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!
