Chapter Fifty-One: To Defeat and Evil One

As much as Piccolo hated it, he was the weakest one of the group and it was up to him to make sure Hercules got away safely, to alert the rest of the group about what had happened to the Majin Buu and make sure two saiyan children didn't try to fight the monster.

"Stay safe Gohan" Piccolo told his student as he picked up Hercules and got the now good Majin Buu to follow him. Gohan nodded to his sensei before the Namekian took off in the direction of the Son family home.

The fight got underway quickly as the grey monster went after Majin Buu not wanting the original out of sight, luckily for them there training had paid off and the where able to stop the grey monster from attacking the pink blob allowing Piccolo and the original to get away.

"He's even more powerful then the first Buu" Gohan exclaimed as he kneed the grey stick thin alien into the ground.

From his past experiences when one being spilt the power levels where decreased not increased like Majin Buu. He was powerful and he now knew why the kais had been so worried. He pondered if Buu had always been this strong, but choose not to access the strength for a reason.

Saiyan instincts where taking over and Vegeta and Goku where both toying with the new Buu drawing out the fight instead of fighting to defeat him as quickly as possible. Gohan could feel the urge to draw out the fight as well with his saiyan instincts but his human ones where stronger. He thought of his mother, Videl, Yamcha, Trunks and Goten and his grandparents and friends. The people in his life that he couldn't afford to lose, whom he was fighting to protect.

"Goku, Vegeta" Gohan called out to the two men. "You're letting instinct take over, we can't afford to play around with him." Gohan called out. Buu managing to punch Gohan in the face while he was distracted by talking. It stung but Gohan knew he could handle it.

"Your right Gohan" Goku replied with determination to keep on track and not let instinct take over.

"Don't be stupid, I haven't had a fight this good for a long time, I want to saver every moment of it." Vegeta replied in a cocky voice.

Still throwing punches and dodging and weaving around Gohan and Goku.

"Think of mum and Trunks, what happens if they die because you where toying around! What about if he gets stronger than us and started killing everyone on the different planets, killing Fruiche in the process?"

Vegeta's expression changed to one of horror when he thought of his family. Gohan knew exactly what buttons he needed to push to get Vegeta to respond and fight seriously.

"Kakarot, as much as I hate it we need to fuse" Vegeta told the other full blood saiyan.

Goku nodded in agreement. It was up to Gohan to keep evil Majin Buu busy while the two older men fused.

Gohan got in several ki blasts drawing Buu away from the two men, he raced away from his two fathers in a direction he knew wasn't occupied, the last thing he needed was for innocent people to get killed. He not only needed to protect the lives of the ones he loved but every person on the planet. Unfortunately not all lives could be saved, several animals had already been killed due to the conflict.

More punches, kicks and ki blasts where exchanged as they flew further away from Vegeta and Goku. The terrain below them changed from forest to desert and then to the ocean. Buu managed to knock Gohan into the water and flew in after the teenager. The fight taking place under water. Gohan briefly wondered if it was possible for Buu to drown as they stirred up the water. The sea life evacuating as far away from their location as possible. Fighting without breathing was taking it's tole on Gohan, he knew that he would black out if he didn't breath soon. Instead of having to try and make his way to the surface Buu blasted him in the stomach, any air he had left escaped as he was winded by the blast. The powerful blast pushed him out of the water and back into the sky. Gohan took in the much needed oxygen and threw a barrage of ki blasts at Buu who was still under water.

Vegeta powered up to his most powerful and Goku levelled out his power level to meet that of Vegeta. Feeling like an idiot Vegeta did the dance, Gohan doing a very good job of keeping Majin Buu busy while slowly powering up himself. The fusion was perfect and standing there in the place of Goku and Vegeta was a super saiyan fused man by the name of Gogeta. Majin Buu was busy so busy with Gohan that he didn't notice that Vegeta and Goku power had been replaced by another man, the two men the proceeded to power up even further. A power that Vegeta had never felt before, a power that Goku was quiet used to. Super saiyan level three.

The power level flowing off of Gotega was enough for Buu to stop concentrating on Gohan and move his attention to this new foe. He turned and looked at the land and began flying towards where there fight had originally started. Gohan hitting Buu into the ground at every chance he got as the monster flew towards Gotega.

"Amazing" Gohan exclaimed as he looked at the fused man when they had come back into view.

Buu then charged for the fusion and missed, he was too fast for him. The attention drawn from Gohan to the fused man allowed the youngest of the group to started powering up, testing his full strength of his training. Something he'd been looking forward to trying. He found that he couldn't turn super saiyan as he powered up beyond what had been his strongest beforehand. Something was in his way, a road block to his ki, but even with that he was more powerful than his father and step father. But he knew the elder kai had been right and that he knew this was the power, his hidden potential that had been unlocked in that long ritual.

The kai's had told him to use the great ape form to fight Majin Buu if he ever turned, but at the moment he didn't need it. Like Vegeta said it was to be a last resort since he still couldn't control himself.

Fusion didn't last long so they had to move quick if they were going to defeat Majin Buu.

