Gohan, deep in the grip of the Rage, eyes Kid Buu with glowing blood-red
eyes. Kid Buu takes a step back mid-air, then turns and run. In a flash,
Gohan is standing in front of him, glaring down at the much smaller
villain. Kid Buu tries to run in another direction, but Gohan stops him
again by appearing in front of him.
Kid Buu panics and fires a ki blast into Gohan face, but Gohan merely grabs the blast and extinguishes it by squeezing it. He then launches his own low- level ki blast, incinerating Kid Buu's lower half with just a flick of the wrist.
~On New Namek~
"Gohan's power is incredible!" Pegaro exclaims, "before, he had to power upt a bit to throw an attack like that."
"But it may have cost him his soul," Videl murmurs, "he feels so. so empty."
Goku, choosing not to ask about how Videl knew that, nods his agreement. "Gohan almost totally lost it against Cell, and from what Krillin tells me, he did lose it almost this bad against Frieza when he thought Frieza had killed Krillin, and again when Frieza was about to kill Piccolo. But Gohan's patience has been tested severely in the last two days. He's gone ballistic, and there's nothing that I can think of that can stop him. I'm not sure if even Gogeta as a Super Saiyan 3 would be able to stop him."
"Gohan has almost reached the level of power that Jehan had as a Super Warrior," Piccolo adds, "he's become incredibly powerful and has almost no control whatsoever. A situation that is beyond dangerous."
"It is," Goku agrees, "I just hope that we can stop him after Buu is destroyed."
"Stop him?" Pegaro demands, "if he's as powerful as Jehan was after he transformed into a Super Warrior, then none of us have a chance at defeating him!"
"I don't know how we can stop him, but I hope we don't have to," Goku says as he watches the crystal ball, "because if we do, we'll definitely be needing the last wish from the Dragon to wish everyone back to life. Though Immortality prior to fighting Gohamn might be a better wish."
This statement alone shocks everyone except Goten, Trunks, Marron, Pegaro, and Videl. Goku actually said that they might need to wish for Immortality? This was completely unexpected. If Goku was willing to wish for Immortality to stop Gohan, then the situation was indeed dire from Goku's normally optimistic point of view when it concerned his older son. And if that was the case, then did the universe stand a chance at survival from a monster far worse than Majin Buu?
~On Earth~
Gohan looks upon his complete inferior with glowing blood-red eyes. The sheer force of his aura was incinerating bits of Majin Buu and corrupting the shape of the monster's body.
"Buu, get ready for oblivion," Gohan says, his voice surprisingly calm ancontrolled.
Gohan crouches midair and powers up. "Ka."
Buu's eyes widen in fear. "Me."
A blue-white ball of energy forms within Gohan's hands at his side. "Ha."
Buu powers up his most powerful attack in the form of a giant ball of energy and prepares to launch it at Gohan." Me."
The ball of light within Gohan's hands radiates pure power as Gohan unleashes the most powerful attack the universe had yet seen. "HAAAA!!!"
Majin Buu launches his energy ball at Gohan with all of his power behind it. The two attacks collide as desperation lends even more power to his own attack while cold fury drives Gohan's Kamehameha into levels thought impossible for anyone to achieve.
The two attacks rip into each other, distorting the air and the local Space- Time Continuum. Down on the ground, Hercule and Bee watch in amazement at the light show befor ethem. Gohan's Kamehameha drives itself into the ball of energy from Majin Buu.
In the end, the two ki blasts cancel each other out and erupt in a vilent explosion that catches Gohan by surprise and knocks him through the air, sending him into the upper atmosphere and high enough to escape gravity.
~On New Namek~
"This is not good," Goku says, "Majin Buu is too strong for even Gohan to handle."
"No, he is not," the Supreme Kai says, "Gohan's power turned on him as he tried to channel it into such a pure attack. The Kamehameha is an attack of pure, untainted energy. Gohan's power, the Rage, is tainted with anger and rage. Trying to use the two together caused the attack to short out and explode. And now Gohan will suffocate unless he regains consciousness."
"Supreme Kai, can you take Kakarott and myself to Earth?" Vegeta asks, "I have an idea."
"What is it Vegeta?" Goku asks, "us Fusing?"
"As if!" Vegeta snorts, "no, it's the Spirit Bomb."
"But that wasn't even able to defeat Frieza!" Krillin protests, "how in the world can the Spirit Bomb beat Majin Buu?"
"Because we won't just be taking a small amount of energy from the people of Earth," Vegeta says, "we'll take as much as we can. And those here on New Namek can help as well."
"It's an idea, but how do we get the people of Earth to surrender their energy?" Goku asks, "nature will do whatever it has to to protect itself, but people have to give up their energy willingly. You guys won't be able to provide enough with the rest of nature."
"But the Kai's can put us in telepathic contact with everyone on Earth," Vegeta replies, "we can speak to them, explain the situation, and then they'll give us their energy."
"But it can't be done!" the Supreme Kai cries out, "telepathic communication of the magnitude just isn't possible."
Um, yo. Hey yo!
"King Kai, is that you?" Goku asks.
No, Goku, it's the Tooth Fairy. Of course it's me! Listen, I can do it. Mass telepathy is my specialty. I can set it up.
"That's great!" Goku says excitedly, "but will be Spirit Bomb have enough power to take down Buu?"
I don't know. Nothing except Cell has ever threatened Earth that was anywhere near as strong as Buu. Vegeta's plan is the best you got now that Gohan's gone and so are Jesse and Zarvon. None of us lesser Kai's, not even the Grand Kai, can locate them. If they were here, then the Spirit Bomb would definitely have enough power without Gohan adding his energy. But with Gohan out of action, then the whole situation is in doubt. But it is our only real option. Gogeta wouldn't be able to beat Buu.
"Very well then," Vegeta says, "I'll distract Buu while one of you speaks to the people of Earth."
"Hey wait, my dad's at the battle site!" Videl says worriedly, "can you bring him back here when you take Goku and Vegeta there, please?"
"Of course," the Supreme Kai says. Goku and Vegeta both lay a hand on one of the Supreme Kai's shoulders and they vanish in an aura of golden light.
~On Earth~
Majin Buu smirks. He had managed to defeat that Saiyan who possessed incredible power. He wasn't sure how, but he had. But what was this? He could detect the energy signal of every person on Earth whom he had killed earlier had returned. How was this possible? Oh well. He'd just be able to kill them again, starting with that man and his dog that were down on the ground.
With an evil smirk, Majin Buu floats down until his face is even with Hercule's. "Peek a boo boo."
With a yell of fight, Hercule scrambles away from Buu. "Stay away from me!"
Buu laughs, then powers up a tiny ki blast in his palm. Just before he unleashes it, a large pink blob rams into him headfirst.
Hercle was dumbfounded. What had just happened. He decides to vocalize his confusion in the most sophisticated manner possiblke. "Huh? Uh, what just happened?"
Hercule looks on to see a sight that completely stupefies him. (A/N: Yes, he's an idiot, but he isn't a baboon. But I am gonna have to make a point not to write my DBZ stories while reading any of the humorous DBZ fics. I develop a desire to wreck Gohan's high school social life and kill Hercule when I do.)
Majin Buu, in his fat form, was fighting the small, kid-like Majin Buu. Kid Buu was tearing Fat Buu apart, but Fat Buu was taking the beating easily and delivering a beating of his own back to his evil counterpart.
"All right Buu!" Hercule cheers. Then, in a flash of gold light, the Supreme Kai, Goku, and Vegeta appear before him.
"What the?!" Hercule yelps as he scrambles back even more.
"Shut up, you idiot," Vegeta snarls, "go with the purple-skinned pipsqueek. He'll take you someplace safe while us real warrior's will take care of the evil Buu."
Hercule was frightened out of his wits. "You two were at the tournament!" He points to Goku. "You won the tournament!"
"Yeah, I did," Goku says, "I've always enjoyed competing in the Tenkaichi Budoukai, ever since I was twelve."
With that, Goku turns to face the two battling Buu's. "Jesse said that the good Buu was on our side, and now I believe him. It must have been the influence of the evil Buu that made him destroy things and kill people. He tried to expel the evil and destroy it, but it was too much for him and he lost and made the evil stronger."
"Kakarott, we need to get this over with," Vegeta says, "the longer the fat one keeps the evil Buu occupied, the more time you'll have to gather energy for the Spirit Bomb. Supreme Kai, get the weakling out of here."
"Of course, Vegeta," the Supreme Kai says as he uses his telekinesis to pick up Hercule and Bee and bring them over to him, "don't worry. This won't hurt, and you'll be with your daughter shortly, sir."
"Wha, Videl?" Hercule manages to say before he, Bee, and the Supreme Kai are teleported away in a golden glowing aura.
"Kakarott, go ahead and start," Vegeta says, "the Fat Buu and I will distract the evil Buu until the Spirit Bomb is ready."
"Got it," Goku says as he flies up high into the air and begins drawing in nature's energy.
Vegeta powers up to an Ascendant Super Saiyan and takes off and dropkicks the evil Buu in the back of his head right as the evil Buu is about to blast the head off of the Fat Buu.
'Anytime now, King Kai,' Goku thinks as the energy ball begins to form above his outstretched arms.
~On New Namek~
"Aaaah! What's going on!" a terrified Hercule screams.
"Its okay daddy," Videl says, trying to comfort her distraught father, "we're among friends."
"Videl, where are we?" Hercule demands, cowering in fear, much to the amusement of the Z Warriors.
"We're on the planet New Namek," Videl replies, "these guys are my friends."
"Your friends?" Hercule asks, then he spots Tien and Piccolo. "Aaah! You! You were at the Cell Games!"
"So was I, but I looked different then," Yamcha says.
"Me too," Krillin says.
"Our dads were at the Cell Games," Trunks says.
"And my big brother beat Cell!" Goten chirps.
At that, Hercule's eyes widen.
