Something worth Fighting For
The Innards of Buu
By EmperorDraco7
The newly transformed Super Vegito grinned at Super Buu as the two fighters were floating in the air, seeing that things have taken a turn in this battle especially with his power surpassing that of the pink monster in terms of strength. "Super Vegito… So that's your official new name?" asked Buu with a bit of curiosity in his voice as he spoke to his opponent and laughed at this. "We have such great titles now don't we? Super Buu and Super Vegito, we might as well say that we are invincible but let's not forget that you have two Saiyans and I have three not to mention a human girl and a Namek."
"Its quality not quantity and our union, wasn't achieved by kidnapping" replied Vegito, grinning even wider towards the creature before him. "If you're sure that you can win then come prove it."
This made Super Buu scowl as he wasn't too happy about this response. "You talk too much; I'll make sure you never speak to me again!" He charged at the Saiyan fighter to continue their battle though he found that none of his punches or kicks aren't even hitting their target at all due to the latter's speed. He then decided to use a powerful Ki blast to deal some damage only to see it deflected right back at him, forcing him to duck his head to avoid losing it.
Gotcha…. thought Vegito, delivering a kick to the face on his pink foe before he could even react to it and said. "I'll give you a chance, give up!" It certainly was enough to piss Buu off even further, not noticing the small amount of purple blood dripping from his nose. "Hey did you know your nose is bleeding? Clean yourself off, you're a disgrace!"
Super Buu couldn't say a word as he wiped the blood off and was more than ready to tear the Saiyan apart piece by piece. "I'm getting very angry at you and for me it is a very bad thing" he said in an attempt to speak in a calm voice. "So watch yourself."
Without another word, he powered up and managed to land a punch to the stomach, followed by an elbow onto the back of Vegito's head and a kick to the face that sent him hurling into the air only to punch him down hard through a small cliff and into the water. Next, he fired a barrage of Ki blasts to ensure his opponent would be taken out much to the dismay of the other on the ground bellow. "How can he survive that attack?" wondered Dende in shock while Tien and the other surviving Z-Fighters remained silent at this as the attack stopped with smoke coming out of the area of the water where it had taken place.
Super Buu landed on a nearby cliff and waited to see if the Saiyan would be coming out of the water or not as he doubts that he would win that easily. Right on cue, Vegito rose from out of the ocean completely unscathed. "Heh, that wasn't bad but your aim was lousy, what are you shooting at?" he asked much to the pink creature's disbelief, wondering how the fighter was able to survive that. "I guess I'll have to show you how it's really done again."
The Super Saiyan raised one hand at Buu and without flinching; he raised his power level a bit further. "You still hungry Buu? Eat this!" he said, firing a bright blue Ki blast right in the direction of his opponent, consuming him in the process like he was nothing.
"Incredible…" began Tien, quite impressed with how strong Vegito is while Mr. Satan cheered, believing that Buu has been vanquished completely only to be hit in the face by a small rock which knocked him to the ground though the others knew better as it would take more than that to destroy something like Majin Buu especially when the beam flew into the sky and disappeared in the depths of space.
In the meantime, Vegito simply glanced at the pieces of Super Buu floating in the air and waited for the monster to form back together so their fight can continue on until Gohan could get the others out of his body. "Go ahead, take your time…" he said with a cocky grin as the process soon took place until Buu was eventually whole once more.
"I'll get him…" growled the creature, curling his hands into a pair of fists and tightening them as he glared at the Saiyan fighter who floated to where he was before steam was vented from the holes in his body. "I must find a way to crush him!" It was then that the steam coming out of his body began to surround him as he soon began to laugh. "What are you going to do now? You can't hit me if you can't see me!"
"Well you're half right, I can't see you…" began Vegito, preparing his move and several hits were heard as Buu's voice groaned when he felt pain despite the steam that had surrounded him till he emerged with battle damage.
"How… how did you…" he never finished what he was about to say as the Super Saiyan appeared before him once again, forcing him back a bit.
"You villains never do take true pride in your fighting skills, it takes more hindsight and a strong arm to be a warrior" answered Vegito, responding with a grin as he thought this was getting too easy right now and punched his opponent in the face then grabbed his right leg as he pulled him down to the ground at top speed before throwing the monster, causing him to crash-land hard.
On the Sacred World of the Kais, Shin and the Old Kai were still watching the events taking place from via the crystal ball with the former in awe at what was happening. "I'm afraid to admit it but Majin Buu can't lay a hand on him" he said to the elder next to him despite the serious expression on the latter's face. "The Fusion has made him stronger than I ever imagined.
"Does everything surprise you?" wondered the Old Kai, catching Shin's attention as he has a strong feeling to why Vegito isn't even trying to finish Buu off quickly then said in his usual tone. "What did you expect when they joined together? Goku and Vegeta are two of the strongest fighters in this world and the next, naturally their Fusion would be impressive and the fact that they were rivals more complete."
"I'm sorry but I've been dreading Majin Buu for so long and now seeing his defeat, it's a relief that I can't describe!" Shin was looking forward to the day that Buu would be brought down once and for all, so he seems that today would be that day.
"You might think that but there's more to the way this fight is happening than that…" began Old Kai, waiting for Shin to look at him before continuing as there was something that the younger Kai needed to know. "Apparently they aren't giving it everything they've got as somehow Gohan must have somehow saved himself from being absorbed into Buu which is why he hadn't become stronger. Think of it, when he absorbed the others, he mutated into a different form, yet it hasn't happened when he did so to Gohan."
"You're kidding…"
Old Kai shook his head and spoke. "Of course not, I have the strong feeling that they're trying to give Gohan some time to rescue Piccolo, Videl, Goten and Trunks before they finish off Buu." He then glanced back at the crystal ball as Vegito was waiting for Buu to come out of the rubble. "It looks like he is planning this right from the get go."
Old Kai just looked over to Shin wondering what he was on about. "Whoa do you feel that!" Shin yelled as he looked around for the power he was feeling. "Whoever it is hiding it very well but where is it coming from." Shin said as he closed his eyes trying his best to work out who it was, but once he did saw he was shocked at whom it was.
