Majin: A Hero's Return

Goku looked up from where he was sitting, because in the last few seconds he had felt Super Buu's ki return to Earth, meaning that he had either killed Gotenks or had left him broken in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with Piccolo tending to him. That worried him a tiny bit, because the fusion between Goten and Trunks was supposed to have the power to defeat Majin Buu, but at the same time it appeared that Super Buu was too tough for Gotenks to handle. Since he and Vegeta were dead, which ruled out Gogeta, and Gohan was still in the middle of releasing his hidden potential, which meant that the only one that could stop Super Buu at this point in time was Raijack. He suspected that Rainbow was going to be excited about the opportunity to face their opponent in an actual match, instead of sparring like they had been doing earlier, but even if he could figure that out he still wanted to see what was happening for himself.

In the end he let out a sigh and rested his head against the trunk of the tree that he and Shin were sitting under, as it appeared that he was going to have to wait for a trip to Earth to hear what was happening down there, and that wasn't going to happen while the Check-In Station was busy checking in all the Earthlings that Super Buu had just killed.

"Is something wrong Goku?" Shin inquired, because based on what he knew about the Saiyan, which was quite a lot thanks to all the years he and the others had been watching him and the Z Warriors, he suspected that the warrior was disappointed in the fact that he wasn't watching the fight with Super Buu.

"I'm curious as to what is happening on Earth at the moment." Goku replied, knowing that there was no reason to lie to Shin, as he had been gracious enough to allow him to stay and relax while they waited for Gohan's power up to finish, "I mean, I know that Super Buu has left the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and Gotenks is still inside the chamber, but I would really like to actually watch these events happen."

"Do you really want to see what's happening on Earth at the moment?" the Old Kai asked, turning his head so he could look down the hill, to where Goku and Shin were sitting, while at the same time being thankful for a slight distraction from his own musings.

"Yes, I would like that." Goku answered, though even as he answered the old Kaioshin's question he had to wonder why the Old Kai would even bother to ask him that to begin with, especially when he had just said that he wanted to take a look a few seconds ago.

"Very well," the Old Kai said, to which he held a hand out and summoned a blue crystal sphere, one that was as large as his head, before gently tossing it to the left of where he was sitting, allowing it to roll down the hill, "Have fun watching Super Buu and the upcoming fight."

Goku and Shin, along with an interested Kibito, gathered around the crystal ball as it came to a stop in front of where they were sitting, to which it glowed for a few seconds before an image appeared before them, an image that was the Lookout. Goku was curious as to why the crystal ball would show the Lookout, though he and the others watched as a hole appeared in the air on the right side of the building, causing them to raise their eyebrows for a moment. A bunch of pink colored goo shot out of the hole and landed in a puddle on the ground, though once the goo had formed the puddle the hole sealed itself a few seconds later. That was swiftly followed by the goo gathering together and taking on the shape of Super Buu, meaning that he had definitely escaped from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and was either seeking a new challenger or he was getting ready to obliterate the world.

Shin commented that it appeared that Rainbow, Applejack, and Gale were on their way back towards the Lookout, as they were reacting to Super Buu's presence, but as the group watched they spotted Chi Chi and the other members of the Z Warriors running outside to see what was happening. Mr. Popo, seeing that Super Buu had escaped, grabbed Dende and silently pulled the Guardian of Earth away from the group, as if he sensed what was coming and knew that it was important to spirit Dende away from the Lookout. A few seconds later Super Buu reformed and stared at the group, to which he said something about being hungry from his battle with Gotenks and needed something to get him fueled up for the next battle that was coming.

Goku, Shin, and Kibito watched as Super Buu started transforming everyone on the Lookout into bars of chocolate, to which he sat down and started chewing on them... while at the same time causing Goku to growl in anger while Shin and Kibito mourned the loss of the few remaining people on Earth. Goku was outraged, because Gohan appeared to be the last living person in their family at the moment, while at the same time Vegeta's entire line had been extinguished by Super Buu's actions. It was times like this that Goku was glad that he stuck to his decisions and didn't tell Gohan about what was happening on Earth, because he wasn't sure whether his son's hidden power would be enough, despite the power that was radiating from his body... but he determined that time would tell them the answer.

