Chapter Seven

Pink Blob? The Hell!?

Gohan stared and stared at the pink blob. "I was revived and went through hell to help bring back a blob?" Gohan snarled as he flew over towards a stunned Babidi, who was also staring at the blob along with Dabura. "You have wasted my time! All to bring back a blob!" Gohan snarled as he glared at the little wizard.

"Ah, well, to tell the truth, the only one whoever saw Majin Buu would be that dastardly Kai over there." Babidi said as he turned and pointed at the purple skinned god, knowing that if the Kai reacted to the pink blob, then it would definitely be Majin Buu. "Look at his face! He's terrified!" Babidi yelled out in excitement as he jumped up and down in triumph.

Gohan felt his eye twitch in irritation, but otherwise he just crossed his arms and growled low in his throat, waiting for something else to happen. It seemed Babidi seemed to know what to do, if only a little bit. "Oh, Buu! Buu! Look here, I'm the son of your creator, I'm the one who released you from that ball!" Babidi said as he tried to get the pink blob's attention.

Buu stared at him for several seconds before turning and looking away from him, seemingly to stretch and ignore his so called master. Babidi blanched at this act of defiance and growled low in his throat as he tried to get Buu to look at him. "Hey now, show some respect here! I'm the one who released you from your prison! At least look at me!" Babidi yelled in anger.

Gohan watched this with raised eyebrows while Dabura looked on in anger, wondering if this was really happening. It was at this point that Buu finally giggled slightly before whipping around towards Babidi and makes a wacky face, tongue stuck out, eyes wide, and his hands near his hand wiggling his fingers inside of his gloves. Babidi yelled in surprise as he fell back onto his butt, wondering if Buu was absolutely serious about this.

Gohan was watching from his spot, his lips twitching and his eyes watering as he tried to hold it in, he really did try, but in the end he was on the ground rolling in laughter as Babidi quickly stood back up. "Shut up brat! That thing just disrespected our master!" Dabura shouted at the child.

Gohan only shook his head, laughing too hard to actually say anything towards the master comment. Dabura snarled before straightening again and staring at the pink blob with a smirk. "Well, either way, it seems that this Majin Buu is only a simple minded child." Gohan shook his head as he stood up and took a few deep breaths to calm down more.

"I disagree; I think this guy is hilarious!" Gohan said as he crossed his arms over his chest again and then looked at Dabura with a narrowed gaze and a smirk. "Besides, that simpleton will be able to defeat you with one punch if he really wanted to." Gohan said.

Dabura frowned and shook his head, "I highly doubt that. I'm the demon king and he's nothing more than a blob of pink goo."

Gohan smirk widened as he nodded his head towards something near Dabura. "Why don't you tell him that to his face then?"

Dabura blinked as he turned to where Gohan was nodding at and yelled in pain as a yellow gloved fist slammed into his face, power radiating in it as it damaged his eyes and nose. "Gah!" Dabura yelled in pain as he backed away from Buu, holding his eyes as he began to feel for the pink blob.

Babidi was ecstatic at the display of power from his creature and flew over towards Gohan to watch the debacle with the boy. "That's it Buu! Show me your true power!" He yelled excitedly while Gohan watched with calculating eyes and a frown on his face.

Dabura gulped in fear as he felt Buu move towards him, unsure of what the blob would do next. Gohan stopped laughing quickly as he felt the power that poured into Buu's fist, but he did not move to stop the blob as he punched Dabura in the stomach this time, sending the king flying into rocks. "That energy is enough to destroy a normal human being." Gohan announced, causing Babidi to jump up and down in excitement. "I'm sure that if Buu was to really release all of his energy, well, then he could destroy the Earth." Sweat fell down the side of Gohan's face as he thought about that, wondering what he should do now.

"Yes, finally I can get my revenge on that pesky Kai!" Babidi said as he turned towards said Kai now, Goku still standing next to the powerful being. "Even if he has help, Buu will be able to take anyone on!" Gohan just sighed and rolled his eyes, wondering why he had been brought back for this.

