Well, there are the updated power levels. If the power levels seem overwhelming, well, Babidi has gotten some new warriors. It has been ten years since Jesse and Zarvon's time so some new powerhouses of evil will have risen and they would now be Babidi's slaves. The battles will not be easy.

Shin, the East Supreme Kai, highest ranking immortal in the universe, and the only Supreme Kai left after the battle with Majin Buu five thousand years ago, stares in helpless wonder at the young man before him. He had thought that Jesse had been forever sealed away within Limbo, but apparently he had been wrong. Jesse was here, free. How he had managed to make it to the Planet of the Kai's was a mystery, though. Jesse could shift between the dimensions, but could only travel within the dimension he was in. And since Jesse did not have a halo, he couldn't be dead.

"I take it your dumbfounded," Jesse says wryly.

"Jesse, how did you escape from Limbo?" Shin demands.

"Well, Girin and I had tried sending Dabura to Limbo," Jesse explains, "but because Dabura reversed it, he created a time release. It ran out ten years ago, or thereabouts."

"This is wonderful!" Shin exclaims, "now the Four Heroes will be together again."

Jesse grins. "Shin, that is not all. There are much bigger problems afoot than whatever it was that just had you worried."

"What could be bigger than a star going nova and billions dying?" Kibito demands hotly.

"How about Majin Buu being released and everyone dies?" Jesse asks.

Shin gulps. "M-majin Buu? But how? How do you even know of him?"

Jesse chuckles. "Well, to be honest, I am not strictly the Jesse you knew. You are aware of the journey through time that the demi-Saiyan Trunks Briefs undertook, are you not?"

"Yes, quite a remarkable young man, that one is," Shin comments, "very noble and pure of heart. Selfless in his desire to protect others. Reminds me of you, Orzin, Girin, and Olibu to be honest."

Jesse nods. "I agree. Well, when he traveled back in time, instead of changing his present he created a divergence in the timeline. From a particular point he created a new timeline. I am from that timeline. Not long after I was released from Limbo in that timeline, Babidi, the son of Bibidi, came to Earth to free his father's creation. Thanks to the still-living Saiyans, myself, and your counterpart, we went to try and stop Buu from being released. We failed, but that wasn't the end of things. A demi-Saiyan by the name of Son Gohan has tremendous hidden potential. He had reached the third level of Super Saiyan. To make a long story short, eventually we overwhelmed Buu with Gohan's raw power. He became so strong that comparing Buu at his greatest against Gohan would have been like comparing yourself against Buu, Shin."

"How can a mere mortal possess that much power?" Shin whispers, "that would make him stronger than the Dai Kaio himself!"

"He did become the strongest non-Fused being to ever live," Jesse agrees, "but Gohan and myself ended up having to Fuse after a Fusion of Dabura and Buu, known as Dabuu absorbed the others. It turns out your Earrings can Fuse two beings together permanently, or until they are hit by the technique Kamin taught me, the Shirubaa Bufu Kijutsu. We became the Warrior known as Jehan. Our power was tremendous, surpassing Dabuu's. We used the Shirubaa Bufu Kijutsu on Dabuua, splitting him back into Dabura and Majin Buu while we split back into Gohan and myself. Gohan killed Dabura with a single ki blast, then he focused on Majin Buu. Now, Dabuu had absorbed some very, very powerful warriors, and when Dabuu split back into Majin Buu and Dabura, Majin Buu held those that Dabuu had absorbed. When Buu tried to absorb Gohan, I got myself absorbed in his place. Using a special energy force field technique, I managed to keep him from absorbing me properly. However, he shrunk me into near-microscopic size. I wandered around inside of him while Gohan fought him on the outside, keeping him distracted from what was going on inside. Eventually, I freed the Saiyans Goku and Vegeta, as well as their sons Goten and Trunks. I also freed another Saiyan who ended up traveling with me to this timeline, Zarvon. We also freed the spirit of the good Majin Buu, which holds the form of what you last saw him as, Shin."

"The form that looks so much like the Dai Kaio?" Shin asks.

"Indeed," Jesse agrees, "it turns out that by absorbing the South Supreme Kai and the Dai Kaio, a schism was created in Buu's power. The good Majin Buu is not quite as powerful as Buu's true, original form, but it is still quite powerful. And by releasing the evil Buu's hold on that goodness, everything that was blocking his power was gone and he reverted to his original form and power."

