Part 6- Birth Of A Fusion Warrior
Quote: The hardest lessons to learn are the ones being bashed into your head by angry fusion warriors
The rain was gone now. Not a drop was falling from the sky. However, there were still gusts of wind and thunder crashing everywhere. Hunter couldn't really be bothered by any of this because he was face first on the ground. He picked himself up, disgusted that he allowed Gotenks to hit him so easily.
That won't happen again. That genetic freak can't beat me. I am a super warrior. Hunter stood up, dusted himself off, and was knocked right back down by a blur of a figure. He hit hard and landed in a mud puddle. After shaking the initial shock off, Hunter was furious. The worst part was that he could hear the coward laughing, but it was coming from so many different directions that he couldn't pinpoint exactly where the guy was. Hunter listened desperately for any sound that might give away the location.
Snap. There it was. The breaking of a twig was his signal, and Hunter was quick to react. He jumped up and turned in that direction, firing three consecutive blasts at the spot where the sound had come from. Unfortunately Hunter was hit in the back, long before they hit their targets by a giggling foe. The blasts hit their marks and vaporized the area, but Hunter knew that his opponent was too smart to jump into the explosion. He got up again, this time to one knee, and tried to control his anger. It didn't work.
"Get out here and fight me! I'm going to…" Hunter's mouth was rocked with a solid right hand that spun him around. Getting back to his original position, he came eye to eye with his assailant, Gotenks. Despite the attacks he had suffered already, Hunter smiled at him. This was his chance. Hunter quickly formed a ki ball, but Gotenks was gone before he could throw it.
"He, he, he." Hunter searched the area with his eyes, still ready to throw the ball at a moments notice. A sound caught his ear from behind. Hunter turned and threw the ball in one smooth motion. The intended target, though, was not what Hunter expected. It was another ki ball, much larger than his own. Hunter had just enough time to get out of the explosion area, which he did, but was hit in the back with ki blast. He hit the ground with a thud. Hunter was now pissed.
"FACE ME!" Hunter exploded with power, leveling everything in the surrounding area. The dome of pure energy burnt out and left the ground smoking in areas, completely flat in others. Hunter took a look around, hoping that he had flushed out his opponent.
"Over here." Hunter turned his face right into Gotenks' foot and was slightly jarred. In that same motion, Gotenks slightly twisted his body and hit Hunter again with a spinning elbow, right in the face. Hunter was turned the opposite way. Again he turned around and tried to ready himself, but he was hit in the stomach with a knee, then in the back with an elbow. Within seconds he was on the ground again. This time, though, he wasn't even given the chance to stand up. Gotenks landed on Hunter moments after he hit the ground and drove a fist into the small of his back. Then he followed up with barrage of punches to the same spot. Gotenks jumped off of Hunter and gave him a little space. "Get up. This isn't over. I have a lot I want to do to you."
"You… can't beat me. I am…" Hunter stopped his own sentence, hoping to catch Gotenks by surprise. He punched out and his arm extended at the fusion warrior. Gotenks looked disappointed and made a clicking sound with his tongue, while waving his finger. He easily dodged the attacked and rushed Hunter. The Buu-droid tried the same attack with his other arm, but it was just as easily dodged. Gotenks effortlessly made it to Hunter and grabbed his face.
"This is for Goten." Gotenks dragged Hunter behind and head for a tree. Just before impact, Gotenks moved Hunter in front of him. The Buu-droid's head crashed through the tree and continued to do so through the next twenty. Finally Gotenks let him go and Hunter fell to the floor. Hunter bounced right up and retracted his arms. He powered up and rushed Gotenks from behind. Gotenks landed on the ground and waited. Hunter used a front roundhouse kick, which Gotenks ducked. However, in the same motion Hunter straight kicked with the opposite foot, and that connected. Gotenks staggered backward, hurt by the attack. Hunter kept up the pace, attacking with a barrage of punches to the face, all of which connected. Hunter then sweep kicked Gotenks and hit with another barrage of punches, these to the stomach. Hunter finished with a power punch to the stomach, a flip, and a vicious boot to the face. He rubbed his foot down into the nose of Gotenks before jumping off and landing on one foot. He relaxed down to two feet and looked over his shoulder back at Gotenks, a smirk on his face.
