Last Resort
Twelve seconds ago, another epic, drama-filled battle had ended in yet another tragedy. It had been just one more, technically, even at the localized level. Today, the universe had witnessed heroism at it`s best and villainy at it`s worst, watching the inhabitants of a planet die out so completely that nothing was left above the single celled level other than a few token survivors, and then it had watched as a few bold warriors fought to try and bend the rules of life and death to bring everything back to the way it had been, only to be stopped by one heinous demon that seemed to know no bounds.
Twelve seconds ago, there had been a scream the likes of which most people spent their time praying to never hear. The scream had been caused by the destruction of the once beautiful, then barren world known as Earth, and the scream had been produced by the vocals of a sixteen year old girl by the name of Videl Satan. The scream was simply a name, it hadn`t needed to be anything else to get the point across and in truth, she couldn`t really think of anything else to say at the time. It was just one of those moments where anything less was wrong and anything more was just too much.
"GOHAN!!!"
And it sounded again, because thirteen seconds ago, two lives had ended. Death had finally laid claim on Son Gohan and Cell Junior, though nobody was going to be mourning for the second of the two anytime soon.
Videl Satan had done many things in her life, even if she was only sixteen years old. She had fought in, and so far had won out in every Tenkaichi Budoukai she had been in, becoming the first person to win both the Junior and Senior tournaments, in a row no less, as well as becoming the first female fighter to do either in all of the tournament`s long history. She had learned how to fight, she had developed a few oddball magic powers that simply appeared when she needed them and she had witnessed a good many harsh battles in her lifetime.
There had also been a few times where she`d been turned into an emotional wreck, not many, but it happened with any normal teen and it happened with Videl too. Most of the times she had ever cried it came out of frustration or exhaustion, the few times she had cried for other reasons could probably be counted on one hand, and most of those tended to involve the youth that had just died in some way or another.
Gohan`s family and his mutual friends with Videl were all a good bit taken aback as well. Goku showed his shock the least, surprisingly enough. He hadn`t ever expected to outlive his first son, no parent did, but given his own experience with death, he didn`t much feel very grievous. Piccolo was about at the same level, both he and Goku were dreadfully silent, exchanging only empty glances from time to time. Goten was disturbingly unphased, the boy was either in shock or so focused on something else that he wasn`t paying attention.
Trunks had about the same reaction, bar the infrequent wince and the occasional lip quiver that came as a result of having thought of the newly deceased son of his father`s rival, whom he thought of like an adoptive older brother in a sense, being dead. Zangya wasn`t exactly openly grievous, she had a bit of excess moisture in her eyes but given that the woman wasn`t really one of the best at conveying her emotions, she was oddly reserved for the moment, simply wiping her eyes with a small nod to herself and glancing around. Dende was sitting on the ground holding his head in his hands in disbelief and Hercule was just focusing on trying to soothe his daughter while Bob was shaking his head and Shibito was muttering curses to himself.
Vegeta on the other hand -
"Table your grief for now! We can mourn him later but Buu will be here in a matter of seconds!"
- handled his emotions with more of a warrior`s attitude for it than anything else. Grief could come when they actually had time for it, but he wasn`t exactly winning much agreement from the others present. "Stop being a dick, Vegeta," Goku ordered angrily. "I just lost my son back there..."
"I know that you stupid bastard, but Buu will be here any second now!" Vegeta replied sharply. "If we`re all turned into puddles of angsty slop then there`s no point in trying to fight back!" He pointed out loudly, just as a resounding crack echoed in the distance, pink lightning crashing out of a black cloud to arc through the skies.
"... Grand," Zangya muttered, lowering down into a fighting stance. "Here he comes," Piccolo growled with a snort, just as all of the warriors collected began to gather up their power. It wasn`t going to be an easy fight by any means, they probably wouldn`t win and they knew that all too well, but regardless of who won, they were intent on making sure that Buu didn`t walk away without a nice number of scars and bruises, even if the little brat could regenerate through them.
Cut my life into pieces
"END OF THE LINE!!!" Buu screamed, landing in front of the group and charging forward with a feral, sadistic laugh, passing right by Piccolo and Zangya to nail Vegeta in the stomach, contorting his own body an instant later to kick Goku in the face before straightening back up, grabbing both Saiyans and slamming their heads together in a flash of movement, only to sling forward as Goten, still in the second level of Super Saiyan, joined the fray, elbowing Buu in the small of the back and lashing out repeatedly in such a way that he seemed to vanish into a golden fireball of fists and feet, battering the genocidal little demon with everything he could bring to bear only to fly back and skid along the surface of a lake almost a half a mile away when Buu promptly smacked him.
