Disclaimer: See chapter 1 for all the details, also Shamano belongs to thedarkpokemaster and it is cool to see that Battle of Gods pretty much takes GT out of the picture, hopefully there will be a sequel of the movie sometime in the future.
Something Worth Fighting For
The End of Earth
By EmperorDraco7
The surviving Z-Fighters were rather surprised to see a shadowed silhouette approaching them from the sky, they needed to be ready in case it was an enemy that they didn't know about yet the image resembled that of a dragon, which they easily ruled Shenron out as he needed all seven Dragonballs to be gathered together in order to be summoned. "Wait a minute…" Gohan could tell that the image was starting to get clearer as the creature in question let out a loud screeching sound. "Is that?"
"No way!" exclaimed Goku, now being able to recognize what was coming towards them while Vegeta and the others had no clue, even Mr. Satan was pretty freaked out at first though Goku and Gohan gave a reassuring smile as arriving was none other than Gohan's Dragon friend Icarus. "Wow, we haven't seen you in a long time… How did you find us?"
"You know that Dragon?" asked Shamano, somewhat confused that this human-sized purple Dragon was someone he and Gohan knew rather well.
"Yes, his name's Icarus, I've actually known him since I was just a small boy" explained Gohan, he never actually thought that it was the same Icarus that he grew to befriend with many years ago and from what he could tell, his old friend had become much stronger in his own right since then but he would later notice that Icarus didn't look too happy. "Is there something the matter?"
Icarus screeched a bit, a sign that he wanted an explanation from Gohan as to why he never comes to the forest to see him anymore and that he waited for a very long time but there was nobody, not even a quick visit. "Sorry, it's just that due to having to save the Earth from the Androids and later from Cell and Bojack as well as having school and everything, I kind of forgot…" he tried to explain, scratching the back of his head despite it not being a good enough excuse for not visiting. "I'm sorry, I know it will take more than that to make it up to you though right now we still have other things to worry about."
"Yeah, I'm sorry too and my reason why I was killed in the final battle, when I sacrificed myself to save the Earth from being destroyed as Cell was going to blow himself up" said Goku, not so sure of what to say himself as he was just as guilty as Gohan was for not visiting Icarus more. "That and I didn't come back to life until just recently, especially due to something more important to take care of."
Icarus remained silent at the two, giving them both a serious glare though before he could say something to them he noticed Videl was in Gohan's arms and it made him rather curious. "Oh her?" Gohan asked his friend from the forest, blushing quite a bit as he remembered he was still holding onto her. "It's a long story, but right now I can explain later… right now we need to get to the ground okay?"
This made the Dragon chirp, as he really needed to hear what Gohan and even Goku have else to say so they decided to go to the ground since it would be best that Dende try to help them with his healing powers before they take on Super Buu for the very last time… after all, they are going to need all the help they can get just in case he had anymore surprises.
Yet, he could sense that something was happening from where the evil Buu was standing and for some reason… the power was increasing rather than decreasing as he originally thought. He wasn't the only one, Goku and Vegeta along with Android 16, Android 17, Zangya, Tien, Chiaotzu and even Shamano felt it too which made them scowl. I don't get it… how is the evil Buu becoming stronger? thought the Saiyan Prince, looking angry as the Z-Fighters turned their attention to Super Buu, still experiencing the pain he felt when the good Majin Buu was ripped out of him and he was starting to transform right in front of their very eyes.
"Man, if this keeps up… he's going to be stronger than he was before" muttered Goku, even though they got the others out… this somehow didn't help matters at all for some very strange reason.
"I know…" Vegeta hated to admit it, but Goku was right as not even, them being in their Super Saiyan forms would be able to stop that monster at this rate and Gohan remained silent while still blaming himself for not finishing Super Buu off when he had the chance.
"Hey you three, stop with all the self pitying!" Shamano yelled at the three Saiyans as he gaze not once left the transforming Majin Buu as he needed to keep clam and help the Saiyans beat that thing. "As long as we are alive and keep hope alive we can win we just have to be smart about." He told them.
"I mean you Saiyans need to use your brains a little more rather than going in a fight, after all it always best to think of a plan and look at the one you're a fighter knowing what they can do, what moves they have and how the use them. Even the way the move the body in a fight can be a big help in a fight." Shamano said with a smile looking at Bu who was changing in front of their eyes while the three Saiyans just looked at the teen.
"Who is this kid and how does he know about the Saiyans, he looks human after all…" Gohan thought as he looked over at Shamano.
But before Gohan could ask Vegeta just yelled at the new comer. "And what the hell are you anyway kid we know a lot more about this then you do!" the Saiyan prince yelled not liking what to be told what to do. "As far as I'm concerned I like the way I fight it makes it all the more fun!"
Shamano paid no attention towards Vegeta's comment and kept his glance at Super Buu, wondering what kind of form the evil creature was taking now if his power really was getting stronger than it was beforehand.
In the meantime, Shin and the Old Kai watched via the crystal ball and the former was horrified as he realized what was going on involving that transformation. "Oh no… he's transforming…" he said, almost unable to contain the fear he now had on his face and caught the attention of the Old Kai. "Back… to normal!"
