Chapter 16

7 years had past since the defeat of Cell. Mizuna had taken to space for the majority of the time since then. She still visited Earth from time to time to check on everyone. As well as sparring with Gohan often to make sure he wasn't slacking off like she knew he would otherwise. She also kept an eye on Trunks and the youngest member of Gokus family, Goten. They were both impressive as well and would be fantastic fighters in their own right as long as they had the proper teachers. It had been a year since she had been to Earth. She had kept up her training in space, fighting anyone she could find. She had improved many times over where she had been before. She had finally hit a wall though with her growth just like before. She had overcame it before, but she hit it again. After achieving the third transformation. She knew there was further she could go yet, as always. Saiyans had no limits after all.

She had just woken up for the day and did her daily stretches and was getting ready to head out. She had heard word of a planet called M-2 just full of powerful machine mutants. She knew that'd be the place to go to get some serious fighting in, but the past day had been strange. She had sensed incredible power on Earth, she had no idea who it was. Something was wrong now though. The planet nearly felt dead, hardly any energy was there anymore. What had happened in the last few hours? The only people she could sense were Gohan and the unknown person. Gohans power had grown immense, and yet the other person was still greater. Things didn't feel good. She locked onto their energies and teleported back to Earth. The first thing she saw was the tall pink monster in a vest strangling Gohan while Dende stood helplessly. Was that Mr. Satan too? She wasn't sure what was going on but she saw the opportunity and struck. She launched a quick blast at the monster who was caught by surprise and released Gohan. It did no damage and he looked over at her. "Ah, Mizuna. I was wondering when you'd show up. You're late."

Mizuna cocked her head to the side in confusion. He knew who she was? Now that she thought about it. She could feel various energies deep within him. Piccolo. The boys. Did he absorb them?

Gohan quickly moved beside her. He wasn't looking too good but Dende moved up behind him and starting his healing. "Who is this guy?" Mizuna asked him.

"Majin Buu." Gohan responded. "He's killed everyone on earth, ate our friends, absorbed Goten, Trunks and Piccolo." Gohan said with clear anger in his voice. "He tricked me and now he's far too strong for me to beat."

Mizuna sighed and looked back at Buu he was patiently waiting for them. "I see. That bad, huh? Maybe together we'll be able to manage." Then she closed her eyes and raised her power and the ground shook beneath her. In a moment she had ascended to Super Saiyan 3 and assumed a fighting position.

"You got to Super Saiyan 3 too?" Gohan asked impressed.

"Yeah. Who else did it?"

"Father and Vegeta both did when they came back for a day. The boys managed it while fused too. They couldn't maintain the form for long though."

Mizuna shrugged. "I guess I'm not all that impressive then. Thing is.." Mizuna pointed at her tail around her waist. "Without a tail, you can't use it to it's full potential." Although, it's still a straining form. It's best not to use it at all really.

Gohan nodded in understanding. "I see." Then he took a stance as well.

They both moved to rush forward but Buu was on top of them in an instant, knocking Gohan away with a kick and swung a fist at Mizuna who dodged it then launched another large blast at him which he effortlessly deflected and punched her away as well. Alright, so he's pretty powerful after all. She thought as she stood back up and rushed in, Gohan right behind her. They unleashed a flurry of attacks that pushed Buu backwards. He kept smiling the entire time though, clearly enjoying their struggle. With a perfectly timed attack they managed to knocked him back a distance and both charged up their strongest attack and launched it at him. Buu only chuckled. "Is this the best you two can do?" He said and lifted his hand to launch one of his own in return. Their attacks all met in the air and pushed back against one another. Mizuna and Gohan were straining for all they were worth when their attack finally managed to push back towards Buu and seemingly overtake him. They both wen to move closer to investigate when the ground beneath Gohan broke away and a massive blob of Pink overcame him and condensed around him then snuck back into the ground. Mizuna tried to stop it and catch it, but it was no use. After another moment a gigantic explosion destroyed the rest of the ground and surround area as Buu flew out of the rubble. He was now wearing Gohan orange gi and his power had skyrocked again. Mizuna picked herself up and sparked her aura on. She took a stance but she knew she was outclassed. Buu landed on the ground in-front of her and smugly walked towards her. "Well well, looks like it's just the two of us then." Buu said and crossed his arms. "I'm the ultimate majin now, you have no chance. You can fight and die or I'll you get absorbed and join your friends. Your choice."

Mizuna briefly looked around. There was no one else around to help, but she'd rather die fighting then surrender. She moved like lightning with a kick aimed at his mid section, but his body charged shaped and she struck nothing but air. She didn't let that stop her and continued with a barrage of attacks that he kept avoiding by changing shape. His fist extended unnaturally and hit her square in the stomach, even that casual of a hit had her wheezing on the ground. Then she looked up at him as he loomed over her. She brought both hands up to her face then. "Solar Flare!" She shouted and he yelled in pain as he was blinded, but she followed that up with an energy blade forming around her arm and slashed him into small pieces and then launched a giant ball of energy at the ground that destroyed the rest.

She exhaled air as the strain of the form was starting to get to her. Even though she could freely use the form with a tail. The power output and the gap between them just made it not matter. She dropped the form and rolled her shoulders, relaxing a bit. Buu was dead.

Then his voice rang out in a cold laugh behind her. "Please, that level of attack could never kill me." She spun around to face him, he was perfectly restored and just smiling at her. "You did decently, but it's time to die." Then he charged in at her. She flashed back to SSJ3 but he broke right through her defenses and beat her into the ground easily. He didn't stop until she was wheezing and bloody. She had dropped down into the original Super Saiyan form. Then he lifted back high into the air and looked down at her.

Mizuna had trouble keeping her focus on anything at this point. Who was the creature? How was it possible to be so strong? She wasn't sure how she'd pull of a win, but she had a last ditch idea. She focused a different type of energy in her hand and launched it into the air, it missed Buu and expanded above him. It was a large and bright ball that hung in the air. She looked at it closely and a familiar sensation filled her body. She was growing bigger, taller, and hairier. It had been a long time since she transformed, and she had nearly forgotten how to kept a sense of who she was. She had thought about this concept for awhile. There was no better time then now to test it. This felt far stronger then how it used to when she noticed the golden color to her massive body. She had become a Golden Great Ape.

Then she focused the power and used all of her focus to condense it tightly within herself and felt her body shift. She grew smaller until she had returned to her human size, but something had changed she had grown silver hair on her upper body and her hair was much longer, not like SSJ3 though. This was something different. She screamed as the power calmed itself inside her. She felt like she still had all the primal rage of the Ape Form, it was hard to stay focused. Her power was astronomically higher then ever before, and a yellow/redish aura was all around her. Her clothes which had been torn off before the transformation but reformed on her somehow. She had her regular baggy pants on but no shirt. The fur covering her had tastefully gone partially across her large breasts as well. She balled her fists and looked up at Majin Buu who looked fascinated by this. In a flicker of movement she was behind him. He hadn't seemed to notice yet however as she slammed a savage kick into his face and sent him reeling into the ground. He felt that, she knew. She could kill him now, and she'd love every moment of it.
