Ok, I thought I better write this or I might go crazy thinking several chapters ahead and not going anywhere. It's really annoying, I keep thinking of the end of the story/evil dragon saga for some reason and I'm not even done with Bebi yet…on a different note, I have toonami back! I can watch GT and come up with new things again! Woot!

Yay, 4 reviewers!

Chico: hmm…well there is only one thing to do in this case…duck and cover and hope Kibito kai saves you! Heh, glad you liked last chapter, here's another.

Rejhan: well it looks like it, but you might be surprised…or will you? Well I can't tell so you'll have to wait and see.

Trugeta: well here's how I handle Uub, right here. You also get to see how I handle the tail…err…stretching. O.O;

RobbyT15: thanks. Here's another chapter.

Chapter 9: the next level.

Uub slowly climbed to his feet. His energy felt depleted and he was having difficulty focusing on the tyrant before him but he wasn't going to back down. He knew he didn't have a hope in the world of destroying Bebi but he was still going to try.

After all, Goku wouldn't quit and neither will I! He thought then another thought crossed his mind. He was the planets only hope. He was the strongest fighter left as far as he knew so if he were defeated here then it would all be over.

Then again there is always Pan…he thought, remembering her transformation. Maybe she could train…

"Are we going to fight or are you just going to stand there staring at me all day?" Bebi's words cut through the young man's thoughts like a knife as he was pulled back to the present. He had to be beaten before Pan would be at bat…

Uub sunk into a determined stance and stared Bebi down. Bebi smiled at his challenge and simply stood in Vegeta's usual stance.

"Well…?" Bebi asked mockingly. Uub growled through gritted teeth and lunged forward, commencing the battle.

Uub thrust his arm forward in a feint attack and then shot his left leg out in a smooth kick. Bebi blocked the kick easily and then grabbed Uub by the throat and slammed him into the ground, leaving him there. Uub weakly tried to get back onto his feet, but a heavy foot squashed him back into place.

"I hate to blast and run but I have to blast and run. It's been fun kid but my planet won't look after itself." Bebi told him and pointed to an ear piece that was resting in his right ear, knowing that Uub was unable to twist his head round to see.

Bebi smirked and pressed his boot further into Uub's spine and then stepped off and phased out of sight as he quickly took to the sky. He looked to the stiff form of Zara who was still looking at Trunks and the others in silence.

"Girl! Get out of here and find Bulma!" he ordered and Zara hesitantly did as ordered. Bebi watched her go then focused his attention on Uub. He then lifted up his arm, palm facing up, and created an apocalyptic sized ball. Bebi smirked at the pure energy swirling in a ball above his hand and then threw it with all his strength at Uub before taking off.

Whilst all this was happening, Buu had been busy with Pan. Hercule had scooped her up and had taken her to Buu who now had both palms floating above her and glowing yellow as he went to work healing her. As soon as he was done and he turned to Uub as Pan stirred.

Buu stared at the ball then flew towards it. Hercule watched him go and yelled at him to stop but Buu didn't pay any attention to him. Instead he hit the ball head on, making it explode before it could even reach Uub.

The resulting explosion sent Uub rolling onto his front as well as sending Hercule and Pan into some crates.

Uub slowly opened his eyes and gasped at what he saw. Little pieces of pink some things were falling from the sky like pink, rubbery snow. Each flake glided gently towards him and landed on his bare chest, seeming to soak into his skin.

What…or who was that? Uub wondered as he watched the flakes. What he wasn't expecting was an answer.

"Me Buu."

Buu? Uub asked and looked round for the voice. He recognised that name…

"Yes, Buu. We used to be one but then you died and came back as Uub. Now we become one again and beat Bebi."

"Wait, what?" Uub asked the flakes as he stared at the last few melting into his skin. He could feel new power running through him, healing his injuries and adding to his strength. He couldn't believe it.

Hercule and Pan sat up in the debris of the crates and stared as Uub climbed to his feet and stared at his hands. He turned them over and then allowed them to drop to his sides. The other two watched him the whole time.

"Uub? Wh…what happened?" Pan asked as she watched him. Uub was silent and then stared directly at her and Hercule and grinned.

"You two stay there. I'll be back." He told them and then took off.

Goku stared at the elder kai as he stood rigidly. The elder circled him and then stared him in the eyes.

