Previously on Dragon Ball Aftermath: Rewrite
The battle between Goku and Qhuteus has begun, and many of the fights are starting to wrap up, leaving room for the others. Raditz has obtained Super Saiyan 4, but Goten was able to ascend his Super Saiyan God, even having traces of white divine energy in it.
Frost has also unlocked his fifth form and diamond form, making him far more potent than before. He was able to defeat King Cold. How will the next battles end? Find out next time.
Chapter Twenty-Six
Explosions shake the landscape, as the fighters continue to fight the villains, the outcome being unclear. Paparoni raises his staff, as all of his robots clash with Dr. Gero and Android 19.
Viara yells and runs forward, going to maul Dr. Gero into the ground. Android 19 gets in the way and swings a kick, knocking its arm clean off. Narirama spins toward them rapidly, attempting to chop them to pieces.
Dr. Gero launches an eye laser at it, causing a massive explosion. Narirama's head falls to the ground as it powers down. He then flies toward Viara and shoves his hand through its head, short-circuiting it.
The other robot falls to the ground as they turn toward Paparoni, Panchia, Bollarator, and Koitsukai. Paparoni chuckles. "Well, then... There's no choice left but to use Plan X."
Dr. Gero squints. "Plan X?"
Paparoni spins his staff and points it to his robots. "Plan X. Programming phase! Begin!"
"Plan X. Order received," all three robots respond, leaping up to the sky. "Koitsukai! Panchia! Bollarator! Merge!"
All three of the robots merge into Koichiarator, walking forward toward the androids. Paparoni laughs. "Functions fully unleashed at one thousand two hundred and fifty-six percent!"
"I've got no time for your silly mechanical games," Dr. Gero replies. "Androids are far more reliable than mere robots. Nineteen, dispose of them."
Android 19 launches forward and swings a punch, causing Koichiarator to skid back. It roars, launching an eye beam at Android 19 that sends him flying. Dr. Gero growls and flies forward, launching a massive beam toward the fusion.
Koichiarator knocks the attack away and leaps toward Dr. Gero, stretching out its arm and nailing the android in the gut, blasting a hole through it. He flies back, crashing into a rock.
Android 19 leaps behind it and tries to latch onto it to self-destruct, but the fusion spins around and slams its fist into Android 19, sending his head flying clean off. It turns toward Dr. Gero and walks toward him.
Paparoni chuckles, walking behind Koichiarator. "You've made a mistake insulting my creations. You're out of options now."
Dr. Gero grunts and turns toward Perfect Cell, who would be fighting Gohan. "I have no choice. I'll need to start the transmission. It's the only way."
Gohan, in his Ultimate form, launches forward and kicks Cell in the gut, sending him back. He growls, his golden aura flaring up. He slams his foot on the ground and launches forward, firing a Kamehameha at him.
Gohan vanishes out of the way and shoots behind Cell, kicking him up into the sky. "MASENKO!"
The Bio-Android spins around and punches the blast away with the back of his hand. "Impressive. You're even able to keep up with me in my golden form, but I am just warming up!"
Electricity is crackling around him as he yells. He flies toward Gohan, using energy blasts to propel himself. He swings a punch that Gohan blocks. "So am I, Cell. So far, our rematch is in my favor."
Gohan uppercuts him, sending him tumbling back. He then raises his hands and fires an energy blast in the form of a dragon's head. Cell looks down to see it consume him, vaporizing part of his body. "UWAGHHH!"
Frieza chuckles and powers up into his golden form, running forward. "My turn." He whacks Cell with his tail, sending him flying toward Android 17, who spins and kicks him to the ground.
Katopesla leaps above him, aiming a blast toward him. "Katopesla: The Final Mi-"
Cell snaps his fingers and a Cell Junior latches onto Katopesla, stopping him in place. It flies down and slams him to the ground, stunning him. Gohan grunts as the other Cell Juniors attack him.
He bursts his aura, sending them flying back. Cell gets up, his fists clenched. "Fine... If it's a battle you want, then it's what you'll get..."
The Bio-Android roars, a blue aura overlapping his golden one. "Surprised? I've learned God Ki a long time ago."
He launches a barrage of death beams toward Gohan, sending him flying. Frieza launches a death ball at him, but he kicks it back toward the emperor, sending him back.
