Dimension Traveller

Oh I’m a so sorry for this late chapter, I’ve been really badly ill though. Sleeping a lot of the time to rest up mainly. Well I’m back and it seems I’m writing again with a new vigour, *grins* I’m so happy. Well anyhow you don’t want to listen to me ramble to you, first the thank-you list then the story. ^_^ hopefully you’ll find this chapter as amusing as I did.

Oh! The polls at the bottom. Some have ended as the votes got really lopsided, others are still open but soon I will be getting round to closing them. One thing I want to know is what you guys think of LotR/HP crossovers? With the pairing Legolas/Harry? Thanks


Thank-you

Alex – Glad your enjoying the story, hope this chapter lives up to the rest of it (did that make sense?) Thank you for the info on Naga’s it’s helped immensely.

Kurai - ^_^ Yeh Glad your enjoying it too, I never abandon a story, no matter how long it takes to post. Well here you are. Thanks for the info on Naga’s too.

Gravy Baby – Hi Gravy ^_^ Thanks for the info, all is useful in making my own kind of Naga. Enjoy the chapter.

CHAOS92683 – Woo thanks for the pic, Excellent. It’s going to give me great ideas for the future.

Night Fury – Yes you can still vote for pairings (the poll will be up for about two more chapters though) Wow so many ideas ^_^ keep them coming, I’m loving every one of them. Enjoy the chapter

Zetsumi – Yay ever more ideas for the future of my fic, all info on Naga’s is appreciated greatly. Thank you ^_^

Lilyth Celestyn – Lilyth ^_^ yay you found my other HP crossover (you’ve really gotten around now haven’t you?) Thanks for the votes and yes you were right with Hermione, that is the creature inheritance she has. Glad your enjoying it, hopefully you’ll enjoy this one just as much.

im.not.sane:D – Glad your enjoying the story so much ^_^ I try to be different in what I write. Thanks for the votes, every one helps. Enjoy the chapter.

Ofra – thanks for the votes and enjoy the chapter.

shadowkiss – don’t worry about spelling, I could understand who you were talking about (you’re the first to give more characters that you want to see in the story) well thanks for the votes and enjoy the chapter.

Blaque Silque – Hey there… Wow such a long review so I’ll try to at least give as much as I got. Glad your enjoying the story, it is one of my pride and joy pieces next to ‘The Darkened Past’ (plus it’s about two of my most favoured fandom’s too). About that threesome? Don’t be too surprised, quite a few are voting for that pairing and it’s looking for three of them to come close to each other (well have to wait and see that’s all).

Well Dumbledore? That polls finished now, it became that lop sided for Against that I went along with it in the end. Ok I wonder how you knew part of the plot? Except there are a few more characters involved ^_^ Interesting concept you had about Rufus, it’s the same way I think about him too; reason why I gave the choice for him to b e on Harry’s side is that he would want to side on the side with Power. ^.^;

Thanks for the info on Naga’s every bit has been a great help and I’ve got an inkling to who I’m going to make one too. Info for the polls well welcome, all helps. I get what you say about the Black sheep of a dark family and all that, very interesting concept there, you’ve given me all sorts of goodies to mess around with.

Aww I would not smack you, it was your review that gave me the info I needed to get this chapter finished off. So be proud of yourself.

suu – Thanks for the votes, enjoy the chapter.


Chapter 7

-

*Unknown*


(Who are you?)


-I feel your presence-


~Strange~


(Connected as one)


‘I don’t understand’


(Feel…don’t think)


-You don’t know us?-


~This does not seem possible~


(Pain, sorrow, anger, loss…all the same)


‘I…I don’t…I’ve Never…’


(Don’t lie fledgling)


-We can hear your truest thoughts-


~Don’t give up~


(Best not to dwell on it bud)


‘Please tell me who you are!’


(Do not shout. It echo’s)


-Not here to harm, one man did enough-


~Do you mean…?~


(Damn him! Bastard!!!)


‘Bloody hell stop shouting please…I understand, hurts’


(I apologise for this idiot’s thoughtless outburst)


-…-


~Ouch…~


(Whaa! Seph!!!)


‘Oh god…For Christ’s sake stop yelling, my head feels like it’s gonna explode.’


