New Power Stone goal: 0/400 (For extra chapter)

Harry facepalmed as his carefully laid plans all dissolved before his eyes. His parents weren't supposed to return for another few hours and Sirius was supposed to keep them occupied... A strange lethargy suffused him before he dragged his hand down his face.
"It was a dinner mum." He deadpanned.
"Don't lie to your mother..." James chided lightly as he kneeled over Remus, his right hand clasping the front of his shirt whilst his left hand softly slapped Remus over the cheeks continuously. Sirius was barely holding back snorts at his best friend's antics.
"Thank you James. Now, you will tell me what was happening young man, or so help me..." She threatened righteously. Harry just shrugged and stabbed the last piece of his steak, eating it whilst looking directly at her. They may be his parents but he'd never been raised by them or grew up with them.
"I was confronting the scum who stole from me, my family and aided Dumbledore." He drawled out as Lily winced. Her cheeks had flushed in embarrassment as she watched Moody start moving Albus's robes back and forth, searching for his wand.Â
"Oh... Y-you didn't want us involved?" She stuttered out as her heart clenched at the thought of her son not wanting them around.
Harry sighed and mellowed his emotions out, his hatred slowly slipping away into the background as he regarded his mother. "It wasn't so much that I didn't want you involved, I mainly wished for you to enjoy life since you've lost a considerable amount of time sitting below the house." He said in a softened tone.
"We want to be a part of your life Harry... Even if it is the less savoury parts..." She finally reach his side and drew him into a hug, her chin resting atop his head.
"Fine then." He slouched backwards in his seat slightly, feeling more at ease than he had ever felt before. His mother seemed to have a power over his moods, he swore up and down that this was the case.
Moody grunted in satisfaction as he cut open the cuff of the headmaster's robes, his wand holster shimmering ethereally, the cloaking function having been damaged from the cut or the force lightning. The old auror whipped his wand directly at the holster and muttered an incantation before a field of static energy promptly zapped into existence around the old wizard.
"The old bastard actually listened to my advice!" Moody exclaimed in mild surprise, an edge of annoyance sprinkling his expression.Â
Just as he finished speaking the field collapsed inwards upon Dumbledore and twisted space around him. Harry tried to stand but was accidently held down by Lily who was watching the whole event in minor shock.
*pop*
Albus Dumbledore has disappeared in a swirl of folded space, an emergency portkey being the source of this power. Molly fell soon after as Harry's control over the force stuttered at the horrible turn of events.
A screech of pain wafted out from the thieving matriarch but was completely ignored by the young Sith Lord as his anger swirled over his face in a foul concoction of annoyance, frustration and inconsolable disappointment. He had the old fucker within his grasp, had him knocked down in a moment of weakness... Had converted the majority of his forces to his own side or at the very least, a side completely independent to the old coot's... And now he was free to plan, free to plot against him and his family.
"FUCK!" He raged as Lily stumbled back in shock at what had just happened.Â
"That was our fault, wasn't it...?" James mumbled out with a wince just as Remus finally started to stir, his face bright red with the amount of slaps the older Potter had given him.
"Harrison, you must move with immediacy." Arcturus began, "Claim your family seat and call an emergency Wizengamot meeting... You need to immediately start isolating that old cunts positions and powers as soon as possible." He finished succinctly.
"I would also suggest, Heir Black, that you and your... God Father... contact the old alliances of house Black and call upon their life debts." Walburga suggested magnanimously, only spitting at the god father part of her suggestion.
"Dad, do you want to cause some chaos?" Harry turned to James, his eyes dancing in the promise of vengeance and chaos.
James smirked evilly. "Sure! Who doesn't love that?"Â
Lily blinked a few times before scowling at her husband and huffing. "Bloody Potters and their streak of pranking..." She grumbled out.
"I'm going to claim the Pendragon, Ravenclaw and Slytherin seats. You will officially reclaim your position as Lord Potter. Sirius, you will join us at Gringotts in your dog form before becoming the official Lord Black. Mum, we'll have you do a bloodline test and see if we can't find another seat... Once that is done I'll do as Arcturus has suggested and call a session... From there, people will learn that the Blacks and Potters are back." Harry declared before turning around towards the unconscious forms of his former friends.
