Chapter Three: Saving The Future
Rage and determination filled Cloud's eyes as he continued yelling at the top of his lungs, arching his back and clinching his fists tightly. The entire Earth began shaking violently. Goku, Vegeta, Dende and Hercule all had to sheild their eyes, Hercule covering Bee's to sheild his too. Cloud's yell increased in volume, and suddenly, the light faded, they all uncovered their eyes, and gasped at what they saw before them.
Raw blue energy seemed to be swimming around Cloud's body, his face was hardened by his transformation, his hair reached all the way down to the small of his back. Cloud looked alot like Goku in his Super Saiyan Three transformation, but amazingly stronger. The whites of his eyes were light gray, his pupils still teal, but with a slight tint of crimson to them.
"Well Buu....you may be strong, but let's see how well you fair against a Super Saiyan Four..."
Everyone, including Buu was at a loss for words, not only at the transformation, but at Cloud's power in this level. He seemed to not have too much trouble holding the level, whiched added to their shock, and his power dwarfed Buu's greatly.
"HE DID WHAT?!"
Vegeta looked on in utter shock, he no longer felt envy, spite, or any other feeling that involved in that area towards Cloud, in fact, he actually, for the first time in his life, was starting to feel afraid of another's power.
"I can't believe this....Vegeta....he...he actually went Super Saiyan Four..."
"Bbbut....that's impossible Kakkarot!"
"I know....I can't believe it either..."
Cloud smirked, and deciding not to waste any time, quickly faded in front of the shocked Majin Buu, slamming a punch into his gut. Cloud's arm went straight through Buu from the impact, sending chunks of pink everywhere, and Buu cried out in pain as Cloud yanked his arm out. Cloud then elbowed Buu in the back of his head, knocking Buu down to the Earth with ease. Buu climbed out of the crater in pain moments later, and Cloud appeared in front of him, grinning, before he started using Buu like a punching bag, literally.
'His...his speed....it's too great, how is he this powerful? NO ONE is as powerful as me!'
Buu's head was spinning, and he let out a cry of rage, using every ounce of power in his body to push Cloud back. Buu let out another cry, and he went to his maximum, which was still not even close to Cloud's power.
'If I can't over power him...I'll have to use every advantage I have...'
Letting out a yell, Buu suddenly fired an eye beam, right into Cloud's eyes. Crying out in suprise, Cloud clawed at his eyes in pain, and Buu quickly shot forward, launching a hard knee, right into Cloud's jaw. A cracking noise was heard, and blood started to trickle out of Cloud's mouth. Cloud cringed as he popped his jaw back in place, and he grit his teeth angrily, searching through blurred eyes for Buu.
"Miss me?"
Cloud let out a cry of suprise as Buu wrapped his tentacle around his body from behind, sending jolts of pink energy into Cloud's body. Cloud struggled to get free, and managed to in a matter of seconds. Buu smirked, and quickly went for another eye beam to Cloud's eyes, but Cloud smacked it aside, scowling deeply.
"Enough cheap shots, I'm going to end this now"
Cloud quickly launched himself at Buu, but Buu had expected his attack to be deflected, and before Cloud knew what was happening, Buu faded out of sight.
Cloud blinked in suprise, before turning around quickly and sheilding his eyes, just as he expected, Buu had fired another eye beam at him. Cloud sensed Buu's ki moving in, and shot his leg out to kick, only to swing at air, Buu dodged the attack easily and got under Cloud, turning upside down in mid air, and firing a kick right between Cloud's legs....
"Oh...My....Word..."
Kaiobit cringed in pain as he saw what happened in the Elder Kai's crystal ball, as did the Elder Kai. Back on Earth, Vegeta and Goku both grit their teeth, angry that if they tried to help, they'd be killed easily by Buu.
Dende, knowing that human males had that certain...weak spot, he shook his head.
"What a low blow..."
Hercule looked at Dende, his eyes little dots, his face looked pained from that sight, and he managed to squek out-
"You...have no idea..."
Cloud let out a loud cry of pain, doubling over and gritting his teeth in pain, falling towards the ground, but Buu faded under him, and quickly wrapped his tentacle around Cloud's legs, flipping him upside down quickly and then launching him as hard as he could into the ground, creating a HUGE crater.
"Oh no...Vegeta....his life force is fading..."
"No...Kakkarot...this can't be happening...."
Buu smirked, firing a large pink beam right into the crater, and another cry of pain was heard, as smoke continued to pour out from the crater.
