Chapter 36

Gohan covered his eyes as he looked around. He, Harry, and Dumbledore were standing on a big rock. Around them, a violent sea was pounding big waves against the rock. The water went on to collide with a big rocky cliff. What caught Gohan's attention was the giant opening in the side.

"Is that the place?" Gohan asked. Dumbedore nodded.

Seeing as I cannot fly as you can, would one of you be so kind as to carry me to the cave?" Dumbedore asked.

"Of course, Professor." Harry nodded. Then, with Dumbledore securely attached to Harry, they took off from the rock and landed in front of the cave. When Dumbledore let go of Harry, they walked inside.

"Something feels… off about this place. I can feel it." Gohan muttered as he looked around.

"Your assumptions are correct, Gohan. This place has seen magic…" Dumbledore muttered as he felt the wall. Then, to Harry and Gohan's shock, he pulled out a knife and stabbed his hand!

"Sir!" Harry gasped, while Gohan immediately pulled a bag out of his pocket.

"In order to gain passage, a payment must be made. A payment in blood. Voldemort believed that physical pain would weaken a person. Tragically, he is still blinded by the fear that death is the most horrible fate of all. But, as you and I know, there are things far worse than death…" Dumbledore said as he swept his hand over the wall, causing the rock to rumble. Then, part of the wall collapsed, creating an opening.

"Professor, here!" Dumbledore turned to see Gohan pull a sensu bean out of a brown bag.

"I brought them along, just in case." Gohan said as he handed it to Dumbledore.

"Most wise of you, Gohan. Thank you." Dumbledore smiled as he ate the bean. Then, he walked through the opening. Then, Gohan and Harry followed him. Then, Dumbledore pulled out his wand.

"Lumos." Dumbledore said, causing the end of his wand to light up. Than, Harry pulled out his wand and did the same thing. Instead of pulling out his wand, Gohan created a ki ball with one of his hands.

"So, is this the cave that the lady from Voldemort's orphanage was talking about? The one where he traumatized those two kids?" Gohan asked as they walked through.

"Yes. This place holds special meaning to Voldemort because of that event. He would not have made it easy to acquire the horcrux. Then, a misty green light came into view.

"Whoa." Gohan breathed as a lake came into view. Gohan looked up, but even with his saiyan eyesight, he couldn't see the top.

"So, the horcrux is in that lake?" Harry asked.

"I believe so. The question is… how do we get to it?" Dumbledore asked.

"I could try parting the water with a kamehameha." Gohan suggested.

"No, you might accidently bring the whole place down, and then we'll never find it. I say we try a summoning charm." Harry suggested. Then, he pointed his wand at the lake.

"Accio horcrux!" Harry yelled. To Gohan's shock, something big flew out of the lake and crashed back into the water.

"What the bloody hell was that? I didn't sense anything!" Gohan yelled as he got into a fighting position. For a second, his hand went near the watch on his other hand.

"Obviously, Voldemort has prevented the use of the summoning charm, so the Horcux must be accessed through other means." Dumbledore muttered as he moved his hands through the air. Then, to Gohan and Harry's shock, a green chain flew out of the water into Dumbledore's hand. When Dumbledore tapped the chain, it began to slide through his hand like a snake and coiling on the ground. Then, a small boat that was glowing green burst through the surface of the lake, and slowly floated to where they were standing.

"Ah, yes… with some difficulty, we all should be able to fit." Dumbledore muttered.

"Professor, wouldn't it be easier for me and Harry to simply float next to the boat?" Gohan asked as Dumbledore climbed aboard the boat.

"No. Voldemort would have made it impossible to travel across the lake by any other means besides the boat, without suffering some kind of horrible fate." Dumbledore answered as Harry climbed in. With a sigh, Gohan followed Harry. Although it was slightly cramped, they managed to all fit on the boat. Then, they pushed off. Slowly, the green light grew larger and larger. Several minutes later, the boat came to a halt. When Gohan held his hand up, he saw an island in front him, illuminated by the ki ball. But what got his attention was the source of the green light, which was a stone basin, which was on top of a pedestal. Gohan was the last to get out and join Harry and Dumbledore at the basin. Gohan could now see that the basin was filled with an emerald green liquid.

"Is it in there? The Horcrux?" Gohan asked.

"Yes. But how to get it? This potion cannot be penetrated by hand, Vanished, parted, scooped up, or siphoned away, nor can it be Transfigured, Charmed, or otherwise made to change its nature. I can only conclude this potion is supposed to be drunk." Dumbledore sighed. Then, he looked at Gohan and Harry.

"You both remember the circumstances under which I brought you, yes?" Dumbledore asked. Both boys nodded.

"I must drink this potion, every bit of it. No matter what happens to me, you must force every drop down my throat, do you understand?" Dumbledore asked.

