SSJGogeta729024: Thanks, I'm glad to see you enjoyed it. Yes, while the Garlic Jr saga was pretty bad, the Sacred Water was a good idea. I'm also glad that you approve of my last-minute decision to include Bulla, but you're right about her. The writers really had no idea about what to do with her in GT, emphasized by her lack of screen time. I also agree with your opinion on GT as a whole. I wouldn't necessarily say that I hate it, but I do agree that it's the weakest out of every series in Dragon Ball. As for that Super Dragon Ball Heroes story you mentioned, I'll have to check that out sometime.

Things were getting angsty on the Sacred World of the Kais.
Despite initially holding out, Old Kai finally relented and allowed Goku to journey to Planet Tuffle to assist Piccolo and the others without finishing his training, after Goku tried to order him to send him there, but there was still a catch.
Goku was told to lower his pants, revealing that his tail was starting to grow back, and since the only way for him to gain additional power to defeat Baby was to have his tail back, Goku had to agree, albeit reluctantly.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The battle against Baby's force was about to intensify.
Uub sent Goten crashing into Trunks with a single kick that sent both of them flying, and he glanced over into the distance and gave a small smile 'So Bulla's Ki signature is gone? I mean it's still there, but she's out cold. Nice work Pan, if only Goku were able to see how much you've grown.'
"You should be focused on the fight at hand!" Trunks blitzed in front of Uub and fired a Buster Cannon.
Uub deflected it and dealt Trunks a simple Ki blast that sent him tumbling backwards "I guess you're right. Goku was my mentore and my friend, he taught my everything that I knew so that when the day came, I could use it to make things right, and that's what I'm going to do!" he then flared his white aura, the sheer force shaking the surface of the planet as his body bulked up slightlly.
Trunks and Goten were forced to brace themselves to avoid being blown away "This is bad, his power level is incredible! Nothing compared to Lord Baby, but still incredible."
"Yeah, no kidding." Goten muttered "I knew that my father had trained him, but I never would've guessed he would grow to be this powerful."
"It doesn't matter, just because that Saiyan is gone he decides to throw a tantrum. It won't change anything in the grand scheme of things, no matter if we fall he and the others will still have to go through Gohan and Lord Baby, and that's if he's able to defeat us. At the very least, we can stall him until Gohan is through with Piccolo, and then he's as good as dead."
"You should take your own advice and focus on the fight at hand." Uub got their attention "I don't mean to sound arrogant, but I know for a fact that the two of you can't defeat me."
"Don't think you can just sound so arrogant, if you dare to defy Lord Baby then we'll kill you without hesitation!" Goten and Trunks both flashed into Super Saiyan and charged at Uub at full speed.
Uub blitzed through their attack and dealt Trunks a kick to the stomach, sending him flying into a nearby mountain.
"Don't forget about me!" Goten charged at Uub at full speed, with Trunks rebounding and joining the fray, the two of them trying to deal Uub a furious barrage of attacks.
Uub dodged, blocked and countered every punch and kick being thrown at him, but it ended when Uub slugged Goten into a nearby mountain and send Trunks tumbling away with a swift kick to the chest.
"Let's see how you like this! Ka… Me… Ha… Me… HA!" Goten fired off a full power Kamehameha.
'There's Goten, now what's Trunks-'
"You can join Goku in hell! Buster Cannon!" Trunks unleashed a Buster Cannon that synchronized with Goten's Kamehameha, the two blasts engulfing Uub in the explosion that resulted.
"KamehameHA!" when the smoke cleared, Uub revealed himself to be unharmed and fired off a full power Kamehameha of his own.
"Trunks get out of the way!" Goten hurled Trunks out of the way of the blast, only to end up taking it himself, sending him tumbling across the landscape with some noticeable burns.
'He took the blow for him without a second thought? I guess Baby's mind control can't erode their entire personalities.'
"Goten no! You're gonna pay for that you scum!" Trunks spiked his aura and promptly charged at Uub in a rage.
Uub dodged and blocked every blow that Trunks aimed at him, but then he glanced back and realized that Goten was charging at him 'So this was a diversionary tactic?'
