Thanks for the reviews.
& Everything about Zara's powers will be explained eventually. You'll see.
Chapter 28: lost hope
Gotenks stared Buu out with a smirk slowly creeping across his face. His super three form was definitely impressive and he was about to show everyone on the lookout just how impressive it was.
Buu watched Gotenks carefully. Gotenks's new transformation had surprised him but after being cut up he had gotten over it.
The monster moved his feet shoulders length apart then sprung forward. Gotenks grinned and dived forward to meet Buu in a blaze of punches moving to fast for the spectators to see.
Buu blocked an overhead attack from Gotenks then spun round to kick the fused boy through a tower. Gotenks frowned and rebounded off of a piece of rubble before it fell and planted a hard hit on Buu's jaw. The blow sent the monster flying and through the floor and out of the bottom of the lookout. Buu spun around in mid air and flew back up, though the lookout, making another hole and managed to catch Gotenks off guard and throw him through another part of the lookout.
Piccolo looked round wide-eyed as he watched the lookout be destroyed.
"Not the lookout!" he was saying and Zara looked up at him.
"It'll be ok. We will be able to get those dragon ball things, right?" she asked and Piccolo nodded.
"I know, but it's the principal! It's holy!" Piccolo cried but was cut short as Gotenks and Buu, now underneath the lookout, threw themselves through the tower that was holding the palace up in the air. The lookout began to tilt to the side as it fell, leaving Zara and Piccolo to float in the air, watching it fall.
Gotenks was still battling it out with Buu. Buu was sending kicks and punches at him in rapid succession and Gotenks was easily dodging. Gotenks smirked as he got over confident and Buu managed to land a hit onto the boy's jaw, sending him backwards, towards his friends.
Gotenks managed to stop himself in time and looked over at Buu.
"Guess he's better than I though." He said and smirked. Piccolo just stared at where the lookout had been before it vanished beneath the clouds in complete shock. Zara looked up at Piccolo and nudged him then looked at Gotenks.
"Just don't get big headed." She said but Gotenks waved it off.
"Yea, yea. I know what I'm doing. Just get ready, I'm about to really heat things up." He replied and laughed before charging back at Buu.
Buu was waiting for him and flung his right fist at Gotenks who dodged it and landed an uppercut that sent the monster backwards. Gotenks flew forwards to knee the monster in the gut and then he put both palms on top of each other and both of those over Buu's head. A white light engulfed Buu and when it faded a ball was in his place.
Zara stared blankly at it and brushed the spikes that framed her face to the side.
"What…what did he just do?" she asked. Piccolo had slapped his hand to his forehead.
"Another one of his new techniques." He said in frustration and Zara looked up at him.
"There were others like that?" she asked and Piccolo nodded weakly.
"Hey! You guys! I need someone to spike this up to me! And to hurry would be nice!" came Gotenks's voice. Zara frowned and floated over.
"And how will this help?" she asked as he handed her the ball.
"You'll see, just spike it up." He said and flew higher. Zara watched him.
"Why do I get the feeling he didn't think this one through?" she muttered then threw the ball up then kicked it to Gotenks when it fell. Gotenks was waiting for it and spiked it successfully down to the ground. Zara stared after it. At this height the ball would have a huge impact.
Gotenks flew down after it, followed by the others, and hovered above the large creator that had formed.
"Oh yea, that was good. Just look at the size of that thing!" Gotenks said as he circled. Piccolo and Zara glanced at each other.
"He's still alive so don't celebrate. He's hiding and you won't last much longer." Piccolo snapped as he looked back at Gotenks. Gotenks frowned then looked at the hole. Piccolo was right.
"Come out, come out where ever you are Majin Buu! I know you're down there! Come on! I've only got ten minutes left! Then it'll take an hour to fuse again! Come on out! It's just poor little Gotenks here waiting for you!" Gotenks yelled at the creator but nothing happened. Zara frowned.
"You sure you should be telling him that? Now he knows he can wait to beat you!" she said to Gotenks who waved her off.
"Like he's smart enough. Besides, he's really impatient. Now move aside!" he shot back then raised his hands. He gathered his energy then shot a rain of blasts into the creator in an attempt to flush Buu out. Zara frowned then looked round as she noticed something out of the corner of her eye. A pink streak?
She frowned when she realised what it was and pushed Gotenks out of the way just in time for them both to miss the pink energy beam that would have turned Gotenks into a sugary treat. They both watched it disappear into the atmosphere then Gotenks pushed her off and flew to where it had come from.
"You're welcome." Zara muttered and drifted back to Piccolo.
Gotenks raced down to where Buu emerged from the rocks and hit him head on. Buu stumbled backwards then pushed himself off of the rocks to throw left and right punches at Gotenks who pushed them aside and came back with a few of his own that Buu blocked and dodged. Buu spun away from one of Gotenks's punches and turned into a spinning kick that hit Gotenks backwards and into a wall. Buu lunged at Gotenks again but Gotenks pushed himself off the wall and flew upwards. He faced Buu and took a deep breath.
"Victory cannon!" he yelled and fired a blast out of his mouth. Buu managed to dodge it and flew up to Gotenks, swinging his fist round to smack Gotenks hard across the head and send him flying to left. Gotenks turned round in the air and charged back towards Buu just as Buu charged at Gotenks. They met in the middle as their heads slammed into each other.
They both stumbled backwards and Gotenks was the first to recover. He quickly brought his hands to the side and cupped them together.
"Kamehameha!" he quickly yelled and shot the wave of energy at Buu who could not dodge in time.
When the blast subsided Buu was badly burnt and was missing an arm. Gotenks didn't waste anytime. He charged and started throwing as many combos as he could at Buu, each one hitting it's target, then landed a heavy blow to the back of Buu's head that sent the monster flying back down to the ground.
Gotenks smirked and landed in front of the crumpled Buu.
"Looks like you lose Buu. And because I'm nice I'll tell you what I'll do to you, ok? First I'll blast off all your arms and legs then beat you into a bloodier pulp then I'll…" Gotenks said and his golden aura suddenly disappeared and his hair returned to its original length and colour.
"…Blast you into oblivion. Um…what's going on?" he finished as he stared at his hands then ran one through his hair.
"Oh crud…" he muttered as he stared down at Buu who was slowly healing as he watched Gotenks. Gotenks rubbed the back of his neck.
"Well…um…how about we leave it there? It was real fun battling against you…err…bye!" the boy said before turning and was about to run away when Buu stopped him.
"Where are you going? We're not finished yet."
Gotenks shakily turned round and stared at Buu. He didn't stand a chance now! He would surely die. At least that is what he thought.
He stared at Buu as a foot implanted itself into the monster's check, causing Buu to fly backwards. Gotenks looked round and saw Zara looking at him.
"So how many times have I saved you now?" she asked and smiled. Gotenks frowned.
"Not that much. So what do we do now? I can't take him like this." He said and stared down at himself. Zara stood next to him.
"I say we fight, he can't take the two of us," she said in what sounded like confidence. Gotenks stared at her then they both turned and watched as Buu climbed out of the rubble that had once been a large rock. Gotenks watched him carefully then nodded.
"Fine, but we better beat him!" Gotenks said to her and watched her nod with a smirk that could rival Vegeta's. Gotenks smirked back then pointed at Buu.
"Hey! Majin Buu! You're finished!" he yelled but before he could finish his speech a bright light engulfed him and there stood Trunks and Goten looking clueless and staring at Buu, pointing at him.
Zara stared at them as she realised that whatever slim chance they had before had just washed away.