"Had enough?" He asked confidently. Gotenks stood up, holding his nose and in a lot of pain.
"He, he, he." Gotenks smiled and took his hand off of his face. He was in no pain at all. "That was funny. You hit like a girl."
"What?" Hunter was now consumed with rage. His aura burst forth with power and he attacked. This time Gotenks had a little trouble keeping up with him. Hunter's punches were fast and furious and Gotenks was barely able to dodge them all. Hunter shot a close range blast that hit Gotenks in the chest and knocked him back a few feet. Hunter closed back in and grabbed his opponent, picked him up, and slammed him on the floor. Gotenks rolled out of the way of a stomp and jumped back to his feet. Gotenks held both hands out in front of him and charged a ball of energy. From the ball came hundreds of smaller energy balls that engulfed Hunter. The Buu-droid fought them off with his arms covering his eyes, slowly pushing his way through and closing the distance. Gotenks poured on the pressure and was able to stop his forward movement. They had a stalemate, Gotenks blasting away and Hunter unable to move forward. Sweat dripped down the Gotenks' brow; he was beginning to tire. He needed only a moment to rest, but he didn't have that kind of time.
"Damn it! Just go away." Gotenks said to himself. Hunter stared right at him and started to move his hands together.
"Lethal Bubble!"
"What?" Gotenks watched, unable to do anything as Hunter began his counter by forming a huge energy bubble in his hands. As it grew, it moved closer and closer to Gotenks. His blasts were putting a dent in it, but it wasn't stopping it. It wasn't long until Gotenks' entire body was engulfed in the energy bubble.
"Die!" The red bubble exploded in a flash of yellow light and kicked up dust everywhere. Hunter floated into the air and watched with approval at his work of destruction. The light and the smoke died down enough for him to make out the shape of Gotenks. Hunter was in a state of disbelief. Gotenks was standing. When the last of the smoke cleared Hunter's look changed from disbelief to horror. Not only was Gotenks uninjured, he now had golden hair.
"Super Saiya-jin Gotenks!"
"How did you survive that?" Hunter asked himself more than anyone else. He was pulling on his hair, on the verge of pulling it out. Gotenks just wiped himself off.
"That… was that an attack?" Gotenks faced Hunter and levitated into the air. "I'll show you an attack." He moved back away from Hunter. "I call this the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack!" Gotenks took in a deep breath and blew out ten bubbles. Hunter couldn't believe his eyes when they formed into transparent images of his opponent.
"What are they?" A very confident smile came over Gotenks' face.
"Ghosts, line up!" All of the ghost lined up in a row in front of Gotenks so that they all had a view of Hunter. Gotenks moved in front of them and inspected all of them. He came across a ghost with his finger in his nose. "Disgusting." He motioned for the ghost to move out of the line up. "You go first." The ghost raised his free hand in triumph and floated over to Hunter. Hunter didn't know what to make of him.
"I…am…a…GHOST!" The ghost took its finger that was in its nose and placed it right in Hunter's mouth. The Buu-droid immediately began to gag. He grabbed at the ghost. Unfortunately for him, it exploded and took his arm off.
"WHAT THE HELL?" Hunter looked at the space where his arm used to be.
"He, he, he. If you touch a ghost, they explode." Hunter glanced up at Gotenks before returning his attention to his former arm. Hunter gritted his teeth and his shoulder started shaking. Gotenks and the ghosts watched as he slowly, very slowly regenerated his arm. The process took about thirty seconds. Hunter scowled at Gotenks.
"You can't beat me. Even if you hurt me, I can regenerate, just like Buu." Gotenks seemed a little disappointed. Then the familiar confident smile came back to his face.
