Hey, it's me! Here's the next exciting chapter! Review!
Chapter 72
"Ginny? No! What happened?" Gohan gaped at the youngest Weasley, who looked at him silently as blood dripped from the side of her mouth.
"Ha ha ha hah…" a cold voice laughed as the sky darkened above them. Pansy howled with laughter as she and Goyle slowly sat up.
"Awww… not now!" Pan groaned as her fist clenched around her wand. Gohan snarled as he gritted his teeth.
"Finally, you show yourself, you bastard!" Gohan snarled as he whirled to see two pairs of feet land several feet in front of him. At that second, Harry howled in pain as he clutched at his forehead. Gohan whirled to see…
"Cell… Voldemort. Why am I not surprised?" Gohan hissed. Then, to everyone's surprise, Cell brought his hands together and clapped.
"Well done, boy, well done! I was wondering when you'd figure out our little secret. Do you like our latest Android?" Cell smiled. Then, he glanced at Ginny.
"Android 25, who is your master?" Cell asked calmly. Then, to Gohan, Pan, and Harry's shock, Ginny sank to one knee.
"You are, my Emperor. I serve you and the British Empire." Ginny said calmly. Gohan looked towards Cell with complete rage.
"Out of all the things you have ever done… now you've gone too far!" Gohan snarled as purple electricity danced around him. Then he shot towards Cell.
"Let's kill him!" Pan snarled with rage as blue electricity danced around her.
"Get him!" Harry roared with rage as they leaped towards Cell.
"Do try to relax, Potter. After all, we have much to talk about!" Cell sneered as he raised his hand with the Elder Wand and pointed it at them. Then, all three fighters stopped cold in mid-air, and smashed against the wall of a building.
"He… he's got the Elder Wand!" Pan gasped as she struggled against the wall.
"You don't deserve to hold that!" Gohan spat.
"Ha ha hah… oh, yes I do deserve this wand. After all, I am the most powerful wizard in the universe!" Cell crackled. Then, a giant smile went over his face.
"What's so funny?" Gohan yelled. Then, a yell made Gohan whirl to see Ginny leap at him.
"No! Damn it, Ginny! Come back! Fight it!" Gohan yelled as he blocked Ginny's punch. He jabbed the youngest Weasley in the stomach, causing her to gasp and back up in pain.
"I'm not going to kill you, I made you a promise." Gohan said. Then, he chopped her in the neck, causing Ginny to collapse to the ground, unconscious.
"Enjoy!" Then, Gohan whirled to see black lightning erupted from Cell's wand and smashed into the three warriors.
"GAAAAHHH!" Gohan roared in pain as he clenched his fists.
"AAAIIIEEE!" Pan screamed as her eyes watered.
"AAARRRGGGGHHH!" Harry howled in complete pain as electricity went through every inch of his body, making Voldemort cackle with laughter. Then, abruptly, Cell stopped, causing the three wizards to collapse to the ground, smoke rolling off their robes.
"When will you understand, boy, that you cannot win?" Cell laughed.
"You… won't… WIN!" Then, Gohan thrust his fist in front of him, sending Cell and Voldemort flying into the opposite building.
"Nice, dad!" Pan grinned.
"My dad taught me that. You just can't beat the classics." Gohan smirked as he lowered his fist.
"I couldn't agree more!" Gohan gritted his teeth with rage as Cell leaped into the air and landed on his feet, perfectly fine.
"Using the very air against me… very clever! But, you're not the only one who can manipulate Mother Nature!" Cell grinned as he held the Elder Wand out. Then, a wall of fire shot out of it and headed straight towards Gohan. Gohan gritted his teeth as he held his own wand out, sending a stream of water shooting towards Cell's fire, both colliding in a gigantic hiss of steam.
"Not bad, boy!" Cell grinned as the steam coated the street, completely blocking it from view. Then, in an instant, Gohan shot out from the steam and smashed Cell across the face, sending him sliding back several feet. He whipped around, his right hand already pulling his wand out to see Voldemort raise his wand out as well. Then, two green lights flew frm both their wands and collided. Gohan's other hand glowed yellow.
"Very good, mudblood! You are very skilled!" Voldemort cackled.
"Too bad you're not!" Gohan yelled, making Voldemort blink in surprise.
