Slytherin Empire's
Chapter 11

Mars: Atmosphere

"It's so much fun!!!" Blonde Malfoy has a time in his life, an incredible freedom! Now he completely understood why Hadrian looked down on almost everything in the world, when you could be anywhere at any time under water high up in the air!

Cho and Daphne were very similar to Draco when they were given guidance by the Legion on how to use runes in Armor, as Daphne had rune casters in both of her hands, he had enough strength to flatten the city if he was not careful.

While Tracey and Lily where the most reserved, flew carefully and carefully

"Miss Potter, I believe we're doing this! " he said with caution and underlying fear in his voice "You didn't expect Saturday to turn into a 'semi-class trip' to Mars?" Lily asked with an amused tone in her voice

"I'm getting used to Hadrian over the top things in Slytherin's dorm, he's already destroyed most common sense for some, including mine.but 'class travel' this is the biggest challenge for me. Not only that, but there is a chance we are seeing an Alien!!!" Tracey is happy and nervous at the same time, the same as Lily she has muggleborn roots and she sees a movie about aliens, which is scary too, she is similar to Tracey as well.

As they approach Mars' thin atmosphere, Tracey becomes nervous once again, while only she and Lily are not yet on Mars, the other group has long been inside the planet.

The moment Tracey and Lily started to enter the Atmosphere, she panicked as it seemed like the Armor was on fire

"Is it really safe we won't burn? He asked as if someone would answer him, little did he know that the entire Hub Legion was here to help him

"there's a 0.01% chance it's Lady Davies. So there's no need to worry about that" Tracey snapped, realising again that there was a super advanced voice mounted inside her armor.

"thank you, I guess" a moment later he heard Daphne's voice.

"Seriously track why you're so slow! We've been at the location and by the gods, I've never seen so many knights before!" Tracey realized that they were already there! And according to the information he got from the Armor it was like several hundred miles from its location

"Legion how fast are we flying now?"

"200km/h at the moment Lady Davies" She realized if she continued flying at this speed she would be there in two hours or so! How fast they fly !!!

"And how fast is his attention at maximum speed ?!" he actually did not want to hear, because in a way he would insult himself ...

"Less than 5% of Lady Davies' full capacity, this armor was made for exploration of the solar system.." she took a deep breath and imagined herself flying faster, and her armor reacted, taking a deep breath, as more magic was pumped into his armor runes, immediately all he saw was to quickly turn the desert and mountains, all he did was follow the navigation point where his best friend was

'I never imagined myself in this situation, shouldn't Hogwarts be the safest place in Magical Britain!? But I'm on Mars! equipped with the most advanced Technomancy inventions in history! To check the place where a building with unknown origin! And according to the Legion It's 100% alien! Hooray for me and an amazing Saturday!'

with Hadrian...

'I knew I would meet aliens in my life because I planned to live for a very long time and conquer the entire Galaxy, maybe even reality, he said, but I never thought It would happen this fast in my life, right next door ...'

Hadrian observed the Alien building from the mountain cliff, from time to time the violent Martian winds would blow, yet they did nothing to his sight or balance, Holly standing beside him observing with him, the expedition already had 8 eagles parked and the small camp was already built with light projectors, since night on this part of the planet

The two hundred Shadow Knights in which made a huge ritual site before they decided to enter, they would learn everything from the original creator of this building

One of the Shadows came to his side "The master of the building is about 50 thousand years old, it was here when humanity was still on its cradle ..."

"so that observation post ..." Hadrian said in a serious and nervous voice "that means we may be dealing with a fairly advanced species .. yet I don't understand why it was abandoned ... " moments later Hadrian's mother and Tracey land, as this conversation is transmitted to everyone, they all hear it

"Maybe they're quite observing and they're leaving ..." Hadrian just shook his head at his mother's theory

"No. No sane person would leave behind such a precious resource, this building looks closed, if left behind there will only be 'carcasses' of buildings left, he said, not in this situation was there an apparition of ice being used to melt the water in the small outpost there, no, they left everything because they had no other choice ... " he said when everyone had an unpleasant feeling for a moment

"Maybe they are at war and can no longer defend this observation base." commented Daphne, Hadrian sighed again.