"Huh? What do you mean Normal?" wondered the Old Kai, having no idea on what Shin meant by that at first especially as it looked as it Super Buu was starting to bulk-up from the image shown on the crystal ball.
It may look like he's now twice as big as he was before, but looks can be deceiving as the two Kais on their home world and the Z-Fighters on Earth saw he was taking on another change… this time he was beginning to shrink.
"Oh this can't be good." Goku said as he and all the others fighters just looked at the transforming Buu and knew and could feel his power getting much bigger with each passing second.
"We better do something dad." Gohan said as he looked at Videl sleeping in his arms as he just smiled at her, and a part of him didn't want to let her go all he wanted to do was just hold her close to him worried Buu would go after her again.
"Hey Vegeta, Gohan lets land to look over them." Goku said as he looked at Goten before he looked over at Shamano, not that he knew his name. "Would you mind keeping an eye on Majin Buu while we look over our friends?" Goku asked while Shamano just nodded at him.
Tien just looked at Goku with a smile. "Hey don't worry buddy we'll keep an eye on Majin Buu just hurry up okay."
Goku nodded and went to land on the ground with Gohan and Vegeta in order to keep a better eye on the others, Dende decided to go with them as his healing powers could help in a way while Mr. Satan insisted in coming along as he's really worried for both his daughter and his friend…. Especially due to the fact that the former was in the arms of the boy he didn't really like.
As this was going on, Trunks, Goten, Piccolo, Videl and the good Majin Buu were carefully laid on the ground with Goku, Gohan and Vegeta still hoping that there was a way to help them regain consciousness though they are glad their rescued friends are alive. "Man, I just hope they're alright…" muttered Goku while placing Goten down gently.
"Buu! Videl!" came Mr. Satan's voice as he made his way towards where Videl and the good Buu were laying with his usual overprotective side getting the better of him once he was by their side and then glared at Gohan with fire in his eyes. "You there! How could you allow this to happen?"
"Mr. S, don't worry about it…. They're both fine we made sure of that…" Gohan tried to explain to the World Martial Arts Champion, though it was one of those things that the older man just didn't want to hear
"Don't you tell me not to worry! She's not your daughter and then there's Buu!" snapped Mr. Satan, getting angrier with Gohan by the minute and even pointed the accusing finger at the Half-Saiyan. "Haven't you realized that if you actually killed the other one, I would have lost this one, one who's my friend!"
Gohan just gave a smile as he then saw Zangya landed next to the group and Gohan just looked over at her. "What are you up to anyway and how do you know him anyway? Is he part of your gang that attacked the Earth?" Gohan asked the green skinned woman.
Zangya on the other hand just simple shock her head at what Gohan said to her and she couldn't blame him very few had heard of him. "It's a long story and no, he wasn't otherwise he wouldn't be here helping…" she explained to the Half-Saiyan fighter with a frown on her face. "Let's not forget that we have bigger problems right now."
"Don't remind me…" growled Gohan, still not so willing to trust Zangya after everything that she had done 6 years ago and they needed to look after the others, however it was then that his eyes widened in shock. "What the?!"
"What is it Gohan?" asked Goku, though he noticed what his elder son was talking about and even Vegeta couldn't believe what he was seeing as they glanced directly at Trunks and Goten despite the two still having not woken up.
They just looked down at the two as they all saw that both Goten and Trunks had both grown their Saiyan tails, which Mr. Satan was a little shocked over. "What the hell why do they have weird monkey tails!" He yelled as he looked at the two boys and was now worried as he thought that something had happened while they were inside Buu and looked over at Videl.
"Oh no…" He began as he held his head and waved his arms around. "Don't tell that it's going to happen to my little Videl as well!" He yelled out once more while looking over at Videl with a confused look on his face having no idea what was really going on.
"Mr. Satan you don't have to worry it not a virus that gives people tails." Gohan said as he knew that was what he was thinking right now.
"Don't you tell me what to think my poor baby Videl has been absorb by that evil Buu and now, now she could be getting a tail for all I know!" He yelled once again as Zangya just gave a deep sigh at how much of a fool this human was.
"He's telling the truth you idiot!" snapped Vegeta, he was starting to get really annoyed by this moron right now and it was best to tell him point-blank about why Goten and Trunks have tails again. "You know nothing about Saiyans do you?"
"Saiyan?! What exactly is that?!" demanded Mr. Satan, somewhat dumbfounded with that name and it made the Saiyan Prince scowl even more at this stupidity from the current World Martial Arts champion.
"This is gonna get ugly…" muttered Goku, wanting to keep Videl's father from really making Vegeta made as almost everyone on Earth having been killed by the evil Buu was already bad enough and even someone like Mr. Satan didn't deserve to be blasted into oblivion. "We'll explain later but you need to start trusting us more, your daughter won't grow a tail as she's completely human nor would the good Majin Buu."
"What makes you say that?! You're not her father!" Mr. Satan yelled at Goku, even though he wasn't as tall as the Saiyan Warrior as Dende checked up on them and Gohan was rather glad that there isn't a full-moon out right now as that would have made things even worse should the two boys look directly at it.
