Gotenks stared hopelessly at the remains of their only exit.
"Why did you do that?" he cried and Piccolo frowned.
"It's the only thing I could do. You said you couldn't do that attack again." He replied and Gotenks looked at him as if he were crazy.
"Can't you tell I wasn't serious?" he cried. It was now Piccolo's turn to stare.
"What? How could you be pretending at a time like this?" the Namekian yelled. Buu looked between them both.
"Are we trapped here?" he asked and Piccolo stared at him.
"Yea. That was the only exit. We're stuck here." Piccolo said dryly.
"No more candy?" Buu asked.
"No. You can't have anymore candy." Piccolo said, surprised by what eternal imprisonment made Buu think about. Buu was getting frantic.
"NO! Buu wants candy! Buu wants candy NOW!" the monster screamed at the top of his lungs, forcing the other two to block their ears.
"What's he yelling about?" Gotenks cried over Buu's screams but Piccolo didn't answer. His ears were a lot more sensitive than Gotenks so his were hurting more.
Gotenks watched as Buu kept screaming about candy and noticed a strange rift slowly appear in front of Buu. It was just a light at first but it slowly turned into a window that they could see the front of the lookout through. Buu stopped screaming when he saw it and it became safe for the others to let their hands fall away from their ears.
"What is that?" Gotenks asked. Piccolo just stared at it in astonishment.
"Oh no…it's a way out…" Piccolo said. Buu grinned evilly and dived through it in liquid form. It took some time for the other two to register what had happened before they both rushed to the gap that was quickly shrinking. Gotenks dived at it but it was too late. It had gone.
Zara was still staring at where the entrance to the time chamber had once been. It had only been a few seconds in the outside world and already everybody had filed back out.
Zara sighed heavily. She had already lost Vegeta and now her two best friends.
"Least Buu can't get out…" she mumbled then added "and maybe we can wish the others out." This thought made a small smile creep upon her face but that was quickly wiped away when a scream reached her ears.
"18?" she asked and quickly teleported herself to the top of the lookout.
She appeared round the side and quickly looked round.
Where is everyone? She wondered as she stepped forwards. She heard another scream and turned round. That one had sounded like Yamcha.
"What the heck is going on?" she asked aloud and quickly ran round the corner.
There she found Bulma backing up, shaking her head.
"Bulma?" Zara asked loud enough for the older woman to hear. She quickly looked round at Zara.
"Get out of here! NOW!" Bulma yelled just before a pink light hit her, transforming the blue haired beauty into a piece of chocolate.
"BULMA!" Zara yelled, her eyes wide as she stared at her friend's mother that was now a mere chocolate bar.
Mad laughing reached Zara's ears and she looked to the side to see Majin Buu in all his frightful glory making his way to Bulma. Zara could only watch in silent horror as he bent down and picked Bulma up and ate her.
Zara trembled as she stared at Buu, a mixture of fear and uncontrollable anger etched on to her face. She couldn't control herself.
"You monster! How could you?" she yelled at the top of her lungs. Buu spun round and stared at her before gaining a wicked grin.
"Ah yes, the little girl. How sweet you'll taste. Should Buu make you chocolate, candy or cake?" he thought out loud as he stepped towards her, raising his head tentacle. Zara glared at him then saw the tentacle light up. She only had a split second to bring up her dome shield as the candifying blast was shot towards her.
The beam hit it dead on but the shield didn't give up. Zara smiled with relief and powered up slightly just to make sure the blast didn't make it through. Buu frowned and put more power into his beam and Zara frowned back. It took up a lot of energy to keep the dome shield up under these conditions.
Buu stared at her through the pinkish shield and grinned, putting more power into the beam. The shield wavered and then started to shrink, getting darker as it did so.
"Oh shi…" Zara breathed. She was going to be crushed in her own shield if this kept up! Unless…
The shield was now engulfed in the pinkish light and when it faded all that was left was a small, round piece of chocolate. Buu smiled to himself and picked it up.