"No professor, let me drink it!" Gohan said as he looked at Dumbledore.

"No. You are the most powerful among us. Should circumstances shift out of our favor, we will need to rely on your power and strength. You are both young. To your health." Dumbledore said as he conjured a crystal goblet out of thin air. Then, to Gohan and Harry's horror, he dipped the goblet into the basin and drank from it!

"P-professor?" Harry asked nervously. Then, to their horror, Dumbledore collapsed, gasping. It took Gohan every bit of strength to force himself to fill the goblet with more of the potion and kneel before the old man.

"Professor, you need to keep drinking, remember?" Dumbledore looked straight into Gohan's eyes with despair.

"Please." Gohan pleaded. Then, slowly Dumbledore drank the flask. Gohan and Harry slowly took turns feeding Dumbledore the potion, while the old man continued to scream swear words and cry.

"No, kill me instead!" he cried as Gohan knelt before him with the final cup. It was as painful to watch as it had been to see his father cry when he told the story of Kiara.

"Please Professor, it's the last one. This is it." Gohan begged. Slowly, Dumbledore managed to drink the last of the potion.

"Yes! We got it!" Gohan turned to see Harry holding the locket.

"Did you hear that, Professor? The Horcrux is ours!" Gohan smiled with excitement.

"Gohan…water…" Dumbledore sighed.

"Right! Aguamentai!" Gohan pointed his wand at the flask, causing it to fill up with water. But when he went to give it to Dumbledore, the flask was empty!

"What the?" Gohan gaped. No matter how many times he filled the flask, the water kept vanishing! Gohan turned to look at Harry with a cold realization on his face. He could tell that Harry knew exactly the same thing.

"He intended it this way." Harry said, confirming Gohan's fears.

"Stay with Dumbledore. I'll go to the water." After Harry nodded, Gohan slowly walked to the edge of the island and knelt before the water. After he took a deep breath, he dipped the flask into the water. Then…

A pale hand shot out of the water and grabbed Gohan's wrist! With a startled yell, Gohan shot a ki blast out of his other hand at whatever had grabbed him. The hand let go, but to Gohan's horror, the ki blast lit up the water briefly, illuminating the swimming forms of dozens, perhaps hundreds of creatures! Quickly, Gohan formed a ki ball and threw it into the air, illuminating the cavern. Now Gohan could see the surface of the water breaking. Without waiting another second, he rushed back to where Harry and Dumbledore were.

"What the bloody hell happened?" Harry yelled.

"We're in for a fight." Gohan answered as his hands glowed. Then, he whirled to see dozens of creatures that looked like humans crawling towards them. Gohan recognized them immediately.

"They're Inferi!" Gohan yelled as he fired a blast at a pack of them, sending them tumbling into the water. He remembered Piccolo telling him a bit about them. Inferi were the animated corpses of people that were reanimated by a dark wizard. Similar to a zombie, to put it mildly. Harry yelled as he fired another blast, sending more of them tumbling into the water.

"Ice Beam!" Gohan yelled as he fired the attack, hitting another group of inferi, causing them to freeze solid. But, to Gohan's horror, more inferi simply crawled over the frozen inferi.

"Since you know what they are, is there a weakness?" Harry asked as he blasted another group. The inferi continued to grow closer and closer.

"Gohan… Harry…" Dumbledore sighed as he tired to reach for his wand. Then, to his horror, Harry was pulled into the water by the inferi!

"HARRY!" Gohan screamed. Without a second thought, he slammed his fist on the watch. (For this, think Iron Man) Then, his watch glowed. In an instant, metal crawled across his armor, and quickly overtook his entire body.

"Time to burn, bitches." Gohan said as the mask slid over his face. Then, two gigantic flames shot out of his hands, causing the Inferi to screech and fall back.

"I hope they made this waterproof." Gohan thought. Then, he leaped into the water. Then, he shot through the water until he saw Harry struggling with several inferi. He blasted the inferi away with several ki blasts, and then he grabbed Harry. As he shot back to the surface, he saw something orange and large light up the surface. Then, smoking remains of inferi shot past them. When Gohan and Harry finally surface, they gaped. Dumbledore was waving his wand in a circle, causing a ring of fire to spin around the island, driving off the inferi.

"His strength's fading, fast!" Gohan said as they climbed on the island. His voice was considerably deeper, thanks to the suit.

"Gohan, that suit's bloody amazing!" Harry gaped.

"Not the time! Hang on!" Gohan yelled as he felt himself go super saiyan.

"System at 100%." A mechanical version of Bulma's voice said inside his helmet. Ignoring it, he grabbed Harry with one hand and scooped Dumbledore up wit the other hand. They made it to the bank of the cave just as the fire began to die.

"Don't worry Professor, we'll get you out of here before those monsters catch us!" Gohan yelled as he and Harry helped Dumbledore through the cave.

