(New Intro!)
Amidst a torn and broken landscape, Goku proceeds to walk forward with a fierce look of determination on his features. Image of his latest battles flashes above before he transforms into a Super Saiyan. Spike lands beside his master. The top portion of his Gi is gone to allow two new sets of wings to expand from his back. He is noticeably taller and more muscular than before. Images of the remaining dragons and Ember roll by as his aura flares. It is now green with a shimmering gold outline. On Goku's left, an alicorn sharing some aspect of Scootaloo's features lands. She is as tall as Princess Celestia with a vibrant wingspan as long as Spike's. Flashes of the elements having a slumber party with the crusaders appear. Her aura flared out along with her magic as the trio came to a stop. The trio glare into a miasma as Majin Buu emerges with Cozy sitting on his shoulder and several shadow figures behind them.
On The Supreme Kai planet, Gohan vigorously trains with the Z sword under the watchful eyes of Kibito and Supreme kai. However, the sword begins to emit a bright light before the appearance of an Elder Supreme kai shocks the group. He holds his hand towards the boy as Gohan releases a bellow while his aura towers into the sky. Back on Equis, Chrysalis scoffs at the new Changeling kingdom as she starts to turn away. However, Ocellus grabs her hand and pleads with the former queen. The little nymph points to the ominous aura in the distance. Chrysalis features soften for a moment before she sighs and flies off. Elsewhere, Sombra holds a box containing stone fragments while he stares at them somberly. A hand grips his shoulder as he turns to his wife and daughter. He hugs them before his loving smile turns stoic at the glow over the horizon. He breaks the hug and flies over to it.
Sombra and Chrysalis land next to Goku's group as they power up. The shadows behind Buu begin to morph into a lanky shape as it smiles sinisterly at our assembled heroes with red eyes. It crosses its arms as its clothes flowing in the wind with the prominent Majin insignia upon its belt shines. However, several shadows from behind our heroes as well. The first is of a boy sporting a cocky smile before a golden aura forms around him. Next to him were various other creatures native to Equis. Finally, another figure with spiky hair floats to meet the other shadow. The gleam of its earrings catches the light as the opposing forces face each other. Buu made silly gestures with his tongue while Cozy flashes a cute smile before it turns manic. Goku narrows his eyes but sports a confident smile as he becomes a Super Saiyan 3 and leads the charge.
[Earth - Kami's Lookout - Third person POV.]
SpI-Roh let out a monstrous roar as he leaped into the air and came down hard on Spike and Ember's position. The dragonlord acted quickly and erected a shield with the wand—the protection cracks on impact, causing Ember to grunt in the effort. However, Spi-Roh raises his free hand and smashes through the shield. Ember's eyes widened as the drakes fist came closer. Thankfully, Spike caught it by the wrist and torques his body with Spi-Roh's momentum. Thus, it tossed their enemy away. Spi-Roh, in turn, launches a blast from his maw mid-flight. Spike and Ember returned the gesture by firing from their maws. The dark dark attack won as Spike and ember broke off. The
"You're in for a wild ride!" Spike said, flexing his claws. "Claws of the Emerald Dragon!!!"
Spi-Roh walks forward, easily dodging all of Spike's blade with little effort. However, Ember slips in between one of the stray blades and charges Spi-Roh. The bloodstone scepter glowed as Ember leveled it to Spi-Roh's face and spoke sternly. "By order of the Dragonlord, I command you to kneel!"
"..." Spi-Roh stares blankly at Ember but otherwise does not move.
"Kneel!!!" Ember spoke more forcefully while Spi-Roh continued to stare. However, what came as a shock was that Spi-Roh followed the command and bent the knee.
"T-that worked?" Spike said in disbelief. He stared at his double for a time before Spi-Roh peers back at him with that sadistic smile still present. "No, EMBER!!!"