"We....we failed....I failed....it's over...Buu won..."
Kaiobit looked shocked, worried and saddened all at once.
"I failed you Elder...I'm a disgrace to the Kai Line..."
"Don't get down on yourself yet young one, do you feel that?"
"Feel what sir?"
"The warriors energy is returning, and at a rapid pace..."
The smoke slowly began to clear, and Cloud floated back out, scowling in pain up at Buu, who growled, suprised that Cloud got back up.
"You...are...pathetic....Buu, using....cheap shots....like that..."
"Enough talk..."
Buu growled, charging a large ball of pink energy in both of his hands.
"IT'S OVER! TIME FOR YOU AND THIS PLANET TO DIE!"
Buu launched one of his strongest attacks ever straight at Cloud, and Cloud, not expecting the sudden attack, and weakened by the battle itself, got hit head on, launched right into the ground, on the verge of death. He hadn't fallen out of SSJ4, but his life force was fading. Buu began to laugh and celebrate, knowing that victory was right in front of him, as all the others watched in horror.
'No...I....I failed.....this can't happen....'
Cloud grit his teeth, slowly beginning to stand, his body tired and weak, but he wouldn't let that stop him...
'No...I won't let them down....I can't...I WON'T LET THEM DIE! I WON'T LET THESE INNOCENT PEOPLE DIE!'
Cloud scowled, his energy began to sky rocket again, his anger was fueling him now, and his Mage powers were surging again within him, giving his Saiyan powers a HUGE boost, the aura around his body exploded again as he let out a cry of rage.
'I WON'T LET PAN DOWN! I WON'T LET MY CHILDREN DOWN! I WON'T LET THE EARTH AND IT'S FUTURE DOWN! I REFUSE TO DO SO!'
Cloud let out another yell, and Buu's eyes widened as he felt his foe's energy surging once again....
"Vegeta....Vegeta look!"
"Kakkarot, his energy is rising even higher then before! What in the name of Kami is happening?!"
Vegeta and Goku watched the sky, as Cloud shot up into the air, glaring at Buu, blue sparks flying everywhere around his body, and Buu floated back, realizing that Cloud's energy wasn't going to stop rising anytime soon...
"I forgot to mention something Buu....when I get a power boost in this level I'm in....or maybe my emotions get out of control and fuel my energy....my Mage powers get boosted, as does my Saiyan powers...and the combined boost allows me to go one last level...the level in which I will kill you in..."
Buu's eyes widened in shock, and he slowly floated backwards even more...
"WHAT?! ANOTHER LEVEL?!"
Goku and Vegeta both cried out in suprise. Hiding behind a rock, Dende, Hercule and Bee watched on in amazement, while in the Other World, Kaiobit and Elder Kai both looked closer to their crystal ball, not able to believe what was happening...
"YOU WILL PAY FOR EVERY PERSON YOU'VE KILLED BUU! I WILL SEE TO IT!"
Cloud clinched his fists tightly together, he brought up his knees and elbows, and lowered his head, letting out a loud yell. Instantly, the entire Earth started shaking even harder then when Cloud transformed to SSJ4, and the sky slowly began to darken, clouds that were once white turned dark gray, and the energy surging around Cloud's body lit everything within 5 miles around them up. Navy blue and crimson red energy bolts were shooting out from Cloud's body as his energy grew and grew.
Cloud let out another yell of rage and power, and slowly his hair began to get longer, rising up as it was before to it's position of being spiked straight up into the air. Cloud grit his teeth, before letting out another yell.
"How...how is he...how is he gathering so much power?!"
"I...don't know young Kai....I just...I don't know..."
Cloud's muscles bulged out even more, and his aura began growing larger, as Buu looked on in horror. Soon, all of them had to sheild their eyes from the bright blue and red light flashing around Cloud. Inside of Cloud's mind, a war was raging, as energy cracked around outside of him.
Inside Cloud's mind, an Oozaro Ape could be seen, roaring to a full moon, as across from it on a cliff, a Mage Wolf howled to the same moon. Slowly the picture began to swirl with the energy from Cloud's body, and the wolf seemed to grow just as large as the ape. Slowly, the two animals joined as one, the Oozaro Ape and the Mage Wolf coming together. The new animal had the face of a wolf with the ears of the ape, the giant arms of the ape, but much like a centaur, it had four legs like a wolfs to support itself. The creature let out a roar, and Cloud's face slowly faded infront of it.