"Dad, I do know the truth now," Videl says, "you didn't beat Cell, Gohan did. Gohan's dad fought Cell and died, but now he's alive again. And now they're fighting the evil Buu to save the Earth and the rest of the universe."
"Can they really do that?" Hercule asks.
"They can, daddy," Videl says, "we just brought back everyone Buu has killed in the last few days with some very powerful magic."
"Uh, that's good, right?" Hercule asks.
:"Of course its good, you boob!" Krillin yells, "everyone that's died in the last few days except for the really rotten people have been brought back to life. That means all of your fans are alive again. Now be queit while we take care of some business. Goku needs to prepare for his final attack."
Guys, you need to send your energy to Goku, King Kai tells everyone telepathically, you just need to raise your hands. I need one of you to speak to the people of Earth and convince them to help.
"Dende, you should do it," Krillin says, "you are Earth's Guardian."
"I don't know," Dende says skeptically, "I don't sound like someone with any authority. How about you, Piccolo?"
"It's worth a try," Piccolo replies, "King Kai, open the link."
~On Earth~
People of Earth, Piccolo's voice rings through the heads of everyone on Earth, less than an hour ago, almost every one of you were dead, killed by Majin Buu. This was not a dream. Buu is still alive, but to defeat him we need your help. Raise your hands and offer up some energy that will go into the attack that will destroy this great evil. Just raise even one of your arms to send out the energy we need.
~On New Namek~
Piccolo's voice was greeted by several skeptical voices, which were heard by everyone on New Namek.
Why should we? What is this 'energy'?
The spirits of the Z Fighters fall, even though they all raise their arms to offer up their energy to Goku in forming the Spirit Bomb. The energy gathers and speeds of towards Earth, moving far faster than the speed of light.
Goku, you give it a try, Piccolo tries out telepathically, they may trust the sound of your voice.
~On Earth~
Goku opens his mind, sending out his mental voice to the people of the planet he had been raised on, that he had already died twice to defend and would readily give his life a third time to protect.
People of the Earth, please, help us. We need your help. Majin Buu is not yet defeated. We need your help. We desperately need it! Just raise an arm with the thought of helping us firmly planted in your mind. Please, Majin Buu has already killed almost every one of you once. If we cannot defeat him now, he will do it again! He'll destroy the entire universe if he is not stopped now! If you don't help us your all gonna die!
Dimly, Goku hears the replies of various people on Earth. None of them believed him, nor did they even seem to take him seriously, or believed that they had even died. This was not going well.
In another part of the world, in a village covered in snow, the villagers had gathered in the center of town. A Frankensteinesque being gasps in surprise and turns to a redheaded young woman.
"I know that voice, its Goku!" the being says.
"Eighter, are you sure?" the redheaded woman asks.
"I'm sure of it," the former minion of the Red Ribbon Army, Android Number Eight, now called Eighter thanks to a friend he hadn't seen in years, says excitedly, "I know it is! Come on, lets do as he asks Snow."
"Right," Snow says as she raises her arms up, Soon, the entire village raises their arms, offering up their energy to a friend that they hadn't seen in nearly three decades to save the world.
In another part of the world, an eighteen wheeler slows to a stop and out hops a energetic blue-haired woman.
"That guy sounds really familiar," she muses, "but he sounds really nice! I'll do it!"
She raises her arms and the energy pours out of her. This causes a small tickling sensation in her sinuses and she sneezes. In her place stands a blonde woman wielding a machinegun.
"Oh, whats going on now?" the personality-switching Launch says, "I tell ya, this softer side is always getting me in odd situations. And why do I feel to tired?!"
Below Korin's Tower, a tribe of peace-loving natives look upt o the sky. They can see, in the distance, the orb of light that was forming above Goku, though they knew nothing specific of the events that were going on.
"Father, he sounds familar? Do we know him?" A young man in his early thirties asks his father, the village chieftan. The formidable man had not changed much over the decades since they had met a small and wonderful boy named Goku.
"You should," Bora says, "this scar over my heart reminds me of him every day."
Upa's eyes widen at that. The scar over Bora's heart was from when his own spear had been thrust through him by General Tao of the Red Ribbon Army, killing him. He had been killed defended a boy named Goku. Goku then proceeded to being the second being to climb Korin's Tower, and he did it and completed Korin's training faster than anyone before or since. Goku used the magic Dragon Balls, which he had been searching for to find the one that had belonged to his deceased grandfather, to summon the Eternal Dragon Shenlong and restore Bora back to life. The other villagers and never heard of such an act of kindness or pure, selfless good will. It was a story that they taught their children.
"It's Goku," Upa whispers, "and he needs our help! Lets give it to him!"
With that, Upa adamantly raises his right arm, offering up his energy to help his greatest person he had ever known.
The energy gathers into the Spirit Bomb, slightly increasing its size and power, but its still far from enough.
But its still not enough, and the people of the Earth still ignore the pleas for help
~On New Namek~
Hercule listens to the people of Earth with a look of disgust on his face. Even though he was a skeptic of supernatural forces and the like of the biggest kind, even he had to admit that they existed now, and that there were beings far more powerful than he would ever be. His own daughter had surpassed the level of strength it had taken him his entire life to achieve, and she was only 18. He was proud of her. He always had been. But now his years of declaiming the older arts of fighting, energy attacks like the Kamehameha of the Turtle School or the Dodonpa of the Crane School, it had all poisoned the minds of the Earth's inhabitants.
And now it was too late. The people of Earth were doomed, and so was the rest of the universe.
"Whats wrong with you people?!" Hercule yells out in frustration.
And then, as if by a miracle, one person speaks up.
Hey, that sounded like Hercule.
Everyone's eyes widen in shock as another person voices their thoughts as well.
Hey, it did sound like Hercule!
Hercule looks over at the others from Earth. Their eyes were wide with shock, but then Videl laughs.
"It figures," Videl chuckles, "King Kai, let my dad speak to them. Since the people of Earth worship him so much, if they hear his voice telling them to do it they'd cut off their arms."
Well, it's a little unorthodox, but whatever works. Come on, you big doofus, tell your fans to help!
Hercule gulps and takes a deep breath. He summons up his usual arrogant attitude that was full of an ego unassailable that it overwhelmed his good sense.
"That's right! Your champ is here, fighting the fight against Majin Buu. I didn't wanna proclaim my presence to give these other fighters a chance at the spotlight, but I am here! But these fighters are using a technique that creates an attack far beyond what even I can execute, because Majin Buu is far more powerful than me, so we need your help. They are gathering up the energy into a single orb and are gonna throw it at Buu and use its pure energy to eradicate his evil body."
I don't know how you managed to figure that out, but good work! That's actually the truth. I guess you're not as dumb as you look.
King Kai's remark is projected to everyone on New Namek, and several of the Z Warriors snicker at Hercule's expense.
~On Earth~
Slowly, almost as one, the remaining people of Earth raise their hands to the sky, offering up their energy to save their planet from the greatest threat it has ever known.
The energy quickly reaches the Spirit Bomb and it multiples in size. It goes from being as big as Goku was tall, but now larger than the Spirit Bomb that Goku summoned on Namek tod estroy Frieza. It has far more power though, sinze Goku compresses the energy as best he can as he receives it. His body strains under the pressure of holding up such an awesome force. The Spirit Bomb he had almost created when he first fought Vegeta was nothing compared to this. That Spirit Bomb would have been able to destroy Vegeta. This one would be able to destroy Majin Buu. This one would save not only the Earth, but the entire universe.
'Still not enough,' Goku thinks, 'it needs more energy. Come on, Gohan, I know you're still alive. Come on, son, wake up and add your energy to the Spirit Bomb'
~On New Namek~
The Z Warriors cheer as they see the energy of the Spirit Bomb increase. Videl gives her father a hug.
"You did it!" Krillin cheers, "I don't believe it. I guess this makes up for you stealing Gohan's glory for defeating Cell seven years ago."
"Gohan said he didn't want it," Pegaro says, "but he wouldn't have wanted Hercule to get so caught up in the fame."
"He wouldn't have if he hadn't been grieving over Goku's death," Chichi says sadly, "he perked up considerably when he learned that I was pregnant with Goten. I did too."
"I'm sorry if I made your lives uncomfortable," Hercule apologizes.
"I think the only thing that made Gohan uncomfortable was going to school with Videl," Pegaro tells Hercule, "he didn't want to ruin her illusions of you."
"You're the guy who beat me at the tournament," Hercule comments.
"I got lucky," Pegaro says, "if I had fought you the way you were seven years ago, I would've lost. You took your opponents seriously before winning the tournament."
"What are you talking about?" Hercule demands.
"You would've won if you had taken me seriously from the start," Pegaro replies, "you are a very talented martial artist and are easily above normal human limitations."
"You know, this is the second time the big doofus has helped us with an assist," Yamcha chuckles, "he threw Android Sixteen's head and Sixteen was able to talk Gohan into letting go and let his hidden power surface."
"It was more than that," Piccolo says, "when Cell stepped on Sixteen's head, that was the final straw. That is what pushed Gohan over the edge and enabled him to reach the power of an Ascendant Super Saiyan. Still, Hercule did help. Now we just have to see if the power of the Spirit Bomb is enough."
"It has to be," the Supreme Kai says, "it just has to be. Nothing else even has a chance of defeating Majin Buu."
"Nothing, you say?" Piccolo asks, "if Goku and Vegeta both trained hard for a few weeks, with Dende to heal them after every training session, they could defeat Majin Buu by Fusing into Gogeta. Especially if they're combined training can enable Gogeta to transform into a Super Saiyan 3."
"I'm surprised that they aren't able to do it now," Krillin says, "after all, Gogeta was able to equal Dabuu, and Buu is nowhere near as powerful as Dabuu."
"Majin Buu is in his original form, and true power," the Supreme Kai says, "Gohan is the only other singular being who has ever come close to equaling his power."
"And now Gohan's gone," Goten whimpers.
