Chapter 3

            A/N:  Hey all you happy peeps.  Sorry its been awhile since my last update.  Between homework, drum lessons, and major writer's block its been hard coming up with this chapter.  I'm sorry about the first two chapters being so much like the series, but I wanted to have an introduction because some people haven't seen the Buu Saga yet even some of my friends haven't so I was just giving a little intro.  Anywho this chap finally up. Pleaz R&R.  Thanks!

Kabito continued searching for Shin.  "Hold on master I'm coming."  Kabito said as he flew faster towards the faint ki signature coming from the Supreme Kai.

            Several moments passed before Kabito spotted the familiar figure that only belonged to Shin.  Kabito descended and approached his master.  "Master, I'm here." Kabito said as he placed his hand upon Shin and healed him.

            The newly rejuvenated Supreme Kai looked up at Kabito.  "Thank you Kabito, but we must hurry and find Gohan.  He may be our only hope."  Shin said as he took to the air followed closely by Kabito.

            Both started towards a wooded area where they both barely sensed Gohan.  They arrived several minutes later over the forested area that contained Gohan in it leafy imprisonment.  "Master, look."  Kabito said as he pointed down at the dense forest.

            "Quickly Kabito, we must hurry."  Shin said as he quickly descended down towards the almost lifeless half saiyan.

            Kabito landed on one said of Gohan and Shin on the other.  Kabito put his on Gohan's chest to begin the process of healing.  "No Kabito.  Not yet.  We will bring him back with us to our world."  Shin said.

            Kabito looked upon his master in disbelief.  "Surely not a mortal is to set foot upon our world."  Kabito said.

Shin shook his head. "No, he shall wake up in our world, come we leave now."  Shin said.

Kabito frowned more than usual as he put his hand upon Gohan's chest as shin had just done.  The three disappeared and reappeared dimensions away from that of the Earth's.  "Kabito, you may now heal him."  Shin said.

Kabito nodded and once again placed his hand on Gohan in order to perform his talent in the art of healing.  The massive wounds and dried blood that dotted Gohan's limp form disappeared from his body as he became well once more.  Gohan slowly opened his eyes.  He then sat straight up and looked around at his new surroundings.  "Where am I?  Where's everyone?"  Gohan asked in panic as horrid flashbacks of Buu started flooding his mind.

"You are in a sanctuary."  Shin stated simply.

"Why am I here?"  Gohan asked.

"To begin you're training to defeat Buu."  Shin said.

"How?"  Gohan continued asking.

"By pulling a sacred sword from upon that rock."  Shin said as he pointed behind Gohan.

Gohan looked in the general direction the Supreme Kai had just pointed out to him.  In the distance rising out of the ground was a massive rock formation.  Atop the mountainous looking rock Gohan could barely make out a small shimmering object in the sunlight.  Gohan looked back at Shin.  "And I'm suppose to train with that thing?"

"Yes."  Shin answered.

Gohan looked in disbelief at the Supreme Kai.  "Are you kidding?  I don't have time to pull some stupid ass sword out of a crummy old rock and train with it.  All while Buu is free to terrorize the Earth with no one there to defend it.  I'm sorry, but I won't let the ones I love and the entire Earth befall to that monster.  Find someone else.  Please take me back to Earth."  Gohan said.

"But-"

"NOW!"

            Shin sighed in defeat.  "Very well, but you could become much stronger with the Z sword."

            "I don't care.  Becoming stronger takes time.  The Earth does not have time."  Gohan said.

            Shin placed his hand upon Gohan's shoulder and the two disappeared.  The two reappeared at the lookout.  Everyone present turned to see who had just appeared.  All faces fell in shock.  There before them stood the saiyan they thought had been dead.  One of them shocked was Videl.  Gohan looked at her and smiled, glad to see she looked unharmed.  Gohan walked over to Videl.  Videl almost ran at Gohan.  She jumped onto him and hugged him furiously.  Gohan was surprised a little by Videl's actions, but hugged her back anyway.  Videl drew back a little from Gohan to look up at him.  After awhile of Videl's constant gaze upon him Gohan became uncomfortable for some reason.  "Videl, are you all right?"  Gohan asked as he tried to break the silence between the two.

            Videl came back to reality and nodded.  "Yes Gohan, I'm just so glad to see you, everyone thought you were dead, but I knew in my heart that you weren't."  Videl said as she continued to look lovingly up at Gohan.

            Gohan smiled.  "I'm glad you're all right.  I thought Buu had gotten to you all.  I'm glad to see he hasn't."  Gohan said.

            Both stayed in their embrace.  Gohan felt an odd sensation come over him that he had never felt before, a sensation that he had to protect and love Videl as more than a friend.  "Gohan." 

            Gohan was brought out of his thoughts as he heard Videl's voice beckoning him.  "Yes Videl."  Gohan replied.

