Time. It is an abstract motion. It is a force of nature, and it is implacable. Nothing can stop it. Many times in ones life, one wishes that they had more time. Some people wish they could live for thousands of years, some wish that they could live in one singular moment forever.

Death. It is just as implacable as time. It comes to everyone sooner or later, and not even the Dragon Balls can forever hold it off. Even those who are Immortal can die, it just takes a lot more to kill them.

Good and Evil. Such abstract motions are completely defined by the individual. One persons perception of good can be another person's perception of evil. Some don't even believe in good and evil, just shades of gray. But there is one absolute: the order of the universe. People can alter it slightly, but it is still part of fate.

Time. Most sentient beings in the galaxy divide it to make it more manageable to them. It is not truly measured in seasons, months, years, days, hours, seconds, minutes, centuries, decades, millennia, or even eons. It just is.

Death. Sometimes it is natural, such as disease or old age. Some times it is accidental, such as being hit by a vehicle moving at high speeds or a falling boulder. Sometimes it is cold and calculating, like a gunshot through the head or a knife in the gut. And sometimes, it comes as a surprise, hitting its unsuspecting victim mercilessly. And sometimes you know its coming, yet you know there is nothing that you can do to stop and you just gently close your eyes, waiting for the inevitable.

Good and Evil. Wars have been fought over these abstract notions. People have given up their lives in the name of what they perceive to be good, and others have taken lives in the same name. But if you look carefully at history, you'll notice that no one has ever marched into battle thinking that they are in the wrong. No, everyone thinks that they are right. Even when they admit that they are wrong, they are just altering their perception. Nothing is truly absolute, not even good and evil.

Six thousand years ago, a great war was fought across the universe between the Kai's guardians of Otherworld and the highest authority in the universe, and the inhabitants of the Demon World. Some mortals joined the Kai's, but only a handful from each quadrant were able to make a difference. The most prominent mortals were from the Northern Quadrant, the domain of the North Supreme Kai. They were highly skilled warrior's all, and each one was taken under the wing of a Supreme Kai. Olibu, the strongest and best martial artist among the four North Quadrant mortals, was a human from Earth with great physical strength. He was taken under the wing of the South Supreme Kai, the physically strongest being in the entire universe. From him he learned how to take his strength to great levels. Girin, a Namekian, was apprenticed to the East Supreme Kai, who a thousand years later became the only remaining Supreme Kai. He became an excellent healer, with the help of the East Supreme Kai's servant, Kibito. Orzin, an Arlian female, was apprenticed to the West Supreme Kai. She became a master tactician in abttle as well as learned many devastating fighting techniques. And Jesse, a human male from Earth, was apprenticed to the North Supreme Kai and learned the most out of all of the four. The North Supreme Kai's mastery of the sword was second to none, and Jesse picked that up rapidly, soon becoming the North Supreme Kai's equal.

As Demos, King of Demons, moved through the galaxy with his Demon Hordes, the Kai's moved to stop him with their hand picked champions. Olibu and the South Supreme Kai faced Demos in combat while Jesse and the North Supreme Kai faced Dabura. Orzin and the West Supreme Kai led the rest of the forces of the Kai's against the Demon Hordes while Girin and the East Supreme Kai healed the wounded.

As Olibu and the South Supreme Kai fought Demons, the South Supreme Kai withdrew, for there was another Demon Horde attacking the Southern Quadrant and he was needed. He left Olibu to battle Demos on his own one on one. But it didn't stay one on one. Jesse, Girin, and Orzin teamed up with Olibu to drive back Demos, eventually killing him. But their victory was short-lived. Dabura knocked out the North Supreme Kai and attacked, killing Olibu and Orzin. Girin and Jesse prepared to use a technique to cast Dabura into Limbo, but the uncrowned King of Demons reversed the technique, sending Jesse into Limbo for six thousand years, but Girin wasn't so lucky. The reversal of the spell ripped into him and turned his body to stone, which Dabura promptly shattered with his fist.

Dabura, figuring that his victory was assured as none of the only Supreme Kai that could defeat him with the South Supreme Kai, prepared to launch an attack on the World of the Kai's. But he had not figured on the Dai Kaio interfering. The Dai Kaio appeared, and his mere presence drove the Demon Hordes back. Peace had returned to the universe.

The Kai's were deeply saddened by the loss of their counterparts, though they weren't too distressed. Olibu, Girin, and Orzin all went to the Grand Kai's planet as heroes. Their mentors visited them on a fairly regular basis, though the North Supreme Kai was solemn. He had come to look upon Jesse as an apprentice, a mortal who could have achieved an even higher level of greatness. The only Kai who could look into Limbo was the Dai Kaio, and he told the Supreme Kai's, Olibu, Orzin, and Girin that he could not release Jesse from Limbo without getting trapped there in his place. The power Jesse and Girin had put into the Limbo spell was too much, and they were trapped there, possibly forever.

