Ichigo and Goku Fusion

Goki turned to Vegeta and Gohan, "Take Toshiro to Orihime. I'll deal with Buu."

"I'm glad that I don't have to do the fusion dance this time," Vegeta said.

"You're just jealous, Vegeta."

"Yeah, right," Vegeta shot back.

Gohan put Toshiro over his shoulder and flew down Sokyoku Hill. Vegeta flew after him.

"Deal with me?" Buu asked. "You've got a lot of nerve."

"You won't have any nerves when I'm done with you Arrancar Buu. I'm Ichigo and Goku joined as one. With our new power, we're going to kill you."

Arrancar Buu laughed, "I'm not the same Buu you fought before. Now, I'm three times as strong thanks to the people I've absorbed. You really think you're weak fusion dance can harm me?"

"We'll see."

"Indeed," Buu replied. "Let's see if you can handle the people I've absorbed. Their attacks will be very familiar."

Pink rose petals surrounded Buu, and he threw them at Goki. "Byakuya. Figures that you would pick this attack with your skin color."

Goki flew up into the air, dodging the oncoming rose petals. He turned a sharp right, avoiding Byakuya's Bankai. As the attack shot towards him, he used instant transmission, missing the explosion of pink rose petals. Goki was now standing on the hill.

"Kamehameha!" Buu yelled.

"Crap," Goki said realizing what Buu was trying to do. The kamehameha wave hit him head on, sending him crashing into the ground.

"Damn." Goki said getting up. "You've certainly gotten stronger, Buu. I'll give you that."

"Thanks for the compliment, but it's meaningless coming from an ant like you."

Goki smiled, getting in a fighting stance, "This is going to be one hell of a fight, but that's what makes it awesome."

"Your saiyan blood is getting the best of you again, Goki. Although from what Aizen said, Ichigo likes to fight as well."

"We like to fight, but we also protect our loved ones. We're never going to allow you to harm anyone again. After this battle, the world will be free from you once and for all."

"The only thing this world will be free from are saiyans and soul reapers." Buu replied. Buu held his hand out, focusing. A sword now appearing in his hands. "Dance, Sode no Shirayki!" Buu placed the zanpakuto down. "Some No Mai." Buu disappeared. "Tsuki Shrio!" Buu used the zanpakuto next to Goki, forming a cirlce of ice, trapping Goki inside.

As Goki was frozen in the tunnel of ice, he couldn't believe that Buu absorbed Rukia as well. That's probably why Buu absorbed her in the first place, to catch him off guard. He would have to make him pay for that, but for now, he needed to get out of here. This ice was a lot stronger than Rukia's attack, and if he didn't get out, he would freeze to death. He yelled, sending an explosion of energy breaking the ice.

"Kamehameha!" Buu yelled.

"Kamehameha!" Goki yelled, sending a black wave of energy at Buu. The two attacks collided, and Goki's overpowered Buus. The two attacks hit Buu, creating a massive explosion. After the dust cleared, little bits of Buu were found around the entire area. They reformed into the same disgusting Arrancar Buu.

"I guess Ichigo's hollow powers have become a part of you now. You'll certainly need them." Buu smiled.

"You're still the same old, Buu. The only reason you're this strong is because you absorb other's attacks."

"Is that any different from fusion?"

"At least with fusion we do so willingly. You take what you want by force."

"To each his own," Buu replied.

"I guess I'll have to take this up a notch to beat you."

"You'll have to take this up a few notches to beat me," Buu laughed.

"Alright. We'll give this everything we've got."

"Bankai, Tensa Zangetsu." Goki said, using his bankai. Goki yelled, turning into a super saiyan 2. Lighting surged around him. He placed his hand over his face, using hollowfication. Instead of regular lightning, black lightning danced around his aura, while a golden aura remained around him.

"Don't even think about rescuing your friends," Buu said. "I won't eat your candy this time. The only way you'll get your friends back is if you kill me."

"You bastard," he yelled. Goki thought to himself. "I'm sorry. I'll wish you back with the dragon balls."

Goki loved his new speed and power. He charged Buu, slamming his fist into his stomach. He pummeled Buu's face, sending him farther and farther back. Each time Arrancar Buu tried to block, he couldn't dodge it, or any of his attacks. Goki took his zanpakuto out, slicing Buu in half, but he quickly reformed.

Buu charged him again, but he used a black Getsuga Tensho, sending Buu flying into the ground. He sent another black Getsuga Tensho, creating a massive explosion around Buu. Arrancar Buu got up, yelling at the top of his lungs, sending Byakuya's attack at Goki, but Goki sliced all of them in half, creating several mini explosions.

"I wish I didn't have to use this, but I guess I have to," Buu said. He focused, this time, a cane appeared from Buu's hand.

"It's the old man's cane. This isn't good."

Meanwhile, Vegeta, Gohan, Orihime, and Toshiro were in the Seireitei, watching the fight from below. Orihime was still healing Toshiro's wounds.

"This battle is insane," Gohan said.

"Incredible," Toshiro said. "I've never sensed so much energy before. I wish I wasn't so weak to fight."

"That's fusion," Vegeta replied. "Goku's pure good, while Ichigo's hollow is pure evil. That's making his fusion even more powerful than normal."

"You did a great job, Toshiro." Orihime complimented. "You did your part. Now, let's let Goku and Ichigo handle this."

"I supposed you're right," Toshiro replied.

