I wish I owned DBZ, but I don't. I own DVD's and tapes, but it just isn't the same. I also don't own the right to any of the music pieces you may see selected, just copies of merchandise, such a shame. The artists that created them are geniuses and we all must bow to them.
Chapter 8: Fight against Majin Buu
The Supreme Kai's jaw shook relentlessly as Buu floated in front of him, laughing like a madman. Buu then stopped laughing, but kept a weird grin on his face, he brought his arms to full length to his sides. Faster then I could see, Buu squished the Kai's face between his hands before sending him to the ground with a kick. He then turned to me, Crap, guess I'll get to see what King Yemma actually looks like now.
Buu didn't attack though, "You, boy! You want to play with Buu?" I wasn't sure how to answer, but if this thing wanted to play and left Gohan and Kai alone, then I could put up with it. Plus if it acted like a child all the time, maybe I could use that to my advantage.
"Sure Buu, what game?" I asked with a smile.
He giggled slightly, "We play catch, first one to go boom loses!" I immediately frowned, getting exactly what he meant by that. Backing off a little, he fired a weak blast at me. It was nothing that would do any damage to me, so I prepared myself, then knocked it straight back at him. He laughed slightly as he caught the small ki ball in his hand. Then it doubled in size and power and he flung it at me again. So that's his game, well that's fine with me. I gathered up my energy, and then caught the ball in my hand, though it was hard to grab a hold of it. I poured much more ki into it, and then brought it back behind me.
"Here it comes big guy! Galic Gun, FIRE!" I shouted as his pink ball turned deep red and roared with my ki power added to it, rocketing straight towards him. He didn't even put his arms up to catch it, his smile vanished as the ball hit his upper body dead on, causing a loud explosion. For a few seconds I could only see smoke, and the lower body of Buu, which fell to the ground promptly. The entire upper body was gone, leaving only half a corpse. I grinned slightly, landing on the ground and overlooked Buu's remains from where I stood.
Something was strange though, if he could wipe out Gohan and Kai so quick, how could I beat him so easy? Maybe I caught him off guard, that or his fat ass just couldn't take much of a hit. Gohan and Kai never even got a shot off after all. The corpse continued to smoke, and then stopped. Something was amiss, my smile turned to a determined focus, the energy signal was not gone yet. Suddenly the lower body flipped upward and landed upright on the ground. I felt some energy stir in the body, and unbelievably Buu's upper body popped up out of his lower, as well as a new pair of arms, the purple cape and all. I gasped at the sight, but who wouldn't.
Buu began to laugh again, "I lose, I went Boom first! Boy good at games, we be friends! Lets play a new game!" Buu suggested, shaking the cobwebs from his newly formed head. I couldn't really answer him out loud, but was I ever blown away by his re-growth. HOW THE HELL DID HE JUST REGENERATE FROM THAT?! Was all I was thinking, never mind a new game with the monster.
"New game! Who can make biggest boom! You go first!" Buu said, holding up his hands and motioning towards himself. When at first you don't succeed.. I gathered my power in my hands and held them behind me, remembering how to do the attack exactly.
"Ka, Meh, Ha, meh," I began, as Buu chuckled, pumping his arms. I'll show you! This one is for you Gohan! "HAAAAA!" I screamed and released the killer blue beam with everything I could find for energy. Big as a house and powerful enough to wipe out a city, my beam pressed into Buu, causing him to scream very loudly. My beam plowed through him and flowed into the distance, far from Gohan and Kai. The noise from the explosion was deafening, and if the dead could be woken up I bet they would have. The smoke slowly cleared, and I could here Babidi praying for his life as both he and I saw no trace of Buu. I didn't sense his energy either, still making me wonder if he was truly gone. I walked slowly over to where Buu had been standing, and could see large chunks of him lying around, pink strands of skin it seemed, each around one foot long.
"I get it now, if you punch or kick him he just absorbs the blow. If you just blast a hole or attack in a normal way he would just regenerate, so you have to make an attack large enough to blow him to bits and he won't be able to come back, and here I still can't believe it!" I said to myself, scratching the back of my head. I turned on my heel and started towards Babidi, who wasn't sure what to do.
"You! Wretched kid, how dare you, look what you did to Buu!" he yelled angrily.
