I am so sorry for not having this chapter out sooner! This story is winding
down, though there will be a sequel, which is already being planned. I hope
you enjoy this chapter. Some pretty big battles take place and there's a
surprise at the end.
~~
Gogeta and Dabuu stare each other down. Gogeta's power level was incredible. It totally dwarfed Dabuu's level. And he had the combined fighting knowledge of two of the greatest warriors to ever live and you had the ultimate warrior. Now there was only one question left: what kind of personality combination would emerge in Gogeta? Goten's naiveté and Trunks cockiness had made Gotenks arrogant and insufferable and extremely foolish. In fact, he appeared to be a younger version of Vegeta. Then again, he was half-way Vegeta's son.
But it appeared that the Z Warriors had lucked out in Gogeta's attitude. He looked to have Goku's straightforwardness and determination and Vegeta's ruthlessness in battle. And with Gogeta at his Super Saiyan 2 form, Dabuu didn't even stand a chance.
Gogeta tears through Dabuu with breakneck speed, shredding his body with every punch and shredding him more before he can reform.
"Wow, no mercy!" Krillin cheers as Gogeta attacks.
"Guys, Jesse's fallen unconscious," Pegaro says. Everyone turns to look at Jesse who had collapsed. He looked even worse than Goku had when he had depleted his energy to stall Majin Buu.
"This isn't good," Gohan says, "does anyone here know how to take Jesse to Otherworld? He'll feel fine once he gets back."
"But then he'll be stuck there until we can wish him back with the Dragon Balls on Namek," Bulma says.
"Better than passing into oblivion," Piccolo says, "Dende, take him to King Yemma's court and tell him to keep him there."
"I don't know how Piccolo," Dende says, "you haven't gotten around to teaching me that."
Piccolo curses softly.
"What'll happen if Jesse passes into oblivion?" Videl asks.
"No one really knows," Piccolo says, "very few have passed into oblivion."
"Hey, whats that?" Zarvon asks, spying something on the ground.
Gohan picks it up. "It looks like a Senzu bean, but its blue."
The Old Kai's voice pops up in Gohan's head. "Give that to Jesse. It works like a Senzu bean, but it works on the deceased. We gave it to Goku, but it must have slipped out of his pocket. He seemed to forget to give it to him to save him. Give it to him quickly or he's done for."
"Thanks Old Kai," Gohan says out loud. Everyone looks at him strangely. He replies easily. "The Old Kai just contacted me telepathically. He said this bean is like a Senzu for dead people."
Gohan quickly pops the blue bean into Jesse's mouth. He forces his friend to chew and swallow. Seconds later Jesse opens his eyes.
"Thanks Gohan," Jesse says, "what happened?"
"You depleted your energy, so we gave you a special bean that works like a Senzu bean," Gohan replies.
"Senzu bean?" Jesse asks, "whats that?"
"It completely restores a person energy and health," Gohan replies, "remember? I gave one to Videl at the tournament."
Jesse nods. "Oh yeah. Those things are little miracle workers."
"Hey look at Gogeta go!" Zarvon exclaims. Everyone returns their attention to the fight.
Gogeta was still ripping Dabuu into itty-bitty pieces.
"If he keeps that up, he'll win," Jesse says, "we just might get out of this alive."
"Dabuu is quite strong," Gohan says, "far stronger than either Majin Buu or Dabura. Gogeta is really tearing him apart."
"Oh no," Jesse says, his face suddenly turning milky white.
"What is it?" Gohan asks.
"Goku was a bit stronger than Majin Buu when he was a Super Saiyan 3," Jesse says, "and Vegeta was a bit stronger than Dabura as a Super Saiyan 2. Now Buu and Dabura have Fused into Dabuu, their power is incredible. But the same can be said for Gogeta. But the power of Gogeta, in the Fused state of Goku and Vegeta at Super Saiyan 2, should not be enough to annihilate Dabuu like this. Even at his best, Gogeta and Dabuu should only be about equal."
At that instant, Dabuu reforms and grabs Gogeta's hands, holding them in place. Everyone except for Jesse look on in shock.
"Whats going on?" Gogeta demands.
"You didn't hear the boy, did you?" Dabuu sneers, "even at your best, you should only be my equal, maybe a little stronger. I truly have been toying with you this entire time. You're the only one who can offer me any entertainment. But now I'm bored. I guess its time to dispose of you."
Dabuu immediately begins fighting back against Gogeta on an even footing. The two Fused warriors begin battling it out in the most spectacular fight ever seen.
Gogeta blocks a vicious punch by Dabuu and counters with a kick to the midsection. He then hits Dabuu in the gut with his left fist and follows it up with a powerful blow to the back of the head.
"Dabuu is just too strong," Gohan says, "he's stronger than Gogeta is and since Gogeta can't become a Super Saiyan 3, he doesn't stand a chance."
"Gohan, I have an idea," Jesse says, "how long do you think you, Gogeta, Gotenks, and Zarvon can hold him still?"
"Maybe ten minutes," Gohan says after some brief mental calculations, "why?"
"Remember the attack I used on your father at the Tenkaichi Budoukai?" Jesse asks.
"The Dragon Cannon?" Zarvon asks.
"The one and the same," Jesse grins.
"That just might work," Gohan says, "Goten, Trunks, Fuse now. Zarvon, go up and tell Gogeta whats going on while I hold Dabuu off for a bit. I just hope I have what it takes to hold him off long enough."