"No, this can't be its too impossible for it to be him!" Shin yelled with a smile on his face while all old Kai could do was look over at Shin trying his best to work out who it was.
"What are you talking about and why are you even smiling?" Old Kai asked as he looked at the younger Kai, knowing full well now was not the time to get all happy.
Yet all Shin did was look at Old Kai with a smile knowing that maybe just maybe they might have a chance to beat Buu once and for all. That was only if he wanted to help them, and Shin was hoping that he did since right now they would need all the help they could get especially as it seems that Vegito's wait would come to a quick end as he formed a bright golden sword made of Ki energy that extended from his extended finger all the way to the rubble which Super Buu was under and smirked to himself when he revealed the monstrous being, having suffered from serious injuries from the Saiyans attack. "Give up Buu!" he said, seeing the impaled Buu helpless at the other end of his sword.
Inside Super Buu's body
Gohan was searching the innards of the monster's body; he realized that Buu would try a dirty trick and absorb his father if he isn't too careful. Still, he is glad that the older Saiyan giving it his all but is concerned that something might go wrong as he already lost his family and most of his friends. "Man, this place is disgusting…" he said to himself, about ready to blast through the place but needed the element of surprise on his side to avoid Buu finding out what's going on.
He hadn't forgotten when he and Videl had joined Kibito in trying to catch up with Goku and the others when they left the World Martial Arts Tournament in order to prevent Babidi from unleashing Majin Buu only for the girl he cared about to be unable to continue in the flight so he suggested she return to his family and friends they've left behind earlier. However, he would soon come to regret that decision as by the time he and Kibito met up with Goku and the other Z-Fighters; they were unable to stop Buu from being resurrected despite doing the best they could and now almost the entire planet's population was killed by that bastard with very few survivors.
Still, he is back and ready to make sure that things will be set right no matter what the cost was as he made a promise that he swore he would keep till the very end. I know I let you down Videl but trust me; I'm coming to get you and the others out of here so hang on. He thought to himself, knowing that when this is all over, he wants Videl by his side when they revive everyone killed since Buu's resurrection.
Gohan soon stopped as he heard a noise all around him and knew that he had to be something bad. "Great now what is it?" Gohan asked as he looked to see what is was only to find that is was a small green blob. "Well this is an odd thing." He said looking at it as before Gohan knew it the green blob just jumped on his shoulder with his clothes starting burn through his clothes.
"Ouch what is this thing trying to do anyway!" Gohan yelled as he grabbed it and throw it off looking at the burn make that was now in his Gi, but Gohan then saw that there was even more blobs coming right towards him while some were even falling down onto him from above.
Gohan didn't know what too really and just started to blast the green blobs away, but that didn't seem to really work at all as more just seemed to come out of nowhere. "Damn it if this keeps up then they're going to finish me off." Gohan said as by now he knew very well what they were.
However, eventually several of the blobs managed to latch onto him until they covered his body completely up to his face. "What the?!" he gasped, unable to move and was soon electrocuted by the green mess that was covering him. Things were about to get worse when he heard what sounded like an earthquake taking place from within only it was actually something approaching where he stood, a greenish-blue worm-like creature emerged with blood oozing from its mouth as it saw Gohan and roar. "Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse…" he muttered, attempting to rid himself of the slime that was now all over him despite the electricity shocking him as he realized that they were communicating with that thing and if he doesn't think of something fast, he'll become a meal for it.
Meanwhile on the Grand Kai's Planet, Krillin, who was now in his orange fighting Gi from the events involving the Androids, Cell and Bojack, was training with Yamcha, wearing his own orange Gi, and Android 18 as they were informed that King Kai would be paying Heaven a visit for some important news to bring as well as someone he'd like to speak to. "This is great, this Goku/Vegeta combo is proving to be quite the help!" he told his wife and friend, they were also relieved to hearing that Gohan was alive this whole time and that he had been becoming stronger on the Sacred World of the Kais since having lost to Buu the first time.
"Yes, but the question is… can they beat him?" wondered 18, while this was apparently great news, she still had no idea why King Kai would leave them to train while he went to inform Chi-Chi and Bulma on this revelation as King Yemma had sent her, Krillin and Yamcha to this planet to train should they be needed to help.
"Come now 18, I'm sure those two would be able to beat Majin Buu!" reassured Krillin, despite how his wife feels about having been killed by the pink monster back at Dende's Lookout and wanting some payback on him. "For now, the best we can do is get stronger for the time being."
All 18 did was just look at her husband and nodded hoping that this would not be for nothing, yet something was on the three fighters mind and that was who was this fighter that King Kai went to get. "So who is this person that King Kai went to get anyway as I don't know how he can help." Yamcha said as he looked at 18 and Krillin.
"I don't know, but right now we need everyone who is still alive to fight that monster before everything is killed." Krillin simply said to Yamcha as all three nodded but right now they all knew that they had to train as much as they could.
Meanwhile up in heaven, King Kai and the three dead women just looked over at this 19 year old who showed up, but they saw that he was not dead in fact he was very much alive and from what they could tell he was not happy.
"Alright what is it that you want Kai." He said with a little anger in his voice at being called to this place. "It took a lot of power from my ship to even get here so what is it?" He asked in the same tone of voice that held a lot of anger but also hurt.
The three didn't know why but looking at him something told them that he had been through a lot, but what could it have been was what all three were thinking as they just looked at stranger in front of them.
It was then that King Kai just walked over to him hoping that he would help but from what he had been told by a few that had meet him Shamano had been through hell in the last few years. "Well then, let me get straight to the point… " He said, beginning to explain the situation that Earth was in at this very moment. "Right now, Majin Buu has caused massive destruction onto the Earth as you can see; almost the entire population of the Earth was wiped out in the process with the exception of Gohan and some of the remaining Z-Fighters…"
"Is that so?" asked the stranger, not too happy about this one bit and wanted to hear the reason to why King Kai wanted to talk to him right now since he didn't have all day to wait. "Just tell me what I need to know…"
"Okay, well Buu managed to absorb Gohan, Videl, Piccolo and Gotenks during the conflict and Goku was brought life so he can return to Earth and protect it again while Vegeta… let's just say King Yemma gave him a day to help…" King Kai wanted to make this explanation as short as possible since it would only be a matter of time before the Earth is destroyed in the process. "Right now, we need your help as I doubt even the two most powerful fighters in the universe will be able to beat him, sure they used the Potara Earrings to perform a Fusion but what's not to say Buu won't eventually try to absorb him?"
