When she got home, she greeted Chi-Chi and Goten, then went outside, training by herself. 'Son Goku was strong enough to beat Master Freeza. I can't even beat King Vegeta, yet he's stronger than him. Master Gohan was stronger than King Vegeta at one pointed, but now it's a question. Piccolo is strong, I can feel his ki, and 18 has an unlimited amount of energy, and can't feel pain. They're all strong, and I can't copy ki anymore.' Buki was training so hard, she didn't even notice Gohan get home. Chi-Chi came out and frowned. "Buki, I don't want you fighting. It sets a bad example for Goten." Buki bowed to her. "I apologize, Mistress Chi-Chi. I was wondering if you have anymore college books. I have already memorized all the ones you gave me… and, I know it's not my place to ask anything, but could I possibly train?"
Chi-Chi frowned, but paused. "I suppose this once it's okay. You are doing very well in school." "Thank you, Mistress Chi-Chi." Buki bowed, then continued to train, punching at the air. She sighed. "This is too easy." She mumbled, then went inside. "Mistress Chi-Chi?" She called to the woman in the kitchen. She turned to her. "May I go to King Vegeta's to train?" "I don't see why not. But, you have two hours." "Yes. Of course." Buki bowed, then flew as fast as she could to Bulma's. She knocked on the door and Vegeta answered. "I'm sorry to disturb you, King Vegeta." Buki bowed. "But, I was wondering if I could train here." "Sure. Maybe I'll join you later." Vegeta shrugged. Buki nodded and went to the gravity room. She pressed the button and changed her clothes. After a while, Vegeta and Trunks joined her, though they turned down the gravity a little for Trunks to get used to before turning it up again.
"King Vegeta." Buki turned to the older Saiyan. "Do you mind if I spar with you?" She got into a fighting stance. "Not at all." Vegeta smirked. "It's better to train that way anyway." He jumped at her and she dodged, kicking from the side, but was blocked. Trunks stopped to watch them fight as they moved faster than the human eye could see. After a while, they stopped, panting. Vegeta was slouched with blood dripping out of his mouth. Buki was on one knee, panting just as hard. Blood dripped from a wound on her forehead. Dents and craters covered the gravity room's walls, floor, and ceiling. Both were bruised. "Th-that… was amazing!" Trunks gasped. Vegeta chuckled. "I should get going. Mistress Chi-Chi will be expecting me back." Buki forced herself up and bowed. "You should come to train some more." Vegeta invited, then got back to punching the air as Buki nodded to Trunks, then left, saying goodbye to Bulma.
Buki was so tired, she borrowed a jet-flier from Bulma, though her's was made to go faster. She reached home after an hour and half. "Buki!" A voice yelled as she landed. She looked out the window and saw Gohan, Goten and Chi-Chi running out the door. She stumbled out of the vehicle, still breathing kinda heavy. "I apologize for being so late. I was training with King Vegeta and we went all-out." She remembered she was in her training clothes and pressed the button. "You were training for the Budokai, right?" Chi-Chi asked. Buki nodded. "Master told me to let him tell you." "Mom. I was wondering if me and Buki could miss a few days to train." Gohan asked. "Of course!" Chi-Chi said. "But first, let's fix you up." Chi-Chi brought Buki in and took care of her. "Sorry." Buki said. "Don't worry about it." Chi-Chi smiled. "Just do your best."
~O~O~O~
Buki followed the boys out into the woods the next morning to train. "I guess I'll start off as Super Saiyan." Gohan said. Buki nodded as she pressed her button, then took off her mask, both going Super Saiyan. "All right, let's begin!" Gohan said. "Yeah!" Goten cheered. Buki left the boys to do what they wanted as she laid on the ground, bench-pressing her sword as she made it heavier for her. After a while, Buki went back to see if they'd spar with her. She didn't show her surprise when she saw Goten and Gohan fighting, both Super Saiyan. Suddenly, Goten kicked at Gohan, and he dodged by flying. "Come down, Gohan!" Goten called. "That's not fair." "Wh-what?" Gohan asked. "You can turn Super Saiyan… but you can't fly?" "Uh-huh." Goten pouted. "... Whatever happened to doing things in order?" Gohan mumbled. Buki suddenly hit Gohan with her fists together, sending him flying into the ground next to Goten.
