(A/N) Hi everyone! I hope you enjoy and as I always say I don't own the Dragon Ball or Harry Potter franchises. Let's continue our adventure...
Summary
Harry and Bulma go to the cave at the back of Mount Paozu and they were surprised as they met an AI and its artificial body. Things only got stranger from there...
Chapter 3.5 - The Truth, Albus Dumbledore and a Turtle?
In The Cave
As Harry fell onto the metal floor with a lifeless thud an unknown black fluid seemed to ooze out of the scar (1) like a symbiote (2) crawling out his head it screamed in agony as it started to evaporate. As soon as it had fully evaporated GRIPS' scanners detected a very large power level nearby. It was Harry! As soon as it appeared it disappeared as Harry gained more colour to him as his chest started to rise and fall slowly as Harry just passed out from the pain the memories and the parasitic ooze (3).
Inside Harry's Mind
"Hello Harry," a voice in his head said in an upset tone which startled Harry "Hello my ass! Who are you? And where in the hell am I? Tell me NOW!" Harry asked angrily and a little fearfully. The strange voice said "I'll introduce myself Harry. My name is Tom Marvolo Riddle" he wrote in flames then the letters shifted to form the words "I am Lord Voldemort" Tom saw Harry go into a defensive stance as he shouted "What the fuck you killed my parents and nearly me too! So. Why. Are. You. Here?!" Harry demanded his voice laced with venom. Tom looked sheepish as he stated, "I'm sorry that I killed your parents." he bowed deeply "I'm here to help you I wasn't in my right mind after I created my 7… No 6 horcruxes the one that you just destroyed I have partially left your mind as a horcrux on a living being acted like a parasite eating away at your strength which isn't fully unleashed you're only at 20% of your full-strength courtesy of a manipulative old goat-fucker named 'Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore' he blocked most of your magic too." "Wait a sec. Magic Exists!" Harry asked bewilderedly to Tom forgetting how he was acting previously. "Yes, it does but aside from that the reason I'm here in your mind. Is first to apologise about your parents and second is to ask you to help me…" Tom started "Wait! Why should. I. Help. You? You are the one who murdered my parents! Give me one GOOD reason that makes me obligated to help a murderer like you!" Harry spat in a gruff voice sounding many years older than he was at Tom with venom and as he got angrier at Tom the small room in his mind started to warm up as a faint aura surrounded Harry but as quickly as it happened it abruptly stopped and calmed down "Dammit getting like this isn't gonna help anyone" Harry shouted at himself as it was Tom's time to look bewildered as he said quickly "Harry, I had no control of myself as I wasn't in the best state of mind" "the award for understatement of the century goes to Tom Marvolo Riddle a murderous bastard." He spat sarcastically as Tom decided to ignore as he explained "Just listen, when I was in school I came across a book on Horcruxes and how to make them and I decided to make one without thinking of the repercussions like my sanity and only thinking about immortality. I ended making 7 including you as of yesterday it went down to 6 and the Horcrux gave you a second chance at life so you didn't die the Horcrux did I'm grateful and from now on I can help clear you mind and the blocks on your magic in the least amount of pain I can try there may be a stinging sensation and I'll also give you my magic core to add to your own as it seems too weak at the moment but the second my core and your core fuse you will gain all my memories and knowledge of my previous life before you 'killed' me I'll work on your core and your mind while you're sleeping and won't be able to feel the pain at night as it is only in your soul.
Meanwhile
Hogwarts in Dumbledore's Office
Dumbledore's eyes widened as the fancy and advanced-looking equipment well the most advanced items in the whole castle was going haywire before stopping entirely for a few minutes as he went into a full on panic his scapegoat and key to the Potter fortune just died out of the blue looked back at the device to find it turning he sighed in relief 'was probably my imagination I'm just going to go to bed probably my age is getting to me'
With Bulma, GRIPS and an unconscious Harry
Bulma was holding Harry as she yelped and dropped Harry as she felt her arms getting burnt screaming "OWW! What the fuck! Harry just burnt my arms but how it happened was I saw a faint blue line around him as he just started heating up rapidly!" she looked back at Harry and saw no line around him sighing in relief but couldn't get the stinging pain off of her arms.