"Energy bar…" he mumbled before popping it in his mouth and chewing his chocolaty treat.
He didn't have long to enjoy it however for a foot quickly slammed itself into the side of Buu's head, knocking him sideways and through a wall.
"That was for Bulma!" Zara yelled. Buu slowly got up, out of the rubble and glared.
"How'd you escape?" he asked.
"Easy, I made a whole in the back of the shield and teleported out. You're not going to get me so easily." She said. Buu slowly grew an eerie smile.
"We'll see." He said and raised his head tentacle once more, firing off as many of his pink beams as possible.
Zara's eyes grew wide and she quickly dived to the side to avoid the first and kept rolling to avoid the others. As soon as she got to the wall she had to teleport away but Buu followed her and kept firing. She had appeared in the air several feet away from where she had been and now she was doing flips and fast turns in the air as she raced through the lookout.
"Grr, HOLD STILL!" Buu yelled. Zara rolled over so she was facing him and flying backwards as she poked her tongue out at him.
"No way blob boy!" she yelled. Buu growled and fired another blast but this time it looked like it would hit it's target. Zara gasped and a tile from the floor shot up and took the blast for her, instantly turning into chocolate. Buu growled and fired more and Zara raised more tiles with her mind, each one turning into a different type of candy and the last one became a cake.
Way to close…she thought and looked up to see Buu charging up a blast in both of his hands as well as the beam from his head tentacle.
He fired both of the hand blasts and they were both too close for Zara to be comfortable with. The first cut a few strands of hair off of her fringe and the other made a large rip in her trouser leg. She winced as she felt the disk shaped blast cut her leg and had to teleport away to avoid the pink beam.
Buu frowned as he looked round at what his blasts had done. The first two had cut the pillars on the front of the building down and his beam had turned the second pillar in to a rather large cup cake. But Zara was still alive.
He frowned and looked round again.
"Can't escape me forever girl! You're the last one left! I ate everyone else that was here! Nobody will rescue you! Not that annoying boy or the green guy! They're trapped in that place! There is nobody that can help you so be a good girl and GET OUT HERE!" Buu yelled as he looked around.
Behind the pillar that now lay on its side lay Zara. She had lowered her power level and wasn't even willing to breath. And Buu's words hit her like a knife.
I'm…I'm all that's left? No one else got away? No way! Bulma…Trunks…Goten…even Piccolo…no way! She thought, her heartbeat quickening it's pace and her eyes slowly started to glow a deep red. That's every one…man he even ate Marron! How could he! And it was his fault Vegeta blew in the first place… her heart was pumping so fast that she was certain Buu would hear it. But for some reason she didn't care. She just had to do something.
Can't lie here…Vegeta wouldn't and neither will I. Buu'll pay! She thought then jumped up, instantly putting her blood red eyes on to him.
Buu smirked and raised his tentacle again but not fast enough.
Zara disappeared and materialised next to him with a glowing foot swinging towards his face. It hit and he flew backwards, through walls. Zara appeared in his path and swung her still glowing foot up to send him through the roof just to meet him outside with a blast already over her head. She threw it at him and his whole upper body was wiped clean away. Zara landed on one of the dome roofs and glared at him as he healed right back up. He stared at her with red eyes of his own.
"You surprised me. I wasn't expecting that. You're almost as strong as the boy. Almost." He said then lunged forward. She jumped away just in time to avoid him so he punched a hole through the roof.
Buu growled and jumped at Zara again, throwing high speed punches and kicks at her that she could only block, flying backwards as she did so with Buu following. Zara frowned and managed to catch both of Buu's fists and wouldn't let go. Buu frowned and Zara powered up then blasted his arms off, still holding on to his fists that soon disintegrated.
Buu looked at where his arms had been before sprouting new ones and glaring at Zara again.
"Impressive girl. But you're still no where near my kind of power." He said. Zara glared, her eyes still glowing a blood red.