"Whatever, if we're going to do this, get started then." He said instead of giving into the urge of hitting the little wizard. With that Gohan walked over to Buu and stood in front of the pink blob, eyes hard as he met the other's eyes.

Buu stared at the little Saiyan, confused on what he wanted. "Buu." Buu said as he pointed to himself and Gohan nodded at him. Buu pointed at Gohan and waited for the other to speak.

Gohan seemed to pick up on the silent enquiry and smirked at the other. "Gohan." The blonde boy said as he held out his hand towards the pink blob.

Buu stared at the hand, confused as he put his hand up to his chin, a finger resting as he thought about what to do next. "Friend?" He finally asked as he reached towards the other's hand.

Gohan nodded his head at the other. "Friend and Ally." He announced as he gripped the yellow gloved hand in his. "We fight together." He said as he looked towards the two figures in the distance that was watching them in fear. "Those two over there." Gohan said as he pointed towards his father and the Kai, "Those are our opponents." Gohan smirked as Buu smiled.

"Friend." Buu said as he turned towards Goku and the Kai as well. "Fight with me?" Buu asked as he glanced at Gohan, his purple cape billowing behind him as he waited for an answer.

Gohan smirk widened as he nodded his head and turned towards the other two. "I shall, I call the one in orange!" Gohan called out childishly as he dashed off, leaving Buu looking astonished behind him.

"No fair! Buu want to fight strongest!" Buu yelled out just as childishly as he took off after Gohan, leaving Babidi behind in astonishment.

Babidi blinked as the dust settled, leaving him wondering what had just happened. "Uh." He uttered as he watched his two minions set about into battle. "I have no idea what had just happened."

Gohan and Buu meanwhile came upon the two heroes, both grinning and smiling like a maniac. Goku gulped as Gohan appeared in front of him, arms crossed over his chest as he looked at his father and Buu stopped in front of the Kai with his own arms crossed. "Remember Goku, Buu is the stronger of the two, we must take him out before we do anything else." Kai said as he gulped; sweat rolling down the side of his face as he looked at his old nemesis.

Goku nodded his head and turned away from Gohan and shot at the pink blob, ready to fight him to full power. He hadn't expected to be blindsided though as a foot slammed into his side, sending him flying sideways into a rocky cliff. "Don't think just because you turn your back on me that I'll just let you get away!" Gohan growled as he flew towards his father.

Shin watched in surprise as Gohan flew towards his father, intent on hurting the man, but he soon turned back towards his own opponent as Buu started to approach him. "Now Buu, do you remember me?" Kai asked shakily, hoping maybe that his old master would show through.

Buu's eyes suddenly opened and he smiled maliciously as he kicked the Kai in the side, sending him flying. Shin screamed in pain as he was sent flying, especially when Buu appeared below him and sent him flying into the air.

Shin quickly regained his balance as Buu reappeared in front of him again and he quickly used his telekinesis power to try and destroy any organs or brain that Buu had. Buu floated in the air completely still for several seconds before that malicious look returned to his face and he clapped his hands, the Kai's head right in the middle of his hands.

Shin gasped in pain as his head exploded in pain and before he could do anything else he was kicked in the head and towards the ground, Buu right behind next to him as he was about to slam into the ground. The Kai quickly gathered energy and sent out another mind attack that slammed Buu away from him and enabled him to stop his impact with the ground. Kai growled as he looked around, wondering where the pink blob had disappeared, his mind racing with ways to get away from Buu and regroup with Goku and a hopefully alive Vegeta.

Kai gasped in pain though when he felt a force slam into his back and into the ground, unable to move as Buu literally sat on his back, crushing him slightly. He screamed in pain.

Meanwhile Goku was blocking and dodging powerful fists and kicks, wondering how much longer he could last with the power that he was using, knowing that it wouldn't be enough to beat his son. "Gohan, what are you doing?" Goku questioned as he returned a punch, only to have Gohan grab the fist and us it to throw Goku into the ground.

