Chapter 21

Massacre and Nate popped in just when Gotenks planted his foot into the androids face.

"Geeze, that had to hurt," said Nate, "I wonder if he has a good health plan?"

Massacre just looked at him in silence.

"Well one thing is for sure, he sure as hell didn't expect that one. Hey, isn't that Gotenks?" Massacre said as she noticed the look of the new fighter.

Nate looked quizzically for a moment and then sighed a breath of relief.

"Yea I do believe that it is, so that means that your lover is still alive." Nate said while wincing as he knew he was going to get hit.

"He isn't yet, but hopefully." She said laughingly.

Dende rushed over to them and pulled them from the fight. He then brought them to the spot where Piccolo and Superman were resting.

"Good to see you guys," Piccolo said earnestly, "at least we know you guys will be able to help. Me and Superman here have really gotten the tar beat out of us. And I think Superman is more the worse for wear."

Dende rushed over to Superman who looked like he had been run over by a few dozen trains. Dende kneeled in front of him, "Be still, I'm going to heal you," he said as he extended his arms and then went into a trance like state. A green glow surrounded Superman and then all his wounds and clothing went back to normal.

"Well that certainly beats the trip to the doctor that's for sure," Superman said with a sigh of relief, "I would have thought I was a cooked goose for sure."

Massacre helped Piccolo to his feet and then brought him to a spot where he could see the battle. Piccolo thanked her and then sat down, breathing heavily. Dende then ran over to Piccolo and proceeded to heal him as well.

"I sure hope that you guys were able to figure something else out, cause it looks like Gotenks is going to need some help. Vegeta and Goku didn't even scratch him yet, and Gotenks is running out of strength quicker than he is letting on. And I think the android knows it." Piccolo said with a small tone of fear.

Massacre started to disrobe her heavier clothing and then dropped the heavy cloak.

"Not to worry Piccolo, I got in my fair share of training, and I learned a few new tricks thanks to Vegeta." Massacre grinned.

Nate walked over to them and then pulled out his spell book.

"I think I can bring back someone who might be able to help our situation, if we can find his other half." Nate said.

Piccolo looked at him a little confused. And then looked at Massacre hoping to get a little help from her. She just shrugged and then looked back at Nate.

"If we can find Uub, I can bring back his evil half, and infuse them together but only as the good half. But both of them need to be here and need to agree on it or the fusion of their bodies wont work." Nate explained.

Piccolo understood now and then started to grin.

"This is just the trump card we needed. Dende, contact Uub on the Sacred World of the Kai's. Ask Kibito Kai if he would kindly bring Uub here." Piccolo demanded.

Dende did as instructed immediately and started his telepathic message to Kibito Kai. But then turned around.

"Sorry Piccolo, I can't, not without the help of something to amplify it," said Dende.

Meanwhile on the Kai planet Gohan found himself landing in a nice patch of grass.

"Well its good to see the grass and everything else is growing back nicely. Even if Dad and Majin Buu did have their final duel here. Its rather cozy." Gohan said to himself.

Gohan wondered around until he figured out where Old Kai and Kibito Kai were. He found them with a familiar and very good friend.

"Hey Gohan, how's it going on earth? Oh my heavens, you're dead!" Kibito Kai said in dismay.

Uub turned and recognized his old friend, and ran to give him a hug.

"Well it seems that my training didn't pay off as well as I though it would have. Then again if you wouldn't have blown yourself up we wouldn't be in this mess would we Gohan? The young I tell ya, no respect for the way things should be at all." Old Kai said as he came up to shake Gohan's hand.

"Nice to see you too Sir." Gohan replied.

"Gee Gohan, I thought you would have gotten through that a lot better than you did. But then again it took a lot out of you when you did that Kamehameha." Uub said.

Gohan chuckled a bit and put his hand behind his head to scratch it as he looked sheepish.

"Gosh you guys, don't be so harsh. I had to think of something, and I knew that I could be wished back. And if I don't pay attention to what's going on down there it will be like no time at all and they will wish me back faster than I can blink. At least I'll be able to get the training I need." Gohan replied.

Then out of no where, Nate appeared in his red cloak and scythe. The Old Kai nearly jumped out of his skin, Kibito Kai just laughed and Uub got on the offensive. Uub started to lob a volley of energy attacks at Nate and all Nate did was wave his hand and the Energy balls turned into flowers.

"Jumping Jahuzafats, why is Death coming here? And why is he dressed like some hoodlum?" Old Kai said as he nearly jumped out of his pants.

Kibito Kai looked at him and then had a look of sheer delight.

"That's not death ancestor, that's Death's apprentice." Kibito Kai said.

Old Kai shook his head and then glared back at Kibito Kai.

"You mean to tell me that Death is going to be able to retire," Old Kai said with anger," and I'm going to have to continue on till I die?"

Nate looked at them, with red eyes, and then spoke, or tried to speak, no words came out of his mouth. Then Nate swore in his thoughts and every one heard it.

"Watch your mouth around the Elder Kai, Nate." Kibito Kai said.

WAIT A MINUTE, YOU MEAN YOU HEARD MY THOUGHTS? GREAT, NOT ONLY HAVE I LOST MY ABILITY TO KEEP MY BODY ON STRAIGHT, BUT NOW I HAVE LOST MY VOICE. OH WELL, ANYWAYS, I AM HERE TO COLLECT UUB. HE IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF MY PLAN. AND I'M HERE TO GRANT HIM LIFE. AND GOHAN, IF THAT IS OK WITH YOU I WOULD LIKE TO RESTORE YOUR LIFE TO SO YOU CAN TRAIN HARDER.

"Now wait a minute there you, since when do you have the authority to grant people life and take them from our planet when they have been appointed here by King Yema?" Old Kai screamed at him.

JEEPERS CREEPERS OLD MAN, TAKE A CHILL PILL. I AM DEATH HIMSELF, I AM NO LONGER THE APPRENTICE, AND I CAN MAKE ANYONE I CHOOSE LIVE OR DIE. IT IS MY FINAL DECISION, AND I CHOOSE TO REINCARNATE THEM IN THEIR OWN BODIES AGAIN. WE HAVE A JOB FOR THEM AND I AM HERE TO COLLECT. NOT EVEN SOMEONE AS WISE AND AS HIGHLY RESPECTED AS YOU CAN TAKE AWAY MY DECISION. SO CHILL OUT, SIT BACK AND WATCH THE FUN.

Old Kai crossed his hands and sat down in a pouting mood.

"But Uub has not finished his training," said Kibito Kai, "if he leaves now he will not have enough power to help Goku and Vegeta."

Old Kai looked at the determined Nate and realized what he had planned.

"I see now you little hoodlum, you're planning on reuniting Evil Kid Buu and Uub. Do you know how dangerous that is? If Kid Buu is given even the littlest bit of influence into their new body, it will end up with him consuming Uub instead and making an even bigger problem." Old Kai snapped waving his fist at Nate.

WISE KAI, TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THAT WE HAVE NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE, IF GOKU AND VEGETA CANNOT BEAT THE FUSED ANDROID, OR FIGHT THEM ONE ON ONE, THEN THERE WILL BE ONLY TWO HOPES LEFT. GOHAN'S TRAINING, AND UUB FUSED WITH KID BUU. I SEE NO OTHER CHOICE.

Nate took Uub by the hand and then put his hand on Gohan's shoulder. Next thing they knew Gohan and Uub were in a cloud of smoke, and then they heard fighting and could sense Goku and Vegeta, fighting.