Buki flew down as Gohan flew out of his crater. "What was that for?" He asked. "A few reasons." Buki said. "One, you should've been able to dodge that. You should keep your guard up always. Two, your brother's down here. You can't practice if Goten can't fly. Three… we have a visitor." Buki pointed to the sky. They looked up and saw Videl. Gohan sighed and started talking to himself. "Goten, you should turn off Super Saiyan." Buki said. "How come?" Goten asked her. "A girl from our school's coming here. Don't show her how strong you are, and you can never turn Super Saiyan in front of her!" Gohan warned. "Because she'll think I'm a punk?" Goten asked. Buki giggled a little. "Well… something like that." Gohan said. The two turned normal. "Why isn't Buki turning back?" Goten asked. "The blonde hair is part of my costume." Buki said. "But, that also means I can't change back unless I change my clothes." She sighed.
She ran ahead of the boys. 'Mistress doesn't like girls very much. How will she react to Videl?' Buki thought. She stopped at the treeline, waiting for Gohan and Goten to catch up. She watched Videl and Chi-Chi talk at the door. "Are you sure you didn't come here to ask 'im out?" Chi-Chi asked. "I said no!" Both women had their hands on their hips. "... Oh." Chi-Chi looked up. "Greetings." Buki bowed to Chi-Chi once the brothers had caught up. "Hi…" Gohan greeted. "Mistress Chi-Chi, Videl is in our class." Buki whispered to the older woman. "I believe she may have, what you refer to as, a 'crush' on Master Gohan." Chi-Chi and Buki looked at the two. "Gohan, is she really gonna be in this tournament?" Chi-Chi asked. "Yeah, she is, mom." Gohan smiled.
"She was the one who told me about the tournament to begin with. I promised to teach her how to fly." "Hmph! Well, all right then." Chi-Chi said. "But, you better not be thinkin' you're gonna use this to snag 'im!" She said to Videl. "Oh, I'm sure!" Videl growled, gritting her teeth. "Don't worry, Mistress Chi-Chi." Buki whispered to her. "Me and Goten will keep an eye on them for you." "Please do." Chi-Chi whispered back, glaring at Videl. Goten grabbed Buki's hands, smiling cutely at her. Buki smiled a little at him, causing Videl to stare. "She… smiled…" Videl mumbled. "Yeah. She does smile sometimes. Usually when she's with Goten." Gohan said. "She… has a pretty smile." Videl mumbled, causing Gohan to chuckle. Buki kneeled next to Goten. "Goten, chances are Videl will take awhile to get the hang of flying. Would you help me train?" "Sure!" Goten grinned. Buki closed her eyes and tilted her head, smiling wider.
After walking for a while, the four stopped in a clear area. "Okay! You're about to learn how to fly!" Gohan grinned. "It's just a matter controlling ki, so it's not too hard. Although it can get tricky when you try to go fast…" "Controlling 'ki'? What's 'ki'?" Videl asked. Buki sighed, pressed her bracelet and turned back to normal, then started meditating as Gohan and Goten tried to explain. "Like this." Goten said, then shot an energy ball at the clift. "Yeah. That kind of energy." Gohan said. Buki once again sighed when Videl blushed, obviously still confused. "So, what do you call it?" Gohan asked. "Um… a trick?" Videl said. "It's not a trick!" Gohan smiled. "It's real power!" "Then it's magic!" Videl yelled. "I don't know-" "Videl, close your eyes." Buki instructed suddenly, but didn't open her eyes. Videl looked at her, confused. "What?" "Just do it." Buki got up, walking to them. She pushed Videl down, then sat in front of her.
"Close your eyes and relax." Buki instructed, going back to meditating. "Before you learn to control ki, you have to feel your own. Take deep breaths. Concentrate on how your body is feeling." Videl did as she was told. Suddenly, her eyes shot open. "Did you feel it?" Buki asked. Goten and Gohan grinned. "Your ki was rising!" Gohan cheered. "You mean that weird feeling swirling inside of me?" Videl asked. "What does that mean?" "Usually, your ki rises when you fight, but once you have control over it, you can also control how it feels." Buki explained. "Here. I'll be right back." She quickly flew to the house. "W-... will I be able to fly that fast?" Videl asked. "I don't think so." Gohan said. "I don't think I've ever seen anyone as fast as Buki." "Buki's the fastest!" Goten cheered. Buki suddenly landed in front of them.
