Hey guys. Looks like I'm putting up another chapter of… What was this again?

Dx: Dragonball Z: Gohan's High School Buusical.

RDF1: RIGHT! Right! Right. Right.

Gohan: Dude, you need a slap to the head to wake up?

RDF1: No. I'm fine. Just tired I guess. Oh well…

(pops joints)

RDF1: THERE WE GO!! I feel better now!

Hercule: Start the fic already so I can save Bee!

RDF1: Fine.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Why else would this be up here?

Sad to say this is where extended plot devices are activated to lengthen the series. Hopefully I can work around or with that to keep it entertaining, or something. Because Gohan doesn't really see all that much action to begin with, and Piccolo even less.

Time to start…

(Chapter Begin)

(Recap)

While Buu was playing fetch with Bee, Hercule felt a chill go down his spine. He turned to the cliffs to see the sniper taking aim on Bee.

"HEY!!" shouted Hercule, "GET AWAY FROM HERE! NOW!!"

Hercule tackled the guy down, causing his shot to misfire in the air.

"Take the puppy down!" order the thug who was being held down by Hercule.

"I don't think so!" shouted Hercule, knocking the thug on the ground out, before turning to tackle the other one down.

Hercule was determined to save Bee AND Buu; he swore it.

(Recap End)

While Hercule was defending Buu, I mean beating the crap out of the two idiots, Buu was standing shocked still, wondering why those men would want to hurt Bee. Hercule let his guard down for a second walloping on the older man, allowing the other one to recover and take out a pistol and shoot Hercule in the chest, piercing clean through his right lung. Hercule, through his adrenaline, ignored it and focused his attention on the shooter, intent on making him go down. The guy got a few more shots off before Hercule got to him, each one knick through his shoulders, hip, and leg, but it didn't stop Hercule from breaking his jaw with a single shot and sending him into blissful unconsciousness before the wounds got to Hercule. He collapsed on the spot, sending Buu racing towards him.

"HERCULE!!" shouted Buu.


"Damn it!" swore Piccolo up on the lookout with Dende next to him, "Things are getting out of control. I need to get the boys into the chamber sooner than I thought."

"Go!" said Dende, "I'll keep watch here."

"Right," said Piccolo, before he rushed off to get the boys.

Turns out, the boys had just returned, an hour after they were supposed to.

"Goten knows Instant Transmission," rebuked Piccolo, "So don't tell me it took you over an hour to get back! Take five for your mothers to look you over, then report to me!"

"YES SIR!!" responded Trunks and Goten immediately, not wanting to tick him off anymore.


Meanwhile, back at Buu's house…

"Hercule, no!" begged Buu, "You can die, not now!!"

Buu focused all of his power into healing Hercule while trying to keep his anger at bay. He healed Hercule in less than a minute, but his anger wanted out, one way or another. Buu stepped away from Hercule, not wanting to hurt his friend.

"Buu, no!" said Hercule weakly as he got up, "FIGHT IT Buu!! You don't need him anymore!!"

"Too late!" cried Buu, before releasing all of his anger in one burst of energy.

The energy released shaped itself into an evil Majin Buu. Hercule, knowing what was coming next, picked up Bee and hightailed it out of there. The Good Buu fought the Evil Buu, but lost, giving Evil Buu the power to Transform into a more powerful entity. The new Majin Buu noticed Hercule and moved to kill him, but the Good Buu wouldn't allow it. So, he powered up and flew straight towards the lookout, where a mass of energy was detected.


After being checked up on by Chi Chi and Bulma, Piccolo took the boys to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. He explained what the rules of the Chamber were and how long they had until Buu arrived.

It didn't take long before Buu arrived at the Lookout. Piccolo rushed out to meet him. After a Short discussion, Piccolo managed to convince Majin Buu to wait until he killed the rest of the Earth's Population. In response, Buu took a slow walk around the Lookout, just seemingly staring out across the skies of the Earth in all directions. When he was finished, his summoned his power and unleashed it all across the world, killing nearly every human left down there.

"'Human Extinction Attack', do you like it?" asked Buu when he was done.

"Not bad," replied Piccolo, earning 'are you crazy' looks from his friends, "I think that's a new record. If you wait one hour, our fighter will be ready."

"How long is an hour?" asked Buu.

