************************************************************************************
The last time in "The Lost Warrior - The Sequel":
Jenny smiled back and kneeled down in front of her children. "Michael, Faith. If I don't survive that, don't do anything stupid. Listen to Shana and go back to our world. You have to take care of your little sister then. Will you do that for me?" The twins nodded. "Good. And remember. I love you… I will always love you." Jenny hugged them tight and then got up, walking to the other warriors. "Let's go."
************************************************************************************Chapter 14: "The Final Battle"
"Come on Buu, don't hide your ki, show yourself." Jenny mumbled. She and the other fighters were gathered at the destroyed main building of CC after they left the Lookout. Pan had told them that Buu would most likely come back to this place to get his challenge with the two women.
On their flight to Capsule Corporation, they hadn't met anyone. It almost seemed as if Buu had killed all the inhabitants of the earth in the two days he gave Jenny and Pan time to get stronger. They couldn't feel any kis either, what made them believe in their suggestion, much to their dislike and anger. But they still had the Namek Dragonballs. After they've killed Buu, they could summon Porunga and wish all the people back to life. Now, they just had to defeat Buu.
"Do you think Buu will be surprised that we got that much stronger in just two days?" Pan asked Jenny, smiling nervously.
"I hope… That could work for us… And remember Pan… Don't go full out at the beginning… We have to test him first. Let Goku and Vegeta fuse first… Maybe they're already strong enough to beat him…" Suddenly Jenny's head jerked up and also the others were looking at the direction she was looking at. "He's coming… Finally."
"Okay, does everyone know what to do?" Vegeta asked as they could see Buu at the horizon. He looked around and earned nods from the other warriors. "Good. Then get ready…"
Not even a minute later Buu was standing in front of them. He cocked his head to one side and eyed the fighters curiously. "Wow, more people who wants to test their strength against me. Can't wait to absorb you… But wait a minute…" he said and turned to Goku and Vegeta. "I killed you. You can't be here."
"Well Buu," Vegeta said, crossing his arms, "we're not that easy to kill. We know that you've challenged the girls, but we want a revenge. We want you to fight us first. So, what do you say?"
"That's okay with me. I'll kill you anyway. Get ready." Buu got into a fighting stance and waited for Goku and Vegeta to do the same. Mirai Goku, Mirai Vegeta, Mirai Gohan, Pan and Jenny got a few steps away from them, letting them space to do the dance and with a loud "Fusion – HA" Goku and Vegeta fused into one warrior. "What the…? Who are you? Where are the other two?"
"I'm neither Goku nor Vegeta. I'm the instrument of your defeat, Gogeta." Gogeta told him and powered up to Super Saiyajin.
"Well Gogeta… You're stronger than anyone I fought before. But you're still not strong enough to defeat me…" Buu said coolly. "But I don't care… I'll simply absorb you and get much stronger."
"Believe me. It won't come that far." Gogeta clenched his fists and lunged at Buu. He didn't want to waste precious time to talk and he wanted to do everything so that Jenny and Pan didn't need to fight.
While Gogeta was flying towards Buu, he threw his fist back and aimed directly at the monster's face and as he reached him, the fist bounced forwards, but Buu was able to catch it. He twisted the arm behind Gogeta's back, letting him grit his teeth. He threw his head backwards, hitting Buu directly in the face, so that he let go of the arm. The fused form of Goku and Vegeta flew a few meters away from him and threw a ki-ball at the monster, but Buu slapped it away with ease. He growled and lunged now at Gogeta. The two fighters exchanged a series of kicks and blows and after a few minutes they separated. After taking a few deep breaths, the fight started anew. For the ones who watched the fight it looked like the two warriors were about equal and it seemed like both sides were going full out.
"They really could do it!" Pan said excited as she watched the fight.
"Yes, it looks like it," Mirai Gohan agreed.
"This Fusion thing is really great. Hey Vegeta, we should train it as well," Mirai Goku told his fellow Saiyajin.
"Yeah, doesn't look too bad. But don't think I would ever fuse with you."
After a few more minutes, both fighters landed, taking a small break. "Hey Buu, looks like… I will finish you off… You can't win."
"Really? I'm sorry to disappoint you. But do you really think that I already showed you all my power?" Buu asked him smirking as he powered up.
"What the…. That's impossible!" Gogeta said shocked and tried as well to power up.
"Shit, he was just playing with them. They can't win against him."
"Jenny, are you sure about that? I mean, they still can go further, can't they?" Pan wanted to know.
"No, it doesn't matter how good they are. They aren't trained to power up to further levels. Okay, they could still reach SSJ2, but they could just stay in this form for a few more minutes. And their time's up soon."