Suddenly, Spi-Roh's hand shot out and grabbed the bloodstone gem. Ember stares back at him in shock and horror as Spi-Roh whispers to her. "I guess laziness is a bloodline trait of Torch. He tried the same thing against me in one of our fights. I laughed in his face as I gave him a few new scars for this brand of stupidity," Rearing back, Spi-Roh slashes his claws upwards and destroys the scepter and Ember's armor. The dragonlord lets out a howl of pain as she flies back into Spike's arms. "I mean losing all will to some shiny gem? How pathetic! If you were a real dragon, you would keep the others in line with your power alone!"
"S-Spike...!" Ember grunted out.
Spike stares down the three slashes on her belly with a growing rage. They were shallow, but the thought of anyone hurting his mate made his blood boil. "...You bastard! I'll KILL YOU!!! ."
"There's that fiery temper I love so much~," Spi-Roh mocked as Spike charged him.
"Dragon Soul Mode!!!" Extending his Ki-infused fist, Spike thrust it forward, only for Spi-Roh to catch his fist while his aura suddenly cuts out. That same aura now surrounded Spi-Roh. "...What...?!"
Spi-Roh condescendingly wags his finger as he tightens his grip on Spike's hand, forcing the drake to one knee. "Didn't I tell you already? You won't get a free pass at using MY power!" Bringing up his free hand, Spi-Roh throws a punch directly at Spike's face. The force knocks him into Ember as the two skidded across the floor toward the entrance. Spi-Roh slowly stalks to the two dragons as Spike struggles to stay awake. "How incredibly disappointing. I would've thought an aspect of me would be more challenging than this. Then again, you are my lesser half. Oh, well," Spi-Roh stops before his opponents as he grabs them by the neck and starts squeezing. "I guess I can have my fun watching the life drain from your eyes,"
Panic began to feel Spike's being. No matter how hard he tried, Spike couldn't call on his reserve power. At the same time, Ember couldn't focus, thanks to the wounds she received. In the act of desperation, Spike brought two fingers to the side of his forehead. "Solar Flare!!!" The technique thankfully came out as Spi-Roh took the full brunt of it and loosened his grip. Ember took the opportunity to kick Spike's doppelganger away as Spike picked her up and headed for the doorway. "Come on!!!" Looking back, Spike saw that Spi-Roh was charging them despite being blinded. Ember fires a small blast to get her and Spike through the door. They both landed outside before Spike scrambles to his feet and shuts the door back just as Spi-Roh reaches out for him. Dende and Mr. Popo were instantly at their side as Spike slid down the door in exhaustion. However, Spike felt a haunting chill run down his spine as Spi-Roh seemingly whispered through the door.
"...You can only dodge me for so long..."
"Hold on, I'll heal you," Dende said.
"It would seem that encounter did not go well," Mr. Popo said.
"That's putting it mildly," Spike mutters as Dende finishes up on Ember and moves to him. "...We couldn't even touch him. He destroyed the bloodstone scepter and nearly killed us! How can I beat someone that can take my power away!?"
"Did he take your power away? Or, did you allow him to?" Piccolo suddenly said.
"What? I didn't let him! One moment, I had Ki, and the next, it was around him. I barely managed a solar flare before we escaped,"
Piccolo shakes his head at this. "If that were the case, then you would be dead right now. It may seem like you're helpless, but that is because you believe it. Think of the moments that lead to your weakness. Think of the moment you first felt a change within yourself. Once you do that, the answer to this problem will become clear. I suggest you meditate on this before you re-enter the room,"
[Manehattan.]
"Interesting, for a big metropolitan city, the streets are surprisingly clean and empty," Gera stated as the trio walked through the streets. Sometime during the diner incident, the city officials issued an emergency broadcast to the population. This action sparked a mass evacuation.
"The city is usually slow this time of year, but never that for now. Mister Buu, we need to talk about something," Cozy said, turning to Buu, who was carrying a tower of pies in his hands.
Buu places one in his mouth and swallows it whole. "Hmm?"
"Now, I understand that some of those ponies were mean. But, we can't expect to make more friends if you turn them all into sweets,"
"Why would Buu make friends with big meanies?"