"Moody, could you check everyone for mind magics and compulsions? I do not think they all betrayed me and their principles on their own, perhaps they needed some assistance." The old auror grinned maliciously before kneeling next to Hermione and bringing his gnarled old wand to her forehead, muttering the words to spells rapidly.
"Wonderful thought Harry!" Sirius gushed out as Remus groaned, his eyes fluttering open finally.
"What Hippogriff hit me?" The werewolf groaned out.
"I don't know, he fled through the kitchen though." James snarkily replied before helping his friend sit up.
"James...? Am I still dreaming?" Remus rubbed his eyes before looking back at the smirking face of his old, supposedly dead, friend.
"Nope Moony! Well, not more than usual anyway." The marauder mused happily as Lily stepped up behind him.
"What the fuck? How is this possible!?"
"Magic~! " Potter teasingly declared as he a clapped his hands and splayed them upwards, sparks exploding from his hands outwards.
"Fuck you." Remus stated bizarrely.
Tonks finally finished processing what was happening and finally snapped. "HARRY! EXPLAIN!"
Said Sith turned to her and grinned, his emotions being submerged deeper and deeper inside himself. "Only if you go on a date with me." He sighed out, attempting to tease her amidst his bitter frustration at the evening's failings. Unfortunately for him the Metamorphmagus blushed as she heard him, her hair turning a bright yellow-orange before turning purple and eventually settling on a pink-purple.
"O-o-okay!" She squeaked out. She had been wanting to get closer to Harry for a while now and just hadn't been able to summon enough courage... He had unknowingly just given her a push that never would have happened if he didn't offer.
Harry's smirk expanded into a perfect 'O' as he looked at her in shock.
"HAH! Way to go Harry!!!" Sirius cried out in pride, James whistling at his son's ability to score women.
"Oh? Nymphadora...? Is that you?" Lily asked innocently, her expression a mix between intrigued and proud.Â
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Tonks shouted out before realising who had asked, immediately biting her lips in concern.
"Why...? It is a lovely name..." Lily responded in confusion.
Harry rolled his eyes at the chaos the meeting had turned into. It was typical that everything went to shit. He should have expected that after experiencing every single year of his own life so far... And Riddle's at that...
'I think I understand why Drecarios says 'Fuck my life' a lot now.' He thought ruefully as his parents, his uncles and Tonks slowly started a conversation. The rest of the order were just hanging in the background waiting for someone to realise that they still existed.
With a roll of his shoulders he stood up and walked over to the 'order' and started speaking to them individually. Life was hard for a Sith Lord sometimes...

 Discordia had found out a lot about herself and her powers in the last day. You see, after her father unleashed Athena upon the terrorists and effectively threatened the world with extreme violence if they didn't get their asses in line, she had been directed to clean up the political side of the equation.
This was where she had found her first power, granted to her from her father's new abilities. She had started with a campaign of posts across several media platforms that brought to light evidence against the US government pertaining to aiding and abetting Terrorism. Then she had framed the state of the country and its increasingly expensive living standard as being caused by these corrupt politicians and their secret cabals.
None of it was technically inaccurate or lying, just a touch of exaggeration here and there. But that was when the first consequence of the name 'Discordia' came into effect... Because the posts had caused such a cacophony of reactions that public opinion was slowly shifting into the positive for Frostborn Dynamics and the family; The AIs, her and her father. This 'cacophony' was almost magically replenishing as it dragged hundreds of millions of people from across the globe into the discussion.
The second example of her powers came a little later when she had a spontaneous interview with Fox News. Almost immediately they were trying to paint the company as ruthless mercenaries and unscrupulous executioners... Not technically wrong, but grating to hear nonetheless. Naturally she had started to explain the perspective of the company and her father... Her words were seemingly far more effective than they should have been as the reporter, who had been so convinced of the company's fault and liability, suddenly gained a pensive expression whilst their questions started becoming more exploratory with regards to their reasons and the legality of what they were doing.
She had the power to cause instability in a person's perspectives and point of views, making them more malleable to her perspective. It was, somewhat intoxicating to use... But she shrugged off the sensation at the time in order to complete the interview.
 The last example of her new powers, that she had found, was the ability to mirk facts to her own advantage. Her discovery of this power was when she was on the phone with the president of the USA. He had asked her for some accountability and she had been able to dissuade him from that line of questioning with a single, chaotic, query as to the validity of their information... He had immediately answered her before pausing and inquiring whether she thought their information network had been compromised.
