Harry wakes up on the week of his 16th birthday, not exactly on his birthday but the week of it, being told that his siblings wanted to have a bonding experience as his birthday present. Their idea of bonding?

Vacation in a different dimension.

That is well and all (not really) but Harry certainly didn't expect to find himself in a world of fairy tales. And neither does his brothers, apparently. But they won't be calling themselves Phantom if they don't adapt and cause problem. Well, more like Loki causing problem because that is just Loki, you know? He lives up to his name. Seph, his oldest brother, will find the whole thing amusing but Harry bet that he will also be secretly planning on how to punish them all when everything goes pear shaped, the sadist. Meanwhile, Mal is just...Mal.

Harry isn't sure about his second eldest brother. Considering that Mal is apparently a fey of some sort. Mal have also been dragging Harry and Loki through all manners of magical adventure back in his original world. Also, those fey aren't very friendly with humans that can use magic. They only tolerate him because, well, he's Danny's son and that means he is also their Prince's brother.

Well, Harry would naturally also avoid them, having heard enough horror story about some poor soul pissing off a fey or something and ended up will all manner of misfortune that are also usually fatal. Unfortunately, he's Mal's brother and Maleficent, Mal's mother, wants to get to know all of Danny's broods. Although, she's very...mothering...with him?

Harry have a feeling that her mothering him is a result of his brothers flapping their tongues unnecessarily. Minato is the only other person she mothers, much to the older man's discomfort and embarrassment. Fortunately, she's not smothering or overprotective like Molly Weasley. But she is certainly a mother.

Now, the adventure into another dimension is also part experimental. They are mapping the whole of Creation to find Minato's original world so that he can be reunited with his son. Apparently, he speaks the truth about his marital status and his separation from his boy. Funny enough, although Minato is fourth in the line of siblings, he is also the only one that was also married and is a father. This also means that he is also the most responsible one and Harry is stressing this very heavily.

If he wants something organized? See Seph, or Sephiroth, or the General as the staff at the Keep calls him. He can certainly organize thing. Especially if that means organizing how to dismantle and decimate an army...or a person. Really. If Harry wants someone utterly destroyed, he's the go to brother. Unfortunately for whoever Harry points Seph to, they will not survive the meeting. So Seph is always the "Last Resort".

If he wants to learn or see something new, strange, and bizarre? See Mal. Mal is the one that experiments in the family. He is also well connected due to also being a Prince and the designated ambassador for Danny and the fey. That means that Mal knows all the weird places to go sightseeing...or have a picnic. The last time they had picnic together, Mal had the great idea to picnic on top of the head of a World Serpent.

If he wants to prank or embarrass someone? Get Loki. Loki is always down for mischief. Although Danny is always onto him if he takes things too far and some got hurt. Danny is very strict about bullying. Apparently he was a victim of bullying once and he does not want his children to be bullies. It makes it a little awkward whenever Sirius is around. Though Loki and Sirius (and Remus when he tags along) gets along like a forest on fire, they often gets into hot water with Danny when their pranks are a little too mean.

But if Harry wants someone destroyed, socially or physically, without getting caught? Well, surprisingly the softest brother is actually the deadliest. Minato is all smiles until he decided someone needs a wake up call. Just look at what he did to Rita Skeeter. She actually skipped out of Britain altogether. Clearly, he was far from amused by her tabloids. After all, as he always said, "Nothing is more destructive than lies,"

Funny enough, Minato is also the one with the most self control. Which is why he is also the most responsible. Even Seph will go to him for certain things that needs a 'delicate touch' because Seph's method is blunt force trauma the size of a planet sized meteor with added spikes. Minato's method is the equivalent of boiling a toad. Then again, he's the head of a village of assassins.

"It's Shinobi, Harry. We do pretty much everything, not just killing people,"

Back to the situation at hand. Mal decided that they should visit this "interesting new dimension" and see if it's Minato's world. Well, it's not Minato's world but it is certainly interesting...if interesting is mistaking Mal for some magical girl's evil mother.

