It was like someone had punched them in the guts as they looked at George standing there blocking their path. He had also changed the wards of the manor so now no one could leave.
James was quivering with anger as his eyes never left Ava who was continuously under Delphi's torture. He didn't know how long she could handle it as it looked like she was close to losing her consciousness.
"Isn't this a surprise?" Tenille said as she smiled at them. "Betrayal hurts the most. Am I right boys?"
They didn't speak. Pan looked at her mom longingly wondering what they would do. She had definitely killed everyone who had come here as Pan could sense no one. The stench of death was filling the air. Then she saw her father take a few steps forward towards Tenille.
"Do you know the trait of a saiyan warrior?" Gohan asked, his eyes fixed at Ava. "A saiyan is a warrior race with a build like no other. Every time a saiyan fights he becomes stronger. The same goes for whenever he recovers from an injury."
Delphi's eyes widened in shock and astonishment as she only saw Gohan flicker for a moment and the next thing she knew George's head was in her hand. She yelped, letting the head of the traitor fall on the floor. Tenille frowned. Judging by where Gohan was looking, she had thought he would go for Ava's rescue but it looked like she'd been deceived.
James and Pan couldn't believe what they'd just witnessed. Such speed and power was unlike anything they'd ever seen. Gohan was faster than Son Potter from what James and Pan could tell.
"And you should always remember to keep your head in the game," Harry's voice rang next as Ava disappeared from Delphi's side and appeared by James', her binds removed. She fell on the ground. She was unconscious. James caught her, trying to wake her up. "Let the kids leave," said Harry. "Why drag them into this boring fight of us adults?"
"You know I cannot do that," Tenille said. "You just stole her toy," she said pointing at Delphi who was shaking in anger. She stomped on George's head and crushed it, splattering his brain and eyes everywhere.
"You killed countless," Harry said as like a lightning strike something hit Tenille out of nowhere but it seemed like she was expecting it. Although she was thrown off of her footing she gracefully landed back on the ground. James and Pan saw their parents were standing in the front, blocking them from any of Tenille or Delphi's attacks.
"No!" Pan said out loud. James turned to look at her in surprise and confusion.
"What?" he asked.
"Dad said that you and I should go," she said slowly so only he could hear.
"Try not to take offence but we would rather stay and help you," James said looking at his mom and dad.
"Yeah, he's your son," Hermione told Daphne who looked at him.
"Are you sure?" she asked. James felt a little bit confused thinking why his mother didn't tell him to go but then nodded his head. "Okay," she said. "The kids are staying."
"What about Ava, though?" asked James.
Gohan disappeared the next moment along with Ava. James only realized after he felt his arms had gone a lot lighter and he looked down to find her gone. "She's safe now," said Gohan. "Do you two mind taking care of her while we focus on Tenille?"
"We believe she has made horcruxes for herself," Pan said.
"That wouldn't stop you from capturing her, would it?" Gohan asked looking at his daughter.
"No," she replied standing up. James did, too as they looked at Delphi.
"I guess the game is decided then," Tenille said. "Adults versus adult and kids versus kid."
James and Pan saw as Harry and Gohan literally disappeared from in front of their eyes while Daphne and Hermione formed a shield covering them. Daphne looked at Pan and James. "You two got her, right?"
"We do," James said. "Go help dad."
Daphne smiled at him proudly before they both joined their husbands to fight Tenille. James and Pan stood side-by-side looking at Delphi. She smiled. "It will be really sad if I killed the two of you by myself. Imagine the shame. I guess that's what your parents will feel once this fight is over."
The next moment Pan was right in front of her as she landed a solid punch on Delphi's face, throwing her to the far end of the living area of the manor. She hit the wall, creating a crater before falling on the ground. She disappeared the next moment and came behind James. Fortunately unlike Tenille Delphi's ki could be sensed and he was already waiting. The moment she appeared behind him he crouched, avoiding a fatal spell from her while firing an energy blast at her from beneath. It connected with her point blank followed by a powerful explosion.