"Hey if you're done down there Buu is changing again!" Shamano yelled as he along with 16, 17, Tien and Chaotizo all looked as Buu got even smaller and each one apart from Mr. Satan could feel his power get larger as well. "Well this is just fantastic."
Meanwhile back on the Kai world, Shin was looking over as Buu was getting smaller and the old Kai could see the fear that was in his face. "So are you saying that this is Buu's original form, alright now I'm confused are you sure?" The Old Kai asked looking over at Shin.
Shin just nodded at this as he looked over at the Old Kai. "Yes I'm dead certain, you see many eons ago the Supreme Kais were enjoying a long rain of peace under our benevolent leader Daikaioh, it was a happy and peaceful time. There was the Kai of the North and the Superman Kai of the West and South Kai I was severing as East Kai back then." Shin said as he remembered his old friends that had lost their lives fighting Buu.
"As with most harmonious times, a period of disharmony was destined to follow… We had no way to prepare ourselves for the evil creation that the wizard Bibidi was about to unleash onto the universe…" Needless to say, the memories would be something that he didn't want to relieve at all as the monstrous creature was a seemingly unstoppable killing machine and Bibidi being its creator, watch with a wicked grin on his face as he watched Buu destroying anything that stood in their way.
The West Supreme Kai bit her lower lip as she was shown fighting against the uncontrollable threat within a glacier-like planet, yet as power as she was… she proved to be no match for her opponent. "The beautiful guardian of the West was the first to encounter Majin Buu in battle…" said Shin, painfully thinking of how the West Supreme Kai met a horrible death at the hands of Bibidi's creation.
"She's no match for you is she? I bet you're bored silly…" laughed Bibidi with a grin on his face, rather disappointed with how this fight was taking place and watched Buu easily took her down like she was nothing though it still proved to be a rather tough fight.
"West Kai knew that their fight would be to the death." Kibito Kai said as he could only frown. "And so it was."
West Kai tried to look for Kid Buu only for the monster to show up right behind her and powered up a killing Ki blast that was right at her back and at point blank range as well. As from above a huge pink blast was seen as Majin Buu was flying away while West Kai was still screaming until the blast overtook the with the explosion and West Kai last dying scream.
Bibidi on the other hand was smiling at the death of West Kai and failed to see that Majin was flying away and without him, this was something that he didn't really like. "Hey where do you think you're going I'm the only one who decides what to do around here?" Bibidi yelled as he tried to catch up to his creation.
The next one to fight Majin Buu was North Kai as he went charging at the pink monster with his sword, while Buu was jumping backwards to keep away from North Kai. For soon Buu landed on a rock while doing a handstand, yet the monster was just smiling at North Kai.
"North Kai was the next one to engage Majin Buu in battle…" Shin continued, as the North Supreme Kai managed to slice Buu in half with his sword yet it wasn't enough to kill his opponent as he would soon learn the hard way as the top half floated down in front of him and with one hand, fired a powerful blast which blew him away. "He too met his end on that fateful day."
Bibidi soon started laughing as this was becoming too easy to kill each of the Supreme Kais as Buu was doing all the work and watched as his creation's two halves combined back together then crushed North Supreme Kai's neck with one foot, ending his life almost instantly.
Shin can never forget the lost of the West and North Surpreme Kais as well as the horrified expression on his face when he and Daikaioh learned of their fates. "Sir… West Kai and North Kai… they've both been killed!"
Even though Daikaioh remained silent, he can never forgive Bibidi or Buu for the deaths and destruction that they are bringing about to the entire universe.
"South Surpreme Kai was the next one to fight Majin Buu." Kibito Kai said as, both South Kai and Majin Buu went charging towards each other.
It was at this point that Majin Buu and gave a keen jump right onto South Kai's back the Kai of the South just used his elbow to bash Majin Buu away from him. But all Majin Buu did was once again counter attack once more this time aiming for the Kai shoulders, however South just grabbed hold of Majin Buu's head for bringing his own forward and heading butting the pink monster.
Majin Buu on the other hand just pulled away hold his head as he just looked over at South Kai in anger as he tried to give a right kick, only for South Kai to block it with his arm. However the small pink killing machine would let that stop him as he extended his left arm to punch South Kai in the face.
Yet to Buu shock South Supreme Kai just away and grabbed Buu's arm before it was torn right off from Majin Buu, while South Kai just looked back with a smile as Buu held onto where his arm used to be.
"I think this belongs to you…" he said to Buu, throwing the arm onto the ground right in front of the pink monster and took to the sky moments before Buu regenerated his arm, then threw a small pink ball. South Supreme Kai proved to be fast enough to counter the ball with a green Ki blast which destroyed it but was deflected away by the monstrous creature only for it to curve back at him as an attempt from the South Supreme Kai for a surprise attack
Buu managed to avoid being grabbed and then kicked his opponent in the back of the head before landing on the ground moments before the attack headed his way. With a sadistic grin, he opened his mouth and absorbed the blast, venting out steam from his veins shortly afterwards.
Unfortunately, the South Supreme Kai would fail to notice that the served arm that he tossed aside earlier liquefied into pink goo and Buu used it to his advantage as it began covering the Kai in question when he least expected it as the creature grinned as he watched his foe struggling to break free but to no avail.
