Chapter 37

"This isn't happening."

That was the only thought that kept rolling through Gohan's mind. It couldn't. He had been drugged, kidnapped and dragged to a secret facility, tortured, dragged out to a graveyard filled with Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters, had to run for his life into an underground laboratory, discovered thousands of clones, got his butt kicked by a psychotic clone, narrowly avoided getting splashed by acid, ran through the self-destructing laboratory to avoid getting atomized, nailed in the heart by Voldemort, watched the dead come back to life in a duel. Not even coming back to Hogwarts stopped his awful night. Amos Diggory tried to kill him, and he was saved by Snape, of all people. But, it seemed that his luck wasn't getting any better. April Thompson, a sweet, innocent , first year Ravenclaw girl who admired him, who had simply come by to wish him well, was lying dead on the floor, along with Madame Pompry's assistant. Just like Cedric, two people at the wrong place at the wrong time. And, the worse thing of all, was that Rosaline was really Cell, in disguise, and he couldn't move an inch.

"You seem… a tad bit mad, boy." Cell smirked as he leaned on the edge of the bed. Gohan gritted his teeth.

"You think? I've had one hell of a night. If I survive this, I'm having a firewhiskey." Gohan snarled. Cell laughed, which was very creepy, given that it was his voice coming out of a young woman's body.

"I would think that you'd drop the firewhiskey, after what happened with the last one." Cell chuckled.

"I'd make sure that this one wasn't drugged." Gohan snarled.

"So, how would you like to die? Quick and fast with the killing curse? Or, deprived of all air?" Cell smiled as he flicked his wand, causing Gohan's sheet to float into the air and slowly wrap around his neck. Gohan gulped nervously. Cell had him, and he knew it.

"If you're going to kill me, I don't suppose you could answer a few questions." Cell chuckled.

"I'll humor you." Cell smiled as he lowered his wand, lowering the sheet from Gohan's neck.

"Where's the real Rosaline?" Gohan asked. Cell smirked.

"That's an interesting question. To be blunt, Rosaline is just one of my many identities. She doesn't… exist, as you define it. A disguise, if you will. Characteristics from many different people." Cell answered as he twirled April's wand in his fingers.

"How can you… do this? Change your form?" Gohan asked.

"Evolution, my dear boy. Those samples that I had Morbius steal from all your classmates for the clones, I also had one more thing done. I had those cells… transferred into me." Gohan stared at Cell in disbelief.

"Yes, Gohan, the cells of all your classmates runs through me. Their memories… their talents… abilities…" Cell chuckled.

"I have all the experience of your classmates and your professors, even Dumbledore. I added a few fellas from the Ministry of magic as well, such as Fudge himself. So much magic at my fingertips. I am the entire Wizarding world combined! All their experience, all their skills, are part of me. And I will use it against them." Cell smiled as fire shot out of his hand and glowed. Gohan felt complete fear. If Cell's statement was even partly true, then he was far more dangerous than he had ever been before.

"How can you possibly possess thousands of memories and emotions without overloading yourself?" Gohan asked. Cell chuckled.

"Very cute." Cell said with Rosaline's voice as he ruffled the saiyan's hair.

"What's cute?" Gohan smiled nervously.

"You're stalling. You're waiting for Dumbledore to realize what's going on, and charge the hospital in an attempt to save you. I hate to tell you that that won't be the case." Cell smiled. Gohan snarled.

"Do you know what they'll do to you for Diggory? For her?" Cell frowned as he looked at April's limp body.

"Tsk tsk, such a small and fragile thing." He chuckled as he turned her face.

"Don't you dare touch her!" Gohan spat.. Then, he winched as the sheets tightened.

"Don't tell me what I can and can't do." Cell said calmly.

"If you're so powerful, why don't you turn into your old self?" Gohan gasped with a smile. Cell smirked

"I could easily, if I want too. But… I like this form. Small, slim, flexible, quick with a wand." Gohan snarled.

"You're in a girl's body, talking with a man's voice. You don't find that disturbing?" Gohan smirked. Cell laughed.