Piccolo summoned an hourglass.

"When all the grains of sand fall from the top to the bottom, an hour will have passed," said Piccolo.

"That's not good enough!!" said Buu.

(AN1)

"Can't you be patient for one measly little hour!" taunted Videl, "Patience is a virtue, and those who wait will be rewarded. One hour is all we're asking."

"You want to DIE, loud-mouth girl?" questioned Buu, getting ready to charge a finger death shot.

"Wait!!" shouted Piccolo, "She is Hercule Satan's daughter! I doubt Hercule will be pleased if he knew you had killed her. Wait out the hour, for her sake if not anyone else's!"

Buu consented to the hour and decided to spend it in front of the hourglass.


Meanwhile, on the planet of the Kais, it took all of Gohan's willpower and Gohan2 and Oozaru to prevent himself from going insane. After 21 hours, added to the 5 hours prep, the process STILL wasn't completed. Goku had taken up playing card games with his parents to pass the time along.

'Another hour, and I'll be ready to go to the next level,' thought an anxious Gohan.

(Mindscape)

Meanwhile, in the mindscape, Gohan2 and Oozaru were sparing for the umpteenth time to pass time along until one of the gatekeepers, who had not been seen since Gohan was a little kid again, walked up.

"If you two wouldn't mind following me," said the guard, "There is something we must inform you of."

So, the two followed him out of boredom. When they arrived at the gates that were locked about ten years ago, they found the pathway came to a split; one path being open while the other was being unlocked from the many chains surrounding it.

"Nice," said Gohan2, "You're getting Gohan ready to unlock his hidden 'Mystic' powers, I see."

"Yes, but there is one slight problem with that," said the head guard, overlooking the others.

"Really? What's that?" asked Oozaru.

Suddenly, a group of gatekeepers appeared behind them and forced them into the opened pathway area, the locks closing in behind them, trapping them inside.

"You are preventing him from accessing his full power as a 'Mystic'. Therefore, you two, along with his Saiyan Powers, must be locked up if Gohan is to battle as 'Mystic' against Buu."

"YOU TRAITORS!!" shouted Gohan2.

"I'LL KILL YOU ALL!!" promised Oozaru.

"You won't be leaving here again. I promise you that," finalized the head Gatekeeper, as he returned to his duty of overseeing Gohan's 'Mystic' power being unlocked.

(Mindscape Exit)

Gohan felt something amiss in his mindscape, but put it too Gohan2 and Oozaru doing something by themselves in the mindscape waiting for Gohan's powers to be awakened. He concentrated on unleashing his inner power so he could help Gotenks and Piccolo when he got back to Earth.

(AN2)


Soon, Buu's patience was worn thin, and he demanded his fight NOW!! Piccolo decided to buy Goten and Trunks more time by taking an extremely long pathway towards the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to give Goten and Trunks as much time as need be. After a few minutes, and a mental message to Goten and Trunks, they arrived at the door. Upon entering, they found Goten and Trunks waiting for them.

"Where is the fighter?" asked Buu.

"It's them, just give them ten seconds to prepare," said Piccolo, before adding mentally to Goten and Trunks, 'You two better fuse right now, otherwise Buu will attack and you won't be able to fuse afterwards.'

'Right,' replied Trunks, before looking at Goten, "Ready?"

"Ready," replied Goten.

FU! SION!! HA!!!!!!

And with perfect synchronization, Gotenks was back and ready to fight Majin Buu.

"I'm back Buu, and this time I'm ready for you!!" said Gotenks.

'Hey! Remember the plan!!' reminded Trunks.

'I know, I know,' replied Gotenks.

After a flurry of attacks, all of which didn't do a THING, Gotenks pulled a tactical retreat and asked Piccolo for advice.

"Physical blows from the power level you are at right now aren't good enough. You need something with more oomph, otherwise Buu won't feel a thing," suggested Piccolo.

"Alright, I have a move that could work," replied Gotenks, moving back to the field of battle. He turned Super Saiyan, and then Ascended Saiyan after that. He was ready for the REAL fight now. "Ready to get started? COSMIC HALO!!" shouted Gotenks, forming a ring and using it to bind Majin Buu.

After a few minutes of struggling, Buu broke free of it. Gotenks formed a new strategy, after about ten minutes of dodging Majin Buu's blows. Soon, one got to him and knocked both him and Piccolo into the tub.