"You're already beaten." He turned toward the ghosts. "Ghosts, attack!" They all rushed at Hunter. He tried to fire ki blasts so he could make them explode before they could reach him, but they were too quick and had no problems dodging them all. One of the ghosts jumped right into his face. Hunter was about to blow it off when two more latched on to his arms. Then two latched on to his legs. One went to his back; another one stuck to his chest. The last two grabbed onto his feet. They all started to light up.
"Get off of me!" Hunter squirmed, but he was unable to get them off.
"Hunter!" Hunter was able to see by the ghost on his face to located Gotenks, who now had scowl of his own on his face. "This one's for Trunks."
"No!" That was the last thing Hunter said as the ghosts all exploded and vaporized him, leaving no trace of his being. Gotenks looked at the space where the explosion had taken place. At first he was indifferent, but then a feeling of accomplishment came over him.
"That was for you, Trunks." He made a fist and pounded his chest. "We got him. Now it's time to go get the other one." Gotenks blasted off toward the mansion to help Bulma and Chi Chi.
**********
"You made a big mistake challenging me!" The Madam drove an elbow into Chi Chi's leg. The human turned Saiyan couldn't help but to cry out in pain. She fell to the floor. The Madam bent down and delivered another blow to the same leg, right behind the knee. Chi Chi once again let out a cry of pain.
"Chi Chi!" cried Bulma. She had tried to stay out of the fight, but she knew that she had to act now. Thinking quickly, Bulma extended her arm and decided to try another energy attack. Once again she quickly gathered the energy. "BICKUBANG ATTACK!" The beam shot from her hand with a purpose, and it succeeded in connecting with the Madam, knocking her across the room. Bulma ran over to her friend and helped her sit up. Rae went over to them also. The both of them took one look at Chi Chi and knew that she wasn't going to be doing much else. Bulma looked right at Rae. "You can heal her, right?"
"Yes. I just need about three minutes. The injury is very serious and I haven't had much practice at this." Bulma nodded. All she had to do was hold off the Madam for three minutes. Assuming that she survived, Chi Chi would then be able to help. Maybe a double team attack would be more effective. If that didn't work, there were always other ways. Bulma walked by Rae, who had started her healing process, and went to the middle of the room. The Madam was getting up and, from the looks of things, was not a very happy person.
"You shouldn't have done that, dear. You have made me very upset."
"I could care less." Bulma was in her ready position. She knew she would have to be ready because the Madam seemed to be so much more powerful. The Madam looked by Bulma over to Rae and Chi Chi. She smiled evilly.
"I see your friend is getting some help with her injury. No matter. Even at full strength you can't beat me, and I won't allow you to fuse. You have no chance to win. Unless you have a trick up your sleeve…" To answer her question, a window broke behind her and in came the fusion warrior Gotenks. He landed right next to Bulma.
"Ora, Ora, Madam. Hunter is no more. Now it's time for you to face the awesome power of the fusion… Super Gotenks!" The Madam had a slightly bothered look on her face.
"Charming entrance. You will pay for that window." Gotenks dug into his pockets and came out with a bug. A big Son smile was on his face.
"No money."
"That is very disgusting." The Madam fired a small ki blast that fried the bug in his hands.
"Ralph!"
"Don't tell me that thing was your pet." Gotenks didn't say anything. The Madam slapped a hand over her face. "I don't believe it. You are an idiot." She walked toward him and Bulma.
"That's enough talk." Bulma levitated into the air. "Let's get back to business." She was moments away from charging at the Madam when Gotenks jumped in front of her.
"No, Bulma. Stop!" She did.
"What are you doing? Get out of the way!" She tried to go by him again, but Gotenks moved in her way.
"Let me fight her."
"No!" yelled Bulma. She had a hint of 'mother' in her voice. "She's mine! Get out of the way!" Gotenks wouldn't move.
"Bulma. You can't beat her." He moved a little closer so that only Bulma could hear. "You have to fuse when you get the chance." Gotenks turned back toward the Madam. "I'll take… wait!" Bulma shot right by him and at the Madam. It was too late to stop her. "Damn it!"