"Maybe. but it means they are up against a much stronger opponent so they should leave him immediately.." he heard some people gulp.

"Hadrian is getting creepy! I hope you are wrong! " he smiled at her brother's comment

"I hope so dear .." they continued to observe the site of the massive ritual

Hours later...

"Master for this ritual we will need a large amount of magic, this world does not have it and if we change the atmosphere into it, it will completely destroy the remaining atmosphere in this world..." Hadrian bit his bottom.lip thought of a solution

"Use the Hawks solar reactor then..." Hadrian's first suggestion

"Although we are still below the limit we need..." Hadrian breathed

"Good! send out a generator then! We'll use sand! there is enough sand in this world to be turned into magic!" Hadrian's mother's eyes widened when she heard this even her classmates were no different

"Harry you can make magic out of sand!?!" Lily could barely control herself hearing that

"Yes mother, magic is making things from one to the other" Hadrian replied as if he was teaching a child to spell letters

"But that doesn't make sense! Sand is just sand there is no miracle there! " he snorted at his nonsense

"Of course ! That's the point ! I brought a generator that would use sand as fuel to make miracles! he realized what he meant, they were just waiting for his arrival while others were flying around the planet, especially holly who could not fly outside the moon were having fun ...

Soon the other 4 Eagles flew up and carried 4 glass box-shaped magic reactors with live metal balls that looked like mercury in them, Lily observed them closely while stationed at four locations, North, North, East, South, and West Alien buildings

A few minutes later they were activated when they started absorbing sand, ice, stone, other materials around it, it began to feed the massive ritual site.

"Return from that! I don't want any of you to turn into babies for me." Hadrian said with a faint smile, everyone other than the Shadow Knights paled when they heard the effect of the ritual if they touched it.

"Do you not need any materials for the ritual to function properly, instead they use secret letters and simple magic ..." Hadrian nodded at his mother because she was right

"Yes, but I don't need a permanent change because it will take a lot of resources...

Lily's eyes widened she had never seen how to use such rituals, as they were officially banned in magical England, only the unspeakable were actually allowed to use them, she said, but even they had never seen the use of such runes in the ritual, immediately within the ritual circle everything started to walk.backward, sand, wind started blowing backwards.

"It looks so strange as if it's coming back." commented Holly, her Chinese friend nodded, it's not every day you see the wind blowing backwards...

"reaching the point 10 thousand years ago ..." Everyone was surprised that inside the circle thousands of years ago, and nothing has changed since that was the desert world - the only thing that looks different is sand dunes in different positions or desert storms inside the ritual loop

"Reaching the point 20 thousand years ago" still looks the same as before, some of them like Holly are starting to believe that there may be nothing there

"Reaching the point 30 thousand years ago" Holly narrowed her eyes, like it really was 30 thousand years ago and the building still looks the same!

"Reaching the point 40 thousand years ago" Cho, then Daphne began to gasp as buildings that looked like red stones began to regain some yellow and even green

"Is the color of this species used to build!?! What materials did they use to make!?!!" Hadrian's mother was shocked

"Reaching the point 50 thousand ..."

"STOP!!!" Hadrian roared and the ritual froze

"You go too far back ... forward a little .. "the ritual circle reacts and begins to move forward, the base is much more detailed, they can see the antenna on top of the building, the, it's all in all the actual alien buildings ...

But then they saw the ground of a large dark silver machine with a single red eye, it stood on four legs and it was big not all it was possible to see the ritual circle of the mind.

"By Merlin's beard, what is it !!!" Draco couldn't control himself as he shouted

"Focus on this particular period and maximize quality and sound." Hadrian said as his eyes never slipped from the big machine.

"understood..waste the rest of the time, maximize the current choice, improve the quality of the current choice..."

Once the Legion began to appear again, it became an almost real 3D hologram of the events that took place here nearly 50 thousand years ago...

It started like a normal day, but around mid-afternoon, mechanical screeches were heard throughout the observation station, the machine measuring about 500 meters in size landed, and the, his single eye gave off a particle-like red beam and began to destroy everything around the observation station, but left the station alone. ..

