Chereads / In Dragon Ball as Goten Power Awaits / Chapter 16 - Earths Strongests Warriors

Chapter 16 - Earths Strongests Warriors

The battle between Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks and Kid Buu raged on, a chaotic clash of power and skill that left the surrounding battlefield in ruins. With Super Janemba's powers now merged with Kid Buu, his abilities had become twisted, and his fighting style was even more unpredictable. Kid Buu's body flickered, creating portals and warping through dimensions as he launched devastating attacks, his deranged laughter filling the air with an unsettling intensity.

Gotenks darted back and forth, his golden Super Saiyan 3 aura blazing like a comet, clashing with Kid Buu in an unending barrage of punches, kicks, and energy blasts. Each strike sent shockwaves rippling through the landscape, shaking the earth and sending debris flying in every direction. The power levels between them were evenly matched, but it was clear that Kid Buu's newfound abilities were adding an edge to the battle.

Kid Buu phased in and out of sight, appearing suddenly to Gotenks's left before launching an energy blast from a surprise portal on his right. Gotenks barely managed to dodge, gritting his teeth in frustration. "Hold still, you weirdo!" he shouted, swinging a punch that seemed to pass right through Kid Buu's twisted, grinning face.

Kid Buu countered with a twisted grin of his own, a chaotic glint in his eyes. He opened a portal above Gotenks and dropped down with a powerful kick, landing squarely on Gotenks's shoulder and sending him crashing into the ground. Gotenks pushed himself up, coughing from the impact but refusing to back down.

"I'm not letting you win, freak!" he yelled, gathering energy as he powered up even further. His aura flared, golden hair whipping wildly around him as he concentrated, preparing to launch a full-power attack.

Kid Buu, however, seemed to revel in the chaos. He created multiple portals around him, each one sparking with dark energy. Through each portal, dozens of energy blasts emerged, bombarding Gotenks from all directions. Gotenks twisted and turned, evading as many blasts as he could, but a few managed to strike him, sending him stumbling back as he struggled to maintain his footing.

"This is insane!" Gotenks muttered, barely dodging another blast.

Channeling his energy, Gotenks unleashed his Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack once more, creating an army of ghostly clones. The ghostly figures floated in the air around Kid Buu, grinning with the same mischievous expression as Gotenks himself.

Kid Buu watched them with fascination, momentarily distracted as they swarmed him, each ghost exploding on contact. The battlefield erupted in a cascade of explosions, each one tearing into the ground and sending plumes of smoke and debris into the sky. But as the smoke cleared, Kid Buu emerged unscathed, his wild eyes gleaming with a mixture of delight and menace.

Gotenks grimaced, realizing that Kid Buu's regeneration was just too powerful. He was putting everything he had into this battle, yet Kid Buu's chaotic power and resilience made him nearly unstoppable.

Seeing an opening, Kid Buu created a portal above Gotenks and unleashed a series of rapid punches, each one enhanced with Super Janemba's energy. The blows hit Gotenks from all angles, each impact pushing him to his limit. Gotenks felt his energy draining, his Super Saiyan 3 power beginning to wane under the relentless assault.

Finally, with a defiant yell, Gotenks threw one last powerful punch, sending Kid Buu flying back. But the effort left him exhausted, his energy reserves dangerously low. Before he could gather himself, a sharp pang coursed through him. His fusion time was up.

In an instant, Gotenks split back into Goten and Trunks, both boys collapsing to the ground, their energy completely spent. "No… not now," Goten gasped, looking up at Kid Buu with a mixture of exhaustion and fear. Trunks, equally drained, gritted his teeth, determined to stand despite their weakened state.

Kid Buu loomed over them, grinning as he prepared to finish them off. His hand glowed with dark energy, crackling ominously as he raised it high, ready to strike. But before he could land the final blow, a sudden, blinding light illuminated the battlefield.