Buu was fast and strong, it wasn't just a case of sending a blast at him and he'd be dead. They'd managed to send a few blasts at him destroying most of his body but he kept pulling himself back together and regenerating again and again.

Videl was highly concerned when Piccolo returned carrying her father with Majin Buu flying not far behind him, especially with no sign of Gohan anywhere.

"What happened?" Bulma was the first one to ask when Piccolo turned up.

He explained to them all how Buu had dispelled the evil from his body.

"We need to move in case he's retained Buu's memories" Piccolo told them all.

It didn't take long to gather everyone since all visitors had gone home all they had to move was Bulma and Trunks, Chi-Chi and Goten, Videl and Yamcha.

They used one of Bulma's capsule aeroplanes since they wouldn't give off ki in using it and the fact that Bulma was the only one of the group that couldn't fly. Chi-Chi had learnt how to fly while in the other world and flew to a location that Majin Buu had never been to before, Capsule Corporation.

Bulma then got to work at lining up one of the satellites to where Goku, Vegeta and Gohan where fighting so they could all watch.

"They move so fast" Bulma commented. "The satellite's camera is a high speed camera and it's only just catching glimpses of them.

"Buu make bad Buu" Buu pouted, seemingly upset with himself.

"But that's a good thing Buu" Hercules told him with much enthusiasm. "It means that you're no longer a threat to anyone and that you don't have to be under constant surveillance anymore. You're now fully a good person."

"Buu good?" Buu asked pointing to himself and then pointed to the tv "Buu bad? Buu hurt friend by creating bad Buu."

"Goku, Gohan and that scary man are going to the kill bad Buu, that's what they have been training for. Those three are going to make everything better."

"Okay, Buu cheer for friend" Buu started dancing and cheering in front of the tv.

"That's the idea Buu" Hercules told him joining in the cheer, as did the children.

"Uncle Yamcha, join us" Trunks yelled.

"I'm going to sit this one out" he told them with a nervous laugh before moving his attention back to the fight. It was different then years ago when he watched Goku on the sidelines, back then his concern had been for his friend but he knew his limits and was happy to stand aside and let his friend fight, and he still felt that way. But watching Gohan fight was a whole different matter, he wanted to go up there and challenge Buu himself, protecting Gohan even though he didn't stand a chance against the evil Buu and that Gohan was stronger than he could ever imagine being himself, and yet he still had the urge to protect him.

They had two recordings showing, one in real time and the other in slow motion.

Gotega was getting reckless in his fighting, the fusion was about to end and he knew that he had the best chance of beating Buu as one being then as multiple beings. Gohan's strength was amazing, he wasn't quiet as strong as the fused version of Vegeta and Goku but considering he was only one person and not even transformed, it wouldn't take much for him to surpass them once he was able to turn super saiyan again.

"Gohan, our only chance of defeating him is if Vegeta and I hold him down and sent your strongest ki blast at him to destroy him so he can't fuse together." The fused man told him in a quiet whisper while Buu streached his neck after the last blow he took.

"But that will kill you" Gohan told him in utter horror.

"Goku's already dead and Vegeta can be wished back with the Dragon Balls" he told Gohan putting his mind at ease.

Gohan took a calming breath before nodding at his fused father that he was ready.

Buu was still stretching as the next barrage of fists and blasts came towards him from Gotega. Gohan stood back from the group building up his energy for what would be the final attack. Building up his energy didn't take as long as it once did, he noticed that the build up had come quicker since his hidden potential had been unlocked.

Sensing that he was ready Gotega grabbed Evil Buu by his anetna, and rapping there body around his, raising their own power level to keep them in place. In a fluid motion Gohan blasted them with the Masenko, not holding back his power.

When the air cleared and the dust settled there was no sign of Majin Buu anywhere. But there was a very stunned Vegeta and equally stunned Goku both standing either side of the blast zone.

"What incredible timing to split" Goku commented looking at his hands as if to check he was really there.

"You mean I'm not dead?" Vegeta asked, expecting that to be a halo above his head.

They all stood in there spot waiting for the evil Majin Buu to return, but so far they hadn't detected anything.

"Goku" a booming voice was heard above them.

"Hi King Kai" Goku waved at the sky.

"I've confirmed with King Yemma that the evil incarnation of Majin Buu has been checked in and is getting dragged to hell as we speak. You and Chi-Chi have also been granted another twenty four hours on Earth so that you can spend proper time with your son before you come back." North Kai told the three men.

"We did it" Gohan shouted with disbelief and ran to Vegeta pulling his step-father into a hug. "I'm so glad I didn't kill you."

Vegeta just smiled at the affection he received, years ago he would've killed the boy for even thinking of touching him.

"We better get back and put the woman's mind at ease" Vegeta told him with a soft tone that was very rarely heard, once Gohan let go they all flew to Capsule Corp where they could now sense there family and friends power levels. They obviously already knew they won and Gohan gave the sky a knowing look. Gohan was glad that he didn't have to resort to the Oozaru form which he couldn't yet control. The last thing he wanted was to be responsible for destroying the planet himself.


Authors Note: This writer's block chapter is finally out of the way, the rest of the story should come a lot quicker now. Not happy with this chapter, but then I never am with any of the chapters that contain fights.
