Hey, it's me! Here's the next chapter! Review!
Chapter 25
"RAAAHHH! Curse that disgusing " Morbius roared in pain as the medical robots and doctors around him tried to reattach his missing arm. His lower half was lying beneath his upper half, and would be attached later. After his defeat at Gohan's hands, Morbius had been transported to the Destroyer's medical bay to receive immediate treatment.
"General, the more you struggle, the more that this is going to hurt." A humanoid-lizard doctor said, causing Morbius to glare at him with blood-red eyes. Then, Morbius's good hand shot from where it was lying on the operating table and grabbed the doctor's throat, causing the doctor to gasp and struggle. The other doctors and droids looked away, until a loud snap echoed through the room, and the lizard doctor collapsed to the floor.
"Well, I must admit, he certainly has developed… differences from his original. I like it!" Cell smirked from the observatory above the medical bay, from his spot next to Tyranus. Then, both turned to see Dr. Gero walk in wearing a lab coat.
"So, how long till he recovers, Doctor?" Tyranus asked.
"It will take some time to fully repair the damage. But, he will be fully restored to his complete potential. Fortunately, none of his internal organs were injured." Dr. Gero said.
"Excellent." Tyranus said. Then, Teela entered the room.
"What now?" Tyranus snarled.
"The Arbiter has returned with his scouting team, as well as Tartarus with his own team from their missions. They're on the bridge to give you their reports." Teela said.(Yes, I'm including Halo aliens. I'm a big fan of Halo.)
"Gak! You left them together on the bridge?" If it hadn't been for the mask, you would see Tyranus gaping at Teela, who was hiding the faintest of smirks.
"And I have a message for you from Lady Morgana." Tyranus froze as Teela presented a disk out of her pocket, which flicked blue, and then turned on to show a cloaked figure.
"My lady." Tyranus immediately bowed.
"Hello Bardock." Morgana said, causing Tyranus to sputter while Teela smirked.
"My lady, someone left the Arbiter and Tartarus on the bridge together, and I must get their scouting reports." Tyranus said.
"They're returned? Excellent! Contact them and tell them to meet you at the hanger to await my transport!" Morgana smiled.
"My lady? You're coming now? But what about the fleet?" Tyranus said.
"I'm coming now to oversee the final preparations. The rest of the Dark Force is overseeing the last of the time machines that are now being installed onto the last of our ships, and then we'll move out the bulk of our forces out here to join us. The Wand of Immortality will be docking in the hanger in a few minutes." Morgana said. Then, the hologram turned off. Quickly, Tyranus shoved past Teela and pulled out his communicator.
"Lady Morgana's ship will be docking shortly! Prepare a squadron in the hanger, and instruct the Arbiter and Tartarus to meet me there immediately!" Tyranus ordered.
"At last, I meet Riddle's spawn." Cell smirked as he followed the cyborg saiyan out the door.
(For this scene's soundtrack, think of "The Emperor Arrives.", from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi)
A few minutes later, Tyranus approached the hanger bay doors to see the Arbiter standing on the left side, and the brute chieftan standing on the right. As usual, the brute was holding his large hammer.
"Welcome, Lord Tyranus." The Arbiter said as Tyranus walked up.
"Hmph. I answer only to Lady Morgana and others of her bloodline." The brute chieftan grunted. Silently, Tyranus swiftly passed them, and strode into the hanger, where there was already a squadron of Death eaters, robots, and Shanghelli standing at attention. Then, through the hanger's protective barrier, the outline of a ship similar to the ones that Frieza used to fly could be seen. Near Morgana's ship were dozens of other small ships. Some were pods, others looked like small triangles.
"Tell me, how exactly does this time machine teleportation system work?" Cell asked as Morgana's ship came into view.
"The concept is similar to the time machine used by the Trunks from the apocalyptic future destroyed by 17 and 18. It's just slightly difficult to put it on a larger scale, with a few differences in between." Tyranus explained.
"Impressive…" Cell muttered. Then, Morgana's ship passed through the shield and landed on the dock. For a moment, nothing could be heard but the sound of Tyranus's respirator as he bowed, as well as the Arbiter and Tartarus. Cell was the only one who remained standing as the ramp came down. First, came out six black robed figures, each armed with large spears. Then, Morgana appreared at the top, and slowly came down the ramp. She was clad in black robes, including a cape. Her brown was cascaded over her shoulders, and she was smiling. Next to her was a figure clad in a peculiar armor.
"Rise, my friends." She smiled at the Elite, Brute, and saiyan, who quickly stood. Then, she extended her hand towards Cell.
"At last, I meet the spawn of Riddle. I must admit… I can sense the evil emitting from you. Impressive." Cell smirked.
"Thank you. I learned everything I know from you, after all." She smiled. Then, she began walking down the row of soldiers with her mini party.
