The terrifying explosion blurred everything around them. Gotenks stood there looking incredibly smug. "Looks like I'm the one you have to rely on after all. You know your place now, Majin Buu!"
Gohan looked at the unfamiliar powerhouse who had arrived, yet felt there was something familiar about him.
"Big Brother Gohan, what do you think? We're pretty amazing, huh?" Gotenks was positively bursting with pride.
Gohan took a moment before speaking. "Are you Goten and Trunks? How did you end up looking like this?"
"Big Brother Gohan, this is the Fusion Dance Teacher Yun Feng taught us. It lets us fuse for half an hour."
Supreme Kai World
"Great Ancestor, Gohan defeated Majin Buu!" Supreme Kai Axin celebrated, waving his arms excitedly.
Old Kai's expression was grave. "If only Majin Buu really had been defeated. I can still sense his presence."
Supreme Kai Axin was taken aback. "Then why hasn't Majin Buu shown himself? Is he plotting something?"
"That's exactly what I'm worried about. Gohan is very strong, but he's still a little short of being able to kill Majin Buu."
"Axin, you need to go to the battlefield and deliver these Potara earrings."
As the two discussed what to do, they suddenly saw the situation in the Crystal Ball change.
Gohan also felt that something was wrong. That Light Blast just now had been powerful, but he absolutely didn't believe it could kill Majin Buu.
As Gohan searched for Majin Buu, something unexpected happened. A bundle appeared behind Gotenks and wrapped itself around him.
"Oh no! That's one of Majin Buu's attacks!" Gohan saw Majin Buu on a rock opposite them, grinning sinisterly.
Majin Buu beckoned, and the bundle wrapped around Gotenks flew toward him.
It squirmed and writhed. Just then, Piccolo arrived at the battlefield and saw the monster Majin Buu writhing violently.
Piccolo, already green to begin with, turned an even darker shade. Sweat trickled down his green face.
Gohan pressed his hands together, and powerful ki surged around him. He fired a barrage of Light Blasts. "Uncle Piccolo, get out of there!"
Rumble...
A deafening explosion erupted, throwing everything into chaos as billowing clouds of dust engulfed the area. Gohan gasped for breath.
"Damn it, Majin Buu is too cunning! He actually ate Goten and Trunks!"
Gohan was filled with guilt, but he had no idea what to do.
"Majin Buu, I'm going to kill you!" Gohan began powering up furiously. Waves of white energy rose around him as a terrifying aura burst from his body, and his strength continued to grow.
Gohan raised his power to its peak, then slowly tried to sense Majin Buu.
Supreme Kai World
Old Kai's expression grew even graver. "This is bad. Gohan's in danger now. What are Goku and Yun Feng doing?"
"Goku and Yun Feng seem to be practicing the Fusion Dance not far away. They failed once, and now they're waiting for the recovery period to pass. If Gohan can hold out for another five minutes, Goku and Yun Feng should be able to make it in time," Supreme Kai Axin replied.
Gradually, the scene became clear. Majin Buu had changed appearance: he was much taller, and Gotenks' distinctive yellow adornments now rested on his shoulders.
"Damn you, Majin Buu! You ate Goten and Trunks! I'm going to kill you!"
"Son Gohan, what are you going to do now? My strength has changed completely. I'm nothing like I was before. Are you sure you can still kill me?"
Gohan charged Majin Buu, and the two began to fight. Gohan rushed in with a punch, but Majin Buu folded his arms across his chest and dodged with a quick turn of his head.
"Son Gohan, why have you gotten so slow? With punches that slow, you'll never hit anyone. Let me teach you how to throw a punch!" Majin Buu laughed smugly.
Majin Buu's figure blurred. Gohan's vision flashed, and a punch from Majin Buu struck him in the stomach. A wave of agony tore through Gohan's body.
A mouthful of blood burst from Gohan uncontrollably. He wiped it away and kicked again, but Majin Buu grabbed his leg.
Majin Buu leaped up, then swung Gohan down with all his strength. With a crash, Gohan slammed into the ground, leaving a huge crater. Majin Buu wasn't done.
He swung Gohan up again and hurled him toward the mountainside. Gohan endured the pain and powered up, managing to stop himself.
"Damn it, I didn't think the difference in our strength would be this huge. What should I do? I can't give up. I have to hold out until Dad and Uncle Yun Feng get back."
Gohan's body blurred, and in an instant he appeared above Majin Buu. He kicked down at him, but Majin Buu raised a hand and blocked the attack.
Gohan launched several more attacks, but Majin Buu blocked them all with ease. Gohan formed a terrifying Ki Blast, but Majin Buu pushed it back toward him, and it struck Gohan head-on.
The blast carried Gohan through the air. Piccolo shouted frantically, "Gohan!" and rushed to save him, but the terrifying force dragged Piccolo along too. Both of them slammed into the mountainside.
Boom...
A hole appeared in the mountainside. Majin Buu stared at his own palm in disbelief, unable to believe he had become this powerful.
Hahahahaha...
He had to thank Trunks for smugly running over and giving him all that power.
Gohan carried Piccolo out of the mountainside. Piccolo opened one eye and said with difficulty, "Gohan, are you okay? Don't worry about me. Get out of here! Majin Buu is too strong."
Gohan panted. "Uncle Piccolo, rest here for a while. I have a reason I can't run away."
Gohan's whole body hurt, and his ki had dropped considerably. Suddenly, Majin Buu spat out a swarm of little creatures just like himself. They floated in the air.
"Son Gohan, take this! Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack!" The little creatures all rushed toward Son Gohan.
Gohan hurriedly retreated. He could already tell these little ghosts were no ordinary trick. Light shone from all five of Gohan's fingertips, and five beams of light engulfed several of them.
With a boom, a terrifying explosion erupted, and Gohan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Majin Buu gave a sinister grin. "Son Gohan, this attack isn't as simple as you think." Suddenly, two little ghosts burst out of the billowing dust.
They charged straight into Gohan. He hurriedly raised his arms to shield his face.
Rumble...
Another terrible explosion rang out. Piccolo called out with difficulty, "Gohan!"
A moment later, Gohan leaped out of the dust. Blood ran from his forehead and one arm. He had clearly been badly injured.
"Son Gohan, you're pretty tenacious. But this attack will definitely finish you!" Majin Buu vanished in an instant. When he reappeared, his fist had already slammed into Gohan's face.
Gohan cried out in pain. Majin Buu appeared again where he was falling and kicked him into the sky. Light gleamed in Majin Buu's hand. "Super Donut!"
Four or five pink rings bound Gohan. Majin Buu formed an oval-shaped blade of energy in his other hand. "Destructo Disc!"
Gohan managed to open one eye. This is bad. It's a Destructo Disc. If that hits me, I'm done for.
Gohan roared furiously, and a powerful aura erupted from his body. Waves of white energy rose around him.
"Die!" Majin Buu hurled the Destructo Disc. Gohan powered up with all his might, and the five donuts slowly began to crack. With a furious roar, Gohan shattered the donuts and dodged the Destructo Disc in a flash.
"Son Gohan, I'll give you that. You actually escaped a situation that should've been certain death."
At last, the time limit for Goku and Yun Feng's fusion ran out, and the two separated.
"Goku, quick, let's fuse again! I can sense that Gohan's in trouble." The two took their positions once more and spoke in unison. "Fusion!" A flash of white light passed.
A terrifying aura filled the air, and a handsome figure appeared: the warrior formed by the fusion of Goku and Yun Feng.
