Chapter 60: Running Back and Forth, Cell and Buu
"Why don't you two just fuse? I know Chronoa has Potara earrings!"
"Enough! You idiots need to stop!" Chronoa's forehead bulged with veins of anger as she extended her hands, releasing divine energy into the air.
"Time Stop!"
"Ah… I can't move!"
Goku's foot rested on Vegeta's elbow, Vegeta's fist was pressed against Lin Qi's cheek, and Lin Qi's knee was aimed at Goku's abdomen.
The three of them froze mid-air, their bodies immobilized as though time had been forcibly halted.
Of course, if he unleashed more power, Lin Qi figured he could still break free of Chronoa's temporal restraints. But honestly, there was no need for that!
This was all just playful sparring—there was no need to get serious.
"Hmph, what's the matter with you three?" Chronoa scolded, hands on her hips, yelling at the three suspended in mid-air.
"As members of the Time Patrol, your job is to unite against the forces of the Dark Demon Realm, not bicker among yourselves!"
"Get down here and prepare for the mission. Otherwise, I'll send you back and ban you from participating in any future missions!"
"...Could you unfreeze time first?!" Goku muttered helplessly, the cold sweat on his forehead frozen in place.
"Hmph!" Vegeta let out a prideful snort.
"As long as no one provokes me, I've always been well-behaved!" Lin Qi chimed in, giving everyone an easy out.
The three of them floated down from mid-air. Chronoa shot them a disdainful look, still annoyed. "If you keep fighting, I won't let you off the hook next time!"
"Before you leave, let me remind you of one thing!" Chronoa struck a dramatic pose, one hand slanted near her face, the other raised in salute.
"We are the Time Patrol!"
Trunks and Goku played along, mimicking her pose exactly.
"..." Lin Qi and Vegeta exchanged a glance and then turned away, each letting out a disdainful snort.
"How childish," Lin Qi muttered, shrugging his shoulders. He had no intention of copying such a silly gesture.
"Hurry up and send me to whatever historical moment you want. Don't make me regret coming here!" Vegeta coldly declared, shooting a subtle glance at Lin Qi.
"Then why did you even come? No one's forcing you to stay!" Lin Qi retorted with equal disdain.
"Alright, alright, both of you, knock it off!" Even Goku couldn't take it anymore. Why were these two always so hot-headed?
"Hmph!" Lin Qi snorted. Though they looked identical, he found this particular version of Vegeta exceptionally annoying.
"Hey, hey! Before starting the mission, you must strike this pose!" Chronoa, frustrated with Lin Qi and Vegeta's lack of cooperation, started scolding again.
"Trunks, I really don't like your dad!" Chronoa shouted in anger, "And you, Lin Qi, you're no better!"
"...I'm sorry, please don't be mad!" Trunks quickly apologized on their behalf, trying to calm her down.
Finally, Chronoa grudgingly opened the Time Gate in a fit of irritation.
As the black vortex appeared, Vegeta wasted no time and flew in.
Trunks followed after him. Seeing the two had left, Chronoa opened another Time Gate.
"Goku, Lin Qi, you two are coming with me!"
Lin Qi nonchalantly followed behind Goku. Although the Dark Demon Realm arc wasn't animated, there was a manga and even a game adaptation.
Considering the storyline wasn't too long ago, Lin Qi still remembered it vividly.
If Trunks's side followed the original plot, they should encounter a scenario where Cell gets parasitized by a Dark Dragon Ball.
Cell, huh...
Lin Qi wondered if there would be any deviations from the original storyline. But then again, given Vegeta's arrogance, cooperation was unlikely.
Earlier, those two underlings of Mechikabura—Dark Sorcerer Gravy and Putine—should be enough to give Vegeta a headache.
Oh well, those two were just minor characters in his eyes anyway. Hopefully, they wouldn't throw out any weird magic...
What Lin Qi really wanted to see was Cell parasitized by the Dark Dragon Ball... fascinating!
"That's..." Goku, who was blocking the exit of the black vortex, trembled as he noticed someone below.
"Hurry up and move! Don't block the doorway!" Lin Qi urged, knowing exactly who the parasite was.
Mr. Satan's buddy, Buu! More precisely, Kid Buu!
"Let me handle this!" Goku, visibly excited, trembled slightly as he declared, "Buu is mine!"
"Swish!"
Before he even finished speaking, Goku darted toward Kid Buu, fists swinging as if afraid Lin Qi would compete with him.
"Ha-ya!"
As Goku unleashed his full power, Kid Buu opened his mouth and spat out an energy ball toward him before Goku could land a punch.
After dodging the energy ball, Goku found Kid Buu had already appeared behind him, aiming a punch at his head.
Goku leaned backward, narrowly dodging the attack, and countered with his own punch aimed at Kid Buu, who had leapt upward.
The two quickly became locked in an intense exchange of blows, trading punches and kicks in a blur of countless rounds.
"Boom!"
Goku eventually grabbed Kid Buu by the ankle and hurled him to the ground, causing a massive impact that sent shockwaves rippling through the earth and raised a cloud of dust.
Hovering mid-air, Goku began charging energy at his waist. A massive surge of power gathered between his hands as he prepared to fire.
"Kame... Hame... Ha!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Before the dust could even settle, Goku unleashed his energy blast, sending another powerful explosion toward the crater where Kid Buu lay.
The crater grew larger, the ground caving in further as spiderweb cracks spread across the surface.
Lin Qi watched indifferently. This kind of battle could go on forever, and he wasn't sure how long it would take to end.
The intense energy shockwave dispersed the surrounding dust, clearing away the debris.
"Ahhhh!"
Kid Buu roared as he shot up from the crater into the air, his body erupting with immense power.
"Chronoa, how's Trunks doing on his end?" Lin Qi asked, arms crossed as he glanced at her.
"Let me see..."
"Oh no! Trunks is in danger!" Chronoa's eyes widened as she cried out.
Without further explanation, she rushed into the Time Gate.
Lin Qi followed her, arriving just in time to see Vegeta unconscious in Trunks's arms.
Trunks pulled out a Potara earring and placed it on Vegeta's ear, resulting in...
The fusion of Vegeta and Trunks—Vegeks!
