Tien's brow furrows as he comes to. "Man, that's a nice sight to wake up to." Tien mentions as his hand curls around the hand that's on his arm.

I pinch at the skin on the back of his hand with an irritated hum. "I'm a married woman, remember?" I mention. "You lost your chance with me."

Tien chuckles as he sits up, his other hand rubbing at his head. "Thanks for the help, Dende," Tien smiles. "Where's Goku?" He gets to his feet, all three eyes searching for Majin Buu. "And where's Buu?"

I hum. "Vegeta's energy appeared on Earth, so I assume Goku left to fuse with him in order to defeat Majin Buu. Majin Buu followed him."

Tien nods. "I see."

"Hey, uh, how come he's good again?" Mr. Satan asks as he stumbles towards us.

I grumble and glare over at him. "Majin Buu could heal others, couldn't he? Why is it weird for someone else to do it?" I snap at him.

"It's okay, Mara," Dende chuckled. "He's not used to the things we can do."

I grumble again, my arms crossing over my chest.

~*****~

There's a new power level on the planet. It's different-- but familiar. Although there wasn't a name I could put to it, I knew it was the fusion of Goku and Vegeta. From the feel of it, he was giving Majin Buu a run for his money.

"It's okay, Bee, I got ya!" Mr. Satan chirped from below Dende. "Let's just hope this guy's got me."

I grumbled. "He wouldn't have to if you'd learned to fly properly." I mention irritably as I coast a little above Dende.

"Where exactly are we goin'?" Mr. Satan asks.

"Please, just be patient!" Dende pleaded.

I drifted a little higher to see the explosions to beginning to ring out. "What? Where's that rumblin' noise comin' from?" Mr. Satan wondered.

"That's the sound of Goku fighting with Majin Buu!" Dende explained.

"It's not just Goku, Dende-- It's the both of them." I retort.

"We're not goin' over there, are we? Say we're not!" Mr. Satan complained.

"We have to!" I snap down at him. "They might need our help!"

"I'm gonna set you down, right here." Dende states. Mr. Satan stammers for a moment, but it's cut off by Dende just dropping him. Mr. Satan lets out a bellow as Dende and I land on the ground. I shush him violently.

"Be quiet! Do you want Majin Buu to find us!" I hiss at him. Mr. Satan stops screaming and nods pathetically. Dende and I ran ahead, scaling the cliff sides until we're high enough to see the fight. My eyes narrow in on the man standing on the ground, gazing upwards at what looks like a giant sun.

"Oh, wow!" Dende gasps.

I smell the familiar, sweaty stench from Mr. Satan as he peers over the cliff besides me. "Who is that person? He kinda looks like that Goku guy, but different!"

"It is-- Kinda," I mention as I lean over a little more to get a better look. "It's Goku and Vegeta-- fused together! Can you sense that power, Dende? It's incredible! And he's not even Super Saiyan!"

Dende laughed. "Yes! This means there's still hope!"

"What'd you mean by that?" Mr. Satan asked.

"I mean, with those two fused together, the Earth has a very good chance of survival!" Dende explains happily.

"Two, right... Yeah... so strange..." Mr. Satan trails off. "No, Bee! Wait!" Mr. Satan crawled after the puppy. "You shouldn't be goin' off on your own like that, boy!" He explain while the puppy kept barking at something. Something spooks Mr. Satan, because he turns to us, his face pale and twitching. He gestures us over. "Mr. Guardian, Mara--" He stammers.

Dende and I share a confused look before we crawl forwards. Now I see why the fusion was just standing there. Buu is holding a massive ball of energy-- it's almost a quarter of the planets size. "How did Buu create that much energy!?" Dende gasped. "He could split the Earth in two with that power!"