Pan didn't waste another second as she blasted off into the cloud of smoke, pushing Delphi out of it and throwing her on the ground followed by firing a barrage of energy blasts at her. Once the dust had settled she came down, a little out of breath. Delphi lay motionless on the ground, her eyes closed.
James pointed his wand at her, a non-fatal yet powerful spell ready as she jumped at them.

Tenille had not anticipated this. Gohan's jump in power after his recovery was dramatically high. He was a lot faster and normally she was having a bit of trouble dodging his attacks. Add to that Harry and the rest's attacks made things a little bit difficult for her. So she approached with a more offensive move and targeted the ladies.
Daphne and Hermione raised their shields but it didn't do anything as Tenille's attack broke it like glass and the resulting shockwave threw the two of them off of their feet. Gohan and Harry grabbed this opportunity to merge together and before Tenille could do anything a solid punch from Son Potter had her flying through the wall of the manor to right outside.
Gohan's increase in power had ultimately increased Son Potter's power. This was bad. She cursed, feeling stupid that she didn't take this into account. She sensed his approach followed by Hermione and Daphne's as well as she stood up and raised both her hands in the air. It crackled with black electricity and from everywhere dark vines, trolls, werewolves, giants, skrulls and all sorts of dark creatures came in running.
Son Potter stopped mid-flight and looked at the incoming horde. He knew there was no stopping to her almost infinite army as long as she was standing and controlling them. Stopping her was the only way to stop them. Looking at their numbers he wondered how long she'd been recruiting since her escape from the void chamber.
He fired off a small energy ball at the horde which exploded taking out hundreds of them in an instant. The entire ground along with the manor shook under its power as Son Potter fired off a few more blasts at them. This should give the ladies enough time to prepare, he thought before focusing on Tenille.
She looked at him and frowned when she saw the Gryffindor sword appear in his hand. It crackled with yellow and blue lightning as Son Potter pointed it at her before disappearing. Tenille took in a sharp gasp of air as the sword pierced her body from behind her. Son Potter pulled the sword out, leaving behind its residual energy which crackled within the hole it had made in her abdomen area.
She spit out blood as she made some distance between herself and him. This was enough time she needed to heal herself as she charged at him. A powerful hit sent Son Potter tumbling towards the ground. The impact formed a huge crater as Son Potter groaned in pain and looked at the gash Tenille's attack had made. Of course it was poisoned as he felt it rush into his bloodstream. It seemed to react in the presence of air so a senzu bean and the cut was healed but some of the poison had entered his blood.
He flew up, his sword gleaming a yellowish blue shine as the same colored aura surrounded his body. One of his pupils turned green indicating that the Gohan's side of him had transformed into the super saiyan. That had not happened the last time she had fought him. Letting Gohan slip out of her hand was a mistake.

Daphne and Hermione were busy taking down Tenille's remaining army. They wished they were this skilled and powerful the last time she had attacked them at Hogwarts when they were still kids but even now their number was making it a bit difficult for the girls to take full control of the situation.
The skies above them echoed with the battle of Son Potter and Tenille's. Behind them inside the manor their kids were fighting Voldemort's daughter. It was still rattling how things had changed as Hermione sliced a giant in half while Daphne took care of tens of skrulls at once, obliterating them into smithereens.
"How do you think they are doing?" Daphne asked her.
"I think we should trust them with their fight," she replied.

Pan and James dodged a barrage of attacks from Delphi before Pan fired off a Kamehameha wave at her. Delphi dodged it but the distraction was enough for James to deal a striking blow to her sending her spiraling towards the wall on the other end. She managed to get control of her momentum mid-air and landed perfectly on her feet but Pan had already made her next move as Delphi saw her mere inches away from reaching to her with a ready-to-go punch. The hit, however, never came as Pan moved away the last moment but behind her James followed in close; his palm crackling with pure magic as he formed a ball and pushed it into Delphi causing her to spit out blood as the explosion threw her through the wall into the next room.
