Chapter 4-Gohan VS Majin Buu Rematch
Gohan looked at the Elderly Kai in front of him, then at the broken Z-Sword he had just used in the attempt to slice that dense element the Supreme Kai wished to test out against the blade, and everyone was shocked to see the legendary weapon be reduced to nothing! Videl was a bit freaked out, as she had yet to get use to Gohan's secret world filled with energy, the fact he is half-Saiyan, and that a large chunk of his existing family along with friends were not all human. If they were human, then they were either short, a former android wished into being human, and a perverted old man.
"This is getting weird," said Videl, as she saw Gohan nodding in agreement, and it was clear this was weird even for him.
"Yeah. Been around this all my life and I never really got use to it," said Gohan seeing Videl look at him with a raised eyebrow.
"It was that weird when you were growing up?" said Videl seeing Gohan throw the hilt of the Z-Sword away since it was practically useless.
"My dad would fly around on a yellow cloud when I was a kid. I went to a planet where I met Piccolo's race and Dende soon after. I witnessed by dad become a Super Saiyan for the first time. I fought androids, Cell, and saw the future version of Trunks come to warn us of all these things," said Gohan seeing Videl's eyes nearly bug out of her sockets.
"Wow," said Videl in awe.
"Yeah. Pretty intense huh?" said Gohan knowing Videl could only nod at that statement.
"I can't believe this is possible. I didn't think there was any other Kai before myself," said the Supreme Kai seeing what looked like an extremely elderly version of himself.
"Yeah well, you be in that damn sword for so many years, and try talking to your future descendent without having him freak out!" said Elderly Kai in a scolding manner and tried to get the crick out of his back.
"Are you sure he's a Kai? Doesn't look very strong to me," said Goku, as the Elder Kai reminded him of Master Roshi, and just wanted to look a half naked women.
"Goku! Don't say such things! Can't you see the resemblance?" said the Supreme Kai while glaring at the dead Saiyan.
"You idiot! Of course I'm a Kai. I may not be as strong as the this whippersnapper or you for that matter, but I have years of wisdom stored in my head that was around before the Saiyan's were even brought into existence," said the Elder Kai just as angrily.
"You know about Saiyans? How do you know I'm one?" said Goku, as he didn't have his tail, and that was the only real give away to determine that when compared to a normal human.
"Your son has all the markings and he's only got half of it. Besides, just because I could not get out of the Z-Sword doesn't mean I couldn't hear what was going on outside, and the fact you two have been having family problems. Honestly, what is it with your race, and the territorial pissing contest that comes with it?" said the Elder Kai, as he went over to Gohan, and give him a questionable look.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" said Gohan feeling like the Elder Kai was secretly digging through his mind for something.
"You're an interesting one. I've never met a Saiyan before much less a half-Saiyan, but even still your truly remarkable, and the fact your power hasn't reached its limits yet is also astounding," said the Elder Kai, as he was circling the young man like a scientist studying a research specimen.
"Am I suppose to be at my limit?" said Gohan seeing the Elder Kai shake his head while scoffing at the idea.
"Please! If there is one thing I have learned about you Saiyans is that limitations for your race is they don't know the meaning of it. Still, I would be lying if I didn't expect there to be someone, who was half-Saiyan to be weaker, or not share the same warrior instincts as the full blooded ones," said the Elder Kai before he began examining Gohan's tail.
"Don't touch the tail!" said Gohan before he wrapped it around his waist.
"All right! I won't touch the tail. I know how you Saiyans get defensive about it," said the Elder Kai, as he stepped away from Gohan after sensing the man's energy spike, and the glare given was also further encouragement.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Its creeping me out," said Gohan with everyone wondering that themselves.
"Because of your power young man. Its vast. I've never met someone with such strength before at your age. Even more so that a large amount of it is still locked away," said the Elder Kai seeing the shocked looks on everyone's faces.
"What? Even now after all this time, Gohan still has a large portion of power within his body locked away, and can get even stronger?" said Goku surprised, as he basically said what everyone wanted to say, and the Elder Kai looked confused.
"You mean to tell me you know? And you haven't done anything to unlock it fully?" said the Elder Kai before Gohan told him of what happened after Cell and his Mother's actions in crippling him.
"I let it out fully when I fought Cell seven years ago, but after my brother Goten was born, my Mother made her move, and crippled me in terms of being a Saiyan. When she did that, my control in unleashing all my power was lost, and I haven't done it since then. I've tried, but it was so long ago, and I just can't unlock it again like that!" said Gohan with a snap of his fingers.
"Okay. Well if that is the case, then I'll just have to use my own method of unlocking it again, and this time I'll make sure it stays unlocked," sad the Elder Kai before mumbling about stupid Mothers crippling their parents powers for stupid selfish reasons.
"You can unlock it? Seriously?" said Gohan surprised by this turn of events.
"Of course! You don't live as long as I have and not know how to do these kind of things. I may not be strong like you, but I've got a lot of knowledge capable of making someone stronger, and tap into such hidden power. Though it will come at a price," said the Elder Kai.
"What price?" said Gohan suspiciously, as he narrowed his eyes at the Elder Kai, and saw the perverted look on the old man's face.
"Well, if its possible...I would like to grope one of her breasts," said the Elder Kai letting out a perverted giggle, which made Videl turn red in embarrassment at possibly being felt up by a very old man, and Gohan go straight to Super Saiyan 3 before grabbing the old man by the throat.
"Here's my counter offer. You either help in unlocking my hidden power in order to save my home from destruction or I break every fragile bone in your body just for speaking that way about my future mate and wife!" said Gohan seeing the Elder Kai now looking absolutely terrified with the old being quickly agreeing to the half-Saiyan's demands.
"What do you think? Is such a thing possible?" said Videl standing next to Goku with her arms crossed while glaring at the Elder Kai for wanting to feel her up.
