Disclaimer: Once there was this show all the little boys watched and all
that it was about was these guys fighting and wanting to show each other
their 'ultimate power'. Boring! Do you think that I would have thought of
that? No way.
Defensive Action:
Black clouds of smoke smudged the horizon as Goku joined Dende on the edge of the Lookout.
"Majin Buu has started to destroy cities," the young guardian informed him sadly.
"I know. It's time I confronted him but first I need to show the boys a way to increase their power. Did Mr. Popo prepare the Room of Time and Spirit as planned?"
"Of course."
They walked back over to the group. Goku went straight over to the boys and their mothers. "Okay boys, I'm going to teach you a special technique and then you're going into the Room of Time and Spirit to practice it until you get it right!"
"Cool!" "Alright!" the boys grinned and gave each other a high five.
"They're not going to be in there by themselves for who knows how long and become ignorant savages," protested ChiChi.
"They won't be going in there by themselves," Goku smiled.
"They won't?"
"No, you're going in there with them, Chi."
"What!?" exclaimed the adults.
"Awww!!" complained the kids.
"Why?" his wife asked.
"Cause you're the best dancer I know," answered her husband.
"Dance?" they all wondered.
"Listen up, guys," Goku got their attention again, "I only have time to do this once. I learned this in the Otherworld: if two warriors of the same strength and size do this 'Fusion Dance', they will become one warrior with the combined strength and abilities of both."
"You mean if we're both Super Saiyan," Trunks interrupted, "together we'll be..."
"A Super-Duper Saiyan!" Goten yelled, jumping up and down.
"Uh, yeah, sort of," Goku grinned, scratching his head, "but only for half an hour. You have to do it right or it'll be messed up. That's why you have to practice and then train in the final form so you know how to fight in it."
"OK!" they agreed enthusiastically.
"Ready? First you have to match your strength. Power up as high as you can go." The boys nodded and stood two meters apart, hands clenched and faces scrunched as they gathered their energy. A wind whipped swirls of dust around them. With a simultaneous yell, they each burst into a flare of golden, pulsing light. The adults looked on with wonder, Goku with pride and gratitude; with all the fantastic things that had happened, this was the most amazing. Now he had an inkling of what Master Roshi felt when he did his first kame-hame wave; what had taken years of training and fighting and getting beat to crap for him and Gohan and Vegita to achieve, these children had done as easy as turning a key in a lock. His face turned more serious, "Chi, can you sense the difference?"
"Can I cook?" she answered flippantly. She stood and held a hand out toward each boy. For her, energy was a tactile experience, years of cooking (and dealing with Saiyans) had taught her to feel the exact energy output of a fire or oven or a person at close range. "Trunks, you're a little hotter- er.. higher in energy than Goten, lower it please."
"Sure, Ms. ChiChi," the taller boy smirked proudly as he complied.
"That's only 'cause you're older than me," the smaller one grumbled.
"Better.. keep going.. " Chi Chi instructed, concentrating, "oops, that's too low, bring it up a bit.. there!"
"Good!" Goku complemented, relieved that she could do it. "Watch carefully now, you have to do these moves correctly and mirror each other exactly for it to work." He got into the beginning position and started the moves but stopped when he heard his youngest giggle. "Goten, stop that!" he snapped.
The child whimpered and moved to cower confusedly next to his older friend. He wondered if the tall Saiyan would throw a ki blast at him like Vegita would but Gohan had always told him that their father never lost his temper. He looked at his mother for re-assurance.
"Listen to your father," she told him.
Goku scowled, not at his son, but why he was acting scared- who made him that way? "Goten, I'm waiting," he was a patient man but every second that passed meant that Buu was getting stronger and causing more destruction and deaths. He gently drew Goten away from Trunks side and knelt to look him straight in the eyes, "This is very important, son, you have to pay attention, understand?"
"Ya- Yes, sir," Goten straightened his back and stuck up his chin.
Goku gave Trunks a sharp look, the boy also came to attention, "Yes, sir!" he barked.
The Saiyan stood and answered them with a nod of approval, "Good. I'll begin again." This time the boys and ChiChi carefully observed his every movement.
When he was done. Mr. Popo was there to guide the little group to their destination. Goku held ChiChi back a moment, "Promise me that you'll make them train."
"I will," she assented. They lingered a few seconds more, gazing at each other before she dropped her eyes and turned to follow the boys.
"Bulma, did you bring the space ship capsule?" he asked the blue haired woman who watched her son leave to take up his heritage.
"Yes, Goku," she pulled her attention back the man beside her, "Do you think we'll need it?"
"I hope not, but if worse comes to worst, I want you to take anyone left to New Namek, especially Dende."
"You can rely on me. Goku, good luck."
Goku felt a hand on his shoulder, "Hey man, I'm here for you," Yamcha said as they walked to the rim.
Kurrilan rushed out of the building, "Hey guys, wait for me!" he yelled, having woken up feeling the call of battle after only a few minutes of sleep. He'd said a quick farewell to follow it. Together the three old friends took off.
"Majin Buu is pretty tough, you guys don't need to come along," Goku tried to dissuade them.
"We know. We'll stay out of the way and only run interference if you need a breather," the scarred man answered lightly.
"Yeah, Bro, it'll be like old times," grinned Kurrilan, "Let's kick some alien ass!"
"You guys are the greatest. Let's go!" whooped Goku, battle fervor catching him. The three buzzed Korin's tower, startling the aged cat and the Samurai before flying off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ha-ha, Buu, do you feel that? I think one of our little friends is playing hide-and-seek. Shall we go join him?"
"Mmm-mhmm!" his pink, blobby companion answered.
Babbidi clung to the back of the huge monster's cape with his skinny yellow- green arms as they flew through the mountains. Soon they landed near a sizable village close to a mountain that was crowned with the crumbled remains of a castle. A giant of a man blocked the road, dressed in armor, a horned helmet on his head and a battle ax in his hands.
"What have we here, Buu?" the little wizard sneered, "Someone who thinks he can be a match for you? At least this time no one will tell you to pick on someone your own size!"
Indeed, the two were a match for size and if someone were to judge by looks alone, he would favor the armored one to win. "I am the Ox King and this is my land. Go away!" he growled, raising his ax.
"Oh my, I might feel a little intimidated if you weren't old and weak." Babbidi jumped down from his pet's back.
"Buu don't like you!" the big pink monster frowned and steam came out of his many orifices.
The Ox King readied to charge, the armor he hadn't worn in more than twenty years creaking as he moved.
Buu raised his hand and with a short ki-blast, sent the giant tumbling. Seeing the fallen figure trying to get up, he grinned evilly. "Buu hungry," he stated in his childish voice, "Me think me want... hamburger!" He pointed his floppy antennae at the Ox King and shot out a ray. "And French fries," he turned the ray onto the villagers who had been spying on in horror. Soon the only thing left of the inhabitants was a loud burp. "Me still hungry," complained Buu.
"Let's go find a city. I'm sure you'll be able to get desert there, my pet."
"Mmm-hmmm"
AN: Real life has reclaimed me. Thanks to Angel Wing and Tao (did I get that right?) for kicking my butt to post this chapter. Luv ya. This is way different than the series which I've been watching on Toonami. I've missed about half of them. The Kais' planet is not as I imagined it and I'm using Piccolo instead of Kibitto (I can't stand him plus I have an ulterior motive) I'm also trying to use the characters for something besides standing around for comic relief, but it's going to be hard to merge this the way I intended. So you want to know what happened to Videl, hmmm? Next time, or perhaps we should check up on Vegita? Let me know.