After it starts attacking, the creatures leave the station and with weapons in hand and start fighting creatures similar to them, they all have 4 eyes, they have 4 eyes, 2 Hands with 3 fingers on each hand, with two legs and with two toes, what is it? the most puzzling thing is that one side acts like zombies, they are brownish in color, from the sound they make, they look like from some horror movie, he said, on the other hand these aliens are more like normal species. They have weapons with particle beams and they are well organized.

This whole fight lasted only a few minutes before the proper aliens were finished, which is strange that their corpses were collected and retrieved by a huge machine, the, and then the machine left zombies behind that eventually died and turned to dust in the next thousand years.

"why does this thing do that! He releases the freaks and they kill the other aliens and then take their bodies but leave the freaks behind!" Hadrian thought the same thing as Tracey but only one thing made sense to him

"They're harvesting it.." Everyone looks very surprised at the thought.

"You mean... They harvested it but left it ??? But why?" Hadrian looked at his mother who asked him

"Since they serve their purpose, these 'zombies' are already 'converted', you can see that they are familiar with this alien and the silver machine... wrong... I saw such an object.The metal in my alchemy tested its bio-metal in other words it was made from a combination of flesh and metal. Its strength is not as strong as mithril but easier to make..." Everyone paled at his judgment

"It's just been an amazing horror movie .." Holly commented, Hadrian nodded seriously at her

"I agree dear, I seem to find someone I hate more than the snake's face..." Hadrian turned to the nearest shadow "bring me one of those zombies for testing, and this time use the right time ritual, I want them to research ... I want to know what we're dealing with! And open that observation station!" Shadow nodded and began to make preparations, Hadrian looked back at the people who were with him

"Your prediction is not wrong..." Hadrian looked at Daphne while the girl sounded like she was seeing most life-changing events, which of course.

"Yes.but I didn't expect this!" his voice was very faint just with the help of the armor he heard it

"I don't either... "

A few minutes later...

The door to the Observation station where it opened forcefully as most of the machines had rusted with just a little help did they open with great difficulty, once inside the dusty, dusty, with the group of artificial lights used, they could see the remains of a place that used to be a workplace, apparently no survivors, no computers or furniture

"It's like a ghost story with abandoned houses..." Hadrian snorted at Draco's comment

"So this oldest building in the solar system ..." Hadrian nodded at Cho

"Yes it. So spread out and look for something valuable, I doubt there are any survivors of this alien unless it's something from their main 'black box..." everyone nodded and spread out accompanied by Shadow Knights

"Start building a 3d image of this building ..." Some probes flew inside as well, Hadrian himself went inside

With Daphne and Tracey

"This place is so scary... I believe we saw aliens! And it's not a Daph movie!" Daphne shook her head from her friend's 'enthusiasm' which could be considered panic

"Really.you watch those 'movies' in 'cinemas' right?" Tracey nodded remembering the few times she went to visit the muggle world

"Just right ! My mother was Muggle born! So we went to the cinema! but still the machine was the scariest thing I've ever seen and the screeching of the metal.it just gave me goosebumps thinking about my spine!" Daphne nodded at her friend

"You're right... I hope Hadrian finds a way to deal with them..." Tracey nodded at her friend as they walked into another place that looked different it was a place like a work area.

"Surprisingly there are almost no survivors here.it looks like a laboratory or workshop.it looks like an iron bed..." Daphne looked around the almost empty room there, Tracey nodding at her assessment.

"We have to see if any electronics survive..." Daphne snorted hearing it

"Doubtful.not many things last that long"

With Holly, Cho, Lily...

"it looks like a place for an indoor farm..." Lily commented, when they arrived at a place that looked like some kind of greenhouse, but instead of soil like soil, it was now just sand, and the 'glass' seal she used was gone. to keep the sun's heat inside is long gone

"Yes.my parents had something similar in Hong Kong, they planted their own herbs for potions." Cho said as she like the others was on full alert.

"Do you think those machines will come back?" Holly asked as she looked around also checking if there was anything under the sand

"I don't know.maybe something here will show you why they harvested in the first place ..."

"My bet is they build more of them themselves, because Hadrian says they use bio-metals to make those machines" Holly looked pale for a moment when she heard what her colleague Ravenclaw said

Holly covered her mouth just by thinking about them and that mechanical scream, just remembering lifting her hair back...

