Chapter Thirteen
"What is that?"
'Forgive me, Augus, Karasuba, Masa, Naruto and even you…Kakarot.'
Naruto turned his head to the south as he felt a huge release of power as well as a twinkle of light. "Vegeta you dummy!" Naruto growled as he used instant tranmission. In a instant, Naruto found himself beside a surprised Piccolo and Krillin. Naruto however was too busy focused on the fact of the powerful explosive wave that was miles away from them. "Vegeta," he whispered as it began to settle down. He then scowled and was about to go when he noticed his son and Goten unconscious in Piccolo's arms.
"Vegeta knocked them out," Piccolo informed. "They were trying to help with Buu, but he didn't want them involved right before…" Piccolo didn't have to finish as Naruto understood. He then frowned as he gazed at the two boys. "Take them to the lookout, I'll be there soon," Naruto said before he flew off.
When he approached, he stopped a bit as he took in the huge crater that had been formed. Not to mention the storm clouds that were above it, constantly having lightning strike. "Vegeta, god damn it," Naruto sucked his teeth. "I hope whatever you did this for came true bud, or…" Naruto paused as he looked behind him. "What the hell Piccolo?"
"I had to check this out," Piccolo told him causing Naruto to frown. "I don't where Goku is, but Gohan's dead," this earned a glare from Naruto as Piccolo slowly nodded his head. "I heard Vegeta say it before he died, Buu killed him." Naruto's fist clenched as he gazed down at the crater. "I told Krillin to tell everyone what happened today. What happened with…"
"Don't ask," Naruto shut him up quickly. "I don't feel like talking about it right now," Naruto huffed with Piccolo nodding in understanding. "So…this Majin Buu, what is he?"
"Fat, pink and childish,"
"Great." Naruto muttered as he descended down and began walking around with Piccolo. "I'm not feeling anything. I think it worked," Naruto said with Piccolo nodding in agreement. "Wait, what is…oh," Naruto mused as he and Piccolo saw the thousands pieces of pink. Naruto then heard moaning and groaning and he walked off with Piccolo raising a brow as he followed Naruto. "Well well, if ain't Babidi," Naruto sneered as he gazed at the wizard who had half of a body.
"Help me please!" he begged.
"Hmm…no," Naruto grinned, creating energy, "You are not worthy of my mercy," he said as he erased Babidi off the face of the planet. No need to drag it out lest he lose the chance to kill that bastard. He was the reason why Vegeta and Brola turned out the way they did and why Buu was free. He then took notice of the pink pieces moving, "Um, Piccolo? Is that supposed to happen?"
"They're alive!" Piccolo stated as the piece began to gather up.
"Well don't just stand there looking like an idiot! Blast em!" Naruto ordered as he began blasting as many pieces as he could with Piccolo. But it was still not working as they were quickly regenerating turning into multiple Majin Buu's that flew together and created one Buu. "What the hell!" Naruto growled ready for a fight.
"We have to get out of here!"
"What no!"
"Yes! Let's go!" Piccolo barked as he flew off, Naruto scowled before he followed after Piccolo.
"Oi! What's the big idea!? We could have taken that fat pink shit!"
"No!" Piccolo shook his head. "I saw Vegeta fight that thing! It regenerated easily! Vegeta even gave his life to wipe it off the planet and it's like it never even happened! This isn't Cell, you can't just destroy it completely! There is no way!"
"We won't know till we try," Naruto huffed. "I bet a good Big Bang Kamehameha in Super Saiyan Four would do the job, but no you got scared. Ugh," Naruto scowled and Piccolo stopped and grabbed Naruto by the shirt, a frantic look in his eyes.
"Don't you get it?! Majin Buu is the strongest being we will probably ever face! He can't die by simple means! We can't cut him up like Frieza, we can't beat him up like Brola, we can't vaporize him like Cell! We have to do something even more powerful than that! Something stronger!" Piccolo explained to Naruto. "Now you can either go back and die trying like Vegeta, or think of a smart way to kill that bitch before it destroys our planet!"