I can't hear what they're saying, but when Buu volleys that towards the fusion, I clutch onto the side of the ridge. The fusion does not move from his spot-- he holds the ball of energy at bay before sending it back towards Buu with a kick. It flies overhead the pink monster, and into the atmosphere before denotating. "Oh, wow!" I gasp. "That's amazing--" The fusion disappears from sight, and reappears in front of Buu. My body begins to quake at the power he begins to build up, until he's a Super Saiyan. It washes over me with varying different sensations. Goku's warm energy, and Vegeta's mouthwatering energy-- it's almost too much for me.

I watched in amazement as energy crackled off of my skin. "I'm going to go look for Mr. Satan," Dende mentioned. "Will you be all right by yourself?"

I nod eagerly. "Yes, go find him, I don't need protection." I vaguely pay attention as he takes off. I try to keep my eyes on the battle. They're fast, faster than I'd ever experienced. But I kept up, nonetheless.

My eyes clench shut involuntarily as the fusion lets out a blast that obliterates Buu on the spot. He's nothing but goo floating in the air. Buu reforms after a moment, and he's pissed. Steam is pouring from the small holes all over his body as he growls aloud. They're both clouded in the steam, and I assume that Buu's trying to obscure the fusions eyesight, but seasoned warriors like Goku and Vegeta didn't need their eyesight to fight a battle well. Buu pops out of the cloud, beaten and injured.

"Wow, he's got him on the ropes!" I mention as Dende and Mr. Satan return. I give a disgusted shriek as Majin Buu lets out a roar of fury and flies into the fusions mouth, contorting his body into a disgusting shape. "That's disgusting!"

With a roar, the fusion powers, and his body shrinks back to it's normal size. Large welts appear along his body where the fusion slams his fists against it. It only takes a moment before Buu is forcing himself out of the fusions body.

Buu shrieks again, and the sky darkens around him. "YOU LED ME TO THIS, YOU MORTAL FREAK! IT'S YOUR FAULT!" Buu screams.

"Oh, no! It looks like Buu is really out of control!" Dende exclaims.

"Isn't he always?" Mr. Satan questions.

"Yes, but this is like when he was trapped in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber!" Dende explains. "Somehow, Majin Buu's anger plunges him deeper into his evil power supply. In a rage, he was capable of punching a hole between dimensions! Take a look."

"Oh, boy--" I stammer. "If he's mad enough, he could do it again. That would be disastrous to the entire universe. It could cause an imbalance if he breaks through too many walls!"

"YOU MAKE FUN OF BUU! NO ONE MAKES FUN OF MAJIN BUU!" He shouts. There are several openings appearing the sky. The fusion attempts to stop him, but is stopped by a strange forcefield. The fusion finally breaks through and punches Buu across the jaw, stopping his rampage. Thee openings in the sky close up.

"Well, if you ask me, that was a little too close for comfort!" The fusion teases once Buu's head pops out of the water. "But have the decency to learn your lesson. There's no way you could ever beat me! Unless you'd like to try that technique you've been saving."

"Why is he giving him a chance?!" I ask wildly. "Why the hell did we leave the fate of the Earth in the hands of two battle hungry idiots!? We're as good as dead! Those two are too arrogant to finish the damn fight! Always hungry for more! GOD!" I have to cover my mouth to stop the irritated shrieks from escaping my throat.

"Now, now, Mara, I'm sure Vegito has a plan--" Dende tries reassuring me.

I growl out angrily. "That's a stupid name for a stupid person-- stupid Saiyan idiots!"

~*****~

He actually gives him a chance to fight back. Buu tries his best to keep up, but ultimately gets blown apart by Vegito again. Buu reforms again, clearly angry at him. "NO WAY! CURSE YOU! YOU PIG!" Buu snarls.

"You're the one with the pink skin!" Vegito retorts nonchalantly. "Hey, don't get down in the dumps! You've won every fight you've been in! You know everyone meets their better sooner or later!"

"No, I won't lose! You'll see!" Buu snaps. Buu begins spitting out his ghosts. "SUPER GHOST KAMIKAZE ATTACK!"