"What the hell are you looking at?!" Trunks aimed a kick at Uub's head, only to be met with a fist to the face that sent him crashing to the ground.
Uub then proceeded to fend off a barrage of attacks from Goten, and dealt him a swift kick to the chest that sent him hurtling backwards, but then he was forced to evade a barrage of Ki blasts coming at him from his blind spot 'So they're working on trying to defeat me using a series of coordinated attacks.'
"I'm not done with you yet!" Trunks charged towards him and let a fist fly forward packed to the brim with Super Saiyan ki.
Uub spiked his aura and was able to catch the hand with ease "Your strike is impressive, I guess I shouldn't expect any less from the son of Vegeta, but that's not going to be enough for you to win against me!" he then dealt Trunks a ki-enhanced fist to the gut, causing him to cough up blood and fall out of Super Saiyan as he was sent crashing into a nearby mountain.
"Trunks no!" Goten promptly charged at Uub in a rage.
Uub stopped Goten mid-charge and try to deal him a Ki-enhanced fist to the gut.
"KamehameHA!" Goten blitzed out of the range of this attack and fired a quick Kamehameha in mid-air.
"Ka… Me… Ha… Me… HA!" Uub was quick to counter Goten's Kamehameha using one of his own, blowing clear through Goten's blast with ease and sending him crashing to the ground in a heap. With the battle supposedly over, Uub made his way over to Goten's downed form, his expression one of remorse "I'm sorry about this, I really am. I wish it didn't have to come to this, but I promise I'll make sure that you and Trunks are freed from Baby's control."
Goten gritted his teeth and pulled himself onto his knees, and he looked over to Trunks as he climbed out from within the rubble, and the two of them locked eyes 'He's a fucking beast in every sense of the word, at this rate we've only got one option left.'
"I wish it didn't have to come to this you two." Uub leapt back a short distance and cupped his hands at his side, blue Ki building between his palms "I don't want to have to hurt you two, but you've left me with no choice. I promise to make this as painless as I can. Ka… Me…"
"Come on Trunks, we've got maybe seconds at the most!" Goten and Trunks pulled themselves to their feet and got into two simultaneous stances "FU-"
"Ha… Me…"
"-SION-" they started going through different stances that reflected each other perfectlty.
"HA!" Uub finally fired a full power Super Kamehameha.
"HA!" Goten and Trunks finished the final pose and their fingers connected, only seconds before the Super Kamehameha engulfed them.
'Is it over?' Uub let out a sigh as he powered down, but then his head snapped up 'What is this incredible power level I'm sensing?!' he leapt out of the way right before a sudden blur could strike him 'So fast!'
The dust settled to reveal a figure in a Metamoran Fusion outfit, along with a head of hair that was a mix of black and purple hair, and he shot a smirk at Uub "Hey, so are you ready for the second round?"
"What is this, who are you?"
"I'm neither Goten nor Trunks, I'm a warrior created by the Metamoran Fusion Dance. I am the ultimate warrior intent on pursuing the justice of the Tuffle race! I am a proud and loyal herald to the great Lord Baby! I am Gotenks!"
"Metamoran Fusion Dance? You mean that thing Goku told me about where-"
"Where we dance like Power Rangers and become a single being with power that surpasses even the most powerful of warriors throughout the cosmos! Now I'm going to carry out the wishes of the great Lord Baby by destroying anyone who might stand in his way!" Gotenks then flashed into Super Saiyan as his golden aura spiked wildly, shaking the surface of the planet with the sheer force "Yes, this feeling is absolutely incredible! I can feel so much Ki building up inside of me, it feels like there's no limit to it!"
Uub was forced to brace himself for the shockwaves 'This is bad, his power is so massive I can't even tell if it has a limit!'
"It's been almost two decades since I've last used this power, and now it's time to see just what I'm capable of now!" Gotenks suddenly blitzed behind Uub and dealt him a sharp kick to the spine, then deflected a stray Ki blast without batting an eye, and then he followed up by quickly dealing Uub a sharp fist to the face, sending him hurtling to the ground "Now you're going to see the true extent of my power!"
