The students, being not mature and experienced enough, got excited upon seeing the phenomenon around them. Edmund was affecting the very weather around Hogwarts. How powerful was he?
Meanwhile the adult wizards and witches were flabbergasted, and more than a little scared. Edmund was possibly much more powerful that Voldemort and Dumbledore combined. He was just fifteen years old.
Remus rubbed the back of his neck as he remembered being held down by Edmund in a vice grip a year ago. He could have actually snapped Remus' neck like a twig.
An evil smirk graced Edmund's face as he said, "You like toying with your victims don't you, Tom? All of your followers sure enjoy having their way with innocent people. Wannna play a game of evasion? You just have to dodge what I throw at you. Fun, right?"
No one could breathe out a response. All the attackers were pinned down by his killing intent, still struggling to just get a little bit of fresh air in their lungs.
Edmund raised his arm vertically, with his palm facing the thundering clouds in the sky. Violent arcs of lightning enshrouded his body as they rippled towards his open palm, concentrating at one point.
Edmund sent a large and concentrated bolt of lightening up in the sky and the clouds roared in anger. The lightening flashed and illuminated the entire sky, forcing everyone to hide their eyes.
"Survive this."
He immediately removed the influence of his killing intent, wanting to give the ants a chance to survive. He wanted them to know what it felt like to be the targeted ones.
His voice echoed throughout the land, "Kirin: Karmic lightning."
Otherworldly bolts of lightning fell upon the death eaters as if the heavens were giving their judgement for all the wrong that has been done in the world.
More than half of Voldemort's forces were reduced to ashes and soot. The whole dark forest was levelled and nothing but cinders and molten rock could be seen.
Some death eaters, giants and vampires managed to survive as they were out of range while some managed to escape by apparation, only to find themselves stopped by a gigantic dome that spanned beyond what naked eyes could see.
Edmund was determined to completely wipe out the filth of Magical Britain. Not a single death eater would escape.
The death eaters who survived were panicking. They couldn't run away!
Voldemort gazed towards Edmund, his eyes filled with primal fear.
Edmund was a monster. Even though Voldemort had horcruxes, there was no knowing if the attack could destroy his soul that was bound to his body. Most of the dementors were killed, practically vaporized by Edmund's attack.
Lightening rippled once again around Edmund as he readied the attack. The death eaters screamed in terror and loudly begged for mercy.
Edmund laughed, "Didn't I tell you? There's no mercy for you."
All of a sudden, a pale green spell struck one of the clones from inside the barrier that was protecting all the defenders.
The barrier became unstable and broke down. The clones too got destroyed by the backlash.
All gazes turned towards the one who gired that curse. It was a familiar man with hooked nose and greasy hair.
Snape!
Edmund was overcome with rage. He cancelled his attack and jumped towards the bastard, the ground under him cracked and exploded into a crater.
"You bastard!"
The death eaters snapped out of their state and rejoiced. Voldemort laughed loudly and rallied his forces to commence the attack on Hogwarts.
Just as Edmund's fist was about to strike Snape's gaping maw, he sensed a spell speeding towards him.
Edmund substituted himself with a piece of rubble and came to a sliding stop. His eyes turned to his attacker.
"Dumbledore!"
With his want firmly pinted at Edmund, Dumbledore spoke, "You are too strong for me to let you live. I ordered Snape to destroy that barrier. He's bound to follow my orders by a vow."
"You've lost your mind!"
Edmund cursed loudly and using a sonorous, he yelled, "Defenders of Hogwarts! This is it. The enemy is here to kill you, your family, your friends and everyone else you care about. Fight! Fight for those who died fighting for what is right. Fight for your future, and the future of Magical Britain!"
The defenders roared in unison with a newly invigorated resolve and met the incoming death eaters with a defying force.
Edmund stared at Dumbledore and growled, "I knew you'd come back. But I never thought you'll be willing to risk the lives of so many people just for the twisted dreams of your demented mind. You're rotten to the core. But everyone has a weakness, an emotional weakness that can be exploited. And I know yours."
Dumbledore glared at him and readied himself to face whatever Edmund had planned.
Edmund made a few hand seals and slammed his palms on the ground.
"Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei!" (Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation)
(A/N: For those who watched.... dubbed... version of Naruto...)
A pale wooden coffin rose from the ground. Dumbledore was a little unnerved upon seeing that kind of necromancy. The boy was raising the dead. But who? His sister's soul was obliterated so she couldn't be raised. He had little love for his father and mother. Who could it be?
The coffin opened, revealing an old man with grey and cracked skin. Edmund moved forward and used the talisman to rejuvenate the old man and bring the man under his control.
Dumbledore's eyes were wide in pain as he mumbled coherently. No, this was not possible. Everyone knew he was dead. Dumbledore, despite of his greed for power, couldn't kill the one person he loved. So he had the person imprisoned, knowing he wouldn't be able to bear the pain of losing his love.
"Albus...", Grindelwald mumbled.
Edmund laughed and said while handing a wand to the reanimated man, "Kill your lover, Grindelwald."