Time went by. Years turned into decades, decades into centuries, and finally a full millennia after the Demon Wars. The evil wizard Bibidi created a horrible monster named Majin Buu and scoured the universe with the intent of destroying all of creation with the exception of those who swore allegiance to Bibidi. Majin Buu's power was incredible, surpassing that of even the Kai's. And one by one, the Supreme Kai's were forced to enter into battle with the vicious monster. The beautiful West Supreme Kai faced the monster first in a battle to the death. Despite her incredible power and technique, she fell easily against the monster. Next the elderly North Supreme Kai faced off against Majin Buu. His sword, though sharp, proved to be useless against Majin Buu, who could reform from the cuts if a hit connected. Majin Buu dispatched the North Supreme Kai easily enough, and with his last thoughts the North Supreme Kai sent a tome with the knowledge of the Kai's to Jesse in Limbo. Next to face the monster was the South Supreme Kai, the strongest of the Supreme Kai's. Their battle was long and furious, and in the end the South Supreme Kai ripped Majin Buu's left arm off. But the South Supreme Kai didn't know what would happen when he did that. Majin Buu absorbed the South Supreme Kai and transformed into a hulking monster with near-limitless power.

Finally, it was the East Supreme Kai's turn to face the monster. With the other Supreme Kai's dead, he was completely outclassed. The East Supreme Kai, Shin tried to fight back with all he had, but he just couldn't match Majin Buu's horrible power. He prepared himself for death, but it was not to be. The Dai Kaio deflected Buu's attack and countered with an attack of his own, slicing the evil creature into small pieces. But Majin Buu just recombined and flowed over the Dai Kaio and absorbed him. This, however, turned out to be a mistake. While the Dai Kaio was possibly even more powerful than Majin Buu, the pure goodness of him clashed with the evil energy of Majin Buu and drastically weakened him. Majin Buu went from the hulking monster he had become after absorbing the South Supreme Kai to a sweets-crazy being with a childlike personality. Bibidi quickly saw the problems with this, but lucky for him there was still no one in the universe, living or dead, who could defeat Majin Buu, not even the East Supreme Kai. The East Supreme Kai waited until Bibidi had sealed Majin Buu up in the Buu Egg and then attacked, killing Bibidi and forever insuring that the monster would never be released again. Or so he thought.

Five thousand years later, the universe is a vastly different place. Many tyrants have come and gone. Girin's home planet of Namek was nearly wiped out by a strange atmospheric storm, killing almost all Namekians. Only two, the child of the Elder Kataz and Guru, survived. The child of Kataz was sent away in a space ship and eventually reached Earth, home planet of Olibu and Jesse. Guru slowly took on the task of repopulating and healing Namek, though it was a slow process. The child of Kataz grew up on Earth, becoming strong. He was descended from Girin, and thus had enormous potential. Eventually, he vied for the Throne of Kami with Garlic, a madman who was pure evil. But even though he vanquished Garlic to the Dead Zone, the child of Kataz was still unable to ascend the Throne for the evil within him. And so, the young Namek went through a painful choice, and evicted the evil within him. But the evil would not die, and soon became the great and evil Piccolo Daimou, the self-proclaimed King of Demons. Kami, as the goodness came to be called, and Piccolo Daimou fought for many years, but neither could get the upper hand over the other. Finally, the elderly master of a promising young martial artist named Roshi, developed the Mafuba technique, and sealed Piccolo Daimou away for over three hundred years. However, he lost his life in the containment for he expelled all of his energy in the spell.

In another part of the universe, a small space pod containing a proud young Saiyan Warrior ventured too close to a black hole and was partially pulled in. He was pulled in enough to where time slower down to a crawl as his space pod inched out of the black hole's grip over the next fifty years. And not three years later, the evil tyrant Frieza had basically enslaved the Saiyan race to purge planets of their inhabitants and sell them to other races. Among these Saiyans was a proud and noble warrior named Bardock. Upon purging one planet, the last warrior of that planet cursed him with the ability to foresee the future. He was unable to prevent the destruction of his home planet, but he was able to send his infant son away to a planet where he would be safe, and grow up to be a strong and noble man. But the young Saiyan Kakarott, son of Bardock, was only one of four to be away when the planet Vegeta was destroyed by the tyrant Frieza.

