Chapter twenty-eight - Showdown
"Come on Buu, let's get going." Bobidi said. "We've got other worlds to go to, other people to exact our revenge on."
Buu turned and looked Bobidi over for a moment then smiled. "Mmmm, with luck we'll find someone who's a challenge..." and followed Bobidi toward the ship. He didn't make it however, as a foot slammed into the back of his head and knocked him flying.
When he got up he didn't look happy. "Who did that! Who hit BUU!" he roared
The fighter landed and smiled. "The name's Hiroku." he said as an aura of red exploded up around him. "Let's see what you've got." In a flash he charged in and landed a right hook to Buu's face followed by a left to his stomach. He didn't give Buu a chance to recover and kept pounding on him. As he was about to land a massive blow to Buu's face he vanished.
Reappearing behind Hiroku he attempted to land a kick to his head but the fusion blocked and turned. The two locked into close combat as Bobidi ran for cover. As they exchanged blows they lifted into the air, thunderous explosions echoing from each block. Suddenly a hard right hook caught Hiroku across the jaw and a kick to the back sent him into the ground.
He was back on his feet in an instant, Buu floated in the air smirking. Hiroku clenched his fists and began to power up. Dust swirled around him as rocks lifted into the air and exploded into atoms. His muscles increased in size slightly and blue lightning lanced about his still red aura. Otherwise nothing changed. "Hmm, this isn't what I'd expected..." he said looking himself over. "I did just transform, right?" /Must be because of the fusion, something about Hiroshi's genes or something.... Whatever, doesn't mater./
Again he charged in toward Buu but now he was ready for the fight too. Before Hiroku could land a blow Buu kicked him in the face, flew around behind him, kicked him in the side, lifted over his head and smacked him in the top of his head with an elbow smashing Hiroku into the ground again. /He doesn't feel as squishy as he looked earlier./ he thought jokingly, but it triggered a thought in the back of his mind.
Standing back up he smirked, "I have an idea." he said just loud enough for Buu to hear. "Let's see if I'm right." He held his right arm up in front of him, fist clenched, like he was going to shake his fist at Buu. A red energy ball began to form around the fist as Buu stared down. Suddenly Hiroku pulled his arm back and thrust it toward Buu as though throwing a punch. "Dragon Fist!" he yelled as the red energy surged from his fist toward Buu. As it flew through the air the sphere changed form taking on the appearance of a Dragon's head.
Buu just smiled however, and waited for the attack. Once it was close enough he turned and swatted it with his fist. The blast tore through his hand and sped off. Buu looked down at where his hand should have been and frowned, then got a rather angry look on his face. Suddenly he whipped his arm out to his side and smiled. "Watch and learn little man." he laughed. Near his wrist his arm rippled slightly but nothing happened.
"Watch and learn" Hiroku repeated.
"What's this?" he cried looking at his arm, his hand still missing. "Why wont it grow back? What did you do!" he shouted down to Hiroku.
Hiroku smiled up at Buu and then charged in again. The attack caught him off guard and Hiroku planted his knee in Buu's stomach. Again the fierce close range battle picked up. With one hand missing Buu was having a bit more trouble handling the fusion. Suddenly a close range volley of energy blasts slammed into the pink creature knocking him backward. Buu raised his arms to block but when the barrage ended his left arm was missing and his right was only half there.
Buu's arms rippled again and stopped. He roared in frustration as he glared at Hiroku. "Why wont it work!? It worked before, I was even able to pull myself together from a bunch of little pieces, what's changed!?" Suddenly he went silent and his face blanked before a look of disbelief came on to it.
Hiroku smiled again. "Took you long enough." he said charging in for another assault. A look of fear flitted across Buu's face for an instant then he dodged around the attack and landed. Hiroku flew down straight at Buu charging a massive energy bomb in his fist along the way.
Buu left out a roar and fired an energy beam from his mouth catching Hiroku by surprise and hitting him head on. The charging energy bomb exploded in his own face and the fusion was knocked to the ground and had the wind knocked out of him. As he began to stand the ground began to shake and he could hear Buu groaning as if under a great stress. He looked toward the creature and saw his whole body rippling, steam pouring from his holes, and his aura flare up around him.
"Buu go back!" he cried. "Buu go BACK!" he shouted at the top of his lungs throwing his head back as he was engulfed by his aura. The ground shook harder and as the wind began to push Hiroku backward he had to brace his feet. Suddenly something came flying out of the aura around Buu and slammed into the ground a few yards from Hiroku.
/It's one of the Androids, he's pushing them back out of his system./ he realized as he looked at Matrix
An instant later the other Android crashed to the ground off in another direction. The shaking subsided and the aura faded. Once again Buu was back to his original, fat, state. The blobish Buu grinned evilly and laughed as his arms re-grew. "Buu beat you up!" he cried joyfully. "Buu beat you up and make you into candy!"
Hiroku just laughed. "You were stronger than me when fused with those two," he nodded toward the Androids. "But now I'm stronger than you. How do you intend to 'beat me up'?"
"Man with funny hair right, Buu not stronger now. What Buu needs is more Buu so Buu make more!" he put his arms straight out and his body began to ripple again. This time however, instead of spewing out Androids, another Buu stepped out of the original. "Now there two Buu and one you!" they both laughed.
"Come on Buu, let's get going." Bobidi said. "We've got other worlds to go to, other people to exact our revenge on."
Buu turned and looked Bobidi over for a moment then smiled. "Mmmm, with luck we'll find someone who's a challenge..." and followed Bobidi toward the ship. He didn't make it however, as a foot slammed into the back of his head and knocked him flying.
