Chapter 9
Nine followed Marina into the room she had said was his unable to help admiring her backside. She was very pretty.
"Thank you," Nine said as he accepted the keycard.
Marina sat on the bed looking nervous.
"We can go shopping for clothes a little later," Marina said. "Sarah said Harry will pay for it."
"He sounds like a pretty great guy from what I've seen," Nine said as he sat down next to her.
"Yeah. He does. He was bad-ass in action," Marina said. "Can I ask you something?" She asked nervously.
"Anything," Nine said.
"Do you like me?" Marina asked. "I mean are you attracted to me?"
"Yes. Very much so. I would like to get to know you better," Nine admitted. Marina appeared relieved.
"I find you attractive too and would like to get to know you better," Marina admitted. "Sarah and Six suggested we should share a room. They said we would learn a lot about each other this way. They said we could take our clothes to the bathroom when we shower. I can get my own room if you aren't comfortable with that."
"Are you alright with that?" Nine asked concerned that Six and Sarah were pushing her into this.
"It might be a little uncomfortable at first. But I do want to get to know you better," Marina admitted."Then I'm fine with it," Nine said with a smile. "Do you think you could borrow some clothes for me from Sam or Harry. I don't know that they have anything that will fit. But I really need a shower after being held captive for a year."
"I'll see what I can find while you are in the shower," Marina said. "Thank you," Nine said as he stood and headed for the bathroom.
Marina blushed as Nine's shirt came off as he was walking into the shower. She left the room to the sound of running water thinking she wouldn't mind washing his back.
Back in Harry's Hotel Room
Begin Smut Scene
Harry stared down at Six as her head bobbed back and forth. Her lips were wrapped around his dick as she sucked it eagerly. The two of them had showered together. After the shower, he had just spent at least ten minutes slurping at her tight pink pussy which had tasted divine. Harry felt a yearning hunger for Six, like their biology demanded this of them. He could see it in her eyes that she felt the same as she gladly swallowed his cock. The primal urge to mate was greater than any of their past couplings. Perhaps because they had both agreed to having a baby. She could only get maybe a third to half in her mouth without really trying. Even the amount she could easily get in felt great.
"Enough, I need to be in you," Harry said.
Harry had been sitting on the bed. But he reached down and pulled Six to her feet. He had been intending to stand as well. But she rose and pushed him back using her telekinesis to help her float him further up the bed.
"I need you in me," Six growled. "I'm going to ride your hot dick."
Six crawled up the bed giving him one last lick from balls to the tip of his shaft before she straddled his hips. She grinned beautifully as she reached down and held his prick steady before sinking down onto it. Both lovers let out a groan of pleasure as his length slid inside her sleeve. For him it was warmth, soft, and wet. For her it was hot, hard, and stretching. Together they both felt a sense of rightness and of being alive like they could only experience when coupled. Six sank her cunt down onto his shaft until she felt her mound pressing down against his pelvis.
"That's what I'm talking about," Six declared before she leaned down and kissed him, biting his bottom lip before shoving her tongue in his mouth.
Harry's tongue moved against Six's as he held onto her hips and squeezed her butt. He loved to
feel her firm ass in his grip, pliable when he kneaded her flesh. She began to rock her hips back and forth. He felt her slick sleeve draw back until only the tip of his dick was still within her confines. Then the beautiful blonde would allow her body weight to drive her down and forwards impaling herself on his length. She didn't move too hurriedly. Like him she wanted to draw this out, enjoy their time together. She broke the kiss and leaned back. Her eyes never left his as she stared down at him. The grin hadn't left her lips. But then it gradually faded into a look of concentration as she focused on the sensations his prick was inducing into her. Harry also thought about those same sensations. Her pussy was working wonders on his hardness, especially surrounding the head of his shaft. Each movement to and from Six's depths saw a small but wonderful sensation of pleasure flow up his shaft into his groin. Harry reveled in that small surge of feeling. Each small surge was adding to that gradual tension that built towards orgasm. He reached up and cupped her bouncing breasts as she moved on top of him. He played with her tits for a while, flicking his thumbs across her hard nipples.
Harry hands trailed down Six's body to her toned belly until his thumb ghosted over her clit. He focused on the spell which made it seem like he was fingering her clit with invisible fingers. Six threw her head back and let out a moan. Harry loved to hear her make that sound. She lost herself in the pleasure of it and simply impaled her pussy on his shaft again and again. Harry lost himself to the sensation as well. He allowed himself to get close to climax again and again but wouldn't let himself go over the edge. Finally, Harry was forced to employ a spell which would prevent his climax until he released it. Six was so gorgeous and the feeling of her body so good that Harry's control was not strong enough.
Six felt such a thrill deep inside her when she looked down at her lover and saw the reverence for her in his eyes. There was true hunger there. She eagerly pushed her pussy down onto his shaft. She could see her juices dripped down onto his groin. She felt her ass bounce off of his thighs with a meaty smacking sound. Each thrust of his shaft into her quim sent a small surge of pleasure into her vagina which flowed up into her belly. The tension was gradually building there. She was getting closer and closer. The sense of rightness at being with him filled her. This was the man who would hopefully one day soon help her rebuild their race. The thought of his seed flowing in her, impregnating her, caused Six to surge towards orgasm. She truly hoped it would happen at this moment. She sped up her movements until she was practically a blur. She knew he could take it. There was no warning. She came hard. Her juices flooded out of her pussy down around the base of his cock. Her inner muscles squeezed and squeezed at his prick. Ecstasy swept through her body. Six cried out as she climaxed over and over. Her toes curled as the intensity of sensation in her pussy reached the greatest heights it ever had. She collapsed forward on top of Harry as the strength went out of her. Her whole body shuddered as she continued to experience the after-effects of what seemed like a several minute-long climax.
