EPISODE 26

Majuub flew as fast as he could. The incredible power was growing at an exponential rate. He finally arrived and was nearly blown away by the power. It wasn’t Rebuu. It was Caboge. Without the necklace to keep his power in check, his energy began to grow to enormous levels. Caboge had grown to at least five times his normal size and his pupils had disappeared. He had powered up to Super Saiyan, but his power was far beyond that of a Super Saiyan 4. Sparks surrounded his green aura as stones and debris levitated around him. He let out a bloodcurdling cry as the debris and stones launched out in every direction and his aura faded. He wasted little time as Rebuu stared in horror, realizing that he had made a terrible decision. In the blink of an eye, Caboge’s fist was through Rebuu’s gut. The impact created a large crater in the earth. Rebuu’s body enclosed around Caboge’s fist in an attempt to engulf him, but Caboge’s arm ripped right through him. Rebuu quickly reformed but was met with a flurry of punches that exploded on impact. Majuub didn’t know whether to help or enjoy spectating. Caboge grabbed Rebuu by the antenna and tossed him into the air. He raised his hands above his head and lobbed a massive green ball at Rebuu. It hit and absorbed Rebuu within it. Caboge lowered his arms and the ball condensed, squishing Rebuu’s body into the size of a pebble, enough to kill any mortal being. Caboge clapped his hands together and the ball exploded with enough force to level the city and surrounding radius from five miles in the air. Majuub shielded his eyes from the blinding light of the explosion. He couldn’t tell if Rebuu had bee killed or not. The smoke cleared. Blobs of goo rained from the sky. Rebuu still wasn’t dead.
“He’s resilient, I’ll give him that.” Caboge muttered. He turned his attention to Majuub, “Listen, we have to both attack him if we want to win,” Majuub nodded, “follow my lead.”
Rebuu had reformed himself, but was genuinely frightened. Not only was he in a weakened state, but he had never experienced power like Caboge’s before. He either had to run away, far enough so that Caboge would never find him, or be killed.
Caboge’s heightened senses caught sight of Rebuu immediately. With a burst of power, he shot towards Rebuu’s location. Rebuu shot a couple of blasts to hold him off, but they just glazed off of Caboge’s chest. Rebuu tried to run, but Caboge grabbed his leg. Rebuu quickly slipped his leg off and grew another. Angrily, Cagobe squeezed Rebuu’s detached foot in his hand and it disintegrated. The distraction bought Rebuu enough time to power up a Blood Breaker. He knew the blast wouldn’t kill Caboge but it would buy him enough time to try and escape. Rebuu was so distracted with Caboge that he didn’t see Majuub come up behind him. He was about to throw the blast, when Majuub grabbed him by the neck and pushed him into it. Majuub quickly teleported away as Rebuu was sliced up by his own blast. At the last moment he was able to absorb the blast with his fingertips, giving him a slight boost in power. Thinking he had the advantage he let down his guard momentarily, just long enough for Caboge to launch another Crunch Bang. Before Rebuu could react he was being engulfed in Caboge’s ball of energy. The pained look on his face gave the indication that he wouldn’t survive this time.
“Go,” Caboge shouted to Majuub, “I can’t hold it for long!”
Majuub rushed in, energy sword in hand. He thrust it into the ball and pumped pure energy into it.
“Now!” screamed Majuub.
The ball detonated. The force of the blast was felt around the world and could be seen from space. It leveled not only the neighboring cities, but carved a crater into the earth twenty meters deep. The heat from the blast was enough to instantly melt any substance known to man, and it was so bright that one would instantly go blind just from staring at it. Only the most powerful of warriors could come out alive. Rebuu wasn’t one of them. Caboge was completely unscathed. Majuu, who had been caught directly in the blast, barely survived. He created a shield around his body that was shattered from the force of the blast and he had been thrown about two hundred feet. The earth was a desolate wasteland for miles. Many lives were lost, but many more were spared with the destruction of Rebuu. The only thing left was the blue shimmer of Caboge’s necklace which had also survived the blast. Majuub struggled to his feet and grabbed hold of the necklace. If it weren’t for you, he though, we never would have won.

