The Alternate Universe

Chapter Twenty-Six : The Mystic Saiyan

Kibito, Kaioshin and Kaioshi were watching the glass ball with the utmost exictement, seeing Gohan flying towards the battlefield,
"Gohan looks such a warrior"Kaioshi said.He turned to the Old Kai, who was not facing them.
"Lousy, ungrateful youths.."he muttered.
"This is all thanks to you, Rou Dai Kai"Kaioshi said, bowing.Old Kai turned, smiling."Well, at least someone has some appreciation"
Kaioshi smiled too.

Majin Buu's head tentacle split into four smaller ones.Two of them attached themselves to Tien's feet, two to Piccolo's.Buu laughed and lifted his head up, then threw it down, smashing them into the ground.
"What to we do?!"Trunks shouted to Goten.
"I dont know!"he replied worridly.
"I do"Brika told them."We fight!"
She jumped out from the ledge they were hiding under and ran forward, aiming a kick a Buu and turning Super Saiyan as she did so.Buu was caught across the face and was thrown back, letting the slightly injured Tien and Piccolo out of his grip.
Buu's frown became a confident, evil smirk as he grabbed Brika's foot and lashed her into the ground.As she did so, Brika was transformed back into a normal Saiyan, gasping for breath.
"Let's get out of here!"Goten yelled, turning and running.Buu appeared behind them, smiling.
"Not so big now are you, children?"Buu asked.
Well when your desperate you'll do anything... Trunks thought."Super...Ghost...Kamikaze..."
Goten looked at him."What?Oh...Super Ghost...Kamikaze..."
"Attack!"They yelled together, sending ten ghosts out each.
The ghosts blasted forward, but stopped right in front of Buu.
"Hey we shouldnt fight him!"
"It's wrong!"
"No way, I'm too scared, dont know about you-"
Buu blasted the front three into the next, and a chain reaction blew them all up.
"Ahh..."Chiaku murmured, stumbling back.
"Thats it.We're done for..."Trunks muttered frightfully.
Buu punched Trunks across the face into Goten, and then headbutted Chiaku and sent her rolling into the floor.
Tien was blasted back as he ran forward.Piccolo jumped and chopped across Majin Buu's back, but Buu turned and kneed Piccolo in the stomach, making him drop to floor.
"With no fusion we're cooked, Goten"Trunks whispered.
"What...do you mean there's a chance we could die?"
"Not just a chance, we're about to bite the big one!It's over for us!"
"How about we just apologise?"Goten asked.
"Fools!"Piccolo yelled, touching down in between them and Majin Buu."I'll fight us out of this.Dont take all the fun"
"Get real Piccolo, even Gotenks and Brikau fused as a Super Saiyan 3 couldnt beat him"
"You couldnt win in five minutes, thats all.With your cocky attitude that's expected"
"What?Cocky attitude, that's what you say after we save you?"
"Look, if we just buy ourselves one hour for you to recooperate, then you guys can fuse into Gotinkau and we can beat him!"
"Piccolo, why dont-"Trunks was cut short as he felt an enormous power coming towards him."HUH?!"he cried, turning to the sky.
"What is it?!"Piccolo asked, "It's mind-boggling!"