"South Kai was the strongest and the sturdiest among us… and was also the first to fall to Buu's absorption technique…." Shin could never forgive himself for what became of the South Supreme Kai, especially as he remembers the goo that completely consumed the strongest of the Supreme Kais returning to Buu and making him even more powerful than ever.
"I think I see now, that hulking form we just saw minutes ago while Buu was transforming. That's the form he assumed when he absorbed South Kai." Old Kai said as he looked over at Kibito Kai who had fear on his face.
Shin nodded his head to confirm sadly. "Yes." Was all he could say at the loss of his friend, as he looked down at the ground? "I too would have meant my end that day like all of the others; I didn't even stand a chance against Majin Buu." Kibito Kai said as fear showed it self once again. "I was staring death right in the face."
He could never forget how he himself fought against the seemingly unstoppable Mega Buu, more so as the monster had been bulked up quite a lot ever since absorbing the South Supreme Kai and easily managed to slam right into Shin at top speed, sending him onto a nearby rocky-edge with all his new power. Then Buu fired a pink blast from his mouth and the surviving Surpreme Kai was unable to get out of the way on time due to the wounds he had received, only for fate to intervene as Daikaioh appeared from out of nowhere. "Daikaioh!" yelled Shin in shock as the benevolent being with his previously unknown power managed to redirect the blast back at Buu and then fired a blast from his own mouth, tearing the monstrosity into pieces.
"I've never seen my benevolent leader unleash such a furious attack, any other adversary would have been finished…" Shin continued to speak to the Old Kai about the story involving Majin Buu itself as he would remember the one moment in his life that he would never forget as the pieces of Buu began to merge back together into one giant blob in the sky.
"Yet what I witnessed after that, I will never forget." With that the giant blob went right down towards Daikaioh as the pink blob covered the Kai's body as Daikaioh tried to fight and get from Majin Buu, while the East Supreme Kai could only watch in horror at what was happening to his leader. "No I'm the one you wanted, leave him alone!" He yelled as he could only watch.
Soon smock surrounded the pink blob while all Surpreme Kai could do was watch as he now saw a fat version of Majin Buu with a purple cap. While the newer version of Buu just gave a happy yell and landed right on the ground as Bibidi ran over to the new fat Buu shocked at what happened to his creation. "Buu your fat, is that really you under there?"
Fat Buu on the other hand just looked at his master with a smile on his face as he just did a hand stand with one hand and looked over at Bibidi. "Yep, me Buu me all Buu from head to toe Buu very hungry."
"Oh…" Bibidi said in shock at this not sure what to say to this hungry version of Buu before his eyes. "Well lets go finer some cake how's that?" Bibidi asked as Buu on the other hand looked at his master with a smile.
Fat Buu was a little curious on what cake was. "Cake what's Cake is it good?"
Bibidi just looked at Buu with a frown on his face. "Yes why not." But he then smiled s a thought came to his head to keep Buu on his side. "Yes Buu cake is the most delicious thing the universe."
"Yipee! Cake!" Buu jumped into the air and landed on his bottom, which Bibidi saw that this form of his creation was somehow easier to persuade than how he was when he was first created… something that could work to his advantage somehow and was so preoccupied, that he had forgotten that Shin was still alive. "Buu want some now!"
"Very well… from now on I'll feed you cake every day if you obey me and do as I say…" explained Bibidi, having his back turned and a grin forming on his face which made Buu rather excited with having something delicious to eat. "How does that sound?"
"Buu do! Buu do!" As this was going on, Shin laid on the ground still injured as he saw that the monster in question was more like a child than an unstoppable killing machine due to having absorbed Daikaioh but still shocked by his leader's sacrifice never the less
"In a sense, Daikaioh not only saved my life by being absorbed but the entire universe as well… It was his innocence and purity that transformed the killing machine into the happy frolicking Buu…" he finished the story as to how Majin Buu came to be and his last thoughts were how Bibidi eventually sealed Buu away into the ball then met his end at the hands of the surviving Supreme Kai himself, while having once believed that without the evil wizard, the creature would never again threaten the universe
"Now I finally get it…" began Old Kai, placing a finger on his chin as he was taking in everything the younger Kai had told him. "Yes… Absorbing South Supreme Kai and Daikaioh… it actually weakened him; it brought his power down…. I thought the opposite was true."
"Exactly… this Buu is even more powerful and without the influence of the Kais' goodness inside of him, he's evil… pure unrestrained evil…" said Shin, watching with a horrified expression as he saw that Majin Buu was back in his true form which means it could be the end of the universe if Goku and the others don't do something soon.
Back on Earth, the Z-Fighters took witness to the newest incarnation of Majin Buu and were rather confused by the sight of it. "He shrunk how, is it even possible that he's stronger than ever?" scowled Vegeta, especially as it wouldn't make sense for their opponent to be smaller than he was before, right to the size of a child.
"This is not good, Buu is on the move again." Gohan said as he felt Kid Buu moved from where he was to a different location and looked over out towards the ocean. "Icarus, I may need you to look after Videl for me." Gohan said to his old friend while still holding the woman that he loved, as he Goku and Vegeta went to where Buu was who now had a smile on his face.