"No, he's not dead," the Old Kai says, "in fact, his sheer aura of power was so grea tthat he created a small atmosphere around him when he was thrown out into space, though I'm sure he unconsciously picked up the technique when he was Fused with Jesse.But if he doesn't get back into Earth's atmosphere soon, he will die."
"If he gets back in time he can destroy Buu!" Krillin exclaims.
"He can't," the Old Kai says, "he's lost that Rage and it would be difficult to beat Buu now. But he can add his energy to the Spirit Bomb and that would definitely give it enough power to destroy Buu."
~In space around Earth~
A large white glow was heading towards Earth. Inside it was the current most powerful being in the universe. Majin Buu had managed to get the drop on him, but it would not happen again. He had lost all of the anger and rage just trying to maintain the barrier. He wasn't sure how he had managed it, but he was glad he had. Somehow the barrier had managed to not only keep oxygen in and let in the rare oxygen in space and let out anything his body couldn't breath, but it also blocked the ultraviolet light of the sun and kept him from being flash-boiled instantly. And yet it still allowed enough heat in to keep the sheer coldness of space from freezing him solid.
"Hang on dad," Gohan says as he flies at top speed for Earth as he senses his dad and Vegeta there, "I'll be there soon."
In the distance, the largest and most powerful Spirit Bomb ever created can be seen from outer space a good distance from Earth.
"Hang on dad," Gohan says softly as he comes to a stop, "if you need my energy for the Spirit bomb, I'll gladly give it."
With that, Gohan aims his right hand at the Spirit Bomb and lets go, sending his energy to his father for the ultimate weapon against evil.
As the energy leaves him, he can sense the barrier around him begin to flicker.
'So, this is it,' Gohan thinks, 'after all of this, after all the power I have obtained, I die here in space because I gave too much energy.'
Gohan closes his eyes as he accepts his fate, knowing that he will not stay dead long, for Earth's Dragon Balls could still bring him back.
~On Earth~
'Gohan's sending his energy!' Goku realizes as he feels almost as much power as he was already holding fill the Spirit Bomb and doubling its size. He has to transform into a Super Saiyan 3 just to contain it! With a smile, Goku knows for sure that the Spirit Bomb has enough power to annihilate the evil Buu.
"Vegeta, get out of the way!" Goku screams as he prepares to unleash the Spirit Bomb.
~On New Namek~
"That idiot!" the Old Kai yells, "he can't give that much energy! He won't be able to keep the barrier up and make it to Earth in time!"
"He what?!" Chichi screams, causing all of the Nameks to clap their hands to their ears in pain.
"He transmitted his energy to Goku from space," the Old Kai explains, "but he's given too much. He can't maintain the barrier that is keeping him alive in space. He'll die."
"Wait, what about Porunga?" Dende asks, "Porunga can send Gohan anywhere!"
"That's right!" Piccolo exclaims, "Porunga can bring Gohan here or send him to Earth!"
"Porunga, can you bring the one known as Son Gohan here to New Namek?" Dende asks the Eternal Dragon of Namek.
"I CAN,' Porunga replies, "IS THIS YOUR WISH?"
"It is, mighty Porunga!" Dende calls out.
Porunga's eyes flash red. Gohan is transported from space to right in front of them. "IT HAS BEEN DONE. I HAVE GRANTED THREE WISHES. THE DRAGON BALLS WILL REMAIN DORMANT FOR ONE NAMEKIAN YEAR. FAREWELL."
With that, Porunga vanishes in a flash of gold light and the Namekian Dragon Balls flash gold, then transform into ordinary stones.
"You know, that has gotta be handy," Krillin says, "Dende, you really shoulda done that for Earth's set."
"No one thought of it," Dende replies, "you were all more focused on getting more wishes per summoning."
"Um, someone mind explaining to me how I got here on Namek?" Gohan asks as he get sup.
"GOHAN!" Videl, Chichi, and Goten yell as they rush towards the demi- Saiyan.
"Hey, easy!" Gohan exclaims as the three hug him tight, "how did I get here?"
"Porunga, of course," Chichi replies, "we used the third wish to save your life by bringing you here."
"You know, we could have possibly used the wish to give him his energy back," the Old Kai says, "then he could have made it to Earth and be there to take on Majin Buu in case things went wrong."
"Well, whats done is done," Dende says, moving over to Gohan and placing a hand inches away from his friends chest. A golden glow surrounds Gohan as Dende heals him of his wounds and restores his energy. A minute later, Gohan is as good as new, and a little bit stronger to boot. His maximum power level had increased enough that he could use only the amount of the new strength and take on Tien, Yamcha, and Krillin in a spar and beat them soundly.
"How is the battle on Earth going?" Gohan asks.
"Your father has the Spirit Bomb ready, but Vegeta and the good Buu need to get out of the way first," Piccolo says.
"The GOOD Buu?" Gohan asks.
Trunks gives Gohan a quick explanation.
"And Mr. Jesse said that we could trust him!" Goten adds when Trunks was finished, "he said he was as good as the Buu dad fought is bad."
"Jesse may have kept to himself a lot, but he was a good judge of character," Pegaro says, "probably because of his psychic abilities."
"And now Jesse and Zarvon are gone," Gohan says, shutting his eyes, "can the Dragon bring them back?"
"They are beyond Porunga's reach," Muri says, "it is most unfortunate, but even Porunga has no control over rips in Space/Time. He wouldn't have even been able to close them. Jesse may have saved everyone in existence. Not just here, but in other dimensions as well."
"He went out a lot like dad did at the Cell Games," Gohan says sadly, "a hero to the end."
"I don't think Jesse would've stood by at all and let people come to harm if he could stop it," Pegaro says, "don't you remember how honorable he was? I recall him saying at one time that the most honorable thing a person can do is to help others. Whether it is saving a life or putting your own life on the line to keep harm from them, or even just helping them with a tough job, there is nothing more honorable than helping others. That's why he always showed Videl so much respect after he learned that she helped the Satan City Police Department."
"I thought he was just afraid of her," Gohan chuckles. Videl whaps him in the back of the head.
"That to," Pegaro says, then ducks as Videl tries to hit him as well. "Take some anger management, Videl! Sheesh!"
"Pegaro you should have learned by now that Videl can have a very short temper," Gohan laughs as he watches Videl chase his friend.
"Hey look, Goku's about to launch the Spirit Bomb!" Krillin says as he glances at the crystal ball.
~On Earth~
'Come on, Vegeta, get out of the way!' Goku thinks fiercely as he watches the good Buu and Vegeta fight the evil Buu and lose.
The two champions of good were doing their absolute best against the mighty evil, but it was just too powerful. The good Buu was stronger and more durable than Vegeta, but he was an inferior fighter. Vegeta had great talent as a fighter, but his strength was vastly inferior to that of the two Buu's. Meanwhile, the evil Buu was an exceptional fighter and was even more durable than the good Buu.
"Vegeta, Buu, get out of the way!" Goku yells as he struggles to contain the power of the Spirit Bomb. If he lost control of it, it would completely obliterate the Earth and everyone on it, including the evil Buu. The evil would be destroyed, but so would everyone on Earth and they would have to wait at least 130 days until they could bring everything and everyone back.
Vegeta could hear his fellow Saiyan warrior call out his name, as well as the rest of what he said. It was do or die time. Delivering a kick to the evil buu's face that turns his head around, Vegeta grabs the good Buu and takes off.
But with turning the evil Buu's head around, they also turn it so that he is facing the Spirit Bomb. The evil Buu's eyes widen in fear as he realizes that he is about to die as Goku throws his arms down, launching what could easily be the most powerful attack ever used.
Like a dreadful behemoth, the Spirit Bomb lurches forward towards the evil Buu. Implacable in its movements, it has only one purpose: to stop the most evil being in history.
The evil Buu summons up his power and attempts to stop the Spirit Bomb and drive it back. His energy blasts have absolutely no effect as he pelts the oncoming Spirit bomb with his most powerful attacks. Instead of even slowing the Spirit Bomb down, the blasts just shatter helplessly against it.
Finally, the evil Buu tries to push the Spirit Bomb back with his bare hands. Big mistake. Just touching the Spirit Bomb fills him with an incredible amount of pain as the purity of the Spirit Bomb clashes with the evil of Majin Buu.
Energy crackles around the evil Buu's palms as he tries to push back the Spirit Bomb, but it is no use. Relentless in its task, the Spirit Bomb pushes onward until finally it envelops the Evil Buu.
'Farewell, Majin Buu,' Goku thinks, 'I wish we had another chance to fight, but without the fate of the universe at stake. That'd be some fight.'
In a brilliant flash of light, the Spirit Bomb explodes, destroying the evil Buu once and for all.
~In Otherworld~
"He did it!" King Yemma cheers, "Goku did it!"
"Yes, and now you have to deal with Buu," Baba says.
Great King Yemma pales into a light pink.
"Yes, you, big guy," Baba says, "you have to try and confine the greatest evil. I don't think sending him to Heaven will accomplish anything except for the destruction of Heaven. And I don't think the Yemma Lock will help either."
"Your right," King Yemma replies, some of his color returning to his face, "but Goku expressed a desire to fight him again, without the fate of the universe hanging in the balance."
"That he did," Baba says, "but how are you gonna accomplish that?"
"Same way I sent Goku's grandfather back to the living world the second time: reincarnate him," King Yemma replies, "Goku's grandfather became his eldest son, and now his greatest foe will likely become his first real student in a decade or so."
"And how are you gonna take care of that?" Baba asks.
Great King Yemma grins. "Simple. There's a nice family in some of the outer islands that has been longing for a son for years, but has never gotten one. They're a real good family and if Majin Buu is raised by them in the formative years, and then taken under Goku's wing, he'll likely become Earth's next defender. The strength that was Majin Buu will be lessened since he'll be in a fully human body, but he'll have more strength than any other human to ever live, including Olibu and Jesse."