            "Gohan I have something I need to tell you."  Videl said.

            "What is it?"  Gohan asked.

            "I- I lo-"

            Videl was cut off by the sound of Goku's voice.  "Gohan I'm glad to see you're all right.  I hate to cut your reunion short, but I must speak with you."

            Gohan nodded, but no wanting to leave Videl.  "Hold that thought.  I'll be back."  Gohan said.

            "All right dad."  Gohan said as he reluctantly let go of Videl and followed his father to be spoken with alone.

            Goku led Gohan to a part of the lookout where he was sure not even saiyan ears could here what Goku had to tell his son.  Goku cleared his throat before speaking.  "Gohan, I'm glad to see you alive and well.  To only imagine what a fight with Majin Buu would be is beyond me.  I'm afraid though that I will need your help in defeating Buu once and for all.  You see why I was in otherworld I learned a new technique.  It's a fusion dance that takes place between two beings of similar size and strength.  I will need you help in teaching this technique to Goten and Trunks.  I only have 30 minutes left and that by far will not be enough time to teach them.  So will you continue to teach the boys after my time here is up?"  Goku asked.

            Gohan nodded an affirmative.  "Of course."

            "Good, thanks Gohan.  We should begin at once."  Goku said as he went to where Goten and Trunks were filling their seemingly endless bellies.

             Goku and Gohan walked down a long hallway with many doors on either side of them.  Goku finally stopped in front of one door.  Goku turned the knob on the door and pushed it open.  The door made a slight creaking sound as it opened to reveal two young saiyans stuffing their faces with foods from all places.  Upon seeing the two boys Gohan couldn't help but smile at there eating portions.  They were but half of his age yet they ate almost as much as Gohan himself did.  "Boys, it's time."  Goku said as he looked down upon Earth's possible last hope.

            "Time for what?"  Goten and Trunks asked in unison.

            "It's time for you two to save this entire planet."  Goku said.

            Goten and Trunks looked at each other then at Goku.  Them saving the Earth?  They had never undertaken such a task before and neither was in much of a hurry to take it up either.  Not when there were much stronger fighters like Goku and Gohan around to do it for the two youngsters.  "Now boys, get up and lets get to it.  I have very little time to teach you guys this."  Goku said.

            "Teach us what?"  Trunks asked.

            " A technique that I learned in otherworld.  A technique that will fuse you and Goten into one being for 30 minutes."  Goku said.

            Goten and Trunks once more looked at each other.  Each tried to imagine what they would look like being joined together.  Eww, me fused with Goten Trunks thought to him.  Wow me and Trunks fused that would like be so cool Goten thought.

            "We must get started right away, my time is to end in 30 minutes.  After that Gohan will continue to teach you."  Goku said.

            Trunks and Goten finished stuffing their faces as directed by Goku.  After that the four saiyans led by Goku went to a larger room so the boys could begin the steps to the fusion dance.  "Now you boys must pay attention for this is how you two shall fuse.  You must perform every movement at precisely the same time, not only that you must breath in unison and your power levels must be exactly the same."  Goku said.

            Goten and Trunks nodded in response to Goku's words.  "Now I will show you the fusion dance, now remember every movement must be perfect for you to become fused.  Gohan will you care to assist me in this demonstration?"  Goku asked.

            "Sure."  Gohan answered as he went and stood next to Goku.

            "Good now stand there and do exactly what I do, except in the opposite direction, like a mirror image."  Goku said.

            "Ok."  Gohan said.

            Goku walked and stood a few feet away from Gohan.  "Ready."  Goku said.

            "Ready."  Gohan echoed.

            Goku started sidestepping towards Gohan who immediately copied his father's movements.  Goku then raised his arms above his head and brought them back down till they were even with is chest, having created a circular motion.  "Fuuu," Goku and Gohan both crossed a leg over their other leg "sion!"  Goku and Gohan both yelled at the exact same time as their index fingers barely touched the others thus completing the dance.

            Goten and Trunks both sweat dropped.  Not only did it look hard to both boys, but also lame.  "Ok your turn guys."  Goku said pointing to his youngest son and the son of the prince of all saiyans.

            Both youngsters nodded and took stances similar to that of what Goku and Gohan had.  Just then Baba came in "Goku, it is time to leave."

            Goku turned to face Baba.  "Ok, just hold on a second."  Goku said.

            Goku turned to his eldest son.  "Gohan it is time for me to leave, it is up to you now to finish teaching the boys the fusion.  Can you do that for me?"  Goku asked.

            Gohan nodded.  "You can count on me dad."

            Goku smiled.  "I know I can."

            Goku had Goten come to him.  "I'll miss you two.  Be good for you mom."  Goku said as he hugged his two sons close to him.

            Both boys nodded.  It was now up to them to save the Earth in the place of their father and that was a position both Gohan and Goten were honored to take in a great warriors place.