Uub pulled himself back to his feet and wiped some blood from his lip 'Dammit I'm such a fool, I should've expected them to have some sort of trump card or last resort.'
"This power flowing through me, it's fucking amazing!" Gotenks's aura surged even higher than before "With this power at my disposal, you can be sure Lord Baby will reign supreme across the universe! No one in the cosmos can compete with this might!" he promptly burst forward and let a fist fly.
Uub leapt out of the way at the last second, avoiding being hit by only a few inches.
"Looks like I'll need to kick things up a notch or two, I have so much power it's easy for me to overshoot you! But I should warn you that I'm not going to miss again!" he promptly blitzed forward and buried his fist in Uub's gut, then dealt him a smash attack to the head.
Fortunately, Uub was able to block the smash attack "Your strength and speed are on an entirely different level compared to when the two of you were separate."
"That's nothing, get a load of this one!" Gotenks dealt Uub a brutal uppercut, sending him crashing to the ground a short distance away "Don't think that's all I've got going for me, I'm just getting started!" he grabbed Uub by the ankle and started swinging him around in a very wild fashion.
'This is insane, his power is unbelievable!'
"What's the matter, I thought the student of Goku would be able to handle a hell of a lot more than this!" he promptly hurled Uub into a nearby mountain "Oh hell yes, this power is more amazing than I remember!" and then he burst forward.
Uub rebouded just in time to be forced on the defensive by Gotenk's onslaught 'He's not letting up, I'm lucky to just be defending.'
"Face the facts Uub, I'm totally on fire! Buster Cannon!" he promptly fired a Buster Cannon at nearly point-blank range.
'There's no time to dodge it!' so Uub did the only thing he could, he tried to block it, but he was still engulfed in the explosion that followed. When the smoke cleared, it was revealed that he was still standing there with only a few minor wounds, but his aura had turned from white to a deep shade of crimson "Kaioken."
"So this is the famous Kaioken I've been hearing so much about, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Goku taught it to you of all people. It's about time you decided to get serious."
"I don't have anywhere near the level of control that Goku does with this technique, but I know for a fact that if I don't use everything I have then I'll end up in serious trouble."
"And it only took you until now to realize that? Well better late than never I guess, so I guess I'll just have to push it to the next level myself!" with a furious roar, Gotenks powered himself up to the next level, Super Saiyan 2, his aura crackling with electricity "I really hope you're ready for this one Uub, because now we're gonna be fighting for real!"
"I'm fully prepared for that."
"Just make sure you don't get scared and end up pissing yourself!"
"I'm fully prepared for whatever you can throw at me Gotenks."
"We'll see about that, now let's do this!" the two of them burst forward and started trading even blows, sending out various shockwaves and electrical storms across the battlefield.
Uub tried to deal Gotens a kick from behind, only for him to blitzed out of the way, with this forcing Uub to retreat a distance away and fire forward a barrage of Ki blasts.
Gotenks wasted no time in firing forward his own barrage of Ki blasts of his own, the collision cancelling them out 'Looks like that Kaioken aura isn't just for show, he's definitely more powerful than he was before.'
'This is incredible, even Goku would have a hard time keeping up with him like this.' the two of them broke off from their barrages of Ki blasts and went back to trading evenly matched series of punches and kicks.
"If you're struggling like this so much when you've got Kaioken going for you then you're clearly either running on fumes or you're just not as good as you thought you were!"
"It doesn't matter if I am Gotenks, I can't afford to lose this fight!"
"Maybe I'll just go even higher than this, how would you like to see that?!"
"Do you really think you can?"
"I think you'll find out soon enough, but there's something else I have to do fist, and that's show you why don't mess with the Tuffles!" their fists collided with such force that it sent out a massive shockwave across the planet, but then they broke away "Hey get this Uub, I've got something I think you're gonna love to see! Buster Cannon!" he fired forward a full power Buster Cannon.