Harry rolled the two of them over until he was on top. Harry wasn't sure Six even noticed. She noticed when he began moving inside of her. She laid there with her legs spread invitingly as he took his turn putting his shaft into her. Six's pussy was incredibly wet which only made his passage easier. His thrusts were slow for the moment. He just wanted to enjoy her vaginal embrace. The feeling of her climaxing around his prick had been hot. He thrust himself into her again and again, feeling her inner thighs rub against his hips. The more he thrust into her the more Six regained her strength after her orgasm. Her fingers clutched at his lower back. Her
legs wrapped around the back of his thighs. She kissed him, sucking on his bottom lip. Harry lost himself inside of her warm embrace. The smell of Six's scent which was some flowery fragrance Harry couldn't quite identify mixed with vanilla filled the air along with the smell of sex.
"Yes," Six whispered. "I fucking love it when you fuck me. Give it to me Harry. Fuck my tight little pussy as much as you want. Fuck me until you cum. I want to feel you cum deep inside. Give me your hot creamy load. I want to feel it dripping out of me all day."
Six's words seemed to have the desired effect. He fucked her harder. Her pussy loved that feeling. But then he was drawing all the way out. She felt a sense of loss. She felt his telekinesis at work. Suddenly she was upright standing against the nearest wall. She clutched at the closet door frame.
"I want to watch your ass as I fuck you," Harry said just before he was sliding back into her from behind.
There was a mirror on the nearby wall positioned just right so that if Six looked over her left shoulder she could see them in it. She saw herself standing nearly straight leaning against the wall. Harry stood behind her, his shaft looking impressive gleaming with her juices. He thrust his hips forward driving his shaft into her quim. She was amazed she could take that impressive tool inside of her. She felt it drive up inside of her filling her and stretching her in all the right places. Then he was drawing it back. She saw the pink lips of her snatch draw back with his movement a short ways, clinging to his hardness. He was oh so hard. She watched in the mirror as he took her from behind. His gaze was focused on her ass and pussy. She knew he was an ass man and she was perfectly alright with that. She pushed her butt back at him a short ways, perfectly in time with his thrusts driving her snatch harder back onto his shaft. She could take his pounding. He didn't seem to be in a particular hurry which she was fine with. She loved being fucked by him and couldn't get enough. Drawing it out would definitely be something she preferred. She just watched him and took thrust after thrust loving every second, every stroke, of it.
Harry admired the muscles in Six's back. He admired her smooth skin, shifting his hands up from her hips to run his fingers and palms over that flesh. He admired her slender frame which was deceptive with how much power she could exert. This woman was beauty in sculpted flesh. She was made for him. He loved watching her take his dick. He also loved watching his cock disappear in and out of her body. Her gash took his every thrust and still put out juices to make it easier. Her insides were the perfect counterpoint with their softness to his hardness. Again and again he rhythmically pumped her pussy. The sight of his shaft moving to and from her quim again gave him that sense of rightness. His shaft was where it was meant to be. Taking her from behind up against a wall filled a primal part of him. Harry moved his chest closer, pressing it against her back. His mouth found her right shoulder. He nibbled on her flesh, tasted it. His mouth moved in closer to her neck and she moved her head to grant him greater access. She loved it, moaned his name. He felt her consciously working her inner kegel muscles around his length. This was about his pleasure. At the same time, he maintained the spell which would work her clit at a low level.
"Take your time baby," Six whispered. "You can fuck me as long as you want. I love having your dick buried deep inside of me. When you are ready you can just bury yourself balls deep inside me and pump me full of that hot cream. Until then I'll just keep enjoying your shaft."
Harry did take his time. He fucked Six over and over. But eventually he couldn't hold back anymore. Both lovers were covered in sweat. Both of them were feeling the strain of impending orgasm. Harry gripped her hips tightly. She gripped the door frame hard enough that it cracked under her strength. He thrust forward again and again. She pushed her butt back again and again. Harry came hard. Ecstasy pure and sharp surged through his dick and testicles as his seed shot forth and pumped into Six's cunt. She felt his dick pulsing inside of her and his hot seed coating her insides. Her orgasm ripped through her at the same time. Weakness flooded their limbs. They both started falling forward. Harry road her down. She landed on her knees and collapsed partially forward. Harry continued to inject her with his seed for minute after minute. He felt like he emptied everything into her and it felt amazing. The intensity of it caused him to almost pass out. But Harry clung to consciousness because he wanted to experience every second of this. Their climaxes gradually faded, and the two lovers clung to one another.
It was Six who regained enough of her senses to float both of them over to the bed. She pulled the sheet over them and relaxed there with Harry's arms around her. He was still within her, his hardness slowly fading. His body was truly sated. She felt safe for the first time in her life since she was a young child on Lorien, safe in his arms. They both fell asleep like that.
End Smut Scene
Hermione opened her eyes after experiencing the really intense sex from Six's perspective. She was laying in her bedroom of her house having known what was going to happen from all the leadup to the actual sex. So, she had gone and laid down in her bed. She was glad she had. She wasn't sure how to feel about Harry finally having full sex with Six. If she hadn't just experienced that sex as if it was she herself Harry was making love to she probably would have been jealous. She found that she was quite alright with it given the circumstances after analyzing her feelings for a moment.
She got up on shaky legs and walked to her study. It was the middle of the night. Daniel and Rose were sleeping peacefully. The two of them were wonderful babies. At almost a year old they were already showing their Loric heritage. The two children were able to wield telekinesis. Hermione had been able to determine with a few spells that it wasn't magic they used. It was Loric energy.