"Grah..."Buu grunted angrily, turning to the sky also.Tien flipped up and he too looked about."Piccolo?What is that?"
Brika struggled to her feet and Chiaku stood."Man, my neck...have I been sleeping on a bad angle?"she looked about, "What is that power?!"
"Someone is coming!"Goten cried.
"I've never experienced a power like this.It's outrageously strong!"Piccolo yelled.
A figure was coming down to them, wearing what could be distinctly seen as heavy orange training robes.His black hair shone in the light.He was smiling as he raced down towards them.
"What-"Tien murmured.
"It's..."Piccolo said, "I dont believe it, it's Goku!"
Tien's face filled with surprise... Goku...he's back.Just like old times, Goku...
"NO!"Goten shouted, "It's my brothers, guys!It's Gohan!"
"What?"Piccolo spat, "No way!Go...Gohan...?"
Gohan twirled in the air and flipped over, then landed in front of Buu, a look of determination on his face.Dust was coming into the air in clouds as Gohan skidded to a halt before Buu."Hey.What's up, guys?"Gohan asked, turning his head to them and smiling.
Majin Buu looked extremely angry.Now it was him that victory had been stolen from.
"Hey"Trunks said.
"Gohan, we thought you were dead!"Goten announced happily.
"I would have been if it wasnt for the help of supreme Kai"he said, turning back to Majin Buu, "But that's all in the past...I think we should focus on the here and now"
"Gohan...it's...and a..."Tien murmured incoherently.Gohan carried a sword in a scabbard on his back.
Gohan I've known you since you were a boy.Since then you have never changed through the twelve years of nuturing me and Goku gave you.Yet in twenty four hours..its...its amazing, yet disturbing.You've changed.Your face, and your power...but that's not it!It's your attitude, it's different...you so...confident.. Piccolo mused, trying to find the right words to describe to himself this change, You've changed into the man I've always trained you to be...and maybe Gohan, just maybe...I dont want it...
"Where are the others?"Gohan asked, still keeping an icy stare on Buu.
"They're dead"Chiaku replied.
"All of them?"Gohan asked.
"All of them!"Gotnen cried, "Mom, Bulma, Kami...even Videl!"
Gohan gasped as though a wave of ice-cold water had been thrown onto him...Videl...
"And what about Dende?Is he alright?"
"No...he's gone too!"
No...that's means we cant wish anyone back... mental images of Videl, his mother, Kami and Popo and the others flashed across his mind.He clenched his teeth in anger... They're gone.And without Dende..wait...
"And they were good!I turned them all into chocolate and gobbled them up!"Majin Buu announced.
I can sense something...but just barely...
"So, hotshot, you want to fight Majin Buu?"
"Fight you?"Gohan repeated, "heh, no...I want to kill you"
Gohan smiled and retrived his sword, and walked right up to Buu.They were inches apart, staring each other off.Gohan was like his father now, like he never had been before.Gohan had been strong, yes, even more so than his father.But cool, confident and thrilled at the prospect of battle...that was not the Gohan they knew.