The next thing the crystal ball showed them was Rainbow, Applejack, and Gale landed on the edge of the Lookout, meaning that they were going to confront Super Buu, in the fighting sense, and likely get annoyed with him over the fact that he had just devoured everyone that had been on the Lookout.


When Rainbow, Applejack, and Gale reached the top of the Lookout, and landed in the area that Goten and Trunks had performed their failed fusions in, they all noticed that certain parts of the palace had been damaged by something recently. That was before they noticed Super Buu sitting among some of the wreckage, eating some pieces of chocolate that he had acquired, though how he acquired them made the sisters raise their eyebrows as they approached the creature. After a few seconds Super Buu swallowed the rest of the bar he was chewing on and turned towards them, though when he actually noticed who was coming towards him, however, he growled as he stood up.

"Super Buu, is something wrong?" Gale asked, hoping to continue playing nice with their opponent, while she and her sisters tried to figure out what they were going to do with Super Buu.

"You lied to me." Super Buu stated, pointing a finger at the sisters for a moment, almost as if he was accusing them of sending them after an inferior opponent, but they were thankful that he hadn't destroyed the Lookout yet.

"What are you talking about?" Rainbow inquired, as she and her sisters knew that Goku had promised Majin Buu an opponent that would give him the fight of his life, which was what Gotenks was supposed to be, but it appeared that their foe didn't much care for the other fusion warrior, "We didn't lie to you. Gotenks was the warrior that Goku promised you earlier today."

"Fighting him was interesting while it lasted, but he wasn't the promised warrior," Super Buu replied, to which his frown turned into a smile as he looked at Rainbow and Applejack, though at the same time the girls suspected that their secret had been blown, "Raijack... the fusion between Rainbow Dash and Applejack... she IS the promised warrior that I have been seeking. Come, bring her forward so that we may do battle."

Rainbow and Applejack looked at each other for a few seconds, knowing that the only way for Super Buu to know about the existence of their fusion state was if Gotenks had revealed the information to their opponent, though by the sounds of it they had to guess that Gotenks had spilled the beans. It appeared that they had no choice in the matter, as Gotenks had been defeated and Gohan was nowhere in sight, to which they glanced back at Super Buu for a few seconds... before they jumped backwards and landed with the required distance between them. As they raised their arms, and prepared themselves to get started on performing the Fusion Dance, a surge of blue energy ripped through the air near the right side of the palace... leaving what appeared to be a hole between two dimensions in its place.

The group looked at the hole for a few seconds as Piccolo and Gotenks jumped out of it, though as the hole sealed itself Rainbow and Applejack discovered that Gotenks was much stronger than they had originally thought... because he was currently in the Super Saiyan 3 state, which he could have only learned form Goten and Trunks watching their fathers ascend to that state.

"So, you escaped from the other dimension as well." Super Buu commented, though Rainbow and Applejack could tell that he was bored, which explained why he had used his power to escape from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

"Of course I did, because I'm just that awesome." Gotenks replied, though before he got serious he noticed something that annoyed him, to which he flew over to Rainbow and Applejack and tapped their outstretched arms, "No no no NO. There's no need for the two of you to bother fusing and calling Raijack into this battle... I'm still more than enough to deal with Super Buu."

"NO!" Super Buu shouted, walking over to where they were standing and grabbed onto Gotenks' shoulder, pulling him away from the pony girls for a moment, while at the same time causing Rainbow and Applejack to lower their arms in confusion, "You may have interesting abilities, but there's no excitement to be had when I'm fighting you. I want to see this Raijack, and her power, for myself."

"And I keep telling you that I'm more than enough to deal with YOU!" Gotenks shouted in return, to which he grabbed onto Super Buu's arm, spun around for a moment, and sent his opponent flying into the palace, breaking a part of it off while he sent Super Buu flying through the air.

Gotenks followed Super Buu through the air and started throwing punches and kicks at his opponent's head and chest, in a rapid succession that would have left any ordinary fighter dazed and wanting to forfeit the match, while at the same time Super Buu growled in annoyance. After a few moments of taking Gotenks' abuse Super Buu started dodging the attacks by utilizing his body's ability to stretch, allowing him to eventually grab his opponent's outstretched leg and grin. That was then followed by Super Buu spinning around and throwing Gotenks downwards, where he went flying through the middle of the Lookout with enough force to come out the other side and still have the speed to continue towards the planet below them.