"You got it," Zarvon says as he power sup to Super Saiyan 3 and takes off while Gohan goes and engages Dabuu. Goten and Trunks perform the Fusion Dance and become Gotenks, immediately powering up to Super Saiyan 3.
Jesse prepares himself for his best attack, the Drain Cannon. He jabs downwards with both hands, then spreads his fingers wide. He then folds the ring and pinkie fingers inwards and pushes the index and middle fingers together and motions towards himself with the fingers. He then motions them outwards and closes them into fists. He then spreads his fingers up his hand so that the tips of his fingers were touching the joints on the palm of his hand. He then opens his hands flat and presses them flat together to his right side like the Kamehameha.
Gogeta, Zarvon, and Gotenks see this and immediately launch themselves at Dabuu. They each grab an limb along with Gohan. Jesse opens his eyes, showing them to be glowing a vibrant sky blue. A small aura of the same color appears around dabuu, freezing him in place, stopping him from using any of the dexterity that came from having Majin Buu be a part of him to slip out of their grasps.
"Target Track!" Jesse yells, moving his hands out in front of him and opening his middle fingers. A beam of intense white light erupts from the space between his ring and index fingers and hits Dabuu, locking onto the center of his chest.
An orb of energy forms within Jesse's hands. He pushes as much power as possible into the attack, straining to make it take away more than the designed fifty percent.
"Drain Cannon!" Jesse yells as he launches his most lethal attack by opening his ring and index fingers. The orb launches out from between his thumbs and pinkies and moves along the white beam and hits Dabuu square in the chest.
A brilliant white explosion erupts nanoseconds after Gogeta, Gohan, Gotenks, and Zarvon let go of Dabuu so they don't run the risk of getting caught in the attack.
As the light fades, it reveals a haggard looking Dabuu. It appeared that the Drain Cannon had more of an effect on him that it should have. Jesse supposed that he had managed to sap away almost eighty perfect of Dabuu's strength. Even he could conceivably take him down now, though he didn't want to risk it.
"Your done now Dabuu," Gogeta says solemnly, "almost any fighter here can beat you now. Your through."
"Wh what have you done to me?" Dabuu demands.
"That attack sapped away more than half of your strength," Zarvon says with a grin, "your power has been significantly lowered. Even the weakest of the strongest, Jesse, can beat you now."
"Gee, thanks," Jesse mutters sarcastically, "I've already made my contribution."
"You think you've won?" Dabuu demands, "we shall see!"
With that, he spits on Gotenks. Gotenks immediately turns into a pink goo that Dabuu immediately absorbs into himself. His outfit changes to match more of what Gotenks had been wearing. He then spits and hits Gogeta, absorbing him as well. His outfit darkens in color to match Gogeta's outfit.
"No, Gotenks, Gogeta!" Gohan cries out.
Dabuu spits again, trying to hit Gohan, but Zarvon leaps in front of the spit and is immediately absorbed instead.
"NOO!!!" Gohan yells as he sees his friend, his father and Vegeta, and his little brother and Trunks become part of the terrible Dabuu. However, his power only increases to his previous maximum due to lack of strength he had had before absorbing them.
~In Otherworld~
The Supreme Kai, Kabito, and the Old Kai all look on in horror as three of the best hopes for stopping Dabuu are absorbed into the very monster he had been trying to stop.
"Wh-what happened?" the Old Kai asks, "I know Buu could absorb people, but I thought he had to turn them into chocolate or something. Is this some difference due to him now being part of a Fusion?"
"No, this is the original way that Majin Buu absorbed people," the Supreme Kai says, "this is how he absorbed the South Supreme Kai and the Dai Kaio."
"What?" the Old Kai yelps, "if your South Supreme Kai and Dai Kaio were anything like the ones I knew, then how could he possibly overpower them?
"He got them both by trickery," the Supreme Kai says, "when he first attacked, the beautiful West Supreme Kai was the first to fight him. It was a battle to the death that she lost. She fought valiantly, but futilely in the end. Next was the wise and skilled North supreme Kai. He was Jesse's mentor during the Demon Wars. Those two were like a father and son the way they fought alongside each other and cared for each other. Sadly, even his mighty sword could not cut down the evil that was Majin Buu."
"So that explains how Jesse came about so much power," the Old Kai mumbles, "he was trained by the North Supreme Kai."
"Yes," the Supreme Kai says, "and next to fight was the South Supreme Kai. He was the sturdiest and strongest of us four Supreme Kai's. He fought Majin Buu with brute force. And he overpowered him too. He ripped Buu's left arm off. But then Buu used that severed arm to absorb him. At that, he transformed into a hulking monster. That was when it was my turn to fight. I was young and inexperienced then, newly come to being a Supreme Kai. The former East Supreme Kai perished at the hands of Demos at the start of the Demon Wars. I had to learn fast or perish myself. Right when I thought it was my end, Dai Kaio appeared and saved me. He showed more power than I had ever seen him use against anyone, even Dabura and Demos."
"He may have been pushing every bit of his strength into those attacks," the Old Kai says.
"Yes, he may have been," the Supreme Kai says, "Dai Kaio split him into hundreds of pieces. I thought for sure that he was finished, but then those pieces came together and surrounded the Dai Kaio. He was absorbed and then the fat Buu that first appeared on Earth was formed."
"I see," the Old Kai says, "by absorbing the Dai Kaio and the South Supreme Kai, he actually weakened himself because of the way their powers conflicted with his."
"Yes, I see," Kabito says, "it was ingenious for the Dai Kaio to sacrifice himself like that, but without any of the other Supreme Kai's you could not defeat Majin Buu master."