Hermione turned on the light in her study and looked at the copy of the Potter family tapestry she had made and placed on her wall. Sure enough her suspicions were confirmed. A solid line connected Hermione's leaf on the family tree to Harry. Another leaf at the same level was also connected to Harry. That other leaf was Maren Elizabeth 'Six' Potter. Beneath Six and Harry's leaves were two other leaves.
"Twins again Harry," Hermione said in amusement. "Only time will tell if they are born the same way as Daniel and Rose."
Hermione turned off the light and decided to go back to bed. First she used her favorite toy first to relieve some residual tension from what she had just experienced.
Harry woke up to the feeling of something being off. When he opened his eyes he knew what. Six was glowing. She was encased in a bubble of temporal energy.
"Sarah, wake up," Harry said as he telekinetically lifted her off the bed and backed away from Six himself.
"What's going on?" Sarah asked as she felt adrenaline surge through her at what was happening to Six.
"I'm not sure," Harry admitted. "She appears to be asleep. I think this has something to do with time."
This was virtually confirmed as over the course of the next minute Six's body visibly changed. Her belly began to grow. Her breasts began to grow. And her hips got a little curvier.
"She's pregnant," Sarah said. "It's like she is growing more pregnant as we watch."
"I think that is exactly what is happening. This is a time dilation field. Time is passing more rapidly on the inside of that field than the outside. At this rate her pregnancy will be over in another minute," Harry said.
"What should we do?" Sarah asked. "Shouldn't we get her to a hospital?" "No," Harry said. "I don't think we should do anything."
As Six reached the point where she looked like she was ready to give birth there was a pair of pops. Two newborn babies, a boy and a girl, appeared on the bed. Harry realized that his children had just apparated out of their mother's womb. Their belly buttons were already taken care of.
"Hello little ones," Harry said as he went over to inspect the babies.
Sarah joined him. The two babies stared up at their father with curious green eyes. They didn't cry. They were already cleaned off. The glow around Six lasted another thirty seconds as her body fully recovered from pregnancy with the exception of a curvier figure and bigger breasts. The field then faded. Her eyes slowly fluttered opened looking confused.
"Are you alright?" Harry asked.
"What happened?" Six asked as she sat up. She then glanced down at the two babies. "Where did they come from?"
"Don't freak out," Sarah said. "But you just gave birth. Some kind of time energy was involved to speed up time around you."
Six looked down at herself and said, "I don't look like I just gave birth. Are my boobs bigger?" "Yeah. And you are a lot curvier now too," Sarah said.
"I've never heard about this even from a Loric," Six said while looking at Harry.
"Neither have I," Harry admitted. Harry suspected that having half Loric half wizard children did very interesting things to their genome. "I just initiated a scan from my car. You appear to be perfectly healthy. The babies seem to have taken care of cleaning up everything inside of you."
"You think they did this?" Six asked.
"That's the only explanation I have," Harry said.
Six leaned down and gently picked the little girl up. Harry likewise picked the little boy up and came around to sit down beside Six. The little girl made a pulling motion with her tiny hand and Six's night shirt tore open revealing her breast.
"I think someone is hungry. That girl's got power," Sarah said.
Six brought her little girl around and the baby did the rest latching onto her breast.
"He's probably hungry too," Harry said while holding his baby.
"He can have the other breast," Six said as she telekinetically settled her little boy onto her other breast. "I'm kind of starving myself. I feel like I can eat a whole large pizza."
"I'm not surprised. You just gave birth. This is pretty strange even for aliens," Sarah admitted. "It is," Sarah agreed.
"I'll go get some food," Harry offered.
"Wake Adelina on your way out," Six said. "We can ask her if she has ever heard of this. Let the others sleep in until morning."
"Will do," Harry said as he got dressed. "Well have to think of some names for these two," He said with a grin as he kissed each of the babes on the forehead before kissing their mother and Sarah on the lips with light pecks.
LuLoric Base, Earth's Moon
"This place is amazing," Six said as she stared out at the lunar surface.
"I'll say," Sarah agreed from where she stood beside Six.
"It isn't done by far yet. But I have enough rooms finished for our families to live here," Harry said.
"You're sure these permanent portkeys don't knock you on your ass like the temporary ones you create when we are in a fight?" Six asked as she turned away from the window.
"Initially creating them is hard. But after that they are permanent and take nothing out of me," Harry assured.
"What are the chances the Mogs will detect us here?" Sarah asked.
"Very slim. We are using the most advanced Loric stealth technology in addition to some tricks I picked up from outside this universe," Harry said, hinting at the wards Hermione had designed for him.
"That's great. Is this going to be our bedroom?" Six asked. "It is," Harry confirmed.
"We had better start furnishing it before we think about bringing our families here," Sarah suggested.
Harry nodded in agreement. The babies were currently living with Sarah's parents. Paul and Annie had agreed to do most of the raising of Michael and Evie until such a time as the war with the Mogadorians was concluded. Six's contribution was breast-feeding via pumping regularly. It wasn't ideal but worked well.
It was a week since the incident where Six had lost her virginity only to wake up several hours later to being a mother of twins. Harry had taken a lot of teasing and ribbing for what the others were calling his super sperm. Adelina had been at a loss to explain any of it. She had never heard anything like it. Crayton had suggested maybe it was their Loric powers ensuring their race survived.
Hermione had saved Harry's bacon. Whatever prevented them from communicating fully didn't stop her from showing him the design of a runic bracelet. When the bracelet was worn by Six she wouldn't become pregnant. Apparently, this magic was effective against even Harry's super sperm. They had celebrated this achievement by testing out the pregnancy blocking feature again and again. Harry, Six, and Sarah were quietly discussing the implications of the ability to reproduce in a matter of hours. It could be a game changer in saving the Loric race. It didn't look like the children were aging at any faster rate than normal. So, it wouldn't be of any help in the war unless the war went on for decades. But it would improve the chances of survivability for Loriens.
