Chapter 55: The Seal Is Broken– Buu Returns!
Last Time our heroes began preparation for their battles with Buu, each in their own way. First, Goten and Trunks were sent into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train a year to increase the power of their fusion Gotenks.
Second, Jason builds up his Ki reserves so as to fully utilize the power of Super Saiyan 4 while the others prepare their minds. Last but not least, Gohan, who is unknown to the others still alive on the Supreme Kai's planet, free's an ancient Kai from the Z Sword.
As thanks for freeing him and to help them stop Buu, Elder Kai promises to use his magic to increase Gohan's power to unprecedented levels. However, the process will take up more than a day to complete!
Will Gohan be able to join the fight in time? Can our heroes be strong enough to defeat the three Buus? Or will the monstrous creature reign supreme? Find out now!
Supreme Kai Planet…
Gohan sat impatiently in front of Elder Kai as the Supreme Kai of Old continued with this "Ritual" to bring out his latent power. However, Gohan was becoming increasingly skeptical that it was going to work at all.
They had been sitting across from one another for hours after Elder Kai finished circling the Half Saiyan with an odd dance. During that time, Elder Kai had been in and out of sleep, and currently, he was reading a magazine with his arms stretched out towards Gohan.
"Um, Elder Kai, sir," Gohan called, getting the Kai's attention.
"Yes?" Elder Kai replied.
"Does this actually work?" Gohan inquired.
"Of course, just be patient." Elder Kai answered as he turned his attention back to his magazine.
"It's just that it's been hours, and I don't feel any different," Gohan stated.
"Don't worry about it." Elder Kai insisted as his eyes never left the magazine.
"But what if it doesn't work?" Gohan asked.
"Have you never learned patience!?" Elder Kai scolded.
"How can I be patient when my friends are about to risk their lives to beat Buu!?" Gohan questioned as his energy exploded to levels he'd never had before.
"Wow, Gohan, your energy was amazing!" Goku gasped as he and the others stared at the Half Saiyan.
"Are you done interrupting the ritual?" Elder Kai inquired as Gohan looked shocked at himself.
"Yes, sir. Sorry." Gohan apologized as he sat back down, and Elder Kai continued.
"I guess this is working. Though I hope my strength will be enough." Gohan thought
Kami's Lookout…
"Alright, the time is almost upon us! We'll need to take our pots to our selected areas and take out the Buus as fast as possible." Piccolo began as the selected fighters stood in a circle.
"So no holding back and no beating around the bush. That goes especially for you two." Piccolo stated as he looked at the two young Half Saiyans.
"Hey!" The Two Half Saiyans complained.
"Now then, is everyone ready?" Piccolo inquired as everyone nodded their heads in confirmation.
"How much longer do suppose we have?" Jason asked.
"An hour max," Piccolo responded.
"So, let's get moving." Piccolo insisted as he picked up his designated pot while Jason and Elias did the same.
"Let's make sure to make it back alive," Jason said as he and the other four shot off into the sky.
"Remember, you two don't fuse until just before Buu breaks free." Piccolo reminded as he and the two Half Saiyans flew towards the desert they were assigned to.
"We get it already!" Trunks shouted.
"I know, but I'm afraid that your fusion's cockiness will mess up the plan, so keep yourselves in line," Piccolo replied.
"We'll kick Buu's butt just fine!" Goten muttered.
"Just don't overdo things." Piccolo sighed as they shot off at top speeds.
Meanwhile, Elias and 18 arrived at the forest they were assigned to as they landed in a large patch of grass. They had traveled in silence for the most part as both had nothing to say beyond what they already knew.
Only one goal was in mind, and that was killing Buu. So as Elias placed down the damaged pot, he and 18 stood guard, ready and waiting for the monster to break free. Once the pot was placed down, all the animals in the area scattered, running away as if knowing what was about to come.
"I feel like we should be worried about that." Elias sighed as he watched the birds fly off.
"Doesn't matter. They would fly off if any of us powered up." 18 pointed out.
"Fair enough," Elias replied as he looked over to where he sensed Jason was flying.
The Saiyan was sitting crossed-legged across from the pot set on a rock pillar. He made sure to get to his area in the valley as quickly as possible to be completely prepared. Jason's breath shook slightly as the memory of his first encounter with Buu rose.
He didn't want to admit it, but he was actually scared of Buu. It wasn't something he couldn't get over, but this was the first time he had felt such a gap of power. But Jason wasn't going to let that fear take hold of him as he transformed into Super Saiyan 4.
"It's time," Jason murmured as a large crack appeared on the pot.
Supreme Kai's Planet…
"Oh. It seems that Buu fellow is breaking free." Elder Kai commented as he sat in front of Gohan with his hands pointed out towards Gohan, who sat across from him.
"Ah, it is!" Shin gasped.
"But it's early!" Kibito shouted.
"This could be bad. How much longer do we have?" Goku questioned as everyone looked at Elder Kai.
"We'll be done in about half an hour, or maybe an hour. It's hard to tell sometimes." Elder Kai answered.
"That may not be fast enough," Goku muttered as he looked to the sky where he sensed the energy.
"Is there any way we can speed this up?" Gohan inquired.
"Unfortunately, no. But you guys can watch the fights with this." Elder Kai answered as he held up his hand, and an orb appeared.
He tossed it to the Supreme Kai, who caught the orb, which then displayed images of the fighters on Earth. As the others watched, Gohan turned his attention back to Elder Kai, who returned to doing whatever it was he was doing to Gohan.
Though the Half Saiyan was growing nervous as time was running short, and he didn't know if this ritual of Elder Kai's was going to finish in time. He gripped his hands together as the pressure was building.
"Uh, Elder Kai, sir," Gohan called.
"Yes, what is it?" Elder Kai asked.
"How will I be able to access my new power? Gohan asked.
"That's simple. You'll be able to access your new power by transforming much like your Super Saiyan forms." Elder Kai explained.
"It's really that simple?" Gohan questioned.
"Of course. But know it will also take time to master the full strength this ritual will give you. However, it is time you will not have." Elder Kai responded.
"Though you should be strong enough to get the job done." Elder Kai added.
"I see." Gohan nodded.
"We can only hope that the others can hang on until then," Shin murmured as the others peered into the orb.
Earth…
Team Gotenks and Piccolo…
"Hurry, it's time to fuse!" Piccolo shouted as a pillar of energy shot out from the broken pot.
"Right!" Goten and Trunks nodded.
"Fu…"
"Sion…"
"HA!" The Half Saiyans chanted in unison.
"Tada! The mighty Gotenks has arrived!" Gotenks smirked.
