Thanks for reviews. & Hopefully next chapter should be more original. Oh & I think I'll make a small change here. What happened in the series with the evil Buu made no sense later on so I'm going to change it.

Chapter 25: trapped

Piccolo glared at the monster before him.

"He's not ready yet. We need another day." Piccolo said but Buu growled.

"No! I want to fight the strong guy now!" Buu demanded. Zara frowned and stepped in front of Piccolo.

"You heard him, we need another day. Why can't you go find something else to do?" she said firmly and Piccolo pushed her back behind him.

"There are still plenty of humans on earth that you can use for amusement." He added, hoping that they would be able to wish them all back. Buu stared at piccolo the started walking round the edge of the lookout, looking down on to the blue planet beneath them.

Zara looked up at Piccolo.

"Why'd you tell him that for?" she whispered. Piccolo didn't take his eyes off Buu.

"We need to preoccupy him until Gotenks is ready." Piccolo whispered back. Zara frowned and looked back at Buu.

"What happened to him anyway?" she asked after a while.

"He transformed." Piccolo replied making Zara roll her eyes.

"No der." She muttered but Piccolo ignored her.

"I was watching him while we were waiting for the boys to be able to do another fusion. The people of earth had sent someone to defeat him."

"Who?" Zara interrupted.

"Hercule." Piccolo stated then continued, "He tried to beat Buu using a few cheap tricks that didn't work so he ended up making a false friendship. Eventually he managed to convince Buu to stop kiling people."

"What happened?" Zara asked as she watched Buu. Piccolo frowned.

"Man decided to show his evil side. Two thugs shot Hercule and a puppy Buu had found. Buu was able to heal them but he was furious. Something in side him snapped and consumed him and he transformed." Piccolo said as he remembered. The playful Buu had sunk to the floor in pain as if he was being attacked in his mind. Part of the pink substance he was made of had come off then engulfed him and the next thing Piccolo knew, the new Buu was standing there.

Zara watched Piccolo carefully and nodded. That explained it but she was not sure how it had happened. It didn't make much sense but she didn't have enough time to think about it however for a pink light had caught her eye.

All eyes were now on Buu who had a hand raised over his head. Floating above his hand was a pinkish ki blast. Buu concentrated and the blast started firing smaller blasts down at the earth: one for every person on the planet.

No body could do anything but stare and as soon as Buu was done he turned to Piccolo.

"There's no one left. Bring me the strong guy."

Piccolo hesitated then sent a telepathic message to two of the people on the lookout.

Zara, Krillen, go wake the boys. Then Krillen can take them to the hyperbolic time chamber. Zara looked up at him then over at Krillen and they both ran to where the boys were sleeping while Piccolo tried to keep Buu busy.

Krillen got into the room first and started shaking Goten while Zara stayed by the door, looking anxiously back at where Buu was.

"Hurry up Krillen." Zara said and Krillen growled.

"Well you could help. You should know that saiyans are such deep sleepers that it's nearly impossible to wake them up." He snapped and Zara looked at the boys then quickly walked towards them.

"Move over and let me try. I have an idea and they're not going to like it." She said before placing a hand on both boys' chests. Krillen stepped back and watched.

Zara concentrated and soon she was shocking both boys with 100 volts of electricity. They both jumped up as they got shocked and Zara stepped back, grinning.

"What you do that for?" Trunks yelled as he glared.

"Yea, that hurt!" Goten added. Krillen quickly stepped forward.

"Would you two keep it down, she had no choice. We needed to wake you up!" Krillen whispered urgently. Both boys looked confused and stared at the other two.

"What are you talking about?"

"Buu's here and he wants to fight Gotenks." Zara said and glanced back in the direction Buu was in. Goten hopped off the bed.

"Well what are we waiting for? Lets get out there!" he said but Krillen shook his head.

"Not so fast guys. Buu has gotten a lot stronger then when you last saw him. Gotenks won't be able to take him. That's why Piccolo wants me to take you to the hyperbolic time chamber to train." Krillen quickly explained. The boys looked confused.

"Hyper…what?" they asked and Krillen had to refrain from slapping his forehead.