One of the abilities Harry had been developing ever since coming to that universe was his legilimency without a wand. He still wasn't up to the level he would have been at with a wand. He wasn't going to break through any minds if a person knew how to put up resistance without being detected. But if a person didn't know any mental defense techniques, Harry could generally slip in without being detected. Reading surface thoughts was child's play. More than once Harry had caught Adelina toying with the idea of asking him to impregnate her a few times. The idea of sleeping with Adelina wasn't exactly unappealing. She was an attractive woman. She wasn't quite in the same league as Sarah, Six, or Hermione. Yet Adelina certainly had an appeal to her. He just didn't think it was a good idea for his continued relationship with Sarah, Six, and hopefully Hermione.
When he had been visiting with his children and had spent some time around Annie Hart he had found she had been entertaining similar thoughts. In Annie's case it was being considered as more of an offer to help the Loric out. Annie also recognized her own world stood a better chance if the Loric survived. After that, Harry shut down any surface thought reading when he was around women he wasn't sleeping with.
"I think we should take a trip to India," Crayton suggested as everyone was having dinner in their hotel room.
The group was sitting in the newly dining hall of their lunar base. "Why is that?" Harry asked.
"We've read accounts of a boy with extraordinary powers living high up in the Himalayas. Some of the locals believe him to be the reincarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu. He has the power to physically alter his form, to shift into beasts and other things," Adelina said.
Adelina and Crayton had been as thick as thieves. Harry wouldn't be surprised if they were sleeping together already. Normal societal cautions about waiting to sleep together could be thrown out the window when you were talking about the fate of your species.
"With how powerful he is supposed to be he could easily be the one who is supposed to inherit the powers of Pittacus Lore," Crayton suggested.
"Or it could be Harry," Six pointed out.
Crayton cocked his head to one side and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"You haven't seen him really cut loose in battle," Six assured. "Trust me...he's strong."
"Alright. I believe you. In any case we should pick up another Garde if we can," Crayton suggested.
"So India, how are we getting there and who is going?" Nine asked from where he sat next to Marina.
Marina and Nine had also been very close. There was room on the base for them to have their own rooms. But the two of them had asked for a larger joint room. They had two beds for now. But Harry suspected it wouldn't be too long until they only used one of the beds in the room.
"I have sent drones with transport platforms to all the major continents and major regions. The one nearest to the Himalayas will take us a couple of hours drive," Harry said. "As for who should go," He trailed off thoughtfully. "I don't think Adelina and Ella should go."
"Why not?" Adelina asked.
She wasn't upset, just curious about his reasoning.
"There aren't many Cepans left. We should put you in as few dangerous situations as possible," Six explained for him to which Harry nodded.
"I don't think Marina should be put into combat situations unless she is needed," Sarah pointed out. "She could remain in reserve in the transport vehicle with the sniper team. Her ability to heal makes her too valuable. Even the stones from the chest don't always work."
"Good point," Nine agreed.
"So a team consisting of Harry, Six, and Nine would be best," Crayton said. "It makes it even more effective because Six can make the three person team invisible. I'll go but stay back with the reserve team for now."
"Yes," Harry agreed. "Sounds like we have a plan." He looked over at Adelina and said, "If you have a few minutes I'd like to go over some plans for the base you can help me with and help getting our families settled in when they arrive in the new quarters."
"Sure," Adelina agreed.
The group soon broke up to go get ready after that.
Harry had upgraded their transports. It had taken a while to make more nano-constructors. But he had done it and figured out how to use the automated features. Now all he had to upload a design and leave it to be made.
Their new transports were sleek and alien looking. They had a definite Loric appearance to their design. There were two rows of seating in the front of the transport. In between the rear two seats of the second row was a walkway that led into the back. What would have been the trunk on a normal car was in fact a pocket dimensional room. This had eight comfortable chairs spaced a little ways apart. The chairs were secured to the floor. Windows in the pocket dimension were enchanted through runes to show the outside of the transport. Hermione had been able to share the design for the new vehicles with Harry via their dream visions.
Harry had decided for this mission that he wanted some privacy with his ladies. As such, Harry, Six, and Sarah took one transport. Everyone else took the second transport. The transports could take on the appearance of any human ground vehicle. Right now they just looked like vans. The transport ring was about an hour outside of New Delhi in India. They would have to pass by New Delhi and continue to travel for a good while yet before they would reach the Himalayas. Normally that trip would take around two days. But the transports went very fast. On the ground under camouflage the transports could go faster than any human ground vehicle.
Begin Smut Scene
Harry groaned as Sarah's lips slid up and down the length of his dick. He was currently seated on the edge of the bed in the back of the transport. The pocket dimension in the back of the transport could be reset as a bedroom from the control console in the front of the transport. Sarah was on her knees with her blonde hair bobbing up and down in his lap. She absolutely loved sucking his cock.
Six was sitting next to Harry as naked as Sarah. Six was slowly making out with Harry. Sarah had requested to be able to see Harry and Six having sex. She was finally ready to see it. Harry used his telekinesis to float one of his crystal pleasure wands like the one he had provided to Sam and Emily down between Sarah's legs. She immediately moaned approvingly around his dick when she felt the wand go to work on her pussy.
"Don't blow in her mouth," Six whispered after they broke the kiss to watch Sarah working. "You're going to cum in my pussy."
"Yes Ma'am," Harry said with a grin.
"Alright, Sarah. That's enough sucking dick. It's time for me to get some of that. Do you want to go guide it in?" Six asked as she shifted over onto her hands and knees.