"And now just see what I do to you, for what you did to Vegeta, I hope hell serves it up real good!" I shouted and flew toward him. Suddenly that large energy signal was back; I spun around just as Babidi flew away. In front of me I could only describe the impossible, the large chunks of Buu were moving, and then they all lifted off the ground and merged into each other. The blob took shape and Buu reformed from the pink mess. Oh man, no way!
"Boy make really good boom!" Buu said, laughing a little as he walked over to me. "Now it my turn!"
Oh crap, how the hell am I going to get outta this bind? Buu continued to laugh like crazy as he charged a blast in his hands, and it wasn't something I wanted to hit me, for sure. He fired it straight at me before I could protest, I crouched down and blocked against it with all my might, preparing for the end. But it never came, the pink blast exploded somewhere off to the right. To my left I saw Gohan and the Kai standing with arms outstretched, a trace of their ki hit my senses.
"Thanks guys!" I said right away.
Buu didn't look too happy though, "Hey no fair! Me and boy play, you get in Buu's way! Well Buu fix that!" he said, pumping his arms again. Gohan powered up again and flew straight towards him, only to be knocked back to where he was standing by Buu. Kai wasn't in fighting shape though; Buu's few hits took their toll. Gohan's energy was very low now, he felt as if he was on fumes now. That left me, who had spent a lot on Dabura and now most of the reserve on Buu.
I wish Vegeta or Goku were here, they'd know what to do, the thought ran through my head as I straightened my glove a little. I felt a bump in it and realized that I never took the Senzu bean that was in it. I wonder if these things work even when split in two, I pulled the bean out and broke it cleanly in half.
"Kai, eat this!" I shouted, tossing him a half, then rushing over to Gohan who was having trouble standing up.
"Look what I saved!" I said, shoving the other half bean in his mouth and promptly feeling Kai's energy spike back up.
"We must retreat somehow, but he is sure to follow us!" Kai declared, as Buu continued to dance around like an idiot.
"Buu, I told you to get over there and kill those three morons!" Babidi screamed at him. Suddenly something solid struck Buu and I saw a spear poking out of his belly. Not far from where he stood, I saw a familiar red demon, who was very winded.
"Take that you freak!" Dabura yelled.
"I think our chance to escape has arrived," Gohan said as Dabura slowly walked towards Babidi.
"Babidi! Don't be a fool; this creature is far too powerful to be kept under your leash! Make the smartest choice of your life and help me crush him now before he gets out of control!" Dabura said rather sternly to the wizard.
"Dabura, get lost! He has been my life long desire, and now that he is here, you are nothing!" Babidi said to the demon's face, who was quite taken aback by the reaction. Buu didn't care either way; he pulled the spear out and regenerated the tiny hole.
"What is this thing?" Dabura shouted in surprise.
"Should we help him? He is going against Babidi and Buu now?" Gohan asked.
"It won't be much good to us either way boys, Buu will plow over all of us just like he did the Kai's all those years ago!" Kai answered, slowly lifting off in the air. Gohan followed his example and Kai quickly jetted off in the other direction. I turned towards Buu, who was no longer there.
"Where did he go?" Gohan asked, still having not moved yet. The answer came a few seconds later, as Kai's body came crashing back towards us at a very high speed, even for him. He hit the ground hard and flipped over onto his stomach, groaning.
"AH ah ah, you no leave, me not eat yet!" Buu yelled, coming back and landing in front of Kai. Gohan wasn't going to sit around for the next move, he charged Buu fully and using his ki, he swung a volley of hard punches to Buu's body. Buu stumbled back a little, the punches putting tiny dents in the pink monsters flabby mass. Gohan scored a few more hits, before kicking Buu to the ground.
Gohan landed next to Kai, "We're getting out of here now!" Gohan shouted at me, bending down to Kai. I nodded and lifted into the air, waiting on them. Buu came springing back and hit Gohan in the stomach, who flipped right back up and flew at Buu.
"You big pest, you leave now!" Buu cackled and raised his hands.
