A/N: So, another chapter has finally been written. I want to thank all of you for your support and patience. I will continue this story to its very end as long as you keep reading and reviewing.

This chapter is really rushed because I really hate the Saiyan Saga, but it seemed the best place to start due to power differences. So, I will apologize in advance for how rushed this chapter must feel. I will get into the hang of things again and I promise that the next chapter will be way better. So, many ideas for the next one as well. Let's just say Voldermort may make another appearance. Maybe.

So, without further adieu, I give you chapter six, A Hero's Return. Remember to read and review.

A Hero's Return

Hermione and Luna sat with their legs dangling off the lookout, peering over the edge, hoping to see the events unfold below them. Of course, there was no such luck. Hermione gave a groan and rolled back to her feet. Luna looked back at the brunette witch with a blank glance. She laid on her back and sprawled her arms out behind her, her feet still dangling of the edge.

"You know, you should have faith in them. They are strong and can get through it. I believe in Ronald and Neville. You should too."

Hermione froze and her shoulders gave a shake. "It's just so hard. If we go down there we will just be killed. We weren't trained for that kind of combat. We were just trained to heal," she let out a sob, "I just feel so useless."

Luna continued to look upwards towards the bright blue sky, a small smile tugged at the corner of her lips.

"You know, for being the smartest witch of our age, you sure are forgetful," commented Luna, her eyes tracing the clouds above.

Hermione's head jerked towards the blonde, anger filled her eyes. She was not in the mood for Luna's quirkiness right now. This was a serious matter and it should be dealt as such. She opened her mouth to make a smart retort, but Luna beat her to the punch.

"Harry."

That name made Hermione's tongue tie up and her brain just about stop. She was right. Harry was on his way back right now, along with Goku. There was still hope. Whenever Harry was near, she had the courage to believe everything was going to be alright. She trusted him to do the right thing, to make sure everything would turn out okay. A smile appeared on Hermione's lips.

"Yeah, you're right. Harry is coming back."

On the other side of the Lookout, a very worried Mr. Popo stood next to a much weakened Kami. The namek leaned very heavily on his cane, running short of breath. Sweat was forming on his brow; the fatigue was setting in heavily. He gave a sigh a turned to his close friend.

"I believe my end is near, Mr. Popo. Piccolo is loosing his fight. When he passes on, I shall follow. We are tied to the same life, my old friend. I just hope that Goku and Harry arrive on time so I can retrieve them."

The duo sat in silence for quite some time before Kami's antenna gave a sudden jerk. His eyes grew wide as he looked to Mr. Popo.

"They're there!"

Kami teleported out of the realm of the living.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"There it is, Harry!"

The Check-in Station stood out amongst the clouds that seemed never ending. Snake Way once again came to an end.

Goku gave a whoop of joy as he and Harry landed on the serpent's path. They darted for the building, knowing that they didn't have a moment to spare. The duo burst through the door, surprising King Yemma. The giant red demon didn't look very pleased.

"What- What is the meaning of this?!" he tried unsuccessfully to located the perpetrators, "when I find who did this I'm going to-"

"King Yemma! King Yemma, down here!" yelled Goku from bellow. He and Harry were waving, trying to get the King's attention. King Yemma looked over the edge of his desk and peered down at the two. He gave a slight gasp.

"Well, I'll be. Harry Potter and Son Goku, well, I never thought you would have actually made it to Snake Way. Good for you. How was your trip? Dull I pres-"

Harry cut him off, "Sorry, King Yemma, but we really need a way to get back to Earth."

King Yemma looked thoughtful for a second, "So, you are alive now?"

Harry and Goku both pointed to their heads, or to the absence of their halos, rather.

"Yes, I see," the red giant went quiet for a second, "Well, there is nothing I can do for you there. Some one from Earth would have to come get you but-"

Kami flashed in, "No time for hellos. I can only take one of you at a time. Goku, quick grab on!"

Goku gave a quick looked at Harry before grasping Kami's arm. They both vanished from the realm. This left Harry all alone with King Yemma. A silence grew between them. It was getting a little awkward, so King Yemma decided to break the ice.

"So, a wizard, huh?"

Harry hung his head. This was going to be the longest wait of his life.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"This is the longest wait of my life," complained Ron as the hour slowly ticked by. The five of them sat on the grass, trying to rest. They were dead tired. Ron looked back over to the two saiyans, who seemed to be just as bored as he was. He gave another sigh, "I mean, I don't really want to fight them anymore. We are getting pounded on, but at this rate, I think I will die of boredom before that ugly, bald, transfigured toad over there gets the chance."

