A New Hope For The Future

Chapter 26

Goku and Vegeta practised the fusion dance quickly, knowing every second led Buu closer to them. Vegeta hated it and because of his reluctance often got it wrong. Vegeta looked at Goku in disgust "Kakarot this is ridiculous! We look stupid, were warriors not ballerinas!" The two looked in horror as Buu appeared before them!

"Found you! You aren't getting away". Goku looked at Vegeta "We need to do it now Vegeta. I know you haven't practised it, so do your best!" The two backed up and ran through the lookout. Buu raised a suspicious eyebrow "Why are you running? Divide and conquer won't work against me!" Buu released a massive energy blast which reduced the buildings on the lookout to rubble!

Goku and Vegeta rose from the rubble in their base forms. Goku looked at Vegeta "We aren't going to last like this!" Vegeta looked at the area "Kakarot let's use the after image technique!" Goku looked at him and smiled "You got it Vegeta! I'll follow your lead!"

The two transformed again and rushed towards Buu! They vanished and reappeared somewhere else and repeated the cycle until Buu didn't know where they had gone! The Supreme Kai called on Gohan and Trunks who soon arrived to watch their fathers run circles around Buu.

The two saiyans began the fusion dance and Buu repeatedly blasted the wrong one, his panic was beginning to show as he raised his hand into the air and bombed the earth with his genocide blast! Buu turned in surprise as a blinding yellow light appeared behind him! The light faded and revealed one fighter with black hair. The warrior looked at himself and pointed "I'm Veku, let's fight!" They had botched the fusion attempt and Buu laughed loudly.

Veku ran towards Buu and slipped, falling flat on his face! His nose was bleeding and he was already out of breath. Buu stopped laughing and appeared behind the saiyan only to back up. Buu held his nose and fell on his back as Veku passed gas! Veku ran after him "Eat my signature gas attack!" Buu got to his feet and punched Veku straight through the lookout! Veku recovered slowly and pointed at Buu "Bring it on if you think you can take me!"

Gohan watched in horror as Veku was pounded. At this rate he was going to die. Gohan rose to his feet and transformed. He then went super saiyan 2 "Trunks find out how powerful that sword is, I'm going to stop them getting killed!" Gohan vanished from sight and appeared behind Buu. He caught his antenna and pulled him straight into his fist! Gohan then twisted and kicked Buu in the chest before sending him flying with an energy blast.

Buu regenerated and looked at Gohan with evil eyes "You seem to be stronger than Goku and Vegeta, I guess I'll absorb you to!" Gohan summoned his aura and readied himself "Like to see you try!" Buu flew towards him and the two collided in mid-air with a kick! Veku looked at the battle "Got get him Gohan, that's it pound his face in, Oh watch yourself!" Gohan caught Buu's fists and kneed him on the chin twice before kicking him on the side of the head, leaving a foot shaped indent in Buu's head. He quickly regained his solid form and threw a punch that broke through Gohan's guard and hit him in the face! Gohan shook it off and the two's feet collided with an explosion of power. They threw one punch each, catching each other on the cheek! Gohan backed up and teleported into the sky "Eat this Buu!" Gohan crossed his hands and placed them on his forehead. "Masenko!" But before Gohan fired it he teleported before Buu and blasted him at point-blank range!

The yellow beam engulfed him as Gohan sustained the beam for as long as he could. He allowed the beam to disperse and backed up! The entire upper part of Buu's body was blown apart. Videl danced around the crystal ball celebrating. The two charged towards each other and met with a flurry of punches and kicks! The two descended continuing with their exchanges. Gohan dodged a punch to his head and blocked another aimed for his ribs. Buu blocked two swift punches to his chest and retaliated with a kick! Gohan caught his leg and grinned! Gohan threw him into the sky and drew his sword. He flew towards the monster and cut it in half, Buu looked at him un-phased and kicked him across the face, grabbing his sword in the process! Buu charged at Gohan the light shinning off the tip of the sword! Veku charged towards Buu and suddenly separated! Goku smiled and flared his aura! He appeared before Buu and kneed Buu in the face before Vegeta joined his hands and smashed the monster into the earth below!

Gohan looked at his father "Please don't botch the next attempt, I need to head back and prepare for the real battle". Gohan vanished from their view. Goku cast Vegeta a sympathetic face "Since we botched the attempt we don't need to wait an hour. Let's go!" Goku caught Vegeta and teleported to the rocky mountains, the same area the two had fought for the first time.

Buu flew towards them with all speed, he was enraged! The two performed the fusion dance just as Buu appeared before them! Buu flew straight into the light only to be hit back out again! The light dispersed and revealed a lone warrior. He was tall and slender resembling Goku but he had Vegeta's facial features. He wore the normal fusion clothing with white trousers, a blue sash around his waist that dangled to his right and black wristbands. He possessed Vegeta's widow's peck and a single lock of hair covering his forehead.