"What are you doing?" asked Piccolo, not happy at all at his predicament.

Gotenks got his bearings back and fought back Majin Buu, before being sent back to the ground. Gotenks recovered and shot upwards towards Buu like a rocket.

"Take THIS: SON/BRIEFS SKULL BASH!!" shouted Gotenks.

(AN3)

The impact caused a massive headache for both fighters.

"I think it's time for my new signature attack!!" said Gotenks, "Super! Ghost! KAMIKAZE! ATTACK!!"

Gotenks took a deep breath and released a white balloon of air that formed a ghost-like Gotenks. Buu was thrown off by this sudden tactic and when the Ghost attacked, he physically countered, causing the ghost to exploded in his face, warping his body.

'Inventive,' praised Piccolo mentally.

By the time Gotenks released another ten Ghosts and got them ready, Buu had recovered and was reading a magazine while sipping on some fruit soda.

(AN4)

"Sor-ry!" replied a sarcastic Gotenks, before sending Ghosts 1 and 2 into battle.

Buu was ready this time; finishing his drink, he jumped out of the way, causing both Ghosts to touch each other and go off, uselessly. Gotenks changed his strategy a little and was able to blow up Buu into a million tiny pieces.

Piccolo quickly got Gotenks off his high horse about being a 'legend', and got started on obliterating the pieces. However, Buu's will was too strong and willed the pink smoke back into physical form.

"You have a plan? I'm fresh out of ideas," said Gotenks dejectedly.

"I have one, though you're not gonna like it," replied Piccolo, charging up an energy blast.

He released the blast into the building that served as the only thing that broke up the continuity of the dimension they were in. The resulting explosion destroyed the door back to Earth, and the others.

"Buu, you've lost," said Piccolo, "I've just severed the connection back to Earth. We're trapped, and nothing you do can change that!"

"PICCOLO!!" complained Gotenks, softly enough so Majin Buu wouldn't hear, "I still had one trick left up my sleeve to beat that guy."

"You had your chance, kid, this is the ultimatum," replied Piccolo evenly, "THAT MEANS NO MORE CANDY, BUU! No more chocolate, no more jawbreakers, no more food, except us if you prefer."

This caused a great disturbance in Buu's mental stability and shouted in an echoing voice that ruptured the time/space continuum and punctured a hole to Earth. Buu used the portal to escape back to Earth, and to his next meal. The portal closed behind him.

'Just great,' said Piccolo, 'Now all that's left is for Gotenks to go Super Saiyan 3 so we can get out of here.'

"Ready to try the next level, Gotenks?" asked Piccolo.

"Alright," said Gotenks, before sighing "Though, I wish there was a crowd."

Piccolo's eye twitched for a second before he bopped Gotenks over the head so hard that Goten and Trunks felt it inside the mindscape.

'You didn't have to DO that!!' complained Goten.

Gotenks focused his power, reaching deep into his core, and brought out his full power as a Super Saiyan 3.

"I can't stay like this long, but it should long enough to finish out the fusion time, Piccolo," said Gotenks, before focusing his power again.

Gotenks then screamed out, his friends in mind as his echoing voice punctured a second hole in the time/space continuum, in the same spot as the first. Gotenks and Piccolo returned to the lookout, only to sense that everyone was gone, eaten by Majin Buu. Things were heating up, as Gotenks's time was nearly over, and Majin Buu was still just as powerful as ever.


Gohan felt Gotenks's power all the way from Earth, and he had to smirk, considering he was going to match it soon, and even before reaching Super Saiyan 3 himself. As he waited out the final minutes of the power up session, he wondered what happened to Gohan2 and Oozaru, since he hadn't heard from them for about 4 hours and he was starting to get concerned. Soon, he felt his power unlock fully and he was ready for action.

"I would love to stay and continue doing nothing, but I'm needed on Earth," said Gohan, standing up.

Elder Kai took the hint and rushed out of there just before Gohan powered up, feeling nothing of Super Saiyan transformation coming about, but paid it no heed, and got ready to battle Majin Buu. He quickly changed his clothes to match that of his father and used Instant Transmission to get himself to the battlefield. After he finished, Fasha walked up to him.

"Ready?" asked Fasha.