"Tell me, did you enjoy my book? I found it quite intriguing." Cell smiled as he held up a familiar book.

"Your book…." Gohan frowned. Then, his eyes widened.

"No… that man at the World Cup, that was you!" Gohan said in disbelief. Cell chuckled.

"Yes, it was. Quite an intense match, don't you think? The book was quite… interesting. I added a little something to it." Gohan narrowed his eyes.

"Oh, it wasn't poison. It was ancient magic I picked up. I infused a bit of a corruption spell." Gohan frowned in confusion.

"Every time you touched it, a bit more of it seeped into you. It warped you. Changed you. Brainwashing, if you will. Made you cocky, arrogant, rude, a jerk, really. Even I couldn't believe what the hell you were turning into." Gohan started at Cell in disbelief.

"You're the one who alienated me from my friends?" he sputtered.

"Oh, I just planted the emotions in you. You did all the rest. Although, your strange pervertedness with women… that was all you. But shattering Weasley's nose… that was hilarious!" Cell chuckled, before roaring with laughter. Gohan hissed as all rational thoughts drained from his head. Cell messed with his head. Alienated him from his friends, rigged the tournament. April and Cedric were dead because of him! Gohan snapped. He screamed with rage as the bed exploded around him. Cell watched with a smile as Gohan smashed the bed apart and stood in front of him, still in Rosaline's form.

"So it begins…" he said softly as he looked at a watch on his left wrist.

"I. Will. Kill. You." Gohan snarled. Cell looked amused as he looked up from his wrist.

"So, what strategy will you use, Gohan? Hopefully, you'll put up a bit of a fight before ending up like little Thompson." Gohan ignored Cell's words as he saw red. He didn't care about strategy, about skill, anything. He was sick of this prick, and he wanted him dead. Gohan roared as he leaped at Cell. Cell simply chuckled as he stepped aside, letting Gohan crash into the opposite bed. He hissed as he stood up and whirled towards Cell with his glowing hands.

"Excellent strategy! Brash!" Cell roared with laughed as he flipped back in the air and flicked his hands, causing the door to swing open.

"What's next?" Gohan roared as he fired a large ki blast at Cell. He smiled as he flicked his hand, sending Gohan's ki blast out the window. Gohan panted as sweat ran down his brow.

"So sloppy, so sloppy. What the heck did April admire about you?" Gohan screamed in anger as he leaped at Cell. He chuckled as he playfully parried Gohan's blows, blocking them with ease. Then, he flipped Gohan over him, sending him through the doorway and into a statue of a knight. He looked up with rage as Cell strode forward.

"Piertotum Locomotor!" Cell grinned, causing the statue to snap its arm's into an X formations, trapping Gohan. He screamed with rage as he shot his arms to the side, smashing the statue into rubble.

"Very impressive." Cell smirked with an amused look on his face. Then, he grinned as he raised his wand and repeated the spell. Suddenly, statues were leaping off the walls charging towards Gohan. He roared.

"Come on!" he screamed as he smashed the first one in pieces. Cell watched Gohan fight off the statues with amusment. He narrowed his eyes as he looked toward the stairs.

"Don't think I've forgotten about you, old man." Cell smirked as he raised April's wand.

Meanwhile…

"When we find Cell, he's mine!" Vegeta smirked as they raced through the hallway

"Yeah right. You had your shot." Harry smirked. Dumbledore ignored them as he continued forward. Harry gulped. He was just trying to ease the tension. It was understandable. Cell was loose somewhere in the castle, doing god knows what. Cedric's death was a nasty blow already. Anymore would be catastrophic. Then, Harry gasped as he felt like someone was trying to get into his head.

"I know you're coming, old man." Cell's voice echoed, causing them to stop cold. Harry frowned. They had all heard it. And, as they would later learn, they weren't the only ones who heard that.

"You guys heard that too, right?" Ron frowned as he stood in the crowded Gryffindor room and looked around. Hermione nodded.