"Watch out for his blast!" I shouted, too late though. A powerful blue beam shot out of Buu's fat hands and hit Gohan dead on, he was flung into the distance riding a huge ball of ki, I could hear him screaming the entire way. The ball soon exploded and I no longer felt Gohan's energy, it was completely gone. No…, I stood there in shock for a minute or two, not really sure what to do or say. It felt a lot like when my home planet blew up, only I felt something raging beneath that was itching to make itself known. The sound of Gohan's scream echoed long after it died out, at least in my mind. Now that I was not focused on the task and was hurting inside, it came bubbling to the surface as a new charge of energy. I let it flow into my form, which caused my muscles to twitch and grow a little bit, letting go of a blood curdling scream in the process that got everyone's attention, especially Buu's.
I regained control of myself before I blew up, and let the ki properly flood into my senses. What happened, did I ascend? No…I'm only a little stronger than before. I recognized the feel of this energy, Vegeta had told me about it. It was a Super Saiyan in the full potential of the first form, or just full power for slang. I was a little surprised to say the least, as I wasn't feeling like I wanted to throw buildings around all day, I was much more controlled than expected. To be honest, I was kind of disappointed. Full power was more productive then the other powerful stages of Super Saiyan though, I couldn't complain about that. Whatever it was, it was refreshing, and my super form was now stronger, but not near enough to match Buu. It was more like I had added my normal power and my Super Saiyan power together as if they were separate. I wasn't quite sure what to make of this, Vegeta told me this form came with time, not anger and rage like the initial form. However I didn't want to analyze it at the moment, it really didn't matter.
I growled deeply once I had control of myself and charged at Buu who stood there dumbfounded. I bashed him in the face a few times with little effect before kicking him hard in the side, making him skid across the ground for a moment. With a snarl of rage, I released a large golden blast from both hands, hitting Buu directly. A lot of smoke and dust kicked up just as part of his midsection was vaporized. I sensed his level didn't fluctuate and I took a moment to calm down a bit. I wasn't thinking clearly, just acting on instinct and that wasn't good. The dust cleared up a moment later, and Buu looked unharmed, but I could tell he had to have regenerated again. His happy grin had now vanished.
"Boy mad? At Buu?" Buu asked, frowning now.
"Of course I'm mad! You just blew up my friend you fat piece of shit!" I screamed at him, and he jumped a little.
"Sorry, Master tell me too! Have to do what Master Babidi says or else I go back in ball!" Buu said solemnly. Well that's no excuse, not that I really cared what that thing really thought, all I could see now was the evil.
"Have to blow boy up now too, and mean purple guy! Then I eat big red guy!" Buu declared.
Dabura face faulted, "You wouldn't dare!" he challenged.
Buu turned to him, "I eat you now! ME GONNA EAT YOU UP!" Buu began to chant as he danced towards Dabura. Dabura rushed forward and lashed out with a fury I hadn't seen before, each of his blows connected before tripping Buu at the legs and kicking him into a far hill.
"Buuuuuuu!" I heard him call out before he hit.
"Good riddance!" Dabura yelled after him. I knew Buu would be back soon, and seeing as Dabura was fighting him as well, I took the chance.
"Dabura! He's not gone, he can regenerate himself! I blew a big hole in him earlier and he regenerated, then he did it again after I blew him into chunks!" I shouted to the demon king, fresh on the mutiny board with Babidi's cause. Dabura gave me a bewildered glance, but accepted it by nodding his head.
Sure enough, Buu popped out of rocks and began dancing towards Dabura again, chanting "ME GONNA EAT YOU UP!" Dabura powered up, one pissed off look on his face, and the ki turned darker. He rose into the air and held out his palm. Then he fired constant red blasts from his hand, striking Buu right on the money, and slicing through his fat skin. Dabura then literally turned Buu into Swiss cheese with the attack, the smoke around Buu exploded outward on Dabura's final hit. Dabura was tired again, and lowered to the ground near me.
"Kid, if he comes back up, me and you must both rush him together! I can tell your stronger now, but neither of us can take him alone, but together we might do it!" Dabura spoke to me as if I were his ally all along. Well, we have tried everything else to this point, why not?
"Got it, ready!" I said, taking my powers to their new peak. Buu soon jumped from the crater he had been in and regenerated his Swiss cheese type form, laughing and dancing around.
"NOW!" Dabura got to Buu first, him being much faster then me. He punched at Buu's head and kicked his midsection as I got there. I got behind Buu and hammered on his back hard, occasionally kicking him in the huge butt of his. Dabura was using his front as a punching bag, then jumped back, I followed suit, landing to the left of him.