"Very good plan," Baba approves, "now, is there anything you can do about Jesse and Zarvon?"
"Unfortunately, no," King Yemma replies, "they're out of the reach of anyone or anything. You can't find them?"
"Nope," Baba replies, "and I'm gonna have to tell Gohan that, too. You just know that my perverted brother will think of coming and asking me."
"Well Baba, you can go back to Earth now," King Yemma says, "I can deal with Buu now that he's under my jurisdiction."
"Just don't get over your head," Baba chides, "you wouldn't want him loose in Heaven or Hell."
"That's for sure," King Yemma mutters as Baba floats away and his ogres bring the struggling Majin Buu in for his judgment.
King Yemma cracks his knuckles. "Time to go to work.
~On New Namek~
"He did it!" the Supreme Kai exclaims, "Goku defeated Majin Buu! I don't believe it!"
"Of course he did it," Krillin says, "Goku always comes through for us. He may sometimes lose, but he always comes back stronger than ever."
"Don't we need to take you to Earth?" Kabito asks Piccolo.
"Please," Piccolo says, "I do enjoy being on Namek, but Earth is my home."
"That's okay," Muri says, "if you ever wanna come by for a visit, feel free to stop by. You are the only Namek not born on Namek. You are also the strongest Namekian warrior to ever live, unless Goku has met some in Otherworld."
"He is the strongest," the Supreme Kai says, "the strongest Namek currently in Otherworld is called Slug, and he's not even half as strong as Piccolo is."
"Can we go home now?" Goten asks.
"Of course, "the Supreme Kai says, "everyone, gather close by and I will teleport us all to Earth."
Everyone gathers close to the Supreme Kai. A golden aura envelopes the humans, demi-Saiyans, and two Nameks and they then vanish.
~On Earth, the battle site~
"Well Vegeta, we did it," Goku says to his fellow Saiyan, "we beat the evil Buu. We saved the Earth."
"You did most of the work, Kakarott," Vegeta says, "you're the only one in the universe who can create a Spirit Bomb."
"Thanks, Vegeta," Goku says, "but it was your plan."
In a flash of golden light, all of their friends and family are there.
"Dad, you did it!" Gohan cheers as he runs up and gives his father a hug. Goten and Chichi rush to do the same.
"Hey dad, you were so cool!" Trunks says as he runs up to his dad, adoration in his eyes.
"Buu, you're alive!" Hercule says as he runs up to his large pink friend with Bee close behind him.
"What are we gonna do with him?" Piccolo asks the Supreme Kai, indicating Buu.
"Well, he's a personification of the goodness that was the South Supreme Kai and the Dai Kaio that the evil Majin Buu absorbed," the Supreme Kai replies, "I see no reason why he shouldn't be allowed to do what he wishes as long as he doesn't going around destroying stuff."
"Aren't you forgetting that people don't know about the split and everything?" Pegaro asks, "when they see Buu, they'll think he's come to kill them again."
"That problems easy to solve," Yamcha chuckles, "we still have two whole wishes with Earth's Dragon Balls. One wish should take care of their memories. Don't know what to do about the second wish though."
"We can just save the wish," Dende says, "the Dragon Balls will go inert for four months if we only use one wish."
"That's great!" Yamcha cheers, "I'm glad you put it in when you remade the Dragon Balls."
"Actually, it was already there," Dende replies, "apparently, Kami had put that in, not knowing about it. He could have taken the model of the Dragon and empowered the Dragon Balls further after he ascended the Throne of Kami. Had he done that, I could have boosted the Dragons strength a little more, giving it three wishes of equal strength. I couldn't do anything about the inability of Shenlong to bring back someone who's already been killed, but there are things that you can't help. I could make a set of Dragon Balls that had only one wish that could bring someone back more than once, but that'll reduce the power of the other Dragon Balls. And Piccolo just isn't interested in learning how to make them properly."
"Hey, instead of making people forget about Majin Buu being evil, why not replace the images of him in their memories with his true form?" Goku asks, "that way they won't forget anything."
"Kakarot, you are smarter than I give you credit for," Vegeta snorts.
At that moment, Goku's stomach rumbles. "I guess I'm hungry. I haven't had a real good home cooked meal in seven years!"
Vegeta shakes his head. "And some things will never change. Kakarot, how can you be ruled by your stomach?!"
"Aren't all Saiyans like that?" Bulma asks, "as I recall, we spend thousands, if not millions a year feeding you and Trunks."
"We have healthy appetites for Saiyan warriors," Vegeta replies, "but Kakarot has an even bigger appetite than necessary."
"What can I say, I just like to eat," Goku says with his classic grin that he had passed on to his sons.
"Well, can we go on and get the Dragon Balls and clear up this mess?" Bulma asks, "there's a lot of damage from the evil Buu's attacks and we could use the Dragon Balls to fix it all up."
"The three of us should be going," the Supreme Kai says as he, the Old Kai, and Kibito gather together, "I thank you all for helping to end the threat of Majin Buu once and for all."
"Hey, Supreme Kai, we're probably gonna be having a victory party before long," Goku says, "why don't you three come and join us? It'll be great!"
"I really don't think that it would be wise," Kibito says.
"We'll come!" the Old Kai says, "I wanna have some fun! We Kai's are so serious all of the time that we lose sight of why we must look out for the universe. This party may give you a very different outlook on mortals, Kibito. Besides, I've been stuck inside the Z Sword for millennia! I wanna have some fun!"
"Just have someone contact the North Kai and have him relay the information to us," the Supreme Kai says, "and we'll do everything we possibly can to find Jesse and Zarvon. If anyone can find them, the three of us can."
With that, the three Kai's teleport out in a blaze of golden aura's.
~~
I know, I know. I'm following the show very closely, but I got my reasons. For one thing, the Spirit Bomb is the ultimate attack. Energy waves can be dodged, but a Spirit Bomb as big as that one was can't be dodged, even by someone like Buu. And now Buu has been weakened, but I think blasting him with the Spirit Bomb is preferable to incinerating him with a Kamehameha. The pure, good energy of the Spirit Bomb obliterated the evil energy of the evil Buu. That and its just plain cool.
Also, it takes quite a bit to get in a DBZ writing mood. Toonami has been airing the Frieza Saga again, which is cool. I love the speech Goku gives Frieza after turning into a Super Saiyan. I would have used the dialogue from the actual episodes that include Goku using the Spirit Bomb on Buu, but I don't have them recorded and I can't locate a store nearby that sells the videos. DVDs, I can find, but I don't own a DVD player and my computer won't run them. Still, I do like what I've come up with. I'm hoping that in the course of airing these older episodes of DBZ that they air them all again, including the Future Trunks Saga and the Saiyaman Saga in particular. The Afterlife Tournament Saga would be great to see again as well. I don't know why, but I just love the Saiyaman Saga. So many fanfics rewrite it or deal with that time period, though they ignore Saiyadork. Not that I blame them.
Also, there are some questions, like the Smooster's question about Jesse's sword, that will be answered in the sequel or as this fic continues. For one thing, I gotta come up with the answers. And Smooster, Zarvon going up to the Golden Oozaru was to fill a plot hole. Poor writing ability on my part, but I just couldn't figure out a way to do it. I did think of tossing him into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, but I only thought of it just now.
And nothing gets me into the mood to write DBZ fanfics like reading them! My favorites are below.
The Return by The Smooster Storyid: 479303
Summary: Set 400 years after the end of Dragon Ball GT, a descendant of both Goku and Vegeta meets a proud young woman and learns what it means to be great.
My opinions: Quite possibly the best thing I have ever read, be it fanfic, published literary work, or comic. The Smooster is a talented author who definitely knows how to write good action scenes. Every chapter is very long, one average as long as my last chapter. A lot of original ideas pervade his writing style, but the way he blends it in makes it totally believable. It will definitely take you a while to read the entire 52 chapters that are up at this moment, but it'll be worth it. I read the first forty or so chapters in one sitting. It captivated me that much. No other fanfic has been able to do this except for B Diddy's Dragon Ball Generations. Even if you don't read it all at once (an it took me nearly five hours to do it) you'll still enjoy reading it, even if you only read a chapter or two a day.
Anything written by B Diddy Userid: 42947 About: Everything this guy writes is top notch. From his original Dragon Ball Generations Series to After GT: A Trunks and Pan Tale to the new version of DBG titled Generations, all of B Diddy's, also known as Brandon B, work is exceptional and top class. You'll definitely like anything this guy writes if you like what I write.
Law and Disorder by CCS AnGeL00 Storyid: 951317
Summary: [GohanVidel, AU] In an alternate universe where Satan Videl is a detective for the Satan City Police department, she's forced to learn the meaning of "partnership" when detective Son Gohan enters her life.
My opinion: An excellent work or literary genius. CCS AnGeL00 has written an excellent alternate universe that has the entire Z Gang as members of law enforcement. From District Attorney Vegeta, police captain Son Goku, the "Prosecuting Pair" of Bulma and Krillin, computer genius and gadget guy Trunks, forensic analyst Sharpner, Mr. Satan the mayor, Goten the lady killer (in his dreams, maybe. Even I can come up with better pick-up lines), and Yajirobe and Yamcha as your run of the mill streetwise cops. An excellent piece of work. Not many chapters out, but each one is worth reading and each new update is well worth it. Wait till you see the Halloween party. It's to die for.
Some Dreams do Come True by Boombubble Storyid: 581760
Summary: After being lured onto the spaceship of the evil space pirate Kashunari, the Z Fighters return home to the Earth completely devastated. Not to mention inadvertently releasing the fabled Majin Buu in the process.
My opinions: An excellent work. The use of psychic power is very innovative and gave me the idea for some of Jesse's attacks. I think it might be a somewhat crossover, but I'm not sure. It is complete and very cool.
Next up: You'll find out what happens next, including where Jesse and Zarvon ended up. I honestly don't know if you can figure it out. I plan on being a little vague. It can be figured out, though. Well, please review and tell me whether you want a continuation or a sequel. So far, I think I've only gotten votes for doing a sequel. Still haven't thought up a name for a sequel if it turns out that that is what I'll be writing.