"Kaioken… 3x!" Uub pushed his Kaioken as high as he could and deflected the Buster Cannon using both hands, leaving it to detonate in the upper atmosphere 'That was way too close, if it wasn't for the Kaioken then I'd be in serious trouble. The question is, how long will my body be able to hold out with it? I can't keep up Kaioken forever, and I doubt Super Saiyan will have anywhere near as much strain on Gotenks. I guess I don't have any other choice right now. Come on Gotenks, I say it's time for us to start the real fight!"
"I couldn't have said it better myself! It's a damn shame, if you didn't side with the rest of the Saiyan scum then you'd be a force to be reckoned with, but now defeating you is going to prove my usefulness to Lord Baby! Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack!" Gotenks expelled three ghosts from his mouth and sent all of them forward to attack.
Uub blitzed around the ghosts, leaving them to detonate upon crashing into each other, and he dealt Gotenks a kick to the stomach that sent him skidding backwards, despite the kick being blocked.
Gotenks stopped himself before too long "I can feel myself shaking from that one kick, it's incredible. I've never had a battle like this one before, you may side against Lord Baby, but I have to admit that fighting against someone as strong as you is exciting. I just keep getting more and more pumped as we go on!" he spiked his aura.
"I have to admit, it does feel somewhat nice to know that training with Goku for so many years finally paid off."
"And now I'm gonna rip you apart!" Gotenks pounced at Uub, only for him to suddenly blitz out of view "What the hell?!"
"I'm right here!" Uub blitzed in front of Gotenks and buried his fist in his gut, sending him hurtling back across the skies of Planet Tuffle and crashing into a nearby mountain 'I can only hope that was enough, I can tell that my Kaioken isn't going to last for too much longer. If it didn't, then I'll have to find a way to finish this quickly.'
When the mountain stopped crumbling, Gotenks pulled himself back to his feet and spat out some blood "I'm not gonna lie Uub, that blow really stung. Take my advice and savor it while you can, because it's the last blow you'll ever land!"
"I think we'll see about that soon enough. He's definitely a lot tougher than he looks, I put as much power as I could into that punch.'
"I hope you're ready Uub, because I'm about to finish this fight right now! Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack!" Gotenks fired forward a single ghost from his mouth.
"I thought it would be obvious that using the same attack again wouldn't be enough for you to win against me!" he fired a quick Kamehameha that incinerated the ghost on the spot.
"You fell for it!" Gotenks suddenly blitzed behind Uub and dealt him a sharp kick to the neck, sending him tumbling across the battlefield and literally knocking the Kaioken out of him in the process "And that's why you don't mess with the Fusion. Now that you're out of the way, the only real threat left is Piccolo, and then no one will be left to stand against Lord Baby. Now all I have to do is finish the job and send you to join Goku in the next world." he cupped his hands at his side, blue Ki building in his palms "Ka… Me… Ha… Me…"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, with the B-team…
Pan and the others looked on in horror as they watched Uub fall from afar "This is bad, Uub is a goner at this rate! I have to go help him!"
"Ms Pan no." Buu suddenly held out an arm to stop her from going "Ms Pan has to be kept safe no matter what, Buu promised this to Mr Satan."
"But-"
"Things will be safe for both of you very soon, Buu promise." then Buu turned towards his first friend, Mr Satan, and he gave a smile full of what looked like sadness "Mr Satan, Buu always like you."
Mr Satan could only blink at this "Uh, Buu what are you talking about?"
"Back when Mr Satan and Buu first met, Mr Satan attack the evil mean guy who shoot the little puppy, a good thing to do. Mr Satan will always be Buu's best friend."
"And Buu, you're my best friend too. You always have been, but where the heck is this coming from right now?"
"You always be Buu's friend, but Uub… Buu been thinking a lot about Uub too. Buu can only think about Uub alone and fighting. Buu and Mr Satan be friends forever, Buu will never forget all that Mr Satan gave him." he started to take to the air.
"Buu what are you doing?"
"Buu do what has to be done, what Mr Satan would do, so Buu do what Mr Satan taught him to do." and with one final sad wave, Buu blasted off towards the battlefield.
"Buu come back, what are you doing?!"
"I think I know gramps." Pan told him quietly "I can't say for certain, but… I think this might be the last time we see him. Buu, what are you thinking?'
