Pancake Cottage
Majin Buu
I continued to mind my own business, eating my breakfast. Johnny went and ordered him and his girlfriend Selinda their own breakfast, while the fight between Indra and Apollo continued outside; nothing was broken between them save for the door that Indra tossed Apollo out through, the two men just brawled it out with their fists to each other's faces and stomach.
I'm honestly surprised the two were holding back, considering that they were gods, but I guess they were holding back due to being within a civilian area; that, or there was some sort of god code that they shouldn't go all out against each other on the mortal plane, or maybe it was something-
A loud crash of metal soon corrected my line of thought, as I turned my head to glance out the window to see Apollo grabbing Indra by the back of the hand while he held the Hindu god down, and was in the middle of slamming Indra's face onto a car's hood, before he picked Indra up and threw him across the street into oncoming traffic.
While the sound of tires screeching and horns honking echoed from outside, I focused my attention back on my breakfast after seeing Apollo run into traffic to fight Indra more.
I assumed too much, and made an ass out of myself, as the saying goes, I guess.
"Man! I just paid for that car!" One of the customers cried out in shock and anger, earning a sideways glance from me.
"Dang dude....wait, is that Buu fellow able to repair vehicles back to normal? My buddy said he saw the pink alien use some sort of magic on some dude's car after it was wrecked." Another customer said.
Both men made a glance at me, to which I finished chewing my bite and swallowing my food, "Buu busy eating, but Buu not mind, since stupid Gods came after Buu." I shrugged, but expressed minor annoyance.
The car dude however seemingly didn't take offense to my expression, but gave me a thumbs up, "You're good, it's not like this one time I was in Metropolis, Solomon Grundy took my last car and threw it at Superman. Had to get a new one after that." he nodded to himself.
"Dude," His supposed friend next to him, spoke while pointing at the former, "Remember after that one time, we visited Gotham for that tech expo, and Bane used your next car to throw it at Batman?"
While the two guys sat back down and went into tangents of their visits to other cities and dealing with random villain encounters, I was mentally thinking that this guy is equivalent to that cabbage guy from Avatar ; he keeps getting his car smashed by some random happenstance of Heroes and Villains.
"Are you sure we shouldn't do something about those dudes?" Beast Boy's voice caught my attention to the outside again, making me cease from putting my fork of pancake into my mouth, and look over my shoulder.
Both Beast Boy and Cyborg were just outside the doors, their voices making it into the building easily with one of the doors having already been broken open; both teens were looking over to watch both Indra and Apollo drag their fight onto the sidewalk across the street, Indra was in the middle of stomping Apollo in the back into the cement, and bashing the other god's face into the sidewalk.
Cyborg spoke next while scratching at the back of his head in puzzlement, "I mean, we could, but they're fighting each other…does this constitute villain activity for us to get involved with?" He answered back.
Would it? If anything, this seems more like a civil dispute or something on the level of crime related, until they start causing more mayhem.
"Who are they anyways?" Beast boy asked, earning Cyborg to shake his head.
"Never seen them around this city, till now." Cyborg shrugged, while in the distance, Apollo was now using a street sign he pulled from out of the ground, and swung it like a bat into Indra's face, to which Indra blocked with his arms. The force of the swing itself sent Indra flying into the street light, making it bend over.
"Okay, now we need to stop them." Cyborg declared, while punching his fist into his palm, "They're causing enough damage to the city as it is!" He started saying while he walked off with Beast Boy trailing after him. Both had yet to notice me, with their backs turned. Their attention must have been on the two gods on their way to this Pancake cottage.
"Yeah!" Beast Boy agreed as he transformed into a Gorilla, and ran with Cyborg to intercept the two gods from fighting any longer between each other.
I focused my attention back to my pancakes, and dug in. Those two gods were supposed to be morally good, right? So at the very least, Cyborg and Beast Boy should be fine; and on the power scaling, I know both Cyborg and Beast boy can throw down well enough, but Cyborg was just starting out in using his cybernetic body to its best potential, and while Beast Boy has prior experience of hero fightinbg, I am not one hundred percent sure if any of his animal or dinosaurs can body either of the gods…but I can be proven wrong.
