Part 8, Chapter 5: Imminent Disaster! Battle of the Buus

Hahaha! Hahah...!

D-Dark Ki...?! It hasn't been lifted yet...?!

This is bad! We're already at our limits!

Tch...! You're right, but he's not doing any better than us!

Yeah...! We just need to hold on to that thought!

Haaaaaaaa...!!

HAAAAA!!

GYAHAAA!!

Grh...?!

Kuh?!

Urgh! Damn...you...!!

Pft...!

He's this powerful, and yet he keeps stopping all of a sudden... He seems kind of unstable...

Pft...hahahaha!!

Hehe! Hohoho!!

No, he seems just fine to me!

Tch! Has he just been playing dumb this whole time?!

At this rate, it seems we'll be the ones running out of steam first...!

Take this!!

Wha-?!

Guh! What is it this time?!

Heh...!

...Tch! Even big Buu is...!!

Buu found Shallot～!!

Tch... This must be the Buu that just split off from the other one!

So there's two of him now... Well, this isn't good!

...Ngh? You dumb-dumb!

...Huh?

That tiny thing pretend to be Buu! I am real Buu!! Don't make mistake!!

U-Um... But we're not wrong?! I'm pretty sure you AND that shrimp are both Buu!

Shut up, shut up! Booooring! Buu don't listen!!

This... This is absurd...

Shallot!! This time, Buu get revenge!!

...! So you wanna go, huh?! Of course it would come to this!

...Hngh...

Oookay! Come on, Shall!

Kyaa!!

Bwaa?!

...Huh?!

W-What?!

Hmph!

Little Buu...just hit big Buu?!

So he's...our ally now...?

Hooooo!!!

Gaaaah?!

Huh?! Zahha?!

Hehehe...!

D-Damn...! I can't read him at all!

Hyaaaaa!!

Just what the hell are you?!

...GURGGHH...?!

?! Shallot! Your transformation! It's...!

W-What's going on?! I don't have any strength left in me...!

Hehehehehe!!

Hey! Buu fight with Shallot! Not you!!

Urgh?!

...Now it's big Buu?!

Come on! Let's fight, Shallot!

Ugh...!

Dammit...! I'm running on fumes here! Give me a break...!

He just won't give up, will he?!

Ugh, fine! Let's do it! I've got no choice, right?!

Ohhh?!

Haaa...!!! Haaaaa...!!

(...It's no good...! Just as I thought, there isn't enough power in Shallot's punches...!!)

Heheheh! Buu right! You super strong, Shallot!

But Buu still stronger than you! Hehehe!

Ugh... This guy's pissing me off...! He's running his mouth, just saying whatever he wants!

Haaa!!

Small Buu's back?!

Hyaaaa!!

Hgh?!

Nyaha! Haha!

Grrrrr!! Buu told you that this Buu's fight!! Go away!!

Y-You two...! Are you going to fight with each other or with me?! Pick one already...!!

SHUT UP! DON'T GET IN BUU'S WAY!!

WHAAAAT?!

Shallot, you idiot!! What are you doing?! Just let them fight amongst themselves!!

B-But!

While those two are fighting it out, they keep sending punches over here too!! It's pissing me off!!

L-Look, I get it! I got hit before too, but you need to calm down!

Everything's a bit chaotic right now, but we're on our last legs here... If they come for us, we're done!

Tch...!

BUU going to be the one to kill Shallot!

Gyaaa! Grr grr!! Kyaaa!!

It's actually for the best that those two are fighting! If we can just buy some more time...

More time for what?! We're still in the same crappy situation! Nothing's changed for us!

Of course it has! Use that small brain of yours for a second! If that big Buu that was thrown up's joined in too...

Then obviously, so will they...!

...Kamehame...!

...?!

HAAA!!

SPECIAL BEAM CANNON!!

...Hm?

Huh?

BWAAH?!

Those Ki blasts just now...!

O-Of course! Of course it's them!

Of course they'd wake up and show up to save us just in the nick of time!

Thanks for having our backs, you two!!

When we finally came to, we saw that both Buus were giving you a bit of trouble.