"Now blast together! Hell Blitz!" he shouted, firing off a thick red blast.
"Galic gun!" I shouted quickly, getting a good grip on the beam I had to summon fast and pouring my new power into it. Our beams collided at Buu's body and literally tore him apart, both large enough to shoot his whole body. Our ki beams merged together on Buu and exploded outwards, knocking me backwards from the power increase. Dabura put his cape over his face, the power affecting him a little too. Buu was screaming as the explosion of ki was burning him, literally. The light and smoke ceased and Buu now resembled a really big ketchup packet that had popped.
"Come on!" I shouted, flying to the burning remains. I blasted the fiery mess, trying to do away with the beast before it came back. Dabura joined me and we each blasted the remains until nothing but smoke was left.
"Man, I wasn't sure if that would work!" I said, wiping my brow.
"What kind of creature was that?" Dabura asked.
"I don't know, but I'm glad it's gone, and no matter what happens in the future, thanks!" I said quickly before Dabura changed his mind about his disobedience towards Babidi, who couldn't have been happy about it. Dabura grunted and started moving towards Babidi. To say he was a little mad wouldn't be quite accurate with the way his energy flickered. Babidi was backing up, clearly frightened as Dabura marched down on him. Suddenly a huge gust of wind went by my head and the smoke from Buu's ashes turned pink and rose quickly into the air. It formed a cloud of it, which then turned to liquid. Oh no, not again! You must have to completely destroy this thing with energy, burning it sure as hell didn't work!
Dabura spun, "What? No!" He fired another blast at the new blob forming, and the ki attack bounced right off an energy shield. I fired off a few shots as well, but they were both deflected. I looked across the field of battle to see Kai stumbling to his feet, motioning for me to come with him. I never had a chance to acknowledge it as Buu rained down on me and stood in front, huge grin on his face. I backed down into a fighting stance, scared out of my mind now. Dabura didn't wait around for Buu to take another one down, and attacking while Buu had his back turned. I joined in, but Buu was tired of playing, and after I hit him just once, his huge hand flew back at my face, my nose instantly broke, along with a cheek bone or two, and I went flying back. I landed on my feet and took a knee, holding the huge amount of blood that was now spewing from my nose and down my chin. Buu was now fighting Dabura for real; punching him with speed and power I had never seen, quickly wearing Dabura down. Buu nailed a strong uppercut on Dabura, punched straight to the gut, and then kicked when he doubled over, sending Dabura into the air.
"Now you be a cookie!" Buu yelled as his forelock thing flipped forward and shot a pink beam at Dabura. What was weird was that the beam didn't feel like ki energy I was used to sensing; I could sense it, but barely. The beam surrounded Dabura, who screamed in response. His energy drained incredibly fast, and he stopped screaming and seemed to pull his legs together, as well as his arms like a statue. He smoked out when the beam was done, and what appeared afterwards I will never forget. Dabura had turned brown, and in the air was the thick smell of a sugar cookie, fresh baked. Buu jogged up under the new Dabura cookie and caught him. Then he shoved him in his mouth, filling it completely, and chewed the cookie up, slurping a little on the side. Oh shit, I don't believe it, he actually did eat him!
"What a delicious snack Buu, you can eat the Supreme Kai and the boy too if you like!" Babidi cheered, walking up to Buu, clapping his hands. Buu laughed loudly again and flew like a bullet at Kai, who formed a ki ball and shot it at him. It didn't do anything this time, not even a dent. Kai's jaw just dropped as Buu punched his hand into it, more then likely shattering teeth on impact as Kai dropped to the ground. I prepared myself to go save him as Buu bent over slightly and his forelock glowed pink again. I blasted off and was halfway there before a big explosion went off behind me. Great what now? This caused Buu and Babidi to turn as well as myself, wondering what the hell that was, and who did it.
"Ack! My ship! It's been blown up! No, not my ship, I can't get off this planet now! Majin Buu, I want you to find out who did this!" Babidi yelled. Buu smiled slightly and stared at the smoke.
"Wait, someone's coming!" Babidi declared. I looked back at the smoke and began to feel a new presence, normally I would have picked it up right away, but Buu's power was masking my ki sense beyond the battle zone. The smoke cleared enough to see a dark figure, with spiky hair that had turned gold. The figure landed as the smoke cleared, showing a torn up blue spandex similar to my own, boots and gloves by the same similar style. Thank god he's back, I hope.