"No, I couldn't, and none of the deceased warriors on the Grand Kai's planet could either," the Supreme Kai replies, "in fact, only three ever came close to that level. Olibu, Pikkon, and Goku."
"Don't forget Vegeta and that guy those Earthlings fought seven years ago," the Old Kai says, "the one Goku was telling us about. Cell I believe his name was."
"Yes, this Cell was supposed to be as strong as Dabura was, or very close to it," the Supreme Kai says, "but still only Goku and Gohan have come close to matching Majin Buu's true power."
"How close have they come to his power?" the Old Kai asks.
"I'm not sure," the Supreme Kai admits, "they are both tremendously powerful, but I'm not sure if we've seen Gohan's full power yet."
"To tell the truth, I'm not sure if we have either," the Old Kai says, "his hidden power was very stubborn."
"Well, Jesse did say Gohan had something called "the Rage"," Kabito says.
"The Rage?!" the Old Kai exclaims, "if that's so, then his potential is limitless, more so than any other Saiyan to ever live! He can increase his power far more than a mere Super Saiyan transformation or his Mystic power that I have unlocked! If he harnesses the Rage, then his power will reach levels the universe has never seen and will likely never see again!"
"Is the Rage truly that strong, esteemed elder?" the Supreme Kai asks.
"The Rage is quite possibly the greatest force in the universe," the Old Kai says, "if an ordinary Earthling fighter, like young Gohan's friend Videl, used the Rage to its fullest, she could obliterate Dabuu with a wave of her hand."
"How can that be?" the Supreme Kai demands, "how could such a force exist?"
"I do not know," the Old Kai says, "but it does exist and we just might be able to use it to stop Dabuu."
~On Earth~
The newly empowered Dabuu looks at Gohan with a derisive sneer. "You see, boy? Do you see the power that I command?"
Gohan settles into a fighting stance. "I do see it, and I'll be honest. You are a lot stronger than I am. But that does not mean I'll just leave the Earth and the rest of the universe at your mercy. I will destroy you. I've faced odds like this before and triumphed. And besides, you only have ten more minutes until Gogeta's Fusion wears off. With the loss of that much power, we'll be equal until Gotenks' Fusion wears off. When that happens, you're mine."
"We shall see," Dabuu says.
"Gohan!" Jesse yells, "here, catch!"
Jesse throws one of the two Kai Earrings at Gohan, who easily catches it.
"Left ear!" Jesse yells, pointing to the Earring on his right ear.
"Are you sure?" Gohan yells.
"Don't worry, I know a few tricks to deal with undoing the Fusion!" Jesse yells, "and there's always the Dragon Balls!"
"Right," Gohan says as he quickly attaches the Kai Earring to his right ear.
"What?!" Dabuu gasps. He had forgotten about them having a pair of Kai Earrings to use. "NOOOOO!!!!"
Gohan and Jesse are quickly pulled together. A blinding flash of light ensues.
As the light fades, a single new warrior stands in their place. He had Gohan's hairstyle, though it was more like the hair style he had when he was when he was fighting Nappa and Vegeta, with a few dark brown highlights that matched Jesse's hair color. His facial features were more Gohan than Jesse, but you could easily see them both behind the dark eyes. His outfit was largely like the on Gohan had been wearing, but the gi pants were white and loose, like the ones Jesse had been wearing. On his ears hung the two Kai Earrings.
"Dabuu, it is time for your destruction," the new Fused warrior says with the dual voices of Gohan and Jesse, with Gohan's being a bit more prevalent.
"And what is your name?" Dabuu asks out of curiosity.
The Fused warrior thinks for a moment. "Call me Jehan." (A/N: Just take the letters from the name and pronounce them the way they are pronounced in their original names to get how this name sounds.)
"Well, Jehan, if you think you can defeat me, you are seriously mistaken," Dabuu says, "I am far more powerful than you will ever be."
"I think not," Jehan says and he power sup to his maximum. He was perfectly equal to Dabuu. However, there was no telling how the combination of Gohan's power and Jesse's power would bring.
In the blink of an eye, Jehan is floating in front of Dabuu.
"How did you move so fast?" Dabuu demands.
"Really, can't I keep some of my secrets?" Jehan asks humorously. Without warning, he punches Dabuu in the gut, stretching his stomach to its absolute limits. He then follows up by spinning mid-air and kicking Dabuu in the side of the head and finishing the combo with a mid-level ki blast to the face that sends Dabuu careening towards the ground far below.
"And here we were worrying about how the difference in Gohan and Jesse's power levels would affect me," Jehan chuckles, "apparently the difference in our power is evened out and made us perfectly equal to Dabuu. And I'm not even sure if I can go Super Saiyan or not. I'll try later though. Its not like I really need the power now. I can easily take you out as I am, Dabuu."
Dabuu snarls and flies up to the Lookout. He glares at the Z Warriors and Jehan.
"So, you have the strength of both Jesse and Gohan," Dabuu snarls, "as well as the holy magic that Jesse possessed."
"And all of their combined skills," Jehan replies, "face it, Dabuu. You cannot possibly win."
"We shall see," Dabuu says solemnly, "sword!"
A sword identical in shape and size to Dabura's appears in Dabuu's right hand, only the hilt was as red as blood with the handle and blade being as black as ebony.
"So that's how its gonna be, huh?" Jehan snorts, "sword!"
The Silver Sword that Jesse had wielded appears in Jehan's right hand. The two Fused warriors stare each other down as they prepare to enter a battle the likes of which the universe had never seen before.