Years went by on Earth, and Kakarott, now called Goku, grew up to be a strong, if naïve, young man with a heart of gold. He made friends and enemies, and most of those enemies later became friends. He learned his true heritage and even achieved the pride of the Saiyan Race, Super Saiyan, the first to have done so in three thousand years. Time passed, and many things happened. The flow of time was shifted into a new direction, and Goku's son Gohan reached a new level of the Saiyan race, Super Saiyan 2. He had Ascended beyond the Super Saiyan. Goku perished for the second time and chose to remain dead, and life went on. Gohan grew and helped his mom take care of his baby brother Goten. All life on Earth was unaware of the events that would soon pull them into the attention of the final remaining Supreme Kai, Shin, Supreme Kai of the Eastern Quadrant.

As the years passed within Limbo, the Warrior known as Jesse bided his time, training with all of the other inhabitants of Limbo until the inevitable day that he would be released. He had examined the confinement spell that now bound him in Limbo, and discovered that it possessed a time release: six thousand years. Jesse trained, in time learning how to harness more power than any other human to have ever lived, including his friend Olibu. He had even surpassed the Supreme Kai's in strength, excepting the South Supreme Kai. He pushed his psychic powers to the limits and even discovered new depths to his power. Honing his strength and skills, Jesse trained for the inevitable day where he would be released from Limbo. Then he would be free to locate Dabura, the new King of Demons, and destroy him.

Time flows inexorably, unstoppable and never ceasing in its course. Jesse was eventually released from Limbo and returned to Earth. Then he entered Orange Star High, where the elder son of Goku, Gohan, was attending. But more had occurred. The space pod of the Saiyan noble Zarvon had escaped the pull of the black hole and continued towards Earth. He had not aged in the five decades he had been near the black hole, but his body had been put through extreme stress and his power had greatly increased. He had become stronger than any Saiyan in the three thousand years before him, but not the Saiyans who had been born after he had left planet Vegeta. He had become as powerful as the Saiyan now known as Goku when he had fought the tyrant Frieza, but before the Super Saiyan transformation. He too enrolled in Orange Star High after a few months of being on Earth. He needed to learn about Earth culture if he was going to fit in. Jesse had enrolled to roughly catch up on history. He had watched all of the major events in Limbo as those captured in Limbo could watch their home planet.

Jesse and Zarvon became acquaintances in school, and made some other almost friends, including Gohan, who was the strongest living being on Earth, and Videl Satan, daughter of the man who had taken Gohan's credit for defeating Cell. Not that the demi-Saiyan wanted the credit. Time passed and it became time for the Tenkaichi Budoukai, the Supreme World Martial Arts Tournament. Jesse, Zarvon, Videl, and Gohan entered the tournament for one reason or another. Videl for her father's respect, Gohan because Videl blackmailed him into it, Zarvon so he could win the prize money and not have to do what he considered demeaning manual labor, and Jesse to test the strength and skill of those who were the worlds premier martial artists.

But they weren't the only ones who entered. Goku, Gohan's father, was allowed one day back in the living world and returned to compete. The other Z Warriors, Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, and Eighteen, all entered for old times sake, though Vegeta entered to fight Goku one more time. But dark times were ahead. As it turned out, the evil wizard Bibidi had a son named Babidi, and he had come to Earth to release his father's greatest creation. He had scoured the universe for the mightiest fighters that he could enslave with his magic. Yakon of the Planet of Darkness, a planet just beyond the edge of the universe where no light had reached it since the dawn of time, was Babidi's second strongest warrior until Majin Buu would be released. Pui Pui of the Temerian Planet, a planet of powerful fighters who would do anything for the right price, became Babidi's prize fighter short of the upper levels of power. But Dabura, King of Demons, became Babidi's right hand man. He allowed the wizard to be deceived into thinking that he was under the pathetic wizard's control, but he was just using Babidi to release Majin Buu so that he could force the Demon Fusion technique and become the mightiest being to ever live, and possibly ever could live. Babidi duped a pair of human fighters, Yamu and Spopovitch, into becoming his servants and sent them to the tournament to gather energy. But there was a flaw in Babidi's plan. The East Supreme Kai, now merely called the Supreme Kai, entered the tournament with his servant Kibito. They planned to follow Babidi's servants after they gathered up energy to give to Majin Buu. But they altered their plans when Jesse told them that he knew the location of Babidi's spaceship. They waited until the tournament was over so Goku and Gohan could grow stronger from their matches.

The tournament continued, and Gohan fought the Supreme Kai in the Semi-Finals. Their power was equal until Gohan transformed into a Super Saiyan and knocked the Supreme Kai out of the ring. The second match of the Semi-Finals was Goku versus Jesse. Jesse pushed Goku to his limits with incredible techniques learned, mastered, and taken to even higher levels after six thousand years of training. Goku finally defeated Jesse by knocking him into the arena wall. Gohan and Goku fought in the Finals, where they both pushed the limits of Super Saiyan 2. In the end, Goku's far superior experience in combat granted him the victory. He defeated is son and won the Tenkaichi Budoukai for the second time.