"Sorry I took so long. I couldn't find the scouter." Buki stood up straight and walked to Videl. "Where'd you get a scouter?" Gohan asked. "I got it from Bulma. She fixed it so she could read it, so…" Buki put the scouter on Videl and turned it on. "Master, could you lower your ki?" She asked. "Sure." Gohan nodded. "Face Master and then look at the number on the screen." Buki said. "Now, Master could you raise your ki?" Gohan nodded and Videl watched the numbers rise. "Hey, it didn't break." Gohan said. Buki nodded, taking the scouter back and turning it off. "Bulma also made it stronger so she could read power levels, no matter how strong." She said, then flew back to the house, putting it away, then flew back.
"Now, I believe Videl has some idea of what ki is." Buki said. "I think it'll be easier to train them now." Buki said, then went to meditating. After a while, Chi-Chi came over and called them for lunch. Buki nodded, then picked up Goten, putting him on her back, then picked up Chi-Chi. "Woah! What are you doing?" Chi-Chi screeched while Goten laughed. "I'm sorry. I believed this would be faster." Buki said, looking at her. "I can put you down if you like, Mistress Chi-Chi." Chi-Chi thought for a moment, then shook her head. "No, you're right. This is faster." She said. "Just don't go too fast." "Of course." Buki nodded. "I'd never dream of going full speed with beginners." She smiled at Goten, then took off. Goten laughed loudly as they flew.
Gohan laughed and grabbed Videl. "Hey! W-w-what do you think y-you're doing?" She blushed. "We have to catch up." Gohan grinned, then flew after them. They landed shortly after Buki. They sat around the table, Buki next to Goten. After a few bites of a sandwich, Buki got up. "Thank you for lunch, Mistress Chi-Chi." She bowed. "Are you going back?" Gohan asked. Buki nodded. "Wait for me!" Goten said, then started eating faster. "Goten, slow down!" Chi-Chi exclaimed. Buki put a hand on the younger boy's. "Goten, please slow down. I'll wait for you." She said. Goten grinned and nodded. "Buki, you didn't eat much." Videl said. "Are you on a diet?" "Diet?" Buki tilted her head. "No. I just don't eat a lot." Videl stared at her, then shrugged, then Buki went a little away from them and started meditating, ignoring the others.
After a while, she felt a tap on her shoulder and looked over at Goten. "Are you finished?" She asked. Goten nodded. "Alright, let's go." She kneeled down and Goten climbed on her back. "Go as fast as you can!" Goten cheered. "I don't know if that is wise. You may get hurt." Buki said. "And I might fly over the spot." "Then, let's fly to the city and back as fast as you can." Goten grinned. "Then, I suggest you climb on front." She pulled him around and held him at her front, then disappeared. The group of three slightly jumped when the two appeared next to Videl. Buki looked the same, but Goten's hair now looked slicked back. "What… happened to your hair, Goten?" Gohan asked. "I believe that was my flying." Buki said. "I was born with spiky hair, as most full-blooded uh… ahem, but after flying like that, it straightened. Goten's won't stay like that for long."
Buki set him down, then grabbed two water bottles. Goten laughed and walked to his mother, but couldn't walk straight. "Buki's really fast!" He said. "It made me really dizzy." Buki chuckled, then picked him up. "Let's go back to teaching you how to fly." She said, lifting him to her back. Suddenly, his hair shot up in it's normal crazy hairstyle. Buki and Goten laughed, then they took off. They landed and started training once again. After trying for a while, Goten was able to fly around, but not very fast. He landed on the ground, panting. "It's really hard." He groaned. "It will get easier over time." Buki said, handing him a water bottle. Goten nodded. "Buki, how do you go so fast?" "I had a lot of bad things put inside me that changed my ki." Buki frowned. "Bulma got most of it out, but my ki never went back to normal. I'm not very strong, but I'm faster than most other people. That's also why I have my sword." "Oh. Let's keep going." Goten grinned.