(You are a disappointment Zackary Fair, loosing your temper like a 3rd class)


-Sephiroth?-


~…no…No…NO!~


(Err? Sorry?? What the…SPIKE???)


‘Ugh! I feel woozy. I’m sorry but who are you people?’


(I am Sephiroth, former General of the disassembled Shinra Company.)


-…You are alive once more Sephiroth…-


~Alive…He’ll kill us all. I have to finish him off and find a way to destroy any trace of him~


(Woh! woh! Cloud; Seph is fine, he’s not that madman that burned your home town)


‘I’m lost… What the…’


(You still harbour resentment towards me for the grevious error I made towards your person, with the destruction and burning of Nibelheim, do you not?)


-…Sanity is clear within your words. I can feel you are different from the taint that was your previous incarnation…-


~Zack…? How? Why? You died…~


(Calm down spike. I’m alive and well bud, better than before infact)


‘MY HEAD!’


(What is this malicious aura I sense?)


-…Familiar, far too familiar; Sephiroth has returned, so would…-


~No… Not her too!~


(Oh geeze; I remember you, ya crazy old hag! Trying to tear Spike apart to use him as your own you bitch!!!)


‘OH GOD!’


/Well well, all pawns have finally come together at long last; the final stages are now at hand. Nothing can be done to stop the course of fate, which my little puppet set in motion.\


(You! You are the same as the one who tore apart my mind, reducing me to nothing more than a helpless shell. Then used, to destroy everything until left for dead at the base of the Mako reactor; laughing and screaming with joy at the cries of pain and suffering of the dying. The one only known as Jenova, the harbinger of destruction and destroyer of life.)


-…I will make sure your death is painful. For all the suffering you caused…-


~Jenova…I will make sure that I destroy every last part of you! This time I will get the peace and resolution I have craved with your death!~


(Not her again. First she turned Seph crazy, then makes Spike’s mind her own personal playground and now this…You Damn bitch!)


‘I…I can’t, it’s too much. Not enough power to withstand…GAHH!’


/Don’t try to resist my little Ancient. You let me in, Now You Are Mine!\


(Let him go...!)


-…Leave the boy be Jenova…-


~…Damn you!…~


(Let the kid go ya batty bitch!)


‘“SCREAMS”’


*Between Reality and Dreaming: Mental Plain*


‘MAKE IT STOP PLEASE!!!’ Tears fell down his cheeks in a steady stream of liquid fire, as he convulsed on the seemingly not floor of this strange plain; mouth open in a soundless scream, hands clenched into black strands of hair, whilst black tentacles snaked through and around his incorporate body, shackling his spirit to this unearthly place. A pale white hand, blackened nails gleaming in the white light all around; gripped him under the chin, tilting his face up towards her own, as she dragged his mind into his materialising spirit body, which was hardening all the while.


Thrashing within his bonds, a high pitched wail finally erupted form his reddened throat, bouncing around the not-room; the volume growing louder and louder, as the whole place seemed to vibrate and add to the sound. Shrieking herself, the white hand flinched back, while a head of long blackened hair bowed in agony of the chorusing cry.


~JENOVA!~ Red eyes peered up through strands of hair, drawn towards the shout of one of the other entities and was amused to note that all of them had followed her newest son to this place, and unknowingly her very own domain. One the farthest corner to the left was a male of indefinable age, red tattered cloak covering him whilst a double barrelled gun was held one handed towards her form, the bronze one hanging limply by his side.


Next to him on the right were two near identical males, both held a broadsword weapon double handed in front of them; uniforms were similar yet not, one was black, the other dark purple. Twin heads of blond and black spiked hair were focused upon her as glowing blue and purple eyes glared at the scene she created. Though on one was a mocking smirk, the other held a concentrated frown; but she knew who had sent the shout and so did the purple eyes that flashed with a superior light.


Behind them untouched by the others, with silver strands cascading down his back and a stern tightening of his lips. Along bright green eyes, slitted with contained malice towards the one who had used and tried to tear him apart; black leather fitted snugly upon his form, with a blade as long and deadly as he certainly was. The former general stood firmly, two black wings settled calmly upon his back…


…yes two black wings, having torn his mental being from her clutches; his true self had finally had chance to flourish and the result was the growth of his second wing, a visible sign of his full transformation to his final form, not the monstrosity that the fiend had used in her battle with the defenders of Gaia.