"What are you talking about, mudblood?" Voldemort sneered.
"Otherwise, you'd know what happens when I do this!" Then, Gohan's free hand glowed yellow as he brought it up beneath the magic duel and fired the ki blast, which rotated around Gohan's spell and flew straight at Voldemort, colliding into the magic clash. Then, the green light glowed orange for one split second, before exploding in a gigantic explosion, sending both wizards flying. Gohan slid back several feet, while Voldemort flew back into a car.
"My lord!" Pansy gasped in shock as she weakly sat up.
"Very clever, boy!" Gohan whirled to see Cell appear in front of him with his right hand sparking yellow.
"Take this! THUNDERPUNCH!" Then, Cell's hand slammed into Gohan's stomach, causing Gohan to howl in pain as he flew into the air and smashed into the ground, with small electric bolts still dancing around him.
"Ouch! That smarted! I see you got a few tricks since last time!" Gohan smirked as he weakly sat up.
"In fact, I got one too!" Gohan grinned as a fireball appeared on his left hand.
"FIRE PUNCH!" Gohan grinned as he slammed his fist across Cell's face, sending the android staggering back several feet.
"Hmph. Not bad!" Cell smirked as he shook his head. Then, a purple aura surrounded Gohan.
"You can't win, Cell! I'm far stronger than you! I got a little power up since the last time we met!" Gohan smirked.
BAM! Pan punched Crabbe in the face, causing him to collapse on the ground.
"And stay down, you dick!" Pan spat as she shook her fist. "
"Oh boy, there is so much that you don't understand. You could say that I've been hiding my true power as well." Cell smirked as he stood up and faced Gohan.
BOOM! The sound of a explosion from the other block caused smoke to land on the battlefield.
"Looks like Goten and Trunks are kicking Malfoy's ass!" Gohan grinned before he looked back at Cell.
"Oh really?" Gohan smirked. Then, his fist slammed across Cell's face, followed by a swift barrage of blows, ending with a swift punch that sent Cell flying into a fire hydrant. It blew, causing water to pour all over the android.
"And you're supposed to be invincible, pure perfection. Last chance, Cell, go. Leave this planet, call off this attack, and I'll let you live." Gohan snarled.
"Yeah! No one can beat my dad!" Pan smirked as she elbowed Pansy in the stomach, followed by a chop to the head, causing Pansy to slump, unconscious.
"Ha ha hah ha…" Gohan turned to see Cell slowly stand up, with a smirk on his face.
"The hell's so funny?" Gohan snarled as Cell wiped his face, cleaning the purple blood off.
"You have indeed gotten more powerful, boy." Cell chuckled.
"Finally, I can show my true power!" Cell roared as the sky flashed black lightning and the ground began to rumble.
"What the?" Harry gaped. Cell laughed as his skin flashed from green to black. Black lightning danced around the android as a red energy field surrounded him.
"NO! I WON'T LET YOU!" Pan screamed as she fired rapid ki blasts at Cell, which simply bounced off the android's shield and smashed into the ground.
"Pan, it's too late!" Gohan snarled as the wind picked up. He looked into the sky to see a black vortex circling above Cell.
CRASH! The two saiyans turned to see Malfoy smash onto the ground, looking really bad. He had a black eye, several cuts, and a few bruises.
"And that's how we do it!" Gotenks grinned as he landed next Gohan. Then, his eyes got wide at Cell. A yell made Gohan whirl to see Gohan charge towards him with a yell and his wand held above his head.
"EXPELIAMUS! STUPIFY!" Gohan roared as he pointed his wand at Malfoy. The first spell sent Malfoy's wand flying, the second sent Malfoy himself flying into a wall, causing him to slump to the ground out cold.
"Guys, what happening?" a familiar voice said, causing them to turn to see Bulla land behind them .
"Gak! Cell's transforming into his ultimate form!" Gohan snarled as the wind whipped past them.
"What? His ultimate form?" Bulla gaped. Then, in an instant, a gigantic flash lit up the area.
"GAAHHHHH!" Gohan, Pan, Harry, and Gotenks gasped.
BAM! Android 16's fist smashed across another Death Eater, sending him to the ground. Then, another bolt of black lightning cut across the sky, making 16 turned with shock
"No! What is this power?" Android 16 gasped.
