Super Saiyan Aftermath

Chapter 16 Evil's New Face

"Goku, I'm going to get Gohan and Vegeta back. All I have to do is slaughter some wizards. Once they're gone, King Yemma will let me talk to the Supreme Kai about getting them back as a reward for this task." Cable said.

"You wish to speak to me?" A new voice from behind said. Both Gokus and Cable whirled to see who it was. Cable's jaw lowered slightly at the sight. Kibito-Shin stood directly in front of Cable.

"Yes, your greatness. King Yemma appointed me the task of taking out the wizards Bibidi and Babidi. They caused the recent mix up with Cell. Anyway, as payment for this task, I wanted to get Gohan and Vegeta to be brought back into existence."

"They still exist. They are on another plain, or not another plain. They are in unreality. A space between dimensions. No dimensions are there, not even time, hence the name. But to be brought back from there requires a Kai to be sacrificed. And I'm sure no Kai would volunteer to spend eternity in nothingness."

"Then I have no reason to hunt these wizards."

"Very well, I'll see what I can do."

"Thank you." With that, the Supreme Kai vanished. Cable looked about, then looked at the ogre. "Let's go to Hell." The ogre offered Cable a Senzu bean with one hand and grabbed Cable's free hand with his own. They teleported to a dreary place with spikes for boundaries. Cable wolfed down the bean and looked around. Finding some power levels he took off to the nearest one. As he landed, he saw a figure walk out from behind a rock.

"Where are the wizards Bibidi and Babidi?" Cable asked in a demanding tone.

"Why should I tell you? I don't take orders from anybody, I was the stro-" the voice was cut off as Cable appeared no more than a foot away from him. Cable looked him up and down, realizing who it was.

"Well, Frieza. If you don't tell me, I'll rip your tail of and strangle you with it."

"Hahaha, I'd like to see that." Frieza said, smirking. With horror he realized Cable was absent. He knew what to do, but wasn't quick enough as a powerful grip grasped his tail. With a slowly tightening grip, Cable slowly turned the tail as well. "All right! He's that way! Look for 17's ki signature!" Frieza cried out.

"If I find out you lied to me, I will continue my plan for you." Cable took off without waiting for a response. Cable attempted to feel for 17's ki. Realizing what he was doing was stupid, android's don't have ki. But he could look for a fight with only one person. He felt two weak ki's trying to run. Cable flew at top speed, he wanted to end the wizards lives, for their second time. As he began to get close, he felt a new power. It wasn't strong, but it was growing fast. Landing in front of 17, Cable looked at him and shook his head.

"Get out of my way, Saiyan!" 17 shouted angrily. Just as Cable was going to respond, he sensed a strong ki behind him, attacking. Cable ducked it in time, but 17 took the blast fully. When the dust cleared, he was expanded! His body slowly returned to its normal state. Cable turned around and saw a pink creature with deep black eyes with pink pupils. The creature was tall, taller than Cable. It wore white pants that seemed to be several times wider than need be. On his belt he wore an "M".

17 was about to rush forward when the pink creature flew forward at unimaginable speeds. It flew clear through 17, breaking him in half. Then as 17 was falling, the creature fired a huge wave from each hand, eliminating 17. The creature turned towards Cable. It then looked to the wizards questioningly. They nodded and the creature flew at Cable. Cable didn't have time to react. A pink fist drove into his gut, knocking the wind out of him. Cable's eyes were wide with shock. The creature grabbed Cable's arm and twirled fast, letting go when Cable was coming down.

Cable's body plowed into the rocks below, coming to rest with his head on a rock the size of his upper body. The thing slammed its foot into Cable's head which shattered the rock. The creature went back to the wizards smiling. They cooed and laughed. The creature seemed to enjoy the compliments.

Cable stood up slowly, pebbles falling from him. "What the hell is that thing?" He asked nobody in particular.

"This? This is Majin Buu, the second. The perfect. You see, your fight with Cell powered this whole operation. Every hit either one of you landed powered it a bit more. Every bit of energy usage. And both of your power combined, plus the power from the Super Saiyan Fives and the Fusion all went to this. And we must say, you are very strong. But you can't win. Buu, get him!" Babidi shouted, Bibidi nodding the whole time. Buu rushed forward, dust flying up in his wake. Cable powered up, his hair standing up, not quite transformed. He wanted to test the strength of the beast before going all out.

Buu got to Cable and threw a fast punch, which Cable attempted to block, but failed. The fist hit him in the gut, again. Buu whirled, performing a roundhouse kick that sent Cable flying. Buu flew overhead, staying even with Cable as he flew backwards. Buu fired a large wave of energy, slamming Cable into the ground, making a rather large crater. Buu landed off to the side, smirking.

