I've Pulled It Out!! The Legendary Zetto Sword

Everything is pretty quiet at God's Palace. Videl sits alone, hugging her legs with her head down. She lifts her head and looks over with a sad expression. Bulma sits at a table on which she's just slammed down her fists. "Gohan-kun defeated Cell, and yet, he was killed by Buu." She begins crying as she puts her head in her arms. Videl's expression seems to turn a little angry, but she says nothing. Gyuu Maou, "So now, not only is Goku dead, but Gohan is too." Videl stretches her legs a little as if about to stand up. Gyuu Maou looks off at the ceiling. "I feel so bad for Chichi." He fans his unconscious daughter. Videl jumps off her perch, clenching her fists. "What are you talking about!? You're acting like you know they're all dead! No one's found any corpses! How do you know Gohan-kun is dead!? I think something funny's going on!" No one even looks up. Gyuu Maou blinks, Bulma sighs. Finally, Kuririn responds. "I know how you must feel." He stands up. "But since we can't feel his ki at all... It means that Gohan's no longer..." He looks away, scratching his cheek. He looks back to her and recoils when he sees she's right up in front of him now, tears streaming down her face. She clenches her fists and shuts her eyes. "I don't believe you." She turns and leaves, and Bulma gasps. Videl stops not far away and looks out from the palace, still clenching her fists. "I don't believe that. I don't believe that at all." She unclenches her fists and folds her hands together. She smiles sadly as she stares out. "Gohan-kun..."

At the summit of a strange looking mountain on Kaioushin Kai, Gohan wraps his hands around the Zetto Sword's handle. He smiles. "Alright!" Kibit and Kaioushin both watch with grins, though it might not be too far off to say that Kibit's is more from a self-confident feeling of "He can't possibly do this if I couldn't," rather than Kaioushin's optimism. Gohan narrows his eyes as he prepares to remove the sword, then suddenly, he turns to Kaioushin. "Uh, Kaioushin-sama... What happens if I pull out the Zetto Sword?" Kibit, "It's said that you will receive incredible power. Enough to defeat Majin Buu." Gohan, "Eh!? Is that true?" He turns back to the sword. "Can it cut that well? That must be what it means." Kibit grins. "Don't worry about it. You won't be able to pull it out." Kaioushin, "Kibit, be quiet and watch. Well, Gohan-san, please try." Gohan, "Right." He smiles. "Alright!" His smile fades and he becomes serious as he begins tugging with all his strength. Veins pop out on his head but the sword doesn't budge. He screams and grunts as he struggles, and he can be heard throughout the surrounding area. Still, Kaioushin smiles, though Kibit no longer does. Gohan continues pulling, but still, the sword doesn't move even a centimeter. He mutters "This damn thing...!" through his clenched teeth. Suddenly, he loses his grip and falls over backward, landing on his head. The entire mountain shakes, but the sword remains in its place.

Gohan's hands throb. He has a frustrated, painful look on his face. "Damn it!" Kaioushin leans over him. "Are you alright, Gohan-san?" Gohan jumps back to his feet. "It's no good. It didn't budge at all." Kibit grins. Gohan clenches his fists and prepares for another go. "Okay! Okay! Okay!" Kibit watches with a self-confident grin; Kaioushin is a bit more hopeful. Gohan turns Super Saiya-jin. Kibit, "Does he really think Super Saiya-jin will work? The same will probably happen again." Gohan ignores him and wraps his hands around the handle again. He resumes his grunting and screaming as once again, he applies all of his strength to the sword. And even as a Super Saiya-jin, it doesn't move. "It's impossible. If so many Kaioushin-sama haven't been able to pull out that sword, why could a human?" Gohan continues his struggle nonetheless. The ground begins to give under his feet. Water ripples out from the lake around the mountain. Gohan's screams echo around the mountain. Kibit's expression turns to surprise. The ground around the sword begins to crack and slowly, the Zetto Sword rises up. "You're coming out!!" With one more burst of power, he rips the sword from the mountain. A flash of golden light illuminates the summit of the mountain and the excess force applied to the sword sends Gohan and his prize into the sky. Kaioushin grins. "See? He did it!" Kibit is shocked. "Wh-what's this!?" Several meters above the mountain, Super Saiya-jin Son Gohan and the Zetto Sword sit in the sky.

