Marc: Thanks and I will try.
JC Uchiha: Thanks for the review. (;
Princesa de la Luna: No problem. Now here is that new chapter…
Dcfc183: I respect your opinion on this story. I can see how Anzu would be considered a more ways than one too. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to review anyways.
Arianhrod of Lemuria: Hey thanks. I tried to be original and retell the Buu Saga in a weird – but nice way without writing off Tien, Chaozu, and some of the other characters. And as you requested, here is a new chapter.
A/N: Okay, so it has been several months since I last updated this story. Writer's block and a penname change. *Shrugs* Yes, I changed my penname after all of these years. I am still trying to get used to it, so please do not be surprised if it might change back…*chuckles*
You probably feel like you are going to die. Then again, when you are a Namekian who has put all of their effort into training the son of Vegeta and the youngest son of Son Goku, there is a possibility you could die from just babysitting those two. Piccolo felt that way.
Did Gohan feel that way before he died? Piccolo had to frown to himself for a split second. Of course Gohan would come to mind before he was about to be killed because the annoying children just HAD to go and see if Majin Buu was asleep.
Goten was the genius behind the plan, if one could tell. How remarkably similar he was to Gohan and Goku. Well…not so much at that age. Gohan had a stricter upbringing and was able to understand simple mathematic problems – if simple meant those at least a secondary school level Yamcha stated at one time.
"Are you two insane? You are going to get us killed! We can use this remaining time to prepare for the next fusion and not wake him up," Piccolo almost screamed – well, he could use a higher tone and risk waking Buu up, of course.
"Okay, okay," Goten and Trunks muttered together at the same time, as they slowly started to back away. However, the shock of a rapidly approaching ki stopped them in their tracks...
Tien stopped midair for a second. He was rather close to where he felt the other energy levels, but also there seemed to be a large ki approaching them. It felt stronger than even Majin Buu's. It seemed familiar yet faintly different. He pushed it outside for now. He could Dende's ki and another small one with him moving.
First he would find Dende and try to understand what in Kami's name was happening.
The feeling of awakening returned slowly. Anzu felt a strong, firm grip around her middle. What did happen? Her head felt groggy and it felt like she was weak everywhere. There was the strange man called Android 17, Dende talking with him, and her loosing unconscious. Odd…but yet she did not remember how she ended up that way. Not that it mattered right now anyways.
Where was Majin Buu? How was the fighting going between him and Gotenks?
Brushing the thought off for a few minutes, Anzu opened her eyes and looked at Dende, who was flying behind her. Dende had felt the young girl waking up and he smiled slightly as she stared at him. Only then did Anzu notice that Dende was not the one who was carrying her.
A quick glance with her blue eyes upwards confirmed who was carrying her in strong hold: Android 17. Everything finally flashed back and Anzu quickly darted her eyes off of the male android and the Namekian.
"Dende…what happened?" She asked. Dende opened his mouth to reply but he never got the chance
"I knocked you out kid," a voice interrupted before Dende had a chance to speak. Of course, Seventeen would make sure he was the first one who would get in the first word.
Would rolling her eyes make her feel better? It might, even if it would be immature. Of course, she was only six years old, so she went ahead and rolled her eyes at the statement.
"Of course you did," she whispered. Whether Android 17 heard her or was simply choosing to ignore, Anzu did not know.
Glancing around, Anzu noticed they were in the air and flying towards Majin Buu's ki (rather, Dende had been telling where to go, since the male android did not have built in sensors). Tugging slightly against Seventeen's tight grip, she was surprised to feel the grip tighten none the less.
"Let me go. I know how to fly," Anzu stated.
Seventeen glanced down at the girl, "If you call it flying. I noticed you do not have great control over your own flight patterns when you were flying earlier. I do not know much about humans and their ki, but even I can tell your ki is lowered."
