Ch.26

Arrancar Kid Buu

Arrancar Kid Buu appeared on top of Sokyoku Hill, still pounding on chest, making chimp like noises. One by one, people in the Seireitei took notice of him. Alarms were going off through the Soul Society, and the 13 Court Guard Squads were organizing. Hell Butterflies were being sent from captain to captain, warning about the incoming threat.

The Z Fighters and Captains were gathering in the middle of the Seireitei. Everyone had been healed from previous fights by Orihime, and the Captain's who had their energy drained had their powers restored by Kibito Kai.

"That awful spiritual pressure. What is that thing?" Orihime said nervously.

"That's Kid Buu," Gohan said. "But he looks different."

"And he's even stronger than the original," Piccolo grunted.

"The last Buu was bad enough," Krillin said frightened, holding onto 18.

"The original?" Toshiro asked.

"We fought that monster a few years ago, but somehow he's transformed."

"Into an Arrancar," Captain Mayuri observed. "Look, he's got a mask and a hole in his chest. I hope we can experiment on him."

"Experiment on him?" Vegeta said, shaking in anger. "I want to kill that ugly bastard."

"Maybe just a small sample?" Mayuri asked.

"Enough with the talk guys," Shunsui said. "We need to figure out a way to kill him so we can protect the Soul Society, and the World of the Living."

"Just leave everything to me," Vegeta said. "I've got this covered."

"If I remember correctly, you didn't do so well the last time," Krillin mentioned.

"Shut up," Vegeta replied.

Just then, the lieutenants of the 13 Court Guard Squads arrived.

"We're here. What would you like us to do Captains?" Renji asked.

Goku's POV

Kibito Kai and Old Kai were looking through the crystal ball on their planet, while Ichigo and Goku were training.

"Oh dear," Kibito Kai yelled. "This is really bad."

"You think?" Old Kai shouted back.

Ichigo and Goku stopped training, and walked over to them.

"What's up?" Ichigo asked.

"That's what's up." Old Kai replied.

"Buu. I thought I destroyed him."

"You did Goku," Kibito Kai replied. "This Buu is a new form."

"Looks like a hollow," Ichigo added. "Must be one of Aizen's creations."

"Well, I'll go and defeat him. I killed Buu last time."

"Can't you sense his power?" Old Kai said. "He's two times stronger than the Buu you killed. Ichigo has only mastered Super Saiyan 2, and that won't do anything against him. Not even Super Saiyan 3 would, and Ichigo doesn't have enough time to train for that."

"Darn it. What are we supposed to do?"

"I got it," Kibito Kai said. "Fusion."

"Fusion?" Ichigo asked confused.

"It's where we merge our bodies together, and we gain each other's strength."

"Sounds good. How do we learn it?" Ichigo asked.

"Allow Kibito Kai and me to explain."

Kibito Kai and Goku performed the dance move to Ichigo.

"Really?" Ichigo asked. "I have to learn how to do that?"

"Do you want to defeat him or not?"

"I guess. I just wish I didn't have to learn that stupid dance."

"It's a technique, not a dance."

"Whatever," Ichigo replied. "Let's just get on with it."

Ichigo and Goku were practicing fusion while Kibito Kai and Old Kai were staring into the crystal ball.

"I just hope they have enough time," Kibito Kai said.

Soul Society POV

A red beam of light appeared from Kid Buu's antenna.

"It's forming like a cero," Ukitake said.

"Uh, oh." Shunsui added.

The red beam of light dispersed throughout the Soul Society, turning into millions of smaller beams of light. The energy attack killed everyone in the Soul Society besides the 13 Court Guards and the Z Warriors who had the ability to dodge it.

"This has gone on long enough," Gohan said. "I know that we're supposed to fight battles together, but this threat is too much for any one of us. We have to put away our pride and attack him as as one."

One by one the Soul Reapers began nodding, and showing smiles. In unison, the Soul Reapers surrounded Arrancar Kid Buu using flash step, while the Z fighters flew. Krillin stayed down to protect Orihime who was was using her shield. Arrancar Kid Buu smiled as the Soul Reapers and Z-Fighters surrounded him on top of the hill.

"A hole in your stomach," Vegeta laughed. "That suits you perfectly."

Buu frowned, getting in a fighting stance.

"Don't do anything to instigate him," Toshiro warned.

"You really don't know Vegeta, do you?" Gohan asked.

"Let's give this everything we've got," Rukia said.

Gohan and Goten shouted simultaneously, "Kamehameha!"

18, Trunks, and Piccolo started firing energy blasts.

Byakuya, "Bankai, Senbonzakura, Kageyoshi." Two rows of swords appeared next to Kid Buu. "Daiguren Hyourinmaru!" Two wings of ice appeared around Toshiro as he fired a blast of ice. Tsugi no Mai. Hakuren!" Rukia released her shikai, shooting a blast of ice. Momo fired several kido blasts.

Kenpachi laughed, "All of this working together isn't my style. I'll just wait until everyone uses their attacks and cut him up."

Vegeta turned into a Super Saiyan Two, flying up into the air. "Final Flash!" holding up his two hands in the air, he formed a big blast of energy, firing it into the other energy attacks. One by one all of the attacks exploded into Kid Buu, creating a massive shock wave, which even had the captains bracing for it.

Once the smoke cleared, Arrancar Kid Buu was gone.

"Is it over?" Renji asked.

Yelling could be heard coming from among the crowd. A pink blob had just absorbed Goten, Byakuya, Rukia, and Old Man Yamamoto. Arrancar Kid Buu yelled above them, hovering in the air. The pink blobs of skin absorbed into himself, and he was now wearing a captain's coat.

