Universe 16's Story, or the Fusion of Two Lives.

Chapter 1 : The End of the Battle against Buu

Vegetto was standing stall right before Buu, golden hair raised on his skull. He was wearing two yellow earrings that allowed the fusion between Gokû and Vegeta to become a reality, as well as a pair of white gauntlets and shoes Vegeta used to wear, with a dark blue tunic on top of an orange-yellowish T-shirt (whom would qualify as looking like the color of some toads's excrements). Fasten to his hips was a dark blue with a slight note of purple obi. A victorious smile was stretching his thin lips as he was already planning on the next step.

"I have to free my friends… But how ?" was thinking Vegetto staring at the invicible piece of gum that was his opponent. He did have thought of entering inside the monster's body, but what if he couldn't get out ? Buu, fists clenched, and with an expression of pure rage on his face, yelled:

- Damn you! It…

- Shouldn't have happened ? finished Vegetto with a mocking grin, before going on. Don't worry, even I am surprised...

Vegetto paused a bit before going even further, widening his rictus :

- By the fact that I'm far stronger than you now, I meant.

Buu clenched his fists even more. A vein on his forehead was beating, menacing to break any moment. Sweatdrops were running down his pink face. Teeth tight, he cussed before saying out loud:

- You don't leave me any choice…

He concentrated himself, gathering all his forces for his next attack. Vegetto did not flinch, eager to see what the monster had in stock for him. Buu contracted his stomach and felt a tickling sensation all along his oesophagus. Then, he puffed out and opened his mouth to eject an almost foggy whitish substance. He repeated the process faster for four more times. The floating things slowly took shape of ghosts wearing heads similar to Buu's. They threw an evil look at Vegetto while laughing. Behind them, Buu shouted out :

- Take that! Super-Ghost-Kamikaze Attack!!

- I see... replied Vegetto, taking a fighting stance. One of Gotenk's techniques...

- You know that one? Noticed Buu. Then you do know how strong this one is! If one of them touch you, it's a guaranteed explosion!

Buu made a big gesture toward the saiyan :

- Attack!!! Commanded Buu.

The kamikaze ghosts rushed onto the saiyan warrior, who disappeared from their view. He reappeared on their left, arm raised in order to throw a new attack.

- Here comes a lil' something for ya!! Shouted Vegetto lowering his arm.

Five genki balls were flown away from his fingers and smashed onto each one of the five ghosts, who exploded at once. A soon as the smoke dispersed, Vegetto said :

- You really thought this was actually going to work ? This is an attach thought by a kid. You so seem to be in a fix.

Buu freed a shriek of rage.

At the same time, in the Kaioh Shin Kai, the Rô KaiôShin was fulminating :

- Stop playing!! Finish him now, nitwit!! Crickey... He's become too strong to consider this battle seriously...

- I would have hoped you to be stronger... Threw Vegetto, arms crossed. I didn't even warm up...

- This ain't fair, you used the fusion!! Buu cried out, rushing toward Vegetto to deal him with an elbow blow, which Vegetto blocked using his sole.

- So what ? Asked the saiyan while parrying some more punches, kicks and whatever was usable as a blow. Aren't YOU the one who's been absorbing every one?

After a run of blows each blocked with the warrior's feet and knees, Vegetto amused, said :

- Did ya see that? I can defeat you only by using my legs!!

Meanwhile Dende, carrying Mr Satan, was getting closer to the place where the battle was raging. He absolutely wanted to see who had the upper side, and be useful to Gokû provided he could. Vibrations coming from the battleground were interfering at times with his flight, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Mister Satan asked :

- Wh... What are all those rumblings ? An earthquake ?

- It's Gokû who's been fighting. Simply replied the God, hastening the pace.

At this moment Vegetto dealt an enormous kick into Buu's face, breaking the latter's nose in the process.

- You're way too weak! Taunted the super saiyan. You just cannot defeat me, whatsoever!

The expression of pain melt with anger on Buu's face disappeared to give way to a vicious grin.

- Hey... Do you like coffee candies? He asked to a surprised Vegetto who raised both eyebrows.

He trained his antenna toward the Saiyan and a bright beam got out striking the warrior full shot, Vegetto was being transformed inot a candy and then fell down into his opponent's hand. A large grin stretched the monster's lips, who shouted out :

- YEEEEES!! I got ya, bastard!!! And all this because you were being so over confident!!

Shibito opened both eyes wide from the surprise and despair engendered by what he was seing in the crystal ball he had in front of him. The Old KaiôShin was crying out loud in horror :

- Halfwitted moron! I knew it!! We're all screwed now!!

- Haha! Now that you're a candy, you're defenseless! I shall eat you, it's Game Over for you! Was yelling Buu at the candy he held in his hand.