After apparently some time has passed, they're all in the grass nearby. Gohan is no longer a Super Saiya-jin. Kibit, "I...I don't believe this." Kaioushin smiles and looks up to Gohan. "Gohan-san, what do you think of the legendary Zetto Sword?" Gohan isn't smiling, though. He attempts to lift the sword, the effort giving his face a very strained expression. He barely manages to get it off the ground. Finally, he lifts it all the way up, but the weight of it makes him top heavy and even he can't handle it. He takes a step back and begins to bend over backward. Kaioushin just kind of stares at him. Gohan, his head nearly on the ground behind his feet, smiles up at Kaioushin. "It's very heavy." He slowly begins to lift himself back up and manages to stand again. "But I don't feel too much power in it now." He tries to take a few swings. Kaioushin, "Really...?" Gohan, "Can I really use this to defeat Majin Buu?" Kibit, "What are you talking about!? The Zetto Sword is the most powerful sword on this planet! It can defeat Majin Buu, but not until you learn how to use a sword. I won't let you fight until you have perfect control over that sword." Gohan once again tries to lift it all the way back up. "That's easy for you to say. Try holding it." He walks over to Kibit, holding out the sword. "It's incredibly heavy." Gohan separates his hands and Kibit grips the handle between them. "Ready? Here." He takes his hands away and Kibit cries out in surprise as he immediately begins to fall over. He drops the sword and it embeds itself in the ground with a loud crash. Kaioushin gasps. Gohan smiles. "See? I told you." Kibit stands and reaches down, grabbing the sword. Gohan and Kaioushin watch as he struggles -- and fails -- to lift the Zetto Sword. He blows on his throbbing hands, then suddenly his eyes go wide and he narrows them, looking back at Gohan and Kaioushin. He straightens up and puts his hands behind his back. "Maybe a little." Gohan, "What does he mean, 'a little'?" Kaioushin sighs. Kibit spins around. "Anyway, you've got to learn to use the Zetto Sword!" Gohan, "Right..." Kibit stands pointing at Gohan, panting.

"After you perform fusion, you can only stay that way for thirty minutes. After thirty minutes, you'll revert back to normal. You won't be able to fuse again for a short while." Piccolo stands with his arms crossed, listening in on the lecture. "Only thirty minutes? That's hard." Goku smiles. "If these two fuse correctly, thirty minutes will be more than enough. Fusion is that strong." He turns to Goten and Trunks. "Okay, first, both of you become Super Saiya-jin." Both of them stare up at Goku, not moving at all. "Hm? What is it? Huh?"

--COMMERCIAL--

"Mister, what were you doing when Papa and Gohan-san were killed?" Goten and Trunks quietly await their answer. After a pause, Goku finally says, "I was unconscious." Trunks, "You were unconscious? You were knocked out!? At an important time like that!? You're weak, mister!" Goten, "Learning techniques from someone who runs and hides won't make us any stronger!" He shuts his eyes, shaking his head. Piccolo clenches his fist. "Listen up! Goku--!" Goku, "It's fine, Piccolo. I really am weak. I don't think I stand a chance against Majin Buu. But even though I'm weak, I can still teach you the fusion technique. If you really want to avenge Vegeta and Gohan, you'll have to learn it." Trunks crosses his arms and turns to Goten. "What are you going to do?" Goten, "Well..."

Suddenly, Babidi cuts in, giggling. "I'm back, people of Earth! This is Madoshi Babidi and Majin Buu!" He and Buu stand on another cliff overlooking a city. "We've found a much bigger city this time. We're going to erase this city now if Ma Junior, Trunks, and Goten don't come immediately." Buu smiles, nodding his head. Everything has come to a halt in the city as people listen in on Babidi's announcement. "That picture! That's our city! That's our city!" A crowd of people moves along a moving sidewalk under a glass ceiling. "Look, up there! It's Majin Buu!" Screaming citizens begin to flee.