"So, you're gonna use Jesse's holy blade, are you?" Dabuu sneers, "pitiful. You can't even create a new sword for yourself."
"This is the only sword I need," Jehan says confidently as he switches into a new fighting stance, "it will destroy you. You know its power."
"Yes, but is there enough of Jesse in you to control its power?" Dabuu demands, "I think not."
"Why don't we find out," Jehan asks, blurring and disappearing to charge Dabuu. Dabuu blurs into super speed as well. A violent explosion rips the air as the two blades crash into each other, sending sparks and bolts of energy rippling through the air. The two Fused warriors begin a fierce battle for dominance, using the full scope of their skills as martial artists and swordsmen.
"Can anyone follow them?" Videl asks.
"I can barely feel their power," Krillin shudders, "that's how strong they are! Threy are so strong I can barely even detect them. It's too much for me to handle! Piccolo, Dende, can either of you feel their power any better?"
"No, Krillin, I can't," Piccolo says. He actually looked scared. "The power that Dabuu and Jehan have is absolutely incredible. I don't think anything in the universe has ever come close."
"Will we really be able to separate Jesse and Gohan when this is over?" Videl asks nervously.
"Don't worry Videl, we'll get them into separate bodies again," Chichi assures the young girl, "after all, I do want grandchildren."
Videl blushes fiercely at that comment. "Chichi, Gohan and I aren't even dating yet!"
Bulma arches an eyebrow and smiles wildly. "You said 'yet' this time Videl. So you and Gohan are planning on dating and maybe getting married someday."
"Well, Gohan and I do need to have a bit of a talk when this is over," Videl admits, still blushing, "but I do think we might become more than just friends after this."
"That's assuming we can get him and Jesse separated," Eighteen comments.
"That's not funny," Videl snaps.
Meanwhile, Jehan and Dabuu were fighting at speeds just below piercing the sound barrier. Their swords clashed with tremendous amounts of sparks and lighting bolts from the two mighty warrior's.
"You're good," Dabuu admits as he blocks a downslice and counters it with a thrust that goes right through Jehan's defenses. However, Jehan uses his superior speed to avoid the thrust.
The battle goes on, neither one gaining a definite advantage over the other. Jehan would use his superior speed and knowledge of sword techniques to strike Dabuu, but Dabuu would counter with his superior experience and strength. The display of various swordsmanship styles was one for the record books.
"How long can this go on?" Pegaro asks. He couldn't see the fight, only Piccolo could even remotely see the fight.
"There's no telling," Piccolo replies, "Jehan and Dabuu are evenly matched. Dabuu has more raw power and experience on his side, but Jehan has all of the swordsmanship skills that were at Jesse's disposal and he has Gohan's speed. Between those two, they can keep up with Dabuu for any length of time. Jehan is not wasting a single movement. Every move he's making leaves him open to attack again without a moment's hesitation. If they are completely equal in everything except skill, which it seems that that is in this case is the truth, then Jehan will win because he's not wasting any energy. Every block opens up a chance for him to attack. Every attack of his that is blocked he is able to turn around to attack again instantly. Dabuu appears to be hard pressed to keep up."
"So Jehan's gonna win?" Videl asks.
"He must," Piccolo says, "he's our last chance."
"Don't worry, he'll win," Videl says confidently, "Gohan was incredibly strong and Jesse had amazing abilities. They'll tear Dabuu apart."
Indeed, it did look like Jehan was gaining the upper hand. Dabuu was cut and bleeding from several wounds, most of them not very serious and were healing rapidly. Jehan, on the other hand, looked to be in perfect condition. His determination was plainly evident in his eyes: the eyes of a warrior.
Dabuu breaks off the battle with Jehan.
"What's the matter, Dabuu?" Jehan demands, "getting tired?"
"No, just letting you have some fun," Dabuu replies. He powers up slightly, all of his wounds vanishing instantly and his power level increasing by an incredible amount.
Jehan was stunned. "Wh-what? But how?"
"Foolish boy," Dabuu sneers, "that attack that Jesse used on me did nothing more than inconvenience me. My power has increased tenfold by absorbing those fools."
"I'd like to tell you that the power you're getting from Gogeta and Gotenks will not last much longer," Jehan says, "the Fusion from the Fusion Dance only last for half an hour. Gogeta only had about ten minutes left, and he's where most of your power is coming from. Gotenks still has half an hour. And any power you received from Zarvon really wouldn't help you enough to make a difference."
"So you think," Dabuu sneers, "compare your power to mine. I am at my complete power! You are as strong as you can possibly get and you still can't compare to me!"
"We'll see," Jehan says and powers up to his max: twenty-five percent stronger than he currently was at.
"Is that the best you can manage?" Dabuu sneers as he pushes his power level up even higher. His power level was now far beyond Jehan's.
"It's over," Piccolo says, "Dabuu's power will be too much for Jehan to handle. Unless he is able to go Super Saiyan. But I'm not even sure if he can do that. Technically, Jehan is only a quarter Saiyan, so he might not be able to."
"So we're gonna die," Eighteen remarks.
Jehan and Dabuu slowly float back up to the Lookout.
"So, boy, are you going to surrender or die fighting a futile battle?" Dabuu demands.
"I'm just letting you bask in your ego," Jehan says coldly, "before I wipe that smirk off your face and destroy you utterly.
"So, you're going to try and fight, are you?" Dabuu sneers, "and when you fail, no one will be left who is able to defeat me!"
"Come and try me," Jehan says, raising his sword.