Android 17 yells and launches a barrage of energy blasts, but Cell flies out of the way, launching a Kamehameha that forces the android out of the battle for a moment.
Katopesla runs forward, charging a beam. "Let's try this again... Katopesla: The Final Mission!"
He launches a concentrated blast toward Cell, but he knocks it out of the way, grabbing the warrior by the neck. "I've had enough of you. You're nothing but an unworthy flea."
[Music: Jo Blankenburg - Reign of The Wichtelmen]
Before Gohan can stop him, Cell closes his hand, snapping Katopesla's neck, killing him. He drops the body to the ground, turning toward the Half-Saiyan. "That'll be you next..."
Gohan yells, enraged. "No, I will not let you kill anybody else! You heartless bastard!"
"You should know me by now, Gohan," the Bio-Android replies, walking forward. "When will you learn? When will you stop suppressing yourself?"
The Half-Saiyan pauses and clenches his fists. "Fine... I was hoping to save this until the battle against the evil gods, but I have no choice."
He yells, a massive pillar of energy shooting from him. Cell's eyes widen, raising his arms to block the pressure. "Wha... What is this pressure?!"
Gohan roars, his hair flashing white for a brief moment. His energy explodes, as he'd now be in full power. He opens his eyes, his ultimate aura being more violent than ever. His hair would be shining and his eyes would be glowing blue. "Is this what you wanted, Cell?"
He'd have combined the power of white divine energy, God Ki, and his Ultimate form. Vegeta looks in shock, a bead of sweat going down the side of his face. "H... He's even more powerful than me!"
Gohan flies forward, the energy encasing him in a white glow. He slams his fist into Cell's chest, tearing a hole through it. The Bio-Android yells, coughing up blood and saliva. "Wh... When did you...?!"
The Half-Saiyan roars and grabs him, throwing him with full force out of the atmosphere. Cell yells as he crashes into the Moon, causing a massive crater on it. "This... How did he get this power?!"
He looks up to see Gohan already in front of him. The Saiyan kicks him back toward Earth. He crashes into it, sending tremors across the planet. "How can a runt turn into this?!"
Gohan flies down and lands in front of him, walking forward. "My potential as a Half-Saiyan has allowed me to surpass even Vegeta. It's time to finish this now..."
Cell gets up and yells, his aura turning dark blue and wavy. "Don't get ahead of yourself, kid! DIE!"
He yells, launching a Super Kamehameha. Gohan raises his finger and charges a tiny Ki blast, flicking it toward the Kamehameha. It consumes it entirely, slamming into Cell and exploding.
The Bio-Android yells, disintegrating from the attack. Despite this, Gohan walks forward toward the spot he presumably died. "I know you're still here, Cell."
Cell regenerates, panting heavily. "Damn it... DAMN IT! I WILL NOT LOSE TO YOU AGAIN!"
He flies up and charges an attack, illuminating the area in blue light. "This attack is the same one I used against you all those years ago before you killed me! I WILL BLOW UP THIS ENTIRE GALAXY IF I HAVE TO!"
Suddenly, he stops, and Dr. Gero closes his eyes. Cell looks at his hands and smirks, stopping his attack and hovering back down to the ground. "Good... My plan has succeeded."
He glances toward the confused Half-Saiyan. "I have taken over Cell's mind, though I still retain his knowledge. With my intelligence and his fighting skill, I stand a much better chance."
In the corner of his eye, he sees Koichiarator running toward him. Without batting an eye, "Cell" raises two fingers and launches a blast that sends the fusion crashing through many mountains, shocking Paparoni.
Gohan gets in a stance, as Cell launches toward him, zig-zagging around him. Suddenly, he kicks Gohan from the back, but the Saiyan barely flinches. "Are you done?"
Cell growls and leaps up, launching a Special Beam Cannon, which Gohan deflects with the back of his hand. "Impossible!"
The Half-Saiyan prepares an attack, but suddenly he sees a body flying toward him, and he instinctively catches it. His eyes widen to see the battered body of Goten. "Goten! What the?!"
He looks up to see Krillin, Master Roshi, Android 18, Bergamo, and Kale flying away from a massive energy. He sees Super Buuditz holding Cabba by the neck, before throwing him to the ground, laughing.
"Get behind me, guys!" Gohan says, getting into a stance.