Seriously, Harry is pretty sure that Mal is a boy...unless he's hiding something?

Loki's rolling on the ground laughing is not helping him stay focused or serious.

~

Minato sighs as he rubs the pressure point between his brows, "How in the world did you let a cursed lizard out of her confinement and managed to lose her long enough to take a dip in the Enchanted Lake that was known to strip off any curses?"

Loki grimaces, "W-well..."

The boy with black and white hair besides him lets out a whimper, trying to hide his dog behind him; the perpetrator behind the mess they are currently in. Minato frowns at him before shaking his head, turning to Loki, "You better help Mal with that overgrown flying lizard," He then grimly adds, "Before either me or Seph takes charge. I doubt that the girl Mal wanted her mother dead and in pieces,"

There is a roar and a loud screech as this world's Maleficent's draconic form crashes against Mal's giant Phoenix form, green flames and giant black briar growing around them. Loki sighs and excuses himself to join the battle going on behind them. Maybe if he's gentle enough, this Maleficent will not die?

Minato sighs, "Alright. I'm going to help with the evacuation. The fight might not reach all the populated area but better safe than sorry," He looks at the boy with the pup, "Are you coming?"

The boy nods, "Yes!"

Minato hums, "Keep up,"

And he's gone in a blink.

For a moment, Carlos stands there dumbly. The boy then thought that the blond man is just too much. He grumbles as he stomps his way towards Auradon, "I'm just a dude who likes animals. I don't have magic. I can't teleport. But who cares about that? 'Keep up' anyway!"

~

Loki argues as they lands in a different world, "To be fair, the last one isn't any of our fault! We were nowhere close to the chaos going on and they settled the whole mess on their own without any interference from us whatsoever, so that means with or without us, there will be a kind of world ending problem that they'll have to solve so Harry have no right to blame us,"

Seph looks at Harry, "Harry, there is a shield on your arm,"

Harry blinks, "What?" He looks down to see a small silver shield with an emerald gemstone in the middle. He tries to take it off, ignoring the whispers around them, but fails. Not to mention, the numerous things he is seeing before his eyes are not helping, "What is a Shield Hero?"

~

At first, upon realizing that Harry can't take the blasted shield off of his arm, they decided to 'play along'. Although the moment they treated Mal with ill concealed contempt, they are already planning to 'skip town'. Then, Minato comes to them with bad news. Although normally, he shouldn't have been able to read the records in that world, being a different language and all, the Phantoms aren't really playing by the common rule. There are no language that they cannot speak or read.

But back with the news, they are already planning to escape but the people scheming behind curtains have a different plan for them.

~

Harry insists, "I didn't touch her. I don't even know her,"

The blond spear wielding man shouts, "How dare you?! You and your friends violated Myne and you dare to deny it?! We have proofs!"

Mal deadpans, "In the form of crocodile tears,"

The King shouts, "Silent, you beast!"

Mal blinks lazily, "You do realize that this 'beast' is capable of laying this Ancient forsaken nation to ruin?"

Minato points out, "And we are not idiotic enough to get tangled in your political ploy. I mean, won't you be sending all of your soldiers on our head had we dared to touch your daughter, Princess Malty S. Melromarc, instead of playing at this farce of a court?"

The blond idiot shouts, "That is even worse! To put your hand on the Princess!"

Seph hums, "Minato, can I destroy this stupid world?"

Minato rubs his nose bridge, "Not yet. Apparently, this world need these delusional civilians. Did you know they actually believed that they can't die?"

Loki snorts, "Everyone dies in the end...unless they are Father,"

Harry grumbles, "This is the most ridiculous accusation I have been put under,"

Loki laughs, "Well, look at it this way! The famous Boy-Who-Lived, wizard child hero of Britain, accused to be a rapist in another world! You are really raking up all those titles, Harry!"