The stranger simply growled at the blue-skinned Kai and his expression darkened some more when the three women approached him slowly with Chi-Chi speaking. "You have to help them, my husband was just brought back to life and I learned my eldest son is alive!" she pleaded in an attempt to convince him to help stop Buu. "I don't want to lose my family as I already was horrified when hearing Goten and Gohan were absorbed by that monster!"
He gave another growl and slammed his fist onto the ground, causing an earthquake to make the three dead females to nearly lose their balance. "You seriously have the nerve to ask for my help at a time like this?!" he yelled in rage as if he looked ready to kill someone. "You have no idea what I have been through before I arrived at this place!"
"Listen to me, Majin Buu is currently a dangerous threat… not just for the Earth, but for the entire universe!" snapped King Kai, not liking how the stranger is responding to them. "He isn't like any of the other villains the Z-Fighters had fought in the past like Frieza, Cell, Cooler, Garlic Jr., Broly or Bojack, once Buu is done with Earth, what makes you think he won't try to destroy Otherworld soon?"
"He's right!" Erasa soon joined in, refusing to believe the stranger would be so stubborn about what is happening and knew that if he doesn't help soon, there would be nothing but damnation for everyone in this world and beyond. "Sure I was shocked to learn that Gohan was both the Great-Saiyaman and the Gold Fighter, but he's still my friend after all…it wouldn't be fare to leave Earth to meet its end!"
Shamano just looked at the three as he moved over to a nearby rock and sat down on it before looking up at them with a glare. "Like I said why should I help this does not concern me at all!" He said trying his best not to raise his voice at the four who just looked at him in shock.
Taking a deep breath they saw him close his eyes before they opened again. "After all I can just leave this dimension in my ship." He said as the three just looked at him in shock that he was able to leave this world. "Yes I can just tell that your shocked just by looking at your faces my people were one the most advanced races watching every dimension in case evil tried to cross into one they shouldn't, but that was then this is now."
"But…" Bulma was about to say that he needed to help them but he interrupted her. "No don't you but me you're the ones who got to overconfident in the idea of this peace that no one will attack you, that you can just relax and go on with your lives." He said to the three but they knew that he was far from done.
"You all fall to even see that just because you beat a bad gut that it's done and over with the evil beans will just leave you alone. Sorry that's not how the universe works trust me I know all too well on that you have brought yourselves into the mess not me I have done so much but that's another story, so no I won't as what going on in this dimension is not my concern as for Buu he cannot cross into other dimensions." He said to them as he stood up from the rock that he was sitting on and was about to walk away.
"Now if that is all I'm going." He said with still some anger in his voice at what they wanted him to do. After all he was too old for this he had seen so much death and lost so many people that he cared for some who are now lost.
Back inside of Super Buu's body, Gohan was shocked as the Roundworm is just about to devour him completely. I hope this works… he thought, unleashing a huge amount of Ki energy to rid himself of the green slime that was over his body and knocked the worm to the ground.
On the outside, Buu felt a pain in his stomach and wondered to himself what was going on though to Vegito, he realized that this was Gohan's doing and wanted to get Buu's attention back towards him. "What's wrong? Has your confidence finally dropped?" he asked, wanting his opponent to get mad so he wouldn't know what was actually happening on the inside. "You know this won't last forever, not when I'm on guard! It's not much fun being hunted down is it Majin Buu? Being hunted just like what you did with our friend, does it hurt?"
"Damn…. Curse you!" Super Buu barely muttered a curse despite the pain that was felt all over his body, to which Vegito only responded with a grin on his face though it didn't last as the creature was able to free himself from that spirit sword then began gritted his teeth at the Saiyan as his battle damaged soon healed itself. "I warned you… I warned you not to make me mad!"
He soon turned into some kind of liquid and flew around for a bit before forcing itself into Vegito's mouth then into his body so much that his muscles began to bulk up to his shock until Buu's voice was heard laughing at this turn of events. "I have you now… inside of you so increase your power as much as you want, I'll only get stronger!" began the voice, determined to win this battle no matter how much it will take. "If you thought that you were sick of me before then wait till I start tearing you apart from the inside!"
Vegito felt his hands, realizing that he was still in control of his body at the very moment then grinned once more. "You must think that I'm an amateur don't you?" he asked, having a feeling that something like this would happen then proceeded to increase his power as much of he could even if Super Buu was inside of him. This was more than enough to restore his body to its normal state only to see his upper right arm bulk up again but punched it to do some damage Buu, who then proceeded to move towards another part of him such as his right knee, his left hand, his stomach and stopped at his back where he flew to the ground backwards to hurt his opponent even more.
"I… I don't understand… you should be under my control!" Buu's voice came, with a hint of shock to it as he was unable to control Vegito at all for some reason.
"It's simple, I used my energy to isolate you inside of my body and as long as you stay in there, I have complete control over you… which is fine as long as you don't mind it." explained Vegito, beating the monster at his own game and forcing him to leave the fused Saiyans body. "I'd say add some spice but I don't think anything will get your taste out of my mouth. I'm taking you off the menu."
"You've got some nerve making me into a joke!" yelled Buu, turning himself right side up while still in the air. "I'll destroy you if it's the last thing I do! I'm not your entertainment!" He soon tried increasing his power level once more to get an advantage in this fight and his eyes began glowing bright red. "You've led me to do this you fool! It's your fault!"
"Yes, that's it… try everything you can…" mocked Vegito, finding this to be nothing but child's play not knowing what kind of trick his opponent was about to do next and figured that this would be plenty of time for Gohan to use right now.
Gohan felt the insides of Buu shaking and realized that something must be happening outside so he better get out of this part fast if he's going to save the others soon. "It must have been father." Gohan said to himself as he got ready to look for his friends and family once more as he took off leaving the worm behind.