~O~O~O~
After a while, Videl and Gohan came back. By the time the sun was setting, Goten was flying faster, but Videl could only levitate. "Good job! You learned to float in just one day!" Gohan exclaimed. "Is it that great?" Videl sighed, looking up at Goten. "Look at me, Gohan! Look, Buki!" Goten exclaimed. "That's better." Buki nodded. "In less than a week, you'll be flying as fast as your brother. Probably in a few days, three at most." "... He had a good grasp of ki already." Gohan shrugged. "You'll be able to fly like him… soon." "Master Gohan's right." Buki landed next to Gohan. "In the beginning, Goten was shooting ki-blasts, but you didn't even know what ki was. He was ahead of you already." "I'll come again tomorrow." Videl decided. Buki shrugged and went up to Goten. "I believe Videl is leaving. We should say goodbye." She told the younger boy.
"See ya!" Videl said as her jet-flier appeared. "Yeah…" Gohan trailed off. "Um… actually…" "What?" Videl asked, stopping as Goten and Buki landed next to Gohan. "It's... about your hair." Gohan said. "I think you should cut it short." "What?" Videl looked at him, then started blushing and stroking her hair. "You like girls… with short hair?" "Huh? N-no! It's just that short hair would be better in a fight." Gohan explained. "Long hair could get in your eyes. Or the other guy could pull on it." Videl blushed out of embarrassment. "So what?! My hair's my business!" She yelled, then slammed her door and flew off. "Why'd she get mad?" Goten asked. "I don't know." Gohan said. "All I know is…" He groaned. "I can't train like this!" "Videl wasn't mad, she was embarrassed." Buki said. "And we can train now." She got into a fighting stance. "Right." Goten turned Super Saiyan and attacked her. Gohan joined the fight after a moment.
~O~O~O~
The next day, Videl came back with her hair cut. "Gohan, who's that?" Goten asked. "Buki?" "That's Videl with her hair cut." Buki said. "She did it because Master asked her to." She whispered in Goten's ear. He stuck his tongue out and made a face. "Gross." He said. Buki chuckled. "So you know what that means." "Come on! Let's pick up where we left off!" Videl demanded. "Girls… I don't understand…" Gohan said in defeat. "I'm sorry, Master." Buki bowed. "I could explain. I've read a lot of books about emotion and I understand." "No. I don't think I want to know." Gohan sighed. They started training, Gohan with Videl and Goten with Buki. Buki flew next to Goten, while Gohan worked with Videl on the ground. Suddenly, Gohan flew up and stopped the two. "Hey, don't fly any faster while Videl's around." He whispered to them. They nodded, then continued while Gohan went back to Videl to help her.
After a while, Goten and Buki went down for a break, landing next to Gohan. "Oh… um… mostly my dad, before he died." He said. "Yeah?" Videl asked, stretching. "Was he pretty strong, too?" "Yeah. Very." Gohan smiled. "In fact, he's coming back for the tournament!" Goten grinned. "What? Coming back? I thought you said he was dead!" Videl said. "Goten, you idiot!" Gohan yelled at his brother. "I told you not to tell." "Oops." Goten covered his mouth. Buki chuckled, sitting crossed-legged on the ground. Goten sat on her lap while Videl talked, though neither were listening. "Umm…" Gohan muttered, speechless. "Jeez. Dad's are so weird…" Videl crossed her arms. Buki hugged Goten. "You should be proud of your dad." She whispered in Goten's ear as Videl and Gohan went back to training.
"Without your dad, I wouldn't be here." Buki continued. "The Namekians would all be dead, the last of the Saiyans would be gone, Earth would probably be gone as well as a whole bunch of other species." She listed. "Where would you be?" Goten asked, playing with her hair. "Probably in my capsule, in a coma, waiting for Master Freeza to need me again. I'd be covered in bombs, sleeping. That's where I'd be." Buki sighed. "Well, I'm glad I found you that day." Goten smiled. "And now you're with us." "Yeah." Buki smiled back and lightly squeezed Goten, who laughed. "Let's make sure to thank your father when we see him." She said. "Okay." Goten said. Gohan smiled from afar as he looked at his younger brother and Buki. "Now, let's get back to training!" Goten said, jumping up. "Yes, sir." Buki smiled, flying up, Goten following.
So, new question... Who is your favorite and least favorite villain from any of the shows? My favorite is Majin Boo, because he is literally a little kid doing what he was told. My least favorite is probably... Turles. I feel like that was a boring arc to watch. At least for me.