The Z Warriors and their new allies, with Videl, flew to Babidi's spaceship, prepared for the worse. Jesse lured Dabura out of the ship and fought him in single combat while the other fighters dealt with Babidi's henchmen. Vegeta easily defeated Pui Pui, not even needing to transform to do it. Goku destroyed Yakon, using Yakon's own light eating trick to do it by filling him to bursting with the power of a Super Saiyan and then shooting an energy blast down his gullet. But by then Jesse fell against Dabura and could not continue. With his special abilities to fight against evil such as Dabura, his power had the strength of Gohan, Goku, or Vegeta at the basic Super Saiyan level. But Dabura was as strong as they were at Super Saiyan 2. Dabura fought young Gohan, their power equal. But Jesse tried to distract Dabura with a highly advanced energy blast, and Dabura ran him through with his sword, hitting Videl at the same time. That pushed Gohan over the edge, and he completely snapped, summoning forth even more power than ever before and going beyond the Super Saiyan 2 and transforming into a Super Saiyan 3.

With such power, Dabura was totally outclassed. He retreated. But Gohan was still in the depths of his anger and turned on the Z Warriors, using their telekinetic gifts, restrained Gohan long enough for Goten, Videl, and Goku to get through to him. They reached through to him, and Gohan lost his anger. But without his anger to support his power, Gohan fell out of his Super Saiyan 3 state and fell unconscious. Babidi then used his magic to invade Vegeta's mind and turned him into one of his servants. Vegeta challenged Goku and Goku accepted the fight. The Z Warriors and their allies went on into Babidi's ship and waited for Gohan to awaken. It didn't take long. When Gohan awakened, they proceeded into Babidi's spaceship where they confronted Dabura. Jesse and Dabura fought, but this time Dabura won, decapitating his hated enemy. This pushed Gohan even further over the edge and into Super Saiyan 3 once again, but something far worse had happened at that moment as well: Majin Buu had been released. Goku and Vegeta's battle had given him all the energy he needed to escape from his confinement.

Dabura, in a fit of unholy glee, attempted to use the Demon Fusion technique to merge Majn Buu's power with his own. Gohan rushed to stop him, but his Super Saiyan 3 power gave out at the absolute last second and he and Dabura were blasted far away by Majin Buu. The Saiyan warrior Zarvon was pushed over the edge and transformed from being normal all the way into a Super Saiyan 3. However, Majin Buu's last attack had opened a hole in the spaceship all the way to the surface, and the full moon could be seen. Zarvon transformed into the wereform of the Saiyan race, the Oozaru. However, because he was a Super Saiyan 3, Zarvon had transformed into a Golden Oozaru, a Super Saiyan version of the Oozaru.

But even with the help of Vegeta as a Super Saiyan 2, Zarvon could not destroy Majin Buu. Even as powerful as he had become, he was not as strong as Gohan or Goku, and this power was new to him. However, he was familiar with the strength of an Oozaru, so his mind was not completely overwhelmed with the power he now possessed. Majin Buu sliced off Zarvon's tail, and Zarvon passed out from the power loss. With Zarvon out of action, Vegeta was completely outclassed. He resorted to a total annihilation technique, expending all of his energy into one devastating blast, to defeat the monstrous Majin Buu. But it was not enough. Vegeta sacrificed his life, and Majin Buu survived.

Goku proceeded to teach the Fusion Dance to young Goten and Trunks, but was forced to transform into a Super Saiyan 3 himself to stall Buu while Trunks went and got the Dragon Radar at Capsule Corps so they would be able to find the Dragon Balls. This cut his time short and he had to return to Otherworld.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Kai and Kibito had found the severely wounded Gohan and took him to the planet of the Kai's. There he was able to do what no other had ever been able to do: draw the fabled Z Sword. Goku and Jesse soon joined Gohan on the planet of the Kai's and helped Gohan in his training. Goku helped Gohan master his new Super Saiyan 3 powers while Jesse taught him many sword fighting techniques. Things were looking up.

But all was not well on Earth. Majin Buu had decimated nearly half the Earth's population in a single day, leaving a battered world in his wake. But the idiotic intervention of Hercule, Videl's father and the man who took Gohan's credit for defeating Cell, occurred. He actually befriend Majin Buu, and due to a nutso hunter nearly killing Hercule and Buu's new puppy Bee, Majin Buu split into polar opposites: the good, Fat Buu, and the evil Majin Buu. The two fought, and the evil side of Majin Buu won. The evil transformed into an even more powerful form, gaining several new abilities, including the ability to sense ki. The new, more powerful Majin Buu headed for the Lookout, where he sensed the most powerful beings on Earth were located.

