Chapter 17 – Meeting a God
Buu floated in the air across from Mizuna. A confident smile on his face. "This is a unique power. No one has any memory of such a form. I'm impressed, you're worth fighting." He said and cupped his hands at his side and aimed them at her just as fast as massive blue beam launched from them right at her. She flattened her palm and slapped the beam back directly at him. He warped his body so the beam went through his stomach without hitting him, then she moved in to strike at him.
She landed a few hits that seemed to actually hurt him now before he kicked her in the stomach and then put his hands together in a devastating haymaker that brought her crashing to the ground, but before she landed, she teleport an inch away from his face and opened her mouth, releasing a massive silver blast that blew away the top part of his body. Before he could regenerate, she grabbed his leg and through his lower half at the ground, following that up with a barrage of blasts that atomized what was left.
She knew he still wasn't dead, but her hits were still doing something now. This form was incredible, she had to admit. It brought her past her previous limits by a hefty amount. She had a feeling with some training she'd be incredible powerful in no time now. She'd have to show Gohan and the boys how to get this form after she saved them. It also seemed to have minimal ki loss. Maintaining it was easy. It was the ultimate Saiyan form for combat. Maybe she wouldn't need to figure out that God stuff anyway. This would be enough to save #21.
She brought her hands up to her sides and flared her aura, powering up as high as she could. And waited for Buu to show himself again. Like clockwork he reformed his body just behind her. He was still smiling, but he seemed a bit less cocky now. "Not so confident now, are you Buu?" She asked. "I think I've changed my mind." Despite her bravado, she knew she still wasn't strong enough to outright destroy Buu. He was too powerful having absorbed Gohan on top of his original power. If he really starting trying, he'd demolish her. She'd be able to beat his previous form however. Oh well. She had a last ditch idea to weaken him though. "Absorb me too."
Buu tilted his head in surprised, but shrugged. "Have you seem the folly of your efforts? Finally decided to quit?"
"Something like that." Mizuna said with a shrug. "I'm just tired of fighting. Hurry up and do it already." Then she braced herself, readying her energy. Buu shot out his arm at her that expanded massively until it was larger then her body and it covered her. Swallowing her up. She had activated an energy shield around herself at the last moment and felt as she was pulled inside of him. She dropped her shield as she entered and dropped back down to her base form. A moment later she looked around, a short distance away were people trapped in strange pods. There were five there. Mizuna walked closer and noticed it was exactly who she was looking for. She formed an energy blade with her hand and went about cutting out Piccolo, Goten, Trunks, and Gohan. She could feel Buu body and power changing. He was much weaker then before, but still quite powerful. With a surgeon like precision, she cut the pods open then and freed them. They were still asleep though, and she wouldn't be able to carry all of them at once. So she went about shaking them all awake. The boys didn't stir, only Gohan and Piccolo did. Which was good enough for her. "Where are we?" Gohan asked as he sat up and looked around. "Inside Buu." She answered for him and then turned around as another Buu formed inside of Buu. Weird.
"What are you doing?!" He screamed. He looked and acted much like sophisticated then before.
"Saving my friends." She said with a smile. "You're a fool. Absorbing is only useful on the unwitting."
The Buu clone get angrier by the second and walked towards her. Gohan took a fighting pose while Piccolo picked up the boys. She stopped him from moving and reached out towards the fifth pod. Another Buu was in it, a fat one. "Strange. Did you absorb yourself? I wonder what happens if you remove this one. Buu began sweating then.
"Don't touch that, if you remove him I won't be me anymore!"
"Really? Interesting." Mizuna said, very curious and tugged. Freeing the large Buu and suddenly everything the clone fell over and merged while everything else starting shrinking suddenly.
"Let's get out of here!" Mizuna called to them and they all left through a small hole in Buus head and they returned back to their normal size. Mizuna had decided to bring the Fat Buu back with them. She figured he was harmless. He was strong, sure. But not a real threat to any of them. They all landed on the ground and looked up at Buu who was on a high rock and was screaming as his body changed. He shrunk down to the size of a child then and seemed to be scanning the area. "Piccolo, wake the boys." Then she turned to Gohan. "This was your fight. I only stumbled in, so I'll let you guys finish this." Gohan only nodded, a grim expression on his face. They had been tricked before. He wouldn't fall for it again.
Goten and Trunks yawned a stretched as they woke up and hopped to their feet. "Hey Mizuna," Trunks said as he walked to her side. "Thanks for saving us." Goten added in once he joined the group. "Don't sweat it. Just do me a favor and don't drag out a fight like that again. You nearly screwed us all over for good." Goten slightly blushed while Trunks looked away. "But that was the past. I'm giving you a second shot. Fuse and take him down." She said, pointing at the child Buu who has lifted his head to the sky and a deep pink energy was forming in it. They nodded and took their position. "Fusion! Ha!" Then the two became one. Gotenks quickly powered up to his SSJ3 form and did a cool pose. "The grim-reaper of justice has arrived! Mizuna had taken to memorizing their movements, such an ability could be helpful one day. Then went to say something as Buu launched a big pink blast directly down at the plant. No doubt to try to blow it up. Not on her watch! Then she moved to intercept the attack while calling out to Gotenks. "Go get him!" Gotenks saluted her then. "Yes ma'am!" Then she shot forward and kicked Kid Buu in the head which sent him spinning in the air a distance away. Mizuna returned her focus on the large attack in her hands and channeled some Super Saiyan energy in her palms as she directed it into the air harmlessly.