"Oh no," Shin gasps, "how did you defeat him?"

"Dunno," Jesse admits, "he was being overmatched by Gohan and he was getting really, really mad. Rips in the Space/Time continuum began to open and all of existence was beginning to come under threat of Buu. I used a technique Kamin taught me to repair the rips, but Buu knocked myself and a Saiyan by the name of Zarvon into one of the rips before it closed. Luckily, I had already fully initiated the technique and the rips were closed. I can only hope that Gohan was able to destroy the evil Buu once and for all after Zarvon and myself were transported to this time."

"Remarkable," Shin says, "and you feel a lot stronger than you were when we last met."

"Myself, Trunks, and Zarvon just spent two days in a room called the Hpyerbolic Time Chamber. I believe its true name is Room of Spirit and Time. I have also spent six thousand years training to fight Dabura. I have gotten much, much stronger."

"You spent two days in such a room?" Shin gasps, "no mortal has ever spent even a full day in there!"

"No Saiyan except for Son Goku has ever spent time in one, and he lasted longer than anyone else ever has," Jesse points out, "Zarvon is a pureblooded Saiyan and Trunks is a half Saiyan. And I have had the benefit of being trained by a Supreme Kai, so I am more mentally fortified than any other human to have ever gone through it."

"So you received two years of training with a pair of Saiyans?" Shin asks.

"A pair of Saiyan who are at least Super Saiyan 2," Jesse says, "for a while, I was the second strongest one in there until Zarvon's power level started rising fast. Now, he's the most powerful being in the universe since he can become a Golden Oozaru."

"A Golden Oozaru," Shin whispers, "I remember when I last felt the power of a Golden Oozaru. It was three thousand years ago. He was the last Saiyan to ever even reach the Super Saiyan level. I believe he was a ancestor of the last Saiyan Prince."

"He probably was," Jesse says, "young Trunks is actually stronger than Zarvon unless Zarvon transforms into a Super Saiyan 3 or becomes a Golden Oozaru. And I am almost their equal with the various techniques I have learned that can increase my power level. When Dabura and I meet again, he shall die. I am now his equal, if not his superior."

"That means you are stronger than I am," Shin says, "Jesse, do you wish to try and draw the Z Sword?"

"I have no need of the Z Sword, nor do I want to try and use it," Jesse says, "I have seen what it can do. The way it gives incredible power is nothing more than glorified weight training. True, it is a mighty sword, but its true power lies with what is locked away inside of it. An East Supreme Kai from fifteen generations ago is trapped inside. He can only be released when the Z Sword is broken. I watched as Goku threw a block of katchin at Gohan, who tried to slice the block with the Z Sword. The Z Sword did not hold and snapped."

"The Z Sword holds an ancient Supreme Kai?" Kibito asks, "how remarkable."

"Even more remarkable is that the Old Kai can unlock a persons hidden powers, particularly the Mystic Force," Jesse adds, "when he unlocked Gohan's power with the Mystic Force, Gohan almost equaled the South Supreme Kai and the Dai Kaio in raw power. Too bad for him he had let his fighting sense dull. If he hadn't, things might have turned out differently. Then again, they may have turned out for the worst."

"This sounds truly remarkable," Shin says, "what of this Gohan's counterpart in this reality?"

"His fighting sense is honed sharper than anyone I have ever met," Jesse says, "he is very strong, being a Super Saiyan 2 just like his father. They are two of the strongest beings in existence. Only Trunks and Zarvon are hands-down stronger, though my counterpart and myself come fairly close. We can become stronger than Gohan and Goku, but we cannot hold that amount of power up for long."

"Incredible," Shin murmurs, "you mortals are quite gifted, reaching levels of power that only the Kai's have been able to reach."

"We're gifted," Jesse says, "Saiyans have a natural aptitude for battle. They don't have the vast abilities that you Kai's possess, but they do possess more raw power. I was trained by Kamin, so I have an edge in gaining strength. My counterpart has taken in a young woman whom Zarvon and myself knew the past version of as an apprentice, and has even gone so far as to get a Jagaan installed on her."

"That's monstrous!" Shin gasps, "Jagaan's are incredibly painful to install. Part of the brain is removed! If the Jagaan is ever removed, then the person who possessed it will suffer from mental deficiencies if they even survive having it removed."