"To hell with that," Frieza replies. "I've let you do all the work. I'll handle this myself." He yells and powers up into his platinum form, shattering the ground.
Android 17 walks forward, reuniting with his sister. "This guy's trouble. We'll need to team up to beat him."
Kale cracks her knuckles, entering Super Saiyan Blue. "Let's do this."
Krillin leans down and pulls a Senzu bean from a bag in his pocket, feeding it to Goten. "I'm low on these, so I'd prefer to save them, but we'll need his help, too."
Goten chews on the Senzu bean before getting up and standing next to Gohan. "Let's do this together, brother." He yells and enters Super Saiyan God Evolution.
Seeing no choice, Cell would side with Buu, keeping a good distance away from him. "We have a common enemy, so I think it'd be within our favor to ally."
Super Buu scoffs but doesn't argue. Frieza leaps over to Super Buu, swinging a kick. The Majin blocks it, grunting. Goten vanishes behind him and mauls him to the ground, stunning him.
Krillin and Master Roshi launch a combined Kamehameha, attempting to eradicate the Majin, but Buu knocks it away, running toward them. Cell blocks attacks from Android 17, 18, Bergamo, Kale, and Gohan, unable to keep up with them.
He gets kicked around like a rag-doll, hopelessly trying to parry their attacks. Kale roars and mauls him to the ground, causing a massive crater to form. Cell pants heavily, as said fighters surround him, charging an attack.
Seeing no other option, Cell raises his fingers to his forehead, teleporting to Super Buu. He grabs him and raises his tail, attempting to absorb the Majin. Buu yells, trying to break out of his grip.
The Majin punches him in the gut, damaging him, but he wouldn't stop. The Majin goes through his tail and into his body. He opens his eyes and smirks, getting in a stance. "Yes! I've done it!" He then pauses. "Why am I not more powerful?"
He then suddenly yells in agony, as pink goo covers him, Super Buu having been able to prevent his absorption using magic. The goo consumes him, as a new figure is born.
Super Buu opens his eyes, walking forward. He'd look even more humanlike than before. Android 17 vanishes behind him, swinging a kick. "HAAA!"
The Majin blocks it and turns his head 360 degrees toward the android, grinning. He goes to grab him, but Goten leaps in the way and kicks his hand, grabbing Android 17 and retreating.
Majin Buu flies after them, his power spiking rapidly. He uses Maji Kayo's ability and turns into a tiny blob, moving with great versatility. Immediately, he shoots behind Master Roshi and engulfs him in goo, shocking the master. "GOHAN!"
He absorbs Master Roshi and gets a bit more buff. He raises his fingers to his head and teleports to Gohan, trying to absorb him as well. "No, I will not make the same mistake."
Gohan yells and launches a massive blast that sends the Majin flying back. "Grrrr!" He roars and launches toward Gohan, kicking him and sending him flying back. "Damn it... My energy's getting low... I can't fight at full power!"
Android 18 raises her hands and energy clones of herself form. They all fly toward Majin Buu and detonate, stunning him briefly. "Now!"
Android 17 raises his hands and creates many layers of massive, super barriers around Buu to contain him. "Everybody, we must combine our greatest attacks!"
He creates an energy construct in the shape of a funnel that connects to Buu's cage. "Now, DO IT! We can resurrect the others later!"
Gohan, Goten, and Krillin all launch a Kamehameha into the funnel, and everybody else launches their own beams. The funnel concentrates it into one singular blast that hits Buu from within the cage and creates a catastrophic explosion that sends everybody flying back.
Everybody surrounds the crater, which would have nothing in it. Gohan pants, the form draining his energy rapidly. "Did we... did we beat him? There's no way he could've survived it, right?"
"Guys!" They all turn toward Android 17, who would try to shake off pink goo stuck to his leg. "No way... Could it be when I kicked him after he transformed?! Shit!"
The blob consumes and absorbs him, as Super Buu reforms. He'd be even more powerful than before. He raises his hand, charging a blast. "It's time for you to die now."
Frieza, in his platinum form, raises two fingers and charges a death beam. "I'm afraid not, you mistake of nature."
Out of nowhere, something rams into Frieza, stunning him. "What?!"
Frost walks forward, laughing. "Hello, Frieza. I've come to get my revenge on you for back in the tournament."