"I didn't even know that that creature had another transformation!" the Supreme Kai gasped as he watched through the crystal ball.
"Stop whining!" Old Kai yelled at him.
Back to Our Warriors…
The four warriors watched silently as Cell softly landed on the ground in front of them.
"Oh… my… god…" Pan breathed softly. Red lightning continued to dance around the android. Cell's skin had turned to black, and, a tail with a sharp end was now waving behind him. A pitch black cloak fluttered behind him. Then, Cell opened his eyes, causing chills to rock down the wizards's spines. They were blood red, even more red than Voldemort's. Then, he turned to look at the five wizards.
"Finally, we see the dark monster within." Gohan snarled.
"Get ready!" Pan snarled as the five wizards got into fighting positions. Cell watched them emotionlessly, his eyes going from one person to the next. Then…
"Avada Kedavra." Cell smiled as his eyes glowed green. Then, a pair of green beam shot out of his eyes.
"LOOK OUT!" Gohan roared as he grabbed Gotenks and leaped to the left.
FLASH! A green light briefly lit up the area, briefly blinding everyone. Gohan heard a loud thump, creating a sick feeling in his stomach.
"Don't look guys, don't look!" Gohan hissed as he covered Gotenks's eyes. He opened his eyes to see Bulla lying on the ground in front of him, staring at him with a shocked look in her empty eyes, spread eagle on the ground. She was dead.
"NNOOOOO! BULLA! BULLA!" Pan screamed as she leaped to Bulla's side and shook her limp form.
"Get up Bulla, please!" Pan pleaded as her eyes watered.
"Pan, she's dead." Gohan said softly as he placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Get off me!" Pan screamed with rage as she threw off Gohan's hand and whirled towards Cell with pure rage in her eyes.
"YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!" She screamed with rage as she shot towards the android.
"Pan, no!" Gohan yelled, but she ignored him, slamming her fist into Cell's chest. To Gohan's shock, Cell didn't even react.
"She was my friend!" Pan screamed with rage as she kicked Cell in the head.
"Yeah! Let's get him!" Then, Gotenks rushed past Gohan, shooting straight towards Cell!
"Stop, dammit, stop!" Gohan roared after him, but the fusion boy ignored him as he slammed his fist into Cell's face. The android didn't even move as the two saiyans continued to pound their fists into him.
"Gohan, this is bad, very bad!" Harry said as he slowly pulled out his new wand and stood next to Gohan.
"Dammit, they're going to get themselves killed!" Gohan hissed as he stared at the android.
"You can still beat him… right?" Harry asked nervously as he looked at the android.
"I… don't know, Harry. I've never felt power like this before." Gohan said softly. Then…
BAM! With one swipe of his hand, Cell sent Gotenks flying into a building. Gotenks bounced off the building, separating into Goten and Trunks again at impact. Both boys fell to the ground, out cold. Then, he turned towards a furious Pan.
"Take this! MASENKO HA!" Pan snarled as she held her hands above her head, creating the familiar yellow blast. Then, she brought her hands out in front of her and fired it straight at the android!
BBBOOOOMMMM! A gigantic explosion occurred, but when the smoke faded, Cell was standing exactly where he had been there before. Cell simply smiled, and then disappeared with a crack.
"What? He apparated!" Pan snarled as she looked around.
"Looking for someone?" Pan heard behind her. She whirled just in time for Cell's knee to hit her in the stomach, followed by a smash to the neck, causing Pan to smash into the ground. Then, Pan's hair turned black.
"Stop! STUPIFY!" Harry yelled as he pointed his wand at Cell. Then, a red blast flew from Harry's wand and flew straight towards Cell. The blast hit Cell and bounced off him, smashing into a car, causing it to explode.
"That… that didn't do anything!" Harry stammered. Then, Cell glanced at them.
"Come on!" Harry yelled at Gohan, who nodded. Then, they charged at Ultimate Cell, who simply smiled as held his hand out, causing both warriors to stop in mid air and their hands to snap to their sides.
"So blind… so misguided. Humanity will never change." Cell said emotionlessly as he looked at the two wizards.
"You're the misguided one, murderer!" Gohan snarled.
"Am I now? Or is that merely opinion?" Cell smirked. Gohan now noticed a black armor with red and orange lines going through it creeping over Cell's skin, going from the feet up.