The two images, Cloud's face and the creature, began to flash violently, and the two began joining together just as the Wolf and the Ape had, but the change only happened on the inside...on Cloud's outside the change was becomming much more different...
Cloud let out another loud yell, the yell itself shaking the Earth to it's core, as he continued powering up. His hair, now 3/4's the size of his body, somehow remained spiked up in the air, and the whites of Cloud's eyes flashed black.
Cloud's once teal pupils were completely crimson now, his eyebrows a darker shade of blue, seemingly outlined with black. Two bands had appeared on his wrists, almost like a conductor for his power so that it could continue flowing through him. Cloud looked like an entirely new person, and when he spoke, his voice sounded much colder, and calmer.
"First...I will free the Z Fighters that you killed, I need not to use Dragon Balls when my Mage techniques at this level can bring them back..."
And with that, before Buu could react, Cloud launched a crimson sphere of energy into Buu's gut, it didn't slice through, but it seemed like it was absorbed into Buu. Buu blinked a few times, before letting out a cry of pain and grabbing at his gut....
It wasn't there.
Buu let out a gasp of shock and looked at where his gut once was, only to see a giant blob of pink floating in front of him. Buu tried regenerating the hole, but he couldn't. Shocked, Buu looked at Cloud in horror, who simply flicked his wrist, and the pink blob that was once his gut suddenly split into two seperate peices, and light suddenly exploded from them.
"What...what is he doing?"
Dende looked on shocked, wondering what was going on, when suddenly, he gasped, feeling a couple of familiar impending kis.
"He's bringing the others back! But how?!"
Cloud smirked, and suddenly, several forms of light shot forth from Buu's seperated stomach, forming into the bodies of the startled Z Team.
Goku, Vegeta, Hercule, Dende and even Kaiobit and Elder Kai all gasped from their veiwing places. Slowly fading into veiw were their old friends and allies...
Yamcha, Krillin, 18, Marron, Videl, The Ox King, ChiChi, Bulma, Mr.Popo, everyone, they were all floating there, startled, but still there.
Cloud made a motion with his hand, nd they all gently floated to the ground, looking at each other in shock.
"What happened?!"
ChiChi looked at her hands, and then looked up, seeing Goku.
"GOKU!"
She practically flew to her feet and hugged onto Goku tightly, who laughed a bit and hugged her back. Vegeta grunted and turned his attention to Bulma, who smiled at Vegeta, running over and hugging him. Caught off gaurd, Vegeta didn't respond for several seconds, before, much to everyone's shock, he returned Bulma's hug.
"Glad to see you back Bulma..."
Bulma's eyes watered as she looked back at Vegeta.
"You actually called me by my name for once..."
"Hey, what can I say, Onna was starting to sound old..."
Bulma let out a slight chuckle, before another voice cut in.
"M-m-m-m..Majin Buu! He's still here!"
Everyone looked up, and saw Majin Buu, looking alot stronger then before, but also looking like he was scared sensless.
Then they saw why.
Floating 15 feet in front of him, Cloud remained there, looking rather unemotionally down to them, he grunted a bit, starting to turn his attention back towards Buu, before he stopped, his eyes latching onto Videl.
"Who is that guy..? And why is he staring at me?"
Cloud's lips curled into a smirk, and he nodded to Videl, before turning to Buu once again.
"Now Buu, before I kill you, it's time I free those you've trapped within you..."
"W-what?!"
Cloud let out a cold laugh, his smirk growing larger, and he shot his hand forward at Buu. Instantly, a bright blue beam arched up into the air above Buu, gworing into a large orb, Buu looked up, and before he could react in time to move, the ball encompased him completely.
"HAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!"
Cloud let out a loud yell, his muscles started to bulge a bit, and a few more forms began to form within the ball around Buu.
"What the heck is he doing?!"
Hercule had just stopped hugging Videl long enough to look up and stare at them, as Dende came over to talk with everyone, before he too looked back up once again. Even Bee was curious enough to look up once again, and when everyone realized what was going on, they all gasped.
Cloud chuckled as the orb faded, and floating around Buu, was Trunks, Goten, Piccolo, and Gohan.
"What the? What just happened?"
Gohan looked around at his surroundings, seeing Piccolo, Trunks and Goten.
"We got out?!"
Suddenly, he turned to see Buu, in his original state once again, still looking shocked, staring at someone.