Cable's hand reached out of the crater, gripping the ground. He heaved himself over the side. He looked on at Buu with fury. Cable powered up to Legendary Super Saiyan. He rushed forward, punching Buu in the head, denting it. He then twisted around and with the same hand he backhanded Buu, denting his slim head. Cable kicked Buu in the back, cutting through him. Cable then spun and used his other leg and momentum to kick the upper half of Buu away. As Cable's other leg landed, he backflipped, pushing self through the air. As he began his descent, he fired a Crisis Wave. The blue sparkling attack washed away Buu's upper half.

Cable turned his head towards the wizards and looked at them menacingly. Cable started forward, but heard a bubbling sound. He turned to see Buu's legs jump upward. The top of them looked like it was boiling. Then more pink shot upward, with no definite form. Appendages came out from the side, and the top narrowed a bit. Then the oozing pink seemed to stop moving and then it took shape. Buu was back, and he was smiling.

"What power!" Cable said what he was thinking. He might even be stronger than me! Cable thought to himself that time. Cable pushed himself at the pink monster. Buu smiled as he jumped on Cable's shoulder and formed an energy ball. He brought it down before Cable could react. There was a blinding explosion, and Cable's body flew out of it, landing on the ground, several yards away. As he looked up, he saw Buu striding forward at a slow gaunt. Cable shakily stood up, only to be punched in the face and sent flying away. Buu's face ended up being where Cable's was former to the punch.

A black beam of energy shot from the rock face that Cable was in. It hit Buu and ripped through him at the middle. His top half turned around and looked angrily at Cable. It melded itself with the bottom, which turned liquid than solidified, facing the other way. Cable looked on questioningly. How much do I have to do?! Cable thought. He rushed out of the mountain, making it shatter. Buu smiled. His gut area stretched and thinned. Cable threw a punch, which Buu dodged. Cable launched a barrage of punches, none of which landed. Cable powered up a blast in his hands. He forced a wave to blast out, which was fairly undodgeable.

Cable jumped backwards to be safe, and sure enough, Buu reformed himself. Cable brought his aura back, and powered up again. A beam can't win, it's not thick enough, but maybe if I can make a wave stronger.. Cable thought to himself. Cable's hands were together at his side, fingers on wrists. The blue ball of energy forced them apart a little bit. Cable continued to strengthen it, forcing his hands apart completely.

"Crisis Wave!" Cable shouted. His blue beam pouring outward as if a dam was destroyed. The sparkling blue moved forward particularly slow. Buu smirked as he put his hands to his side. He was doing some sort of self developed attack. Buu brought out his hands, cupped over and under. A white wave rushed outward, with black energy bolts running all over it. The beams met, somewhat closer to Buu than Cable. But it wasn't to be. Buu's wave grew more intensified with every second. Soon it was forcing Cable's back to him. Cable loosed of his power into his wave, making Buu's pale in comparison.

Buu saw this and smirked. Cable was happy with himself for a few moments. Until Buu put even more in. Cable's beam was outgunned completely. Cable formed several spirit balls out of his aura, and they immediately rushed Buu. One beam ripped his left leg off at the knee, another his left arm at the elbow. One smashed into his face, another through his midsection. The final one tore through his right shoulder, ripping the arm off. Cable looked on in horror as Buu's wave hadn't lessened at all. His arms were still floating there pushing the attack!

Cable made more spirit balls, exhausting his power. His beam would fail in seconds. The spirit balls wrapped around Buu's wrists and tightened into the ring. Buu watched with intrigue as the ring tightened. It cut his hands off at the wrist, not what Cable wanted to happen. With his mind, Cable force the balls to explode. Buu's beam was cut off and Cable's wave was rushing at Buu. Buu quickly remade his hands and prepared another attack. As he let it fly, Cable noticed it was far more intensified than before. Buu's white blast ripped through Cable's without slowing.

Cable closed his eyes as he was surrounded by energy. His skin seemed to seer off the bone. He was in utter agony, being pushed backwards while still inside the wave. He couldn't move at all. The terrible thing about it was, his brain never blocked out the pain. All the agonizing while, as he died, Cable could feel every ounce of the searing hot energy. Come on! You can beat this, Cable! This Buu creature can't match up to your Saiyan might! Once you get out of this, you will crush every Majin! Cable couldn't identify the voice in his head. Then with a sudden realization, he knew it was his own voice that spurred him onward. Believe and you shall conquer all, doubt and you shall fall forever. Cable's mind told him.

Cable opened his eyes to blinding light and searing heat. He pushed the pain aside and attempted to draw power. From somewhere, he gained enough strength to transform. His aura rose and it pushed the wave away from him. It ran on both sides of Cable not touching him anymore. Cable smiled, glad to have the pain lightened. He still hurt, but by his self check, him looking himself over, he seemed to be okay.