Krillin gave a look of disgust Ron's way, "Would you shut it, Weasley? Try to think positive. Goku should be here soon. We just have to last long enough. Hopefully he will be able to help."

"Yeah, my dad is on his way. He will teach those big bullies a thing, or two!"

"Will you guys shut up?!"

Piccolo's shout made everyone, including Neville, who had been very quiet during the wait, jump. Piccolo seemed to be short of breath. He was fatigued far worse than everybody else and he seemed to not be getting any better. Gohan looked down in shame.

"Sorry, Mr. Piccolo."

Piccolo looked to Gohan and gave a sigh, "It's alright, kid. Let's just rest while we still have a chance."

The others nodded and remained quiet. It remained this way for quite awhile before finally a beeping noise emitted from the saiyan's direction. The five warriors looked at each other. The break had ended. It was time to pick up where they had left off.

OoOoOoOoO

"Nimbus!"

The shout had shaken Hermione out of her thoughts. Her eyes took to the sky as she saw a flying yellow cloud with a man perched on top of it. He sped off into the horizon while Hermione grabbed Luna's arm and dragged her towards Kami.

As they made their way over to him, they saw the elderly namek fall to his knees, completely out of breath. His skin seemed to be flushing in and out, almost transparent. He whispered something to Mr. Popo before dropping his head. Mr. Popo had tears streaming down his face as Kami drew his last breath and faded out of existence.

Hermione gasped as her teacher faded from sight.

"I- Is he gone?" she asked anxiously.

Mr. Popo gave a nod. A small sob escaped him as he tried not to breakdown. There was still much to be done. He grabbed Kami's cane which had fallen to the ground, left behind by the guardian of Earth. He slowly hobbled over to the throne room. He turned to the two girls.

"With Kami gone, there is no one to send Harry back to us. I am going to use Kami's cane to try and contact King Yemma and see if he is willing to open a portal to Earth for him. It may be our only hope of bringing him back."

A light slowly started to envelope Mr. Popo as he tapped Kami's cane a few times against the floor.

OoOoOoOoO

Ron struggled to his feet as the behemoth onslaught continued on poor Neville. Ron was helpless to help his friend. He didn't have any more energy and could barely stand on his own to feet. He looked to his other two friends, Krillin and Gohan. Both were completely out of commission. Ron hung his head down. This was how it was going to end. Neville didn't stand a chance and he was out of energy. His hope that Harry, or Goku, would show up had been crushed. Neville was flung into the distance, the sounds of bones cracking could be heard as he rolled to a rough stop. Ron's eyes closed. He could feel Nappa's eyes on him. He was next. He gave a deep breath as he felt a massive energy gather. In a few seconds it would be over.

The blast was deafening. It shook the Earth to its very core. Ron didn't even feel the pain. Mostly because the blast missed him. He slowly opened his eyes to reveal that he was a safe distance away from the two saiyans and that his three friends, while beaten and broken, were right next to him. A man in an orange gi, not unlike the one Krillin was wearing was walking towards him.

"You must be Ron. Harry has told me so much about you. About everyone, really," the man reached into this gi and pulled out a pouch of senzu beans and took one out, "here, eat this. You will feel much better."

Ron did as he was told and slid the bean into his mouth and started chewing. Suddenly, all of his power and strength came rushing back. He felt better than he did even before the fight started. Oh, how he loved senzu beans.

Goku made his way over and gave each of the others the same treatment. They were all awakened and looking in surprise at Goku and his calmness.

Krillin spoke up first, "Wow, Goku, I sure am glad you showed up. We only fought the big one over there, but he was just too strong for us. Although, now that you're here, we should stand a chance."

Goku gave a shake of his head, "No, Krillin, you guys have done enough. This fight is going to be mine alone."

"But, Goku, these guys are incredibly strong. The big guy took us out and he seems to be afraid of the little guy. You need our help," shouted Ron looking at the saiyan like he was crazy.

"Trust me on this. Plus, right now, your friends at the Lookout need you more. They are worried sick. Go see them. I really doubt I will need your help."

The confidence radiated off of Goku. It shocked everyone there. Could he really be that powerful? Ron hoped so, for everyone's sakes.

After a slightly tearful goodbye from Gohan, the five set off towards the Lookout and were there in minuets. When they landed on the white tile of the Lookout, they could no longer feel Nappa's ki. That means Goku beat him to an inch of his life, or killed him. Ron gave a little smirk at the thought. The rotten saiyan deserved as much.