"Very well," Dabuu says as he charge sin with a vicious thrust. Jehan parries the attack and snap kicks Dabuu to the back of the head. He then cuts off Dabuu's left arm and knees him in the throat. Dabuu falls back, gasping for breath. His severed arm turns into goo and reapplies itself to him and reforms into a new arm.
"So, you still have some surprises boy," Dabuu growls, "very well then, no more mercy!"
"That's exactly what I will give you," Jehan says. His Silver Sword vanishes from site and he prepares to power up.
"So, you're gonna fight me without your sword, are you?" Dabuu sneers as his sword vanishes, "Very well then! Come and test your pathetic power against my own!"
With a yell, Jehan begins to summon up his full power. A blazing golden aura surrounds him like that of a Super Saiyan. His hair begins to turn straight up, matching the style of a Super Saiyan. However, instead of blazing gold, it turns a brilliant silver. His eyes flash momentarily before settling into a deep blue.
"What is this?" Dabuu demands, "a new form of Super Saiyan?"
Jehan looks up, lightning sparking around his eyes. "Super Saiyan? Oh no, this isn't a form of Super Saiyan. This has much more potential than Super Saiyan. I have become something far more dangerous than a Super Saiyan. I have become a Super Warrior!"

Well, what do you think? Far from being my best chapter ever, but its better than nothing. As always, please review.

Gogeta and Dabuu stare each other down. Gogeta's power level was incredible. It totally dwarfed Dabuu's level. And he had the combined fighting knowledge of two of the greatest warriors to ever live and you had the ultimate warrior. Now there was only one question left: what kind of personality combination would emerge in Gogeta?

Piccolo curses softly.
"What'll happen if Jesse passes into oblivion?" Videl asks.
"No one really knows," Piccolo says, "very few have passed into oblivion."
"Hey, whats that?" Zarvon asks, spying something on the ground.
Gohan picks it up. "It looks like a Senzu bean, but its blue."
The Old Kai's voice pops up in Gohan's head. "Give that to Jesse. It works like a Senzu bean, but it works on the deceased. We gave it to Goku, but it must have slipped out of his pocket. He seemed to forget to give it to him to save him. Give it to him quickly or he's done for."
"Thanks Old Kai," Gohan says out loud. Everyone looks at him strangely. He replies easily. "The Old Kai just contacted me telepathically. He said this bean is like a Senzu for dead people."
Gohan quickly pops the blue bean into Jesse's mouth. He forces his friend to chew and swallow. Seconds later Jesse opens his eyes.
"Thanks Gohan," Jesse says, "what happened?"
"You depleted your energy, so we gave you a special bean that works like a Senzu bean," Gohan replies.
"Senzu bean?" Jesse asks, "whats that?"
"It completely restores a person energy and health," Gohan replies, "remember? I gave one to Videl at the tournament."
Jesse nods. "Oh yeah. Those things are little miracle workers."

"Whats going on?" Gogeta demands.
"You didn't hear the boy, did you?" Dabuu sneers, "even at your best, you should only be my equal, maybe a little stronger. I truly have been toying with you this entire time. You're the only one who can offer me any entertainment. But now I'm bored. I guess its time to dispose of you."
Dabuu immediately begins fighting back against Gogeta on an even footing. The two Fused warriors begin battling it out in the most spectacular fight ever seen.
Gogeta blocks a vicious punch by Dabuu and counters with a kick to the midsection. He then hits Dabuu in the gut with his left fist and follows it up with a powerful blow to the back of the head.
"Dabuu is just too strong," Gohan says, "he's stronger than Gogeta is and since Gogeta can't become a Super Saiyan 3, he doesn't stand a chance."
"Gohan, I have an idea," Jesse says, "how long do you think you, Gogeta, Gotenks, and Zarvon can hold him still?"
"Maybe ten minutes," Gohan says after some brief mental calculations, "why?"
"Remember the attack I used on your father at the Tenkaichi Budoukai?" Jesse asks.
"The Dragon Cannon?" Zarvon asks.
"The one and the same," Jesse grins.
"That just might work," Gohan says, "Goten, Trunks, Fuse now. Zarvon, go up and tell Gogeta whats going on while I hold Dabuu off for a bit. I just hope I have what it takes to hold him off long enough."
"You got it," Zarvon says as he power sup to Super Saiyan 3 and takes off while Gohan goes and engages Dabuu. Goten and Trunks perform the Fusion Dance and become Gotenks, immediately powering up to Super Saiyan 3.
Jesse prepares himself for his best attack, the Drain Cannon. He jabs downwards with both hands, then spreads his fingers wide. He then folds the ring and pinkie fingers inwards and pushes the index and middle fingers together and motions towards himself with the fingers. He then motions them outwards and closes them into fists. He then spreads his fingers up his hand so that the tips of his fingers were touching the joints on the palm of his hand. He then opens his hands flat and presses them flat together to his right side like the Kamehameha.
Gogeta, Zarvon, and Gotenks see this and immediately launch themselves at Dabuu. They each grab an limb along with Gohan. Jesse opens his eyes, showing them to be glowing a vibrant sky blue. A small aura of the same color appears around dabuu, freezing him in place, stopping him from using any of the dexterity that came from having Majin Buu be a part of him to slip out of their grasps.
"Target Track!" Jesse yells, moving his hands out in front of him and opening his middle fingers. A beam of intense white light erupts from the space between his ring and index fingers and hits Dabuu, locking onto the center of his chest.
An orb of energy forms within Jesse's hands. He pushes as much power as possible into the attack, straining to make it take away more than the designed fifty percent.