He looked at Buu "I am neither Goku nor Vegeta! I am Gogeta! It's over Buu, I've come for you!" Gogeta appeared behind Buu and kicked him in the back, he twisted his body in mid-air and delivered another kick to the monster's skull! Buu staggered forward as Gogeta raised his hand into the air. He summoned a rainbow coloured sphere in his palm and turned to face Buu. Buu ran towards him and Gogeta threw the sphere into his stomach! Buu shed a small piece of skin as the attack hit him! A large hole tore through Buu's body as the remainder of his body disintegrated. Gogeta dropped his guard but then raised it as Buu began to regenerate before him!

Buu was soon fully formed and groaned as his antenna was missing. Gogeta smiled "You missed a piece". He had a dual voice including both Goku's and Vegeta's. Gogeta placed his hands out before him and charged an orb of energy in his hands "Eat this!" Gogeta blasted Buu with the attack and the monster created a hole in his own body to avoid it. Gogeta appeared before him and delivered a powerful kick to the monsters skull before smashing him into the ground! He raised his hands into the air and began to rain blasts upon the beast! Buu appeared beside him and Gogeta turned instantly, easily blocking his attack. A broad grin crossed Gogeta's face as his fist tore straight through his stomach! "Oh what a shame. Your practically falling apart on me!" Gogeta pulled his hand back and sent Buu flying with an aura burst.

Buu stood in fear "That's cheating! You can't fuse!" Gogeta simply smiled and laughed slowly "Who are you to talk? You've been absorbing people all day! Listen Buu, Goku or Vegeta weren't strong enough to beat you alone, but I am the one who will destroy you!" Gohan stared at the ball and smiled "We may not have to fight after all Trunks, Gogeta is dominating!" Trunks looked at the z-sword "Gohan throw me something, I want to see how sharp this thing is". Gohan looked around and found a large rock. He yanked from the ground and threw it! Trunks easily severe the stone. The Supreme Kai noticed this and grinned. He raised his hand into the air and a large black cube appeared in his hand "This is made from Kachink, one of the densest substances in the universe". Trunks turned to face the Supreme Kai who threw the object towards him! Trunks swung the sword through the air, snapping the blade as he did so!

The Supreme Kai and Kibito stared in disbelief, mouths nearly hitting the floor. Gohan looked at the sword and shook his head "Power to defeat Buu? We might as well hurl that cube at him, Trunks we'll train the old fashioned way!" The two saiyans ignited their auras and charged towards each other! Kibito picked up the broken edge of the z-sword "What are we going to do now? We have no hope!" "Not so fast sonny!" Everyone present turned as an older version of the supreme kai appeared "It's good to breath fresh air again!"

The Supreme Kai looked at him "Who are you? Why do you look like me?" The old man simply smiled "That's simple, I'm The Supreme Kai! Well at least I was a few generations ago!" He looked into the crystal ball "Majin Buu? Who's the fused warrior fighting him?" Gohan looked at Trunks with a surprised expression "You know about fusion?" The Old Kai looked at him and nodded "Of course I do! I also know those two didn't use the proper method, they used the fusion dance!" The Supreme Kai stood speechless "What do you mean it isn't the proper way to fuse?"

Old Kai sighed and sat down, crossing his legs. He used his magic to materialize a magazine "The fusion dance used to fuse two beings into a single entity isn't the strongest method, the strongest method is the Potara earrings, that's the proper way to fuse".

Gohan glanced across at Trunks who met his gaze. The two walked towards each other "We should use these 'Potara earrings'. Look at the difference it made with our fathers, imagine what it will do with us. Were already stronger than they are". Trunks smiled at the compliment "Yeah, let's do it!"

Gohan turned to face the Old Kai "Teach us how to fuse!" The Old Kai turned to The Supreme Kai and Kibito "Place the earrings on opposite ears, that's all there is to it". He returned his attention to his magazine, drooling as he did so. The Supreme Kai removed his left earring and Kibito removed his right. The two earrings glowed for a second and the two were suddenly pulled together! Kibito Kai looked at himself and smiled "This is awesome!" Gohan smiled at the result and looked at Kibito Kai "How long does the effect last?" The Old Kai sighed "…It lasts forever".

Gohan and Trunks cast each other a worried expression "We'll see if we can beat Buu without fusing, I like being me". The others looked at the crystal ball as Gogeta continued to dominate the fight. Gogeta slammed his foot into Buu's face and kicked him in the ribs. He back flipped over the monster and kicked him in the back. He placed his hands on Buu's back "Big Bang Attack!" The attack tore through Buu. He managed to regenerate again and stood before Gogeta with a face full of hate. Gogeta swept his foot, severing Buu's head with the kick! Buu regenerated and looked at his opponent "I won't lose!" Gogeta smiled cruelly "You have to the count of five and then I'm destroying you. 1. 2. 3. 4". Buu suddenly raised his arms as the purple blob engulfed Gogeta. Gogeta looked at it frantically as Buu drew the blob towards himself. His body began to change as he began to merge with the warrior. He gained the fusion clothing along with the blue sash around his waist, replacing his previous belt with the majin symbol.

Gohan and Trunks looked in disbelief and gave each other a conforming nod. They each gripped a Potara earring in their hand, hesitant to use them…