"That's why you got me as your friend," Cozy lands on Buu's shoulder while shooting him a smile. "I can tell which creatures aren't being friendly, and I will let you know who should get turned into candy. We must know the difference. Otherwise, we'll miss out on important experience having a lot of friends can give us,"
"Hmm, okay," Buu said.
Cozy claps her hands as she flies over to Gera's shoulder. "See that? Now I got Mister Buu wrapped around my hooves. Any creature I say is unfriendly will regret it. Got it?"
"It certainly seems that way. You've proven to be an excellent manipulator,"
Cozy crunches her snout at Gera as she flies off. "Come on, Mister Buu; I'll show you where to get Manehattan's best donuts--"
Right before she could finish, an energy blast pierces through Majin Buu's belly and explodes down the street. Buu looks down in confusion as he spies the massive hole in his belly. "If you're looking for the ones that turned you into a donut, we're right here," A new voice said. Buu looks down the street to find four new faces.
"Oh, and who are you four?" Gera asks. There was a certain sparkle in her eyes as she beheld the newcomers. 'These aren't any ordinary fighters. There Ki seems different than usual, almost as is
"Yeah, and why would you do that to Mister Buu!? Can't you see how rude that was!?" Cozy scolded.
"Ha. Today is only the beginning of a bay day for you, Majin Buu! What do you say we introduce ourselves?" The boy said as he thrust two fists into the air. "Tadaaaaaa!!!" He bends his knees and thrusts his arms out to the right with flat palms. "Gotenks!"
The seapony next to Gotenks did three backflips in the air before stood on one leg while one arm pointed to the sky with the other told to the builds. "Sand Stream!"
At the end of the lineup, the yak hybrid does a short hop that cracks the down while clapping her hands. She performed a similar pose as Gotenks as she snorted a gust of air from her snout. "We're Ocena!!!"
The last member of the ground breathed out a stream of fire above her head before taking Sand Stream's pose, bt facing away from the pony. "Galder!!!"
Sand Stream, Galder, and Gotenks all jump into the air as Ocena holds up her palms. Sand Stream and Galder land on Ocena's hand with one leg each while point a Majin Buu. Gotenks lands on their free palms as he crosses his arms against his chest before forming two peace signs. "Watch out, Buu! The fusion force has come for you!!!" All four fusion said in perfect unison.
Gera covers her mouth in an attempt to suppress a giggle while Cozy shoots the group of warriors a deadpan stare. Majin Buu looks confused for a moment before he returns to eating one of his pies. "Did you four say fusion force?" Cozy asks.
"That's right. We're an elite group of fused fighters here to take you down!" Gotenks said with a cocky tone.
"That would explain your voices and the duel energy signatures I am picking up from you all. Fascinating. How did you do it? Was magic involved, or is this a new technique?" Gera asks, inching closer to the group.
Galder snorts at the question as to the fusion disembark off their posing. "We're not here to answer your questions. You're going to pay for what you did to the dragons!!!"
"And the ponies of Manhattan!" Sand Stream added.
"And being an ugly tub of lard," Gotenks snarks.
"Hmm? Ugly? What does that mean?" Buu asks.
"They're saying that you have a face a mother would undesirable," Gera said.
"Don't worry about them, Mister Buu; they aren't friendly," Cozy comforted.
"So, is it okay to eat them up?" Buu asks.
"Have at it, Buu. I am sure these are the warriors' Son Goku was eluding to during your fight," Gera reminded. "Although, I don't think he's taking you seriously since he sent a group of children to face you, Buu,"
"Don't worry, Cozy. We'll save you," Sand Stream stated,
"Why would you save me from my friend? Did head mare Twilight ask you? Well, I don't need it. And my new best friend, Mister Buu, would like a few words with you about manners!" Sand Stream appeared hurt while the others frowned.
Buu growls as he tosses his pies away. "You all mean to Buu and Buu's friend. Now, Buu's going to hurt you real!"
