Howdy Ho, Heroes and bros. So, Super Buu is coming, Fusions be training. Bardock is awake and crippled. Broly is awake and crippled. Z sword has been broken. Fighting is close.

Fun times, Brave Heroes!

The mid day sun beat down over the rocky wasteland. A light breeze gently caressed the rocky hills. Small pebbles break from the nearby cliff faces. Occupying the open clear land is the bulbous concrete house, shaped into the outline of a laying dog. Majin Buu's house.

To think. Majin Buu: Home owner. Don't ask him to pay taxes... and by all technicality, A few thousand people live here... using the loosest definition of 'live'. Little justification can help when all thosenlives are lost to become the very building material.

Well, as many aliens would claim, a foundation must be built on something. No, that's the work of the OLD Buu. Now, only three true inhabitants live here. An afro man teaching rhe ways of life to a naive fat boy and his dog.

… A gunshot rings out in the land.

. . .

Jeez. How long has it been? The tranquil lands of the Kai were once again soothing... and had been for about 15 hours! Goku and Shin sat together, a crystal orb in front of the two. Goku's face was scrunched in thought, peering off away from the clear clean waters of a lake in front of him.

"You think this could actually work? I mean, I trust the guy, but I'm not really seeing any real improvement."

Atop a grassy hill sat Gohan. The better part of a day ago, the boy broke the Z Sword before Goku's and Shin's eyes. He'd also lie if he said he didn't think of Future Trunks' sword breaking in that moment. Actually, swords break a lot around them.

The group freaked out initially, though Goku was ever the optimist. That sword was HEAVY, and Gohan swiftly gained leaps and bounds just adjusting to its use. Maybe he could fight Buu now?

However, that brought them to the... newcomer? Oldcomer? After teaching the fusion dance to the children, he couldn't help but picture the unexpected ally as if Shin fused with Master Roshi. In fact, that's exactly how it was.

Across from Gohan sat a purple man with white hair, wrinkles, wearing the same outfit as Shin. They'd taken to calling him Old Kai, which thankfully stuck! The old man had beej sealed inside the Z Sword itself! So, them breaking it was a good thing! Right?

Upon learning of the situation, the old man claimed to have the ability to unlock the absolute pinnacle of one's abilities. The Ultimate power... Supposedly unlocked by a ritual.

They'd agreed until the Old Kai's rather... forward demands, a kiss from a beautiful woman. Stopping Gohan from ripping the Kai in two, Goku offered who else? Bulma. Thus, the ritual began... 15 hours ago.

Shin looks on the two with absolute confidence. "I cannot doubt my ancestor. If he says he knows of an old method to attain this power, I must have absolute faith in him."

Goku blinks wide eyes at the Kai. "You think so?"

"Well..." The short purple man flushes with embarrassment. "It is true, he acts quite... improper, but a Kai is always truthful." The short man flinches, gasping. "What is this?"

Goku snaps his attention to the viewing globe, eyes focused. "What is it?"

The two huddled next to the ball, looking at the image of the dog-like structure, watching Fat Buu spewing out blue smoke from all holes. Shin gulps. "I'm not sure, but I have a bad feeling about this."

. . .

"What... is that?" Dende whispers, eyes wide. Beside him, Piccolo scowls, clenching his fists. "It's like... a whole other power is just appearing? And it's much darker."

The elder Namekian snapped around, Looking at Raditz and Nappa. "It's like the Supreme Kai said. I fear this might be the last stand he spoke of." He looks to Krillin. "Get the kids ready, this might be the moment!"

"Right!" The monk sprints off. He rushes past Gine, off to the resting children. The female Saiyan gulps, centering herself as she joins the Nameks, Raditz, and Nappa.

At that exact moment, the Lookout shakes. Lightly. Barely a feasible tremor. The pressure of two powers fighting one another. Piccolo grits his teeth. "This is bad..."

. . .

The ground shook, Broly staggering, but catching himself. Bardock growls out in pain, neither of the two able to stand straight. As the shaking goes to make them stumble again, Bardock's tail swings and latches onto a tree for support.

