Chapter 25: True Saiyans Fight Alone
"Junior! Wake up son. Come on!" He tried to shake his son awake, but he wouldn't open his eyes. Well, he did move a little. "Great, at least he's still alive." Vegeta faced the way where Buu was.
Gohan and Vegeta could only stare in confusion at the newly transformed Buu. He looks the same, but he shrunk.
"Weird. He looks the same but, he shrunk." Pointed Gohan.
"If you ask me he looks a lot weaker then before." Vegeta smirked. They kept looking at Kid Buu, who kept flexing his hands and fingers. He stopped and let out an ear-piercing scream. Gohan, Vegeta, Hercule, and Dende covered their ears from the scream as a couple of rocks shattered and pink lightning shot from the sky. Once he stopped screaming, he fired a ki blast down on Earth, attempting to destroy it. Gohan gasped as Vegeta stopped the blast by firing his own.
"He could've destroyed the earth!" Gohan shouted.
"What does he think he's doing?! Is he trying to destroy himself too?!" Vegeta grunted.
"He's planning to destroy himself then regenerate again." Gohan said. Again, Buu just stood there with no sign of any emotion on his face making Vegeta growl.
"Hey Buu! It's your business to destroy Earth, but fight us first you coward!" Vegeta yelled. Buu turned around and smirked and put his hand in the air, forming a giant pink orb. Gohan's eyes widened when he felt the energy from it.
"Vegeta! That's not for us!" Gohan stuttered. "That could blow up the planet at least ten times! We can't stop that!" Buu growled a laugh as the orb grew bigger and bigger. "Why're you doing this?! There will be nothing left! No more people to destroy! Just stop!" Gohan tried to reason with Buu, but Buu smirked and threw to ball at them. Gohan and Vegeta looked in horror as the orb drew closer and closer to the Earth. Gohan looked over to the boys and Piccolo, then turned his attention to Vegeta. "Vegeta let's grab the boys and leave."
"Great!" He and the eldest son of Goku blasted to grab the boys until Gohan completely forgot about Hercule and Dende. He growled as he tried to make a plan to save Hercule, Dende, and everybody else. With no time left, he made a decision that he'll later regret.
"Grab hold!" Gohan grabbed Hercule and Dende and flew back to Vegeta. "I can't think of anything to leave! Vegeta..." He looked back at the orb, which was about to hit Earth. He closed his eyes, waiting death to come until he sensed a new power pop out. He opened his eyes to notice Kibito Kai, trying to grab the both of them. He grabbed his hand as Vegeta grabbed hold of the back of his gi collar. They looked back at the boys, before leaving Earth before it exploded.
Supreme Kai's World
Gohan and the others safely landed on the ground in the Supreme Kai's world. Gohan could only stare at the ground, ignoring the welcomes from his dad and the Elder Kai. He let some tears escape from his eyes. 'I Could've saved them all! Junior, Goten...Damn It! It's all my fault, just like at the Cell Games. I only get to see them for a little bit before they...Am I a sin or something?' Goku looked at the expression on his son's face and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey, you tried alright? I'm sorry, but there was no way to save them." Goku frowned as he tried to comfort his son. Vegeta growled and pushed Goku out of the way and clutched the collar of Gohan's gi.
"You idiot!" Vegeta shouted.
"Vegeta! Stop it!" Goku tried to pry Vegeta off of Gohan, but the glare from Vegeta told him to back off. Vegeta turned his attention back to Gohan, who kept looking at the ground. He shook him before continuing his rant.
"You saved the buffoon and the namek but not your own little brother and son?!" Vegeta snarled. Gohan was quite yet again.
"Vegeta..." Goku was glaring at his friend/rival. Vegeta growled and ruffly let go of Gohan. Everyone was quite until Gohan finally stood up and sighed through his nose. "Are you okay, Gohan?" He slowly nodded and marched up to Vegeta.
"What do you..." His sentence was cut off when Gohan punched him in the jaw, making the Prince fall to the ground. Goku and Kibito Kai held him back as Vegeta stumbled back to his feet. "Brat..."
