Morian Knott, cousin to the Nott family, was worried. Ever since the failure to retrieve Potter everything had gone wrong. Every dragon on the planet had vanished, along with the Gringotts dragons as well. Trolls, giants, hippogriffs, unicorns, thestrals and even the centaurs were vanishing all over the planet. Rumors of a strange golden arch would appear and the creatures would just step through them and then it the creatures would fly or run through and before anyone could get near the gate it would close. Now he was being blamed for it because of what he tried to do to Potter. They couldn't even use the ministry's forbidden library because Potter had stolen it during his break in to destroy the special time room they had built. Now this new report said all the Dementors were gone from the ministry prisons. It had the DMLEs in an uproar around the world.

His niece Melisa was hounding him to find Potter but everything they tried was showing that he was dead; but she wouldn't believe the reports, unless she had his body in front of her. By the Goddess Morganna, why did his sister spoiler her so much? He was rubbing his forehead when his secretary burst in.

"Minister, the ministry house elves have vanished," she said.

Morian slammed his head onto the desk in front of him and cried about why was it happening to him. He didn't know it but his time as minister was numbered in days, and not the years it once was.

Around the planet, messages were delivered, and certain families were told to pack their belongings if they wanted to live. The note suggested that they buy as much magical supplies and food as they could.

One elderly woman who was watching over her grandson received the message. She smiled as she read it, and then started to prepare as the message had told her. On the other side of the planet, a young woman who was half drunk pried her eyes open, and tried to focus on the letter in front of her, but it would take several hours before the bushy haired woman would be able to read the letter that had been left for her and it would be several days before she could even think straight, as she tried to kick the habit of being drunk every day since the war ended.

Inside the Hogwarts, Minerva McGonagall read the letter that had appeared on her desk during the night. She had a long talk with her deputy head, Filius Flitwick and the head elf. She found out she had to prepare the entire castle. When were they leaving? They didn't know and that was worrying her as she had a lot of friends and students she had taught out there in the world, and she wondered if they would be notified.

On a sinister note, a planet called Carida would become the home of the vampire covens and they would be released from stasis five years after the destruction of Earth. The Gods were not pleased with the so called Dark Jedi and Carida would become the main training facility for the Imperial Storm Troopers for the imperial military after the small population was removed or sold into slavery so they dealt with the problem the planet would become, unfortunately, it wasn't the only planet that would become a military academy, just the worst in their books.

On another, ethereal plane, the Gods of the different pantheons were gathering to wait the word from their leaders who were meeting together to determine what to do and how to do it. One God demanded that where they were going be erased from the memories of the humans that were going to be saved, so the time line of the new universe they were heading to couldn't be affected. Not all humans would be saved but some. There was just no way the Gods could transport six billion souls through one gate.

Equipment from Earth would be sent so they could rebuild, as well as stores of supplies and food so they could survive. Using their magic, the Gods started building town on each planet to house the people. The houses wouldn't be spectacular, nor would they be lavish, but each family would be given a house, apartment, or flat, to call home. The gods would try and match people that would work together on the new planet but it was as a crap shoot if they would get along. Billions would die to allow a few to live.

Harry watched out the main window of the ship as she dove towards the planet below. Aayla was at the controls and they were following Sirius in the Prongs as it bled off its speed. They leveled out at two thousand meters and headed towards a forest that had trees taller than one hundred meters some were close to two hundred in spots. He had never seen such tall trees in his life. The Prongs came to a stop over a small clearing that did not look large enough to hold two ships but when the Prongs vanished in the depths of darkness, the leading edge of the forest vanished and the clearing was now over a hundred meters wide. They could see instead a lake below and the Prongs was hovering just above the water and then turned to the right and into the forest.

Aayla brought the ship down and turned to follow the Prongs and down a passage in the trees where in the distance they saw a large house, wrapped around and going up a tree. The Prongs landed to the right of the house so Aayla landed to the left while Shaak Ti landed her freighter between them, but well clear of the house.