"Stay focused. He's here." Piccolo insisted as Buu took form in front of the two.
"Huh…? Me feel weird!" Buu shouted.
"Where baldy and monkey?!" Buu questioned as he looked around.
"They're not here!" Piccolo yelled, getting the monster's attention.
"You green man!" Buu growled as he recognized Piccolo.
"Who shrimp?" Buu asked.
"Who're you calling shrimp Pinky?!" Gotenks snapped back as Buu's frown deepened.
Buu suddenly vanished before reappearing in front of Gotenks towering above the fused child. With lighting speed, Buu shot his fist toward Gotenks, who flew into the air to avoid the attack. The fused warrior transformed to Super Saiyan 2 and kicked Buu in the head.
Due to the monster's elasticity, his neck stretched out far from the force of Gotenks's kick before shooting back and slamming into Gotenks. As Gotenks was sent flying away, Piccolo fired a concentrated beam at Buu, splitting him apart.
However, Buu easily reformed and smacked Piccolo away. The Namekian was hurt, but he noted that Buu's strength was significantly weaker. He was still far stronger than he was, but if he worked together with Gotenks, they might just be able to kill Buu.
Speaking of the fusion, he was flying back, firing several blasts of Ki at Buu, who stretched his body around to avoid the attacks. Reverting his body back to normal, Buu sprung forward, meeting Gotenks as the two clashed, creating a shockwave that shattered the ground below.
But Buu's attack was stronger, knocking Gotenks back allowing Buu to stretch out his arm to create a stronger follow-up. When Buu threw the attack, Gotenks dropped to the ground, landing on his hands before flipping onto his feet before launching forward and slamming into Buu's stomach.
Once he was back up, Piccolo extended both of his arms and wrapped them around Buu's neck before throwing the monster back and slamming him into the ground. Buu's body pointed straight up even with his head in the ground until he tore himself free.
"Why you not dead?!" Buu shouted as veins pulsed on his head.
"Why me not strong?!" Buu questioned.
"It seems he doesn't realize he's not whole just yet," Piccolo noted.
"Let's take him out before he figures it out." Piccolo insisted.
"Though after seeing his intelligence, I doubt he could. Then again, he may able to sense his other-selves, and the Mafuba has lowered his senses." Piccolo thought.
"Right! Then it's time to break out the new moves!" Gotenks grinned as he raised his hand into the air.
"It took me a long time to get this one down!" Gotenks smirked as he created a circle of Ki.
"Have a bite of my Galactic Donut!" Gotenks shouted as he threw the Ki ring.
Buu attempted to avoid the attack, but Gotenks manipulated the attack and looped it around Buu before binding the monster in the ring. Soon after, the ring exploded, and the ground broke apart from the violent attack.
"How was that, huh? It was cool, right?" Gotenks goaded as his ego grew.
"Did that attack even work?" Piccolo wondered as he charged up a Makankosappo.
Soon the smoke of the attack cleared, and Buu was still standing however, he was severely damaged with several missing chunks. Buu stumbled around a little, looking like he was about to fall before he inflated and regenerated his body from the damage.
"GRRRRRHHHHH!" Buu growled as steam exited his head while he stomped on the ground in a tantrum.
When he was done, he shot both of his arms outward, extending them greatly before spinning around in a circle. Spinning like a top, Buu charged at the two fighters who jumped out of the way. Piccolo was forced to fire his attack prematurely, and it tore through one of Buu's arms.
But the severed arm shot up and wrapped around Piccolo, binding the Namekian. Piccolo fell to the ground as he struggled to free himself from Buu's severed arm. Meanwhile, Gotenks attempted to fly over and assist Piccolo, but he was intercepted by Buu.
Buu extended his attached arm and grabbed onto Gotenks's face, and the monster slammed the fusion warrior into the ground several times. Soon Buu retracted his arm, reeling in Gotenks before firing a beam from his mouth point-blank into Gotenks.
Gotenks was sent flying until he came to a stop while he tumbled on the ground. The fusion warrior shakingly got up as Buu reattached his severed arm and threw Piccolo away. Buu shot toward Gotenks, slamming his fist into the fusion's gut.
The monster then slapped Gotenks over and over before throwing him into the sky. Quickly stopping his momentum, Gotenks readied to attack only for Buu to appear before him. Buu slowly raised one hand and blasted Gotenks with full force sending the fusion into a mountain.
As Buu chased after Gotenks, Piccolo recovered from being thrown off by Buu. He realized things weren't going well for them as even with Gotenks, the two were outmatched. Buu was still strong between the strength of Goku in Super Saiyan 3 and Jason in Super Saiyan 4.
"That complicates things," Piccolo noted.
"We need to completely wipe out Buu. No trace. But we may not have enough power to do so." Piccolo thought. Gotenks soon landed on the ground next to him as Buu floated above them.
"He's tough." Gotenks coughed.
"We need to work together more, or else we're never going to beat Buu," Piccolo stated.
"In that case, we need some backup!" Gotenks smirked as he took a sharp breath.
"What are you…?" Piccolo questioned until Gotenks blew out several ghost-like versions of himself.
"Look, I made ghosts!" Gotenks grinned as Piccolo looked at the sight in shock.
"Wha…what is this?" Piccolo asked.
"Uh. They're ghosts. Didn't I just say that?" Gotenks answered.
"They'll be our backup to kill Buu!" Gotenks declared.
"Now go and attack!" Gotenks ordered as the ghosts shot towards Buu, who was confused at the attack.
"Why more shrimps?!" Buu questioned as he was surrounded by the ghosts.
Buu attempted to swat one away, but the second he touched it, the ghost exploded, destroying the arm that had attacked it. When the first exploded, the others charged in, causing several explosions above while Piccolo and Gotenks prepared an attack.
"Remember, don't hold back in your next attack," Piccolo advised as he created a large ball of energy between his hands close to his chest.
"I know!" Gotenks replied as he powered up.
When the last ghost hit and the smoke cleared, Piccolo and Gotenks fired a massive combined beam, not allowing Buu any time to recover. After what seemed to be minutes on end, the two stopped their attack, revealing no trace of Buu.
"Heck yeah, we did it!" Gotenks exclaimed.
"Don't celebrate yet. He may still be around," Piccolo replied as he scanned the area.
Soon several chunks of pink goo shot out of the ground before converging in a ball as Buu began to reform before the two fighters. Buu looked far more red than pink as his rage seemed ready to explode before he bellowed out an ear-piercing roar.
"DIE!" Buu demanded as waves of energy echoed from Buu and crashed into Gotenks and Piccolo.
