Shining Friendship

Author's notes: Well, sorry for the long wait. I know. It took more than a week to get this chapter out. Well, first of all, I'd like to say sorry. But I had to go out of town, without any access to a computer. I felt terrible. Anyways, at least I got this chapter out.

^.^ Chapter 7



Goku blinked several times, having a hard time believing what had just happened. Trunks was gone, and now Buu was holding Goten by his shirt collar. Vegeta was the one to be having the hardest time. About a year ago, he had told his son that he loved him, yet now he had let him down. He couldn't even bare to think about it. "My only son..." he whispered before a small tear went rolling down his cheek.

Gohan felt bad for him. He also couldn't have beared to have a son be killed. And Goku... well, he was already pissed off. Bebidi wants to play? he thought. Well, I'll play with him. With brute force!

"Aaah... A very well job indeed, Buu! You are even better than I expected!" Bebidi clapped his hands together and laughed.

"What me do with him?" Buu asked, holding Goten, who was still being held by his shirt collar.

"I'll tell you what to do!" Goku snapped. "You leave him alone and fight me!"

"Fight you?" Buu looked at Goten, then to Goku, to then look at Goten again as if he were making some kind of a hard decision. "Okay! Me fight you!" he said. He threw Goten into the air, who was caught by Gohan. Gohan stood next to Vegeta, who was still struggling with himself and hadn't said a word.

"Gohan," Goku said. "I want you to stay here with Vegeta and take care of Bebidi. I'll take care of Buu outside."

Gohan nodded to his father, as Goku flew outside with Buu through the hole Bebidi had made earlier. "You heard him, Bebidi! Now you're going to pay!"

"Ack! Well, now, Vegeta, you needn't be so rough," Bebidi stammered. "After all, don't you have questions you may want answered?"

"No questions need to be asked and for the last time... my name is Gohan!," Gohan looked down at his unconscious brother and put him down next to a pile of crumbled metal and rocks. He glanced at Vegeta, who still hadn't said a word and his body was shaking. Gohan prepared to fight Bebidi when something popped into his mind. "Okay, so I do have a question," he said.

"Aah, see? I knew you had something bothering you," Bebidi said, rather relieved that Gohan hadn't attacked yet. He, himself, wasn't a very good fighter. Like his father and brother, he usually counted on his magic to protect himself.

"What did you do to Buu?" Gohan asked. "What did you do that made him so eager to destroy Satan City and... Trunks."

"Aah, but didn't you look around you?" Bebidi motioned to his lab. "I knew that my father, Bibidi, had created a powerful being here in the universe and that the Kaioshins had to lock him away. After that, my father was killed by them. I wanted revenge, but I couldn't do anything since Buu had been locked away and my magic wasn't so powerful back then to be able to release him. Fortunately, my brother did the job for me by releasing Buu... remember? But my brother was killed and I guessed that you humans must've killed him, seeing how powerful you are.

"I decided to have revenge, not only for my father, but for my brother also," Bebidi continued. "I also realized that Buu hadn't been killed and was living with you guys now. I arrived here on Earth a few days ago, searching for Buu. I soon found out he was in Satan City living with some old mut(A/N: Seriously, I don't know what an 'Old Mut' is. The word just popped into my head!)named Mr. Satan. So I decided to make my move during the night, where I had kidnaped Buu and brought him over to my lab. I worked hard and fast, with my chemicals and amazing technology to actually brainwash Buu into being a bad boy. After my work was completed, I wanted to test Buu. And yes, I told him to destroy Satan City. I was shocked to see Buu destroy an entire city with just one blow."

"So you made him do this!" Gohan exclaimed. "I'll break you into pieces..." But Gohan didn't have a chance to when he felt someone swoop past him and yell,

"You Bastard!!"

It was Vegeta. He was so enraged of the death of his son and was going to make Bebidi pair dearly for what he did. Vegeta punched Bebidi here and there on his face, pushing Bebidi back and back until he was against a wall. "That was my son who got killed!! It's your fault! Because of you, my son is killed!"

"Vegeta...." Gohan stared at Vegeta beat the crap out of Bebidi. Bebidi's cries echoed in his lab, making a familiar figure stir in his sleep. Goten opened one eyelid and stood up, trying to maintain his balance.

"W - What happened...?" he mumbled. He saw Vegeta punching and beating the crap out of Bebidi, while his brother, Gohan, stood by the sidelines watching the whole 'show'. And then he remembered. He remembered what happened. Trunks and Buu were on a fight and he had fallen unconscious. But where's Trunks? And Buu? What happened? Goten looked around, finding no trace of Trunks. What had happened while he was unconscious? Did Trunks win? Where was his dad? And Buu?

Where is Trunks?