"Cell." She said coldly

"Don't be a fool, Dumbledore. You've already lost two students tonight. I'd hate to put more of your students into the ground, old man." Cell's voice laughed.

"Two?" Harry said in disbelief. McGonagall and Snape also had angry looks on their faces.

"He did not just say what I though he said." Ginny frowned. Meanwhile, Pansy snarled as she paced in the Slytherin Common Room.

"It's gone too far, Draco!" she screeched at Malfoy, who was sitting on the couch with Crabbe and Goyle. The Slytherins were just sitting by idly throughout the whole common room, brooding over Potter's win. Malfoy looked up from the couch, where Crabbe and Goyle were sitting next to him.

"Just calm down, Pansy." He frowned.

"No, she's right! Cell's fucking insane!" Daphne Greengrass added. The Common Room erupted into yells of agreement. Malfoy waited until the air was quiet before continuing.

"I know that his methods are a little… extreme." Draco laughed nervously. Jake Richardson, a 6th year, frowned as he stood up from the fire.

"It's one thing for Cell to be killing mudbloods like Son and Granger. But Diggory was a pureblood, for Christ's sake!" he frowned. Yells of agreement accompanied him.

"That could have been me lying dead on that pitch! I freaking put my name in the goblet!" Warrington added with a bit of a scared look on his face. Several people laughed.

"You looked like you were going to piss yourself when you saw that Diggory was dead." Emily Richardson, a 5th year, smirked.

"Be grateful you weren't." Ricarda Johnson, a 7th year, added.

"For all we know, Son could have killed Diggory! He's been threatening him all year." Draco added. Pansy frowned.

"You seriously think he'd go that far to win?" she asked. Malfoy shrugged.

"Ten galleons that whoever else Cell killed wasn't a mudblood." Daphne added. She frowned.

"We did a head count, right? No one's missing?" she asked quickly.

"Yes, we did. Everyone's here." Rick Pritchard, the Slytherin prefect answered, getting sighs of relief.

"Relax, Pansy, he's not that stupid. Our parents are the one funding his work, after all." Draco pointed out.

"That bites both ways." Daphne's sister, Astoria, pointed out. She was a 1st year. (In case no one knew.)

"Yeah! How long before he turns on us, Malfoy?!" another 1st year added. Malfoy looked up.

"I say that I think the next few years are going to be interesting. And, I really don't care who he kills! As long as it's not a Slytherin, I don't give a crap!" he smiled.

"Some of us actually have friends in other houses…" Daphne muttered.

"I'd stay hidden in your dormitories if I were you, children." Cell's voice chuckled. To say people were angry was an understatement.

"We're just gonna sit here and let him talk to us like this?" Susan shrieked as she stormed around the Hufflepuff Common Room. It was very quiet, for good reason.

"You wanna end up like Diggory?" Hannah snapped.

"Quiet! We're making sure no one's missing!" Rick Walker, one of the Hufflepuff prefects, frowned as he wrote down in a pad.

"We are missing someone! Son killed him!" a third year snapped.

"We don't know that…" Susan frowned.

"The hell we don't! Get your head away from his abs for a second!" Derick Simon, one of Cedric's dorm mates, snapped. Susan frowned as she looked at the fire

"It just doesn't feel right to me…" she frowned.

"You and me both. Gohan doesn't seem like the killing kind." Hannah commented as she sat next to Susan.

Back to our heroes…

"Do not listen to him, any of you. He is trying to infuriate us." Dumbledore said calmly.

"Enjoy the fire, Harry." Cell's voice echoed, before cutting off. Harry frowned.

"What did he mean by that?" Harry asked in curiosity as he wiped his forehead. It had gotten hot all of a sudden. Dumbledore's eyes widened as he whirled to see an dim orange light appear at the end of the hallway.