This is my last resort
"Can`t you use those gems?" Piccolo asked, glancing down at Zangya while Trunks made his bid to attack Buu. "... I didn`t want to," Zangya replied dryly, only to cut off any witty reply that Piccolo could have made to try and force her into doing it. "But I guess I got them back out for just such an occasion," she muttered, reaching up to the necklace and gingerly taking a grip of the gem attached to it, promptly vanishing into a pillar of light an instant later.
Suffocation, no breathing
"SCREW YOU!" Trunks screamed, diving hard beneath a vicious punch that sent force flying through the air to put a fist sized dent into a mountain more than three miles away. The demi-saiyan child was more skilled and far more precise though, landing on his hands and springing back to tag Buu squarely across the jaw and carry himself to swing up and stand on the little demon`s chin, backflipping up, twisting out of the way of Buu`s head tail and crashing his elbow angrily into the demon child`s skull, only to screech an instant later as Buu`s head tail liquified, vanishing back into his head and reappearing a moment later, already wrapping around Trunks` throat.
"DIE!!!" Buu howled, cocking his head back and then flinging it forward in the same way someone would headbang at a concert, causing his tail to sling Trunks towards the ground while at the same time strangling him.
Don`t give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding
"No!" Goku shouted sternly, planting his foot squarely into the kid Buu`s stomach and using his own body to cushion Trunks` impact into the ground, catching the boy and swinging him around by his wrists to kick Buu across the face, wrenching him free of the demon`s tail in the process. "Owe ya one," Trunks commented through a coughing fit as Goku set him down, then jumped backwards, dodged past Majin Buu`s randomly aimed kick and elbowed him in the gut once again, this time trying to force Buu off of the ground.
"YOU DIE TOO!!!" Buu screamed, liquifying his stomach in a manner that caused Goku to lose his balance, going right through the little demon as it backflipped, kicking him hard across the forehead and literally extending it`s legs out hundreds of feet in the process, just as Vegeta returned to the fray, catching Buu off gaurd with a flurry of kicks and punches, causing Buu to forget about Goku and return his focus to the other fighters, just as Piccolo made his presence known, lashing out angrily and crashing across Buu`s cheek with a kick that could shatter mountains easily.
Buu only grit his teeth and kneed Vegeta in the stomach, wrapping around Piccolo tightly with his arm as it snaked out and covered the Namek like some sort of rope, then using it to smack Vegeta across the face with Piccolo`s head, flinging the former Kami into the Saiyan Prince an instant later and blasting both of them over at Goku.
With a sick laugh, Buu lunged at the group again, only to shriek in pain as a shimmering rope of some kind whipped up out of no where and wrapped around his body, constricting tightly and holding onto his upper arms before a solid yank veered him off course and sent the demon skidding hard, face first into the ground.
"Forgetting someone?!" Zangya asked snidely, promptly yanking the string-rope up and towards herself, tearing Buu out of the ground and into a vicious punch into the middle of the face, crumpling Buu`s head into the main portion of his body. The reason she had taken up wearing a set of Saiyan battle armor was blaringly obvious though, while her hair was now a solid, bloody shade of red, and her skin a lime tint of green, her body mass and power both increased quite dramatically, to the extent that most of Zangya`s regular clothing would`ve been shredded in an instant. The nature of the material of the battle armor though - including the bluish spandex-like parts - managed to hold quite nicely.
"Now I know why she doesn`t use those gems," Vegeta growled as he and Piccolo rolled free of each other, staggering up to their feet uneasily. "She looks ugly as shit," he pointed out with a smirk. "Reminds me of what a Namek woman would look like, actually," Piccolo replied dryly. "... Oh goody, you should both get married and have children to commemorate the fact that both of you are ugly green shits!" Vegeta quipped with a biting sarcasm, earning only a silently condemning, 'screw you' kind of glare in that oddball language of expression he and the Namek had developed over the years.
"You should really see yourself right now Piccolo, it somehow makes all of this fighting worth while," Vegeta snickered insultingly. "... Just... Shut... Up..." Piccolo growled before diving back into battle, followed by a maniacally cackling Prince Vegeta.
