The last night before Goku, Gohan, Goten and Trunks would be off to fight Buu had arrived. Chichi and Bulma planned to spend the last night with their boys for they feared they would never see them for a long time after that. Videl planned to spend that night with Gohan in whatever way she could. After supper that night Gohan and Videl walked outside, neither knowing where the night would take them. Finding her love just days ago and having to let him go again so soon was not something she was going to let happen so easily. "Gohan do you have to go fight that monster? Why can't Goten and trunks go? You said yourself that that once they're fused that they would probably be powerful enough to defeat Buu." Videl said.
"I wish I didn't have to go and fight either Videl. I wish none of us had to go, but Piccolo said that a greater power maybe needed and Piccolo just doesn't say something without having a reason for it. We'll just have to wait and see what happens." Gohan said.
"Well if you had to end up fighting, do you think that Buu would be done for?" Videl asked.
"I don't know. All we can do is fight and hope for the best." Gohan replied.
"Just promise me one thing Gohan, promise me you'll fight you best for everyone, for the planet, for me, for us." Videl said.
Gohan pulled Videl closer to him and looked down at her. "I promise." Gohan said as he lowered his lips to hers.
Videl wrapped her arms around Gohan's neck and kissed him back. When the need for air became desperately wanted, Gohan and Videl drew back. "Gohan I'll be waiting for you when you get back, until then though I want you to know that I love you, goodnight."
"Goodnight." Gohan replied.
Later that night just as Gohan was letting the mouth of sleep consume him he heard a creaking sound coming from his bedroom door. Gohan sat up straight up and looked towards the door to see a shadowy figure standing in the light coming in from outside. "Who's there?" Gohan asked as he formed a small ki ball in his hand, just incase his company was not so friendly. "It's me." The figure said.
Gohan sighed in relief and disarmed the ki ball. "Videl what do you need?"
Videl closed the door behind her, making the room pitch black once more. She made her way to the side of Gohan's bed and crawled in next to him. "If this is to be you last night here, I want to spend it with you." Videl said.
Gohan felt very uncomfortable having the love of his life laying right there next to him in bed. "Uh, ok."
Videl noticed the uneasiness in her boyfriend's voice. "Gohan what's wrong? If your not comfortable with me being here then I'll leave."
Gohan shook his head. "No, don't leave. It's just that we haven't even gone out on a date yet and-"
He was interrupted by Videl's giggling. "No silly, I just wanted to sleep here tonight with you." Videl said.
Gohan scratched his head and blushed. "Well what else was I supposed to think?"
Videl giggled again. After the two talked a while longer Videl began to yawn. "Goodnight Gohan. I love you." Videl aid as she snuggled up next to Gohan.
Gohan smiled as he placed his arms around Videl. "I love you too."
The next morning Videl awoke with a chill. She felt around for Gohan. When Videl felt no Gohan next to her, her eyes shot open and she frantically started looking around. Videl started to panic, for she feared that Gohan had already left. Videl quickly got up put on her robe and ran for the dining hall to see if Gohan was there. When she arrived in the hall she found Bulma and Chichi in front of the stoves, cooking as usual. Videl walked over to Chichi and began having a fit. "Chichi, where's Gohan? Don't tell me, he already left, didn't he? He wouldn't have though without saying goodbye, would he?"
Chichi put her hands on Videl's shoulders to calm her. "Videl listen, calm down, don't worry, Gohan hasn't left yet. Goku, Goten, Trunks and he are just getting some last minute training in." Chichi said.
Videl looked at Chichi questioningly. "Are you sure?"
Chichi smiled. "Of course, believe me no saiyan would ever go into battle on an empty stomach."
Videl laughed, finding not only Chichi's words to be comical, but also comforting. "Where are they training at?" Videl asked.
Chichi led Videl to a long narrow hallway, she then pointed down the hallway. "You take this hallway all the way down to the end and it will be the last door to you left." Chichi said.