Just than Buu began screaming as load as he could while all the other fighters just covered their ears from the noise that was coming from Buu, as even the whole Planet was beginning to shake. Even the sky above them had grown dark and from the distance pink lighting could be seen while in many city's that were close to where the fighting was going on began to fall apart. "God, will someone just shut him up!" Vegeta yelled as the Saiyan prince began covering his ears from Buu's screaming voice.
It was then that Kid Buu stopped and once again looked down at the Earth and gave a deadly smirk on his face, as he extended his arm outwards and fired a powerful Ki blast intending to take out the Earth along with everyone on it.
"Oh shit!" Shamano yelled as he fired a Ki blast of his own to deflect Buu attack since Vegeta and Goku where holding onto their son's and Piccolo.
"Is he insane?!" asked Gohan in complete shock, while holding Videl in his arms as that was way too close for comfort. "That blast could have destroyed the entire planet, good thing you managed to stop it on time."
"What a fool…" growled Vegeta with anger, knowing that the attack was considered a suicide attempt even for someone as powerful as Kid Buu much like when Frieza's supposed suicide attempt brought Namek to complete destruction years ago. "Does he want to die too?!"
"He was probably planning to get blown to pieces and then reform again…" added Goku, knowing that so far nothing was capable of destroying something like Buu even if it was really powerful and all the while Mr. Satan and Bee remained close to their friend the Good Majin Buu, hoping he would wake up soon.
It was then that Kid Buu turned his attention towards the surviving Z-Fighters nearby and had a serious expression on his face. "Hey Buu, it's your business if you want to destroy the Earth but fight us first you little coward!" yelled Vegeta, wanting the evil monster to put up an actual fight before trying to destroy the entire planet at least.
Buu just looked back at the fighters and just gave a low grunt at them while all Vegeta did was just simple laugh at how Buu could no longer talk. "Well a gifted speaker at least I no longer have to hear him talk now."
Kid Buu began to look over at everyone who was here and smiled at each and every one of them, and just gave the most evil grin that anyone had seen before he looked over to Gohan and something in him made Buu try to remember something on the half blooded Saiyan. "Buu kill you!" Was all he said as he saw Gohan was holding Videl in his arms and as far as he knew wouldn't be able to defend himself from his attack?
Icarus on the other hand saw Buu charge up the Ki blast that was aimed to kill not only Gohan but Videl too. Without thinking, the adult Dragon began flying up towards Kid Buu in an attempt to stop the blast but saw it was fired and knew he it was headed towards the two, which he had to stop at any cost.
Time slowed down as the blast was approaching Gohan and since he was holding Videl in his arms, he wouldn't be able to deflect it without dropping her, something that he didn't want happen as she could get hurt but it was then that he saw Icarus get in front of him and took the full force of the blast in order to save his Half-Saiyan friend.. "Icarus no!" he yelled in shock, watching his Dragon friend simply dropped to the ground, badly wounded by the attack much to the horror of everyone and it would serve as a really bad reminder to Gohan as he watched Piccolo sacrificing himself to save him from Nappa's devastating attack years ago back when he was a child. "You monster! How, could you do such a thing?!"
All Kid Buu did was just look at the half Saiyan with as he began to left his right arm into the air and gave a light chuckle towards all the fighters, as he began to power up yet another attack. Yet Goku and the others could feel that something was very wrong already with this attack.
"No, no that can't be meant for us that way too much energy it's enough to blow the Planet up ten times." Goku said with fear in his voice. "Guys we can't stop this."
Back on the Kai world, Old Kai was watching what was going on and knew that Goku and the others needed help and fast. "Listen to me, bring your earrings to Goku and Vegeta right way." Old Kai said as he looked up to Kibito Kai who just nodded at what his elder was telling him to do.
Kibito Kai just nodded. "You got it I'll do it right away sir!" Shin yelled and left as fast as he could.
However back on Earth Gohan was still shocked over the death of his friend as he looked at Buu and knew what he ready to destroy the Earth, even Goku was trying to plead with the pink monster. "No Buu why are you doing this? There will be nothing left, Buu please!" Goku yelled but all Kid Buu was just laugh like crazy at this as he kept building more power to his attack.
Tien, Chiaotzu 17, 16 and Zangya also looked on from where they were standing and could feel the power Buu was putting into it. "That manic is going to try, kill us all with one attack!" Zangya yelled
"We can't stay here, I hate to say this but the Earth is done for and we have to get out of here right now!" explained Tien, sensing that the attack was way too powerful to stop and took notice towards Mr. Satan trying to pick up the Good Buu and knew it wouldn't be right to leave him or Dende behind. "Come on!"
Tien and Android 17 were able to grab hold of Mr. Satan and the Good Majin Buu while Chiaotzu picked up Bee and Zangya is able to get Dende, then the group flew off into the sky joined by Android 16 moments before Kid Buu managed to complete his attack, launching it towards the Earth itself.
"Alright, we'll join up with the others and use Instant Transmission!" suggested Goku, while Gohan, Shamano and Goku nodded as they need to get Videl, Piccolo, Goten and Trunks off of the Earth as well since it looks like there was nothing more they could do now as they prepared to meet up with their friends.