"Ron! Neville!"

Hermione shouted upon seeing them and ran as fast as she could to go meet them. She collided with Ron almost knocking him down. She was starting to openly sob. Ron awkwardly patted her back, trying to sooth her.

"It's okay, Hermione. We are all okay, for the most part."

Hermione struggled to speak through the tears, "I was so worried. I thought you would be killed. I am glad that Goku came through and we are still trying to bring Harry back."

"You don't need to try anymore."

The voice made Hermione's heart flutter and stop at the same time and her insides felt like they were melting. Harry's voice. She didn't dare turn around, thinking it was all just a dream. She opened her eyes and dared a look.

There he was, looking the same as usual. His messy, raven hair, sticking out at all ends. The only thing that was majorly different about him was his figure. Harry had really filled out during his training and it really showed. Quidditch had toned his body, but his training had added heavy muscle definition. Hermione had a hard time containing herself. She rushed towards Harry and crushed her lips to his. He returned the kiss with the same intense passion that she gave towards him. They pulled apart and touched foreheads.

"I missed you so much, Harry. I lov-"

A massive burst of light lit up the already bright sky. A single beam of ki was being shot into space. Everyone watched in wonder, while Harry could read what was happening. One of the remaining saiyans was on the loosing end of a ki blast. His energy levels were still off the charts however. He could feel Goku, but just barely. He must have burnt up all his energy with that blast. Harry knew it was his time to enter the fight.

"I have to go now," Harry started, "Goku is in trouble. I want you guys to stay here. I am going to send Goku back. I need you guys to do your best to heal him."

Harry looked to Ron, "Don't follow me. This isn't going to be easy and I don't want you guys to get in the way of a rouge attack," after seeing the look on Ron's face, Harry added, "it's the way it has to be Ron. This guy isn't something to take lightly. He is incredibly strong. I don't know if I will be able to beat him, but if I don't, I still need you guys to be alive to fight him. Do you understand?"

The five gave a nod. Ron, Hermione, Neville, and Luna surrounded Harry and gave him a fierce hug. They whispered they goodbyes and let go. Hermione grabbed him and held him close.

"Comeback to me. Promise me, that you will come back."

Harry looked Hermione in the eyes, "I promise Hermione. I will do my best," he flashed a bright smile, "don't worry too much. I have too much to live for now. This guy isn't going to keep me away from being with you."

Harry gave her a quick kiss and ran towards the edge and launched towards where Goku was, leaving a trail of light behind him.

OoOoOoOoO

Goku stood panting as he tried to gather his strength to move. His Kaioken technique had strained his body farther that he could have ever imagined. He looked towards the sky and closed his eyes. He could still sense Vegeta. He was out there and he was angrier than ever. The sound of someone walking near him made Goku pry his eyes open.

"Boy, am I glad to see you, Harry," said Goku, his voice was very weak.

Harry walked over and placed a hand on Goku's shoulder. This made the saiyan let out a mighty yelp. Harry's hand shot off and he looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, Goku."

"It's okay," he puffed.

"You really need to get out of here. Let Hermione and Luna heal you."

Goku seemed to think this over. He really didn't want to leave Harry, but he was in no condition to continue this fight. He gave a slight nod.

"Nimbus!" yelled Goku.

The yellow cloud shot down from the sky and floated in front of Goku.

"The Lookout, Nimbus," whispered Goku before he fell on the cloud and lost consciousness. Nimbus took off in a flash towards the Lookout, leaving Harry alone. He looked towards the sky and waited. He felt the energy draw closer and closer. A speck appeared and seemed to be getting bigger by the second. It slowly turned into a man that soon slammed down on the ground in front of Harry. He eyeballed him for a second before growling, "Where is Kakarot?"

"I'm sorry, but he isn't here right now. I can take a message if you like."

This made Vegeta give a feral growl. He looked towards where the golden cloud was heading off to and made to chase it. Harry flashed in front of Vegeta.

"I don't think so. Your fight is with me."

Vegeta made to punch Harry, but Harry side stepped and delivered a punch right into Vegeta's ribs, knocking the air out of the saiyan. Harry balled his hands together and slammed them into Vegeta's back, sending him back down to Earth. Harry landed a few feet away from him.

"You insolent, little, brat! I am the prince of all saiyans. Do you really think you can match me?"

Harry looked at Vegeta for a second before smirking.

"No," Harry said while tightening his fists, "I know I can beat you."