(Let him go.) Though quiet, the threat was clear as a build-up of power gathered in his left hand, while his right tightened on the blades handle, ready to attack at a moment’s weakness to his adversary; in front of him, the blond tensed, though he didn’t turn to the speaker as he knew that the bigger threat was the female across from them.


/I think not. The child gave himself to me, he allowed me in and now he is mine!\ A snort from the purpled eyed male made her tense, as she gave a growl that echoed across the not-space.


(Your nothing more than a waste of space ya freaky space bitch. Leave him alone and why not try taking one of us on instead Jenny?!) A twitch from behind him made him tense; while a chuckle of nervousness escaped from his throat, at the glare the green eyes were directing towards him-self and not the space creature like it should have been.


(Err Seph…?)


(Jenny?…Zackery Fair you are impossible.)


(Sorry Sir. Could not come up with anything witty, spare of the moment insult) Sephiroth shook his head in exasperation as he turned back his glare to the female space invader and focused all his hate, anger, suffering, pain and disgust into one spearing look; though surprising to all, something miraculous happened.


A shift in the ‘air’ around them made everyone pause, subtle glances revealed nothing for the changes were coming from behind them. Behind the group, a long way off, a sharp black cylinder formed, one end moved further and further out until it was pointed deadly in the direction of the female; then with no sound at all, it broke into hundreds of needles, thin as sticks, yet as strong as the hardest material, hundreds upon hundreds hung in the air, then as all the emotions condensed together the needles flew foreword at an incredible rate as though fired by a crossbow but much, much faster.


It was to the surprise of all when the black needles suddenly rained down on the creature before she had any chance to retaliate or attack, they stuck into her body at all angles, miraculously missing kid even though it seemed like many of them should have hit his body; all stared in dumbfounded surprise, none had expected that ending to what had seemed to be a build up to a fight.


(Well that was certainly anticlimactic. Never expected the bitch to go down so quickly) Sephiroth shook his head in response, as the red cloaked figure moved foreword and kneeled down next to the boy, who was silent and still in her tentacles.


-...This is the dreaming plane, a place where anything is possible and nothing is impossible…- Zack blinked in shock as his eyes opened wide at hearing the figure speak.


(You spoke! Thought you were mute for a minute there.) The blond moved foreword and also kneeled down, helping the other move the limp tentacles off the boy, who was finally solidifying.


~I do not recognise him Vincent, do you have an idea who he may be~ Vincent was silent, the gunman was thinking over many facts and was finally finding some of the puzzle pieces that fit together.


-...I believe he is the one Hojo was after, the ‘creature’ who escaped to another plain of existence or dimension. I theorise that he is the one we have all been connected to, allowing contact between the five of us…- The sharpshooters red eyes were focused on the boy, as the last of the tentacles were stripped from his body; and though he did not show it, he was inwardly concerned about the black patches of veins, which had grown on the lad from where the tentacles of the monster had borrowed into his spirit. A sharp intake of breath signified that the blond had noticed.


~Those are…~


(Jenova cells. Borrowing into the spirit and the mortal body if I’m not mistaken.) The blond swordsman stiffened as he darted up and swung round, his massive blade moving fluidly with his body until stopped by a familiar, similar blade to his own.


(Damn it Cloud! Leave Seph alone. He’s not that creature that tried to destroy you and mess with your mind. Are you forgetting that I’ve been there the whole time, watching your every movement from that time Tifa found you in Midgar sector Seven to the final battle against Deepground?!) Shock ran through Cloud, as he stared at purple eyes straight across from his own over their crossed blades; the usually playful man was for once struggling to hide his emotions, a multitude passed quickly as they could be seen but Cloud with his enhanced eyesight saw every one of them.


Painsorrowhorroranguishdesperationshockhateloveangerworryhelplessnessfearterror he was struck still with everything that he could see, unknowing to him his blade lowered; he was mouthing something but could hear nothing as his own eyes shut and he turned away, shoulders slumped.


(Cloud?) The blond shook his head and moved away, it was too much too soon, he was still getting over the shock of seeing his best friend alive once more and didn’t need any more complications at this moment.