Kid Buu panics and fires a ki blast into Gohan face, but Gohan merely grabs the blast and extinguishes it by squeezing it. He then launches his own low- level ki blast, incinerating Kid Buu's lower half with just a flick of the wrist.
~On New Namek~
"Gohan's power is incredible!" Pegaro exclaims, "before, he had to power upt a bit to throw an attack like that."
"But it may have cost him his soul," Videl murmurs, "he feels so. so empty."
Goku, choosing not to ask about how Videl knew that, nods his agreement. "Gohan almost totally lost it against Cell, and from what Krillin tells me, he did lose it almost this bad against Frieza when he thought Frieza had killed Krillin, and again when Frieza was about to kill Piccolo. But Gohan's patience has been tested severely in the last two days. He's gone ballistic, and there's nothing that I can think of that can stop him. I'm not sure if even Gogeta as a Super Saiyan 3 would be able to stop him."
"Gohan has almost reached the level of power that Jehan had as a Super Warrior," Piccolo adds, "he's become incredibly powerful and has almost no control whatsoever. A situation that is beyond dangerous."
"It is," Goku agrees, "I just hope that we can stop him after Buu is destroyed."
"Stop him?" Pegaro demands, "if he's as powerful as Jehan was after he transformed into a Super Warrior, then none of us have a chance at defeating him!"
"I don't know how we can stop him, but I hope we don't have to," Goku says as he watches the crystal ball, "because if we do, we'll definitely be needing the last wish from the Dragon to wish everyone back to life. Though Immortality prior to fighting Gohamn might be a better wish."
This statement alone shocks everyone except Goten, Trunks, Marron, Pegaro, and Videl. Goku actually said that they might need to wish for Immortality? This was completely unexpected. If Goku was willing to wish for Immortality to stop Gohan, then the situation was indeed dire from Goku's normally optimistic point of view when it concerned his older son. And if that was the case, then did the universe stand a chance at survival from a monster far worse than Majin Buu?
~On Earth~
Gohan looks upon his complete inferior with glowing blood-red eyes. The sheer force of his aura was incinerating bits of Majin Buu and corrupting the shape of the monster's body.
"Buu, get ready for oblivion," Gohan says, his voice surprisingly calm ancontrolled.
Gohan crouches midair and powers up. "Ka."
Buu's eyes widen in fear. "Me."
A blue-white ball of energy forms within Gohan's hands at his side. "Ha."
Buu powers up his most powerful attack in the form of a giant ball of energy and prepares to launch it at Gohan." Me."
The ball of light within Gohan's hands radiates pure power as Gohan unleashes the most powerful attack the universe had yet seen. "HAAAA!!!"
Majin Buu launches his energy ball at Gohan with all of his power behind it. The two attacks collide as desperation lends even more power to his own attack while cold fury drives Gohan's Kamehameha into levels thought impossible for anyone to achieve.
The two attacks rip into each other, distorting the air and the local Space- Time Continuum. Down on the ground, Hercule and Bee watch in amazement at the light show befor ethem. Gohan's Kamehameha drives itself into the ball of energy from Majin Buu.
In the end, the two ki blasts cancel each other out and erupt in a vilent explosion that catches Gohan by surprise and knocks him through the air, sending him into the upper atmosphere and high enough to escape gravity.
~On New Namek~
"This is not good," Goku says, "Majin Buu is too strong for even Gohan to handle."
"No, he is not," the Supreme Kai says, "Gohan's power turned on him as he tried to channel it into such a pure attack. The Kamehameha is an attack of pure, untainted energy. Gohan's power, the Rage, is tainted with anger and rage. Trying to use the two together caused the attack to short out and explode. And now Gohan will suffocate unless he regains consciousness."
"Supreme Kai, can you take Kakarott and myself to Earth?" Vegeta asks, "I have an idea."
"What is it Vegeta?" Goku asks, "us Fusing?"
"As if!" Vegeta snorts, "no, it's the Spirit Bomb."
"But that wasn't even able to defeat Frieza!" Krillin protests, "how in the world can the Spirit Bomb beat Majin Buu?"
"Because we won't just be taking a small amount of energy from the people of Earth," Vegeta says, "we'll take as much as we can. And those here on New Namek can help as well."
"It's an idea, but how do we get the people of Earth to surrender their energy?" Goku asks, "nature will do whatever it has to to protect itself, but people have to give up their energy willingly. You guys won't be able to provide enough with the rest of nature."
"But the Kai's can put us in telepathic contact with everyone on Earth," Vegeta replies, "we can speak to them, explain the situation, and then they'll give us their energy."
"But it can't be done!" the Supreme Kai cries out, "telepathic communication of the magnitude just isn't possible."
Um, yo. Hey yo!
"King Kai, is that you?" Goku asks.
No, Goku, it's the Tooth Fairy. Of course it's me! Listen, I can do it. Mass telepathy is my specialty. I can set it up.
"That's great!" Goku says excitedly, "but will be Spirit Bomb have enough power to take down Buu?"
I don't know. Nothing except Cell has ever threatened Earth that was anywhere near as strong as Buu. Vegeta's plan is the best you got now that Gohan's gone and so are Jesse and Zarvon. None of us lesser Kai's, not even the Grand Kai, can locate them. If they were here, then the Spirit Bomb would definitely have enough power without Gohan adding his energy. But with Gohan out of action, then the whole situation is in doubt. But it is our only real option. Gogeta wouldn't be able to beat Buu.
"Very well then," Vegeta says, "I'll distract Buu while one of you speaks to the people of Earth."
"Hey wait, my dad's at the battle site!" Videl says worriedly, "can you bring him back here when you take Goku and Vegeta there, please?"
"Of course," the Supreme Kai says. Goku and Vegeta both lay a hand on one of the Supreme Kai's shoulders and they vanish in an aura of golden light.
~On Earth~
Majin Buu smirks. He had managed to defeat that Saiyan who possessed incredible power. He wasn't sure how, but he had. But what was this? He could detect the energy signal of every person on Earth whom he had killed earlier had returned. How was this possible? Oh well. He'd just be able to kill them again, starting with that man and his dog that were down on the ground.
With an evil smirk, Majin Buu floats down until his face is even with Hercule's. "Peek a boo boo."
With a yell of fight, Hercule scrambles away from Buu. "Stay away from me!"
Buu laughs, then powers up a tiny ki blast in his palm. Just before he unleashes it, a large pink blob rams into him headfirst.
Hercle was dumbfounded. What had just happened. He decides to vocalize his confusion in the most sophisticated manner possiblke. "Huh? Uh, what just happened?"
Hercule looks on to see a sight that completely stupefies him. (A/N: Yes, he's an idiot, but he isn't a baboon. But I am gonna have to make a point not to write my DBZ stories while reading any of the humorous DBZ fics. I develop a desire to wreck Gohan's high school social life and kill Hercule when I do.)
Majin Buu, in his fat form, was fighting the small, kid-like Majin Buu. Kid Buu was tearing Fat Buu apart, but Fat Buu was taking the beating easily and delivering a beating of his own back to his evil counterpart.
"All right Buu!" Hercule cheers. Then, in a flash of gold light, the Supreme Kai, Goku, and Vegeta appear before him.
"What the?!" Hercule yelps as he scrambles back even more.
"Shut up, you idiot," Vegeta snarls, "go with the purple-skinned pipsqueek. He'll take you someplace safe while us real warrior's will take care of the evil Buu."
Hercule was frightened out of his wits. "You two were at the tournament!" He points to Goku. "You won the tournament!"
"Yeah, I did," Goku says, "I've always enjoyed competing in the Tenkaichi Budoukai, ever since I was twelve."
With that, Goku turns to face the two battling Buu's. "Jesse said that the good Buu was on our side, and now I believe him. It must have been the influence of the evil Buu that made him destroy things and kill people. He tried to expel the evil and destroy it, but it was too much for him and he lost and made the evil stronger."
"Kakarott, we need to get this over with," Vegeta says, "the longer the fat one keeps the evil Buu occupied, the more time you'll have to gather energy for the Spirit Bomb. Supreme Kai, get the weakling out of here."
"Of course, Vegeta," the Supreme Kai says as he uses his telekinesis to pick up Hercule and Bee and bring them over to him, "don't worry. This won't hurt, and you'll be with your daughter shortly, sir."
"Wha, Videl?" Hercule manages to say before he, Bee, and the Supreme Kai are teleported away in a golden glowing aura.
"Kakarott, go ahead and start," Vegeta says, "the Fat Buu and I will distract the evil Buu until the Spirit Bomb is ready."
"Got it," Goku says as he flies up high into the air and begins drawing in nature's energy.
Vegeta powers up to an Ascendant Super Saiyan and takes off and dropkicks the evil Buu in the back of his head right as the evil Buu is about to blast the head off of the Fat Buu.
'Anytime now, King Kai,' Goku thinks as the energy ball begins to form above his outstretched arms.
~On New Namek~
"Aaaah! What's going on!" a terrified Hercule screams.
"Its okay daddy," Videl says, trying to comfort her distraught father, "we're among friends."
"Videl, where are we?" Hercule demands, cowering in fear, much to the amusement of the Z Warriors.
"We're on the planet New Namek," Videl replies, "these guys are my friends."
"Your friends?" Hercule asks, then he spots Tien and Piccolo. "Aaah! You! You were at the Cell Games!"
"So was I, but I looked different then," Yamcha says.
"Me too," Krillin says.
"Our dads were at the Cell Games," Trunks says.
"And my big brother beat Cell!" Goten chirps.
At that, Hercule's eyes widen.
"Dad, I do know the truth now," Videl says, "you didn't beat Cell, Gohan did. Gohan's dad fought Cell and died, but now he's alive again. And now they're fighting the evil Buu to save the Earth and the rest of the universe."