A powerful, unwavering presence made itself known, and Kid Buu's attention shifted as he turned to face the new arrival. Standing tall, his aura calm yet incredibly powerful, was Gohan now transformed, his Ultimate form radiating with energy that outshone even Super Saiyan 3.

"Back away from my brother and Trunks!" Gohan's voice was steady, unwavering, as he locked eyes with Kid Buu. He stepped forward, his gaze fierce, and the ground beneath him seemed to tremble in response to his power. Goten and Trunks looked up, relief and awe mingling in their expressions.

Kid Buu paused, his grin fading slightly as he regarded this new opponent with an air of curiosity. He tilted his head, studying Gohan before letting out an animalistic scream, a primal roar that echoed across the battlefield. The fight was far from over.

Without hesitation, Gohan launched himself forward, his fists blazing with energy as he clashed with Kid Buu. Their fists met in midair, the impact sending shockwaves across the battlefield. Kid Buu, despite his chaotic power and Janemba's skills, found himself momentarily stunned by Gohan's sheer force.

Gohan pushed the advantage, striking with precision and power, each blow calculated and deliberate. Unlike Gotenks, who relied on flashy attacks and brash tactics, Gohan fought with a calm, focused intensity. He dodged Kid Buu's chaotic attacks, weaving in and out of his reach with an almost effortless grace.

Piccolo, watching from the sidelines, couldn't hide his amazement. "Gohan… he's incredible," he muttered, realizing that Gohan's training had elevated him to a new level. "This isn't the same Gohan who fought before. He's mastered his power."

Goten and Trunks watched in awe as Gohan held his own against Kid Buu, landing powerful blows that even the chaotic being couldn't fully evade. For the first time, it seemed like Kid Buu was on the defensive.

But Kid Buu, fueled by an insatiable desire for chaos, wasn't one to back down. He began warping in and out of portals, phasing through dimensions as he attempted to throw Gohan off balance. At one point, he created multiple copies of himself, each one darting around Gohan in a whirlwind of chaos.

Gohan, unfazed, took a deep breath and focused. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp as he pinpointed Kid Buu's true form amidst the illusions. With a swift, precise motion, he unleashed a powerful burst of energy, dispelling the clones and striking Kid Buu directly, sending him reeling backward.

The battlefield shook as the two continued their clash, each of Gohan's attacks landing with devastating force. But despite his newfound power, Gohan soon realized the extent of Kid Buu's resilience. No matter how many times he struck, Kid Buu regenerated, his body reforming almost instantly, as if he thrived on the damage.

Gohan gritted his teeth, focusing harder. He unleashed a barrage of energy blasts, each one aimed to keep Kid Buu off balance. But Kid Buu adapted quickly, creating a dimensional rift that absorbed the energy blasts, redirecting them back at Gohan.

Caught off guard, Gohan dodged, narrowly avoiding his own attacks. Kid Buu's grin widened as he opened more portals, using Janemba's skills to unleash an unpredictable assault. Each portal led to a different dimension, each strike coming from unexpected angles.

Gohan was beginning to feel the strain, the relentless nature of Kid Buu's attacks testing his endurance. He took a deep breath, steadying himself, but it was clear that the fight was far from over. Kid Buu was a monster of chaos, a force that couldn't be tamed or reasoned with.

For the first time, Gohan felt a hint of doubt. Kid Buu's chaotic, almost animalistic nature made him nearly impossible to predict, and his new powers from Janemba were pushing Gohan to his limits. But Gohan's determination burned brighter than ever.

Gohan was on the verge of collapse, his energy nearly drained as he struggled to keep up with Kid Buu's relentless assault. Each strike from Kid Buu seemed heavier than the last, and Gohan knew he was nearing his limit. Kid Buu's wild eyes gleamed with excitement as he prepared to deliver a final, devastating blow. Gohan braced himself, unsure if he could take another hit. Just as Kid Buu's hand shot forward, a powerful grip clamped onto Kid Buu's shoulder from behind.