"Drain Cannon!" Jesse yells as he launches his most lethal attack by opening his ring and index fingers. The orb launches out from between his thumbs and pinkies and moves along the white beam and hits Dabuu square in the chest.
A brilliant white explosion erupts nanoseconds after Gogeta, Gohan, Gotenks, and Zarvon let go of Dabuu so they don't run the risk of getting caught in the attack.
As the light fades, it reveals a haggard looking Dabuu. It appeared that the Drain Cannon had more of an effect on him that it should have. Jesse supposed that he had managed to sap away almost eighty perfect of Dabuu's strength. Even he could conceivably take him down now, though he didn't want to risk it.
"Your done now Dabuu," Gogeta says solemnly, "almost any fighter here can beat you now. Your through."
"Wh what have you done to me?" Dabuu demands.
"That attack sapped away more than half of your strength," Zarvon says with a grin, "your power has been significantly lowered. Even the weakest of the strongest, Jesse, can beat you now."
"Gee, thanks," Jesse mutters sarcastically, "I've already made my contribution."
"You think you've won?" Dabuu demands, "we shall see!"
With that, he spits on Gotenks. Gotenks immediately turns into a pink goo that Dabuu immediately absorbs into himself. His outfit changes to match more of what Gotenks had been wearing. He then spits and hits Gogeta, absorbing him as well. His outfit darkens in color to match Gogeta's outfit.
"No, Gotenks, Gogeta!" Gohan cries out.
Dabuu spits again, trying to hit Gohan, but Zarvon leaps in front of the spit and is immediately absorbed instead.
"NOO!!!" Gohan yells as he sees his friend, his father and Vegeta, and his little brother and Trunks become part of the terrible Dabuu. However, his power only increases to his previous maximum due to lack of strength he had had before absorbing them.
~In Otherworld~
The Supreme Kai, Kabito, and the Old Kai all look on in horror as three of the best hopes for stopping Dabuu are absorbed into the very monster he had been trying to stop.
"Wh-what happened?" the Old Kai asks, "I know Buu could absorb people, but I thought he had to turn them into chocolate or something. Is this some difference due to him now being part of a Fusion?"
"No, this is the original way that Majin Buu absorbed people," the Supreme Kai says, "this is how he absorbed the South Supreme Kai and the Dai Kaio."
"What?" the Old Kai yelps, "if your South Supreme Kai and Dai Kaio were anything like the ones I knew, then how could he possibly overpower them?
"He got them both by trickery," the Supreme Kai says, "when he first attacked, the beautiful West Supreme Kai was the first to fight him. It was a battle to the death that she lost. She fought valiantly, but futilely in the end. Next was the wise and skilled North supreme Kai. He was Jesse's mentor during the Demon Wars. Those two were like a father and son the way they fought alongside each other and cared for each other. Sadly, even his mighty sword could not cut down the evil that was Majin Buu."
"So that explains how Jesse came about so much power," the Old Kai mumbles, "he was trained by the North Supreme Kai."
"Yes," the Supreme Kai says, "and next to fight was the South Supreme Kai. He was the sturdiest and strongest of us four Supreme Kai's. He fought Majin Buu with brute force. And he overpowered him too. He ripped Buu's left arm off. But then Buu used that severed arm to absorb him. At that, he transformed into a hulking monster. That was when it was my turn to fight. I was young and inexperienced then, newly come to being a Supreme Kai. The former East Supreme Kai perished at the hands of Demos at the start of the Demon Wars. I had to learn fast or perish myself. Right when I thought it was my end, Dai Kaio appeared and saved me. He showed more power than I had ever seen him use against anyone, even Dabura and Demos."
"He may have been pushing every bit of his strength into those attacks," the Old Kai says.
"Yes, he may have been," the Supreme Kai says, "Dai Kaio split him into hundreds of pieces. I thought for sure that he was finished, but then those pieces came together and surrounded the Dai Kaio. He was absorbed and then the fat Buu that first appeared on Earth was formed."
"I see," the Old Kai says, "by absorbing the Dai Kaio and the South Supreme Kai, he actually weakened himself because of the way their powers conflicted with his."
"Yes, I see," Kabito says, "it was ingenious for the Dai Kaio to sacrifice himself like that, but without any of the other Supreme Kai's you could not defeat Majin Buu master."
"No, I couldn't, and none of the deceased warriors on the Grand Kai's planet could either," the Supreme Kai replies, "in fact, only three ever came close to that level. Olibu, Pikkon, and Goku."
"Don't forget Vegeta and that guy those Earthlings fought seven years ago," the Old Kai says, "the one Goku was telling us about. Cell I believe his name was."
"Yes, this Cell was supposed to be as strong as Dabura was, or very close to it," the Supreme Kai says, "but still only Goku and Gohan have come close to matching Majin Buu's true power."
"How close have they come to his power?" the Old Kai asks.
"I'm not sure," the Supreme Kai admits, "they are both tremendously powerful, but I'm not sure if we've seen Gohan's full power yet."
"To tell the truth, I'm not sure if we have either," the Old Kai says, "his hidden power was very stubborn."
"Well, Jesse did say Gohan had something called "the Rage"," Kabito says.
"The Rage?!" the Old Kai exclaims, "if that's so, then his potential is limitless, more so than any other Saiyan to ever live! He can increase his power far more than a mere Super Saiyan transformation or his Mystic power that I have unlocked! If he harnesses the Rage, then his power will reach levels the universe has never seen and will likely never see again!"