And besides, this would probably help them learn more teamwork between each other! Get that vibe and synergy working. You can't interrupt a good thing when it's in front of you, after all.
Johnny spoke up beside me with a mouthful, "Sheesh, we're getting more freaks in this city." He commented, from the corner of my eye, I saw Selinda give Johnny a dirty look, to which he eyed back at her. "What?" He questioned.
Selinda wrinkled her nose a bit, "Try and swallow your food before you speak, idiot." she rolled her eyes, before she took a sip of her orange juice, and spoke again after she put her drink back down, "And second, what do you mean freaks? Ever looked in the mirror?" she pointed out.
Johnny shrugged back, "What!? I'm just saying, Sel', this city's been getting more and more freaks, what other word am I supposed to use that describes abnormal humans and aliens?!" He talked back with an annoyed look.
"Weirdos?" I supplied it out of the blue, after swallowing another bite of pancakes.
Johnny quickly snapped his attention to me with a raised eyebrow, "Who asked you? Pink Bubblegum boy?" he grouched.
I shrugged back, "Buu just saying, Lobo wannabe." I shot back, earning a surprised look from Johnny.
A random customer chimed in from one of the booths, "I don't know, freak versus weirdo, one is more hostile than the other."
"What about Metahumans? Wait, no, that only applies to humans…" A nerd with glasses chimed in from another booth.
Johnny shook his head as the conversation of randos devolved into a tangent of freak vs weirdo, and looked back at me, "Funny thing about you calling me a Lobo wannabe, my Ma once said-" He conversed with me, before he was cut off as Cyborg crashed through one of the restaurant's windows, and hit an empty table, shattering the metal table under his weight.
While outside, the fight between Cyborg and Beast Boy versus the two gods had eventually dragged Starfire into the mix, Cyborg shook his head as he picked himself up and brushed himself off before he looked around with apologetic look, "sorry about-"
Cyborg's head stopped at me, and looked surprised at me, "Buu? Dude, why aren't you out there dealing with those guys?" He asked in surprise.
I gestured at my breakfast and outside while I spoke with Cyborg, "Buu was going to fight Sun god and Hundu god man, after Buu finished Breakfast, not like gods were being criminals." I shrugged.
"If fight devolve worse, then Buu would have stopped in middle of eating, and dealt with problem." I further explained.
Cyborg narrowed his eyes, "so…you didn't stop them when they started fighting?" he questioned, not quite giving me an accusatory look, more like trying to make sense of my reasoning.
I shrugged again, "Two god men took their fight outside, fight over who fight Buu first, Buu guesses, fight was going fine in parking lot till fight devolved worse."
Cyborg looked around, noticing the place of the fight, "...I almost forgot this is a Pancake cottage…" He mused.
Bess the waitress, with a bored expression, walked by Cyborg while carrying a tray of breakfast to a table, "Hon, none of us were surprised a fight broke out, just the first that we got a fight between two apparent gods." her voice trailed off as she walked to the end of the restaurant where a table of two random civilians were waiting for their breakfast.
The cliche looking nerd fellow spoke while he typed into his flip phone, "I can't wait till I tell the others on the Versus Online forums!" he exclaimed off handedly out of nowhere in the background while Cyborg excused himself for the mess to Bess, before he walked towards me. "I totally called it that the image of Indra was real from a snapshot in India!"
Figures there'd be an online forum involving versus discussions.
Once Cyborg reached me, he placed his hand on my shoulder and thumbed to the ongoing skirmish between Indra, Apollo versus Beast Boy, Starfire and Robin…aaand Robin just used his extendable metal stick against Indra, only for it to disintegrate in his hands. Robin swung his staff so hard against Indra's side, his staff broke. Damn, what did Batman feed that teen?