Rebuu has finally been defeated thanks to the combined strength of Caboge and Majuub! What will happen next? Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of Dragonball Unlimited!

EPISODE 25

Within a matter of minutes, Caboge had yanked the cocoons down. He had now expected, however, that Rebuu would become unstable. Rebuu’s insides began to quake and steam began to build. His pores opened up and Caboge could see the outside world. He knew he had to get out of there and he knew he could make it out through one of the pores with the right timing, but he also knew that would be no fun. He wanted to make Rebuu suffer. With the cocoons in one hand, Caboge began to beat on Rebuu’s gut with the other until his flesh began to tear. It tried to heal itself but Caboge wouldn’t let it. He sent a barrage of blasts into Rebuu’s gut, then gently placed the cocoons down. He needed both hands for this.

Rebuu lay in a heap as he took massive abuse from Majuub. The constant attacks had splattered him all over the street.
“This is no fun for me,” Majuub stated blankly, “tell you what, I’ll give you thirty seconds to get into fighting shape. If not, I’ll just have to vaporize you.”
Rebuu used all the strength he could muster to reform himself. He was enraged that he’d been made a mockery of and was intent on killing Majuub at all costs. His body was failing him, however, and he knew it.
“Three.”
Rebuu got back on his feet.
“Two.”
The splattered globs that comprised his body began to return to him.
“One.”
Though weak, Rebuu was finally whole again.
“Good. For a second I thought you weren’t going to make it.”
“I’ll kill you!” Rebuu bellowed. He began to power up when his gut split open and Caboge burst through with a surge of power. Caboge brought the cocoons with him. Rebuu stood in shock for a moment, comprehending what had just happened. Caboge and the others returned to normal size and he gently placed them out of the way of the impending battle.
“Nice to see you made it,” said Majuub.
“Of course,” Caboge replied.
“I- I’ll destroy… you…both of you!” Rebuu screamed as his pores bellowed with steam. A thick cloud formed around his entire body as his yells filled the air- a mixture of pain and anger. Majuub and Caboge watched as Rebuu morphed, reverting back to his original form.
Caboge spat at the ground, “This should be a piece of cake. I’ll take him myself.” Rebuu, however, was still much stronger than Caboge gave him credit for and he knew all of Caboge’s tricks; though Caboge was outside of Rebuu, his mind was still programmed to remember. Caboge rushed in, but Rebuu was on the move.
“He’s making a run for the cocoons,” Majuub yelled to Caboge, “I’ll take them to seftey. You hold him off!”
Caboge shot Rebuu out of the air and he fell to Earth. Rebuu had realized where the true strength lied. He purposely let Majuub take the others to safety so there would be no one to stop him from absorbing Caboge. Rebuu had also caught on to the reason why Caboge had escaped. He wasn’t about to let it happen again. He lay there in a heap as Caboge came towards him for the kill. At the last second, Rebuu lashed out with his tongue, grabbed the necklace, and yanked it from Caboge’s neck. He slammed it on the ground expecting it to shatter. When it did not, Rebuu tossed it, with all the strength he could muster, into the distance.

Majuub stopped in mid-flight. He sensed a great change in power. How Rebuu suddenly gotten stronger? Majuub quickly hid the cocoons and dashed back. How could he be so stupid to leave Caboge alone like that? He should have seen through Rebuu’s trap!

Just when it looked like Rebuu was down for the count, he fought back with whits! Has Rebuu truly become more powerful? Stay tuned for the next episode of Dragonball Unlimited!