"All right, Madam. I'm going to shove my fist down your throat and pull out your guts."
"How vulgar." Bulma punched at the Madam when she came within range. It was easily blocked and countered with the same. Bulma landed off balance, leaning backward. The Madam picked up her own foot and dropped it across Bulma's back. Gotenks dive-bombed toward the two. He stopped about half way when he spotted the sphere holding Vegeta.
"Vegeta. I have to get him out of there" He blasted off for the sphere and landed it front of it. "Those strings are tight, but I can get him out of there." Gotenks started tearing away at all of the metal cords, ripping them off and tossing them aside. There were hundreds of them, but Gotenks got through them in record time. After clearing away the last one, Vegeta's limp body fell to the floor. Gotenks checked him. He was unconscious, but he was alive. He slung the Saiyan Prince over his shoulder and brought him over to Rae, who was about half way done with Chi Chi's knee. She seemed surprised to see him.
"Is he okay?" Gotenks nodded.
"Can you heal him?"
"Yes, but I'm almost done with Chi Chi. After I finish I will heal him." She returned her attention to her previous job. "Just try to stay alive until they can help. I want to be able to see Goten again." She smiled and winked at Gotenks. He smiled and gave her thumbs up. Then he ran over to help Bulma.
"Madam!" Madam Tush looked up and at Gotenks.
"That's Madam Heidy Tush to you. She fired a ki ball, which was ducked under. Gotenks jumped up after it passed overhead and hit her with an axe handle. The Madam hit the ground hard, but rolled away almost immediately. Gotenks stopped for a moment, staring at the ground.
"That didn't feel right. I don't like hitting girls." Gotenks picked his head up and faced the Madam. "I don't want to fight you. You're a girl."
"Don't let that stop you!" She ran up to him and scratched him across the face, blinding him momentarily. Madam Tush grabbed his head and rammed it into her knee. Then she swept his right foot with her own. Gotenks leg rose up slightly and gave the Madam the opening that she was looking for. With all of her might, the Madam kicked Gotenks between the legs. He hit the ground in a heartbeat and couldn't make a sound. The pain was so extreme that he didn't move. All he did was twitch. The Madam laughed at him. "Next time you had better attack. This girl can take care of herself." She started to walk away, but Gotenks grabbed her foot.
"Where…are…you…going?"
"Let go of my foot before I cut off your hand."
"You…don't…get…it…" Madam Tush studied his face. He was smiling despite the pain. Something was going on.
"What are you hiding?" Gotenks was quiet. She picked him up by the shirt. "I asked you a question." Once again there was no answer. She studied his face again. He seemed to be looking right past her. The Madam followed his gaze to the to Saiyan women. They were spread apart and starting a pose. It took only a moment for her to realize it was the fusion dance they had intentions on doing. She tried to run, but Gotenks was still hanging on to her ankle.
"You aren't going anywhere." He yanked on her foot and she fell to the floor, hitting her face hard. There was nothing that she could do now. There was going to be another fusion.
"FUSION…HA!" A bright, white light encased the women after the end of the pose. Gotenks smiled. He would have some help after all. The Madam's reaction was more pissed off than anything. She was mad at herself for allowing the dance to happen.
"You little runt!" She fired a blast right at his face and he had to let go. Madam Tush stood up and watched the light dissipate from around the two Saiyans. Where there were two there was now only one. A woman with the features of both Chi Chi and Bulma appeared in the normal fusion outfit, with the addition of a cut-off, white, spandex T-shirt. Her hair was in an even longer ponytail than Chi Chi's or Bulma's. It reached down to her knees. She stood in a wide stance, arms crossed over her chest. The Madam walked to mid room. "Who are you?"
"I am Chima, fusion of Chi Chi and Bulma. I am your destroyer."
"Funny. I was about to say the same thing about you." Chima approached the Madam, leaving Rae to tend to Vegeta. Rae placed her hands on his chest. He still had his shirt on. Rae knew that it was going to make it harder to heal him so she ripped it off, exposing his ripped muscles. She placed her hands on his chest again and started to heal him. To her surprise, he jumped up moments later, wide-awake and in no pain.
