Chapter 40.1- One Thousand Hands

Izuku did not feel good. There was a ringing in his head that refused to go away. A ringing that did not get any better by the sound of metal on metal that intruded on his sleep. He wanted to shout at Uzume and her brother to get out of his garden and go bother someone else before he realised he wasn’t napping in his garden. The ground was much too hard, not the rich mineral filled loamy soil that he had imported all the way from the capital. Also the sound of metal on metal was not gunbai ...

Chapter 44.1- And so the Dragons Danced

Ships being spotted on the Horizon didn’t mean that the ships were close by. In fact, it would take another few hours for the ships to make it to the port. That meant I had time to put things in order. The first thing I considered was summoning the Generals and revealing what had happened to Ozai to them, but I had hours, and that cancakterous lot would be fine keeping me there with their arguing and debating. Besides, we were technically in rebellion against the throne as present so there ...

Chapter 43- And so the Dragons Danced (Complete)

This time, when they crashed, it was not elegant. It was not artistic, the kind of thing you’d find in a painting or a tapestry, but it was beautiful nonetheless. There was a savagery to it, an animalistic intensity. Iroh was enraged by the words Natsu had told him both before their fight and during. Natsu himself? He had no rage on his bearing, but he had a hunger. The hunger an alpha feels when matched with a contender. He had the hunger for putting down this threat to his dominance, exce...

Chapter 20: Doom Days- The Yule Ball Begins

Beyond doing some rounds when I was certain Sirius wasn’t looking, I hadn’t done any dancing practice at all. One reason was that I hadn’t the time for that when I had my studies into magic, duelling with Flitwick, and studying his memories in the pensieve to juggle along with preparing for what the tournament would toss at me. The other reason was that I knew Sirius would have a field day with laughing at me if he ever got to see it, and so I decided that discretion would be the better...

Chapter 39- One Thousand Hands (Complete)

He moved, and from his fingers flew a scroll that sailed in the air as it unfurled itself for a few seconds. Shika looked at the script in the scroll, and it was only her memories of that very first class with Shori that allowed her guess what the scroll was about to do. “Close your eyes” She called out to her teammates while clenching her eyes closed. The flashing went off, and she could see the bright light even through her eyelids, and would probably be blinking spots out of her vision...

Chapter 20.6- Doom Days

“Your nephew? Krum?” I replied in perfect Russian, making surprise flash across his face. Surprise that Fudge shared, I could tell from the sides of my eyes. Fleur squeezed my hand and I squeezed hers back.

“Exactly. He is my sister’s son. His father is not the brightest tool in the shed” the man said, not even hesitating to insult his in-law in such a public forum. I guess this was a private enough conversation, only Dumbledore, Krum, and the Asian woman were following the wo...

Chapter 43.6- And so the Dragons Danced

I watched them for a few minutes longer before I turned around to leave. They still had another two hours of practice left for today, but that would be supervised by their commanding officers. It was on my way out that I ran into Ping, the messenger.

“This letter came in for you, General Natsu, it bears the insignia of the fire nation royal family” He said, and I nodded before taking the sealed scroll from him. So a messenger hawk had finally made the journey. I debated opening it ...

Chapter 39.6- One Thousand Hands

The bolt of electricity leapt from his outstretched fingers to his opponent’s body, and it was only the sharingan that allowed him to see what happened in real time. The electricity hit him, and instead of shocking him like it would to every other fucking human, he used his chakra to carry the electricity through his body and harmlessly down into the ground. So shocked by what had happened, Izuku never even saw the knee that slammed into his midsection, even if he did feel it just as surely...

Chapter 20.5- Doom Days

“Next up, we have Germany’s Emile Sukovsky. He mentioned having some questions about runic magic or something like that earlier, so I’ll let him ask it because most of it went completely over my head” Fudge said, gesturing to another man. This one looked about as different from the man next to him as possible. For one, his hair was blonde- high at the top and cropped short at the sides with no facial hair to speak of at all, revealing a handsome face that made him look like he was in ...