"DAMN!" Piccolo cursed as he extended his arms into the ground to keep him from flying off.
"He can regenerate from even that?!" Piccolo gasped as he stared at Buu.
"Just great! I didn't want to do this so soon because of all the energy it consumes!" Gotenks complained as Piccolo looked at him confused.
"What is it this time?!" Piccolo questioned until Gotenks let out his own roar.
Gotenks's hair began to grow longer as his eyebrows disappeared and his energy skyrocketed, and his power countered that of Buu's. The monster was taken aback when his tantrum was interrupted by Gotenks's growing power.
Soon Gotenks was done and he, much to Piccolo's shock, was in Super Saiyan 3. Gotenks looked smug as his long hair dropped to knee level. Before either Piccolo or Buu could do anything, Gotenks made the first move firing a large blast at Buu.
Buu folded his body backward to avoid the attack, and when he unfolded himself, he was met with Gotenks's fist in his face. The punch sent Buu flying back but was stopped short when Gotenks grabbed his leg and flung him into the ground.
"EAT THIS!" Gotenks shouted.
"DIE DIE MISSILE BARRAGE!" Gotenks declared as he fired a large barrage of ki at Buu.
When Gotenks finished the attack, there was no sign of Buu, and only a large crater remained. But soon, Buu's parts shot out of the ground and quickly reformed above the fusion. When Buu was fully back together, he joined his hands and hammered down on Gotenk's head.
The fusion warrior was sent flying down before firing a beam to send him rocketing back up and into Buu's gut, stretching it out considerably. Gotenks then removed himself from Buu before firing a point-blank Kamehameha.
Buu wasn't going to take it as he was severed in two and used his lower half to kick Gotenks in the stomach before kicking him in the chin. Stretching out his leg Buu wrapped it around Gotenks and spun him around before tossing him away only to be caught by Piccolo.
"HOW LONG COULD YOU DO THIS?!" Piccolo questioned as he was angry that Gotenks was holding back power.
"For a while. But it drains a lot of power, so in a few minutes, I'll be tapped out." Gotenks explained.
"I see. Well, I guess I can understand why you didn't say anything." Piccolo sighed as he turned to Buu.
"But this gives us another chance," Piccolo stated.
Team Elias and 18…
"Here he comes," Elias called as the pot before him and 18 exploded, and the two fighters struggled to not be thrown off.
Elias transformed into his True Tuffle form while 18 readied herself for the battle ahead. Soon Buu took form before them, looking confused and bewildered. Looking around, Buu seemed to be trying to wrap his small brain around what had happened to him.
"What this? Why me feel funny?!" Buu wondered as he stared at Elias and 18.
"YOU! Where Monkey Man and Baldy?!" Buu questioned as he pointed toward Elias and 18.
"Why do I feel like one of the other Buus is also said that?" Elias murmured as Buu shot out his hands.
Both Elias and 18 jumped away, avoiding Buu's arms as they crashed into the ground they once stood on. The Tuffle warrior lept off a tree and charged at Buu as the monster retracted his arms, managing to land a blow to Buu's face before flying off to avoid being hit by the monster.
18 followed up Elias's attack by firing several balls of Ki into Buu's back before jumping up to avoid a stretched-out kick. She then hurled a Kienzan, cutting Buu in two, allowing Elias to come back in and kick both halves away from one another.
Joining back to back, Elias and 18 shot out from one another towards each half of Buu. Both wanted to end this fight as fast as possible, so they attempted to erase the two halves. But before they could hit the halves, they shot up and reformed into Buu.
Buu dropped down like a bomb and broke the ground below. The action uprooted the forest and created a sinkhole to form and the forest to fall. Upon seeing this, Elias and 18 flew out of the way of debris that fell at them.
"I guess the Earth really is unstable. But to this degree." Elias commented as he landed on the ground
"Looks like we need to be more careful." 18 replied.
Suddenly Buu shot back out of the sinkhole and extended his arm to whip the two fighters. Both dodged just barely, but Buu appeared just above the two, shoving Elias into the ground before kicking 18 away.
Elias was nearly knocked into unconsciousness by the attack but fought it off as he created a sword of Ki and cut off Buu's arm. The Tuffle then thrust the sword through Buu's head, hoping it would kill the monster.
But Buu was unfazed by the attack and slammed his fist into Elias's gut, causing the Tuffle to cough up blood. He was sent flying through several trees before hitting the ground with a few broken ribs.
"S-S-Shit…he's strong." Elias coughed as he wiped the blood from his mouth.
As soon as Elias got up, Buu charged in for another attack, but the monster was stopped short when 18 fired a hail of ki from above. Taking his chance, Elias joined her and fired a Kaiser Flash, adding to the damage the two dealt.
To their dismay, Buu easily got back up, and arms stretched out tackled the two out of the sky and towards the sinkhole. Neither could get out of the monster's grip as they were thrown into the ground.
Flying back up, Buu created a large ball of Ki before hurling it towards the two fighters. When the ball exploded, the sinkhole was burnt to crisp. Thankfully 18 had created a small hole for her and Elias to avoid the attack.
"This is going to be far harder than I thought," Elias murmured as he breathed heavily.
"Buu's far stronger than either of us. We won't be able to fight it head-on." 18 pointed out.
"He can also shift parts of his body. Buu might also be able to shift his organs which is how stabbing him in the head or heart may not work." Elias replied.
"We may not be able to completely erase him either without keeping him in a confined area," Elias stated.
"We might as well keep it down here. This way, we can hopefully keep the damage to a minimum." 18 planned.
"Agreed. Then we'll get him into a confined space and then blast him with our full power." Elias agreed as the two exited their hiding place.
When they exited, Buu was nowhere in sight. But neither fighter was fooled as they could sense Buu who's arms broke out of the ground around them and attempted to grab them. Elias took action, first cutting the arms apart with a ki blade while 18 rushed towards the wall.
She jumped off the wall to get higher speed as she fired several blasts at Buu, who floated just out of sight. Buu retracted his arms and expanded his body, tanking each blast 18 had fired before rebounding them back at 18.
18 dodged each of the attacks, but it allowed Buu to come at her and attack by surprise, but before he could bring down his fist, Elias cut it off. Since his arm was gone, Buu extended one of his legs to kick both back into the sinkhole.
Buu quickly followed and attempted to kick Elias in the gut, only for the Tuffle to grab onto Buu's leg. When he hit the ground, Elias spun Buu around in a circle over and over until 18 landed a strong blow to the monster's face.
This sent Buu flying into the wall and bounced off, shooting back at both 18 and Elias knocking the two down. When Buu hit the other side of the wall, he began to ricochet all around the sinkhole, moving faster than either 18 or Elias could see.