Would it be wrong, would it be right
If I took my life tonight
Chances are that I might
Mutilation out of sight
And I`m contemplating suicide
"We need to come up with some kind of plan," Bob commented as the battle rapidly progressed ahead of them. "But what?" Shibito asked. "I doubt any of us would do much good," Dende pointed out annoyedly. "I`m only decent enough to put up barriers he can`t break through easily and I`m low on power, you`re too old, he`s not powerful enough and Hercule and Videl both aren`t exactly strong fighters here," the young Kami stated darkly.
Then they started hearing something crackle behind them. Bob quirked up an eyebrow, Shibito contemplated just blowing his own head off and Dende sardonically glared at his feet. "I forgot about that little catch," he grumbled, just before an explosion of purple lightning threw all three of them, along with a haplessly shocked Hercule and a yelping Bee, flying off of the small hill they had been occupying, just as Videl stood back up, growling like some sort of demon in her own right.
"Little catch?!" Bob yelled annoyedly at Dende while Videl started walking forward, angrily glaring past all three of them and heading for the battle, surrounded by a purple-tinged aura of electricity, setting even her halo to take on something of a grim look to it, tinging it from whitish gold to goldish black, edged off with a bit of dark purple. Even her hair looked angry, raising up as the bands holding her hair into pigtails all but shattered, vaporizing an instant later as the teenaged girl stuck a hand out, her aura gradually twisting into her own grasp before taking an all-too-familiar shape and solidifying somehow, magic made manifest.
"I`ll make you pay," Videl growled, still walking at a slow pace towards the ever increasingly violent melee, the Silence Glaive firmly grasped by both hands a second later. "For everything you did to everyone," she added firmly, even as the weapon started sparking at it`s forked blade.
Cause I`m losin` my sight
"ALL OF YOU WILL DIE!!!" Buu screamed, decking Trunks across the face and at the same time, kicking Zangya in the side, sending the two crashing into each other only to backflip up and over Vegeta, lunging forward and making his attack again, only to find it blocked as Goku reappeared, throwing a forearm into the demon`s path and giving Vegeta the crucial time to backflip up and kick Buu in the face with both feet, throwing the little demon back a few feet while Goten appeared, slamming into Buu shoulder-first with a scream.
By the time Buu had recovered, Goku was all over him with every punch the living legend could throw, trying to overwhelm the demon on sheer force alone only to take a stiff punch to the gut and falter back, promptly twisting out as Buu kicked him across the cheek, sending him crashing into the ground an instant later only to spring back up, hair trailing behind him like some sort of cape.
"KAME HAME H-" Goku was promptly cut off from finishing his attack, halted as Buu`s attack came in the middle of putting his hands forward to fire the beam and leaving Goku disoriented for several seconds. It cost Vegeta dearly though, since the Prince charged in at the exact moment that Goku faltered back, only to watch Majin Buu twist out of the way by inches and cackle insanely while sucker punching the Saiyan warrior right in the small of the back with a sickening snap.
A second pass as Goku went on the attack again, flinging under the screaming Vegeta only to be smacked aside as Buu grabbed Piccolo by the leg at the last instant, just as the Namek had been ready to throw a kick, using the larger warrior like a flailing weapon to send Goku flying after Vegeta, with both warriors slamming violently into the ground and skidding alongside each other to a complete stop a good distance away.
Wish somebody would tell me I`m fine
"Kah... Kakarot," Vegeta panted out, propping himself up on his elbows painfully as Goku hauled himself to his feet, only lightly hurt by being smacked with the equivelent of Piccolo baseball bat. "Yeah?" Goku asked, glancing down worriedly at Vegeta as the Prince dragged himself to sit up at the edge of the trench his body had made, seemingly unable to stand up at the moment. "I think my back`s broken," Vegeta wheezed out, trying to collect his wits again. "That`s not good," Goku stated surprisedly, recieving a 'no shit, Sherlock' type of glare from Vegeta in reply. "Can you try and use ki to puppet yourself?" Goku asked.
"No," Vegeta replied, still breathing hard. Piccolo went streaking by overhead with a sonic boom, smashing into the ground with a thunderous explosion off in the distance as Vegeta took a deep breath and glared from the demon that had broken his spine to the girl that was walking over towards it at a methodically slow pace. "I have an idea though," Vegeta grit out, glaring back up at Kakarot even as the last bit of feeling in his legs faded away.