"I'm fighting you, what does it look like?" Gohan asked easily as he leapt away from Goku to allow him to stand up. "I can't seem like I'm just standing there and talking with you, otherwise I won't be here much longer." Gohan said as he dodged a punch to the side by tilting his head to the side. "I mean come on, use your head dad; if I was seen plotting against Babidi than I'd be killed in a second."

Goku blinked in surprise for second before he gasped in pain as he fist dug into his stomach. "Don't lose focus; we're still enemies right now." Gohan stated as he spun on his toes and slammed his heel into Goku's side, sending him sliding across the ground. "Now how are we to destroy that pink blob without me dying prematurely?" Gohan questioned as he appeared in front of Goku.

Goku stared at his son in shock, unsure of what to say to this sudden mood swing or unusual behavior for the boy, but yelled in pain as he fist landed in his face and caused him to fall to the ground. He was incredibly confused as he lay there, catching his breath and cataloging the damage that he had taken from his son so far, unsure of what to do at the moment.

"Get up." Goku opened his eyes and saw that Gohan was standing over him, cape billowing around as the sun shined behind the boy. "I said get up or the Earth will be destroyed." Gohan said.

Goku gasped in air again as he slowly stood up, his body aching as he did so, but otherwise he ignored it and looked at his son. Gohan had as serious look on his face, eyes hard and cold as he looked at the man that had raised him.

Goku gulped as he closed his eyes and dug in deep, pulling power that he had found to the surface. He never saw the smile that Gohan had on his face as he pulled on that power, knowing that he only had a few chances on using that power. He could already feel his hair grow longer down his back and his brow grow to become more pronounced; his muscles bulged slightly from the extra power that flooded his body. He opened his eyes and stared at his son, knowing that if he didn't stop the boy now, he wouldn't stop to save anyone else.

"Now this is what I'm talking about." Gohan said as flew at his father and aimed a kick at the man's face. Gohan blinked as Goku staggered back slightly, wondering if he had been wrong. That was until a fist landed in his stomach and sent him flying backwards into a cliff.

"I won't let you hurt anyone else." Gohan groaned as he looked at his father, a smirk falling back onto his face as he stared at the man who had helped teach him everything that he knew. Goku was currently in a fighting stance, his gi had several rips and tears in it and his body showed some damage from his previous fight with Dabura.

Gohan chuckled as he stood back up, grabbing hold of the edges of his cloak and throwing it off dramatically as he walked forward towards his father. "I don't think you know exactly what, Goku, is at risk here." Gohan said as he continued walking forward, except now dust was kicking up around him. "Let me show you exactly what you're facing." With that Gohan disappeared.

Goku only smirked and closed his eyes, raising a hand in front of his face as he caught the knee that would've most likely broken his nose. "If you're really going to fight me, then you'll have to kick it up a notch." Goku said as he threw the boy away from him, watching with hard eyes as his son flipped and landed on his feet.

Gohan couldn't help but feel that same excitement he had felt when he first tapped into his power, the true power that had allowed him to beat Cell, no once, but twice and then allow him to become the leader of HFIL. This same feeling had reappeared as he felt Goku's own power, a power that he thought no one could have besides Buu. Now he had an opponent who was his enemy and one he would be allowed to fight, only to a limit though.

Gohan smirked and widened his stance as he began to yell out, summoning all of his power to the forefront. Pebbles, then rocks, and then boulders began to rise into the air, and soon Gohan was unable to be seen as dust kicked into the air.

Goku watched this with a passive eye, knowing his son was powerful but not bothering to show anything towards such the power. Babidi was giggling in delight as he watched Gohan raise his power to the skies and Buu was watching with a childish delight as his friend began to become more and more powerful. Shin was groaning as he looked up in time to see the boy power up, eyes widening as he finally realized why Gohan was the ruler of HFIL.

Goku frowned as he felt something off though, the power that Gohan held, something was wrong with it, though what he knew not. It felt wrong somehow, but he was unsure of how, his frown darkening as that feeling of wrongness grew.

"Kakarot!"

Goku blinked in surprise as he felt another power land next to him, turning to look at the familiar form and face of his friend/rival. "Vegeta, I thought you'd be dead." Goku stated as he turned back towards Gohan who was still powering up. "Nice to know you're powerful enough survive him."