"You will find Krillin and the Namek on that cliff, go and explain what has happened. And thank you for holding on for this long; this is my fight from here boy. Sorry I'm late," Vegeta said, a small look of pride sparkled in his eye. I didn't know rather to hug him or kill him, but either way I was happy to see him, but someone was missing.
"Before I go, where's Goku?" I asked.
"Taking a nap while I dispose of Buu, go now!" he shouted. I didn't want to be told twice by someone in his state, so I lifted off and flew towards the far cliff where Piccolo and Krillin's statues had been. To my great surprise, I found Piccolo and Krillin normal again, watching me come to them, and in between them were none other than Trunks, Goten, Eighteen and Videl.
"Verto! What happened to you?" Goten asked.
"Long story, kind of had to help fight Majin Buu, Vegeta has arrived and is going to fight him now. I'm really tired!" I said, landing, and taking a seat for the moment, not truly realizing how much a few of Buu's blows did, not to mention my drained feeling. I stayed in Super Saiyan form though, I was afraid I'd pass out if I didn't.
x-x-x-x-x
"Where are Gohan and Goku, and the Supreme Kai?" Piccolo began. I couldn't say a word as I choked back a sea of salt water. I bent my head a little, as the events replaying through my head.
"Look, Gohan is gone. Majin Buu got him, and I don't know where Goku is. Kai is down there somewhere," I thought to Piccolo, not wanting to tell him out loud due to present company. Piccolo gasped once I finished the transmission.
"What is it Piccolo?" Trunks asked, tugging at his cape, but Piccolo didn't answer. Eighteen and Videl then started in on me, particularly my nose and its new direction with plenty of red running down my chin.
"You okay kid?" Eighteen asked.
"I'll let you know once my nose goes back to a normal position, man I think he smashed some cheek bones too, all that in one hit!" I said, everyone gasped at the end of that statement as I carefully wiped the red off of my mouth and chin.
"What is that pink blob down there, it's giving off a ton of power?" Krillin asked.
"That's Buu. Babidi tried to enslave Vegeta's mind, only he released Vegeta's evilness. Then he sent us to the world tournament where Vegeta blew up a shit load of fans to get Goku to fight him. Vegeta and Goku then fought far away from here as per Goku's request away from people. The damage energy from that battle brought Majin Buu to full power and released him. That pink tub of lard may not look like much, but trust me, he's tough and very strong!" I explained.
Videl pulled a cloth from her pocket and began wiping my nose and face off lightly, "Yeah we saw you guys come back at the tournament, Chichi and Bulma said they were going to gather the dragonballs with the others. Miss Eighteen and I came here, following Trunks and Goten."
"You should have stayed with Chichi and Ma, this beast is fully capable of destroying this planet on a moment's notice," I said, flinching when Videl touched a broken spot. I heard Vegeta speaking loudly to Buu, and crawled up to the cliff to listen and watch.
"I assume that ugly blob there is Majin Buu! If so, you've been revived long enough to meet your maker in hell! As for you Babidi, best hope that Buu defeats me, you're next!" Vegeta shouted.
"He say ooo-gly what that mean?" Buu asked Babidi.
"He means your face would frighten small children, now be quiet!" Babidi explained while Buu began to laugh. Vegeta bore a confident smirk, one that always fit him well. Buu suddenly frowned and expanded a little bit, before the holes on his body shot off steam again.
"Oh great, why did Vegeta have to get him worked up like that?" Krillin muttered, "This won't be pretty!"
"Not for my dad, he can do anything!" Trunks said with a smile.
"I hope so, that thing is tough," I said. Vegeta dropped into his powerup stance and did just that. I could sense that his power had increased a bit since before fighting with Goku, must've had a senzu bean or something. Then his power grew impossibly high as he blasted back into Super Saiyan two; lightning surrounded him as his power closed in on Buu's until I could not detect a difference in their powers!
"Wow, I knew my Dad could take him out!" Trunks said to his father's extremely high level of power. I didn't want to get my hopes up the moment, but the fact that Vegeta's power was close or equal to Buu's was a very good thing at this point in the game. But Buu's endurance could be a serious problem.
