"He's dead?" Fred gaped in shock. Gohan frowned.

"No, but his ki's really low. I think he's unconscious." Gohan frowned. Then, the castle shook once more, causing dust to fall around them.

"Come on, help me!" Kiara gasped as she grabbed Percy's feet. Harry nodded as they slowly placed carried Percy down the hall.

"Here, quick!" Fred pulled open a closet. Harry and Kiara pushed Percy inside, covered him, and closed the door.

"He'll be alright." Gohan laughed nervously.

"Man… I've always wanted to do that." George grinned.

"Another time, it would've been funny." Fred sighed as the castle rumbled again. Then, yells made them whirl to see six Death Eaters race towards them.

"No, you're no match for them! Move!" Kiara yelled as she pulled Fred with her. They rounded around the next hall to see…

"Get down!" Johnson yelled, causing the 4 wizards to drop onto the ground as the Death Eaters ran around the corner. Before they could counter, Johnson and his small team fired off Killing Curses. When the dust faded, the Death Eaters were lying on the ground, dead.

"Thanks, Johnson." Harry smirked as he sat up. The man smirked.

"Johnson, where's Gohan?" Harry asked.

"In the courtyard, last I heard." Then, Johnson's eyes widened as he pulled out his hand pistol and fired, catching the Death Eater that raced around the corridor in the chest, sending him back against the wall.

"Come on!" he roared as he charged forward,

"You guys alright?" You should get Mr. Weasley out of here." The twins nodded.

"You got it, mate. Come on dad." The twins led a shaky Mr. Weasley away.

"Pan's right, we need to focus on getting the snake!" Harry frowned.

"Huh? Why do you want to kill his snake?" Kiara frowned.

"I'll explain it later. But, we need to get to him!" Harry snarled.

"RAH!" Gohan roared as he kicked a Death Eater in the chest, sending him flying.

"Damn it all!" Bardock cursed as he fired a blue ki blast.

"Get inside! There are too many!" McGonagall yelled as she deflected several spells.

"Professor, lock the doors behind us, we'll hold them off!" Gohan yelled as he stabbed a Death Eater in the chest.

"I cannot allow you to do that, Mr. Son! That is suicide!" McGonagall said as the remaining students ran into the castle, leaving just the four of them. Gohan took a deep breath and looked at Bardock, who frowned as he looked at Gohan. Then, a look of understanding went over his face.

"Take care of them, will you? Especially Victoria." Gohan said softly.

"I will." Bardock smirked, before grabbing McGonagall's arm.

"What are you doing?" McGonagall screamed as Bardock dragged her into the castle.

"Give em hell, kid." Bardock smirked as the doors closed in front of him.

"So… this is my end." Gohan said softly as he turned to look at the dozens of dark soldiers coming over the hills towards them.

"Aw nuts." Gohan sighed.

"Ah! So, this is your final stand, boy? Excellent!" Cell roared with delight. A giant roared as he charged towards Gohan, holding a goal from the Quidditch Pitch. Gohan leaped as the giant swung down, landing on top of the goal and charged up towards the head of the giant, never breaking stride. He pulled out Malfoy's blade and plunged it into the giant's neck to the hilt. The giant stood still for a moment… and then collapsed onto the ground. Gohan leaped off and landed neatly on the ground. Gohan whirled towards the falled post, and slammed his foot down, smashing off a section of it. Then, he picked up the broken piece and hurled it. The spear flew right through the air, and right past Voldemort's head by an inch, so close that it left a cut, and continuing until it flew into Macnair's chest, causing him to let out a short scream that got cut off quickly as he landed on the ground with a hard thump. The other Death Eaters quickly backed away in fear.

"Why are they just standing there?" Voldemort snarled as he look at Cell.

"Because, he has mastered your talent. Fear." Cell smiled

"He is just one man! Destroy him!" Voldemort roared with rage as he raised his wand.

"Avada Kedavra!" he roared, sending a green light towards Gohan. Gohan flicked his wand, sending the spell shooting into the air.

"Voldemort! I challenge you!" Gohan roared, making Cell smile.