EPISODE 24

“There is one thing, elder,” Kabito Kai said, staring into the crystal ball “Caboge’s necklace, isn’t it-“
“Ah, the necklace of the Saiya-Jin,” Elder Kai interrupted, “If Caboge was wearing it when he was absorbed, it may have acted as a shield to protect him from being digested. Those necklaces have immense power you know. Of course, the majority of them are in our possession now, or have been destroyed completely. Caboge may have the one only one still in Saiyan possession. If we can use it to our advantage…”
“Hold on a second, old man,” interrupted Vegeta, “just what the hell are you talking about?”
“Oh, pardon me, I suppose you’re too young to have heard. Well, long ago the Saiyans were the most powerful beings in the universe and rivals of the second most powerful- the Kais. The two races formed a bitter rivalry, each vying for ultimate power. The Saiyans used to be like gods and they used their incredible power to conquer galaxies. The Kai, who used their power for good, made it their business to put an end to the Saiyan’s tyranny. They created such necklaces to suppress the Saiyan’s power. Eventually, the Saiyans got used to their new powered-down forms and, in essence, devolved. The aptly named Legendary Super Saiyan Broly was the last of his kind. His blood still contained the untapped power of the Saiyans of old. As a result, he was given the necklace as a gift when he was a child. The only problem is that he too had re-evolved, as you and your friends have done, when he discovered the Super Saiyan form. What is left of the Saiyans has slowly re-evolved to unlock their untapped power that lay dormant for eons with the Super Saiyan forms. It is said that once level six is reached, the Saiyan will achieve the godlike state of legend. It’s lucky that Broly never had the notion to remove his necklace or we would have all be in serious trouble! It appears he passed it down to his son, however. That necklace contains the concentrated power of Broly himself. What we don’t know is if this power was carried on by Caboge or not. As far as we know, he’s worn that necklace for his entire life.”
“Wow. OK. Way to tell us this life-altering information now!” Vegeta grumbled
“No way,” Said Goku, “I had no idea the Saiyans were that powerful.”
“We can only hope that Caboge realizes this before it is too late.” Elder Kai replied.

While the fight raged on outside, deep inside Rebuu something stirred. Caboge regained consciousness and took a look around. All he saw were bulbous pink sacks pulsating and a sticky, fleshy interior everywhere he looked. Next to him were cocoons containing all of his friends. Why hadn’t he been absorbed as well? Caboge noticed a pulsating blue light reflecting off the fleshy wall and it took him a moment to realize the light was emanating from his necklace. The necklace had saved him? Caboge never thought of the thing as having anything but sentimental value, let alone any kind of power. Nevertheless, he vowed to rescue his friends and seek revenge on Rebuu for insulting his father.

Meanwhile, the battle between Rebuu and Majuub raged on. Rebuu had once again created Trunk’s sword from his flesh and Majuub had created a sword out of pure energy- a testament to his great power. As the two swords clashed, lightning cracked in the sky and a heavy rain began to fall. The two swords clanked together as the two warriors adeptly fought. Rebuu’s sword singed Majuub’s hair just as he ducked and countered by attempting to stab Rebuu in the gut. Rebuu quickly disappeared and reappeared behind Majuub and slashed at his head. Majuub raised his sword to block and the two swords locked in a stalemate.
“I’m impressed,” Rebuu exclaimed, “I didn’t expect your human form to be so powerful.”
“Well, I did learn from the best,” Majuub replied a sword formed in his other hand. The three swords clashed with increasing power. Majuub thrust his swords into Rebuu’s shoulders as Rebuu thrust his own sword at Majuub’s chest. It shattered on Majuub’s energy barrier. Majuub let down the barrier and his swords dissipated. The two warriors slowly descended to the earth, starting each other down, as the rain dripped off their faces. In a burst of power, Rebuu shot towards Majuub raised his fist and was about to strike when he stopped inches from Majuub’s face. His pores opened and steam spewed out, he had a pained look upon his face.
“What’s the matter? Getting tired?” Majuub taunted as Rebuu doubled over in pain.
“Something- something is not…. right…” Rebuu whispered under his breath as he caught Majuub’s fist. Majuub sensed a drop in his power and went in for the kill. After a few punches to the face, he kicked Rebuu into the nearest building and followed up with a few energy blasts and a Kamehameha. The dust cleared and Rebuu lay in a heap, struggling to reform himself.
“What- what’s going on? My bod- body…” he coughed. He barely had time to recover before Majuub hit him with another blast.

Is Rebuu finally done for? Find out on the next episode of Dragonball Unlimited.

