Chapter 88

Gohan charged at the newly formed monster with Super Saiyan 3 power running through his veins. Before Buu could begin to re-act there was a fist planted in the monster's face sending the pink being flying back toward Goten and Trunks. Gohan quickly fazed out of sitht and appeared between the monster and his friends sending a round house kick into the villian's head sending him flying quickly in the other direction.

"Goten, Trunk," Gohan yelled. "Get out of here. He's too strong for you to do any good and I don't want to have to worry about him absorbing you too."

"Right," Goten said slightly disappointed that he wasn't going to get to fight after all. But he knew that he and Trunks were no match for the monster even as a fused Super Saiyan 3.

As the two boys flew off in the other direction, Buu flew back at Gohan and began throwing kicks and punches at the Saiyan warrior like crazy.

Gohan looked back over his shoulder and saw that the two boys were leaving as he blocked the blows with relative ease. He knew that Goten and Trunks had really wanted to be in this fight but he also knew the two were simply out classed in this battle and he didn't want them becoming part of the monster as well. It was bad enough that Buu had managed to absorb Broly. That trick had been unexpected and could have proven diasterous or could still prove diasterous if Buu managed a repeat. Gohan hated to think of how strong Buu would get if he managed to absorb Gotenks as well. That was why he wanted to make sure the boys were not near enough to the fight to be able to interfere if they thought things were going to go bad.

Goku looked though the crystal ball as he watched Buu absorb Broly. This could be bad the Saiyan thought to himself. He knew Gohan was strong and a capable fighter but Buu's power was incredible and he could feel it all the way on the planet of the Kais. An instant later Goku felt another huge power as well as Gohan ascended to the third level of Super Saiyan. It was incredible. Gohan's power actually dawrfed Buu's new found power but he didn't know how long his son could keep that up. He knew first hand how draining Super Saiyan 3 could be.

"I think Gohan might be able to take him," Supreme Kai said as he watched the battle alongside Goku.

"If he can hold Super Saiyan 3 long enough to finish it," Goku said hoping that his son would be able to. He clenched his fists feeling completely helpless in this situation. He wanted to be down there in the heart of the battle defending the ones he loved. For the first time in the seven years since he'd decided not to be wished back from the dead, Goku truly felt regret for his decision. Sure he'd missed his family and not being able to see them as often as if he'd been alive but he'd been able to tell himself that it was for the good of the earth. Now obviously evil could find it's way to earth with or without him. And if he'd been alive he'd be down there protecting the ones he loved not sitting up here watching helplessly.

"You know you'd just get creamed in that battle anyway," Elder Kai said from where he was still unlocking Krillin's hidden power as if reading Goku's thoughts. "Buu is now many times stronger then you and so is your son. "You'd just distract Gohan or worse give Buu someone else to absorb." Elder Kai turned his attention back to Krillin. "There done," he said dropping his hands.

"Great," Krillin said jumping to his feet. "Now I can go help Gohan."

"Haven't you been listening," Elder Kai scolded. "Buu has become out of your league as well. You'd be getting in the way and throwing away your life if you went down there without a plan."

"But I can't just sit here," Krillin pleaded saying exactly what Goku had been thinking.

"There may be a possibility," Elder Kai said. "But I don't want to do it unless it comes down to a last resort."

"Get'em Gohan," King Yemma shouted as he watche the battle on his big screen TV in other world.

"Vegeta is ready to go back," Baba said floating up on her crystal ball.

"Alright be ready to take him but don't go unless I give the command," Yemma replied. "I don't want to interfere if I don't have to but we'll send the best we have before we let Buu destroy the universe."

-Dbz-

"Blaster Shell," Buu shouted using one of Broly's signature moves against Gohan.

Gohan quickly used instant transmission to teleport out of the way and came up behind Buu with a knee to the monster's stomach hard.

Blood flew from the monster's mouth from the force of the blow but Buu never had a chance to react as Gohan brought both fists down on the Majin's head sending him into the ground hard.

"Give it up Buu," Gohan said. "You know by now that you don't stand a chance against me. I'm not even trying that hard. If you've absorbed Broly then you should know you don't stand a chance."