The forest around them shuddered with the quake, animals running wild. The elder of the two grits his teeth, glaring to the distance. "What the hell? Why are there TWO Buus?" He tilts his head towards Broly. "Can you fly yet?"

Broly seizes, eyes wide at sensing the two power houses. He swallows thick, nodding his head. "I think so." With a wince, he focuses his little strength. Pulling up, the two rise from the ground together. Bardock adds as much power as he can, barely keeping the two up.

"Alright, let's hurry up and-" Eye snap back in the direction of the monster... One power, murderous in intent, enveloping the other. "Correction... We HAVE to hurry up."

The two Saiyans begin drifting through the air at a slow pace.

. . .

They-... the two powers merged? "AHH!" The group turns to find Erasa falling onto her butt. The group rushed over, Videl helping her first.

"Erasa, what are you- WOAH!" the Satan girl flinches back, blinking wide. The others turn the corner, right where they'd left Android 16's cookie.

And sitting on that very ground is the upper torso up as 16 turns his head to look at them. "... Hello, friends."

Erasa and Videl simply stare with wide eyes. Speaking in unison. "H-hey..."

Bulma brightens up. "16! You're fixed! Well, relatively."

Piccolo's eyes widen. All the ki users on the Lookout, even Videl, feel a massive spike. The sheer malice coming from the power completely eclipses the Buu they'd felt before. Yamcha couldn't help but stammer out with wide eyes. "Y-you guys feel that..?"

Focus pulled away as Videl dropped to her knees, breathing shallow. "Feel it? I-... It's suffocating!"

Krillin emerges, the three children in tow. "Whoa! What am I feeling?" He gulps, turning to the kids. All three shudder, staggered with senses going haywire. "I think it might be go time."

Trunks gulps, a grin forming. He turns to the brown haired Raunch. "You ready?"

The girl's shaken core catches on. A stuttered breath as her hair turns blue. She nods. "Ready!" Both children roar out. "HA!" Two super saiyan auras burst to life, sliding away from on another to the measured distance.

The Namekian leader snaps around. "Wait! We don't know-"

The group turns back in the direction of Buu. The spike continued, deeper and deeper and deeper depths of power coming to fruition. And the power moves. Not erratic pattern. No, its traveling in a straight line.

Right for them. Trunks grins. "Go time!" Both children step in, arms overhead in. "Fuuuu-"

Piccolo turns fully to them. "No! Stop!"

Hands snap out, legs hiked. "-Sion!" They step out, fingers going in and matching flawlessly. "HA!" The two glowing bodies merge together in a flash, merging to a single being.

Black shoes with an orange-red ankle wrap to white pants, an orange-red sash with slightly darker wristbands, that same strange vest, brown with darker, almost gold bordering for the shoulders and collar. Raunks' former blue hair with lavender spikes out behind, the former lavender bangs spiked sideways curve up.

The Super Saiyan fusion stands with a smirk and hand on their hip. "It'll be fine!" the two voices overlap. "I got this."

Goten blinked at them. "You sure about that? Buu beat us real bad before."

Raunks whips around at the boy, flustered and angry. "Shut up! I'm a powerful fusion that will win with my hands tied!"

The snapping nature jolts Goten back. He chuckles weakly. "Okay, so... boy or girl?"

The fusion, more feminine than Gonch if only slightly, twitches their eyes at the boy. "Go with girl! That satisfy your stupid question?" The fusion jerks away, looking over the Lookout.

"Okay..." Goten mutters, confused.

"Oh no." Bulma face palms. At the questioning glance from 18 and Roshi, she waves them off. "Give it a minute to be sure."

Piccolo turns square at the fusion. "Raunks, stand down! You'll draw Buu right to us!"

The fusion flinches at the tone, but her face scrunches in anger. "Excuse you! I can take that monster easily! Just watch!"

"And there it is." Bulma mutters. Staring with half lidded, annoyed eyes, she explains to the others. "Prideful boy mixed with timid girl makes insecure, defensive, stubborn child." She hangs her head in disappointment. "Anyone else think these fusions aren't helping?"

Raunks growls, gritting her teeth. "Just watch!" Power flaring around her, the fusion bursts off the Lookout, heading straight for the oncoming power.

