"The seal actually worked!"
The Supreme Kai let out a massive sigh of relief and slumped onto the ground as he watched Majin Buu revert into a harmless fleshy ball. Just moments ago, he had been paralyzed by terror, nearly on the verge of grabbing George and fleeing back to the Sacred World of the Kai.
Fortunately, George had mastered Babidi's sealing magic ahead of time. At the critical moment, he had stepped in and neutralized the threat.
"Goku, are you alright?" Krillin asked, flying hurriedly to the side of the heavily injured Saiyan.
Goku stood up with a slight stagger and waved a hand. "I'm fine. I'm already dead, remember? I can't die a second time. It's just that the energy drain was too much, and my physical vessel took some damage."
"It's a pity Kibito was killed by Dabura," the Supreme Kai said sadly. "His healing abilities could have restored you instantly. As long as a person has a single breath left, he can bring them back."
"Don't worry, Lord Kai," Goku replied with a characteristic grin. "We can use the Dragon Balls to bring him back later, along with that family Babidi murdered."
The Supreme Kai looked puzzled. "Dragon Balls? What are those?"
Piccolo stepped in, quickly explaining the origin and power of the orbs. The Kai was visibly stunned. "You Namekians... you can actually create something like that?" Even as a Supreme Kai, he didn't have the power to grant arbitrary wishes. To hear that the Namekians had such a tool was a shock to his system.
The Dragon Balls are far more complex than that, George thought. He knew the true Creator was the Dragon God Zalama, who fashioned the Super Dragon Balls—massive orbs the size of planets. Namekians had simply stumbled upon fragments of that ancient divine knowledge. The root of that power was a primordial deity far higher in status than a Supreme Kai.
"Let me handle the healing," George said, stepping toward Goku. "I learned a few things from Dende as well." He applied the Namekian healing technique, and within moments, Goku's wounds vanished and his vitality returned.
The group couldn't help but marvel at George. While his raw combat power wasn't the highest among them, his utility was unmatched. He could read memories, teleport, break petrification, unlock any door, seal ancient monsters, and now, heal. Aside from frontline brawling, he was practically omnipotent. Without him, this day would have ended in total catastrophe.
With Goku restored, the group sat down to strategize. Though Buu was sealed, Gohan and Vegeta were still trapped inside that fleshy ball. They had to find a way to get them out.
"Since the Dragon Balls can grant wishes, can we ask the Dragon to separate Gohan and Vegeta from Buu?" the Supreme Kai suggested. He was terrified of the idea of unsealing the monster again.
Piccolo shook his head. "The Dragon is limited by the power of its creator. Buu is an ancient, cosmic entity of immense power. Shenron likely lacks the authority to forcibly strip away the power Buu has absorbed."
"I've actually researched a technique that can separate a soul from a body," George interjected. He demonstrated by tapping Krillin's shoulder, briefly knocking his spirit out of his shell before pulling it back in. "If you guys can suppress Buu and hold him steady, I should be able to pull Vegeta and Gohan out of him."
Goku's eyes lit up, but the Supreme Kai immediately objected. "Absolutely not! We cannot let that thing out of the seal again!"
"Lord Kai, please remain calm," George said firmly. "Sealing is a temporary fix, not a cure. Who's to say another wizard like Babidi won't show up in a thousand years? Furthermore, Buu's seal isn't invincible. With the added power of Vegeta and Gohan inside him, there's no guarantee the seal will hold indefinitely. Wouldn't it be better to solve this once and for all while we have the chance?"
The Supreme Kai fell silent. George's logic was sound, but the shadow of Majin Buu still loomed large in his mind.
"But... we can't beat him as he is now," the Kai whispered.
"If either Vegeta or Gohan were free, we could use the Fusion Technique," Goku said, scratching his head. He explained the Metamoran Fusion dance he learned in the Afterlife—a technique that merges two people of similar size and power into a single entity dozens or hundreds of times stronger.
"You could teach it to Goten and Trunks," George suggested. "Their power levels and heights are a perfect match."