"Kill him! Kill him!" Voldemort screamed. The dozens of Death Eaters in front of Gohan looked back on the Dark Lord, before staring back at Gohan.

"This is your last chance, boy! Kneel before us!" Cell called out. Gohan took a deep breath, and opend his eyes.

"No." Gohan made a "come and get me." motion with his hands.

"Yaaahhhh!" one Death Eater screamed as he charged towards Gohan, starting a chain reaction as all the other Death Eaters screamed and charged towards Gohan, leaping off the hill and shooting through the air. Gohan whipped his sword out, which went through the chest of the first Death Eater in front of him. He then ducked under the next Killing Curse and sliced the next Death Eater's head off with a clean swing.

"If I die, ten thousand Death Eaters will die with me!" he roared as he charged forward. He stabbed another Death Eater in the chest, followed by a Killing Curse to the next Death Eater. He leaped into the air and yelled as he smashed his fist into the ground, creating a shock wave that sent them all flying in every direction.

"He is as strong as the warriors of old." Cell frowned as Gohan plunged his sword into a Death Eater lying on the ground. He then looked up at the remaining Death Eaters in front of him.

"Who's next?" he roared as he let purple lightning dance around him. The Death Eaters stared for one second, before turning and running in complete fear.

"COWARDS!" Voldemort roared with rage.

"Emperor Cell, surely…" Morgana turned to talk to cell, but frowned in confusion. The android had vanished. Gohan smirked as he held his wand out.

"Your turn, Voldemort! I'll chop your snake's head off and shove it down your throat!" Gohan roared. Then, he frowned in confusion. His eyes widened as he whirled to see a fist slam into him, sending him flying. He slammed into the groun several feet away, and groaned as he staggered. He gaped as he linked and looked up to see Cell stride in front of him. Gohan gasped as he looked up.

"Your luck had to run out sooner or later, boy." Cell chuckled as he stomped on Gohan's leg, causing him to yell. Cell grinned as he punched Gohan in the head, causing him to groan and fall unconscious.

"Ginny…" he thought as darkness swallowed him.

"You forgot, boy, one major rule. Mind your surroundings!" Cell smirked as he lowered his fist. The retreating Death Eaters paused and turned back.

"KILL HIM!" Voldemort roared, causing the Death Eaters to raise their wands.

"No." Cell said calmly.

"WHAT?" Voldemort roared.

"I don't want him dead just yet. His spirit is great, determined, strong… I don't want him dead, I want him broken." Cell made a wicked smile as he looked down at Gohan's unconscious form.

"I disagree, my lord." Morgana said. Cell frowned as he looked at her.

"Do you now?" Cell smiled.

"Yes. You've let him live too many times. Kill him now, or it'll come back to haunt us." Cell frowned as he pondered this for several minutes. Then…

"Get the restraints!" Cell barked as he turned back towards the castle. Morgana sighed in disappointment.

"Ahhh…" Cell cackled.

"Rah! Yah!" Pan yelled as she hurled a Death Eater out the window.

"Stupify!" Harry yeled as he stunned another Death Eater.

"Move!" He whirled to see the Arbiter stab a Brute through the chest.

"Harry, look out!" Pan yelled. He whirled to see a Brute slam into him, causing him to gasp as something in him crunched. He and the Brute both flew right through the wall. Then, he felt someone grab his hand. He looked up to see Kiara holding his hand. The brute flew past him and fell to the ground with a crunch far below.

"Hang on, Harry!" she yelled. Harry gasped as she pulled him up.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"Uhhhh… mostly. I think my shoulder's dislocated." Harry said.

"Oh, I've got it." Kiara said as she knelt behind Harry and held his shoulder. Then, Harry yelled as she made a quick push, causing a crack.

"Ahhh… ahh…" he panted softly.

"You'll be fine for now in a minute, I should know, I've been doing it since I was six." She smirked.

"U ok?" Pan asked as she ran up.

"He'll be fine." Kiara smiled. Then, a look of horror went over Harry's face as he sprinted down the hallway.

"Harry, wait!" Kiara yelled as she and Pan raced after him. Harry stopped and knelt down at the edge of the hallway.