James landed, huffing as he felt his limit closing in. He popped a senzu into his mouth when something crossed his mind. "You used telepathy to talk to Gohan, didn't you?" he asked Pan as they dodged a killing curse which narrowly escaped from hitting them both.
"Yeah!" Pan said landing on the other side of the living area.
"Can you still form a connection while they're merged?" he asked.
"I'll try," she said, dodging another attack from Delphi before firing off her own.

With Gohan now adding his super saiyan strength to Son Potter's he was toying with Tenille. The smug look on his face only infuriated her as she followed in with attack after attack which were all blocked and dodged by him. As he was preparing to attack back he stopped for a moment before nodding and sounding as if he'd hummed for a moment.
Tenille noticed the sword disappeared from his back as realization hit her. She looked at the manor from high up in the air but then realized her mistake as a powerful blow from Son Potter hit her point blank sending her tumbling towards the bed of her armies. She was losing power and she needed more. She waved her hands causing her armies to come towards where she would fall.
She landed in their midst and soon enough they all started dying. Daphne and Hermione backed away as they just like Son Potter started feeling a tremendous rise in Tenille's power. She didn't even left her army as she sucked them all dry. When she emerged from amidst their corpses her form had changed.
Her hair was longer, her skin had turned dark grey in color and her eyes had turned red. A black aura surrounded her which appeared like a black fire. With each of her step the grasses underneath her feet died instantly.
Daphne and Hermione began feeling her effect on them as they realized she was now absorbing their powers out of thin air. They wondered how long her range was as they looked towards the manor where their kids were engaged in the battle of their own.
Son Potter felt her presence to be much heavier than last time and saw her effect on Hermione and Daphne. He had prevented her aura from absorbing his own power but the girls and the kids didn't know how to do so. He then looked around and realized the forest surrounding the manor and the Potter estates were all dying. Her range was large. She needed to be stopped.
'Are you done?' he thought mentally.

Pan and James formed a quick plan after Pan got a confirmation from Son Potter. She blasted off towards Delphi who was still recovering from her recent hit from James when she noticed Pan coming towards her. It was the same move as before and Delphi smiled, standing up and looking at her.
"It won't work twice, you bitch!" she said as she whipped out her wand and formed a shield.
Pan kept coming at her and moved to the side at the last moment. Delphi smiled but her smile soon vanished as she saw James with not an energy ball but the freaking sword crackling in his hand closing in on her. It shattered her barrier like it was nothing as it plunged deep into her stomach, coming out on the other side.
Blood rushed out her mouth as she struggled to even cry in pain. James moved the sword a little while still impaling her with it before he pulled it out as blood gushed out of her wound.
"Don't worry," Pan said looking at Delphi. "We won't let you die unless you tell us where your horcruxes are. We have other ways to find them but we'd prefer if you told us yourself."
She then stepped aside as James sliced Delphi's hands away. Her scream filled the manor as she fell unconscious on the ground. As James saw her withering in pain on the cold tiled floor when he heard Son Potter's voice inside his head.
'Are you done?' he asked.
"I am," James replied by speaking as he let go of the sword. It vanished before hitting the ground.

The sword appeared in his hand as Son Potter struck the air, slicing it and the clouds in half as the strike elongated, amplified by his ki and hit Tenille head-on. Shockingly her aura stopped the attack but it certainly took her quite an effort to do so.
Son Potter smiled. He could defeat her with a little more effort from his two selves. So it was that Gohan and Harry powered up inside him. Harry's magic crackled while Gohan ascended to super saiyan two. Son Potter's aura flared wild as it lit up the night sky like it was morning.
Tenille looked at him in disgust as she blasted towards him. Son Potter gripped his sword tightly as he threw a strike at her. She tried to stop it but couldn't as his attack start to push her back. The sword crackled and vibrated from all the energy it received from its master.