Trunks, "He's talking about us!" Goten, "Trunks-kun, close your eyes! You can see him and Buu!" Piccolo, "It's best if you don't look." Trunks, now with his eyes closed, gasps. Babidi, "It looks like no one wants to talk to me, not even the people I want. I guess that means there will just have to be more victims. Let's see. Last time, he made them into candy. I guess he's just going to have to turn these people into chocolate and eat them." Buu licks his lips. "Alright! Majin Buu, turn the people of this city into chocolate and eat them!" Buu yells and holds out his hands, and the population of the city begins rising into the air, screaming all the way up. Buu begins repeating a random sound kind of like "oi." Babidi laughs. Majin Buu grins. "Become chocolate!" He fires a beam of varying colors from the thing on his head and the people begin turning into chocolate candy bars. Goten and Trunks are horrified, but they keep watching. Millions of chocolate bars hang in the sky over the city. Babidi chuckles. Trunks, "N-no way!" Goten, "He's turning them all into chocolate!" Both of them cry out in shock.

In a room marked "Training," several large men stand with their eyes shut, watching the action unfold. One of them opens his eyes and turns to the others. "Hey, isn't that Porsche City?" Another, "I think you're right. This is horrible!" From off screen, Mr. Satan's voice asks, "Why aren't you training?" He sits up. "When you're training, you don't have time for anything else. Stop thinking about irrelevant things like this and concentrate." He lays back again, and we see for the first time that he's suspended from the ceiling by four springs. Men in unison, "Yes sir." Satan bounces a bit, his eyes shut. The men return to their posts. "People have the ability to fly. They've simply forgotten how. Otherwise, there's no way Videl and the others could fly. Okay, do it!" Each of the men has taken a spot at one of the springs. They pull him down as far as possible, almost touching the floor. "Now let me go." They all let go, falling to the floor. Satan, on the other hand, goes flying toward the ceiling. "Wake up, body, and give me new power!" He slams into the ceiling, leaving an imprint, and then falls back toward the ground. He hits the floor and is pulled back into the ceiling once again. From outside the building, we can hear a loud crash and see it shaking. We go back inside and Satan is now hovering above the floor, tangled up in springs. His helper guys stare at him. "Uh..."

The door swings open and a Tenkaichi Budokai attendant runs in. "It's terrible, Mr. Satan!" After a second, Satan snaps out of his little daze. "I've told you never to come in here while I'm training!" The attendant stares at him, not quite sure what to think, and after a pause, bows. "I'm sorry, but this is really bad!" Satan, "Hm?" He runs outside and is immediately greeted by a screaming crowd. "Wh-what's this?" Man, "It's our hero, Mr. Satan!! You have to act now, Mr. Satan! Defeat Majin Buu!" Satan backs away. "That's easy for you to say..." A man throws his fist into the air. "I know you can do it, Mr. Satan!" Another man, "Please, Satan!" Woman, "You're our hero!" The enormous crowd begins to chant, "SA-TA-N! SA-TA-N! SA-TA-N!" Finally, Satan bellows as he always does when his crowd convinces him, and he holds his arm up in the air, confirming that he will, indeed, intervene. After a few seconds, he begins to speak to them. "You don't have to worry! I'm working on a new technique right now! As soon as I've finished perfecting this technique, I'll use it to defeat that dope, Majin Buu!" He laughs, but thinks to himself, "What am I going to do now?"

At Porsche City, Buu is working his way through the population, but it seems he can't eat chocolate bars as quickly as he can eat candy drops. He holds one in his hand and many others hover around him. His mouth is already covered in chocolate. He pats his stomach, and after a pause, he screams and crushes the bar in his hand. He holds his hand up and with one quick blast, destroys the city. Piccolo, "Damn them...!" Buu rubs his stomach. Babidi, "It looks like Majin Buu has eaten his fill with all this chocolate, so he's just going to blow up the next city. Where should we go next?" Buu begins to fly away. Babidi turns and follows after him, leaving a smoking crater behind.

"Babidi! Majin Buu!" Babidi stops. "Huh?" Trunks, "This voice is Trunks!" Goten, "And Goten!" Babidi, "At last they've decided to talk to me." Trunks clenches his fists. "We can't do it now, but soon, we'll kill you!" Goten, "We promise you!" Piccolo, "Hey! Stop talking to Babidi! He'll learn abou this place!" Babidi, "Hey, where are you!? Come here! Are you hiding!? Cheaters!" Goku smiles. "So you'll train and learn fusion?" The kids nod in unison.