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, back on the battlefield…
"Now all I have to do is finish the job and send you to join Goku in the next world." with the battle supposedly over, Gotenks promptly cupped his hands at his side, blue Ki building in his palms "Ka… Me… Ha… Me…"
'Dammit…' Uub spat out some blood and tried to pull himself up off the ground, though this was to no avail 'I can't move… I can't defend myself… Is this it?'
"How pathetic, I stand above you holding the instrument of your death in my hands, and all you can do is look scared. I thought you would be a lot better than that, someone I could actually try and test my power on. It looks like I overestimated your abilities, to think you were actually trained by Goku of all people. So here it must come to an end, the cleansing of the Tuffle people is finally about to become a reality! Time for you to meet Goku in the depths of hell where you belong! HAAAAAA!" Gotenks finally fired off a full power Super Kamehameha.
Uub braced himself for the impact, only to freeze when he saw Buu suddenly appear before him and try to absorb the blast 'What is that?' but then it turned out that Buu couldn't hold it in for too long and exploded anyway, with Uub being engulfed in the process.
Gotenks blitzed out of the column of smoke that resulted from the explosion and took a moment to stop himself from coughing "Not as graceful as I would've liked, but like Goku he's now nothing more than a small pile of ashes. I had best report back to Lord Baby and inform him that this pest has been dealt with. I can't keep him waiting for too long." so he powered back down to his base form and blasted off towards the tower 'Now all that's left is for Gohan to hurry up and take care of Piccolo, and then all threats to the new Tuffle empire will have been expunged from the universe for good.'
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, with Uub…
What Gotenks had failed to realize that was, from within the massive column of smoke that resulted from the blast, Uub was still alive, albeit just barely, having been engulfed in a pink dome of Ki "Someone saved me… but who was it… and how…?"
"Uub… Uub…" a certain voice echoed from within the pink sphere of Ki.
"Whose voice is that? Are you the one that saved me from Gotenks?"
"Yes…" and then a silhouette of Buu suddenly appeared before him "I am Buu…"
"Are you… I don't know… what it is, but… somehow… I feel as if… you and I… we've met before… I have memories of you… but what…"
"Long ago, Buu and Uub were one in the same. This Majin Buu brought all of his energies together, and then a good Buu was created. It was you Uub, born of the good inside."
"You mean you and I… we were born from the same being…? Really?"
"That's right. But now it's time for Buu and Uub to be one again. All of Buu's power combined with all of Uub's power." the silhouette of Buu faded away, and the scattered remains of him started clumping together onto Uub's body, engulfing him in a white light.
When the smoke cleared, the light subsided to reveal Uub, fully healed and with a new attire to go with his new power, the same vest and white pants that Buu had worn, although without the cape, and he took a moment to get a grip on his new power "What… What happened? What did you do to me?"
"It happened. Buu and Uub have become one again. Now we're Majuub."
"I… I can feel it! I'm so much more powerful than I ever thought possible!" Uub, now going to be referred to as Majuub, spiked his white aura "Thank you Buu, I owe you my life. Now come on, I think we have some unifinished business to attend to." and so he blasted off across the skies of Planet Tuffle, intent on finishing what he had begun.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Things were slow going on the Sacred World of the Kais, as Goku continued his attempts to regrow his tail, which had already begun to emerge, but it still had a long way to go before it would be completed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, back on Planet Tuffle…
Gotenks continued blasting across the skies of Planet Tuffle, only to stop in mid-air when he sensed something hurtling towards him 'This power, it's so incredible and yet I've never sensed it before, yet it somehow feels so familiar. Don't tell me…'
This was when Majuub screeched to a halt in front of him, his eyes blazing with nothing but pure determination "Hey there, did you miss me?"
"I didn't think that you survived, I guess you're luckier than I gave you credit for." Gotenks then flashed right back into Super Saiyan 2.
"Luck doesn't have anything to do with it Gotenks, and there's no way that you're going to get rid of me anytime soon."