In Otherworld, on the planet of the Kai's, Gohan had broken the Z Sword and was now undergoing a special power boosting training to unleash his hidden power. Jesse, Goku, Shin, and Kibito were using their senses to keep aware of what was happening on Earth. What they detected was distressing them greatly. Goku couldn't go back to Earth, and Jesse had no means of transport since Kibito wasn't about to risk taking Jesse near enough to Majin Buu to where it wouldn't take too long for him to get to Majin Buu and make a difference. However, it soon looked like Gohan's training would come too late. Majin Buu had annihilated most of the people on Earth with a single attack. In a fit of desperation, Jesse used his psychic abilities to locate the knowledge of the Instant Transmission and learn the technique himself. He then used the technique to travel to Earth, just in time to save Chichi, Goku's wife, from being turned into some kind of food product. Jesse then proceeded to lure Majin Buu away from the Lookout in a game of cat and mouse of the highest stakes. Goten and Trunks then proceeded to enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train in the art of the Fusion Dance.

But luck was once again not on their side. Majin Buu soon tired of chasing Jesse and returned to the Lookout. Piccolo had no choice but to take him into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to face Gotenks. They had trained for a mere half hour in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, though they had gotten seven and a half days of training inside. While it wasn't much, it was enough to enable them to reach the level of Super Saiyan 3. With this new increase of power, they were strong enough to give Majin Buu a lot of trouble. However, their arrogance and playing like they did not have any energy left caused Piccolo to take a drastic action: he blew up the door. This trapped them in and thus Piccolo believed the Earth to be safe. But Majin Buu's rage opened up a rip in Space and Time, created a portal back to Earth, which he escaped through. There he prepared to terrorize the Earth once more. And eat lots of candy, which the reality of not being able to eat any more candy had created the incredible rage.

Jesse retreated to the planet of the Kai's, where Gohan had just finished his training. Jesse returned with Gohan, who was able to stop Majin Buu from turning everyone into candy. Gohan proceeded to demolish Majin Buu while barely even tapping into his power. But Dabura, King of Demons, appeared and used a pair of corrupted Kai Earrings to Fuse with Majin Buu, forming the horrible Dabuu, a horror beyond even Gohan's new strength to combat. And so they prepared for drastic measures.

In Otherworld, the Old Kai gave Goku his life and a pair of Kai Earrings. Goku used the Instant Transmission to return to Earth with the Kai Earrings with the plan to use them to Fuse with Gohan. But other plans were in motion. King Yemma had sent Vegeta back to Earth in hopes of his increased strength being able to help stop Majin Buu. Goku and Vegeta ended up performing the Fusion Dance as Ascendant Super Saiyans and became the Fused Warrior Gogeta. Unlike Gotenks, who had Goten's naiveté and Trunks' arrogance and desire to make the fight "cool", Gogeta was the perfect Warrior. Gogeta was the perfect blend of Goku and Vegeta. Goku's potential for incredible strength and good heart along with Vegeta's fighting experience and the drive to win of both Saiyans combined made Gogeta the epitome of a fighter. Gogeta's power equaled Dabuu's, but it still was not enough. Like Majin Buu, Dabuu could reform from injuries and regrow limbs that were incinerated or ripped off.

Gogeta and Dabuu proved to be equal. Gogeta's slightly superior strength along with his surprisingly more vicious fighting style kept Dabuu hard pressed to keep up. However, Dabuu soon proved that he was merely toying with Gogeta. In a fit of desperation, Gogeta, Gotenks, Zarvon, and Gohan distracted Dabuu while Jesse used his Drain Cannon attack, pushing everything that he could into the attack so that it sapped away almost eighty percent of Dabuu's strength. It appeared that victory was assured.

But then Dabuu did the unimaginable. He spat on Gotenks, turning the Fused Super Saiyan 3 into a pink goo that was immediately absorbed into his being. His power level raised, increasing dramatically. Then he spat on Gogeta, absorbing him and going beyond his previous power level. He then tried for Gohan, but Zarvon leaped in front of the spit and was absorbed instead. Dabuu had reached an even higher level of power, and with no one strong enough to use the Kai Earrings with, Gohan's prospects and the Earth's were looking bleak.

But then Jesse did the unthinkable. He threw one of the Kai Earrings that Goku had brought with him to Gohan. With a yell of encouragement, the demi-Saiyan and human Fused into one powerful being: Jehan.