Gohan frowned at the mortally wounded state that Icarus was now in and there was no way to get to him on time either, he really was going to regret leaving him behind but silently promised that the Dragon will be revived once this is all over. "Flying Nimbus!" he called out into the sky and out of nowhere, a strange yellow cloud began to approach him, allowing the Half-Saiyan to get on it. "Let's get going!"
The Nimbus sped at top speed as Gohan managed to catch up to Goku, Shamano and Vegeta with Tien, Chiaotzu, Zangya, 16 and 17 making their way towards them as fast as they could yet it seems the devastating attacking is getting that much closer towards the Earth and it looks like there was not enough time for Goku to be able to get them all out with his Instant Transmission. No… It's no good, I can't concentrate… the full-blooded and pure-hearted Saiyan Warrior thought to himself.
Just as the fighters looked back to death Kid Buu's attack getting closer to then Kibito Kai right in front of them as the Kai extended his hand out in order to help the remaining survivors of Earth. "Hurry you guys hold on all of you!" Goku yelled as he looked back at the others who just grabbed hold of the other as Shin managed to teleport everyone away, and it was just in time too.
From space all that could be seen was the whole Earth exploding killing anything that was left on the Planet, and not many could feel what was going on save for a very few like King Kai who had a look of fear on his face. Since he had been keeping a watch over what was going on.
"Hey what's going on?" Bulma asked seeing the look on the Kai face.
"This is horrible… just horrible…" began King Kai, in all his life even before his death from Cell's self-destruction on his home planet, he had never been this shocked from what was happening in the universe and especially as this would catch the attention of the three women in question.
"What happened?" wondered Chi-Chi, knowing that this couldn't be good news from what she was seeing and he would lower his head as what he had to tell them was going to be completely shocking… more so to Chi-Chi and Bulma since Erasa was at first unaware of what was really happening.
"The Earth… I'm afraid that it's been completely destroyed and there's nothing left of it but space debris…" explained King Kai, which would horrify the three dead females completely since Gohan, Goku and Vegeta as well as the mysterious Shamano were there trying to stop Majin Buu from doing so but if this was true…. "I'm sorry…"
"But wait what about everyone else on the Planet?" Bulma asked worried for her son.
King Kai just gave a gulp. "I'm not sure…" King Kai said as he tried to feel for them. "The last thing that happened was Gohan Goku and Vegeta getting out off Buu and that Icarus died saving both Gohan and Videl." The Kai said as Chi-chi had a shocked look on her face knowing that it was Gohan friend from when he was younger.
Meanwhile on the world of the Kais, everyone landed with a hard thud, but Gohan was more concerned with how Videl was who was still sleeping in his arms and just gave a light smile happy that she was alright.
Mr. Satan on the other hand was just laughing at this thinking that this was nothing more than a dream that he was having. "Yeah this must just be a dream that right a dream." He said laughing as he looked a Bee
Vegeta on the other hand just simple looked at Mr. Satan with shame and then at Gohan with a scowl. "And you're in love with the fool's daughter." Vegeta began looking over at Videl.
Gohan paid no attention to that as he was hoping that Videl would wake up soon and nearby, Tien punched the ground out of anger… especially as he never would have dreamed that the Earth would actually meet its end and they had failed to prevent it from happening. "Dammit! How could this have happen?" he cursed.
"We couldn't stop that attack and if we had tried, we would have perished with the planet" Chiaotzu tried his best to reassure his friend, more so as Old Kai was examining the depths of space via the crystal ball and frowned that there was actually no sign of the Earth but space debris. "That's just like how Goku couldn't save Namek when he fought Frieza but still managed to at least beat the tyrant before he could do anymore damage to the rest of the universe."
"The Earth is gone you say?" asked Mr. Satan, finding it rather amusing to hear something like that and still thought it was some kind of dream he was having. "Who are you trying to kid anyway? What do you think this is huh and come to think of it, what is this Namek or Frieza you're talking about?"
"Please, you don't know what's really going on here…." explained Dende, it was best he doesn't remember what happened to the original planet Namek nor would he want to remember the monster Frieza who tried to use the Namekian Dragonballs to wish for Immortality. "Wait a minute… that's it! The Namekian Dragonballs, we could use them to restore the Earth and bring back everyone Buu killed."
"What do you mean? What are those Dragonballs that you keep talking about?" it was official; Mr. Satan was completely clueless on how things had turned out even before he became the World Martial Arts Champion and the others could tell that they really needed to explain things to him.
"Damn it, now what are we going to do?" Shamano asked looking at the fighters and saw that Piccolo, Videl and the others were starting to wake up.
Gohan couldn't help but smile as Videl woke up rubbing her head. "Ow my head…" Videl said as she opened her eyes to see that Gohan was holding her in his arms. "Gohan…" Videl said with a smile, it was a weak one since she still felt weak from being in Buu.
"It's alright Videl your safe." Gohan said as he gave her a large smile before he hugged her.
Videl was a little shocked by this and where she was since the last thing she remembered was Majin Buu pink blob go over her and after that nothing. "Gohan what happened the last thing I remember was Buu doing something to me." Videl said looking at Gohan as she then saw some other people there she didn't recognized.
"Gohan who are they?" Videl asked as she looked Androids 16, 17, Zangya and Shamano as she hadn't seen them before.
