Dragonball and Dragonball Z are copyrighted to Akira Toriyama. I only own my original characters.
A/N: Time some things get moving…and I also wanted to say that I've tried to make Anzu not a "Mary-Sue" and if she appears to be that way, forgive me. I do not think I will continue this story into Dragonball GT either, considering I do not count it as canon. However, I might write just a few oneshots on different parts of GT to tie into this original work soon.
Princesa de la Luna: I apologize for the delay in updating. Thank you your patience and checking up on me for updating this fanfiction. Thanks!
DragonBallPrincess: Oh thank you! (; I tried to be original and I think this fanfiction is slightly like a "What-If" saga.
Previously:
Ya-hooooo!" Gotenks yelled, causing Anzu to jerk her attention away from Piccolo statement over to the new 'boy' as she thought, "This is amazing…now to defeat Majin Buu!" Suddenly everyone on the Lookout shot their attention towards Gotenks.
"No, you can't! You do not have the power yet to defeat him. We need to continue training you still!" Piccolo yelled, but it seemingly went unheard by Gotenks. Anzu bit her lip back, halfway knowing Piccolo was right.
"What were you thinking, Goten? Running off of on your own like that, you could have been killed and then I would not have anyone!" Chi-Chi yelled at her youngest son, as she and Bulma tended to the wounds that the two boys had received from trying to fight Majin Buu. Everyone on the Lookout did not need to be Kami-sama to see that the two boys had lost. Anzu just blinked in sync with her father, as she noted his mood seemed to lighten greatly since the two boys got back.
"Chi-Chi is right. You two boys have wasted half a day just goofing around," Piccolo added in.
"We thought…OUCH," Trunks gave a glance towards his mother as she was cleaning a deep wound on his arm before continuing on, "that Buu would be easy to defeat."
"You boys thought wrong," Piccolo replied, "Buu's ki has risen to a higher power than before and he is even more dangerous. We are depending on you to defeat him and your stunt could have gotten everyone killed, including yourselves." The boys nodded sadly in understanding and Piccolo smiled slightly, realizing the two boys understood now the weight placed on the shoulders…leaving Anzu glancing down at her younger sister and mother several yards away with Roshi and a determined look flashed across her face.
"That is remarkable! They got the timing perfect this time and even did it as Super Saiyans!" Piccolo stated, as Krillin nodded in agreement. The boys had actually become focused enough that the past hour after Piccolo healed the boys' injuries and Anzu remained silent, watching carefully.
"I'm ready," Gotenks answered back, as Krillin and Piccolo nodded carefully. Both of the warriors started to charge towards the newly fused being and began to attacking with each of them at full power. The idea was to give Gotenks more fighting experience and the only idea to do was that was to fight against each other. Anzu was also supposed to be helping out, though she first studied Gotenks movement. He was doing fairly well against Piccolo and Krillin and she could hardly register his movements.
A left hook delivered from Gotenks' to Piccolo's face prompted Anzu to join in. She increased her speed and kicked Gotenks in the stomach, as Krillin and Piccolo stopped for a second as they exchanged surprised glances. For a several minutes, it was just Anzu and Gotenks who fought against each other. The girl was easily being overpowered by Gotenks hits and power alone, though Anzu kept herself on the defensive side. Gotenks was relying only on his power, which did not give Anzu any chance of opening.
When a fist connected with her face, the girl flew to the ground and rubbed her jaw…trying to stop tears from forming. She knew Gotenks was not trying to purposely hurt her, but it felt like her jaw had been broken. Krillin was quick to rush to his daughter's aide, trying to help her stand up. Pain was shooting from all over her body and she knew Gotenks' was not using even half of the needed strength deliver pain to Buu
Anzu, however, swatted away her father's helping hand. She forced herself to her knees and Piccolo's eyes narrowed. Though this fight was supposed to be training, Anzu was treating it like a real battle. Oddly enough, he wondered if it was because the girl was angry about something which he picked up in her movements and attacks. They were more focused and accurate than he had seen them.
"Put more power into it, Gotenks," Anzu finally stated, her hand rubbing her jaw broken. Talking hurt and it sounded like her words were slurred a bit from it.
"No, do not. Anzu, one hit could kill you," Krillin replied back.
"But Dad, I have an idea. Please just trust me," the girl answered as got into a defensive stance one more as did Gotenks.
"N…" Krillin started, but Piccolo placed an arm on Krillin's shoulder.
"Leave her be. Now I am beginning to understand what Goku meant with her. If Anzu's idea works, it could just probably give the boys better understanding," Piccolo whispered, as Krillin nodded. The former monk, however, was worried. What if Anzu's plan did not work out?
