Buu and Gohan faced off. They powered up and just as the onslaught began, They were interrupted by a voice. A voice as icy cold as hell itself. A voice that stopped them in their tracks.

"Stop," it said. It was almost like they heard it in their heads. Looking over in the direction of the voice, they saw a guy with black spiky hair and a sword at his side. He held Videl hostage with a knife to her throat. Gohan gasped. The Z warriors standing by all gasped.

"Videl!" Gohan shouted. Buu grinned and took this opportunity to attack. He rushed Gohan and caught him off guard. As he was about to punch, the mysterious man appeared in front of Buu and stabbed him with his curved sword.

Now normally, Buu would laugh and knock the weakling with a mere swat of his hand. Instead, Buu slowly looked down at the blade and then back at the man. He held his stomach and fell flat on his face. The blade was stained with blood; Buu's blood. Everyone stared in amazement. The stranger had killed Buu.

"Whoa, how did you do that?" Gohan asked the stranger, a little shorter than Gohan, just laughed. His voice was still as icy cold as ever.

"Gohan, get away from him!" Goku shouted.

"Huh?" as he spoke, the man swung his blade and slashed Gohan across the cheek, cutting deep into his skin. Gohan was forced to look over in the direction where the guy had been standing. Videl laid in a pool of blood. The moment he saw this, Gohan became enraged and horrified. He glared at the guy with intense Sayjin hatred, but all the villain did was throw his had back and laugh. Gohan clinched his fist and punched the guy as hard as he could, sending him flying into the ground.

"Gohan, stop!" Goku ordered. But in his blind furry, Gohan proceeded to attack. He flew at the guy as fast as he could, but he got to close and the guy kicked him in the face. Gohan was knocked back and the man jumped up and knocked Gohan into the air. The Z warriors watched in horror as Gohan was hit from all directions from a dashing shadow. Gohan grunted every time the villain struck him one sweep at a time. Finally, the abuse stopped, and the guy reappeared right next to the spot where Gohan landed. He hit the ground and crushed it. The man stood over him with one hand on his hip, quietly laughing to himself. Goku growled at him and Goten did the same. Everyone else was amazed and speechless.

"Who are you?" Goku demanded. The villain drew his sword and hled it perpendicular to Gohan's heart.

"My name is Shadow," he said. "I'm here to kill you." Goku screamed as Shadow drove the sword through Gohan's heart.