Vegeta scoffed as he crossed his arms over his chest, watching Gohan with a critical eye. "Do not fool yourself into thinking I would die that easily." He stated as he glanced at Goku. "After all, I am the prince of all Saiyans, no matter what the brat says."

Goku rolled his eyes at that, but otherwise didn't say anything else as he watched Gohan. "His power, its….wrong." He said as he tilted his head back to avoid a rock flying towards his face.

Vegeta nodded his head and powered up as well, ignoring the feeling that he should run and not fight. 'I'm a warrior and no warrior flees a battle.' Vegeta said to himself. "His power has been tainted somehow." He said out loud to Goku as Gohan finally came back to earth, his power settling around him as if it was a cloak.

Goku nodded with his assessment and eyed Gohan as the boy stood there, his eyes shadowed and lightning flitting around his erratically. "Think we can take him?" Goku asked but before he could answer a yell rang out around them.

Everyone turned towards Babidi and Buu, the pink blob now had a spear through his stomach, Buu had a look of surprise on his face. Dabura yelled in triumph as he looked at the pink blob. "That'll teach you…to mess with the king…of demons." Dabura panted, but his smirk slid off of his face as Buu turn towards him, smiling.

Everyone watched in either fascination or horror as Buu pulled out the spear, Dabura unsure of what to think could only gape at the great pink monstrosity. Buu smiled as he threw the spear away and began to walk towards Dabura. "Buu hungry." The monster said childishly and his antenna began to move. "Buu wants a cookie!" Buu decided as he shot a pink beam at a still stunned Dabura, turning the king of demons into a chocolate chip cookie.

Babidi giggled insanely as Buu ate the cookie, knowing that he might've lost a great minion, but that the King would've betrayed him eventually anyways so this was for the best. "Besides, I still have two powerful beings on my side." He laughed as he looked at Buu and then a silent Gohan. "I will be able to destroy that Kai once and for all."

"No."

Babidi blinked at that as he turned and looked towards Gohan, who had turned towards him, his aura glowing a dark black. "No? What do you mean by that? I am your master and so you must listen to me." Babidi yelled at the boy, but Gohan didn't react.

"Go and get the two brats and Krillin, after that, run." Gohan said as he glanced at Vegeta and Goku.

The two full Saiyans blinked at him in surprise, Goku instantly powering down some as he realized that Gohan was talking to them. Vegeta though didn't really like what was said and he proved that with what he said next. "Don't you dare order me around brat! I shall do whatever I wish."

Gohan growled as he looked back towards Buu, but his words were still directed at the two adults. "Look, you guys need to regroup and plan! I can stall for a little bit so you can get away, but I can't do much more." Gohan said as he began to move towards Buu. "Go and get the kids out of here.

It was at this point that both Goku and Vegeta noticed several power energies behind them, both instantly realizing that their sons were there. Goku hated to admit it, but he knew that Gohan was right; they needed to regroup and plan if they really wanted to defeat Buu. "Come on Vegeta, let's go."

Vegeta growled but scoffed as he turned and took off towards his son, knowing that whatever Gohan was up to that he didn't want to be there for when it happens.

Goku looked back at his oldest son before he too took off for his youngest. He was about halfway there when he felt a weak energy behind him, recognizing it instantly. Goku's eyes widened for a second before he stopped in midair and flew straight back where a vicious battle had already began.

Goku landed next to the purple being and picked him up, slinging him over his shoulder as he looked towards the battle one last time, wondering what his son was going to do before he put two fingers to his head and disappeared into thin air.

Goten stared in awe at the power that was surging from the guy they had met earlier, wondering where he had gotten such power from. Though he frown as he felt something off about it, unsure of what it was though he turned to Trunks to see if he felt it as well. "Trunks?"

Trunks nodded his head as sweat fell down the side of his face. "I know Goten, this isn't good."