"Everything has been going as you planned, my lady. We have completed an analysis of all the wizarding nations of this world, just as you requested." Tyranus said.
"Well done, Lord Tyranus. And I commemorate you on the defeat of your father." Morgana smirked.
"Thank you, my lady." Tyranus said.
"But now, I see that you wish to resume your hunt for your twin sister and her companions." Morgana continued. For a moment, Tyranus was silent. Then…
"Yes, my lady." Tyranus sighed.
"Patience, my young friend. It is only a matter of time until she will seek you out. When the time comes, you will capture her and kill her allies. Then, come to me. Then, she will become one of us." Morgana said.
"How do you know?" Tyranus asked. Morgana giggled.
"Pan still believes that she can turn you into a rebel again. She will try to change you, and she will show you mercy if you two fight again. I have foreseen it." Morgana said.
"I see… like grandfather, like granddaughter. Goku's one flaw, passed on to his spawn." Cell smiled as they strode out of the hanger and entered a hallway.
"Exactly. Tartarus, I want you and your soldiers to personally escort Lord Tyranus and Pan to me, since the Arbiter and his soldiers completely failed to keep the girl imprisoned when we captured her the first time, as many of you remember." Morgana hissed.
"We were ambushed, and the girl transformed against us. We were outclassed." The Arbiter growled.
"Your kind has always failed. Why Lady Voldemort's father kept your filthy species around after your planet was conquered is beyond my judgement." Tartarus snarled.
"What I fail to understand is why filthy and mindless savages such as yourself were even added to this glorious empire!" The Arbiter snarled back.
"Why, you filthy!" The Brute chieftan roared with fury as he raised his hammer. At the same time, the Arbiter drew his energy sowrd.
"ENOUGH!" Morgana roared, causing the two aliens to look at her. The amored man raised two guns and pointed one at each alien.
"I'd do what the lady says." The figure chuckled.
"What's the issue with those guys?" Cell whispered to the young empreress.
"These two species have had nothing for each other but complete disrespect since their forefathers first met! Usually, they are on different ships, but I need their reports now." Morgana whispered as the Arbiter and Tartarus continued staring knifes at each other.
"Reminds me of the saiyans and icejins(Frieza and his family)." Cell muttered as they reached the bridge. The moment they entered, everyone stood at attention.
"Lady Morgana! Welcome!" Lieutenant Teela saluted from the front of the bridge.
"Teela, it's good to see you again." Then, Morgana looked at the Earth through the large window.
"Incredible. The Earth looks so different than my own… the resources are limitless." Morgana chuckled.
"Lady, we have concluded all scouting reports." Teela said. Then, she gave a hand signal to a pair of officers, who nodded and clicked a series of buttons. Then, the screen displaying the Earth was replace by a giant map of the world, with each country highlighted and stats. It even had two separate categories for each country's population: Muggle and Wizard.
"Alright. Report." Morgana sighed. Then, the Arbiter stepped forward.
"We examined the Eastern part of Europe and Russia. Based on what the reports have said, Russia is currently undergoing a recovery from an event called "The Cold War." Many of the previous magical defenses are now disabled, so this sets up a prime key for a critical strike." The Arbiter said.
"Well done. Tartarus?" Morgana said. Then, the brute chieftain stepped forward.
"Many of the countries that we observed are weak, and will fall quickly. But, there is one country that poses a threat." Tartarus said.
"The United States." Morgana finished. Silence echoed through the bridge. Then, the world map zoomed in to focus on the image of the United States.
"Ahh, yes. The Land of the free. Home to some of the most talented and skilled wizards known to wizardkind, run by a muggle and a wizarding president, similar to Minister of Magic. Yes, I read that in my father's journals, America was one of the hardest challenges he ever faced. Tragically, his secret to victory was not described, and that was one secret, that not even he told me." Morgana sighed.
"Enough of all this? Why do we not simply bombard the worthless land until it is but ash?" Tartarus snarled
"The nation is protected by the greatest magical shield ever known. Bombardment is impossible. Also, there are so many magical artifacts there. And there is one thing I want more than anything… and it lies here." Morgana said. Then, the screen changed to reveal a large stone building.
"Behold, Alma Aleron! This is the American version of Hogwarts, and home to some of the most powerful magical artifacts in history!" Morgana chuckled.
"Interesting…" Cell observed.
"Taking America will not be easy. It will require massive amounts of troops, machines, ships, and no interference from any insects." Cell said softly as he observed the map.
"Yes… that is why we await the fleet. And when they come at last… not even Goku Son himself will stop me! But first, I have a mission for you, Kario." Morgana said as she turned to look at the bounty hunter.
"What do you have in mind?" the bounty hunter asked.
"You, my friend, are going to kidnap the American wizarding president." Morgana smiled.
Will Morgana's dark plan succeed? Will America become the first victim of the Dark Empire's power? Review!
