Chapter 12: Dooms Day!
Junior was enjoying a rest, until he heard a voice in his head, which woke him up.
"And one last reminder," hissed Babidi as he talked to everyone on Earth. "It's him," A picture of Piccolo popped up. "Him," A picture of Junior popped up. "Him," a picture of Goten popped up. "Him," a picture of Taro popped up. "And him." A picture of Trunks popped up. "You all have five days to find these cowards. And if it takes too long, I'll have Buu annihilate you all. Ta-ta." With that, Babidi's voice faded away.
"Hey you guys, wake up!" Junior shook them, but they wouldn't wake up. "Alright. Suit yourself." He jumped on the bed, waking the three children.
"S-stop i-it J-unior!" Trunks shouted while being bounced up and down.
"Have some fun Trunks." Goten jumped on the bed with Junior.
"Hey Babidi!" Junior shouted through a mind link.
"Listen you little brat! You better show yourself!" Babidi hissed.
"You can't find us you ugly lizard!" Junior's voice faded away as Babidi growled.
"Who're you talking to Junior?" Goten asked while Trunks and Taro jumped off the bed.
"No one. Come on, I'm hungry!" Junior walked away with Goten behind his trail.
"Should we follow them?" Trunks asked to Taro.
"Nah. Let'em get in trouble." Taro replied.
Junior and Goten opened a large door and peeked outside. Junior knew that they were on the lookout, but Goten has never been here.
"Well, we're on the lookout." Junior said.
"The what?" Goten asked in confusion. Junior didn't reply and walked away. Elsewhere, Mr Popo checked on Taro and Trunks, and noticed that Goten and Junior were gone.
"Where have those boys gone to?" Mr Popo asked.
"I don't know. They just walked away." Trunks replied as Taro nodded.
Otherworld
Gohan woke up and noticed Shin and Kibito looking over him.
"Shin! You're alright! And, where am I?" Gohan asked. He took a look around him, it looked like Earth but only mountains, nice blue sky and purplish grass.
"You're in the planet of Kais." Shin replied.
"So, i'm not dead?" Gohan asked. Kibito and Shin looked at each other and sighed.
"Sorry to tell you this Gohan, but...you're dead." Kibito pointed to the halo over Gohan's head.
"I'm DEAD?!"
The Lookout
"Look at all this food!" Goten and Junior drooled when they witnessed all the food in front of them. "Too bad Trunks and Taro aren't here."
"Which means more for us." Junior replied. They both sat and started to eat like a saiyan.
"This food is really good." Goten said with food in his mouth.
"Goten, it's rude to talk with food in your mouth." Junior replied with food in his mouth. They both laughed.
"I see you found the food." Mr Popo picked Junior up from his collar.
"Hey! Put me down Popo! Goten, a little help?!" Junior wailed, trying to escape Popo's grasp. Goten was too busy eating.
"Hold on Junior, be quiet till I finish my meal." Goten replied while blowing on his soup. "You said it's bad manners."
"Bad manners?! I'll show you bad manners!" Junior turned super saiyan. Mr Popo, Goten, and all the food blew away.
"My My, Not even Goku was that powerful when he was a child." Mr Popo said while getting up.
"Hey, let's run."
"Okay." Goten turned super and followed Junior, escaping from Mr Popo. Mr Popo then grabbed their ankles.
"You know what to do!" Junior shouted as Goten nodded.
"Runaway Sons!" Goten and Junior blasted off through the door, while dragging Mr Popo. He let go and Goten was the first to attack. Mr Popo dodged all his punches. From the corner of his eye, he saw Junior flying. He teleported and appeared in front of Junior. Junior punched and kicked Popo, who blocked them all. Junior went for a powerful kick. It connected and sent Popo tumbling to the tiles.
"You two! Stay right there!" Junior and Goten turned around and saw Goku, Trunks, and Taro.
"Dad/Grandad!" Goten and Junior cheered.
"Those boys have a lot of energy Goku." Mr Popo admitted while getting back up.
"Well, I guess I have to get them to work it off." Goku replied while smirking.