"Majin Buu!" Cable shouted, his voice resonating anger. "I'm going to kill you!" Cable rushed from a long ways away towards the incredible energy. He and Buu rushed at each other, neither landing a hit, but Buu had the upper hand, Cable was on the defensive for a while. Buu drove a fist at Cable, which surprisingly was caught.

"Kaioh Ken Attack!" Cable's silver aura turned a light red, and expanded greatly. Cable's power soared, while his ki dipped. Buu looked on in wonder as Cable brought the fight right back to him. Cable landed a punch in Buu's face. Buu bent backwards, exposing his gut which Cable hit with a full punch. Buu doubled forward. Cable punched Buu's face back, and this time he continued on the face, rising in the air so he could keep hitting it. Cable knocked Buu down and kept beating Buu's face through the ground. Cable jumped back.

Cable fell to his knees, gasping for breath. Cable realized that if he's going to win, he will have to drain all of Buu's energy. But to do that, Cable would have to have more in reserve, and he was pretty sure he didn't. The rocks stirred in front of Cable, then there was an explosion as Buu stood in the center, head tilted, wide grin across his face. His power hadn't decreased at all. In fact he was stronger now, it felt. Cable knew he had no chance at all now.

"Buu! I don't care if you're a million times stronger than me, I promise you, I will win!!" Cable shouted, now on his feet. His aura pushed outward. Believe! Cable rushed Buu, leading with his left hand, right to the outside, ready to slam into Buu. As Cable got close enough, Buu jumped backwards, attempting to kick Cable on his way. Cable grabbed the foot and threw him up higher. As Buu flew upward, Cable prepared his attack. "SUPERNOVA!" Cable shouted, his beam slamming Buu when he neared the top of the arc of his fall.

The attack ripped into Buu, and instead of ripping through him, Cable changed it so it would disperse all over Buu's body, enveloping him. Believe! Cable poured more and more energy into the blast. Buu screamed in agony, his aura directed in front of him to quell the raging beam that threatened to destroy his very being. Buu loosed more energy than Cable believed possible. His aura-turned-shield cut the beam off. Cable stopped putting in energy, conserving whatever he could. He didn't even know where he got what he had, but he believed. For now.

"Ahem, Saiyan. With us alive, you made a mistake. We have been gathering energy from the battle. Buu, come here." A voice from behind that had to be one of the damn wizards that summoned Buu. Buu obediently obliged. Cable tried to intercept him, but was knocked away. His body spiraled downward, into the ground. He slid across the ground, cuts ripping into his skin from the jagged ground. Cable didn't bother trying to get up. The wizard he thought to be Bibidi, handed Buu a pointed pot. Buu stabbed himself with the pot, his body buffing up. The appendage on the top of his head grew longer, down to beyond his the back of knees.

Buu's power soared. His thin arms became wider, looking muscled. His body also thickened. Buu grew a nose as well. He looked over at Cable, and smiled. Buu walked towards Cable slowly. Cable could feel the evil it was so palpable. Cable rolled onto all fours. Cable stood up slowly. His body screamed in protest. Believe! Cable thought subconsciously. I can't win. He's just too strong. His conscious thought argued. Believe! You have to win! Deep thought countered. I just can't do it. He'll smash me. I don't have what it takes. He thought.

Buu hit Cable across the face. It knocked him away at high speed. He hit the mountain side, and flew clear through it. His body skidded across the ground. Blood was seeping from several wounds. A pool was forming around his body. Cable dropped out of Super Saiyan. His eyes watered. His first real loss. He couldn't compete. No way at all. Cable's Saiyan armor was not there anymore. His gi was tattered. Buu's power was unfathomable. Energy couldn't drop. Not with the attacks he was using. If he powered up to half of his max, planets would shatter. If the wizards wanted, they could take over existence, it seemed.

"I won't let that happen. As long as there's a breath in my body, I will win!" Cable said to nobody. Cable slowly got to his feet. Rage began to course through him. How can I lose?! I am a Saiyan! I must be able to win! Cable attempted to power up, but the strain made him collapse. Cable's thoughts flowed through his mind freely. The Saiyans being destroyed. Piccolo, the forgotten. Tien, Yamcha, Krillen. Bulma, Chichi. Hercule. Scientists that made life possible everywhere. People that had fun. Smiling. Family...MOTHER FATHER! I won't let them leave this realm too!

Cable flipped to his feet. His aura appeared and he transformed immediately. He sensed Buu moving. "SUPER KAIOH KEN ATTACK!" Cable screamed. His aura becoming wide, several meters wide. His strength was no longer gone. In fact he was fine. Better than fine. He had no cuts, no bruises, no pain. No limits either. He looked above him and saw a Halo. He grinned at the thought of being dead. Now he could truly fight Buu. But Buu was stronger than Cable before. With this upgrade, it might be impossible to stop him. BELIEVE! Cable's mind shouted. "I believe!" Cable raced towards Buu.

Look! A cliffhanger! Plz R&R. It helps, a lot.