"I know, and I was mad at my counterpart for doing it, but apparently Videl wanted it," Jesse sighs, "so, Shin, shall we go and join them? It would be a good idea to get to know your allies, and we can head Babidi off by going ahead and getting the Buu egg and hiding it. I never learned where it was in my timeline. Babidi had already moved it to his spaceship by then. If they are cloaked when they arrive, my counterpart and myself can lead you to them by locking onto Dabura."

"That's good," Shin says, "let's go. If your allies are as powerful as you say, then we won't need to gather any of the warrior's from the Grand Kai's planet."

"The only ones there who could make a difference are Gohan and Goku," Jesse says, "though if Piccolo merged with Kami, and then Girin, he would be an even more formidable ally."

"Of course," Shin says, "where are we going? Kibito and myself can go under our own power." Shin then realizes something and stares at Jesse." How did you get here, by the way?"

"I learned the Yardrat technique of Instant Transmission from the Goku of my timeline," Jesse replies, "and I have absorbed the fighting knowledge of this timelines Goku. He has been in Otherworld even longer than the Goku of my timeline, despite not being as strong. He's not far behind though. We are heading to Kami's Lookout."

Shin nods. "Earth's Lookout it is, then."

A golden aura envelops the three and they vanish in a flash of bright golden light.

Earth, Kami's Lookout

Jesse, Shin, and Kibito appear in a blaze of bright golden light, startling everyone except for Mr. Popo and Mirai Jesse.

"I take it these two are supposed to make a difference," Mirai Videl says disdainfully.

"Mind your manners, missy," Jesse snaps, "you are speaking to the East Supreme Kai and his retainer. Shin, here, is the highest ranking being in the universe. I suppose my counterpart and myself are just below him, since the apprentice of a Supreme Kai outranks a retainer like Kibito, and Kibito outranks the Grand Kai. No offense, big guy."

"None taken," Kibito says seriously. He had highly respected the Four Heroes six thousand years ago, and his respect for them had grown after they had done their best to stop Dabura during the final battle of that war. Jesse had been trapped in Limbo for six millennia, and anyone who could survive there with their sanity intact deserved respect. However, this slip of a girl needed to be taught a lesson.

"Young lady, I would appreciate it if you showed us some respect," Kibito says sternly, "it is not your place to approve or disapprove of of us."

"Videl, I would show Kibito some respect," Zarvon cautions, "I fought him in the Tenkaichi Budoukai that took place the very day the whole mess with Majin Buu, Dabura, and Babidi started in my timeline, and if he had not been holding back so much he would had torn me apart."

"How much did my counterpart hold back?" Kibito asks.

"He fought at about ten percent of his full power," Jesse answers, "he and Zarvon really clashed hard, though I don't know why he didn't use his full power. You and Zarvon would have been fairly close had he somehow gone Super Saiyan, but that didn't happen till later."

Mirai Jesse walks up and kneels before Shin. "It is good seeing you again, sir. I am sorry that I was not there all those millennia ago to help you against Majin Buu."

"It's all right, Jesse," Shin says kindly, "stand up. You did your best in the Demon Wars, and now you are here for the final confrontation against Majin Buu."

"Actually, we don't want another confrontation with Buu," Jesse says, "even as weakened as he is, he can still overpower even our best fighter, Zarvon. Even if Trunks and I Fuse using the Metamoreize Fusion Dance, we won't gain enough power to stop him. And since it would likely cause us to permanently become one, my counterpart and I probably won't be Fusing."

"Even though two of you is two too many," Zarvon chuckles. Both Jesse and Mirai Jesse manage to look wounded while Mirai Trunks and Mirai Videl laugh.

"That was so funny I forgot to laugh," Mirai Jesse and Jesse say drily in unison.

Videl pales. "Okay, that was really, really creepy."

"Whatever do you mean?" both Jesse's asks in unison again. They were synching their words using telepathy, but is was so subtle that Videl could not detect it.

"That!" Videl says, "that is really, really creepy."

"Say what?" Again, in unison, and now everyone else was beginning to be creeped out a bit as well. Except for Zarvon, since he had gotten used to hearing Gotenks' weird double voice as well as the voice of Truse, the Fusion of Jesse and Mirai Trunks.

"Stop it!" Videl screeches, "stop doing that! Its too weird!"

"What, you mean this?" both Jesse's ask in unison with a smug grin.

"Yes! Stop it!"

Both Jesse's grin and say one last thing in unison. "Sure, whatever."

"That was so much fun," Mirai Jesse adds with a teasing grin.

