Harry Potter Imperium Rising (2.0)

[SotF]

Harry was watching as the tank drained slowly before him, revealing the slowly breathing form of the one he had selected from the genetic samples to be the first of his Imperial Knights.

The tank opened slowly as the pressure valves released a puff of gas while the clasps holding the pale blue skin of the cloned dark jedi visible easily against the white of the back of the tank.

She collapsed to the ground, coughing as the force inhibiters within the tank deactivated last within the cloning cylinder.

Dark, damp hair draped down around her shoulders as glistening eyes the color of blood opened to the world for the first time. A look of confusion first flashed across her face before realization dawned on her.

Lord Dion motioned to Crimson who stepped forwards with a large case and placed it on the ground efore the newly reborn wielder of the force and opened it while stepping back to reveal a lightsaber and light armor fitted to a similar underdesign based off of the dark jedi robes.

She quickly dressed herself while remaining bowed before her master.

"Lady Tann," Harry stated calmly.

"Yes, my lord?"

"Rise for I have need of you," Dion stated coldly.

"I live but to serve," she responded, "What is thy bidding my master?"

The morning fog was deep and those who ere out and about would be incapable of understanding just what they were seeing, but they would fear the glimpses they did get of what came through Hogsmeade that morning.

The dense fog combined with the wards that prevented the Hogwarts Express to actually enter the grounds of the wizarding school made them land just outside of the village and treck to the castle.

Two LAAT's had been used for the mission, the first a standard transport and the other the one modified to carry prisoners.

Sev'rance Tann led both squads of Clone Commandos with her on this mission for Lord Dion, one which she would use to prove her worth to her master.

The silver hilt of her lightsaber dangled at her hip while the red armor breastplate and shoulder guards along with the boots and bracers stood out against the black cloth of the robe as well as the cape that dangled to her heels.

The arrest of the leadership of the Order of the Phoenix was an essential step in the advancement of Lord Dions goals.

The impact of rolling off the bunk was what started it.

Severus Snape felt the cold beneath him first as awareness slowly returned to him. All of his muscles throbbed almost as if they were asleep but not quite. His eyes fluttered open while he forced in a deep breath of cold air.

The place was unusual, he was on the floor in a room that seemed to be made entirely out of a dark metal of some sort that he guessed was steel, but couldn't really tell.

The only things he could make out was the few amenities including a bed, toilet, and sink. The dull light was enough to irritate him, but it was enough to clearly illuminate the room, and the position of the mirror would make the entire room visible from the grill on the door.

He could not see any marks where metal had been attached to metal making the entire room seem to be a single piece of formed metal with only the door being a seperate piece beyond things like the knob for the sink and the toilet.

Crawling slowly to his feet and sitting on the edge of the padded bed, the spy wondered just who the hell had attacked Voldemort.

A rapid attack and explosions everywhere, it was insane and it appeared a direct attack on Voldemort in a way that not even the ministry or the order had done during the first war.

The lights grew brighter and Snape reached for his wand on instinct only to find it gone.

The door seemed to vanish into a slot in the wall as a pair of white armored figures with blue kama and pauldrons as well as markings on the armor itself.

"Come with us," the one on the right stated calmly, the odd weapon carried by both pointing at the man.

The second grabbed him a moment later when he refused to move and dragged him to his feet to lead him down the darkened cooridors, the occasional glance into the other cells had him almost naming several of the inhabitants.

A third of the white armored soldiers joined the group, this ones markings in red as they left the cellblock, this one carrying two smaller but similar weapons.

His "escort" led him into a throne room lit by skylights above and a bank of windows that gave him the knoweldge of just where he was.

He was in Azkaban, how the hell did he get to Azkaban, and why had someone rebuilt the prison into a citadel of nightmares.

And more importantly, where the hell were the dementors...

"So the spy has learned just where I center my power," came a calm and deep voice that seemed far more terrifying than that of Voldemort himself.

The throne rotated slowly to face him, revealing a cowled figure sitting there amidst the storm that covered the island for the time being.

The hidden face turned to face the red armored soldier.

"Captain Hades," the voice stated, "You are dismissed, I can handle this one."

"Understood Lord Dion," came the response with a deep bow.

Hades voice was peculiarly like the voice of the blue one that had spoken earlier, the name also had what seemed almost like a rank which was unusual since only few of the ministry's groups actually used ranks.