Goku's eyes widened. "That's right! They can already go Super Saiyan. If they fuse, they might actually stand a chance." Then his face fell. "But it took me a week to learn it. I only have a few hours left on Earth. I don't have time to teach them."
"That's not a problem," Piccolo said. "Teach it to George first. With his learning ability, he'll have it down in minutes. He can then act as the instructor for the boys."
Nice assist, Piccolo, George thought. He had been laying the groundwork specifically to acquire the Fusion Technique legitimately.
"Just to be safe," George added, "we should head to Namek. Use their Dragon Balls to wish Goku back to life permanently. That gives us a much better insurance policy."
"And if things still go south, I can always use Babidi's magic to re-seal him," George concluded.
With the worst-case scenario covered by George's seal, the Supreme Kai finally agreed.
The plan went into motion. Krillin went to gather the Earth Dragon Balls to revive the victims of the stadium and Babidi's rampage. Piccolo took a spaceship to New Namek to revive Goku. Goku and George headed to the Lookout to train Goten and Trunks.
During this time, George didn't just learn Fusion; he also convinced Goku to teach him the Kaioken.
A few hours later, Goku's time on Earth expired, and he returned to the Check-In Station. George left a clone to supervise the boys' training while his main body focused on mastering his new skills.
The Kaioken is exactly what I expected, George noted. Using his reinforced physical vessel, he managed to push it to a 100-fold increase on his first try. His combat power surged from over 10 billion to over a trillion in an instant. At this level, he could likely take on Buu single-handedly, and as his sequence level increased, that multiplier would only go higher.
Three days later, the group reconvened at the site of the seal.
"Let's do this!"
The newly resurrected Goku went straight to Super Saiyan 3, charging a massive blast. In the Sacred World of the Kai, he had not only pulled out the Z Sword but released the Old Kai. While Goku's potential was already largely tapped out, the sword and the training had sharpened him further. Meanwhile, Goten and Trunks performed the dance, becoming Gotenks.
"If anything goes wrong, seal him immediately!" the Supreme Kai hissed nervously to George. George nodded, smiling.
Boom!
Goku's blast slammed into the seal, and within a minute, the fleshy ball expanded back into the tall, powerful form of Majin Buu (who had absorbed Vegeta and Gohan).
"Fusion!" Goten and Trunks transformed into Gotenks.
"Go all out!" Goku shouted. He and Gotenks lunged at Buu with everything they had.
But Buu didn't counter-attack immediately. His eyes scanned the surroundings, locking onto George. He knew he had to eliminate the one person capable of sealing him first.
"Continuous Energy Bullets!" Buu roared, unleashing Vegeta's signature "Prince's Technique" to create a smokescreen of explosions.
"That won't stop us!" Goku and Gotenks swatted the blasts aside. But when the smoke cleared, Buu was gone.
"Behind you!" Goku realized the trick too late.
Using his immense speed, Buu had appeared behind George, his body liquefying into a pink slime to swallow him whole.
"You really brought yourself right to me," George smirked. His aura exploded, a crimson light engulfing the area. "100-fold Kaioken!"
The shockwave blasted the slime back into a solid form. George spun around, slamming a palm into Buu's chest.
"Number one!"
With a sickening thump, Gohan was ejected from Buu's body. Buu's power plummeted.
"Number two!"
Another strike, and Vegeta flew out of the pink mass. Buu's power dropped again.
"Number three!"
George didn't stop. He knew this version of Buu was still influenced by the Grand Supreme Kai he had absorbed eons ago. To finish this, he had to separate the kindness from the malice. He struck again, and the round, jolly Fat Buu was knocked out of the body.
The remaining pink mass shriveled and shrank, transforming into a small, child-like figure with cold, soulless eyes—the original, chaotic, and purely evil Kid Buu.
"The rest is up to you guys!" George shouted, kicking Kid Buu toward the waiting Goku and Gotenks.
Kid Buu let out a high-pitched screech. His power was around 400 billion—roughly equal to SSJ3 Goku. But against the combined might of a fresh Goku and Gotenks, the outcome was no longer in doubt.
