Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Invasion at the Gate

The Stargate thundered to life.

The portal swirled—blue and alive, pulsing like a heartbeat. The air vibrated. Dust shook from the ceiling. Lights flashed.

Athan stepped forward, lightsaber ignited in his right hand, the Elder Wand glowing in his left.

"Shields up," he ordered.

The Star Chamber responded, activating a protective energy field just as the Covenant shock troopers burst through the portal—massive Elites in energy armor, followed by Grunts barking in alien tongues.

Hermione cast a protective barrier. Luna summoned a Patronus that glowed like a moon. Draco, eyes wide, actually drew his wand.

"Don't hesitate," Athan said calmly. "This is war."

He raised his hand—and the Force exploded outward, slamming the first wave of enemies into the walls. At the same time, he activated the Power Morpher clipped to his belt.

"It's Morphin Time. Legacy Mode: All Rangers."

The Power Rangers' energy surged through him—Red, Green, White, Gold, Quantum, SPD, Dino, Ninja, Cosmic. All of them.

His armor formed in layers of light and metal, infused with magic, Jedi crystals, and Spartan plating. He looked like a god forged from the stars and every Ranger legacy.

He charged.

With a lightsaber in one hand and the Sword of Gryffindor in the other, Athan moved like the storm itself. One Elite tried to grab Luna—only for her to slam a wand-blast into his jaw and whisper:

"Not today."

Aboveground – Dumbledore's Office

Albus Dumbledore gasped as the wards screamed in his mind.

"Impossible," he whispered. "The Stargate was sealed—buried—forgotten!"

The portraits behind him muttered nervously. Even the painting of Phineas Nigellus said, "He's activated it. The heir's taken control."

Fawkes screeched and flew from his perch, burning with golden flame.

Dumbledore staggered, feeling his power unravel.

"Curse that boy…"

Star Chamber – Victory

The last Covenant soldier dropped.

Athan raised his wand and lightsaber. "Seal the gate. Now."

Hermione tapped into the console with Asgardian runes and tech knowledge pulled from her downloaded StarkOS AI. The gate powered down, the room stabilizing.

"Are you alright?" Athan asked Luna.

She nodded, hair glowing slightly. "That was… exhilarating."

"Is that going to happen often?" Draco asked, wide-eyed but no longer mocking.

"Probably," Athan said. "This is only the beginning."

He turned back to the holocron, now glowing with a new symbol:

Jedi High Council Access – Unlocked.

"Ready for your next inheritance?" Hermione asked.

Athan smirked. "Let's see what Atlantis left me."
