Majin Buu
The whole time in the fight against Hecate, I've been holding back. It was not for the benefit of the woman I was fighting, far from it; I didn't know who this woman was at first, or what alignment she was on. For all I knew, she was some goddess that had past transgression with the old Buu.
But now I was starting to get pissed with the tricks Hecate was pulling, on top of the attempted mind control spell I screamed through to make her cease her attempt; I was also getting annoyed with her illusions too, something that was a bit hard to try myself after seeing it so many times.
Now, with her fist in my cheek, but with having budged nary an inch on my part, my eyes looked back at hers as she scowled back at me, before teleported away several yards away from me in the air; the two off us continued to hover in the air while I reached up and used my thumb to rub at my cheek.
A quick swipe of my thumb, feeling the minor tenderness but barely anything else, her strength was barely anything, but her magic attacks were better; she was definitely pushed over the edge by my earlier quip, making her teleport in front of me to throw a punch into my face, but she was better off casting her bullshit magic.
Hecate glared at me as I grinned a bit, "Greek lady knocked on wrong door, Buu's turn to knock back!" I taunted her, before quickly teleporting in front of her with a fist planted into her stomach by me before she could react in time; Hecate heaved in pain after my quick attack, before she bent over my shoulder while wheezing out air.
With a snap of the same fist I used, I stretched it back and grabbed her by the face and held her out in front of me while she clawed at the offending grip I had on her face; I grinned at her as I moved my arm to hold her down below me, and aim her and my hand towards the Earth below, "Enjoy the meal, Greek Lady!" I yelled in mild anger and frustration towards her, as my hand glowed bright pink that held her by the face.
With a loud boom, she was blasted downwards, her entire head was in smoke as her body crashed down to the Earth Below.
Appearing above right where Hecate crashed, I raised my fists up together, enlarged them to a proportional degree, and slammed them down with a loud boom. I frowned quickly, as Hecate had teleported out of the way just in the nick of time, before my fists impacted the mountain face we were fighting near and on.
I scowled at myself, but hastily blipped out of the way from an incoming attack from above
Majin Buu vs Hecate
Buu reappeared above Hecate with a spinning kick aimed at her head, to which Hecate narrowly avoided by teleporting out of the way in time; Buu disappeared again at the tip of the mountain where Hecate exited out to from her teleportation, and reappeared in front of her with his palm out.
Hecate in turn was already reacting in time by building up a magic attack and blasting it back at Buu's own, both combatant's attacks collided into each other, creating a smoke cloud made up of burnt mountain bits and vaporized mountain snow.
The two disappeared from the tip of the mountain, before reappearing at another part of the mountain, with Buu making a quick grab of the Goddess's face again and blasted her with another pink orb of energy into her midsection. Hecate screamed in pain, before her form shattered.
Before Buu could trace her energy again, he was blasted in the back by an incinerating magic attack that sent him reeling into the face of the mountain while at the same time scorching the entire face of the mountainside itself in the process.
In the air, Hecate had a bead of sweet on her forehead, the avatar form she was using was taxing itself to keep in existence after expending her magic power to try and take the Majin down to a far enough level for her to control.
While an avalanche fell down across the mountainside from the result of the two's fight, Buu instantly appeared behind Hecate and quickly wrapped his arms and legs around her own, making the Goddess struggle as he hugged her entire arms and legs from behind.
Buu stretched his head up to look over her shoulder and snarled at her, while she strained against the strength Buu held against her, "You're about to ride the Buu express!" He yelled, speaking in good English in his anger and battle high, while she raged against him.
Buu spun around in the air, while keeping Hecate in his grip, and dive bombed with her; a loud crash and boom echoed from Buu crashing into the Earth below along with Hecate.
A dirt cloud was kicked up by the crash, before Hecate's form exited out as she flew out from the cloud, having recovered in time, covered in scrapes and bruises.
"I'm not done!" Buu screamed in manic anger as he teleported below her, and spin kicked her out of the air, sending her flying out of the air, and crashed again into the side of another mountainside.
After another loud boom echoed in the mountainscape from Hecate's crash, the goddess stood up and seethed at the Majin.
Now with a torn dress that her avatar wore for modesty, her hair a mess and running on low magic energy, Hecate was now seeing she didn't come prepared enough to try and overpower the Great Destroyer. Chaotic he wasn't, but the bastard was still putting up a hard fight. She needed a better vessel to use more of her magic and a body that could withstand better punishment.
Hecate instantly fell over in pain, as Buu once again teleported in front of her and planted his fist into her stomach, before Buu himself slammed her down into the face of the mountain, allowing him to stand over her broken form.
Buu's former angered face was now slowly morphing into a calm state as he bent over to peer directly into Hecate's face, "Buu must ask, do Gods bleed?" He asked out of the blue.
Hecate looked back at Buu, and scowled, "What sort of inane question is that? Of course I made this body able to bleed!" she shrieked back, affronted that this blithering idiot of low caliber speaking ability would even deign the thought that she would forget to equip her puppet body with the need for blood.