"It's a room where you can do a years worth of training in a day now hurry up, Buu won't wait forever!" Krillen said and started to lead the way. The others quickly followed. Krillen looked over his shoulder to check then stopped.

"Zara, you're not going with them." He said. Zara frowned.

"Why not? They might need some help." She said but Krillen shook his head.

"No Zara, Piccolo will need our help more. I'm only showing the boys where to go then I'll be back up there with the others, this is just for the boys." He said and the others looked back at her.

"Don't worry about it. We'll get strong enough to beat him." Trunks said and quickly ran off with Krillen. Goten started to follow.

"Yea, no sweat. We won't need you!" he yelled over his shoulder leaving Zara to fume. She was getting really tired of people underestimating her because she was a little girl…

She walked back to the front of the lookout and looked around. Buu was now sitting on the floor, staring at an hourglass while everybody else stayed inside. Everybody except Chichi.

Chichi stormed out of the building along with cries like 'no Chi, don't do it!' and she stopped right next to Buu.

"Hey, You! I have a bone to pick with you! You killed my Gohan! And you're now making my other son fight you! Well I've had enough!" she yelled. Buu casually glanced at her.

"Do you like eggs?" he asked. Chichi stopped glaring at him and donned a look of utter confusion.

"What?" she asked and Buu head tentacle pointed at her and the usual pink light shot out of it, hitting her. In a matter of seconds Chichi no longer stood there but instead laid an egg. Buu stared at it then got up and stepped on it.

Zara could barely contain herself. Buu was going too far. He had already gone over the line and was now to far over it to even see it. Chichi may have been annoying at times but she had not deserved that.

Buu looked towards Piccolo who was staring at the egg near the entrance of the building.

"This is pointless. I want to fight the strong guy NOW!" Buu yelled. Piccolo looked to the side to see Krillen jogging towards them. In the amount of time it took Krillen to get from the time chamber to the group several hours would have taken place in the chamber. But Piccolo wasn't sure if it was enough.

"Fine. Follow me." Piccolo said and turned around.

Goten, Trunks! I'm taking Buu to the time chamber but I'm going the long way. You better keep training.

Inside the time chamber, the boys looked up as Piccolo's voice entered their heads.

"OK Piccolo." Trunks said then looked at his friend. "You ready to go again?" he asked and Goten nodded.

"Oh yea! Buu won't stand a chance against what we've got planned!" the younger boy said happily before they both got back to their training.

Piccolo lead Buu through the labyrinth of stairs and corridors that made up the lookout with the rest of the Z gang following well behind the monstrous Buu. It took about fifteen minutes to get there by the long route, which probably had given the boys enough time. At least that was what Piccolo hoped.

Piccolo stopped in front of the door to the hyperbolic time chamber and turned to face Buu.

"He's in there." Piccolo said. Buu just stared at Piccolo who ended up opening the door and leading the way inside, shutting it as soon as Buu had stepped through.

Zara came down the long, winding staircase first and stared at the door. It's all up to you now she thought as the others slowly filed into the room.

The hyperbolic time chamber was a seemingly endless white room with a small building in the centre. Buu slowly stepped out of that building and looked around. The gravity was heavier and the air thinner and not far in front of him stood Goten and Trunks with their arms folded across their chests and smirks spread widely across their faces.

"'Bout time you got here Majin Buu!" They said in unison as he walked in. Buu frowned.

"You boys are the strong guy?" He asked. They both nodded.

"You end here Buu!" they once again said together and got into their starting positions. Buu frowned and charged, punching Trunks hard across the jaw and sending him backwards. The demi-saiyan quickly jumped to his feet again.

"Hey! I wasn't ready yet! Don't you know you have to wait? Go over there and we'll tell you when to start fighting!" Trunks yelled and Buu obeyed. Trunks got back into position and started the dance.

"Fu…sion…Haa!" the usual bright light engulfed them and as soon as it went Gotenks could be seen standing there in his normal form.

"Ready for our re-match?" he asked but didn't wait for an answer. He just charged forwards and punched Buu hard across the face but Buu didn't move.

"Hey, are we gonna do this or what?" Gotenks asked angrily. Buu just stared down at him.