"Do you even know what you're defending? Who you're defending?" Cell smirked.
"What are you talking about?" Gohan snarled.
"You wasted yourself all those years, fighting for a corrupt Ministry, those fools of ministers? And America, it is a disgrace. You and I both know this, boy." Cell smirked. Then, he glanced at Harry.
"I can tell, Potter, that you know the truth about Dumbledore. Weren't expecting that from such the greatest hero ever, were you?" Cell smirked at Harry's snarl.
"Hah hah… Potter, you put your faith in the wrong people, just like your parents." Cell smiled at Harry's snarl.
"Oh, don't give me that. After all, look who your parents put their faith into. Pettigrew and Dumbledore. And look where that got them. Cut down like the vermin they are. Oh, and Gohan, you should thank Riddle!" Cell smirked.
"For what?" Gohan spat.
"Now where would you be if Riddle hadn't killed that woman your father was married to, you wouldn't even exist. Unfortunate for me, but great for you. Now then… I'll take my leave for now, but trust me, there's a lot more to be done." Cell chuckled.
"Oh, and tell your President this. There will be no negotiations, no politics, no debating, no more peace. From this day forward… we are at war. And I? I am Humanity's extinction!" Then, a mask slid over Cell's eyes, leaving two glowing red slits. He swung his hand out, sending both wizards flying into the wall, followed by a pile of rubble, landing on them. Then, Cell looked around and sighed.
"Hmph. Farewell. I have a nation to conquer, and, something that has been long overdue." Cell chuckled as he looked at the Elder Wand. Then, he looked back at Pansy and Crabbe, who were weakly standing up. He appeared in front of the two androids and looked down at them.
"My… Emperor?" Pansy asked weakly as he looked at her.
"How pathetic. All the power I gave you, and this is the result?" Then, Cell sighed. A second later, his hand went out and grabbed Pansy by the throat, causing her to gasp
"Normally, I'd snap your neck right now. But, I'm feeling generous. That, and at this rate, I'm losing warriors faster than I can make them." Cell muttered as he shook his head and flicked his finger at Malfoy, causing the limp wizard to land on the android's shoulder. Then, Cell grabbed Pansy with the other hand. Then, he glanced at Voldemort.
"Riddle, do come along. I wouldn't want you to be here when they come to!" Cell smirked as Voldemort glared at him.
"No, android! Now, I finish this!" Voldemort snarled as he pointed his wand at the pile of rubble. Then, a wall of fire appeared in front of Riddle, causing him to stagger back with shock. He instantly whirled towards Cell.
"There will be a time and place for Harry Potter's death, but not now. Not here." Cell chuckled at Voldemort.
"…..Very well. He shall live, for now." Voldemort spat. Then, he vanished with a crack. In an instant after Voldemort, the 4 androids vanished with a loud crack.
Several minutes later…
BOOM! The rubble flew apart with an explosion,. As the smoke settled, Gohan slowly stood up.
"Come on, Harry, get up!" Gohan snarled as he helped Harry up. The famous wizard had a cut on his head and shoulder, redding his robes with blood. He let out a gasp and Gohan leaned him against a car.
"We… we couldn't even touch him!" Harry gasped as Gohan knelt next to Pan and checked her pulse.
"Thank god, she's just unconscious. That blow to the head must have knocked her out." Gohan sighed with relief. Then, he walked to Bulla's body and sighed.
"Damn… I'm sorry, Bulla. I just wasn't fast enough." Gohan sighed softly as he closed her eyes.
"Just like Cerdic." He thought as he stood up.
"Gohan, behind you!" Harry yelled. Gohan's eyes widened, and he ducked just in time to avoid the blue blade that swung over his head. He leaped forward and flipped to see…
"Arbiter." Gohan said as he looked at the large Elite.
"Not now, damit!" he thought while looking at Pan's unconscious form and Bulla's body. At this point, Pan was unconscious, Bulla was dead, Harry was too injured to fight, and all the other Z Fighters were ether not around or fighting elsewhere in the city. He was the only one left to fight the Arbiter.
"We don't need to fight, Arbiter! What do you want?" Gohan yelled as he lowered his wand and hands. The Arbiter stood in front of him, and stared at him for a moment, before lowering his sword.
"I seek the sacred orb, saiyan. This device says that it is here." The Arbiter said as the device in his other hand beeped.
