Author's notes: The first few chapters will mostly be about catching up on where we are and what is happening. And I'm telling you to read Hereafter too, no matter how much you don't care about Doctor Who. There is something that has been building up for a long time and one of the catalysts of that equation is in Hereafter. So in order to make you people read it, I will be writing both of them simultaneously and it will be one chapter of each after another.
But plot wise, this is a Harry Potter and Justice League story. Traveler Among Wizards was Superman in Harry Potter world, Outsiders Beyond Good and Evil is Harry Potter and friends in the DC UNIVERSE. And it will be climatically eventful.
Too late
''Look at this.''
Broken General Zod extended his arm towards Kal-El as he approached him. The ashes in his hands flew away in the wind in the middle of Metropolis that had been devastated by the World Engine.
''We could have built a new Krypton in this squaler, but you chose the humans over us. I exist, only to protect Krypton. That is the soul purpose for which I was born. And every action I take, no matter how violent or how cruel, is for the greater good of my people. And now, I have no people.''
Kal-El's face showed a little sympathy and compassion, but that was not, what Zod was asking. It was too late for that
''My soul, that is what you have taken from me!''
This was where Zod rose up from his knees and beamed at Kal-El enraged. Kal-El flew away but not far. He was still near enough to hear what Zod had to say next.
''I'm going to make them suffer, Kal,'' Zod said threatingly marching towards Kal-El. ''These humans you've adopted, I will take them all from you one by one!''
''You're a monster, Zod,'' Kal-El said rising up in the air, ready to hit back, ''and I'm gonna stop you!''
The two kryptonians flew at each other, collading and then flew from impact to a building still standing in the desolation. The already fragilly standing building eventually came down as Zod released his heat vision on Kal-El and the building. Thankfully the collateral damage of humans was minimal and close to none as most of Metropolis had already been ordered to evacuate. Only people left there were the members of the PRESS and those poor unfortunate souls who had been too late to leave and had to witness the fight between Zod and Kal-El in the gridlock of traffic jams.
The battle between Zod and Kal-El took its toll of damage, which was exactly what Zod wanted. If he were to emerge triumphly in this combat, he would kill all these humans and if Kal-El were to best him, the humans would blame all the destruction on him. That would have been Zod final victory.
''There is only one way this ends, Kal,'' Zod yelled to Kal-El after throwing him up to another building. ''Either you die, or I do.''
With this, they clashed once more as Zod begun to climb the building up towards Kal-El flying at him and the impact sent them to fly in the air again, to a rooftop of Lexcorp construction site. With a building beam, Zod manage to beat Kal-El down for more taunting.
''I was bread to be a warrior, Kal,'' Zod said as Kal-El attempted to get back up. ''Trained my entire life to master my senses. Where did you train? ON A FARM!?''
With that, Zod begun to streach his limbs covered by his armor. Tearing it of off it's exsess weight, he rose up in the air, showing Kal-El he wasn't the only on who had mastered the ability of flight in Earth's atmosphere. Kal-El responded by flying at him and his time tried to keep Zod from returning to the surface, by pushing and beating him again and again away from the city.
Eventually Zod managed to escape from this and fly away from Kal-El's line of sight. As Kal-El stopped to try and locate Zod, he was ambushed and Zod managed to win more by destroying more of Metropolis by hitting the building with Kal-El and throw him through the total of five neighbouring buildings. As Kal-El was trying to regain his senses, Zod grabbed his cape and threw him up to the Earth's orbit and used an unfortunate Wayne Tech satellite to throw him back, all while dragging the debris of the satellite with them back to Metropolis to cause more damage.
''It's happening in Metropolis,'' Harry Potter said giving instructions to his fellow aurors. ''That thing they tried to use is down, but Superman is still fighting Zod there and there will be casualities. Some of you might not be of that age, but Superman was there to help us fight Voldemort in the Battle of Hogwarts in '97. We wouldn't be alive and live freely now if it wasn't for Superman. We owe him this that we go and help him defeat that mad general.''
