Chapter 146: Run!
Shin was like an open book and after reading said open book, Raditz had his suspicions.
"What is it? How did everything become pink all of a sudden?"
Lowering his head in a daze, Shin stayed mum for a few seconds before sighing.
"Kibito was projecting the image through him, so if everything went pink.."
"I am afraid that is what Kibito saw, he might have been absorbed by Buu."
A still silence was maintained amongst the trio for a while, before Old Kai collected himself back up.
"Get up, sitting around won't do you any good, you are a Supreme Kai, you have your duties."
Old Kai got up and turned away from the crystal ball.
"As for you Raditz, we are going to continue to train the sealing technique."
"While he will go down and clean up his own mess."
Shin looked at Old Kai with hurt, how was he supposed to handle this by himself.
Raditz too didn't think this was a good idea, if Supreme Kai dies out there, he will be forced to take on the Kai position by Old Kai.
And he wasn't interested in doing such a thankless thing, the life link with Beerus alone was a no go for him, too many gods wanted Beerus dead.
"Old Kai, this isn't good, if Shin sama goes over now, there is a high chance he will not make it."
"How about this, I can make a short trip over, make sure everything is safe, in and out."
Glaring at Raditz in disappointment Old Kai hit him on the chest with his aged fists.
"No! It's the current Supreme Kai's job, you are no longer a mere mortal Raditz, but a Kai in training."
"You must learn to behave yourself!"
Sighing in a tired manner, Old Kai said something cryptic.
"We aren't the only gods in existence, we don't have as much pull as you might think we do."
"Don't overstep your boundaries Raditz, you risk not only your life, but the entirety of creation."
Raditz folded his hands in a show of confusion, but his mind was working frantically.
'Is he talking about the omni king..? A chance that grand priest sees a Kai randomly overstepping his bounds?'
'Can't think of anything else that might nuke the entire creation, unless he is dumbing down the concept of 'universe 7' for me, and actually means Beerus will Hakai me.'
Both of those things were possible, Beerus does not like Kai's putting themselves in danger, he hates that, and omni king, that guy is plain dumb, no use speculating about him.
'Still, I believe neither Beerus nor Omni king cared about anything during this time frame, they are pretty lax in general.'
'Or Zamasu wouldn't be able to do what he did.'
Confirming that he should be in the clear, regardless of whether or not he interferes, Raditz shrugged.
He could compromise a bit, but Old Kai needs to see the ongoing problems as well.
"Fine, I won't go over outright, Shin sama can go on his own, but Shin sama has to show what's going on first and foremost."
"And if I sense any danger, I am going over regardless of what the rules might entail."
Old Kai looked at Raditz for a few seconds, something which Raditz didn't back down from either.
*Sigh*
Shaking his head, Old Kai waved his hand and turned away.
"Fine, have it your way."
"Kids these days.."
Both Raditz and Shin smiled a successful smile when Old Kai went his way.
No way, they both really wanted to go for one reason or the other, this was good news for both of them.
"Raditz, I will leave first, please try to get Kai Kai Matoru in control in the meantime."
"You can train with peace of mind, I will not let anyone else in your group die."
Nodding his head Raditz lightly said.
"Good fight."
*Kai Kai*
With a nod of his own Supreme Kai vanished.
But was it is a good thing for him to go there now? Only time can tell, because the z fighters themselves were in quite the pinch right now.
A little while ago before these events took place, when the crystal ball had turned pink on Raditz's side.
"Gohan!!"
"Son!"
Piccolo and Goku both exclaimed in shock, anger and fear was filling their minds.
"Dad-!"
Gohan couldn't continue to talk, he was supposed to keep Kibito safe and had done a fantastic job of alerting everyone when Buu attacked.
Sadly that was also the reason for his downfall, Buu didn't let go of Gohan either and engulfed both him and Kibito at once.
*Wiggle*
Two large blobs of pink goo were floating in the middle of the battlefield, Gohan and Kibito were being absorbed by Buu.
"Goku, I can't feel their energy signatures anymore, Buu is absorbing them too fast."
"His absorption rate has gone up."
Tien and Piccolo both reminded one after the other, they had teamed up once more, every remaining fighter stood together, lest Buu sneak attacks them one by one again.
"Kakarot, what's the idea? He has absorbed your son as well as that guy, the power boost he will receive is too high for us to control any longer."
Nappa Ooazru growled, he was crouching down behind everyone and acting as the protective umbrella for the group.
His giant body being a good natural barrier against Buu's absorption.
*Wiggle*
*Poof*
But just Tien and Piccolo predicted, before the z fighter's wary eyes the two Buu balls joined together and merged into one big Buu ball.
Which vanished into a puff of smoke and there stood a new Buu once more.
His look had changed again, reflecting the upgrades that had taken place within him.
"He's got Gohan's shirt on.. his head tentacle increased in length too."
"And those earrings are that coward's, Buu has absorbed them."
Vegeta narrowed his eyes and checked the changes within Buu, this guy, he was treating them all like food.
"..."
Buu didn't start attacking immediately, he once more stood still in a daze after his absorption, but this time around the z fighters knew they had to think fast.
"Goku, we have to leave, now."
Piccolo growled, this was their best shot at getting away.
Given Buu's massive power boosts they weren't going to be his match.
"And leave where? You think this monster is going to let us go?"
Vegeta snarled at Piccolo, this was quitter talk in his books, but it wasn't only Piccolo this time around, it was Nappa too.
"Vegeta, Piccolo is right, we can't fight this, let's fall back, do you sense his presence Vegeta?"
"Even without sensing his Ki, that presence alone is overwhelming!"
"Let's wait for the King, we will die pointlessly if we rush over now."
Oozaru Nappa was making quick decisions, it might seem like cowardly talk for a Saiyan commander but he was not having a good feeling about this.
He was a potential unlocked Oozaru, and he was protecting the group from harms way by his body.
He was the only one who clearly felt how much Buu's aura had changed.
"But.."
Goku struggled with this decision, he didn't think leaving Buu here was a good idea.
The second they leave this place Buu would go for the regular earthlings.
"There is no time to waste Goku! We have to move, now! He is regaining his senses!"
Piccolo grabbed Goku's shoulder, hard, Goku needed to clearly think this through, Gohan's death was clouding his mind.
*Turn*
But their time was up, Buu had slowly turned his head towards them, and within those narrow eyes one could see the desire to hunt.
"Dammit..! Grab onto me! Everyone!"
Goku finally had to make a hard decision, they had to survive this or there would be no future for Earth.
*Whoosh*
Buu's eyes narrowed, his food just vanished.
"That is instant transmission?"
Buu mumbled in his regular voice, but he had intelligence shining within his eyes.
Gohan's knowledge had been absorbed by him and so were his abilities, this increased his intellectual capabilities like never before.
"Goku.. it's not only you who can use instant transmission."