The monster slammed into Elias and 18 forcing them on the defensive. Elias attempted to stop Buu's assault by cutting Buu in two with a ki blade, but Buu easily avoided the attack and knocked him to the ground.
18 attempted to cut Buu in two with a Kienzan, but the monster wasn't going to be hit with the same attack twice. Buu extended his arm and whipped 18 in the chin knocking her to the sky. Elias joined his hands together and struck Buu across the face.
Though he had put his full strength into the attack, it barely fazed Buu, but before he could retaliate, 18 dropped from the sky and kicked the monster to the ground. Taking this chance, the two cybernetic organisms relentlessly beat Buu.
They put everything they had in each punch, in each kick, and each blast of ki they threw at Buu. Eventually, they finished it off with a large explosion of energy, hoping to take out Buu. When their assault was done, Elias breathed heavily, having used up a large amount of energy while 18 wasn't tired.
To their dismay, Buu was still alive though damaged, the monster easily recovered, ready to continue fighting. Buu roared, creating a large shockwave that threatened to knock the two fighters off their feet.
He then fired a large beam from his mouth, attempting to incinerate both Elias and 18, but before it could connect, several green force fields of energy blocked the attack. The attack broke through several of the force fields until stopped just before the last one.
"What this?!" Buu questioned, confused.
"Good question," Elias muttered as 18 looked at the force fields in shock.
"Could it be?" 18 wondered as a figure landed behind them.
"Wow, 18, don't tell me you're actually having trouble with this thing, are you?" A Voice teased as 18, and Elias turned to see Android 17, who wore a long brown coat.
"17!" 18 gasped at the sight of her brother.
"What are you doing here?" 18 questioned.
"It's good to see you too." 17 smirked.
"So this is your brother, I take it?" Elias asked, having heard of him from 18.
"That's right. Name's 17, and this little fight of yours has been messing up this forest." 17 stated as he walked forward, taking off his coat.
"As the ranger assigned to these woods, I can't just let that happen." 17 declared.
"Don't act rashly. Buu's extremely strong!" Elias advised.
"He's right 17 Buu is…" 18 began.
"I've been watching for a little while. The only reason I intervened was because it seemed neither of you could handle this thing." 17 explained.
"I was hoping you could deal with him without me, but since it seems you can't." 17 added.
"So I'll be tagging in to help finish this thing off." 17 stated.
"GRRRHHH BUU HATE BEING IGNORED!" Buu shouted.
"Then I'll be giving you the attention you want." 17 smirked as he disappeared and reappeared in front of Buu with his fist planted in the monster's stomach.
The attack stretched out of the monster's back before 17 blew it open with a large blast of Ki. Spinning around, he then kicked Buu across the face sending him to the other end of the sinkhole.
"Wow, just looking at him makes me feel rusty," Elias murmured.
"I've been training in my spare time. I've become much stronger than I used to be." 17 informed.
"I'm not letting anything like cell happen again." 17 muttered as 18 approached him.
"So you became a park ranger?" 18 inquired, smirking at her brother while both fired at Buu.
"Yes. I heard you got married." 17 responded.
"That's right. I tried to invite you, but I couldn't find you." 18 replied.
"I didn't want to be found." 17 stated as Elias joined the two.
"I hate to interrupt the family reunion, but we need to focus on killing Buu." Elias reminded.
Just as he said those words, Buu shot out from the other end of the sinkhole, damaged but not defeated. 17 created a large force field between them and Buu, but the monster broke through it with ease.
In response, 17 encased Buu with several spheres, but Buu broke out after letting out a loud howl. But before Buu could attack, Elias came down from above and pinned Buu to the ground with a blade of ki.
This allowed 18 and 17 to create a combined attack to erase Buu with their limitless energy. When they were ready, Elias got out of the way as 18 and 17 fired a large beam eviscerating the ground Buu stood on.
"Is that good enough?" 17 asked.
"Probably not," Elias answered as he sensed for Buu's energy signature.
It didn't take long before Buu reformed before the three fighters as his body convulsed in anger. His body bulged and grew muscular as the monster began having a tantrum. He lashed out in anger creating several blasts out into the sinkhole while 17 protected everyone with a force field.
"He's not that smart, is he?" 17 inquired.
"No, not at all." 18 responded.
"Let's be glad he isn't. Because he's hard enough to fight as is." Elias replied.
"So let's do this." Elias insisted.
Elias and 17 charged in at Buu while 18 provided covering fire for them. Buu knocked 18's attacks away, but it gave way for Elias to punch Buu in the gut and 17 to kick him in the head. The attacks knocked Buu back as Elias and 17 released a massive beam.
Buu was damaged by the attacks, but they weren't done yet as 18 flew overhead and fired another beam putting Buu in the ground. When Buu got back up, he was cut in two by Elias before being cut in fourths by a Kienzan thrown by 18.
17 then kept them apart by trapping each one in a spherical force field. Spreading them away from one another, allowing 18 and Elias to attack each one separately. When they were finished, Buu was nowhere to be seen.
But his energy was still very much around as Buu reformed in front of the fighters, though looking very sluggish. It seemed that all their attacks were having some kind of effect on the monster, if only a little.
"GRRRH, YOU MAKING ME MAD!" Buu shouted as his body morphed and contorted, whipping around at the fighters with no rime or reason.
The three fighters could easily dodge it as if Buu wasn't doing it to attack but for something else entirely. Little did any of them know was that Buu actually had a plan. Something the monster did in the most extreme circumstances.
Supreme Kai's Planet…
"Things aren't going too bad so far. They might just win without us!" Shin commented as he watched the fights through the orb.
"Don't be too sure yet," Goku stated as he watched the orb intently.
"What do you mean?" Kibito inquired.
"Something doesn't feel right. I think something bad is going to happen," Goku responded as he looked at two of the Buus.
"Those two Buus look shorter than they did before," Goku informed as he began to have a bad feeling.
With Jason…
Jason stood in silence already in Super Saiyan 4 as the pot exploded as several bits of Buu flew out and converged above him. Soon after, Buu fully formed with a loud roar that shook the rock around them.
Once Buu was in sight, Jason released the energy he had saved up, giving him full access to the power of Super Saiyan 4. It was then that Buu took notice of the Saiyan, and the monstrosity recognized the fighter.
"You monkey man!" Buu shouted, but before he could say anymore, Jason sped towards Buu and planted his fist into Buu's stomach.
Giving the creature no time to recover, Jason clocked him against the face sending him flying away. Not letting up, Jason fired a splitting flare hailing beams on Buu, tearing off several chunks of the monster.