Anzu was the one this time who charged towards Gotenks, as the fused being had a smug look on his face. She raised a foot to kick him in the face, as Gotenks raised a hand to catch it. Increasing her speed enough to create an after image, Anzu appeared behind Gotenks and her ki barrier suddenly formed around her. Gotenks quickly caught her movements and understanding finally flashed across his face, as he turned around and flung a fist at full power towards Anzu.
The barrier stopped the punch, though Anzu struggled to "keep back" the power of his strength. However, Gotenks pulled into his reserves and understanding dawned on Piccolo.
"Of course! If Gotenks can get past her barrier, it will prove that Gotenks will need to try harder to finish the punch!" Piccolo stated, sounding impressed.
"What if he cannot get past the barrier?" Krillin asked, surprised.
"Then we will have to focus harder on training," Piccolo replied grimly.
For several seconds, it appeared to be a power struggle in deflecting the punch against Anzu's barrier. Sweat was on the side her face and she was putting the max amount of her ki into keeping the hit outside of the barrier. Gotenks, meanwhile, started to raise his ki as he removed his punch and began to punch against the barrier with even more powerful blows. This continued for several seconds as Gotenks' ki continue to rise and a hand made it through the barrier, such "destroying it" with his hand glowing with energy.
Expecting it Anzu moved slightly to the side to avoid the wrath of the fist, however energy still burned towards her and she slumped to the ground, exhausted. She smiled up at Gotenks, who was studying how he managed to control the ki onto his hand like that and few a seconds; she panted trying to catch her breath. However, pain from blows received from Gotenks and using her own ki to help Gotenks understand his own better, she felt black welcoming her and she went unconscious.
"Anzu!" Krillin sounded, alarmed and picked the unconscious girl. Her ki was low and understanding came to his mind, as he smiled slightly. He would need Dende to heal her and stood up, still holding her. Suddenly, Goten and Trunks appeared after a blink of light. It appeared that time had run out for the fusion. Trunks and Goten walked up to Anzu, a slight worried look on their faces.
"Do you understand what she was doing boys?" Piccolo asked, drawing their attention back on him.
"Trying to show us how to tap into our ki better?" Trunks asked, as Piccolo nodded.
"Make sure you apply that as Gotenks when you fight Buu," the Namekian added in as the boys nodded, as Krillin carried Anzu out of the room they had been in and to find Dende to heal her.
BOOM!
Anzu woke from a sleep to the sounds of rumbling and a massive ki. She noticed her injuries were healed and glanced, around, as understanding flashed across her face. The entire sky was filled with pink energy and she stumbled to get from the mat that she had been sleeping on. She noticed the two boys were asleep and were still taking a nap.
How could they sleep through this? She wondered. She noticed her blank shoes and socks were lying on a nearby table including the blue part of her gi. Quickly getting dressed and noticing her black hair was now hanging down – it appeared it had come undone when she was asleep – she grabbed the blue ribbon that held it up and ran out of the room and up the nearest of stairs.
She noticed her mother was trying to prevent Marron from screaming as her sister's cries tormented her ears as she rushed to glance out from the room that overlooked the Lookout. The ki in question she was sensing belonged to no other than Majin Buu and in fear, she moved closer to her mother and sister, though not taking her eyes off the monster who now confronted Yamcha, Piccolo, and Dende as he had his hand was in the air. Anzu felt countless amounts of ki suddenly fading from the Lower Realm below as the pink blob lowered his hand slowly and then to her horror, it began to speak.
"All the humans are dead. Now, where is the fighter I was promised?" Buu sounded, though it seemed like a mere whisper to Anzu.
"He is asleep and cannot fight right now," Piccolo answered much louder.
"Then wake him up or can I start to kill?" Buu asked a confused look on his face.
"Please, just one hour," Piccolo suggested.
"What is an hour? How long is it?" Buu asked. Piccolo, to Anzu's surprise, formed an hourglass from his hands and placed it in front of Buu.
"An hour will be up when all the sand runs to the bottom," Piccolo answered.
At that minute, Buu stood up and shouted, "No! I do not want to wait an hour!"
"Why not, what is an hour? Or are you too scared?" Videl's voice sounded.
"Stupid child," Buu asked, as he raised a finger to get ready to finish her.
"Oh no," Anzu whispered, as she moved closer to her mother for protection. She did not want to see Videl get killed and even if she was now considered a fighter, the six year old still welcomed the comfort of Android 18 at the present time.
"Wait! That girl is Mr. Satan's daughter! If an hour is what she requests!" Piccolo stated. Anzu raised an eyebrow…wasn't Mr. Satan the man who claimed to defeat Cell? When in reality it was Goten's older brother, Gohan?
"Alright, one hour you have on Satan's child request. Then you all will die," Buu stated and Piccolo nodded.
In had only been thirty minutes when Anzu felt Buu's ki raising again (as she sat quietly with her father) and heard him shouting. At first she could make out what he said, then it became even louder.
"I'M DONE WAITING!" He yelled, as Kami's Lookout began to shake once more.