With Draco

'This adventure is the biggest thing in my life so far! Who knew Hogwarts could be this cool! When Hadrian says the next 7 years will be years to remember, he is not lying! Just the first month I was out of the world!, but the machine was terrifying ! Go have to report to dad as soon as I get back! He needs to know! Hadrian will need all the help he can get to prepare! The Dark Lord did not even look threatening anymore compared to that machine...'

'I have to look around maybe I'll find one of those laser objects!!!'

As Draco walked down the corridor, he took a corner and found the stairs down, there pitch black even with an artificial light generator, they needed night vision to see there.

"Hadrian, I found the stairs coming down" Draco said as he tried to see what was down there.

"roger.. I was at your place in just a few seconds.." hearing that Draco looked around, found nothing.

"Well let's go. The black box or something like that should be downstairs, otherwise we should go empty today." Hadrian told Draco and they started to come down, there are quite a lot of stairs.

"Activating night vision.." soon their sight was filtered and they could see in total darkness, walking forward, walking forward, they arrive in a large area with the center of the beacon-like structure next to it is something similar to a console but there is no screen or button to press , not only that , but there are no screens , but this central part is separated by a abyss that descends forever, only someone who can jump more than 10 meters can get into the middle or someone who can fly

"How did that alien get into that thing? I didn't see them flying, did they jump that far? "ask Draco on Hadrian

"No, they might have a bridge emerging from that platform if someone wanted to check the records, but I'm sure his past stopped working, let's fly there!" Draco nodded as they started flying towards the beacon, once they landed Hadrian checked the beacon and the console both were long dead.

"Hmm this needs to be restored... The Legion sent another team here as soon as possible and want this place to function again, this place will become the Mars headquarters for my Slytherin Faction, you can start sending Legions and knights here..."

"understand sending orders now ..." Hadrian looked back at Draco who was still staring at the flare

"It's hard to believe real aliens, isn't it?" He nodded back

"Just yesterday my concern was how to get into the quidditch team and continue my Occlumency training as well as my physical aspect, all my worries seemed so small .." said the blonde Slytherin to Hadrian who was just listening to him

"How do you plan to fight those machines?" Hadrian breathed

"You already know.my suit prototype design is almost complete, once completed I will start with the shipyard around Saturn, its rings and moons will allow the allocation of resources to my ship, he said, at the same time I have Servants and Guardian angel projects that will increase one's individual strength" Draco listened, his eyebrows raised for a moment

"Servant and Guardian Angel? What'sthat?" As soon as he asked, he saw her appear on the HUD but he did not have full permission on them, so only a summary appeared

*whistle* "that's awesome! Can I call one? " Hadrian shrugged his shoulders

"I don't understand why not? , you need the artifact of the person you want to summon ... Then you draw a circle and use a lot of magic, of course you use spells as well, of course you use spells as well, I'll give it to you later ... " Draco happily nodded, if he could call one then he would have like Hadrian had Morgana

some badass hero? Like people from Greek legends? Not only would they be great bodyguards but they could also teach him all sorts of things from a long-gone era!

He couldn't stop grinning, he needed to contact father to ask him to find artifacts from ancient Greece or Ireland there were also heroes! , Even the Arthurian language would be so much fun

"We should ask your father's Artifacts.he has many connections from all over England, I'm sure he can find some..." Draco nodded, Hadrian was reading his mind about that one!

"All right, let's get out of here! "

"Yes, I think I've seen enough sand for one day..." Draco wants to get back to Earth, he's seen enough Mars for one day...

"Yes the same here I prefer to watch it from Phobos..."

The two return to the outside and there countless construction works have already begun around the Alien Observation base, the Hawks will land and unleash the legions-bots, more knights would come out of them as well.

For the first time other people saw different knights, such as advanced knights and invading knights, the personnel number was around several hundred, currently Lily realized that her son had a fairly large group of people, which was quite large, much larger when Voldemort was a threat, now if he was still around he would be squashed like an insect even by one of them

"We have to go back home ..." Hadrian told the group "should we fly or take one of the Hawks?" Holly was the first to answer "we have to take the eagle. I am tired and want to take a bath.." the girls nodded in agreement they were all tired not physically but mentally.

