Hey everyone, it's that time of year that kids love and adults cry over. This is my christmas present to ya'll so I hope you enjoy it. Merry Christmas.
With a war cry, Videl swung her leg high, nailing her opponent in the head. As the man stumbled backwards, Videl ran at the slightly taller green man, jumping into the air and landed with her legs on her opponent's shoulders. Leaning backwards, Videl planted her arms on the ground and used her momentum to flip her opponent through the air and into a wall, knocking him out. Perfect. When the little guy woke up, he could tell her everything she wanted to know.
Suddenly, a cry of "Dodon Ray" rang out and the subsequent beam flew out of nowhere, piercing the fallen man. Whipping around, Videl saw her newly appointed bodyguard standing with his index finger pointed out, his own opponent with a hole in his body.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Videl screamed out frustrated. "Why do you have to keep killing everybody?!"
Tien just looked at her before pointing at the many dead bodies around them. "They would've killed us if I didn't kill them," he replied.
"Don't you think we could've kept one of them alive so we could interrogate him?"
"What's the point? They're all pirates. They would've just told us a bunch of crap and I would've killed them anyways."
Videl seethed. It was times like these that the Satan girl regretted her decision to bail this guy out. True, the guy was good, displaying the same odd abilities as Gohan had; a pretty good asset when you kept getting attacked by space pirates every other day. But when you wanted to use one, just one guy to get some answers, the bald bodyguard was a nuisance.
"You know, we could ask one of them why every single pirate seems to be attacking everything that moves," Videl said, still seething.
"Oh. I never thought about that. We can do that next time."
That was it. That was all she could take. Videl was going to beat her bodyguard to a pulp. She didn't care if he was the better martial artists of the two; this guy was going to get a well deserved ass whooping. It was only a hoarse cough from the pirate at Tien's feet that saved him from the promising beating.
"You…want to know…why?" A brown, insect-like pirate said, blue blood dripping from his mouth.
Tien stared at the insect before replying "Yeah, we'd like that if you wouldn't mind spilling your guts."
A low chuckle followed by another hoarse cough was the insect's reply before he said "The Galactic Tyrant…was found…floating…out in space," another hoarse cough was made, blood joining the expelling air, "…no one knows…how it…happened…but…no sign…of Bojack…anywhere…"
"That makes some sense. Allow me to ease you passing as a token of gratitude," Tien responded.
The insect smiled. "That…would be…most welcomed…"
Videl turned around, not wanting to see Tien's final strike. Throughout her entire life, Videl had never seen so much death around her, the only exception being at Cash's mansion on Vegeta. It was going to be awhile before she ever got use to all the carnage around her.
"So Bojack's not being a menace anymore," Tien said as he stared down at the recently deceased pirate.
"I've heard that name before," Videl said, turning around, "Who is he?"
Tien looked up at his employer. "Bojack is a vicious space pirate. Very cruel and unforgiving. He's not very good with competition so many other pirates tended to stay away from this area of space. That's about the only good thing you can say about him, reducing the number of pirate attacks in this part of space. But now it looks like a lot of other pirates are trying to take advantage of his disappearance and take over Bojack's territory. It at least tells us why we've been getting attacked a lot," Tien explained.
Videl slowly nodded her head, this new information sinking in. Ever since they had left Vegeta, they had been attacked by a different crew of pirates almost every other day or that's what it seemed like to the girl.
"So when do you think we'll be able to travel without these pests on heels?" Videl asked.
"Probably when we get into the protected space territory of Earth, though I wouldn't count on it," was Tien's answer. "But for the time being, I think we need to clean up this mess so we can get going again. And tell that blond friend of yours that it's safe to come out now."
Videl nodded. Once again, Erasa had been able to convince the Satan girl into letting her tag along. Although she was a liability in fights, her ability to get certain things the party needed was very useful. Personally, Videl would've preferred just beating someone senseless to get what she wanted but the less conflict, the better.
And for the time being, Videl had to find that blond girl. 'Now if I was a blond, where would I hide,' Videl thought as she walked down the ship's corridor.
