps women practice the art of becoming a geiko. It’s a way from here, however.” the schoolgirl answered. Fleur thanked her for the information and help, waving goodbye to her new acquaintance as she went to pick up her luggage.   ‘Geishas… I think I should learn how more about this tradition.’ Fleur thought as she descended down to the baggage line.   ~In Sapporo~   A passenger boat docked off at Sapporo Harbor, its passengers getting off the ship in a slow manner. Among them were Narcissa and Bellatrix Black. They were getting off with their glamour charms removed, seeing that their faces and names were not even known in this part of the world. “Wow! I have been in some muggle towns in London, but this place beats them all!” Bellatrix exclaimed in her native tongue. Narcissa had to agree. Seeing the large and populated area of Sapporo, and its vast resources of technology, it really took the pureblood’s breath away. ‘I’ve been cooped up for so long… its finally good to be free to see places like this!’ the former Malfoy thought.   Luggage in tow, the two former Death Eaters took off to see what they could find in the large and seemingly prosperous city. The large buildings, the sights and sounds, the people, and also the fashion caught the women’s attention. Bellatrix pointed to a very extravagant hotel and exclaimed “Cissy, look! Let’s spend our little vacation in there!” The older woman had to chuckle a little, seeing her sister act a little like a child. ‘Can’t blame her though. After years under that infernal potion, and cooped up in England for a long time, she’s now experiencing new things so its to be expected.’ she thought.   Narcissa reached into her purse to take out some Galleons, but she suddenly remembered that England’s magical currency was not yet taken into account at the Japanese currency level. “Bella, wait a moment! Before we do anything with our money, we need to exchange it first with the currency here in Japan.” she informed her sister. Bella stopped her movement and knew what Narcissa meant; to exchange their magical European currency with both the muggle and magical currency of Japan. “Well, come on. We need to find a ‘special’ department then!” Bella exclaimed. After seeing the city, she was eager to go and try out all of the wonderful things it had to offer.   As they left to find a magical section of the city in order to do their business, they failed to sense the presence of two female beings up on the rooftops. They were covered in white garbs, skintight of course. “I recognize those two. They are feared people in their own homeland, ‘Death Eaters’ is the term for the wand-users in Europe.” one of them spoke out. Her partner nodded and added in “Yes, but they seem… out of character. I sense no maliciousness or ill intent in their stance or auras, but rather… a sense of freedom, like they regained something lost.” Regardless, the two believed that this should be reported to their leaders. They vanished without a trace.   ~In England~   It was not a good afternoon for the Order of the Phoenix, nor for the Death Eaters. Dumbledore was not able to find Harry, his detection and monitoring devices all disabled. He realized that after Harry’s emancipation and acts of bearing both the Black and Potter family rings, the sheer amount of magical energy wiped away any and all magical traces that was put on him. He gravely announced his failure at a meeting, which caused quite an uproar. However, more trouble came in the form of Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood. The two had confronted Headmaster of Hogwarts at said meeting, inquiring why he was so desperate to obtain Harry.   Obviously, McGonagall and Mrs. Weasley immediately came to the defense of the Headmaster, saying that it was not their concern. Fortunately, the two had grown some backbone along with some subtly. Luna firmly stated that as Harry’s friends, they were concerned with his well being and thus wanted to know why Dumbledore was so interested in Harry now. Hermione and Ron intervened, fiercely stating that they were Harry’s friends and were concerned too, but put their faith in Dumbledore. Neville shot them with an emotional arrow as he put in that if they were indeed his “friends”, why did they not inform Harry about their involvement with the Headmaster and also readily accepting the Auror training.   Ron and Hermione were rendered speechless, and the rest of the Order was surprised at the brass and upfrontness of the two. Neville and Luna left the room, saying that Harry was not someone to look after like a child and also to look into why Dumbledore was so interested in Harry’s location. The old Headmaster was now weary of the children, wondering if they were suspicious of his plans. Snape was able to salvage a bit of the Order’s dignity , reporting that Voldemort’s forces and financial resources were plummeting.   According to the spy, Voldemort was incensed when he learned of Bellatrix’s escape. The woman was a large part in instilling fear and strength in her forces whenever they were deployed, and now with her gone the troops were missing half of their power and motivation. Not only that, it was reported by Lucius that his wife was gone as well and his bank vault was close to empty. Draco could not gain the Black Family inheritance because he was not in the will and also that an heir was already proclaimed. The Dark Lord’s financial assets were rapidly dwindling due to his campaigns of terror, and this was a serious blow to his power.   This was big news to the Order, but Dumbledore still insisted that it was paramount to look for Harry and bring him back to England. Moody inquired why Harry was so important while Voldemort was now weakened, both in strength and money issues, but the aged wizard said that it was highly classified. The old but experienced Auror knew why Luna and Neville were wary of the Headmaster, and decided to follow up on their hunch. With nothing left to discuss, the Order was broken up and the members returning home.   Currently, the Weasley’s (Ron and Ginny) and Hermione were coming downstairs and into the living room. They found Neville and Luna lounging about, sitting in the plush chairs and reading some books. “Come on you two, we have practice with Kingsley and Remus right now!” Ron stated. Luna and Neville looked up from their books, giving the trio a once over with their eyes, and gazed right back down to their reading material. “Sorry Ron, can’t right now. I’m busy.” Neville replied sarcastically.   