As the three soldiers left, the ancient chamber the hidden eyes seemed to bore into him causing him to reflexively raise his occlumancy shields, but they did no good against the powerful probes that passed through them as if they weren't even there.

"Severus Snape," the cold voice of the one he now identified as Lord Dion, "You were a troublesome man to track down, but you are in my world now."

And the potions master gulped as he realized that he was wrong, he was walking headlong into hell rather than already being in it.

"Entryway secure," came the comment from Breaker commented, "Squad one in position."

The second squad of commandos moved in along with the new Imperial Knight they were assigned to for their current mission.

Breaker was unsure just how he viewed this dark jedi, though he would obey unless she broke her alleigance to Lord Dion. The original had been an enemy of the Republic, a servant of the traitor, Count Dooku, and had killed several of his bretheren during the clone wars in that dimension.

"Strike Team Alpha is go," he stated as he watched the other team get into position before scanning the great hall while waiting for the final target to get into position while checking the positions of the commandos and Lady Tann.

"Beta is ready," came the response from Jag, the leader of the second squad.

Breaker glanced at the dark jedi and waited for her to signal the beginning of this stage of the plan.

A nod and the great hall errupted into violence with the dozen clonetroopers crashing into the room, blasters ready.

The blue flashes of stunbolts flooded the area of the head table as Sev'rance Tann walked in to view Albus Dumbledore in his position with a half-dozen blasters pointed at him.

"Albus Dumbledore," the Chiss force user stated calmly while holding out a piece of parchment, "You and all members of the so called Order of the Phoenix are hereby placed under arrest by the order of Cornelius Oswald Fudge, the current minister of magic with the charge of sedition and treason."

She paused with a cruel smirk before turning to the clones, "Take them away."

This is very good...
Although, most SW-set-on-Earth, seem to be of the Dark Side!Harry...

What does LAAT stand for?

Will you be posting this somewhere else?

For the dark side Harry part of it, I'd written the first version of Imperium Rising when I couldn't find any. Most of them that I could find seemed to be entirely the lightside Harry who ends up being the defender of light on Earth with Voldemort becoming the super evil villain with no real justification for it.

My re-write is something I had planned on doing for a while, but needed some inspiration for it which came from Fosfor's Red Codex. I'm shuffling several events, discarding some of them, adding others, and expanding on most of what remains as well as adding in some from my Empire Dawning continuation of it.

LAAT stands for Low Altitude Assault Transport. (Look HERE for more on them). I'd created two further variants for the story which is the prison transport and the capture one used to snag the dragon.

I'm planning on posting it on both Ficwad and FF.net when I finish it.

Harry was studying the database left by his master, with his first Knight chosen he would need to work on making more.

Unlike the choice for his soldiers, he would make each of the knights unique. Each one chosen from a template of people who never existed in this world, but had in Palpatines world.

Sev'rance Tann had been selected because she was a brilliant military leader who could aid him in leading his soldiers into battle, but the rest would have their own specializations at the beginning.

That left him with many options and only a few that would fit into what he wanted for his knights. In the end he had three more chosen to join Tann among his new knights. Two chosen from the ranks of the various Hands that Sideous had trained, and the last made as a leader for his airborn soldiers.

His choices were Vess Kogo and Mara Jade, the choices of some of his former masters best. The last was Maarek Stele, one of the members of the Secret Order of the Emperor which was an impressive feat to have joined and proven worthy of.

Severus Snape was a goldmine of information just waiting to be taken and used in his current campaign and had already provided him with many things to consider that would soon be expanded upon.

Tann would be dispatched with Hades and the ARC troopers in his next plan.

The plan would involve the first fruits of his expiraments in Sith Alchemy upon the captured adult dragon that would soon need a true test of it's power in battle, and he saw great promise in this new breed of dragons and if sucessful would be a reason to attempt to make upgrades of other breeds as well.

Another plan was to attack and take Malfor Manor to find information stored there in the secret areas that he had overheard Draco mentioning years earlier, as well as provide him with a way to shatter one of Voldemorts sources of funds.

The coming battles would be harder now that he had revealed himself.

A slight grin crossed his lips as he glanced at the papers covering his last mission, the revelations about Dumbledore's capture combined with the suspicions he had planted in the ministers mind had coopted the media for the most part, but still the question had already been posed to the curious.

In the end, was he their friend or foe...