"Can they really do that?" Hercule asks.
"They can, daddy," Videl says, "we just brought back everyone Buu has killed in the last few days with some very powerful magic."
"Uh, that's good, right?" Hercule asks.
:"Of course its good, you boob!" Krillin yells, "everyone that's died in the last few days except for the really rotten people have been brought back to life. That means all of your fans are alive again. Now be queit while we take care of some business. Goku needs to prepare for his final attack."
Guys, you need to send your energy to Goku, King Kai tells everyone telepathically, you just need to raise your hands. I need one of you to speak to the people of Earth and convince them to help.
"Dende, you should do it," Krillin says, "you are Earth's Guardian."
"I don't know," Dende says skeptically, "I don't sound like someone with any authority. How about you, Piccolo?"
"It's worth a try," Piccolo replies, "King Kai, open the link."
~On Earth~
People of Earth, Piccolo's voice rings through the heads of everyone on Earth, less than an hour ago, almost every one of you were dead, killed by Majin Buu. This was not a dream. Buu is still alive, but to defeat him we need your help. Raise your hands and offer up some energy that will go into the attack that will destroy this great evil. Just raise even one of your arms to send out the energy we need.
~On New Namek~
Piccolo's voice was greeted by several skeptical voices, which were heard by everyone on New Namek.
Why should we? What is this 'energy'?
The spirits of the Z Fighters fall, even though they all raise their arms to offer up their energy to Goku in forming the Spirit Bomb. The energy gathers and speeds of towards Earth, moving far faster than the speed of light.
Goku, you give it a try, Piccolo tries out telepathically, they may trust the sound of your voice.
~On Earth~
Goku opens his mind, sending out his mental voice to the people of the planet he had been raised on, that he had already died twice to defend and would readily give his life a third time to protect.
People of the Earth, please, help us. We need your help. Majin Buu is not yet defeated. We need your help. We desperately need it! Just raise an arm with the thought of helping us firmly planted in your mind. Please, Majin Buu has already killed almost every one of you once. If we cannot defeat him now, he will do it again! He'll destroy the entire universe if he is not stopped now! If you don't help us your all gonna die!
Dimly, Goku hears the replies of various people on Earth. None of them believed him, nor did they even seem to take him seriously, or believed that they had even died. This was not going well.
In another part of the world, in a village covered in snow, the villagers had gathered in the center of town. A Frankensteinesque being gasps in surprise and turns to a redheaded young woman.
"I know that voice, its Goku!" the being says.
"Eighter, are you sure?" the redheaded woman asks.
"I'm sure of it," the former minion of the Red Ribbon Army, Android Number Eight, now called Eighter thanks to a friend he hadn't seen in years, says excitedly, "I know it is! Come on, lets do as he asks Snow."
"Right," Snow says as she raises her arms up, Soon, the entire village raises their arms, offering up their energy to a friend that they hadn't seen in nearly three decades to save the world.
In another part of the world, an eighteen wheeler slows to a stop and out hops a energetic blue-haired woman.
"That guy sounds really familiar," she muses, "but he sounds really nice! I'll do it!"
She raises her arms and the energy pours out of her. This causes a small tickling sensation in her sinuses and she sneezes. In her place stands a blonde woman wielding a machinegun.
"Oh, whats going on now?" the personality-switching Launch says, "I tell ya, this softer side is always getting me in odd situations. And why do I feel to tired?!"
Below Korin's Tower, a tribe of peace-loving natives look upt o the sky. They can see, in the distance, the orb of light that was forming above Goku, though they knew nothing specific of the events that were going on.
"Father, he sounds familar? Do we know him?" A young man in his early thirties asks his father, the village chieftan. The formidable man had not changed much over the decades since they had met a small and wonderful boy named Goku.
"You should," Bora says, "this scar over my heart reminds me of him every day."
Upa's eyes widen at that. The scar over Bora's heart was from when his own spear had been thrust through him by General Tao of the Red Ribbon Army, killing him. He had been killed defended a boy named Goku. Goku then proceeded to being the second being to climb Korin's Tower, and he did it and completed Korin's training faster than anyone before or since. Goku used the magic Dragon Balls, which he had been searching for to find the one that had belonged to his deceased grandfather, to summon the Eternal Dragon Shenlong and restore Bora back to life. The other villagers and never heard of such an act of kindness or pure, selfless good will. It was a story that they taught their children.
"It's Goku," Upa whispers, "and he needs our help! Lets give it to him!"
With that, Upa adamantly raises his right arm, offering up his energy to help his greatest person he had ever known.
The energy gathers into the Spirit Bomb, slightly increasing its size and power, but its still far from enough.
But its still not enough, and the people of the Earth still ignore the pleas for help
~On New Namek~
Hercule listens to the people of Earth with a look of disgust on his face. Even though he was a skeptic of supernatural forces and the like of the biggest kind, even he had to admit that they existed now, and that there were beings far more powerful than he would ever be. His own daughter had surpassed the level of strength it had taken him his entire life to achieve, and she was only 18. He was proud of her. He always had been. But now his years of declaiming the older arts of fighting, energy attacks like the Kamehameha of the Turtle School or the Dodonpa of the Crane School, it had all poisoned the minds of the Earth's inhabitants.
And now it was too late. The people of Earth were doomed, and so was the rest of the universe.
"Whats wrong with you people?!" Hercule yells out in frustration.
And then, as if by a miracle, one person speaks up.
Hey, that sounded like Hercule.
Everyone's eyes widen in shock as another person voices their thoughts as well.
Hey, it did sound like Hercule!
Hercule looks over at the others from Earth. Their eyes were wide with shock, but then Videl laughs.
"It figures," Videl chuckles, "King Kai, let my dad speak to them. Since the people of Earth worship him so much, if they hear his voice telling them to do it they'd cut off their arms."
Well, it's a little unorthodox, but whatever works. Come on, you big doofus, tell your fans to help!
Hercule gulps and takes a deep breath. He summons up his usual arrogant attitude that was full of an ego unassailable that it overwhelmed his good sense.
"That's right! Your champ is here, fighting the fight against Majin Buu. I didn't wanna proclaim my presence to give these other fighters a chance at the spotlight, but I am here! But these fighters are using a technique that creates an attack far beyond what even I can execute, because Majin Buu is far more powerful than me, so we need your help. They are gathering up the energy into a single orb and are gonna throw it at Buu and use its pure energy to eradicate his evil body."
I don't know how you managed to figure that out, but good work! That's actually the truth. I guess you're not as dumb as you look.
King Kai's remark is projected to everyone on New Namek, and several of the Z Warriors snicker at Hercule's expense.
~On Earth~
Slowly, almost as one, the remaining people of Earth raise their hands to the sky, offering up their energy to save their planet from the greatest threat it has ever known.
The energy quickly reaches the Spirit Bomb and it multiples in size. It goes from being as big as Goku was tall, but now larger than the Spirit Bomb that Goku summoned on Namek tod estroy Frieza. It has far more power though, sinze Goku compresses the energy as best he can as he receives it. His body strains under the pressure of holding up such an awesome force. The Spirit Bomb he had almost created when he first fought Vegeta was nothing compared to this. That Spirit Bomb would have been able to destroy Vegeta. This one would be able to destroy Majin Buu. This one would save not only the Earth, but the entire universe.
'Still not enough,' Goku thinks, 'it needs more energy. Come on, Gohan, I know you're still alive. Come on, son, wake up and add your energy to the Spirit Bomb'
~On New Namek~
The Z Warriors cheer as they see the energy of the Spirit Bomb increase. Videl gives her father a hug.
"You did it!" Krillin cheers, "I don't believe it. I guess this makes up for you stealing Gohan's glory for defeating Cell seven years ago."
"Gohan said he didn't want it," Pegaro says, "but he wouldn't have wanted Hercule to get so caught up in the fame."
"He wouldn't have if he hadn't been grieving over Goku's death," Chichi says sadly, "he perked up considerably when he learned that I was pregnant with Goten. I did too."
"I'm sorry if I made your lives uncomfortable," Hercule apologizes.
"I think the only thing that made Gohan uncomfortable was going to school with Videl," Pegaro tells Hercule, "he didn't want to ruin her illusions of you."
"You're the guy who beat me at the tournament," Hercule comments.
"I got lucky," Pegaro says, "if I had fought you the way you were seven years ago, I would've lost. You took your opponents seriously before winning the tournament."
"What are you talking about?" Hercule demands.
"You would've won if you had taken me seriously from the start," Pegaro replies, "you are a very talented martial artist and are easily above normal human limitations."
"You know, this is the second time the big doofus has helped us with an assist," Yamcha chuckles, "he threw Android Sixteen's head and Sixteen was able to talk Gohan into letting go and let his hidden power surface."
"It was more than that," Piccolo says, "when Cell stepped on Sixteen's head, that was the final straw. That is what pushed Gohan over the edge and enabled him to reach the power of an Ascendant Super Saiyan. Still, Hercule did help. Now we just have to see if the power of the Spirit Bomb is enough."
"It has to be," the Supreme Kai says, "it just has to be. Nothing else even has a chance of defeating Majin Buu."
"Nothing, you say?" Piccolo asks, "if Goku and Vegeta both trained hard for a few weeks, with Dende to heal them after every training session, they could defeat Majin Buu by Fusing into Gogeta. Especially if they're combined training can enable Gogeta to transform into a Super Saiyan 3."
"I'm surprised that they aren't able to do it now," Krillin says, "after all, Gogeta was able to equal Dabuu, and Buu is nowhere near as powerful as Dabuu."
"Majin Buu is in his original form, and true power," the Supreme Kai says, "Gohan is the only other singular being who has ever come close to equaling his power."
"And now Gohan's gone," Goten whimpers.
"No, he's not dead," the Old Kai says, "in fact, his sheer aura of power was so grea tthat he created a small atmosphere around him when he was thrown out into space, though I'm sure he unconsciously picked up the technique when he was Fused with Jesse.But if he doesn't get back into Earth's atmosphere soon, he will die."