"Gohan is amazing..."Kibito muttered."Grand Kai sir, you had every right to bring Gohan here.It was a most wise decision.He is an extroadanary man, who thought that a mere mortal could progress so substantially?"
"Well"Kaioshin replied, turning from the ball to Kibito, "Seeing as I am the Supreme Kai it is my choice and duty.Though you must admit my apprenticeship instincts were correct, were theh not?"
"Why yes"Kibito replied."Choosing a worthy apprentice is one thing, and when Gohan was able to retrieve the sword was another, but when he he smashed the sword and released Old Kai, it was legendary"
"Well...I guess if you cant do that job yourself, finding someone to do it for you is the next best thing.I've been called into battle many a times to face great enemies that the people should have sorted out themselves.Now really, your generation is just the same.Using dragonballs to wish for your own affairs to be solved is really silly!"the Old Kai muttered dissaprovingly.
"Yes, venerable elder"
"I always hoped it would be a Kai that would release me"
"Well, sir, if you would review the case, I think you can see that the situation has worked out well.I understand your sentiments, but now the Earth is being saved by it's own people"
"True"Kaioshi agreed, "The people of Earth need to stand up for themselves"

"Ahahahha!"Buu laughed, destroying the tense, pre-battle moment."I remember you now!You are the puny man I took care of before!You are no challenge!"
"Hmm...we'll see.You've changed Majin Buu.You've got stronger.But then again, so have I"
Gohan slashed across Majin Buu's stomach and he seized up, glugging as it fell.Time seemed to slow for all but Gohan and Majin Buu, as they exchanged glances and winning smirks.Buu attached himself back on.
"Well, I see I wont be needing this"Gohan said, taking the sword and moving it away from him."Goten, catch"he called, throwing it to his brother.
He held his hands up, but Trunks shoved him aside and grabbed it."Heheh!"he cried happily.
"Hey!Trunks that is MINE!"Goten yelled.
"Nah, oldest gets it.And also finders keepers.So two rules!"Trunks protested.He wagged his tongue, "Meh meh!"
"Trrrunkks!!"
Gohan chuckled and turned back to Majin Buu.
"Hey, Gohan let's see some of that power, huh?"Brika asked.
"Okay"Gohan agreed, stopping Goten and Trunks from arguing, "A demonstration..."
He did not power up, tense himself or create an aura.
Gohan is amazing!I remember him as a kid... Tien thought, When Nappa and Vegeta showed up, Gohan wouldnt attack the poor kid was so frightened, while everyone else battled to the death!Now he's putting himself on the line.And emotional Tien charged forward,
"Hit him with everything you've got Gohan!Dont hold back!"
Gohan smiled."Thanks, Tien"
With one punch from Gohan, which everyone was unable to see if they blinked, Majin Buu was skidding back sending deep groves into the ground where his feet had dug in.There was a large dent across his face.Majin Buu reeled as though he had been hit again and was thrown into the floor.The wind blew a great wave of dust across the ground.
"Get up you spineless fool.I know your not hurt after an attack like that"
"Ah!"Everyone gasped.How was Buu not hurt after such a crushing blow?And how did Gohan know?!
"If Gohan hit me like that I'd be down for a month"Tien muttered.
Buu jumped up, "Your a smart one, but you couldnt hurt me"
"Oh really?"Gohan asked.He appeared in front of Buu and kneed him in the stomach, making Buu's head fall forward and emit spit.
"I knew that one hurt, didnt it Majin Buu?"
Anger his face.He had defeated the brats, he would conquer them, the three-eyed man and the namek.But now this fool who had disposed of had come back.And there was no escape with so many of them...
Gohan knocked the side of Buu's head with the back of his arm, sending the monster crashing into and through a large peice of rock.Buu jumped up and dashed forward and aimed a series of punches to Gohan, but he dodged, and they went into thin air.Buu kicked but Gohan jumped and pushed down on his head, throwing him into the ground.
"Buu...make...you...DEAD!"Buu promised in a rage, wiping away a trickle of blood from his mouth.He blasted forward and folded into a ball, and rammed into Gohan's stomach.but Gohan caught him with his hands, but was pushed back towards a cliff.
"Gohan, watch out!"Chiaku called.
"I'll take care of it!"Trunks cried.He sliced down the cliff, but it didnt help.
"Thanks Trunks!"Gohan shouted, and he smashed through the cliff creating a large hole.Buu spun out of his ball, and the Gohan punched into Majin Buu's stomach, throwing him into the ground.Buu punched, but Gohan dodged and smiled.With the next punch he caught Buu's hand and threw him back.His elbow smashed into the cliff.
Again, they stared each other off.Majin Buu's face filled with a thunderous rage, and as his thoughts commanded, the sky filled with dark clouds.
