A/N: Well, here it is, finally. I'm sorry this took so long. I had a real hard time just writing the damn thing, then it took my beta a while, as he was rather busy with his own life. In any case, here it is. Hope you enjoy it, and don't hate me too much. I'll see if I can work on actually getting my brain to work WITH me on this, instead of working on it whenever it feels like it. I do believe it was Stephen King who, in his book Bag of Bones, said that a writer is simply one who has taught his or her mind to misbehave. :shrug:

Knight25, in response to your question (which was an extremely good question, by the way)...I will, if you wish, PM you with what I plan to have happen in regard to the whole Mirai timeline. Drop me a line and let me know, yeah?

Disclaimer: The fun about this sentence is that you don't realize it doesn't say anything until you've finished reading it. Also, I don't own Dragonball Z or Harry Potter. I write for fun, not profit. So don't sue me kthxbai.

Oh, and before I forget, once more, I must give thanks to my awesome beta, Willikins. Check out his Pokémon fanfiction "Chronicles of an Affair". Mayhap your reviews will give him the wherewithal to work on it. Or at least announce publicly that it'll be discontinued. ...Try to get him to continue writing it.

"This" - is dialogue.

'This' - is thought.

This - is emphasis, in place of CAPSLOCK.

MagicKi: An HPDBZ Story

Chapter 3 - Saving Little Gohan, Part II

Last

"Yeah!" Goku replied, moving his arms and stretching. The two of them walked outside, and Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco followed.

Now

"Radditz went that way," Goku said, pointing off in one direction.

"How can you tell?" Hermione asked in that tone she got when she was in a class.

Harry, Draco, and Ron all rolled their eyes while Goku said, "I can't sense him, because he's unfamiliar, but I can sense Gohan's ki easily. It's like a beacon."

Hermione nodded, and Draco said, "That's all well and good, and you two can fly and all, but how are we supposed to keep up with you?"

Goku thought for a moment, then went back in the house, coming back with two glowing balls and an odd circular machine. "Do you have a way to get from one place to another quickly? And silently?"

"Apparating," Harry said immediately, and at Goku's confused look, elaborated, "Transporting instantaneously."

Goku nodded in understanding and handed Harry the machine, saying, "That's Bulma's Dragon Radar. We used it to find these." He held the two balls aloft. "Dragonballs." With that, he handed Piccolo the other ball, and they prepared to take off.

"Hold on!" Harry said, "Apparating isn't silent."

"Then one of us can go and cast the Muffliato spell on Radditz," Hermione said immediately. "I've thought about it since you mentioned Apparition, Harry. You three can Apparate to points along the way, and I'll fly with Goku and Piccolo to near where Radditz is. Then I'll cast the Muffliato, as I'm the only one of us who can do it wordlessly. If you can sense Gohan, Goku, I think it'd be safe to assume Radditz could sense you and Piccolo coming, so you'd probably want to dampen your ki levels, if at all possible."

Goku nodded once more, seeing the sense in this, and picked up Hermione effortlessly, who squealed in surprise. "Well, did you think we were going to wait? Radditz has Gohan right now, you know," Goku said, shifting Hermione so that she could cling to his back. He looked back at the three boys and said, "Thanks, you guys. I really appreciate it," before he and Piccolo both crouched, and launched themselves into the air, Hermione clinging to Goku like moss to a rock. Draco smirked at Hermione's reaction.

"I'm sure it isn't as frightening as she makes it seem," he said quietly to Ron and Harry. Harry nodded in response, and Ron looked oddly jealous as Goku, Piccolo, and Hermione sped off.

"Merlin, Ron, don't look so green," Draco said, now turning all of his attention to Ron, who simply glowered at him before muttering, "Are we ready?" Harry nodded and the three of them turned on their heels as one, vanishing into the air with a tiny "pop!"

"Do you think they'll be alright?" ChiChi asked, and Bulma shook her head at ChiChi's mothering instincts gone hyperactive in the absence of "her baby".

"I'm sure they'll be fine, ChiChi," she replied. "They wouldn't have offered to go if they weren't confident that they could beat that kidnapping asshole."

Meanwhile, Hermione was flying along with Goku and Piccolo, and found that it wasn't nearly as scary as it had seemed initially. Also, Goku had only laughed at her squeals and flew even faster. That taught Hermione a lesson in fast. So now they were flying along, Hermione thinking about Ron and Gohan. Gohan really was adorable, from what little Hermione had seen of him. She tapped Goku on the shoulder and asked, "How old is Gohan?"

"He's four. Today is his fourth birthday, as a matter of fact," Goku replied, the sadness evident in his voice. "Today was supposed to be a celebration, but now we've got four people from Kami-knows-where, and the focus of today's celebration is in the hands of a crazed man far more powerful than I am." Hermione's face scrunched as though she were about to cry.

