Location: Alleyway near Capsule Corp, Earth

Time: 5:12 PM

Nestled in this alleyway was a black van and inside was none other than Dr. Gero and his creation Emerald better known as Android 42! They were spying on the Z-fighters to gather information through the mechanical spy bugs Emerald planted during some of the tours of Capsule Corp and it was a good thing for the doctor because he was hearing of a potential new subject for his experiments.

"Majin Buu, hmm? In my stay in Hell, I've heard that he is a powerful being. I'll need to see if his DNA was collected during his fight on Earth otherwise we may need to extract some from him." Dr. Gero said, a sinister smile across his face.

"But, Sir, how will we create another Android when the other labs were destroyed by Goku and his allies?" Emerald questioned, "They contained all the equipment we would need to do that."

"Don't ever say that name!" Dr. Gero shouted, snapping at the mention of his dead but hated foe and slapping Emerald across the van.

"I'm sorry, Sir, I'll keep that in mind, forgive me." Emerald replied, picking herself up a small bruise across her left cheek.

"It's alright Emerald, you didn't know better but you best not make that mistake again... Don't ever say his name." Dr. Gero said, his hands behind his back wringing them, "We can get the parts and equipment I need from my benefactor, she'll want a report anyways of what's happening on Earth. Start driving back to the base."

"Yes, Creator..." Emerald replied, bow in her head and walking to the front seat and the van took off blending into the incoming traffic.

"Is that it? Is that all you five had?" Kuriza asked, panting hard and terribly beaten but still standing.

Across from him stood his five opponents: Mira, Dabura, Turles, Slug and his own uncle Cooler who were panting hard as well but they were beaten and bruised more than Kuriza.

"I'm surprised at your resilience, Nephew, and your strength... You are certainly ready to learn the secret to my transformation!" Cooler replied, a twisted and proud smile on his face, "Misteress Towa, may I ask for your assistance?"

"What do you need, Cooler?" Towa asked, looking at her nails and filing them.

"Nothing much..." Cooler replied, walking to her and leans to whisper in her ear.

"Oh, that's surprising and interesting information... I'll help you with that indeed." Towa said, her face showing a bit of glee.

"Uncle, I just remembered that you have cybernetics and mutations done to your body... Is that really how we achieve this Ascended Form?" Kuriza asked, crossing his arms and sitting down to recover his bout with the five men.

"No, those are just rumors I had placed to cover up the true process. Just in case your father ever caught wind of it, not that it really mattered as he went and got himself foolishly killed. No offense, by the way." Cooler responded, walking over to his nephew and sitting with him.

"None taken... I didn't know him very well and whenever I did hear about him, it was pretty much what you say. He always rushed in headfirst instead of making a proper plan. I won't make the same mistakes as him." Kuriza said, a hint of spite and venom in his voice.

"Ah, carefully dear Nephew, he may have been a headstrong fool but he did manage to conquer most of the Universe." Cooler said, cautioning his nephew, "Speaking of... I'll leave you a warning about two beings that you mustn't cross... Majin Buu, a being that nearly ruined the entire universe and Lady Ruby, the Goddess of Destruction, she is powerful enough to destroy a planet with a mere tap of her finger."

"Cooler, Kuriza... The preparations are done. Let's move, gentlemen." Towa called, walking from the lab. "It took a bit more time to make and combine the tech from my lab with the scraps here but

"I hear you, Uncle... I'll listen to your warnings." Kuriza replied, standing up and following Towa into the lab "What do I need to do?"

"Stand on the X and strap that arm band on... You'll be sucked into a dimension that speeds time up. A day out here is a year in there." Towa replied, walking over to a dashboard and flicking a few switches.

"And how long will I be in there?" Kuriza asked, strapping the armband on his right arm and standing on the X.

"According to your Uncle, five years is the minimum you need to achieve his form." Towa said, typing a few commands and prepares to hit a big red button "That armband needs to stay intact and on your person if I'm going to bring you back. Activating Cyro-freeze and Time Distortion Portal in three, two... one!"

"Let's get this over with." Kuriza replied, just before being frozen and sent into a portal.

"Good luck nephew..." Cooler muttered, feeling his nephew's energy disappear.

"Say Cooler, Turles and I are going to gather back our soldiers... Will you join us?" Slug asked, staying a few away from him wary of Cooler's strength, "We will need more than the five of us if we're to invade and defeat these new Fighters on Earth..."

Turles is nearby leaning on a wall and playing around with a rodent by shooting KI Blast at it.

"Indeed, let us go and rally our soldiers... It's time My Armored Squadron make a return along with the might of the Frieza Force ; They shall follow Kuriza and I without question." Cooler said, walking with Slug and Turles to a docking bay.

"Please, my Crusher Corps would dust your people, Cooler." Turles said, starting up the ship up. "In 30 minutes or less in fact."

"Oh, don't be so sure, dear Turles..." Cooler replied, a competitive smirk rising on his face, "My men are too well trained and ruthless... they simply cannot lose to your pathetic weak pets."