A fork of lightning came down into the sliced cliff.Their faces lighted up, then faded into shadow.The cloud suddenly retracted into the sky and Buu and Gohan came out of the cliff, one jumping to one side and one to the other.
Gohan punched Buu across the face, then kneed him in the stomach.His kick came round and collided with Buu's back, throwing him forward.
It's amazing... Piccolo thought, Gohan's not even a Super Saiyan and he's picking Majin Buu apart!A power increase of this magnitude is inconceiveable...
"I thought you said something about making me dead?"Gohan asked.
"Buu do what Buu say!!"Buu screamed.He fired a blast at Gohan, but Gohan crushed it effortlessly.Buu put his hands together and fired a giant blast towards Gohan, but he flipped to side and avoided it.It exploded in midair, destroying the cliff and sending thick smoke into the air.
His hands went together and Gohan smashed down on Majin Buu's head.He tripped and turned, and hit the falling cliff.He jumped up and turned, his muscles bulging."MAJIN BUU WILL...KILL...YOU!!!!!!!!!!"he screamed.
Gohan kicked Buu in the stomach, winding him,and knocked aside his purple blast of energy.
"Jump!"Piccolo yelled as it headed for him, Goten, Trunks and Tien.
"Wow...your brother's really messing with Buu!"Brika cried."If only my brother was that cool!"
Chiaku smiled.Gohan appeared in the air above Majin Buu and elbowed him down into the ground, sending a wave of blood into the air.
But Buu was not so easily thrown off.He hit the ground with one arm and one knee down on the floor.
"Grah!"he spat.He was about to stand, when...
"Psst.."A voice hissed.Buu turned, "Hi"Gohan greeted him."Nice day"
Anger possesed Majin Buu, but fear gripped him tightly.What was he to do?
Buu stood."What's the matter, Buu Buu?"Gohan asked.
"Buu...not Buu Buu!Fool!I'll kill you all!"
"Be careful boys"Piccolo warned, "Majin Buu may not be able to harm Gohan, but a potshot might damage us..."
"No one mocks Majin-"Buu began, but Gohan elbowed him in the face and threw him back into a cliff.He smashed into it, then with an almighty scream he was racing back on one of the hundreds of rocks.
Gohan remembered his training, which seemed O so long ago.Dodging rocks was so simple then...
Buu hitched a ride on one of them and came screaming towards Buu, but he threw him into the ground.
Buu jumped up.He created a ball of energy in his mouth, but Gohan held it in.Buu gurgled, and it made him swell larger and larger, the attack waiting to explode.Then, Buu exploded in a haze of energy.He was left scarred and weak, smoke coming from his many holes.
"You..."he muttered.Gohan punched him in the stomach, pushing all the steam and smoke out.He headbutted him, then kicked him down.
"So..."Buu murmured, standing up and turning."It's you...I've known about you all along"
"What?"Gohan asked.
"I knew you were coming, you strong man.I could sense you along time ago in a faraway place.I mean I've been expecting you, ever since I started those little brats.Even while I was fighting, I could sense you, your power growing.I knew that the brats would lose, that they would get weak.I knew you were coming.And I can't let a power greater than mine exist"
"Well I understand your pain, but your going to have to live with it.It would seem that the scales are tipped in my favour"
"He's known about Gohan all along"Piccolo announced.
"What?"Tien asked, turning.
"He was merely using Gotenks and Brikau as a warm up"
"Uh-Oh..."Chiaku murmured, walking forward, "What if he's hiding his real power?"
"I doubt that"Piccolo assured them, "He was fighting full out against you.Maybe he faked a lot of things, but most were real.Especially the damage to his pride"
"What?"Trunks asked.
"Your too young to understand, but Buu was hurt when he discovered a power greater than his.I watched him develop with Mr.Satan, in his good form, and he didnt care much that Babidi was stronger than him, it was Babidi's rejection that hit him hard.I think Mr.Satan put a lot of effort into mending things with Majin Buu, and they were nearly sucessful"
"Goodbye!"Buu yelled, loud enough for everyone to hear, "Maybe I could defeat the brats easily, but you'll take a little...MORE!"
"What?"Gohan muttered.
"Now you'll see what happens to those I hate!Stupid boy!YOU WILL DIE!Yes, your going to pay for everything you did...to...me..ARGHHHH!"he screamed, exploding in a crazy rage.A purple, burning aura lit him.
"Go ahead, make me pay, but with that level of strength your going to have a tough time collecting"
"Your missing the point...Gohan..."
"huh?"
They stared each other off, but this time the situations were much different.Majin Buu, with a crazed smile and an intrigued Gohan.
"Oh...oh no!"Gohan yelled just as Buu stopped screaming.He turned and dashed for Piccolo, Tien, Goten, Trunks and Chiaku.In front of them he grabbed Brika, and then jumped.Then there was an almighty explosion.

