Saiyan Legend
Chapter 3: Rivals United
By Arrisnyte
Note: This story is a retelling of events form the Dragonball Z storyline. It is an alternate turn of events featuring characters made up by myself and a group of friends when we play the Dragonball Z Role-Playing Game from Talsorian games [www.talsorian.net]. Please do not use these characters without permission, and don't slam me too hard if you liked the original storyline. J Enjoy, and let me know what you think! Also, I apologize for the brevity of this chapter, but I felt it was necessary to put the session break at that particular moment.
The swift roundhouse kick knocked Peprin back on his heels, as a flurry of jabs sent Gohan into a defensive posture. Buu's speed was incredible.
* * * * * * * * * * *
"Goku," Elder Kai said somberly, "it's time for you to go. Vegeta is already en route to Earth and Peprin's friends should show up shortly."
Goku nodded. With a touch of his fingers to his forehead, he was gone. Goku was worried, though. How could this monstrosity be stopped?
* * * * * * * * * * *
Buu put forth a mighty roar as he let loose an enormous blast of pink, crackling energy towards Peprin. He streaked through the sky trying to dodge it, but its intense heat got closer and closer as it homed in on its target. Peprin was backed into a mountain wall, and the blast was upon him.
But there was no impact. The ball of pink death spiraled off into the sky and detonated in a massive explosion.
"Who shot Buu's blast?!" Buu yelled in a fit of rage.
Peprin looked down, and after a brief flash of shock went over his face, only pride and joy were shown in his eyes. His friends had arrived.
Defiantly they stood, warriors he had traveled with in the past.
Boxer Briefs, the unknown son of Vegeta and Bulma, who accidentally stranded himself in Peprin's time by experimenting with the time machine.
Kotetsu, one of the first members of a saiyan program to breed highly skilled half-saiyans from the various humanoid races of the universe. He was one of Peprin's closest allies, and an even closer rival.
And finally Daki. One of the old kings of Planet Vegeta, he wished to leave to find his brother, Peprin, and so he passed on the legacy to the third and youngest brother, the first King Vegeta.
Next to them stood the symbols of hope and peace on Earth. There, next to the three saiyans from ages past, stood Goku and Vegeta. And they were ready to fight.
* * * * * * * * * * *
The fight was tremendous. Outnumbered seven to one, Buu still made his presence and power known. Even in Other World, Kibitokai and Elder Kai felt the ground tremble with power. King Kai, however, was focused on something else.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Gohan zipped forward, prepared to deal a crippling blow to the empowered Buu. His flying kick connected and brought both of them colliding into a nearby valley wall. Buu's face was only in pain for a split second, before Gohan realized his foot was entrenched in the blob and it was slowly enveloping him.
"Too bad, boy," Buu chuckled "you would've done so much better had you stayed close to your friends!!" With a thought, Buu enveloped and absorbed the brash hero of Earth. When he rose up out of the Valley, the remaining saiyans could not believe their eyes. There was Gohan's Vest and shirt, but worn by a tougher, more muscular Super Buu!

King Kai sensed it and instinctively reached out telepathically to his pupil. He sent only the briefest of thoughts, knowing that too much info could distract Goku, or worse not get through. He could only hope Goku knew what to do with the name…
* * * * * * * * * * *
"Vegeta," Goku murmured. He looked to his prince. Vegeta was the polar opposite of the gentle Goku. Where Goku was a kind, loving, peaceful person, Vegeta was introverted, self-absorbed, and always ready for a fight. But, he was an incredibly strong fighter, always so close to Goku's own level. If Goku was reading King Kai's though correctly, Vegeta would be the best bet.
"VEGETA!" he yelled out, as he tossed a small object at the saiyan prince, faster than most human eyes could see.
Vegeta caught it and looked back at Goku. The clown had a similar item, an earring, in his left ear. Vegeta cocked his head quizzically until Goku pointed at Vegeta, then at his own right ear.
The two locked eyes. Silently, they acknowledged the plan. Vegeta brought the earring up to his right ear and the two baubles pulsed into life.
"Thanks, Vegeta" were Goku's words, as the two were pulled together into a violent burst of light and energy. As the battlefield dimmed, only one warrior stood where previously stood two. He wore a dark blue karate gi, with Saiyan gloves and boots. His name was Vegetto.
"Alright!" he shouted!
* * * * * * * * * * *
The two warriors of Earth had come back from the land of the dead to fight for earth. But just as quickly as they arrived, they left again to form this powerful warrior Called Vegetto. Could this be the end of Super Buu? What of all the poor souls trapped inside of him? Stay tuned for the next installment of DRAGONBALL Z!
