Ch 3: Father and Son

Trunks slowly and shaking rose to his feet and examined his surroundings. He was surrounded by nothing but a barren wasteland in the Twilight. The once beautiful plain that lay below the great Korin Tower was a sandy dome of pain and misery. He looked down to examine his own conditions. His clothing was badly torn up and his hair was terribly messed up. He stroked his hand through his long lavender hair so he could throw the little chunks of rocks that were in there out.

At that moment he picked up on his Father's very faint ki signal. A sudden look of panic flushed over his abused face. He darted off towards his Father and saw him lying motionless on the ground bleeding profusely. Tears began to form in Trunks' eyes as he looked down on his defeated Father. Trunks' wiped away the tears, lifted his Father, and took off to get a senzu bean.

As soon as Trunks landed inside of Korin's tower, Korin had already been at his jar counting his remaining senzu beans. When he heard the soft footsteps he swung his head around and looked at Trunks in horror. Trunks shot him a glare that would've made Vegeta very proud. Korin decided it better not to ask any questions. Instead he tossed a senzu bean to Trunks.

"Father please eat the senzu bean!" Trunks plead to his Father. Vegeta gained enough consciousness to eat the bean. He instantly shot up, free of wounds, and began to shadowbox in the air.

"Your out o' luck Trunks, that was the last one I got," Korin said to Trunks.

Trunks figured that barging in was a little rude and that Korin deserved an explanation, "did you hear what was going on outside?"

"No," Korin said.

"Some pink creature attacked and nearly killed both me and my Father!" Trunks yelled.

"Kakorot!" Vegeta yelled as he came to the sudden realization that Buu was probably attacking Goku as he sat there in Korin's comfortable tower. He was a Price, a Prince of Saiyans, and he deserved to fight Buu this time. He growled then dashed off towards Goku's house.

Goku had just finished his meal as he threw off his heavy training gear. He was left in an undershirt and boxers as he moved towards his bed. He saw Chi-Chi in the bathroom brushing her teeth. She was wearing a really simple nightgown over her underwear. Goku felt a strong, no two strong ki energies dashing off towards his house. Another was just a few minutes behind as well. He immediately recognized one of the energies as Vegeta and then another as Buu. As he realized the second energy he cringed as he dashed off to throw on his training gi.

"Chi-Chi, I'm going out for a while," Goku said as he shot up into the sky, breaking the roof of the house in the process. Chi-Chi came out of the bathroom after she heard the crash and saw that Goku was gone. She looked up to see the starry sky above, and not the roof of the house.

"She dropped her toothbrush and then sighed as she realized Goku was off to fight another battle.

Gohan was sleeping silently and peacefully in his soft bed as he felt four strong energies growing near his house. In an instant he was out of his bed throwing on his gi, the one that he had wore during the battle with Cell, but this one was bigger. He shot off downstairs and then out of the door. He powered up to his Mystic form as he was surrounded by a great blue Mystic Aura. Within in seconds he had caught up to his Father.

"Can it be. . . ," Gohan began to ask, "Buu?"

"I think so, but it seems Vegeta is following close behind," Goku replied.

Just a little ways off in the distance they saw a aura the color of a Spirit Bomb dashing towards them. It was to dark to see anything, but they could make out Kid Buu's shape. Buu came to a sudden halt and let out an ear piercing laugh that shook both Gohan and Goku spirit. He threw both off his arms back and powered up. Both Goku and Gohan were thrown backwards along with a lot of dust and rocks that almost crushed the two Saiyans. Out of the dust flew Buu who was illuminated by his aura.

"We need some more light," Goku said as he powered up. His hair turned to a bright golden color and his aura was transformed from the dull white color to a bright Golden. His hair grew to amazing lengths. Electrical charges expanded outward from his body and the mass amount of energy he put out shook the ground beneath him. With one last burst of energy he released a burst of ki that sent Buu flying backwards. Goku happened to have enough luck for Vegeta to kick Buu back towards Goku. Goku took off towards Buu and delivered a quick uppercut to Buu's jaw. Buu was sent hurtling into the air where Gohan was waiting to deliver a two fisted pound that sent Buu crashing into the ground.

Gohan flew over to meet with Vegeta, "Nice of you to join us!"

"Just stay out of my way!" Vegeta growled as he darted off towards Goku, "Kakarot, we have to defeat this fool now!"

Goku nodded his agreement and then darted off towards the ugly pink monster that was charging a pink Kamehameha beam. Buu released the powerful energy beam at the incoming Goku, but using instant transmission Goku was able to warp behind Buu. Buu was left in utter confusion when he didn't see a body left. Buu then felt an extremely powerful energy behind him, but by the time he turned to see Goku it was too late. Buu felt Goku's very strong elbow collide with his chest and before he could grip his injured chest Goku delivered a back fist with the same hand. Before Buu had time to react Goku sent a powerful side kick into his stomach which sent him hurtling backwards.

"KAME. . . HAME. . . . .HAAAAA!" Goku yelled as a long powerful strip of energy came bursting forth from his hands. It hit the unguarded Buu head on, which should have killed him, but after the dust cleared Buu emerged unharmed.

Gohan who was looking on from above with Vegeta and Trunks who had just arrived gasped and said, "That's not possible there is no way he could have survived that."

"Come on brats," Vegeta yelled as he used all of his ki to propel to himself towards Buu. Gohan and Trunks followed just behind at full speed. Soon they were all surrounding him in a diamond pattern. Goku looked at them and nodded and as if they all knew what Goku was thinking took to the air. They all simultaneously rained down ki blasts at the spot Buu was. By the time they each shot off 20 blasts the ground was lying in ruins around them.

They reverted back to there regular form and watched the dust clear from the devastation of the area. Suddenly from out of the dust emerged the pink form of a slender kid.

"How did he survive!?" Trunks cried out. Buu dashed upwards towards the diamond shaped warriors and unleashed a wave of energy that sent them toppling backwards. Buu then rushed after Trunk's who he assumed was the weakest link. He made a mad dash towards him and punched him square in the jaw with a very powerful uppercut. Trunks was sent rocketing into the night, but was quickly knocked back down by Buu who had warped behind him. Buu extended his arm and grabbed Trunks by his face and sent a very powerful ball of energy into Trunks. Goku recognized this attack as a Spirit Bomb.

"That's impossible," Goku thought to himself, "How did he learn to use a Spirit Bomb."