"SHUT UP!!!!!!" Buu yelled in rage blasting out of the crater that Gohan had used his body to make only minutes earlier. "YOU'LL DIE," he shouted as he began to form a gigantic pick ball of energy. "You and this entire planet," he said laughing manicly.

"Don't make me laugh," Gohan said with a smirk as he stood in the way of the blast. "You can't destroy me with a blast like that."

"Then how about one like this," Buu said grinning easily as he pushed more of his power into the blast almost doubling it in size. An instant later he threw the blast down at the Super Saiyan 3.

The blast seemed to engulf Gohan shoving him down into a deep crater that was forming around him and the blast. For a few seconds the blast contiued downward but then it suddenly stopped. In the next instant the blast shot past Buu almost taking his head off and into space where it safely exploded. "Not bad," Gohan said. "But that was your last chance. You have til the count of five before i destroy you."

"Impossible," Buu gasped panting from the exhaustion from using so much energy. "There's no way." Then what Gohan just said struck and fear hit the Majin for the second time of the day and of his life for that matter. Gohan was going to finish him off and he could do nothing about it. The boy was more powerfull then him. At least for now. A smirk replaced the fear as Buu released some pink goo off of his back and let it slowly creap up behind the Super Saiyan.

"One, two, three, four..." Gohan counted. "Five, now your reign of terror is over. KA..ME..HA..ME..." the boy chanted as the pink goo got closer behind him.

Buu smirked as he let the goo attack Gohan and overcome him before he could finish the monster Kamehameha the boy had been forming. The goo flew toward Buu and covered him as he laughed his insane laugh.

-Dbz-

"This is bad," Supreme Kai said as he watched Buu absorb Gohan.

"Goku," Elder Kai said. The Saiyan turned around with a very serious look in his eye especially for the normally happy Saiyan. "I was hoping it wouldn't come to this but I'm going to give you my life so you can go fight Buu." With that Elder Kai fell over and the halo disappeared over Goku's head.

"I'll make him pay for what he did," Goku said ready to go down there and fight the pink monster. Goku raised two fingers to his forehead. "You're sacrifice won't be in vain, Elder Kai."

"THEN YOU BETTER HAVE A PLAN," Elder Kai shouted sitting up once more now with a halo over his head. "I DIDN'T JUST GIVE YOU MY LIFE SO YOU COULD GO FOOLISHLY THROW IT AWAY."

"I know," Goku said. "Krillin and I could fuse."

"You mean that dance you learned from the Metamoris," Elder Kai said.

"Yeah," Goku said. "It might just work."

"And it might just get you killed," Elder Kai said. "That fusion is too unreliable i have another way."

"And what is that Elder?" Supreme Kai asked.

"You don't know?" Elder Kai replied. "Those earings you wear aren't just for decoration. You take your left one off and have Kibito take his right one off and see what happens."

Supreme Kai and Kibito each did as instructed each removing one earring. In an instant the two were pulled toward eachother and smashed into eachother with a flash of light. When the light faded where the two had stood before now only stood one warrior who looked a lot like Supreme Kai but with Kibito's hair. "Alright I can beat Buu now. Let's go get him," the new Kibito Kai said.

"Not so fast," Elder Kai said. "You'd still get creamed by Buu. But if Goku and Krillin were to fuse they might just stand a chance."

"How long does this fusion last?" Goku asked.

"It is permanent," Elder Kai said.

"WHAT!!!!" Kibito Kai screamed, "you mean I'm stuck like this?"

"Alright let's do it," Goku said.

"Wait," Krillin said looking in the crystal ball. "Has anyone noticed that Buu hasn't changed like he did when he absorbed Broly."

"You're right," Kibito Kai said changing the view on the crystal ball. "It may not be over yet." Sure enough the view changed to show Gohan with a glowing aura around him inside Buu but definately not absorbed.

"He go absorbed on purpose," Elder Kai exclaimed.

"He must be trying to free Broly," Goku said understanding what was going on for the first time even though by now it was obvious.

-Dbz-

Gohan landed in some dark cavity inside of Buu. Guess the barrier I used worked. he thought as he let the aura around him fade and suppressed his power level. This would after all be much easier if Buu didn't know he was here. The Super Saiyan 3 walked over to where he heard some running water and looked in disgust. That must be the way out. He'd want to go the other way. The young Saiyan reached out with his senses where he could faintly feel Broly's power and headed in that direction.

