A/N Hi people! So, I started this fan fiction, not exactly knowing where it was going. HOWEVER, I think I have a few ideas on where it might lead, but I'm not telling. You might be able to guess a few things about the story, but be sure unexpected twists and turns in the future. Please R&R so I know how you like the story so far, even though this is only the fist T for future violence. Also, chapter 1 is kind of a prologue so that you all know what's going on. :)

Chapter 1

They thought they had won. Oh, how wrong they were.

Babidi made sure that there was a failsafe in case his master plan went astray. Although he was sure that there was no way that anything could possibly go wrong with his brilliant strategy, there was always the slight possibility that something wouldn't work out as planned.

Before Majin Buu was ever released from his seals, Babidi had created a duplicate of his consciousness. Using his awesome magic, he had found a way to have this consciousness, and some of his magic power, lay dormant inside of the ultimate creation: Majin Buu. This was to ensure that, if Babidi ended up dying, his dormant self would be able to remain alive, even if he didn't have a body. Later, he would use the small amount of magic he had stored away to make himself a new body. Oh, the wonders of the world of magic!

So, when Majin Buu ended up brutally murdering his master, Babidi didn't die and get sent straight to Hell like everyone thought. Instead, he was silently watching the fights proceeding his death, unknown to Buu and all of his adversaries. He watched, silently, as Buu absorbed the allies of Goku one after another, how Goku and Vegeta fused to become the warrior Vegeto, and how Vegeto was absorbed by Buu and split back into the two Saiyans after releasing the shield protecting them from merging with Buu and giving him even more power.

Truthfully, Babidi was afraid that those two running amok inside of Buu would end up disclosing his position, especially when they had made their way to Buu's mind. Thankfully, the Saiyans were too occupied with freeing their allies and didn't even notice that he was there, quietly observing.

When the fat, pink blobby version of Buu was removed from the brain by the two Z warriors, Babidi panicked for a moment. In a split second decision, he transferred his consciousness into fat Buu, hoping that the "nice" version would end up surviving. Babidi didn't really see much hope of survival for what was now Kid Buu, now that all of his power was being taken out of him. So, he believed he made the right choice, which, in fact, he did.

After Kid Buu was blown up by Goku's huge spirit bomb, Babidi continued to reside inside of fat Buu. He had no way of forming his body exactly the way it was just yet, so he had to bide his time, slowly gathering energy from the world around him while still remaining undetected. He considered using the last amount of his energy to make a below-par, incomplete body just to get out of Buu's head, but then he thought better of it. It was smarter to wait, to form a plan and to get rid of any and all kinks.

The hard part was figuring out who he could turn into one of his majin minions. The only one with any evil in their heart that was powerful enough to stand a chance against Goku was Vegeta, and Babidi knew how well that turned out last time. Dabura would have been nice to have again, but he was dead and gone. Oh well.

About a month after Kid Buu's defeat, Babidi had finally saved up enough energy to make himself a body that was exactly like his old one. He had also hatched a plan even more genius than his previous.

Buu was peacefully living in the house of Hercule Satan. Babidi made note that the monster stepped out of the house and wandered the city quite often. He was going to use the time that Buu was out of the house to his advantage and create his new body while no one else was around.

The time came to put his plan into action. The wizard waited for Buu to go for a walk to ensure that no one was around that would recognize him.

Buu had first went into a candy store, presumably to eat sweets. The shop owner seemed to recognize Buu and smiled uncomfortably when he saw him.

"Hello! Welcome again!" The shop owner said a bit timidly. "Is there anything I can get for you, Mr. Buu? I can presume that Mr. Satan will be paying for anything you eat later again?"

"Buu want candy!" the big baby shouted happily.

"Of coarse. We have a big delivery in the back that we ordered just for you. Would you like to take a look?"

"Lots of candy?" Buu asked excitedly. The worker nodded. "YAY! Buu eat ALL the candy!"

Buu followed the worker to a back room. When the door was opened, boxes and boxes of colorfully-packaged candy of all varieties were stacked from wall to wall. There must have been 4 month's worth of inventory in this room alone.

"Yippee! Nice man gives lots of candy to Buu! Mr. Satan said to say thank you to nice man who lets Buu have candy. Thank you nice man!"

The worker laughed an awkward, scared laugh. "I'll leave you in here then. I'll be sending Mr. Satan the bill for all of this. Enjoy yourself, uh, Sir."