After a little more time Gohan and reach Majin Buu's head and the young half Saiyan just looked around. "So this is Buu's head well I just hope that Videl and the others are here." Gohan said as he looked around and saw two pathways in front of him.
All Gohan could do was look at the two trying to think which path he should take. "Let's see…" Gohan just said as he looked again and closed his eyes before looking to the left pathway. "This way, just hold on everyone."
Without a second thought Gohan began walking down the left path for some time until after a few short minutes that was until he saw a figure in the distance and wondered who it was. "Hey who are you!" Gohan yelled at the figure whose back was still turned away from him, that was until the figure turned around revealing that it was Videl with a light blue aura around her body and a scowl on her face.
Gohan just gave a smile as he saw that Videl was alright and began walking over to her ready to hug her that was until she threw a punch over at Gohan all the while glaring at the half Saiyan.
As this was going on the one known as Shamano was about to leave when the four tried to stop him knowing that they needed his help, as well as to try and help in a way as well since they knew something bad must have happened to him to make him like this.
"You can't just leave at a time like this!" snapped Bulma, grabbing his arm as a means of getting his attention when her expression changed to see the darkened look on his face when she did so. "Look, we're not sure what happened to make you the way you are, but try to understand that we don't want to see the Earth suffer the same fate as several other planets, I mean sure Planet Namek was destroyed but that was years ago when the conflict with Frieza was taking place."
"She's right, I mean I may not understand what happened prior to this but ever since the World Martial Arts tournament, I was wondering what was up with Gohan and the others…" began Erasa, having remembered when most of the participates in the tournament which included Gohan and Videl, left the scene despite it still going on while this took place though she had a feeling it had to be something important. "All I know is I would be glad if you were to help us… and perhaps tells us what happened to you in the past."
"Please sir, if possible… maybe we can help you with what's happening…" began Chi-Chi, thinking about her sons and husband right now especially as it would seem that there would be no way to save the Earth if this continued to go like this. "My sons are both Half-Saiyans and Goku is a Full-Blooded Saiyan as is Vegeta so being an alien, you can understand that the Earth is considered not just our home but theirs as well."
King Kai didn't like the looks of this, realizing that it is getting them nowhere fast even with Krillin, Yamcha and 18 training on Grand Kai's planet until they are needed to help fight Buu on Earth, there is no guarantee of victory without some assistance. "They're right Shamano and you need to let it sink in when I tell you this…" he began to speak to him about something he should know. "Before Buu killed them, they actually witnessed Majin Buu escaping from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber after Piccolo destroyed the only door out in an attempt to leave Buu imprisoned along with himself and Gotenks so trust me, it wasn't pretty and he could actually find a way into other dimensions that way as well."
When Shamano heard this he stopped where he was standing and the three women could see fear coming from him and they could hear him say a girl's name and tears coming down his face from his eyes.
All he knew was that if they were here the one that he loved would want him to do what was right and just laughed a little at what the others would think. "Alright I'll do it I'll help but only because of what you said Buu can do." He said as he moved to an open green land.
Slowly he took off his brown trench coat and handed it to Bulma and gave her a warm smile, "Now you keep that safe I love that coat." He said with a grin as the three just laughed a little at this.
"I would stand back if I were you getting to Earth will take longer in my ship." He said as he began to rub his hand together as sparks came out while King Kai and the three women just watched what this Alien was doing.
After a short seconds Shamano whole hands were covered in a blue electric light before firing it just about the ground and the four were shocked that it stayed still as Shamano just lets out another blast this time with his left hand, he did this four times each time getting more powerful until it formed a portal to Earth.
He gave one last look at the four before jumping through and they all saw it close up behind him, after that all the three could do was look at King Kai wanting to know even more about him. "So what else can you tell us about this Shamano?" Bulma asked, wondering what he was.
"Well, it's complicated but…." King Kai cleared his throat and began to explain what Shamano is and where he came from.
Gohan couldn't believe what had just happened and barely managed to avoid the punch that was thrown at him. "Videl, what's gotten into you?" he asked before noticing Piccolo, Goten and Trunks appearing before the two of them. "Guys, be careful… Videl isn't acting like herself at all."
The three male fighters silently glared at Gohan after hearing this and then he saw they had the same aura that was around Videl as the two young boys did their fusion dance, combining together into Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks while Piccolo simply removed his cape and hat. Something definitely isn't right at all, which made the black-haired Saiyan a bit confused by what was going on.
Sacred World of the Kais
"Hey look, it's Piccolo, Gotenks and Videl… Gohan found them, now they can escape Buu's body!" began Shin, a bit relieved that Gohan was able to find the three safe and sound but failed to notice the frown on the Old Kai's face as he glanced at his crystal ball.
"Yes, I see…" he said, taking a closer look at the ball to further inspect the scene that was occurring. "However, why would the boys do their fusion technique and Piccolo removing his weighted clothing, unless they were preparing themselves for a big fight?"
This in turn made Shin worried, as it was indeed a bit off by the way the absorbed victims were acting and hoped that Gohan would ensure what is about to happen. Then again, Vegito was still trying to buy him some time so he needs to use it wisely as he is unsure of how long he can keep up this fight before Buu realizes something is wrong.
It was then that Piccolo was the first to make his move as he prepared himself for an attack, though it looked familiar to Gohan since he witnessed it being used since he was a kid. "What the?!" he gasped as his mentor fired a Special Beam Cannon at him, jumping out of the way before it could hit its target. "What was that for?"
However, Gotenks was the next to attack, raising one hand and fired two powerful yellow Ki blasts at the Z-Fighter just as he evaded the Special Beam Cannon. Which back on the Planet of the Kais, shocked Shin to no end. "I don't believe this!" he exclaimed, refusing to accept what was going on. "Why are they suddenly attacking Gohan?"
"Calm your mind and look…" suggested Old Kai, wanting the younger Kai to watch closely in order to find out the reason for this sudden battle. "Things are not what they appear; they're in an arena where Buu's thoughts can take form. Videl and the others are thought forms created by Buu."
"I see… How do you beat a thought?"