Naruto was silent as he looked towards where Buu was and he frowned, "Alright fine. We'll come up with another plan. You head to Kami's, it's the only place safe since we left that pink blob unattended," Naruto grumbled. Naruto then focused, "Now where are you…ah! There!" With that, Naruto was gone.
When he reappeared he was standing beside Bulma who jumped a bit in surprise. "Naruto!" Bulma called in surprise before she hugged her husband then kissed him as lovingly as she could. "Oh I'm glad you are okay! What happened? Where's Brola?" she asked just his kids saw him and ran to hug him as well. Naruto looked to Lazuli and kissed her lightly before smiling softly at his children.
He then looked around to see the plane was broken, which Yamcha was fixing. Roshi stood off to the side with Oolong, and Puar. Chi-Chi was talking with Maron who was with Kisa, Videl and Ox King. Masa and her twin children were off to the side as well while she gazed up to the sky.
"Daddy?"
The blond looked down to his children who gazed at him curiously and he gave a small sad smile. "Your Mum's in timeout right now, she was being…bad," Naruto told them with a soft smile. "I saw Trunks and Goten, their with Krillin, headed to the lookout," Naruto informed them. He then sighed. "I'm going to find Goku and Gohan…" Chichi looked towards Naruto with a look of worry and he gave a small smile, "Is fine I'm sure."
"And my father?" Karasuba asked as she stepped forward causing Naruto to look at her. "How is he?" she wondered with a frown. Naruto gazed at the two kids then looked to Masa who looked a bit worried. "Naruto?"
"He's gone. He sacrificed himself to stop Maj…"
"You're lying!" Augus snapped at him. "My father is the strongest Saiyan there is! The strongest person in the universe! There is no way he would die to someone! You're lying!"
"Oi, my dad doesn't have to lie to you!" Asura snapped at Augus who snarled at him. However before either boy could say something, Naruto walked towards Vegeta's kids but he passed them and opened his arms to Masa who flung herself in his arms, sobbing silently. Asura frowned as he watched along with the others. They stood there for a few minutes in silence before Masa got a hold of herself and nodded to Naruto.
"Thank you," she said in a quiet voice. He nodded with a small smile before he took a deep breath.
"We're leaving. I'm getting you all to Kami's," Naruto told them. "Everyone grab onto me and each other." They nodded their heads and did so. Pressing his fingers to his head, the entire group disappeared and appeared on the lookout, in front of Dende and Mr. Popo. "Good you guys are here. Mr. Popo I need you to set up rooms for everyone, Earth is not safe with Majin Buu roaming around. Everyone will be staying here until he is taken care of," Naruto said, leaving no room for argument.
Just as he said that, Krillin and Piccolo appeared with Goten and Trunks. Immediately both respective mothers went for their unconscious child while Krillin gulped. "Krillin, Piccolo," Naruto called gaining his friends attention. He shook his head and the two understood.. "I'm going to find Goku," Naruto stated as he pressed his fingers against his forehead. When he reappeared he found himself in the wasteland, Goku at his feet. "There you are,"
He then kicked him over then grabbed a senzu bean and popped it into Goku's mouth, making him chew. Once he swallowed, his eyes shot open and he shot right up. "Whoa!" Goku gasped before he turned and looked to see Naruto. "Oh, Naruto…thanks," he chuckled as Naruto helped him up. "I guess Vegeta knocked me out. What happened with Brola?"
"Time out," Naruto said shortly. "Listen Goku, Vegeta's dead, Gohan is dying, Babidi is dead, Buu's alive and roaming around free," Naruto summed up, surprising him. "Our family is on the lookout. We need to start preparing to fight Buu," Naruto told him with Goku nodding in understanding. "Piccolo feels we need some super strong something to kill Buu. Because Vegeta blew himself the fuck up and Buu still regenerated, he's worse than Cell."
"Oh man, he sounds really strong,"
"I know. But before I could get the chance to fight him, Piccolo ran off," Naruto rolled his eyes. "Look I don't know how strong this freak is, so I don't want to take any chances. I say we train as hard as we can, all of us. You, me, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, and the kids," Naruto stated before he hummed. "Maybe not so much Krillin,"
"I'm for it! Lets go find Gohan!"