"It is possible. From what I learned about what went on the planet Namek, the Grand Elder there was able to unlock some of it when Krillin, and Gohan first saw him. I don't see a reason why someone like the Elder Kai couldn't do it," said Goku before he along with the others saw the Elder Kai go through his crazy dance meant to be the beginning ritual to unlock Gohan's powers.
"Well...this is a new development," said the Supreme Kai with Kibito and Dende in full agreement.
"You were saying?" said Videl giving Goku a questioning look, as she felt bad for Gohan right now, and knew her boyfriend wanted to kill the Elder Kai for putting him in this situation.
"Must. Show. Restraint!" said Gohan, as he didn't know why he agreed to this, but was going to endure it if the end result got him stronger, and if not...?
Well then Gohan would make sure there was one less Kai on this planet.
(Earth-Kami's Lookout Point)
An angry Vegeta had flown back up to the lookout, he was bleeding from his injuries, and wanted nothing more then to crush the pink menace that had recently been the bane of his fighting career. In the Saiyan Prince's mind, the pink abomination was right up there with the androids, Cell, and of course Frieza himself.
Finding the pink freak was gone, 18 told Vegeta that Piccolo had finally taken Buu to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to have the long awaited fight with Gotenks, and that the Namek was going the long way around to give the boys time to rest for the upcoming battle.
"They aren't ready to face him. Fusion or no fusion. They are both childish and can't think straight whether they fuse together or their own individual selves. There Mothers clearly spoil them too much," said Vegeta while wishing Dende was here to heal his injuries and saw Bulma looking upset at his remark.
"I do not spoil my son Vegeta! Besides, how would you even know with all the time you spend in your little 'Training Chamber of Solitude' my Father made just for you?" said Bulma getting in Vegeta's face.
"I don't have to see Trunks everyday to know how much you pander to his every whim. I see the mountain of toys in his room, the clear neglect in his training regime because you do not want him to have scars on his body, and reach his potential," said Vegeta, as he had his own fair share of scars growing up from training that only expanded from his years of service in Frieza's army when on the battlefield.
"First off, my son is not a soldier serving under some sadist's Galactic army, and second what does it matter if he has toys at all? Just because you didn't grow up with a happy childhood doesn't mean Trunks can't have one," said Bulma seeing her husband getting angrier.
"A happy childhood? My childhood consisted of training, fighting, and spilling the blood of my enemies within mere moments after I had the ability to stand on my own two feet. When I was Trunk's age, I had the blood of over several hundred beings staining these very hands, and thousands more by the time I was into my teens. Trunks will never have to endure the life I had, but I will be damned to an eternity in Hell before I leave this world for good knowing my son grew up to be a weak, and incapable fighter that is unlike a true Saiyan warrior," said Vegeta, as he wanted the memory of the Saiyan's to live on, and not be forgotten through his son.
"And you think I want him weak too? Like Chichi tried to do with Gohan? I don't believe you! Even after all you did back when you first came to Earth, then on Namek, I found myself loving you after giving your royal pain in the ass a shot, and was rewarded in the process of having loving baby boy I adore without question. I give love to Trunks for the both of us since you don't seem to know how to express your love to him!" said Bulma now right in Vegeta's face and could see the fire in the man's eyes at her accusations.
However, instead of yelling right back at his wife, the Saiyan Prince grabbed Bulma's face, and kissed the shocked woman right on the lips with all the passion his very being possessed. 18 covered her daughter's eyes, the men of the group could only blush at what they were seeing, and it was only a cough from the former android did the two lovers stop kissing though Vegeta did give the blonde woman a glare worthy of his royal station.
"I had almost forgotten how you inflame my passion," said Vegeta to Bulma seeing some of his blood now on his wife's face while she just smiled at his compliment.
"Same here. Every other guy would cower at me when I'm angry, begging for mercy, and get on their knees in submission. Not you though. You are too proud, too strong, and too damn stubborn to let someone like me make you submit. One of the many qualities that I like about you that strangely allows me to see past your faults," said Bulma, as she kissed him again, and let loose her own passion in the matter.
"As much as I like seeing you two getting along, we don't have time for this, and need to help the boys in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber," said Krillin getting glares that promised untold pain from the two of them for interrupting their intimate time together.
"Unfortunately, the short fool has made a rather crucial point, and I need to save what I can of our current situation," said Vegeta seeing Krillin grumble about being short was unfair while Yamcha snickered at his friend.
"You're in no condition to fight Majin Buu! Even if you were uninjured, your power is still nowhere near his, and he'll crush you in there," said Bulma seeing her husband bite back against the words that wanted to come out to heal his wounded pride.
"Then what do you suggest I do woman? Let my son die?" said Vegeta seeing Bulma look angry and unsure.
"No! But I don't want to lose you too and...," said Bulma before seeing the man's halo above his head and seeing him smirk.
"You forget Bulma...I'm already dead," said Vegeta with his filled with sadness and what Bulma could make out was regret.
Taking her hand, Vegeta kissed it before flying to the quickest route to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and entered through the doorway to save his son from meeting the same fate as himself.
(Otherworld-Check in Station)
Chichi was furious. Beyond furious! Why? Because here she was, the wife of the greatest warrior of the Earth standing in line to be judged by some overgrown giant of a troll with horns sitting behind a desk, and reading over past deeds of the dead before him. Chichi already knew where she was going so why not just get it over with? Why not just let her step in front of everyone and make herself known. Why not show the wife of Goku her spot in Heaven where she belonged and then get back to these other insignificant people that were here to be judged.
"Son Chichi?" said King Yemma motioning for the angry woman to come forward, which she did, stomping her feet like she was an angry giant, and looked ready to shoot fire out of her mouth.