Buu was about to loosen his grasp in order to swallow the saiyan, but without a warning his fist came hitting his face. He let loose of the candy from the pain, and place both hand on his face. The candy was floating right before his eyes, and begun speaking :

- Oops, I'm so sorry, but it seems as though I still am far too strong for ya. Your opponent is now the mightiest candy in the Universe. What are you gonna do about it?

Surprised, Buu lifted his look toward the tiny coffee ball and shouted out :

- What?!

- You're still having problems. Resumed the candy. Now that I'm tiny, it'll be tougher for you to actually hit me. Take that!!

And the candy rushed into the monster's stomach who folded himself in two, breathless, before the candy went upward to hit Buu's chin. Buu sketched an easy to evade move in a desperate try to catch the candy which was striking him on and on. The candy went through his mouth, piercing the weakened monster's neck nape, and cut half of his antenna while it was at it..

- Oooooops, Sorry for that. You said you wanted to eat me, then I threw myself into yer mouth, but I seem to have pierced through it... So, do you want any more candy?

Fulminating, Buu gave Vegetto his original appearance.

- What? You don't want me to remain a candy? It seems like you have no trick left in stock...

Shibito wiped out his forehead and let a relief blow. The Rô Kaiôshin caught the crystal ball and yelled :

- That's it! Finish him NOW!!

- Well, I'm tired of all of this. I'll end it here. I give you ten seconds. Make your prayers! Threatened the saiyan while beginning to count down.

"What the heck are you waiting for? Was thinking Vegetto. You do not have any other mean than this one..."

Buu had his arm in front of his head by reflex. The countdown was already at 5.

"What am I going to do now? I have no choice left, I have to absorb him... But, How?"

Then his face brightened when he recalled that part of his antenna that Vegetto cut earlier on was still lying down there on the ground. He made it levitate up to reaching his opponent's back, who was well aware of the danger but was only waiting for that. When the countdown reached 10, the gum shard stretched out all over Vegetto in order to cover hm entirely. He concentrated his strengths to generate his shield before feeling himself being caught up by his opponent.

When he opened his eyes, he was right inside the monster's body. He grinned while wiping out a sweat drop from his face. His shield did work! Now, he had to free every one.

Meanwhile, Buu was gloating. At last he did absorb each and every threat that had been standing in front of him. Nothing could prevent him from becoming the master of the Universe. He would start by making of this stupid planet a nice firework ! He would then fly to the nearest life source and would destroy it as well ! And so would be the fate of every living being in this Universe ! Shibito was feeling as if he were at Hell's gate : their only hope to vanquish Buu was no more. He was punching the ground when the Ol' God interrupted:

- He has not been absorbed : Look! Buu didn't transform. Vegetto must still be safe inside somehow...

Filled with brand new hopes, Shibito lifted his head. All may not be over after all...

Deafened by the Djinn's evil laughter that was echoing inside the whole body, Vegetto was savoring the success of his plan.

- Well, I can let my shield down now...

But a tad bit of hesitation made him think against it. On the brink of relaxing his muscles, and his protection at the same time, something held him back. A tiny "what if" that was resounding in his ears that made him decide against it.

In a handful of seconds he made his way through the monster's inner body and then suddenly came upon Trunks, Goten, Gohan and Piccolo, each one of them locked inside a sort of pink cocoon linked to the ground and ceiling of this bio-organical daedalum.

"So now, I have to get'em out of those cocoon and find a way out..."

Vegetto trained his arm towards the cocoons and begun charging a ki blast.

"So be it... I shall start by freeing Gohan..."

The pink monster was going upward in the air, with his right arm up toward the sky, a victorious grin on his lips, when something odd happened: He was normally supposed to transform after each absorption. This time was different! He lowered his arm and looked his hand palms. What was going on? He felt a tickle going through his spine up to his brain. He held his head with both hands and felt an inner heat where his prisoners were held captive. This made him fear the worst... When he looked at his hand palms, he saw that his fingers where back to their original form, observing he now had Piccolo's appearance, he threw an unbeliever glance at his outfit. This had to end at once !

Vegetto's rescue mission was over at last and he was about to leave the place with every one when before his very eyes... Buu appeared. Like a tiny replica of himself inside his own body. Astonished, Vegetto raised both eyebrows. Buu asked him:

- What are you about to do there?

- Leaving with every one, why? Sarcastically answered Vegetto.

- I won't allow it !! Yelled Buu.

The saiyan calmly raised his arm toward the walls of Buu's skull and said :

- Don't act foolishly otherwise I make a hole inside your body!

A large grin showed up on the pink monster 's face :

- Well, be my guest. He invited with a laughter.