"Son…pull down your pants!" the kai ordered, making Goku, Sugaro and Shusagoro nearly face vault into the grass. The elder groaned silently at their reactions and brought the chibi sized Goku over his knee and pulled his yellow gi pants down far enough to show Goku what the red potion was for.

At the base of Goku's spine was a furry brown monkey tail that was only an inch or two long. The elder kai pulled on it lightly to let Goku know it was there.

"That potion I gave you has the ability to fully re-grow long lost limbs or appendages like your saiyan tail here. Unfortunately it's hardly long enough to do what we need of it so Kibito here will have to assist it." The elder kai informed a pained Goku who had since jumped down from his place on old kai's lap and was stroking his short tail tenderly.

"How's he gonna do that?" Goku asked slowly, dreading an answer that involved more tail pulling. He was in luck.

"Simple. Now that it's beginning to grow then Kibito can use his healing powers to help restore it to full length. After all, since it was cut off and is now growing back, it would be rather like him healing a hole in the chest. It should be right back to full length in a matter of minutes." The elder informed them and waited for reactions to his plan.

"You sure that'll work?" Goku asked, still concerned. The elder kai frowned at him.

"Of course I'm sure! I'm a god, aren't I? What would you rather have me do? Ask for a giant pair of pliers and pull it out to full length? Don't be ridiculous!" the elder yelled at the saiyan man-boy. Goku flinched and after getting a rather painful mental picture, he decided that a kai should know best.

The elder nodded at him and set to work instructing the god and saiyan before him.

"Goku, lie down and keep your tail out. Kibito, just start healing it as if it were any other wound. I'll be over there reading my...um…reading." the old kai then walked off to his tree after a shifty look, leaving the four to work it out for themselves.

Kibito and Goku both had matching droplets of sweat rolling down the side of their head as they watched him go. They quickly snapped out of what ever they were thinking of and glanced at each other.

"So, shall we begin?" Kibito asked and Goku nodded enthusiastically as he dropped to the floor to lie down. He dropped his trousers just enough to not cover up his tail and Kibito knelt next to him. Soon the kai was concentrating with his hands hovering above the tail. Slowly the hands lit up with a golden light that radiated onto the tail, lighting it up and making it twitch.

The change in length was hardly noticeable at first but soon it had obviously grown several inches. Then it burst three inches longer. Then some more so that it could easily wrap halfway round Goku's waist. It twitched and squirmed more before the tail stretched out and into its full length.

Goku kept his eyes focused on the trees in front of him the whole time. He didn't know how long it had been but was aware that suddenly he could feel something swishing back and forth behind him. He had long since forgotten what that had felt like…

"Goku, we're done." Kibito kai's voice told him and Goku slowly turned his head to look at the kai just to be greeted by the sight of his brown, fuzzy monkey tail arched over his shoulder, staring at him like a long time friend who he had lost touch with. Goku just stared blankly at it with his mouth a gape.

Then he grinned.

He had his tail back! Now this brought back memories…

"Well…?" Kibito asked as he watched Goku with a bemused look. Goku grinned up at the kai and jumped to his feet, wagging his tail like a playful dog.

"It's great! Thanks Kibito! Now how about we go teach Bebi a lesson!" Goku asked as his grin gained a crafty quality. Kibito nodded and put his hand on Goku's shoulder.

"Gladly!" Kibito agreed, totally forgetting the plan before disappearing.

The elder kai jumped up from his tree as he watched them go.

"No! That baka!" he yelled at the spot where they had been. Sugaro looked over at him.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"That baka took Goku away before we could even tell him what he has to do to get the full power his tail has to offer!" the elder groaned. It was bad enough that Pan and Uub had decided to charge blindly into battle so they couldn't show Goku how to do it until he got it right, but now Goku was doing the same thing!

Sugaro stared at the kai.

"Oh…" he muttered. Now all they could do was pray and watch.

Bebi sat in his seat as he waved to the crowd around him. He was feeling rather smug after beating Goku and his prized pupil and had decided a celebration was in order to help bloat his ego even more. He was now in a vehicle that looked a lot like an old convertible silver car with Bulma and a robot chauffeur. He was having a parade celebrating his accomplishments, including the big move to New Plant. Bebi had it all, his enemies had been crushed and he had a planet and race. It was perfect.