Hecate tried to move her body, but the punishment the body endured was nearing its limit, something she'd have to fix for next time; She scowled up at him, "Well!? Finish me off!" she then grinned, "Cause it matters not, I'll just come back. Better equipped, and you will be mine to control! Licking at my feet like a dog!" she exclaimed, before shutting herself down and realizing her fumble of narcissism and wording. "...Wait, no-"
Buu gave her a flat look, "Greek lady stupid, Buu insists he not into pet play." he deadpans, making Hecate sputter her lips, her face was red while trying her best to form a coherent sentence.
Majin Buu
While it was fun poking at the goddess's phrasing, I was still feeling at full power and yet to feel exhaustion from this entire fight she started with me; and while it was a bit fun to actually use the techniques Kid Buu had on hand, coupled with his ki attacks, I still felt the need to expend some energy.
At first, I thought that finishing this fight with Hecate would be helped by turning her into an object or candy, but then I thought otherwise; she was only after me, and nothing else. I had the opportunity to test this new body and life of mine in actual combat, and while Hecate was not much of a combat type sort of opponent, she was at least durable enough to let me see the measure of the output my ki attacks and punches can do.
It took concerted effort to hold back and not break shit, but by now I was used to keeping my power at the low end. This fight allowed me to turn it all up to a degree, but not by much, making me feel an odd sense of wanting more.
It was like test driving a new car, you have a Lamborghini, but the roads were filled with cars and traffic laws. You'd need an open desert road or race track to fully use the sport's car's top speed. You also had the acceleration and all that, and the best engine to work with…but analogy aside, I had a powerful body but I needed a bit of an equal opponent to fight against.
…And I'm not about to go ask and fight Superman…I mean, I could, but how the hell would that conversation go?
'Hey, Superman, yeah. I'm Majin Buu, an alien that woke up on Earth, and I have been thinking of taking up heroism for this planet. Mind giving me a round or two of a fight?'
…Okay, maybe if I worked that question out better, and I was more acquainted with the wider community of superheroes, I could ask Earth's greatest superhero for a spar, but for now, I should work on channeling my chi or whatever like that Monk asked, before I return to this place.
Bringing myself back to reality, as I stood over Hecate's broken form, I shrugged at her and held an orb of ki energy in my hand, "Time for Buu to break you!" I talked back, giving the goddess a nasty smirk, while she glared heavily at me.
If this was just a mere avatar body of hers that she made on the fly to confront me, then I had no qualms with destroying her body completely; and while the prospect of absorbing a god to add to my power was on the table, I still wasn't sure how much of myself I could retain of myself. Kid Buu probably only lost his own personality after absorbing the Kai, probably due to the fact he was more mindless and chaotic, before he absorbed the Kai's to achieve a higher form of thought process to retain a better personality.
What's to say I wouldn't lose mine? I am after all fully coherent in mind.
Rearing my arm back so that I could slam my orb of ki energy into the goddess, while she stared defiantly back up at me, I threw my arm forward to slam the energy ball down at the goddess, only to feel a rush of air behind me, a set of footsteps landing, and a hand grabbing my arm back from throwing the orb at Hecate.
"Diana…" Hecate hissed in anger, her ire now directed behind me, while I ceased the ball of energy from existing to slowly turn my head to look at the 'hero' behind me.
Wonder Woman, I still remember seeing that one Television show from I think the sixties or seventies, I don't really remember, but it was before my time. The Wonder Woman behind me, looked a bit like the one I remember from the Justice League Unlimited, with some stark contrast of a few differences.
I grunted in annoyance, did she not know this Hecate was just some sort of puppet or avatar she used to exist on the mortal plane? "Lasso Woman, Why stop Buu!? Greek woman is mere puppet doll!" I proceeded to tear my arm off at the shoulder, so now all Wonder Woman held was just my arm, while I wiggled my shoulder a bit to pop out a new arm.
Wonder Woman's eyes widened considerably, while I flashed her a smirk, "Lasso Lady think she can hold Buu!" I cackled a bit in amusement at her baffled face, as she dropped my arm to the ground.
...Ok, now I have a nice prank in mind, Next time someone asks for a hand…
Wonder Woman however shook her head and lightly glared at me while my arm on the ground slowly snaked up my pants and sank into my abdomen, "Majin Buu, I must ask that you hand Hecate over to me, she has much to answer for past crimes!" she announced.
…huh, so she knows my name…
My screaming shout probably alerted the Justice league to my location, which probably had Batman on board at the time, who most likely brought up my profile of the entire month and week I've been on this world; I wouldn't put it past Batman to hack into the records of Star Labs.
The cackling of Hecate's voice brought both my and Wonder Woman's attention, as Hecate herself glared balefully at Wonder Woman, "It is not I, who should be answering for anything! Your gods abandoned me! Everyone abandoned me, after the humans imprisoned me, and now all must pay!" she shrieked as she strained herself to sit up and glare at the hero.