"Sure," Sarah agreed after popping her mouth off of his dick.
Harry stood as Sarah rose higher on her knees and gripped his prick. She shifted up onto the bed and watched in fascination as his hips lined up with Six's. Sarah couldn't look away as her hand unerringly guided their man's prick to Six's gash. Six moaned approvingly as the tip of Harry's knob found her opening. He began to press inside of her. Six's body was forced to open up to accommodate him. Sarah was amazed as inch after inch of Harry's bone was buried in Six's sleeve. Finally his groin was resting against the backs of her thighs. Sarah was on her knees next to Harry, pressed against his side. His telekinesis held the crystal wand in place so she could watch what he was experiencing. She suddenly felt everything from Six's perspective and Harry's as well. She felt just how good Six's pussy felt around his length. She also felt how much Six loved having his cock buried in her cunt.
Harry was in heaven as he drew his hips back, feeling Six's snatch dragging along his length. Having Sarah's breast and body pressed against his left side while he slowly began to fuck Six was incredibly hot.
"Your dick is huge," Sarah whispered into his ear before biting her lip. "You're stretching her so much."
Sarah felt how much hotter it made it for Harry to have her whispering into his ear. She felt his arousal intensify as Six knelt there and took his cock. Six was absolutely gorgeous from her toned muscled back down to her flared hips. Sarah could tell he especially loved watching her rear as his sausage burrowed deep into Six's snatch.
"Play with his balls Sarah," Six whispered. Sarah's right hand want down between Harry's legs from behind to gently cup his balls. "That's it. He likes that."
Sarah was very glad for her decision to ask to see Harry fuck Six. Even if she wasn't yet ready for it herself, she thought she would likely be joining them like this quite often.
End Smut Scene
"There's a change of plans. We need to stop in New Delhi. A vision has shown me that some followers of Eight are positioned in the city," Harry said as a hologram of his head appeared in the second transport. "Are vehicles are already rerouting to where we need to go."
"Understood," Nine said.
Their transports became visible disguised as generic looking local vehicles as they came into New Delhi. They eventually pulled down an alley that had been blocked off. Men carrying AK47's stood next to vans with the Loric symbol for the number eight at the end of the alley.
"I don't like the looks of this at all," Sarah said.
"I believe these men follow Eight," Harry said. "Stay in the transport. Their bullets won't even scratch our vehicles."
"They might scratch you," Sarah pointed out.
"I've got his back," Six said as she stepped out with him.
"Out," One man shouts as he raises his AK47 and aims it at Harry. "I don't think so," Harry says as he raises his right hand.
Every single AK47 in sight rose up into the air slipping from the hands of the men holding them. The men stared stunned at the weapons levitating above them. A bearded man with a red beret stepped out of a truck. He approached slowly.
"Good afternoon and welcome. I am Commander Grahish Sharma of the rebel group Vishnu Nationalist Eight. We come in peace," Commander Grahish said.
"The guns don't exactly convey that," Harry said calmly.
"We have enemies," Commander Grahish said. "We would never have engaged in combat with you. Vishnu told us you are all powerful like him. We know who you are."
"I see," Harry said. "And you are to take us to Vishnu?"
"I am," Commander Grahish confirmed. "He asked me to convey this message to you. I am Number Eight. Welcome to India. Please come see me as soon as you can."
"We will go with you. But we will follow in our own transports," Harry said firmly. "Of course," Commander Grahish agreed. "Eight said you would wish to do as much."
"Lead the way," Harry said as the guns lowered back into the hands of the men who had held them.
Harry and Six climbed back into the car.
"That went about as well as could be expected," Six said as the convoy of vehicles pulled out. The two Loric transports followed the resistance elements.
"I do believe Eight has the legacy of Precognition," Harry said as he opened a channel with the occupants of the other transport.
"That's a thing?!" Sam said. "Wicked."
"Yes. It is a thing, a very powerful legacy," Crayton said. "It was rare and had varying levels of strength. It would make sense that an elder held it."
"If the elders could see the future through one of their members how did they get blind-sided by the attack on Lorien?" Emily asked.
"Who is to say they were completely blind-sided?" Crayton asked. "The way precognition works is that the Garde with the legacy could see several possible futures. It's likely the elders thought the chance of attack was somewhat low. But they obviously took it seriously enough to prepare to send you here."
"Or they saw it as a hopeless fight on Lorien by the time they realized the true danger," Nine mused.
Harry bowed out of the conversation for a bit. He closed his eyes and caught up on what was happening in the universe where he hadn't merged with Four. It only took a few minutes to catch up. When he did, he grimaced. Sam had been captured by the Mogadorians in that universe. Four had been hurt by the force-field surrounding the Mogadorian cave and was only just now recovering. It was just Four, Nine, and Bernie Kosar in the wilderness near the cave. Nine didn't want them to go back for Sam, to risk their lives for a human. Four didn't agree. Harry could see both sides of the argument. There were billions of humans and only a handful of Loric left. In a purely cold game of numbers it was foolish to risk a Loric for a human let alone two Loric. But Harry knew that Four didn't feel that way. Sam was a good friend. Harry didn't blame Four for wanting to go back.
He let his mind wander to another topic that had been pre-occupying him of late, his children. Harry had just found out that he had two more children than he had thought. Hermione had managed to show him in a pensieve during their dream-vision visit the birth of his two children. They had long since established that the dream vision state didn't allow written or verbal communication. Pensieve memories could be shared as long as they didn't try to convey memories of writing things out. A further quirk of this rule was that technical information like designs for new technology could be conveyed in pensieve memories including dimensions and computer code. But that was it.
