Energy formed around the parasite's palms in a familiar manner, before being fired in the form of a pink Final Flash. Uub grit his teeth, bringing his arms to his left and responding with a Kamehameha, both beams clashing in midair and beginning an intense beam struggle.
Baby only cackled evilly. "All of your fighting strategies have Goku's stink on them. And considering what I did to him, what do you think you can do?"
Even with all the strength Uub could muster, Baby only smirked, doubling the size of his beam attack, and overpowering Uub, who only narrowly avoided the blast. Despite dodging the brunt of the attack, Uub was sent pummelting downwards.
Baby simply crossed his arms, disappointed in the human's performance, or lack thereof.
"So, that was his limit... I was foolish to have had higher expectations..." he grumbled.
Holding his arm in pain, Uub slowly landed on the solid ground, before collapsing. The pain was unbearable, with Uub only being able to make out Pan's cries of fear and frustration, only to be swatted away by Baby. Using whatever strength he could find, Uub slowly picked himself up, intent on facing the Tuffle Parasite once again.
"That looks like it really hurts, but don't worry, I'll put a stop to that..." Baby taunted, raising his arms and powering up a Revenge Death Ball.
Uub grit teeth as he forced himself to stand, all while Baby continued to chuckle.
"Ah... Goku would be so disappointed. I stand above you holding your death in my hands, and all you can do is look scared..." Baby continued to taunt.
Uub coughed hard. He hated to admit it, but Baby was right. He was scared; horrified, even. It felt like his body was on fire, but his stomach was tied in knots like he was sick.
"I thought you'd be a more gifted fighter; someone to try my new Saiyan skills out on. Again, I underestimated your kind's ability to hold your own." Baby spat. "Always relying on someone to save your pathetic little lives. Never fighting for yourselves!"
Uub fell to a knee, his body starting to give out already.
"I don't know what Goku ever saw in you..."
That was the divergence for this timeline. Baby's words resonated with Uub, more than young boy cared to admit. He had relied on Goku for far too long; he needed to fight for himself for once. And not just for himself, but for everyone else, just like Goku would.
With his final insult, Baby fired his Revenge Death Ball, aimed dead-on for Uub... only for all of a sudden, a large figure to suddenly get between the two of them; tanking the blast for Uub, covering the entire area with smoke. Believing his work to be done, Baby took his leave.
Uub, now completely drained of energy, groaned loudly.
"Someone saved me... but who was it?" he thought aloud.
"Uub..." a voice called out. "Uub!"
"Who are you?" Uub called out, only now realizing he was far from where he was before. "Did you bring me to this place?"
A pink figure appeared in front of him, one that almost resembled the one that saved him. Yes! It had to have been him!
"I am Buu!" the figure replied happily.
"Are you..?" Uub began, perking up slightly. "I don't know what it is, but I've got the feeling we've met before... I have memories of you..."
"Long ago Buu and Uub were one in the same! This Majin Buu brought all his energies together and a good Buu was created!" Buu explained. "It was you, Uub! Born of the good inside!"