Gotenks followed up his initial kick with a flurry of punches and kicks that left Buu groaning in pain and twitching. He backed off for a moment to laugh at his opponent. "This one is pathetic! He's not nearly as strong as the last one. We're almost too strong!" Then Buu shook off his pain and stuck his foot in the ground, sending it through the dirt and back up right under Gotenks and caught him off guard and sent him upwards a few feet. Gotenks rubbed his chin in annoyance and stuck out his arm, launching a massive blast at Buu that annihilated part of him. He dusted his hands off on one another and sighed. "That was too quick."
A large pink blob emerged from beind him again, looking to absorb him yet again and before he could respond to it, a blue blast turned it to ash and another one, much more powerful caught the regenerating Kid Buu full on and completely destroyed him, the attack blasted Gotenks backwards and left a huge crater. He looked up to see Gohan a short distance away, still in his Kamehameha firing pose.
"Gohan! I was going to handle him!" Gotenks yelled, annoyed at being interrupted.
"I'm sure you would've." Gohan said, landing next to him. "Just couldn't take any chances this time."
Mizuna and Piccolo arrived shortly after.
"So he's finally gone then?" Piccolo asked.
"Feels like it." Gohan said. "We'll have to go restore the Earth now."
Mizuna nodded. "Better get to it then." Then she turned to the Goten and Trunks as they defused. "We're going to have to train you two up more. Fusion is useful but you guys need to be strong warriors by yourself first."
Goten and Trunks both looked excited at that. "Are you going to train us?!" They asked together.
"Sure am." Mizuna said with a smile. "I want you to be be the strongest you can possibly be. I discovered a new power, and I want you to have it too, but you're not far along enough yet."
"Sounds good!" Goten said with a bright smile.
So life went on for Earth, Buu was defeated and humanity was quickly restored. Fat Buu went to live with Mr. Satan. Gohan and Videl married, and thing went on as normal. Mizuna kept her promise to train with Goten and Trunks and they had both grown in height and power. After a year or so, they could both go to SSJ2 and Trunks had even managed to get to SSJ3 without being fused. She had forbidden them from using fusion unless they had to, it was too much of a crutch.
Fours years had past and Mizuna she realized hadn't met the Kais ike everyone else and decided to visit the World of the Kais. Kibitoshin and Old Kai had seemed affronted that she had randomly shown up but they quickly got over it. She had trained with them for a few months. The sun was high in the sky. Mizuna had going through her regular workout, she had asked to be given weights. They had created four small bands that went over her wrists and ankles.
They were better then full clothing and with his magic, they had made the weight of each the same as Earths moon. She hadn't been able to move at first. She simply sunk into the ground and the Old Kai complained that she'd ruin the planet with her stunts. But she kept on. Kibitoshin was the fusion of servant Kibito and Supreme Kai Shin, and together they were decently powerful. They were at least as powerful as Mizuna had been as a SSJ2 during the Buu fight. She had surpassed that now though and she was at that level of strength in her base form alone. He made a good sparring partner however.
She had learned much about how the hierarchy of the universe worked too while being here. She wasn't sure what use it'd be to her though.
They were resting and chatting now when Kibitoshins face blanched as he looked up. Two figures were hovering in the air above them. They were both strange looking, even for Earth standards. The tall was lean, roughly the same height as Piccolo. With a gold ring around his neck and a staff in his hand. He was humanoid with light blue skin and a very calm expression on his face. As they lowered to the ground. The smaller, cat like figure came more into view. He was roughly her height with long ears and an unreadable expression. He was very thin, with a gaunt form with ribs showing. He was shirtless aside from a wreath of cloth around his shoulders. He had similar gold rings around his wrists.
He looked back and forth between the two of them and smiled, it was devious thing to look at.
"Impressive." He said.
"Who are you?" Mizuna asked as she looked between the newcomers. She couldn't feel either of energy at all. It was unsettling.
"This is Lord Beerus." Kibitoshin said, standing at attention and bowing. "The God of Destruction of this universe."
"The what now?" Mizuna asked, confused. She hadn't learned anything about gods of destruction.
"I had a dream," Beerus replied. "That I'd find a Saiyan God. Whis told me that there was only a handful of you still around. So, is it you? Or maybe someone on that planet called Earth?"
Mizuna shook her head. "Sorry to say, there's no gods among us. I know what you're looking for though."
"Do you?" Beerus asked, interested.
"I do. I don't have access to that power though." Mizuna said with a shrug. "I have no idea how to use God Ki."
"Unfortunate." Beerus said and thought about it for a moment. "Still, my dreams are accurate. Perhaps your power is just waiting to be awoken."
"Actually," Whis interjected. "Your dreams are quite inaccurate. I can recall several.."
"Quiet, Whis!" Beerus snarled. "It doesn't matter, I can here to fight a god. I'm going to draw that power out of you one way or another."
"Wait, what?" Mizuna asked but the ground began to quake suddenly and the sky darkened. She still couldn't feel his power, but she could feel a strange pressure radiating from him. He was the real deal. These two could be the ones she had be waiting for all this time.
"Come, Super Saiyan!" Beerus ordered her. "You're a Saiyan, you love to fight. Measure yourself against a god!"
Mizuna dropped down into a fighting pose as golden light surrounded her body and her hair began to flash between black and gold. "Fine then, if that's what you want. Let's go!"