Even with the differences in their power levels, the Fusion was equal to Dabuu's new level of strength. Jehan had Gohan's power along with Jesse's knowledge of fighting techniques, making him far superior to even Gogeta. Since Dabuu was half Dabura and he was the more dominant personality, and Jehan was half Jesse and he had a bit more influence in Jehan, Jehan was able to completely overwhelm Dabuu.

However, Dabuu soon revealed that he was still toying around. He powered up until his power eclipsed Jehan's, but Jehan then powered up to his max. However, Dabuu powered up to his maximum power level as well, eclipsing Jehan once again.

However, Jehan soon revealed his trump card: the Super Warrior transformation. This new level of power was very similar to the Super Saiyan transformation, but was still incredibly different. But the outcome was the same: Jehan's power had increased as much as, if not more than, it would have had he transformed into a Super Saiyan.

With Jehan transforming into a Super Warrior, the outcome was clear: Dabuu was as good as dead. Jehan's power was enormous, even compared to Dabuu's. Combined with a great tactical mind, Jehan was using minimal energy to annihilate Dabuu. However, Dabuu's ability to regenerate was almost too much for even Jehan to overcome.

Finally, Jehan decided to use Jesse's most powerful attack on Dabuu: the Shirubaa Bufu Kijutsu. The Shirubaa Bufu Kijutsu was a slight variation of a technique used by the North Supreme Kai during the Demon Wars against Fused Demons. It had the power to split a Fused being apart, even if that Fused being was the one using the technique. As a result, Dabuu split into Majin Buu and Dabura and Jehan split into Gohan and Jesse. Gohan quickly took care of Dabura to eliminate the threat of Dabuu's possible return. However, Majin Buu was now as strong as Gohan with all of the Super Saiyans he had absorbed. The battle was not over yet.

While Gohan was taking Dabura out, Majin Buu decided that attacking Gohan's blind side could stop him. But Jesse intervened, lopping off Majin Buu's tentacle with his sword. Majin Buu reformed the tentacle, but the piece that had been lopped off began to fold in on itself to become more like a blob that a semi-solid whatever. Majin Buu then attempted to use the tentacle piece that had been lopped off to absorb Gohan, but Jesse shoved his friend out of the way and was absorbed instead.

Jesse arrived inside of Majin Buu, for an energy barrier he had erected just before the goo encased him kept him from being fully absorbed. He proceeded to travel inside of Majin Buu to find and release the captured Saiyans in hopes of robbing Buu of most of his power. His travels through Buu were horrible, and Gohan could not fight at his absolute fullest outside because if he did, then he would risk destroying Jesse while he was inside of Buu. Jesse even had to fight thought forms, mental incarnations of those absorbed by Majin Buu: Gogeta, Zarvon, and Gotenks. Using a secret technique, he destroyed the thought forms, breaking the remaining Fusions within Buu violently and weakening Buu back to being as strong as a Super Saiyan 3, yet not as strong as Gohan had become through his Mystic Power.

Eventually, Jesse reached where Majin Buu was holding the Saiyans and was able to free them, as well as the good version of Majin Buu that had been befriended by Hercule. But, in freeing the good Majin Buu, the Majin Buu that was the incarnation of the South Supreme Kai and Dai Kaio absorbed by Majin Buu when he was in his original form five thousand years ago, they unleashed Majin Buu's true, original power.

Outside of Majin Buu, the battle seemed to have taken a turn for the worse. Majin Buu had managed to turn Gohan into a piece of candy. As luck would have it, Gohan was so powerful he was still capable of movement while a piece of candy. Gohan continued to fight Buu, though now it was humiliating since Gohan was just a piece of candy. Finally, Buu turned Gohan back to normal, since as a piece of candy he was too small and fast for Buu to grasp, not to mention he'd just rip the hand that caught him apart.

Goku, Vegeta, Goten, and Trunks managed to get out of Majin Buu via Instant Transmission, but Jesse and Zarvon were stuck. After getting Tien, Chiao Tzu, Korin, and Yajirobe, Goku took everyone on the Lookout save for Gohan to the Planet of the Kai's, and from there the Supreme Kai, Kibito, and the Old Kai took them to New Namek.

Meanwhile, things were getting hectic on Earth. Majin Buu had attained his true form, and his power was now equal to Gohan's. However, he shrunk. He was now child sized, being only as tall as Gohan had been when he fought Cell, though far more powerful. Gohan's total power was slightly higher than Majin Buu's full power, but Majin Buu could still regenerate. But being unable to overwhelm Gohan, to toy with him, frustrated Majin Buu no end. As he grew more and more frustrated, he opened up a power that was horrible beyond imagining. As his frustration grew, Majin Buu's power slowly weakened the barriers between dimensions. If he was not stopped, all of the worlds would come to an end and result in absolute anarchy and chaos.