Gohan turned his head and gasped, he was staring directly at some sort of a warrior who appeared to be a rather...morphed, Saiyan. And he seemed to be in a whole new transformation he'd never even dreamt of before.
"Hello, Gohan."
And with that, Cloud waved his hand, and they all floated down to the ground. Piccolo looked at Dende and smirked slightly.
"Good to see you again, Dende"
"Heh, hey Piccolo"
Goten looked over and saw his parents smiling at him.
"Mommy! Daddy!"
Goten started laughing and ran over to them, jumping up into his fathers arms and trying his best to hug both ChiChi and Goku.
Meanwhile, Trunks looked at Vegeta and his mother in shock.
"M-mmom? D-dad?! You're alive?!"
Vegeta smirked as bulma nodded, her eyes tearing again.
"Yes, son, we are."
Trunks smiled widely, his own eyes watering, and he ran over to them, hugging them both the best he could. Bulma smiled, ruffling Trunks' hair, and Trunks laughed a bit, before looking up at his father, ignoring the halo floating above his head.
"Dad...why did you do what you did back before you died?"
Vegeta frowned slightly, before sighing.
"I didn't want you to see me sacrifice myself son, I didn't think you needed to see me die. I'm very proud of how well you and Kakkarot's youngest bra-er, child, faired against Buu, you did your best, and that's all that matters."
Trunks grinned happily, glad to see his dad's slight change in attitude.
Meanwhile, Gohan was being welcomed back in a different way.
"Gohan! You're alive!"
Videl ran over to Gohan, hugging him tightly and crying into his gi. Gohan just stood there, still dumbstruck, before he brought his hand up behind his head, rubbing it and laughing a bit.
"Yeah...I uh...I guess I am!"
"Don't you ever leave me again Gohan..."
"Heheh, okay Videl."
Videl smiled up at Gohan, who grinned back down at her, before they turned their attention to the two fighters in the sky, as well as everyone else.
"Now Buu...now you pay for all that you've done..."
"Bbut...but how?"
"Really now, are you sure you want those to be your last words of existance before I wipe you out completely?"
"You...you can't defeat me! I'm Buu! The strongest fighter in the Universe!"
"Buu, times had changed in the future, you're nothing compaired to some of the people there now, I'm among the strongest, they sent me, and here I am. Now prepare to die Buu...prepare to die."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
Next Time On Dragon Ball Z:
"HAAAA!"
Cloud let a large wave of energy crash into Buu, sending the pink creature hard into a mountain. For once, the mountain didn't break, and Buu was embedded into it.
"This is it Buu....say goodbye."
----------------------------------------
"This is for Videl..."
Videl blinked in suprise as Cloud launched a hard beam into Buu, suprised he knew her name.
"This is for Gohan..."
Gohan looked at Videl, who looked at him, both equallly confused as to how Cloud knew their names.
"This...this is for Pan..."
Cloud launched an even larger beam at Buu, completely destroying a chunk of his body.
"And this is for Earth..."
Cloud threw another beam, which took out another chunk of Buu, who was gasping in pain at this point, not being able to reginerate himself.
"KA ME TU ET BA HO TAU MET LAH KAAAAAAAIIIIIIIII!"
Cloud let out a yell, small beams forming at his fingertips, this was it, the final blow, and Buu would finally be defeated....
-End-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
A/N: More on Pan, but no clues as to why yet! And how the heck does he know Gohan and Videl? Well, he IS from the future, but how does he know them there? Oh and by the way, I know it seems corny to have a guy who can go to Super Saiyan Five, which never existed in the series, but it goes along with the fic, and he isn't entirelly Saiyan, he's part Mage, which gives him a slight power boost. So that's why he can go that far. I tried my best to make it not seem corny, hope it worked, stay tuned for the next chapter! ^_^

Rage and determination filled Cloud's eyes as he continued yelling at the top of his lungs, arching his back and clinching his fists tightly. The entire Earth began shaking violently.

Letting out a yell, Buu suddenly fired an eye beam, right into Cloud's eyes. Crying out in suprise, Cloud clawed at his eyes in pain, and Buu quickly shot forward, launching a hard knee, right into Cloud's jaw. A cracking noise was heard, and blood started to trickle out of Cloud's mouth. Cloud cringed as he popped his jaw back in place, and he grit his teeth angrily, searching through blurred eyes for Buu.
"Miss me?"