"Is the Rage truly that strong, esteemed elder?" the Supreme Kai asks.
"The Rage is quite possibly the greatest force in the universe," the Old Kai says, "if an ordinary Earthling fighter, like young Gohan's friend Videl, used the Rage to its fullest, she could obliterate Dabuu with a wave of her hand."
"How can that be?" the Supreme Kai demands, "how could such a force exist?"
"I do not know," the Old Kai says, "but it does exist and we just might be able to use it to stop Dabuu."
~On Earth~
The newly empowered Dabuu looks at Gohan with a derisive sneer. "You see, boy? Do you see the power that I command?"
Gohan settles into a fighting stance. "I do see it, and I'll be honest. You are a lot stronger than I am. But that does not mean I'll just leave the Earth and the rest of the universe at your mercy. I will destroy you. I've faced odds like this before and triumphed. And besides, you only have ten more minutes until Gogeta's Fusion wears off. With the loss of that much power, we'll be equal until Gotenks' Fusion wears off. When that happens, you're mine."
"We shall see," Dabuu says.
"Gohan!" Jesse yells, "here, catch!"
Jesse throws one of the two Kai Earrings at Gohan, who easily catches it.
"Left ear!" Jesse yells, pointing to the Earring on his right ear.
"Are you sure?" Gohan yells.
"Don't worry, I know a few tricks to deal with undoing the Fusion!" Jesse yells, "and there's always the Dragon Balls!"
"Right," Gohan says as he quickly attaches the Kai Earring to his right ear.
"What?!" Dabuu gasps. He had forgotten about them having a pair of Kai Earrings to use. "NOOOOO!!!!"
Gohan and Jesse are quickly pulled together. A blinding flash of light ensues.
As the light fades, a single new warrior stands in their place. He had Gohan's hairstyle, though it was more like the hair style he had when he was when he was fighting Nappa and Vegeta, with a few dark brown highlights that matched Jesse's hair color. His facial features were more Gohan than Jesse, but you could easily see them both behind the dark eyes. His outfit was largely like the on Gohan had been wearing, but the gi pants were white and loose, like the ones Jesse had been wearing. On his ears hung the two Kai Earrings.
"Dabuu, it is time for your destruction," the new Fused warrior says with the dual voices of Gohan and Jesse, with Gohan's being a bit more prevalent.
"And what is your name?" Dabuu asks out of curiosity.
The Fused warrior thinks for a moment. "Call me Jehan." (A/N: Just take the letters from the name and pronounce them the way they are pronounced in their original names to get how this name sounds.)
"Well, Jehan, if you think you can defeat me, you are seriously mistaken," Dabuu says, "I am far more powerful than you will ever be."
"I think not," Jehan says and he power sup to his maximum. He was perfectly equal to Dabuu. However, there was no telling how the combination of Gohan's power and Jesse's power would bring.
In the blink of an eye, Jehan is floating in front of Dabuu.
"How did you move so fast?" Dabuu demands.
"Really, can't I keep some of my secrets?" Jehan asks humorously. Without warning, he punches Dabuu in the gut, stretching his stomach to its absolute limits. He then follows up by spinning mid-air and kicking Dabuu in the side of the head and finishing the combo with a mid-level ki blast to the face that sends Dabuu careening towards the ground far below.
"And here we were worrying about how the difference in Gohan and Jesse's power levels would affect me," Jehan chuckles, "apparently the difference in our power is evened out and made us perfectly equal to Dabuu. And I'm not even sure if I can go Super Saiyan or not. I'll try later though. Its not like I really need the power now. I can easily take you out as I am, Dabuu."
Dabuu snarls and flies up to the Lookout. He glares at the Z Warriors and Jehan.
"So, you have the strength of both Jesse and Gohan," Dabuu snarls, "as well as the holy magic that Jesse possessed."
"And all of their combined skills," Jehan replies, "face it, Dabuu. You cannot possibly win."
"We shall see," Dabuu says solemnly, "sword!"
A sword identical in shape and size to Dabura's appears in Dabuu's right hand, only the hilt was as red as blood with the handle and blade being as black as ebony.
"So that's how its gonna be, huh?" Jehan snorts, "sword!"
The Silver Sword that Jesse had wielded appears in Jehan's right hand. The two Fused warriors stare each other down as they prepare to enter a battle the likes of which the universe had never seen before.
"So, you're gonna use Jesse's holy blade, are you?" Dabuu sneers, "pitiful. You can't even create a new sword for yourself."
"This is the only sword I need," Jehan says confidently as he switches into a new fighting stance, "it will destroy you. You know its power."
"Yes, but is there enough of Jesse in you to control its power?" Dabuu demands, "I think not."
"Why don't we find out," Jehan asks, blurring and disappearing to charge Dabuu. Dabuu blurs into super speed as well. A violent explosion rips the air as the two blades crash into each other, sending sparks and bolts of energy rippling through the air. The two Fused warriors begin a fierce battle for dominance, using the full scope of their skills as martial artists and swordsmen.
"Can anyone follow them?" Videl asks.
"I can barely feel their power," Krillin shudders, "that's how strong they are! Threy are so strong I can barely even detect them. It's too much for me to handle! Piccolo, Dende, can either of you feel their power any better?"
"No, Krillin, I can't," Piccolo says. He actually looked scared. "The power that Dabuu and Jehan have is absolutely incredible. I don't think anything in the universe has ever come close."
"Will we really be able to separate Jesse and Gohan when this is over?" Videl asks nervously.