"Finally! Its about damn time!" said Chichi standing in front of Yemma while tapping her foot expecting him to be nice and giving her the royal treatment.
Ignoring Chichi for the most part, King Yemma went through standard procedure, and opened his big red book of names of all people in the Universe that die with their life exposed for him to read about. Looking the woman up, King Yemma was pleased to see the woman was indeed a good person, for the most part anyway, but then noticed things went bad shortly around Goku's return from Namek, and even worse on how the woman treated her son. Pushing the boy to study over training, trying to force him to be more human then Saiyan, and then to make matters worse Chichi tried to cripple his power. The end result had allowed Babidi the means to use his dark magic against Gohan and turn him into a temporary servant of evil. The pain, the rage, and despair Chichi had pushed her child to become evil if only for a time.
And all for her own selfish reasons.
"Well I must say Mrs. Son you really have quite the history here. Being the wife of Goku is a greatness in itself, not to mention your eldest child following in his footsteps, and the youngest trying to do the same," said King Yemma seeing Chichi go from proud to angry to just plain pissed off.
"My sons are monsters! I raised them to proper, upstanding human beings that will one day become great scholars of their community, and what do they do? They betray me and become nothing more then filthy thugs with the manners of monkeys! Just like their no good monkey of a Father!" said Chichi seeing Yemma frown.
"Are you saying you're denouncing your husband and your two children for their choice in wanting to save the world from utter annihilation? I find that very hard to believe. If anything, you should be proud of their accomplishments, and defending the world from total destruction. Instead, I find you actually did the opposite, and tried to alter your son's own way of thinking!" said King Yemma, as he looked at her cause of death, and was a bit peeved that Vegeta had killed her despite the fact she apparently deserved it.
"What does it matter? I worked my hands to the bone day in day out for them in cooking them countless meals so they could go off and fight some so called 'Ultimate Evil'. I've put up with this time and time again with their friends too! All I asked for was that Gohan become a scholar when the time came and took means to make my dreams a reality. My sons live to serve my purpose and among them is to be like normal people! What they want in life is second to my own," said Chichi with her arms crossed in front of her.
'Now I see why Vegeta killed her,' thought King Yemma seeing the woman was a mere shadow of what she once was before she learned of Goku's alien heritage.
"So am I going to Heaven or what?" said Chichi impatiently, as she was awaiting her rightful spot in the afterlife, and wanted what was coming to her.
"Considering your past actions I'm seeing here I would have to say you get the 'or what?' part of your little question," said King Yemma seeing Chichi looking at him in shock.
"What? Why? Its not fair! I was a good Mother! I was a good provider for my children! I can't believe you are actually telling me because I wanted to have my way in running my family that I go down there!" said Chichi, as she was beyond pissed now, and looked ready to fight King Yemma on the spot.
"Do you know what your actions caused? People suffered, died, and lost hope because you weakened your eldest son. Or have you not been paying attention to what your son did when under the Babadi's influence like Vegeta was?" said King Yemma seeing the woman was too absorbed into her own wants to understand.
"Its because he wanted to be a fighter that got my son into being that monster. I am not sorry for trying to keep my son human and not some hairy ape! What you should do is punish Vegeta for killing me," said Chichi pointing a finger at King Yemma, who was looking at her with anger in his eyes, and rose from his seat with an aura of rage coming off of him.
"Do not presume to command me on what I should and should not do human! Since you won't admit what you did is wrong or feel even the slightest bit of guilt behind your own actions, I hereby sentence you Son Chichi to Hell with your husbands enemies there to keep you company!" said King Yemma, as he slammed the gavel on his table so hard that he shook the entire room, and a hole appeared below Chichi with the now completely surprised woman falling through it before the hole closed.
With a heavy sigh of relief in being freed from that damn woman, King Yemma soon motioned for the next soul to come forward, and be judged for its past deeds in the realm of the living.
(World of the Kais)
The Elder Kai had finally stopped dancing and speaking like a complete jabbering mental patient before sitting down with Gohan doing the same as ordered to by the old man. For the most part, Gohan didn't feel different aside from the impatience from having to stand straight for so long, and put up with the sight of the Elder Kai dancing around. At least now, the old man looked like he was actually trying to bring out his power with his hands out while in cross-legged position, and looking focused while staring in Gohan's general direction.
"Well at least the embarrassing part of that is over," said Videl knowing how Gohan felt about that and knew she'd feel the same way if in his position.
"Yeah. Let's just hope this really works," said Dende, as he was a little skeptical about all of this, and could tell Videl along with Goku agreed with that notion.
"Of course it will work! You doubt the power of a Kai?" said the Supreme Kai, as he could not believe the disrespect his ancestor was getting at this point, and wondered why there was so much in the first place.
"No! No. No. Well...maybe him since he's so...old," said Goku making Videl and Dende sweat drop.
"You would be too if you lived as long as him!" said the Supreme Kai not liking how his ancestor wasn't respected simply due to his aged appearance and his well...age!
"Tell that to Gohan. You didn't have to stand there while the old guy danced around in a circle muttering gibberish," said Videl, as she remembered what the Elder Kai wanted in terms of payment, and had to fight back the urge to land a kick where it would really hurt the old fool.
If she were honest with herself, Videl would listen to the voice in the back of her mind saying she'd rather have Gohan grope her body, and let it turn into a night of passion they would never forget.
"I'm just glad Gohan didn't look up at the sky to see the full moon you guys have here on this world," said Goku seeing the moon above, but kept his voice low enough so his son couldn't hear him, and then look up to see it himself.
"What? Why?" said Supreme Kai with Videl wondering that herself.
"Gohan would transform into a large giant ape on account of his tail being the source of the transformation and shooting his power through the roof. It happened several times with each time his power overwhelmed his enemies despite not having any real control over it. Trust me, I've fought Vegeta in his form, and he practically broke my body in half when he first arrive on Earth," said Goku seeing Videl, Kibito, and the Supreme Kai looking at him in shock.
