	As Piccolo ~~lead Buu~~ to the Room of Spirit and Time, Kuririn wonders why they would be fighting in there. Dende explains that even if Trunks and Goten lose, Piccolo could destroy the door, trapping them there in a different dimension. If Trunks and Goten die, then they can be brought back by the Dragon Balls. ~~Kame-Sen'nin~~ compliments Piccolo's thinking, as Yamcha wonders why Piccolo's leading ~~Buu~~ around in circles. Kuririn says probably to buy time, as one minute out here is six hours in there. ~~Buu~~ is getting impatient with all this walking, but Piccolo says his opponent is at the very bottom of this place. ~~Buu~~ protests that they were just going up...		As [[Piccolo]] leads Boo to the [[Room of Spirit and Time]], [[Kuririn]] wonders why they would be fighting in there. [[Dende]] explains that even if [[Trunks]] and [[Goten]] lose, Piccolo could destroy the door, trapping them there in a different dimension. If Trunks and Goten die, then they can be brought back by the [[Dragon Balls]]. The [[Turtle Hermit]] compliments Piccolo's thinking, as [[Yamcha]] wonders why Piccolo is leading Boo around in circles. Kuririn says probably to buy time, as one minute out here is six hours in there. Boo is getting impatient with all this walking, but Piccolo says his opponent is at the very bottom of this place. Boo protests that they were just going up...

	Having been training for quite some time, Trunks and Goten are both very tired. As they catch their breath, they discuss how they've "risen over" Super Saiyan, but ~~it's~~ main weakness is time. They can only stay like that for five minutes, and then their Fusion runs out. Goten thinks they can easily beat him up in five minutes, but Trunks says that's no fun. Trunks has a better idea: First, they~~'ll~~ fight in their normal state, and then drag the fight out. They~~'ll~~ then become "Ultra Super Saiyan" once they get to the remaining five minutes, and easily beat up ~~Buu~~. That~~'ll~~ be cool, and they~~'ll~~ get revenge for Papa, Gohan, and Goten's mom. As the two celebrate their "brilliant" plan, Piccolo suddenly speaks to them telepathically, talking directly to their hearts.

As the two celebrate their "brilliant" plan, Piccolo suddenly speaks to them [[Telepathy\|telepathically]], talking directly to their hearts.

	Piccolo says the schedule for their fight with Majin ~~Buu~~ has changed, and ~~Buu~~ is on his way right now. Goten freaks out and says they~~'ve~~ just ended a Fusion. Piccolo says it's okay, because he's leading ~~Buu~~ around and buying time. There should be plenty of time for them to rest their bodies. It~~'ll~~ probably be another minute before they reach the door, which gives the boys six hours in there. Trunks thinks six hours is plenty, and Goten tells Piccolo he will be surprised to see how well they~~'ve~~ trained already. Piccolo asks ~~Buu~~ if he wants to eat some food, but ~~Buu~~ yells and threatens to kill him. The boys sleep, until Piccolo reaches the door.

They call out to ~~Buu~~, and ~~Buu~~ asks Piccolo if that's them. Piccolo hopes for a miracle. Trunks is disappointed Piccolo will be the only spectator. They tell ~~Buu~~ it ends here, putting their thumbs down. ~~Buu~~ is getting irritated, and as they start the Fusion ~~Pose~~, ~~Buu~~ flies over and punches Trunks. Trunks chastises him that they were obviously about to do something great, and tells ~~Buu~~ to stay put. "Fu..." Piccolo wonders why they~~'re~~ not starting out as Super Saiyan. "sion... Ha!!!" However, Piccolo is at least glad they~~'ve~~ perfected fusing.		Boo and Piccolo step inside, and Piccolo waits in the sleeping area as Boo steps out into the open space.

	Gotenks appears in a flash of light, and ~~Buu~~ remembers beating him up earlier. Gotenks insists that he's completely different from before, and Piccolo agrees that he does seem different. Gotenks flies over and kicks ~~Buu~~, pummels him, and then ~~Buu~~ asks if he can attack now. Gotenks says to wait, and thinks ~~Buu~~ must be pretending to be unaffected.

==Summary==
Gotenks insists he hasn’t gotten serious yet, but he’ll show Buu what he can really do now. Gotenks rushes at Buu and proceeds to unleash numerous ridiculously named generic attacks. Irritated, Buu backhands Gotenks and sends him flying, and Piccolo puts his hands over his eyes in disgust. Gotenks says Buu is very tough, but insists he had calculated that. Buu says he’s very weak, so this is no fun and he’ll just kill him now. Gotenks mutters that Buu just doesn’t understand what is going on at all... Now Buu will regret having made him angry! "Super Saiyan!!!!!" Piccolo is amazed he is now able to become a Super Saiyan after Fusion.

Gotenks says he’ll end this, but wonders which of his many techniques to use. Buu will die in one shot from this, but oh well. "Galactic Donut!!!!" Gotenks forms a small ring of ''ki'', and sends it to hover above Buu. He widens the ring, lowers it to surround Buu, and then finally collapses the ring tight around Buu. Piccolo is really excited to see this technique work, as Buu screams, struggling to get free. Buu suddenly stops screaming, jokingly says "Not", and easily busts free.