"Don't worry Videl, we'll get them into separate bodies again," Chichi assures the young girl, "after all, I do want grandchildren."
Videl blushes fiercely at that comment. "Chichi, Gohan and I aren't even dating yet!"
Bulma arches an eyebrow and smiles wildly. "You said 'yet' this time Videl. So you and Gohan are planning on dating and maybe getting married someday."
"Well, Gohan and I do need to have a bit of a talk when this is over," Videl admits, still blushing, "but I do think we might become more than just friends after this."
"That's assuming we can get him and Jesse separated," Eighteen comments.
"That's not funny," Videl snaps.
Meanwhile, Jehan and Dabuu were fighting at speeds just below piercing the sound barrier. Their swords clashed with tremendous amounts of sparks and lighting bolts from the two mighty warrior's.
"You're good," Dabuu admits as he blocks a downslice and counters it with a thrust that goes right through Jehan's defenses. However, Jehan uses his superior speed to avoid the thrust.
The battle goes on, neither one gaining a definite advantage over the other. Jehan would use his superior speed and knowledge of sword techniques to strike Dabuu, but Dabuu would counter with his superior experience and strength. The display of various swordsmanship styles was one for the record books.
"How long can this go on?" Pegaro asks. He couldn't see the fight, only Piccolo could even remotely see the fight.
"There's no telling," Piccolo replies, "Jehan and Dabuu are evenly matched. Dabuu has more raw power and experience on his side, but Jehan has all of the swordsmanship skills that were at Jesse's disposal and he has Gohan's speed. Between those two, they can keep up with Dabuu for any length of time. Jehan is not wasting a single movement. Every move he's making leaves him open to attack again without a moment's hesitation. If they are completely equal in everything except skill, which it seems that that is in this case is the truth, then Jehan will win because he's not wasting any energy. Every block opens up a chance for him to attack. Every attack of his that is blocked he is able to turn around to attack again instantly. Dabuu appears to be hard pressed to keep up."
"So Jehan's gonna win?" Videl asks.
"He must," Piccolo says, "he's our last chance."
"Don't worry, he'll win," Videl says confidently, "Gohan was incredibly strong and Jesse had amazing abilities. They'll tear Dabuu apart."
Indeed, it did look like Jehan was gaining the upper hand. Dabuu was cut and bleeding from several wounds, most of them not very serious and were healing rapidly. Jehan, on the other hand, looked to be in perfect condition. His determination was plainly evident in his eyes: the eyes of a warrior.
Dabuu breaks off the battle with Jehan.
"What's the matter, Dabuu?" Jehan demands, "getting tired?"
"No, just letting you have some fun," Dabuu replies. He powers up slightly, all of his wounds vanishing instantly and his power level increasing by an incredible amount.
Jehan was stunned. "Wh-what? But how?"
"Foolish boy," Dabuu sneers, "that attack that Jesse used on me did nothing more than inconvenience me. My power has increased tenfold by absorbing those fools."
"I'd like to tell you that the power you're getting from Gogeta and Gotenks will not last much longer," Jehan says, "the Fusion from the Fusion Dance only last for half an hour. Gogeta only had about ten minutes left, and he's where most of your power is coming from. Gotenks still has half an hour. And any power you received from Zarvon really wouldn't help you enough to make a difference."
"So you think," Dabuu sneers, "compare your power to mine. I am at my complete power! You are as strong as you can possibly get and you still can't compare to me!"
"We'll see," Jehan says and powers up to his max: twenty-five percent stronger than he currently was at.
"Is that the best you can manage?" Dabuu sneers as he pushes his power level up even higher. His power level was now far beyond Jehan's.
"It's over," Piccolo says, "Dabuu's power will be too much for Jehan to handle. Unless he is able to go Super Saiyan. But I'm not even sure if he can do that. Technically, Jehan is only a quarter Saiyan, so he might not be able to."
"So we're gonna die," Eighteen remarks.
Jehan and Dabuu slowly float back up to the Lookout.
"So, boy, are you going to surrender or die fighting a futile battle?" Dabuu demands.
"I'm just letting you bask in your ego," Jehan says coldly, "before I wipe that smirk off your face and destroy you utterly.
"So, you're going to try and fight, are you?" Dabuu sneers, "and when you fail, no one will be left who is able to defeat me!"
"Come and try me," Jehan says, raising his sword.
"Very well," Dabuu says as he charge sin with a vicious thrust. Jehan parries the attack and snap kicks Dabuu to the back of the head. He then cuts off Dabuu's left arm and knees him in the throat. Dabuu falls back, gasping for breath. His severed arm turns into goo and reapplies itself to him and reforms into a new arm.
"So, you still have some surprises boy," Dabuu growls, "very well then, no more mercy!"
"That's exactly what I will give you," Jehan says. His Silver Sword vanishes from site and he prepares to power up.
"So, you're gonna fight me without your sword, are you?" Dabuu sneers as his sword vanishes, "Very well then! Come and test your pathetic power against my own!"
With a yell, Jehan begins to summon up his full power. A blazing golden aura surrounds him like that of a Super Saiyan. His hair begins to turn straight up, matching the style of a Super Saiyan. However, instead of blazing gold, it turns a brilliant silver. His eyes flash momentarily before settling into a deep blue.
"What is this?" Dabuu demands, "a new form of Super Saiyan?"
Jehan looks up, lightning sparking around his eyes. "Super Saiyan? Oh no, this isn't a form of Super Saiyan. This has much more potential than Super Saiyan. I have become something far more dangerous than a Super Saiyan. I have become a Super Warrior!"