Mr.Satan and Karron turned to be blown back through the door of shop.Half of the city was destroyed, the rest heavily damaged.
"He....he hasnt stopped destroying yet...?"Satan whispered.He fell to his knees, "Buu...BUUU!!!!"
Karron watched him sadly, then looked to the smoke.What was going on?

"Wow...Gohan, how did you know that he was going to do that?"Trunks asked.The seven of them, Gohan, Trunks, Goten, Chiaku, Tien, Piccolo and Brika were high above a ginormous crater, which had great clouds of black smoke frothing out of them.Gohan took them down and they landed on a high cliff overlooking the scene.
"So, what happened?"Brika asked.
"Is Majin Buu dead?"Goten asked.
"No way"Gohan replied.
"What?"an alarmed Piccolo snapped.
"It's some kind of ploy.I'm not too sure yet..."
"But there's no signal!I cant sense a thing!"Tien shouted.
"I know"Gohan said."He's masking it somehow"
"Wow, for a pink peice of blubber Buu's pretty smart"Trunks commented."Guys...what are you all so worried about?"he asked, seeing their serious or scared faces."Even if he is alive, we've got Gohan now!Even as Super Gotinkau we could easily beat Majin Buu"
"Well, no we were about the same"Goten murmured.
"Yeah whatever"
"So..."Piccolo asked, as he and Gohan walked to the edge of the cliff and looked to the horizon, "Just how did you get so strong?"
Gohan looked up to him and they exchanged smiles, and Gohan proceeded to tell him of his time in Other World.

"So breaking the Zee sword turned out to be a blessing in disguise?"Piccolo verified, as Tien entertained the children.
"Yeah, I guess you could say that"Gohan replied.
"Strange how fate works out sometimes..."Piccolo commented dreamily.
"Hey Piccolo, we're going to be needing the dragonball radar"Gohan told him."Where is it?"
Tien looked up to them as Piccolo replied, "It's in Bulma's spaceship up atop the lookout...only...there isnt anymore lookout to go to!The ship must have crashed down somewhere, we'll have to search for it...and also only.."
"Only it doesnt make a bit of difference"Tien inserted,"Because both Dende and Kami are dead..."
"The balls are inert"Piccolo finished.
"But hey!"Tien cried, "That's not true!Because, if Kami was dead so would you!"
"No"Piccolo replied, "I wish that were so, but we wished for the link between us to be severed long ago..."Piccolo turned sadly to the horizon.
"Wait a second, I think we're jumping the gun a bit here"Gohan said."Feel it?It's faint, but it's prevelant"
"What?"Piccolo asked, "Mmmm..."He murmured, focusing."Yes!"
"Hey...I can sense it too!"Tien cried."They're alive!"
"How about we go find the others before our friend Majin Buu does?"Gohan asked them.
"Sounds great"Piccolo agreed.
So they set off to find the radar and the guardians of the Earth, and perhaps a few others along the way.

Trunks, Brika, Goten and Chiaku flew at the back, with Gohan, Piccolo and Tien up front, all scanning for any signs of life.
"Hmmm..."Gohan murmured.
"What's up?"Piccolo asked."Do you see something?"
"Yep...it's man, and a boy...and a dog!"
Trunks, Goten, Piccolo and Gohan flew lower to get a better a look.
"Oh..."Trunks muttered darkly, seeing Mr.Satan trotting along, "It's him.We're not going to help him, are we?He's a liar.And he cheats!"
"Yes"Piccolo agreed, "But I think he's paid his dues.Deep down he's a decent guy.I've been keeping tabs on the man lately, and I've realised something most of us fail to take into account;that just because a person is bad it doesnt mean they're evil.And even the evil ones have a conscience"
"Even Majin Buu?"Goten asked in surprise.
"Even him"Piccolo replied."Come on, let's go get him...and...it's Karron!"
"Karron?"Goten asked."Yeah, it is!"
They swooped down on them, Piccolo grabbing Mr.Satan, Goten the dog and Gohan Karron.
"Ahhh!"Satan screamed, "Oh no, put me down!No no no!"
"Karron"Gohan whispered, "Are you okay to fly?"
"Sure"Karron replied weakly, and he was released from Gohan's grip as they rose up to the others.
"Hey!"Tien cried, "It's Bulma's ship!Crashed over there in that valley!I'll go get the dragonball radar, hold on"
Satan stopped writhing."huh...?"he murmured.He looked over and saw Gohan, "Hey, it's Videl's friend!"
"Hi Mr.S!"Gohan called.
"Oh, er, hi..."Satan replied."Thanks for the lift..."