"I ain't gonna fault you for letting the fight between them simmer, but I guess now would be a good time to help, yeah?" Cyborg questions me with an earnest look.
I nodded, that fight was indeed getting out of hand. I paid my bill with a generous tip, before I hopped off my barstool and left with Cyborg, "Later Johnny Lobo man." I hollered back at Johnny.
Once we left the restaurant, Cyborg spoke with a curious tone, "You know, you weren't wrong about that guy, calling him a Lobo man. I saw newspaper clippings of Lobo when Superman fought him…what are the chances he's some offspring of him?" he mused while we ran at a jogging pace towards the ongoing fight between the two Gods and the other heroes.
"Buu not know." I shrugged, but from the sparse knowledge I know about Lobo, and his personality, he might be the sort to catch a fling from planet to planet. But Johnny is full human from what I remember, and I think Cartoon Network just made him as a reference to both Lobo and the music artist of the near same name. Just switch Rancid with Rotten…wait, what are the odds Johnny Rancid is a musician as well?
Jump City
Indra lifted up the form of Beast Boy's elephant form, and held it over his head, while in the background, Starfire was fighting with Robin against Apollo; the teen looking god Indra had fooled Beast Boy into thinking he might be able to handle the Hindu god teen, while Robin and Starfire dealt with the older one.
Indra spoke as he lifted the elephant over his head, "I have no qualms with you, green one, leave at once!" He yelled in annoyance, before the elephant transformed into a bird and flapped away, leaving Indra to stumble for a bit from the displacement of weight immediately leaving his palms.
Looking around surprise, the Hindu god was then suddenly grabbed around the neck by something pink, and was yoinked across a distance before his face was met with a pink fist; Indra quickly reached to pry the tendril off from his neck, and stare with anger at Buu as the chaotic destroyer from eons past, was giving him an annoyed look right back. "You." he spat.
While Cyborg in the background was helping Robin and Starfire fight Apollo along with Beast Boy, Buu held Indra up in the air with his antennae. "Buu was eating, now Buu need stop Hindu man from causing more messes. Buu annoyed!" He declared.
Indra grappled with prying the tendril off from his neck with all his strength, "You…" Indra was beginning to really realize his fellow god of his pantheon was right, that this Buu was indeed different from the one that killed him. "You don't remember fighting my pantheon, do you?" he asked.
With the tendril around his neck, Buu could have choked the life out of him; but here, the Majin was keeping it tight enough to hold him up, but not tight enough to choke his breath out while breaking his neck in the process.
Buu glared up at Indra, "Buu is done explaining Buu's self, if Hindu man want fight, fight later in day or at a better date. Buu just wanted to eat breakfast!" He snapped in anger at Indra.
Indra ceased struggling from Buu's grip around his neck, and looked over where Apollo was getting more violent with the teen heroes; Indra then looked back at Buu, "...I am not at my peak, I was in a haste to-"
"HraagH" Apollo in his anger, had managed to overpower the teens, and go after Buu, clocking the Majin over the head from behind, and sent Buu Flying into a brick building; the Majin's body broke through the building itself, all the while Buu forgot to unleash his grip on Indra's neck, thus dragged Indra with him into the building.
Dust flew around inside the building, the building itself was a building under construction; girders were still visible and stacks of cement, bricks and other sorts were around with tools and many more stuff for the construction of the building.
While Buu's antenna was still around Indra's neck, Buu picked himself up with an angered look and scowl, 'fucking sucker punch mother fucker! That actually hurt a tad bit!" Buu winced while he reached behind his head and rubbed at the minor feeling of pain he was feeling.
From the hole in the brick wall, Apollo stepped through with a smirk on his face, and fist up with eagerness to continue his fight with Buu, "That was just a fraction of what I have in store!"
Buu glared at Apollo, before he blurred in speed at the god. As Buu's fist flew at Apollo's face, what none of the gods or Buu expected was for Hecate to teleport in front of Apollo with a smirk, "I have re-bwweh!" Her face was soon caved in, before the momentum of Buu's punch sent her head colliding into Apollo's own face.