"Indeed it was," Jesse agrees smugly, "I know how to get under Videl's skin almost as much as you do, my older self. I went to school with her. So did Zarvon. Plucky girl. Softened up a bit later on though."

"That was when she started falling for Gohan, remember?" Zarvon reminds his time traveling companion, "by the way, you never seemed to doubt her attraction to him even when she was hiding it well. You knew?"

"Of course I knew," Jesse retorts, "she was thinking so loudly about him sometimes that I couldn't help but hear her, and I did my best to block her out! I knew the very day she discovered Gohan being the Great Saiyaman."

"Who is this Gohan?" Mirai Videl asks.

"A demi-Saiyan we went to school with in our home timeline," Jesse replies, "your alternate self will probably be married to him by the time we get back, if we ever get back."

"You're kidding, right?" Mirai Videl asks.

"Trust me when I say it still took months of being Gohan's friend for your younger self to fall for him," Jesse replies, "plus, he was saving her life almost every day under a corny superhero costume and name. By the Kai's those poses were ridiculous! But Gohan's sweet, caring nature and later on him giving her personal flying lessons made her see what a great guy he was. So unlike Sharpner."

"How in the world can you compare the two?" Zarvon asks, "Gohan was only blonde when he was a Super Saiyan, and they are both male and both attened Orange Star High and were friends with Erasa and Videl. That's all they had in common."

Jesse laughs. "Good point. Sharpner was the epitome of an arrogant jock and Gohan the sweet dork."

"I think you came close to taking the title of 'School's Biggest Dork' from Gohan though," Zarvon chuckles, "though not the sweetest. The only person I have ever met that is more compassionate than Gohan is his father. It's hard to believe that Goku is the second strongest being to ever live."

"That's Goku for ya," Bulma chuckles, "I really wish he could have been here to see Trunks defeat the Androids."

"He did watch as Trunks defeated the Androids and Cell," Jesse pipes up, "him, Gohan, all the Z Warriors were watching from the Grand Kai's planet. Every single one of them is proud of Trunks. Dunno about Vegeta though. He's on guard duty down in Hell."

"Guard duty?" Bulma asks, "I was sure he'd be one of the inmates."

"Nah, sacrificing himself to try and stop the Androids was selfless enough for King Yemma to allow him a second chance," Jesse replies, "Zarvon's counterpart is the same way. Me and my counterpart are ehading for that judgment as well."

"Really?" Bulma says, "you guys seem to be such great guys. How could you end up having to get a second chance to get into Heaven?"

"Rather not talk about it," both Jesse's say in unison, raising the hair on the back of Mirai Videl's neck. Both Jesse's share a knowing grin at that.

"This is all very interesting, but we do have other business at hand," Shin says.

"Of course," Jesse says, "Shin, could you take us to the Buu Egg? We get ahold of it and Babidi will have to come to us."

"Certainly," Shin says.

"I'll see you guys back at Capsule Corps," Bulma says, "take care everyone."

"This is just a retrieval mission," Zarvon grunts, "I doubt there'd be any need for caution."

"The slightest jarring could possibly release Majin Buu," Shin warns.

"I don't think so," Jesse says, "we had a bit of a skirmish, in which I lost my head to Dabura, in front of the Buu Egg. Quite a few high level ki beams hit it. We don't need to be gentle if we don't really have to be."

"Of course," Shin says, "Jesse, how much did you learn about Majin Buu in your timeline."

"Not really a lot," Jesse admits, "your counterpart and Kibito's counterpart told me of the battles Buu had with the other Supreme Kai's and the Dai Kaio, as well of the horror he had spread throughout the universe. I met Bibidi's father in Limbo. Little guy told me of the spells used to create Majin Buu."

"Same here," Mirai Jesse says, "between training Videl, I studied those spells and I've come up with a way to release the Dai Kaio and the South Supreme Kai. Well, almost. Right now I'd just split Buu into a good half and an evil half. And since Buu was originally evil, the evil half would have more power."

"Sounds similar to what happened to our Buu," Jesse says, "he split into a good and evil half. Videl's father, surprisingly enough, helped bring out the good in him."

"My father?" Mirai Videl gapes, "but how?"