Goten moves after, but Piccolo wrenches him back by the shirt. "STAY HERE! He yells, clear aura forming around him. Piccolo looks to Raditz and Nappa. "Let's go! No getting out of it now."

"Right!" Nappa roars our, entering Super Saiyan.

"Damn it, girl!" Raditz roars into his own Super Saiyan form as the three take off from the Lookout.

Krillin looks at the others a moment, then to 18 specifically. "I'm going too. They may need all the help they can get."

She opens her mouth to argue, but stops to look at Marron. With a sigh, she nods. "Be careful."

The monk smiles with a nod and glances to Yamcha. Meeting rhe gaze both sigh. Yamcha mutters. "Yeah let's go."

"Me too!" Gine shouts as she runs to them. Auras burn around all three, clear for the humans, blue around the Saiyan. They burst off the Lookout down into the clouds.

. . .

Raunks speeds through the clouds to see the green forest below around Korrin's Tower. Teeth gritting with a set scowl, her power flares. "Come on. I got this! I'm ME!" With a scoff, she halts over the forest, floating just above the leaves. "Now, bring it! Come on Majin-"

With a thunderous boom through the open air, a shock falls over the trees of the forest, blowing them harshly for just a second. A shadow looms over Raunks, head blocking the sun. A pink man, same boots and pants as the monster she expected, with bracer like armguards, black and yellow. He. Was. Ripped!

The fat necked monster's head was tilted, a toothy grin loosely open. That head tentacle twitched lightly draping to the side. Black in his eyes, with red orbs directed down at the Super Saiyan.

"-Buu..." Came the weakened end, the fusion's eyes shrunken in a tinge of emotion. Fear.

The grinning monster spoke, voice deeper and filled with light growls. "You rang?" He gives a throaty chuckle. "Do you want to be my first opponent?"

Raunks blinks, composing herself with a cocky grin despite the sweat dripping. "Ha! Yeah. I'm the one who's gonna destroy you! Now, prepare your-"

She didn't see the arm raise. A blur in her peripheral while she was focused on the taunt. A shockwave shakes the forest before a line of debris breaks out from the land, Raunks sent careening throughout. She comes to a stop, embedded in the earth.

Teal eyes open painfully. Raunks glances up to see the monster standing by her head, looking down at her. "Oh? Strong. Stronger than Buu was just a few minutes ago..."

Anger sparked in the child's eyes. A golden aura bursts the ground apart, yet does nothing to the grinning monster. "Stronger than you NOW!" Raunks pushes up, kicking the monster in the jaw and knocking him back.

Flipping away, Raunks charges a violet ki ball between her hands. The power of two minds guiding the energy as it crackles like sparks between the hands.

Buu lands a short distance off, boot print in his face as it buffs out. He turns to grin back at the coming attack.

She growls, clapping her hands around the sparking ball, dispersing the violet light out completely. Hands come up before she makes a throw gesture. A sparkle of violet light zips by as Buu's face falls in confusion.

An invisible wave blows out, knocking him off his feet, the ki entering him. Raunks grins, one open hand out. "New Year Fireworks!" The open hand clenches into a fist.

All around Buu, violet sparks like fuses before lighting an explosion on him. The blast clears a section of the forest.

Above, the two adult Saiyans and Namekian arrive, watching with wide eyes and shielding themselves. "Whoa! That power!" Raditz lets out.

"It won't matter. He can regenerate. What I'm worried about is how much power Buu gained." Piccolo scowled, an idea on his head as a resort... "Buu is childish, if we convince him using fun as a bargaining chip, he might give us time to put the kids in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to get stronger!"

"You want to negotiate?!" Raditz shouts out in a rage. "Oh, yeah. THAT will work! And just what happens when 'no' is the answer?"

"..." Red flag.

The rubble clears, Raunks grinning at her successful attack. "Oh yeah! Let's see you come back from-" Eyes widening, she finds the dust clear to reveal Buu... just standing there. Grinning. Menacingly!

Buu laughs. "Would you like a second try? Or is it my turn?" The child takes an unconscious step back, making the monster grin wider. "My turn." In a blur, he closes the distance.

This time, Raunks gets her block up, only getting knocked back. With a roar, the two enter a strike exchange, the pink monster unleashing a flurry of punches too fast.