"Katie…" Harry said softly as he stared at his old friend.

"Hey… Harry…" she smiled weakly. Kiara squeaked as she rushed up, and Pan frowned. Katie looked pretty bad. The wall behind her was cracked, and her uniform was ruffled up, not to mention the red stain going down her side.

"What? This?" Katie stammered weakly as she gestured down.

"Katie, that looks bad! It looks like you sliced your side open! If you don't do something, you'll bleed out! What happened?" Kiara sputtered.

"That… big thing with the hammer slammed into me and sent me flying onto the wall. No big deal, a Bludger's worse…" Katie chuckled.

"Tartarus…" Pan said softly as she inspected Katie.

"I think you punctured a lung, and at least three ribs are broken. I've seen plenty of injuries like this in my old days. You should be fine." Pan smiled as she glanced at Harry. She walked over to him quickly.

"I have seen injuries like that before. She's got less than five minutes." Pan said softly, making Harry snarl.

"…..I'm not gonna be fine, am I? My chest feels a little numb." Katie frowned.

"Katie… I'm sorry about all this." Harry said sadly as he held her hand.

"….heh… don't be. I cheated death once. I guess you can't get lucky twice." Katie sighed sadly as she coughed blood.

"Katie… you're a good friend." Harry smiled weakly.

"Thanks… you were the best seeker we ever had. And, tell Gohan that he was the best boyfriend I ever had, not to mention a good chaser." Katie smirked before bursting into another fit of coughing.

"Sure." Harry smiled.

"Hey… we're gonna win, right?" Katie asked as she shook a little.

"We'll try." Harry smiled nervously.

"Harry… please tell my mum and dad… that… I… love…" Katie sighed before she went limp. Something vanished in her eyes, leaving nothing at all but glass orbs that stared without seeing.

"I'm sorry, old friend." Harry said softly as he closed Katies eyes.

Back to our Saiyan…

"Uhhhhhh…" Gohan groaned as he regained consciousness. He found immediately that he was unable to move his arms and legs. He whipped his head to the right to see his arm held to a steel post by glowing yellow ki restraint bonds.

"Two hundred and seven." A familiar voice said, causing Gohan's head to snap forward to see Cell sitting in a black chair with a golden goblet in his right hand, calmly watching Gohan. Gohan quickly took in his surroundings. He seemed to be in a tent, obviously charmed to be magically expanded on the inside.

"What?" Gohan frowned.

"Two hundred and seven. That's how many soldiers you killed in that little last stand of yours. Very impressive, boy, very impressive. We've come a long way since that day. You… no, we have changed." Cell smiled as he sipped from the goblet in his hand.

"True. I'm surprised that you didn't kill me. " Gohan frowned.

"It would have been… too easy. And, it would have been horrible for your brother and sisters, especially little Victoria." Cell smiled as he held up the picture of Victoria from Gohan's pocket.

"You touch her, and it will be the last thing you do!" Gohan roared.

"Do relax. I, unlike our mutual friend, do not slaughter infants." Cell chuckled.

"Yet, you slaughter children." Gohan smirked.

"Alls lost in love and war." Cell chuckled..

"That it is." Gohan frowned.

"Why do you not admit your defeat? The Ministry belongs to me. I have built an Empire that will consume this world. After today, I will begin my European Invasion. You can still kneel before me. Only Potter needs to die today. Kneel before your Emperor." Cell smiled.

"You fool. Hasn't history shown you what happens to Emperors?" Gohan smirked.

"Do tell." Cell smiled.

"Cesar got killed by his own Senate, not to mention the fate of the Roman Empire itself. Hitler's Third Reich fell apart after less than a decade. The Soviet Union fell after eighty years. The Greeks did no better. Grindewald fell by Dumbledore's hand. Your Empire is falling apart before it began." Gohan smirked.

"Well said, boy. I'll let you watch as Potter dies, followed by everyone else." Cell chuckled as he stood up and headed for the exit. Gohan frowned to himself, before smirking.

"So, Harry's the only reason that you keep Riddle around, huh?" Gohan smirked, causing Cell to pause.