At least it was until a glowing ki-blast went sailing into the front of the car…

Bebi stood up and scanned the surrounding area, trying to work out where that blast had come from. And why nobody tried to stop it…

He soon spotted Uub floating high above the crowd with a smoking hand raised and a smirk placed on his face. A sight Bebi did not want to see.

"What are you doing back so soon? I thought I killed you." Bebi spat.

"Sorry?" Uub replied sarcastically, "Maybe you shouldn't act like the traditional spy baddie." He then suggested. Bebi growled at him. There was something different about the boy and it wasn't the black waistcoat with the gold trim.

"So why are you here? Nothing major could have happened in the last ten minutes." Bebi said in a gruff voice that Uub smirked at.

"That's where you would be wrong. I'm now strong enough to take you on! And win!" Uub announced. He didn't get the reaction he had hoped for.

All the humans laughed at him and the unbelievable feat he was suggesting. Even Bebi chuckled before powering up; ruining the rest of the car and making the crowd scatter in the process.

"Prove it!" Bebi dared.

"Gladly." Uub shot back and immediately sunk into his best stance. He was going to hit Bebi fast and hard.

But wait…what's that signature…? Uub wondered before he was forced to duck. Bebi was already on top of him and dishing out every combo he could think of.

Uub flared his aura out in a rushed power up as he zipped between punches and kicks and then a few blasts. Bebi seemed to just want to get rid of every link to the saiyan problem now and Uub could understand why.

Uub leapfrogged over a punch and Bebi's head before twisting round in the air and firing a barrage of blasts at his opponent as he continued to sail backwards. Bebi turned round in the air and started deflecting but they seemed to prove to be too much as they started to hit him. Smoke clouded round Bebi and blocked him from Uub's view.

Soon the blasts stopped and Bebi decided to move out of the smoke and attack. He shot out but ended up being on the receiving end of a jump kick to the face. Uub followed his kick up with a multitude of punches to the chest, a fist to the gut and then a spin kick to Bebi's right side that sent the man plummeting to the ground, to the crowds' horror.

Uub then pointed a finger at the figure of Vegeta Bebi and fired a very familiar pink blast at him, yelling, "turn into chocolate!"

Bebi was turning in the air as the blast neared him but the tyrant quickly twisted himself into position, facing Uub but upside down, and swatted the blast back with a backhand.

Uub stared at it in horror as the pink blast sailed swiftly towards him. He didn't even have time to put up a defensive as the pink beam hit his chest, shrouding him in a pink light and turning him into what he had commanded: chocolate.

Bebi watched the now chocolate Uub fall to the ground and grinned.

"What a sweet ending." He commented and then caught the chocolate in his open palm. Bebi surveyed it for a moment then gobbled it down greedily. That was the end of one problem…

"Hey Bebi!"

…And the start of another.

Bebi turned wearily at the new voice. He had thought he was free of it but today just didn't seem to be his day. So he frowned down at the form of chibi Goku that was glaring heatedly at him with his tail swishing furiously.

Wait…tail?

"So I see you're back. And with a new appendage I see. How tail-fying." Bebi snorted but Goku didn't think it was funny.

"Laugh it up while you can, Bebi, this tail is all I need to set things right!" Goku exclaimed and burst into super saiyan three in a blink of an eye, his tail shining gold to match his hair and aura.

"That and a miracle. Only a saiyan could think that he was any stronger because he had a tail." Bebi, again, snorted.

Goku glared at him and lowered into a stance, his tail still wagging angrily.

"We'll see about that!" he yelled before phasing out of sight. Bebi smirked to himself and then phased out of sight as well.

The two were moving at an impossible speed, too fast to see. All that could be seen were streaks of energy that appeared when ever they made a hit. Three streaks flashed across the sky and the next thing anybody knew, Goku was skidding along the floor until he hit his head hard against a rock and regressed all the way back to his normal stage.

Goku groaned as he tried to move so the rock wasn't stabbing his skull and stared at his tail.

"I don't understand…they said a saiyans power lies in the tail…why isn't it working?" he wondered aloud. Then looked up towards the Bebi who was gloating above him.

"Poor little saiyan. You really expected that to work, didn't you? How pathetic, you should have known better. You can't beat me." Bebi told him but Goku wasn't listening. He had spotted what was behind Bebi.