"She's right," Mirai Vegeta told Pan. "It looks like it's now up to you to save this planet and universe."
Jenny and Mirai Vegeta were right with their guess. Gogeta was barely able to go SSJ2, but it took a huge amount of energy out of him and much to their dislike, as Buu stopped his power up, his ki was far too big for Gogeta.
"So, now I'm at the maximum of my power. And you too as it seems. Well, then, let's continue the fight." With that Buu disappeared and reappeared directly in front of Gogeta, kicking him in his gut. Gogeta doubled over and Buu used the chance to hit him once more, this time in the face, letting the warrior fall to the ground. As Gogeta slowly got up, Buu was already waiting for him and as he was on his knees, he kicked him anew, sending him flying through a few buildings. Buu followed him and caught him on the other side in a bear hug. "What did you just say, Gogeta? You wanted to finish me off? Well, I'm waiting." He kicked him with his knee in the back, sending him all the way back to CC. Shortly before he reached the others, he changed back into normal and the Fusion gave out, so that the almost unconscious bodies of Goku and Vegeta hit the ground in front of the other fighters. Pan and Jenny were immediately at their sides, Jenny kneeling next to Vegeta and Pan kneeling next to Goku.
"Hey you two! Are you okay?" Pan asked with tears in her eyes.
"Not really…" Goku answered, trying to smile a bit, but only succeeded with a painful grimace.
"Grandpa, where are the senzus?" she suddenly asked.
"They… they must be at my belt…"
Pan looked but just shook her head. "They aren't there."
"Do you miss something?" Startled they looked back up. They didn't notice that Buu was back already, but as they looked at him, they saw that he was holding a small bag in his hand. "This small bag seems to be important for you. Let's see what happens when I do that…" He threw the bag in the air and shot a small ki-blast at it, pulverizing it at once. "Oops, I destroyed it. Too bad."
"You bastard," Jenny mumbled.
"Hey, hey, no need to insult me. You can try to kick my ass now. I challenge you and the other girl. Get ready. I'll wait for you," he said and walked away, sitting down on a rock and taking a small nap.
"Jenny?" she heard Vegeta asking and looked down at him.
"Vegeta… Why do I have a déja-vu?" she asked, grinning slightly.
"I don't know, but this whole situation is also familiar to me… But this time there isn't a prophecy, which tells you that you would die, and you didn't dream about it… So I'm sure that you will win…"
"Yeah… no prophecy this time…" Jenny just said. She didn't want to tell him about her last dream. She didn't want him or the others to worry. They needed faith to defeat Buu, just as Bardock told her.
"Jenny, can we go?" Pan wanted to know.
"Yeah," Jenny nodded and turned to the other fighters. "Bring them somewhere where they don't get in our way."
"Sure. Jenny, Pan, good luck," Mirai Goku said and lifted up his other self. Mirai Vegeta did the same and they left, letting the two women alone with Buu.
"Pan, are you ready?" Jenny wanted to know.
"I'm always ready to kick his ass," Pan told her smirking.
"Good, then let's show him what Jen can do!" Pan nodded at Jenny and they stepped a few meters away from each other, preparing the Fusion-Dance.
Buu suddenly woke up as he felt a new big ki, not far away from him. As he looked into this direction, he saw a woman with long blond hair, wearing white pants, top and vest. "Ah, I see… You did the same thing as the two weaklings I fought before…"
"That's right. I'm Jen, the fused form of Jenny and Pan. But I'm stronger than Gogeta, much stronger. I will kill you, no matter what."
"Okay, show me what you can do," Buu challenged Jen and got into a fighting stance.
With a loud scream, Jen powered up and transformed into SSJ3. The impact of the power-up was that big and unexpected by Buu, so that he was thrown a few meters backward. Jen used the chanced and attacked him at once. Buu regained his composure quickly and managed to block the attack. "Not bad. You're definitely stronger. But that still won't be enough."
"Are you sure?" Jen asked him smirking, kicking him in his jaw and doing a somersault backwards. At the same moment she landed, she rushed again forward, as did Buu and within milliseconds they were engaged in a brutal fight, but none of them seemed to get the upper hand or seemed to get tired, they just beat each other mercilessly.
~*~
"That's incredible. Jen's incredible strong. Just as strong as Buu," Chris said totally in awe.
"Does that mean Jenny and Pan could really beat him?" Shana asked disbelieving and Chris just nodded. They were first a bit worried as the kids told them the drastic decrease in Gogeta's ki, but now they had new hope that the earth could be freed from Buu's terror.