-Dbz-

It didn't take Gohan long to find his way into what he assumed was Buu's head. There he saw a big pink pod with Broly inside it attached to the floor and ceiling. "That must be how Buu is using his power," Gohan said to himself.

As the young Saiyan walked toward the pod a voice made him turn. "I can't let you do that," an image of Buu from the waist up said that just appeared from the wall.

"I don't think you have much say in the matter," Gohan said blasting the Buu and walking toward Broly.

"You can't stop me in here," Buu said sending a blast at Gohan.

The boy simply blocked the blast and used instant transmission to appear next to the Broly pod. "Watch me," he said as he pulled the pod free. An instant later the whole area around him began to melt around the young Saiyan. "He must be changing back," Gohan said to himself. "I'm getting out of here." With that he raised two fingers to his forehead and disappeared.

-Dbz-

"Look Buu's changing again," Goku said watching the crystal ball now alive and well.

"And there's Gohan and Broly," Krillin pointed out as Gohan apeared with an unconsious Broly outside of Buu.

"Yeah he did it," Kibito Kai said excitedly.

-Dbz-

Gohan watched at Buu began to morph in a big pink blob as it's power level dropped. He knew that in the end it'd be the form that Buu was in before he absorbed Broly. I'm not going to wait around for that to happen though, he thought. The Super Saiyan 3 began gathering energy in his hands. "KA...ME...HA...ME... HA!" he shouted as he sent a monster Kamehameha wave at the pink monster completely engulfing it and leaving no traces of the monster behind. It was finally over. Buu was dead.

-Dbz-

Gohan appeared on the lookout to be tackled by Videl. "You did it," his apparent girlfriend said.

"You did have us scared for a minute," Piccolo added. "I thought he'd gotten you."

"I had to free Broly," Gohan said. "Can you heal him, Dende," the Saiyan said turning to the smaller Namekian.

"Sure," Dende said as he went and surrounded Broly in a green glow awakening the Legendary Super Saiyan from his slumber.

"So are you sure Buu's gone?" Piccolo asked.

"Yeah," Gohan replied. "I used way more power in that blast then was needed to kill him. There wasn't even a trace of him left."

"That's great son," Goku said appearing on the lookout. "You truely are earth's hero."

"Dad," Gohan said suprised to see his father. After all he was dead wasn't he? "Aren't you dead?"

"No," Goku said. "When it looked like you were absorbed, Elder Kai gave me his life to fight Buu but it turned out I wasn't needed. Which reminds me... we need to use the dragonballs to wish back Elder Kai and everyone that was killed by Buu for that matter."

"That shouldn't be a problem," Gohan said. "We can use the Namekian ones to wish Tien and Yamcha back since they've already died and the earth ones to wish back everyone else that died since the tournament except the bad ones."

"Wait," Dende said. "I've talked to elder Mori and he said the Namekian Dragonballs can bring back any number of people now so we really only need one wish."

"Then we'll head to namek then," Gohan said as he and his father both raised their fingers to his forehead.

Less then ten minutes later the two were back and everyone that had been killed had been revived. "What'd you use the other two wishes for?" Piccolo asked.

"We couldn't think of anything good," Goku replied so we just told Porunga we didn't have but one wish.

"You could made a bad wish if you didn't have a good one," Yamcha said. "We could all be rich or something."

The Z-fighters all laughed at the joke with an ease that comes only when the world is once again at peace.

Author's note: Well that brings this story to an end. I know some of you were hoping I'd continue it further but I never really liked GT much and don't really have too many origional ideas that i didn't already use up in my other story for going past the Buu saga. Hope you all liked how it turned out let me know what you think about how it turned out. I'm kinda tossing around the idea around for an new story about what would have happend if Goku wouldn't have lost his memory and known he was Kakarot but also knew that the Saiyan race was gone so he wouldn't really want to destroy the earth. I think i might have a good way to start something like that but any ideas are welcome as always. I'm not guranteeing anything in the imeadiate future especially after how long it took me to finish this story but if you want add me to the author alert if you haven't already and then you'll know if something gets posted. Anyway let me know what you think.