The dust and rocks began to fall down as the power began to settle around the figure, wondering if they should just take off and run. "I thought Gohan told you two to return to your mothers if you lost sight of us." Both boys stiffened as they turned and looked at Piccolo, who was glaring at them.

"Um, hey Piccolo. How's it going?" Trunks asked as Goten laughed sheepishly.

Piccolo only scoffed as he turned to look at the battle field, taking in the strange power that was wrong in so many ways. 'What's happened to you Gohan?' Piccolo asked himself before he turned towards a figure heading straight towards them.

Trunks smiled as he saw the man, jumping up and down as he waved his arms. "Dad! Here we are! Dad!" He yelled in excitement, both from seeing his dad and knowing that the man was alright.

Vegeta landed quickly and grabbed Trunks around his middle, tucking the boy under his arm and turning to Piccolo. "Kakarot's eldest said to get out of here, tell the bald one and the Kai's assistant." With that Vegeta took off into the air, hovering and waiting for the others to get going as well, ignoring the fact that his son was wiggling around.

Goten blinked in confusion before he too was grabbed and tucked under an arm. "Piccolo, hurry up and get Krillin and Kobito, we need to leave now." Goku said as he took off after Vegeta with both Goten and Shin under an arm.

Piccolo only blinked once before he took off towards where Krillin and Kobito both were starting to shake off the side effects of being turned to stone and then back. "Get moving, we need to leave!" Piccolo yelled as he grabbed both by the scruff of their necks and threw them into the air.

Krillin yelped but obediently flew up to where Vegeta and Goku were waiting, Kobito doing so as well. Piccolo looked up at them for a second before turning and watching as his student fought against a monster. "Piccolo, come on, we need to go!" Goku called as the others began to leave.

"Go on, I'm staying." Piccolo said as he crossed his arms, eyes never leaving the fight.

"What! Are you insane! You'll be caught in the crossfire!" Goku yelled as he tried to desperately change Piccolo's mind. Goten was quiet as his father spoke, unsure of what to do.

"I left him once before, I will not do so now, he was my student and I will not let him disappear without me this time." Piccolo said as he watched Buu send Gohan into the earth and soon Gohan shot up and right back at Buu.

Goku growled but he understood. Piccolo had been Gohan's first mentor, the one who taught him how to fight and gave him the power to defend himself. Goku couldn't even start to understand how hard it had been for Piccolo to not only lose his student, but to lose his friend as well.

With one last look at the Namek, Goku took off into the air, flying as fast as he possibly could. "Dad! What are you doing?! We can't just leave Mr. Piccolo and that guy back there!" Goten yelled out as he tried to look back where the fight was going as the island began to disappear.

"Be quiet Goten." Goku said as he continued to push his body beyond the wind. "You couldn't hope to even try and change his mind, even if you did understand." Goku stated quietly as he looked down at his youngest. "A master who loses their pupil is changed forever."

Goten looked up at his father with wide eyes, not quite catching the meaning, but he understood the fact that Piccolo had been hurt somehow. Goku smiled at him before he looked forward again and coming to fly right next to Vegeta. "What is the brat trying to do?"

Goku sighed and shook his head. "I don't know, but I think it has something to do with however he was brought back." Goku said as he frowned. "He shouldn't have been able to leave HFIL unless wished back."

Vegeta was quiet as he contemplated what they were going to do next. "Where do we go now?"

Goku looked up to the air as the place came to him instantly. "The Lookout Tower."

Gohan grunted as he slid across the ground, his arms crossed in front of him as a shield from the punch he had just taken from Buu. "Why are you attacking your ally boy?! You are under my command and control; you should not be fighting me!" Babidi said as he yelled at the boy in front of him, wondering how he was to get control of him again when it was obvious he no longer cared about his life.

Gohan stared at him for a second before he smirked at the little wizard, a hard look entering his eye as he raised an arm at him. "Didn't you know that the Ruler of Hell listens to no one." He said as he fired off a blast at the little wizard.