~*~
After a few minutes of their fight, Jen managed to kick Buu, so that he flew through a few buildings, which collapsed and buried him. That small moment she used to take a breath. 'Shit… We're totally equal. It's taking too much time… I have to do it…' At that moment the ruins of the building exploded and a very angry Buu stepped out of it.
"I must admit, I've underestimated you. But you can't stay much longer in that form. And when the fusion gives out, you'll be dead. That's your weakness," he said, but Jen just smirked coolly.
"Do you really think I've already shown you my true strength?"
"So, you say you can still get stronger… Show me…"
"As you wish…" Jen formed a small ki ball in her hand and threw it into the air. Interested, Buu stared at the scene, which played in front of him. The woman transformed into a giant, golden monkey and growled as the transformation ended. But she didn't stay long in this form and a gold aura surrounded her like fire and the form began to shrink again to human size. But much to his surprise, she had changed much. Red fur was covering her body and tail and her hair was black again, and even wilder than before.
"Buu, I hope you're ready to die, because I will eliminate you now," Jen told him confidently and lunged at him. Buu tried to block her attack, but she easily broke through it, punching him in his face. Normally Buu could recover quickly, but this time, he didn't even have enough time to breath, because Jen was simply too fast for him, and not even a minute later he was lying on the ground, covered in bruises. At the moment he tried to get up, Jen already waited for him and kicked him first in his stomach and then at his head. Right after she connected with the head, steam rose out of the little holes in it and Buu spat out a figure through one hole and Jen also noticed that his ki decreased after that. She threw a quick glance at the figure and smirked. It was Mirai Trunks. 'So they're really not dead.'
~*~
"I can't believe it!" Michael suddenly shouted.
"Shh. Not so loud," Shana told him, pointing to the sleeping body in her lap. It was Faith. She wanted to stay awake during the fight, but since she didn't sleep much in the last nights, she was too tired and simply fell asleep.
"Oh, sorry…" he whispered, "But I can feel a faint ki… It's not strong, but it's there. It's Mirai Trunks from what I can tell."
"So they must've managed somehow that Buu spat him out, or something like that… We really have a chance to win this time," Muten Roshi told them thoughtful and the others nodded, their hope growing.
~*~
Buu was shocked. He did never expect that this form of Jen was that powerful, much more powerful than he was. That was the moment when realization hit him. He would die. He couldn't stand a chance against this woman, this warrior. But he wouldn't let her win that easily. He wouldn't give up.
"Looks like you've lost something, Buu…" Jen interrupted him in his thoughts. "And I think there's still much more you can lose." Without hesitating, Jen lunged again forward, hitting him non-stop. And she was right. Through the holes in his head raised more steam, and slowly all of the absorbed warriors were spat out. After Mirai Trunks, it was Goten and Trunks and as he spat out Gohan, the last one, Buu changed back into his fat form, but that didn't stop Jen from attacking him and after a short time something happened, what she hadn't expected. More steam raised up, and a fat figure appeared, a figure that looked exactly like fat Buu. Stunned Jen watched as Buu changed again, this time into the small and not that threatening form of her dream. But she quickly regained her composure. She knew she could fight one Buu with ease, but she didn't know how it would be with two Buus, so she charged a big ki-blast and shot it at the fat Buu, destroying him immediately before he regained back consciousness. After that she turned her gaze back to the small one, who just smiled cockily. Growling, Jen attacked again, and even though this Buu seemed to be much stronger than the forms before him, she was still stronger and beat him up pretty badly, using really all of her strength, because she knew that her time would be up soon and she had to kill him before that would happen.
~*~
As Faith woke up, she didn't know where she was. She tried to stand up, but had a hard time doing this, because her whole body was aching and she was bleeding from several wounds. Around her were ruins everywhere, but as she took a better look at her surroundings, she recognized them as the surface of the Lookout, just badly destroyed. That was when she noticed the battered bodies around her. There were Mirai Goku, Mirai Vegeta, Mirai Gohan, Pan and even Michael, Will, Chris, ChiChi, Muten Roshi, Mr. Popo and Shana. "But where's mom?" she mumbled almost unnoticeable. At exactly that moment she heard some strange noises not far away from her. Faith climbed over a pile of rubbles and limped towards the noises. After a few steps she could see them. Her mother and Buu, but another Buu, a smaller one. It seemed as if her mother fought Buu, but he had grabbed her by her throat. Faith could see how her mother struggled to get free, but didn't succeed and got weaker by every second, until her arms fell and her head cocked to the side and her eyes closed. "NO! MOM! MOMMY!" Faith shouted.