Luckily, Jesse knew how to close the rips in Space/Time that were being opened by Majin Buu, but he needed to be alive. He suggested the wording of the first wish to be given to Porunga, the Namekian Eternal Dragon. With it, everyone on Earth who had been killed since the start of the Tenkaichi Budoukai whose death had been associated with Majin Buu was brought back to life. Vegeta, Jesse, and the Old Kai all got their lives back. Then, they used the second wish to get Jesse, Zarvon, and the good Buu that was within the evil Majin Buu out. Jesse then used a portal of his creation to get himself and Zarvon, in addition to Hercule and Bee whom they had almost landed on upon getting out of the evil Majin Buu.

With Zarvon and Gohan trying to penetrate the barrier surrounding Kid Buu, which was the best way to close the rips in Space/Time, Jesse proceeded to use his own abilities to try and close them manually. And the plan succeeded. Between Zarvon and Gohan's pounding, and Jesse using his abilities to close the rips, they soon stabilize the Space/Time Continuum in the entire solar system, keeping anyone from creating uncontained rips ever again within half a light year of Earth.

However, the unexpected happened once again. Kid Buu struck Zarvon, sending him flying into Jesse, taking them both into a rip in Space/Time that closed seconds after they entered it. This pushed Gohan over the edge completely as he unleashed the most devastating force in the universe: the Rage.

In the depths of the Rage, Gohan had only one thought: destroy Majin Buu. And he nearly did that. Gohan's power had risen dramatically, nearly equaling Jehan in the Super Warrior transformation. But a fluke caused Gohan to be knocked out into space, sure to die. Things were not looking good once again.

But Vegeta had an idea. It was crazy, unreliable, and it was entirely possible that even attempting it would doom them anyway. It was the Spirit Bomb. With King Kai to set up a telepathic relay to everyone on Earth, and the Supreme Kai to teleport Goku and Vegeta to Earth, the plan was a go. Goku and Vegeta went to Earth, and the Supreme Kai returned to Earth with Hercule and Bee while Vegeta and the Fat Buu distracted Majin Buu.

As the Spirit Bomb formed, Piccolo pleaded with the people of Earth to offer their energy to empower the Spirit Bomb. Then Goku himself tried. A few old friends offered up their energy, but it was far from enough. It appeared that the Earth was doomed.

But the comments of the people of Earth angered Hercule, their "beloved savior" and he voiced his opinions. And lo and behold, the people of Earth heard him! After a small amount of coaching, Hercule spoke to the people of Earth and encouraged them to offer up their energy. Blindly, as they always did Hercule's requests, the people of Earth gave their energy for the Spirit Bomb. But the outcome was still in doubt.

Out in space, Gohan was still alive and heading back to Earth. He had picked up a few techniques subconsciously from Jesse when they were Fused, and one of them was the creation of an aura that enabled one to breathe in space. But the Rage had been lost and Gohan's strength was now only equal to Majin Buu's. But he had another option to him: he could give his energy to the Spirit Bomb. And this he did, gladly giving away the precious energy to the Spirit Bomb. Having done this. Gohan closes his eyes and resigns himself to dying in space.

But it was not to be. Using the last wish of the Namekian Dragon Balls, Dende brings Gohan to New Namek, where he promptly heals his oldest and dearest friend. On Earth, Goku uses the Spirit Bomb to destroy the evil Majin Buu, ending the menace once and for all.

Time passes, and the Earth remains at peace. Gohan and Videl have gotten married and had a daughter named Pan, whom all of her grandparents doted on. Bulma and Vegeta have had a daughter of their own, and surprisingly Vegeta dotes on her. The fat Buu, now called Mr. Buu, has moved in with Hercule along with his puppy Bee.

Life goes on for the Z Warriors. Their battle is over. But the battles of other warrior's have only just begun.

"How much farther before we find that ki signal?" a large man wearing Saiyan battle armor with a black undersuit. It was chipped and scarred from a recent vicious battle, but it was still more or less in one piece. He had black hair that was barely affected by the ripping winds as he and his companion flew hundreds of miles an hour thousands of feet into the air. His face was rough, scarred from a life lived going from one battle to another. His companion, who was flying a few feet ahead of him, was much smaller, being only five foot ten inches. He was wearing white gi pants and a long black vest that appeared to really be nothing more than weighted clothing.

"If I'm not mistaken, we're heading for West Capitol, possibly even Capsule Corps," the smaller man says.

"Jesse, what do you think happened here?" the large man asks.

"Dunno," Jesse replies, "but Zarvon, whatever did this may be at Capsule Corps. You are stronger than whoever is at Capsule Corps, in fact so am I. But if they can sense ki, then they know we're coming."

"I just hope the entire world isn't like this," Zarvon says, "do you honestly don't know what happened here?"