"You won't win," she said as she flared her ki, her powers increasing when she was hit by a powerful spell. It didn't affect her in the least but it certainly got her attention. She turned and smiled at them as Hermione and Daphne fired a barrage of spells at her.
A shield of black smoke and slime appeared, stopping their spells like they were nothing when a powerful energy blast hit her, making her lose her balance. She clenched her teeth in anger as she turned around.
"He's not alone," said James as he and Pan stood facing her. She didn't miss an incapacitated Delphi tied and unconscious on the ground.
"She's just as worthless as her father," Tenille said when she felt Son Potter's attack overpowering her.
"And you are one persistent bitch," Pan said as she and James fired off energy blasts at her.
Daphne and Hermione weren't going to be left behind as they attacked her with their own spells and curses.
An attack from all sides was difficult to block. They started coming closer as she screamed in anger. The impending feeling of defeat was approaching her as she remembered how she had lost to him the last time. It was so humiliating. No! It won't happen again. She won't lose again. She was stronger this time…way stronger. They had no chance. No chance!
A deafening scream followed by a burst in power saw her aura flare up like wild fire as it pushed back those on the ground. For Hermione and Daphne it was too much as they were thrown off of their feet and landed far from where the fight was going on. Not only did Tenille's energy burst threw them afar it also affected them as they got serious burns from her black aura. It hurt.
They all saw what she did to those two. The little power gap served her good as she started overpowering them all slowly. Her smile turned into a sadistic laugh as she started to rise slowly in the air, her attack now more prominently focused towards Son Potter.
"Go!" James told Pan. "I got this." She nodded before leaving him and blasting off to where her mother and godmother were.
Losing one more of her attackers only helped Tenille but then Son Potter and James stopped their attacks. She looked at them confused, her grin never leaving her face.
"Tired already?" she asked looking at them when James started to ascend into the air. He stopped when he was at their level. "Are you planning to gang up on me? So very manly of you."
They charged at her as she screamed. A battle ensued. Loud booms and shockwaves from their punches filled the sky, shaking the earth, dispersing the clouds. With her increased power she was effectively dodging and blocking their attacks but James' power surprised her. She didn't know he was that powerful and with time his power was only increasing. She had heard that when they had all attacked her mountain base where they'd encountered her armies of yetis and skrulls James had taken down more than half of her army himself.
"You fight well, little boy," she said looking at James. "But do you think you can defeat me?"
"No," he replied. "And you lost your focus on a very important thing since we began this fight."
"Enlighten me," she said smugly.
"The sword," Son Potter said as she looked at him.
"Hah! Where is it?" she asked seeing as the sword wasn't with him when she realized it but by then it was too late.
"It's here," said James as he impaled the sword inside her. He didn't hesitate and fed the sword his power, empowering it with his magic as he pushed it deep into her until it had come out her back. She gasped for air as her hand rose to deal a fatal blow to James when she felt the sword vanish and looked down. It was indeed gone but then it appeared in Son Potter's hand and he sliced her once from head to toe.
A thin streak of red followed the cut before her body split into two halves as she fell down. However, the moment her body split it started to heal back. Son Potter charged at her, slicing her more times than she could count before he formed his battle stance, the sword disappearing from his hand back into James' as he cupped his palms, pulling them back before charging up an energy ball. An idea that Son Potter got from Gohan's memories of Future Trunks when he'd killed Freiza.
"Don't worry," he said looking at her. "I won't repeat my mistake."
Her black eyes reflected the bright shine of his attack as it absorbed her entirely, obliterating her into ashes as it lit the sky like morning sun.
And just like that she was gone. Son Potter reduced back to Harry and Gohan as the three men came down to where Hermione, Daphne and Pan were. With Tenille gone her magic laced attack's effects also washed off as Hermione and Daphne felt better immediately.
"Is it over?" asked Pan looking at her dad and godfather.
"It is," said Gohan.