(You still fear me Strife.) It was a clear statement of fact, to which the silver swordsman clearly had trouble saying, if his tensed shoulders were anything to go by; green eyes watched Cloud with a piercing quality, as the blond shook his head again and stood on the far side of Vincent, seeming to want space from everyone except the one he trusted. Seeing this, Zack’s shoulders slumped as he frowned at the not-floor; hurt and slightly miffed by the way the other was acting.


‘Huhhh…’ The groan caught all their attention and they looked upon the lad as he shifted, then opened his eyes the green shining brightly; the usual signs of waking not apparent in this place, clearly they didn’t have need for their eyes to adjust. Then they were all shocked to various degrees as he seemed to blur, changes upon his body that solidified and settled, clearly more natural if the lazy stretch was anything to go by.


Long black messy hair fell down to mid back whilst bags tipped in silver fell in front of his eyes. Pointed ears were just seen through his hair as glowing green eyes surveyed each of them in turn. A black tail tipped in silver swished from side to side slowly, while blackened wings moved back and forth slightly, feathers slowly falling every now and again. It was completely silent for a moment until finally having enough Zack broke the quiet with a grin.


(Hey, nice to meet ya. I’m Zackery Fair, though call me Zack.) Brows furrowed, as green eyes fixated on the black swordsman a question in their depths; though if the sudden widening of the others eyes were anything to go by, he had the answer to his silent question.


‘It t’was you… All of you, who kept me from loosing my will and falling into darkness that the betrayer trapped me into.’ Looks between each other clearly showed confusion to the words the lad had spoken, silent words passed between them in query to the newest part of the hostile group.


(You may have us mistaken for another. I had not been aware of your presence for the entire time I have been trapped within the hell Hojo created.) His eyes slid away to look at the others before he looked back at similar yet not the same green eyes.


‘Have you not? A lot of the time you considered me to be your conscience and when we were both young, you considered me your friend who only you could talk to.’ Turning to the others he nodded.


‘Tis a fact, that all of you have spoken to me at some point in time, whether directly or not. I was there to help as I could in my bound state, though even so a great many things were out my reach cause of that blasted seal… ’ He had trailed off, distant as something like pain flickered in his eyes, as the lad saw something only he could make out.


(I don’t mean to interrupt a trip down memory lane guys, but we still don’t know your name kiddo.) Instantly Zack had a glare of green upon him from the so called ‘kid’, who looked very offended at being named as such.


‘Begging your pardon you twit, but it would do for you to not assume I am a child. I am in-fact 15 years of age, even though I look younger than I should please don’t insult me again you bloody bastard.’ Zack stepped back, cringing at the venom in the voice.


(Gee OK! I won’t do it again!) Mumbling (Humph. Who would have thought shorty would be so picky.)


‘I heard that.’


(Yeh so?!)


~Dear Gaia give me strength~


(Now there are two of them…)


~Uhh, damn~


-‘I’m not part of this’-


‘You’re a bloody bastard you know that!’


(Your one to talk idiot!)


()


~Who would have thought they would rub each other the wrong way?~


-…So strange…-


‘All right that’s it! Get back here!’


(No way! I’m not fighting a kid!)


‘I’m not a bloody fucking kid! How many times must I repeat myself!!!’


~You had to goad him on didn’t you Zack?!~


(S’not my faul…Gahh hot!)


(Your lucky I am not your superior officer Zackery. Or you would be demoted straight away for such behaviour.)


-…Something is wrong…-


‘Ugk!’


(You ok?)


~Something’s not right!~


‘I…oh god…not this aga…augh!’ His back arched as he thrashed upon the ground, sharp fangs glinted in the light as he snarled, lips pulled fully back to vent the pain, which flowed through his body like a living creature; he could feel exactly what was happening, something or someone had taken over his physical body and almost cut the link between his mental self or spirit to his mortal form.


‘You damn BITCH!’ He shrieked that last word as the entity, he could feel was a female, finally gained control of his mortal shell; clawed hands gripped his skull in a tight grip, as he thrashed, inhuman cries escaping his throat as he tried to fight back against the invasion. But as time seemed to pass, he felt himself fading, she was dragging him back, but he didn’t want to be trapped as a slave, no he had been like that long enough; though one thing distracted him, opening his tightly clenched eyes, he looked up into similar green eyes of Sephiroth who was holding his arms away from his head and securely keeping him from thrashing or hurting himself.