Kid Buu's wild expression faltered as he turned his head to see a figure standing confidently behind him: a warrior with spiked hair and a powerful, golden aura. Kid Buu barely had time to react before the figure delivered a crushing punch, sending him flying across the battlefield, crashing into the rubble with an explosive impact.

Gohan, still catching his breath, looked up in astonishment. The figure turned to him with a familiar yet distinct grin, offering a hand. "Need a hand, Gohan?"

Gohan took the hand, rising to his feet as he looked his savior over. "You… you look like both my dad and Vegeta."

The warrior nodded, giving a confident smirk. "That's because I'm Vegito the fusion of Goku and Vegeta. But when we were fighting Janemba he vanished into a portal, we decided to head to the Supreme Kai's world for help."

Trunks, Goten, and Piccolo gathered around, their eyes wide with surprise and confusion. Piccolo crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow. "So, you're… Goku and Vegeta combined?"

Vegito nodded, his confident demeanor unchanged. "That's right. We found the Supreme Kai and Old Kai there, but Gohan had already left. After seeing the threat Earth was facing, Old Kai decided to help us out. He sacrificed his life force to bring Goku and Vegeta back to life and gave us the Potara earrings to fuse permanently into Vegito."

Goten and Trunks exchanged excited looks, barely able to contain their enthusiasm. "So cool!" Trunks exclaimed. "Are you stronger than Gotenks?"

Vegito chuckled. "Let's just say I'm more than enough for this guy." He turned his gaze to the smoke where Kid Buu had landed, his expression hardening. "And now it's time to end this once and for all."

Kid Buu emerged from the rubble, his expression twisting from surprise to pure fury. With Janemba's powers now fused into his being, his eyes glowed with malevolent energy, and his muscles tensed, ready for another round.

But Vegito wasn't one to waste time. In an instant, he powered up to Super Saiyan 3, his golden aura flaring with intense power that made even Gohan and the others step back. The sheer force of his transformation shook the battlefield, sending a powerful shockwave across the ground.

Kid Buu roared, charging at Vegito with all the fury and chaotic energy he could muster. But Vegito was ready. With unmatched speed, he sidestepped Kid Buu's attack, landing a powerful knee to his gut that left Kid Buu gasping. Vegito followed up with a swift uppercut that sent Kid Buu spiraling into the sky.

Vegito flashed into the air above Kid Buu, extending his hand as he summoned a brilliant sphere of energy, its glow illuminating the battlefield below. "This is where it ends!" Vegito declared, hurling the energy blast down at Kid Buu.

Kid Buu attempted to counter, creating a portal to absorb the blast, but Vegito was already anticipating his move. With a rapid barrage of energy blasts, Vegito overwhelmed Kid Buu's portal, each blast exploding against him in a cascade of light and power.

Gohan watched in awe, feeling a renewed sense of hope. "He's incredible... I've never seen power like this."

Piccolo nodded. "This fusion it's the ultimate combination of Goku and Vegeta's strengths. With Vegito, we may actually stand a chance."

Kid Buu, battered but undeterred, regenerated his wounds, his laughter echoing through the battlefield as he unleashed a flurry of attacks. Using Janemba's powers, he created multiple portals, launching punches and kicks from all directions. But Vegito effortlessly countered each attack, dodging with ease and countering with lightning-fast strikes.

"Is that all you've got?" Vegito taunted, a smirk on his face. He phased out of sight, reappearing behind Kid Buu and delivering a powerful roundhouse kick that sent him crashing into the ground.

The ground shook as Kid Buu rose again, now visibly frustrated. His body pulsed with chaotic energy as he tried to push himself beyond his limits, combining his own destructive abilities with Janemba's dimensional powers. But no matter how many tricks he pulled, Vegito remained one step ahead, countering each move with precision and power.

Finally, Kid Buu let out an enraged scream, creating a massive portal above him, from which countless energy blasts began to rain down upon the battlefield. Vegito, however, merely smiled, his aura flaring as he raised both hands, forming a massive energy shield that deflected each blast harmlessly into the sky.