'Insane' was all Gohan could think of as he stared out of a stone balcony doorway. Outside of the balcony, a mob of people were camping outside, busy doing their daily chores. It wasn't like seeing a mob was all that relevant to the saiyan, it was just that this particular mob stretch out for miles towards the horizon.
White tents decorated the landscape as men, women, and children, resembling Bibidi, carried on their daily lives as if they had always lived there. However, from what Gohan understood, these weren't homeless people but protesters. People from all over the globe had traveled to this one particular spot to show their protest of Majin Buu's inability to drive away the attacking human forces.
According to Bibidi, Buu had always been able to drive away invading forces quite easily; making the people happy and carefree of any sort of trouble. However, when the humans proved more persistent, calls for immediate expulsion of the invading force soon became rampant. As time wore on, calls for Buu to step down as guardian were made so that some kind of treaty could be made with the humans. Yet, Buu continued his job as guardian, protecting the planet without a care in the world. When the people discovered that their message was being ignored, they came in droves, camping out on Bibidi's property, trying to prove that the whole population was against their planet's protector.
"Madness, isn't it?" Bibidi said as he walked over to stand next to Gohan.
"Got that right. When did they all start doing this?" Gohan asked still looking out at the mob.
"A couple months after the first Earthling invasion. They've been living there for a good part of the year. I don't know where they got the idea that making a treaty with the Earthlings will benefit them but they need to get that out of their heads"
Gohan nodded. "Did they expect this invasion would only last a month or something? No war that I know of has ever been that short unless the aggressor was too invested in it."
"Apparently so. It's a shame that they can't see what that treaty with the Earthlings will ultimately do."
"You'd think that they had never heard of the Namekian genocide."
Bibidi chuckled. "Indeed. But ignorance is bliss and these people just want an easy way out. It's not like the Earthlings have done too much damage to the people here; Buu's made sure of that."
Gohan nodded. These people had no idea who they were dealing with. It wasn't like the humans would just stop their conquest with a treaty or two. They would eventually take the planet as their own and do away with the native inhabitants, just like all of the other planets they had taken.
"I'm sorry to hear that. They don't know how good they have it. I hope it doesn't take till the humans have nearly wiped them out to realize it."
Bibidi nodded his head in agreement. "Something tells me they'll figure it out soon enough."
Gohan just continued to stare out at the sea of protesters. Suddenly, he turned to look at Bibidi. "May I ask a favor of you?"
Bibidi turned to look at Gohan. "And that would be?" he inquired.
"I need to get my hands on a spaceship with enough room for me and the younger two. Think you can help me out?" Gohan answered.
Bibidi smiled. "Most certainly. I'll have your ship ready by tomorrow afternoon."
"Thank you," Gohan said before leaving towards a bedroom. Might as well get some rest until then.
As the morning sun lit up the sky, the entire populous of Majin protestors awoke to a scene best described as a nightmare.
Before them a large infantry force stood, looking over the enormous crowd from atop a ridge. Humans baring the infamous Blitz rifles positioned themselves along the ridge, ready for the order to attack.
However, the crowd of civilians went into an instant panic; chaos dominating the camp as the people tried to escape their inevitable fate.
Grinning with malice, the commanding officer gave out the attack order; the beams of blitz blasts subsequently flew through the air, biting into their helpless victims.
This was the scene that Gohan and company saw the moment they rushed to the balcony doorway; apprehension anger starting to overwhelm them.
However, before any of the saiyans could move, they felt their bodies freeze. It was as if an invisible blanket had been laid on them. Even as they struggled to move, they soon came to the conclusion that they were trapped…again. But for some odd reason, they didn't have that alarmed feeling they did when Bojack's cronies had paralyzed them.
"Wait," was all they heard from their captor Bibidi. "Buu will handle this. It's what he was created for."
Keeping their eyes looking through the small portal that the balcony doorway provided them, they watched as the humans slaughtered the Majin protestors; all the while, horror consumed the saiyans. When was that fat pink blob going to end this madness?
Suddenly, the rifle fire ceased. The sounds of Majin Buu's childish laughter soon reached the saiyan's ears, causing the three to sigh in relief. Bibidi soon released the captive warriors who then rushed out on to the stone balcony. Before them, a devastating battlefield littered with bodies appeared. Looking towards the ridge that the humans had positioned themselves, Gohan saw Majin Buu standing with his back to the ugly scene, facing the human soldiers and laughing his childish laugh.