"Shut up!" Gohan shouted as he powered up a little. "You've only lost ONE person, I've lost THREE! I lost my little brother, mentor, and son! You've only lost your son! What else was I supposed to do?! You know what, your hands were free! YOU could have grabbed SOMEONE but NO, you
probably thought that just because you're the prince, you don't have to do stuff! Next time, try helping." After his little rant, Gohan turned around so he wouldn't face Vegeta. Surprisingly, Vegeta was left speechless, along with everyone else.
"I-I'm...S-sorry." Vegeta said quietly. Goku and Gohan looked at him with shock and confusion as their eyes widened.
"What?" Gohan and Goku asked in unison. Vegeta grunted in annoyance and rolled his eyes.
"I said I'm...sorry."
"Wow! That's a first!" Goku laughed as he put a hand behind his head. Gohan kept looking at the prince in awe. Vegeta? Apologizing?
"What? You've never heard someone apologize before?!" Vegeta snarled. Gohan chuckled as he turned back around and faced Dende, who looked sad.
"Gohan...I'm sorry." Dende apologized quietly. Gohan smiled a little and pat his hand on his friend's shoulder.
"It's okay." Dende looked up at him with the same expression on his face. Gohan smiled and walked away, to notice his dad scratching his chin in thought. He was about to ask what he was doing, until he felt Kid Buu regenerate where the Earth used to be. They growled while Hercule laughed nervously.
"The Earth is destroyed you say?!" He laughed until he noticed the serious look on everyone's face and paled.
"I can't believe we have to put up with this!" Vegeta shouted as he pointed to Mr Satan. "They're gone, and we can't wish them back. The dragonballs were destroyed along with the Earth." Gohan and Goku were silent again.
"I-I still can't believe he could even survive a blast like that." Kibito Kai stuttered as they witnessed Buu finishing his regeneration. "If he could survive an explosion like that, how are we gonna defeat him?" In space, Buu frowned when he couldn't detect Gohan or Vegeta's energy and disappeared.
"Did you see that?" Gohan asked making Goku nod.
"He's using Instant Transmission. But how could he have learned it so quickly?" Goku replied. About a minute later, Buu destroyed many planets in the universe until he found the two warriors. He didn't even care if he blew himself up, he'll just regenerate and destroy more planets. "With instant transmission, he could destroy a whole solar system in less then an hour. The universe won't be the same again."
"Hey wait! What about the dragonballs?" Dende asked, getting the attention from everyone, besides Hercule. "The new ones on Namek! Frieza destroyed our original home world, but he couldn't destroy the dragonballs! And I'm sure Elder Moori has made a new set by now." Gohan and Goku smiled while Vegeta smirked. "We can wish back the Earth and everyone else Majin Buu has killed."
"That's brilliant Dende!" Gohan cheered.
"But wait, there's a small problem:" Goku frowned. "Dende, the other nameks are too far away. I can barley sense them from where we are, which means we can't reach them with instant transmission. We need a spaceship or some sort to get there..." His sentence was cut off by Kibito Kai.
"Hold Up! I'm not sure what the dragonballs are, but I'm a Kai! My instantaneous movement is not limited by distance! We could go anywhere we want!" explained Kibito Kai. "If you guys have a plan, then I can get you where you wanna go!"
"Hold It right there.." Elder Kai took a step forward as he broke the celebration. "I'm familiar with the dragonballs..."
"You were?" Gohan asked.
"Quite boy I'm talking!" Elder Kai shouted as he shook his hand in the air, making Gohan wince slightly. "Anyway, using them in this case just isn't proper. Those balls (A/N: HA!) are part of a very peaceful race. They aren't meant to be used anywhere except on their home planet..." Goku smiled and took a step closer to the Kai.
"Aren't you being a little too strict?" Goku asked, making Elder Kai and everyone else raise an eyebrow. "After all the Earth has some very beautiful women after all, and there's one in particular, remember your reward for helping Gohan?" Gohan and Vegeta scowled at him.
"Oh, you mean that one." Elder Kai gave a perverted smile and blushed slightly.