"Ye-es," replied Elder Kai, closing his eyes and puckering out his lips.

Fasha faked him out by kissing him on the cheek, before pulling back and standing next to Bardock.

"WHAT WAS THAT!!" said an angry Elder Kai, "THAT'S ALL I GET!!"

"Well," said Fasha, smirking, "You said a kiss. You didn't specify where, did you?"

Elder Kai just sighed, being tricked out of his own trick.

(AN5)

"You ALMOST had me worried there, Fasha," said Bardock.

"I wouldn't cheat on my mate," replied Fasha, "I had to make the tiniest of exceptions for Gohan's cause though."

"I said 'almost', dear," finished Bardock, "Good to know where your loyalties lie."


Gohan returned to Earth, about five miles from where Gotenks and Piccolo were stalling Majin Buu.

"This is it," said Gohan, "It's my time to fight. I owe it to the Planet Earth and everyone in the Universe to stop this creature. Majin Buu, you're fight is with me."

Gohan then summoned his energy and flew off to where Piccolo, Gotenks, and Majin Buu were.


Meanwhile, at the massa-, I mean battle, Normal Gotenks was getting knocked around the battlefield, before the fusion finally came undone.

"Oh crap," said Goten, fearfully.

"We're in for it now," added Trunks, also fearfully.

Buu waited about 30 seconds without doing anything, before sitting down and falling asleep, waiting for his next fight. A few minutes later, all four of them felt an energy signature approaching, revealing itself to be Gohan, who had finished training with Elder Kai.

"What up guys," said Gohan, as he landed, "Why not take a break? I'll battle Majin from here on in."

"GOHAN!!" shouted Goten, rushing to his brother and giving him the biggest bear hug he could muster.

Gohan returned the hug, chuckling a bit, before setting him down.

"Goten, I'm really proud of you. You held your own, even though you were scared and outmatched. You have shown true Son Courage," praised Gohan, before getting serious, "Rest now, I've got this handled."

"I see you have returned," said Buu, "I've been waiting for you."

"Sorry for the delay," replied Gohan, walking up to him, "I had something to take care of. Now, it's just you and me."

(AN6)

"Get him, Gohan!" encouraged Trunks, "Make him pay for what he did to the others!!"

"He got everyone, Gohan," followed Goten, "Mom, Dende, everyone. Even Videl."

Gohan's eye twitched as he kept his anger in check.

"You've made your last mistake, Majin Buu," said Gohan in a deathly serious voice, "Killing my family and friends I can tolerate, but killing Videl is something I can never forgive! You will die, even if I have to destroy you, molecule by molecule, just like I did with Cell!!"

(AN7)

"Well, Cell was nothing compared to me, can you handle it like you say?" challenged Buu.

"Last time we fought, I was nothing compared to you," replied Gohan, "Now I am stronger, are you?"

"Let's begin our fight, shall we?"

"Fight? No, not fight. I will destroy you for what you have done."

Goten and Trunks wanted to help Gohan, but Gohan cut them off.

"This is my fight, guys," said Gohan, "Gotenks had his chance, now he must wait at least an hour for his next shot."

Majin Buu was getting angry at Gohan's lack of fear, and tried to intimidate him with a burst of power, but Gohan merely matched his power with ease, throwing him off his game. Gohan then decided to throw the first punch, sending Buu back ten feet. Gohan then followed with a fake-out punch, only to kick Buu further back. Gohan then landed behind Buu. Buu tried to attack from behind, only for Gohan to raise his left hand and catch the blow, turning around and send a punch straight threw his stomach. He flooded power out of his fist, sending a broken Majin Buu flying. Buu recover and charged again, only for Gohan to speed behind him and knock him to the ground again.

'Something doesn't feel right,' thought Gohan, 'Something's off, I can feel it.'

Gohan pushed the thought to the back of his mind and rushed forward, pummeling Majin Buu with hundreds of blows in seconds. Gohan then charged a 'small' energy blast and sent it into Buu's mouth, blasting him apart once more. Buu regenerated again and reformed himself into a cannonball and shot himself at Gohan. Gohan brought up his left hand and stopped Buu in his tracks, before proceeding to pummel him again. Buu recovered and tried to attack Gohan from behind, only for him to pull a 'Rafiki' (AN8) and countered the move without even moving to look at Buu. Buu then tried an energy burst from his mouth again, but Gohan just made him swallow it, deforming him again.