Exactly behind Bebi was the shinning blue planet Goku had lived most of his life on. In fact he had been born on that planet. Kakarot had come to earth and got the concussion and Goku had been born from that. And now it looked like he would be unable to save it from Bebi.

Goku couldn't tear his eyes away from it. He could feel his tail twisting round as if to get a good look. His heartbeat began to pick up a pace. He could feel his body changing but he didn't dare look away from the shining, blue marble above them. But Bebi could see what was going on and he didn't like it.

"No…it can't be." He muttered and remembered something from long ago.

A pack of giant monkeys were tearing open buildings as more saiyans grew into matching brown monkeys – Oozarus.

Bebi couldn't let that happen here. He dived down towards Goku but already it was too late. Goku was already growing and had unwillingly turned super, only his eyes were completely red and pupil-less instead of teal. Even the whites of his eyes were now red. Golden monkey hair spread across his body as he swelled to a gigantic size. His clothes had torn to shreds and now he was only covered in gold hair, apart from his newly formed snout, his hands, chest and his feet.

This was Goku in his golden Oozaru form.

Bebi looked on in a mixture of fear and awe. He knew a little of this transformation but didn't know of the weaknesses. All he knew of was it gave whoever used it a 10x power boost. And in this case it was definitely a bad thing for Bebi. He knew he didn't stand a chance.

Unfortunately that wasn't his only problem.

Goku sniffed the air in a way of exploring his new surroundings and then spotted Bebi. The tyrant immediately got into a defensive stance as Goku got ready to swat him like a bug. But just before he did, Goku noticed all the people in the city, and of course the city itself. Bebi was soon forgotten and Goku went to explore.

The Oozaru pushed a building out of the way to get into the city and swatted some more down as if he were pushing grass out of the way. He stepped on smaller buildings, crushing them and kept moving deeper into the city, making more and more of a mess.

Bebi watched in startled surprise and quickly regained his wits. He had worked too hard to get to this point and Goku was about to ruin everything! He had to be stopped!

Bebi charged after the giant monkey that was Goku, charging up a blast in each hand, preparing to blast any and every part of Goku. At least he was until Goku's hand fell from the sky and slapped him into the road.

Bebi had to peel himself out of it before getting his bearings and finding a new plan of attack. Goku was too big and powerful at this stage and Bebi had no clue as to how he could stop Goku. He needed to re group so he turned tail to find the one person he was sure could give him an answer.

On the planet of the kais Kibito grinned at the crystal ball the small group were sitting around.

"Bebi knows he's beat. Look at him go." He exclaimed but was soon stopped as two fingers slapped him hard round the head.

"Don't be foolish!" the old kai snapped at him. Kibito rubbed his head and stared at the elder.

"What do you mean?"

"We haven't won anything yet. Besides, Goku can't control himself. The Oozaru form is very primitive and hard to control. Only saiyans that have had plenty of experience in the form can control it. Goku has not had plenty of experience or the right training. He doesn't know how to control it. If you hadn't rushed in then I probably could have explained what he had to do but you had to take him before I had a chance! At this rate he won't even be able to get to the next stage." The elder snapped. Kibito kai looked to the two beaver people beside him and then back to the elder.

"What do you mean, sir?" he asked but the old kai wasn't going to answer. He was to busy hoping that Goku didn't do anything he'd later regret…

Goku continued to roam the city, still destroying anything in his way. He was now near the edge of the city and would be out in the wide-open space that was the desert. He was so focused on the desert that he didn't know who was about to be trodden on.

Chichi and Videl were being pushed on all sides as terrified people ran around them. Goku was practically on top of them and there was nowhere to run. Both women looked frantically around and then up as they heard someone screaming.

There was Goku's monkey paw slowly coming down on them and they had nothing to do but hold onto each other and scream. They pressed their eyes tightly shut as they prepared for the impact but instead of being flattened they were greeted by people telling them to look up. The two did as commanded and there above them was Pan in super saiyan mode, holding up her grandfathers massive paw with everything she could muster.

Goku flailed his arms around to keep from falling over and lifted his foot off of Pan. Goku looked at his granddaughter like she was an insect and then flicked her hard with his finger, sending her through several buildings and back to where she had started.

Pan let out a moan as she sat upright, back in her normal form. If she learned anything from this it was not to go up against giant monkeys…

Hercule rushed to his grandchild's side to check that she was fine. Naturally she just pushed him away.

