In a humble home in Godric's Hollow, Albus Dumbledore paced around his study. The man has been receiving updates on everything Gellert Grindelwald and he didn't like what he heard.

Many people waited outside the study for his decision. Two of these people are the famous Newt Scamander and the snake in human form herself, Nagini.

They have seen what horrors Grindelwald has done and will do, so they wish to put a stop to the madness.

Gellert has taken over some Nazi organization and planned to bomb major muggle cities, killing every occupant.

Albus didn't know what to do. Should he get involved and stop a man that was once very dear to him, or should he sit back and allow the world to continue its spiral into chaos?

After pacing for the last time, Albus left his study and addressed everyone.

"We will put a stop to Gellert and his plans. He can't be allowed to act with such foolishness any longer." Albus says and smiles bloomed on everyone's faces as they knew that Albus was a key part to beating Grindelwald. "Sweets!"

*pop*

"Yes, Master Alby?" The elf said upon its arrival.

"Take us to Gellert's location."

———————————————————————————

"I know I said this before, but I mean it this time. Try not to die so easily!"

In the tunnel entrance to the Hydra Main base, three people could be seen. Two men staring down one another and a woman standing off to the side with worry written all over her face.

The older man dressed in a fine suit with blonde hair and a stick in hand. The other younger man dressed casually with black hair, a bone wand in one hand, and a golden broad sword in the other. Dozens of golden chains with weapons of every kind attached to the end emerged from his body.

These three people are obviously Grindelwald, Tom, and Druella.

The chains attached to Tom rear back like a snake and shoot forward at a lightning-fast speed.

When Grindelwald saw these chains, he knew he was in for a tougher fight than he's had so far. Up to now, this duel has been a walk in the park for him.

His eyes widen as the chains come crashing down at him. He immediately apparates to a safe distance and the weapons on the end of the chains imbed themselves into the metal floor.

As Grindelwald appears a few meters away, more chains move in for the strike once again.

The golden chains dance in the air, as Grindelwald constantly teleports for his life. Every time he appears in a new area, more weapons come striking down at such force that even a shield made with the elder wand wouldn't hold for long.

Slowly but surely, Grindelwald's magic reserves start running low. With every use of apparition, his magic supply is being expended.

On the other hand, Tom is calling forth energy that is quite literally inexhaustible. He could summon these chains all day as long as he has good control, which he does after days of nonstop practice. Not to mention the years spent working with eldritch energy, perfecting his use of it.

Sweat started to appear on Gellert's face as the huge loss of his magic takes a toll on his body. With every teleport, he starts huffing and puffing for air to fuel his tired body. The constant teleportation breaking his regular breathing cycle, causing Grindelwald to run out of oxygen.

With a lack of air, Gellert starts to get dizzy and is slow to apparate away. Two golden swords attached to chains pierce both of his thighs and pin him to the floor.

"AHHHHH!" Gellert screams in pain.

The agonizing pain makes Grindelwald forget to apparate away. Even if he did, the energy from the swords would disrupt the teleportation and cancel it.

On top of all this, Gellert can't move or else the swords would cut his legs further than they already have.

While Grindelwald screams in pain, suddenly the sound of elf travel could be heard.

*pop*

Albus Dumbledore appears along with a few dozen armed wizards and witches. They survey the area and are shocked to see Gellert pinned to the floor by golden swords.

They then sees Tom and Druella, both dressed in muggle clothes with porcelain masks hiding their faces.

"What in the world!?" Albus exclaims as he sees the chains connected to Tom coiled in the air like angered snakes.

"Albus! Is that you?!" Gellert screams as his vision is blurred due to the pain.

He tries to stay as still as possible so the swords don't cause further damage to his legs. Blood starts to pool heavily around Gellert's feet as he starts to feel his body grow heavy.

"Yes, what's going on?" Dumbledore asks as he runs over to Grindelwald's side.

The rest of his group stay where they arrived and look on curiously.

Before he could get halfway there, golden spears pierce into the ground in front of him. Chains wrap around the spears creating a fence to block Albus's path.

"I'm going to say this once." Tom says, addressing Dumbledore and the people he brought along. "Leave the area now, or I'll consider you an enemy."

When Dumbledore heard that voice, he couldn't believe it. With all the time spent in his class, it's hard not to recognize a student's voice. Especially this student.

Albus turned to stare at the masked man with dozens of golden chains emerging from his body. He looked closer and saw the dark black hair and the bright red eyes. He's only seen eyes like those from one person, Tom Riddle.

"Tom Riddle, is that you?" Albus asks in shock.

"*sigh* I guess the disguise doesn't work against people who know me very well. After all, you are my stalker." Tom comments as he takes off his mask and drops it to the ground. "I won't be needing that anymore."

Dumbledore looks over at the girl on the side and immediately he knew who it was. There was only one girl that rarely left Toms side.

"Druella as well. What are you two doing here?" He asks and Druella removes her mask as well.

"Ugh, thank you. It was getting hot in that thing." She says as he waves over the Albus. "Hello, Professor."

"What does it look like we're doing, Professor?" Tom asks, gesturing to the pale and dying Gellert Grindelwald.

"B-but..." Albus looks around in confusion.

"Albus... help me, please!" Grindelwald calls out as it gets harder and harder to stay still. "He's going to kill me."

During the distraction of Dumbledore's arrival, he tried to apparate away, but the Eldritch energy from the sword blocked it. His only hope for survival is the man that just arrived.

Albus looked at Gellert with alarm and didn't know what to do. He wanted to come here and subdue Gellert, not kill him. That was an option for the last resort. Although he has gone down such a dark and bloody path, Albus couldn't bring himself to kill the man he once knew.

Seeing Professor Dumbledore's indecision, Tom speaks up once more.

"Usually I wouldn't repeat myself, but I will say it again, Professor. Leave the area now, or I'll consider you an enemy."