"I guess you can't handle your own medicine, Buu," taunted Gohan, still ready for more.

"I will kill you, once an for all!!" said Buu, summoning out more power.

Buu then decided to set off a HUGE blast. Gohan used Instant Transmission to get the others safely away from the blast zone. When they landed, they couldn't find a hint of Majin Buu's power.

"Piccolo," said Gohan, "If I'm correct in thinking about what Majin Buu is doing, then we have 50 minutes to prepare for the next encounter. Buu's TRUE patience is paying off, since he's hiding and waiting for us to let our guard down."

"By the way," said Piccolo, "How did get so strong in just a day? You never told me, not even last time."

"Doesn't 'Elder Kai' ring a bell?" asked Gohan.

"Wow," said Piccolo, "I wonder what he can do with Nameks?"

So, Gohan took the next ten minutes to explain how he more than 100x his maxed out strength in just one day.

"Our next move is to get the Dragon Radar," said Gohan, "Finding the Dragonballs and keeping them safe is our primary concern."

"It doesn't matter," said Trunks, "Dende's dead."

"Not necessarily," said Gohan, "I felt him earlier. It was faint, but it was there. Follow me."

Gohan took off, flying towards Dende's energy signature with the others following him. Gohan then detected another energy signature, one he was familiar with.

"Hey guys," said Gohan, "Hold on. I'm gonna pick up a hitchhiker."

Gohan took a detour and picked up Hercule and Bee from their long walk from Good Buu's home.

"Hey Gohan," greeted Hercule, "Thanks for the save. I was dying out there."

"You could've lasted another hour or two before the heat got to you, but Bee on the other hand…"

Gohan didn't finish that sentence, not wanting to voice what would happen.

"How's it going, Goten and Trunks?" asked Hercule.

"Not bad," said Trunks, "Training, battling for the universe, same old, same old."

They soon found Dende and took about 30 minutes to catch up on current events, including telling Hercule about Videl's death at Majin Buu's hands, or rather stomach.

"I know you guys would have done something if you could," said Hercule sadly, before getting angry, "That Evil Buu! Darn him! You better make him pay, Gohan. I didn't risk my life to save Bee and Good Buu just for it to be in vain!"

"I promise you that, Hercule."

It wasn't long after that when Buu decided to make his reappearance.

"You didn't think I would just leave, right?" smirked Buu.

"No one returns to a losing battle, unless they have something in their favor," replied Gohan.

"Why should I fight you, when Gotenks wants another shot at me? Where's Gotenks? Is he scared?" taunted Buu.

'Let me at him!!' shouted Gotenks to Goten and Trunks, 'He's just begging to be pounded into mincemeat!!'

'Remember what Gohan said,' replied Trunks, 'Stay out of it!'

'But he challenged us,' countered Goten, 'We're warriors, aren't we! We can't just let him insult us and get away with it!'

Goten started powering up, forcing Trunks to do the same.

'No guys!' thought Gohan, 'Let me handle this!!'

FU! SION!! HA!!!!!!!

Gotenks powered up to Super Saiyan 3 right off the bat, wanting to take Majin Buu down for real this time.

However, no one noticed that Buu separated two portions of himself and had them get ready to surprise Piccolo and Gotenks from behind.

'Crap,' thought Gohan, 'Buu is definitely smarter than before.'

"Gotenks, power down NOW!!" urged Gohan, "This is MY fight!"

"He challenged me, so you'll have to wait, Gohan," replied Gotenks, "When I'm done, maybe, just maybe, there'll be something left for you."

"I see Vegeta's arrogance, as well as Goku's naïveté and adrenaline rush for battle has passed onto you. Too bad Goten and Trunks can't display that adrenaline rush more often, then I could actually train you guys right, instead of just taking it easy on you."

"Goten and Trunks heard that, and they want fight you after all of this is over," replied Gotenks, chuckling a bit.

Buu then activated his capture power and captured Gotenks and Piccolo and absorbed them into himself. Gohan just glared at Buu during this whole exchange and watched as Buu's antenna lengthened and Gotenks's vest appeared on him.

"The power of Gotenks, the mind of Piccolo, and my own stamina," said Buu, "all wrapped into one. Can you beat me now?"