Chapter 39.5- One Thousand Hands

He leaned into her attack, not allowing her bring her kunai to bear and slamming the hilt of his blade into her stomach, making her double over from the pain, and then he kicked her backwards, sending her flying. Izuku put down Kuro’s body as gently as he could before body flickering towards Uzume and grabbing a hold of her before she slammed into the Oak tree behind them. She shrugged off his grip once she came to, and put a glowing hand on her stomach, healing what he could tell were a co...

Chapter 43.5- And so the Dragons Danced

X-

The next few weeks passed without any news from the capital. I spent my time in a cross between training with Azula, sparring against Toji and Toph at the same time, and whipping my soldiers into shape. A Prince laid dead at my hands, and for some reason, that fact had made the other generals fall in line even more than anything else. My best guess was that the fact that Azula stuck so stubbornly to my sides even after I had killed her family member meant that they were beginning to...

Chapter 43.4- And so the Dragons Danced

XXXXX- NATSU

There was no news from the Homeland. It had been a week since the eclipse, and there was no news. I was getting antsy, but I wasn’t the main problem. The problem was currently pacing her way to wearing a hole in the carpet of the solar I had since claimed as mine. The repairs in the castle were proceeding at a snail’s pace so I didn’t want her causing any unnecessary damage.

“You can sit down, Azula” I told her with a sigh, and her head snapped right up to...

Chapter 20.4- Doom Days

“Of course of course” Even Fudge could take a hint if it was clear enough. He ceded the point with a bowed head before perking up again as the man opposite him coughed pointedly.

“Yes Harry, I promised to make introductions and I have been a bit remiss in my duty by taking so long to getting down to it. Please do accept my apologies, Gentlemen” He said to the men arrayed around the table, and they nodded. “And lady” he said, tilting his head to the asian woman in shining wh...

Chapter 39.4- One Thousand Hands

He landed on the floor and found himself immediately facing the wrath of an aggressive Inuzuka. Inukuro’s body moved in a flash as he sent multiple furious swipes aimed at carving through his opponent while Piandao weathered the storm with a patience that Izuku had to admit was impressive. He calmly gave ground while making sure that he never found himself vulnerable to being touched Kuro’s claws. Under the influence as he was, Kuro’s already impressive claws were like knives in the way...

Chapter 20.3- Doom Days

“Over here, Harry” A voice called out as we walked towards the table. My head snapped straight to him, the portly man had swapped his bowler’s hat for a top hat that did as good a job of covering his receding hairline as the hat it was replacing. The British Minister of Magic was dressed in a formal pair of Black robes that were well-made, but came nowhere close to matching the luxury of mine. The reality of a civil servant’s salary, I guess. Made me wonder what exactly all those brib...

Chapter 43.3- And so the Dragons Danced

From the moment the lightning hit him, it was clear that Natsu was struggling to keep up with the channeling. Toji could see arcs of lightning dancing across his body as he tried to redirect it. In the end, he feel to his knees with the lightning still in his body. And then from his knees, he fell to the floor face first.

“Natsu!!!” That scream. His head snapped to the other side of the garden, the other balcony and found Toph there, body covered in sewage for some reason. That was...

Chapter 39.3- One Thousand Hands

XXXX- IZUKU UCHIHA

This was a terrible idea, he thought as he and his cousin ran across the grasslands of the Land of Rivers to catch up to their quarry and head off his approach.

“This is a terrible idea’” he told her again. It was a breach of usual protocol to speak outlaid during a situation like this, but if they were being observed, they’d know. The third member of their group scoffed at his words and Izuku was barely able to prevent himself from facepalming.

Chapter 20.2- Doom Days

 I was drawn from my thoughts as the pitch of the music changed, aqand I and Fleur moved our bodies with it, switching from fast paced movements to a slower waltz as I drew her body even closer to mine. I cooed feel every breath she took, every beat of her heart clashed against mine until we began to breath in unison just as we moved in unison, just as our heart eventually began to beat in unison two halves of one greater, beautiful whole. The music came to an end far too quickly for my ...