"Well, look at that, we agree!" Gotenks stated. Galder shot forward before anyone else and tackled Buu in his stomach. Buu's belly distends backward as the two flies down the street. Buu plants his feet as they dig huge trenches into the asphalt. Raising his hands, Buu prepared to slam it down on the dragon hybrid, but the water quickly binds his hands as Sand Stream zooms overhead. Buu looks up at the seapony dragging him and flicks his antenna. However, Gotenks stomps his feet on Buu's face as he begins to body surf the pink terror. "Woo-hoo!!!"
They reach the city's coastline as Gotenks flips off Buu, whose Sand Stream dumps in the water. In the water, Buu wears an expressionless as he floated there. However, Buu catches a shift in the water current. Something that should not happen in the port of the city. But, Buu felt his body constrict as the water pressure squeezed him from all sides. Sand Stream floated in front of Buu with a smirk on his face. The fusion wrenched, Buu's body suddenly twisted up like a rag. Sand Stream's smirk died as Buu's expression remained unchanged. Flexing his Ki, Buu breaks out of the current and flies toward the seapony. However, Ocena enters the water as a seapony and morphs her hands into two giant spiked balls. She slams Buu onto the ocean floor as she pulls back. Buu was buried in the crevice before he slowly stood up. However, Sand Stream morphs the water into a large block of ice, crushing Buu under the weight. The two hybrids nodded at each other as they headed for the surface. Sand Stream weaves his hands again to form a circle around Buu's location. Next, Galder appears in the air with Gotenks as she spreads her wings out. The feathery appendages burst into flames while Gotenks gathers his ki in both hands.
"Ready for some fireworks?" Gotenks asks.
"Let's light the skies! Rain Fire!!" Galder shouted.
"Die-Die, Missile Barrage!!!" Gotenks exclaimed.
The two attacks fell upon Buu's position as the ice chunk evaporated from the heat of the blasts. The two fusions continued planting for a solid minute as the water churned from the shockwaves. Finally, Gotenks signals to stop. The four watched the water flow into the crater courtesy of Sand Stream. "So, did we get him?" Sand Stream asks.
"Wasn't that too easy?" Ocena asks.
"He hasn't come back up yet. maybe he drowned?" Galder offers.
"I'd say we sunk that chump-- Huh?" Gotenks said, noting the bubbling water as they increased in volume. Suddenly, Majin Buu shot out of the water. However, only his lower half floated before them. "Waah!? It's Buu's butt!!!"
"How the hay is it just floating there?" Galder asks. It wasn't until the bottom began to twitch that every went on edge. After a moment, Buu's upper half pops out. "What the?'
"That's freaky," Sand Stream stated.
"How are we suppose to stop him? Ocena stated.
"Don't worry about it. We just got to blast until there's nothing left," Gotenks said.
"Ahahaha, it's Buu turn now!"
"Yeah? Why don't you try, tubby!" Gotenks taunted.
Buu frowns before rearing back both of his arms. A second later, they stretched to impossible lengths, catching the fusion warriors off guard. Galder and Sand Stream saw a straight punch from Buu while he was twenty meters away, knocking them into two buildings. Gotenks jumped onto Buu's arm and began running towards him as Ocena teleported. Jumping off, Gotenks went for a roundhouse, but Majin Buu retracts his head into his body as the boy sails past him. Gotenks wore a shocked expression until Buu backhanded him. Ocena reappears and morphs her hand into a ball of quills, launching them at Buu. The quills stuck Buu's body, but the Majin absorbs them through his skin and fires them back to Ocena. Her quills struck, and, just like Trunks at the tournament, she became paralyzed. Buu moves to finish the job. However, Galder reappears and takes a deep breath before a beam shot from her maw. Buu pulls back at the last second. The blast erased both of Buu's arms as Galder tried her attack again. However, Buu did the same only a stream of hot air canceled out Galder's attack and blew the dragon hybrid to the street.