As the two faught Edmund was about to go and find Snape to kill him but stopped, the trolls had reached where the defenders were fighting. they were about to kill some of the students.
Edmund scowled and using a shunshin (Body Flicker), he appeared right in front of a troll's chest.
Producing a dense spiraling sphere of chakra, he slammed it into the troll's ribs, obliterating the bones and grinding away the heart. The troll was thrown back due to the sheer force of the rasengan.
Edmund created a few clones that started killing the rest of the trolls while he burnt away the vampires with widespread fire jutsus, careful not to get any of his allies with his attacks.
He ran around while killing every death eater that was in his range.
A snake was attacking an auror who was doing everything in his knowledge to kill the snake. But no matter what he tried, the snake remained unharmed.
Edmund yelled to the auror, "Just use a damn killing curse!"
The auror fired a killing curse at the snake without giving a second thought.
The snake writhed on the ground and died as a sickening black aura was expelled from it.
'Huh, who knew Voldie had a secret Horcrux....
Awsome!'
Far away, Voldemort felt immense pain in his core while he was fighting Iris. Confused at what could be the problem, he was unable to dodge a cutting curse from Iris that left a nasty gash on his face. He hissed and went back to his fight. Iris was proving to be quite a challenge and was even pushing him back on the defensive. Worse was that Iris had managed to isolate themselves from others. There was no one around to be taken as hostage and trick Iris.
Iris immediately transfigured a stone into a knife and moved it to attack Voldemort.
Tom sneered, but panicked when Iris used a Geminio to multiply the knife.
A wall of speeding knives struck a shield that had shimmered in front of Voldemort. Despite all the power he used in casting the shield, he couldn't stop some of the knives and they pushed through to impale him all over his body.
Iris relayed her thoughts to Edmund who informed his clone to destroy Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes, who was waiting back in the ROR.
Voldemort convulsed and screamed in unbearable pain.
Iris took the chance and blasted away Voldemort's wand arm.
Eyes wide in fear, Voldemort watched as a blue ray of magic neared him and struck his chest.
He screamed in pain. His body disappeared into fine ash as he felt his consciousness fade away.
Edmund's eyes widened as Iris looked towards him with a huge smile. He ran towards her with urgency and sent another order to his clone in ROR.
Dumbledore's spell missed it's aim and struck the ground beneath Iris when he felt pain unfamiliar to him.
Iris was flung into the air and she fell on the ground, her body rolling forward before coming to a stop.
Edmund roared in blind rage and punched the air in front of him. Dumbledore felt like he was hit by a speeding train and was flung into the air.
As Edmund was about to strike his chest with an overpowered punch, Dumbledore shouted, "What are you?!"
In a calm voice, he replied, "You'll die without knowing. Rejoice, you're a necessary sacrifice for the greater good."
"NO..!"
"PERVAGOR!" (Translate to english: Permiate. Go google).
Edmund slammed his palm on Dumbledore's chest and made his body permiate into the ground.
He stumbled towards Iris' fallen body and cradled her head in his lap. With tears in his eyes, he placed his palms on her breast as they got covered in a pale green glow.
Severus Snape fell on his knees beside Iris and asked Edmund in a low quivering voice, "What are you doing?"
Without looking up, Edmund replied, "Reviving her. She deserves to live. I'll sacrifice my life force and she'll be alive again."
Snape stared at Edmund for a while and grabbed his arms, "Use mine! Don't die to revive her. She'll need you."
"...Why? You hate her."
"Yes, I do. I hate her very existence. But I loved Lily. I made a vow to protect Iris but I failed. No, use my life force. I beg you."
Edmund looked Snape in the eyes and said, "Place your hands over mine and don't, in any case remove them."
Snape did as told and immediately felt himself weaken. He closed his eyes and awaited his death, already thinking of meeting Lily in the afterlife.
"It's done."
Snape's eyes snapped open.
"But... you said.."
Edmund looked at the gaping Snape and smiled, "She wasn't dead. I did a ritual that required a person's life force as a willing sacrifice to strengthen her soul, thus increasing her life span. The person was supposed to be someone who hated her very being. Thank you, Snape. Because of your sacrifice, Iris will have a very long life."
Before Snape could retaliate, Edmund slashed the man's throat with a kunai.
"You were part of the group who killed the Whirlpools, weren't you? I never forgive, Snape, and I never forget. May you rot in hell."
Snape fell on the ground as he choked on his blood.
Edmund quickly used a reducto and reduced Snape's body into mist.
In his lap, Iris stirred awake and looked at his tired face. She reached for his chin and gently stroked it.
"Ed..."
Edmund smiled down at Iris and said, "We won."
Iris smiled tiredly and nodded.
The war was finally over. Voldemort was defeated, all his death eaters killed by the combined efforts of the defenders and Edmund's clones.
Several miles below the surface of the earth, the pale blue shield around Dumbledore began to crack under the immense heat and pressure of molten rock. He struggled and screamed but was helpless. The shield finally broke and disappeared as Dumbledore was crushed under earth's weight, his body burnt into nothingness.