"But isn't that a good thing? Gohan should be able to control now that he's a full grown adult, right?" said Videl hoping that was the case.
"Hard to say. Vegeta had control, but I don't know if it was because he was an adult, or if it happens naturally from the first time doing it. If he were here, we could get answers, and possibly some of that armor Bulma made that expands to nearly any size," said Goku now realizing such armor could be useful right now.
"Well hopefully, it won't come to Gohan transforming, and doing a lot of damage," said the Supreme Kai calmly.
(Kami's Lookout-Hyperbolic Time Chamber)
"What do you mean were stuck in here?" said Gotenks in a panicky voice, as he saw the ruins of where the door once stood between the realm they were in, and the one they were from.
"Its as I said. With that door destroyed, the connection this realm has with ours is gone, and Majin Buu is now trapped here...forever," said Piccolo seeing Buu, Gotenks, and Vegeta looking at him in disbelief.
"And what about us? We can't stay here forever!" said Gotenks like the whiny immature child he was given the fusion of the two immature boys who performed the dance to become him.
"A small price to pay considering the world will be saved from the likes of him. Deal with it," said Piccolo hoping the fusion made boy would understand.
"But we could have taken him!" said Gotenks though Piccolo didn't believe it for a second.
"If you could have defeated Buu you would have done it already!" said Piccolo seeing Gotenks frown at him.
"But...don't all the greats make the fights last long?" said Gotenks only to be punched hard in the skull by the Namek.
"They most certainly do not make their fights last long! Such actions gives the enemy time to adapt and bring about victory from the jaws of defeat. Its because you played around that forced my hand to do what I did shortly after Vegeta came into the room," said Piccolo angry at the stupid boy for being so arrogant.
"But...but...," said Gotenks trying to get the warrior Namek to see things his way.
"No buts! You screwed up because of your childish antics and...," said Piccolo, who saw Buu knock Vegeta away, and dive deep into his well of power to let out a massive way of energy from his mouth that ripped a hole between the dimensions.
"No! Stop him you idiots!" said Vegeta, as he tried to blast Buu, but the pink haired of an abomination slipped through the hole the other side.
"What? He can do that?" said Piccolo, as he realized Buu's prison was now just theirs, and they had no way to get out.
(World of the Kais)
Gohan tensed, as he sensed what was going on back on Earth, and felt the need to act arise within him at sensing his friends dying at the hands of Majin Buu turning them all into candy. It was infuriating! Here he was, sitting down on his half-Saiyan ass with this old excuse of a Kai supposedly unlocking his hidden power, and unable to do anything.
'Their dying while I'm here. Damn it!' thought Gohan feeling his rage growing and his power level spiking.
"Calm yourself the process is well underway. Just a little while longer," said the Elder Kai while he was reading his comic book.
"How can I when those I care about are suffering and dying while we just sit here? Tell me!" said Gohan feeling his power spiking with every second his rage grew at the sheer stupid acts of the Elder Kai.
"If you rush this, then Majin Buu will never be defeated, and all that your friends endure will be meaningless," said the Elder Kai while Goku flinched along with the Supreme Kai at the single word used with Videl looking at the full blooded Saiyan when she had seen the facial movement and saw Gohan looking at the Elder Kai with an enraged look.
'Never say the word meaningless to a Saiyan regarding something or someone they feel is important to them,' thought Goku and Supreme Kai at the same time.
"Meaningless? Meaningless! WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF MEANINGLESS YOU OLD FOOL?" said Gohan his rage now beyond anything he ever felt in a long time and stood up letting his power explode all around him with it currently being higher then it had ever been before much to the shock of everyone else watching.
"Whoa! His power is...beyond belief!" said Dende, as he didn't think someone could be that strong, and it was clear neither did the others.
"What the...? My power is...is...," said Gohan looking at the Elder Kai in disbelief.
"Much higher? Of course it is! You think I would have gone through all of that dancing just for the fun of it. I maybe old, but I'm not senile, and do things just on a whim. What is it with this generation not understanding these things?" said the Elder Kai flipping a page of his comic like what was going on around him was completely normal.
"So once this is complete, I'll be even stronger then what I just did, and be able to defeat Majin Buu?" said Gohan, as he saw the Elder Kai look up at him, and had a smile on it.
"More then enough. Now sit down and let's continue," said the Elder Kai, as he knew the half-Saiyan was now a believer of his abilities, and would be more patient.
"Of course. Let's proceed," said Gohan, as he sat back down in concentration though it was still clear by the way his tail was moving the half-Saiyan was eager to take down Buu for good.
(Kami's Lookout)
Buu grinned at his handy work in turning everyone on the Lookout into candy after he escaped the Hyperbolic Time Chamber dimension and turned to see another hole open allowing the three warriors that he had escaped from to leave it. When Vegeta looked around to see his wife was no longer there, he knew the source of Bulma's disappearance, and his name was Majin Buu.
Sure Vegeta had arguments with his wife at times, on many issues, but it only added to the strength, and passion of their marriage since very few women would have the nerve to stand toe to toe with the Prince of all Saiyan in an argument. In many ways, Bulma was a Princess in all, but name in regards to this world, and had become his beautiful Queen with Capsule Corp. being their castle to raise their own little prince.
Now that woman was gone. Sent to Otherworld with everyone else Buu had killed.
A rage like no other had filled Vegeta, as he unleashed all his passion into his fight with Buu, not caring about his injuries, or the fact his power was not even close to the pink monster. Vegeta just kept fighting like a man possessed, feeling like he did seven years ago when Cell first killed his son from the future, and unleashed all he could to avenge the woman he loved. Not one to be left out, Gotenks joined in the fight with Piccolo doing the same, but even those three were hardly causing such complications for Buu, and were easily swatted away when the pink creation of destruction had enough of this boring battle.