Are you both okay?

Their Ki...! They're way stronger than the Piccolo and Gohan that I know!!

I don't remember meeting you two, but it seems like you met us from a different era.

Yeah... But this isn't really the time for introductions, as much as I'd like to...!

I agree... Buu's regeneration ability's a pain, right?

Huh... You seem pretty knowledgeable about Buu!

Of course. Gohan and I were fighting Buu back in our era...

Though I have to admit, I didn't think I'd have to experience being absorbed by that freak.

You two are the ones who got us out of there, right?

That's correct... It doesn't feel right saying that you guys owe us anything in this type of situation... but please, lend us your strength...!

Hmph, what a roundabout way of asking for our help. But it's not like we're really in a position to refuse.

Exactly! We'll gladly help!

Pwaah～!!

Huu...!

...!

Who the heck are you...?! Don't get in Buu's way! Buu just wanna kill Shallot!!

Hahhah!!

Big Buu aside, little Buu's Ki seems ridiculously sinister...!

I don't know how long we can be of help against those two, but we'll give it everything we have!!

Hey, you in the blue clothes. You're a Saiyan just like Gohan, right? I can rely on Gohan to get the job done, but I wonder if you're up to par.

Don't worry! I can still keep going...!

I'd feel like crap if I just sat back and let you two do all the work anyway!!

...! That power! That's Super Saiyan 3!!

He can transform just like Dad! There's no way we'll lose now!!

Alright! Let's get back in gear!! We can't back down now!!

DYAAA!!!

DAAAA!!!

Gurgh...?!

Gegh...?!

I'm surprised...! I can't believe that someone other than Gotenks and Goku can transform into Super Saiyan 3!!

Heh! This is nothing... I've got way more power than just this!

But I couldn't believe it either! What's going on with Gohan's power?! He's not even in his Super Saiyan form!

This is the power I unlocked within myself in my era in order to take down Buu...!

So, even if it's a different era... there's no way I'll lose to Buu!!

Grrr...! Buu want to kill Shallot but...you keep getting in Buu's way...!!

...Grr grr grr!!

Hey, quit copying!!

...Huh...?

It's youuuur fault Buu can't fight Shallot!!

Buu could've killed Shallot by now! Why you have to show up?!

Haa?! Ragh! Raghraghraghraghrah!!

What?! Buu the angry one, dummy!

T-Those bastards...! They've gone back to ignoring us and fighting each other!

Their defenses are wide open! This is perfect!!

Dummy! Dummy! Dummyyyy! Say something, little shrimp!

Aaagh!! Gya! Gyaaaa!!

...No...this is...!

Dummy! Moron! Ugly! Buu...!! Buu really...!!

O-Oh crap...!! What's this Ki?!

T-This is bad!! Everyone, get back now!!

...What? What do you mea-?!

...BUU REALLY HATE YOUUUU!!!

Hu-?! W-Wai...!!

...BUU REALLY HATE YOUUUU!!!

Hehe...! Buu feel better...!!

...Keh keh...

...!

...Kukuku!!

Wha?! Y-You...! Stop it...!!

Hyaaa!!!

...!!

W-What happened?!

Zahha's transportation magic...?! He used his magic to transport us right when Buu attacked!

...Aaagh...!!

Zahha! Are you okay?!

J-Just as I thought...I really was scraping the bottom of the barrel... Now I'm really out of magic!

You idiot...! Why did you do that? You knew your body wasn't up to it...!!

Well...if I didn't act, then you all would have been caught up in Buu's attack as well...!

Dammit...! That damn Buu!! It wasn't enough to pick a fight, he had to blast everything away, too!

You got us out of there in the nick of time... You saved us!

...So now what?

It seems like those two are still fighting with each other but it'll likely end soon enough...

Grr... If there was a little more time, I could have moved us further away... But now there's no more time to run...!

I got no interest in running, anyway! I'll settle this here!!

Settle it, huh...

If there's a way to beat Buu, it's gotta be by taking him down with one huge Ki blast. That's the only way.

...But there's nowhere near enough time to gather that amount of Ki while taking both of them on...