"Pan, please stop this. You can't take on Bebi or Goku. Just stay here." He begged but Pan just shook her head.

"No way! When I sensed Grandpa Goku back here I knew he would need my help and he does. I have to make him remember…" she told him. Hercule frowned at her.

"But Pan-" he started.

"No buts! I'm going to go help him! I'll be back." She said firmly then flashed Hercule a confident grin before flying back toward Goku.

Goku had long since left the city and was now just roaming around, beating down rock formations and just exploring.

He came to a small oasis at the bottom of a cliff and paused to have a drink. When he was done he noticed something blue being reflected in the pinkish water and looked up. There was earth shinning down on him. He couldn't help sitting there and starring longingly at the blue orb that sat high in the sky.

"You miss it…don't you?" a small voice asked from somewhere near his right elbow. Goku peered down at Pan who was starring up at him with pleading black eyes.

"You have to remember it. We lived up there. We were all one big happy family there…until you went off with Uub at least, but we were still happy there. Don't you remember?" she asked. Goku stared at Pan and for a second she thought that understanding flashed though those big red eyes.

Then he turned round and used his tail to slap her into a cliff before running off on all fours.

Pan pulled herself out of the wall and after straightening her bandana she frowned in his direction.

"So much for just talking…time for plan B." she muttered and took off her bag pack that she seemed to always carry around with her. She rummaged through it and finally found what she was looking for. It was a copy of the photo Bebi had used before.

Pan smiled at it and took off at full speed to where Goku had gone.

Goku sat on the very top of a high cliff, staring at the earth still. He couldn't take his eyes away from it for some reason…

Pan slowly and cautiously floated in front of his face, holding the picture in front of her for him to see.

"Look Grandpa. It's a picture of everyone. It's the last time we were all together." She spoke softly, hoping not to get slapped away again.

Goku narrowed his eyes at her in annoyance then looked over the picture. He could remember this.

They had all been at the beach. He had been teaching Pan how to swim in the ocean with Gohan while their wives watched and talked. Bulma had been chatting with the other humans round the BBQ and Hercule had been keeping Buu from eating everything. Vegeta had been taking a nap in the sun when a teenage Trunks and Goten had decided to bury him in sand. Zara had joked about turning him into a mermaid and the boys had made the end into a fin (Vegeta had woken up before they could finish with the chest). Then apart from everyone else, Marron had been watching a little Bra whilst asking Uub about his village.

Goku could remember it perfectly, even in his monkey form. It had been so peaceful that day; everything had been perfect.

Goku looked back at Pan and shoved her out of the way so that he could get a good view of the earth. Pan almost hit the floor again but managed to stop just in time and stare at her grandpa. She had been sure that would work…

She slowly floated back up to him and stared at the big monkey that was hiding her grandpa inside. She couldn't take much more of this…

"Please remember grandpa. Please?" she begged him, feeling her eyes stinging. Goku glanced back at her and noticed a single tear rolling down her cheek. It dripped off of her chin and onto his out stretched finger. He stared at it almost curiously and then back at the earth. Then something snapped inside him. He knew whom he was and what he had to do. It all fell into place and he could feel something deep within him. He just had to let it out…

Pan gasped as suddenly Goku began to howl. He was suddenly swept up in a violent, golden aura that pushed her backwards. His fur began to flash a reddish brown and he slowly began to shrink. His snout regressed back into his face to become more saiyan. His head hair grew out to form long tuffs similar to his normal hair. He looked like a cross between Oozaru and saiyan when he stopped shrinking. He still had monkey hair covering his arms and legs but he was saiyan shaped. The only features of Oozaru left were the reddish-brown fur and tail. His eyes looked normal only they were still red. Then he was adult sized as well instead of the chibi form Pan had gotten used to. He looked very impressive stood there but what was even more impressive was his power level. Pan had never sensed anything like it before; it was that huge!

This is it! Pan thought, this is how he can beat Bebi.

A/n: there we go, a nice long chapter. I'm hoping I can get this Bebi saga out of the way soon so I can start on other things. Shouldn't be too long now…

So what is this new transformation? And is Pan right about it? Find out next time!

A/N2: oh yea, and I apologise for any bad puns that may have been used. Ja'ne!