2 Weeks Later
Harry started to wake up in an unfamiliar bed (again) but not like when he met Grandpa Gohan he covered his eyes and felt weak as his stomach roared louder than an enraged lion in hunger alerting Bulma and GRIPS Harry was back. It was Bulma who gave a running tackle to Harry as she hugged him with tears running down her cheeks as she didn't want her first real friend who saw her as Bulma and not Dr. Briefs' daughter she was relieved as Harry hugged her back and asked "could I get something to eat? Also, what's the time?" Bulma just laughed as she wiped the tears away and smiled at him. "It's the afternoon you have been out for 2 weeks I didn't think you'd make it back to the land of the living. I think I have something that could satisfy your needs as we got something from a short white cat called 'Korin' he gave us some beans and showed us what they could do I asked for a few to examine he was fine with it. Do you remember anything also about a few mins after you 'died' you started to heat up and shouted out well it's better if you listen for yourself it seemed that GRIPS was equipped with an audio recorder" she took out her phone and pressed 'play' as a gruff sounding Harry sounded at least 20 to 25 years older "You are the one who murdered my parents! Give me one GOOD reason that makes me obligated to help a murderer like you!" the audio clip ended as Harry scratched the back of his head chuckling "there's the short answer and there's the long answer I'll give you the short answer and the reason I have the soul of a murderer inside of mine and about the black-goo-thingy that oozed out of my head is like an anchor for souls basically similar to immortality the reason you might not like it since there isn't scientific evidence the reason is 'Magic'" that caused Bulma to ball out laughing hysterically then asked "are you pulling my leg?" her eyes widened as she saw a flame floating above his hand "No." Harry said simply. Bulma fell to the floor and in a dazed confusion asked "How did you do that? That's impossible!" she snapped out of her confused state and sternly demanded "Explain. Now."
1 and a half hours later
"Now I see I finally understand what magic is. Maybe I could use it for some experiments at home. But I'll need your help. Are you OK with that Harry?" Bulma asked cheerfully. Harry replied innocently "What about our adventure?" Bulma had completely forgot about their quest to collect the dragon balls "Oh, yeah I forgot with you being unconscious for the last 2 weeks. So, let's get back to it we'll continue in the morning I'll bring out the futon" 'I knew having an emergency futon under the bed was a good idea' Bulma thought "I made some dinner for after you wake up I left it in a stasis capsule (4). Let's eat now then get some sleep if you want more food, I'll give you a senzu bean." With a nod from Harry and confirmation from his stomach groaning for it to be filled Bulma grabbed the capsule she threw it down and 5 different dishes popped out as they ate, they told each other stories about their childhood. Bulma intrigued about the Saiyan race Harry was more than happy to tell her everything he knew about the Saiyans about the different types of Saiyans and how they lived that they decided worth by their "strength" and "power" levels of others he had also told her "I had this dream after I met Grandpa…"
Harry's Dreamscape
There in front of harry was a huge red ball in space he mumbled "Planet Vegeta (5)" as he saw a short, purple and white person with a pink tail with a dark purple tip and out each side of his head were two black horns the lizard-like man was sitting on a floating chair in the void of space a man who looked exactly like him except for the eyes and he had a scar on the left side of his chin which looked like a dagger shouted "FREIZAAAA!" as a glowing blue orb of pure energy formed in the palm of his hand he threw the orb at Freiza who lifted up his finger as a giant red ball of energy 100 times the size of the blue orb and pointed towards him and cackled evilly "oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, look at the fireworks you filthy monkeys! I'm glad Dodoria decided to get rid of your teammates Bardock" Freiza spat out the last part venomously. As his sphere of destruction consumed both the blue orb and Bardock crashed into Planet Vegeta the planet started to deteriorate Harry cried out two names "Mom, Dad," Harry cried with tears running down his face as out of the corner of his eyes he saw a silver pod zoom across space away from the dying planet.
Bulma heard the story but she couldn't even fathom the pain that telling this story Harry would've put himself through to be an innocent child once more but Harry heard Bulma sobbing as Harry pulled her into a hug as he told her "Don't cry Bulma, I should thank you for asking as I feel more whole as if a weight has been lifted off my chest. Bulma I really appreciate it so thanks." Harry smiled at Bulma who stopped crying as she hugged Harry back and soon both took a bath, Harry needing to be taught how to bathe properly, then promptly fell asleep.
The next morning
As rays of sunlight splashed Harry's face, he woke up and decided to do some exercise. He got dressed and went outside. As he walked around he found some boulders he lifted one twice as big as him and crushed it with his bare hands. He moved on to the next one he lifted it up and the boulder yelled "WAIT! PLEASE PUT ME DOWN!" harry nodded and gently and apologised "Sorry. I didn't know rocks could talk" "I'm a turtle dammit! I have a name and it's Turtle by the way." Turtle scolded he calmed down and asked "I'm hungry and lost could you help me get back to the sea?" this was when Bulma woke up and started getting ready for the day she shouted "Harry I'm making us some breakfast come on it will help us kick-start our day of dragon ball hunting." Bulma opened the door and saw Turtle she gasped and asked "Harry, what's this turtle doing here?" She was even more surprised to hear what the turtle replied with "Um… do you have any sea water? Also could you help me get back to the sea?" Turtle asked as Bulma quickly made some salty water as they all ate their respective meals, after they finished eating, drinking in Turtle's case, Bulma gave turtle their names. Turtle looked surprised as he heard Harry's surname being 'Son' and asked "Are you related to a man named 'Son Gohan' by chance?" Harry nodded Turtle smiled and asked "how is Gohan doing as of late?" Harry's eyes had just shadowed over as if to tell Turtle he died and decided to change topic "Where do you live Turtle?" Bulma brought out a map and asked "Point to where you live please it will help us locate where you live." Turtle pointed to the beach which was close to a dragon ball Bulma and Harry decided to bring Turtle to the beach.
