Chapter 5

            Piccolo turned to where Gohan was standing.  "Why did you do that?  Now what are we going to do?  Sit around seven days and wait for Babidi to show hi ugly ass face here again?"  Piccolo asked, somewhat angry that Gohan had succeeded in him not being able to complete his destiny. 

"Piccolo chill.  In a week Goten and Trunks will have completed their fusion and then we can destroy Buu."  Gohan said confidently.

            "Are you blind boy?  Buu is not so easily defeated as you make it sound.  When Vegeta sacrificed himself not even he defeated Buu.  Buu survived from pieces of himself.  The only way to defeat him would be to destroy every cell of Buu's body at the same time.  Vegeta's power was enormous, yet still Buu lives.  What makes you think two young half saiyans can do what Vegeta could not?"  Piccolo asked.

            "Trunks and Goten alone are twice as powerful as I was at their age.  With their powers combined they could and probably will be more powerful then me.  They could probably ascend beyond a super saiyan 2."  Gohan said as he pointed at his brother and his friend.

            Piccolo's eyes widened in surprise at Gohan's claims.  "That would truly be a miraculous transformation at such an age.  Being able to go super saiyan 3 has only been achieved by your father.  However if those two could do that in their fusion, then they would possibly be able to have a decent chance at Buu, but I sense that their power alone will not be enough.  I feel in order to truly beat Majin Buu there will have to be a power even greater."  Piccolo said.

            "Is that true?  How do you know?"  Gohan asked, wondering whom this greater power could possibly be.

            "This is not for sure.  It's just a feeling.  I would not put complete doubt in these feelings I have, for in the past they have sometimes been right."  Piccolo said.

            "Thin I should go find dad and tell him of our new situation.  We should all stay here.  Just in case Buu and Babidi go back on their word."  Gohan said.

            "Right.  While you're go for Goku and Chichi I'll have Goten and Trunks practice the fusion some more."  Piccolo said.

            "Good idea, well I'm off.  I'll be back soon."  Gohan said as he took off into the midday air.

            Piccolo turned to the two younger saiyans.  "Alright let's get to it."  Piccolo said.

            Goten and Trunks groaned and once more took their stances.  Gohan flew in a westerly direction away from the lookout, following the direction of his father's fluctuating ki.  After about half and hour of flying Gohan spotted two figures that appeared to be asleep.  Gohan flew in closer to see who the two figures were.  When he realized it was his parents Gohan turned around in embarrassment.  Gohan immediately flew a little ways away from a slumbering Goku and Chichi for he did not want to give his parents the impression that he was a pervert.  When he felt he was far enough away Gohan stopped and raised his energy level just enough to gather his father's attention.  Goku opened his eyes slowly.  What was that?  It feels like Gohan is near.  GOHAN! Goku thought to himself.  In a massive panic Goku quickly covered his wife with her clothes for fear that someone had seen Chichi and him.  Goku dressed and started towards where Gohan was waiting in the air.  "Hey Gohan, what are you doing all the way out here?"  Goku asked.

            "Well actually I sort of need to talk to you about something."  Gohan said.

            "What is it?  Oh I know."  Goku said.

            "You do?"  Gohan asked.

            "Yeah, it's about you and your girlfriend.  What was her name again?"  Goku asked as he rubbed his chin in deep thought.

            "No dad that not what this is about.  Her name is Videl and NO she is not my girlfriend!"  Gohan nearly felt like yelling at Goku in once again trying to emphasize his point that Videl and he were just friends.

            "Well one of these days she will be.  They eventually get you.  They always do."  Goku said.

            Gohan sighed, trying desperately to try and change the subject.  "That's nice dad, anyway I need you and mom to come back to the lookout as soon as possible.  I wan to address everyone on this."  Gohan said.

            "Ok, just let me get your mom and we'll be along.  Go ahead, we'll catch up in a little while."  Goku said.

            "Ok, see you back at the lookout."  Gohan said as he waved goodbye before heading back towards the lookout.

            Around an hour later Goku and Chichi reunited with everyone else at the lookout where they were all anxious to see what Gohan, Piccolo, Goten and Trunks had to say.  After making sure everyone was present Gohan spoke.  "Everyone, there has been some very recent events that have changed our plans in dealing with Buu.  Not more than two hours ago, Babidi and Majin Buu contacted Piccolo, Goten, Trunks and myself.  They demanded that certain peoples be surrendered too Buu in exchange for the Earth's existence.  However a slight adjustment in negotiations occurred.  In the end the final deal is this.  We have exactly seven days from now to complete the training necessary to take on Buu.  If we are not ready by then however, Babidi will allow Majin Buu to terrorize the Earth in whatever way he likes.  We will need all of your help to make sure Goten and Trunks can be ready in a week's time."

            Everyone felt some shock at the news that had just been given to him or her.  All present nodded their cooperation in helping the two youngest saiyans in whatever way they could.  Everyone was about to leave, expecting that the news was all presented to them, but when they heard Piccolo's voice beckoning them all back they did.  "In addition to Goten and Trunks training I suggest that Gohan and Goku do the same.  If Goten and Trunks don't succeed then at least we have a back up plan."  Piccolo said.

            Gohan and Goku had surprised looks on their faces.  Neither of them had been expecting to fuse with the other.  Gohan then remembered Piccolo mentioning that a power even greater than that of the fused Goten and Trunks may be needed.  He hadn't thought that power would have come from his father and himself though.  Goku walked over to his son to find out why he and himself were going to be fusing.  "Gohan what is Piccolo talking about?"  Goku asked.

            "Piccolo told me earlier that he had a feeling that a greater power than that of Goten and Trunks would be needed to defeat Buu.  I guess that power is you and me."  Gohan answered.

            "Oh, ok so when do you want to start training?"  Goku asked.

            "Whenever you want to."  Gohan said.

            "Ok, how about right after we get something to eat."  Goku said.

            Gohan laughed.  "Alright dad."

            After the saiyans had a well over filling meal provided by Chichi and Bulma, Goku, Gohan, Goten and Trunks all went to start their training.  Piccolo would stay with the boys to guide them in their training while Gohan and Goku went to a separate part of the lookout to start their own fusion dance.  Thus marked the beginning of the fate for the entire world, perhaps even the entire universe.