The type H freighter that Shaak Ti rode, followed their friends into the planet's atmosphere and then down to the surface, to where they hovered over a lake and then vanished into the forest. Dropping down she saw that the forest canopy made a natural tunnel and she could see the engine glow from Aayla's ship so she followed them into a larger area and watched as the two ships landed and then she settled their freighter onto a third landing platform made out of one of the huge trees. She quickly shut the ship's systems down, and they exited the craft and joined up with their new friends. Sirius would lead them into his house and summon the other adults in the small village. There were forty-one families that lived within two kilometers of Sirius' house and they represented two hundred and ten citizens. The meeting would go throughout the evening but they would welcome the survivors of the Jedi purge and any force sensitive's or witches and wizards that could be rescued. They did not know that they were in for when they made that agreement.

Out in space, they gathered from all over the universe, the survivors of the betrayal of Palpatine. First it was the two cruisers from the temple carrying the children and their history. This was followed by the masters and padawans who were assigned to the armies of the Republican Army as well as their friends.

One of the cruisers was currently docked with one of the medical frigates and in the medical ward, a young woman was giving birth to her twins. In another dimension the labor would have been long, taking almost sixteen hours for her to deliver her son and daughter into the universe full of war but instead she had to have an emergency cesarean. They would be named Luke and Leia by their dying mother, but in this one, she was alive and healthy and holding on to her babies. The Jedi council would try to take them away but Jedi Masters Ben Kenobi and Grand Master Yoda had said no and with Yoda the senior surviving council member, his will was obeyed.

They waited for days hiding just inside the edge of a nebula, as ships as small as Starfighters to great lumbering freighters joined them. Ships for the first time since the Ruusan Reformation, which forced the Jedi to give up their battle armor, renounce all their military ranks, disband their army, navy and Starfighter forces. The Jedi had been split into multiple groups: Agricultural, Medical, Educational, Exploration Corps and the Academy of Jedi Archaeology. They were finally uniting for the first time since then. What was once a group of a hundred thousand Jedi led by their commander in chief became a shattered force that could have been wiped out by the Supreme Chancellor's Order 66. Now they needed to regroup, find a place to hide, and rebuild. Jedi Master Shaak Ti thought she had a place, and would let them know; but, for now, they would wait until she contacted them.

Harry watched as the elves went to work building houses up the sides of the trees that had been selected. Deep in the forest, giant trees were leveled by the elves and turned into timber for the houses they would build. The houses would be timber frames and built using dove tail, brace, cross beams, mortises and everything else used in the construction of homes. Glass would be formed using elf magic into panes and set in place while cross bridges would connect them at several levels and they even built a farm for the Balkin family. They would allow their son Gabion when he turned eleven to learn magic if he wished, but for now, the family of five would farm a clearing about four miles from Sirius' home. They also adopted the three month old baby girl they rescued from the orphanage, and the four year old boy.

For now, Sirius and his wife were heading out on a mission with several trunks that had massive expansion charms on the inside and set up as dormitories while Harry, Aayla and Luna were heading for a planet that dealt with farming supplies they would need to help supply the new colony they were building with the equipment needed to produce food. They too had some modified trunks to hide survivors so they wouldn't be found by the new empire and be slaughtered. The trunk would hide them from sensor scans, also.

Vader stood on the bridge of his flagship the Executioner, a Venator class star destroyer, and watched as the stars flew by. He had spent hours meditating and now they were heading for a small system of planets that intelligence had supposedly determined his former padawan was heading for or was currently on. If so, he would kill her and any 'force sensitives' that lived on the planet, as the Emperor had ordered, before heading back out to find his former master so he could kill him and any other Jedi he came across. Not once did he think of his dead wife, or so he thought she was. His former master had tried to kill him, and had failed. The next time they met, it would be a different story.