"Same old tricks, isn't that right Buu?" Piccolo asked, clenching his fists.

"Damn him! What did he do?" Renji screamed.

"That's one of his powers," Gohan answered. "He has the power to absorb entire people into his body and take their abilities."

"That means he's far stronger than the Head Captain used to be," Shuhei said. "That's great."

Arrancar Kid Buu now transformed into the exact form of Super Buu, except with his captain's coat, plus the hole and mask were on him. Buu laughed hysterically as he let the power flow within him.

"I'm even stronger than I was when I fought Super Vegito. This power feels incredible! I'll have to thank Aizen later."

"I'm sick of listening to you talk." Kenpachi said. He jumped in the air towards Buu. With one punch, Buu punched a hole through Kenpachi's stomach, sending him falling to the ground. Buu shot an energy blast, destroying Kenpachi's body.

"You're probably wondering how I escaped," Arrancar Kid Buu said. "Well, I still have Goku's instant transmission. While you were all so confident about your abilities, I slipped away without you even knowing."

"You're probably wondering why I took the bodies I did. As you already know, all of you are very strong. However, there are reasons I picked these powers. I had enough fuss with the fusion technique before, so I absorbed Goten to prevent it. I picked your Head Captain because he was the strongest out of your group. I know that Ichigo is connected to Rukia, so I picked her so he could despair at her loss. Byakuya I picked because I like his abilities. You only had a slim chance before, and now, you have no chance at all."

"I'll kill you for absorbing Goten," Trunks yelled.

"Not so tough with your fusion, eh?" Buu asked sarcastically.

"Shut up!" Trunks yelled turning into a Super Saiyan. He flew up into the sky, trying to punch Super Arrancar Buu. Buu yawned, dodging each punch. Piccolo flew up into the sky, punching him as well, but he couldn't land a single blow. Buu punched a hole through Trunk's heart, and sliced Piccolo's head off with his hand.

"I remember from last time that you could regenerate as long as it wasn't your head. So, I've taken care of that problem. It's amazing what you can learn from your mistakes. Isn't that right Vegeta?"

"This is getting bad," Shunsui said.

"Yeah," Ukitake replied. "How are we going to stop him?"

"Like we have everyone else," Shunsui said. "We keep fighting."

"Sounds good to me," Ukitake replied.

Arrancar Kid Buu hovered to the ground. One by one the captains, lieutenants, and Z-Fighters charged Super Arrancar Buu. No matter how much they fought, Buu outmatched each and everyone of them. Renji threw his bankai, but Buu blocked it with one hand, shooting a blast of pink petals with the other, sending Renji to the ground.

"Killed by your own captain's attack. How ironic? All of this fighting is so much fun!"

Komamura, Soi Fon, Ukitake, and 18 went down next. All of them dead.

"No!" Krillin yelled from the side. He joined the fight but was instantly killed by Buu.

"Your Head Captain is so disappointed in you guys. He trained you to become Captains, and half of you guys are dead. How pathetic."

"Don't listen to him," Gohan said. "He uses your loved ones against you to keep you from fighting. Don't fall into his trap."

"You've wizened up from last time, Gohan," Buu chuckled. "Too bad this will be your last time to learn from your mistakes. I'm going to destroy everything this time, and there's nothing you can do to stop me. I will destroy Other World, Earth, and Hell. I'm going to destroy the entire universe."

"I think I'll pass on experimenting on him," Mayuri said. "He's too scary, even for my tastes."

"What's going to be there for you when you've accomplished your goal?" Toshiro asked. "What will you do when it's finally over?"

"All the fun in the world. Before I destroy everything, I'm going to collect the Dragon Balls and wish that the entire universe will get brought back when I'm done. That way, I can keep destroying for all eternity"

Everyone charged Buu again, and he began killing more and more Captains. One by one they were killed by Buu, and now, only the Lieutenants, plus Gohan and Vegeta remained. Toshiro charged shooting another blast of ice, while Buu countered with a blast of flames from the Head Captain's shikai. The flames shot a hole through Toshiro's stomach, sending him to the ground. Gohan rushed over to him, and found him barely breathing.

"Why are you keeping us alive?" Lieutenant Omaeda asked as he looked at Soi Fon's Body. "You killed the Captains, but you could have killed us easily."

"Good observation. I want you to truly realize your despair. I took out the Head Captain to frighten the Captains. Next, I took out the Captains to terrify you Lieutenants. As I can see, my plan as worked. Time to kill all of you!"

"You bastard!" Lieutenant Omaeda yelled.

One by one the survivors came at him, but they were no challenge for Super Arrancar Buu. The Lieutenants were now lying on the ground. The only ones remaining were Vegeta, and Gohan. They stood still, not sure of what to do. Before was different when they had a slim chance, but now they had none.

"Any last words?"

Vegeta and Gohan said nothing.

"Speechless? I can understand that. How about dying from the Kamehameha? Gohan, that means dying from the attack that your father taught you. Vegeta, that means dying from the attack from your rival, hurting your precious pride." Buu laughed as he charged the Kamehameha.

Just as they thought they were going to die, the Kamehameha was diverted into another direction. Standing in front of them was someone in a soul reaper's uniform. On his back was Zangetsu, Ichigo's zanpakuto.

"Dad?"

"No son, my name is Goki. Sit back, everything's going to be all right. I'm going to take care of this trash."

Goki had Ichigo's build with Goku's hair.

"What's going on? Goku, is that you?" Super Arrancar Buu asked.

"Nope," Goki said. "My name is Goki. Ichigo and Goku joined as one, and we're going to kill you."