Cloud let out a cry of suprise as Buu wrapped his tentacle around his body from behind, sending jolts of pink energy into Cloud's body. Cloud struggled to get free, and managed to in a matter of seconds. Buu smirked, and quickly went for another eye beam to Cloud's eyes, but Cloud smacked it aside, scowling deeply.
"Enough cheap shots, I'm going to end this now"
Cloud quickly launched himself at Buu, but Buu had expected his attack to be deflected, and before Cloud knew what was happening, Buu faded out of sight.

"Oh...My....Word..."
Kaiobit cringed in pain as he saw what happened in the Elder Kai's crystal ball, as did the Elder Kai. Back on Earth, Vegeta and Goku both grit their teeth, angry that if they tried to help, they'd be killed easily by Buu.
Dende, knowing that human males had that certain...weak spot, he shook his head.
"What a low blow..."
Hercule looked at Dende, his eyes little dots, his face looked pained from that sight, and he managed to squek out-
"You...have no idea..."
Cloud let out a loud cry of pain, doubling over and gritting his teeth in pain, falling towards the ground, but Buu faded under him, and quickly wrapped his tentacle around Cloud's legs, flipping him upside down quickly and then launching him as hard as he could into the ground, creating a HUGE crater.
"Oh no...Vegeta....his life force is fading..."
"No...Kakkarot...this can't be happening...."
Buu smirked, firing a large pink beam right into the crater, and another cry of pain was heard, as smoke continued to pour out from the crater.
"We....we failed....I failed....it's over...Buu won..."
Kaiobit looked shocked, worried and saddened all at once.
"I failed you Elder...I'm a disgrace to the Kai Line..."
"Don't get down on yourself yet young one, do you feel that?"
"Feel what sir?"
"The warriors energy is returning, and at a rapid pace..."
The smoke slowly began to clear, and Cloud floated back out, scowling in pain up at Buu, who growled, suprised that Cloud got back up.
"You...are...pathetic....Buu, using....cheap shots....like that..."
"Enough talk..."
Buu growled, charging a large ball of pink energy in both of his hands.
"IT'S OVER! TIME FOR YOU AND THIS PLANET TO DIE!"
Buu launched one of his strongest attacks ever straight at Cloud, and Cloud, not expecting the sudden attack, and weakened by the battle itself, got hit head on, launched right into the ground, on the verge of death. He hadn't fallen out of SSJ4, but his life force was fading. Buu began to laugh and celebrate, knowing that victory was right in front of him, as all the others watched in horror.
'No...I....I failed.....this can't happen....'
Cloud grit his teeth, slowly beginning to stand, his body tired and weak, but he wouldn't let that stop him...
'No...I won't let them down....I can't...I WON'T LET THEM DIE! I WON'T LET THESE INNOCENT PEOPLE DIE!'
Cloud scowled, his energy began to sky rocket again, his anger was fueling him now, and his Mage powers were surging again within him, giving his Saiyan powers a HUGE boost, the aura around his body exploded again as he let out a cry of rage.
'I WON'T LET PAN DOWN! I WON'T LET MY CHILDREN DOWN! I WON'T LET THE EARTH AND IT'S FUTURE DOWN! I REFUSE TO DO SO!'
Cloud let out another yell, and Buu's eyes widened as he felt his foe's energy surging once again....
"Vegeta....Vegeta look!"
"Kakkarot, his energy is rising even higher then before! What in the name of Kami is happening?!"
Vegeta and Goku watched the sky, as Cloud shot up into the air, glaring at Buu, blue sparks flying everywhere around his body, and Buu floated back, realizing that Cloud's energy wasn't going to stop rising anytime soon...
"I forgot to mention something Buu....when I get a power boost in this level I'm in....or maybe my emotions get out of control and fuel my energy....my Mage powers get boosted, as does my Saiyan powers...and the combined boost allows me to go one last level...the level in which I will kill you in..."
Buu's eyes widened in shock, and he slowly floated backwards even more...
"WHAT?! ANOTHER LEVEL?!"
Goku and Vegeta both cried out in suprise. Hiding behind a rock, Dende, Hercule and Bee watched on in amazement, while in the Other World, Kaiobit and Elder Kai both looked closer to their crystal ball, not able to believe what was happening...
"YOU WILL PAY FOR EVERY PERSON YOU'VE KILLED BUU! I WILL SEE TO IT!"