"Eh?"
"Geh... Get Kaibito or Shibito or whatever the hell his name is, to teleport Dende to Namek," Vegeta ordered, promptly passing out before he could continue. "... Shit," Goku growled, glaring over at Buu.
Nothing`s alright
In a blur of shockwaves, Goten and Trunks, followed a few seconds later by Zangya, were back in the fray, striking at Buu repeatedly and finding every blow they threw lead to four that they had to block. Buu`s lack of technique was more than compensated by a virtually endless supply of energy, and his lack of size was compensated for by being able to expand his body, as well as speed and strength that seemed to jump from around the same level as Goku`s own at his present state to high enough that Gohan would`ve been hard pressed to try and fight regardless of the conditions.
"I don`t think we can win!" Trunks shouted in despair, dodging past one of Buu`s fists only to yelp in shocked pain when the demon backhanded him across the neck, while Goten sprang up and kicked at Buu`s forehead, missing badly only only to recover with the same level of skill that his father had worked decades to earn, crashing both knees into Buu`s hand, then flipping forward, spreading his entire body out and compressing himself as best he could to complete the flip and headbutt Buu in the side of the face, leaving the way wide open for Zangya to lash out several times, catching Buu off gaurd with a backhand, a straight punch and a number of rapid kicks to follow things up before Buu sprang back and kicked her squarely across the chin, sending the woman careening towards the upper atmosphere and leaving Goten to handle himself alone.
"I`LL KILL YOU!!!" Buu screamed loudly, throwing a wild haymaker at Goten, who ducked underneath it, jumped up and spin out of the way of Buu`s tail, kicking the little demon in the side of the head before putting a bit of ki into his right hand and trying to smack Buu with a shout. "NOT IF I KILL YOU FIRST!!!" He screamed, barely missing his attack and finding himself smashed in the gut by Buu`s shoulder.
Nothing is fine
An instant passed by as an eternity for the mind of Son Goten as he lay there, draped across the genocidal runt`s shoulder before finding himself brutally flung to the ground, pinned by his shoulders while Buu howled, the tip of his tail suddenly becoming sharper than a dagger over the course of a split second as Goten squirmed around, finally giving up when Buu pressed his shoulders into the ground to such an extent that the dirt began to crumble.
"NOW DIE!!!"
I`m running and I`m crying
Buu was going to kill him, right then and there. He would have too, it was all but pre-destined from the looks of things, but instead of ever being able to do that, Buu groaned in agony and found himself pried off of young Goten as the Silence Glaive stabbed ruthlessly into the middle of his back with both blades, igniting a fiery pain within the miniature planet destroyer as the youngest Son sprang back up to his feet, on the verge of attacking out of sheer reflex.
He didn`t though. The sight before him was shocking enough to break even natural reflexes, namely the sight of Majin Buu screaming his lungs out with an enraged expression as he was held aloft by the Silence Glaive currently being used to impale him from behind, held by an even more enraged, outright divinely vengeful looking Videl Satan, hair flowing around as a purple-black fire had risen up all around her and the weapon she was using, her eyes blanked out by a neon purple glow, clothing still the same but skin a little paler than usual.
"Why don`t you?" She asked, just as Buu screamed from being shocked as a magic-based series of lightning bolts exploded off of the blades of the Glaive, all of them either occuring within Buu or arcing away to hit him directly. It was the kind of sight that could frighten someone badly, and even Goten, a child who`d already seen more than a few frightening things as it was in his brief lifetime, felt a tinge of fear at what was happening before him.
Buu on the other hand, just screamed and flailed around on the weapon, even as Videl tilted it in such a way that the blades were aimed skyward. "I HATE MAGIC!!!" Buu howled through the first pain that anyone had inflicted on it in eons. His hatred for magic was well grounded though, given that Majin Buu was made from a combination of excess bubblegum, a few hundred demon spirits, a grand deal of magic and a literal sweet tooth, it left him vulnerable to few things. Being chewed on, exorcised religiously, being zapped by the magic equivelent of having a lightning rod rammed through him in the middle of a thunderstorm and/or being deprived of sugar-based junk food were all among them.