"Buu see you want to play more. You make Buu happy," the pink blob said followed by his childish laughter.
The soldiers froze in places, each one shaking nervously as Buu stood before them.
"Buu have good idea. Buu want to go to house. We play there," Buu said as he continued to chat with the frightened men. "Come. Buu show you way."
Turning around to head to his house, Buu's sight finally beheld the battlefield behind him. Slowly, his squinted eyes opened, fully taking in the devastating scene. Losing his calm, childish demeanor, Buu stuttered "Wha-what happened? Why are people dead?"
One officer managed to find his voice and began gloating about the destruction. "You see that fat boy? We did that. And if you know what's good for you, you'll give up the planet to us. So what do ya say?"
Taking a few steps towards the destruction, Buu began to whimper slightly, his eyes transfixed on the horrible sight. When the words of the officer reached his ears, the innocent eyes soon took on an angry look, rage building up inside Buu as white and pink smoke soon started to seep out of the holes dotting his body. Gritting his teeth, Buu gave off a cry of rage and sorrow as the smoke racing out of him, the streams never stopping.
The humans watched the spectacle in fascination. What the heck was this guy doing?
As Buu screamed, his voice transformed from one of high pitch to a very deep and twisted one. The smoke flying from his holes increased in velocity as it headed up high into the sky, collecting with the rest that had already been gathering up there.
Staring at the forming cloud of smoke, Goten finally asked "What's going on out there?"
Suddenly, Bibidi came running out onto the balcony, apprehension dominating his features.
"This is bad," the wizard said worryingly, "Something's wrong with Buu. Can't you feel it?"
The three saiyans looked at Bibidi before looking back to the scene in front to them, alternating staring at Buu screaming and the growing cloud of smoke. "You have any idea what's going on here?" Trunks asked.
"Can't you feel it? That cloud is no ordinary cloud. There's something in there that's not right," Bibidi replied as he grew more nervous with each passing second.
Gohan focused his senses on the growing cloud, nearly jumping out of his skin when he felt a dark presence. What the hell was in that cloud? It was full of dark emotions, twisted intent, and completely chaotic. Gohan could even go as far as saying that thing was darkness itself.
Suddenly, Buu stopped screaming, promptly collapsing to the ground unconscious. It took a little time but the human soldiers began celebrating, cheering and firing their weapons into the air. They had finally defeated the planet's powerful protector and they hadn't lost a single man.
However, they failed to recognize the large cloud that loomed overhead. The only people paying it any mind were Bibidi and the saiyans; the Majin protestors abandoning their camp and the humans still in mid celebration. It was because of that that only those four got to see the spectacle of the cloud condensing and taking a more solid form.
Once the cloud had reached its peak size, the cloud began to shrink, retracting on itself. No definite shape took form until the cloud was only a few feet in diameter. Slowly, the gas stretched itself till it was about four to five feet tall. At its bottom, legs began to take shape. Arms grew out as a torso appeared. Once the main part of the body seemed to be definable; a head started to take form, an antenna looking thing perched on top.
As the cloud took shape, suddenly the gas became a pink colored skin; white pants and black boots covering the lower half with a black M on the belt. Black forearm covering appeared as a small, child like creature finished taking form. Floating above everyone and everything, the pink child looked around. The creature looked like a smaller and skinnier version of Buu; it's eyes the only difference between the two. Instead of black eyes surrounded by white, red eyes surrounded by black showed the difference between the two Majins.
As the pink child's eyes fell onto the celebrating soldiers, something told him that they didn't belong here, that they were a menace and needed to be dealt with. A smirk made itself known on the child's face.
It had no problem eradicating such pests.
With a cruel cackle, this pink creature flew straight at its unsuspecting prey. However, due to its laugh, the soldiers immediately saw the charging creature. Cold chills ran down their spines as they stared at it in wonder and a growing sense of fear. Quickly, they unleashed the fire power of their blitz rifles, the beams hitting the pink child in midair, tearing him into pieces. Small bits and pieces fell to the ground signifying the last of the pink thing. Laughter erupted from the soldiers as they once again started to celebrate, but this time their celebrating would be cut short.