Sand stream and Gotenks return as the Saiyan fusion engages Buu in a rapid exchange of blows. Sand Stream waved his hands as the water flowed up into his hand and formed a giant disc. "Gotenks, break off!"
Gotenks kicks off off Buu's head as the seapony launches the water disc. Buu sees it coming and flicks his antenna forward. His beam collides with the water as it turns into taffy and proceeds to suck it up. Looking at the two, Buu shoots a devilish grin as he sends his antenna beam at the two. Gotenks and Sand Stream panic as they run away with the seapony wrapping a water strand around his wrist and using his superior speed. However, Buu's attack followed them even as Sand Stream started weaving between buildings. Gotenks fires numerous Ki blasts at the beam, but it merely barrelled through them.
"It's getting closer. I can't stop it!" Gotenks stated.
"What do we do?!" Sand Stream said in a panicked tone.
"Hang on!!!" Galder said, tackling Buu. Though it broke Buu's connection, the beam still sailed forward, inches away from Gotenks and Sand Stream.
Just then, a teleport off, and Ocena took the blast. The other fusion warriors watched in horror as their friend morphed into a cookie sharing Ocena's features. "OCENAAAA!!!!!" Sand Stream hollers as he pulls the cookie to him. Galder rejoins the trip just as Majin Buu appears again.
"You! What did you do?!" Galder spat with flames leaving her maw.
Majin Buu merely laughs with the same sadistic grin. "Don't worry. Buu will make you all tasty snacks to go into Buu's belly together!"
[Meanwhile - Kami's Lookout.]
Spike sat in a meditative pose with Ember beside him. They were performing some mental image training to better prepare for another encounter with Spi-Roh. However, Ember had a much better time than Spike did. He could still hear Spi-Roh taunts no matter how hard he tried to block them out. Whatever Spike came up with, Spi-Roh would read and have a counter for it since they share the same body and mind. Spike let out an exasperated snarl as he threw up his arms in frustration. This reaction, of course, broke Ember's concentration as she looked toward her mate.
"Spike. It's hard enough doing this mind training stuff with you grunting and growling," Ember said in an annoyed.
"Sorry. But, Spi-Roh's in my head; he'll know about any strategy I come up with and counter it. What about you?" Spike asks.
"It's hard to imagine beating him after he broke my scepter..." The two sat in silence as Ember shouted out. "Argh! How did this happen anyway!?"
"I think it was back when we fought those centaurs, and they got a hold of you,"
"You mean feminine one had you all googly-eyed over him, and you tried to kill me?"
"Hey, I apologized for a whole month after that!"
"I find it strange you never follow my commands with the bloodstone scepter, but a pretty centaur comes along, and suddenly, you're head over heels for him,"
"His powers only worked because of the dragon balls!!!" Ember giggles at Spike's pouting. "Anyway, it was when you were in danger. My instincts went into overdrive, and something snapped in me. Then, it was like losing myself in an endless smog of smoke,"
"So, your desire to protect someone precious to you triggered the change," Piccolo suddenly said, approaching the two. "Sounds like you two might have more common than you might think,"
"Spike is nothing like Spi-Roh!" Ember hissed, getting into Piccolo's face. "He's a beast - plain and simple - driven by his desire and instincts. Spike cares!"
"But, it was my instincts that led to this..." Spike mutters with a realization. "He responded to me, or rather, my instinct responded, and I acted,"
Spike suddenly shoots up as he grips Ember on her shoulder. "Ember, I know how to beat him!" He pulled Ember back to the room as Piccolo watched on dumbfoundedly.
"Spike, what are you--"
"Ember, we when go back in, you can't interfere with the fight,"
"What!?"
"Trust me; I won't lose!" Ember reluctantly agreed, and the two ventured inside the room. Once again, the eerie smog and the smell of sulfur hit their snouts. Soon enough, Spi-Roh reappears again.
"So, back for more?"
"..." Ember went to speak, but Spike motions her to stop.