"Videl?" Goten asked, uneasily straightening up as the teenaged girl mumbled something under her breath and used the Silence Glaive to smack Buu into the ground, promptly giving him the chance to free himself by stabbing his still-sharpened head tail into the ground as an anchor, allowing the blades of the Glaive to slice their way back out and somehow ignoring the undescribable agony of the magics that were still tearing him asunder long enough to charge forward and try to attack the youth head-on.
I never realized I was spread too thin
Till it was too late and I was empty within
Hungry, feeding on chaos and living in sin
Downward spiral, where do I begin
"And I hate you," Videl growled, apparently not even having heard Goten as she slashed out, possessing neither the speed or physical power of any of the other warriors but more than making up for it in the fact that the result was still the same. Buu screeched as an inches-deep gash run across the right side of his chest, virtually from no where, only to heal like the prior stabbing wounds a few seconds later as the little demon backed away and growled.
"Videl?!" Goten shouted to try and get her attention, slowly moving to stand next to the girl but maintaining a bit of distance from her aura. "What?!" Videl finally barked after several seconds, still completely focused on Buu despite the question. "... Nevermind," Goten muttered, lunging forward at Buu and striking out several times. The little demon dodged each attack despite his attacker`s uncanny speed and agility, kicking Goten aside and touching back down onto the ground on all fours with a feral growl. "NOW YOU DIE!!!" Buu screamed, a glow beginning to radiate out of his mouth only to be stopped instantly as Son Goku dropped back into the fight in every sense of the word, slamming both of his feet into the small of Buu`s back from above and driving the little demon face first into the ground with cratering force.
Goku backflipped off of Majin Buu, landing on one hand with both legs bent at the knee, the tips of his boots grinding into the turf lightly for all of a fraction of a millisecond before he dodged to the side in anticipation, allowing Buu to irately lash out at where he had landed only to tap two fingers to his forehead and vanish, reappearing instantly behind Buu on the ground.
A number of thunderous impacts rang out as the two fighters battled sideways across the landscape, never turning to face one another once in the process, striking out with elbows and mule kicks, backhands and awkwardly fired ki blasts before Buu finally broke the pattern of the fighting, slinging a hand onto Goku`s shoulder and then swinging around ala Tarzan to crash both knees into the Saiyan`s face, leaving Goku a little on the bloodier side of things before jumping up over Buu`s follow-up and grabbing the demonic runt by the tail, flipping himself upright and landing on his feet before swinging Buu around to impact into the ground with a thunderous roar.
It all started when I lost my mother
No love for myself and no love for another
Searching to find a love upon a higher level
Finding nothing but questions and devils
"I HATE YOU! GO AWAY!!!" Buu commanded angrily, letting off a massive blast of energy that threw Goku back by hundreds of feet, only for the genocidal brat to find himself all but fried by another bolt of magic-based lightning, flinging him into the wall of his own crater before another bolt sent the entire area that Majin Buu had already blasted out himself into detonating in an even larger explosion, though this one later off no sort of shockwave and it didn`t even cause the air to rush around near the location of the blast.
Goku landed with a hard skid as Buu rocketed back up out of the blast, badly scorched and mad as hell by any description, touching down and dodging past a third bolt to close the distance with Videl in a blindingly fast instant, knocking the girl across the cheek and watching her aura promptly burn out, followed an instant later by a clank and a thud as the Silence Glaive smacked into the ground, dropped from the impact.
A bleeding, unconcious Videl Satan continued onward in the air for several seconds before smacking hard into Zangya as she touched down, knocking the muscular femme fatale back several feet and at the same time, being caught by her. "Fancy meeting you here," Zangya commented dryly, setting Videl, who now sported a deep gash across one cheek, down onto the ground before standing back up straight and watching as Goku charged back in, meeting Buu blow for blow for several seconds before the little demon overwhelmed him, slipping past the skilled Saiyan warrior`s defenses and sending him flying back down into the ground a few seconds later.
"I really hate days like this," Zangya growled, watching again when Goten and Trunks charged back into the miniature war that had broken out on Kaioshin-kai, sending off flurries of punches and kicks as best they could, while Buu blocked every single one of them with nothing but a loud, psychotic laugh, jumping up and kicking both in the gut with a split and then punching them both in the face before gravity could even set in. Both boys went flying back, both bruised badly and both grinding their teeth fiercely, right into Zangya`s arms, again rocking the short woman back a few feet before she righted herself, setting the two down on their feet and dashing forward.
