I am Kera, a Saiyan Warrior Princess

Chapter 76

Kera:

"Stand still, I'll deal with the demon now. Alone." Vegeta took a step forward, but Kera held him back. The demon looked at them hatefully, apparently still trying to assess the situation. His eyes darted to the cocoons and back again.

"No more going it alone!" she growled at him. Confused, he stared first at her, then at his hand holding her.

Kera groped behind her and grabbed Kakarrot's hand. She placed her hands on her brothers', guiding them forward.

"Concentrate your energy into your hands!" she shouted, allowing her own energy to flow into her hands.

Without thinking, Vegeta and Kakarrot did as she asked. Kera felt her own energy and that of her brothers connect. Her hands lit up. She yelled, "Now!"

They released the focused beam of energy. It hit Buu in the stomach and sent him flying backwards several steps before he crashed into the wall of the hall.

"Wow, that wasn't so bad," Kakarrot said appreciatively.

Vegeta snorted disdainfully.

"No time to complain," Kera threw at Vegeta before he could say anything. "Grab the others. We have to find a way out!"

They ran towards the pile of cocoons. They each grabbed two. Following an instinct, Kera ran towards a bright spot she had just noticed. She looked up.

"I think that's a way out!"

"Possibly. It looks like the sky, at least," Vegeta confirmed her guess as he skidded to a stop beside her.

The opening closed again. They heard the demon behind them curse as he got back to his feet. He roared in frustration. The way out opened again.

"It's now or never."

Without hesitation, Kera leapt up. Hot air surrounded her. A suction took hold of her. She was thrown outside. She tried to hold on to the cocoons, but she lost her grip. She heard Vegeta and Kakarrot screaming behind her.

With a plop, she was suddenly free again. She heard the sound a few more times and saw that both Kakarrot and Vegeta were freed and the cocoons around the others were coming loose. Quick-witted, she snatched Menka and Reyak out of the air before they hit the ground. With relief, she noted that Vegeta caught Piccolo and Trunks and Kakarrot grabbed his two sons.

With Buu's screams in the background, they landed as quickly as possible and carefully put the children and Piccolo down. Kera, Vegeta and Kakarrot turned back to Buu.

He was still screaming, yelling like he was in pain. He held his hands to his head, doubled over.

"He ... he's changing," Kera whispered.

Buu's outward appearance was changing. He became smaller, more wiry. At the same time, he squirmed back and forth, as if trying to suppress the change.

After agonisingly long seconds, he was silent. And looked directly in her direction.

"He's smaller now. It should be easier to defeat him then," Vegeta said, already in a fighting stance.

Kera snorted. "Such a sentence from your mouth. Can't you feel the malevolent energy? Buu has changed. I'm afraid it wasn't a good idea to untie fat Buu."

"Hey, where is he anyway?" asked Kakarrot, looking around.

"Probably still in there." Kera gestured with her head to Buu. "But because he's no longer with the ..." She waved her arms around, trying to capture Boo's appearance. "... I don't know. They're no longer connected and so he's probably changing."
