Chapter 25: trouble for Gotenks.
Majin Buu, the monster that was terrorizing planet Earth had already demolished most of the major cities and was now visiting a small seaside town. The whole planet was now afraid of him and he seemed to like that but he did not seem to realise what he was doing was wrong. It was as if he was simply a child playing with a mound of ants.
Buu looked around and laughed as he had just eaten the entire population of the small seaside town. He turned and went to take to the air when he saw a small dot that was slowly getting larger directly above him. Buu looked confused as the dot slowly became a boy with his leg out in front of him and a wicked smirk on his face.
The boy got nearer and ended up kicking Buu in the face and then, using Buu's face as a spring board, jumped off him and came back with a round house that sent the monster flying backwards and into a building. When Buu got out of the rubble he glared at the boy.
"What's the matter Majin Buu? Didn't you enjoy that?" the boy asked as he smirked.
"Buu no know who boy is but Buu gonna make you go Ow!" Buu declared back making the boy's smirk grow.
"How cute. Well Buu, the names Gotenks and I'll be the one to pound you into the ground!" the boy said and sunk into a casual stance. Buu frowned and started to walk towards Gotenks. Gotenks grinned and watched, as the blob got closer. Buu got right in front of Gotenks and raised his fist but Gotenks had disappeared. Buu looked round and there was Gotenks charging full speed behind him.
Gotenks shoulder barged Buu and grabbed the monster's leg as he flew backwards. Gotenks started to spin round and when he had gotten fast enough he let go of Buu and charged a blast and fired it at the blob. Buu's head and torso was blown away but a new one popped right back up and Buu grinned at Gotenks.
"Err…looks like that didn't work." Gotenks thought out loud. He frowned at Buu the charged again and this time trying long combos of kicks and punches. Gotenks was moving so fast that he was sure that Buu could not even attempt to block even if he tried but he was wrong.
Buu raised his right arm over his head as Gotenks continued his assault, then swung it down, knocking Gotenks off his feet and through a near by building.
Gotenks came out of it looking peeved and he glared over at Buu who was now pumping his arms and grinning. Gotenks glared harder then shot himself forward at Buu, twisting himself in mid-air so that he could kick Buu high into the air. When he was up there, Buu somehow made his head trade places with his feet with out turning so he was now facing Gotenks who was now staring wide-eyed at the monster while flying up to meet him.
Gotenks tried to stop himself but Buu was flying down to meet him. The monstrous blob raised his fists and punched Gotenks hard across the cheek then punched him again with his over fist then continued into a long combo of punches that Gotenks had no chance of defending against.
Buu laced his fists together and swung them down on to Gotenks head, sending him flying down into the harbour wall.
Battered and bruised, Gotenks looked helplessly up at Buu who was gathering his energy into his raised hand.
Looks like this is it…why didn't I listen to Piccolo? He thought. His ears picked up on something but he couldn't turn his head to see. Was that some kind of machine he could hear? And shouts?
"Ok men, we only have one shot at this so we better hit hard with everything we got! Fire at will!" a voice yelled. Gotenks cursed. The army was there.
He could see missile after missile being fired at Buu as well as hearing other gun shots but when the smoke cleared Buu was floating there un harmed and still wearing his annoying grin.
"Buu!" he yelled and fired the blast that would wipe out the army and Gotenks.
Up on the lookout Zara was crouching over the edge of the lookout next to Piccolo, staring down at the earth. Zara could sense what was happening but Piccolo confirmed her worst fears.
"Oh no…he won't be able to survive that." He muttered Zara's eyes widened and she stared up at Piccolo then put on a serious face and lunched herself off the lookout. Piccolo stared at her and attempted to grab at her.
"No! You can't save him!" he yelled after missing. Zara looked over her shoulder.
"There is no way I'm losing Trunks as well today!" she yelled back and then she was gone. Piccolo looked around but couldn't see her anywhere so he returned his gaze to the small seaside town.
Gotenks had tightly closed his eyes as the blast hurtled towards him. He felt someone grab him and pull him away from the wall. This confused him so he opened his one good eye.
Zara had appeared right next to him as he was waiting to be hit by the blast and had tugged him out before teleporting safely away. Now the two of them were above and behind Buu. Zara glared at him as the blast blew and instantly killed earth's last army.
"Buu…" Zara muttered and Gotenks stared up at her.