"Well, I'm stronger than Gotenks, and smarter than Piccolo," replied Gohan, "The only thing left to determine is if I have more endurance than you!"

Gohan powered up further to match Buu. Gohan used Instant Transmission to get behind Buu, only to be stopped by Buu's OWN Instant Transmission.

'Damn,' thought Gohan, 'He can match my speed. Guess I have to get serious sooner rather than later.'

Gohan focused his power and started moving in on Buu, launching a fury of punches and kicks, though only a few connected. Gohan pulled back at the sight of Buu's energy blast.

"MASENKO! HA!!" shouted Gohan, launching his original signature attack at Buu's blast.

After the blast collided, causing a HUGE explosion, Gohan and Buu traded more blows, until Buu focused power into his right index and middle fingers. Gohan mirrored him and both of them launched 'Special Beam Cannons' at each other.

"Not bad, Gohan," said Buu, "Though you're looking a bit tired."

"More like bored," countered Gohan, "I let you take Gotenks and Piccolo to see how badly you wanted to defeat me and here I see you really haven't strengthened at all. Sure your stronger, but I'm not even feeling them."

Buu got mad and tried to counter with insults of his very own, using Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks against him, saying how much they don't have faith in them.

"That's a lie!" said Gohan, "Piccolo knows better, and blood is thicker than water. Saiyans stick together no matter how much animosity is between us. Observe Goku and Vegeta for a while and attempt to understand what I mean."

Gohan formed a Kamehameha and launched it at Buu, only for Buu to return the favor with his own.

'He can copy Piccolo and Goku's techniques down to the letter, but can he match mine!' thought Gohan, using Instant Transmission to gain a few feet distance, before launching another 'Masenko HA!' at him. Gohan focused his energy to move about through his body, but in different pathways as to deter Buu's heightened senses. He super speeded his way into pummeling Buu before Buu started block his attacks, using Instant Transmission, he got behind Buu and wailed on him from there, before falling back ten yards.

"I guess you just don't have the stamina," said a cocky Buu.

'That's it!' realized Gohan, knowing now why he was losing control of this fight, 'Something must have happened to Gohan2 and Oozaru, because I haven't been able to turn Super Saiyan ever since Elder Kai awakened my power! Something must have happened to them!'


"Why hasn't Gohan gone Super Saiyan yet?" asked Bardock, "If he can't defeat him in his normal mode, why not go Super Saiyan?"

"Because he can't," sighed Elder Kai, realizing his mistake, "By unlocking Gohan's 'Mystic' power, I have unintentionally locked away Gohan's Saiyan powers, including turning into a Super Saiyan."

"WHAT!?" shouted Goku, Bardock, and Fasha.

"I GAVE YOU A KISS FOR NOTHING THEN!!" screeched Fasha, upset that all the Elder Kai did was for nothing.

"I'm sorry," said Elder Kai, "I didn't know the severity of what this would accomplish."

"It doesn't matter now," said Bardock, "Right now we need a way to contact Gohan about this."

"He already knows," said Supreme Kai, looking at the, "He's already tried to go Super Saiyan twice now and failed both times."


Meanwhile, back on Earth, Gohan was slowly losing control of the battle ever since he found out he couldn't turn Super Saiyan. Buu then wanted to show Gohan just how much he learned by pulling out a Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack.

"So you can use Gotenks's signature move," said Gohan, "I'm not impressed."

"Oh, but you will be," replied Buu, "GO MY GHOST!!"

The Kamikaze Ghost launched himself at Gohan, who brought up his left hand and swatted it down while bring up his right hand. Upon making contact, he used Instant Transmission to teleport the explosion to include Buu as well, deforming his left arm and side.

"I'll be honest: I didn't expect that," admitted Buu, "But you still can't defeat me."

Gohan stood slowly, the pain from the explosion hurting more than he thought.

'Not as I am now, but maybe there IS a way,' thought Gohan, wondering how he could turn this fight around.

"You said you'd make me pay, but I have yet to see that happening," reminded Buu, as he reformed and picked up Gohan by the throat, "You have nothing left to fight with, and nothing to fight for…"


Meanwhile, on the Supreme Kai world, everyone was watching with uneasiness at Gohan's battle against Majin Buu, wondering how he could get help.