"Something does seem different I'll give you that, but if you think you've got a chance in hell of beating me, let alone Lord Baby, then you're in for a rude awaknieng. But if that's what you want then I won't object, just keep in mind that you asked for this so you have no one to blame but yourself! Die Die Missile Barrage!" he fired off a swift barrage of Ki blasts.
Majuub didn't have to do anything more than spike his milky white aura, and that was enough to dissipate the Ki blasts in an instant "I'll be sure to keep that in mind, thank you for giving me that little heads up."
'What the hell, that's impossible! That was luck, just blind stupid luck you hear me?! And I get guarantee you won't be so lucky this time around, not when I sent these bad boys right through your skull! Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack!" he expelled 7 ghosts from his mouth and sent them forward.
Majuub simply formed two Ki blades in his hand, and with a few swift movements he cut through each ghost with ease and let them detonate harmlessly.
"What the- How the fuck did you do that?!"
"It might sound strange, but I feel as if I've regained a part of myself that I never even knew was missing, but now that it's back… I feel like I'm a different person."
"What the hell are you talking about, what's this power?!"
Majuub didn't answer him, he just leapt back on top of a plateau and let out a primal roar as he spiked his aura, the force nearly blowing Gotenks clean off of his feet "You need to face the facts here Gotenks, not only are you fighting on the wrong side, but now that I've gained his new power and sense of who I am and what my purpose is, you just don't have a chance of defeating me anymore."
"Yeah well, I'll believe that when it actually happens! I've gotta admit though, it looks like you're sure as hell cooking now! I can feel the power your body is putting out from all the way down here! I don't know what this whole "sense of self" load of crap is about Uub, and frankly I don't care."
"I think that now that I'm like this, you should call me Majuub. It only makes sense."
"Yeah yeah, whatever you need to tell yourself. I've gotta give you credit though, you do make that look work, but on the other hand…" Gotenks floated up to meet Majuub at eye level, and with a furious roar he ascended to his highest level: Super Saiyan 3 "I don't care how much you try and power up, I won't be outdone by the likes of you or anyone! I'll just have to go ahead and up my own game too!" he let out a surge of power, blowing away entire mountains from the surrounding area "Yes! My power just keeps rising, it's totally out of this world! I have to admit, it's a real privelage to be able to serve the Tuffles if it means having power like this! Go ahead and power up more, I fucking dare you! It doesn't how much you power up, I'll push myself to those heights and leave you in the fucking dust!"
'His power is incredible, his power might even surpass Baby now. but for some reason I don't feel scared or even nervous. If anything I feel kind of excited, excited to see how far this new power will take me. I guess Goku has rubbed off on me more than I realized.
"I can't get over how awesome this feels, I've got so much power coursing through my veins that I bet if I wanted, I could rip this entire galaxy apart with a single blast!"
"We'll see soon enough won't we?" Majuub's aura subsided as he slowly dropped into a combat stance identical to that of Goku.
"What, you're done already? You sure you don't want to try and power up more?"
"I'm fine for now, I think this is all the power that I need."
"You sure about that? Alright if you say so, but you're gonne regret it when I rip you apart piece by piece! Galactic Donut!" Gotenks hurled himself forward and fired forward a yellow ring of Ki.
Majuub ducked underneath the Galactic Donut and dealt Gotenks a swift kick to the gut, sending him hurtling into the air and causing the Galatic Donut to evaporate.
"Hey what the fuck was that, dodging like that is for a pathetic Saiyan!" Gotenks rebounded and aimed a kick at the back of Majuub's head.
Majuub simply ducked to avoid the kick and went on to avoid a rapid barrage of punches and kicks that followed 'This seems surreal, I can see every attack he's throwing so clearly.'
"Are you trying to make a fool out of me?!"
"You're doing that to yourself by siding with Baby."
"Shut up! Die Die Missile Barrage!" Gotenks started blitzing around and firing a Die Die Missile Barrage from numerous directions.
Majuub dodged and weaved his way around every single blast with ease, sliding down the side of the plateau he was on as he did so and digging his ankles into the rock as he ducked to avoid a few more blasts.
