Vegito Versus Buu: A Battle Within - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Vegito Fights Back! Can He Contain Buu?

Vegito's battle cry turned into a howling roar as he began to focus his power. Massive levels of the saiyan's ki energy were being channeled, focused into containing the nearly unstoppable monster that had forced itself inside of the mighty warrior's body. The saiyan's overengorged muscles twitched and flexed as he bent over and clenched his gloved fists even tighter, his biceps and arm muscles bloating like balloons as he struggled to fight back Buu's control of them.

Small sparks crackled around and between the deep crevices of the fighter's muscles, growing brighter, growing violent as the energy flowing through the saiyan arced in golden bolts around him. His already golden hair glowed brighter as his power level soared and Vegito screamed in intense concentration. His veins pulsed and sweat poured and trickled across the hero's massive muscles as he continued to power up, his body still continuing to stay at the same grotesque size no matter how hard he tried. But then the fusion's powerful potara earrings shook, reverberating with his energy and letting out a soft, almost inaudible chime, before his muscles began to shrink.

"What?! That's impossible!" Buu growled from within his back, shaking his muscles violently, "There's no way you can fight against me within your own body! I have an advantage! I have control!"

Vegito huffed, pausing to address his opponent as a cocky, arrogant grin spread across his face, "You must really think I'm an amatuer!" He grunted, before pushing even harder against Buu, roaring with all of his might.

Energy soared within and through Vegito now, arcing around his titanic body and striking the ground below. His screams echoed across the vast barren battlefield as his muscles quaked and then shrank back down, slowly but steadily, as the Majin's despicable ooze was being compressed and contained. Finally with one final mighty roar, the saiyan arcing his back and stretching out his arms as he howled out to the sky, his body had finally returned to normal.

Lithe and athletic once more, the thin Vegito paused to catch his breath, sweat soaking his gi and trickling down his brow. The warrior could not rest long however before Buu began to try and drag him back into the fight, forcefully pushing against the saiyan's body as he attempted to bloat him back up once again. Vegito's should suddenly ballooned and surged with Buu's mass, the pink ooze stretching the fusion's skin so much that his pink coloration was slightly visible under the surface.

Vegito seemed unconcerned, merely glancing at the bulge before driving his fist straight into it, wincing slightly as the fusion was forced to attack his own body. Fortunately Buu too groaned in pain, the ooze receding from the saiyan's shoulder before traveling through his body, reemerging just above the fighter's knee. Vegito growled and immediately elbowed the mass of thick, contained goo, forcing it to recede once more as Buu groaned and flowed back up towards Vegito's arm where the saiyan slammed his hand against it immediately. Finally, Buu surged into the hero's chest, the bulge of slime straining against his pecs and abs before Vegito elbowed it, driving Buu into the saiyan's back before he flew backwards and slammed it against the hard, rocky ground.

Buu groaned in pain, his voice weary as Vegito sat up and the pink goo surged back up against the fusion's back, trembling as the Majin spoke from within, "Urrgh... I don't understand! You should be under MY control!"

"It's simple really..." Vegito chuckled, his voice as well returned to normal, "You see, I've used my energy to isolate you inside of my body..."

Buu growled, the lump in Vegito's back twitching even more violently now, "But that's not possible! Your body was mine! That energy should have powered me instead!"

Vegito laughed a bit, looking back at the bulging mass of Buu in his back muscles, "Yeah, I heard your warning all too well Buu. Good thing I had these Potara earrings," He said, tapping the earring on his right ear and making it chime with its power, "Let me channel my ki right through them instead of you sapping it all. Give up Buu, you may still be inside my body, but I'm in complete control of you as long as you stay in there, which is fine! If you don't mind it..."

As Vegito grinned in triumph, Buu quaked in anger, squirming inside of the saiyan's body. He was right, Buu could still move wherever he wanted inside of the fusion, but he could no longer spread himself outside of the tiny size he had been compressed to and could no longer take control of the hero's muscles. He was trapped, for now, but he wondered, how long could it last.

The smile on Vegito's face began to falter and then turn into a frown as he heard Buu laugh once more, something he didn't expect from a foe who had just had the tables turned on them in the middle of a fight, "Oh you foolish monkey! You really think you can contain me forever...?"

Vegito let out a small grunt of surprise as Buu moved back towards his chest, the bulging lump squirming with the villain's laughter, "Maybe I'll take you up on your offer, stay in here as long as I want! After all, you'll have to get tired of fighting against me eventually... Ahahahahah!"

A growl escaped the warrior's lips as he suddenly felt Buu pressing against his prison, forcing the saiyan to concentrate his ki once again to keep the monster compressed. Thankfully for Vegito his body still remained thin, and he even managed to force the bulge in his chest back down with pure might alone, but Buu continued to struggle against him. Sweat began to soak the saiyan's brow once more as Buu cackled with glee.

"Go on, you dumb saiyan! Show me what you've got!" He laughed from deep inside Vegito's body, "I can keep this up as long as I want to, but can you?"

"We'll see about that Buu, give me your best shot!" Vegito roared before he began to cry out in fury once again.

The arcs of energy reappeared again, striking from saiyan to earth as Vegito clenched his fists and roared, focusing all of his strength on keeping Buu contained. As he did so, the Potara earrings quiverred again, then bounced, then finally shook as his ki powered through them, until...

Crack!

Tiny bits of glass showered down on the hero's shoulders and neck as the potara earrings shattered.

"No..." Vegito thought as he began to feel his power surge unrestrained into his own body, "Oh no..."