"I think it's time for you to head on back, Goku," said Elder Kai, "You need to help your son out."

"But how," said Goku, "I'm dead, and I've already used up my day on Earth."

"Because you won't be dead when you return to Earth. You can take whatever life is left in my body. I have little to no plans of ever returning to the living world and I can stay here, in the land of the Kais, to help my descendents."

"Thank you, Elder Kai," said Goku.

"Go for it, Son," said Bardock.

"Fight hard Kakarot," added Fasha.

"Thank you, Mother and Father, I'll make you proud," replied Goku.

"You already have," said Bardock and Fasha together.

Elder Kai concentrated and felt his life leaving him. Goku noticed the ring over his head disappear.

"I'll see you later, guys," said Goku, smiling a bit, before using Instant Transmission to get to Earth, after obtaining two Potara Earrings from Elder Kai, and an example from Kibito Kai on Kai Fusion.


Meanwhile, at the Check-In Station, Vegeta was called forth to journey to Earth for another bout against Majin Buu.

"I won't make the same mistake this time," said Vegeta, his focus at least 10x better than before, and he was ready to attempt Super Saiyan 3 for real.

Baba took him to Earth, hoping that King Yemma had made the right Decision.


By the time Goku got back to Earth, Gohan had done everything he could to stay alive, but Buu was ready to finish him off. Dende was able to heal him during the distraction Gohan gave Buu to deal with.

"Thanks, Dende," said Gohan, his strength returned, but not increased, "But it won't be enough. My Saiyan powers have been locked and until I can unlock them, I can't get stronger."

"But, why have…" started Dende.

"Long story, but it won't matter if I die now, so just get out of here before we lose our last shot at getting everyone back!"

Dende ran as fast as he could, given the terrain he was working with. Buu sent an energy beam, reminding Gohan of Frieza and moved to block it, only for another energy blast to knock it off course.

They turned to see Tien was there, his hands in a Tri-Beam formation.

"Hey Tien," greeted Gohan, "I haven't seen you in years! I've been waiting to see you in action again."

"Well, Majin Buu here cut our training trip short with his 'Human Extinction Attack' earlier. Nearly got me and Chiaotzu."

Buu got tired of more fighters, weak ones at that, showing up and decided to end the Earth right then and there. However, Goku showed up and with a Destructo Disc, chopped Buu in three: his antenna, his upper body, and his lower body. The blast was also weakened so it would only destroy a small area.

"Dad! How d'you get back here?" wondered Gohan.

"Elder Kai, Gohan," replied Goku, "Now it's time to go to the next level!"

"Dad! Get out of here!" yelled Gohan, "There's someone who's on his way here right now and he's a better candidate!"

"Fine, if you're not gonna fuse with me," relented Goku, "Then I'll go it alone!"

Goku then powered up to Super Saiyan 3, the strain feeling less than when he did it earlier, as he now has had practice, and battled Majin Buu by himself. Gohan took that time to get Tien, Dende, and Hercule out of there. When he returned, Goku had managed to stall Buu until the fusion wore off.

'Nice,' thought Gohan, 'now I can beat him, unless…'

Gohan thoughts were cut short when he felt something amiss behind him. He jumped out of the way, seeing more of Buu's goop trying to capture him. He backed off and got next to Goku.

"Dad, Vegeta's waiting," said Gohan, "I'll hold him off, then after you get back here with Vegeta, you'll be able to beat him then!"

"Alright, I'm going," said Goku, powering down to normal and flying off to find Vegeta.

Gohan turned to Buu.

"Well, well," said Gohan, "here we are at a crossroads. How about multiple-choice? A, I beat you to a pulp, you spit out Goten, Trunks, and Piccolo, and I kill you, or B, you spit out Goten, Trunks and Piccolo now, and I just kill you without beating you to a pulp. Sounds interesting?"

"How about C: I absorb you and go wipe Goku and Vegeta from existence!!" answered Majin Buu, bringing up his goop around Gohan.

"See you in other world," replied Gohan, as he let himself be absorbed into Majin Buu, his awareness taken away.


By the time Vegeta arrived back on Earth, Goku popped in.

"Kakarot?" asked Vegeta.

"Goku!?" wondered Baba.

"Baba, no time for explanations, get back to Other World where it's safe!" urged Goku.