"I want a battle with a strong opponent. Where is my real opponent? Where is the one, who I fought last time, and pushed me to the brink?" said Buu getting upset that his fights had been below his expectations since the one he had with Gohan.
"Just shut up and die!" said Vegeta firing a blast of energy at Buu, who lost half of his upper body, and then it grew back almost instantly.
Buu turned to face Vegeta and blasted the Prince of all Saiyans again once more before turning to face his other two opponents. Gotenks tried to knock down Buu, but the pink destroyer just wasn't capable of being successful since they didn't have the needed time to reach the level where they could when in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and was soon overwhelmed by Buu.
Things were not looking good.
(World of the Kais)
"Its done! All of your hidden power is unlocked," said the Elder Kai, as he completed the process, and all of Gohan's dormant power was restored.
"Seriously? So what changes will I go through now?" said Gohan seeing the Elder Kai looking at him with a bored expression on his face when he stood up.
"What? Oh, just turn into a Super Saiyan, and you see for yourself," said the Elder Kai waving his hand dismissively for the boy to move on his way.
"That's it? Okay, time to see how strong I am, and unleash it upon Buu," said Gohan powering up in front of the Kai.
"W-Wait! See how strong you are somewhere else!" said the Elder Kai, as he was blown away by the half-Saiyan, and shook the very planet upon reaching his maximum power.
The others looked on at seeing Gohan at his maximum level of power in awe, as they had never felt anything like it, and were also shocked to see he looked normal while showing the clear signs of his ascension with his hair spiking further then usual. His muscle build was also a bit more bulkier then what they originally saw, as he had energy sparking like miniature bolts of lightning, and one could practically believe the half-Saiyan was some kind of God!
"Wow! This is intense," said Gohan feeling different, yet still the same, and saw the Elder Kai dusting himself off.
"Yes. Yes. Your welcome. This lousy generation has no respect for their elders. Its one big gap if you ask me," said the Elder Kai, as he saw Gohan grinning with a hungry look for battle, and knew the half-Saiyan wanted to fight Buu.
"Time for our rematch Majin Buu!" said Gohan knowing that he just needed to get back to Earth to make it happen.
"I'll take you back," said Kibito, but Goku told him to wait, and put two fingers on his son's forehead.
"Here. Take this technique as a gift from me to you," said Goku before downloading the information into his son head and Gohan was surprised when he realized what it was.
The Instant Transmission.
"Why are you giving me the ability to use this?" said Gohan seeing his Father smile.
"What kind of Father would I be if I didn't teach you everything I could? Your Mother was wrong to hinder your development since you were born and I was even worse for letting it happen. I should have taught you the Instant Transmission seven years ago back in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, but I guess deep down, a part of me was very much afraid of you becoming too strong, and one day becoming my enemy," said Goku seeing Gohan smirk.
"Well we already crossed that particular bridge already. Now you have no need to worry about it," said Gohan looking up at his dad's halo with Goku laughing sheepishly.
"Yeah. I think I've pretty much learned that much," said Goku rubbing the back of his head.
"Thanks Dad. It means a lot. Now I got a favor to ask you," said Gohan before eyeing Videl quickly and then looking back at his Father.
Sure. What is it Gohan?" said Goku seeing the eye movement his son made.
"I need you to take all of them away from this planet. I'm going to convince Majin Buu to fight me here on this planet," said Gohan seeing the Supreme Kai and Kibito looking very upset at them.
"You can't be serious? This is a sacred place Gohan. Not even the Grand Kai himself has set foot on this planet!" said the Supreme Kai while the Elder Kai was thinking this over in his own way.
"Why would you suggest such a thing?" said Kibito seeing Gohan smirking dangerously at him.
Because with just me and Majin Buu on this planet...I can cut lose without any restraint," said Gohan with his Father nodding in agreement knowing that would be the case with him.
"You think he will go for it?" said Goku knowing that the key to Gohan's plan was to get Majin Buu to agree to the idea.
"He wants to fight someone like me at my fullest. I tell him the only way to do it is on a planet I can take us to in a second where its possible and he'll jump at the chance," said Gohan seeing the Supreme Kai disagreeing to this right away.
"No! No! I will not allow this to happen. As the Supreme Kai, I hereby forbid such an action happening, and that is final," said the Supreme Kai looking at the two with a look on his face that spoke of no option of debating this.
"Actually, the real Supreme Kai here is that guy over there, and since he's older then you to pull rank," said Gohan seeing the mouth of the Supreme Kai fall to the ground.
"He has a point. Technically anyway," said Videl when she thought about it herself.
"Gohan does have a point sir. Your ancestor does have higher authority then you," said Kibito seeing the Supreme Kai seething and the Elder Kai nodding his head in agreement.
"The boy's plan is a sound one. We'll go to the Grand Kai's Planet after you leave here," said the Elder Kai with the Supreme Kai slumping his head in defeat.
"Are we allowed to go there since we're not well...dead!" said Videl, as she figured that the Grand Kai's Planet while apparently not as prestige as this was still pretty high up, and only the Elite of being were allowed to set foot on it.
"Sure! I know the Grand Kai. I'll tell him you two are friends and special guests," said Goku knowing that the Grand Kai would never turn down Dende much less Videl and if he did...well the Saiyan had no doubt his son would make the crazy man regret it.
"I'll talk to you guys later. Stay safe," said Gohan while looking at Videl, who smiled back at him, and then gave him a kiss on the lips.
"Come back to me alive. Please!" said Videl, as she didn't want him to die, and knew he didn't either.
"I wouldn't want to return any other way," said Gohan, as he kissed her again, and then took a step back before using the Instant Transmission technique.
"Don't worry Videl. Gohan won't die fighting Majin Buu," said Goku with a smile on his face with the teenage girl smiling back.