"Hey, ya mind taking us outta here!" he said, trying to keep quiet so Buu wouldn't hear but Zara ignored him, her eyes gaining a red haze and she shifted him into a one arm hold while she lifted the other above her head, charging up a blast.
"HEY BUU!" She yelled as it got bigger and Gotenks's eyes widened.
"What are you, crazy?" he cried but again she ignored him and watched as Buu turned round and spotted them.
"Got something for ya!" she yelled again and threw the blast before disappearing once more.
Buu stared up at the blast and raised his hands to defend himself but it didn't do any good. The blast blew as soon as it touched him, wiping out his whole left side and a good chunk of his torso.
Back on the lookout, Zara dropped Gotenks and stared to walk off. Gotenks glared at her.
"Hey I'm injured here! Crazy onna no ko." he complained and Zara looked over her shoulder at him.
"Stop your whining. Its your own fault anyway." She said hotly, obviously she still hadn't forgiven him for what he had said before. He frowned at her.
"Maybe but I still took Buu on and lived so I was still right." Zara turned and glared at him.
"If I hadn't stepped in then you would be dead now and I'd be down two friends! And you were not right because you pounded you into a bloody pulp!" she cried then turned round.
"Yea…well-" a bright light engulfed Gotenks when he was half way through his comeback and two very injured demi-saiyans fell out of it.
"Ow! Why do I ache so badly?" Trunks asked as he held his injured arm. Goten bit his lip through the pain.
"We did something stupid, didn't we?" Goten asked as he raised a hand to his black eye. Zara's face softened as she looked back at them.
"Yea you did something stupid. You took on Buu and managed to insult me and Piccolo." She said then looked round just as Piccolo and Dende came rushing towards them. Dende quickly got down and healed the boys and Piccolo turned to Zara.
"How did you get that kind of power?" he asked. Zara blinked.
"What?" she asked and Piccolo grabbed her roughly.
"You blew away most of Buu! How did you do that? From what I've been sensing off of you before there was no way you could do that much damage to him! How did you do it?" he yelled again and Zara felt all eyes on her. She couldn't remember taking a chunk out of Buu…
She looked at everyone with her golden orbs that no longer had a red haze over them then looked back at Piccolo.
"I…I must have got a lucky shot in." she managed to mumble as she yanked her arm away. Piccolo didn't have a chance to finish questioning her for now Bulma and Chichi were running round the corner with the rest of the gang. Piccolo frowned at them then looked back at Zara who had already vanished without a trace. Piccolo frowned then looked back over at the boys that were now being hugged tightly by their mothers.
"We'll try the fusion again but as super saiyans next so get ready." He said then walked off.
An hour later and Piccolo had finished lecturing the boys about using their head in a fight and it was time to try the fusion in super form.
Both of the boys powered up to where Goku had told them before and got into the starting position. They quickly looked round at the crowd in front of them. Everyone was in the same places they had been in the time before with Piccolo in the front and Zara by her tree with her head down and in what could only be called the 'Vegeta pose'. The boys finished looking at everyone then nodded to the other and started the dance.
Once they were done the ever-cocky Gotenks stood there with a huge smirk and looking perfect in his new fused form.
"This time Buu should be a breeze!" he said as soon as the light had completely gone. Piccolo shook his head.
"Wait, this time you should test your abilities before going after him. We need to be sure you're ready." He said as he stepped forward. Gotenks just pretended to yawn.
"Fine, if you say so Piccy. But I still say I can easily take on Buu!" Gotenks said confidently but his face fell as Zara put in her two cents.
"You mean like you did last time?" she innocently said without even bothering to look up. Gotenks frowned at her.
"Yea, well like you could do better, Zar-zar." He said then looked back at Piccolo.
"Well I better be off to show you my full abilities." Gotenks quickly said with a bow before charging up his aura and taking to the air and diving off the lookout. Piccolo growled and followed.
"Great, he's just as hot headed as before." He mumbled as he went top speed after the rapidly disappearing gold blur that was Gotenks. Piccolo frowned again and was nearly knocked out of the sky by a red blur going twice his speed and looking like it would easily catch up to Gotenks.
"What in the world?" Piccolo asked as he stopped and stared after it.
Gotenks laughed to himself as he flew along, cities and islands zipping by underneath him.
"Like to see Piccy keep up with me now!" he said and glanced other his shoulders. He frowned at what he saw.