"You're not being very original. That attack belongs to Maten." Vegito mentions.

Buu coos. "So you know, huh? Then you knw how dangerous these little ghouls can be! The slightest tough and you will explode!"

"I'd hoped you'd do better than these childish pranks." Vegito teases before destroying all five at once with what he calls, a Banshee Blast. "Did you really think that ridiculous attack would work? It's nothing more than a kids game! A game dreamt up by two children. Come on! You can do better than that, can't you?"

"I knew that it wouldn't work," Buu retorted. "I was conducting a little experiment! I know all of your friends' attacks! And I've already come up with a variation to this one! You'll love it!" Buu bulks up and spits out more ghosts. Vegito doesn't seem all that impressed. "You think it's going to be the same? Well, you're wrong!"

"Yeah, I noticed you had a bigger litter this time!" Vegito teased.

"Fool! Mock me while you can!" Buu growled. "SUPER KAMIKAZE GHOST ATTACK!"

Vegito moves out of the way, but the little ghosts are ready, their hands cupped together in a familiar fashion. "They're using the Kamehameha! All of them!" I mutter.

The energy blasts follow after Vegito across the battle field until there's an explosion in one of the ravines. "So it's a kids game, is it! It was enough to beat you! LOSER!" Buu shouts.

My gaze flies up as an energy ball hits Buu straight on the head from behind. It obliterates his head, but it's not for long. "Too bad it's not permanent. It's a nice improvement!" Vegito teases.

The blobs from Buu's head reform into smaller heads, all glaring at the fused Saiyan. "How did you do that?!"

"Instant Transmission! It's the only way to travel!" Vegito chirps. "Hey, that was a clever idea, using the Kamehameha Wave, Buu!" Buu growls angrily. "No, really! And then that Galic Gun! Whoa! Yeah, I coulda been killed! Well, maybe I am exaggerating a little bit. But I could've at least gotten a bruise or a little cut!"

"WILL YOU STOP MAKING HIM MAD AND FINISH HIM OFF!!" I shout as loudly as I can.

Vegito turns his gaze down on me for a moment with a wide grin on his face. "In due time you'll get me all to yourself, Mara!"

I grunt as a flush covers my face. It's short lived as Buu begins an assault, but he's no match for Vegito.

"You can't even lay a hand on me and you won't accept defeat! Your pride is blinding you!" Vegito says to Buu after an unsuccessful attack. "Can't you see the writing on the wall! You're done! Cooked! It's all over! Admit that you're wrong and surrender! It's up to you! Do you want to continue, or not?"

"LET'S GO, BLONDIE! YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T WIN! THAT'S WHY YOU WANT ME TO SURRENDER, RIGHT?" Buu barks. "Come on! I'm calling your bluff, coward! What's wrong? Are you chicken?"

"Oh, great--" I whine.

"What is it, Mara?" Mr. Satan asks.

"We're dead, that's what." I whine.

"YOU'RE JUST A PAPER TIGER! IF YOU CAN FINISH ME OFF, LET'S SEE IT! COME ON! DO IT!" Buu continues to egg.

Vegito smirks. "Fine! Let's end this thing right now, so I can get to my wife."

I grunt, my chin jutting out irritably. Buu just grins. "I'm sure she'll enjoy annoying candy."

"See?" I mention.

"No, Vegeta! Goku!" Dende shouts as a small, brown orb appears from where Vegito was.

Buu begins to cackle loudly, grasping onto the piece of candy. "YES!" He cheers like a child. "MAJIN BUU! BIG FAT BUU! Take that, sucker!" He shouts at the brown orb. "YES!" He continues to cheer. "Coffee flavored candy! That's my fave! Should I chew you to bits, or lick you to death?"

"Candy?" Mr. Satan repeats.

Dende makes a disgusted noise. "Why coffee? That's gross!"

"IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT?!" I bellow at the guardian.