"The dragon radar." Gohan said softly.
"Where is it, saiyan?" The Arbiter snarled. Gohan took a deep breath, and then reached into his armor, pulling out
"The 4 star ball!" Harry gasped at the orb in Gohan's hand.
"You mean he had it the whole time!" Supreme Kai gaped.
"You mean that's a Dragonball? No! I told the namekians not to meddle with things like that!" Old Kai yelled with rage.
"Gohan, no! Don't give it to him!" Harry yelled.
"Quiet!" Gohan yelled at his friend, before slowly turning back towards the Arbiter.
"Here, take it! It's no good to you anyway, without all seven!" Gohan said as he placed the dragonball on the ground and backed up slowly. Looking at him, the Arbiter slowly walked forward and picked up the ball.
"At last, the final sacred orb." The Arbiter said softly as he looked at the ball.
"You have no idea what you're trying to unlock, Arbiter! If Riddle get all seven balls together and gets immortality, we're all doomed! Don't you get it?" Gohan yelled at the Arbiter, who simply snarled at him.
"Don't you know what happens to people who work for Riddle and Cell! Look at Pan! Look at my son, Lord Tyranus! That's what happens when they decide when they don't need you!" Gohan yelled. The Arbiter simply looked at him.
"Let me tell you a tale, Arbiter. Once, my race, the saiyans, worked for a being called Frieza. For years, they did everything Frieza told them to, no matter how terrible it was. One day, Frieza feared that the saiyans would be come too powerful and would overthrow him. So, he destroyed the saiyans and their planet, leaving only a few survivors. Don't you see? The same thing that happened to my race will happen to yours, Arbiter!" Gohan yelled. Suddenly, the 4 star ball flew out of the Arbiter's hand! They whirled to see the ball fly into a large hammer, held be none other than Tartarus. And he wasn't alone. He had at least five other Brutes with him, and they were all heavily armed.
"Oh come on!" Gohan groaned mentally.
"Well done, Arbiter, well done! Not only did you find the sacred orb, you killed a rebel and defeated the Witch in battle, as well as Harry Potter himself! Well done indeed! Emperor Cell and Lady Morgana will be pleased." Tartarus chuckled.
"The sacred orb is my responsibility." The Arbiter snarled.
"Was your responsibility. Now it is mine." Tartarus snarled. Gohan noticed that three brutes were approaching them, one on each side.
"You should have listened to the saiyan's tale, Arbiter. Because the same bloody fate awaits you and the rest of your race, and I, Tartarus, Chieftan of the brutes will send both of you there!" Tartarus snarled as he drew his hammer.
"Aw crap!" Gohan snarled as he and the Arbiter found themselves back to back.
"When Emperor Cell and Lady Morgana learn of this… they will have your head!" The Arbiter spat as he activated his energy sword.
"When they learn of it? Fool… they ordered me to do it." Tartarus chuckled as the other Brutes drew their weapons. Then, he glanced at another Brute behind him.
"You! Destroy these fools while we Take Potter and return to the ship!" Tartarus yelled at the Brute behind him, nodding and walking over to Harry with two Brutes, one on each side, yanking him up with a yell.
"Damn it! Harry, hang on!" Gohan cursed as he watched the Brutes drag Harry down the street, too weak to fight back.
"I'd hat to say it, but an "I told you so" may suffice here." Gohan whispered as the Brutes got closer.
"It appears that you were correct, saiyan." The Arbiter said.
"It looks like the only way out of this is to work together. But I need to know now, are you with us?" Gohan whispered to the Arbiter. For a moment, the Arbiter didn't say anything.
"Very well. We are allies, for now." The Arbiter said.
"Good, now!" Then, Gohan fired a ki blast straight at the Brute in front of him, sending it flyng. At the same time, the Arbiter swung his blade out, catching the Brute in front of him by surprise, sending it to the ground dead. Gohan whipped his wand out and fired a killing curse at the Brute in front of him, sending it to the ground, dead instantly. Then, they turned to see the final Brute looking at them. He roared as he waved his hammer over his head and charged forward, making both warriors tense. But, before they could do anything…
BAM! A bullet flew through the Brute's head, causing it to crash to the ground, dead instantly. A small puddle of blood grew from the Brute's head.