‘I…I can’t…’ Those were to be his last as his eyes slid shut, his body seemed to shudder as bands of black appeared around his wrists and arms, entrapping him before he suddenly fell apart into sparkles of light that faded into the white light. Sephiroth was left there holding air, but one thing was left behind; within the swordsman’s hand was a band of emerald green, with one thing embroidered on the outside, given to the last hope the creature had of escaping his prison forever. ‘Guidence. A link between two worlds. Gaia-Earth’


Everyone was silent, looking to where the creature had disappeared from. Shifting, Zack looked around still curious about the one Hojo had seemingly connected them all to, when something occurred to him.


(Hey we still don’t know his name!)


*Hogwarts: Hospital Wing*


I stepped out of the fireplace, the flames parting to allow me through; walking across the marble flooring, I strode towards the end of the Hospital wing and the room at the back for the more… dangerous patients. Stopping beside the matron, I turned my head, looking down at her with serious blue eyes; the usual twinkle missing as I took in her shaking and sweltering form.


“What happened Madame Pomfrey?” The woman exhaled shakily, as she made her way over to one of the beds and sank down upon it. Holding a hand to her head, she looked up into my face with weary eyes, which showed her true age.


“It was very close Albus. I near enough couldn’t hold him.” My eyebrows furrowed as I processed this.


“Harry?” She nodded, as she looked over towards the door she had been leaning against before. Looking in the same direction, I was startled to notice that the whole span of the wood was cracked and blackened; only holding together by the Matron’s own will and magic; which seemed to be at its breaking point.


“It took everything I had, to contain the power seeping off that boy. It was like nothing I have ever seen, not in a human anyway.” I stayed silent listening to her


“His magic slashed at the air and was physically visible, hundreds of colours spiralled throughout, though the most prominent was a deep red of fury and anger. I rushed out of there as fast as I could and only just barricaded the door, when the whole lot crashed into the wards I had cast; even then I had to use all my magic to just stop its advance.” I had sat next to her, a hand on her shoulder, as Minerva came foreword and crouched in front of the matron, taking the shaking hands into her own; having just gotten to the Hospital wing herself.


“The strangest thing was that the boy was unconscious throughout the attack of his magic; it was like it had a life of its own.” She lifted her head and looked at my own blue orbs, a serious look upon her face


“Yet as I ran out the door, I glanced back once and saw the moonlight, which was shining on that boy’s body; was a deep red, almost the colour of blood. Something was happening to him, that’s all I know before I got out of there with my life in tact.” She detangled her hands from Minerva’s and placed her face into them, breathing shakily as she held back the urge to cry, the terror of before now catching up on her.


Squeezing her shoulder, I stood up while looking down upon her a sincere look upon my face.


“You did your best Poppy, get some rest while I go see to mister Potter.” She nodded and got up, Minerva moved with her, concern showing in every part of her body.


“Perhaps you should go with her Miner…” My voice was cut off, as I through my hands in front of my face to shield it; as the door that had been blackened and near broken, exploded in a flash of white light. Bringing down my hands I looked towards the door, as Minerva and Poppy also faced that direction. Poppy’s face was pale, as was Minerva’s, while my own was white; as we all watched a figure appear in the smoke, which eclipsed the doorway.


End Chapter 7

-

Ok first things first, here’s the list of which character was using which mental speech (or something like that)

Mental Speech
(Sephiroth)

-Vincent-

~Cloud~

(Zack)

‘Harry’

/Jenova\

Next chapter, that will be up the top. I just wanted to see how many of you were able to guess the various characters and which voice went with which.

Secondly here’s the various ages of the character that tried to be as accurate ass possible (some of them are estimates though as I could not get the age)

Zack: 22
Sephiroth: 27
Vincent: 30
Cloud: 24
Harry: Earth Body 15 - Gaia Body 28

A|so you can guess, the reason why Harry has such mood swings is because he’s trapped between ages 15 and 28, the timelines on both planets are different, I think it’s one year on Earth to three on Gaia or something like that. Not too sure, hopefully you enjoyed the chapter and the first proper interaction with the characters.