"If he gets back in time he can destroy Buu!" Krillin exclaims.
"He can't," the Old Kai says, "he's lost that Rage and it would be difficult to beat Buu now. But he can add his energy to the Spirit Bomb and that would definitely give it enough power to destroy Buu."
~In space around Earth~
A large white glow was heading towards Earth. Inside it was the current most powerful being in the universe. Majin Buu had managed to get the drop on him, but it would not happen again. He had lost all of the anger and rage just trying to maintain the barrier. He wasn't sure how he had managed it, but he was glad he had. Somehow the barrier had managed to not only keep oxygen in and let in the rare oxygen in space and let out anything his body couldn't breath, but it also blocked the ultraviolet light of the sun and kept him from being flash-boiled instantly. And yet it still allowed enough heat in to keep the sheer coldness of space from freezing him solid.
"Hang on dad," Gohan says as he flies at top speed for Earth as he senses his dad and Vegeta there, "I'll be there soon."
In the distance, the largest and most powerful Spirit Bomb ever created can be seen from outer space a good distance from Earth.
"Hang on dad," Gohan says softly as he comes to a stop, "if you need my energy for the Spirit bomb, I'll gladly give it."
With that, Gohan aims his right hand at the Spirit Bomb and lets go, sending his energy to his father for the ultimate weapon against evil.
As the energy leaves him, he can sense the barrier around him begin to flicker.
'So, this is it,' Gohan thinks, 'after all of this, after all the power I have obtained, I die here in space because I gave too much energy.'
Gohan closes his eyes as he accepts his fate, knowing that he will not stay dead long, for Earth's Dragon Balls could still bring him back.
~On Earth~
'Gohan's sending his energy!' Goku realizes as he feels almost as much power as he was already holding fill the Spirit Bomb and doubling its size. He has to transform into a Super Saiyan 3 just to contain it! With a smile, Goku knows for sure that the Spirit Bomb has enough power to annihilate the evil Buu.
"Vegeta, get out of the way!" Goku screams as he prepares to unleash the Spirit Bomb.
~On New Namek~
"That idiot!" the Old Kai yells, "he can't give that much energy! He won't be able to keep the barrier up and make it to Earth in time!"
"He what?!" Chichi screams, causing all of the Nameks to clap their hands to their ears in pain.
"He transmitted his energy to Goku from space," the Old Kai explains, "but he's given too much. He can't maintain the barrier that is keeping him alive in space. He'll die."
"Wait, what about Porunga?" Dende asks, "Porunga can send Gohan anywhere!"
"That's right!" Piccolo exclaims, "Porunga can bring Gohan here or send him to Earth!"
"Porunga, can you bring the one known as Son Gohan here to New Namek?" Dende asks the Eternal Dragon of Namek.
"I CAN,' Porunga replies, "IS THIS YOUR WISH?"
"It is, mighty Porunga!" Dende calls out.
Porunga's eyes flash red. Gohan is transported from space to right in front of them. "IT HAS BEEN DONE. I HAVE GRANTED THREE WISHES. THE DRAGON BALLS WILL REMAIN DORMANT FOR ONE NAMEKIAN YEAR. FAREWELL."
With that, Porunga vanishes in a flash of gold light and the Namekian Dragon Balls flash gold, then transform into ordinary stones.
"You know, that has gotta be handy," Krillin says, "Dende, you really shoulda done that for Earth's set."
"No one thought of it," Dende replies, "you were all more focused on getting more wishes per summoning."
"Um, someone mind explaining to me how I got here on Namek?" Gohan asks as he get sup.
"GOHAN!" Videl, Chichi, and Goten yell as they rush towards the demi- Saiyan.
"Hey, easy!" Gohan exclaims as the three hug him tight, "how did I get here?"
"Porunga, of course," Chichi replies, "we used the third wish to save your life by bringing you here."
"You know, we could have possibly used the wish to give him his energy back," the Old Kai says, "then he could have made it to Earth and be there to take on Majin Buu in case things went wrong."
"Well, whats done is done," Dende says, moving over to Gohan and placing a hand inches away from his friends chest. A golden glow surrounds Gohan as Dende heals him of his wounds and restores his energy. A minute later, Gohan is as good as new, and a little bit stronger to boot. His maximum power level had increased enough that he could use only the amount of the new strength and take on Tien, Yamcha, and Krillin in a spar and beat them soundly.
"How is the battle on Earth going?" Gohan asks.
"Your father has the Spirit Bomb ready, but Vegeta and the good Buu need to get out of the way first," Piccolo says.
"The GOOD Buu?" Gohan asks.
Trunks gives Gohan a quick explanation.
"And Mr. Jesse said that we could trust him!" Goten adds when Trunks was finished, "he said he was as good as the Buu dad fought is bad."
"Jesse may have kept to himself a lot, but he was a good judge of character," Pegaro says, "probably because of his psychic abilities."
"And now Jesse and Zarvon are gone," Gohan says, shutting his eyes, "can the Dragon bring them back?"
"They are beyond Porunga's reach," Muri says, "it is most unfortunate, but even Porunga has no control over rips in Space/Time. He wouldn't have even been able to close them. Jesse may have saved everyone in existence. Not just here, but in other dimensions as well."
"He went out a lot like dad did at the Cell Games," Gohan says sadly, "a hero to the end."
"I don't think Jesse would've stood by at all and let people come to harm if he could stop it," Pegaro says, "don't you remember how honorable he was? I recall him saying at one time that the most honorable thing a person can do is to help others. Whether it is saving a life or putting your own life on the line to keep harm from them, or even just helping them with a tough job, there is nothing more honorable than helping others. That's why he always showed Videl so much respect after he learned that she helped the Satan City Police Department."
"I thought he was just afraid of her," Gohan chuckles. Videl whaps him in the back of the head.
"That to," Pegaro says, then ducks as Videl tries to hit him as well. "Take some anger management, Videl! Sheesh!"
"Pegaro you should have learned by now that Videl can have a very short temper," Gohan laughs as he watches Videl chase his friend.
"Hey look, Goku's about to launch the Spirit Bomb!" Krillin says as he glances at the crystal ball.
~On Earth~
'Come on, Vegeta, get out of the way!' Goku thinks fiercely as he watches the good Buu and Vegeta fight the evil Buu and lose.
The two champions of good were doing their absolute best against the mighty evil, but it was just too powerful. The good Buu was stronger and more durable than Vegeta, but he was an inferior fighter. Vegeta had great talent as a fighter, but his strength was vastly inferior to that of the two Buu's. Meanwhile, the evil Buu was an exceptional fighter and was even more durable than the good Buu.
"Vegeta, Buu, get out of the way!" Goku yells as he struggles to contain the power of the Spirit Bomb. If he lost control of it, it would completely obliterate the Earth and everyone on it, including the evil Buu. The evil would be destroyed, but so would everyone on Earth and they would have to wait at least 130 days until they could bring everything and everyone back.
Vegeta could hear his fellow Saiyan warrior call out his name, as well as the rest of what he said. It was do or die time. Delivering a kick to the evil buu's face that turns his head around, Vegeta grabs the good Buu and takes off.
But with turning the evil Buu's head around, they also turn it so that he is facing the Spirit Bomb. The evil Buu's eyes widen in fear as he realizes that he is about to die as Goku throws his arms down, launching what could easily be the most powerful attack ever used.
Like a dreadful behemoth, the Spirit Bomb lurches forward towards the evil Buu. Implacable in its movements, it has only one purpose: to stop the most evil being in history.
The evil Buu summons up his power and attempts to stop the Spirit Bomb and drive it back. His energy blasts have absolutely no effect as he pelts the oncoming Spirit bomb with his most powerful attacks. Instead of even slowing the Spirit Bomb down, the blasts just shatter helplessly against it.
Finally, the evil Buu tries to push the Spirit Bomb back with his bare hands. Big mistake. Just touching the Spirit Bomb fills him with an incredible amount of pain as the purity of the Spirit Bomb clashes with the evil of Majin Buu.
Energy crackles around the evil Buu's palms as he tries to push back the Spirit Bomb, but it is no use. Relentless in its task, the Spirit Bomb pushes onward until finally it envelops the Evil Buu.
'Farewell, Majin Buu,' Goku thinks, 'I wish we had another chance to fight, but without the fate of the universe at stake. That'd be some fight.'
In a brilliant flash of light, the Spirit Bomb explodes, destroying the evil Buu once and for all.
~In Otherworld~
"He did it!" King Yemma cheers, "Goku did it!"
"Yes, and now you have to deal with Buu," Baba says.
Great King Yemma pales into a light pink.
"Yes, you, big guy," Baba says, "you have to try and confine the greatest evil. I don't think sending him to Heaven will accomplish anything except for the destruction of Heaven. And I don't think the Yemma Lock will help either."
"Your right," King Yemma replies, some of his color returning to his face, "but Goku expressed a desire to fight him again, without the fate of the universe hanging in the balance."
"That he did," Baba says, "but how are you gonna accomplish that?"
"Same way I sent Goku's grandfather back to the living world the second time: reincarnate him," King Yemma replies, "Goku's grandfather became his eldest son, and now his greatest foe will likely become his first real student in a decade or so."
"And how are you gonna take care of that?" Baba asks.
Great King Yemma grins. "Simple. There's a nice family in some of the outer islands that has been longing for a son for years, but has never gotten one. They're a real good family and if Majin Buu is raised by them in the formative years, and then taken under Goku's wing, he'll likely become Earth's next defender. The strength that was Majin Buu will be lessened since he'll be in a fully human body, but he'll have more strength than any other human to ever live, including Olibu and Jesse."
"Very good plan," Baba approves, "now, is there anything you can do about Jesse and Zarvon?"
"Unfortunately, no," King Yemma replies, "they're out of the reach of anyone or anything. You can't find them?"