"I don't remember any kind of disaster of these proportions anywhere in the history books," Jesse replies, "and I definitely don't recognize that ki signal. And Orange Star City didn't even exist in my time, so this isn't before I was born."

"So we're in the future?" Zarvon asks.

"Or an alternate timeline," Jesse remarks, "I seem to recall a Trunks from another timeline coming to help out against Cell from the memories of Gohan's that I absorbed when we were Fused into Jehan."

"I remember him telling Videl about that when we cornered him in the Junior Division cafeteria," Zarvon remarks.

Jesse chuckles. "You had guts doing that. So what did you learn?"

Zarvon quickly explains what Gohan had told him and Videl about the other timelines.

"So you're saying that there are at least two alternate timelines from ours," Jesse says, "the one that this Mirai Trunks came from, and the one where Cell came from. If I understand correctly, the one that cell came from was the possibility if Mirai Trunks never traveled back in time."

"I imagine so," Zarvon says, "how far are we now?"

"You really need to learn how to sense ki," Jesse remarks, "I guess I'll teach you when I have a chance. We're maybe ten more minutes of travel at this speed."

"I hope this ki we're heading for isn't evil and hiding its power," Zarvon says.

"I don't sense anything malevolent about it," Jesse says, "in fact, it feels safe, almost completely noble."

A young man of perhaps 19 years of age looks off in a particular direction. "Mother, someone's coming, and they're strong."

A vibrant blue-haired woman of middle years looks at her only son, concerned. "I thought everyone else who could fly were dead. It's not more Androids, is it?"

The lilac-haired teen shakes his head. "If it were, we wouldn't be able to sense them. No, they're human. Or perhaps newly arrived aliens. But whoever they are, they are heading right for me."

The teen glares off in the direction of the approaching ki signals. "Be warned, whoever you are. If you are here to take over the Earth, then you had better be prepared for a fight.

Some of my reviewers mentioned in New Students at Orange Star High that I could have done so much more in the earlier chapters. Let me tell you that to do that and not ruin any identities that were revealed during the tournament the chapters would have had to deal with the school social lives of the characters. And since I had even less of a social life than Gohan in high school, I wouldn't have written things as well as I wanted to or kept up my high standard. I'm sorry if this disappoints the possibilities of a more expansive rewrite, but I'm sorry. I'm pleased with the way my story turned out.

Also, I got bored and agitated and wanted to get on with it. Stupid me, no?

The only thing I wish I could've done better was Zarvon's achieving the various levels of Super Saiyan 3 and the Golden Oozaru. I had planned on him possibly going Super Saiyan 4, but that would have just been ridiculous. Also, at the time I wrote that part I wasn't sure how Super Saiyan 4 was achieved. Now I do know, and I gots me a good reason as to why he didn't go Super Saiyan 4 if he could control the Golden Oozaru. The answer is that, despite being used to the Oozaru transformation, he wasn't used to the sheer incredible power of the Super Saiyan state, much less the Golden Oozaru. As a Super Saiyan, he was perhaps as strong as Piccolo. As a Super Saiyan 2, he was as strong as Gohan, Vegeta, or Goku as a normal Super Saiyan. A little unbelievable, but remember how much more powerful Goku had gotten after his year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber preparing for Cell and the Androids. His power before that seemed like almost nothing. As a Super Saiyan 3, he was as strong as the Ascendant Super Saiyan forms of Gohan, Goku, and Vegeta. And as a Golden Oozaru, he was as strong as Gohan as a Super Saiyan 3, which would put him a little weaker than Goku is at Super Saiyan 3, or fairly even with Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks. The reason for all of this is, of course, the amount of training that they did since the Frieza Saga. In a single year Gohan went from maybe as strong as Frieza's first form to being stronger than his father and about 60% as strong as Perfect Cell was prior to blowing up. That was his basic form, of course. As a Super Saiyan 2, Gohan would be at 166% of Perfect Cell's max prior to being blown up. After being blown up, Perfect Cell would be at about 85% as strong as Super Saiyan 2 Gohan, though Gohan was hurt after blocking that blast that Perfect Cell used to try to kill Vegeta, making them fairly equal.

If you want to be put on my mailing list, just leave an e-mail in your review. If your signed in, that will automatically put you on the mailing list unless you say otherwise in your review. Also, can anyone guess where they ended up? One of the reviewers for New Students figured it out. I hope you enjoy this new story. I spent a month working on this prologue, mainly because it was so tedious.

Well, please review. I welcome any and all criticism and I definitely welcome praise. Just try not to overdo it on the praise if you give any. I do not need an ego.

And zs-adun? If you're reading this, e-mail me and we'll talk.
