"Time for the last match of the semi-finals! It's Vegeta Briefs, who has displayed excellent talent here today, against Mr. Satan's best student Mr. Buu!"
Still shaking with rage, Vegeta entered the ring. Buu took up a position opposite him.
"BEGIN!"
As had happened twice before, Buu simply stood there. Vegeta charged over to him. At the last possible second, he leapt into the air. When he came down, he planted his feet directly in his opponent's face. He didn't budge.
Before Buu could grab him, as he had done to Jinsoku and Juuhachigou, Vegeta launched himself away, his strength sufficient to free his feet from the odd pink material that Buu was made of. As he descended, he fired off a few quick ki blasts that impacted on Buu's chest to no effect.
Suddenly Buu disappeared. A moment later Vegeta felt a tremendous blow connect to the back of his head; his opponent had used his superior speed to get behind him.
The force of the strike was enough to send him tumbling to the other side of the ring. When he rose, Buu was again simply standing there. The Saiyan king used the pause in the action to analyze his opponent.
Buu had the advantages in strength, speed, and durability. So what did that leave him? He had the edge in intelligence, no doubt about it; Buu made Kakarot look like a genius. But how could he turn that into a victory?
Trying to stall for time, he unleashed a blistering wave of attacks, firing countless numbers of small blasts at Buu. It was the same technique he had used on Cell after Mirai had been killed.
It appeared to be having about the same effect, too; Buu was simply walking through them as if they weren't there, slowly but relentlessly approaching him. At the last possible moment, Vegeta halted his attack and leapt high over Buu, landing behind him.
"Vegeta is using some amazing looking techniques, but none of them appear to be having any effect on Buu! He appears to be fighting a losing battle!" yelled the Budokai Announcer.
The pointy-haired warrior began to breathe hard. Once again, Buu was walking towards him. Vegeta frantically tried to think of a way to win.
And then he got an idea.
He walked to the edge of the ring. He looked at the grass beyond the ring for a moment, then turned to face his opponent.
"Hey! Come here!"

Bulma blinked.

"What's your dad doing?" Goten asked Trunks, who could merely shake his head in confusion in reply.
***
Buu appeared puzzled. Vegeta waved at him, and again told him to come to him. Hesitantly, the pink creature walked in his direction.
"What is it?" asked Buu.
"I've found this really interesting rock," replied Vegeta. Part of him was unable to believe he had actually said that. "See? It's right there."
As Buu leaned over to try and see the rock, Vegeta let out an almighty scream and released a small but tremendously powerful blast from his hands. It connected with his opponent.
As Buu struggled desperately to regain his balance, the Saiyan king landed dozens of superspeed blows on his back.
It was enough to tip the balance. Buu toppled out of the ring.
There was a silence for a moment. Then the Budokai Announcer yelled, "Mr. Buu is out of the ring...winner, VEGETA BRIEFS!"
***
"Alright! Go Dad!" Trunks hopped up and down joyously.
***
"Of the many who competed in this tournament, now only two remain! The final match to determine the championship will be Mr. Satan vs. Vegeta Briefs! We'll have the exciting final round in ten minutes...don't you dare miss it!"

Gohan and Videl just stared at the television. Then, they burst into laughter.
