Location: Hogwarts — Nightfall
The skies over Hogwarts burned red as the first wave of Aetheron's army descended. Portals ripped open across the sky, spilling out corrupted beings from every realm:
Dementors merged with Xenomorphs.
Stormtroopers enhanced by magic and cybernetic implants.
Orcs with stolen Wakandan vibranium blades.
Cybernetic dragons created by combining Stark tech and Halo's Forerunner code.
And leading them—Darth Requiem, Aetheron's corrupted clone of Anakin Skywalker.
Athan stood atop the astronomy tower, Excalibur in one hand, his wand-lightsaber hybrid in the other. His golden aura blazed as he activated the Founder's Crown, an artifact that summoned the souls of the Founders to fight alongside him.
"Hogwarts is not just a school," he said to the assembled defenders. "It is a legacy. It is mine. And no pretender will take it."
The Defenders of Hogwarts
The castle roared to life.
Gryffindor's Great Lion, a massive spectral beast, charged down the hill beside animatronic dinosaurs from Jurassic Park enhanced with magic and arc reactors.
Power Rangers of every color and generation leapt into formation, led by a resurrected Tommy Oliver.
Jedi Masters like Rey, Obi-Wan, and Luke appeared beside Asgardian warriors, all summoned by Athan's multiversal beacon.
Spartans, led by Master Chief, lined the walls in Mjolnir armor blessed by Poseidon and Hephaestus.
The X-Men, with Wolverine at the front, backed by Cyclops and Storm.
The true Justice League: Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Batman (Bruce Wayne reborn), and Flash.
Sam stood at Athan's side, armor glowing with Syntec's original code merged with Infinity Stone energy.
"Ready to kick his fake little butt?" she grinned.
Athan nodded. "Let's remind the multiverse who the real heir is."
The Battle Begins
Darth Requiem ignited his flaming red blade, leading the charge. He leapt at Athan, but was intercepted by Doctor Strange and Luna, who together cast a Time Fold Spell, splitting the battle into five simultaneous time streams.
Athan dove into battle, clashing with Aetheron's most elite enforcers:
An alternate evil version of Harry Potter, who had accepted Voldemort's power.
Venom-controlled Bellatrix clone, fast and brutal.
Homelander, whose laser eyes met head-to-head with Superman midair, shaking the very atmosphere.
The walls of Hogwarts pulsed with magic. The Sorting Hat itself levitated, chanting ancient spells as it summoned long-forgotten artifacts from deep vaults.
Athan used Excalibur to strike the ground—activating the Founder's Seal, which opened a portal to the heart of the Earth, summoning the World Serpent to fight on Hogwarts' side.
Turning the Tide
Just as things looked dire, new portals opened—reinforcements:
The Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, arrived with Megazords riding on their backs.
The Hunger Games victors from a united District rebellion, led by Katniss, appeared and rained arrows on the enemy.
The Kingsman agents, invisible in cloaks designed by Q and Wakanda, emerged from shadows and struck with precision.
Naruto Uzumaki, summoned from another world, went into Nine-Tails Sage Mode and obliterated enemy lines with Rasenshuriken.