Vegeta's eyes widened at the remark before he regained his smirk, "You're all talk. Let's see you put your money where your mouth is."

He started to pour energy into his hand forming a ball of ki. He took aim and threw it right at Harry who batted it away casually with his left hand. Vegeta's eyes narrowed, he got into a fighting stance and charged at Harry. The two locked hands for a moment, trying to push the other into the ground. The Earth below them cratered in before they broke and took to the skies, trying to deal as much damage to the other as possible. This went on for several minutes.

"Give up! You will never get the upper hand. You are weak."

Vegeta had backed Harry up against a mountain and had started to pummel him into the rocks. Hit after hit, the wizard caved in deeper. Vegeta charged ki into his hand and delivered a punch into Harry's stomach, knocking him into the center of the mountain. Vegeta flew back and charged a ball of energy in between both of his hands.

"Ha!" Vegeta exclaimed as the ball shot out and traveled straight towards the mountain.

"Kaioken!"

Vegeta's smirk fell from his face as Harry, covered in a red aurora, shot out from the mountain. He batted away the red ball and headed right for Vegeta. He landed a punch on the saiyan's face that almost shook the Earth. Vegeta was sent flying through another mountain range and as he appeared on the other side, Harry was there waiting to send him straight into the ground.

Vegeta landed face first and laid motionless for a moment, "Damn this kid. I used too much energy fighting Kakarot. He is at the same strength, if not stronger. The only chance I have of beating him is to use the same trump as I did with Kakarot. I just have to hope I finish him off, I won't be strong enough to do much else."

"You know, I never understood while all of you villains always talked out loud, explaining your plan to the world. That is just a horrible idea, mate."

Vegeta growled before shooting from the ground into the sky.

"We will see about that," he shouted as he started gathering ki above him in a massive ball of energy, "This attack will destroy the entire planet if it connects. Good luck saving this pathetic planet!"

Vegeta launched his ball directly at Harry, hoping that the wizard would take the bait. He grinned as he saw the red aurora flash around Harry again. Vegeta slowly fell back down to Earth.

The massive ball was hurdling right towards Harry. He activated his Kaioken x3, hoping that it would be enough to stop the behemoth attack. Knowing that he didn't have time to launch a ki counter attack, he charged the ball with his bare hands, thus surprising Vegeta.

The ki licked at Harry, tearing up his skin from the intense energy. His muscles were straining as he tried to control the ball. Sweat and blood mixed on his brow, which was crinkled in concentration. He couldn't let this ball win, but he felt his strength fading fast. The ball was slowly gaining ground as Vegeta split into a grin.

Hermione.

Harry could only think of Hermione. If this blast got through, then she would be dead. She would be gone, as would Ron and the rest of the Weasleys. Neville and Luna, all of his Hogwarts friends and everyone who helped him in the war against Voldermort. All of that for nothing if he let this go right now.

Gathering all of his remaining strength, he focused on pushing the attack back. He gave a mighty shove and realized that he could only push it a little bit and not enough to get it out of the atmosphere. Then he saw Vegeta out of the corner of his eye, waiting. With a slight grin he shifted the attack over to where Vegeta was and pushed with all his might.

Vegeta's smirk dropped once again as in a flash, his massive attack backfired on him and was heading right back. Not being able to dodge, he raised his hands and tried to deflect the brunt of the blast. A blinding white light tore through the sky as the blast exploded. It could even be seen from the Lookout, where the rest of the Earth's surviving warriors sat in wonder as the blast light up the daytime sky.

The lights faded and the dust cleared, leaving a barely standing Harry and a heavily damaged Vegeta. The saiyan reached into his armor for a remote while he struggled for breath. He pulled it out and pressed the button frantically. About a hundred miles away, a space pod shot from the ground and headed straight for Vegeta.

In a matter of seconds, the pod landed behind Vegeta and the door opened. Harry saw this and tried to make chase, but his broken body would not let him do so. Vegeta gave a small laugh as he entered the space pod.

"You'll pay for this. No one embarrasses the prince of all saiyans and gets away with it. I will get stronger and I will be back to destroy this pitiful planet."

The door hissed shut and shot into the sky, leaving Harry alone. He looked at the retreating pod while he raised his hand and summoned his wand. It took a few seconds to reach him, but he eventually snatched it out of the sky, his eyes still trained on the pod. Vegeta's last words still played in his mind.

"And I will be waiting."

He looked at his wand before giving it a twist. His last thought was, "I hope I don't splinch myself."

The battlefield became empty as Harry Potter apparated away.