Super Buu flew down to the Lookout for a moment, beckoned for the pony girls to follow him, and sped off towards wherever Gotenks had landed, because he wanted them to see him break the other fusion warrior... before he had them transform into Raijack.

When they reached the area that Gotenks had been thrown towards, and discovered that it was a rather large lake, Rainbow and her sisters, along with a worried Piccolo, floated nearby as Super Buu floated over the water, searching for his current opponent. While he did that Gotenks slowly, and rather silently, emerged from the water before jumping into the air, to which he held his hand into the air, called his next attack the 'Brain Crush Hammer', and released a burst of ki into the air that brought itself down on Super Buu's head and effectively cut him in two. Gotenks cheered for a few seconds before using his so called 'Finish Flash' attack and blew up the two halves of Super Buu, leaving nothing but pink fragments behind.

A few seconds later the fragments started spinning around Gotenks, eventually forming into a pink band that got smaller and smaller as it approached Gotenks, until it wrapped around him like a snake... with the lower part of Super Buu's body acting like the tail and the upper part of his body being the head. Super Buu then went flying towards the nearest plateau as he crushed Gotenks, though when he got close to the rocks he released his hold on his opponent and sent him flying into the rock wall. A few moments later, after Super Buu had returned his body to normal and Gotenks had pried himself from the wall, Gotenks declared that he had another move to show off, one that was called 'Super Balloon Bomber' and was him blowing a large ball of ki into existence above Super Buu's head.

When the ball exploded, and blinded Super Buu for a few seconds, the group noticed that a large number of ghostly Gotenks were floating around Super Buu, who started to avoid touching them before one of them slammed into his face... allowing the other ones to collide with his body and detonate their payload.

A few moments later, when the smoke cleared, the group bore witness to the damage that had been done to Super Buu's body, leaving him in a painful withering state again, before Gotenks kicked him into the ground and taunted his opponent. The taunt was quickly followed by a rapidly restored Super Buu flying up to the level that Gotenks was at, while at the same time the girls could tell that he was definitely annoyed with the younger warrior. When Super Buu attacked Gotenks, however, the younger warrior avoided the attack and headed into the plateau area behind him, as if he was trying to lose Super Buu for a moment... though eventually Super Buu caught up and grinned, while the others moved in to see what was happening.

That was when Super Buu blasted Gotenks in the face, sending him flying back into the air with enough force to smash into the Lookout, effectively splitting the entire structure in two... and destroying one of those halves in the process. As Gotenks regained himself, and Piccolo silently mourned the destruction of the palace, Super Buu maneuvered his body until he resembled a ball, to which he flew down towards the ruined structure and aimed at Gotenks, though when he missed he simply damaged more of the structure. This went on for a few moments, with Super Buu aiming at his opponent and missing several times, before the entirety of the Lookout was nothing more than a floating pile of rubble... though that was when Gotenks knew that it was time to stop playing around.

Gotenks held his hands out for a moment, with both of his palms facing the approaching Super Buu, before he released his 'Continuous Super Donuts' and shot out three ki rings that wrapped around Super Buu's ball form, to which he tightened them and trapped him in a ball made from those rings. He turned towards his watchers and told them that he was going to inflict a lot of damage on Super Buu with his 'volleyball' technique and that he required their assistance, to which they actually played volleyball for a few seconds... before Gotenks flew higher into the air and struck the ball with all his strength, sending it flying down towards the ground.

The group then descended towards the ground and found a large crater resting where the ball containing Super Buu had landed, indicating that the damage had been what Gotenks had told them it was going to be, but at the same time they kept their eyes open for their opponent.

"Come on out Super Buu." Gotenks called out, knowing that Super Buu was hiding in the ground somewhere, as if he was biding his time or something, while at the same time he was aware of how much time he had left before his fusion ran out, "I can only stay this ridiculously powerful for a little while longer... and then I'll have to wait another hour before I can take on this form again."

"Great, and now Super Buu knows that the Fusion technique only lasts a certain amount of time and has an hour long wait time before it can be performed again," Rainbow commented, as even she knew that this wasn't the type of information that they wanted to be giving their opponent, because now Super Buu could flee and wait to fight Gotenks after he refused.