Goki watched as Buu held onto the cane that belonged to Old Man Yamamoto. "All things in the universe turn to ashes, Ryujin Jakka." Flames burst from the sword, consuming the area around him.

"Getsuga Tensho!" Goki yelled.

Buu swung Ryujin Jakka at Goki's Getsuga Tensho, and the two attacks collided. The two attacks pushed back against each other in a tug of war, but Buu's attack was more powerful. Both attacks slammed into Goki, sending him crashing into the ground. After the attack, blood dripped from his body, revealing several new injuries all over his skin. He tried getting up, but couldn't.

"I guess it's over," Buu said. "What a pity. That was the best fusion I've ever fought."

After Buu spoke, Goki split apart, revealing Ichigo and Goku. Ichigo was wearing his soul reaper uniform, while Goku was wearing his training uniform, and he was in normal form. Ichigo's bankai and hollowfication were gone.

"Darn it," Goki pounded his fist into the ground. "We were so close."

"Crap," Ichigo said.

"Like I said before, no more soul reapers or saiyans."

The cane vanished, and Buu held his hand up. He fired a pink energy blast at them. Just as the blast was about to hit, Gohan deflected the blast out of the way. Vegeta, Orihime, and Toshiro were there as well.

"Can you heal my dad and Ichigo while we hold off Arrancar Buu?" Gohan asked Orihime.

"Of course."

"Thanks," Gohan replied.

Orihime rushed to Goku and Ichigo, healing them both at the same time. Buu yawned loudly as Vegeta, Gohan, and Toshiro surrounded him.

"If even their fusion dance couldn't beat me, what makes you think you can?"

"If we're going down, it won't be without a fight," Gohan said.

"Gohan's right," Toshiro added. "I'm a captain of the 13 Court Guard Squads. It's my duty to protect."

"I don't know much about duty," Vegeta smiled. "But I plan on killing you."

One by one they began attacking Buu, and he dodged their attacks. Gohan fired a kamehameha, Vegeta fired an energy blast, and Toshiro released his shikai. However, none of the attacks even scratched him.

"I think I'm getting deja vu." Buu chuckled.

As the three continued fighting Buu, Goku and Ichigo were healed.

"Thanks, Orihime," they both said.

"Let's use our ultimate attacks against Buu," Goku said.

"I was just thinking the same thing," Ichigo replied. "Now that we're in our own bodies, we can use our attacks to their fullest potential. It was fun having your powers, Goku, but I'm glad to have Zangetsu back."

"Same here," Goku smiled. "Let's take him down."

Goku flew up into the sky, yelling. He turned into a super saiyan three.

"Bankai, Tensa Zangetsu," Ichio said. After using bankai, he used his hollowfication.

Ichigo jumped into the air.

Buu had just beaten up Gohan, Vegeta, and Toshiro, throwing them to the edge of Sokyoku Hill. He looked up at Ichigo and Goku, just as they were charging Getsuga Tenshou, and kamehameha. The two attacks fired at him, and he fired a kamehameha, but his attack was too weak. The two attakcs exploded into Super Arrancar Buu, destroying him for good this time.

Goku and Ichigo went to the ground, and Orihime healed Vegeta, Gohan, and Toshiro.

"Is it over?" Gohan asked.

"Yes it is son," Goku smiled. "You did a great job."

"Thanks, Dad."

"What do we do know?" Orihime asked.

"Wish everyone back with the dragon balls," Goku answered. "I'll take everyone to Kami's lookout."

Goku transported everyone to Kami's lookout, where Dende and Mr. Popo were waiting for them.

"Good job," Mr. Popo said.

"Thanks," Goku smiled.

"Excellent work," Dende said.

"We couldn't have done it without everyone else," Ichigo replied.

"I'm guessing you would like the dragon balls?" Dende said pointing off to the right.

"They're already gathered?" Goku asked.

"Yes, I've been watching and I had Mr. Popo collect them.

"Excellent," Goku exclaimed.

They summoned the eternal dragon, Shrenon. Orihime was scared and moved close to Ichigo.

"What is your wish?"

"I wish for everyone who was killed by Arrancar Kid Buu to be brought back to life. I also wish for Krillin to have his original body back." Goku asked.

"It will be done," Shenron said.

The dragon disappeared, and everyone was wished back. They were all on top of the lookout.

"What's this?" Kenpachi asked.

"I'm alive," Krillin jumped up and down. He then hugged 18.

Everyone was greeting each other, and thanking Ichigo and Goku for defeating Arrancar Kid Buu. Kenpachi went up to Goku.

"We'll have to fight each other sometime."

"Maybe later." Goku said.

"If you say so. I'll be back later to check."

"Is he serious?" he asked Ichigo.

"When it comes to fighting, he's always serious," Ichigo replied.

Rukia went up to Ichigo, "Thanks for saving me, again."

"You've saved me plenty of times. Don't worry about it."

"I guess this is goodbye," Ichigo shook Goku's hand.

"It was great working with you," Goku said. "We make a great team."

"We definitely do."

"We need to head back to the Soul Society," the Head Captain said in a gruff voice. "We have repairs to do."

He opened a gate back to the Soul Society, and the Soul Reapers walked back, along with Orihime. Everyone waved back to the Z-Fighters as the gate closed.

"They sure are strong," Piccolo said.

"I'm going to miss them," Goten said with a down face.

"Me too," Trunks added.

"I'm sure we can see them again sometime," Goku said. "Let's head back home."