"Alright then let's take the eagle back to Phobos .." they all followed him back to one of the parked birds, go inside, there are no seats because this is a military seat, he said, it was meant to bring uncomfortable troops flying

The way the bird slowly sealed itself and Hadrian took off his helmet, everyone who saw it did the same

"Well, that's an adventure I'll never forget..." Hadrian sighed at the cry of Chinese beauty

"You're not the only one... Cho I didn't expect to see a race of life-harvesting machines, but once again fighting machines can be easier, then living, unpredictable living things like machines, like machines, but then again I can't predict them because I've never seen them act correctly before..."

"do you think they'll come back? Thinking for a moment Hadrian answered

"They will not be today, not tomorrow.maybe in a hundred years or so, their harvest does not make sense to me, because the Earth is next to life, the only logical conclusion is that they harvest a particular or advanced species ... " Hadrian concluded with his theory

"It sounds far to be twisted ..."

"They are the machines that program them.The twisted ones are their creators or creators..." Hadrian completes his role when Hawk lands inside the bay of Phobos, there everyone saw tens of possibly hundreds of Hawks parked and of course countless armored personnel doing something like moving crates or entering Hawks...

"How did you create this many Hawks and knights! Didn't you say that just a few weeks ago it was still in the testing phase !!! " Daphne can barely wrap her head around with this! The speed of everything that happens is astronomical!

"Daphne... I've told you before, about the Legion of the entire base or this month depending on your view, fully operational, you see a magic generator using sand as fuel, with alchemy you can do a lot, you see a magic generator using sand as fuel, many things, this is no different, 'the assembly line' produces everything from Knights to armor in just a matter of minutes, the only thing you need to do is send the design and 'bam' it will produce for you "the eyes of the sparkling girls hear it, Daphne and Cho walk closer to him

"You're saying that if we draw or show something like clothes, perfume, jewelry" the two gulp down just thinking "the assembly line will produce for us? " Hadrian did not bother to hide his joy

"Yes dear..it can and is quite easy" Both of their eyes lit up.

"Can we use it? Hadrian sighed, he brought this upon himself

"Think so .. let's take off the armor and I'll give you the terminal to use the same as the communicator, let's take off the armor and I'll give you the terminal to use the same as the communicator, once done I'll give some work to you girls because you want to use my assembly line ..." The two girls realize that they were recruited for the actual job for Hadrian, they are excited and a little afraid of what he will do to get them to do it

"and what is this 'job?" she smiled a little

"Translation work. Once the Alien 'black box' recovers and returns to working condition, I will need help translating it, he said, The legion would of course do most of the heavy-duty work but human proficiency would be needed" the two girls eyes widened the same as the rest of the group translating foreign texts!?! They would be the first in the world to do such a thing!, they were out and afraid of failing such a mission!

"I don't know how well I'll do it but I'll try! There's a reason why I'm with the Ravens" Cho said with the same determination she wanted to prove that she wasn't just a pretty girl, so too with Daphne he wants to prove he can be useful

"Good, now let's go" Hadrian began walking towards the exit of Phobos Bay, his group following him, Hadrian began to walk towards the exit of Phobos bay, walking through several corners as they arrived at the elevator they knew that took them to the level of the armory once their armor was removed.

"So what now? Can we use the Roman Baths?" Tracey asked, because Morgana was constantly praising her becoming very interested in them

"Yes no problem, but before that let me give you some stuff then we can all relax" he nodded tiredly, even if it's only around 4pm he feels around 8pm maybe 10pm because he can just take a shower and go to sleep there's a lot to process

Once everyone was ready Hadrian took them to the next room to Armory which was full of terminals and other gadgets, Hadrian gave the terminal to people who did not have it yet, including Daphne who always wanted it, and this time he gets two more items: a storage ring that works like a storage pouch just that it's his ring, for both Daphne and Cho think that Hadrian proposed when he gave the ring, where his mother could only laugh at how blunt Hadrian was with the ring

The other part is the communication that is meant to talk to others even if it is on another planet, as long as the Legion network is in the area they can talk, as long as the Legion network is in the area, which made everyone look at them in amazement because only part of the ear but they can communicate at a very long distance. ...

"All right, everyone's done following me to the relaxation area..."

"Yes!!!" all the girls shouted even Hadrian's mother was no different... Hadrian could only shake his head 'woman'...

Seriate...