30 minutes later
Harry, Bulma and Turtle were on their way to the beach Harry was running with Turtle on his back and Bulma driving a motorcycle (Harry was only slightly faster). As they reached their halfway point a giant brown-furred bear that looked semi-human wearing clothes that looked similar to armour and wielding a broadsword jumped out from behind a tree and the Bear Thief growled "Give me the turtle so I can turn him into 'turtle soup'. Eating humans gives me heartburn." "No! Turtle is my friend I won't hand him to anyone! So shut your ugly mug!" Harry yelled stubbornly at the thief and Bulma was shaken with fear from the bear's size and quietly told Harry "G-G-Give h-him what h-he w-wants." Harry shook his head as he asked Turtle "Hey Turtle, could you get off my back for a minute." Both Turtle and Bulma hid behind a rock as Harry outstretched his hand and shouted "FIENDFYRE! (6)" as a large stream of hell fire hit the Bear Thief in the centre of his chest after a few seconds of a never-ending stream of hell fire he dispelled the flames and without taking a breath he shouted "DEPULSO!" as he banished the once brown furry thief and now charcoal black furry thief. He gave Bulma a 'thumbs up' as she thought 'remind me NEVER get on his bad side or that might become me.' She won't ever get scared ever again after seeing what just went on today.
30 minutes later
They had finally gotten to the beach later than expected as both Bulma needed a toilet break and getting something to eat Harry looked a bit tired after all he used an extremely powerful curse he would be fine in the next morning at the least. Harry put Turtle down. As Turtle said "Harry and Bulma thank you for bringing me back here just give me a bit and my master can give you a reward don't say that you don't want it because you both deserve this!" as Turtle swam towards an island in the distance as Bulma decided to spend some time exploring the beach Harry decided to spend the time sleeping to replenish his magical core. By the time Turtle got back the sun began to set in the horizon and by the time Turtle got back Harry was awake. On top of Turtle was an old man who got off of Turtle. The old man said "Hello my name is Roshi, the Master of the Turtle School. Um… which one is Harry Turtle?" Turtle pointed to Harry as Roshi looked at the boy and noticed his tail as he said "So, you're Gohan's grandson the last time I saw him was about 9 months ago and all he talked about was you I doubt he told you that I was the man who taught him martial arts." That comment caught Harry's attention as the missing piece of the puzzle fell into place "as thanks for helping Turtle find his way home I'll give you a present" Roshi yelled at the top of his lungs "COME TO ME FLYING CARPET!" Nothing happened "Um… Master you took the carpet to the dry-cleaner to get it cleaned" Turtle reminded Roshi who looked sheepish as he then shouted "COME TO ME IMMORTAL PHOENIX!" Nothing happened again 'Well I already know of one phoenix named Fawkes' Harry thought to himself thankful for Tom's memories "Um… Master the phoenix died of food poisoning." Turtle reminded Roshi again and this time both Harry and Bulma fell to the ground and he looked even more sheepish than before "Then let me think… hhmmmm… ooh I got it let's try it COME TO ME FLYING NIMBUS!" Roshi shouted even louder than previously this caused an echoing effect as a small yellow cloud flew towards Harry and stopped in front of Harry "This is a 'Nimbus Cloud' it will allow you to fly as long as you are pure of heart see watch" Roshi jumped on to the cloud and fell right landing on his rear end "OWW!" Roshi shouted in surprise then Harry jumped on but he didn't fall through it he stayed on top of the cloud this surprised Roshi and remarked "Well done Harry! There aren't that many pure-hearted people around these days Bulma you should try too." Harry jumped off as Bulma tried jumping on the cloud having a similar effect as Roshi "OWW!" Bulma yelped as she got up and shouted "HOW THIS THING MUST BE BROKEN! I'M THE MOST PURE PERSON AROUND!" the way she shouted made her sound like a spoilt brat making Turtle, Roshi and Harry cringe. "While I remember. Turtle, I believe you said that they are looking for Dragon Balls. I believe this is one of them." As Roshi took an amber ball with three red stars in the middle of it. Bulma's jaw dropped at the sight of the three-star-ball as Bulma asked "Can we have that dragon ball please?" Roshi cracked a grin and asked for something in return (7). Roshi's had a nosebleed at the sight he received leaving a blushing Bulma as Roshi kept his side of the deal they made and gave her the dragon ball Turtle then taunted Roshi "No wonder the nimbus wouldn't let you ride it." "An old Master like me deserves a break from the rules every once in a while!" Roshi reprimanded Turtle harshly.