"The One you get to kiss." Goku smiled. Elder Kai gave a perverted laugh.
"Hey Dad?" Gohan asked, trying to hide his anger towards his dad. Well, that failed. "YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT VIDEL AREN'T YOU?! HOW MANY TIMES DID I TELL YOU?! I'M NOT LETTING THAT OLD PERVERT KISS MY GIRLFRIEND!" Goku raised his hands in defense.
"No! Not Videl..."
"OH SO IT'S BULMA?!" Vegeta snarled. "YOU IDIOT HOW DARE YOU MAKE BULMA KISS THAT PERVERT?! DON'T YOU HAVE ANY SENSE AT ALL?! LET HIM KISS YOUR WOMAN!"
"NOW YOU'RE GONNA LET MY MOM KISS HIM?!" Gohan yelled at Vegeta. "YOU KNOW WHAT, LET HIM KISS BULMA!"
"Why you.." While Vegeta and Gohan were fighting with words, Goku looked at the two and imagined Trunks and Junior fighting like that. Goku chuckled at the thought until he heard a gasp from Kibito Kai.
"He just blew up another planet and he keeps regenerating!" Kibto Kai shouted. Goku looked at the crystal ball with Vegeta and Gohan. They then witnessed him teleport to the otherworld, making Goku gasp.
"Darn him! He found his way to otherworld!" Goku growled.
"Let's go get him."
"Wait! You might wanna take these." Kibito Kai handed his potara earrings to Goku and Vegeta. "These'll be a great help for defeating Majin Buu." Vegeta looked at the earring before crushing it again, along with Goku. The Kais gasped while Gohan raised an eyebrow.
"Why'd you break those dad?" Gohan asked. Goku was silent before turning to his son and smiling.
"Gohan, I want you to defeat Majin Buu...By yourself." Everyone's eyes widened, even Vegeta's. "You have power far beyond my super saiyan three form. Plus, you don't waste energy unlike me. And, your the only saiyan alive. Also, remember that when everytime a saiyan gets beaten, he grows stronger? When you died and got revived, your energy shot up like a rocket."
"That is true, but what gives him the right to defeat Buu by himself?! I should be the one to destroy him!" Vegeta shouted. Goku looked at him, keeping the same expression on his face and nodded.
"Your right. I'll let you have a shot at him Vegeta." Gohan offered.
"But Goku, Gohan's just a kid. He couldn't possibly..." Kibito Kai was interrupted by Elder Kai.
"I think you might have a point there." Elder Kai smiled. "The strength of Gohan is far more powerful then Goku's. Plus, Goku's dead! So if he defeats him, who'll mask his glory?" Kibito Kai face palmed.
"Grab on my shoulder Gohan..."
"Wait Kakarot!" Vegeta interrupted. "Why won't we just bring him here so we could get him away from all those innocent people?" Goku nodded in agreement.
"Gohan, you stay right there. Let me and Vegeta do the work for you. All we gotta do is spike our power so he could sense us." Vegeta nodded and powered up with Goku. They each shouted as their power spiked up as electricity surrounded them. The area started to shake effecting everyone but Gohan, who only squinted his eyes from the yellow aura that surrounded the full blooded saiyans. They immediately stopped when they felt Buu heading their way. Kid Buu appeared in front of them and laughed wickedly.
"He's here!" Gohan shouted as he got into a stance. Goku put a hand on his son's shoulder while he put two fingers on his forehead. "Dad, where are you going?" Goku smiled down at his son.
"I'm going to otherworld to see if everyone is alright and help clean up the mess." He replied. "But don't worry, I'll be back. The universe rests in your hands now Gohan. Make your family proud. Goodbye." With that, Goku I.T. To otherworld. Buu growled when he saw the other warrior leave but smirked when he saw the two he was focused on.
"You ready Vegeta?" Gohan asked the Prince of Saiyans. Vegeta smirked.
"As I'll ever be." Kid Buu cackled at the two and charged. Can Gohan and Vegeta stop the monster Buu? Or his Buu unstoppable? Find out In the next chapter of "Dragonball Z: A Whole New Era."