Behind him was Zara with her red aura blazing. She was hot on his heels and didn't look like she was tiring out. He looked forward again.
"So you think your fast huh?" he yelled for her to hear, "well let's see you keep up with this!" he finished and flared his aura out more, bursting forward and instantly losing her. Gotenks laughed as he looked over his shoulder again before going on to circle the globe eight times and then land in a rocky desert area and lie down on a rock.
"Might as well rest here and catch a tan while I wait." He said and laughed again and closed his eyes...
After five minutes a shadow covered him. He sat up and frowned.
"What happened to the sun?" he mumbled before spotting who was standing over him.
"Oh it's you." He muttered and looked away. Zara frowned at him.
"You could have at least waited to see what Piccolo had in mind." She said not moving from her spot with her arms folded across her chest.
"And where would the fun it that be?" he asked then looked up at her. "And how'd you get here so fast?" he asked.
"You know I pride my self in my speed." She said, still frowning. Gotenks shrugged it off.
"So you're fast, big deal. I'm still faster." He said smirking, making Zara roll her eyes.
"I guess you just proved that then. But you haven't shown how strong you are yet." She said hotly making Gotenks laugh.
"Can't you sense how strong I am? Or does being a girl stop you from sensing stuff like that?" he asked. Zara glared and kicked him.
"Shut it." She said and looked up to see an angry Piccolo descending into their spot.
"I'll deal with you later Zara, but you Gotenks! How dare you just take off like that!" he yelled the last part and Gotenks just rolled his eyes.
"Yea, yea Piccy. I know. I'm in 'deep trouble'. But at least I showed you just how great I am so unless you have anymore tests, I'll be on my way." the fused warrior said as he jumped to his feet. Piccolo frowned at him.
"You only have five minutes left. It'll take you that long just to find him. There's no point in going over there." Piccolo said but Gotenks laughed.
"Yea right, I have plenty of time to beat that blob up. See ya in a few!" Gotenks said before taking to the air. Zara went to follow but Piccolo grabbed her shoulder just in time.
"Don't. We can only hope the fusion wears off before he gets to Buu." Piccolo said and Zara frowned.
Gotenks flew full speed towards the house that Buu had built for himself. He landed on a hill just outside of it and pointed at the house as he yelled.
"Hey! Majin Buu! I want a re-match right now! Get out here you fat tub of fat!" as soon as he had finished the usual white light engulfed him and there stood Trunks and Goten in their super forms in the exact same position Gotenks had been in before he had defused. Both boys looked confused at each other.
"Who out there? Buu make you gone!" Buu's voice came from the little house making both boys' confused faces twist into a look of fear before they took off at full speed. If they had been there a moment longer then they probably would have heard a second voice as Buu's head popped out of the door.
"Don't worry about it Buu, I'm sure it was nothing. Do you want some more macaroni?"
By the time the Boys got back to the lookout, Piccolo was fuming worse than before.
"Where have you two been? You've been gone for hours!" he yelled but both boys plodded past him.
"Not now Piccolo, we're exhausted." Trunks mumbled as he led the way to the building where Zara was leaning against the doorframe.
"How'd the fight with Buu go?" she asked with an innocent face, already knowing the answer.
"Shut up…" Goten mumbled as they past making the girl grin. They deserved it after the way Gotenks had treated her.
Roughly an hour later, Zara walked out from the building after having a heavy work out. Feels like I worked up a saiyan sized appetite. She thought happily as she walked out.
She met up with Piccolo outside and she grinned again.
"Stop that. We need to wake up the boys and work out how we'll get Gotenks to train." He muttered. Zara tried to get rid of the grin but couldn't.
"Right. This I gotta see." She said and turned to find where the boys were sleeping but was stopped by a scream.
"What in the world?" Piccolo asked as both he and Zara ran round to the side of the lookout. What they saw was gave them a huge shock.
Buu stood there but he looked different. He was a lot thinner and was no longer wearing the cape and waistcoat but instead just the white baggy trousers. He no longer wore gloves but black wristbands instead and his boots had changed as well. He now wore black bands round his ankles with brown shoes similar to the ones Piccolo normally wore.
He looked round at the crowd of people that had gathered and smirked.
"I want to fight the strong Guy." He said.
......
Uh oh, looks like Buu has found where the gangs been hiding. How are they going t cope with the monster? And what's happened to Buu? Find out next time!