All Gohan did was just give a smile at them. "Well I don't know who, he is." Gohan said as he looked over at Shamano. "But two of them are friends as for her…" Gohan said as he looked over at Zangya with a frown. "Well she wants to help."
"I see…" began Videl, with Gohan placing onto the Nimbus Cloud so she can rest up a bit and it was then that she noticed that everything looked different especially as she took notice towards Shin and the Old Kai. "Is that Shin? Why does he look so different? In fact, who is the old guy?"
"The old guy is actually a Kai, as for Shin… I don't know how but it seems he somehow fused with Kibito, last I checked when I was brought back to Earth… this wasn't the case" explained Gohan, yet a frown came upon his face as while she and the others were safe and sound, she would realize that the planet they're on isn't Earth.
"Okay so you're telling me this is the place you were brought to when you lost to Buu the first time?" Videl asked him, noticing that there was a major difference at the surrounding then saw the frown that the Half-Saiyan had upon his face and knew that something must have happened earlier. "Gohan, is something wrong?"
"I'm not sure how to tell you…" answered Gohan, his eyes were closed and knew it would most likely hurt her with what he has to say but took a deep breathe. "The Earth, it's gone… Majin Buu destroyed it completely after Vegeta, my father and I rescued you, I'm sorry…."
This caught Videl completely off-guard, more so than when she learned that he was the Gold Fighter back when she saw him transform during his match with Kibito during the World Martial Arts Tournament before Spovovich and Yamu stepped in and nearly killed him, right in front of her never the less…. All the while Goku kept her from getting involved in an attempt to save him even if he didn't like the idea himself.
Though on the other hand, she was still in shock over this and didn't know what to say. After all her home was gone it was no more the Planet she had spent her whole life on was now gone. "It's okay we can use the Dragonballs right?"
Gohan just nodded as he just looked down remembering his friend's death but for now he needed to be ready Buu would be looking for them soon and they needed to make a plan and fast. "I need to make sure that Videl is safe I won't let anyone else die." Gohan thought and looked around a little and saw the kid from before some distance away looking over the Planet they were on.
"Zangya I want to know who that kid is." Gohan said to the former Bojack gang member. "And I can tell that you know him, I can see it on your face it's full of fear and from what I can feel he is not that strong." Gohan said and it was true Zangya had a look of fear on her face when she looked at him.
"He's actually not just some kid; don't you know he's a Trimonight? They are or were a race that could cross dimensions and watched over them in case people like me and Bojack tried to attack worlds that couldn't look after themselves!" snapped Zangya, having a feeling that calling Shamano a kid at a time like this could seriously piss him off to no end and especially not something that should happen due to their current situation right now. "We actually crossed paths back when I was still part of Bojack's gang eons ago, he both smart a deadly when he wants to be, but as you can tell he can travel where he is needed has his own space ship last I remember that he does use to go where ever he wants."
"You're kidding aren't you…" muttered Gohan, still giving Zangya a glare since he still remembered when she and the rest of Bojack's gang attacked the Earth a year after the Cell Games though she shook her head with a frown on her face.
Zangya just nodded looking over at the lonely man that was what she could feel from him something must have happened since the last time she and her gang had seen him. "After all from what I know, his people don't age oh sure they can be killed by a bullet if not paying attention. His people are just one of the ancient species of the universe that lower ones like you Saiyans and Humans don't know of." Zangya said with a frown on her face, the frown slowly turning into a scowl. "Plus if I was kidding, I wouldn't be having this expression" she added as to show that she was actually speaking the truth and could tell that he might actually be strong enough to fare against a Super Saiyan in battle had it not been for the fact that the Saiyans with her are now her allies. "Besides, he helped the Kai's imprison us to begin along with and everything else you already know."
Vegeta just gave a scoff at this. "He doesn't sound tough from the looks of it he got beat up by Majin Buu." Was all the Saiyan Prince said with a frown only for Shamano to overhear this and get angry at the comment.
"Say what you want, but his entire race was actually wiped out and as it stands, he is the last of his kind from what I am aware of" added Zangya, knowing that the Saiyans weren't the only ones that were nearly wiped out from the face of existence had it not been for the fact that Goku had been sent to Earth due to being a low-class Saiyan and the son of the infamous Bardock. "Perhaps some of you are familiar with an alien race known as the Tuffles am I right?"
"The Tuffles, yeah King Kai told me about them and how the Saiyans obliterated them with their power" explained Goku, thinking back to how he first learned about the full story involving the Saiyan Race back when he was training on King Kai's planet in preparations for the arrival of Vegeta and Nappa. "How is it that you know about them anyway?"
"I was actually digging up a few things since Bojack's defeat and it stands that the Trimonights were actually killed off by the Tuffles, almost nobody knew that except Shamano himself since he witnessed this first-hand" said Zangya with a small shrug, she was somewhat surprised herself to finding out that revelation and had always thought the Tuffles were not as evil as the Saiyans or their former ally Frieza and his Planet-Trade Organization were.
"What so why, why did the Tuffles do this they were peaceful so did his people try and hurt them." Goku said shocked at this.
