Tales of the Xenoverse

What if Goku Defeated Majin Buu?

Suggested by FGRTroy

Goku winced, as he felt thousands of ki signatures, thousands of lives just... vanish.

It was unlike anything he had ever felt before. It was so fast, all those lives gone, just like that. Then, as if to rub salt into the wound, he watched in horror as the image of Majin Buu preparing to demolish the empty city played in his head, not even being able to cover his eyes.

"Darn it..! He's made his point already! Goku growled. "Now he's just rubbing it in our faces!"

With a deep inhale, one deep enough to inflate the belly of Majin Buu like a balloon, the pink creature blew it all out, swaying his head back and forth as if he were a fire extinguisher, destroying the city in a matter of seconds.

"That's more like it!" Babidi's voice played back, an obnoxiously smug look on his face. "It's what I'll do to those three meddlers, too! So, one last reminder!"

Images flashed of Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks in his head.

"It's him, and him, and him!" Babidi cackled, before continuing his monologue. "There's really no point in protecting them... They are not your friends... They are spineless cowards! If they valued your lives at all, they would have already turned themselves over to me! Obviously they don't! Well, shame on them, I say!"

Goku grimaced at the sound of this.

"You now have an opportunity to teach these selfish brats a lesson! One chance to stand up for your self worth, and for Earthlings everywhere! It's simple really! Just tell me where they are!"

Babidi's lips curled into a smile.

"By the way... You have five days to measure the importance of your meager little lives. Take too long, and I'll have Buu annihilate you all!"

Piccolo growled with anger.

"Oh yes... There's one more important thing... You will need to contact me, so I'll tell you how you can. If you have some information for me, I can hear you! Start talking and I can hear you inside my head. I'm listening, so speak up now! If you tell me where those uncaring louts are hiding, I might even spare you!"

There was a slight pause, before suddenly, Goku felt another ki signature disappear.

"Now! Don't give me any more useless information! Give me what I want or else!"

Goku's blood boiled.

An innocent man had just died...

"I can't stand this..." he managed to say.

And yet despite that, Babidi's voice spoke back up, chipper as if nothing had happened.

"No rest for the wicked! I've got to keep you humans on your toes so perhaps a little more destruction will keep you all in line!"

Babidi turned back to Majin Buu, who had been keeping himself distracted the entire time.

"Majin Buu! Time to go!"

As the two took flight, Babidi closed his announcement.

"You never know! The next place we visit may be your hometown! Yes... You can consider this to be your last warning. Remember, you have only five days left until we tear this planet apart! C'mon! Give me a call!"

With that, the psychic message ended.

"Curse him!" Piccolo roared. "That demented wizard!"

While the others attempted to think of what to do, Goku stayed quiet. He couldn't shake the feelings of feeling those ki signatures. They didn't lessen until they were gone. There was no struggle. They just vanished, just like that. Like they were never there to begin with.