"I'm assuming your father died fighting the Androids," Jesse says, "well, in our timeline when Cell reached his perfect self, your father was there when young Gohan defeated Cell. Since no one really saw what happened because of the brightness of the dueling Kamehameha Waves and because the Z Warriors promptly left the battlefield, he took the credit. He was still living off that lie when Zarvon and I arrived on Earth. Made your younger self quite obnoxious at times, to tell the truth. Didn't hold much with the way her father acted, but she still loved him. Anyway, he somehow befriended the pink tub of lard. When he almost got killed by a deranged gunman, Buu lost it and split in half. The fat half was the good half, and he held the appearance Buu will have if he gets released here, while the evil Buu was just plain ugly from what I've been told. Only Hercule and the good Buu really saw him before the evil Buu absorbed the good on."

"My father did that?" Mirai Videl asks.

"I'm willing to bet that old Hercule has undergone a major change of heart by now," Jesse chuckles ruefully, "by now he's likely related to the real person who killed Cell, though I doubt he would tell the world that."

"You really think my counterpart would marry this Gohan, don't you," Mirai Videl says acidly.

"My dear, I'd stake my life on it," Jesse replies.

"Oh, that reminds me of something," Mirai Bulma says, "I had been working on a two-seater Time Machine when our Gohan started training Trunks. I thought that when Gohan went back in time, Trunks would want to go with him. But when Gohan died, I scrapped that project. I had gotten the basic frame put together, but it can easily be modified to hold more people. I think Trunks and myself would like to go back with you for a visit."

"You should probably make room for a few more," Mirai Jesse says, "I'd like to take a look at what the world looks like in the past. And I'm sure Videl would like to see how life for her other self turned out."

"Damn right," Videl says evenly.

"So, Shin, care to take us to where ever the Buu Egg is located?" Jesse asks.

"Yes, let us go," Shin says.

"I'll head on back to Capsule Corps, start preparing dinner for you Saiyans," Bulma says.

"What about the armor?" Mirai Videl asks.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot," Bulma says, "I know Trunks and Zarvon will want Saiyan armor."

"Most definitely," Zarvon says, "my armor was destroyed eventually over the two years of training we received."

"Can the armor stretch to Oozaru size?" Jesse asks, "Zarvon will need it."

"He has his tail again?" Bulma remarks.

"Zarvon is currently the strongest being in the universe," Jesse replies evenly, "he is a Super Saiyan 3, and beyond that a Golden Oozaru."

"Isn't the Golden Oozaru accessible from even the basic Super Saiyan transformation?" Shin asks.

The three who had just recently gotten out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber blink in a stunned silence.

Guys?" Bulma asks. No answer.

"Um, guys?" Mirai Videl asks tentatively.

"Excuse me," Jesse says, his eyes hard. He vanishes in the Instant Transmission.

"Where did he go?" Zarvon asks, startled.

"Why did you space out like that?" Mirai Videl asks.

"Because they had likely never heard of a Saiyan who wasn't a Super Saiyan 3 transforming into a Golden Oozaru," Mirai Jesse remarks, then looks at Shin, "how do you know that the Golden Oozaru transformation is accessible from the first two Super Saiyan levels?"

"I am a Kai, after all, and I was worried about the destructive power of the Golden Oozaru's and the Saiyans in general," Shin replies, "the level of strength a Golden Oozaru has is based off of whatever Super Saiyan level that the Saiyan is in, but it isn't that much of a difference."

"While Jesse is gone, here is your new Saiyan armor," Bulma says, handing both Zarvon and Trunks a capsule full of the armor. The two go off to another room and easily find a set of armor for the each of them. Zarvon chose a black bodysuit with white armor and blue shoulder pads along with white gloves and boots. Trunks chose a blue bodysuit with white armor and gloves with white boots and no shoulder pads.

"Thanks mom, these are perfect," Trunks says as he walks out, pulling the gloves on.

"Very good, lady Bulma," Zarvon rumbles as he follows his prince, "this even appears to be of higher quality than my old set of armor."

"Thank you, Zarvon," Bulma beams at the praise, "it's so nice to hear praise from more than just Trunks."

Jesse reappears, looking a little friendlier than he had when he left.

"Where did you go?" Mirai Jesse asks.

"Took a trip to Hell to beat someone up to release my anger," Jesse replies, "came across Cell. He's absorbed 17 and 18 in Hell and is in his perfect form now. You have any idea how much religious dogma does not correctly describe Hell? Yes, some fire and brimstone, but its more like continuous torture, day in day out.

Trunks gulps. "Then at least he's already dead."