Harry sneers, "You know what? I'd rather be tortured by the Toad carving 'I must not tell lies' on the back of my hand for a whole night rather than listening to this 'play'," He waves at his fellow 'Heroes', "They are clearly thinking that whole world is something of a feverish dream because they are not taking all these seriously! I have no reason to stay either!"

The King shouts, "How dare you ignore me!" He waves his hand, "If the others refused to separate from the Shield Devil, then I have to execute you for getting in the way of justice! Well, perhaps the demihuman beast will have better use elsewhere," The soldiers starts to gather, an eager light in their eyes. The heroes are a little hesitant but takes their clumsy stances either way.

Minato brings out his kunai, "By elsewhere you mean slavery don't you? As if I'll allow you to demean my brother in such a manner,"

Seph grins, bringing out his precious Masamune out of thin air, "Oh. Are we committing genocide now?"

Loki creates a pair of blades in his hands, "I'm not down for that. More of a...running away from here,"

Harry grumbles, "This stupid shield won't even let me use my wand! I'm a wizard! I don't use shield! At least not your kind!"

Mal cracks his knuckles, "Mind you. I am absolutely bad at controlling my strength...well, me and Seph. There might not a be castle to return to once we are done with you,"

Just as they brace for the soldiers and the 'heroes' coming to subjugate them, the space cracks and attracts their attention. The King pales, "No. Here? But...we are barely ready..."

The siblings instead relaxes. Seeing them, the swordsman asks, "Why are you relaxing?"

Loki answers, "Oh. It's just Father. I guess he finally found us,"

The archer frowns, "What?"

Danny 'breaks' through the crack and the Holy Weapons start to tremble. He looks around and found Harry in cuffs. He quirks a brow at that before looking at the others, wrapping his arms over his chest, "Alright. What did you brat do? Why is Harry in cuffs?"

Loki answers, a cruel smirk on his lips, "Oh. That? Well, we are travelling through dimensions when the shield on his arm decided that it wants to use Harry as a host to fight for this world. That isn't so bad. I mean, we are with him. The bad part is that-,"

Minato cuts him, "This country aren't supposed to summon all four Heroes. But the powers in this corrupted nation decided to summon all of them and now they accused Harry of raping their Princess,"

Danny's face stiffens and Harry quickly pipes up, "I didn't! I was with the others the whole time! I don't even know her! She tried joining me when no one else would but Minato said no! Seph said that she's bad news! Not to mention, I got heaves looking at her!"

Seph hums, "We also apparently gang raped her,"

Mal adds, "They also want to enslave me because I'm not a human. Also, we can't leave because the magical shield won't let Harry leave. It starts shocking him when we tried,"

"...what...did you just say?"

The castle trembles and cracks as Danny struggles with his temper. He looks at the King on the throne before sneering, "I know my sons. Don't you dare smear their names," He looks at them and gestures at the shield on Harry's arm, "Come here,"

Harry nervously approach the clearly furious man and watch as Danny grabs the shield. There is flashes of shock but he can feel Danny adsorbing it. With a snarl, Danny grabs the emerald orb and before their widening eyes, starts cracking it with pure pressure alone. The shield starts screeching and the other Heroes look at their holy weapons in shock as they too starts humming in what can only be a panicked buzzing.

He then snarls, "I don't care about your purpose, you useless piece of rock! You don't kidnap my sons and expect them to save a world that is already on the brink of destruction anyway! After their treatment of him, why would I empathize with you?! THEY ALL CAN BE EATEN FOR ALL I CARE!" The shield flashes green at the roar before disappearing. Danny growls, "Coward,"

Harry looks at his freed arm, "So...I don't have to fight?"