Old Kai thought for a few seconds, even he would never have thought this would happen as it did. "That is a good question" he said, watching to see what Gohan will do against these three imposters and if he would even try to defeat them.
Gritting his teeth, Gohan teleported away to another part of the fighting ground to not get hit by 'Gotenks'' attack only for 'Videl' to fly at him and forcing the fighter on the defensive.
Gohan just grabbed hold of 'Videl's' arms as he knew that since she was human 'Videl' wouldn't be able to get free, this just gave Gohan the chance to look deep into Videl's eyes to see what was going on with her.
As he looked into her eyes he saw something that shocked him as well as angered him too. "You're not Videl, I can tell just by looking into your eyes!" Gohan yelled and was about to throw the fake Videl to the ground, only before he could 'Videl' did a summersault kick to his face.
While 'Gotenks' and 'Piccolo' both jumped behind Gohan sending him to the ground, while 'Videl' just landed on him and all Gohan could do was look up at 'Videl' as she just gave an evil smile before she wrapped her hands around Gohan's neck making sure to kill the half Saiyan.
"There's no way… no way, I'll lose after coming this far…" he struggled to escape from the grip at first though he raised his power-level once more, allowing him to break free and go into combat with the girl herself. "I don't know who you are but you won't stand in the way of my mission!"
In the meantime, Super Buu was just about finished powering up as he was preparing to make a dangerous move that he believe would wipe his opponent out for good though to Dende, it wasn't a good sign. "Oh no, it looks like Buu is really out of control now!" he said to the other surviving Z-Fighters in shock.
"Isn't he always?" asked Mr. Satan, a bit confused by what the Namekian was talking about and wanted to know.
"Yes to a degree but this is like when he was trapped in the Hyperbolic Time chamber" explained the Guardian of Earth, remembering when Buu was able to escape from the Time Chamber and tried to leave both Piccolo and Gotenks inside much to the horror of everyone on the outside. "Somehow his anger plunged deep into his power supply and his rage was able to punch a hole into dimensions."
"You're kidding!" gasped Chiaotzu, not believing what he was hearing only for Dende to shake his head with regret on his face which showed that he wasn't making it up at all.
"No, take a look…" he informed the others to look at what was happening nearby and they scowled as they saw that he was starting to prepare for something deadly. "If he was able to do so before, he could do it again and that would be disastrous for the entire universe… especially as he could break through one dimension after another, resulting in the destruction of all reality as we know it!"
"Damn him…" muttered 17, curling his right hand into a fist and wanting to step in even if he would be killed doing so but Tien placed his hand onto the Android's right shoulder with a serious expression which showed to let Vegito handle this for now.
"You made fun of me for far too long! No one makes fun of Majin Buu!" he let out a powerful scream, similar to the one used back in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with Vegito smirking as he didn't flinch while electricity was released from Buu's body into the darkened sky though something was happening as green glowing parts were exposed from the clouds.
"What? The planet's energy is warping around us, is he trying to destroy everything? Alright, this is going too far!" said Vegito, taking to the air to try and stop Super Buu from bringing an end to the Earth only to see his punch was unable to break through a barrier that formed around the pink monster. He knew he had to at least try to break into it or die in doing so.
Thinking fast Vegito powered up knowing that he had to stop Buu before things got even worse for not only the Earth but the whole universe as well. "I'm not going to let you do this Majin Buu!"
Meanwhile down below the survivors of Earth just looked on wondering what they could do to help, but they knew that Majin Buu was far more powerful then all of them and attacking him would be crazy. What they needed was to think of a plan to help Vegito put an end to Majin Buu for good, looking at each other they all knew that if Vegito lost then there would be nobody left to keep the Earth safe from Buu.
"So does anyone know what to do besides just sit here and watch this fight?" Zangya asked as she looked at the humans wondering what to do.
Tien just simple looked over to her and shock his head. "There's not much that we can do I mean none of us can really fight Buu like this we'll just get in Goku's way." He said looking up the fused fighter.
"Still, if things get to the worse case scenario, we will have no choice but to take him on…" explained 16, ever he was revived by the Dragonballs after the defeat of Perfect Cell at the Cell Games seven years ago, and he had traveled the world and began helping others out along the way. It was then that the stalemate between Vegito and Buu was nearing its conclusion as the barrier began glowing and the Fused-Saiyan started powering up, finally managing to get through and uppercut the monster which sent him falling into the ocean.
"Incredible…" began Chiaotzu, somewhat relieved to see that Vegito was able to stop Buu from repeating what had happened back at the Lookout and the sky soon returned to normal.
However, it wasn't over as Super Buu slowly rose from the water and muttered something dark before Vegito took notice. "Well, if you ask me, I guess it was a little too close for comfort but have the decency to learn your lesson, there's no way you can ever beat me!" He said, scowling at his pink opponent without letting him out of his sight.
Buu was gritting his teeth in anger as he realized that Vegito is right about this and knew what he had to do, his anger turning to a confident expression which he began putting his plan into motion.
Buu just made his way out of the sea and made his way towards the beach, once Buu was on the sand he just looked up at Vegito and simple took a deep breath. "Great power, don't waste it. So what do you say that you try it out on yours truly?" Vegito asked as he just pointed to himself all the while smirking at Buu.
Slowly the waves of the sea hit Buu's feet as the super monster just looked up at Vegito while the said Super Saiyan just continued to smirk. With a flash Buu went flying at high speed creating a rip in the sea, as Vegito just watched and wondered what Buu as he saw the pink monster just right up at Vegito ready to punch the fused Saiyan. However He was ready to block the attack by crossing his arms together just as Buu landed his punch, and when it did in shook the whole area.
Buu then began to rapidly send punches at Vegito all the while said Saiyan just blocked every punch that Majin Buu throws at Vegito. Yet all of Buu's attacks were just blocked by Vegito who was just smirking at Buu knowing full well that nothing would really work on him, but after a few more tries with Majin Buu trying to his hit, Vegito on the other hand just teleported at high speed away from Buu. Only for the pink monster to go rushing right towards Vegito as well but once Buu got close the Saiyan he once again tried to punch him but Vegito easy moved out the way with no effort at all
As this kept going on all Vegito could do was look at Buu and smiled while Majin Buu just grow more impatient at what was going on as he even tried to kick Vegito but again with no luck. All Majin Buu did was look over at Vegito with pure rage as he lunged at the fused super Saiyan, however this time Vegito was ready as he gave a super punch right to the mutating monster stomach and then again to his face sending him fly back but was stopped as Vegito grabbed hold of his antenna which stopped Buu from going any further back.