~*~
The small girl woke up with a start and immediately sat up, much to the surprise of the others in the room. They've noticed that Faith was quite troubled in her sleep, but they thought it was because of the current situation. "Faith? Are you okay?" Shana asked her worried, but Faith didn't even listen. She mumbled something the others didn't understand and jumped up, running to the door of the room. "Faith! Stay here!" Shana shouted but it was too late, the girl already left the room. The three boys nodded at each other and followed her quickly, as well as Shana, ChiChi, Mr. Popo and Muten Roshi. But the boys first reached her, as they were already all on the surface of the Lookout.
"Faith, please, we have to get back… please, sis," Michael pleaded. He knew how dangerous it was for them to be there as long as Buu wasn't dead.
"But… mom… she'll…"
"She'll be okay… believe me… and now come, Faith please…" he said and took her hand.
~*~
Jen and Buu were standing a few meters away from each other. Buu was quite beaten up and had a hard time standing straight, while Jen had almost no bruises and was just lightly out of breath. She took a deep breath and took her hands at one of her sides, preparing the final blow, as Buu's head suddenly jerked up. He smirked at her and took off into the sky. "What the hell?" Jen asked herself, but suddenly it hit her. She could feel the kis of the others and Buu took off to the direction of the Lookout. "Holy shit!" she cursed and followed him, but he had a head start.
~*~
"Where are they going?" Mirai Gohan asked surprised as he saw both Buu and Jen taking off into the sky.
"I think Buu has felt the kis on the Lookout and is now going there," Mirai Vegeta stated.
"I hope that she gets him before he reaches the Lookout. But what are we waiting for? Let's follow them. She could need our help," Mirai Goku said.
"And what shall we do with them?" Mirai Gohan wanted to know as he pointed to the still unconscious Goku and Vegeta.
"We have to leave them here. But don't worry, they will be okay…" Mirai Goku told him. He threw one last look at his and Vegeta's other self and followed Jen, as well as Mirai Vegeta and Mirai Gohan.
~*~
"Do you really think she will be okay?" Faith asked her brother worried.
"Sure, it's mom. She will be allright… Come on… Let's go back down…" Faith nodded and Michael began to lead her to the others, who've watched the whole scene as they suddenly felt a strong ki on the Lookout. They looked around and saw Buu standing there.
"Well, what do we have here? A few weaklings, who liked to be killed." With that he lunged at the group, ready to kill them, but as he felt Jen's ki near the Lookout, he changed his decision and just grabbed the nearest person, who happened to be Faith, holding her in front of his body at the exact moment as Jen arrived on the Lookout.
She was ready to attack him and finish him off, as she saw that he was holding her daughter as some kind of shield in front of his body. "Let her go!" she growled. "She's as innocent as the other people here. It's just you and me, remember?"
"For someone that innocent, she is quite strong. But I could snap her body like nothing… You wanna see?"
Jen growled again. She knew she just had about one or two minutes left. But as long as he held Faith, she couldn't attack him.
At exactly that moment Mirai Gohan and Mirai Vegeta appeared on the Lookout. The sudden appearance of the two kis distracted Buu for a short time, but long enough for SSJ2 Mirai Goku to get in front of him with Shunkan Idou, grab Faith and disappear again. Jen threw the other warriors a small grateful look and lunged again at Buu. She hit him until he was cornered and prepared her final Kamehameha to kill him. "So Buu, say your prayers." She just wanted to release the Kamehameha as she suddenly felt somehow strange and not even a second later she felt how all the strength and energy of her body disappeared and how the one body was divided into two.
~*~
The others, who were still watching the fight, stared in shock at the happenings not far away from them. "Shit, the Fusion gives out," Mirai Vegeta said as he watched it.
"What? Why now? She almost did it!" ChiChi wanted to know.
"The time was up… She stayed in this form too long," her son informed her.
"That's bad… Jen was the only one who could kill Buu… And now it's all lost… He's still too strong for us…" Mirai Goku said thoughtful.
~*~
Jenny and Pan were first a bit disoriented after the Fusion gave out, but those few seconds were enough for Buu to realize what has happened and using it for his advantage. He rushed forwards and hit both Pan and Jenny, using those unprepared Saiyajins as punching bags.
"Mom! Pan!" Faith shouted and without even powering up she lunged at Buu, but he knocked her through a few walls totally effortlessly, where she remained lying unconsciously.