"DIE DIE DIE!!!" Buu screamed, whipping out with his tail only to watch as Zangya dodged to the side, leaving behind a solid after image that hurt to touch, followed by dozens more as the woman closed the gap between herself and Buu, jumping over the little runt at the last second and allowing all of her after images to slam hard into him, knocking Buu off balance for just long enough for Zangya to catch herself on her hands and swing her entire lower body out like a whip, knocking out his legs and leaving him airborn for a second only to have Son Goku slam into his back, shoulder first, sending Buu skyward with a backhand an instant later.
"We may have a chance at this yet," Zangya commented, wheezing the words out while leaning her upper weight onto her hands, which were resting on her knees. "I don`t think so," Goku replied uneasily. "I`m starting to lose power," he added worriedly. "Then we`ll just have to finish it at the first opening," Zangya replied with a smirk. "Too bad, I was actually starting to enjoy myself," Goku replied with a sarcastic smirk of his own. He didn`t like these life-or-death battles anymore, but that didn`t mean the Zangya Effect of sarcastic camaraderie didn`t work on him.
Cause I`m losin` my sight
Losin` my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I`m fine
Nothing`s alright, nothing is fine
"This is suicide," Trunks muttered. "I don`t even think suicide comes close," Goten replied darkly, glancing down at Videl worriedly as Hercule started running towards the three of them, concern more than painted across his face. "Any ideas?" Trunks asked, watching Goku and Zangya charge in at Buu, intent on trying to finish the battle as soon as possible. He could sense Goku`s power starting to slowly drop and it wasn`t a very pleasant thought given that Goku was presently the only person in the entire collection of people who had the power to actually deal with Buu head on.
"Can we fuse yet?" Goten asked.
"No, I`m straining just to stay beyond Super Saiyan..."
"... Same," Goten admitted after several seconds, thinking quietly to himself. "Can`t you just pull some new technique outta nowhere or something?" Trunks asked uneasily as a shockwave almost toppled both boys over, and did send Hercule off of his feet while Videl was inched along in the dirt. "... Gimme a second," Goten replied with the same uneasiness as his friend, diving into the memories he had retained from Bojack until he ran across two very special instances.
"I`ve got two I can pull off right now but I can`t do both," Goten stated.
"What are they?" Trunks asked, shielding his eyes from the resounding blast of light that sent Zangya crashing to the ground and left Goku to deal with Buu alone for the duration. "Thunder Claw Attack and something called a Spirit Bomb," Goten replied. "Pick one," he ordered. Trunks spent several seconds thinking to himself before basing his choice off of the same thing any normal kid his age would use as an excuse for something.
"Spirit Bomb sounds cooler, so try that one," the older boy ordered, trying to sound confident and smart in the process. "Alright," Goten replied, fading out of Super Saiyan and jumping up into the air, not bothering with conventional chants or anything like that, instead reaching out across Kaioshin-kai after establishing the beginnings of the attack. "Wha...?" Trunks facefaulted. "Shouldn`t you be in Super Saiyan? You didn`t run out of power, did you?!" He yelped. "No, but it`s better to do this normally," Goten remembered, almost immediately hearing a voice that proved audible to Trunks as well.
"I always knew he`d teach one of my techniques to someone else," the voice stated annoyedly. "... Am I going insane or did you hear that too?" Trunks asked, glancing up at Goten sardonically. "... Well then we`re both nuts," the younger boy replied dryly as Hercule, yelling out something about trying to ignore demons in his head as he jumped the remaining distance to his daughter`s side. "Not quite boys," the voice said after a nasal-sort of laugh.
"My name is King Kaio, and if you`re going to use my best technique, then you`d best do it properly," the short god ordered from an unbelievable distance away. "... Yeah, we`re both nuts," Goten commented sarcastically, trying to forcibly pull energy from the surrounding countryside. "THAT ISN`T HOW YOU DO IT!!!" King Kaio reprimanded angrily. Goten stopped instantly, looking as though someone had just caught him stealing food. Again.
"Good, now this is going to take a bit of planning but we can still pull it off. Trunks, I can`t order around the Kaioshin so I need you to go tell them to take Dende to New Namek, they already know the situation. Hercule, I`m not a demon in your head so shut up and keep an eye on Goten, Buu won`t attack you so keep in his path if he tries to attack him, got it?" King Kaio asked as Trunks darted off towards Dende and the two oddball Kaioshin, kicking up a small trail of dust in the process.