One of us needs to act as a decoy and keep him busy...

Then I'll do it! I'm the one he's aiming for, anyways!

I don't know how much help I can be, but I'm glad to help Shallot...

No. Gohan and I will do it.

...

What?! Why?! Didn't you hear what I said?!

Look at you, you're exhausted. You wouldn't last a second.

More importantly...

With the plan we're going with, it's better that you go gather Ki while we distract Buu.

...The plan...?

URAAAGH!!

B-BWAAAA?!

Urgh...! Ha...ha...!

Sh...Sh...S-sh...! Sha...rot...!!

Shaarot!!

...? Sha...roo...t?

HAAA!!

...Huh?

Blegh?!

Rrr...rahaha...ha!!!

Hmph...! You were so focused on fighting big Buu that you didn't even sense me coming...

Shallot's already on the move...!

If you wanna find him, you'll have to take me down first!!

G...grrr...!! Gr...!!

GRAAAAH!!

(Perfect! Now I've got the little one's attention!!)

Well...? That's the plan... Think you can pull it off, Gohan?

Wait, so first I have to fight that small Buu by...myself?

Exactly. When you start fighting that mini Buu, that's when the plan begins.

Shallot will begin gathering Ki... And then I'll head over to that big guy...!

Hey wait a sec...! You're right that I can't be the decoy for the plan but...!

It's way too reckless right from the start, sending Gohan to fight that little dude by himself...!

...No, it's okay. I'll do it! This is precisely why I unlocked these powers back in my era in the first place...

"Defeat Majin Buu"... That's what Dad told me before I was sent here!

For the sake of my era, too... I have to be able to properly defeat Buu on my own!!

B-But that Buu...he's probably stronger than the one in your era...

It doesn't matter. You can't protect Earth if you run away with your tail between your legs just because your opponent is strong! Right, Gohan?

...Yeah!

...

Heh... I get it. There's no messing up on my end, either, right? Lemme in on this plan!

I'm counting on you, Gohan!

Right!! Leave it to me!!

And Piccolo... Please be careful!

Yeah. Let's all come out on top!!

...Alright...

Grah!! Grahah!!

Buu!! Prepare to fight for your life...!!

I can't just keep losing to you anymore...!!

HYAAAGH!!

...! It's starting! Seems like the little guy is completely focused on Gohan!

Let's carry out the plan like we discussed before! You're ready, right? Shallot?

Yeah, I'm good to go now that I've had a breather!

I'll gather it!! EVERY LAST BIT OF MY KI!

HAAA!!

BLEGH?!

Uuuh...uhhgaah...!! Gahgahgah...!!

Tsk...! He's tough, alright...!!

G-gahah! Mukekeke!!!!

KAAAH!!!

Wh-?!

Gya...gyaha...! Hyahaha!!

This Ki is...?! H-Hey!! Stop!! If you fire that, the Earth will...!!

GYAA!! HAAAAA!!

GYAA!! HAAAAA!!

...!! I don't have a choice! I have to take this head-on...!!

...UWOOOO!!!

Ngh...! ...Kukuku!! Shahaha!!!

Gyahahahaha!!

...W-What...are you laughing for... Buu?!

...Huh...?

Haa...haa...! I'm still...alive...!

Grmm...!! Grr...!!

G-Gohan...!! He took that hit directly?!

This is bad! Not even Gohan can last much longer after taking that much damage...!

No! It's not over yet!!

...?!

Gohan said he would do it alone! He said he'll show us...!!

I believe in you!! Gohan!!

And...Piccolo!!

...uu...gu...!

...GAAH!!

Haa...haa...!! That shrimp...! Buu'll never...forgive him...!!

...Heh. Looks like he did a real number on you.

...!

Who...are you?! Where's Shallot and the puny one?! Where ARE THEY?!

Don't get ahead of yourself. It's not like they're hiding or anything.

In fact, I came here to tell you exactly where they are!

...What? ReaLLy?

Yeah, really.

Really, really, really?!

Y-Yeah...! Really, really...really!

But! Before I tell you where they are...

Let's make a deal!!

...Deal...?