"That's what I thought. And… what if one of the idiots you call soldiers beats Riddle to it?" Gohan smirked.

"What the devil are you talking about?" Cell frowned.

"Come on, Cell. Less than half an hour ago, someone in a tank almost blew Harry to pieces, directly defying your orders. They surely won't be the last." Gohan smirked. Cell actually seemed to be listening.

"Hmmmmm… you actually have a point. Foolishness and stupidity run free." Cell frowned.

"Besides, it doesn't look good if an Emperor kills his own people, Cell. Your little battle is going to do far more harm than good." Gohan smirked.

"You have a better idea?" Cell smirked with curiosity.

"Sure. Call off your men till nightfall, let the defenders retrieve their dead with honor. Allow Harry to come alone to face Riddle. If he does, then we let them duke it out in single combat. If Harry comes, Hogwarts is saved. If its not…" Gohan frowned.

"Hogwarts burns to the ground…" Cell frowned a minute, before bursting into laughter.

"Very well, boy, we'll play it your way! Let's see if your praise in Potter is well placed!" Cell smirked as he strode out of the tent.

"God forgive me…" Gohan said softly.

"Rest well, Katie." Harry said softly as he stood up. Then, a cold feeling seemed to creep over him, causing Harry to gasp. And from the looks on Pan and Kiara's faces, they felt it too.

"You have all fought with honor and distinction, but, in vain. Over half your forces are dead. I told you already that I did not want this conflict. It will not take long for my reinforcements to arrive. But, I still have generosity to give. Therefore, I now order my forces to retreat. Dispose of your dead with dignity. Harry Potter, I now speak specifically to you." Cell paused to let his words sink in.

"Today, both you and the saiyan have thrust others in front of you. At least Gohan had to honor to face mo one on one. You are even worse. Come out to the Forbidden Forest, or what's left of it, to face the Dark Lord. Do this, and my men will withdraw. If you run once more, I will have Hogwarts bombed into oblivion, and every last man, woman, and child destroyed in ways that will make death seem welcome!" Cell chuckled. Harry frowned as he looked back at the two female saiyans, who were looking back at him.

"You have until nightfall, Potter. I hope that you have some shred of dignity. Enough is enough. This ends now." Cell's voice echoed before fading out. Kiara and Pan stared at Harry, who stared back at them.

BAM! Morbius snarled as he slammed Colin Creevy to the ground, smirking at the sound of the boy's ribs breaking.

"Awww… and just when I was having fun." He chuckled as Colin gasped for breath. Then, he looked down with a smiled as his hand wrapped around Colin's throat. Colin gasped as Morbius lifted him up.

"Say hello to Diggory for me." Morbius chuckled as he squeezed his hand.

CRACK! Colin's neck snapped instantly, going limp after one final jerk. Morbius chuckled as he grabbed Colin's wand with his other hand, before he tossed Colin's limp form next to Justin-Finch Fletchley's and Michael Corner's limp bodies. He whirled as his fist slammed into the wall, smashing apart and leaving a large hole. He chuckled as he leaped out the hole.

"Come on, we just can't leave her here." Harry said as he hooked his arms under Katie's shoulders, while Kiara nodded and lifted Katie's legs.

"Everyone's going to the Great Hall to regroup." Pan said as she walked alongside them.

"Yeah, come on." Harry said as they slowly walked down a staircase, which was showered with rubble. It felt weird to carry a dead body, just like Cedric all over again.

"You don't think that Gohan's…" Kiara trailed off nervously.

"No, Cell won't make it that easy. I can definitely tell you that." Harry answered, getting silence in response from Kiara and Pan. None of them said a single word for the rest of the small journey until they reached the entrance to the Great Hall, where Madame Pompry quickly rushed up.

"Another one?" she asked sadly. The small trio nodded. She let out a soft gasp when she saw who it was.

"Poor Miss Bell… come, we'll get another stretcher." Madame Pompry said as she motioned two attendants, who rushed up with a stretcher. Pan, Harry, and Pan slowly put Katie on the stretcher.