That was followed by Super Buu detonating the area around him, freeing him from the rocks that were all around him, though the group could see him standing in an area that have been smoothly leveled out and could tell that he was staring at all of them. Gotenks, on the other hand, got annoyed that Super Buu wasn't dead yet and started firing ki blasts down at him, calling this technique his 'Continuous Die-Die Missiles', which started destroying the area around his target when they hit Super Buu. He only stopped his assault when Piccolo pointed out that he could easily destroy one of the Dragon Balls and prevent them from returning the Earth to the way it had been before the awakening of Majin Buu... though as Gotenks stopped firing his missiles Super Buu erupted from the ground a fair distance away from where they were standing.

As Gotenks cheered about his ability to annoy Super Buu, and claiming that he was the strongest in the universe, Super Buu flew through the air, head butted Gotenks, and then latched onto him so he could dive bomb the ground and slam Gotenks into the rocks below them.

The group watched as Gotenks emerged from the ground and started engaging Super Buu in a fist fight, where the two of them flew into the ruined city that was near where they were fighting and started tearing the place up. Super Buu, once again, used his stretchy body to his advantage as he tried to strangle Gotenks in a hold, though Gotenks got out of it by biting into Super Buu's arm. Gotenks was then fooled into attacking Super Buu, who opened a hole in his stomach so Gotenks would go flying into the building behind him, though when Gotenks slowed himself down Super Buu flew up to him and slammed him into the structure, breaking it in the process. At one point when Gotenks flew at Super Buu, in an attempt to deal some damage, Super Buu opened his mouth and loosed a burst of energy that incinerated a good portion of the ruined city... though when the smoke cleared, and Gotenks was a little scorched, the fusion warrior growled and repeated the attack, incinerating the other half of the ruined city and Buu at the same time.

The two combatants then landed in the area near the city and continued their fight, throwing punches and kicks at each other once more as they moved throughout the area... up until the moment when Gotenks' Super Saiyan 3 state timed out, causing him to revert to his base form.

"Our fight is over," Super Buu stated, allowing his body to mend itself and put everything back where it belonged, while at the same time an idea formed in his head, especially since he had no idea how powerful Raijack was supposed to be, "Go ahead and defuse... and then get out of my way so I can fight Raijack."

It was at that point that Super Buu kicked Gotenks into the nearest rock wall, though a few seconds later Goten and Trunks emerged from the wreckage, both shocked by the fact that their fusion had worn off and worried about themselves when they saw the frown on Super Buu's face.


Goku, Shin, and Kibito had been carefully watching the match between Super Buu and Gotenks, where Goku was both proud and annoyed by the fact that Gotenks was able to ascend to the Super Saiyan 3 state, something that took him and Vegeta years to master. He and Shin agreed that Super Buu had likely fought Gotenks in an effort to make him defuse, so he could turn his attention to Raijack, who would be a more interesting opponent in his mind. Gotenks put forth all of his energy to kill Super Buu, who was trying to do the same thing, even going so far as to allow the Lookout to be destroyed and have an entire empty city wiped off the map during the course of their fight, which actually seemed to be turning in Gotenks' favor as the seconds ticked by.

When Gotenks' Super Saiyan 3 form timed out, and he was knocked back into being Goten and Trunks, Goku became worried for the two youngsters, to which he got up and faced the hill that Gohan and the Old Kai were sitting on.

"I don't mean to sound rude or disrespectful Old Kai, but how much longer will the power up process take?" Goku asked, while at the same time the Old Kai looked down at him as both Shin and Kibito glanced over in his direction, "Goten and Trunks were just knocked out of their fusion state and it looks like Super Buu might be getting ready to kill them."

"What a pickle those two are in all of a sudden," the Old Kai replied, to which he dropped his hands, pulled himself up onto his feet, and walked over to Gohan, where he gently placed a hand on his shoulder and shook him a little, "Gohan, its time for you to awaken and show us your hidden potential."

For a moment Goku thought that Gohan wasn't going to stir at all, because his son had been concentrating so hard on releasing his hidden potential that he could have been trapped in his meditation state, but he breathed a sigh of relief when Gohan opened his eyes. Gohan flexed his hands as he got onto his feet, indicating that he was surprised by what he could feel inside of him, before he turned his attention to the Old Kai for a moment.