Using Instant Transmission, he appeared above a severely damaged Buu and fired a point-blank Quasar Flare into Buu's back. This left a large crater in the ground where Jason floated over, waiting for Buu to inevitably recover.
It wasn't long before several parts of Buu broke free of the ground and converged on Jason, hoping to encase him within. But Jason avoided the fate with Instant Transmission and responded to the attack with an Armageddon Blast.
It wasn't enough to kill Buu, though, as the monstrosity reformed and was quite angry. Buu fired several volleys of Ki at Jason, but the Saiyan easily dodged each one before rocketing down and kicking Buu in the gut.
The attack sent Buu toward the ground before disappearing and reappearing below Buu and kicking him back to the sky. Jason then shot back up and pierced through the monster with a Dragon Claw.
But before he could continue his assault, Buu morphed his body to face Jason and slam both of his fists into Jason's head. However, the Saiyan was unfazed as using the full power of Super Saiyan 4 seemed to make him far stronger than the Buu before him.
Ripping his arm free from Buu's gut, Jason returned the attack Buu just gave by crushing the monster's head. Opening his palms, he then incinerated the head, causing Buu's body to fall to the ground.
Jason wasn't fooled, though, as he could still sense Buu's energy signature just as strong as it had been before. Suddenly Buu's head stretched out from the ground and attacked Jason from behind, but the Saiyan knocked him away with his tail.
Spinning around, Jason grabbed onto Buu's head and ripped the monster through the ground and back into the air. He then fired several point-blank beams into Buu, filling the monster full of holes before finishing it off with a Buster Flare.
Buu quickly recovered as his anger caused the surrounding area to be covered by steam that blew out of his head. Jason quickly dispelled the steam, only for Buu to come rocketing towards him and slamming his fist into Jason's face.
In order to put more force behind the attack, Buu forced his muscles to grow, allowing the attack to send Jason flying away. The Saiyan was sent careening towards a cliff face but spun around to kick off the cliffside and rocket back towards Buu.
As he approached Buu, he reared his right fist back for a Dragon Fist while Buu buffed his body once more to counter the attack. When the two fists met, the area was met with a massive explosion that broke the ground apart.
When the smoke cleared, Jason had pushed through Buu tearing off a good chunk of the left part of Buu's body. Tossing the part he had ripped off, Jason vaporized it with a large beam forcing Buu to regenerate the lost pieces making him smaller.
"Not as overwhelming now, are you?" Jason spat as he glared at Buu, who seethed in anger.
"Why me weaker than Monkey Man!?" Buu roared as he was unable to understand how he was weaker until he noticed something and looked at his body.
"What is he doing?" Jason wondered as he prepared his next attack, only to be stopped when Buu suddenly let out an ear-splitting howl.
"ME NOT WHOLE!" Buu shouted.
"He noticed?!" Jason gasped as Buu shot off away from him.
"Oh no, you don't!" Jason yelled as he used Instant Transmission to intercept Buu and knock him to the ground.
"You're staying here!" Jason declared as he fired a hail of ki down on Buu.
Unable to fully escape the attack, Buu shot out several chunks of his body to attack Jason. Each one attempted to hit Jason while also enveloping him. But the Saiyan managed to dodge each one, not letting one get to him.
However, they didn't need to, as it forced him to stop his attack and allow Buu to continue flying towards his other halves. Upon seeing this, Jason let out an immense burst of energy, vaporizing the pieces of Buu near him, allowing him to shoot off after the main body.
At all costs, Jason was going to prevent his Buu from joining the others because with this one, he was able to easily overpower. But if they joined together, Jason had no chance of winning this battle.
Buu must have, at some level, realized that he was outpowered, so he is now determined to get to his other halves and regain his full strength. So Jason was going to have to finish his Buu off fast before it could happen.
But that was dangerous as releasing too much power would threaten to break the planet below. Which meant he was going to have to fire into the sky and hold nothing back. Jason soon caught up with Buu and grabbed onto his leg, allowing him to throw Buu up into the sky.
"BEGONE! ARMAGEDDON BLAST!" Jason shouted as he fired a full-power Armageddon Blast at a helpless Buu.
When the attack hit Buu, the monster screamed in pain as his body began to vaporize from the power Jason was exerting. But just as Jason started the attack, did he notice a massive power signature heading his way. Not only one but two signatures were coming his way.
Suddenly Jason was kicked to the ground stopping his attack and saving his Buu from destruction. When Jason recovered, his heart dropped at the sight before him. Not one, not two, but all three Buus were before him.
While his Buu was still damaged, the others looked better, and he could tell they were much stronger. Perhaps it was because they now had clothing much similar to his friends as one Buu had a vest just like Gotenks's, and the other wore clothes similar to Elias.
"What is this?!" Jason questioned.
Earlier…
Team Gotenks and Piccolo…
Gotenks rocketed forth and punched Buu towards the ground, where Piccolo waited and stretched out his arms to throw Buu into the ground. As Buu got up, Gotenks put him back down with another Die Die Missile Barrage.
Buu was unable to fight back as Gotenks overpowered him, enraging the monster greatly as it managed to escape the barrage. The monster was about to throw another tantrum until he actually came up with a plan and smiled.
He had left a piece of himself not too far away just in case, and the time to use it had drawn near. As Piccolo fired several balls of ki, Gotenks kept on the assault as he created more ghosts and charged in with them in tow.
The ghosts went in first, slamming into Buu, causing several explosions severely damaging Buu as Gotenks fired a Kamehameha. When his attacks were done, Piccolo finished off the combo with a Hellzone Grenade.
"Keep it up. We just may win this!" Piccolo insisted as Buu struggled to stay standing.
But both fighters failed to see the monster's smirk. For just behind Piccolo was the piece of Buu he had saved. Before either could catch on, Buu made his move, and his piece stretched out and engulfed a shocked Piccolo.
"PICCOLO!" Gotenks gasped as Piccolo was wrapped in the Buu piece and soon absorbed by Buu himself.
"What did you do?!" Gotenks questioned as Buu healed before transforming into a slimmer form along with Piccolo's cape.
"Now this is interesting! I've never been to think so clearly until now!" Buu exclaimed.
"Now I can properly strategize and fight!" Buu laughed as Gotenks grit his teeth.
"What did you do to Piccolo monster?" Gotenks questioned.
"What did I do? I absorbed him, child!" Buu goaded.
"Now, my mind is far superior than it once was," Buu smirked.
"You won't be able to beat me so easily now," Buu stated.
"We'll see about that!" Gotenks replied as he dashed forward and punched Buu, who was able to just hold his ground.