"You mind explaining to us what's going on?"
Naruto glanced to his wives who waited patiently for him as he came out of the bathroom, fresh from a shower. The blond shook his head, and Bulma sighed, "Where's Brola Naruto? You haven't said a word about her except she's in time out, whatever that means. What happened?"
"Babidi happened," Naruto scowled which surprised them as they saw real anger in his eyes. "Gohan had just got finished fighting Dabura, who ran away like a bitch. Vegeta and Brola got mad, like real mad. Just as Goku and I calmed them down, Babidi took over their minds and…" Naruto sighed as he sat on the bed, looking at the ground. "You should have heard her guys, she was so angry, so enraged, and caught up in power. She didn't care about any of us. Not me, not you, not the kids, she didn't even care if Asura was killed in that attack, she just that she wanted to fight…" Naruto looked away while they looked quite shocked by this. "She blamed me for being her weakness. She was really trying to kill me,"
"Then it wasn't Brola," Lazuli spoke up, earning his attention. "Brola may be a bit crass and jungle sometimes, but she still has a heart. That person you were fighting, who I'm sure said some really hateful things wasn't your wife, wasn't my sister, and wasn't a mother." Lazuli shook her head with Bulma nodding agreement. "It was Babidi,"
"I still had to put her down," Naruto frowned. "I wasn't scared for me, I was scared for my family. She threatened it, and I knew she was serious. I even considered killing her so…" Bulma pulled Naruto into a hug as he closed his eyes, his voice now quiet. "Is it my fault? Did I make her feel that way? I never wanted her to feel that way, I…"
"Tell her that," Lazuli comforted her husband, rubbing his back. "When she comes off timeout, tell her how much you love her, show her, prove it to her. Fix whatever you felt you did wrong," Lazuli told him as he slowly nodded. "But right now, you can't worry about Brola. We only have a certain amount of time to get some good training in, lets use it?"
"Yeah, those kids are depending on you love," Bulma smiled. "You and Goku are the strongest in the universe. Under your teachings, I'm sure those rascals will be great," Bulma told him before pulling him in for a loving passionate kiss that he returned. Once he pulled away, Lazuli pulled him for a kiss as well which lasted a few moments longer. Pulling away, he smiled as he hugged his wives.
"I love you,"
"We love you too dear."
"Alright twerps, welcome to Saiyan Boot camp!"
Goku gave a snicker at Naruto as he and his friend stood before the seven children before them. All of them were basically dressed in the same outfit, black Gi pants with an black spandex top and a white saiyan vest. All the kids paid as close attention as they could. "As you all probably know, the earth is in danger, and it's gonna need your help," hearing this made Goten, Trunks and Asura grin. "You're part of it's competent last line of defense. As we speak Majin Buu is probably down there wreaking havoc. Our goal? Train our asses off to wipe that fat bitch off the face of existence. Hoorah!"
"Hoorah!"
"Now, Goku, Gohan, Piccolo and I are going to be your trainers. Eighteen, Krillin, Yamcha and Master Roshi are going to pitch in too," Naruto said earning nods of agreement from said people. "Behind you, is one of our only keys to kicking some major ass. The Hyperbolic Time chamber,"
"Hype whats it now?" Augus raised a brow.
"Hyperbolic time chamber,"
Hyperglemic crime chamber?"
"Stop," Naruto told them, knowing damn well King Kai was messing with him. "The Hyperbolic Time Chamber is very special and very cool, especially since we upgraded it, but not only that, we also have the Pendulum room," Naruto smirked. "Two reasons why this Lookout is so cool, awesome ways to train!" Naruto rolled his neck. "Now pay attention because I'm only going to say this once. Got it?"
"Yes."