"... Uh... Hey, `Ten, you hearin` that?" Hercule asked uneasily, getting to his feet as Bee peaked his head out. "Yes, now do what he said," Goten ordered dryly.
I`m running and I`m crying
I can`t go on
Living this way
"DIE!!!" Buu howled, throwing off a series of rapid punches in vain. Goku dodged, winding around the small demon and sandwhiching his head in between a pair of overpowered blasts that shocked the little runt senseless for several seconds, leaving him wide open to a field goal styled kick as Goku drifted back, wiping the blood from around his mouth with a drab, dark expression.
"Shit," Goku thought, reflexively imagining the sound he had mentally assigned to whenever he passed that last point of no return that signaled he was out of power. It was the sound of ChiChi screaming at him over one of the dozens of times he had shattered a glass cup or bowl on accident.
It was the sign that heralded his power all but dying.
Which is exactly what it did. In a flash of golden light and a crack of thunder, Goku`s hair almost whipped back into place like some sort of rubber band, his eyes losing their irises and fading back to their usual black tone as the golden aura and the golden tint of his hair both faded out, leaving him back at his usual self, albeit quite a bit bloody with a few rips to his clothing and more than a little visible strain at just trying to keep airborn for the time being.
Not a good thing when Buu was charging in at full speed with an insane scream, tortured air shattering with the sound barrier dozens of times a second in the process.
"TIME TO DIE!!!"
CysticLOL17: Thus is the greatest irony of the most intense enemies: They`d usually make good friends if they dropped the beef long enough to actually speak to one another. Originally I had considered her being wracked with sobbing and all, but after a while I figured that it`d be way too cliched, yanno? And yeah, nice to see the other rivals(Goku and Vegeta, Piccolo and Zangya, Goten and Trunks) all working together for once, eh? As for Gohan and Cell... They`re dead man. *Shrugs.*
Professor Authordude: They did, didn`t they? BOB!
Mystic SSJ3 Gohan: Half the fun is learning that the heroes just lost their best chance and now have to think something else up on the fly. Therefore, you have Goten pulling a Spirit Bomb out of his ass. The question here is: Will it work? I`m also kinda guessing the rest of your review got cut out by FF.net for some reason or another, feel free to mail it sometime if ya want :P
W.V.F.: Like I said: Half the fun is learning that the heroes just lost their best chance and now have to think something else up on the fly. And yeah, Vegeta seemed to get his ass kicked more and more after going SSJ, though I`m not too sure about the sexual molestation thing you thought up. For one thing, I highly doubt Akira Toriyama(the original creator of DB/DBZ) would ever write anything about that. For another, Vegeta was basically reduced from a Prince to an errand boy who wasn`t even close to the top of the proverbial food chain and got passed up for the Ginyu Force by a four eyed, pimply green midget named after milk. One would think that`d leave ya just a LITTLE bitter, don`t you? And Shibito was kinda pressed for time, any longer and he would`ve just gotten them all killed, while they were the closest to where he popped up.
Yume/Rayearth010: Yay! As for why I killed Gohan... *Points up.* I don`t think I need to repeat mehself a third time, do I? :/ As for your first fic, log in next time and I`ll follow it through your profile :D
cobra: Cell Junior`s strength is something even I`m puzzled over. You factor in the whole mess about how Cell Senior grew two or three times as powerful by coming back from what was left of his regenerative lump(probably a result of the Saiyan DNA) and it becomes a mess, while if you leave it to be explained about Kaio Ken(something he`s been proved as being able to do), that still doesn`t fully explain it because he`d have to be injured constantly to pull such a thing off. On a rough guestimate though, I`d say he started Generations off as Gohan`s greater equal in actual power(but not speed), and by the time he popped up again he was probably close to, or right at the bottom power levels for SSJ3. Still not sure though, so take that with a grain of salt.
diamondgirl: *Points up again.* Sh33p no repeat self again >P As for the Bob thing... I was really wondering if anyone would pick up the fact that he never says "God damn" and only "Me damn" :P And yeah, CJ wouldn`t be the only one to keel over and die laughing if he got his way, simply because of the look I can see on Gohan`s face... *Imagines.*
Gohan: *Blasts Sh33p to hell. Then adjusts his halo accordingly. Stomps off.*
Ow. *Dusts self off and calmly heads for the exit.*
That`s all for now folks! Sh33p out and see ya next time!