What? How could her ki be weaker? A quick scan of her did not confirm it. Her energy was slightly low but it was not dangerously low…
Dende eyed the two before noticing the confused look on Anzu's face, "Your ki is not weaker, Anzu. He thinks the less amount of ki Majin Buu can sense, the better we might be." The last sentence was sent with a glare at Android 17, who ignored it.
"Not like it would do any good. I can tell from here there is another approaching ki towards Piccolo and the others," Anzu stated in a 'I-think-you-are-stupid' tone.
"Yes but…" Dende was fixing to state something when he sensed another ki approaching. It was weaker than the other fighters' and Majin Buu, but it was stronger than Anzu's ki.
"Who is…?" Piccolo stated, as a ki was suddenly picked up by him. He grimaced with a frown and a hint of nervousness as he stuided the skies, "Someone is coming."
The two boys looked up too as they sensed the person approaching. To their surprise, the person felt familiar but the energy whoever it had was unimaginable almost. It seemed higher than Buu's.
"It is so powerful. Could this be a new enemy…?" Piccolo asked. He asked it more so to himself than anyone else, but Goten was easily able to start recognizing who it was.
"It is my brother!" Goten cheered. To Trunks' and Piccolo's surprise, it was Gohan. It seemed so odd though to Piccolo. It was Gohan but had he not been killed by Majin Buu only two days previous?
Gohan landed with a strange form of grace - or just plain confidence, Piccolo noted – in front of the group and eyed Majin Buu, "I made it in time." He turned his head slightly to look at the others in the group. Goten was the most cheerful and seemed like he was fixing to start jumping up and down at the sight of his brother.
"We all thought you were dead!" The youngest boy said which made Gohan smile.
"The Supreme Kai saved me. Where is everyone else?" Gohan answered. Piccolo remained silent as he observed Gohan. He was different. He was not the little boy he once raised and his attitude had changed dramatically.
"Boo killed them all," Trunks stated with hate in his voice. Gohan could understand Trunks' tone all too well. His father had died in an attempt to destroy Buu and his mother had been eaten by the monster. How many times did Gohan see and know when his loved ones and friends died before his eyes?
"Mom too? And Dende?"
"Yeah!" Goten answered.
Gohan glared at Buu and his frown deepened even more. It was not just with Chi-Chi and Dende being dead, but his close friends as well. His grandfather, Videl, Bulma, Krillin, Master Roshi, and Yamcha…they were all gone. Not to mention Mr. Popo and Krillin's own family. He honestly had hoped Cell would be the last form of danger he might ever come to face in his life.
However, Gohan no longer had the attitude he had when he first tried to fight Cell. This monster in front of him had killed everyone on the face of the planet. Except…was it possible he was sensing Dende?
"Your family and friends tasted real good. I turned them into chocolate and ate them. They tasted good. But now I remember you. You could defeat me before, how do you plan to even hurt me now?"
"Hurt you? I plan to kill you."
"Let's land. Buu will be able to tell where we are if we keep flying," Dende muttered.
Anzu had to agree. In any attempts, the male android would not release his iron grip on her and she was getting frustrated. While they could sense the battle in front of them (besides Seventeen), it did not seem useful to go and get themselves killed.
"Hey…wait, I sense a weaker ki nearby…" Anzu stated. They stopped for a few seconds and waited, as it seemed the weaker ki was approaching.
"Is it that wizard who went into everyone's minds?" Seventeen asked.
"No, Buu turned on him and killed him," Dende answered, "But this ki feels familiar…"
"Who could it be?" Anzu asked, looking at Dende. She shuffled a bit in her uncle's hold. It was rather uncomfortable the laws of gravity trying to pull her down when they were stopped in the middle of the air.
After a few more seconds, Anzu was rather shocked to a figure approaching. She could not really make out who it was, but it appeared Dende and even Android 17 realized who it was. Was it one of her father's friends?
