Chapter Eight: The Beginning of the End
A few days passed since the boggart incident with Gohan. Cell had destroyed a tremendous amount of cities. Some of them were wizard cities too. It was nearing December; the month Cell would attack Gohan. Everyone was still on Namek for some reason. Gohan had not yet seen the Daily Prophet or even knew it existed so he still wasn't sure of whom the mysterious power belonged to. The people at Hogwarts ('cept for the warriors) still did not know that Gohan was the kid who beat Cell. Gohan was getting worried because the power kept on coming up more often then before. He didn't know what to do. He didn't fell like telling anyone at Hogwarts about his problem. He didn't feel like telling Yuske or Kuwabara because he had no idea of how they'd reply. So the only person he felt like telling was Kurama. But not yet, not now.
Gohan woke up to the see the sun shining dimly through the windows. It was a bit too early to get ready for class. Then he felt a tingle go down his spine. ~Damn it, another city destroyed. When will this stop? It's only a matter of time until it comes here. ~ He thought. He felt his tail twitch. ~And this stupid tail won't do me any good. It'll prevent me from going super. ~
He was looking out the window waiting for time to pass. ~Father, I wish you were here with me right now. ~
-----------------------------------------------------
"Gohan, you haven't touched your food yet. Is something wrong?" asked Kurama. "No, everything's all right."
There were only a few more weeks until Christmas. Gohan and his friends walked to DADA class. They turned to see Dumbledore coming towards them. "Gohan, could I talk to you for a minute?" he asked. "Umm ok."
"Gohan, are you going away from Hogwarts for Christmas vacation?"
"No, my friends and family are someplace else. And I would have stayed with one of my friends here 'cept they aren't leaving either." He replied.
"Ok then." Said Dumbledore. He was hoping that Gohan would leave so that he could go back with his family, which he hoped that they would know what was going on.
The four kids entered the room to see Lupin standing in front of the class, waiting for the latecomers. (A/N They had it w/ Slytherin)
"Good. I see everyone is here. Ok class, a few days ago, all the teachers discussed a problem we seem to be having. As of now, you all pretty much know that the world is under attack, " Said Lupin as calmly as possible, " so far ½ of the planet's cities have been destroyed. The Daily Prophet has described the "thing" that has been destroying the cities. His name is Cell."
Gohan choked. He also heard others gasping at the name. He couldn't believe it, he was right. It was Cell, he's come back.
"As you know, Cell had supposedly died long ago. It seems somehow, he's come back. They also told the name of the person that Cell is coming after. I will not say the name of him, but will only tell that he is a student here at Hogwarts." He said stared straight into Gohan's eyes. More gasps came.Kurama followed Lupin's star right into Gohan. Gohan quickly turned away to avoid Lupin. Right then, Lupin knew that Gohan had known something important and Gohan had been lying.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Gohan and his friends went to their other classes and then headed to lunch. Gohan and Kurama both had a lot of things going through their minds while Yuske and Kuwabara were thinking of ways to become stronger.
For Gohan, the day seemed to slip by quickly. Gohan saw Harry and Ron talking to each other as he walked.
"Hey Gohan, what's up?" asked Ron. "Nothing much, just thinking."
"Ok then, see ya later." Said Harry.
He and Ron continued to walk. "I can't believe they canceled Quidditch for the year. This is all that Cell guy's fault." Said Ron.
Gohan entered his last class. And just like the day, it ended very fast.
Students swarmed into the Great Hall when dinner began. Gohan was one of the firsts to enter. He planned on going outside to prepare for the fight against Cell. There was no doubt in him that Cell would be searching for him.
He figured he better get some food in him before he trained.
"Attention, may I please have your attention." Shouted Dumbledore while he tapped his spoon against his cup.
"Many of your teachers have already told you that the world is being attacked by an infamous thing name Cell. So, as of tomorrow, your classes will teach you to prepare in case Hogwarts is attacked. These lessons will only be taught to defend and not attack, for magic is of no use against this horrid thing. And until this villain is caught and bought to justice, no one will be allowed outside after 7:00. " Dumbledore then sat back down and food began appearing on the tables.
During that dinner, there wasn't as much excitement and conversation as before. Many of them knew that they would not like they're classes as much anymore.
After dinner, Gohan went back to his dormitory to change his clothes. He took out his dark blue suit that Piccolo gave him (it still fits somehow). The only thing was that Gohan didn't know that it'd be a full moon.
"So, you're going training I see," asked Yuske as he and his friends entered, "Kurama had told us both what happened. Gohan, let us help you train or at least watch you. This place is sooooo boring."
"Hmmm..... alright then. But, when Cell comes, I'm the only one that can fight. I don't want anyone getting hurt or killed.again."
The four of them went outside. Gohan was looking down at the ground as he felt Cell's energy destroying another city.