All Majin Buu could do was look up as he saw Vegito power up a Ki blast before blasting it right into his face. However Vegito just looked over to Buu with a playful smirk as he watched the monster whole body stretch. "Now, I'm going to absorb you!" he said, getting ready to make his opponent a part of him and become unstoppable. "It's all over now!"
This caught the fused Saiyan off-guard at first but like Gohan, he was able to form a barrier around himself just as his body was completely covered by the pink goo. "Oh no, Goku!" yelled Tien, realizing what Super Buu is planning though there was nothing they could do as the goo soon changed shape, taking on the appearance of the pink monster once more. "That bastard, he's going to pay for this!"
"Tien!" called Dende, seeing the three-eyed Z-Fighter taking to the sky joined by Chiaotzu, 16, 17 and Zangya before anyone could attempt to stop them, leaving the guardian in the care of Mr. Satan as they decided to take their fight to the monster.
Buu on the other hand, grinned as he finally defeated his opponent and laughed as now there was no one left who was powerful enough to stop him from causing destruction within the entire universe. "Strange, this is the second time I've absorbed someone and my power and appearance haven't changed…" he commented to himself, seeing that he looked exactly as he did before. "No matter, it won't be long till he is digested like the other one."
When he looked down, he saw the five surviving fighters flying towards them with anger in their eyes and grinned once again, seeing as he could have some fun with those fools before he destroys the Earth provided that they give him a real challenge of course.
Inside the depths of his body, Vegito looked around which while he was glad that he brought up the barrier on time, this would hinder Gohan's chances in rescuing Videl and the others.
"Well that was a close one." Vegito said as he slowly stood to his feet, taking a deep breath Vegito let down the barrier that he had used to prevent Buu from absorbing him like he had done to the others.
Yet the moment that Vegito did this he just opened his eyes a little feeling that something was wrong as with a bright flash of white light Vegito had split back into Goku and Vegeta. Both Saiyans just looked at each other shocked at what was going on since the fusion was meant to last forever, all they could think of was it must have been something to do with Buu body.
"What in the hell just happened Kakarot I thought you said once we put on the stupid earrings that the fusion would last forever!" The Saiyan Prince yelled at Goku who was just backing away slightly.
All Goku did however, was laugh a little at this strange turn on events and said. "I don't know what happened exactly, perhaps something inside of Buu must have somehow dissolved the fusion" he had a serious expression on his face before continuing. "In any case, we should probably find Gohan and the others for now then get out of here so we can fuse bodies again."
"Good idea, however… I think I'll pass on fusing with you again… after all, you're you again and I'm me, just the way I like it" frowned Vegeta, taking off the earring he had on his ear and without another thought, crushed it in his hand much to Goku's horror.
"Have you lost your mind?! Why did you do that?!" exclaimed Goku, knowing that they won't be able to fuse back into Vegito now because of what Vegeta had done. "Now there's no way for use to fuse together again! Why do you have to be like that? Isn't it worth being stuck together with me just so we can beat Buu?"
"No! I personally prefer being the captain of my own ship, besides we can beat him anyway Kakarot" explained Vegeta, scowling at his fellow Saiyan since he would rather use his own strengths to beat their opponent.
"What are you talking about? Even if we do manage to help Gohan get the others out, there no chance of Buu returning to the way he was before!"
Vegeta grinned at Goku after that response. "Well… I guess it will be very interesting to find out, isn't it?" he said then waited to hear what the other Saiyans answer would be despite him being unsure of what to say to the Saiyan Prince. "Come now, you better hurry… Buu could blow up the Earth any moment."
"That's just great…" muttered Goku, taking off his earring after seeing Vegeta heading off to the right to begin to trek to find Gohan and the others but wasn't too happy about doing so without being able to become Vegito again, crushing the remaining earring in the process.
Once done Goku just ran after Vegeta. "Hey Vegeta wait up!" Goku yelled while said prince just kept walking not even paying attention to Goku. "Do you even know where we are going?"
All the Saiyan prince did was remain silent at this and just continued to walk while Goku was looking around Buu's body not liking the smell. "No I don't but sooner or later we will find the others so you should keep up and not waste your time talking."
However outside of Buu body the remaining defenders of Earth were all ready to do whatever they could to stop Buu, but they also knew that there was not much hope since Majin Buu had won all the fights he has been in this far.
All the pink monster did was look at them all and laughed as they backed away a little just to be safe. "Do you really think that you can stop me, I'm Majin Buu but I wonder how I should finish you off should I let you become a part of me like the others or shall I just kill you off one by one?" Buu said as he looked at them with a smile on his face as he just placed his hand on his chin and closed his eyes and started to think it over as best as he could.
As Buu was thinking on what to do Tien and the others were all thinking on what they should do. "Alright you guys we're it we need to stop Buu once and for all or at least by Goku the time he needs so that he can help Gohan." Tien said while 16 just nodded as he looked over at Buu thanks that the pink monster was still thinking.
"Your right he has yet to change just like he did when he got Gohan, so that means they both must be alright." 16 said as he made sure that Buu didn't hear him.
Zangya just nodded and looked over at Buu who had now opened his eyes and just smiled at them all. "Well we better do it fast as we're out of time!" She yelled as she and the others all got ready to fight.
Majin Buu on the other hand just laughed at them. "Plan all you like, that won't change anything that you're all going to lose!" Buu yelled as he went charging right at them.
However before Buu could reach them the pink monster was punched right in the face sending him fly right into a mountain with a very hard crash. All the reaming Z-fighters could do was look on at who this, new comer was but were happy that he had arrived to help them, all the stranger did was look over at where he had sent Buu and just smiled. "Well made it just in time." He said what was the biggest shock to them was this person was only nine-teen years old.