The bits and pieces began to move.
Before their eyes, the pink pieces began to work their way, slowly at first but eventually gaining speed, together. Soon, the form of the pink child took shape, kneeling on the ground with one of its arms resting on its bent leg; not even a scratch on his rubbery pink skin. A stern look was etched on its face, looking over the soldiers as fear became prominent of their faces. A smirk then crossed his face. It was time for this pink guy to have some fun now.
The chilling cackle once again erupted from the child's mouth as it raised one of its arms and suddenly fired it at high speeds, catching its victim off guard. The small hand slammed into the face of one of the soldiers, its fingers clinching down on his head before pushing the man off his feet and cracking his skull on the side of one of the human's vehicles.
The man just hung limply from the overstretched arm and hand before it let go off the victim, returning to the child. The soldier slumped against the vehicle before sliding down it, a trail of blood marking where the head had recently been as it slid down against the tank.
The human soldiers turned their head from looking at their fallen comrade to look at the pink beast, fear completely encompassing them.
The child just stared back at them, his red eyes taking in all of their fear. A small smirk began to work its way on to his face before he suddenly started to suck in air. His small chest began to expand till it was jutting out in front of him; similar to a croaking bullfrog. The humans, however, recognized what the pink creature was doing, memories of the same technique that Majin Buu had used repeatedly on them before. Panic gripping them, they all dropped their weapons and ran away, trying to put as much distance between them and the creature as possible.
As soon as the men ran off, the pink creature unleashed the air gathered in its lungs, a powerful gust of air racing ahead, destroying anything in its path. All of the human vehicles were torn apart, any soldier hiding with in them killed. With dirt and dust kicking up, the whole ridge was covered in a thick cloud. When the cloud finally settled, only bits of scrap metal could be seen; the only proof that anything stood there previously.
Turning his head, the pink creature saw the scene of humans running. Screams of "Monster" and "Help" could be heard. The child frowned. Why would those men run away when the fun was just beginning?
Raising his arm lazily, his index finger extended, quick bursts of ki blasts were suddenly being fired. The beams tore through the soldiers, sometimes one blast killing them to multiple ones ending their lives; their screams being heard for miles. The child began to laugh manically, his blue tongue becoming visible as the scene of death was being created.
Meanwhile, Bibidi and his saiyan guests were in shock from the entire display. "This…this is terrible," Bibidi managed to squeak out, his eyes showing his fear.
"What's happening? What is that thing?" Goten said, eyes transfixed on the scene.
Managing to regain some of his composure, Bibidi answered "It…it seems as if Buu has separated into two different beings. The Buu I made and this evil Buu. I…I don't understand how this could be possible."
"Well if you say that that Buu is evil, is it possible that he could be all of your Buu's negativity or something?" Trunks asked, never taking his eyes away from the newly named Evil Buu.
"That's it!" Bibidi exclaimed. "That Buu has to be all of the negative emotions Majin Buu felt due to the human invasion and all of the protestors dissent with his job. It makes so much sense!"
Suddenly, Evil Buu stopped firing ki blasts, all of his retreating victims dead. He seemed to be in deep concentration as he stared out in front of him. Then his head began to look in all directions, never taking notice of the four spectators or his fallen good half. Finally, he looked up into the sky and began to cackle. He found exactly what he was looking for.
Crouching slightly, Evil Buu leapt into the sky, flying straight up into the atmosphere.
"Where's he going?" Goten asked, his eyes following the pink fighter.
"I think he's going to be paying a visit to the folks up there," Trunks said, his eyes also following Buu. "And I don't think they're gonna like seeing him.
To dbzfan952: Lol, appearently I can write good fight scenes. I was starting to get worried if people would follow them since I was starting to have a little bit of trouble of understanding them. I guess not. I'll try that website again. It might've not been set up yet or something. Thanks again.
To ss death: I hear ya. A great thing to be lazy. Hell, I was too lazy to update this chapter yesterday but oh well, it's here now.