As Tien returned with the radar clutched in his hand, Piccolo presented Gohan with his problem.
"There's still one thing I dont understand"
"Well?"
"Well just how did Dende manage to survive?He had ample time to hunt him down.It took us quite a while until we managed to escape, so it would seem Buu would be able to hunt him down, right?"
"Maybe...but didnt you say you were fighting in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?So maybe a good while past for you, but it would only equate to a couple of minutes on the outside world would it not?"
"That's right!"Piccolo yelled, throwing his arms up and dropping Mr.Satan."How come I didnt think about it, I'm such a fool!"
"Me neither"Tien agreed, clutching the radar.
Trunks swooped down and caught Hercule, "Sorry, my friend got a little carried away"

"Keep searching, Dende!"Popo encouraged.The two had met up some while ago and proceeded to search for Kami to find some vein hope of creating a resistance force to fight Majin Buu until the end."He's got to be here somewhere!I remember him falling off, injured yes, and that could work to our advantage.He cant have got far..."
"Your right"Dende agreed, prodding the bushes.After a few seconds, he cried, "I've got something!"
But Popo had moved round.He dragged out Kami by the arm and round outside the bush.As he did so, he saw Trunks swooping down on them.
"Oh cool, wow!"Trunks shouted, dropping Satan into a thorn bush, "Guys!"he called up to the others, "It's Dende...and Kami and Popo too!"
The others came down towards him and landed, leaving Satan sticking out of the bush awkwardly.Piccolo landed, full of emotion, in front of Dende."You survived!I dont know how you did it, but you did!"
"That was thanks to Popo"Dende said, pointing to his companion.
"We've been searching for Kami the last while.It seems Dende cares much for him"Popo said.
"Well, it's nice not being the only namekian here..."Dende replied.
"And Kami?Where is here?"Tien asked.Beside the bush Satan had fallen into Kami rose, "I'm here"
"Kami!"Dende called, "Let me heal you!"
"No that wont be necessary, I'm fine"he replied."So where is Majin Buu?"
"Your a fine guardian, Dende"Piccolo praised.He turned to Kami, "You've raised him well...."
"What...so that scrawny green guy is some kind of bodyguard?"Hercule asked.
"You oaf!He's guardian of the Earth!"
"Still, I wouldnt employ him to look after my garden!But a guardian, really?I'll be darned..."
Trunks shook his head.
"I think we should all swop stories before we decide what to do" Kami told them, "Well, tell me what happened to you all!"

"Phew...Dende is alive"Kaioshi murmured.
"How they intend to use the balls and Dende, brother?How will they utilise these 'wishes'?"Kaioshin asked.
"Well, from what I have learned from Goku while training-"
"No disrespect sir, but isnt that place meant for solitude and self-training?"Kibito asked.
"It is, but we met up every year or so for a day.We even had some spars to test our strength, and from what I learned if all three wishes are made you have to wait a year for them to work again, so I dont know what they will do until then.I suppose because the nameks dont need to eat, Piccolo, Dende and Kami will wish everyone back, right?"
"Gah!Doesnt this generation know how to plan?Do I have to do EVERYTHING?!"The Old Kai asked himself in annoyance.