"Oh, come on, Spike. Don't go silent on me. I want to enjoy this time we have together before I snuff you out of my mind completely,"
"...I know what you are, and I know how to beat you!" Spike declares.
Spi-Roh arches a brow while maintaining his smirk. "Do you? I never was subtle about our standing, lesser. But, I would like to see you back up that other claim!"
Spi-Roh flickers in front of Spike and thrusts his claw out. Spike tilted his head to the side and brought up the back of his wrist against Spi-Roh's. The result knocked Spi-Roh away as Spike thrust his free hand into his double's chest. Spi-Roh stumbles back as Spike waits. Spi-Roh smirks as he charges in again, throwing multiple swipes at him. Spike, in turn, dips and weaves in between all of Spi-Roh's attempts to behead him before countering with another palm strike to his chest. This time, Spi-Roh looked back in confusion before rushing again. Spi-Roh winds up for a roundhouse but vanishes midstride to finish the attack from behind. However, Spike spins on his heel and throws a reverse roundhouse to counter. Spi-Roh flickers again, appearing in front with a Ki blast charged. But, Spike bats it away with his tail while producing a shockwave. Spi-Roh eyes widen as he jumps to safety. However, he quickly realized he was exposed and turn back to see Spike in the air. With his hands outstretched, Spike sent another shockwave, knocking Spi-Roh back to the floor. The dark drake recovers as spiderweb cracks formed beneath him. Spike lands with a natural expression while Spi-Roh begins to falter.
"What are you doing?"
"That's a weird question. I'm fighting you,"
Spi-Roh snarls at the coy response. "Don't get cute! You honestly think your little martial arts is enough?"
"It's working so far, isn't it?"
"NOT ANYMORE!!! Spi-Roh's aura flared out as it seemed to engulf the whole room. Ember braced herself against the vortex of power and cast a worried glance at Spike. But, her mate held his ground. The dark dragon charges at Spike a moment later as he cocks back his left fist and thrusts it forward. Spike's eyes narrowed as he did the same, however, the moment their fist connected. A red aura erupts from Spike's body. The force from their two punches canceled each other out. This action made Spi-Roh narrow his eyes as a growl escaped his mouth. "Kaio-Ken! That's your ace in the hole? I guess you get points for not using my power, but Scootaloo is better at using it. So, what now? At this rate, Twilight would be ruling Equestria before this stalemate is over--"
"You're missing the point. I told you I know what you are, and I know how to beat you,"
Spi-Roh scoffs as he jumps back. "Then explain it for the rest of the class,"
"Do you the difference between a king and its horse?"
"I'm guessing the obvious answer of one's royalty, and the other's a cart puller. Or, one has four legs, and the other two is wrong?" Spike nods as Spi-Roh rolls his eyes. "It boils down to a distinct characteristic that one has over the other; Instinct..." At the mention of that word, Spi-Roh froze up. The smug arrogance in his tone vanished as he frowned. Meanwhile, Spike couldn't keep back the smile on his person.
"If our form, ability, and power are the same, then why is one the king that leads and the other is the one that carries the king?"
"And you think I am the beast of burden for you!? Killer Instinct isn't what you have. It's all been me!"
"Yeah, you operate by instinct. Impulses and desire drive everything and anything you do. So, when I wanted to save Ember, you came out. If I was aggressive, you influenced it. If I was scared, you preyed on it. I let my worse instincts get the better of me, which let you get control. But, the path of true martial arts is honoring and mastering my instincts. Or, in other words, surpassing who I was yesterday!"
