Buu glared viciously at Son Goten, his ravenous gaze practically begging to devour him.
"Hey, Buu, let me ask you something." Ignoring Buu's furious glare, Son Goten gave a teasing smirk and glanced over at Fat Buu.
"What do you think will happen if I pull this out?" Son Goten asked casually, his smirk growing wider.
"N-no, don't!" Buu frantically tried to stop Son Goten. "If you pull it out, I won't be me anymore!"
"Oh."
Son Goten gave a casual reply. "What's that got to do with me?"
"Rip."
With a hard tug, Son Goten tore off the strand connecting him to Fat Buu.
"Ugh..."
Outside, Buu's face twisted into a grimace as he let out an ugly howl, having lost Fat Buu.
"Gaaah!"
Inside Buu, the other Buu melted rapidly as if doused in acid, and Buu's whole body began to collapse.
"Uh-oh, I'd better get out of here." With a laugh, Son Goten grabbed Vegeta and the little fat guy, powered up, and shot toward the exit.
"Gaaaaah!!!"
"Pffft!"
"Pffft!"
Buu howled in agony, great clouds of smoke continuously spewing from the top of his head.
"Buu's energy is really unstable. What's going on?" Sensing that Buu's energy had become abnormal, Son Gohan and Trunks gazed toward him with grave expressions.
"This must be Goten's doing!" Trunks said excitedly. "Great! Buu's energy is weakening. Goten's rescued Dad!"
"This... should be... wait." Son Gohan had started to say something, but then noticed something was wrong. "No, that's not right. Why is Buu's energy getting stronger again?"
"What?"
Trunks stared in shock. Damn it, why had it changed again?
"Ugh... How could this happen? How could he turn into that?" Supreme Kai watched Buu in the crystal ball in terror. Buu's muscles had grown enormously, much like Trunks's third form from earlier.
Supreme Kai's thoughts drifted back to ancient times, when the five Supreme Kais were still alive. Their peaceful days had lasted until the Majin appeared.
Then, of the five Supreme Kais, North Supreme Kai and West Supreme Kai were killed one after the other, while the strongest, South Supreme Kai, was absorbed by Majin Buu—who now looked just like this.
"Oh, he's transforming." Having escaped from inside Buu—well, Son Goten was so incredible he could hardly call it escaping; fine, he'd run out—he watched Buu change with a look of amazement.
"What happened, Goten?" Son Gohan hurried over and watched Buu's transformation with a grave expression.
"Relax, big bro," Son Goten said unconcernedly. "No matter how Buu changes, I can kill him with one slap. Don't worry!"
"Is that so?" Son Gohan furrowed his brow, sensing that something was wrong.
"Graaah!"
Buu threw his head back and roared. His body changed dramatically once more, and purple light engulfed him, making everyone instinctively shut their eyes.
"Rumble."
The Majin Buu who emerged was no longer anything like before. Less than five feet tall, he looked small compared to his previous form. This was Majin Buu in his original, most savage form.
"Whoa." Although he already knew what was coming, Son Goten still put on the expression of someone seeing it for the first time. "Buu turned into a little kid."
Kid Buu swept his gaze coldly over those below. Trunks met his eyes and was overcome with terror, as if he'd just taken a trip to the gates of hell. Son Gohan fared better. He'd faced murderous bosses since childhood. Frieza and Cell had both killed enough people to pile them up like mountains.
But when Kid Buu looked at Son Goten, a flicker of fear crossed his eyes. He probably still remembered being beaten like a dog earlier!
Kid Buu said nothing. He spread his arms and raised them toward the sky, instantly forming a massive pinkish-purple energy ball. Its terrifying power was even greater than the previous one's, dyeing the entire sky pinkish-purple. Truly fearsome.
My man Buu—he was ruthless and didn't waste words.
Kid Buu grinned viciously, then hurled the energy ball at Son Goten.
The energy ball sent ripples through the air as it hurtled toward Son Goten amid fierce gusts. A chill flashed through Son Goten's eyes. "Buu, looks like you still haven't learned your lesson."
Son Goten suddenly burst forward and punched the incoming energy ball back.
Kid Buu was stunned. What the hell—couldn't he show him a little respect? He was making this so embarrassing.
The energy ball swept past Buu and struck the moon Supreme Kai had created earlier.
"Boom."
The moon exploded, dyeing Earth's sky purple.
"If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll think you can get away with anything," Son Goten sneered, then kicked Kid Buu flying.
"Kamehameha!"
"Haaaa!"
Son Goku, whose fight with Broly had left Hell in ruins, couldn't hold back any longer. He unleashed a powerful Kamehameha straight at Broly.
A blue beam and a green beam clashed. The blue beam gradually gained the upper hand, and eventually engulfed Broly.
Never clash beams with a Saiyan—especially not a Saiyan with the surname Son.
"Huff, huff."
Son Goku lowered his hands, exhausted by that Kamehameha. Just then, something unexpected happened.