"BEHIND ME!" he roared as he shoved Harry behind him and raised his wand. At that second, a wall of fire erupted from the next corridor, which seemed to be in the shape of multiple animals. A huge snake lashed out as Dumbledore raised his wand. A blue light erupted from Dumbledore's wand, covering them as the fire enveloped them. Thankfully, Dumbledore's shield held, and the fire went around them. Dumbledore whirled with his wand held high and whipped it, causing the fire to shoot out an adjacent window and disappear harmlessly.

"Fiendfyre. Very advanced dark magic." Snape said.

"Yes, Severus. He is more dangerous than I thought, to have come that for in such a short time." Dumbledore observed as they climbed up the stairs. Cell frowned curiously as he lowered his wand.

"Not bad, old man, not bad." He smirked as he turned to see Gohan smash the last statue to bits.

"And that's my cue to leave." Cell smirked as he turned and walked down the adjorning stairs. Gohan roared with rage as he turned to see Cell walk down the stairs.

"Get back here and fight!" Gohan roared. Cell simply smiled.

"You're pathetic. Another day, Gohan." Cell laughed. Gohan roared as he raced after Cell. When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he found that Cell had vanished.

"Quit while you're ahead, boy. This is boring." Cell's voice chuckled. Gohan hissed as he stepped forward and looked around with his fists clenched.

"Where are you?" Gohan roared.

"Right behind you!" Gohan heard a whisper in his ear. He whirled out with his fist, and smashed a hole in the wall. Cell had vanished again. Gohan hissed as he narrowed his eyes, and looked around.

"Right here!" He whirled to see Cell kick him in the chest, sending him tumbling down the stairs. He landed at the bottom with a hard thud. He winched and groaned in pain as he staggered to his feet, finding himself at the entrance to the Great Hall. He looked up to see Cell leap at him. Gohan flipped him over him, sending the android tumbling into the Great Hall. Cell rolled to a stop at the center of the room.

"So, you do have a little fight left! Let's do this." Cell smiled. Then, the two shot towards each other.

Meanwhile…

"Good lord!" McGonagall gasped as they reached the hospital, where the signs of battle at the entrance were evident.

"The boy was here. Put up a fight against these rocks." Vegeta pointed at the piles of rubble.

"Piertotum Locomotor." Dumbledore said softly,

"Professor!" Snape yelled from inside the wing. They frowned as they walked inside. Immediately, Harry gaped while McGonagall looked horrified. Lying at the foot of one of the beds was a little girl, as well as Madame Pompry's assistant, lying at the entrance to the office. The wing looked incredible smashed up.

"Dead, both of them." Snape frowned curiously as he felt the girl's neck for a pulse.

"It seems that Cell was here, and gone. Brat must have gone after him. Seems we found the second brat he was talking about." Vegeta frowned curiously as he dragged the girl's body away from the bed by her foot.

"Good lord! Do you have no respect for the dead?" McGonagall screeched. Vegeta shrugged as he dropped the girl's foot. McGonagall frowned as she looked upon the body. The girl's mouth was slightly open, with a look of surprise on her face.

"She's a Ravenclaw, according to her robes." Snape frowned as he pointed at the insignia on her robes.

"I know her." McGonagall frowned.

"Who is she, Minerva?" Dumbledore asked. Harry frowned. Dumbledore didn't know. He shrugged. There were over a thousand students at Hogwarts. Dumbledore couldn't know every single name.

"A first year. April Thompson…. Elyse Thompson's younger sister. She was… quite skilled at Transfiguration. So young…" McGonagall sighed sadly. Vegeta frowned while Harry pulled out one of the sheets and draped it over April.

"We should at least be respectful." He pointed out.

"Ambushed. Both of them. Cell dropped this one fast, never got a chance to use her stick." Harry gaped.

"How can you…" Harry asked. Vegeta frowned.

"Her hands are relaxed. If she had been holding her stick, would be clenched. And this one got nailed as she started pulling it out. It's still in her fist." Vegeta pointed out.

"When it comes to battles, no one beats me. That's why I got the job." Vegeta smirked.

"Inform Professor Flitwick. We must find Mr. Son immediately, before anyone else dies." Dumbledore frowned. Gohan roared as he smashed Cell in the nose, causing the android to stagger back as purple blood dripped out of his nose.