The whole instance happened so suddenly, caught everyone by the surprise, before both Apollo and Hecate's bodies flew out of the building, their bodies bounced off each other before they landed separately on the street.
While Buu walked out to stand in the whole his body made in the building that was under construction, Indra walked up behind him until he stood beside the Majin, with the tendril still around his neck, "Mind releasing me? I believe it would be best if I settle this feud I have with you later…these other gods have a worse vendetta than I…not sure how Hecate fits into this picture."
Buu spoke back while releasing his antenna from around Indra's neck, "Greek lady went after Buu while Buu went to Himmalayas, after Buu landed there after riding tree." The Majin answered simply, only confusing Indra a bit on the last part.
"You…you rode a tree through the sky to the Himalayas…when you're able to fly on your own?" Indra questioned, baffled at the thought and image of Buu riding a Tree through the air.
While the two Gods were still recovering from having their faces hit with such force, Buu spoke back to Indra while giving Indra a sideways glance, "Hindu man should give ride try, very much fun and entertaining." he smirked.
Indra palmed his chin in musing, he did possess the strength to throw an object across the globe, but that practice needed precision and the need to know what measure of strength was need to make the object fly far enough for the intended destination; there were other factors at play, such as the human's aircrafts. "An attempt on my part for some other time, but for now, I believe this fight needs to end. I would have asked to fight somewhere safe."
Buu looked to be thinking of something, before he teleported to grab Apollo by the throat, to which caught him by surprise, before the Majin vanished from sight. Indra, now surprised, looked around for where the Majin went, only for Hecate to cough and glare up at the sky where the moon was barely visible over the horizon. "To the moon? Of all the places, using my own technique too!" She scowled while rubbing her face in anguish, before she disappeared from sight in her own teleportation.
Indra furrowed his brows in confusion, before he looked over to the horizon where the Moon was still visible in the morning, while the rising sun rose from the other side of the Earth's horizon.
"Dude, what just happened!?" Cyborg demanded as he ran up to Indra, with Beast Boy in tow. "Who was that weird woman that was launched out with that Apollo God?" He questioned with a glare.
"Yeah!" Beast Boy asked, and stood beside Cyborg as they confronted a confused Indra, who was still struggling with the thought that he should aid Buu in a two versus one fight. Never a thought in the past would have existed in his mind. Beast Boy continued to talk with an accusatory look across his face, "And where'd they all go?!" he asked.
Indra coughed into his fist in embarrassment, before answering, "Ah, um, I apologize for my behavior earlier, my dispute between me and Apollo did get out of hand, and for that, I apologize." he answered first, surprising both teens.
"Oh." Cyborg answered, "Uh…I guess that's good." he nodded.
Indra then pointed off to the moon, "But from what I heard, Buu may have taken his fight against Hecate and Apollo to the moon, more than likely to keep the fight from damaging the city any further." he reasoned.
Beast Boy blinked at that, before questioning the Hindu God, "What about you?" he asked.
Indra started bending at his knees, in preparation for what he was about to do, "I am more than willing to stave off my fight with Buu himself. His past has many…incidents, his new self does not know of. Thus, I believe I shall aid him against Hecate and Apollo on the moon...something even I am surprised in saying."
Robin was the next to speak as he finally arrived after recovering from getting tossed into a building by Indra, all the while shooting the god a dirty and suspicious look, "You still have much to answer as well, for damaging this city." He warned him, while glaring at the Hindu god.
Indra nodded, "I can accept that." He responded, before he leapt off into the air, his trajectory took him towards the Moon itself.
While Starfire flew in to land beside Robin, Beast boy turned to look at Robin, and gave him a once over, "Dude, what building did he throw you into?" He sniffed the air a bit.
Robin grimaced, "A perfume store." he answered, while teen girls from inside the store waved and hollered for the boy-wonder with hearts in their eyes, while the owner fumed in anger and shook her fist at Robin.
