Hey, it's me! It's the next chapter! Review!
Chapter 47
"Escaped? ESCAPED?" Morgana hissed with red eyes as she glared at the hologram of the Arbiter in the lavatory of the plane that she was in heading to New York City. The plane was about a half-hour away. She had put a Muffalito spell on the door after she had come into the bathroom, so no one could hear her.
"Your most honored excellency, it was the interference of the saiyan Bardock that led to the escape of the children. I defeated the Witch in fair combat." The Arbiter said.
"I'm getting very tired of these failures, Arbiter. I want a Z Fighter in captivity soon!" Then, Morgana sighed.
"Where's Lord Tyranus and Cell?" the witch asked.
"Emperor Cell left immediately after recovering from the Witch's attack, and Lord Tyranus is currently with the rest of the strike team, examining this place." The Arbiter said. Mortana groaned and rubbed her forehead.
"Did you find anything yet?" she sighed.
"No, not yet, my lady." The Arbiter sighed.
"Keep searching! I want to know what they were searching for, and why they went to see Fortuneteller Baba!" Morgana hissed.
"As you wish." The Arbiter said.
"And contact Severus Snape at Hogwarts. Tell him to begin Project Dark Squad. We need those androids up and running as soon as possible. And I don't care if Android Twenty-Five is willing or not!" Morgana snarled.
"Of course. Your will is our command." The Arbiter said as he raised his hand to his chest. Morgana sighed as she turned the hologram off, washed her hands, and then unlocked the door and walked back to her seat. As she turned to look at the Atlantic Ocean, a smile went over her face.
"Run all you like, Pan. I've got the numbers, the technology, the firepower… and you've got nothing." Morgana thought as she chuckled.
Elsewhere…
"What is he doing here?" Pan pointed at Raditz while Ron gaped.
"You can thank my father for that. He somehow got into hell and broke me out, like how he did years ago." Raditz chuckled.
"You did what?" Ron gaped at Bardock.
"Do you know what you've done?" Pan glared at the saiyan, who chuckled
"Give me a break, he's my son!" Bardock protested.
"Who tried to kill his brother and kidnapped his nephew! Gohan still has nightmares about it! He was four!" Hermione yelled as she pointed at the long black haired saiyan.
"Hey, Vegeta was even worse, and look where he is? Don't I get a chance too? Besides, aren't you a perfect example of that, my dear niece?" Then, Raditz appeared next to Pan, and grabbed her left arm. Pan let out a gasp as Raditz yanked her sleeve up, revealing the Dark Mark, plain as day and pitch black.
"WHAT THE?" Ron screamed as he looked at the Dark Mark.
"My my, what an interesting design." Raditz smirked. Pan instantly yanked her arm away.
"You made your point." Pan snarled.
"Gah, Dark Mark!" Ron squeaked as he looked at Pan, who blushed.
"I'm not a Death Eater. Not anymore." Pan said softly.
"Ron, I'll explain it to you." Hermione said as she patted Ron's shoulders.
"I hate to interrupt, but every minute that we're babbling, is another minute that all those psychos out there close in on us and the others. It's not going to be long until someone messes up." Bardock interrupted.
"Great-gramps is right. Let's move." Pan said as she stood up.
"Raditz, hit the hatch." Bardock ordered. With a nod, the saiyan slammed his fist on a button on the wall. A beeping sound echoed through the ship as the hatch lowered onto the ground, causing blaring sunlight to light up the dark room, causing everyone to groan, save Android 16, whose eyes weren't affected by the change of light.
"Cursed sun!" Raditz snarled.
"It pass. Wait a minute." Bardock ordered.
"So, where are we, exactly?" Pan asked as she blinked her eyes.
"I told Raditz to land the ship far away enough from the pyramids that no stupid tourists would notice, but not close enough to any cities. I'm not stupid." Bardock frowned.
"Except the part where the ships come out of the pyramids." Hermione muttered.
"That remind me. You guys stay with the ship." Bardock ordered as Raditz walked down the hatch.
"What?" Ron and Hermione gaped at Bardock, while Pan and Android 16 frowned.
"I'm afraid that this is a saiyan only event. If the security machines detect anyone else, they'll… let's just say there won't be anything left that you can be identified by." Bardock smirked. Ron gulped.
"Ummmm… he makes a good point." Ron gulped nervously.
