Chapter 2: Gotenks vs. Buu! Gohan Begins Training!

'What? Why didn't those idiots go Super Saiyan before they fused! They stand no chance against Buu now!' Piccolo cursed to himself as he watched the Base-level Gotenks square off against the force of nature Majin Buu.

"Buu, you're days of tyranny are over! Prepare to have Gotenks' fist shoved right down your throat!" Gotenks declared, making a thumb down gesture with his hand.

Buu's confusion turned into laughter. "Buu recognize you. Buu beat you like nothing before! Buu do it again!" Buu ridiculed as he lunged at Gotenks.

"Oh really," Gotenks smirked as he got into his stance and began screaming.

'Wait' Piccolo thought, 'Could he have figured out…'

Piccolo's question was promptly answered as Gotenks turned into a Super Saiyan, showing that he can increase his power level even when fused, defying previous knowledge.

Buu was shot back by a blast of energy emitted from the transformation. He let out a furious war cry as he pushed the ground propelling himself once again at Super Saiyan Gotenks. Buu winded his hand back ready to throw a punch. He launched it only to have Gotenks catch his fist and throw him to the ground.

"What?" Buu roared as he stood back up. "How did weak guy get so strong!?"

'Yes!' Piccolo thought, a wave of relief washing over him. 'Get him Gotenks, you can do it!'

Buu stared at Gotenks for a brief moment before charging at him again. This time the battle really took off. Buu went all out, and proved to be on somewhat equal ground with Super Saiyan Gotenks.

"Wolf Fang Fist!" Gotenks chanted, launching Yamcha's signature move at Buu.

'Yamcha's move… Really?' Piccolo facepalmed watching Buu easily dodge the onslaught by Gotenks.

"YAA!" Buu blasted Gotenks, sending him flying backwards.

"Hey! What the heck! That hurt a lot!" Gotenks complained, rubbing his head. "You're asking for it now, Super Gotenks Power Grenades!" Gotenks rumbled as he blasted out powerful ki grenades all around Buu. Buu however seemed to easily dodge all the attacks.

"You keep missing Buu! You no good!" Buu complained, wanting a better fight.

"You're missing the point! DIE DIE MISSILE BARRAGE!" Gotenks exploded as he shot an army of heat seeking missiles that all pinpointed on Buu as he was distracted by the grenades. Buu was quickly made into a pile of soup.

"Finish it Gotenks!" Piccolo shouted.

"No way, I wanna finish him with my Ultimate move!" Gotenks retorted, stupidly waiting for his rival to reform.

"Idiot! How could you not!" Piccolo banged his head on the wall as Buu reformed.

As Buu slowly put himself back together, Gotenks dramatically pointed at him. "You ready for my Ultimate Attack Buu Buu? Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack!"

'Super Ghost Kamikaze attack, what on Earth is that. It sounds completely idiotic' Piccolo moaned to himself, expecting something completely asinine.

Gotenks then began to throw up. Except… He was throwing up little ghost dudes in Gotenks likeness! 'Oh my god, that's so disgusting! What are you doing Gotenks!' Piccolo thought, disappointed at how stupid Gotenks was being.

"Alright guys, line up!" Gotenks shouted. His little friends all lined up in an army like fashion. "Listen up, you're one, you're two, you're three…" Gotenks numbered all the Ghosts up to ten.

'What are these guys going to do? Tickle Buu to death!?' Piccolo pondered as he doubted that these little white soldiers could really defeat Buu.

"Okay! Numbers one and ten, go for Buu now!" Gotenks ordered. Numbers one and ten complied and raced towards Buu. They rammed into Buu on opposite sides, and on impact they exploded! Buu was torn up seriously by this attack.

'I'll be damned' Piccolo started, 'This idiotic move might actually work.'

"Numbers two and nine, show that pink silly puddy what you're made of!" Gotenks continued.

The next two explosions really messed Buu up, turning him into a pink puddle.