"He better not since I'll kick his butt!" said Videl with Goku laughing before motioned everyone to make contact with him and used Instant Transmission to send them all off to the Grand Kai's Planet.
(Earth)
Buu smiled evilly, as he saw Trunks, and Goten no longer fused together to form the more powerful being that was Gotenks. Pink energy formed in his hands, as he was about to blast the two half-Saiyans to pieces, and send them to Otherworld. The two boys now beaten, bloodied, and having no real energy left could only look at their soon to be killer with fear knowing they were about die. Not far from them, Vegeta was in the same state, only worse, and Piccolo was down for the count with several severe injuries.
"Any last words?" said Buu, as he was about to blow to two boys to bits, and there was nothing they could do to stop it.
"I do. Die!" said Gohan, as he appeared behind Buu, and executed a perfect spin kick that sent the pink warrior flying into a nearby cliff.
"Gohan!" said a bloody Goten, as he struggled to run up to his big brother, and Trunks doing the same.
"Hey squirt. You get taller?" said Gohan smiling at his little brother.
"Gohan! Don't make fun of my height. I'm not Krillin you know!" said Goten, as he saw his big brother laugh, and ruffle his hair.
"No. Your not. Get Vegeta and Piccolo out of here. I'll deal with Majin Buu," said Gohan seeing the boys were now just about having a panic attack.
"What? No! You can't! He'll crush you. We were fused at Super Saiyan 3 level and we barely hurt him at all. Even my dad joined the fight and was taken down," said Trunks seeing Gohan look him dead in the eye with an intense wave of power that the young boy didn't see before in his friend's older brother.
"Don't worry. I'm a lot stronger then you two fused together. Now get out of here with Vegeta and Piccolo so I can take care of him myself," said Gohan with authority in his voice that made both boys nod and do what was asked of them.
"So your back to fight me again. I'm glad. Really glad. Those other fighters didn't have the strength to give me a descent challenge. You. You are the only one capable of making any fight I have fun," said Buu grinning evilly at Gohan, who just smirked back, and just casually walked towards the pink monster.
"I know the feeling. However, if you really want to have a fight with me without any kind of distractions, then I offer you the chance to do so, and on a planet where the only being on it will be...us!" said Gohan seeing Buu narrow his eyes at him.
"Just us? On another planet? No interference? How long will it take to get there? I will not wait a whole hour like the green man wanted me to do earlier," said Buu, as he hated waiting, and it was clear Gohan understood.
"It won't take long. I know a technique that will take us there instantly. We get there, it will be just us, and we can fight the other in an all out fight to the death. Interested?" said Gohan seeing Buu weighing the options.
"Why would you go out of your way to give me that kind of fight?" said Buu seeing Gohan smirk grow further.
"Its not just for you. Its for me too. There are people on this world that I call home, who are innocent, and don't deserve to be caught up in our fight. If they do, my honor will compel me to protect them, and thus ruin the fight between us. However, if we fight on a planet with just the two of us, then there is nothing holding me back, and you will be granted the privilege of fighting a Saiyan warrior with everything he has without any distracting interferences from outside forces. That's what you want right? Another round between us, no distractions, no one interfering, and going toe to toe with the only guy in the Galaxy if not the Universe itself capable of giving you a challenge?" said Gohan, as he knew how Buu was, and suspected that the draining of his energy along with all the Saiyan energy from the battle his dad had with Vegeta earlier to power Majin Buu.
"Where is this world?" said Buu curiously.
"It's the Planet of the Kais in Otherworld. Not even the Grand Kai himself has set foot on it, but I got the approval from the powers that be, and will let us fight each other to our hearts content on that world," said Gohan seeing Buu's eyes widen in shock.
"Send us there! Send us there now!" said Buu with his mouth salivating like the sacred world was a giant jumbo birthday cake and he was the fattest man in the world acting like he hadn't eaten in days.
"Very well. However, for this to work, I need to make contact with you, and then perform the technique so it will take the two of us," said Gohan seeing Buu nod excitedly.
"I don't care! Take us there now!" said Buu impatiently.
Without another word to his adversary, Gohan put a hand on Buu's pink shoulder, and then performed the Instant Transmission technique.
(Grand Kai's Planet)
"Holy frijoles!" said the Grand Kai, as he was in his proper Grand Kai attire, and heard the story just given to him by the group now in front of his very eyes with the four King Kais there to hear it too.
"Yeah. That's basically it in a nutshell," said Goku having told them all the quick version of what happened with his wife, son, Majin Buu, and the two Kais behind him.
"That is something. Without a doubt. However, if you trust your son to defeat Majin Buu, then I say let him, and will get no interference from me. Though I would like to see this battle play out and see your progeny do his thing on Buu. Fortunately, we have the Grand Orb for just such an occasion, and we're going to see just what your son is capable of," said the Grand Kai, as he summoned the Grand Orb to appear on his planet for everyone there to see, and tuned it to World of the Kais where the battle was just about to start.
"Wait! Before you focus on them, can you check on my other son Goten, and his friend Trunks," said Goku seeing the Grand Kai was a bit ticked by this, but did it anyway, and saw both battered boys caring Piccolo along with Vegeta back up to Kami's Lookout.
"Kibito. Could you head down there and bring those four here so I can heal them?" said Dende, as he saw the giant man look at the Supreme Kai first, and saw him nod his head in agreement.
"Of course," said Kibito before quickly vanishing from their sight and bringing the four to the Grand Kai's Planet moments later.
"Hey guys!" said Dende before kneeling down in front of the four beaten warriors and began healing their injuries.
"Dende!" said Goten and Trunks at the same time while the young Namek healed them up good as new.
"You've done enough for today. Sit back and enjoy the show," said Dende before he went to work on Piccolo while Kibito healed Vegeta despite the Saiyan Prince's protest.