As the dust settled, Kid Buu staggered, clearly weakened and struggling to keep up. Vegito lowered his shield, his expression serious. "This is over, Kid Buu. You can't win."

With one final burst of energy, Vegito launched himself at Kid Buu, unleashing a rapid combination of punches and kicks that left no room for recovery. Each strike landed with the force of a small explosion, and by the time Vegito was finished, Kid Buu was barely standing, his body battered and his energy nearly depleted.

Vegito took a step back, raising his hand as he began to charge a final, devastating energy blast. "This is for everyone you've hurt," he said, his voice steady and resolute. "For Earth, for my family… this is the end."

With a fierce yell, Vegito unleashed the blast, a brilliant wave of energy but it stopped as Vegito turns back into Goku and Vegeta as their surprised thinking the Potara was permanent as Kid Buu screams and flys to them and punches both saiyans making them spit blood.

As Goku and Vegeta crashed into the ground, coughing and gasping for breath, they realized the Potara fusion had unexpectedly dissolved. The Potara earrings, once thought to create a permanent fusion, had worn off, leaving Goku and Vegeta separated and vulnerable. Bruised and bloodied, they looked up to see Kid Buu hovering over them, his face twisted in a wicked grin. His body crackled with dark energy, bolstered by Janemba's powers, as he raised his hand to strike again.

Gohan, who had been watching in shock, clenched his fists. "No… I'm not going to stand by and watch anymore!" he shouted, his voice filled with determination. In his Ultimate form, Gohan powered up, his aura flaring as he launched himself at Kid Buu.

Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks exchanged a quick glance, each nodding in silent agreement. "Gohan's right," Piccolo said. "We can't let Goku and Vegeta face this monster alone." With a battle cry, he and the two younger Saiyans joined Gohan, leaping into the fray with renewed resolve.

Kid Buu looked down at his new challengers, an unsettling smirk crossing his face as he readied himself for battle. Gohan led the charge, throwing a powerful punch that Kid Buu barely deflected. Trunks and Goten, both in Super Saiyan 2, circled around, striking Kid Buu from either side, while Piccolo used his experience and skill to anticipate Kid Buu's moves, looking for any opening to exploit. For a moment, it seemed they might be able to overwhelm him together.

Gohan and Kid Buu exchanged fierce blows, each strike shaking the ground beneath them. Gohan's punches were fast and precise, his movements fluid and controlled as he pressed Kid Buu back. "You're not getting away with this, Buu!" Gohan growled, his eyes blazing with anger and determination.

But Kid Buu's resilience was as frightening as ever. Recovering from Gohan's attack, he dodged a punch from Trunks and twisted around to catch Goten off-guard, delivering a powerful kick that sent the young Saiyan flying. Trunks and Goten regrouped, both now visibly exhausted, but their determination remained unshaken. They pushed forward, each of them drawing on the last of their strength.

Kid Buu's energy flared again, his chaotic powers granting him a near-limitless supply of stamina as he fended off Gohan and the others. His attacks grew more relentless, each strike seemingly more powerful than the last. He lashed out at Piccolo, who narrowly dodged a dark energy blast that left a crater in the ground. Kid Buu then turned his attention to Trunks, delivering a powerful punch to his gut that left the young Saiyan gasping for air.

Seeing his friends struggling, Gohan fought even harder, desperately trying to keep up with Kid Buu's unpredictable assault. But Kid Buu's powers, amplified by Janemba's abilities, made him nearly impossible to track. He phased in and out of dimensions, landing surprise attacks that left Gohan, Trunks, Goten, and Piccolo reeling.

Goku and Vegeta, both struggling to stand, watched the battle unfold, their expressions grim. Vegeta clenched his fists, gritting his teeth in frustration. "We can't let them handle this alone," he said, summoning every ounce of his remaining strength.