"The rest of you guys, finish the job!" Gotenks beckoned, pretending he was in a movie. The rest of his buddies complied, and the end result was a bunch of small pink specks.

"Don't stop Gotenks!" Piccolo piped up as he remembered what happened after Vegeta sacrificed himself. "We must destroy every last bit of Buu!"

"Okay fine." Gotenks sniffed, hoping Piccolo would have at least congratulated him first.

The two swiftly blasted away all the remnants of Buu. "I have to say Gotenks, I thought you were going to let us down, but that Ghost thing actually worked, great job." Piccolo laughed as they finished off destroying the bits of Buu.

"Don't laugh Piccolo, that move was very hard to do, especially considering how… Aw man!" Gotenks moaned as he saw Buu beginning to form again from seemingly nothing.

"What! That's impossible! Is there no way to defeat this guy? Gotenks, tell me you have another trick up your sleeve!" Piccolo screamed at Gotenks.

"Oh no! I have no other tricks." Gotenks lied, grinning at the prospect of surprising Piccolo with his ultimate secret.

Piccolo, thinking they have no other options, did what he thought was the only way to win. He destroyed the exit to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Both Gotenks and Buu were fuming. "Piccolo what the heck did you do!"

"This is the only way Gotenks. This way Buu can't wreak havoc on the Universe." Piccolo said solemnly.

"What does this mean for Buu?" Buu whimpered. "Does this mean no more candy for Buu?"

"That's right, no more candy, no more candy." Piccolo sighed.

"Piccolo I was kidding! I do have another trick up my sleeve!" Gotenks cried.

"What! Why did you lie then?" Piccolo gasped, truly confused by the actions of this child.

"I wanted to create dramatic tension!" Gotenks bawled.

"You idi-" Piccolo was cut off by Buu's roar.

"Noooooooo more candy! Nooooooooooo!" Buu began to wail, it's force shaking the floor of the chamber.

"Jeez, shut up Buu!" Gotenks spit, aggravated that he was stuck with this pink idiot now.

However, Gotenks and Piccolo were shocked to find that as Buu roared, a tear began to form in front of him from nothing but the air. Inside the tear they saw the lookout.

"What? You can do that?" Piccolo exclaimed, dumbfounded.

Buu stopped yelling as he noticed the tear. A huge grin grew across his face as he jumped into the shrinking hole.

"Quickly Gotenks! We need to get in the hole!" Piccolo proclaimed as the two lunged at the hole. Sadly though, they were too late.

"Crap!" Gotenks whined.

"Quickly!" Piccolo shot back up. "Do what he did and shout a way out!"

"Right." Gotenks nodded as the two began screaming.

They would be too late however, as Buu had enough time to make his attack on the lookout.

"Hey, where's Krillin?" Bulma asked Android 18, looking around.

"Think he ran off to the bathroom." 18 sighed. "It's like the 6th time this hour."

"That's Krillin!" Bulma laughed. "Well hopeful-"

"It's Buu!" Yamcha screamed from across the lookout as he was quickly turned into chocolate by Buu.

"Bulma, take my daughter and the others and get the hell out of here!" 18 ordered, wanting to buy enough time for them all to escape while she held off Buu.

Bulma nodded as she sprinted off into the lookout. Buu began to follow her but was cut off by 18.

"So, you fought the kid pretty quick there." 18 remarked, brushing back the hair in her eyes. "Didn't they satisfy you enough?"

"Buu want more candy! More candy now!"

"Well you'll have to get through me you bastard!" 18 howled, powering up in fury, followed quickly by launching a dual destructo disk Buu's way.

"AHHHRG!" Buu wailed as both his arms were sliced off.

"Your power is nothing!" 18 continued the offensive, shooting continuous energy bullets from several angles, turning Buu into a tangled mess.

"Damn you!" Buu growled, quickly reforming and deflecting 18's next attack. "You are nothing! Nothing but a snack!" Buu wrapped his left arm around 18, and began beating her with his other, leaving her a bloody wreck. "And now to turn you into-" Buu stopped mid sentence as he sensed Bulma gathering the others to leave. "I see. You try to distract Buu… But Buu want lots of candy!" Buu grinned as he left the dying 18 to go and get the bigger haul of candy.