"Not bad, Gohan." Cell smirked as he flipped through the air and landed on the Slytherin table.

"Still have a lot of fight left!" Gohan smirked as he fired a large ki blast. Cell smiled as he held his hand out, which the ki blast flew into. Cell smirked as he was pushed back several feet. The blast dissolved, leaving a thin plume of smoke rising from Cell's hand.

"Not enough, I see." Cell smirked as he leaped forward and slammed Gohan in the stomach, causing him to gasp and couch blood. Cell had nailed him right on his earlier injury, reopening the wound. Gohan winched as he smashed into the Ravenclaw table. He looked up to see Cell raise his fist and raced toward him. Gohan leaped out of the way just in time to avoid his strike, which shattered the Ravenclaw table in half. Gohan winched as he covered his face to avoid the wood splinters. Gohan leaped several times, landing at the front of the Great Hall in front of Dumbedore's pedastool. Gohan looked up to see Cell smash him into the pedastool. Gohan winched as Cell stood over his head.

"Any last words, Gohan?" Cell smirked as he grabbed Gohan's shirt and held him up. Gohan gasped as his hand glowed. Then, he thrust his hand forward, blowing a huge hole in Cell's chest. Cell roared in rage as smoke rose off him. He hurled him over his head into the Gryffindor table, causing it to collapse. Gohan winched as he coughed blood and moaned as his body ached.

"Very impressive, boy." Cell smiled as he turned to look at Gohan, the hole still in his chest. Gohan gulped. Cell was still in Rosaline's body, so it looked… extremely disturbing. The blast had taken out his chest and upper stomach. Gohan watched in disbelief as Cell lowered his hand to the wound and looked up with a smile, his hands glittering with purple blood.

"Now do you understand, boy? I cannot die. I cannot be killed. Anything you do to me… will heal." Cell smiled. Then, almost immediately, Cell regenerated, leaving no evidence of the earlier wound. It had taken it's toll, though. Cell looked tired. His blonde hair was frizzled and wild, purple blood dripped from his mouth, and his fists were white and clenched. He certainly didn't look beautiful anymore.

"Ouch…" Gohan winched. Cell laughed.

"You were sloppy, Gohan. You let anger get to your head, took away your strategy. You were already tired and wounded, but you took on a full power opponent who was fresh and ready, not to mention easily your equal at full power. This was the best you had to offer? If I was Goku, I'd be ashamed." Gohan winched. That had been a nasty blow. Because Cell was right. Goku would have never leapt into battle like that, thick and hotheaded. Not even Vegeta would have done that. Completely amateur. He groaned as he slumped.

"Oh, and one more thing. You think you won? You think you were in control? Voldemort, Morbius, the Tournament…, those were just warm ups. And tonight was the perfect time to explore the castle, since everyone was at the Quidditch Pitch. I must admit, you hid it in a bad place, Gohan." Cell smirked as he pulled a familiar orange orb from his pocket, causing Gohan to stare in disbelief. Six black stars glistened.

"Did you seriously think you could hide it in Hogwarts? I'm afraid no one's getting revived anytime soon. A who year of planning, a success!" He smirked. Gohan moaned in disbelief. Cell had completely won.

"Any last words?" Cell smiled. Gohan laughed.

"What's the point? Get it over with." Gohan sighed. Cell looked surprised as he lowered his hands

"I never thought I'd see it. You've given up, I can hear it in your voice. You have no fight left. You're an embarrassment to your race." Cell smirked. Gohan sighed.

"You done?" he asked. Cell chuckled as he raised his hand.

"Say hello to Diggory and Thompson for me!" he screamed with maniacal laughter as his hands sparked. Then, out of nowhere, a large yellow ki blast smashed into Cell's back, causing him to roar in agony as he stumbled toward Dumbledore's podium.