Aayla landed the Phoenix in the hanger as the traffic controller had ordered. As she was shutting down the ship, Harry hit her with a color changing charm that turned her red. She was about to protest, when Harry reminded her that the clones were looking for a blue Jedi Twi'lek not a red one. She nodded and followed Harry out to where Luna and Barriss were waiting in the passenger section of the ship. Harry cast a glamour charm on Barriss, turning her into a human. Both Aayla and Barriss slipped their light sabers into enchanted pockets on their pants and strapped blaster's around their waist as Luna opened the book of names and saw fourteen names light up.

"How many names are in the book, Luna?" Harry asked.

"There are fourteen, eight of which are in or near this town. The rest are on the other side of the planet," Luna replied as she looked up from the book.

"Damn! Okay, Aayla, take one of the droids with you and buy the thirty tons of supplies we need. You have the list on your data pad. We will try and convince the children's parents that their kids are in danger," Harry ordered and then the four of them left the ship.

Harry and Luna went first to the space depot and paid the landing fee. They asked to top off their fuel and told the port official they were there for supplies for a small settlement that had no space port.

Ten hours later, using a few compulsion spells, they had the last of the prospective students and families aboard the Phoenix, along with their belongings. These had been shrunken by the house elves, including two mechanic's shops. The next day they flew to the other town where they gathered the remaining seven, and more supplies. Aayla called and reported that three star destroyers had entered the system he hurried to get the last family to the ship.

Harry watched on the main screen at one of the bars as a dozen imperial shuttles landed at the space port and then looked at the single name still glowing in the book. Aayla had hidden the students and their families in the hide-away trunk as Harry worked his way back to the ship. The elves had remained with Harry as they tried to find the Jedi that was hiding in the town. He was also finishing the list of items that the girls wanted and then would proceed back to the hanger so they could take off and leave the planet after they found the Jedi.

Harry had just finished the shopping that the girls had needed when he felt the presence of evil and a figure radiating fear. Looking around he frowned and tried to pinpoint the locations and finally saw the young Togruta female that Aayla had shown a picture of slipping through the crowds. Behind her he saw movement and a man appeared wearing black armor clutching a red light saber in his hand he was flanked by four clone warriors. He was using the force to throw people out of his way. He knew instantly that this was the dreaded executioner for the Emperor, Darth Vader former Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker and he was after his former Padawan. With a gesture, he sent his clone warriors down separate alleys to flank his target.

Moving to a nearby alley, Harry said, "Have one of the elves follow that Togruta the rest of you cover me.

"Yes, Master," came a quite response and he felt eyes sweep over him as the elf popped away.

Vader looked around. He had felt a strange disturbance in the force. He knew not what had caused it, but was sure there was a force user nearby other than his former padawan. Stopping, he concentrated on the force, but couldn't determine where it was coming from and then decided to continue the chase of Asoka. She would either join the emperor or die.

Harry stepped back out, his wand ready in his holster as he looked at Vader in disgust. Vader had turned away to follow the Togruta and Harry followed Vader. Vader was heading towards the spaceport and the lower class lodging for the crews of ships that landed on the planet. Vader stopped in front of a rundown inn, and then entered the building. Harry quietly followed. When he entered Vader had his hand around the owner's neck and demanding the room number of the Togruta and the man couldn't answer because he was being force choked and then Harry heard the snap and the man dropped to the floor dead.

"Bastard," Harry said aloud, so Vader could hear him.

Vader turned around to see who had insulted him and his eyes locked on to the man in the doorway.

"You would do wise to stay out of my affairs," Vader said.

"Whatever, Skywalker. You're nothing but a bloody coward," Harry replied.

"That name is dead. I don't know how you know it, but you will die," Vader replied as his light saber lit up.

The bright red beam swished as Vader gave it a slash and a nearby patron was sliced in half.

"Ohhh, I'm so scared. See me 'shiver me timbers,'" Harry replied with scorn in his voice.