The pink and yellow blurs blitz back and forth, too fast for the others to see. Each strike shakes the nearby tower in a quake. Suddenly, Raunks is beaten back into view, careening through the tops of trees before righting herself in the air.

Covered in scuff marks and bruises, the Super Saiyan glares back, reacting in time. She leaps up, Buu's powerful arm missing a punch as he comes into view. She kicks down, hitting him in the should and into the ground below.

Flying high for distance, she puts both hands forward. From her, a sphere of violet energy forms around her body, encased in a ki ball. Inside, both hands aim at Buu below. "April Shower!" From the sphere of violet, small ki balls begin blasting down. Each shot shrinks the sphere around Raunks, taking the very ki around her down.

On the ground, The blasts hit all around Buu, but do not explode. Each small ball, no bigger than a baseball, sticks to the object it hits, dozens, hundreds hitting the land around the pink man. Buu himself lights up with balls sticking in place, attaching themselves.

The energy around Raunks taps out, violet light gone. She brings her hands together, calling out as all the couple hundred balls brighten. "Mayflower!"

Below Raunks, the entire forest trees glow white, all the kid orbs around the pocket of land, all around Buu, shine and detonate at once. A massive explosion booms out over the forest as a pillar of light, Buu completely engulfed.

. . .

The pillar of white ki radiates up, narrowly missing the Lookout. All its denizens of the floating palace shield themselves in cover, the floor beneath them shaking violently. Just as quickly as it appeared, so to does it fade away, peace back to the frantic people.

. . .

The fading light reveals a crater, blackened by the depth. Over the crater, Raunks stares down, breathing heavily. Her exhaustion clear, but pride pulls a smirk on. "That's what I thought."

She casts a glance at the nearby fighters, seeing them all gaping at the display. Krillin, Gine, and Yamcha dropped to float by them as well. The short monk gulps. "Wow... So, I guess fusion really is amazing, huh?"

"HA! That's right! I'm the best!" The fusion turns to give a giddy laugh towards Piccolo. "And you were so worried. The big bad bubblegum monster."

Piccolo and Raditz feel it first, glancing down. The adult Saiyan shouts out. "You fool, get over here! It's not-"

"Relaaaaaaaax!" The fusion waves them off. "I mean, come on! Nothing could survive-" Her senses go off, eyes widening. Fear washes over her as she glances down. Floating within the dark abyss in the ground, a mass of pink globs together, swishing around itself. Stretching. Contorting. Shaping. "W-w-w-w-what?"

The pink morphs, sculpting itself in muscle and limbs. Color appears in white, yellow, and black, as Buu stands in place, grinning up at the fusion. A dark chuckle comes from him as his hand raises. "Now, it's my turn." A pink aura of ki washes around him, intense wind blowing around him. His one hand aims loosely into the air, his head tilted to the side.

"GET AWAY!" Raditz shouts, charging in, but Piccolo grabs him back.

Buu's eyes widen, unhinged, a laugh billowing out as ki blasts begin erupting out of his hand. Tens. Dozens. Hundreds. Thousands. The blasts come faster and faster and faster, unending. The blasts fire around Raunks, out and about as they spiral and guide around turning back in. On the Lookout above, several pink streaks arc over the palace before curving back down.

Raunks' eyes widen as all of the thousands of blasts curve in and guide directly at her, from ALL sides. She blocks the first oncoming blast, getting pushed back. Then the second hits her back shoulder, jolting her forward, off balance. The next hits her front knee, twisting her body with the hit.

Then all count is lost as the thousands of blasts drill in from all sides. The child, like a blur, twitches rapidly, jolting with every hit, shaking and flapping back and forth like a rag doll. Like a paper bending and crumpling while being swatted out of the air.

It keeps going, more blasts upon more. Then the blasts finally start igniting explosions on the fusion, obscuring her from sight. The blasts continue for a solid thirty seconds before the pink in the sky ends, fading back to a blue sky.

The exploded cloud in the sky begins to wash away with the natural wind. As it clears, Buu begins to rise.