After Buu took care of the girl, he drew his attention back to Jenny and Pan, who've finally realized what has happened. They powered up as high as they could, what was SSJ after they needed so much energy for SSJ4 and got into a fighting stance, ready for the next attack. Buu didn't wait long with his next attack, since he knew that he had again the upper hand. It did just take about a minute until he knocked the two women out. He simply kicked Pan to the ground and Jenny into the next best wall of the palace.
"He's coming here now," Mirai Vegeta said. "Brats. Take the weak away, so that Buu can't find them."
"Okay," Will answered, but as they turned around, Buu was already standing there.
"Where do you want to go? Do you already want to leave this party? I don't think so," he simply said and punched Will in his guts, letting him fall over unconsciously. Buu then did a roundhouse kick, knocking Chris out and eventually sent a ki-blast at Michael, that sent him flying backwards into the humans, knocking all of them out cold. "And now to you…" Buu said as he turned to the three remaining Saiyans. They all turned SSJ2 and attacked Buu at once, but he easily blocked and dodged their attacks, taking them down one at time until all of them were also on the ground and lost their consciousness. As he heard a moan from behind he turned around and saw how Jenny slowly tried to get up. He smirked and slowly walked up to her.
~*~
"Oww." Jenny groaned, as she slowly tried to get up and open her eyes. 'Why does that all feel so familiar? Oh, yeah, right… my dream… That must mean, that when I open my eyes now, I must see Buu walking towards me…' She opened them and closed them again. 'Can't I just dream like others do, without those nightmares coming true?' she asked herself sarcastically. Jenny squeezed her eyes shut and tried to get up, using the wall behind her as support. As she thought that she could stand without help, she opened her eyes again and saw that Buu was now just a few meters away from her. Like in her dream she tried to power up, but didn't succeed. 'Okay, I can't go Super Saiyan, but I can as well try to fight him in my current form… Maybe I can change my vision, again… And what can I lose except my life? I can just win.' With that, she growled and lunged at Buu, but wasn't even able to reach him, before he grabbed her at her throat, lifting her from the ground. 'Okay, so much to the case change my vision.' Jenny struggled desperate to somehow get free from this iron grip, but she just felt herself getting weaker as she tried to snap after air, but she slowly felt her arms going limp and felt herself drifting into unconsciousness. 'Michael, Faith, Joey, Trunks… I love you.'
~*~
"Oh my god, I can't watch anymore…" Kaiousama said and broke his connection to the earth. It was simply terrible, and he couldn't bear watching how everyone died and the fate of the universe was decided for Buu.
~*~
"So, that was it," the old Kaioushin said, as he let the sphere, through which they watched the fight until now, disappear. "They can't do anything anymore. That's the end of the universe."
~*~
Faith had just woken up like she did in her dream and climbed over the pile of rubbles, when she saw Buu holding her mother and how the woman lost her consciousness. As the eyes of the woman closed and her head fell to the side, Faith felt how tears were running down her cheeks and how the anger rose in her body. "Mom…" she whispered almost unnoticeable. "Mommy…" she said, this time a bit louder. "NOOOOO!"
~*~
Buu noticed all of sudden a ki exploding just a few meters away from him. As he looked into this direction, he saw the small girl he had knocked out before, floating in the air, a red and black aura surrounding her. He stared at her in shock as the ki didn't stop rising and got closer to his ki constantly. He let go of Jenny, throwing her to the ground and lunged at Faith, but was thrown back by the crackling aura around her. "What the hell?" he asked himself as he got up again.
After what seemed like hours for Buu, what in reality was just about a minute, the girl floated back down to the ground, the aura around her vanishing. As she raised her head and opened her eyes, Buu could see that they were no longer black, but red. He couldn't believe what he saw and felt. The ki of the kid was as strong as his and she didn't seem to fear him.
Faith smirked and walked up to him, so that she was just a few steps away from Buu. She clenched her fists and with a loud scream the ground of the Lookout began to crack and the bodies of her unconscious friends and family rose from the ground. Now Buu was afraid, because the power level of the girl was rising again and was now far stronger than his and even much stronger than Jen was at Super Saiyan 4. As she stopped the screaming, the bodies fell back to the ground, but Faith didn't stop smirking. "Now you'll pay."
"What?"
Faith lunged forward and hit Buu in his stomach, letting him double over. After that she went down to the ground and kicked his feet away, but before he could touch the ground, she kicked him in the back, letting him fly high into the air. Faith coolly raised her hands and prepared a huge ki-blast in her palms. "Disintegrate into nothing Buu!" she shouted and sent the ki-blast at him, pulverizing him instantly without a chance of regenerating. Directly after the blast subsided and Faith felt that Buu was gone her eyes changed back from red to black and she fainted.