"WHO DID THAT?" Cell roared as he whirled, but stared in confusion. The Great Hall was still empty, except him and Gohan. Gohan groaned as he blinked in confusion. Then, Cell completely flipped and was levitated into the air by his ankle. Gohan frowned in confusion. What was going on? Cell flew into Dumbledore's podium, causing it to shatter. He screamed with rage as he stood up.

"Come out from under your cloak, Potter!" Cell spat. Gohan frowned as he felt a pair of arms grab him and drag him off the shattered table, and drag him against a wall He blinked as his vision went in and out. Cell roared as a yellow spell hit him in the back, causing his hand to burst into a burning sensation. Cell hissed as he fired a ki blast. Gohan winched as someone pushed him against the wall.

"Don't let that bastard break you down, Gohan. You can win." Someone whispered into his ear. Gohan frowned as blinked to see a young girl in a cloak. His vision was a little fuzzy, but she looked like she had brown hair, fair skin, and blue eyes, and looked the same age as him. She was wearing a cloak.

"Who… are you?" Gohan frowned. The girl frowned as she pondered the question.

"I'm a friend, repaying an old debt. You'll understand one day." The girl smiled. Gohan blinked in confusion. When he blinked again, the girl had completely vanished. Cell hissed as he turned with eyes of fire. Gohan gulped.

"Now… you… die!" he hissed.

"ENOUGH!" the doors exploded open to reveal Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall, Vegeta and Harry. Harry gaped as Cell whirled to face them.

"Rosaline?" he asked as he stared at the young girl, surrounded by destruction. Cell spoke quickly.

"Harry! Thank god! Cell was here, you just missed him! He almost killed me!" Cell cried in Rosaline's voice

"Very clever, Cell. Your disguise does not fool us." Dumbledore frowned. Cell laughed nervously.

"Come on, Professor, you know me! I tried to help! Ask Madame Maxine!" Cell laughed.

"But… she's a Beaubaxtons student!" Harry frowned in confusion.

"No, Mr. Potter. That is no woman. That is a monster." Dumbledore narrowed his eyes.

"The blood's a dead giveaway, android. Last I checked, human blood is red, not purple." Vegeta commented. Cell smirked nervously as he wiped his face. He looked at his hand to see purple blood on it.

"Still thickheaded as ever, Vegeta." Cell chuckled in his normal voice.

"That is so disturbing!" Harry gaped.

"You are under arrest for murder!" McGonagall snarled. Cell laughed.

"I guess it doesn't help that I'm holding Thompson's wand, is it?" Cell smirked. Dumbledore and the professors raised their wands.

"I guess that's my cue to leave." Cell smirked.

"You're not going anywhere." Snape snarled.

"Oh, I disagree, Severus. I'll see you all again soon. To your health, Potter!" Cell smirked. Then…. he vanished with a crack, echoing through the chamber

"COWARD!" McGonagall roared.

"He disapperated, but I thought you couldn't apparate in Hogwarts." Harry gaped.

"But, Cell is not human, Potter. The charms don't apply to him, it seems, like the house elves." Snape observed. Then, they turned towards Gohan.

"Mr. Son!" McGonagall gasped as she ran over.

"I got my ass kicked." Gohan laughed as he spat off blood.

"Not the first time, mate." Harry smiled.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't save April, Professor. Cell killed her right in front of me." Gohan smirked as he coughed. Dumbledore sighed.

"Aw great, I'm about to go unconscious again." Gohan grinned as he felt himself slump under a black fog.

Meanwhile…

Bardock whistled as he walked up carrying two goblets of butterbeer while wearing shades with a grin.

"Stacy is one hell of a woman! I had no idea married women were so fun in bed!" Bardock grinned as he propped the back of the hospital wing open and stepped in with a smile.

"Hey pal, I brought you a Butterbeer from Hogsmeade…" Bardock trailed off when he saw the smashed up Hospital Wing and dead bodies lying on the floor.

"Whoa. Looks like Vegas." Bardock frowned.

Next chap, this all wraps up. I bet you're wondering who that girl was, the one who saved Gohan. That will make sense in the far future. Read and Review!