"We'll get Gohan back, Goku," she said in a strong voice. "I swear it."

"...Thanks, Hermione."

As they flew, Harry, Ron, and Draco were Apparating every few thousand feet. After they'd all nearly exhausted themselves, Ron said, "Why don't we take turns Apparating? If we time it right, we can get there nearly as quickly. And we can hand the Dragon Radar off to whoever's doing the Apparating." Harry and Draco thought this was surprisingly brilliant, and Harry took the Dragon Radar first.

With a look to Ron and Draco who were holding tightly, Harry spun on his heel and Apparated, dragging Draco and Ron along.

They reappeared momentarily with a "pop!" and Harry handed the Radar to Ron, who glanced at it to keep them on the right course, and Apparated. They appeared again, Ron handed the Radar to Draco, who mimicked Ron's actions, and Apparated once more.

They continued in this fashion until they were nearly on top of Goku's, Piccolo's, and Hermione's signal. "Ron, hold on," Harry said as he handed Ron the Radar. At Ron's slightly confused look, he continued. "We should probably give the others a chance to land, and Hermione a chance to cast the Muffliato. Plus, I don't know about you, but I'm just a tad exhausted." Ron nodded in understanding, and Draco smirked, but nodded and sat down cross-legged on the ground.

Goku, and Piccolo, meanwhile, had landed, and Goku had managed to make Hermione let go of him and get on the ground. Once she'd gotten herself composed, she pulled out her wand and allowed Goku to direct her to where Radditz stood. She saw him soon enough, placing Gohan inside a crater. Hermione thought, 'Muffliato!', pointing her wand at Radditz. The only way Hermione knew the spell had hit was by the slight twitch of Radditz's tail.

At that moment, Harry, Ron, and Draco arrived with a small "pop!"

"Great timing, you three," Goku said as Ron handed him the Dragon Radar. "Radditz is right there."

"And Gohan?" Harry asked.

"In that crater," Hermione answered. They would have talked more, but Piccolo chose that moment to cut in. "Are you three just going to talk all day? Or are we actually going to get this fight done?!" With that, he launched himself through the air toward Radditz, with Goku on his tail. The four teenagers looked at one another, and, in unison, spun on their heels and Apparated after the two appeared just as Goku and Piccolo touched down.

Harry, Ron, and Draco all unsheathed their wands and waited until, suddenly, Goku charged forward, kneeing the bigger man in the back with enough to send him roughly...three inches forward.

Goku's eyes widened for an instant before Radditz grunted and spun in a flash, hitting Goku with a rather powerful haymaker that sent the smaller fighter a good deal more than three inches. Harry, Hermione, Draco, and Ron all pointed their wands at Goku and shouted, "Arresto Momentum!" Goku's body slowed almost imperceptibly until the four spells hit him full force, stopping him completely and allowing him to shoot back towards them, blasting Radditz just as he was about to collide with the four teenagers.

Radditz careened off-course, flying into a large rock as Goku said to Piccolo, "We should probably remove some of these weights." Piccolo nodded in agreement, and removed his turban and cape, dropping them both to the ground, where they hit and made small webbed cracks in the ground. Goku, meanwhile, proceeded to remove his wristbands, boots, and gi, causing Hermione to blush at the sight of Goku's torso, and Ron, Harry, and Draco to all feel rather self-conscious.

The four of them also felt a change in the air as Goku and Piccolo's auras made themselves known in a burst of light and sound. As they did, Radditz gave a loud yell, shattering the rock he'd crashed into before charging for Goku and Piccolo, who looked at each other and smirked before charging Radditz, colliding with the juggernaut-esque man in a series of punches, kicks, jabs, uppercuts, roundhouses, and the like, progressing so quickly that all the four Hogwarts students could do was try to follow the little shockwaves that appeared every time a hit made contact.

Suddenly, Piccolo went flying, and Radditz had Goku by the throat. Harry's eyes flashed, and he shouted, "Tarantallegra!" as he pointed his wand at Radditz. The curse hit Radditz dead-on, causing his legs to perform a frenzied dance. He fixed his eyes on Harry even as he lost his hold on Goku, and lifted a hand to shoot a ki blast at Harry. The blast left his hand and hurtled toward Harry, who simply held his wand aloft in reflex, and gaped as his wand appeared to absorb the ki blast through its tip.

"That's useful," Harry said with a grin, before realizing that Radditz had managed to flare his ki enough to break the curse Harry had sent him. "And so is that, I suppose," Harry muttered as Radditz began to charge, only to be knocked off-course by Piccolo, who managed to send a punch to Radditz's solar plexus that winded him and sent him flying toward Goku, who grabbed Radditz's tail with a grin on his face.