Cloud clinched his fists tightly together, he brought up his knees and elbows, and lowered his head, letting out a loud yell. Instantly, the entire Earth started shaking even harder then when Cloud transformed to SSJ4, and the sky slowly began to darken, clouds that were once white turned dark gray, and the energy surging around Cloud's body lit everything within 5 miles around them up. Navy blue and crimson red energy bolts were shooting out from Cloud's body as his energy grew and grew.
Cloud let out another yell of rage and power, and slowly his hair began to get longer, rising up as it was before to it's position of being spiked straight up into the air. Cloud grit his teeth, before letting out another yell.
"How...how is he...how is he gathering so much power?!"
"I...don't know young Kai....I just...I don't know..."
Cloud's muscles bulged out even more, and his aura began growing larger, as Buu looked on in horror. Soon, all of them had to sheild their eyes from the bright blue and red light flashing around Cloud. Inside of Cloud's mind, a war was raging, as energy cracked around outside of him.

Cloud let out another loud yell, the yell itself shaking the Earth to it's core, as he continued powering up. His hair, now 3/4's the size of his body, somehow remained spiked up in the air, and the whites of Cloud's eyes flashed black.
Cloud's once teal pupils were completely crimson now, his eyebrows a darker shade of blue, seemingly outlined with black. Two bands had appeared on his wrists, almost like a conductor for his power so that it could continue flowing through him. Cloud looked like an entirely new person, and when he spoke, his voice sounded much colder, and calmer.
"First...I will free the Z Fighters that you killed, I need not to use Dragon Balls when my Mage techniques at this level can bring them back..."
And with that, before Buu could react, Cloud launched a crimson sphere of energy into Buu's gut, it didn't slice through, but it seemed like it was absorbed into Buu. Buu blinked a few times, before letting out a cry of pain and grabbing at his gut....
It wasn't there.
Buu let out a gasp of shock and looked at where his gut once was, only to see a giant blob of pink floating in front of him. Buu tried regenerating the hole, but he couldn't. Shocked, Buu looked at Cloud in horror, who simply flicked his wrist, and the pink blob that was once his gut suddenly split into two seperate peices, and light suddenly exploded from them.
"What...what is he doing?"
Dende looked on shocked, wondering what was going on, when suddenly, he gasped, feeling a couple of familiar impending kis.
"He's bringing the others back! But how?!"
Cloud smirked, and suddenly, several forms of light shot forth from Buu's seperated stomach, forming into the bodies of the startled Z Team.
Goku, Vegeta, Hercule, Dende and even Kaiobit and Elder Kai all gasped from their veiwing places. Slowly fading into veiw were their old friends and allies...
Yamcha, Krillin, 18, Marron, Videl, The Ox King, ChiChi, Bulma, Mr.Popo, everyone, they were all floating there, startled, but still there.
Cloud made a motion with his hand, nd they all gently floated to the ground, looking at each other in shock.
"What happened?!"
ChiChi looked at her hands, and then looked up, seeing Goku.
"GOKU!"
She practically flew to her feet and hugged onto Goku tightly, who laughed a bit and hugged her back. Vegeta grunted and turned his attention to Bulma, who smiled at Vegeta, running over and hugging him. Caught off gaurd, Vegeta didn't respond for several seconds, before, much to everyone's shock, he returned Bulma's hug.
"Glad to see you back Bulma..."
Bulma's eyes watered as she looked back at Vegeta.
"You actually called me by my name for once..."
"Hey, what can I say, Onna was starting to sound old..."
Bulma let out a slight chuckle, before another voice cut in.
"M-m-m-m..Majin Buu! He's still here!"
Everyone looked up, and saw Majin Buu, looking alot stronger then before, but also looking like he was scared sensless.
Then they saw why.
Floating 15 feet in front of him, Cloud remained there, looking rather unemotionally down to them, he grunted a bit, starting to turn his attention back towards Buu, before he stopped, his eyes latching onto Videl.
"Who is that guy..? And why is he staring at me?"
Cloud's lips curled into a smirk, and he nodded to Videl, before turning to Buu once again.
"Now Buu, before I kill you, it's time I free those you've trapped within you..."
"W-what?!"
Cloud let out a cold laugh, his smirk growing larger, and he shot his hand forward at Buu. Instantly, a bright blue beam arched up into the air above Buu, gworing into a large orb, Buu looked up, and before he could react in time to move, the ball encompased him completely.
"HAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!"
Cloud let out a loud yell, his muscles started to bulge a bit, and a few more forms began to form within the ball around Buu.