Hermione and Ginny were just downright confused and annoyed at their friend’s too-casual attitude. “Neville, what is up with you?! You and Luna have been acting defiant and such to not only Dumbledore, but to the Aurors too!” Hermione shrieked. Luna did not take her nose out of the book she was reading, but replied “We’re acting this way because of the Headmaster. He is hiding something and we believe that involves Harry greatly. Since he won’t tell us what or why, we will give him a hard time as we see fit. The Aurors too.” Ron was about to say something snappy, but never had the chance as Neville leveled towards him a hard glare.   “You three just trust the old man too much for your own good. He may be an advanced wizard and has accomplished a lot of good things, but there is something that does not add up here. He wants Harry badly here, but why didn’t he just bring him here instead of going to live with his relatives in the first place? And why is it that he is giving us special training and not Harry?” Neville said evenly and hardly. Ginny and Ron were at a loss for words, but Hermione remained stubborn in her faith and trust in a parental/educational authority.   “And you call yourselves his friends?” Luna inquired harshly towards the bushy-haired bookworm. The blonde put down the book and marched over the Hermione, now up in her face in a way that contrasted to her usual spacey-dreamy look. “Granger, you need to get your head out of the clouds and try to actually see what is going on. You seem to be smart, yet not wise enough to see what has and is taking place. So before you go defending Dumbledore, actually THINK about his actions as of late.” Now that cut into Hermione, and the book-smart witch was now at a loss for words. Neville went to Luna and the both of them left to go upstairs.   As they went upstairs, they passed Remus and Kingsley who were hiding under some Invisibility cloaks. “Those kids are something else, standing up for Harry like that.” Kingsley told his comrade. Remus agreed with him, but couldn’t help but feel that Longbottom and Lovegood had something legitimate against Dumbledore. ‘What if they are right? What if there is something more going on between Harry and the Headmaster?’ the werewolf thought. Before they could say anything else, the two experience fighters dodged out of the way of a Stunner spell. The two “hit the dirt” and looked up to see a smirking Neville and Luna with their wands out.   “Even if we’re stuck in here and hate this whole deal, we might as well practice. Harry would want us to be in top condition when battling those D.E. jackasses.” Neville said. His words were answered when the two Aurors fired off spells of their own, Luna and Neville ducking and dodging while running away. Remus and Kingsley took off, and their noise caused Ron, Ginny, and Hermione to take up in the action.   ~At Riddle Manor~   Voldemort was pissed off, royally at that. “My Death Eaters have lost their will to fight since Lestrange vanished, and now my finances have been compromised!” he growled to himself. This day was just filled with bad news from the get-go. Lucius and Rodolphus had just received word of their divorces from their wives, their vaults were now nearly empty, and to top it off Draco was not able to gain the Black fortune. To make matters worse, Bellatrix and Narcissa have fled and their whereabouts unknown. Voldemort tried to use his Dark Mark to find out were Bella was, but unfortunately it came up empty. Apparently, like Dumbledore’s devices and monitoring system, the Dark Mark could find any of his followers… in Europe’s borders.   “Wormtail, get in here now!” Voldemort hissed. The traitorous pudgy man scurried in, crawling in like the rat he was. “Yes, Milord?” the man whimpered as he kissed the hem of Tom Riddle’s robes. The half-blood sneered at the pathetic excuse for a wizard and inquired harshly on his new project was coming along. “Everything is on schedule, my Lord. The potion and ritual requirements to make your giants and dragons extremely monstrous are proceeding as schedule. Snape is half-way done and only needs to secure six more rare ingredients to make the potion potent enough to work.” Pettigrew reported.   Tom Riddle was pleased with this, if only a little. His plan was to make his armies more larger, more massive. His giants would be exceed their normal average sizes greatly, and the dragons would be able to block out the sun entirely with their large bodies. With such large forces in his hand, he would go unopposed and unstoppable! “Excellent, Wormtail. Make sure that the requirements to prepare our forces is on schedule, and in the meantime go and look for a replacement for Bellatrix.” Tom Riddle ordered. The simpering worm bowed and thanked Voldemort profusely before leaving quickly. ‘Soon, nothing will stand in my way! Not the Ministry, the Order, Dumbledore… or that accursed Harry Potter!’ he thought with an evil sneer on his face.   ~In Japan~   On an island off the coast of Japan, far in the east, something was happening. The island itself was bare and a wasteland due to radioactive tests, no inhabitants whatsoever on it. The amazing thing was that near the middle of the rocky region… a large egg was slowly glowing yellow. Now, this egg was extremely large by anyone’s standards. And right now, something was happening that would trigger an event that would send the worlds rocking big time! Who did the egg belong to? And why was it so important?   (Author’s Notes: Not bad, eh? I have decided that for this story, Harry will train to become a samurai warrior. Bellatrix and Tonks will be taken under the wings of ninjas, Narcissa will become a special type of miko, and Fleur will become a special type of Geisha!   Darien: Godzilla and the rest of the characters will interact with the HP crew, but please give it time. To all out there, we hope you have enjoyed this massive twist of personalities and events here!   DJ: So, what do you think? If given the choice, what would you have the characters be doing and why? Also, should the characters actually take the time to learn the Japanese language without using the Translation charm?   R&R, no flames, enjoy, and leave long reviews!