"What the?" Gohan gaped as he and the Arbiter looked around. Then, a large thump made them turn to see…
"Tyranus!" They hissed at the same time at the sight of the cyborg saiyan, who was holding a sniper rifle with a smoking end.
"Hey, the way I see it, we're all on the same side here. We all want the same people dead, well… most of the same people, anyway. Besides, at this point, you need every guy you can, especially since you lost that Granger friend of yours." Tyranus frowned.
"What did you just say?" Gohan said with disbelief and shock in his voice.
"Look, she was fighting Morgana, Karsecs shot her with a sniper rifle, then I shot Morgana with my sniper, then Karsecs and I fought, and he ended up with a knife in his head. So… two for the price of one. And I'll admit this… she was a hell of a duelist. Might've beaten Morgana too, if she hadn't bitten the bullet." Tyranus said. Gohan didn't sense any lie from his son. He knew, with a sick feeling in his stomach, that the cyborg was telling the truth. He gritted his teeth with rage. He had lost track of Hermione's ki signature, but he thought that that had been due to the battle and preoccupation.
"RAHHHH! NO! NO! NO!" he screamed with rage as he punched a building, causing it to collapse in a rush of dust. Now Ron and Hermione were both gone!
"Not the time to start crying, dad. And I thought you were tough…" Tyranus muttered.
"Give me one reason not to rip you apart!" Gohan spat.
"Hey, aren't you supposed to be saving Potter?" Tyranus asked. Just as he said that, a rumbling made them look up to see an Imperial dropship soar over their heads.
"No! If they get Harry, we lose everything!" Gohan yelled with rage as he rushed over to Pan and rolled her over. Then, he pointed her wand at her face.
"AGUAMENTI!" Gohan yelled, sending a stream of water into his daughter's face. Her eyes snapped open, and she sat up with shock.
"Wha… dad?" she asked with shock.
"Thank Christ! You're alive!" Gohan sighed with relief as he gave Pan a hug.
"Dad? What happened? Where's Harry? What happened to Ce…" Pan trailed off when she saw the Arbiter and Tartarus. Instantly, she threw off Gohan and pulled out a gun and wand as she charged towards the two, shoving the gun under the Arbiter's head and the wand at Tyranus's head.
"Pan, wait! They're with us!" Gohan yelled.
"WHAT?" Pan glared at Gohan before looking back at the large Elite and her brother.
"Come on, Panny!" Tyranus laughed. Pan gritted her teeth.
"Pan, they were betrayed too. Tratarus tried to kill me and the Arbiter. He's planning to wipe out the entire Shanghelli race, and he said that Morgana and Cell ordered him to! Not only that, Tartarus took Harry. We need to save him before Riddle can kill him!" Gohan placed his hand on Pan's shoulder. Pan bit her lip as she looked at the Arbiter and Tyranus, then slowly lowered her weapons.
"Were it so easy." The Arbiter said in Pan's face, before turning away and waling forward.
"We must go, the Brutes have our scent." The Arbiter said.
"Hah! Then, they must love the scent of an assbeating!" Tyranus laughed.
"I'm keeping an eye on those bastards." Pan snarled.
"Okay. We have to drive back the British, warn the rest of the Elites about Tartarus and Morgana's treachery, and rescue Harry before he's captured. First, we've got to figure out how to prove that Morgana's planning a betrayal." Gohan muttered.
"Hmph. Based on what I heard, he basically said everything we need in his little speech. Too bad you didn't record it. Then, all you'd have to play it on a TV station, and they'd all see it." Tyranus said.
"Perfect, son! Good thing I have this!" Gohan grinned as he pulled out a tape recorder.
"Why did you have that?" Pan gaped at him.
"I had a feeling. That takes care of audio. And as for the picture…" Gohan turned to look down the street intersection.
"Yes!" Gohan leaped onto the traffic light and stared at the traffic light.
"Yes! Thank dende! It's still working!" Then, Gohan smashed his hand in, and pulled out the tape.
"Perfect." Gohan smirked as he landed next to the others and slid the tape into his armor.
"Okay. From this point forward… shit gets serious." Gohan snarled as he picked up a fallen shotgun and pumped it.
Intense, right? Can Harry be saved? Can they stop the genocide of the Elites? What else lies ahead? Review!