Gotenks soared down to meet him at eye level, only to be sent flying away across the skies by a sudden shockwave and crashing through several plateaus, but then he quickly rebounded and landed on top of a plateau, where he barked out an arrogant laugh "You didn't really think that would hurt me did you? Your speed and reflexes have gotten a lot better sure, but your attacks as you are now lack the necessary punch to get the job done. Come on Majuub or whatever the hell I'm supposed to call you, don't disappoint me now. I figured you'd be able to do a lot better than that."
"Actually yeah, I can do much better than that now that I'm finally starting to get a grip on this newfound power of mine. Why don't I show you that firsthand?" his white aura spiked once again.
"Well it does look like you've turned it up another notch, but you still haven't shown me you can use this upgrade of yours to pack a decent enough punch. What, do you think this power up is supposed to scare me? All it really does is make me want to rip you apart, so you'd better prepare yourself."
"I'm fully prepared for this, so you'd better be ready yourself." on that note, Majuub suddenly blitzed behind Gotenks and started dealing him a rapid barrage of punches, and then he followed up with a kick that sent him crashing to the ground.
"There's no way that-" Gotenks rebounded just in time to block another strike from Majuub, the force creating a large shockwave.
"What's the matter Gotenks, is that all you've got for me?" he blitzed around another attack and dealt Gotenks a solid kick to the spine that sent him crashing through several plateaus, and he fired off a Full Power Energy Wave that sent Gotenks flying even further back and crashing into a mountain.
"DAMMIT!" Gotenks let out a surge of power in his rage that shattered the mountain that he had been buried in.
'He's still standing even after all of that, his durability is a lot greater than I was expecting it to be. Still though, from what Goku told me Fusion wears off after a maximum of 30 minutes, and it decreases depending on how much power is used. Either his Fusion time gives out, his strength does or my strength does. The question is, which one will happen first?' he spiked his aura one last time "I hope you're ready Gotenks, because I'm going to finish this right now!"
"You son of a… No way in hell that's happening, I'm nowhere near through yet!" with his rage pushing him forward, Gotenks's aura spiked even higher, the electricity surging around his body wildly.
'His power is increasing to an entirely different level, that means that he's starting to make his last stand.'
"If that's what you want then fine, I'm gonna throw every ounce of power I've got into this next attack!" Gotenks's golden aura surged even higher, releasing a barrage of laser-like beams made of his Ki in every direction, the sheer power cutting through through several of the surrounding mountains and carving into the ground.
'So now he's resorting to this, now Gotenks's energy is radiating outwards in every possible direction as highly concentrated laser beams, as if he's trying out some last resort tactic against me. I guess my new power drove him to think that he either had to win now or risk losing against me altogether, he must have found and even greater level of power than Super Saiyan 3. There is no such conquering weapon as the necessity of conquering. Either way he's releasing it like some sort of fight or flight response, this could turn out to be a problem if I'm not careful.'
"Now I'll see you in hell!" Gotenks fired forward a massive barrage of Ki blasts infused with some sort of crimson electricity.
Majuub blitzed forward and dodged every laser being fired at him, though a few of them ended up grazing his elbow and cutting off a few strands of his hair 'This isn't good, if one of those rays hits me head on then it could be the end for me. He's putting out so much energy though, is he planning to burn through all that he's got left to take me down? Either way I shouldn't let this drag out, I'd better end this with one attack.' he leapt back onto the side of a mountain to dodge another laser, purple and pink Ki building in between his palms "Ka…" he dodged another laser and landed on a piece of rubble "Me…" he dodged more lasers by rebounding off of different pieces of rubble "Ha…"
Gotenks suddenly fired off a Die Die Missile Barrage in every direction.
Majuub blitzed through the attack and barely managed to avoid being hit "Me…"
"You're a quick little bastard I have to give you that much, but there's no way you can dodge in mid-air!" Gotenkts formed a Ki blast in each hand, one blue and one gold, and then cupped his hands at his side to combine them into one massive attack "Game over Uub, now you're through and I WIN! Final… KAMEHAMEHA!" with all the power he could, Gotenks fired forward a Final Kamehameha, pouring every ounce of Ki he had left into it.