"WHAT?!!!"Hercule screamed, "M-M-My sweet Videl is dead!This cant be, Buu is my friend!She should'a took Buu down no problem! My... poor... Videl!DARN YOU BUU!"he shouted.He dashed towards Gohan, "WHAT KIND OF BOYFRIEND ARE YOU?WHY DIDNT YOU PROTECT HER?"
"I wasnt there!"
"Dont worry, she'll come back to life"Goten explained.Satan rounded angrily on him, shaking him viciously."How is that possible you little imp? People just dont come back to life like that!"
"I understand your pain, Mr.Satan, but the boy is right"Kami told him.
"How are you gonna bring her back to life?No joking around, this is my daughter were talking about, not some kind of animal...and...what about my other daughter!Did he...kill everyone?!"
"Everything is gone"Piccolo said.
"Huh?"Tien murmured, who was at the edge of the group staring into the horizon.He turned to his left, and other people grunted softly or stared curiously at Tien."It's..."
"It's Majin Buu!He's back!"Chiaku cried."So soon?!"
"It's impossible!"Trunks cried.
"Guys, you stay here"Gohan told them, jumping forward past Tien."Dont get sucked up into the fight, you can wait from there"he tore his scabbard off his back, "Trunks, take this"he said, throwing it to him.Trunks put the sword in and slung it over his own back.
Why is he back so soon?What could have changed...? Gohan thought suspiciously, Last time I fought his power was so much inferior...
Gohan looked down and remembered elbowing Buu in the face, and kneeing him in the stomach, He doesnt have the power of a Saiyan to increase after being healed or every battle...unless he managed to squeeze years of training in to one hour, I doubt if he will survive...
Gohan looked back up again to see Majin Buu close to him, a wild smirk on his face.What was his plan exactly...?

There was a wrecked city not far away from the battleground, which had been damaged by the fight between Babidi and Cell, and destroyed by Buu's Human Extinction attack, but not eradicated.It was still there, a few buildings half-standing, the rest rubble and wreckage.
Among one of the buildings wrecked so heavily that it's original shape could not have been identified, lay Perfect Cell.And he was alive.
After their battle, Cell had been trapped in the lower parts of the building which Babidi had then blasted away.The structure imploded on itself, killing hundreds, and sinking it into the ground.Half-buried in a closed area of objects squeezed so hard together they formed a dome of darkness around him, he lay.His skin had been melted, but had now dried, giving Cell a hideous deformation.With his little strength he broke off the burned skin painfully, sweating as he did so.
"Ahh...ahh...ARGHHHH!"he screamed, as he literally tore himself apart.Though, as he did so he rehealed, and there was not much left to break.
"I will get you, Babidi...if it's the last thing I do..."

"Come on"Brika whispered.She, Trunks and Goten hopped further towards the battleground, followed by Chiaku.
Buu landed opposite Gohan."HEY MAJIN BUU!"he yelled, "How dare you hurt my Videl!What's wrong with you?You promised not to kill anymore, remember!"
Buu began to laugh."Stupid, ugly man!"
Mr.Satan flinched, his eyes shining with tears and sweat."Huh...dont you recognise me anymore...?"
"I recognise you!You were that STUPID man who annoyed Buu!"
"Dont you know?Wake up!The Buu you made friends with is gone!"Piccolo shouted, "You have as much knowledge of ethics as a tree, but you should understand by now that Buu doesnt care for you.He doesnt care for anyone"
Hercule pulled Bee up, "Hey Buu, it's Bee!You remember him, dont you?"
Still no reaction."Okay, you gave it a try now back off"Piccolo snarled, "Let Gohan handle it"
"We'd...better be quiet then, Bee"Satan whispered.Buu...how could you have rejected me like this?
Hmmm...I dont sense any difference from before.And I dont think he's hiding anything...so whats up? Gohan thought.