"Affirmative." Android 16 said
"Good. Stay here, and stay out of sight. Do not leave the ship. We might need a quick getaway." Bardock said.
"You do realize that this isn't going to help much." Hermione said, as Bardock and Pan walked towards the hatch.
"What's that supposed to mean?" the older saiyan frowned.
"I mean, I'm no war veteran, but I know very well that a successful army needs weapons, strategy, and numbers!" Hermione said, putting emphasis on the last part as Pan walked out the hatch. Bardock stopped and turned to look at Hermione.
"Don't worry, I'm smarter than that. Come on. By the way… I also went after Raditz because he's my son, and he deserves the same chance I did." Bardock sighed.
"Oi vey!" Ron groaned.
"Look, the truth is… I was a crappy father. I mean, I never held Kakarot in my arms when he was a baby! And don't get me started on Turles. I was always busy wiping out planets with my crew or Hansia. I'm just trying to make amends to my kids so that they don't hate me for the rest of my life." The older saiyan sighed.
"You don't need to do that! Gohan forgave you a long time ago!" Ron protested.
"Heh, I know. Plus, I figured: If Kakarot turned so many guys into good guys like Prince Vegeta, then I can turn my own son into a good guy!" Bardock grinned.
"GAK!" Everyone anime-fainted.
"FATHER! HURRY UP!" Raditz's voice roared.
"I guess that's my cue. Better get out there before my grand-niece kills him." Bardock sighed.
"Bardock… good luck." Hermione smiled nervously.
"Thanks, kiddo. Don't worry bout me or your little friend. And trust me. When we succeed, you'll see it. And don't worry about this baby, no one's gonna see her." Bardock chuckled. Then, the saiyan ran out of the ship, causing the hatchway to close behind him. Bardock sighed as he looked around. He could see pretty much nothing but sand and blue skies, save Raditz, who was leaning against the ship, and Pan, who was looking up at the sky.
"Let's move." Bardock said, earning a smile on the other saiyans's faces. Then, they all levitated into the air. Bardock frowned as he looked around.
"That way! There they are!" Bardock pointed behind him, and Pan and Raditz whirled to see the large structures, several miles away.
"Come on!" Bardock yelled as a blue aura surrounded him, and shot towards the pyramids. Pan immediately flew behind him, with Raditz behind her.
"Dad, is this a good idea? Do you really think that gramps can redeem Raditz?" Gohan frowned as they watched the three saiyans shoot towards the large stone structures.
"Well… I think that he does deserve a second chance." Goku frowned.
"You think that about anyone!" Gohan glared at his father.
"Can someone tell me what the bloody hell is going on?" Harry groaned from the same spot that he had been stuck in for the past few hours. Then, he glared at Old Kai, who was laughing at a comic book.
"Hey, time should be up by now. We've been here for over fifteen hours!" Harry growled.
"Oh yes, I think you're right. It should be over by now. I'm surprised that it's not. Sometimes it takes a bit longer for the really powerful ones!" Old Kai grinned. Harry snarled and stood up like a rocket.
"I'M TIRED OF YOUR GAMES, KAI! RAH!" Harry roared as a white aura completely surrounded him!
"Whoa!" Gohan gasped as a wind smashed past him. Purple sparks were dancing around the young wizard.
"Amazing!" Goku gasped.
"Do you realize how much time that we've wasted? All the lives that…" Harry gasped softly as he looked at his hands, causing the white aura to fade away.
"Wow, it worked!" Harry gasped.
"Do you still doubt me?" Old Kai smiled.
"I'm sorry." Harry apologized as he sat back into his previous position.
"I don't believe it! He was telling the truth!" Gohan gaped.
"Unbelieveable. And if Harry's power increased that much, imagine how strong you'll get! Cell won't stand a chance!" Goku grinned with excitement.
BOOM! A large dust cloud rose as the three saiyans crashed into the ground in front of one of the pyramids.
"This is it. Ready?" Bardock smirked.
"Of course." Pan smirked.
"Is that a trick question?" Raditz smiled.
"There appears to be no tourists around. Perfect, no distractions. Let's go." Bardock said as he walked into the entrance., quickly followed by Raditz.
"I hope that we get out of this alive." Pan thought before walking into the dark enterance, quickly fading from view.
What lies in the pyramid? Will the explorers find what they're looking for? Can Raditz really be redeemed? Review!