With a yell, Vegeta powered up to his Super Saiyan 2 form and launched himself back into the fight, joining Gohan, Trunks, Goten, and Piccolo. Goku, too, rose to his feet, determination etched on his face as he followed suit.

The united front briefly forced Kid Buu onto the defensive, with each fighter contributing their unique skills. Goku and Vegeta fought with their seasoned experience, their movements perfectly in sync as they worked together to create openings for the others. Gohan continued to fight with precision and power, each strike a testament to his years of training. Trunks and Goten, though exhausted, fought with a fierce energy, each of them determined to protect their loved ones.

But Kid Buu, even against such overwhelming odds, seemed to thrive in the chaos. His twisted grin never faded as he used Janemba's powers to teleport unpredictably, creating portals that allowed him to launch attacks from every angle. No matter how many blows they landed, Kid Buu would regenerate, his body reforming as if nothing had happened.

Finally, after a particularly brutal assault, Kid Buu managed to knock Gohan, Goten, and Trunks to the ground, leaving them sprawled and gasping for air. Piccolo, bloodied and barely able to stand, staggered back, his breathing ragged. Goku and Vegeta, both battered and exhausted, stood side by side, their eyes fixed on Kid Buu.

Kid Buu laughed, his voice echoing across the battlefield his energy surging as he prepared for another attack.

Realizing that their combined power wasn't enough, Goku looked at Vegeta, a grim determination in his eyes. "There's only one option left, Vegeta," he said, his voice serious. "The Spirit Bomb."

Vegeta's eyes widened as he understood Goku's plan. "Are you insane, Kakarot? It'll take time to gather that much energy, and we're barely keeping him at bay as it is!"

Goku nodded, his expression resolute. "I know, but it's our only chance. If we can keep him distracted long enough, I can gather enough energy to finish him."

Vegeta hesitated for a moment, but then nodded. "Fine. But you better make it quick, Kakarot," he said, stepping forward to face Kid Buu with renewed determination. "I'll buy you all the time you need."

Goku floated into the air, closing his eyes as he raised his hands, beginning to gather energy from every living being across the universe. His voice echoed across the battlefield as he called out, reaching out to every life form willing to lend their energy. "People of Earth… everyone out there… lend me your energy!"

Piccolo, realizing what Goku was doing, turned to Goten, Trunks, and Gohan. "We have to hold him off until Goku is ready. This is our only chance," he said, his voice steady despite the pain in his body.

The remaining fighters steeled themselves, each of them stepping forward to face Kid Buu one last time. Gohan, his energy nearly depleted, took a deep breath, his gaze unwavering. "We're not giving up," he said, his voice filled with determination. "Not until this monster is stopped."

Kid Buu let out a roar, charging at the group with unrestrained fury. Vegeta intercepted him, landing a powerful punch that forced Kid Buu back, if only for a moment. Gohan and Piccolo joined in, each of them attacking Kid Buu from different angles in a desperate attempt to keep him at bay.

Goten and Trunks, despite their exhaustion, fought alongside the others, each of them putting everything they had into the battle. Their attacks were relentless, but Kid Buu's chaotic power made him nearly unstoppable. Every time they managed to knock him back, he would regenerate, his twisted grin never fading.

Goku continued to gather energy, the Spirit Bomb growing larger as he drew power from every corner of the universe. But it was a slow process, and he could feel the strain on his body as he struggled to hold the massive energy sphere.

Kid Buu, realizing what Goku was doing, turned his attention to him, a dark glint in his eyes. But before he could make a move, Vegeta stepped in, blocking his path. "You're not going anywhere, monster," Vegeta growled, summoning every last bit of his strength as he launched a fierce attack.

