	~~Buu~~ lands and smirks, as Gohan thinks nothing seems to have changed. Trunks thinks ~~Buu~~ will just run away again. ~~Buu~~ looks over and yells that he wants to fight the youngsters again. Gohan refuses, saying he is ~~Buu~~'s opponent, but ~~Buu~~ insists that he wants to settle the score with them before fighting Gohan. Gohan wonders why, but ~~Buu~~ ignores him and accuses the boys of being too scared. Trunks and Goten each say that they~~'re~~ not, and Piccolo thinks something weird is going on. Trunks tells Piccolo that ~~Buu~~ is too stupid to have any sort of plan... The two then quickly perform Fusion. Gotenks starts off in his Super Saiyan 3 form, calling himself Super Gotenks, the death god of justice. ~~Buu~~ thinks to himself, "With ~~the youngster~~'s power... and that Piccolo guy's brains..." Gotenks flies over next to Gohan, and him to let him fight. ~~Buu~~ oozes a little ~~bit~~ of his ~~back off into two blobs~~, and the blobs slide across the ground unnoticed.		[[Boo]] lands and smirks, as [[Gohan]] thinks nothing seems to have changed. [[Trunks]] thinks Boo will just run away again. Boo looks over and yells that he wants to fight the youngsters again. Gohan refuses, saying he is Boo's opponent, but Boo insists that he wants to settle the score with them before fighting Gohan. Gohan wonders why, but Boo ignores him and accuses the boys of being too scared. Trunks and [[Goten]] each say that they are not, and [[Piccolo]] thinks something weird is going on. Trunks tells Piccolo that Boo is too stupid to have any sort of plan... The two then quickly perform [[Fusion]]. [[Gotenks]] starts off in his [[Super Saiyan 3]] form, calling himself Super Gotenks, the death god of justice. Boo thinks to himself, "With that runt's power... and that Piccolo guy's brains..." Gotenks flies over next to Gohan, and tells him to let him fight. Boo oozes two little blobs off of his legs, and the blobs slide across the ground unnoticed.

	As Gotenks prepares to fight, one blob envelops him, while the other blob takes Piccolo. With a flick of his finger, ~~Buu~~ brings the two blobs back to him. As he absorbs them into his body, he begins to transform. Goku wants Gohan to hurry and kill him now, but ~~Buu~~'s transformation is over before Gohan can react. ~~Buu~~ lets out a sigh and looks down at Gohan with a devilish grin. His forelock is now elongated, extending down to his knees, similar to that of a Super Saiyan 3's hair, and he is wearing Gotenks' vest. ~~Buu~~ thinks aloud that this is truly the birth of the strongest ''majin''. Gohan ~~can't~~ believe this, but ~~Buu~~ says it's all Gohan's fault for getting stronger. He felt Gohan's existence from far away, and thought that he might be stronger, so he started planning. His suspicions were confirmed when they fought, which was when he realized he'd be the strongest if he absorbed Super Gotenks. But, since his power had a time limit, ~~Buu~~ decided to wait until the next chance. Gohan says ~~Buu~~'s stupidity still ~~hasn't~~ changed, as it would~~'ve~~ been smarter to just absorb him. ~~Buu~~ realizes Gohan ~~doesn't~~ get it. "What would be the point of being the strongest if there's no one to fight? Didn't the previous Majin ~~Buu~~ say it? That I would kill you, for certain? That is my greatest motivation..." Gohan smiles, saying he gets it now.		As Gotenks prepares to fight, one blob envelops him, while the other blob takes Piccolo. With a flick of his finger, Boo brings the two blobs back to him.