"What the heck is he doing?!"
Hercule had just stopped hugging Videl long enough to look up and stare at them, as Dende came over to talk with everyone, before he too looked back up once again. Even Bee was curious enough to look up once again, and when everyone realized what was going on, they all gasped.
Cloud chuckled as the orb faded, and floating around Buu, was Trunks, Goten, Piccolo, and Gohan.
"What the? What just happened?"
Gohan looked around at his surroundings, seeing Piccolo, Trunks and Goten.
"We got out?!"
Suddenly, he turned to see Buu, in his original state once again, still looking shocked, staring at someone.
Gohan turned his head and gasped, he was staring directly at some sort of a warrior who appeared to be a rather...morphed, Saiyan. And he seemed to be in a whole new transformation he'd never even dreamt of before.
"Hello, Gohan."
And with that, Cloud waved his hand, and they all floated down to the ground. Piccolo looked at Dende and smirked slightly.
"Good to see you again, Dende"
"Heh, hey Piccolo"
Goten looked over and saw his parents smiling at him.
"Mommy! Daddy!"
Goten started laughing and ran over to them, jumping up into his fathers arms and trying his best to hug both ChiChi and Goku.
Meanwhile, Trunks looked at Vegeta and his mother in shock.
"M-mmom? D-dad?! You're alive?!"
Vegeta smirked as bulma nodded, her eyes tearing again.
"Yes, son, we are."
Trunks smiled widely, his own eyes watering, and he ran over to them, hugging them both the best he could. Bulma smiled, ruffling Trunks' hair, and Trunks laughed a bit, before looking up at his father, ignoring the halo floating above his head.
"Dad...why did you do what you did back before you died?"
Vegeta frowned slightly, before sighing.
"I didn't want you to see me sacrifice myself son, I didn't think you needed to see me die. I'm very proud of how well you and Kakkarot's youngest bra-er, child, faired against Buu, you did your best, and that's all that matters."
Trunks grinned happily, glad to see his dad's slight change in attitude.
Meanwhile, Gohan was being welcomed back in a different way.
"Gohan! You're alive!"
Videl ran over to Gohan, hugging him tightly and crying into his gi. Gohan just stood there, still dumbstruck, before he brought his hand up behind his head, rubbing it and laughing a bit.
"Yeah...I uh...I guess I am!"
"Don't you ever leave me again Gohan..."
"Heheh, okay Videl."
Videl smiled up at Gohan, who grinned back down at her, before they turned their attention to the two fighters in the sky, as well as everyone else.
"Now Buu...now you pay for all that you've done..."
"Bbut...but how?"
"Really now, are you sure you want those to be your last words of existance before I wipe you out completely?"
"You...you can't defeat me! I'm Buu! The strongest fighter in the Universe!"
"Buu, times had changed in the future, you're nothing compaired to some of the people there now, I'm among the strongest, they sent me, and here I am. Now prepare to die Buu...prepare to die."

Next Time On Dragon Ball Z:
"HAAAA!"
Cloud let a large wave of energy crash into Buu, sending the pink creature hard into a mountain. For once, the mountain didn't break, and Buu was embedded into it.
"This is it Buu....say goodbye."
----------------------------------------
"This is for Videl..."
Videl blinked in suprise as Cloud launched a hard beam into Buu, suprised he knew her name.
"This is for Gohan..."
Gohan looked at Videl, who looked at him, both equallly confused as to how Cloud knew their names.
"This...this is for Pan..."
Cloud launched an even larger beam at Buu, completely destroying a chunk of his body.
"And this is for Earth..."
Cloud threw another beam, which took out another chunk of Buu, who was gasping in pain at this point, not being able to reginerate himself.
"KA ME TU ET BA HO TAU MET LAH KAAAAAAAIIIIIIIII!"
Cloud let out a yell, small beams forming at his fingertips, this was it, the final blow, and Buu would finally be defeated....
-End-

A/N: More on Pan, but no clues as to why yet! And how the heck does he know Gohan and Videl? Well, he IS from the future, but how does he know them there? Oh and by the way, I know it seems corny to have a guy who can go to Super Saiyan Five, which never existed in the series, but it goes along with the fic, and he isn't entirelly Saiyan, he's part Mage, which gives him a slight power boost. So that's why he can go that far. I tried my best to make it not seem corny, hope it worked, stay tuned for the next chapter! ^_^