I honestly don't know her full story, but there's definitely deep rooted hatred of her circumstances…that doesn't make her in the right though, of any of her criminal actions she must have done that Wonder Woman knows of.
Hecate slowly picked herself up, while Wonder Woman behind me made a few shifting sounds, probably getting on the defensive; Hecate's hair was now a mess over her face, her attire was ripped and raggedy, her entire face was scuffed and damaged. "No…I will not surrender now, not now or ever!" She yelled hysterically, a maddened grin began to form on her face.
I watched with some surprise as Hecate stabbed her chest with her own hand, and pulled it out, showing a glowing purple orb in it. "None of you have seen the last of me!" She yelled, before her hands clenched around the item that kept her puppet body alive and moving, popping it before her entire form dissipated into a purple mist of magic energy that blew away to the wind.
Damn, that was kinda…cool, grotesque, and not a bad plan of strategy, considering that body was just supposed to be some sort of puppet body that allowed her to exist on Earth…it had to have hurt though, right?
"She's gone…" Wonder Woman spoke, her tone of voice a bit on the skeptical side, as I looked back at her, she was in the midst of watching the magic mist finally dissipate into the air with a harsh gaze, before looking down at me.
I frowned back at her, "Greek woman was in puppet body, that why Buu went for kill." I snapped at her with an annoyed look, "Not like Buu has prison to hold Goddess, "
…That came out wrong.
Undeterred by the one-sided joke I had going on in my mind, with the banter I previously had with Hecate, Wonder Woman shook her head, before speaking, "No, I suppose you would not have one that could contain Hecate." she then sighed and gave me a frown of disapproval, "But killing her puppet body wouldn't have solved the problem."
Well it would have, for a temporary amount of time, before she decided to come back…or next time I just turn her into something I can eat…but then, would it work on her? If not, then I'd go for broke and the heck with it and absorb her…
I shook my head, before I took my leave, "Temporary, it would." I insisted, while spotting my tree ride in the far distance. While I now had the ability to teleport, I still wanted to ride the tree again for fun back home to Jump City…
I stopped and looked back at Wonder Woman, who was now holding her hand up to her ear, "Yes, she's gone…yes, I know…okay…" I raised my eyebrow, she was most likely talking to whoever it was on the other side of the call.
The Amazonian Hero looked back over to me, while expressing a kind look, "You've done quite well, in getting accustomed to Earth. I came here to try and help you apprehend Hecate, but I guess you had no trouble at all." She explained herself.
I smiled back at her, "Lasso Woman wasn't needed, Buu barely sweated." I boasted, earning a bit of an amused smile from her.
Wonder Woman
Watching the little pink alien fly off with the use of a chopped up tree log, after having thrown it eastwards before flying off to hitch a ride on it, Diana was particularly amused that a being that could fly was using such a method to fly back home.
"Uhhh…since when did riding trees become a thing?" Flash's voice piped in through Diana's earpiece, bringing an amused smirk to her own face.
Diana turned and walked off to examine the damage done from the fight in the Himalayas, while at the same time bringing her hand up to her ear to converse with the WatchTower, "Well back at my home, we did throw weighted poles in a contest of strength, but nothing near what the little guy did."
"Regardless." Batman's voice chimed back in, "John said his ring doesn't have anything on Majin Buu's species. In fact, the ring itself denied access to the information pertaining to Majin Buu himself."
Diana frowned as she examined the two mountains that had craters in them with one of the mountains having a seething red scar that was still cooling from one of Hecate's magic attacks against Buu. "That means he has some history then, with the Guardians." she mused, her eyes trailed back to where Buu pulled his 'ride' out from the ground and took it back home to Jump City.
"Exactly, whether he remembers it or not." Batman answered back to her, making Diana form a curious look on her face.
"Excuse me?" She asked, slowly lifting herself into the air to fly off back to the WatchTower, while at the same time converse with Batman.
"Records on Majin Buu from Star Labs before he broke out after a week of being there…has selective amnesia." Batman conversed back, "He's shown to be a good citizen of Jump City for the past month, but for all we know, his past self could have been a galactic criminal that was once imprisoned."
"Hey! Maybe he does remember, but is just faking it! You know, making up for past sins and all that?" Flash piped back into the conversation, ever the optimist he was, even to his own rogue gallery of criminals.
While Diana finally broke out of the atmosphere and into space, she listened in on the conversation Batman had with the Flash while she flew towards the WatchTower, "Perhaps, but we only know the Majin Buu right now, there's too much we don't know. So it's best we just keep an eye on jump city and its local heroes."
"Wait, wouldn't it be local hero?" The flash asked back.
Batman made a hesitant pause, before speaking "...Besides Buu, a variety of teens have begun to converge on that city for one reason or another…"
"...Huh…" Flash made a musing hum. "So what, is there going to be some sort of superhero sidekick teen prom that's attracting the teens to that city or something?" He quipped, earning only silence from Batman, but making Diana smirk a bit in amusement.