EPISODE 23

Rebuu did a good job of masking his power, but not quite good enough. Majuub could see him coming from a mile away. He hid behind a dumpster, waiting for Rebuu to pass. Majuub himself was masking his power and he hoped he was doing a better job than Rebuu. Rebuu approached. He stopped in the alleyway, looked around, and then went on his way. He hadn’t taken two steps before Majuub was in his face about to unleash an energy blast. Rebuu though quick, ducked, and took out Majuub’s knees with a sweeping kick. Majuub caught himself and responded with a kick to Rebuu’s head, distorting his human face. Rebuu dropped the disguise. The two ascended into the sky exchanging a flurry of punches and kicks. Some citizens stared into the sky in total awe, others fled in fear. The energy released when their fists met, sent a loud boom through the sky as sparks found their way to the earth. Rebuu delivered a strong blow to Majuub’s gut that had him doubled over. Rebuu was about to follow up with a kick that would have sent Majuub spiraling towards earth, but Majuub caught Rebuu’s leg, gripped it firmly, and threw Rebuu into the nearest solid object, a clock tower. Rebuu hit hard and his body wrapped around the pole. He screamed and demolished the two buildings beside him. Majuub took this opportunity to power up further. His muscles bulked up and a deep purple aura surrounded his body. Then, out of nowhere Rebuu burst forth and was in Majuub’s face, almost catching him off guard. Majuub quickly formed an energy barrier around his entire body to keep Rebuu away then, with a burst of power, detonated it, destroying anything in the radius and taking off Rebuu’s left arm. Before he could recover, Majuub rushed at him with flurry of punches and a kick to the gut that sent him falling to the ground. Rebuu stopped himself before he it and fired several energy bolts from his finger tips. Majuub easily avoided these but was so preoccupied with them that he didn’t notice the Burning Attack flying towards him. He quickly deflected it back at Rebuu who formed Trunk’s sword in his hand and sliced the blast down the middle. Majuub then attempted a trick that he had picked up from his training with Goku, the afterimage technique. He quickly teleported around Rebuu at the speed of light while powering up a Kamehameha, but Rebuu knew the technique and caught Majuu before he was about to fire the blast. It misfired and blew up a couple of vehicles below as Rebuu grabbed Majuub by the face. He flew quickly down to earth and dragged Majuub’s head through the street. Majuub, issuing great strength, lifted one arm and took off Rebuu’s head with a blast, then grabbed him by the legs and tore him in half. The two halves quickly fused back together and the fight continued.

“This is going nowhere,” Vegeta exclaimed, “it’s almost as if Rebuu has gotten stronger!”
“He has,” replied Elder Kai, “Rebuu’s power level increases the longer he fights. The more he watches others fight the more he learns. If we don’t do something fast, he may become to powerful for any of us to defeat.”

Majuub has emerged! But even after a fierce fight, Rebuu cannot be defeated! What will the Z Fighters have to do to put Rebuu down for good? Find out on the next exciting episode of Dragonball Unlimited!

EPISODE 22

Buu let down his guard and was about to relax when he was put into a chokehold. “Nice try, but not good enough,” whispered Rebuu into Buu’s ear. His flesh was still smoking from prolonged exposure to the energy blast.
Buu growled angrily, “Buu thought you were dead.”
“Not quite. You’ll have to do better than that to put me dow-”
Buu didn’t let Rebuu finish his sentence. He punched him in the face instead to shut him up. Then the fight commenced. The two beat on each other with lightning fast punches, making small craters in each other’s flesh. They volleyed energy blasts back and forth, taking off small portions of each other’s body. But both of them recovered. Each knew the other’s strengths and weaknesses and they fought for hours with no end in sight.

Goku reappeared next to Elder Kai, Kabito, and Vegeta. Elder Kai stared disapprovingly at his crystal ball. “No, no. This is no good. At this rate they’ll fight forever with no victor.”
“Maybe we can teleport them somewhere else, somewhere far away. They’d be so occupied fighting each other for eternity they wouldn’t bother us anymore.” Vegeta suggested.
“No, that would never work. We need something to push Buu over the edge. But what?”
“How about Uub?” Goku piped in.
Elder Kai nearly had a heart attack, “My stars! Goku, I didn’t see you come in!” He considered what Goku had said. “Yes, Uub… I’d forgotten about him…”
“He’s been lying there since the two unfused at the picnic. Rebuu must have not considered him a threat.”
“Perhaps if they two recombined…”
“They’d have enough power to take down Rebuu!”