Videl on the other hand was just confused at what was going on and wonder what the Tuffles were same with the Trimonights. "What are they talking about?" Videl thought to herself as she looked at them all. "Gohan what is this yellow cloud I'm on?" She asked with a whisper in her voice still feeling a little weak. "I must be dreaming on something I mean I'm on a fluffy yellow cloud." She said Videl just closed her eyes and opened them only to see that she that the cloud she was on was real.
"Oh you're on the Nimbus cloud in which only those who have a pure heart can ride it." Gohan said with a smile towards her. "Something I knew that you could do." He said with a smile.
Hearing Vegeta scoff both Gohan and Videl just looked back over to what was going on even though she was pretty surprised that she is pure of heart. "So could the theses Tuffles be bad guys Gohan?"
"Yeah they are, only I doubt there would be any left thanks to the Saiyans…" explained Gohan, reassuring Videl that she wouldn't need to worry about the Tuffles causing problems. "Besides, we should focus on something more important right now… bringing the Earth back though I highly doubt that the evil Buu would be completely destroyed."
Videl remained silent at this, having a feeling that he would be right since they saw the evil Buu having previously blown himself up and that wasn't enough to end him for good prior to this and before she could say anything else, she felt a fierce embrace. "Thank heavens you're okay sweetie! I'd thought I'd lost you much like what happened to your mother!"
"Its okay dad, you don't have to embarrass me…" she told Mr. Satan, though he would notice that she was on the Nimbus Cloud with a hint of confusion and examined it from head to toe.
"What kind of cloud is that and how are you on it for that matter?"
"That's the Nimbus Cloud, and it's not just a regular cloud either… it's a cloud you can actually ride on, however there's something you need to know…" Gohan tried to explain only for Mr. Satan to interrupt the young Half-Saiyan warrior with a laugh and a cocky grin on his face.
"Oh really, let's test that theory… Videl, if you'd be so kind please…" he told his daughter, gesturing her to get off even though she still felt a bit weak from having been absorbed not too long back and the World Champion glanced at the cloud. "Alright, let's see what you can do!" He jumped into the air and prepared to land on the cloud, only to end up falling through it and hitting the ground flat on his face. "Ouch! What the?!"
"You have to be pure of heart to rid on it." Gohan said as he and even Videl couldn't help but laugh at this.
"So only you and your family can ride it then." Videl said with a smile.
"And you as well Videl." Gohan said while all Videl did was blush at hearing Gohan say this to her.
"Oh they are not, Goku they stabbed us in the back killing many of my friends." Shamano said walking up to them. "And just so you know the Tuffles didn't wipe us all out we ended ourselves to end our war and I survived but not by chose."
"No way…" this shocked Goku upon hearing that and Shamano shook his head, despite being rather angry with Vegeta's previous comment on him but didn't retaliate. "Man, looks like you learn something new every day and here I thought things couldn't get any stranger.
"Say what you want, we still need to find a way to stop Buu once and for all, for all I know he could be destroying other planets now." added Shamano, yet the Trimonight couldn't be further from the truth as among the Earth's remains, all of the pieces of Kid Buu began to merge back together to reshape the image of the pink monster.
"Ah! You have a tail?!" exclaimed Goten, shocked to see that Trunks had a tail now and he was more shocked to see he had one as well, especially as it would catch the attention of Goku and the others upon hearing Goten scream. "Wow, I have a tail as well!"
"What's going on here? Are we starting to change into something else?" demanded Trunks, just as shocked as his best friend was and had no idea on where their tails came from since they had been removed at a very young age to prevent them from transforming into Great-Apes at the sight of the full moon.
Gohan just smiled at the two. "No you've just re-grown your tails is all." He said with a smile as the two young Half-Saiyans looked over at Gohan. "I mean we've all had one, I had one myself when I was even younger then you." Once he said this Videl was a little shocked and couldn't but pitcher a 4 year old Gohan with a tail something that made her blush.
"Well once this is done we could just remove them after we have dealt with Buu." Goku said as he tried to think of why they had grown tails and at a time like this.
"Hey guys something going on where the Earth used to be!" Kibito Kai yelled calling all the fighters over to him.
Once they were all around the crystal ball, they just looked to see that Kid Buu was reforming back to his full body. "Damn it won't nothing kill this thing!" 17 yelled, furious that the monster that killed his family was still alive.
"17 you need to calm down, Gohan and his friends will bring them back with the Dragonballs, what we must do defeat Buu before more worlds meet the same fate that the Earth." Android 16 said with a frown on his face.
"News flash my friend, the Dragonballs are gone as well.. destroyed with the Earth!" reminded Android 17 with a scowl on his face, knowing that even with Dende alive, it was unlikely the Dragonballs would be here on this world with him.
"If he could withstand an incredible explosion like that then how are we ever going to defeat him?" wondered Shin in horror, watching with the others nearby as the crystal ball revealed Kid Buu had been completely restored and is about to start to begin an unchallenged reign of destruction upon the entire universe
A/Ns: Well this is it… We are getting closer to the final battle and epic some major deaths when that comes, though I have been considering about the possibility of bringing the West Supreme Kai into the story and having her revealed to have barely survived her battle with Kid Buu eons ago but not right away as I want to wait till the right moment. What do you the readers think?