"By teaching them the fusion technique." Mr Popo finished.
"But we already know the fusion technique!" complained Taro and Junior. They both covered their mouths, forgetting to keep it a secret.
"I know, I saw you guys do it at the tournament." Goku replied. "That's why you guys are my demonstration."
"Demonstration?" Junior and Taro asked in confusion. Goku nodded.
"WHAT?! NO that can't be! That could never happen to my dad!" Trunks cried.
"MY DAD?! NO! HE'S NOT DEAD! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT!" Junior also cried.
"My Brother's not dead!" Goten cried.
"Stop that! We don't have time for that! We have a lot of work to do and you have to learn new skills fast! You got it?!" Goku replied, being very serious. The three children sniffled. They slowly turned to face Goku, tears still falling from their faces. "I know it's harsh, but Babidi might have a chance to find this place. So, I want all four of you to practice right away."
"What about the hyperbolic time chamber?" Piccolo asked.
"No, that room could only be used twice in a lifetime. I'm sure in the future we might have to use it again." Goku replied.
"We'll be just fine." Taro said as Goku nodded In agreement.
"If I'm right about these two, they'll master the fusion technique in no time." Goku smiled. "And you two are gonna be their teachers."
"Let's hope they'll listen to us." Taro replied.
"Now let's begin." Goku turned serious again. Goten, Junior, and Trunks dried the tears off their cheeks and eyes. "You'll have to learn this quick too Piccolo." Piccolo nodded.
"Good luck, you guys." Krillin said In a distance. Junior, Trunks, and Goten looked like they were gonna cry again.
"Hey! I said stop that!" Goku ordered. "You will have to be tough to stop Majin Buu!" The three of them stopped sobbing and looked up. No signs of sadness or tears.
"Now remember, even if the fusion is successful, it will only last for thirty minutes." Taro explained. "Once that time's up, your bodies will separate and you'll return to your old selves." Junior, Goten, and Trunks kept glaring at Goku, but he didn't notice them.
"Bahh! Thirty minutes isn't long enough." Piccolo replied.
"Actually it is. If they do the fusion correctly, an half an hour will take down Majin Buu." Goku said. He faced the boys, who kept glaring at him. "What's wrong?"
"Listen, we wanna know, you're supposed to be the strongest guy in the universe right? So, why weren't you there? Why weren't you there to save Gohan or my dad." Trunks replied. Goku was silent.
"I'm sorry Trunks." Goku replied.
"What? You're sorry?! You could've helped! 'I'm Sorry' isn't gonna bring back my dad!" Trunks shouted.
"My Dad told us that you could do anything." Junior said as Goten nodded in agreement. "So why didn't you save him from that Buu monster?!" Goku was speechless.
"Don't just stand there, say something!" Piccolo shouted to Goku.
"What can I say?" Goku asked, Slightly nervous. "Look, I wish I was the strongest guy in the universe, then I could've helped."
"Then who is the strongest in the universe?!" demanded Junior. His question was unanswered when Babidi spoke again.
"Your attention please!" laughed Babidi. "It's me again! The great wizard Babidi, along with my fateful counterpart, Majin Buu." He then laughed wickedly as Majin Buu picked up everyone in the city, using his energy. He then turned everyone into chocolate as Goten, Trunks, Junior, and Taro screamed in horror and rage. Buu then shot a blast at the city, destroying it.
"Hey jackass! Can ya hear me?!" Junior shouted. "This is Junior!"
"I'm Trunks!"
"I'm Taro!"
"And I'm Goten!"
"So, the four of you finally decided to find some courage." Babidi laughed.
"No! We've decided to find you and kick you and your fat blob's ass!" Junior replied.
"Junior! Stop talking to him!" Piccolo ordered. "Or he'll find us!"
"I think it's time we got started. What'd ya say?" Goku didn't need to ask. The four children nodded. Can they defeat Buu and avenge Gohan and Vegeta? Or will Buu kill them all? Find out on Chapter 13 in "Dragon Ball Z: A Whole New Era"!