Hermione had decided to push the boundaries. She had shown him a memory of his children at their current age with nametags on. He now knew his children were Daniel Harry Potter and Rose Lily Potter. It filled Harry with so much love when he thought of his children and Hermione. Through their emotional bond he could feel she felt the same. It wasn't the same as having an honest to god personal conversation about how their day had gone or even about recent events. But it was enough. Between what they had and the ability to make love it was enough. Harry knew his brilliant Hermione had figured out a way to monitor his life. How else would she have learned the ability to design with Loric technology. She was amazing. Even a universe away Hermione had his back.
The two Loric transports had been sandwiched between two rebel trucks in the convoy. The moment the first RPG struck the lead truck in the convoy any illusion that the Loric transports were actually touching the ground was shattered. The RPG had actually struck the ground just in front of the lead vehicle. To those watching it looked like Harry's vehicle simply ignored the large hole that had been blown in the ground and continued on. The holographic covering for Harry's vehicle rippled as another RPG struck their vehicle. Harry, Six, and Sarah experienced a violent shaking of their vehicle as its armored form shrugged off the explosion from the RPG. The vehicle behind them did the same. The rebel vehicle in the rear was struck directly by an RPG and went up in a fiery explosion crashing to a halt off the road, its occupants instantly dead.
"Stay in your truck," Harry sent over the hologram to the other transport. He looked to Six and said, "Our only goal is to get those remaining alive in Commander Sharma's transport into our transport. Nine, take out the helicopter."
"Understood," Six said. Harry directed their transport between Sharma's overturned truck and where most of the fire was coming from. Six opened the door on the opposite side and began telekinetically pulling bodies out of the wreckage. Harry meanwhile was hurling large objects at the enemies attacking them. Two more attack helicopters came into sight. Nine had already caused the previous chopper to crash. Before Harry even had to divert his attention, Nine took out one of the helicopters while surprisingly Harry sensed Marina take out the other. "I've got everyone."
Six had closed the door on their transport. Only Commander Sharma and two of his men were still alive. The two men were unconscious pretty badly wounded. Commander Sharma was awake but had a bleeding headwound and an obviously broken arm. Harry immediately ordered the transports to move off again and camouflage with their surroundings.
"Who the hell just attacked us?" Sarah asked.
"Members of the Lords Resistance Front," Sharma answered.
"What do they want?" Six said as she produced her healing stone from her chest and began using it on Commander Sharma.
Sharma let out a cry of pain as the overwhelming sensation caused by the stone came over him. He was sweating and breathing heavily when the sensation passed yet staring at his healed arm in amazement.
"To kill Vishnu and those like him, meaning you," Sharma said.
Harry meanwhile had been healing Sharma's men using his own stone. "Yeah. That isn't going to happen," Six said. "We've handled a lot worse." "I'm sorry about your men who died," Harry said.
"Us as well," Six said while gesturing to Sarah.
"Thank you. It happens all too frequently in this part of the world. Thank you for healing us," Sharma said. "Vishnu told us there were others like him. It was hard to imagine. But now I have seen it myself."
"Everyone alright over there?" Marina said as her hologram swam into view from the front of the transport.
"We're fine Marina," Sarah said. "Just getting Commander Sharma and his men healed up. Is everyone alright over there?"
"They didn't even phase us. Nice job on these transports Harry," Nine complimented. "Where do we go from here?" Crayton asked
"We can keep heading in the direction we were heading. I will have to direct you when we get closer," Commander Sharma said.
"That's what we will do then," Harry agreed.
Commander Sharma looked around at the room they were in and said, "Your transport looked a lot smaller than this."
"What you saw from the outside isn't what our transport actually looks like," Six said. "I see," Sharma replied. "I shall not question further."
Harry would have preferred to spend the rest of his ride relaxing with his girls. But it was not the fault of Commander Sharma or his men that they had been attacked. Harry suddenly felt something off about one of the men. He went back and examined the man who was now sitting up.
"What is it?" Six asked.
"This man is a traitor to your cause Commander Sharma. He is secretly working with the Lord's Resistance movement," Harry announced.
"No, no," The man protested.
Harry reached out with his mind and used a legilimency version of an obliviate. He then levitated the man out the front of the vehicle.
"What did you do to him?" Sarah asked curiously. "He looked very dazed." "He will not remember what he saw us do," Harry said.
Just then Nine's hologram returned to the vehicle.
"What just happened?" Nine asked. "One of Sharma's men just flew out of your vehicle."
"He was a traitor to our cause," Commander Sharma said.
"Damn. Was it wise to let him live? Won't he just tell the other soldiers where we are going?" Nine asked.
"He was a new follower of Vishnu. He had not yet met Lord Vishnu," Sharma reported.
"And Harry did something to his mind to make him forget what he has seen or heard of us," Six said.
Nine glanced at Harry speculatively and said, "I didn't know that you could do that."
Harry gave a small smile and said, "It isn't something I like to advertise for good reason."
There was a few moments of silence. Then Commander Sharma broke it.
"At the speeds we are moving we will soon reach the mountain pass where we will have to go on foot. The pass will narrow too much for a vehicle," Sharma said.
"Show us where," Harry said.
An update from the other universe showed Harry that Marina and Six would have been forced to fight a battle against the Lord's Resistance brigade. Four and Nine hadn't been present. The Loric transports were moving so fast they had long left the brigade behind. Meanwhile Four and Nine had allowed themselves to be captured by a group of U.S. government agents led by a woman named Special Agent Walker. Harry was very closely following this in the other universe hoping to learn how deep the relationship between world governments and the Mogs ran.
Back in India, the vehicles had come to a narrow path that started from behind a gate.
"This is where we will have to leave the vehicles," Commander Sharma said.