"What… how did you do that?" Vegeta looked at her like she was foreign.
"I was a little sore from the wires and the pressure caused me to lose consciousness. I didn't need to be healed."
"Oh." Vegeta towered over her.
"Where is my wife?" Rae pointed to the fighter standing a few feet away. Vegeta glanced and was shocked. "They fused?"
"Yes. Chi Chi and Bulma did fuse," answered Chima. "In case you are wondering how, they apparently gained the knowledge from the blood they used to become Saiyans. Son Goku taught you, so Bulma knew to." Vegeta thought about that for a moment. Kakarotto had taught him after the battle with Buu, just to be safe. It just seemed a little strange that that knowledge was in his blood.
"Are you strong?"
"What kind of a question is that?"
"You know what I mean. Are you stronger than Gogeta?" Chima was silent for a moment.
"I am made of two copies. A copy is never as perfect as the original. That should be good enough." She peered over her shoulder at him. "And it's not because I'm a woman." Chima walked away from him and toward the Madam again. The Madam did the same. They met at the middle of the room.
"So you are the fusion of Chi Chi and Bulma?" asked the Madam.
"…"
"The silent treatment. I see. You really must be confident. Let's see how good you really are." An extremely fast punch was aimed at Chima's face. It was swatted away by a blur of a hand.
"Do you call that fast?" A confident smirk appeared on her face. "I'll show you fast." All of a sudden, the Madam went flying backward through the air. She hit the wall and slumped to the ground. Chima looked back at Vegeta and caught him with his mouth slightly open. "Go help Son Goku. He is below us." Vegeta started to protest. He didn't like being ordered around, but he stopped because he realized that it was exactly what he was going to do anyway. Vegeta scanned for Goku's ki before destroying the floor below himself. He dived into the hole. The Madam pulled herself up to her feet.
"That was a pretty good punch."
"Want another?"
"No thank you. I would rather return the favor." The Madam punched out, extending her arm again. The punch hit a vacant area. Slightly confused, the Madam's head snapped upward when Chima appeared in front of her, foot where the Madam's chin was.
"You're pathetic." The Madam's cracked her neck and stared right into Chima's eyes.
"You are going to pay for that." She reared back and threw a punch. It was inches from Chima's face when the Madam stopped. She doubled over in pain and for the first time saw that Chima's left fist had hit her in the stomach.
"Is that all you have? Maybe I should end this right now. I don't want to waste my efforts on someone as pathetic as you." She turned her back on the party hostess and walked back over to Rae.
"Look out!" shouted Rae. Chima didn't even turn around. She just stood still.
"What is the problem now?" Chima peeked around the corner of her eye and saw the Madam charging a really big ki ball. Chima sighed in disappointment.
"You should leave." Chima pointed to the door; Rae took her advice and left. Chima finally confronted her assailant head on. "You might want to make a bigger one." She turned her attention to Gotenks. "Are you going to live?" The fusion male jumped up to his feet.
"I'm fine. Don't think you are going to have all the fun." He ran over and stood side by side with her. "Hey you! This time I won't hold back. You will feel the wrath of Gotenks."
"That's very entertaining, but you won't be able to survive long enough to do that." She increased the size of the ki ball, which was now eating up the ceiling and pushing into the rooms above. "I would suggest running, but then again I wouldn't let you get away."
"What makes you think that we would run?" asked Chima.
"You are about to die. You might want to do something." Chima and Gotenks shook their heads. Gotenks closed his eyes and waved his finger while Chima talked.
"You don't understand the power of the fusion. Even I didn't understand it before, but I do now. It is beyond your wildest dreams. You don't have enough power in your body to kill me. If you want I can make this interesting." Chima flew up into the air and cupped her hands. She brought them to her side. "I'll use a low level Gallic Gun. Try not to die right away." Chima started to very, very, very slowly charge the energy needed.
"What am I supposed to do?" asked Gotenks. He didn't want to just sit and watch.