Vegetto frowned an eyebrow and let go of the two cocoon he was holding with his right hand, directing this very hand toward the wall and shooting an enormous ki blast at it. That blast pierced the organic wall and let way to a tiny tunnel which immediately closed up on itself. The saiyan's eyes were wide open by astonishment he then drove them in Buu's direction, seeking for an explanation. The latter one was laughing even louder and said :

- You're that tiny. What were you hoping for ? You're in my dwelling-place here. Even with my reduced strength, I have the upper side !

- Oh, bleh… All I have to do is reduce it even more... Calmly stated Vegetto grabbing a fifth cocoon's link with an arm.

Buu plainly opened his eyes and shouted out in a panic :

- Don't touch that ! Do NOT tear it out !

- You're freakin' out? Interesting ... was analyzing the warrior while tightening his grip.

- Stop it! I won't be myself anymore if you tear it out!!!

As an answer Vegetto pulled a little bit more on the 'cable'. Buu rushed forward in a single leap and begun crying out:

- Don't touch thaaaaaaaaat !

Right before Buu could hit Vegetto, this one tore out the cocoon that contained the kinder part of Buu with one yank. Buu fell to the ground and shrieked once more before melting with the organic floor. Vegetto sighed, got back all the cocoons containing his friends, and rushed diligently in search of an exit. Buu's muscles tensed in pain, giving away various shriek. Some steam was already getting out of his skull. He felt like he was being mark by a branding iron.

As soon as the saiyan found the exit, he hastened his velocity to get through the contracting hole and found himself outside again. Vegetto got his usual size instantly. Half surprised, half relieved, he carefully put his friends down to the ground before resuming the hostilities with a dark look. But Buu was bending in all kind of ways right in the air, as if he was stroke with convulsions and spasms. Hands placed on his chest and throat, he was shrieking loudly. Apparently the removal of the cocoons was not painless. Vegetto was admiring the changes in the monster's shape.

Firstly he grew into a muscle mountain, raising his strength tremendously. Vegetto was beginning to think it had been an error, but immediately after, he shrinked and his muscles were melting, his figures went more defined. He was looking like a kid and his ki was now lower.

When the transformation was complete, Buu stopped his piercing shrieks and let both arms down to his body, gasping for breath. As soon as he gathered his thoughts, a vicious rictus displayed on his face. He let a huge shout out, not a painful one like earlier on, but rather a shout that only a being inhabited by insanity could let out. He then trained his arm downward and threw a big devastating fire ball. Prompt to react, Vegetto launched one energy ball into it, making Buu's try to blow up the Earth being rejected into outerspace. Sweating and irritated, Vegetto shouted out :

- Are you insane or what ! Ok here I come !

Showing no attention to his opponent, Buu raised his arm again, planning on throwing a much larger fire ball. Yet, Vegetto got in front of him in a split of a second, put both his hands joined by the lower part of their palms, and sent a horrendously strong energy wave onto his opponent. Buu was burned to the root and his destructing ball was no more, disintegrated into Vegetto's one. He threw one of his full of hatred glance but couldn't parry the knee attack he received to his belly. Ejected far away, he then heard his opponent shout out :

- I'm gonna end it NOW!!

There, Vegetto appeared right before his very eyes and trained his hand in his direction. Buu felt a violent wave in his stomach, then had weird feeling, as if a part of him was dying. He opened his eyes and noticed his opponent had made him an enormous hole where his belly was supposed to be. Dumbstruck, he couldn't react straight away. Vegetto reiterated the attack until only a tiny part of Buu's body was left.

- Farewell ! I hope for a rematch when you reincarnate into somebody of good-will !

He then made the last part of Buu disappear in a single wave. The threat was finally eradicated. Vegetto sighed and his hair came back to ebony, so did his eyes. He wiped out his lightly muggy forehead with one hand and whispered :

- I did it...

- He did it ! Cried out Dende, tears of joy in his eyes. Vegetto grabbed Dende's shoulder while this latter one hurried to catch a skeptical Mr Satan holding tightly his dog. Vegetto put both forefinger and middle finger on his forehead and disappeared leaving Gohan, Goten, Trunks and Piccolo unconscious to the ground. He reappeared in the gods territory at bit taken aback that Mr Satan was with them. But Dende's gaze was puzzled, so he would just leave it as that, saying nothing. Shibito and the Rô Kaiôshin were there, happier than ever.

- Well done my boy ! said the dean patting Vegetto on the back.

Now, the most important thing was to resurrect every one and give Earth its initial state. But the Dragon Balls were unusable at the moment because of Bulma's wish a couple of days earlier. Vegetto deeply sighed when he was looking at the namek besides him who was desperately trying to calm the self proclaimed "champion of the Universe". Why did he even... The Nameks ! Bloody hell that was it! Vegetto, refilled with brand new hopes, lifted his head toward the sky and shouted out :

- King Kai ! Can you hear me ?