"That's a big word Buu. Did you learnt it by yourself?" she asked Buu growled and threw his fists at her twice as fast as before. Zara blocked two of the punches then received two heavy blows to both sides of her jaw before getting Buu's knees in her gut. Buu grinned and hit her hard into the building below.
Back in the time chamber, Piccolo was pacing.
"This isn't good. Who knows what that monster is doing out there? He's already had over an hour. You've been able to split and re-fuse." Piccolo said as he paced. Gotenks stared off at where the rift had been then stood up.
"Guess it's about time I used my special technique." He said and Piccolo looked round.
"That better not be as good as all those other ones." Piccolo said making Gotenks wear a Goten pout.
"It's different. And those other ones were fine." He said then set his feet shoulders length apart and hunched over slightly, clenching his fists as he did so.
"Ahh!" he screamed and continued screaming as he powered up. Piccolo brought his hands up to protect himself against the awesome power that Gotenks was producing. The Namekian couldn't believe his eyes as he watched Gotenks transform.
Gotenks's hair was growing out as his eyebrows disappeared and his eyes re-gained pupils. When he was done, super saiyan three Gotenks got up and walked confidentially to where Buu had been before he had gotten out.
"So what do ya think?" he asked and looked over his shoulder at the awe struck Piccolo.
"I'll take your trembling silence as a good then." He said after he had gotten a good look at Piccolo. He looked back at the smart and took a deep breath.
This better work! He thought and started screaming. Piccolo clamped his hands to his ears again and watched as the same light that had appeared for Buu slowly grew into a window showing the remains of part of the look out.
"What's happened?" Piccolo asked as he stared at it. Gotenks frowned and Grabbed hold of Piccolo before jumping through the gap.
"This doesn't look good." He said as he examined the wall. Piccolo looked down at him then over to a near by rock that happened to have Buu sitting on it as he stared at a pile of rubble.
"Buu…" Piccolo mumbled. Buu heard him and looked round.
"So you got out then? Good for you. We were getting worried." Buu said. Gotenks frowned.
"Who's we? And what did you do to our friends?" He asked making Buu laugh.
"I ate them. They were very tasty." He said then looked back at the rubble. A large rock had fallen off of it and Buu smirked.
"About time you got out." He said making Gotenks, who was still staring at Buu, frown.
"You already said that!" Gotenks yelled but Buu just ignored him and Flew upwards as a fiery ball that was Zara flew full speed at him as she prepared another mega kick.
"Your to predictable girl!" Buu yelled as he prepared himself for the force of the blow but when Zara kicked him a foot sliced right through.
"Am I?" she asked and Gotenks watched as she sliced through Buu at an incredible speed and then jumped backwards and blasted him away.
"And that's why you do not mess with me!" Zara yelled and Gotenks just stared at her with his mouth wide open.
"How…how did she did that?" he asked but Piccolo couldn't find an answer.
Zara looked round and spotted them an immediately her eyes turned back to their normal golden colour.
"Gotenks?" she asked then grinned. He was alive! And that meant Trunks and Goten were alive.
She grinned and flew down and nearly knocked Gotenks over in a hug.
"Thanks Kami…" she muttered then pulled away from the now shaken Gotenks.
"Err…right…well don't do that again. I've got an image to maintain." He snapped and turned away.
"What, you mean just for me and Piccolo? Yea right." She said and Piccolo stepped forward.
"Look you, start talking. I want to know how you did that and what happened to everyone else." He demanded and Zara dropped her head.
"He ate them all. I…I…can't even remember how I escaped…" she said and racked her brain for what she wanted to know. She had been hiding behind a pillar and then…
"Don't tell me you've forgotten about me." A voice said and they all slowly looked up to see Buu sitting on the same rock as before, as good as new and wearing a frown on his face.
Gotenks smirked and stepped forwards.
"Ha, looks like your not as good as you thought. Looks like it's time for the big boys to start!" Gotenks said to Zara before stepping up to Buu.
......
Looks like Zara gets pretty strong when she gets angry but why can't she remember? And how will Gotenks beat something that can bring its self back from practically nothing? Find out next time!