Spi-Roh's eye twitched erratically before shifting to Ember in the background. "I think you're starting to forget yourself, my lesser. You're talking like you've won. But, the one thing all my battles have taught me is that when your enemy has a weakness..." Suddenly, Spi-Roh fires a blast from his maw directly toward Ember. Spike saw this coming and flickers to her position. He puffs out his chest and thrusts his arms out. The massive fireball of death struck Spike's hands. He grunted from extortion while flexing his fingers. He could feel his heels scraping against the floor before he dug his claws into it for better footing. Spike wasn't sure what deflecting this attack would do to the lookout, so he opted for something crazier. Straightening his posture, Spike began to squeeze the ball of Ki. Spike's grunts only match the violent hum of the attack. However, after a solid minute of this, the ball began to contort. The shape morphed from a ball to an oval before it suddenly dispersed. However, this played right into Spi-Roh's hands. The moment Spike stops the attack, Spi-Roh appears in front of him. Without any hesitation, Spi-Roh drives his claw into Spike's chest. Ember watches on in horror as Spi-Roh speaks. "...Exploit it for all it's worth!"
"SPIKE!!!!!"
"Oh, quit your whining. I'll get to you; next, princess," Spi-Roh moves to freehand but finds it stuck. Turning back to Spike, Spi-Roh pulls harder, only for his hand to sink deeper into Spike's chest. "What!?" His arm sank in further as panic began to creep into the once arrogant dragon. "What are you doing? Let go!!!"
"You might find this weird, but I don't want to kill you," Spike said. Spi-Roh responds with a punch to his cheek. Unfortunately, his fist sank into Spike's face. "To destroy you would be to deny a part of myself. I would like to get to know you better,"
Spi-Roh grunted as he struggled to free himself, but to no avail. "THERE'S NOTHING TO KNOW EXPECT THAT I WILL GET FREE AND DESTROY EVERYTHING FACET OF YOUR LIFE!!!"
Spike didn't yell or threaten Spi-Roh back. Instead, he did something Spi-Roh never expected and hugged his dark counterpart. "I can accept your feelings as long as you can accept that I'll never let that happen. Goodbye for now, Spi-Roh..." With a defiant roar, Spi-Roh headbutts Spike, drawing some blood before fully receding into Spike's body. The smog that predominated the room began, and the sulfur smell began to dissipate as Spike's Ki flared outward before dying down. Ember took this time to cautiously approaches her mate.
"Spike?" Ember asks. "It better be you this time!" Spike turns to the dragonlord and gives her a thumbs up while flashing her a smile. However, he took one step towards her and collapsed to the guard. Ember was quick to his side. She was about to rebuke him when she noticed that Spike had fallen asleep. Ember signs in relief after checking him over, seeing that his injuries had healed. "You're a goofball, my emerald flame,"
[Back in Manehattan.]
Sand Stream attempts to evade Majin Buu with Ocena in tow after Buu barreled through the fusion warriors moments before. The intent on the evil Majin's face was clear; devour his friend turned treat. He was not going to let that happen. However, Majin Buu proved relentless when hunger. No matter how fast he went, the seapony hybrid could not shake the pink terror. Diving in the water crossed his mind, but he couldn't his ability to properly shield Ocena from the water. Stretching his arm again, Buu manages to grabs hold of Sand stream's legs and whirls him over his head before slamming the seapony to the ground. Sand Stream's breath left his body as Buu stalks toward him. Galder jumps in, slashing Buu across the stomach, splitting Buu into three pieces.
Following up, She spews fire over Buu's form, hoping to sear the flesh to prevent Buu from regenerating. Her efforts proved fruitless as Buu's fist burst from the flames and connected with Galders' stomach. The dragon hybrid flew across the street, crashing into a giftshop window. Buu turns his attention back to his prize as Gotenks lands on top of the Majin. Buu's head caves into his own body while he begins floating around, throwing punch after punch. However, Majin Buu's hand grips Gotenks arms as he uses the other to pull his head. Buu regards Gotenks for a moment before rearing back his free hand and connecting a hook against the boy's face. Gotenks sailed across the air, but Buu was on him in an instant, returning the assault the young Saiyan dealt him ten times over. The assault was vicious as Buu craved up the asphalt with Gotenks' frame.
"Sand Stream weakly struggles to his hooves while pleading to his friend turned pastry treat. "Ocena! Please changed back! We need to leave. Manehattan is getting destroyed!"
"..."