What the four of them didn't know was that Lupin and Dumbledore was watching them through different windows, breaking the rules. But they weren't interested in the rules; they were watching to see what they would do this late at night. (A/N: I'm pretending that they found a cure for the werewolf thing)
"Gohan, you can just go ahead and do what ever you're suppose to do, we'll just watch." Said Kurama.
Before he started to train, Gohan looked up at the calmness in the sky. Big mistake.
Gohan saw the moon and pain started to pierce through him. He knew that this time, it would be a lot harder since it was the real deal.
He started growing fur and sharp teeth. Kurama, Yuske, and Kuwabara stared in horror.
Gohan was starting to get bigger.
"Quick Yuske, the moon, use your Spirit Gun to destroy the moon. Hurry!" shouted Kurama
"Ok, what ever you say."
Dumbledore stared at Gohan's transformation. Lupin wanted to move but his legs wouldn't let him.
Yuske powered up for his gun. In a few seconds, he shot a blue streak of energy across the sky. The moon exploded into bits of rocks.
The two professors couldn't believe what they saw.
Yuske and his friends ran over to Gohan. He shrunk back into his saiyan state and collapsed in his torn out suit.
"Gohan." Whispered Kurama. The three of them were worried about his friend but they wee positive that Gohan would be all right. They carried their friend back to the dormitory.
Gohan woke up the next morning all worn out. He saw that he didn't have his tail anymore so he guessed that his friends pulled it off.
"How are you doing. That was quite a show you put on last night." Said Kurama. Yuske and Kuwabara were still asleep.
"I'm ok, " Replied Gohan, "I just need to rest."
*************************************
After going to his classes, Gohan went down to lunch. He had worked up an appetite after all the work he had done. He didn't do much work though. He spent half the day thinking of what to do. Cell was two weeks away. He planned it all out. Gohan would go back to Kami's Lookout and use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. If his friends wanted to go, he'd take them there.
The rest of the classes were boring. Gohan didn't bother to pay attention in classes since he knew none of this defense magic junk would ever help him. He was a half-saiyan, not a wizard. He was sure his friends felt the same way about magic.
His last class was DADA. After class, Lupin asked Gohan and his friends to follow him to Dumbledore's office to discuss something. Gohan felt sick in his stomach. He knew what they were going to talk about.
Lupin ad his students entered Dumbledore's office to find Dumbledore sitting at his desk.
Dumbledore looked up and said, "I was wondering when you were going to get here. I wanted to talk about the crisis that has been going on around the world. It has come to my understanding that Gohan is in danger. I have also gathered that the three of you know somewhat of the things going on. Am I right?"
The four of them solemnly nodded. Gohan looked down at he floor. ~ This is my chance. After the old man's done, I leave this place and go to Kami's lookout.~
Dumbledore continued, " After seeing Gohan's transformation a few nights ago," Gohan looked up, "I have come to realize,"
~ Yea... You've come to realize that you magic won't work right? And that only power will defeat Cell, not magic, RIGHT? ~
" that you four are our only hope to save the world. I have never seen someone shoot a stream of blue light across the sky to the moon with a wand as Mr.Uramshi had. That is why I will inform the teachers on teaching you more advanced magic." He finished.
Gohan started to get angry. ~ You fool, don't you know that magic won't work? I should have known, you wizards are all alike, you think that magic is the only solution in times like these.~
Yuske couldn't say a word. ~ Oh come on! Just great, more work to do. We should be wasting our time training, not learning magic crap. ~
Kurama was thinking about what was going to happen. He knew that magic could not defeat a creature such as Cell.
" No, I'm sorry, but I can't waste my time on such insignificant things such as magic. I need to concentrate on training. I've got to go now. And don't bother trying to look for me. " Said Gohan standing up.
He ran out of the office leaving the rest of them behind. He went to the window planning on flying out, when he heard a voice.
"Hahaha, look at this you guys, the little first year is soo afraid of Cell that he's planning suicide." Sneered Malfoy.
Gohan couldn't take it anymore. He was going to teach this kid a lesson he'll never forget. Gohan turned around to face Malfoy and his cronies. He formed an energy ball in his hand and pointed at Malfoy. "Get ready, you're lucky this one isn't too strong." Said Gohan.
He held out his palm, aimed and fired. Malfoy fell down in shock. He had a frightened expression on. Dumbledore and the others had come just in time to see what happened.
Gohan turned and saw them. "See ya later." He said and took off out the window.
Lupin ran to the window and saw no trace of Gohan.
Gohan flew as fast as he could. ~ From now on, every minute is vital and can't be wasted. ~ Gohan was worried. For in two weeks, Cell would strike. And this time Goku won't be there to bail him out.
Well? How do u like it? REVIEW!!!