"We've got her." Pan said, getting nods from the nurses as Pan and Kiara lifted the stretcher. Soft sobs made Harry turn to see Angelica and Alicia crying as they hugged each other and watched the two saiyans carry Katie's body away, while Oliver watched with an emotionless face, despite the tears going down his face. Rays of soft light were going through the cracked walls and windows, bathing the hall in a dim light. The rays seemed to be focused on the dead. If you were religious, you might think that it was God's hand, escorting the dead to the afterlife.

"Did she say anything?" Harry turned to see McGonagall behind them. Harry could have sworn that she looked much older now than she had a few hours ago.

"To tell her parents that she loved them." Harry said. McGonagall gave a small nod before moving away. Now left alone, Harry started looking around and seeing the depths of grief. Padma Patil was clutching Professor Trelawney and sobbing hysterically next to a stretcher that Harry assumed carried her twin sister's body, which was covered and had a small red stain on it. Slughorn was tending to a bad cut on Filch's arm. Both men gave a small nod to Harry as he passed.

"GAHHH! OH GOD!" Dean's voice screamed, causing Harry to whirl to see his old friend on a table while Johnson, Seamus, and Neville head him down. Dean's lower half was concealed by a white curtain.

"Hold him down! Hold him down!" Lieutenant Walker yelled as he pulled out several metal instruments, putting his wand to the side.

"Can't you make it less painful?" Seamus roared at Walker as he worked on a large gash in Dean's leg.

"We're out of anesthetic! Keep him still or I'll have to amputate!" Walker yelled as a bit of red splattered onto the screen, getting a loud wail from Dean. Harry let out a soft gasp as he walked past of the Z Fighters were dead, but some of them were getting injuries treated. Yamcha had several slashes on his chest, Tien had a cut on his arm, Krillin had small tentacles on his face (to the monk's great displeasure.), and Future Trunks seemed to have a broken arm. Goku and Vegeta were looking around silently, not saying a word. Goten and Trunks were at their feet, looking around with a bit of fear and sadness on their small faces. He stopped as he looked at the bodies of Michael, Justin, and Colin. Harry felt a small pang. Colin must have sneaked back into the school, like other students. He was small in death. Harry turned to see Lupin and Tonks getting tended to be medics. Lupin as his shirt off, revealing several nasty looking gashes on his chest. Tonks had a nasty scar going across her left cheek.

"You guys look awful." Harry said, causing the both of them to look up.

"Bellatrix. I barely got away." Tonks winched as a medic dabbed at the cut. Harry nodded and slowly walked away. He turned to see Ms. Wealsey standing next to a confused Mr. Weasley, who was getting tended to by the medics, while the other weasleys were standing around Percy's unmoving form. Ginny saw Harry and walked over with red eyes.

"Dad's really off, doesn't respond well to anything anyone says, and Percy's in a coma. They don't know if he'll wake up." Ginny sniffed softly.

"Where's Gohan?" Ginny sniffed.

"No one's seen him. McGonagall said that he locked the door behind him, and Rick said that he was swarmed…" Ginny sniffed softly as she walked off.

"It's not your fault, Harry." Harry whirled to see Piccolo standing behind him. Harry sprinted past the Namekian and out the door. He wasn't sure where he was going as he sprinted through the hallways, until he found himself running up to the gargoyle guarding the Headmaster's Office.

"Password?" The gargoyle asked.

"Dumbledore!" Harry yelled, the person who he wanted to see the most. To his surprise, the staircase opened up, and he sprinted up it. He raced into the Headmaster's office. All the portraits were deserted, and the office had a feeling of silence in it. Harry yanked his hand into his pocket and groped around until he yanked out the vial that Gohan had given him. It had seemed so long ago. Was he alive or dead? Was he another victim of Cell's cruel game? He shouldn't have come here. Harry rushed to the pensive in the far side of the room. He felt like he needed to escape, to wander in someone elses's memories… even if they were Snape's. He ripped the cover off the vial and poured the memories into the Pensive. Then, without hesitating, he plunged his head in.

Here we go, Snape's memories. I wonder what we'll find in there. Will Gohan get out of this new mess? Is there any hope left? Review!