"It seems the power I gained was just enough to match you as long as I don't hold back," Buu smirked as he grabbed onto Gotenks's arm.
"Or I could just take more!" Buu cackled as his body enveloped Gotenks.
"NO WAY!" Gotenks cried as he blasted a hole in Buu's back and attempted to escape.
But he couldn't get away as Buu managed to grab onto his leg and pull him back in, finally absorbing the fused child. Once he did, his appearance changed once more, becoming slightly taller as his clothes changed to match Gotenks.
"Not bad! Not bad at all! I feel closer to my original strength!" Buutenks exclaimed.
"Speaking off, why am I not at full power," Buutenks murmured as he used his new powers to scan the Earth.
"I see I'm not whole. Well, either way, I'll become far stronger than before!" Buutenks smirked as he flew off.
Same Time…
Team Elias, 18, and 17…
The three fighters flew around the sinkhole avoiding Buu's tendrils that lashed out at them. Elias cut through many, but it only made self-moving pieces of Buu. Not wanting to complicate things more than they already are.
They attempted to blow the tendrils away, but Buu didn't make it easy for them to stop his little rampage. However, Elias noted that the tendrils weren't trying to hit them and were more focused on creating chaos.
But it made no sense to him as he couldn't figure out why Buu was doing this. It wasn't like Buu was gaining anything from doing this, nor was he going to beat them like this. So why was the monster doing it?
"He couldn't be smart enough to think of a plan, could he be?" Elias wondered as so far Buu had demonstrated little to no intelligence.
"17, can you trap it in another force field?" 18 inquired.
"Not with him attacking like crazy as it is now." 17 answered.
"Then we'll need to destroy all the tendri…." Elias began until he noticed something falling towards 18.
"Look out!" Elias shouted as he pushed 18 out of the way of a piece of Buu.
Due to this, he substituted for 18 as he was hit in the back by the piece and immobilized. He attempted to break free by cutting it apart with ki, but he was smacked down by a tendril. Elias fell towards Buu, who retracted his body waiting for the Tuffle.
"HA!" Buu roared as his body enveloped Elias.
"What the hell?!" Elias questioned as he was unable to stop Buu from absorbing him.
With a loud howl, Buu's body glowed before transforming, becoming taller and more fit. His eyes now had lines converging at the iris just like Elias in his True Tuffle form, while Buu also wore the Tuffle's clothing.
"He just absorbed him!" 18 gasped.
"This is Cell all over again." 17 spat, remembering when Cell had absorbed him.
"It may not have been the one I was aiming for, but this shall do! This one was smart, and now so am I!" Buulas exclaimed as he looked at the two androids.
"Now I am strong enough to defeat the two of you!" Buulas grinned as he disappeared and kicked 18 into a wall.
"18!" 17 cried out as he created a force field to shield himself from Buulas's next attack.
But his force field was shattered as he was sent flying across the sinkhole. Buulas then fired several beams at 17, who covered himself in several force fields to defend against the attack. While Buulas was focused on attacking 17, he was unaware of 18 sneaking up from behind.
18 rushed in and attacked Buulas from behind, punching through his back and out of his chest. But the monster was fazed, and instead, Buulas let out a loud cackle. 18 suddenly felt herself being sucked into Buu while she attempted to rip her arm out of Buulas.
"Why leave so soon?" Buulas chuckled as he continued to absorb 18.
"N-No!" 18 cried.
"Hang in there, 18!" 17 called as he rocketed in.
He fired at Buulas's head only for the monster to whip the attack away with his antenna and extend it to knock 17 away. The android attempted to interrupt Buulas by causing the ground to explode, but the monster was undeterred.
"You need to get away 17! Go west for backup!" 18 advised.
"I'm not leaving you to be absorbed!" 17 shouted.
"You have to!" 18 replied as Buulas pulled her in and finished absorbing 18.
"HAHA! I feel even stronger! Not quite full power, but good enough!" Buulas exclaimed.
"One more to absorb," Buulas smirked as he turned towards 17, only to be distracted by something.
"West, she said," Buulas murmured as he looked west and noticed something.
"So that's why I'm not at full power!" Buulas shouted as he rocketed off.
"Damn monster!" 17 hissed as he flew off after it.
Present Time…
With Jason…
"What is this?" Jason questioned as he looked at the three Buus before him.
"Isn't it obvious?" Buutenks inquired.
"We have absorbed many of your friends uh…I don't think I know your name." Buulas explained.
"Nor do I," Buutenks replied.
"What is this?! Who you?!" Buu questioned.
"It seems our little friend here isn't as intelligent as us." Buulas pointed out.
"We can't help with that," Buutenks smirked as the two Buus placed their hands on the third and transferred something over.
"AH!" Buu gasped as his body recovered.
"My intelligence has increased!" Buu grinned.
"It's odd, though, seeing two more of me. I can't wrap my mind around it." Buu noted.
"Everything does go blank after the bald man made his move. Perhaps it separated us." Buulas theorized.
"Good idea. But now that we are all together." Butenks smirked.
"Now, what to do with him." Buutenks grinned as the three turned their attention to Jason.
"Let my friends go now!" Jason demanded.
"Make us!" Buulas replied as the three Buus charged at Jason.
Jason was ready as he punched Buulas away before spinning around to kick Buu in the chin, but he was punched in the gut by Buutenks and knocked towards the ground. As he fell, Buulas was waiting, knocking Jason back up to the sky.
Stopping his momentum, Jason managed to catch Buutenks's attack and throw him into Buu, allowing him to fire a Nova Crusher into Buulas. The Saiyan didn't know how he would save his friends from their absorption, but he needed to figure out beating or incapacitating the Buus first.
Unfortunately for him, Buulas and Buutenks were far stronger than the normal Buu and nearly matched Jason in power. This was a problem as the battle may turn into an endurance test to see who runs out of energy first.
So a combination of fighting three Buus and the fact Jason couldn't up and kill the three without possibly killing his friends made this battle much harder. Ducking down, Jason dodged an attack from Buulas from behind, allowing him to wrap his tail around the monster's leg.
He tossed Buulas to the side but was blindsided by Buttenks, who hit him in the back of the head, giving Buu the chance to slam a ball of ki into Jason's stomach. Jason was then thrown to the ground, where he was pushed in by Buulas kicking him in the back.
Buulas grabbed onto Jason's head and prepared to throw the Saiyan off, but Jason wasn't going to let that happen. He slammed his elbow into Buulas's stomach, forcing Buu to let go of Jason, who took the chance to punch Buulas in the face then grab onto the monster's antenna.