During that time, Shin and Old Kai were pretty much shocked by this new arrival as this wasn't anyone they have seen or heard about. "Just who is he elder?" wondered the younger Kai, almost speechless at what he saw in the crystal ball.
Remaining silent, Old Kai felt like he knows about the new comer but couldn't put his finger on it so for the time being, he needed to see what was going to happen next as it could help Vegito and Gohan with what they need to do. Even though this can help, he fears that whatever Gohan had experienced already inside of Buu will also affect the Full-Blooded Saiyan Warrior as well.
They watched as the surviving Z-Fighters in the air are in disbelief at who had come, even Mr. Satan and Dende never would have thought they would be receiving some help all of a sudden. "So little green dude, any idea on who this guy is?" he asked the new Guardian of Earth.
"I'm not sure, as he was never around before…" answered the young Namekian, his glance not leaving the man's sight despite the World Champion having a bit of a hard time seeing who he was from the ground but hoped he was friendly.
Super Buu on the other hand could sense a huge power from within the man's body, something that exceeds his own despite having absorbed two powerful Saiyans and not once getting stronger or transforming from doing so. "A new arrival, this should make things more interesting…" he said to himself, floating towards where his new opponent was until they were face to face. "I don't know who you are but if you intend to join these fools in trying to stop me then you're just as mad as they are."
The man in question remained completely silent as if his glare was the only thing responding to the monster, making the powerful foe grin wider as he figured that he could be a well deserved punching bag before he destroys the Earth.
Soon the man just smiled back. "Oh yes that's me, always mad that's what many call me but I think it's about time that I stop you." He said with a smile on his face as he cracked his neck from left to right. "After it's my duty as a Trimonight to stop you, even if you look a little girly right now, and here I thought you would look much more menacing." He said as he looked at Majin Buu and smiled at the monster and what he looked like.
The only one who knew the name out of all of them was Zangya who was shocked at this news and backed away a little in wondering how it could be. Even the others were shocked that he was joking about this, after all he just looked so clam something that Super Buu hated.
All Super Buu did was tighten his fists together at this stranger who just mocked him without fear just like the Saiyans did to him. "How dare you mock me I'm Majin Buu and I will kill you and then once I'm done with you I'll destroy this whole Planet!" Super Buu yelled at the man who was not fazed at all.
Super Buu soon went charging at full speed towards the stranger with his fist ready to punch this person right in the face, however to the ones who were watching they were all shocked that he caught the fist without any trouble at all.
"Who is this guy anyway?" Tien asked as he looked at the stranger in shock but he also knew that Buu was toying around as well.
Back on the Supreme Kai home Planet the two were just looking down at what was going on and heard what the stranger calls himself shocking both of them. It was until a surprise to even learn who this stranger was and how strong he was. "So, this stranger is a Trimonight… I see, I'd thought they were all wiped out long ago much like how the Saiyans were all but extinct."
"I understand how you feel elder, I didn't think one would survive or even arrive to help the remaining Z-Fighters on Earth…" said Shin, a bit relieved that there might be a chance after all even with what has already happened prior. "Maybe Gohan and Vegito can save Videl and the others before finishing Majin Buu off."
"Speaking of Vegito and Gohan, let's see how they're doing…" Old Kai had his Crystal Ball change the scene and show that Goku and Vegeta were making their journey within Buu's body which caused the two Kais to be shocked that the Saiyans were separated despite having fused together with the Potara Earrings.
"It can't be… how is it that they aren't fused together anymore?"
"I have no idea but somehow, something inside of Buu must have dissolved the fusion and besides, Gohan has his own troubles to deal with while this is going on" he told the younger Supreme Kai and showed him that Gohan was having a tough time against the fake Videl, fake Piccolo and fake Gotenks as they speak. "Those two better hurry as I have a feeling things will only get worse before they get better."
As they made their trek inside of the body of the pink creature, Goku and Vegeta could sense something powerful and while the former recognized that it was Gohan due to how much stronger he had become since he first returned to Earth, the latter had no idea who it was. I can feel Gohan's presence,,, good he must still be alive, I just hope he found the others soon thought Goku, having managed to catch up to the Saiyan Prince. "Hey Vegeta, how do you know this is the way?"
"I don't…"
Goku took a good whiff of the whole place and wasn't too happy about it either as he knew that they needed to meet up with Gohan without Super Buu finding out what's really happening from the inside. "Man, it stinks in here…" he said, keeping an eye on his current surroundings.
"Tell me about it, it's disgusting… and thanks for pointing out the obvious…" added Vegeta, not looking back while responding to Goku's reply though it was a sign that Vegeta wanted to get this over with quickly.
"We must be in the bowels or something, it's really nasty…" it was after Goku said that as something started happening as he and Vegeta were suddenly starting to sink into what they were walking on like it was quicksand or something. "What the?! We're sinking!"
The two Saiyan continued to sink more and more until they were both gone as they both ended up in Buu's stomach with them both even landing right in the acid part too. "This is just gross so much sweets you think there would be some meat in here." Vegeta said as he got out and stood on some chocolate.
While Goku was still in the acid as his Gi was starting to burn. "Hey what's that smell?" He asked as Vegeta just turned around and looked at what was going on.
"You idiot! You're being digested!" he informed the other full-blooded Saiyan with him as this wasn't a good sign at all. "That smell is coming from your carcass!" It was then that Goku freaked out and jumped out of the acid, landing on top of the chocolate that Vegeta was on.
However it wasn't the only trouble they have as a whirlpool had formed nearby and is ready to suck in everything within Super Buu's stomach, including Goku and Vegeta themselves. "Uh oh, this doesn't look good…" muttered the former, not too happy about this situation as
"What are we going to do Kakarot?"
"We're going to be sucked into that hole…" answered Goku, watching as the chocolate bar they were on is getting closer towards the whirlpool much to the irritation of Vegeta as it wasn't the answer he was looking for.
"No, how are we going to stop it?" he asked again, refusing to be burned to nothing by the stomach acid as Goku was thinking of a way to get out of the mess that the two were in though several chunks of food that Buu had eaten in the past had gotten closer and forcing the two in pushing the pieces away. "Man, some rescue operation this turned out to be."