Vader was angry, and he rushed towards the man, swinging his sword and then suddenly he was flying back to slam against the wall, which stunned him for a second. The man he had charged, hadn't moved an inch. His right arm had hit one of the posts and his saber had flown out of his robotic hand. Shaking his head he stood up and summoned his saber, but it didn't come to him and he looked for it but couldn't see it.

"Good job, Poppy, now get the girl out of here and to the mountain house," Harry used the code word, to have people think they were going out of town, instead of to the ship.

"Right away, Master," Poppy replied and everyone heard the pop of displaced air.

Upstairs, Poppy appeared and grabbed the wounded Togrutan girl and popped her to the ship, leaving her with Aayla to hide her in the trunk. He popped back to find his master under attack by Vader wielding the leg of a broken table. Harry was dodging the attack and Poppy waited until Vader was in front of the large plate glass window and with a flick of her hand she sent him flying through the window and down the street where he slammed into a cargo carrier vehicle denting the side of the container.

While Vader shook his head and tried to recover from the surprise attack, Poppy popped Harry out of the building and back to an alley near the ship, while the two other elves continued to fling Vader down the street into walls, vehicles, and light poles. While they did this they were calling him oath breaker, bad husband, murder, and many other names. Eventually, they received word from Poppy, and they popped back to the ship leaving a stunned Darth Vader behind them, inside the box of a vehicle used to remove garbage.

The dark blue and bronze ship sitting in the hanger had Aayla and Luna with fourteen young force/magical sensitive children and their families inside one of the magical trunks on board. They were waiting for Harry to arrive. Going up the ramp Harry nodded to Luna, who quickly closed the ramp.

"Did we get everyone?" Harry asked Luna who had the book of names on a cord, around her neck.

"Yes, we have all fourteen future students and their families that wanted to go. Those who wanted nothing to do with the children I modified their memories. The cargo bay is packed with thirty tons of food supplies and we're ready to leave. I also bought a dozen speeders and all the farming machinery I could, and shrank them down after I disconnected their power supplies, so the magic wouldn't interfere with them," Luna said.

"Good, get everyone settled. We take off five minutes after the inspection," Harry ordered as he headed for the cockpit and sat in the copilot's seat while Aayla, who was now red due to the color change charm, was in the pilot's seat.

"We're ready to go," Harry asked and then said, "Here's a gift for you," as he dropped a light saber in her hand.

"Who's is this?" Aayla asked.

"Vader's," Harry replied.

Aayla had a shocked look on her face, and then she quickly dissembled it and found the red crystal and a tracking beacon which she watched as Harry banish it to the far mountain range.

Before they could lift off, they had to be inspected. Six clone warriors and an officer came aboard and inspected the ship for passengers or hidden contraband, they found neither. The job would take the imperials thirty minutes. Once they were off the ship, Aayla started powering up the engines. They were cleared and left alone, but two guards stood at the entrance of the hanger so the Jedi that Lord Vader wanted couldn't escape on the ship or be snuck aboard. The two clones watched as the ramp for the ship closed and steam from the anti-gravity fields started forming under the ship.

The Phoenix lifted off from the planet and roared into space. Once in space they saw the three Venator class Star Destroyers in orbit. They were challenged but they gave the response as instructed by the inspectors that they had been searched and only had cargo on board. A sensor scan of the ship confirmed only four people and that was what was listed as the crew of the ship.

Suddenly the three huge ships turned and angled their hulls and the heavy turbo lasers of the ships opened fire on the planet below. The devastating barrage slammed into a mountain range thirty kilometers outside the city and the mountain they were firing on slowly crumbled under the onslaught.

At the same time as Harry was fighting Vader, Sirius Black and his wife Neana Black had landed their XS stock light freighter called 'Prongs' on one of the public landing platforms of Coruscant. Sirius went to the port authority office, and paid the fees to rent the platform for a week.

When he returned to the ship, he found Neana with the book open. She looked up and said, "Eighty-nine candidates under the age of twelve, and one hundred over the age of seventeen. All those over seventeen are in the same location."