Babidi stared in terror at the blast as it came closer to him, his limbs unmoving as he tried to think of what to do. He blinked in surprise as a yellow gloved hand intercepted the blast before it could hit, causing Babidi to sigh in relief. "See boy, you can't hurt me as long as I have Buu." Babidi chuckled as he also raised his hands into the air, eyes glowing with triumph. "Did you forget who holds your life in their hands boy?!" Babidi said as he began to chant, a single string of black held in his hands as he continued.

Gohan smirk widened as he watched the string appear and Babidi frowned at that, wondering what the boy was thinking. "I didn't forget." Gohan stated as he widened his stance and began to summon power into his being, ignoring Babidi who was sputtering. "I just never cared." He stated as he closed his eyes and concentrated.

Babidi blinked again as he let the string in his hands go and watched the boy in curiosity. "What are you planning?" Babidi asked silently as he watched the other, his mind running over possibilities and options that Gohan had. Nothing really came to him and so he just watched.

Buu on the other hand could feel the buildup of power, knowing what the boy was planning. Though he could care less as he knew that this blast would do no harm to him, he could heal faster than any being on earth. Though he looked to the side where Babidi was standing near the boy and watching him. The little wizard had released him and normally he would choose to help him from the danger, but he really could care less. The little wizard ordered him around and he hated taking commands from anyone.

So he watched his friend summon the power into his being and watched as the little wizard continued to get closer, unaware of what his friend was up to. Buu only smiled though when he watched the lightning begin to appear and his excitement began to pour out of his body as he knew for a fact that his friend would've been a great opponent if only he had chosen a different path. Eh, Buu knew that there were others, like the man his friend had fought earlier; he would be fun to fight.

Gohan took a deep breath as he opened his eyes, his power continuing to pour into the center of his body, reminisce of the time he had self-destructed during Bojack. He hoped that this would be the last time that he had to do this because he didn't relish the feeling of his body being torn apart, but he knew that he had to do this.

Babidi was still unaware of what the boy was up to, but he was incredibly fascinated by the lightning that was arcing across the small body, smiling like a child as he tried to touch one of the bolts but unsuccessful in his attempts. "This is marvelous, if I knew you had this kind of power before, I would've brought you back ages ago just to have you at my side." Babidi said as he watched Gohan, not realizing that he was in the danger zone where anything could happen to him.

Buu started to giggle as he stepped away from his friend slightly, just so he could see the pretty lights dance around him and the pretty golden aura flowing around him and towards his chest. Buu knew that was where the energy was getting gathered, but he also knew that if he stood any closer he would be incinerated and he didn't want to have to reform from smoke again. That would take time and he didn't want to waste any time because he was careless. As for his master, the little wizard would most likely be dead after this.

Gohan smirked as he looked down at the little wizard, surprised that the creature had no idea what he was up to and was trying to stop him. He could only look up at the sky again though as he realized that he had all the power that he needed, everything was ready. "If you hadn't returned me from life Babidi, you most likely would've lived longer." Gohan said as he looked towards a power energy nearby that he recognized.

Gohan looked Piccolo in the eye, his mentor just far enough away where his blast wouldn't affect the man badly but where he could watch. Gohan smiled at him and nodded his head as he turned back towards the little wizard in front of him. "I've destroyed myself once before, I'll do it again." Gohan stated.

Babidi gulped as he finally realized what Gohan was doing and instantly raised a hand in the air to chant, only pausing for a second when Gohan turn to Buu. "It was nice meeting you Buu." Gohan said with a smile towards the pink blob.

Buu smiled childishly at him and nodded his head. "Friend! We meet again, I give you cookie!" Buu announced as he raised his hands into the air.

Gohan nodded his head as he released his power just as the string of power appeared in Babidi's hands.

A.N. That was kinda intense at the end…never thought I'd write something like that, well I hope you liked it and sorry it took a while. I wasn't sure what exactly to write, but this was pretty good. Well, back to HFIL for Gohan it is then. Or is it?

Review please!

Also to let you guys know, it'll be basically the show from here except for a few things. Gohan will reappear again, but it won't be until at least when Goku appears on the Kai Planet, so that's where the story will resume but only after I give Piccolo's view after Gohan once again kills himself. So just a heads up.