He grins at the group. "That was fun. I had lots of fun!" He gives a throaty laugh, tilting his head back. "No longer simply Majin Buu. Me Super Buu! HAHA!"

The smoke fully clears, revealing Raunks floating in place. Blood trickles from each limb, clothes torn to tatters. Her Super Saiyan hair gone, replaced with dark blue shoulder length hand with lavender bands.

She sways back and forth, light going out in her eyes before her body shines. From the shine, the two children drop from either side, Trunks and Raunch both out cold.

Buu's eyes widen, focus on them. "What? What is this?"

"Raunch! Trunks!" Raditz shouts out.

Seeing the concerned father, Buu looks at the two kids drop from the sky. With a mad grin, he flicks his hands up. "Whatever it is, it's fun is over." A pink blast fires, the others shouting out in horror.

Just before it hits the children... "TRI BEAM!" A yellow blast hits the pink, exploding in mid air.

Chaotzu floats in, catching both the children by their shirts. He floats up to the others, relief coming to their faces. The group sees Tien floating off to the side, posed with his hands forming a triangle. "Sorry we're late."

Nappa chuckles. "Better than never."

Piccolo directs at Chaotzu. "Take those two to the Lookout. Have Dende heal them, and take them into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber as quick as possible with Goten."

The short pale man nods quickly. "What should I do after?"

Raditz answers in a growl. "Open the door back up when it seems we can't hold out any longer. They can try the fusion against him again."

"Got it!" Chaotzu flies up into the air with the kids.

Buu's eyes trail up after the small being. With a shrug, he looks at the others. Tien moves to join the group as Piccolo gulps, moving forward. "Majin Buu, I'd like a word." The group tenses, but allows the Namekian to speak for them.

Buu's attention finds the green man. "You... I almost killed you before. You're weak. Why should I listen to you?"

Piccolo raises a brow, eyes narrowing. "You respect strength, do you? What is it that you're looking for?"

"To use my power and have fun." The simple answer wasn't helpful, but the green man nods.

"Then you want a good fight? I promise you, wait just one hour, and you can have the fight of your life!" Piccolo smirks, putting on the sales pitch. "We'll have a powerful fighter to place against you, and trust me, it'll satisfy you forever."

Buu tilts his head, looking off to the side. "One hour? What an hour? I don't want to wait." He chuckles darkly. "I could just have my fun with you now, and let that fighter come to me later anyway."

"They won't come if we're not here for them to come to." Piccolo lies smoothly. "Please, if you're patient, we can have the perfect fight for you." Silence for just a beat, Piccolo grits his teeth as he ponders his options. For just a moment, he wonders if he could use the people of Earth as a bargaining chip... until he realizes something. That last attack he used on Raunks was wide scale enough that he could have turned it on the population from here.

No, that's not an option. Still, Majin Buu had been hanging out with Mr Satan. Maybe that could work? Piccolo points to the sky. "Up on the Lookout, up there! Up there is where Hercule Satan's daughter currently is!"

Buu's eyes widen just slightly, angling his head up. "What?"

"One hour! That's all she's asking for. All we're asking for! Please!" Silence follows, the monster's head tilting back and forth in thought, red eyes locked towards the sky.

. . .

Chaotzu drops the kids on the Lookout, Dende hurrying to work on them. Goten freaks out. "Oh no! What happened?!"

Chaotzu answers. "Buu is really powerful." He looks at Goten. "Get ready to go into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. We need you to train to beat Buu!"

"What?" Was all the youngest got out.

"Done!" Dende says, sweating from the pressure. Trunks and Raunch look up in shock.

"Whoa, he beat us that badly?" Trunks muttered under his breath.

Raunch similarly barely sits, hugging herself. "Wow..."

Goten gulps, seeing the two friends looking so defeated, but he huffs. "Come on! They said we have to train in the Hyper Sonic Lion Tamer!"

Chaotzu's mouth opens to correct him, but stops. "We have no time. Come on!"

Hearing the idea that they can train to beat that, Trunks and Raunch spare a glance at one another. The two nod, rising to their feet. "Right!" They answer in unison before rushing off into the palace.

. . .

It was frustrating to think of. Waiting for something? Then a thought came to mind...