Jason swung Buulas around before slamming the monster repeatedly into the ground. The Saiyan finished his assault by tossing Buulas into the air and firing a big blast. Buu extended his arm to pull Buulas out of the way as Buutenks tackled Jason stopping his attack.
Quickly freeing himself from Buutenks's grip before joining his hands and hammering down on the monster's back. Then he used Instant Transmission to appear behind the other Buus and fired a Quasar Flare at the two.
But both just split apart into several pieces before reforming behind Jason and knocking him down. The three Buus then joined together and assaulted Jason with several blows to his body as Jason fell to the ground.
"Damn, this is getting me nowhere!" Jason thought as he got away from the Buus.
"What's worse is that they aren't joining together to become whole, meaning they're toying with me!" Jason realized.
"I need to take them down and figure out how to save the others," Jason muttered as he charged at Buutenks when suddenly the monster was shot in the back.
"What the?! Who are you?!" Buutenks questioned as he turned to see 17.
"What good would answering that do?" 17 questioned.
"He was one I was fighting. I left him behind once I noticed you two," Buulas stated.
"You're going to give back 18." 17 demanded.
"Not a chance!" Buulas goaded as he fired as a beam at 17, only for Jason to knock it away.
"Can I assume you are 18's brother?" Jason inquired, seeing the resemblance.
"That's right, and I assume you must be on my side then." 17 responded.
"That's right. Can you still fight?" Jason asked.
"It won't be a problem. Just don't let them touch you. That's how they absorb you." 17 advised as Jason nodded, thankful for any help.
The two flew towards the Buus as 17 trapped Buu in a force field and provided suppressing fire for Jason to punch Buutenks into Buulas. Jason then flipped over and kicked the two towards the ground before firing a beam with 17 at the trapped Buu.
Buu broke free from the force field just in time to survive the attack, but he was met by 17, who swiftly kicked him upward to Jason, who fired him back down. However, Buu was caught by Buutenks and Buulas, who helped him fly back up and reengage the two fighters.
While Buu focused on 17 Buutenks and Buulas focused on Jason. 17 was put on the defensive while Jason was able to keep the two Buus at bay. But as he fought, his energy continued to drop, meaning he was slowly dropping off the full power of Super Saiyan 4.
This proved to be yet another problem as if he lost too much energy, the Buus would have him beat in power too. The odds were continuing to stack against Jason and 17, meaning it was going to take everything they had to win.
Kami's Lookout…
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY WERE ABSORBED?!" Chi-Chi screamed as she got in Dende's face.
"It's as I said. The Buus caught them off guard and absorbed them, making them stronger." Dende repeated.
"So what does that mean are they dead?" Bulma inquired.
"I don't know for sure," Dende responded.
"I want to say no, but we can't be certain," Dende added.
"If worst comes to worst, we have the Dragon Balls, but…." Krillin said as he clenched his fists.
"What if it doesn't work," Krillin muttered.
"We can't just give up hope, can we? There's still Jason and this 17 fighting, right?" Videl reminded.
"True, but it may not be enou-" Dende began before he went dead silent.
"What is it Dend…?" Yamcha began to question before he sensed something.
"What? What is that massive power?!" Krillin gasped.
Mr. Satan's Mansion…
Mr. Satan scrambled to pack as much as his things and Videl's into capsules so he could find somewhere safe. The entire world had begun shaking again, and the people outside were looking for him to do something about it.
No way was he going to be able to do anything, and if people made him go, he would either die or be humiliated. So he was going to run away and hide out until this all blew over, but first, he needed to find Videl and keep her safe.
But she didn't even tell him where she was, just that she was safe. Of course, he didn't believe that for a second because how could she be safe without him around. After all, he was the World Martial Arts Champion!
"That's right…the strongest under the heavens…." Mr. Satan thought as he stopped walking around.
"How can I keep calling myself that while I'm about to run away?" Mr. Satan wondered.
"Could I even face her if I run?" Mr. Satan questioned.
"GAHH! I can't just run. For once, I have to be a man!" Mr. Satan shouted as he threw his capsules down.
Mr. Satan stormed into his room and put on his best fighting gear and cape before exiting the front of his home, where a crowd of scared people stood. They all cheered and begged for him to do something about the new fights and monsters putting more pressure on Mr. Satan.
That alone was almost enough to make the man take back his decision and go back to running away but to keep the people calm, he had to do this. Through both hands into the air, he made his signature pose to calm the people.
"Do not worry! For I Hercule will keep this planet safe!" Mr. Satan declared to a roar of applause.
"At least I hope I can do something." Mr. Satan thought as suddenly a strong gust of wind blew through the area knocking people over as if something flew overhead.
"What was that?" Mr. Satan questioned as he got up.
Team Jason and 17…
Jason was knocked down to the ground as the three Buus fired hails of ki down on the Saiyan. 17 attempted to protect him with a shield, but his shields were strong enough to stop the attacks. Thankfully it gave Jason time to use Instant Transmission to get him and 17 out of the way.
The two appeared above the three Buu's and dropped down, knocking them towards the ground before firing their own attacks. Buutenks managed to avoid the attack before creating several ghosts that charged at the two fighters.
Not knowing what they are Jason and 17 fired at them, with each exploding on contact with their attacks. However, it was all a distraction as Buutenks surrounded them with a Galactic Donut pinning them together.
This allowed the three Buus to surround the two and fired a combined attack at the two fighters. Upon seeing this, Jason let out a loud roar as he released a massive burst of energy, breaking the donut and freeing himself and 17.
Now free, they dropped down, causing the attacks to clash together in a large explosion. Though they managed to slip through that attack, the three Buus came rocketing down towards them. They focused on attacking Jason to tire him out and made sure to keep 17 on his toes.
"Not as overwhelming now, are you?!" Buu mocked as he kicked Jason back and into Buulas, who fired a Torrential Flash into Jason's back.
Meanwhile, Buutenks focused on 17 attacking furiously while 17 could only dodge. Until he got an idea and created a force field around Buutenks. Before the monster could break it, 17 slammed the force field and Buutenks to the ground, where it hit with a loud thud before bouncing back up.
17 continued this by sending Buutenks up and down in his force field, disorientating the monster before he set off the ball in a large explosion. Unfortunately, it didn't do much to Buutenks as he shot back up to meet 17 until something changed.
His clothes changed from mirroring Gotenks to mirroring Piccolo as the Buu felt his power drop, much to his surprise. Buulo looked at himself, shocked as 17 smirked and kicked him in the face sending him back to the ground.
"WHAT IS THIS?!" Buulo questioned as he got up.