The battle raged on, with each fighter pushing themselves beyond their limits to hold Kid Buu at bay. Gohan, Piccolo, Vegeta, Goten, and Trunks fought with everything they had, their bodies bruised and bloodied but their spirits unbroken. Kid Buu, despite his chaotic power, began to show signs of fatigue, his movements growing slightly slower as he struggled to keep up with the relentless onslaught but then knocks most of them down.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Goku opened his eyes, the Spirit Bomb now a massive sphere of energy above him, radiating with a power that dwarfed everything else on the battlefield. "It's ready!" Goku called out, his voice filled with both relief and determination.

But Kid Buu, his sinister grin growing wider, locked onto Goku with menacing speed, streaking through the air toward him.

Before Goku could react, Kid Buu closed the distance and delivered a brutal punch, sending Goku crashing into the ground. Goku's vision blurred as he struggled to rise, pain searing through his body. The Spirit Bomb, now hanging above him, glowed with raw power but seemed almost out of reach. Goku's heart sank as he realized he couldn't muster the strength to move it, let alone finish Kid Buu.

Lying helpless on the ground, Goku's hope began to fade. "Is this it…?" he thought, his eyes dimming. "Did we lose?"

Then, just as he began to drift into despair, he saw a figure staggering toward the Spirit Bomb. It was Goten. Battered and bruised, barely standing, Goten reached up and grasped the energy sphere with both hands, his body visibly trembling from the strain.

"G-Goten…?" Goku managed, his voice barely more than a whisper.

Goten's face was etched with determination, his eyes blazing with the will to protect everything he loved. With a defiant yell, Goten hoisted the Spirit Bomb into the air, struggling against its sheer weight as he prepared to launch it at Kid Buu.

Kid Buu, still recovering from his last attack, turned and snarled, watching the young Saiyan in disbelief. Goten gathered what little energy he had left, his power surging as he pushed the Spirit Bomb forward, aiming it directly at Kid Buu.

Kid Buu roared and raised both hands, catching the Spirit Bomb in midair, his energy clashing with Goten's in a fierce tug-of-war. The battlefield crackled with tension as Kid Buu and Goten fought for control of the massive energy sphere. But it was clear that Kid Buu's power was too overwhelming; the Spirit Bomb began to waver, pushing back toward Goten.

Goten's arms shook, his strength fading as his Super Saiyan 2 aura flickered, and for a moment, it seemed like the battle was lost.

"Goten!" Goku called, finding his voice. "You're the only one who can do this now! Don't give up… I know you can do it! Just believe in yourself!"

Hearing his father's words, Goten's eyes filled with a renewed sense of hope. "Believe…" he muttered, clenching his fists. A surge of energy ignited within him as his aura flared brighter than ever.

With a powerful scream, Goten pushed his energy to its limit. His golden aura blazed around him as he dug his heels into the ground, putting everything he had into keeping the Spirit Bomb moving forward.

But Kid Buu's relentless power still overpowered him. Goten gritted his teeth, sweat pouring down his face as he continued to struggle. He could feel his body reaching its limit, but he refused to give in.

Then, in a final surge of defiance, Goten let out a roar that shook the heavens. His energy exploded, golden hair extending and spiking upward as he achieved Super Saiyan 3. His aura blazed like a comet, and the sheer force of his transformation pushed the Spirit Bomb forward, inch by inch, as it neared Kid Buu.

Kid Buu's face twisted in fury and fear as he tried to hold it back, but Goten's resolve was unstoppable. With one last, mighty scream, Goten summoned every ounce of power within him, pushing the Spirit Bomb with a strength beyond anything he'd ever felt.

"DO IT, GOTEN!" Piccolo, Trunks, Gohan, and everyone else, though barely conscious, called out in unison, lending him their support.

With one final push, Goten forced the Spirit Bomb down upon Kid Buu. The massive energy sphere engulfed him in a blinding light, and for a moment, time seemed to freeze. Then, with a deafening explosion, the Spirit Bomb detonated, its power obliterating Kid Buu in a brilliant flash.

As the light faded and the dust settled, Goten collapsed to his knees, exhausted but victorious. The battlefield was silent, and the nightmare was finally over.