The narrow path led straight up the mountain.
"I don't think so," Harry said even as the vehicles gave up all pretense of running on the ground and flew up over the path.
"Your vehicles fly," Sharma said with wide eyes.
"We are not of this world Commander," Six said simply, enjoying the shocked look on the man's face.
As they were flying Harry said, "Marina." Marina's hologram came on along with Nine's. "Yes," Marina said.
"I've determined what one of the objects in your chest does. You have a pair of glasses. They pierce the barrier between this universe and another universe very similar to ours but with a slightly offset time. In short they pear maybe thirty seconds or less into the most probable future," Harry said.
"They let you see the future," Marina said wide eyed.
"He's saying they let you see danger coming at you," Nine said. Harry nodded. "That's damn useful."
"It is," Harry agreed. "Might I suggest we train Ella on them since she doesn't have any other combat useful legacies."
"That's a good idea," Marina agreed.
"There is also a branch in your chest," Harry said.
"Yes. A small tree branch wrapped in some leaves," Marina confirmed. "Do you know what it does?"
"It allows you to control trees. They can move their branches when you want them to," Harry said.
"Wicked," Nine said while smiling at his girlfriend. "That sounds like something you can have fun with."
"And useful to block attacks or attack themselves," Six said.
Commander Sharma had been placed in a seat and had a holographic representation of the terrain below floating before him. He had been selecting points on the trail below for them to follow. The limited AI that governed the transports was following those points.
"We have a slight problem," Commander Sharma announced.
"What is it?" Harry asked as he came up behind the Indian man.
"This fork in the path is new," Sharma said while indicating a fork in the trail.
"How does a fork just appear?" Six asks. "Is it an illusion of some sort, a hologram?"
"I do not know. But I believe we should go right. I have traveled this way before," Sharma said.
"The glasses are only showing me darkness on the right," Ella said.
"And the left path has the Loric symbol for eight etched in the dirt," Harry said as he used a hologram to zoom in on the symbol.
"It's a test of some sort," Marina mused. "Eight is testing us."
The transport traveled along the left path. Soon the path turned into a stream. Then the stream turned into a river the further upstream they went. The river ended in a large pool with four separate waterfalls falling into it. In the center of the pool was a large white boulder. A gleaming blue statue of a crowned man with four arms is sitting on top of the boulder.
"You don't see that every day," Sarah said.
"The almighty Lord Vishnu," Commander Sharma said with reverence.
The statue was holding a pink flower, a white shell, a gold wand, and a small blue disc. Harry closed his eyes and absorbed a vision from the other world.
"Let's change things up a bit," Harry said as he opened the transport door while it hovered over the large white boulder.
In the other universe, Eight had felt the need to test Marina, Six, and Ella. It had resulted in Marina's future glasses being destroyed. Harry had no desire to go through that tediousness.
"Hello Eight," Harry said to the blue statue. "I know you are a shape-shifter and can teleport. I also know you can somewhat see potential futures. Look into the future and tell me what you see happening if you insist on testing me."
Nothing happened for a moment. Then eight let out a shudder and gave up all pretense of being a statue. His form shifted into that of a dark haired boy slightly shorter than Harry, his natural form.
"Hello Four," Eight said as the transports sat down and began to let out the others. "What was all that about?" Nine asked as he looked at Eight speculatively.
"He wanted to test us to be sure we were Loric. He knows I am Loric now," Harry said. "He has the ability to see potential futures even further than the glasses Ella is wearing. But they are only potential futures. He's also a shape-shifter and teleporter."
Eight wondered how Harry knew everything that he did. He was also wondering if Four knew about his extra-sensory perception. He could glean information not gathered through his physical senses.
"Testing us is kind of a dick move man," Nine said to which Marina nodded. "We've come a long way to meet you," Six said.
"We all have a lot of baggage and don't know the other's circumstances," Harry pointed out. "Let's hold off judgment of Nine until we get to know him a little better."
The others seemed to agree.
"We should leave soon," Eight said.
"What about me?" Commander Sharma said while sounding lost.
Harry zoned out on the conversation where Eight tried to gently let Sharma down. The man seemed to take it well enough. Harry was distracted by the vision of what was going on with Four and Nine in that other world. They had briefly been captured by Special Agents Walker and Purdy of the FBI. The two Garde had actually allowed themselves to be captured in an attempt to try to gain information on how involved the US government was with the Mogadorians. To make a long story short the FBI agents had gotten away.
One important thing that had come out of that encounter was information about the bracelet in Harry's chest. It was a shield bracelet that would unfurl a protective barrier almost like a cloth in times of need. While interesting he thought it wasn't something he really needed with his body armor and other enhancements.
"Before we leave, I need to show you something," Eight said before turning and walking down a path.
"I guess we follow him," Harry said before doing just that.
Harry used the neural link to get the transports to follow them. He ignored the ladies quietly discussing how attractive Eight was. He honestly didn't mind. Just because Sarah and Six were committed to him didn't mean they didn't have eyes.
"Do you think Eight has enhanced hearing?" Nine asked.
"I don't think he has hearing like you," Harry said. "Try not to let jealousy affect you. Just because Marina is agreeing with the others that Eight is 'hot' doesn't mean she isn't totally into you."
"Your advice didn't steer me wrong before. So, I'll follow it again. Still, it's hard," Nine admitted.
"It can be at times," Harry agreed. "But think about it this way. If Marina by some chance did decide to pursue someone else Earth women will probably be throwing themselves all over us when we end up being exposed to the people of Earth and they see what we can do."
"I never considered that," Nine admitted. "Do you really think we will be exposed?"
"I think this quiet conflict with the Mogs can't be kept quiet forever," Harry said. "I believe only the government helping cover it up has stopped it from getting out."