"It's been over thirty minutes. Meaning Gotenks's fusion ended." Jason noted as Buulas elbowed his face.
"It doesn't matter! I am still stronger than you!" Buulo shouted as he shot back towards 17, who blocked his attack.
While Buulo wasn't as strong as he used to be, 17 still struggled to block the attack as Buulo was still stronger than he was. Though one Buu had been weakened, the odds were still against Jason and 17 until Jason sensed something.
"What is that?!" Jason gasped as he sensed a large energy source heading their way.
"DON'T BE DISTRACTED!" Buulas cackled as he flew above Jason with his hands joined together.
But before he could attack, a figure slammed into him, sending him flying away before firing a large blast into Buu, sending him into the ground. Jason flew there, shocked at the man he saw flying before him dressed in an orange gi.
"Gohan!" Jason gasped as the Half-Saiyan gave him a thumbs up.
Buu has returned, and many of our heroes have fallen into his grasp. Though Android 17 has come to help, things looked grim for our heroes. But just in the nick of time, Gohan returns from the Supreme Kai's planet!
Will he be the deciding factor in the battle to co
Author's Note:
Finally got this done, and it came out pretty well. I hope you liked the fights, even though they weren't overly long. I wanted the real climactic battle to start next time, which will also show the moments before Gohan returns.
Next chapter is definitely going to be fun as I delve into the adjusted lore I made for the fic, so things fit together better when I go into Super. So did you guys like seeing 17? I'm going to try to make him fight a lot more next chapter, as well as I, felt he could have been in this arc more.
It's a little surprising that he didn't do much in the original arc save give Goku energy in for the Spirit Bomb. So I put one of the fights in a forest so he can help, seeing as he is a ranger after all.
I did consider having him be absorbed by Buulas, too but felt it would be a little disrespectful to bring him in just to be absorbed. Especially since he was absorbed by Cell, he wouldn't really like that.
As for how strong he is, I'd say he's just above Elias in terms of power, and Elias is about as strong as Majin Vegeta. I hope I can better write his fight in the next chapter as I'm going to need to better understand his move set for it.
For the Buus, the reason they are not reuniting is, as Jason theorized, because they want to play around with their food. Additionally, I did call the other Buus differently to differentiate them so you could understand who is doing what and saying what.
Just wanted to say that in case anyone was wondering. Now for Gotenks and Super Saiyan 3, I'll give a little explanation as to how it works here as it doesn't reduce the time of the fusion in this fic.
As I've stated before, I'm changing the rules of fusion here, which will be fully explained next chapter, so the reason Gotenks didn't use it was because of the power drain. So if they use it too long, they won't defuse they'll simply be drained of power.
Finally, before I get to the reviews, I want to say I made a Deviantart account where I've uploaded all the previous and the current cover images for this fic. I thought that since I still have them, I might as well put them somewhere if you guys wanted to give them a look.
Additionally, I'll be putting up the cover images of my other fics and probably a few other images over there, so if you want to go see, just search ThatSaiyaGuy on Deviantart. Now onto the reviews:
MattMatrix – Yeah, Ultimate Gohan will be doing more here than he did in the original arc, but you're going to have to wait a little longer before you see that. I'm glad you liked the technique I made for Jason to fully utilize Super Saiyan 4.
While I love the form, I hated how dependent it was on other people's power to gain its full power. After it was first shown in all important battles, those who have it need to borrow the power of other fighters.
I thought it was a good compromise, and I'm glad you see that too. As for Super Saiyan 4 Limit Breaker, I won't say it's not going to come but just not how you think. I'm definitely going to explore the power of Super Saiyan 4 but a little different than that.
Essentially it'll be the same but at the same time different if that makes sense. About being in the Primal State, it won't do much for him. While it does increase his power, it isn't going to be good enough for future fights to be needed.
Plus, keeping it at base won't be the same as doing it with Super Saiyan, for, at this point, it won't do him any good nor increase his overall power. It basically would be him using a lesser power of Super Saiyan 4 (at least in my mind).
Glad you liked the chapter, and I hope you liked this one! And you take care as well!
Jufesocar – Though you posted it in chapter 1, I'll still respond to your review. I know that removing Fat Buu and the Fat Supreme Kai will affect the Moro arc, but the fact is, I'm not going to write about that arc.
While I will be writing into Dragon Ball Super, I plan to end this story after the Tournament of Power. So removing the Fat Supreme Kai along with Fat Buu was a compromise to: one makes this arc more serious, and two keep an opening for the TOP without Fat Buu just falling asleep like he did before.
I'm trying to think ahead for the future arcs of this fic which will change many of Super's story drastically and little by little. So yeah, that's why I removed him, if you were curious. Now, as for your questions.
Unfortunately, I will not be adapting the Broly movie, as I've said before. I will be ending this story after the TOP. Though I may play around with the idea somewhat in the what-if series, but who knows.
I will be exploring more for Super Saiyan 4 and not have Jason learn the god forms so as to keep his growth different to that of Vegeta and Goku's. Since I already explained some of it above, I won't repeat it, but yes, he'll be going this route.
No, neither Goku nor Vegeta will be gaining Super Saiyan 4 as I'm keeping the tail requirement permanent with no exceptions. They'll stay on the path of learning Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue etc. But they will be in the final battle with Buu!
I won't be reviving Cinder during the Resurrection F arc as she was never essential to this story. Besides, at this point, what could she do that could threaten anyone? I mean, if she comes back, she won't be a maiden, nor will she have ki, so she'd be an ant to everyone.
So I'd feel it would be a waste of time bringing her back ultimately for nothing save fan service. I am very well aware of the current plot of the manga as I am reading it, but again I'm not going to adapt that.
No, there will not be a Jason Black in the Future Trunks arc, but I'd say Black will not like Jason since he despises mortals. Now, as to Jason's description, I'll do the best I can. He has short spiky hair (I actually uploaded a drawing of his hair to my DeviantArt account if you want to see it).
He wears a black t-shirt with red pants (Think any gi pants from xenoverse) and red boots with black highlights (Similar looking to the boots Goku wore for his training with Whis). He also still has his tail which is brown (not like Shallot's).
Jason did once wear a gi and gauntlets but doesn't anymore due to Neo making him wear other clothes and the gauntlets being heavily damaged over the years. Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
Luffy L Deathwalker – Beerus will be showing up obviously, and he will be visiting Remnant! If Salem was still around, she'd probably shit her pants, to be honest, lol! Though that being said, it still isn't clear if Destruction Energy can kill immortals (unless I missed something).
That's all I have for today. I hope you guys had a happy holiday and a good New Year! Hopefully, this year will be better, lol. See you guys next time!
