Dragon Ball The Next

The fight between Gohan and Dubra showed Goku, Vegeta and Piccolo how much weaker Gohan had become.

"Amazing. He was able to hold on to his own against Dabura." Shin said.

He and Kibito were shocked by how strong Gohan was.

"Is that all you got?" Dabura asked Gohan.

Gohan throws a fury of punches at Dabura but he blocks all of them before breathing fire at Gohan.

Gohan was too slow to get out of the way as his clothes got burned.

He was able to get rid of them before the fire spread onto his body suit that was under his clothes.

When he was getting rid of the clothes Dabura was already behind him and tried to slice his head off with a sword.

"Where does that come from?" Goku asked.

"Magic Materializations. You use magic to create something out of nothing. I also taught it to your younger son when he was staying at the lookout." Piccolo said to Goku.

"It's just that most items we create are not durable enough to use in combat so we didn't use it for anything other than creating clothes," Piccolo said.

"It's because your magic is not on par with someone like Dabura," Shin explained.

"As strong as a warrior Dabura is he is also a powerful magician," Kibito added.

"Ha." Gohan punched Dabura's sword and he broke it.

"Not bad Kid," Dabura said.

"Masenko," Gohan yelled out as he launched a yellow beam at Dabura.

It missed and only gave Dabura a scratch on his chin.

He rubbed his chin to check whether or not it was bleeding and smiled when he realised that it was bleeding.

Dabura swung his cape and produced a powerful guest of wind that knocked back Gohan after that.

"What power." Gohan was shocked.

When Goku said Dabura might be as strong as Cell he thought that it was only a figure of speech.

"Magical Thunder," Dabura said as he created thunder at the tip of his finger which was launched at Gohan.

"Ahhh." Gohan was hit by the attack as he was knocked back into his base form.

Gohan's whole body was aching because of the shock from Dabura's attack.

No. I can't give up. Goten and Trunks are still missing. I have to save them. I can't disappoint Dad, Piccolo, and Vegeta.

"Haaaa." Gohan powered up as he transformed back into Super Saiyan form.

However this time it didn't stop there as lighting started to appear around him.

Gohan already has achieved Super Saiyan 2 in the past.

The only reason why he wasn't able to transform into it was because his will was weakened due to peace.

So even a little push was enough for him to get back Super Saiyan 2.

"Hmm." Dabura was a little surprised.

"It's not enough," Goku said.

"His current power is not enough to defeat Dabura even if he is in Super Saiyan 2," Vegeta said as he agreed with Goku.

"He has to tap into his potential if he ever wants to win this fight," Goku said.

The battle between Gohan and Dabura continued.

But this time Gohan started to fight back against Dabura and their strength seemed to be equal.

Gohan punched Dabura in the face and Dabura stabbed Gohan in the shoulder with a spear he created from magic.

Gohan used a Masenko on Dabura and Dabura Burns Gohan with his fire.

It was an even match.

As excited as Shin and Kibito are about Gohan being more than a match for the demon king, Goku and Vegeta are getting impatient.

Should I go in and defeat Dabura? Goku even thought in his mind before realizing something.

Gohan was getting stronger second by second.

Instead of becoming weaker as the fights go on Gohan becomes stronger as he rediscovers his true power.

Goku thought that if the fight went on Gohan would be able to defeat Dabura sooner or later.

That is until Dabura spitted on Gohan.

"Huh?" Gohan was confused and disgusted by the attack.

Then he realized that some of his body parts were turning into stone because of the spit.

"I win," Dabura said as he looked at Gohan.

He expected Gohan to be in despair but Gohan punched him in the face.

"Gohan's power is finally starting to show itself," Goku said.

He then hits Dabura in the stomach with a headbutt and makes him cough blood.

"Kamehame..." Goku said as he charged a Kamehameha with one hand.

He could only use one hand as half of his body had already become stone.

"Ha." He yelled out as he launched a Kamehameha at Dabura while his body was becoming stone.

"!" Vegeta noticed Goku transform into Super Saiyan as flew towards Gohan.

"That's it Gohan, Show him what you can do," Goku said as he appeared behind Gohan to assist his Kamehameha.

Gohan smiled as he remembered the same experience that he had in the past.

Gohan and Goku's Kamehameha turned Dabura into dust just before Gohan's whole body became stone.

After Dabura was defeated Gohan's body turned back to normal.

But at that time it was almost too late.

Because of Gohan's fight, Goku and others forget about the more important matter.

"We are too late," Shin said.

"So we failed after all." Kibito was angry.

"So that is Majin Buu." Goku also said.

"His ki seems strange," Vegeta commented.

Gohan was also shocked.

The ki that they were sensing is different from all the ki that have sensed in their lifetime.

"This is going to be troublesome," Piccolo said.

He knew that the danger that they had faced before had appeared.

------------------------------

"That's it. Show yourself. Majin Buu." Babidi said as he looked at the seal that Majin Buu was in.

Which is now broken.

"Buu." A pink smoke said as he emerged from the seal.

The pink smoke formed a fat being that looked like an oversized alien.

He didn't look threatening.

He didn't look strong.

He didn't look dangerous.

But everyone who can sense his presence knows he is all those things.