"I thought that you said the power up process would take twenty-five hours." Gohan stated, as he was surprised that they could be done with the process, though he was looking for an answer before he did anything else.

"Well, I may have exaggerated when I said how long it would take," the Old Kai explained, though at the same time he collected the manga book he had been reading, which had been provided by Shin when he asked for something to read, and walked down the hill, "Twenty-five hours is generally the time I would give to someone that's impatient and is constantly interrupted by distractions, such as what's going on with Super Buu for instance. You, on the other hand, concentrated on emptying your mind and allowed me to draw out your hidden power much faster, hence the reason why we're finished in a timely manner."

"I... I see." Gohan said, as he hadn't considered the fact that his concentration had allowed them to finish that much faster, before he walked down to where his father was standing, "So, what's happening on Earth?"

"Gotenks couldn't finish off Super Buu and his fusion just expired," Goku replied, glancing down at the crystal sphere for a moment, seeing Super Buu approaching the youngsters, before looking back up at his son, "It appears that Super Buu might be planning on killing them, before moving onto Rainbow and Applejack, but we aren't sure what his true intentions are. It seems like he wants to fight Raijack, the fusion between the pony girls, but maybe the power you were granted will be able to do that without needing to have the girls do anything."

"His power should be enough to take Super Buu out," the Old Kai said, to which he turned towards Gohan, who turned his attention towards him for a moment, before he beckoned back to the hill they had been sitting on, "Go ahead, take a moment and experience the power that we have awoken inside you."

"Okay," Gohan said, to which he walked up towards the spot that he had been sitting in, feeling a little foolish for not staying there once the power up process had been complete, before a thought occurred to him, "um, how do I access the power that we have unlocked?"

"Its just like when you transform into your Super Saiyan form," the Old Kai replied, though at the same time a smile appeared on his face, "basically just do the same thing and you'll draw out the power we unlocked."

Gohan nodded and braced himself for a few seconds, to which he started releasing his power in the same manner that he would if he was transforming into his Super Saiyan state, releasing a burst of energy in every direction. The ground beneath him went from being grass to being dirt until the intensity of his power, while at the same time pushing the wind backwards as he let his father and the others feel his power. The ground and the water around them shook as well, indicating that his power was definitely much stronger than it had been when he started the power up process, before he reined in his power and let everything settle down.

"So, how do you feel?" the Old Kai asked, causing Gohan to look at him again, with a look of amazement in his eyes, which in turn made the Old Kai grin for a moment.

"In... Incredible." Gohan answered, as he was shocked by the power he was feeling, because he now had the strength to deal with Super Buu and prevent the destruction of Earth at the same time.

"That's good to hear," Shin commented, causing everyone to look at him as they gathered near the tree, "Gohan, Kibito and I have agreed that he will get you close to where Super Buu is fighting at the moment, allowing you to save Goten and Trunks before something terrible befalls them. If you get there quick enough Super Buu will likely consider taking you on instead of focusing on Rainbow and Applejack, meaning that you'll be able to save the world without needing them to fuse. I know that not fighting Super Buu will upset them, but we cannot chance him becoming any stronger than he already is at this point in time."

"I see," Gohan said, taking a moment to embrace his father, who wished him good luck on his up coming fight, before stepping up to Kibito, where he remembered something and looked at the Old Kai for a few seconds, "Old Kai... thanks for unlocking my hidden potential for me."

The Old Kai was a little shocked by Gohan's words, as most of the warriors he had done that for, which was a low number he reminded himself, never bothered to thank him before they departed from his presence. Instead of saying anything the Old Kai nodded his head towards Gohan and gave him a thumbs up, just like his father was doing. He then watched as both Gohan and Kibito disappeared a few seconds later, which meant that they were heading back to Earth so Super Buu could be stopped.


Rainbow smiled as Gotenks finally defused and returned to being Goten and Trunks, because that meant that it was finally her and Applejack's turn to fight Super Buu and show him the power of their fusion. She knew that Applejack would want to beat Super Buu quickly, and she completely agreed with her sister, but at the same time she already knew that Raijack would take a few minutes to show off before she started taking her opponent apart. Before the two of them could drop down into the area that Super Buu was standing in, and start the fusion technique, they all felt a new ki suddenly appear in the area surrounding them. Goten and Trunks had to wonder who the ki belonged to, because it was fantastic and unlike anything the two of them had felt, while Piccolo wondered if it was a friend or foe... but Rainbow and Applejack knew who was coming towards them.

