Sebastian transformed into his Animagus form as a large black raven and rose from Hogwarts. He soared up into the sky and passed through the atmosphere before entering the outer universe. He flew past the defense satellite Poseidon while phasing in and out of visibility several times. Sebastian quickly left the solar system and flew towards the direction where Tony and Reed had calculated that vibranium might appear.
Since gathering the first wisp of magical authority and becoming the source of magic for the new magic system, Sebastian no longer had any problems with mana consumption. At least this kind of continuous flight and continuous teleportation did not cause Sebastian to run out of mana or feel exhausted.
While flying in his raven form, Sebastian turned his head to look at the solar system behind him. The solar system was gradually shrinking and getting smaller as he flew away from it. His magical power formed a powerful vortex around him and covered Sebastian completely. Then it mixed with the energy of the Space Stone that Sebastian had pulled out from Hogwarts. The combined power suddenly tore through space itself and Sebastian escaped into it. He completely disappeared from outside the solar system.
Boom!
In an unknown part of the universe, Sebastian burst through space as he came out. He was immediately dragged by the gravity of nearby planets. He was gradually pulled down towards a yellow-green planet that was full of life.
Sebastian fell like a meteorite. He was mixed with flames as he passed through the atmosphere of the planet. Sebastian fell down while being protected by his magic. He smashed through a mountain and landed in a valley below.
He transformed back to his human form and stepped out from the crater. The crater was gradually filling with water. His body was clean without any dirt on it.
Sebastian looked at the strange surroundings around him. He saw yellow-green trees that looked like coral reefs from Earth's oceans. Sebastian briefly looked at them and then headed straight for the location where he sensed the presence of life. This was the first planet Sebastian had found with life on it. It was a perfect chance to explore and see if there were any magical materials he could use for Hogwarts.
Sebastian walked through the coral reef-like forest. He looked at the various plants growing there and was happily surprised to find two medicinal herbs with spiritual energy in them. He also found several coral trees that were old enough to have magical properties. He decided to take them away along with their roots and soil. He wanted to try planting them when he returned to Hogwarts.
Sebastian waved his wand at a large coral tree. The coral tree along with the soil holding onto its roots quickly came off from the ground. It was placed into Sebastian's storage bag through magic.
Just as Sebastian was about to leave and continue his search for more materials, sharp metal spears suddenly came down from the sky. They surrounded Sebastian on all sides. As the spears went into the ground around him, many metal bars sprang up from the spears. They trapped Sebastian inside a cage made of metal.
Sebastian looked at the cage around him but did not leave right away. Instead he stood quietly inside the cage and waited for the people who had captured him to arrive.
Sure enough Sebastian did not have long to wait before beams of light came down from the sky. Twelve heavily armed aliens appeared around the cage that was holding Sebastian. Each alien had a different appearance and was holding unknown weapons in their hands. They watched him carefully and slowly moved towards him with caution.
The aliens spoke in a language Sebastian did not understand. "%#@@#..."
Hearing the other person's strange words, Sebastian raised his wand. He tapped it lightly against his ear and then tapped it against his throat. He cast a translation magic that allowed him to have a normal conversation with the other person. At this time Sebastian finally understood what the other person had said to him.
"Who are you and why did you sneak into the planet of Kelanton to steal these valuable plants?"
"Kelanton? Is that the name of this planet? You look like you are guarding it. So can you tell me where the most valuable and oldest plant on this planet is located?"
The leader of the team was somewhat surprised that the prisoner would say what he said. He looked at Sebastian and spoke directly to him. "Maybe you have not figured it out yet. You are our prisoner now. If you do not answer our questions honestly then we will have no choice but to treat you badly.
Although we really want to know how you got here to this planet, if you have made us angry then we do not need to know anymore. Killing you directly will save us a lot of trouble."
Sebastian looked at the alien leader and laughed at his threat. He waved his wand and drew a circle in the air at the cage in front of him. Right away the metal cage bars melted away and formed a round hole in the cage. Sebastian stepped out through the hole and looked at the shocked soldiers or mercenaries standing around him. He said to them calmly, "Now you twelve are my prisoners. Please answer my questions honestly."
"Open fire! Kill him now!"
The squad leader was a truly quick thinker who acted fast. When he noticed Sebastian's unusual behavior and power, he immediately ordered his men to fire their weapons and remove any danger.
Red laser beams shot out from the weapons the men were holding. But as the laser beams got close to Sebastian, they curved around him like bent rays of light. They went past his body without causing any harm to him. This was the power of gravity within Sebastian that protected him.
"Captain what kind of monster is this guy? He is not even afraid of our laser guns!"
"Use high-powered bombs! I do not believe they cannot kill him!"
"But our employer does not allow us to use high-powered weapons on this planet. Otherwise we will damage the plants and..."
"Forget that rule! If we do not use high-powered weapons right now then we will all die here!"
The captain threw something that looked like a grenade at Sebastian.
The grenade exploded in the air. It released a huge artificial gravitational field that pulled everything within its range towards the center. This included Sebastian who was standing nearby.
Yet Sebastian was standing calmly within the exploding gravity field. He was not affected by the attack at all as if it were just a gentle breeze. He waved his wand and cast a disarming spell to remove the weapons from the men's hands. The weapons flew away from them. Sebastian continued speaking to them. "Since you do not want to answer my questions then I will not be polite anymore."
With just a thought from Sebastian, a large network of vines and roots came out from the ground beneath them. They firmly tied up the twelve alien men so they could not move.
Just as Sebastian reached the captain and was getting ready to use magic to read his memories, twelve beams of light suddenly came down from the sky above. The beams hit the twelve men and quickly carried them off the planet's surface. They were taken back to the spaceship which was floating outside the planet's atmosphere.
Sebastian looked up at the spaceship which was still hovering outside the planet's atmosphere in space. He raised his wand calmly and gently pointed it in that direction. A huge gravitational pull instantly acted on the spaceship from below. It pulled the ship down into the planet's atmosphere while the people inside shouted in panic. The ship was sent falling towards the ground below.
Just as the spaceship was about to crash into the ground, it suddenly stopped in mid-air. The people inside were thrown violently into the ceiling like objects shaken in cans. They were getting hurt badly from the impact. At the same time they looked out and saw their spaceship being torn apart by invisible hands like someone tearing a cardboard box!
Author's Note: Sebastian's first encounter with aliens did not go well for them! What will he find on this strange planet?