A smirk came to her face as she remembered the titillating feeling of making someone forget their original line of questioning in favour of another, that she chose. Yes, the day had been annoying... But it had certainly brought to light some intriguing abilities.

Barriss left the training room just as I sat down in a meditative pose. We had just finished our sparring for the day, my apprentice retiring in hopes of finishing the last of Darth Traya's Holocron.
Her training was going very well of late. She had finally abandoned the majority of the Jedi teachings of emotional constraint and had started channelling her feelings into her movements. Unfortunately for her this was just the start of her path to breaking her chains. Soon she needed to use the Sith Force powers in tandem with her saber forms, otherwise she would forever be harassed by the Dark Side of the force.
'Peace is a lie, there is only truth. Through truth, I understand my passion. Through understanding, I gain clarity. Through clarity, I gain power. Through power, I shape my chains. Through will, I choose to break them. ' I reiterated inside my mind as I contemplated my situation.
Apollo had recently started creating an advertisement for Rimecrest, using a fraction of his computational power to develop artificial representations of how someone could live on Rimecrest. It was a part of the immigration efforts for the station. He had pointed out that many people would not risk their lives moving into outer space without reassurances and evidence of the station being safe and liveable.
His efforts had culminated in a stunning ten minute video that revealed all of the prospects for people wishing to move there as well as the services and amenities that would be available.Â
Next was Artemis, who had set up a list of her own points for the immigration criteria. It included analysing their technology for any illicit material, doing intense background checks and an acceptance to an ID system of her own making once they started living in Rimecrest. I was honestly surprised at how little she wanted.
The creation of my own city-state/country was close to completion. I had ordered a moon base to be constructed over the next week, on the opposite side of the already founded city. The base would serve as a mining colony and town on its own. Most of the structure would be subterranean with landing pads and the main command centre being above ground in the form of a skyscraper landing pad. A name had yet to be chosen for the town but we had some time before it was complete.Â
I sighed and went through a complex process of pouring through all of my scanned designs before I paused and considered my next steps.
Star Wars had given me power generation, information, science, manpower through droids, Faster than light capability, Starships, advanced weaponry and a way to create Multiversal portals in tandem with Lantean technology from Samantha's universe. I lacked terraforming capabilities however and I needed to expand the amount of materials and experimentation I conducted.Â
I was in a bind. Soon I would need to complete the mission on Harry's world and that would take some time. Controlling the direction of my expansion would be impossible whilst I was dealing with wizards and magical bullshit. Experimentation would only be stifled in the way of technology, not so much on the magical side of things... A silver lining. Unfortunately there was a lot of things that were happening here that could also use my attention. The Avengers for instance... I didn't know how they would react to my display of force.
Pepper was still out cold, her body having entered a small recuperative coma in order to build her energy reserves once again. Tony had been taken to Dr. Steven Strange for immediate evaluation and possible surgery... This version of Iron Man 3's events apparently left some damage to Tony's brain.
'Wait... Is this a version of Tony that learn magic?' I asked myself abruptly, my thoughts all stopping for a moment until I shrugged away the thought. It wouldn't matter anyway since he already at technomancy...
'WAIT! The MOTHERBOX!' I stood up immediately and reached through the internet towards Jarvis.
"A-ah? Mr Drecarios, what can I do for you?" The AI stuttered for a moment before asking.
"The Motherbox, where is it?" I nervously questioned.
"Artemis has arranged for Discordia to acquire the box and bring it to Mr. Stark." Jarvis stated.
"Nope!" I broke off the connection and figuratively tapped Artemis on the shoulder, my daughter turning towards me in surprise as a video of two women kissing played behind her. I ignored the porn however and simply continued my thought.
"Artemis, I want you to call off Discordia with regards to the Motherbox. I will go grab it myself." My daughter nodded quickly, embarrassment flaring through her as the sound of two women moaning in the background carried through her servers, turning some of the darker spaces bright pink. "Also, I'd like to state that your tastes are very good." I smirked at her and vanished from her servers, my vision returning to normal as I strode out of the training room.
"Hermes could you call my driver around?" There was no answer to my question as a simple thumbs-up flashed on my watch, caduceus hanging behind the emoji. I rolled my eyes as I entered my personal elevator and set off for the ground floor. It was time to go ensure a Mother box wasn't left to its own devices...