"Good. The time chamber, is a door to another dimension. Another dimension we're going to abuse the hell out of. One day out here, is one year in there," Naruto grinned earning wide eyes. "With the Dragonballs a long time ago, we were able to wish for the time chamber to allow a person an entry of four days of entry. Not only that, thanks to Mr. Popo we can fit three people inside. Say thank you Mr. Popo,"
"Thank you Mr. Popo,"
Said being nodded with a smirk. "Now I really don't know how much time we have until Buu destroys the world. So we're going to use the chamber at least twice, giving you twerps at least two years of training," Naruto explained. "Two of you will be paired together and given a sensei. While you are in there, those out here will be training just as hard using the Pendulum room which sends a persons mind to any point in time," Naruto told them, earning nods.
"Now here are the pairings," Naruto started as he looked them over. "Trunks and Goten," the two nodded. "Augus and Asura," this earned glares from the two boys at each other. "Miya and Karasuba," both girls simply glanced at each other then back to Naruto, "Samui will be paired with me," Naruto smiled, earning a smile from his daughter. He then glanced to his friend, giving a small nod, "Goku."
"Okay! So kids, over the years I learned of a special cool dance from Metamorans in Other World when I visited King Kai," Goku said with Naruto nodding in agreement. "It's called Fusion. A merger dance, that is done between two people of similar height and similar physical ability," he then glanced to Naruto who nodded. "Once done correctly, you become into one powerful warrior! Or so I've heard," he chuckled.
"And that is how we're going to beat Buu," Naruto threw in. "Or at least one of the ways. Goku and I are going to teach it to you guys, and when you go into the time chamber, you'll practice until you get it right. Though there is a time limit of 30 minutes, and will be an hour before fusion can be done again," Naruto explained.
"Have you guys fused yet?" Trunks wondered but Naruto and Goku shook their heads, though Miya had a feeling they were lying. "So when do we get started?!" Trunks asked excitedly.
"Calm down Trunks, we're gonna start soon. First we need to teach you how to do the dance. Then the first group will go in, Trunks and Goten that will be you two with Gohan," Naruto told them. "Alright, ready to get started?"
"Yeah!"
It took a few hours at best for the kids to get a good idea with the fusion dance, and Piccolo to understand it as well. Once they all understood the concept and the details behind it, Trunks and Goten were the first pair to go into the chamber with Gohan following them. They would be given a day so the next pair could go in, which would be Asura and Augus with Naruto. Each pair would go in at least once, and if there was time for a second day, then they would go in for a second day. Once Goten and Trunks were in the chamber, Naruto and Goku focused on the others as best as they could with Krillin, Roshi and Lazuli to help them. Naruto was also glad very big training room in the lookout, which they used to their advantage.
The first thing Naruto and Goku focused on was teamwork. Why? Because if they fought Majin Buu alone then they would surely die. Naruto expressed this very heavily to them all. He didn't care about losing to Buu and dying when it was just him, but these were kids, his kids. Honestly, he didn't even want them near Majin Buu, but he wasn't left with much choice considering Piccolo was basically scared shitless.
The group was able to work on physical teamwork for several hours in the training room, before heading to the Pendulum room. The first place the kids went for training was Namek, participating in the battle against the Ginyu force and against Frieza. Naruto at first thought the saga would be useless considering how weak the Ginyu force was for Goku, and how easy he dealt with Frieza as a Super Saiyan. The kids had surpassed that level by the time they were six. But he was actually quite glad they got decimated.
He learned from Popo that the pendulum room was always challenging the minds of it's users. So even though the users may be stronger, the room would always be stronger, making the room very useful. Naruto and Goku left the kids to their own devices against the Ginyu force and Frieza, while they themselves began to train as well, including, Piccolo, Lazuli and Krillin in their training. Videl had no real choice but to sit on the sidelines and watch, simply amazed by the fighters. Coming to the conclusion that these were the real saviors of Earth, not her father.
By the end of the day, Naruto and Goku checked the damages made to earth and were quite surprised it was so little. Sure a few people died, but the most damages were to stores concerning food, especially sweets. Still Naruto was rather wary, so he sent a few clones to earth to scout out the damage and one to keep a very close eye on Majin Buu.