"Follow some advice, the strongest opponents don't serve anyone but those they choose."

That strange man. He was strong. Stronger than Buu? No! Impossible. But he was fun!

"You aren't even making these decisions. It's pitiful."

A rumbling growl builds in Buu's gut as he grins. He glares up at Piccolo. "You weak. You try to manipulate Buu..." With a roar, his power skyrockets. "I make my decision, and I choose to have fun NOW!"

His power blasts the air outward, pressuring the Z fighters in the air. Grimaces were had all around as Piccolo's shoulders sank. "Right..." With a glance at the others behind him, he nods.

Raditz roars out, power doubling as he enters Super Saiyan 2. Nappa bellows out a shout as well, lightning sparking around his own Super Saiyan 2 as they line up next to Piccolo. Outside them, Krillin and Yamcha float in, shouting into Kaioken x20! Tien drops beside Yamcha, doing the same, as Gine drops by Krillin, powering up a blue aura.

Piccolo, center of the line, brings his arms up. In one motion, both his armor and turban are thrown off, before a battle cry escapes. A white aura forms around him, sparking as he roars. "Don't fight to win! Fight to prolong the battle as much as possible!" He orders.

Buu merely tilts his head, grinning. "Fun..."

YES! Super Buu is here! … and not a single person capable of fighting him. So, this is where it starts to differ, the setup to the fight and how it will play out.

As you might notice, any fusion with Raunch will use moves named after months (like Raditz's moves being named for days). New year for January obviously, and both April Shower and Mayflower being based on the saying, 'April showers bring May flowers.'Hey, if Gotenks has "Screaming Angry Wombat" as an attack, I can call these literally anything and not be judged too terribly.

Powers:

Raunks SS – 12 Billion.

Raditz SS2 – 2.160 Billion

Piccolo – 1.8 Billion

Nappa SS2 – 1.8 Billion

Krillin x20 – 360 Million

Yamcha x20 – 360 Million

Tien – 27 Million.

Tien x20 – 540 Million

Given that Tien trains nonstop unlike the other humans over the time skip, and he scaled to the base saiyans prior to the time skip, I'm scaling him to base Goku and Vegeta for canon Buu saga.

Gine – 15 Million

Super Buu - ?

Yeah, not revealing this quite yet, but scales to SS3 Gotenks AFTER training in the Time Chamber.

Reviews:

AmethystEspeon – I mostly just want to stay consistent, although I'll be switching to using actual words as I did above like I did when scaling Super. That said, what scaling from super are you referring to? The only one that comes to my mind (At the time of responding to this) is that dumb 'threat' scale that labeled Beerus a 9 and Fused Zamasu as an 11 (Despite all scalings and subsequent statements seeming to place them in the same level of raw power), and that scaling kinda sucks. If I'm just brain fritzing and forgetting a scale metric Super had, feel free to message the one you're meaning.

That said, counting fusions, I do now have SIX characters with a form that is 12 Billion, so I understand the complaint fully...

TheDarkChronist – I understand that to a degree, but it's also a running theme in Dragon Ball to redeem certain characters and give them those types of happy endings. Piccolo indirectly murdered Krillin, Roshi, and Chaotzu, yet he's happily babysitting Gohan as a sort of foster dad. Just something the series as a whole does with its characters.

SuperSaiyajin4Vegeta – Well, we also know how strong Gotenks ends up post Buu thanks to the Yo Son Goku special. Working and scaling backwards from that special, the numbers still put SS Gotenks before the Time Chamber stronger than Fat Buu, and Piccolo's original statements simply reinforce that, so I wanted to cite Piccolo as well.

As far as Gohan, we also have Goku's own suggestion that simply training with the Z sword could have made Gohan powerful enough to fight Buu (Before elder kai appears), and seeing as Gohan's highest transformation at that moment was only a fourth as strong as Goku's, that by itself suggests Gohan's base getting MUCH stronger than Goku's. And Goku is the exact person to ask having fought Fat Buu.

Remember the golden rule: 'Gohan strongest there is', but will always disappoint.

Nimelhed09 – Glad you enjoyed it! And yeah, it could mean a lot of things. It's just not going to get explained, so surface level jokes are all free game.