Danny huffs, "You are no one's slave," He glares at the court, "Since my son is so obviously unwelcome here, I'll be taking him and his brothers home," Then, in a show of pure aggression and power, he cocks his fist back and punches forward. Where his fist stops, the spaces cracks and shatters, revealing his Keep, "Come along,"

The King stands, "Stop! You can't just take that criminal away!"

Mal growls before pointing at the Princess, "Here is a curse of the fey. Every time you lie, your beauty will twist into ugliness and you will carry the stench of your sins. Nothing can lift it. Neither the dark nor the divine nor beyond. No power in all of Creation can undo this curse. You will carry it even in death,"

The smug light in the Princess's eyes snuffs out as her skin starts crawling as if there are worms beneath it. She screams in anguish and pain as the curse takes effect. Mal only sniffs at the sight, "I am not a demihuman. I'm a faerie. Not just any either, I am the Prince of the Dark Faeries. Master of Curses," He glares at her, "And I think everyone around you should at least bear witness to the ugliness of your heart. Only a brain dead idiot who thinks more with his dick than with his head will still believe you. But I wonder if he will stick close now that your beauty is lost and will only continue to degrade the longer you live?"

The spear Hero looks at him, "Is there no cure for this?"

Mal smirks cruelly, "Faerie curses are fatal,"

With that, he turns his back on them.

Danny shakes his head as his boys sleeps haphazardly in the ballroom on numerous beanbags around the room, party favors strewn all around them. He knows that they had wanted to bond with Harry and show him that he can be 'just Harry' with them. Still, dimensional skipping isn't something he thought they would drag the young wizard through. Sure, there are other methods to bond. However, amongst the others, Harry is not as hardy due to still being alive. Not to mention, his hand is the cleanest of blood, his first Defense Teacher not counted. The others are not so innocent. Maybe Mal is the only one closest in innocence to Harry.

Danny sits back, kicking his feet up as he sips on his juice.

No alcohol. He still can't handle them without bad memories coming to the forefront of his mind.

He puts his drink aside when he suddenly curls over in pain. He can't hear his son as they quickly rush towards him at the sound of his whimpering. Although asleep, somehow they are in tune to his pain. Danny tries not to scream as he can feel his body breaking under an assault of something long, thin, and hard.

His eyes flashes green as he witness the violence through the eyes of what can only be his child.

He watch as a clown laughs viciously, talking about clipping a robin's wings.

A girl, dressed like a Harlequin, simpers near, taunting his child with a...bat?

The bat crashes down on his child again.

Again.

Again.

Again.

Again.

Each hit harder than the one before. His bone breaks, his organ hurting. His lung pierced by a broken rib. Everything is in pain. His jaw is broken, his teeth all over the floor. His vision dim and hindered in one eye.

Danny don't know anything anymore. All he know is that his child is in pain and he can only reach him through his dying life. Across from his is a bomb. He can feel fear in his child's heart. His bones are all broken and shattered. He can't move. His organs are in a bad shape from all the beating.

He can't move.

"I'm scared..."

He wants to move but can't.

I'm sorry.

"B..."

Danny wants to diffuse the bomb, it looks so simple and so close but the body is too broken to even crawl.

I'm sorry.

"Where are you?"

Danny wants to say that he's there. He doesn't who this 'B' is but whoever it is, they are not coming. And even if they did, they are too late.

I'm sorry.

The number counts down, along with it the child's battered and bruised heart beats with fear and despair. He trembles in Danny's arms. Tears burning through his own good eyes, the other too hurt to even function.

I'm sorry.

Danny wants to reach for that boy so, so badly. He uses his power to envelope the boy's form even as the world burns all around him and his slightform shatters completely. He cradles his broken boy as gently as he can, taking on his pain and his burns as much as he could.

"I'll find you. I promise. I'll find you,"

The world is dark.

~

The boy that died in an explosion didn't form in his court. Danny mourns as he wonders if the boy is too hurt to come 'home'. His sons all flocks around him, trying to figure out about this 'missing' brother.

Danny promises, "I'll find you,"