"You said you would tell me when to fight." The monster said to the boy. Gotenks mentally slapped himself.

"Well, you can fight now." He said annoyed and Buu crouched down to his level and pulled back his fist and quickly hit Gotenks who flew backwards.

Great…he must think he's real funny Gotenks thought and turned himself around in the air. Gotenks charged forward just to get hit backwards by Buu. He frowned and kept charging at Buu just to get hit back. Gotenks growled and transformed to his super state and quickly charged one last time and this time was fast enough to hit Buu round the head with a hard kick, which sent the monster backwards. He went in for another attack but Buu turned round and grabbed Gotenks's fist. Gotenks growled and tried to punch Buu with his other fist but the monster grabbed that one too and kneed Gotenks hard in the gut then tossed him aside like a rag doll. Gotenks frowned at Buu.

"Fine. Guess I'll have to test out my new moves on you then Buu." He said and rushed at Buu.

Gotenks had so many new moves it was ridiculous. There were so many of them and none of them had any affect on the monster. By the time he had finished, Piccolo had slapped his hand to his forehead. Gotenks saw this and stopped the fight and flew over to Piccolo.

"We need to talk." He said and dragged the Namek round the corner by the cape.

"Don't you think I can win this?" he asked once he had successfully dragged Piccolo round the corner. Piccolo frowned.

"Not if you keep that up. Get serious!" the Namek said making Gotenks frown.

"I am serious!" he said.

"More serious then that!" Piccolo snapped then looked to the side as Buu appeared.

"Enough talking!" the monster said and Gotenks smirked.

"Sure big guy. I only have one more move I want to try out." The fused warrior said before crouching over slightly. He concentrated and slowly spit out five white things that looked like little ghost versions of himself. Gotenks smirked.

"Ok guys, charge!" Gotenks yelled and pointed at Buu. All of the little ghosts grinned and sped towards Buu.

Buu dodged them all then looked round to see them all circling back. Buu frowned and tried to hit one away but it blew up as soon as he touched it, causing his hand to get blown away. Buu stared startled at it then before he knew it he had all the ghosts clinging off of him before they all exploded, taking Buu with them. Gotenks looked round and smirked. There was no sign of Majin Buu.

"Alright! They did it!" Gotenks yelled and Piccolo stepped forward.

"Good job. Now we better start blasting all these things away." He said as he pointed to all of the Buu blobs that were littering the ground. Gotenks nodded and joined Piccolo in destroying Buu's remains. When they were done, Gotenks grinned.

"Oh yea, that was easy. I knew I could do it!" He gloated but Piccolo wasn't ready to start celebrating yet.

"I don't think it's over yet. I can still sense something." The Namek said as he looked up. Gotenks shook his head.

"You imagining things, Piccy. Buu's gone. I beat him." Gotenks said before noticing where Piccolo was looking and looked up as well.

High above them was a pink cloud. The smoke from the blasts had collected there and now it was taking shape again.

"I can't believe it…" Gotenks muttered.

"I know. He's coming back from being blasted into mere molecules!" Piccolo said as he watched the gas join together to make Buu a new body.

Piccolo looked over at Gotenks.

"You think you can do those ghosts again?" he asked and Gotenks grinned and stepped forward, towards the newly formed Buu.

"Hmm…oh no! I can't seem to use that attack anymore!" Gotenks said over dramatically. Piccolo growled in frustration.

"What?" he cried.

"I said I don't think I can do that attack again." Gotenks said more frustrated this time. Piccolo dropped his head. There was only one thing he could think to do.

As Buu stepped towards Gotenks, a violent tremor nearly knocked both fighters off their feet and when they looked round Piccolo was standing with his arm still out stretched and the entrance to the chamber in ruins.

On the Out side, Zara stared bewildered at the door.

"What happened?" she asked as it slowly disappeared. Popo was the one to answer.

"Piccolo has sealed them all in there." He said quietly Zara spun round and stared at him before running to where the door had been.

"Trunks!"

......

Oh no, Piccolo has trapped himself and Gotenks inside the hyperbolic time chamber with a monster! Will they ever escape? Find out next time!"