''We will be using a port key to get there faster,'' Ron Weasley, Harry's second-in-command and best friend, said showing the portkey that was in the form of an ATM. ''Don't try to be a hero and go help Superman on your own, go and help as many people in trouble as you can. We have already gathered a team for gong in and helping Superman in apprehending Zod.''
''Are there any questions?'' Harry asked.
''What about the muggles?'' one auror asked. 'Wouldn't we be revealing ourselves to them if we go and let them see us?''
''That is the smallest of our concerns right now,'' Harry said with authority. ''If you get the chance to obliviate the muggles, take it. And if you don't get to, hope they just think a miracle happened. Now everyone to the portkey, we are leaving now!''
The group of aurors all touched the portkey and were transported with it in the middle of the desolated Metropolis, to see fire and debris falling from the sky towards the ground.
''What's over there?'' Harry asked and apparated with his aurors to higher ground to see where the falling debris was falling.
''Train station,'' one of the aurors said.
''Ron, take unit 1 and go look for survivors from there,'' Harry told his lifelong friend pointing towards the worst parts of the desolation. ''Unit 2, we apparate over to that train station and make sure no more person dies!''
Unit 1 of aurors apparated to the train station just as Superman, or Clark, as Harry knew him, and Zod fell through the ceiling to the cracking floor. Clark was able to get Zod in a neckhold, but just as Harry and his unit of aurors were about to step in Zod delivered his final attack.
''If you love these people so much,'' Zod said said seeing the aurors ans civillian trying to flee, ''you can mour for them.''
And then Zod unleashed his heatvision to the corner where a family of muggles and the auror unit were. They couldn't get the chance to raise their wands to block the fire and the family of muggles were pushing themselves, and the aurors, against the wall trying to get away from Zod's heat vision.
''DON'T DO THIS!'' Harry could hear Clark yell to Zod, begging him to stop. ''STOP! STOOOP!''
''Never!'' was Zod's response.
Seeing there was only one way to help Clark, Harry tried to get his wand hand to point at the two Kryptonians, but just as he had gotten it free from between himself and the people pushing against him, there was a loud
CRACK!
The fire was gone and the next thing the people saw was Zod's body falling to the floor. Stepping forwards, Harry, his unit and all the muggles saw Superman standing over Zod's corpse, looking at his hand terrified. Then, he slowly fell on his knees and let out a lound cry of despair and agony of what he had been forced to do.
Just then, as Harry was about to walk to his friend he had not seen for years and definately needed a friend now, a tall woman in US military flightsuit ran down the stairs at the entrance to Clark and took the traumatized man to her arms to cry on.
Not here, not now, Harry thought looking at them. Later and somewhere else, he would approach Clark Kent again, like he should have done sooner. They had a lot to catch up on.
Author's notes: One reason why I started this with the final battle of Man of Steel is me reasoning THAT IT WAS ZOD WHO DESTROYED METROPOLIS, NOT SUPERMAN! And because of how Harry and his friends know Clark from Traveler Among Wizards it will be a little this and that. But they will know, they will ALL know, that it could be MUCH WORSE!
Replies to reviews, those that didn't go and read Hereafter:
ww1990ww: Well, Zod won't be the main villain here, sorry. But the main villains will be as big of a threat, or even worse. You can't imagine who they are.
NothernLights25: Be expecting dark turns and twists.
Exodus5: We PMed already, so I assume you're gonna be hyped what happens here.
robert32514: There can be more awesome. Dark and evil awesome.
Guest aka The Crimson Mage: It has started, but the plot will also be going hand in hand with Hereafter, since the Justice League is also featured there. The main events of this story will take place shortly after it and it is important for the Justice League that everyone knows what they learn there.
Scott: The first few chapters will be a bridge between the two stories and have Harry, Ron and Hermione, all adults with jobs in the Ministry of Magic, reconnecting with Clark. That fact that Harry and Ron are aurors is a needed factor how they will be liaising with the Justice League when it hits the fan. Sorry that it won't be Zod as the main villain, but the bad guys will be much bigger than him! There was the cast list as a teaser in my profile hinting who they will be, but by now I will have taken it down. But don't worry, I will update it every time new characters will be introduced.
NOW GO READ HEREAFTER! If you don't know the side of which unfolds the threat, you will just be left confused.