"You don't need to tell me twice," replied Baba, getting out of there, "BEST OF LUCK!!"

After Baba left, Vegeta turned to Goku.

"Kakarot, I sacrificed myself once for this planet, I won't do it again," said Vegeta, powering up to Ascended Saiyan.

Goku mimicked him, if only to stop Majin Buu's next blast to destroy the Earth.

"Kakarot, you held back, didn't you?" demanded Vegeta.

"You mean you know?" asked Goku.

"Of course I do!!" counted Vegeta, "Other than Gohan telling me, I saw it for myself in Other World!! But you're not the only Super Saiyan 3 in town anymore, Kakarot. I will show you AND Buu why I am the Saiyan Prince!!"

Vegeta then powered up to Super Saiyan 3, amazing Goku and even Buu a little. Vegeta then moved as Super Speed and started pounding Majin Buu. Goku followed Vegeta's lead and also became a Super Saiyan 3 and started battling Majin Buu alongside Vegeta.

Even at Super Saiyan 3, they could only last so long against Buu until the strain got to them, considering that Goku hadn't practice all that much in a living body, nor had Vegeta in his dead body. They were soon overwhelmed and left with no choice.

"Alright, Kakarot," said Vegeta, "Throw the darn earring!!"

"Thanks Vegeta," said Goku, taking out the earring and throwing it towards Vegeta, "This means more than you know."

Vegeta placed the earring on his right ear and they were pulled together, by what seemed to be a magnetic force, and merged together. Vegito was born, and ready to fight Majin Buu. The question is, is he up for it?

(Chapter End)

I know, I know, it's so short, but the next few chapters is just mainly one long drawn out fight with convenient plot devices to lengthen the series. This was by far the worst battle saga in my opinion. You can literally sum it up in a paragraph:

Majin Buu awakens, defeats Gohan and Supreme Kai. Buu then eats Debura, and kills Babidi after fighting Goku as a Super Saiyan 3. Hercule befriends Buu while Goten and Trunks learn to fuse. Evil Buu separates and absorbs Good Buu and becomes stronger, kills every last being on Earth, minus a few, and proceeds to fight Gotenks as a Super Saiyan 3. Gohan returns, all 'Mystic' and beats Majin Buu into hiding. An hour passes in like 7 minutes and Buu absorbs Gotenks and Piccolo, the wails on Gohan for 25 minutes when Goku returns. After Buu absorbs Gohan, Goku goes to Vegeta, who reluctantly fuses with him. Vegito fights Majin Buu, then gets absorbed by him, but not fully assimilated. Vegeta and Goku separate, free the others, and save the world. However, Buu returns to his original form and destroys the Earth, along with the last few people in it besides Goku, Vegeta, Hercule, Dende, and Bee, Buu's puppy. Goku and Vegeta fight Kid Buu on Kai World when Namekian Dragon is summoned and restores the Earth to it's natural state, as well as Goku's power. Spirit Bomb destroys Kid Buu, who is later incarnated as Uub. Goku offers to train him and they leave, the end.

Like I said, one paragraph, however anti-climatic.

Sad to say, the next chapter or two will be dullsville, because I'm trying to work something out for the fights, particularly Gohan. Try and guess what it is.

Author Notes:

AN1: Reminds you of Will from Pirates of the Caribbean, doesn't it?

AN2: This is an important plot device for this fic. This will resolve… eventually.

AN3: Well, since the Son family gets a Headbutt, I thought the fusion needed an upgrade: hence Skull Bash.

AN4: Seriously, he gets all impatient to start fighting, and now that the fight has begun, he's more patient than the virtue itself? Where's the logic in that?

AN5: Gotta LOVE loopholes!! Seriously didn't think I was REALLY gonna have Fasha kiss him, did you? That's just WRONG!!!!

AN6: Well, considering Gohan2 and Oozaru are locked up, it IS just Gohan and Buu fighting.

AN7: Considering how Cell and Majin Buu died, you can understand the imagery I'm trying to set here.

AN8: Gotta love Rafiki. He is an excellent Lion King character, with even better martial arts move.

Hopefully I can get some more reviews, to help me in these depressing chapters where it's just part of one big ol' fight against one enemy no matter how many times it changes forms.

Until next time…

Later,