The two half-Saiyans looked at the Namek in confusion, but soon followed the Supreme Kai's gaze at the Grand Orb, and saw Gohan fighting Buu in an all out battle to the death. Gohan easily dominated the fight, as his power was indeed beyond that of Gotenks at Super Saiyan 3, and Vegeta at Super Saiyan 2 combined. Gohan dodged several energy attacks Buu launched with his hands, even one that was launched surprisingly from the pink monster's mouth, and blasted back with an energy attack of his own destroyed Buu's body before it reformed once more.
Gohan charged forward before vanishing from view one second, only to reappear again behind Buu a second later, and hit him with a devastating blow to the back. Buu tried to fight back, but his opponent was too fast, too strong, and wasn't holding anything back this time around. By this point, Buu was getting angrier, and it was a well known fact that the angrier pink monster gets...the strong he becomes.
And was Buu ever angry. The pink monster's power increased noticeably, as Gohan put more effort into their fight with each passing second bringing out the best in Buu, and all from pissing the creature off! Some well placed hits to Buu's stomach sent the destroyer of countless worlds flying back, only for the area to destroyed by a massive blast of pink energy, and the source of it looking angry beyond belief. In fact, Buu now seemed to be changing in his form, as he was releasing lots of steam, and gagging on something that was within his mouth.
While this happened, Gohan frowned watching this turn of events, and finding that whatever was happening was also causing Buu's power to grow drastically to the point where if it kept climbing would rival even his own! It wasn't long before Buu finally coughed up what was gagging him to reveal the fat Majin Buu, which the half-Saiyan had first fought, and even would call a friend at one point. Frowning at this turn of events, Gohan saw the Buu he had been fighting shrink down to the size of a kid, and looked even more sinister then ever.
With the power to match.
'Not good. The other one is much weaker, which doesn't make sense, and doesn't seem to be part of some scheme to trick me. Not only that, but this 'kid' version of Buu is much stronger then his previous versions of himself, and doesn't need the fat one. Could it be that the fat Majin Buu was some kind of suppressor to the real one's power? If so, then why didn't the Supreme Kai say anything? Oh, I am so going to kick his ass for keeping that information from me, and the others,' thought Gohan, as he saw the now named Kid Buu looking at him like a fat kid in a candy store giving away free candy, and was ready for another go at the half-Saiyan.
"Someone want to explain to everyone here why this particular transformation of Majin Buu is more powerful then the others?" said Vegeta seeing, but really believing what his eyes were looking at, and turned his line of sight to the Supreme Kai.
"That, is what Majin Buu really looks like. The one you first encountered was the result of him absorbing the wisest of all the previous Kai's that were with me when we fought the pink monster. I didn't tell you this because Babidi himself didn't know and I couldn't risk him using his magic to possibly alter that situation," said the Supreme Kai seeing Vegeta was extremely pissed off.
"You fool! Had we known the true extent of the situation instead of the cloak and dagger way you handed thing I would have personally crushed the shell Buu was in before he was given any kind of energy," said Vegeta, as he grabbed the Supreme Kai by his shirt, and looked the man dead in the eyes.
"Will you two shut up! Gohan's fighting again!" said Videl, as she saw her boyfriend being pushed to his limits, and knew he was now trying his hardest to defeat Buu.
Sure enough, the two turned to the Grand Orb, and saw the match was getting too close to tell who the possible victor was in this battle now that Buu had been turned back. Gohan landed a devastating spin kick to Buu's face, stretching his neck back with a bruise on his face before it pulled back to its body, and the pink face now sported a mean scowl. Buu retaliated with a blast of energy from his mouth, which Gohan couldn't block, dodge, or counter at the close range he currently was in. Gohan went flying back, the upper part of his fighting attire destroyed, his upper body bleeding, and covered in burns from all the damage the attack did.
As for Gohan himself, he retaliated back with a Kamehameha Wave, and destroyed Buu's body for a moment until it begins to materialize again. Fortunately, it was happening at an average speed, which meant in Gohan's mind that Buu was weakening, and that was a good thing. Though whether it was enough was an entirely different story, as Buu had plenty of energy to spare, and was eager to get back in the fight with Gohan.
"Buu keeps regenerating," said Piccolo, as he saw Buu absorb every punch, kick, and energy blast Gohan threw at him while coming back for more.
"If only...wait! King Kai, I need to borrow your telepathic powers for a second, and talk to Gohan," said Goku, as he grabbed King Kai, and tried to speak to his son.
"Hey! I'm not some telepathic phone for you to use on a whim you know. I get billed for doing long distance! You're paying for them just so you know," said King Kai, as he was able to help Goku connect with Gohan.
"Gohan! There is a moon above the planet. Use it just like you did as a kid when Vegeta created that ball of artificial moon light. When you transform, your power will increase, and have more then enough to defeat Buu," said Goku with Vegeta looking at him like he was mad.
"You can't be serious Kakarot! The boy hasn't transformed since he was child and even then he had no direction. You have no idea how much control it takes to keep your own mentality during the transformation? Gohan will be overwhelmed by his inner ape!" said Vegeta before looking at the Grand Orb and saw it was too late.
Gohan had looked up at the moon above him and was already showing signs of changing.
"Does Gohan have a chance of taking control?" said Videl seeing the transformation taking place and was a bit scared at the sight of Gohan becoming something like that.
"I don't know, but I doubt Buu would give him the chance, and try to kill Gohan before it ever happened. Still, the ape in him will know Buu is the enemy, and will focus on the pink abomination before doing anything crazy," said Vegeta, as he saw the now ape form of Gohan roar in rage at Buu, who was surprised by this turn of events, and beat his chest no unlike an ape might do while Gohan did the same with the two yelling out at the other.