With quick speed, the figure stopped in front of them and she was rather taken by shock. It was a man who had three eyes, wore winter styled clothing, and had a ki that almost seemed to match her father's – if was not higher. She could not really tell who was stronger…
"Dende, what are you…" Tien started he noticed Android 17. A frown appeared on the man's face as he eyed the male android. Only seven years ago, Tien had easily been taken down by the male android on mountain highway road.
To his surprise, however, was the young girl "tucked" under his arm. Her ki was the one he had been sensing within the past few hours. He took in her appearance and to it did not take him long to realize who her parents were. Yet, why was she not with them?
"Seventeen, I am surprised to see you here," Tien stated. He turned his attention off the girl and onto the male android.
"You as well, three-eyes," Seventeen remarked. Dende would have let lose a groan if it would have made the situation any better. They did not have the time for old wounds to be reopened. As long as they hovered in flight, they would be in risk of Buu sensing their ki. Plus, he could tell the fight between the massive energy and Buu were exchanging blows.
"Come on, we can talk down here," Dende muttered, as he started to descend in the air. Seventeen followed with Tien staring at him for a few more seconds before descending down as well.
"You mean they are all dead?" Tien asked.
"Yes, it was only because of Mr. Popo we were able to escape," Dende explained.
Seventeen was oddly enough staring off, listening but pretending not to. Anzu set closer near Dende, now the android had finally released her when they landed. Tien only set a few feet away from them,
"Excuse me, but who are you?" Anzu asked. Dende seemed to know the man pretty well, but she did not even know his name.
"Tien Shinhan (Tenshinhan). I take you are Krillin's kid?" Tien asked, as he ruffled the girl's hair with his hand gently.
"Yes, my name is Anzu," she replied, giggling slightly. A small smile appeared on Dende's face. How ironic was it the children of Earth's Special Forces were dealing with situations not even adults should be. It was the same for Gohan with Frieza and the Saiyans.
Tien nodded and sighed for a second, "Despite the current events, Dende, I sense Buu has fled. I cannot even sense his ki anymore."
Anzu frowned and searched for it, but to her amazement, it did seem hidden. Where was Majin Buu, however? She did, however, notice Piccolo's and everyone else approaching! She could have danced for joy if it would not have appeared looking like an idiot.
"Hey, would you quit squirming?" Trunks asked Hercule Satan. Piccolo, Gohan, Goten, and Trunks had sadly managed to pick up the world champion when they noticed him wondering around lost.
Gohan stifled a laugh from escaping and grinned when he sensed Dende's ki. To his surprise, he also sensed two other familiar ki levels. Anzu and…Tien?
"Hey! Down here!" Dende cheered and Anzu stood near him. To his surprise, Tien was also there as well. The group landed and much to everyone's shock, Android 17 was there as well.
"So that is the story…" Gohan explained his story as did Dende explained his. However…little did the group know there was still much more to Majin Buu than just expecting him to run off? Even if Gohan and Piccolo had their ideas about the evil creation resurfacing…was it possible Gohan many not be able to defeat Majin Buu?
For some reason, this began to eat at Anzu. Plus the feeling she may not get to see the creation's defeat…alive that is.
A/N: Luckily I cut the story off here. I was going to write more and leave it a cliff hanger, but hey, I think this will do for now. A lot of skipping around and changes compared to the actual Buu Saga, but hey…it will still follow the storyline pretty close.
New chapter will be posted hopefully soon, but I still want to work more ahead on this story as well. I am almost done writing it ahead, but I still need to revise it and make it flow
I am working on the sequel (as I am almost finished revising the ending of this story) as well. I am thinking of including one or two of the movies such as Bio-Broly or Wrath of the Dragon. However, I'll only write those if you all want them, not me. I do not want to write something on those movies and make it "insert Anzu" here. The sequel actually is very short, so if you want it to span a bit longer with some side stories, feel free to let me know.
Thank you for reviewing and the next chapter should be a bit longer.
