Location: Camelot Reborn – The Heart of Avalon
The multiverse was healing—but the war wasn't over.
Harry stood atop the highest tower of New Camelot, watching the sky ripple with shifting dimensions. Behind him, Merlin and Charles Xavier prepared the next phase of their plan.
"She's returning," Charles said grimly. "Not the Dark Phoenix—but the True Phoenix. The cosmic force in full. And it's looking for hosts."
Harry turned. "Then we choose who it finds."
The Selection
In the Round Hall, the greatest minds and magics gathered:
Jean Grey, soul purified after her battle with the corrupted Phoenix.
Wanda Maximoff, her chaos magic stabilized.
Storm, daughter of the sky, her mutant powers fused with divine lineage.
Luna Lovegood, seer and soul-bonded to the multiverse.
And to everyone's surprise—Ginny Weasley, brought from a splinter timeline, carrying within her the spark of a forgotten goddess.
Harry spoke with authority.
"The Phoenix isn't just destruction—it's rebirth. These five… are our answer. Our guardians of fire and fate."
Merlin raised his staff. "I dub them… the Phoenix Knights."
Flames erupted—not wild and red, but golden and calm, spiraling around each woman as they were elevated, transfigured by the power of balance and fire.
Jean led the transformation, her hair glowing white-gold, her armor a fusion of X-Men and Avalon sigils. "This time," she said, "we shape the fire."
Training Begins
In the celestial chamber of Camelot, the Phoenix Knights learned to weave their flames through magic and memory. Merlin taught them old spells. Xavier trained their minds. Wanda learned to rewrite destiny itself.
But danger lurked.
Across the stars, the Nameless One began corrupting other Phoenix hosts—building his own Dark Flight, fallen avatars twisted by fear.
Storm stood before the team. "Then we'll bring light to their darkness."
Jean nodded. "Phoenixes don't burn the world. We light the way."
Harry smiled, watching his friends—his family—rise.
The multiverse had guardians.
And fire had found its purpose.