"S-sand Stream...!" Galder called out. She hovers over to her friend in a wobbly pattern before fall next to him. Sand Stream was instant to her side.
But, before he could assist her, a loud crash went off. Turning to the source, the two saw that Majin Buu flew through a skyscraper. He held Gotenks by the tattered remains of his vest as the boy was worse for wear. "Ah hahaha. Little boy all beat up. Maybe now you won't be so mean. Too bad you are about to go pow pow pow ow ow ow!!!" Cocking his fist back, Buu punches Gotenks back down to the others. Gotenks found himself embedded in the street as Buu celebrates.
"Owwwww!!!" Gotenks grunted.
"Gotenks!!!" Galder and Sand Stream called out, rushing to his side.
Buu landed in front of the three as his antenna shone with energy. "Now it's time for Buu to eat. Smores go great with warm milk!" But fires his beam as the fusion warriors panic. However, before the attack struck, Ocena's cookie started to glow. A moment later, a dome bursts out from the pastry, snuffing out Buu's attack in the process. The changeling/yak hybrid was back as she held her head in a daze. "Hey! No fair! You're not supposed to go back to normal! That makes Buu mad!!!" Buu brought his hand up as a large amount of Ki began to form.
"Ocena!!!" Galder and Sand Stream exclaimed in joy.
"...Whooa! I think we're going to skip sweets from now on," Ocena said with a groggy tone.
"Hey, we're about to be blown to bits. Get us out of here, now!" Gotenks reminded urgently. Ocena shakes her head clear as Buu fires his attack. Her horn glowed in vibrant light and teleported the fusion warriors, narrowly escaping disaster.
[Canterlot - Training Hall.]
Scootaloo was anxious. She paced back and forth while feeling out the battle. A few tremors shook the castle despite the vast distance from Manehattan. The remaining Z warriors and the equestrian were equally nervous, especially when the princesses got an emergency letter stating Manehattan's evacuation. Shining Armor took a contingent of guards to meet the refugees halfway to the city to aid their relocation. But, they were under strict orders not to engage Majin Buu. Applebloom and her herd mates walked over to their alpha mare to try and appease. Meanwhile, Twilight and the girls were in the Canterlot archives reverently studying every sealing spell they could find as a follow-up plan to stop Majin Buu.
"Geez, Scoots, you got to settle down," Applebloom stated.
"Yeah, you're wearing a trench on the marble floor," Diamond said.
"I should've stopped them. We only just got fusion down. Those kids still needed more training!" Scootaloo said, biting her finger.
"I'm sure they're doing fine," Sweetie Belle said with optimism.
"Yeah, it's like Goku said; fusion is unbeatable," Silver Spoon said with confidence.
"That doesn't mean they should've left so fast! I still had to teach the Kaio-ken. And, we don't know if Gotenks can go Super Saiyan in that state," Scootaloo argued.
"I know the unknown variables are plaguing you, Scootaloo. But, we must have faith in Goku and your teaching," Princess Celestia said.
"I know, but--"
"Quit your worrying. Those youngins are pretty smart. They'll know when to get out of dodge if things get hairy," Applebloom said.
"And should fusion indeed fails, Young Twilight is working on a solution to resealing the creature," Princess Luna stated.
Scootaloo went to speak when she felt a surge of magic in the air. The sound of a teleportation spell went off as the four fusions appeared before them. "Hey, they're back!" Yamcha stated.
"Whoa, it looks you guys took a beating. Good thing I have some Senzu beans ready," Krillin said.
"Well? Did you do it? Is Majin Buu defeated?" Master Roshi asks.
"..." None of the fusion spoke up as Galder, Sand Stream, and Ocena looked to Gotenks. The Saiyan fusion turned to the assembled group, fully showcasing his ruined clothing and swollen eye, as he rubbed his head sheepishly. "Well, he was a bit tougher than we thought. Hehe..." All at once, Scootaloo, the Z fighters, and the princess hit the ground in shock and disbelief.