"Do we have location for them?" Sirius asked.

"Yes, but how are we going to contact them all in a week, buy the items on the list, and get them on the ship?"

"With this," Sirius said as he held up a time turner.

"What is that?" Neana asked.

"This is a time turner. We can use it to go back in time, up to twelve hours a day," Sirius replied.

Neana gasped out and Sirius looked at her before asking, "What's wrong?"

"There are only eight-seven now," Neana said as she pointed at two names that slowly faded out.

"Damn, they're hunting them down and killing them," Sirius said as he took the book and waved his wand on it and he saw that there were four more names in danger, "We need to hurry."

Sirius and Neana left the ship, leaving six elves waiting for their call to come to them. Before starting the rescue, he ordered twenty-five tons of building supplies for houses that would be build for the rescued magicals. They then went off to rescue the children, but it took time, of the eight-seven names on the list, they rescued eighty and killed a dozen dark Jedi's, and their clone warriors that were hunting the kids down. After each battle, Sirius would transform the bodies into small blocks, that he dropped in a bag to be disposed of. Of the eighty kids rescued, only sixty-five had their families with them to go to the new planet. The elves would pop in, shrink their belongings, and pop them and the families' right into the trunk. There, two of the elves would take care of them. As to the ones who wanted nothing to do with their children, they were memory charmed to forget them.

With the kids and their families safe, Sirius did a recon of the burned out Jedi temple. He removed a lot of the equipment inside that was still usable, by shrinking it down and storing it in several magical trunks. He also spied on the guards to try and find out if anyone was a prisoner of the new empire, but nothing was said.

.

ooOoOoo

.

Vader glared at the planet below on the screen and the humiliating battle he had against the human he had no idea who he was. His body ached from where he had been thrown into things like had never had happen to him before. He wanted vengeance and it burned in him like a smoldering fire and he would have it.

Turning, he said to the sensor officer, "Did you locate the beacon?"

"We have, my Lord," the sensor officer replied.

"Then open fire," Vader ordered.

The three giant star destroyers started belching red beams of destruction from heavy weapons that were designed to tear star ships apart. Instead, they pummeled the mountain side of the planet. Each pulse cannon tearing large chunks of the landscape it ashes.

.

ooOoOoo

.

Harry watched in shock as the three starships started firing on the planet, and anger and despair for the planets population took over.

"That is not right," Harry said, and Luna agreed with him while Aayla just worked on flying the ship. She had seen worse during the war.

Harry stood up, left the bridge and headed for his trunk. Digging inside, he found what he wanted and lifted several two pound chunk of flat slate out of the trunk, and his carving tools. He quickly worked on the slates, engraving several runes, and then powered them up before heading back to the bridge where they were just passing the three destroyers.

"Poppy!" Harry said and the female elf appeared.

"You called, Master?" Poppy asked.

"Do you see that giant ship in the center?" Harry asked.

"Yes, Master," Poppy said as she looked out the window of the cockpit.

"I want you to pop over to its engine room and several other areas. The engine room will be in the back section. Stay invisible, and look for a giant room filled with machinery like this ship has. I want you to place one of these piece of slate against the roof of the ship's room, press this rune," he ordered as he showed the elf the runes on the pink slate, "and then pop around and place the other three pieces before you pop back here once they activates. You're not to be seen. Do you understand?"

Poppy took the slates and vanished. She was back in less than two minutes, "I did as you ordered, Master."

"Thank you, Poppy;" Harry replied and then said to Aayla with a smile, "I suggest you get us out of here."

"Why?" Aayla said.

"Don't ask," Luna replied.

.

ooOoOoo

.

Aboard the star destroyer, Vader was watching the destruction of the mountain and was about to order the fleet to shift targets to the two major cities, when he noticed one of the com officers press his ear and ask something.

"Lieutenant, is something wrong?" Vader asked.

The young lieutenant looked at the menacing man in front of him, and replied with a gulp, "Sir, the ship is taking on water."