Frieza blinks, then chuckles. "Oh? And what can you do? You defeated my weakling of a father, so what?"
Frost yells, entering his Fifth Form. The emperor crosses his arms, unimpressed. "You can't even hope to scratch me in that form."
"I will wipe that smirk off your face!" The universe six Arcosian roars, entering his diamond form on top of it. His energy explodes, catching Frieza off guard. "What the hell is that?"
Frost leaps forward and slams a punch on Frieza's face. The two go back and forth while the rest of the fighters would take on Super Buu. Kale leaps up behind Super Buu, trying to blast him, but the Majin spins around and nails her in the face, sending her spiraling back.
Android 18 sends energy clones toward him that detonate, but he walks through them, unphased. He raises two fingers and aims them at Bergamo, launching a point-blank blast.
The gray wolf tries to stop it, but it'd be too powerful for him. "Damn it! I can't..."
Two other figures rush over from behind him and kick the blast away, shocking him. "Who-"
Basil and Lavender would stand next to him, powered up.
"Sorry we were late," Basil says, lowering his leg. "That sorcerer bastard cut off all connections to the other universes after most of you arrived, but now he's distracted."
Cabba gets up, coughing blood. He gets up and looks to see Super Buu in a different state. "That guy... If he absorbs more people, he'll become unstoppable."
Gohan and Super Buu go back and forth, but the Saiyan would slow down, low on energy. The Majin tries to absorb him, but Goten kicks him away, grabbing his brother and retreating.
"Take a moment to rest," he says, setting Gohan down. "We'll handle this."
White divine particles are circulating around him as he yells. He raises his hand, charging a blast. He launches a massive blast that heads toward Super Buu, but the Majin bends his body to avoid it, before laughing.
He launches toward Goten at incredible speeds and turns into pink goo, almost surrounding him. Suddenly, Android 18 kicks him out of the way, being absorbed in his place.
"EIGHTEEN!" Krillin yells, getting angry.
Goten stumbles back, seeing the Majin absorb her. Super Buu stands up and chuckles, walking toward the Saiyan. "Now then... I will turn you into candy!"
He launches a pink beam from his antenna, but another blast deflects it. His smile fades as he turns toward the source. It would be Ribrianne, Kakunsa, Rozie, and Rylibeu.
"Pretty Cannon!" Ribrianne yells, launching a heart-shaped blast at the Majin, who takes it, completely unaffected. In the distance, Dabura would still be on the ground for some reason, still unconscious, despite everybody else getting a boost.
"Weak," Buu says, launching a simple blast that sends the four fighters flying back. Rylibeu grunts and flies up, an aura coating her. She launches toward Buu, trying to ram into him, but that would be her biggest mistake.
Buu yawns and launches a candy beam that hits her, turning her into chocolate. The chocolate retains his momentum and the Majin catches it in his mouth, eating it. He raises his hand and launches many energy clones that fly toward the remaining three and detonate, injuring them. This would be Android 18's technique.
"Time to end this. I'm bored," Buu says, raising his hand and charging a massive pink energy ball. "Not even worth turning to candy. Die."
He fires it down and everybody watches in horror as it inches closer and closer.
Suddenly, something slices the blast clean in half. It explodes and Buu looks in front of him, confused.
It would be Dabura in a new form. "Finally... Thanks to that sorcerer being distracted, I was able to break free from both of their control."
The power boost he'd gotten would finally kick in, as he'd now be in his new Demon God transformation. He'd have horns on his head, his skin would be lighter colored, and he would have a black cape.
He raises his sword, which would pulsate with energy. Majin Buu yells and goes to attack him, but Dabura vanishes out of the way and slices him into many bits.
"We will settle this now, brothers!" Bergamo says, charging a beam. "TRIANGLE... DANGER... BEAM!"
The three Trio de Dangers launch a combined, multi-colored blast that zooms through the air, heading toward Majin Buu. It catches him off guard and consumes him, sending him back.
Dabura glares at the wolfs, before vanishing behind Bergamo and shoving his sword through his chest, stunning him. The demon king smiles sadistically, pulling it out and dropping the gray wolf to the ground.
"I'm not here to help you, but to get my revenge. This battle is mine and mine alone," he says. "Do not interfere, or you will die."