"Vegeta might be in need of some help. Go help him find Son Goku." Gotenks didn't like the idea of not getting the strong opponent, but he conceded and jumped into the hole. The Madam watched him go.
"Why didn't you keep your friend around?" she asked.
"I don't want your guts to get on him."
"That won't happen. It is you who is going to die!" The Madam gave one more power boost to her ki ball, which was now the size of the mansion. Then she hurled it. Chima had a disapproving look on her face.
"Such a waste. Gallic Gun Fire!" She brought her cupped hands forward, palms facing the Madam and her ki ball. The blast erupted from her hands and connected with the Madam's only feet away from Chima's face. To the utter shock of the Madam, Chima's blast ripped right through her own and hit the ground right in front of her. The explosion ripped her apart and plastered her on the floor. She tried to pull herself together but it was going very slowly. She had all of her parts in herself, but she couldn't form her body again. To make things worse, Chima was now standing over her.
"You…"
"Don't bother. You're dead in a couple of seconds anyway. Any last words?" Through sheer determination, The Madam formed a face. It was smiling.
"You haven't beaten all of us yet." The face melted back into liquid. Chima pointed both hands at the mess and blasted it away with energy, making sure to vaporize every last ounce of being.
"Humph. I thought that would be more challenging." She stared at the black spot on the floor where she had blasted the Madam's remains. "I should probably go see if they found Son Goku." Chima floated off of the floor and found Rae outside. She brought her back inside and went over to the hole. Chima dived down and found herself in a huge room, possibly bigger than the one that they had just left. At the bottom were Gotenks and Vegeta. They were all staring at some kind of machine. Chima landed behind Vegeta and placed Rae down. "What is it?"
"Don't know, but Kakarotto is in there." Vegeta crossed his arms over his chest as he always did.
"What's the problem then?"
"Don't rush me." Chima gazed at the machine. It definitely held Son Goku; she could feel his power inside. It was like a big, metal throne with a lot of wires sticking into it. Chima approached it and placed her hand on it. She examined every part.
"It looks fine." Chima jammed her fist though the front and ripped it off, much to the surprise of all spectators. She tossed the hunk of metal aside and turned attention back to the machine. Chima breathed a small sigh of relief when she saw Son Goku, still strapped to the chair but in good shape.
"Goku?" asked Rae. She approached him and checked his pulse. "He' fine. He's unconscious, like Vegeta was. We have to get him out of here so that he can recover." Gotenks took a step forward.
"Sounds like a job for Super Gotenks!" As he had did with Vegeta's sphere, Gotenks started grabbing all of the straps and ripping them off. He tossed them every which way until he finally came upon the body of the Saiyan. Pulling the last wire, Goku's body fell out and right onto the shoulder of Gotenks. "Got him. Time to go." Gotenks blasted off and out of the room through the hole in the ceiling. Vegeta followed close behind and Chima close behind him, carrying Rae with her. They all landed on the floor above and set down. Gotenks placed Goku on the floor and Chima placed Rae right next to him. Rae knelt down and placed her hand on his head.
"I'm going to try to heal him." Her hands started glowing with a soft white glow and Goku started fidgeting. Vegeta looked on as Gotenks and Chima did. Three minutes passed and still Goku didn't revive. Rae stopped and sat up. "I don't know what's going on. He should be up by now."
"Maybe he's in a coma," commented Chima. She stepped over to Goku and knelt down next to him. Almost as if she had stepped on a button, Goku sat up, his eyes still closed. Chima jumped back slightly, a little surprised at his sudden movement.
"He's up. How did that happen?"
"Something is wrong here. He still hasn't opened his eyes." Everyone stared at Goku's face, more specifically his eyes.
"Kakarotto! Wake up!" Vegeta walked over to Goku and slapped him across the face. "Kakarotto!" Vegeta slapped Goku again.
"Stop that!" demanded Rae. Vegeta flashed a look at her, but Rae couldn't care less.