- I can. Answered the lord. I was watching all along and witnessed your victory on Buu. Congratulations my boy.

- Thank you Master. But now I would use your help...

- How can I help you ?

- I'd like you to allow me to speak with the Nameks...

A dubious silence followed this request. King Kai finally let out :

- I do not know if this regulatory...

- Please! Begged Vegetto. It is an emergency !

- Well, very well... Conceded at last King Kai before scanning for the namekkian planet.

A handful of seconds later, Vegetto heard the lord telling him :

- It's done, I linked you to them !

- Thank you Master! Namekkian people, can you hear me ?

- We can hear you loud and clear. Replied the namekkian elder's voice in Vegetto's ears.

Mister Satan put both hands to his ears and told Dende with a freaked out voice:

- Lad, I'm hearing voices in my head ! This is unusual, I assure you !

- Shhh ! Cut Dende. He is speaking to my folk !

The earthling winked before putting his attention onto the strange man who was fixing the sky with a full of hopes look.

- Chief, I do need to use your Dragon Balls to restore my planet and resurrect my people !

"Another fruitcake..." Thought Mister Satan while trying to resume searching where those voices were really from.

- I have the Dragon Balls next to me. We enhanced their power, you can now resurrect as many people as you wish! Just tell me what it is you're wishing and I shall translate it to Porunga !

- Sound, thanks ! Firstly, I would like to restore Earth's landscape and buildings back to the way they were prior the fights with Buu, secondly, I wish to resurrect every Earth inhabitants except criminals, and lastly... I'd like to be separated back to Gokû and Vegeta again.

Vegetto saw Earth's landscape being restored through the dean's crystal ball and then felt the ki of every inhabitant of Earth flood through him... He closed his eyes, in wait for the separation... which never occurred. He heard a whisper in his ears :

- Sorry, but your body's separation is far beyond Porunga's powers.

Vegetto felt his heart plummet into his stomach. He then tried his best to hide the disappointment and ended saying:

- This is no big deal. Use the third wish for yourselves... I have no more use of it... Thanks for all Chief.

- Very well. Take care.

And the communication broke. How would he announce it to Chichi and Bulma ? He feared above all else to be source of disappointment for his kith and kin. Vegetto took his leave from the dean and Shibito, bringing back Dende and Mr Satan at the same time. Back on Earth, Vegetto was blankly looking at Dende who begun healing Gohan, then Piccolo, Goten and lastly Trunks. The four of them being fully healed up begun to recover consciousness, they got on their feet, trying to find a mark. Their eyes stopped suddenly on Vegetto, who seemed mute. He smiled at them and held his hand to them :

- Cling to me, we're goin' home...

At Dende's palace, the hubbub was deafening...

- If we are here, alive, does it mean we won the battle ? Mumbled Bulma full of hope.

- It seems so... Answered Yamcha. I don't feel Buu's ki anymore... However, there's an unknown ki... a very strong one.

- Gokû's ? Asked Chichi with eyes full of light.

Kulilin shaked his head to her.

- It is a little bit like his but… also… like Vegeta's...

- Vegeta ? You got news of Vegeta ? Shouted Bulma out, in despair.

- Errrrrr... I don't know... I quite don't understand it... Babbled the fighter, scratching his forehead's right temple with his forefinger.

- I can hear ya, Kulilin, reassured Yamcha. It indeed seems strange. It is... familiar and... warm... like Goku's… but … narrow and … melancholic... like Vegeta's.

- Aaaaaargh ! I'm fed up of being the only one not to understand ! Grumbled Bulma.

- Me too... Sighed Chichi.

- He's here ! Exclaimed Kulilin.

Every warrior squared up, expecting to see a new foe. Vegetto, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Piccolo, Mr Satan and Dende appeared in the middle of the crowd.

- Videl sweety ! Shouted Mr Satan jumping onto his offspring.

- Who is this guy ? Asked Videl pointing toward Vegetto, and ignoring his father at the same time.

Silence ruled for a couple of minutes. The saiyan finally spoke out :

- They used the Potara.

- The what? Asked Bulma and Chichi, synchronous.

- Potara. Repeated Vegetto. This is a pair of earrings that allow two being to fuse... permanently.

- Perm... Begun Gohan.

- Yeah ! said Vegetto with a start of a smile. I'm gonna remain like this... forevermore...

Chichi fainted. She who thought her husband was back. Regarding Bulma, ah well... she remained mute.

No sequel will be given here. A comic shall come.
