HP X LOTM : Please Call Me Mr. Error.

But with no sparks going up Fleur focused on keeping her units alive to damage as much of the Guardian Turret as she could.

And just as the health bar dropped to half of the Guardian Turret, Fluer suddenly heard a loud fantastical explosion.

*BBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM*

Her eyes were directed towards the sound, the sky, and her pupils shrank when she saw the large red sparks dancing in the sky, glaringly obvious even through the fog.

'So they'd begun attacking too.' Fleur reasoned.

With the Guardian Tower at half health Fleur found it unnecessary to move her units away from the tower, so she rushed towards the the top lane on her own after healing her units to full health.

'They might not last the whole way through to the nexus if someone interferes, but they'll probably be enough to take down this Guardian Tower at least.'

A few minutes earlier.

Looking around at the assortment of small beasts he had collected, Krum was quite happy since although they couldn't be used to destroy a Guardian Turret since they were too weak, they would serve as excellent distractors for any of the enemy creatures that might come to attack their towers.

Just as he was about to turn around and rush through the jungles to go and support Fleur on the bottom lane by using his creatures to defend her, he heard a sharp *BANG* from the upper lane which he was close to.

Krum looked in that direction for a few seconds and heard the same *BANG* again.

That was when he realised that someone was attacking his Guardian Turret in the top lane.

Krum thought about it for a few seconds and coldly decided to abandon his own turret in favour of mounting a heavy and quick attack on the bottom lane. This decision wasn't a panicked one since it had been about fifteen minutes since Fleur had left for the bottom lane.

Factoring in five minutes to go to the Guardian Turret, ten minutes was plenty of time for her to have lowered its health since clearly, their opponent had abandoned defence in favour of attacking them too.

Just as Krum was about to run through the forest however, he heard a twig *snap* before a sharp *swish* forced him to dodge the attack by rolling on the forest floor as he looked at his attacker.

Krum stood up and looked at his attacker.

"Harry Potter."

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you go, captain's orders."

With a soft smile, Harry started his attack once again as *BANGS* resounded in their background.

Krum instantly put up a shield to keep himself safe from Harry's attacks while directing his little demons to attack him.

The horde of little demons, made up of Red Caps, Re'em's and Snallygasters rushed towards Harry- except Harry appeared completely calm as he stood there without doing a thing.

Krum's brows furrowed as he quickly scanned around Harry to understand what gave him the confidence to retaliate or guard himself, a card he hadn't revealed yet but was the source of his confidence.

That's when his eyes widened with fear.

Hovering above Harry's shoulders were a pair of blue eyes.

It seemed like Harry had used the invisibility cloaks he had gotten to hide his own 'troupes'.

*Grrrr*

'Those damn cats!!' Krum screamed like a little girl inside his mind.

A low growl later, Krum spotted several pairs of eyes in the dark among the canopy of the trees.

For a few seconds, Krum froze as his body trembled with worry and fear, but then he dragged courage out of his gut and pointed his wand towards the sky.

Harry retaliated by launching a series of spells to prevent Krum from revealing their position and asking for help.

Forced to defend against Harry's chain of heavy spells, Krum dodged once again as he sprinted into the forest.

Too bad for him though, the Matagots followed his every move with their beady eyes.

With Krum being chased around in the forest, Harry took his sweet time getting rid of the smaller demons that Krum had collected before everyone was alerted first by Krum's shout for help in the form of a large red flare, but soon after two notifications appeared at once in front of everyone-

A transparent shimmering screen like before appeared in front of everyone with fancy words on it.

[Congratulations to Team Red for being the first to destroy a Guardian Turret! As a reward for this achievement, your beasts are now twice as strong and hit twice as hard once tamed.]

Harry's eyes widened at the statement.

Neither he nor Loki had guessed something like this would happen.

Very soon however they saw a new notification.

[Congratulations to Team Blue for being the second to destroy a Guardian Turret. As a reward for this achievement, you beasts are now twice as strong once tamed.]

Although this wasn't as good as the red team's reward since their beasts would also hit harder, while team blue's beasts would only have a little more health, they were forced to accept it.

Harry nodded and rushed towards the Nexus so that he could defend the various enemies that were most likely still moving towards it after they had destroyed the Guardian Turret.

To his surprise, however, when Harry reached the bottom lane after first checking on the middle lane, he found no creatures there.

He quickly reached the nexus and became happy when he saw Loki there sitting on his tamed Zouwu.

"These guys are good at jumping around. He reached the bottom lane in two jumps from the top lane.", Loki explained patting the large cat while it tried slapping the disco ball in between its paws.

"What do we do now?" Harry asked quickly.

"Now that we both have a lane free to attack each other's nexus it will become a race to see who'll gather more troops quicker and reach the nexus first-"

"-or at least that is how it would've been if Team Red didn't get that sudden boost."

"What now then?"

"They'll need much less time than us to gather their monsters since they need only half the number to create the same attack as us. And in the time they mount their first attack, one of them will likely stay back to bring a second wave of monsters so that as soon as our defending pets die they'll try to use that opportunity to breakthrough."

Harry nodded since he had followed along until then.

"I have a simple plan." Loki said with a smile.

"What do you need me to do?"

"I need you to keep them distracted after you have a few more tamed animals. Once you keep them distracted for a while I will-"

Fleur and Krum at the same time formulated their own plan after they defeated the creatures that Loki had left behind to march towards the Nexus.

"I'm sure z'hey'll have to spend more focus on z'efending their territory now z'that we have monsters that are twice as strong as theirs since z'hey will be slower than us if they go full attack mode." Fleur said.

"So you want to attack them faster so that we can send multiple waves of enemies at them?" Krum asked with a knowing smile.

Fleur nodded and then they both took off from their spots, rushing into the forest to tame more creatures.

Meanwhile, Harry and the audience were getting excited since they had all heard exactly what Loki's plan was.

A few in the audience however voiced their descent.

"How is that fair!? The Zouwu can jump so far so easily!!!"

"That promises that Team Blue is going to win for sure!!"

"Are you a fool!? Of course, it is well-balanced. Team Red has creatures that can break through Team Blue's defences much easier. Especially that Runespoor! Simply leaving one of them at the Nexus will give them enough time to attack and defeat Team Blue."

"It's not even the Runespoor that's too strong! They even have a Queen Vampyr Mosp that can simply fly over the entire jungle to attack the nexus!!! It's their fault for not taming it till now!!"