With that, the worker closed the door to the back room, leaving Buu alone in the room full of candy. He immediately started to chow down on the sweets, inhaling one candy bar after another. He didn't even bother even taking the wrapper off of some of them.

Babidi thought that this would be a great time to escape from buu's head. Babidi mustered the majority of his stored energy to begin shaping himself a new body, transferring his consciousness out of Buu's mind and into the mind of his new form. He began to feel himself separate from Buu, and began to feel his ams and legs and his head become tangible and movable. Babidi also sensed Buu take his attention off of the candy that he was devouring and focus on the sight of his old master appearing before him. So, before pinky could kill him again, he muttered an incantation with his newly-forming mouth to put Buu to sleep.

"Paparapapa," he chanted as loud as he could, but that was barely over a whisper considering his vocal cords were still being shaped. It was enough, though, for it to take effect on Buu. A sleepy expression washed over the fat pink creature.

"Buu hate you! Buu gonna… kill…" the blob managed to say before falling over into a peaceful sleep. It took little more than a minute for Babidi's new body to be completely finished. It looked very similar to his old one. The only difference was that he had a few less wrinkles- might as well look better, he thought.

As soon it was done, Babidi uncharacteristically did a dance of joy while self-praising his great work. "Haha! I did it! That was easier than I expected it to be!"

The newly-reformed wizard decided that he should take a week's rest in order to finally regain his full power. Spending a month hiding like a coward inside of that fat, stupid monster only let him gather enough magic to build a new body. Babidi was in serious need of solid rest.

Weeks had gone by since he was able to move around on his own, or able to see with his own eyes and smell the aromas of his surroundings. As he was standing in the middle of a room full of candy, the smell of chocolate was overpowering. Kais, had he had enough of chocolate.

Babidi looked around the room for a way out other than the door that led to the main room of the shop. He didn't want to draw any attention to himself, even form the humans. He knew that if there was anything unusual that happened in the city, the very people he was currently trying to avoid would end up finding him out. As he searched, he spotted a door located on the opposite end of the dimly-lit storage room. Quickly, he ran to it and tugged on the handle. It was locked. No matter. The pint-sized conjurer mustered the very last of his magic to quickly and quietly unlock the door. It drained him of any energy he had left, and he was suddenly very tired. He needed to rest.

So, Babidi headed towards uninhabited land as to not be discovered. He needed to start phase two of his plan as soon as he was at full power. Babidi would give himself a week to fully recover his magical energy. As soon as he was fully-charged, he needed to smell out a few worthy minions to do any and all of the fighting that would inevitably be required. There was only one problem, though. Before he could really set his master plan into action, he needed a way to test a theory he had been working on. Obviously, Babidi used the evil in the hearts of people to twist their thoughts and make them loyal to him and only him. He needed someone with an impure heart and a significant amount of power to be a body guard.

The theory that Babidi's malicious little mind had concocted was not at all impossible. On the contrary- it would most likely work. Instead of exploiting the impurity of a person's heart to control them, he would use their fears. Not everyone had an impure heart, but EVERYONE was afraid of something. Once inside someone's mind, the little wizard could bring forth some of the individual fears of the person. He would then make them live through some of their worst fears until they couldn't take it any more. They would need a way to get away from it, and the only one who could do that was Babidi himself- by making them his slaves.

Even the strongest-willed people probably wouldn't be able to last for long against this kind of "persuasion". Babidi could easily fabricate extremely realistic and vivid visions that the individual would have no way of escaping. People's thoughts would be consumed by these fears, and they would look for any means of escape. Sooner or later, they would find that little window of sanctuary that Babidi would have open. The moment they chose to escape these visions, they would be giving consent to the wizard to twist their thoughts in any way he pleased. Oh, how deliciously fiendish was his plan!

He spent all those weeks perfecting this theory. However, he hadn't been able to test any of these ideas while he was cooped up inside the mind of Buu, so he wasn't 100% sure of their successfulness. BUT, if it did work, nothing would be able to stop him.

Ever.

This plan, if he could pull it off, would let Babidi have complete control of the universe. No one would be powerful enough to stand in his way, and of this he was a first-hand witness. Universal domination would be as simple as a snap of the fingers.

Babidi would also be able to exact sweet revenge against Goku and his friends in the most nefarious and evil way possible.

What would be better than to have Earth's strongest fighter do all of the dirty work for him?