"Quiet, both of you," demanded Chima. Vegeta flashed her another look, this one more pissed off than the last. Instead of sending one back, Chima pointed at Goku's face, which had some movement to it now. Everyone turned his or her attention back to Goku.
"Wake up, Goku," said Rae.
"C'mon, Son Goku. Open you damn eyes," said Chima in a not-so-supportive voice.
"Kakarotto!" yelled Vegeta. "Wake up, Kakarotto!"
"Son Goku!"
"Goku!"
"Kakarotto!"
"Goku!"
"Son Goku!"
Snap! Goku's eyes were open, but they weren't very friendly. As a matter of fact, they were red with anger. Rae took a step back, scared out of her mind but unable to say anything just yet.
"What happened to him?" Chima asked no one in particular. Vegeta turned around and grabbed Rae by the neck.
"What did you do to him?" he yelled. Gotenks stepped in and slapped away Vegeta's hand.
"Vegeta! Leave her alone!" Vegeta was pissed. He stood toe to toe with Gotenks.
"Don't ever touch me again. I don't care if you are fusion; it will be the last time you touch anything."
"Vegeta. Gotenks." Everyone turned back toward Chima. The female fusion warrior stepped back a few feet. "We have a problem." First they looked at her, then at Goku. To their shock, Goku had shrunk and was turning pink. Everyone was struck with horror, even Vegeta.
"Impossible… that can't be done."
"Not…him." Gotenks barely managed those two words. He was totally horrified.
"No… Goku." Rae's voice trailed off. She was on the verge of crying; she knew what was happening to him. "Not again."
"Son… Goku!" Chima's voice trailed off as well. She was unable to look at the sight. Goku was now totally pink and short like Buu. He had his hair, but he also had the air holes that Buu had in his head and arms. Goku was now dressed in his normal gi. His eyes were black with red pupils. All of the white was gone. The new Son Goku stood up and smiled evilly at them. He laughed (as True Buu does).
"That's not Kakarotto." Vegeta paused. "That was the reason they wanted him. They wanted to fuse Buu's genes with Kakarotto's to make a super warrior."
"Why?" asked Chima.
"How the hell should I know?" Vegeta looked over at Rae. "What do you know about this?"
"Nothing. I just… there is something that can be done but… I can't remember." Rae held her head, trying to remember. Gotenks jumped in front of her.
"That's okay. While you think I'll…" A bright light encased Gotenks in mid sentence. When it subsided, Gotenks was gone and replaced by both Goten and Trunks.
"The fusion wore off. That's perfect." Chima walked over to Goten and Trunks. "You two won't be of much help. Take Rae and get out of here. Vegeta and I will deal with this." Goten complied immediately and ran off with Rae in his arms. Trunks didn't go as quickly. He stared at the person in front of him.
"Mother?" Their eyes met and there was a long moment where no one said anything.
"Go now." Trunks took one last look before running out the door. Chima watched him the whole way and then turned her attention to Goku. She had a frown on her face. "Who are you?" The new Goku cracked his neck and rested his head on his shoulder.
"Buuku," he grunted.
"Buuku? You are no fusion. Who are you?"
"Buuku." The line of questioning was going nowhere.
"Kakarotto." Buuku looked at Vegeta.
"Buuku!" Buuku exploded with power, blowing Chima and Vegeta across the room. They hit the wall at the same time and fell to the floor.
"That was smart." Chima stood up. Vegeta did the same.
"He doesn't like being called Kakarotto. Big deal."
"It is a big deal, Vegeta. You know what happens when Buu gets angry. He gets really powerful. The last thing we need to do is make him mad." Chima looked at Buuku. He as standing still, waiting for them to do something. "We have to be smart about this."
"What do you expect to do? Reason with him?"
"Damn it, Vegeta! We have to think of some plan. You have to remember that this is Buu and Goku. It is going to be more powerful than anything you have faced. If we don't do this right, we are as good as dead." Vegeta was silent in thought for a moment.
"Fine. What do we do?" Now Chima had to think for a moment. Then she came up with an idea.
"We pray."
