Ch 3 Discoveries
The group headed towards the fjord, and towards the Yamato. Kodai grabbed his phone, and called the Yamato.
"Yamato actual." Was heard.
"Shima. I'm bringing two extra people onboard. Don't shoot them. We've a lot to talk about. Stay at condition 2. I have a feeling we'll soon be at condition 1." Kodai said.
The two wizard knew that Yamato was a big warship, but to be this close to it, was breath-taking.
"Holy crap." Albus said.
"Yep. Weighs 62000 tons of pure destruction. 265 meters long, 34 meters wide. Top speed of 33 knots. Hundreds of 20mm point defense lasers, 5 triple barrel shock cannons, dozens of 50mm pulse laser turrets, 28 torpedo tubes, 10 ICBM sites, and the mother of all weapons on the ship, the wave motion gun." Kodai said, as he led the group on the deck of the Yamato."
"Can you explain some of that, like an ICBM?" Minerva asked.
"You don't know your own weapons?" Kodai asked in disbelief.
"We don't associate with muggles often, so we don't much about their terminology." Albus said.
"ICBM is an intercontinental ballistic missile. Usually is armed with a nuclear warhead. If you don't know what that is, then what the hell have you been doing since the second world war?" Kodai asked.
"What else were you going to show us?" Albus asked.
"My ship has been experiencing power fluctuations since we got here. That's why I asked if your castle has an EMP." Kodai said, as he turned on the radar. It flickered on and off for a few minutes, then shut down completely.
"You want us to help you. We can't even keep the ship running for a few minutes. We're not gonna last long in a fight." Kodai said.
Minerva pulled out her wand and stood in the middle of the main bridge. Waving her want quick and curtly, she uttered a phrase, and the radar lit up again. Along with the other consoles.
"Sir, fire control's online. We have full control of weapons." One person said.
"Wave motion engine's online, but the warp drive is useless." Another said.
"Get this ship moving into the bay. Lets practice our weapons." Kodai ordered.
The Yamato sailed out of the fjord, and into the bay. Pointing their guns in one direction, away from the school that is, they fired all the starboard guns as one.
The noise was deafening. Kodai smiled, as he saw the shells crash into the water, showing the range of the Yamato's guns.
"Yep. Voldemort won't know what hit him." Kodai said, as the ship headed back to the fjord.
"What else do you have on this ship?" Minerva asked.
Kodai's smile grew. They were in for a surprise.
Entering the armory, Kodai grabbed a shotgun and several shells.
"We got enough weapons here to fight a small war. I suggest you have your students know how to operate them." Kodai said.
"We don't use muggle weapons." Albus said.
"Lets say your wand gets destroyed, and you can't get another one. Some weapons here, will come in handy." Kodai said.
Kodai gave one more request to Albus and Minerva.
"I need a layout of the entire school. I may have to bug the entire school."
"We're gonna be really busy this year." Minerva said.
"I'll handle the bugging. I got cloaking suits ready to use. I just need a layout of the school." Kodai said.
"I'll get that. I have to warn you, Kodai. A new teacher is her, Dolores Umbridge. I'm very suspicious of her. I think she's a spy for Fudge." Minerva said.
"Your ministry of magic, has a spy in your school. It's just like the KGB. Just like the Soviet Union. Wonderful. Let me guess. Since fudge refuses to accept that Voldemort is back, he's gonna try and thwart your efforts to prepare." Kodai said.
"High probability of that." Albus said.
"You know, Stalin once said 'man is the problem. Get rid of the man, get rid of the problem'. We may have to take care of Umbridge, before it gets out of hand." Kodai said.
"Killing her won't solve anything." Albus said.
"But it will show something. Your government is somewhat of a tyrannical government right now. They have a spy in your school. Why should they? And fudge isn't accepting evidence of Voldemort's return, is he not? One last food for thought. Tyrants always fear those they oppress. Because one day, someone will snap, and fight back. Mark my words. It has happened in the past, it happens in the future, and it will happen right now." Kodai said.
"I'll get you the maps of the school." Minerva said.
"Okay. Where can we meet?" Kodai asked.
"I'll send them to you." Minerva replied.
Albus and Minerva headed back into the castle, and talked about their recent discoveries.
"Albus, they could turn the tide. We could win against he-who-must-not-be-named." Minerva said.
"His name is Voldemort. I suggest you speak it." Albus said.
"Should we tell the students?" Minerva asked.
"Not now. Not until the moment is right." Albus said.
They failed to notice that Umbridge was watching them. She also saw the Yamato's exhibition of her firepower.
"Dumbledore, you wouldn't want the ministry to get word of this. That you're raising an army, and your own private military to fight. But who would you fight?" Umbridge said to herself, as she took down notes.
Much later, Harry was in his defence against the dark arts class, though it wasn't going well. And Kodai was in the room, albeit cloaked and watching a situation unfold.
"He was there. I fought him!" Harry yelled.
"It's a lie. Voldemort is not coming back." Umbridge said.
Kodai only looked in disgust. He left the room, as he heard that Harry had gotten detention. He quickly bugged the room, along with the office. He headed to McGonagall's office and bugged that room as well. Just then, the door opened.
"Shit." He muttered. He crouched in a corner, and watched Harry and McGonagall discuss the detention with Umbridge.
As harry left, Kodai saw that Minerva was worried.
"This will get ugly, so fast." She muttered.
"You're right about that." Kodai said.