Only Gohan had ended it first by firing a blast of energy from his mouth that destroyed a large area around him and then fired another one in the distance just for the Hell of it. Everyone watching the Grand Orb saw Gohan's ape form destroying the most sacred world of the Kais and it made Goku wince when he saw the Supreme Kai's jaw hitting the floor.
"Our...most sacred...world...is practically destroyed...Kibito," said Supreme Kai, as he saw Buu regenerate himself blast Gohan's ape body with energy, but all it did was anger the giant ape, and cause further destruction upon the planet.
"Kakarot, get your son under control. Use the Kai to contact him telepathically to regain control. You did it before the last time he transformed!" said Vegeta realizing that Goku could do that and was the only hope they had.
"Right!" said Goku before putting his hand on King Kai's shoulder.
"What is it with you people disrespecting my title as a Kai? I worked hard for that title and you act like it was a bad joke," said King Kai hating being used like a phone.
"Gohan! Listen to me. Concentrate. Don't let the rage inside of you dominate your mind anymore. Break free from it and focus on defeating Buu!" said Goku, but his words were not reaching Gohan like they did the last time years ago, and the ape portion of Gohan only became further enraged.
"He's not listening to you. What about me?" said Videl hopefully.
"What makes you think you'll fair any better?" said Vegeta skeptically at the woman.
"Because I love him and he loves me. I'm his...mate after all," said Videl blushing slightly at the word she chose to describe her position with Gohan.
"She may have a shot Vegeta. Let Videl have a chance," said Goku, as he moved away from King Kai, and let Videl try her hand at reaching Gohan.
"Gohan, its me Videl. Your mate. I can't believe I just called myself that. Look, you need to focus, wake up, or whatever it is you do to gain control of your body because this side I'm seeing isn't the Gohan I know. Snap out of it and be the man I love. Please!" said Videl seeing Gohan's ape form stop while holding a large piece of what once a chunk of the planet he was on over his head and seemed to be focusing on something.
"Its working!" said Goten with joy.
"Beauty won't kill this beast, but it will calm his savagery, and give Gohan the focus he needs right now," said the Elder Kai seeing Gohan slam the chunk of the planet and begin his attempt to regain control of his body.
What was surprising however, was the incredible amount of energy Gohan was letting out, and was now consuming his entire body. Even Buu himself seemed afraid at this shocking event, as the planet shook, the ground cracking, and it almost seemed like the sacred world of the Kais was about to explode quite literally from under the two.
"What's going on? Should something like that be happening?" said Videl to Vegeta seeing the Saiyan Prince looking just a baffled as she was right now.
"No. It should. Gohan's transforming!" said Vegeta, as his mind instantly went to the Super Saiyan stories of old, and to the very first Saiyan to ever achieve it.
Could Gohan be...completing what the very first Saiyan of the Royal Bloodline could not?
"Transforming? Gohan's transforming into what Dad?" said Trunks, as he saw Gohan's massive ape form begin to shrink down to normal size, and showed the half-Saiyan now with longer spiky hair with crimson ape fur covering the upper part of his body while wearing black Gi pants.
When Gohan opened his eyes, they were yellow with a hunger in them that surpassed all others, and was now grinning heavily at Buu looking at him with a feeling for the first time with the emotion known as...fear!
"He's done it. He's done what the first Super Saiyan himself couldn't do over a millennia ago. Gohan has achieved the level of Super Saiyan 4!" said Vegeta in awe seeing just how much the trembling frightened boy he first saw when arriving on Earth for the seven Dragon Balls had grown up to be possibly the most powerful warrior in all the Universe.
And the boy was still in his teens with the known fact no Saiyan in history ever died of old age with another known fact Vegeta knowing was that Saiyan age very little when normal humans did. It had been theorized by one of the scientists loyal to the Saiyans after their enlistment into Frieza's army that the ingrained desire to continue fighting into old age had somehow managed to evolve them to the point where a Saiyan's body would age slowly to allow them to fight long after they should have retired from the battlefield.
"Brother is so cool! Can I do that one day?" said Goten to his Father, but Goku was too stunned by this to respond, and could only hear what Vegeta had spoken about Gohan.
'Wow. Gohan looks so hot in that state. Just seeing him like that is sending a fire through my body I didn't know existed,' thought Videl, as she saw Gohan looking so primal, and filled with a certain macho testosterone like power that made her knees weak at the very idea of Gohan being intimate with her in such a way.
"Well that was unexpected. I had actually forgotten about that part of the Saiyan when they look up at the moon, but the transformation is definitely a knew twist, and certainly brings a lot of power to Gohan's side," said the Elder Kai seeing Gohan go on the attack and once again take charge of the fight against Kid Buu.
"That's my son. I guess I never really expressed that, did I Piccolo?" said Goku sadly knowing his son only wished for his love and attention.
Instead, all Gohan got was his Mother demanding he be a scholar, and being forced into a life his son didn't want.
"I've known Gohan for as almost as long as you have Goku. In my heart, despite all that had happened between the two of you, I know he still calls you Father, and that will not change no matter what," said Piccolo smiling at his friend before looking at the Grand Orb and seeing Buu hitting the ground hard with blood actually leaking out of his pink body.
"No where for you to run now Buu. This is the end. Goodbye," said Gohan coldly, as he raised his hand to the downed pink destroyer, and an orb of energy soon formed in the palm of his hand that shined like the blazing star of yellow Sun around Earth.
"Who...are...you?" said Kid Buu looking at his soon to be executioner in fear.
"My name...is Gohan. And I'm a proud member of the Saiyan race that had bred warriors for generations," said Gohan before obliterating Buu from existence.
The greatest threat to the Universe had been destroyed.
(A/N: YAY! I updated. Its almost over. One more chapter to go and you know what that one is so hold on a little longer for that. Until next time...PEACE!)