"Tch, My Clan will wipe the floor with both of your people. They would make your men drop like flies." Slug spoke, crossing his arms up to his chest.

"We'll see how they fare against in the coming battle." Cooler said, walking to a ship similar to his old cruiser ship.

Slug and Tulres both headed to similar ships.

"Indeed, well, it's been fun gentlemen but I have some troops to gather." Turles said, doing a mock salute and entering his ship.

Slug and Cooler took off as well, each ship launching to separate parts of the Universe each heading to a different Galaxy.

Turles heading to the East Galaxy, Cooler to the North Galaxy and Slug heading to the West Galaxy.

-4 days till World Tournament-

"So Buu hasn't destroyed the planet because your Grandpa Hercule said Buu had to listen to you?" Gabe asked, landing in front of the Satan Property.

"Yea, Grandpa Hercule helped my mom take care of me after Dad and the others..." Pan replied, trailing off as Gabe knew the rest.

"Wow, Buu really liked Mr. Satan a lot..." Gabe said, "He still listens to him after so long."

"Buu is really kind once you know him." Vivie chimed in, flying next to Shisu. "He changed a lot after Great Grandpa Herucle died... He started acting more like an grown person instead of a little kid. It was kinda unexpected! Come on we'll show you!"

Suddenly the front door opened and Buu stepped out, his look had changed over the years but not much, he still wore the purple cape and jacket but he had a much more slim but built figure.

Though if one doesn't pay attention his attire, Buu could be mistaken for an old foe.

"What the-?! That's Super Buu!" Gabe yelled, rushing at a confused Buu with a punch ready.

"Gabe, wait!" Shisu yelled, but was too late as Gabe had thrown the punch.

Buu was caught off guard by the sudden show of hostility but stopped Gabe's punch by catching it.

"Well, that was a bit close, don't you think?" Buu said, his voice no longer high pitched and childish but now more mature and intelligent. "I'm not Super Buu, I'm still the Good Buu that cared for... Though I understand that with the sudden physical change with my body, its an easy mistake."

Buu then proceeded to release Gabe's hand as the brown haired Saiyan calmed down.

"Jeez, Gabe! Can't you just calm down and listen instead of rushing into things?" Vivie asked, shaking her head. "Hey, Mr. Buu! This is Frostbyte and Gabe! You already know Shisu."

"Ehehe, sorry! I guess I should be more aware of things!" Gabe replie, sheepishly scratching the back of his head. "Sorry, Buu! But, hey you see, really strong let's have a spar sometime!"

"Gabe! We didn't come to spar!" Pan yelled, shaking her head at Gabe's actions. "Uub, Bulla would you guys head in and alert the staff that we're going to have a feast and party?"

"You got it, Pan! It's been a while since we've thrown a party! Come on, My hunky Uub!" Bulla said, dasing into the house with a passionate flame in her eyes.

"Oh, boy.. Bulls is going to have a lot of fun with this." Uub said, walking after Bulla with a smile on his face. "Marron wanna join us?"

"You already know that me and Bulla are a package duo when it comes to partying!" Marron replied, dashing after Bulla. "Hurry up, Ubb!"

"Tch, that is too true... Back as in college I always had to carry them home after they got too drunk." Uub said, a small laugh came from his lips.

"How are things?" Frostbyte said, greeting Buu with a handshake "I'm not rely familiar with your kind, so if it's not a bother I would like to learn more about you."

"There's not really much to tell, my dear boy." Buu replied, returning his handshake. "I'm a Majin and the only one of my kind. I can stretch my limbs like a Namekian and I can regenerate from as long as a single piece of my survives."

"Interesting! That seems pretty useful." Frostbyte responded, letting go and heading over to Uub who was walking to the house. "I'll go help them, Ms. Pan!"

"Hello, Sensei!" Shisu said, a broad happy smile on her face as she greeted her martial arts instructor. "Can you help me train some more for the World Tournament?"

"Ah, Vivie, Shisu! My two favorite students! Things are good, very good! I'm actually glad you all are here." Buu replied, hugging the two girls. "I can tell you two have gotten stronger... Keep up the good work and you just might take the title from me this year!"

"Uncle Buu... What's wrong? I got a call saying you wanted to see me?" Pan said, worry was completely in her voice.

"Yeah, is there some sort of trouble, Bubble Gum?" Android 18 asked, leaning on a tree in the shade. "Miss me?

"Ah, 18! Well, looks like even more of a reason to celebrate! Everyone is getting back together!" Buu said, smiling "Actually I wanted to introduce you all to my grilfriend, Rebecca..."

"What?!" Everyone yelled, falling as they do in cartoons. "You have a girlfriend?!"

"Ah, maybe I should explain, but after she gets here." Buu said, sweat dropping as everyone fell.

As this happened a female figure, who looked to be 29, with blond hair a red shirt, jeans and a wjite backwards baseball capwalked up to the group.

"Buu? What happened to them? Are they okay?" The woman asked, walking over and hugging Buu.

"They're fine, I think? How are you, My dear Rebecca?" Buu asked, then kissing his girlfriend tenderly.