Before Videl could thank Chichi she had disappeared back into the kitchen. Videl sighed and proceeded in walking down the hallway, finding it creepy for there was almost no light eliminating in it. Videl finally came to the end of the hall after walking for what seemed like infinity. She walked up to the closed door and put her ear up to it. She could faintly here four voices coming from the other side. Guessing they were the saiyans', Videl opened the door, only to find a blanket of whit stretch out before her in all directions and there before her was Goku, Gohan, Goten and Trunks. All four were clad in tattered clothing obvious evidence of the training that had been taking place. The four saiyans stopped what they were doing and looked at Videl. "Hey Videl." Gohan said.
"Gohan, what is this place?" Videl asked.
"This is the Hyperbolic Time Chamber." Gohan answered.
"Oh, so this is that place you trained before going off to fight Cell." Videl said.
"Yeah it was." Gohan replied.
"So what are you guys doing?" Videl asked even though she knew that it was a stupid question.
"Well we were just trying to get some last minute training in. You can stay and watch if you want." Gohan said.
"Ok." Videl said as she went to sit down and watch.
Gohan turned and went back to resume his sparring sessions with his father. Videl watched as Gohan and Goku exchanged devastating blows that would have seriously injured or killed a hum being. After breakfast the saiyans resumed their training while Videl continued to look on in pure awe and wonder. Hours outside the chamber passed while much longer lengths of time passed with the chamber's walls. As the stroke of noon neared so did Babidi and Buu. Buu flew towards the lookout with Babidi residing on his back. When they reached the lookout Babidi immediately got off of Buu's back and started searching for Piccolo, Goten and Trunks. Piccolo felt Buu and Babidi's presence and went into action. "Chichi, go get Goku and the others. Buu's here."
Chichi nodded and hurried towards the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Meanwhile Piccolo went to where Babidi and Buu were waiting. When Babidi spotted Piccolo he smiled evilly. "So you're still here. I thought you would have chickened out." Babidi said.
"I don't' run from anything or anyone. Especially a evil little termite and a fat pudgy tub of lard." Piccolo said.
"Well I guarantee you will with in the moment. Buu he's all yours." Babidi said as he stepped back.
Buu stepped forward, anxious to finally be able to destroy something. Piccolo looked straight at Buu and got into his fighting stance. He was prepared to fight, even if he knew he was outmatched. Buu laughed, Piccolo growled and launched himself at Buu. Buu easily stepped out of the way and laughed again. Piccolo again came at Buu, but this time instead of Buu stepping out of the way, he took his yellow-gloved hand, grabbed a hold of Piccolo's head, and started to squeeze it. Piccolo grunted in pain as he felt his skull being slowly squeezed to nothing. However before Piccolo thought his head was finished he felt the pressure abruptly lifted. Buu let go of Piccolo's head and decided that he wanted to play a game with Piccolo. Piccolo felt himself being pushed back. Buu formed a ki ball and threw it at Piccolo who in turn started flying around in the flying around in the sky, trying to dodge the homing ball of energy, for he knew if he tried to block it he would not live through the impact. Piccolo flew around for several long moments, going as fast as he could all the time for the ball was right on his tail. Piccolo began to tire from the endless flying and decided he had to end this. Landing back on the lookout Piccolo turned and faced the fast approaching energy. Piccolo covered his head with his arms and closed his eyes, preparing for the impact. Just as he thought the ki ball should have been blowing him to little green bits, Piccolo felt a familiar presence appear in front of him. Piccolo opened his eyes just in time to see a golden haired Gohan knock away the energy ball. Gohan looked at Piccolo. "Thanks." Piccolo said.
"No problem, just repaying the favor." Gohan said.
Gohan returned to normal and rejoined the other remaining saiyans. Buu looked at the saiyans and smiled. Playtime was going to become much more fun. Goku crouched down to Goten and Trunks level. "So are you guys read?" Goku asked.
Both saiyans nodded. "I wish my dad was here." Trunks said sadly.
"Don't worry Trunks. Vegeta will always be with you, no matter what." Goku said.
Trunks nodded, the inherited smirk of Vegeta crossed his lips once more. "Let's do this."
Goku smiled. "Ok, now remember as soon as you two are fused that you'll want to power up to your max. Buu may look like a push over, but trust me, he's not." Goku said.