"You're probably right. So, what do you think of Eight? He seems a bit arrogant to me," Nine said.
"He does come across that way. I would imagine being forced to play a god could cause that. Having some sort of extra sensory perception or ESP and the ability to see possible futures probably doesn't help," Harry mused.
"You're pretty good at playing a mediator," Nine noted.
Harry snorted internally. He had been forced to grow up quickly in his last life. The group was now walking down a hill into a wide-open valley. They had now pulled even with Eight. So, the conversation about the newest Garde member to be found died. There were patches of forest present with fields containing yellow and purple flowers between. In the background were snow-tipped mountains. It was a very beautiful scene.
"My Cepan was named Reynolds," Eight said, beginning to tell some of his story. "He was always able to laugh despite our circumstances. He was a great Loric and even better friend. Lola was a human he fell in love with. This was eight years ago. They fell in love quickly and she moved in with us. She always wanted to keep track of me knowing where I was and what I was doing. She kept trying to get near my chest. But I wouldn't let her. Reynolds eventually told her who we were." He paused in his story here. "That caused a big fight between Reynolds and I when I found out what he had done. She eventually pushed us to take a hiking and camping trip into these mountains." He pointed to a particular mountain and said, "That was the mountain we went to. I had my chest with me. I wasn't leaving it behind. By this point I could teleport, had telekinesis, and had my strength. She tried her best to separate Reynolds and I once we got here. She wasn't successful. On the third night of our trip Lola left to get firewood. When she came back it was with a dozen Mogadorian soldiers. Reynolds was heartbroken demanding of her why she would do it. A soldier threw her a bag of coins she dove at. Then the same soldier stabbed her in the back with its sword killing her."
"The fight that followed was brutal. I killed a lot of Mogs. But I got separated from Reynolds when the Mogs got my chest. Before I knew it one of them ran into the woods in my chest and took off in one of their silver ships. During the fighting the charm protected me. Any lethal strike against me killed the Mog that attacked me instead. Despite all of that and my ability to teleport I wasn't fast enough to save Reynolds," Eight said with a heartbroken tone.
"I'm sorry about Reynolds," Six said after several moments of silence. "We all are," Marina added.
"Thank you," Eight said meaningfully.
"What happened after that?" Nine asked after several moments.
"I hid in the mountains. It wasn't long after that my shape-shifting legacy showed itself," Eight explained. "One day I came across a very enlightened old man sitting under a tree praying. I was in the form of a rabbit. When I snuck into the woods and returned in Loric form he offered me some lettuce. He knew me despite what form I was in. Devdan was his name. He was the one who taught me about Hinduism and Vishnu. He taught me ancient forms of Indian martial arts like kalarippayattu, silambam, and gatka. I worked with my legacies to push what he taught me. One day when I went to meet him he wasn't there. I never saw him again. One day a couple of months later I encountered Commander Sharma and his men training. I was in the form of Vishnu at the time. They swore to protect me from all evils. I knew it was wrong. But I was so alone."
"It isn't our place to judge you Eight," Harry said. "You faced great hardship."
"Loneliness is a powerful motivator," Six said as she reached out and took Harry's hand, squeezing it.
Six knew Loneliness. Even though she had been surrounded by humans for years, she had still been separated from her own kind. No longer. Remembering those times made her appreciate Harry and Sarah all the more.
By this point the group had reached a small lake at the base of a waterfall they could hear in the distance. They were walking around the lake.
"Did the Mogs ever come back?" Crayton asked.
"They did," Eight confirmed. "They come back from time to time. But I'm always in the form of some animal. Hiding as a fly is pretty effective. They zip overhead in their ships from time to time."
"That explains the UFO reports in this area," Sam said.
"My home is up there on a ledge," Eight reported while pointing above the waterfall. Eight then teleports up. Harry wraps everyone up in his telekinesis and levitates them up. Nine shook his head as they floated up and said, "Showoff."
"If you've got it," Harry bantered back with a grin.
Eight's mud hut was somehow homey with its hammock and fresh flower smell. The thick canopy overhead obscured them from above. The group is soon sitting around a fire making dinner.
"It's obvious you want to show us more than this. What is it you want to show us?" Crayton asked.
"There is an old Loric outpost at the top of this mountain. It allows teleportation to certain places in the world. I can teleport the entire group from the outpost," Eight says. "At least I think I can."
"That I would like to see," Nine says to which the others nod.
Later that night found the group camping out, sort of. Some of the group was sleeping in the shuttles. Some of the group was sleeping under the stars. Harry found himself being awoken by an excited Sarah. Six was already awake. She put a finger to her lips and pulled him by the hand over to the ledge near the waterfall. Six hugged herself to one side of Harry and Sarah hugged herself to the other side. Six then proceeded to float them over the ledge and down to one side of the beach.
"Fancy a skinny dip?" Sarah asked with a grin.
"I would be a foolish man to turn down the chance to be with you two naked," Harry said.
"Yes you would," Six said even as she started stripping.
Soon all three were naked. Harry beheld the visions of beauty that were his girlfriends in the moonlight.
"I think he likes what he sees," Sarah said as she pulled Six into a half hug while they faced their man.
"I think so too," Six agreed. "We need to keep it down. As we speak Marina is on the other side of the lake losing her virginity to Nine in the sand on the shore."
"And how do you know this?" Harry asked with raised eyebrows.
"Girls talk," Sarah said. "With any luck there will be another little Loric on the way." "Good for them," Harry said.
"Let's practice making more little Loric of our own," Six said as she pulled Harry to her telekinetically and kissed him.
There was some swimming involved that night. But most of the activity was of a more amorous nature.