It was then that Rainbow let out a sigh, because she had been looking forward to actually fighting Super Buu and now her chance had been ruined... all because Gohan had picked this exact moment, before she and Applejack could fuse, to show up on their radars.

A few seconds later Gohan appeared in the sky above them and surged towards where they were standing, to which he maneuvered himself through the air and landed between Super Buu and the two kids, where Goten and Trunks retreated while they cheered for Gohan's sudden return. Piccolo was surprised by the fact that Gohan had returned, especially with the fact that he was wearing his father's gi and not the gi he had been wearing during the tournament, though he was still shocked by the power he was feeling. Gale smiled for a moment, because she was happy to see that Gohan was okay, though she already knew that Rainbow was annoyed and wondered what Gohan was going to do to Super Buu with his new power.

Super Buu, on the other hand, appeared to be absolutely annoyed, meaning that he had been hoping to fight Raijack and hated that the battle he wanted to be a part of was going to be pushed back even further.

"Thank goodness that I'm in time," Gohan said, glancing back to take stock of who was alive and who was dead, before turning his gaze back to Super Buu, "What about mother and the others?"

"Killed by Super Buu." Piccolo stated, knowing that the death of his loved ones would drive Gohan forward, meaning that Super Buu was screwed and that Rainbow and Applejack wouldn't need to concern themselves with fighting anymore, "He turned them all into chocolate bars and ate them after he escaped from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber."

Gohan growled as he heard the news, because if Dende was dead than there was no way to reverse the damage that Super Buu had caused to the planet, but before he got too angry he focused his mind and could feel a faint ki, meaning that there was someone else that was alive on the planet. Once he determined that someone else was alive he started walking towards Super Buu, knowing that this was likely going to be the end for his opponent and that there was nothing Super Buu could do to stop him. A few seconds later he stopped in front of Super Buu and smirked at him, though at the same time his opponent smiled as well, but he had to wonder what Super Buu was feeling at the moment... especially since he had interrupted his incoming fight with Raijack.

"Don't tell me that you plan on fighting me." Super Buu stated, because he wanted all of these fools to get out of his way so he could battle Raijack, but at the same time he was forming an idea that would turn the tide in his favor.

"Oh, I'm not here to fight you," Gohan replied, his smirk staying on his face as he looked at Super Buu, who was already growing annoyed with him, "I'm here to kill you."

"You? Kill me?" Super Buu asked, though that was when he chuckled for a few seconds, which told the others that he must have remembered when Majin Buu fighting Gohan, "You are the fool I sent flying when we fought earlier today. The only thing that will be happening is me blowing you away again... and then I can fight Raijack without any interruptions."

It was at that point that Gohan released a bit of his ki, surprising everyone by the power up he had acquired, before kicking Super Buu's feet out and causing him to fall, which was followed by Gohan spinning around and bringing the back of his fist into his opponent's cheek. As Super Buu regained his footing, and realigned his face, Gohan jumped forward and kicked him in the face, sending him even further away from where Piccolo and the others were standing, before landing behind his opponent. This time Super Buu spun around and threw a punch at Gohan, who simply turned around and caught the attack with his left hand, stopping Super Buu in his tracks for a moment... and then followed that up by kicking Super Buu in the face and then punching his exposed stomach.

Super Buu growled as he regained his composure, before he went on the offensive and started throwing a variety of punches and kicks at his opponent, though all Gohan did was either parry his attacks like they were nothing or outright block them with the same attack to nullify them instantly. It annoyed Super Buu, because he had been so close to facing Raijack and had his opportunity taken from him twice, once by Piccolo trying to lock them in that other dimension and the second time was because of his current opponent. Now that he was fighting Gohan, however, he had an idea of how strong his desired opponent had to be, which told him that his current form wouldn't be able to stand up to Raijack's power... even if he was able to get the girls alone so they could perform their fusion.

Still, Super Buu found a bit of knowledge that made him smile, as he had formed a plan in his head that would allow him to remove the pests that were in his way and get the power to fight Raijack on equal footing at the same time... he only needed a chance to put the plan into action and then he would be having the time of his life.
