Chapter 31

Behind them, Buu was standing still, with a contorted expression on his face; a mixture of pain and anger. Trunks and Goten raised their kis until Super Saiyajin level, preparing for whatever comes next. But to their utmost surprise, Buu turned his back on them, and began to pull down his pants!

Both SSJ teenagers gaped. "He.. he's mooning us?!!" Goten asked in disbelief. Trunks could hardly believe it too. But the worse shock was yet to come. As Buu squatted down, the boys could smell a whiff of something very foul-smelling.

The whiff quickly turned into an overwhelming stench, and both boys later swore they would've died from inhaling the noxious fume had they not been protected by their ki shields.

Buu continued dumping the contents of his stomach with his back to the two utterly astonished demi-Saiyajin teenagers. When he was done, he looked around, and spotted a very sickly-looking desert rat (no doubt overcome by the noxious fumes), zapped it with his hand, and instantly the poor creature was turned into a roll of toilet paper, which Buu then used to wipe his soiled rear. After he was done, he pulled up his pants, and briefly looked admiringly at what was previously the contents of his stomach before turning to Trunks and Goten. His attention was paid more to Goten.

"You!" Buu exclaimed angrily, pointing at Goten. "You gave me bad candy! I'll kill you!" He threw a ki blast at Goten.

Goten barely avoided the blast. As Buu was still seething in anger from his missed shot, the boys flew away as fast as they could. Surprisingly, Buu didn't go after them.

It was only when they were at what they deemed a safe distance that Trunks and Goten dared to stop and look around them. What had just happened? It was really, literally, out of this world. From where they were, they could see Buu's pile towering above all other structures on Earth. It was brown, like any other, but with a slight pinkish hue, as though to identify the creature from which it came. It's shape was also just like any other, only so much bigger. It was at least three times bigger than the highest mountain on the planet, Goten reckoned. And if its size was abominable, the smell was so much worse. Both boys were blazing in Super Saiyajin mode - it was the only way they could keep from smelling, or at least smelling as little as possible, the stench.

"I don't think the people down there could have survived this," Goten said in concern. "They have a chance," Trunks said. "The tunnels were built to withstand cyborg attacks. I think the walls are thick enough to block this smell, or at least most of it. Some parts of the tunnel were designed for long term habitation and has air purifying systems, so those lucky enough to be there should be quite all right. But I'm afraid those who can't make it to the shelters would die from the air pollution." Goten looked at him. "I've been looking at some of Mirai Bulma's papers," Trunks confessed, then changed the subject to the matter at hand. "Can you feel Buu's ki, Goten?" he asked. "It's weaker, and flunctuates," Goten observed. Trunks nodded. "I want to see what's happened," he said. He took a deep breath and powered down. Goten followed suit, and they flew to where the source of Buu's ki was, keeping their kis as low as possible in order to avoid detection by Buu.

The boys found Buu not far from where he was initially. His face, and the way he held his stomach told them he was in pain. His stomach, indeed, Buu himself seemed much smaller now. It was as though he had flushed out his powers together with his bodily waste. As the boys watched quietly out of Buu's sight, they could see that he wasn't finished yet. Buu had squatted down again, and this time what came out was smaller and more watery. And just when it was over, another one came, then another. Buu couldn't help his frustration. His stomach was hurting bad, he had to get the things in his stomach out, but they wouldn't go out smoothly in one go; instead they come out all lumpy and watery and messy. Worst of all, just when he thought he was done, those things in his tummy insisted on going out again, in all their lumpiness and wateriness and messiness. Not even Majin Buu could disobey his bowels' commands. And so he had to squat down again until his legs ached, making more and more of the smaller misshapen poop beside the first giant he produced until his tummy told him it was satisfied that Buu had emptied it of all the things that shouldn't be in it.

By now Trunks and Goten had seen enough. They flew away with all their strengh, not bothering to hide their kis, for Buu was obviously too preoccupied to notice. Not to mention the stench was getting too overwhelming.

When they were as far away as they could possibly get from Buu, the two Saiyajin teenagers discussed this strange turn of events. "He's having diaorrhea," Goten remarked. "Must be the candy I gave him." He paused. "Lucky I didn't give it to Videl." Trunks agreed, sweatdropping. "At least now we have time to fuse again. As soon we can fuse, we have to attack Buu. And we have to destroy him entirely this time, while he's weak. For now, let's go back to Capsule Corp. to get some gas masks, and maybe a change of clothes." He wrinkled his nose. "We stink too."