Buu was just getting through kicking Rebuu in the face when he heard a voice in his head.
Buu, it said, can you hear me?
Buu can hear you.
It’s me, Goku. Listen, you remember Uub?
Buu remembers.
I need you to refuse with him. It may be the only way to defeat Rebuu.
Hearing this, Buu made a mad dash to find Uub, but Rebuu caught on.
“What is he up to?” Rebuu muttered to himself. He quickly followed suit. Then he saw Uub and a tingle wend down his spine. “Oh, no you don’t!” he boomed. He dashed for Uub, but Buu got there first. He snatched up Uub and made a run for it. Buu quickly took to the skies and tried to loose Rebuu. Rebuu, however, would not let up. He sent blast after blast which Buu adeptly avoided. This isn’t working, Rebuu though to himself. The two darted through trees until they finally burst through the park and into another city, still populated. Buu took this opportunity to try and loose Rebuu in the cityscape, but Rebuu kept his eye on Buu and plowed his way right through buildings and people, destroying anything in his way. Upon realizing that he wasn’t going to loose Rebuu, Buu detached a small portion of himself which he sent spiraling towards the street below. It formed into a decoy of himself. The real Buu quickly spend forth and lost Rebuu. Rebuu, seeing the decoy and thinking it was the real thing, sent a barrage of blasts at it. The Buu-shaped blob disintegrated. “A trap,” Rebuu mumbled. “Well then, I’ll just have to bring the mouse out of hiding.” Rebuu proceeded to blast people and buildings to bits in an angry rage, occasionally transforming them into his favorite candy, or absorbing the buff looking ones to gain more power. “Come out, come out, wherever you are!” he shouted as people ran screaming in a frenzy. Buu, still, did not come out. Well, it looks like I’ll have to do this the hard way, Rebuu though. He quickly masked his energy and disguised himself as a citizen while he wandered through the streets.

Buu has disappeared and Rebuu is running amuck. Did Buu succeed in his plan? Why is he taking so long to come out of hiding? How many innocents must be killed before he reveals himself? Stay tuned for the next episode of Dragonball Unlimited!

EPISODE 21

Elder Kai was reading his comic book, Vegeta was angrily leaning against a tree, and Kabito Kai was anxiously staring into the crystal ball. Suddenly, Baba came flying in with Buu.
“Finally,” Vegeta scoffed, “now we can get to work!”
“Excellent!” said Elder Kai, “Vegeta you sit down facing to Buu. Now, close your eyes and Concentrate. Feel the energy flowing out of your body and into Buu’s. Picture your life force flowing into Buu. Point your hands at him, palms open. Now, concentrate!”
Vegeta remained completely still, he focused all his energy on the tips of his fingers and pictured it flowing into Buu. Then, he collapsed. Buu’s halo slowly faded away. Vegeta opened his eyes just in time to see Buu’s halo forming on his own head. “That was it?” he exclaimed “I waited hours on end just to do that? What the hell is wrong with you, old man! You are a blithering idiot! Why couldn’t we do that from the start!? Bah, what a waste of my time.”
Elder Kai wasn’t paying attention to Vegeta, however, he was busy giving Buu instructions on how to get to Earth. Buu nodded his head and flew off. “Now, Vegeta,” Elder Kai said to him as he shifted his attention away from Buu, “What were you saying?”
“Forget it.” Vegeta slumped against a tree, “Let’s just hope this plan works.”


Goku and Piccolo stood there staring at Rebuu’s death ball as they waited for time to run out and the earth to be destroyed. “Now,” Rebuu bellowed, “I have gathered sufficient power to not only destroy this planet but all the planets in this galaxy!” Rebuu ascended into the air and prepared to throw the blast as Goku and Piccolo stared in terror.
“This is it.” Goku said grimly. But the two of them were not able to see what happened next. Their time as up, and they vanished. Rebuu threw the blast and it slowly made its way to the earth, consuming everything in its path. It was about to make contact with the ground when it suddenly stopped. “What? What is this?” Rebuu pumped more power into the blast but it still didn’t budge. He screamed angrily and pushed harder. The blast suddenly changed direction and slowly made its way back to Rebuu. “No, impossible!” he shouted. The smoke cleared and a figure could be seen on the other end of the energy ball. It was Buu. Rebuu mustered all his strength into stopping the blast, but it came dangerously close to him. He had depleted most of his power from making the blast and needed to recharge his strength. Rebuu tried as hard as he could to stop the blast, but his arms were failing him. The heat from the blast started to singe his skin as it drew closer. Rebuu knew that if he didn’t get out of the way fast, he was going to die. Buu gave one last blast of strength and the ball of energy consumed Rebuu. The blast proceeded to float into the atmosphere and dissipate. Buu breathed a sigh of relief. It was over.

