Two sayains stood before the wrath of Majinn Buu. One of them could die, and the other was already dead, as marked by the ring of light above his head. Before them stood a huge red orb of demonic energy, capable of obliterating a planet many times larger than the on they were currently on. The creature responsible for the orb stood below the mass of power, holding it in his hands. Below the entire scene lay the only spawn of the two warriors, as well as their Namekian ally, all of them unconscious. Nearby, another Namekian and a human man stood, both watching in horror.

"Vegeta, you get Hercule and Dende. I'll get the boys. Instant Transmission to Supreme Kai's."

And they both flew in opposite directions, each completing their seperate part of the task, escaping just as the planet was obliterated.

It was on Supreme Kai's planet that everyone regrouped. They formed a simple enough plan. Dende would stay on the sidelines to heal while Gotenks, Piccolo, Goku, and Vegeta fought the horrible creature, and it indeed was so as the fight carried on the Supreme Kai's planet.

A pit fell in the Fusion boy's stomach. His thirty minutes were up.

Poof!

The two boys separated and retreated from the scene. Against Buu, they weren't much without fusion.

This left Goku and Vegeta as the only fighters remaining.

The super sayains flew towards the pink demon. Buu responded by blasting Vegeta witha red beam, which stopped his attack. He simply stopped flying, falling on thw ground lying motionless. Goku couldn't look back. If he did Buu would take the opening. He flew forwards towards the creature, now with more speed. Buu braced himself for an attack, but Goku flashed away right in front of hus face. He look behind himself, only to get a sharp pain in the face, rocketing of into a nearby lake.

Goku now tended to Vegeta. He flew him over to the Dragon Clan Namekian to be healed. Goku, Piccolo, the Good Buu, and the boys charged towards Buu. They never made it to him. With a howling scream, they were all pushed a mile away. Buu's hands now sparked red. He was going to destroy them all.

POP POP POP

The shots fired into Buu's chest. Buu looked back and saw a man with an afro and a purple Gi. It was Hercule Satan. The man had shot the beast three times, but to no avail.

The beast appeared right in front Hercule. Previously, the beast had the same chance to kill Hercule, but did not take it, as his kind hearted counterpart was within him, influencing his actions, but now the beast was free. With one punch, the pink demon left a huge hole in the hero's chest. In his final moments, Hercule gave the demonic pink blob a smile.

"KA-ME..."

Dropping the corpse of Hercule Satan, Buu turned to see all of his opponents charging their trademark energy beams. Goku's children joined him in a Kamehameha, while Trunks and Vegeta charged a Final Flash. Piccolo charged a Makankosappo.

"HA-ME..."

Trunks could feel it. Buu's power was too great. So could Goten.

"HA-ME..."

The two boys looked at each other and nodded. They would add somethjng else to their blast. Something that they didn't understand themselves. Somthing they couldn't truly control.

"HA-ME..."

"Final..." Vegeta and Trunks began

"HA!"

"FLASH!"

"Makankosappo!"

Two blue beams erupted from the palms of Gohan and Goku. A yellow, spiraling beam came out of Piccolo's fingers while a white beam came from Vegeta.

Trunks' Final Flash was different from his father's. It was slightly stronger and it glowed a bright reddish orange that made it seem on fire. The same contrast could be made between Goten's Kamehameha and his brother and father's. His was yellow, sparking with electricity.

Buu fired a counter beam, and as all the energy collided, it formed a huge sphere between the opposing sides, which grew larger and larger until it was nothing but white light. It exploded and consumed everything. As it speed to consume all the participants in the battle, Trunks flew towards Goten, and the two combined their energy to shield themselves from the blast.


Everything was white. Trubks and Goten could only see each other. Everything else was white. A white noise pierced their ears. They could fell no sensation.

Slowly the void faded away. They felt the heat of the scorched ground. The light faded' and they saw the obliterated battle field beneath the blue sky. The power signatures from the battle were weak.

Goten wasn't as strong as Trunks. He survived the blast, but he was hurt and unconscious. Trunks carried him on his back. He was blinded by smoke, and let the nearby energy signatures guide him. He kept going until he found a saddening scene. He saw Dende, the Good Buu, Piccolo, and Gohan. All of them were alive, and before them stood Vegeta, who Trunks knew to be already dead, evident by the Halo above his head. His back faced the group.

"What happened?" Trunks asked.

"We won," Piccolo replied.

Trunks then asked the question nobody wanted to ask.

"And Goku?"

Vegeta turned to the group, holding out his arm. In his fist, Trunks recognized a blue sash.

"But its okay, right? The Namekian Dragon Balls can revive him."

Dende shook his head.

"During the battle, I used telepathy to contact Namek. Buu was smart enough to kill the Namekian Grand Elder. The defacto Elder is Novarik, a man I know personally. He was my teacher, and his quite hearted powerful, but we Namekians don't keep dragon models, and Novarik's power is limited. By the time the new dragon balls are powerful enough to bring back a soul with as much energy as Goku', the two year limit since his death will have passed, and since Goku was revived with the Earth dragon balls before I changed them, they can't bring him back again."

"Damnit," thought Trunks, "Goten's going to hate this."

Dende then turned to Trunks

"The same goes for Vegeta, which means..."

Dende didn't need to continue.

Vegeta's Halo glowed bright.

"It's time for me to go, Trunks."

Trunks stepped forward.

"Trunks. I remeber when I knocked you out to stop Buu. Goten nearly screamed my head off. He was ready to kill me. You'll want to hold onto a friend like him."

Trunks looked towards the boy on his back.

"I also saw what you did back there. The Final Flash is an attack passed down by the Sayain Royal family, and it is customary for each heir to put their own spin on it. I combined it with my Galick Gun, but you did much better by combining it with your Burning soul. I'm proud. You, Gohan, and Gotwn are the next generation of Earthen defenders. Everything done up to this point has lead to you."

Vegeta's form faded, but his Halo remained. It turned into a light, and shot across the horizon.

"Goodbye my son," was Vegeta's final words.

"Goodbye," Trunks said in return.

Trunks' body ached. He was tired. He was angry and sad, But, more than anything, he was nervous.