"Damn… No…" 18 breathed out as she could hear her friends and loved ones being murdered by Buu. "Marron... Krillin…" She began to softly cry as she passed out.

"18? 18!" 18 was shaken awake by a frantic Krillin. "18 I'm sorry I was in the bathroom, I…"

"Krillin… You're alive." 18 smiled, looking up at her husband. "Krillin… I… I'm not going… to make it… please… help kill that bastard… and bring our daughter back…"

"18 wait no!" Krillin bawled as his wife slowly died in his arms. "Majin Buu…" Krillin sniffed as he stood back up looking out to the sky, one of the last humans left standing.

Meanwhile Supreme Kai and Kibito were collecting their thoughts.

"Quickly, let's see if Goku is back in Other World. We need to bring him and Vegeta here in case Majin Buu begins going off the handle and starts destroying planets." Kibito jumped, not wanting to waste any time now.

"I agree Kibito, you get on that. I'm going to use my crystal ball to see where Majin Buu is now." Supreme Kai concurred, flying off to grab his crystal ball.

At the heavenly check in station, Goku is about to leave to find King Kai when King Yemma stops him.

"Hold on Goku." King Yemma starts. "Kibito of the Kais just contacted me and said he wants you and Vegeta to wait here for him to take you guys to Supreme Kai's realm."

"Really? Okay then!" Goku responded, both confused and excited at what Supreme Kai's placet must look like.

"I will summon Vegeta here now." Yemma stated. Almost instantaneously Vegeta popped out of the floor.

"What the hell is going on?" Vegeta demanded as he looked around. "Kakarot, what are you doing here!?"

"Beats me." Goku replied as he smiled at his confused rival.

"Don't smile at me like that you clown! How can you be so friendly to me after what I did!?"

"Oh come on Vegeta, I know what you did after all that. That was a really great thing."

"Don't start giving me that!"

"... What a compliment? You sure are weird Vegeta." Goku chuckled.

Meanwhile, Gohan and Elder Kai entered the Extra Dimensional Rift. Unlike the white void of the Hyperbolic Time chamber, this place was a seemingly never ending lush forest.

"Wow, this is quite different from the one I've seen." Gohan marveled. "Does this forest go on forever like the Time Chamber?"

"Yes, so let's not get lost." Elder Kai joked.

They sat in silence for a second. In the silence, Gohan heard a faint scream. While it was quiet, it still pierced Gohan's ears.

"What is that noise?" Gohan asked agitated.

"That?" Elder Kai started, beginning to listen closely. "That is Majin Buu. He was fighting your brother in that dimension you call the time chamber, but has just screamed a rift back out into the normal world."

"What? He was fighting my brother in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber? How do you know that? Also, how do you even know who my brother is?" Gohan questioned.

"I have, for lack of a better word, an incredibly heightened sense of what is happening in the universe. Even when I was locked in that infernal sword, I knew everything that was going on in the world. Which means I know Gohan that you defeated the monster Cell when you were just 11 years old. You managed to transform into what you call a Super Saiyan 2."

"Yes sir. However I do not think I can achieve that form any more, you see…"

"You stopped training." Elder Kai finished. "I know this Gohan, and it honestly disappoints me. In order to unlock your Ultimate form, you first have to be able to re-master this Super Saiyan 2 form."

"What?" Gohan blurted.

"Let me know when you master this form Gohan, I will be up in that tree over there reading some por—I mean reading some very important documents… So make sure to not disturb me until you re-master this form." Elder Kai quickly left Gohan and flew up to a tree nearby as he pulled out a suspicious looking magazine.

"He's just like Roshi." Gohan grumbled to himself. "Fine, I'll re-master Super Saiyan 2 as fast as possible, just you see!"

And so Gohan began to train. Train for the first time in 7 years.