Is Rebuu really and truly defeated? Find out on the next exciting episode of Dragonball Unlimited!

EPISODE 20

Last time: Goku and Piccolo are trying to distract Rebuu long enough for Vegeta to learn the life transfer technique so he can transfer his life force into Buu. But Goku and Piccolo’s 48 hours are nearly up and Rebuu is preparing a blast with enough power to destroy the Earth.

“Crap,” Goku exclaimed, “There’s nothing we can do now but try and buy time. We can only hope that Vegeta comes through soon…”
“Let’s hit him with everything we’ve got, then!” Piccolo replied. The two proceeded to power up as high as they could, and launched their most powerful blasts at him.
“Let’s see you stop this!” Piccolo screamed as he launched hundreds of consecutive energy blasts at Rebuu. Goku followed up with a 10 times Kamehameha. The blasts splashed against Rebuu’s body while Goku launched the blast. It made contact with Rebuu and Goku pumped more power into it until it completely engulfed him. Rebuu was completely consumed, yet the power of the ball he was charging did not falter. Instead, the ball increased in size. The smoke cleared and Rebuu looked completely unharmed.
“He’s absorbing the energy and feeding it into this blast!” Goku exclaimed.
“Shit! What the hell do we do now!?”
“Nothing. All we can do now is wait. Anything we throw at him will only make him stronger. All we can do is wait and hope Vegeta comes through in time.”


“Almost done.” Said Elder Kai as he flipped through his comic book. Vegeta sat perfectly still in front of him.
“Finally! Goku and Piccolo don’t have much time and Rebuu is going to decimate the Earth and I’m stuck here sitting perfectly still while the babbling old idiot in front of me reads a comic book!” Vegeta growled.
“Don’t get your feathers in a bunch! Just hold out for a few more minutes.”
“I can hold out as long as you freaking want, old man, but I’m not the one who’s going to die!”
“All right, all right! Let me just finish my comic book.”
Vegeta sprang up in an angry rage. “Are you telling me that I could’ve gotten up at any time, but you just wanted to finish your comic book in peace!?”
“Shhh, I’m reading my comic book.”
“That’s it! I’m out of here! I’ll take down Rebuu myself if I have to, but I’m not going to sit around here while that pink freak destroys my family and the entire world!”
Vegeta was about to fly off when Elder Kai said, “If you do that, you are taking away any hope the world had left. Come, I will show you the technique. You are ready.”
“Fine.” Vegeta grunted.
“First, we need to find Buu, then I will show you. Let me see if I can get in touch with Baba.” Elder Kai paused for a moment then said, “Baba, can you hear me?”
“Yes I can hear you.” Baba replied, “I’ve been watching from my crystal ball. I know your plan and I’m on my way with Buu right now. I hop this works.”
“Now that’s what I call service!” quipped Elder Kai.
“It better work,” replied Vegeta, “or we’re all screwed.”

Vegeta is finally ready to transfer his life force! But time is running thin. Will Buu make it before Goku and Piccolo have to return to Other World? Find out next time on Dragonball Unlimited!

Delays, delays, delays

In case you haven't noticed (and you'd have to be brain dead not to) I haven't updated in quite some time. That's because I've hit a road block plot-wise. Not to worry, though. I promise I'll have it all figured out by summer time and I'll have lots of new episodes for you all. I know I say that thing quite a lot, but with the recent success of Installation 04, I really mean it this time. This summer, I'm going to get a lot done. Dragonball fans rejoice because this summer the flood gates will open and they will release a steady stream of awesomeness for three straight months. Wow, that was corny.