"Nope," Baba replies, "and I'm gonna have to tell Gohan that, too. You just know that my perverted brother will think of coming and asking me."
"Well Baba, you can go back to Earth now," King Yemma says, "I can deal with Buu now that he's under my jurisdiction."
"Just don't get over your head," Baba chides, "you wouldn't want him loose in Heaven or Hell."
"That's for sure," King Yemma mutters as Baba floats away and his ogres bring the struggling Majin Buu in for his judgment.
King Yemma cracks his knuckles. "Time to go to work.
~On New Namek~
"He did it!" the Supreme Kai exclaims, "Goku defeated Majin Buu! I don't believe it!"
"Of course he did it," Krillin says, "Goku always comes through for us. He may sometimes lose, but he always comes back stronger than ever."
"Don't we need to take you to Earth?" Kabito asks Piccolo.
"Please," Piccolo says, "I do enjoy being on Namek, but Earth is my home."
"That's okay," Muri says, "if you ever wanna come by for a visit, feel free to stop by. You are the only Namek not born on Namek. You are also the strongest Namekian warrior to ever live, unless Goku has met some in Otherworld."
"He is the strongest," the Supreme Kai says, "the strongest Namek currently in Otherworld is called Slug, and he's not even half as strong as Piccolo is."
"Can we go home now?" Goten asks.
"Of course, "the Supreme Kai says, "everyone, gather close by and I will teleport us all to Earth."
Everyone gathers close to the Supreme Kai. A golden aura envelopes the humans, demi-Saiyans, and two Nameks and they then vanish.
~On Earth, the battle site~
"Well Vegeta, we did it," Goku says to his fellow Saiyan, "we beat the evil Buu. We saved the Earth."
"You did most of the work, Kakarott," Vegeta says, "you're the only one in the universe who can create a Spirit Bomb."
"Thanks, Vegeta," Goku says, "but it was your plan."
In a flash of golden light, all of their friends and family are there.
"Dad, you did it!" Gohan cheers as he runs up and gives his father a hug. Goten and Chichi rush to do the same.
"Hey dad, you were so cool!" Trunks says as he runs up to his dad, adoration in his eyes.
"Buu, you're alive!" Hercule says as he runs up to his large pink friend with Bee close behind him.
"What are we gonna do with him?" Piccolo asks the Supreme Kai, indicating Buu.
"Well, he's a personification of the goodness that was the South Supreme Kai and the Dai Kaio that the evil Majin Buu absorbed," the Supreme Kai replies, "I see no reason why he shouldn't be allowed to do what he wishes as long as he doesn't going around destroying stuff."
"Aren't you forgetting that people don't know about the split and everything?" Pegaro asks, "when they see Buu, they'll think he's come to kill them again."
"That problems easy to solve," Yamcha chuckles, "we still have two whole wishes with Earth's Dragon Balls. One wish should take care of their memories. Don't know what to do about the second wish though."
"We can just save the wish," Dende says, "the Dragon Balls will go inert for four months if we only use one wish."
"That's great!" Yamcha cheers, "I'm glad you put it in when you remade the Dragon Balls."
"Actually, it was already there," Dende replies, "apparently, Kami had put that in, not knowing about it. He could have taken the model of the Dragon and empowered the Dragon Balls further after he ascended the Throne of Kami. Had he done that, I could have boosted the Dragons strength a little more, giving it three wishes of equal strength. I couldn't do anything about the inability of Shenlong to bring back someone who's already been killed, but there are things that you can't help. I could make a set of Dragon Balls that had only one wish that could bring someone back more than once, but that'll reduce the power of the other Dragon Balls. And Piccolo just isn't interested in learning how to make them properly."
"Hey, instead of making people forget about Majin Buu being evil, why not replace the images of him in their memories with his true form?" Goku asks, "that way they won't forget anything."
"Kakarot, you are smarter than I give you credit for," Vegeta snorts.
At that moment, Goku's stomach rumbles. "I guess I'm hungry. I haven't had a real good home cooked meal in seven years!"
Vegeta shakes his head. "And some things will never change. Kakarot, how can you be ruled by your stomach?!"
"Aren't all Saiyans like that?" Bulma asks, "as I recall, we spend thousands, if not millions a year feeding you and Trunks."
"We have healthy appetites for Saiyan warriors," Vegeta replies, "but Kakarot has an even bigger appetite than necessary."
"What can I say, I just like to eat," Goku says with his classic grin that he had passed on to his sons.
"Well, can we go on and get the Dragon Balls and clear up this mess?" Bulma asks, "there's a lot of damage from the evil Buu's attacks and we could use the Dragon Balls to fix it all up."
"The three of us should be going," the Supreme Kai says as he, the Old Kai, and Kibito gather together, "I thank you all for helping to end the threat of Majin Buu once and for all."
"Hey, Supreme Kai, we're probably gonna be having a victory party before long," Goku says, "why don't you three come and join us? It'll be great!"
"I really don't think that it would be wise," Kibito says.
"We'll come!" the Old Kai says, "I wanna have some fun! We Kai's are so serious all of the time that we lose sight of why we must look out for the universe. This party may give you a very different outlook on mortals, Kibito. Besides, I've been stuck inside the Z Sword for millennia! I wanna have some fun!"
"Just have someone contact the North Kai and have him relay the information to us," the Supreme Kai says, "and we'll do everything we possibly can to find Jesse and Zarvon. If anyone can find them, the three of us can."
With that, the three Kai's teleport out in a blaze of golden aura's.
~~
I know, I know. I'm following the show very closely, but I got my reasons. For one thing, the Spirit Bomb is the ultimate attack. Energy waves can be dodged, but a Spirit Bomb as big as that one was can't be dodged, even by someone like Buu. And now Buu has been weakened, but I think blasting him with the Spirit Bomb is preferable to incinerating him with a Kamehameha. The pure, good energy of the Spirit Bomb obliterated the evil energy of the evil Buu. That and its just plain cool.
Also, it takes quite a bit to get in a DBZ writing mood. Toonami has been airing the Frieza Saga again, which is cool. I love the speech Goku gives Frieza after turning into a Super Saiyan. I would have used the dialogue from the actual episodes that include Goku using the Spirit Bomb on Buu, but I don't have them recorded and I can't locate a store nearby that sells the videos. DVDs, I can find, but I don't own a DVD player and my computer won't run them. Still, I do like what I've come up with. I'm hoping that in the course of airing these older episodes of DBZ that they air them all again, including the Future Trunks Saga and the Saiyaman Saga in particular. The Afterlife Tournament Saga would be great to see again as well. I don't know why, but I just love the Saiyaman Saga. So many fanfics rewrite it or deal with that time period, though they ignore Saiyadork. Not that I blame them.
Also, there are some questions, like the Smooster's question about Jesse's sword, that will be answered in the sequel or as this fic continues. For one thing, I gotta come up with the answers. And Smooster, Zarvon going up to the Golden Oozaru was to fill a plot hole. Poor writing ability on my part, but I just couldn't figure out a way to do it. I did think of tossing him into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, but I only thought of it just now.
And nothing gets me into the mood to write DBZ fanfics like reading them! My favorites are below.
The Return by The Smooster Storyid: 479303
Summary: Set 400 years after the end of Dragon Ball GT, a descendant of both Goku and Vegeta meets a proud young woman and learns what it means to be great.
My opinions: Quite possibly the best thing I have ever read, be it fanfic, published literary work, or comic. The Smooster is a talented author who definitely knows how to write good action scenes. Every chapter is very long, one average as long as my last chapter. A lot of original ideas pervade his writing style, but the way he blends it in makes it totally believable. It will definitely take you a while to read the entire 52 chapters that are up at this moment, but it'll be worth it. I read the first forty or so chapters in one sitting. It captivated me that much. No other fanfic has been able to do this except for B Diddy's Dragon Ball Generations. Even if you don't read it all at once (an it took me nearly five hours to do it) you'll still enjoy reading it, even if you only read a chapter or two a day.
Anything written by B Diddy Userid: 42947 About: Everything this guy writes is top notch. From his original Dragon Ball Generations Series to After GT: A Trunks and Pan Tale to the new version of DBG titled Generations, all of B Diddy's, also known as Brandon B, work is exceptional and top class. You'll definitely like anything this guy writes if you like what I write.
Law and Disorder by CCS AnGeL00 Storyid: 951317
Summary: [GohanVidel, AU] In an alternate universe where Satan Videl is a detective for the Satan City Police department, she's forced to learn the meaning of "partnership" when detective Son Gohan enters her life.
My opinion: An excellent work or literary genius. CCS AnGeL00 has written an excellent alternate universe that has the entire Z Gang as members of law enforcement. From District Attorney Vegeta, police captain Son Goku, the "Prosecuting Pair" of Bulma and Krillin, computer genius and gadget guy Trunks, forensic analyst Sharpner, Mr. Satan the mayor, Goten the lady killer (in his dreams, maybe. Even I can come up with better pick-up lines), and Yajirobe and Yamcha as your run of the mill streetwise cops. An excellent piece of work. Not many chapters out, but each one is worth reading and each new update is well worth it. Wait till you see the Halloween party. It's to die for.
Some Dreams do Come True by Boombubble Storyid: 581760
Summary: After being lured onto the spaceship of the evil space pirate Kashunari, the Z Fighters return home to the Earth completely devastated. Not to mention inadvertently releasing the fabled Majin Buu in the process.
My opinions: An excellent work. The use of psychic power is very innovative and gave me the idea for some of Jesse's attacks. I think it might be a somewhat crossover, but I'm not sure. It is complete and very cool.
Next up: You'll find out what happens next, including where Jesse and Zarvon ended up. I honestly don't know if you can figure it out. I plan on being a little vague. It can be figured out, though. Well, please review and tell me whether you want a continuation or a sequel. So far, I think I've only gotten votes for doing a sequel. Still haven't thought up a name for a sequel if it turns out that that is what I'll be writing.