"What's going on, what is Majin Buu doing?"Kaioshin asked.
"I dont sense any difference from before"Kaioshi told him, "His technique is still the same"

"Hey guys, I bet he's bluffing"Trunks shouted, at the front of the pack just beside Tien, "He could never beat Gohan!Ten to one he runs away again!"
"Come on then, little worms!"Buu shouted, "I want to fight YOU!"He pointed directly at Trunks.
"M-M-M-Me?"he stuttered.
"All of you!Why dont you do your little fusion thing?"
"No way, that is not gonna happen!"Gohan ordered them, "Your fighting me, Buu.You got it?"
"I have a score to settle with them first.Then I'll take care of you, stupid boy.You will wait for Majin Buu!"he retorted.
"I've told you before, it's not going to happen.Your not making the rules around here pal, I am"
"Maybe Gohan's right..."Goten murmured.
"Aww, what's wrong boys and girls?"Buu asked, "Have the little Super-Saiyans gone soft?Ahahahah!"
"Grr..."Trunks growled."Hey we're not scared, you'll see!"
"You were raring to go before, but now that your buddy showed up your acting like cowards!"
Majin Buu's head tentacle tip became liquid and dripped onto his back, making three balls which pushed around his back."Well, what are you whimps waiting for?Let's do it!"
"Oh I'm sorry, I must have misjudged you"
"What does he mean?"Trunks asked.
"I think he's calling us weak"Goten replied.
"Well, Buu, I dont think you remember us whipping your butt"
"Well, what do you say guys?"Trunks asked."We become Super Saiyan 3 Gotinkau and take him down?"
"Yeah, I think so"Chiaku murmured, "I'm not scared"
"I'm in"Brika added.
"But...shouldnt we listen to Gohan?"Goten asked.
"No!"they yelled back."Okay, okay"he replied.
Buu's blobs swirling around his back, slithering down behind his feet and into the rocks.
The four of them jumped forward.
"Wait!"Piccolo cried, "I sense some kind of...deception..."
"Come on, big guy, what's he gonna do?We've got Gohan now.And besides, he's not smart enough for something like that!"
That's it...do your little fusion... Buu thought hungrily.
"Step back, Gohan"Chiaku said, "We're gonna need a little room"
Gohan jumped back near to Tien."Guys I said no..."
"Then why did you jump back?"
"FU..."They began."...SION..."
"HA!"they cried, fusing into Gotenks and Brika.Bright light reflected off them all."Whoa...so that's what fusion looks like..."Gohan murmured in awe.Hercule Satan looked utterly bewildered.
"Yeah..."Gotenks whispered, closing and opening his hand, a heavy golden aura surrounding him, "Sorry you were missing me Majin Poo, but I'm here and ready to go now!"
"Can we just get this over with?"Brikau asked.
"Oh right"Gotenks muttered, "And again....FU..."
"What are they doing?"Gohan whispered.
"It's strange, I know, but they're double-fusing"
"Huh?"
"Wow...that's weird..."Satan muttered, with Dende, Karron, Popo and Kami next to him, "First there were four, now there's only two..."
"...SION..."
"And he's got blonde hair instead of...and what's going on?"
The power and wisdom of Kami, Tien and Gotinkau...unstoppable! Buu thought.Bee was becoming active, barking angrily.
"So your saying they...'fused'?I dont understand it, shouldnt two kids becoming one be twice the size?"
"HA!"they shouted."And...whoa!"Hercule cried, the light filling his face."They're doin' it...again?"
"I'm hungry too Bee, but now there's this fight and it's really important!"Satan whispered in response to Bee's barking and growling."Calm down, Bee!"
It's amazing... Karron thought, How come I never got to fuse?What did daddy say...some people are better than others?Is...no...
Super Saiyan 3 Gotinkau stood before Majin Buu."Okay Gohan, I'll take it from here on in.It sorta looked like you were needing a break though didnt, huh?No offence, but your a bit weak.And if I'm feeling good, I might be nice enough to let you get a shot in"
"Nice attitude, you've definately got some Vegeta in you"Gohan commented.
"Thank you"Gotinkau replied cockily, stretching itself.The pink slithering balls of goo suddenly lit up a bright purple like Buu's eyes.He was controlling them!Instantly, they locked onto their targets.One headed for Gotinkau, the other Kami and the third for Tien.
Bee broke free of Satan's weak grip, as he was too interested in the fight to hold on tight, and galloped toward's the sludge heading for Tien, barking loudly.Hercule followed worridly, "Your heading the wrong way, Bee!"
Then he noticed the slugde."What is...what is that?"