Trunks and Goten nodded. They stepped forward and faced Buu, who returned their gaze with equal intensity. Both boys took their stances to start the fusion dance. "Fu-sion-HA!"
The all to familiar blue aura was so bright that even Buu covered his eyes. When Buu lifted his hands form his eyes he saw before him a super saiyan 2 Gotenks. Buu scratched his head in confusion. "Where two boys go?" Buu asked.
"We're right here." Gotenks said as he pointed to himself.
Buu was still confused. Gotenks didn't feel that he needed to waste the time in explaining the circumstances to Buu. However he was anxious to bury his fists into Buu's gut. Buu's confusion was soon forgotten when he saw Gotenks get into a fighting stance. Buu smiled evilly as he too got into his own stance. Gotenks returned a smirk of his own. "Let's get it on." Gotenks said.
Buu nodded in agreement. Gotenks launched at Majin Buu. Buu through his right fist at Gotenks, who ducked and came with a right of his own, which connected with Buu's lower jaw. Buu stumbled backwards, stunned from the unexpected blow. Gotenks pursued Buu and started wailing him with punches to the gut. After several minutes of endless punching, Gotenks stopped to catch his breath. Looking at the results of his attack Gotenks was satisfied. Buu's large stomach was filled with deep dents. Buu looked down at his own stomach. Analyzing the damage done, Buu started pushing his belly outward. His dented stomach popped back out to be it's smooth round self once more. Gotenks gaped in disbelief at what Buu had just done. Well if mere fists and feet wouldn't work then maybe energy attacks would. Gotenks formed a basketball sized ki ball in his hand and threw it at Buu's stomach. The attack went through on one side and out the other with ease, creating a hole in Buu's center. "YES!" Gotenks cheered a he jumped in the air.
Meanwhile Buu looked down at his stomach once more. He smiled as the hole began to cave in and new pink skin replaced it. Gotenks looked at Buu, almost falling over from the site before him. Buu looked like he hadn't even been touched. Gotenks looked over at Goku and Gohan. "Excuse me, but how do you destroy a monster that can regenerate himself?" Gotenks asked.
Goku and Gohan too were in awe of Buu's actions. When Gotenks did not receive any answer from the two older saiyans he turned back towards Buu and gritted his teeth in anger and frustration. Gotenks launched everything he had at Buu. When it was all done Gotenks was so tired and weakened that he couldn't even hold super saiyan form anymore. As the smoke and dust cleared everyone looked to see Buu was gone, well almost gone. The only part of him that remained was his head. Buu looked around for the rest of his body, but could not find it. He became angry with Gotenks for destroying his body. Clouds of steam irrupted from Buu's skull. "Buu mad, me get you for making Buu go boom!"
Buu became so angry that his body seemed to pop back out from his head. Buu launched himself at a weakened Gotenks in a blinded mask of fury. Gotenks tried his best to try and defend himself, but it was no use. Gotenks found himself on the ground, beaten to a bloody pulp and being unable to move. Gohan started running out towards Gotenks to try and help him, but was held back by Goku. "No Gohan, if you go out there then there may be no hope fore Earth, Gotenks will have to be on his own."
"But dad, we have to fuse now, Gotenks is finished and unless we do something he'll be killed." Gohan said.
Goku looked at Gohan. "Alright let's do it."
Gohan nodded and the two preformed their fusion. "Buu make you into chocolate bar, yummy yum." Buu said as he rubbed his belly.
Gotenks only looked at Buu and prepared to be turned into a saiyan delight. A voice from behind Buu made him think otherwise. "Hey Buu, why don't you pick on somebody your own size." Gokan said.
Buu turned around and smiled. Someone new to play with oh boy Buu thought. Gokan looked at Gotenks. "You alright kid?"
Don't call me kid!" Gotenks said angrily as he slowly got up.
Yep he's all right Gokan thought to himself. Gokan then proceeded to walk up to Buu. "You ready?" Gokan asked.Buu nodded. Both fighter's got into fighting stances and prepared for the ultimate showdown.