"I'm not worried, Gohan. I'm with you." Dumbledore smiled weakly.

Hogwarts…

Draco Malfoy stood nervously in front of the vanishing cabinet, watching as the knobs slowly turned. Then, a cold chuckle echoed through the room as the door slowly opened. Then, a pale hand grabbed the side of the cabinet.

"Well done Malfoy, I'm impressed." Cell chuckled as he stepped out of the cabinet and looked around. For some reason, Cell was actually clothed this time. He was dressed in a black outfit that fit him nicely, as well as a black cape, similar to an elite Death Eater's.

"T-thank you." Malfoy stuttered as Frieza and the other V Fighters, as well as several of Frieza's henchmen and Death Eaters exited from the cabinet, as well as several Cell Juniors. Cell had given birth to new ones after Pan killed the others.

"Hmmmm… I can sense the monkey kisser and several of the boy's friends patrolling the hallway outside, as well as several others." Cell muttered as he closed his eyes. (for those of you who don't know, monkey kisser is Cell's nickname for Ginny.)

"Heh heh heh. I owe the male weasel and mudblood a rematch after our last skirmish." Frieza chuckled.

"Right… Frieza! Tell your men that they're coming with me and you! Broly, you stay with us in case Goku, Vegeta or anyone else shows up! I know you want revenge after what happened at the tournament. Broly, when I call you, appear. But stay hidden, we want you to be a surprise." Cell ordered with a smile.

"Gladly…" Broly chuckled as he smiled.

"And me? I have a debt to fulfill as well." A cloaked figure snarled.

"I know… but for now, go with Malfoy and the others. If he shows up, I'll let you know. When I give you the signal, leave the room immediately. We'll provide the distraction." Cell chuckled as his hand glowed.

"Sir yes sir!" the henchmen saluted.

"Bang." Cell smiled as a blast shot out of his hands, and collided with the wall, causing an explosion!

"YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO! GO!" Cell roared as the henchmen ran into the hole. Nodding, Malfoy and the others took off.

The hallway….

"Bloody hell!" Ron screamed as he and the others stared at the hole that had just appeared in the wall. Then, several aliens ran out of the hole and pointed their arm guns at them! Then…

"Hello children. Did you miss us?" Cell laughed as he and Frieza emerged from the smoke, smiling at the horrified looks on the kids faces.

Hogsmeade…

With a crack, Gohan, Harry, and Dumbledore reappeared in Hogsmeade.

"We made it, Professor! Here, let me give you a sensu bean!" Gohan said as he reached into his bag.

"No… this damage cannot be healed by a sensu bean…" Dumbledore gasped as he leaned on Harry.

"Then we'll get you to the hospital wing, to Madame Pompry!" Harry said desperately.

"No… Severus… Severus is the one I need." Dumbledore gasped.

"Snape?" Gohan wondered. But before he could ask, the sound of someone running interrupted his thoughts. He looked up to see Madame Rosemerta running towards them. (forgive me if I misspelled it.)

"Albus, what happened?" she asked as ran up. Then, she stared at Gohan.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"It's me! Gohan!" the mask retracted to reveal Gohan's face.

"Oh my! What are you wearing?" she gaped at him.

"THIS ISN'T THE TIME FOR THAT! WE NEED TO GET BACK TO HOGWARTS!" Gohan roared at the top of his lungs, clearly starteling the woman.

"Don't shout! And didn't you know, the Dark Mark's over Hogwarts!" she yelled.

"WHAT?" Gohan and Harry screamed in unison. Gohan immediately shot into the air until he was several dozen feet above Hogesmade. Then, he gasped in horror. Sure enough, the Dark Mark was over the Astronomy Tower!

"NO! GINNY!" was the first thing that entered his mind. He could sense Cell, Frieza Broly, several small signatures and… NO! Shock reflected across Gohan's face.

"He's dead! I saw him die! How can he be alive?" Gohan thought in a panic as he shot back towards the ground. The look on Gohan's face confirmed Harry's fears.

"We need to get to Hogwarts now! I can sense Cell and the others!" Gohan screamed.

"I'll go get my brooms!" Madame Roserta turned to go to the 3 Broomsticks.

"No time. Gohan and Harry can carry me far faster than an broom." Dumbledore smiled weakly.

"I'll do it this time." Gohan answered as he grabbed Dumbledore. Then, he shot towards Hogwarts, with Harry behind him.

"Dad, Vegeta, Bulma, everyone! WHERE ARE YOU?" Gohan screamed as Hogwarts came into view.

Things are bad! Will Bulma and the other Z Fighters arrive in time? Where are Goku and Vegeta? Can Cell be stopped this time? And who is this mystery person that Gohan is so terrified of? All of this, next chapter! Review!