'Now's my chance!' being sure to time it just right, Majuub used one foot to kick himself into the air, then used the blast he was charging to grind up the Final Kamehameha like it was some sort of wheel until he was right in front of Gotenks and held up the blast "I'm ending this right here and right now! HAAAAAAA!" and with that, Majuub promptly fired a full power Majin Kamehameha at Gotenks at point-blank range.
Gotenks could only scream in agony as he was sent hurtling into the air by the blast, resulting in a massive explosion that shook the entire surface of the planet. When the blast finally subsided and everything settled back down to an extent, and the forms of Goten and Trunks, both of them unconscious and heavily wounded, and they both hit the ground with a thud.
With the battle finally over, Majuub let out a sigh as he powered down and made his way over to where Goten and Trunks lay and slung both of them over his shoulder "I'm sorry I had to be so rough with you two, but I promise I'll get both of you fixed up right away." and so he blasted off still holding onto them.

Pan's head snapped up at what she was sensing "Well that ended pretty fast."
"What do you mean?" asked Mr Satan "What's going on down there?"
"Well I can tell that Buu's Ki disappeared, Uub's changed somehow, and from what I can tell he was able to beat Trunks and Uncle Goten."
"But what about Buu?"
"I can answer that." this was when Majuub blitzed onto the scene with Trunks and Goten still slung over his shoulders, and he gently set them down on the ground "They should be okay, but for now they need the Sacred Water."
"I-I'm on it." so Mr Satan promptly gave both Trunks and Goten each a small amount of the Sacred Water, which caused them to groan in agony as the evil energy was cleansed from their bodies, and once it was done he looked up at Majuub "So, about Buu…"
"He showed up on the scene and saved me from that blast, but he got blown to pieces because of it. It felt strange, I felt as if he and I had met before. Buu told me that he and I were one in the same, and that it was time to become one again. The next thing I knew, our bodies had merged together, and now I'm like this."
"Oh… I see…" Mr Satan's face fell.
"Buu is a part of me now, and I promise that his sacrifice will never be forgotten." Majuub gave him a reassuring smile, but then his expression turned deadly serious "But this isn't over yet, not by a long shot."
"We still have to turn Papa back to normal." Pan noted, her tone somewhat grin "And before that we have to wait for Piccolo to defeat him, if he can."
"Have some faith Pan, Piccolo is far stronger than anyone gives him credit for. If there's anyone who can snap Gohan out of it, it's him. All we have to do is wait for that to happen, and then we take the fight to Baby himself."
"You think we'll be able to defeat him on our own?"
"We'll be damned if we don't try, but either way we can't expect Goku to swoop in and save us like he's done for all of you before."

The battle was long and hard, but in the end, Uub, the student of Son Goku was able to stand triumphant over the fusion of Gotenks, though it did not come without some sacrifice being necessary for his victory. However, despite this great victory, there is no rest for the weary given the situation. Three of Baby's heralds are down for the count, and now it is up to Piccolo to stand tall and bring Gohan down. Will he prevail? Find out next time on Dragon Ball GT: Piccolo's Counterattack!
A/N:
A second missed opportunity that GT missed out on, one that was actually teased at but never happened, was the apperance of adult Gotenks, and this time I'm going to be having him fight Uub, who then fuses with Buu to become Majuub in order to combat Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks' power. I'll be honest with all of you, I've never been a fan of the Fat Buu, like at all. Even in Z, I mostly found him annonying, although I did like his friendship with Mr Satan. His treatment in Super doesn't help to change my opinion, and that's part of why I decided to keep in his merge with Uub from canon, which I believe was supposed to wrap up his character arc, and I think it do so rather well.
As a little sidenote, yes I decided to have Uub know the Kaioken, but he can only push it about as far as 3x. Keep in mind that he did spend about five years training with Goku, so I wouldn't be surprised if he know it. Of course, it wasn't enough to compete with Gotenks as a Super Saiyan 2, which led to him fusing with Buu to become Majuub. Also, if Vegito could use a Final Kamehameha then I don't see any reason as to why Gotenks shouldn't be able to as well, and I think it made for one hell of an exciting climax to this chapter.