When a day had passed, the door to the time chamber opened and Trunks and Goten walked out with Gohan behind them, a new air of confidence about them. Both Naruto and Goku could actually feel the power difference from the two boys who excitedly greeted their fathers. While it may have been a day for those outside, it was a whole year for those inside, and a year without the love and affection of their parents made the boys deeply miss them. Even Bulma and Lazuli were quite surprised when Trunks showed them lots of love which wasn't very normal for the cocky boy.
With Trunks and Goten out of the time chamber, and ready to continue training, Naruto focused on Asura and Augus who were next to go in. Naruto left the others in Goku and Piccolo's capable hands, as he himself went inside the chamber with the two boys. It was very…unique experience for Naruto considering this was his first time using it as well. Once he got over his initial shock of how cool it is, the first thing he did to get the boys started was have them settle whatever rivalry they had. He didn't have the time nor the patience to deal with their egos and attitudes battling against each other. So they went all out until neither of them had any fight left.
After their battle, he trained them individually and as a team to build their skills. Once he felt they were at a good place, skill wise and relationship wise, he had them do the fusion. He had to have them basically be at the same level for the fusion to actually work, as well be even with each other. It worked out for Goten and Trunks so well because they were best friends. It took his son and Vegeta's son several attempts to get it right before they finally got it perfect and they trained hard for the rest of the year.
Training aside, Naruto also worked very hard to strengthen his bond with his son, and create a strong bond with Vegeta's. He knew how harsh Vegeta was towards his kids, with Masa being the barrier between them. Vegeta was the overbearing stubborn parent with Masa being the loving caretaker, to balance the kids out. Naruto understood why Asura and Augus had some kind of rivalry because they were basically their fathers. Asura was a lot like him and Augus was a lot like Vegeta, it was kind of scary.
But none the less, he did his best to play a fatherly role to Augus, and if not a father then a big brother role like he did with Gohan. By the time they left, Asura and Augus were rather good friends, though it didn't seem like it. Which was similar to Naruto's own relationship with Vegeta. The three left the chamber and Naruto promptly understood why Trunks and Goten were so emotional when coming out. Since his marriage to Bulma, he had never gone so long without any kind of contact with his wives. So when Naruto came out, he immediately took the chance to make love to both of his wives which caught them by surprise but they accepted it happily, enjoying the passion Naruto had he pounded them senseless into the bed.
The next day, Naruto took Miya and Karasuba inside the chamber and restarted the process. However he was rather amazed by the skills the two showed, as they battled an entire day before Karasuba had finally snapped. Naruto was really surprised along with Miya when Karasuba ascended to a Super Saiyan two and gave Miya an even harder time. Naruto felt was a bit harder to put their rivalry to the side, because it felt it was just in their DNA. But he did have them team together on multiple occasions and he noticed the dynamic between them which was rather nostalgic. Their rivalry reminded him of his rivalry with Sasuke. However, Miya took the role of Sasuke and Karasuba took his role, which was really strange. But he experimented with it as best he could and by eight months the two were more than ready to leave, however they continued to sharpen their skills for the next four months.
Once they walked out, Naruto once again made love to his wives, just as passionate as he did the day before. Naruto then entered the chamber for a third time with Samui and Goku. Naruto knew that Samui really didn't have anyone to fuse with, which was completely fine. Why? Because he felt Samui was the strongest of the kids, which was actually surprising considering how talented Miya is.
The reason Naruto felt Samui was the strongest was because, her siblings could go Super Saiyan and ascend. She, could not. Naruto did not know why, nor did he really care which very much relieved Samui. He understood that she felt like the weak link because she couldn't go Super Saiyan like her siblings, but she worked even harder than them to be on the same level as them.
So Naruto's goal was for Samui to reach her full potential. And with he and Goku training her, he was pretty sure she would soon be able to beat the her siblings no sweat, Super Saiyan or not. By the time she left after the full year, she was way more confident in her skills than before. Gohan soon replaced Samui in the chamber, allowing Naruto, Goku and Piccolo to continue their training without any problems. But as they trained…
Super Buu was upon them.