"We're not going to suffer the same fate as cream filling!" snapped Vegeta with a scowl on his face only for him and Goku to fall into the acid due to the power of the whirlpool that was pulling them into. As the acid began doing its work on the two, Vegeta was preparing a powerful energy ball as he will not allow things to end like this.
Goku on the other hand tried to tell Vegeta not to do this as Buu might find out that they are still alive and well, however all Vegeta did was just smile before he fired the Ki blast at the wall of Buu's stomach.
Outside Buu had felt the pain in his stomach and just held on. "Damn it even when going down he's still a pain!" Buu yelled as he just looked up at the stranger.
Shamano on the other hand just crossed his arms as he looked over at Buu. "Must have been something you eat Buu." He said with a mock grin on his face.
However Buu just looked over at him before smiling. "Maybe but soon they will be gone as will you now get ready you fool!" Buu yelled charging at Shamano who just got ready for the fight to start. Yet, something inside him made his feel the need to use the bathroom and went to an area so he can do his business in private much to the annoyance of Shamano and the other Z-Fighters.
"What's he doing?" wondered Tien, seeing that something was wrong with Super Buu for some reason as he realized that someone was doing some damage to him from the inside and felt disgusted when he and the others smelled something from inside the portable potty that was made earlier. "Man, that stinks!"
Meanwhile back in Buu both Vegeta and Goku where safely both talking in so much needed air. "Man that was close, hey Vegeta you need to keep it down if Buu know we are in here then that's it." Goku said to the Saiyan prince.
"No thanks Kakarot I'm a true Saiyan I'm going out the front door now let's hurry it up the Earth may not have much time left." Vegeta said as he left to find the others.
Before long Vegeta and Goku soon reached where Gohan was as the two saw the giant worm that was still knocked out and the green slime as well. "Wow I wonder what happened here." Goku asked as he looked around.
"How should I know?" scowled Vegeta, not in the mood for this as he felt the huge power nearby and knew that they needed to reach where it was, refusing to waste any time chatting with Goku. "Come on, this way!"
"Oh for…" Goku wasn't too pleased with what was happening, though continued to follow the Saiyan Prince without question, realizing that something was happening nearby and figured that Gohan was behind this. Just then he remembered something and caught up with Vegeta. "Wait, I realize we could reach whoever it is with Instant Transmission and I have a feeling I know who this person is."
"Damn, now you tell me?" snapped Vegeta, furious with Goku for not bringing that up before and grabbed him by the shirt when he yelled at the other Saiyan, demanding with a darkened expression. "Well what are you waiting for, use that Instant Transmission of yours and get us there now!"
Remaining silent, Goku stood close to Vegeta and focused on finding Gohan's energy within Super Buu's body, which wouldn't be as hard as he thought as his eldest son's power was now stronger than when he fought Cell years ago. "Okay…" Unfortunately, they felt the ground shaking and soon they saw some bluish liquid flooding towards their location. "What the…" he never finished what he was going to say as he, Vegeta and the worm were washed away until he heard the worm saying it's party-time or something like it. "Man, some party…"
"It's not party-time, it's potty time!" yelled Vegeta, being the one who actually listened properly to what the worm said earlier and Goku felt disgusted as he realized what this liquid they were in really was.
"Looks like we're not going to make the most graceful of exits! What do you suppose we do?!" It was then that Vegeta flew out of the liquid and made he way away from the area much to the shock of his partner.
"Don't just stand there, get out now!" he yelled, wanting Goku to join him out of this area so they don't end up coming out of an unmentionable part of the pink creature and blasted another hole so they can leave in a more pleasant way.
Once that was over, Super Buu exited from the bathroom and was glad that was over though he was tired of this mess. "Now where was I?" he asked himself, looking at the sky and grinning as he saw Shamano. "Ah yes…" With that in mind, he flew up into the air to begin the fight for real.
"About time..." scowled the 19-year old male, waiting for his opponent to meet up with him so their fight would truly begin without anymore interuptions.
Gohan on the other-hand was struggling to fight off the three fake fighters; each one surrounded him from different areas and blocked his escape path. He prepared himself for an attack that he was familiar with though felt two strong power-levels from the way he came. "Wait a minute, I recognize those power readings…" he said to himself when the being he believed to be Gotenks jumped down with a kick, forcing him back a bit before retaliating. "Masenko!"
A power yellow ki blast that he had once used when he was a kid was fired from his left hand, something that two of his male opponents moved out of the way as the blast hit the wall. Just then, they heard some familiar voices. "So this is what it's like inside of Majin Buu's head" one of them spoke, sounding a bit impressed with his surroundings as not too far from the place they were fighting, Goku and Vegeta had managed to get to where they needed to go. "Gohan and the others have to be in here, because this is the only place we haven't looked"
It was then the two came to a fork in the path, then Vegeta turned his attention towards his fellow Saiyan and said without changing his expression. "Okay Kakarot, time to use your instincts… Right or Left?"
It took nearly a few seconds to a minute for Goku to make his decision, though it would be worth it as he glanced back at the Prince. "I'd have to say…. left" he told the Saiyan Warrior with him then heard a response only to feel Gohan's presence once more. "I can sense Gohan, he's not very far from here… hold on, this could get bumpy."
They suddenly teleported from where they were via the use of Goku's Instant Transmission technique as while this was going on, Gohan was continuing to fight off the three false fighters and commented to himself that he's starting to understand how his father felt when he had to fight Burter and Jiece at once back on Namek as well as the Armored Squadron that Cooler brought with him on Earth.
Almost a minute or two later, two familiar faces appeared between the four much to their surprise though to Gohan, it was both a blessing and a shocker that not only was his father here but also Vegeta as well. "Dad… Vegeta…" he said, not moving an inch at this turn of events.
A/Ns: Well this is it, part 1 of the rescue mission and I know many of you wanted this to be one chapter but I have been busy a lot so hope this will make up for it and part 2 will be coming very soon. Also wish to thank Thedarkpokemaster for helping me in getting this chapter finished and if you can, I recommend you read his fics.