Radditz's face contorted in shock as he floated slowly to the ground, landing on his knees. "Please...Kakarott...Please..." he grunted. "Let...let me go..."

"No, Goku!" Piccolo said, beginning to charge an attack, holding his two fingers in front of his forehead as electricity sparked at his fingertips. "It's a trick! Don't let him trick you!"

"Please...You wouldn't let him kill your brother...Would you, Kakarott?" Radditz pleaded, his voice truly desperate. "I'm sorry, Kakarott...Please, let me go...Don't let him kill me..."

Goku's hands slowly started to loosen their hold, and their owner slowly started to straighten as his sympathetic nature took the forefront. He didn't notice the evil grin that had spread across his brother's face, and Piccolo's shout of, "Goku, no!" came a bit too late as Radditz's leg flashed upward, kicking Goku so hard, Harry was surprised it didn't snap his jaw.

Radditz laughed as he flew toward Piccolo at an unimaginable speed, catching the arm that Piccolo had been charging his attack with, and wrenching it. The force of his pull, with the momentum from his flight caused a look of utter agony to adorn Piccolo's face as his arm was torn off his torso, leaving only a few hanging strands of skin and tendon.

Hermione actually screamed, while Harry, Ron, and Draco looked furious, sick, and shocked, respectively. Radditz's laughter continued as he began to beat the green-skinned man with his own arm, then gave up and flew over to Goku and began to press his foot down on Goku's chest, putting all of his weight on his foot and laughing as Goku began screaming in pain.

Suddenly, Radditz stopped and looked toward the crater, a look of confusion on his face. Harry, Draco, Hermione, and Ron all looked toward the crater as well, where they could sense a major ki building and fluctuating dangerously. 'Is that Gohan?!' Harry thought, before a cry of "Daddy!" rang through the air. The five of them - Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco, and Radditz - watched with shock as Gohan burst out of what appeared to be a capsule, landing on the ground in front of the crater, his aura pulsating wildly as tears coursed down Gohan's face past his tightly clenched jaw. It was apparent that Radditz never expected such power and lethality from a four-year-old.

Gohan yelled, "You leave my daddy alone!", and launched himself forward toward Radditz. The shock stayed on Radditz's face as Gohan headbutted his midriff hard enough to crack the armor and completely stun Radditz. Gohan landed on the ground as Radditz fell backward, only to be caught by a just-standing Goku, who quickly caught Radditz in a full nelson.

"Now, Piccolo!" he shouted, and Piccolo stood slowly, purple blood leaking out of where his arm used to be.

"With pleasure," he said as he placed his fingertips in front of his forehead once more, electricity starting to spark again. Radditz started to struggle, but Goku held firm, determined not to let Radditz take advantage of him again.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco watched in fear and uncertainty as Piccolo continued to charge his attack and Goku and Radditz remained locked in their deadly stalemate.

Finally, Piccolo said, "It's ready! Dodge this!" Pointing his two fingers at Radditz, he shouted, "Special Beam Cannon!!!" A shot of thin ki projected from his fingertips surrounded by a spiraling beam, and everyone watched as Gohan leapt out of the way moment before the beam pierced straight through Radditz...and Goku.

"Daddy!" Gohan cried as he tried to run toward Goku and Radditz, only to find himself held firmly by Hermione. Ron and Draco went to confront Piccolo, while Harry headed for Goku, who was now being crushed by Radditz. He got to them just as Ron and Draco got to Piccolo.

"You knew it would do that, didn't you?" Ron demanded as Piccolo began flexing the shoulder of his missing arm.

"Yup. I finally got my revenge on that bastard Goku," Piccolo replied with a dark smirk.

"You are the bastard, you idiot," Draco sneered, only to have Piccolo come within five inches of his face.

"I did just save us all, you know," he said in a deadly voice, before stepping back with a pained grimace. He started to breathe heavily, and with a yell, strained until a new arm forced itself out of his shoulder blade, much to the shock (and slight disgust)of Ron and Draco.

They couldn't react, however, as Hermione suddenly screamed, "Harry!!"

Harry had bent down and tried to move Radditz, only to find that a nigh impossible task. So he grabbed a hold of Goku and started to pull. His face hung over Radditz's as he pulled, when suddenly, Radditz's hand shot up and grabbed Harry by the hair, causing the black-haired teenager to cry out. "I'm not dead yet," Radditz whispered, before his other hand shot up and punched Harry in the nose. The angle he hit it caused the cartilage that Harry's nose was made of to be pushed upward and inward, piercing Harry's brain and causing him to die before he hit the ground as Radditz released his hair with a soft chuckle and said, "This won't end. You will see…You all will see…I am not alone…"

"Harry!"