Chapter 43.2- And so the Dragons Danced

Iroh did not remain down for long. He pushed down against the floor and practically came flying to his feet, before he turned to Natsu with rage in his eyes. “They call you the thunderer. Only because they have never seen lightning when conjured by the bloodline of Sozin.” Those words were the only warning before he stood straight and took a stance that Toji did not recognise- of course the words made it easy enough for him to figure out the intention. The man began to move his fingers al...

Chapter 39.2- One Thousand Hands

The human -ish face became less so as the mouth opened up to reveal a nuzzle.

“Get down” she was sure she yelled at her teammates but she couldn’t hear herself so it was more of a hope than anything else. She ducked and rolled, moving out of the way of fire. Choni slammed her foot into the ground and lifted a wall of earth that took the brunt of the flamethrower with no problems. She noted that Inoken had taken cover behind Choni’s earth wall as well. She pulled on their telepa...

TWO MONTHS INTO THE SECOND GREAT SHINOBI WAR

“I’m surprised it took them this long to get this desperate” I said, while giving Shika a significant look. She’d seen this coming, but had expected it to happen as early as a month ago. They had sent sixteen different teams out. The last time, they even sent two teams out at the same time in the hopes of confusing our surveillance but that had done nothing to help their situation. They had widened their patrol routes to the point whe...

Chapter 19- Doom Days: The Yule Ball

Dark green robes, a smart cloak of the same colour around my shoulders and a watch from Sirius’ family vault that he assured me had been the work of a famous wizarding Horologist made the entirety of ensemble for the yule ball. A simple bit of self-transfiguration gave my hair the last few inches of length it needed to look good in a topknot. I’d found that tying my hair up was one of the few ways to remove it from its naturally messy state out there. Tying it back in a ponytail didn’t ...

Chapter 42- And so the Dragons Danced (Complete)

There was so much chaos around them that she couldn’t even make heads or tails of what was going on. Everything had begun according to plan. Masters Pakku, Jeong-Jeong, Piandao, and Zuko’s Uncle had left to the Earth Kingdom to free Ba Sing Se while she, Sokka, Aang, Bato and their allies went towards the Fire Nation. While their friends attacked the Gates of Azulon, it was her, Sokka, and Aang that had gotten on Appa to make the journey to the volcano that the Royal Family had retreated ...

Chapter 19.6- Doom Days

“It’s a wonderful present” Mcgonagall complimented while giving me a look I couldn’t interpret- it was equal parts wistful, like she was looking at me and seeing someone else, and pained, like what she was seeing brought her some amount of pain.

“Thank you, Professor” I said, while taking Fleur’s arm in mine and leading her to take our place in the line of champions. Once again, Sirius had been right, I thought to myself with a wry smile. With her heels on, Fleur’s head...

Chapter 38.6- One Thousand Hands

She didn’t get the opportunity to say anything to either of her teammates before the puppet flew out of the tent and went right for Choni. The wrong choice, Shika mentally thought in a celebratory tone as her teammate’s hand grew to an immense size before swatting the flying blur straight out of the air. That didn’t seem to do much to take away from the puppeteer’s plans as the ground beneath Inoken erupted, revealing a snake that moved to swallow her teammate in one swoop. Both Inoke...

Chapter 42.6- And so the Dragons Danced

Jeong-Jeong and Natsu exchanged fiery blows at a speed that most would have struggled to keep up with. So far, Toji had found the white haired man to be the least impressive of Natsu’s assailants- not including the Earthbender who clearly didn’t belong in a fight of this level- bu it was turning out that the man had hidden depths of power that were just waiting to be unleashed. Natsu’s green flames overwhelmed Jeong-Jeong’s when the two men punched at each other at the same time, but ...

XXXXX- SHIKAHIME NARA

She almost could not believe her eyes. Hundreds of chunin approached Shori and he was somehow holding them off for the time being. She had no idea how long that would last for, but he was doing his part so she would do hers. She turned to Choni and Inoken, her genin teammates, her friends and only her eyes were enough to convey her intentions. The link that Inoken had formed between them when they became chunin - when they got the earrings that they now proudly wor...
