Chapter 17: Majin Buu!
~
Everyone looked at Son Goku with anticipation.
Did Goku really have a plan to defeat Majin Buu?
Everyone doubted it, as Majin Buu's demonic and overwhelming energy kept pouring endlessly across the entire Earth.
"We can try to surround Majin Buu and attempt to defeat him. If we can't, then we'll use the Genki Dama (Spirit Bomb)," Goku said after deep thought.
He always loved fighting strong opponents.
But according to the Kaioshin, Majin Buu had absorbed the energy of the Legendary Super Saiyan, Broly.
It was easy for everyone to assume that Majin Buu would only grow stronger and stronger as the battle went on.
Shin also mentioned that Majin Buu could absorb people, taking all of their techniques, strength, and even memories.
That was terrifying.
If anyone fell into Majin Buu's hands, he could become truly unstoppable.
"Kakarot, even though the Genki Dama is strong... Majin Buu is immortal and his body regenerates instantly. Didn't you hear what this dwarf said?" Vegeta spoke angrily, pointing at Shin and calling him a dwarf.
"You…" Hearing that, Kibito felt insulted and wanted to defend the Supreme Kai, Shin.
"Kibito…" Shin stopped him with just a single glance.
"This is bad... maybe even Trunks won't be able to defeat Majin Buu," Gohan said anxiously.
"Even if Son could use Super Saiyan 3 indefinitely, I doubt he could defeat Majin Buu…" Piccolo spoke, clearly shaken by Majin Buu's power.
Hearing Piccolo's words, Son Goku clenched his fists, feeling for the first time as if defeat was certain before the battle even began.
But after only a few seconds, his resolve returned.
"Well then, we still have one last solution…" Goku said loudly, reigniting hope in everyone's hearts.
"One last solution… Son, don't tell me…" Piccolo frowned slightly, then looked at Goku in shock, as if he had guessed his plan.
"Yes… I mean Fusion," Goku said with a smile, his fighting spirit reignited.
"Forget it. I'll never fuse with you, Kakarot," Vegeta said coldly, his tone full of pride.
On the side, the Kaioshin looked at him as if he were an idiot.
You're refusing the only way to save yourself and the entire universe from Majin Buu?
Do you even have a brain?
"We don't need to, Vegeta…" Goku said with a smile.
"Hey, don't tell me you…" Vegeta's eyes widened slightly.
At that moment, while everyone was silent, they felt Goten and Trunks' energy approaching rapidly.
When the two arrived, the Kaioshin looked at them in terror, shocked by the power the children held.
Piccolo, Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan were equally stunned.
Goten had reached Super Saiyan 2, while Trunks was standing there as a Super Saiyan 3.
"Trunks! When did you master Super Saiyan 3?!" Vegeta shouted, his shock reflecting everyone's feelings.
"Oh, that…" Trunks smirked arrogantly, unintentionally recalling what had happened only minutes ago.
...
A few minutes earlier, Trunks and Goten stood in the arena,
staring in a certain direction, both frowning.
"Trunks, do you really think we can beat that monster…?" Goten asked fearfully, having felt Majin Buu's terrifying energy.
"What's wrong with you, Goten…? We've been training for this moment," Trunks said with a grin before instantly transforming into Super Saiyan 3.
Seeing Trunks' Super Saiyan 3 form, Goten remembered that Trunks also had access to Super Saiyan 4.
And even more shocking, Trunks had perfected a version of Super Saiyan 3 that multiplied its power not by 400, but by 2000 times.
Witnessing that, Goten's courage returned. He transformed into Super Saiyan 2, and together they flew off towards Goku and the others.
...
"I didn't ask about that… I asked why you even have Super Saiyan 3?!" Vegeta roared furiously, feeling like Trunks was dodging the real explanation.
"Oh, that… I mastered it a while ago, but I don't use it much since my body's not ready for it yet," Trunks replied casually, returning to his base form.
"That's true… even if you can hold Super Saiyan 3 for a long time, it'll still damage your body every second," Goku nodded, feeling helpless.
He had originally planned to gather energy from everyone to sustain his Super Saiyan 3 long enough to fight Majin Buu. But he had just remembered—Super Saiyan 3's strain on the body surpassed even Kaio-Ken x20.
"Alright, Trunks, Goten… listen carefully to what I'm about to say!" Piccolo clapped his hands, drawing their attention.
"Ahem… the plan is…" After getting their focus, he began to explain the strategy they had agreed upon.
"Haah… Fusion? Don't make me laugh, I'll defeat Majin Buu with my own power!" Trunks boasted arrogantly, making even Vegeta want to smack him.
"I agree with Trunks. Even though Majin Buu is strong, Trunks is powerful… oh, and so am I," Goten said, emphasizing Trunks' strength while remembering his Super Saiyan 4 form.
"Trunks, Goten, you two a—" Gohan was about to scold them, but Goku interrupted.
"Alright then, it's decided… let's go and kick that Majin Buu's ass!" Goku clapped his fists together, his eyes blazing with excitement.
"Hmph. That suits me just fine…" Vegeta smirked arrogantly.
"Eh… eh… eh… EHHHHH?!" Shin was losing his mind with each passing moment. In the end, everyone flew off toward Majin Buu while he stood there in shock.
"Ah… Kibito, let's go. Maybe we can convince them to fuse after they witness Majin Buu's true power."
Kibito nodded, and together they rushed toward Majin Buu, preparing for the great battle.

Elsewhere, the evil sorcerer Babidi was smiling at his loyal, demonic warrior—Majin Buu.
Majin Buu stood there in his original form, though he looked even more sinister and powerful than in the anime.
His small, pink-skinned body wore no shirt, just loose white pants.
"Maaajiiin Buuuu… obey me and kill everyone on this planet, including those damned Kaioshin!" Babidi commanded with a disgusting, sinister laugh.
To him, Majin Buu was like a servant—a powerful one who obeyed all his commands.
His invincible, loyal servant!
Majin Buu glanced at Babidi, then simply smiled and waved his hand.
A terrifying crimson-red wave of energy swallowed the sorcerer, erasing him completely.
Yes… Majin Buu was truly loyal!
"To myself, that is… you annoying insect." Buu sneered before turning his gaze in a certain direction.
And there, at the very edge of his sight,
he saw Goku and the others rushing toward him at full speed.
"Hmm… they'll be delicious," Majin Buu licked his lips greedily, making it obvious he wanted to absorb them all to increase his power.