"Um, excuse me, but you're more powerful than he is now," Jesse tells Trunks, "heck, I'm stronger than he is, a fact that I proved to him by trouncing him."

"In less than five minutes?" Mirai Videl asks, "this Cell must not be very strong then."

"No, he's very strong," Trunks says, "Jesse, how did you beat him in less than a minute?"

"I went all out," Jesse replies, "Geyser of Power, Powaaanpu x5, and Kaioh-ken x20 all at once."

Zarvon and Trunks gulp while Mirai Jesse lets out a low whistle. They both had seen how strong and fierce Jesse was when using those three techniques and Mirai Jesse knew how much power was given by those three techniques combined. Jesse had once given Zarvon as a Super Saiyan 3 a good workout in the minute and a half he had when using all three techniques at their fullest.

"How did your body handle it?" Mirai Jesse asks. Using all three techniques at once created a tremendous strain on the body, much like the Kaioh-ken Attack did to those who were not properly prepared for it by fully mastering the Kaioh-ken Style.

"I think I bruised a muscle in my upper right arm, and I hit Cell so hard that I may have sprained a finger," Jesse replies, "other than that, I feel a little winded."

Zarvon, knowing Jesse's stamina, pales at how much power that meant he had channeled. "I am still amazed that a mere human can possess that much power."

"Hey, Gohan is the most powerful being we have ever met, and he is half Saiyan half human," Jesse says, "and if a half-breed Saiyan is that strong, then a pureblood Saiyan should be stronger. So it has to be the mix that gives Gohan such incredible potential. Humans ae far from weak. Remember, I was stronger than you practically until you became a Super Saiyan 2."

"Actually, you were stronger than me until I Ascended," Zarvon replies, "now, can we please go and get the Buu Egg?"

"I'll be seeing you, sweetie," Bulma says to Trunks as she climbs back into her jetcoptor, "good luck!"

"I sincerely hope that we do not need it," Shin says as he begins to envelop Trunks, Zarvon, Mirai Jesse, Jesse, Mirai Videl, Kibito, and himself in a teleportation aura. The various warriors vanish in a flash of blazing gold light.

Shin deposited the various warriors and himself on an island fairly untouched by human habitation. It was quite large, and possessed a large number of different types of terrain. Jesse immediately recognizes it from a few hazy memories he got from his Fusion with Gohan.

"Hey, this is the island where Piccolo trained Gohan!" Jesse exclaims.

"It is?" Trunks asks, "wow. Is this where the Buu Egg is kept?"

"It is," Shin confirms, "over there, deep underground."

The assembled warriors look and see a large trench that went deep.

"Oh my," Shin gasps, "it appears we may be too late. Babidi must have come early."

"No, that was created by the Saiyan warrior Nappa when he and Vegeta first arrived on Earth," Jesse says, 'remembering' from Gohan's memory, "he demonstrated his power by using an energy blast to create it. Gohan nearly wet himself at that display."

"My son did that?" Zarvon says, slightly impressed, "he must have definitely been a Saiyan Elite then."

"Why didn't the blast, so close to the Buu Egg, release Majin Buu?" Shin demands.

"Sir, a measly attack like the one that created that might seem to create a lot of damage, but you could be beaten nearly to death and still be able to do more than that little pothole."

"Well, it will make reaching the Buu Egg much easier," Shin says as he relaxed.

"Easy is good," Jesse says.

"Where do we take the Buu Egg?" Zarvon asks, "since we know moving it won't release him prematurely, we could take it someplace Babidi can never reach and then deal with the bug when he arrives."

"Why not go and deal with Babidi right now?" Mirai Videl asks.

"Because Trunks and Zarvon have no way to survive in the vacuum of space," Mirai Jesse says, "the rest of us could; Shin and Kibito because they are Kai's, and myself and myself because we have techniques that can allow us to survive in the vacuum of space."

"That and because we just can't detect the little yellow pipsqueak," Jesse adds, "I've tried everything to detect, and even fortuneteller Baba can't locate him. Of course, she couldn't locate us either."

"Well then, lets go down and get the Buu Egg," Mirai Jesse says, "my counterpart, Videl, and myself can use our telekinetic abilities to finish the digging. Blasting away would be irresponsible and dangerous. The risk of just blasting it open is too much."

"Jesse, are you sure that I am not strong enough to take on Buu's first form?" Zarvon asks.

"As a Golden Oozaru, you might be able to," Jesse answers, "but I never discovered exactly how much power he had in his current form. You are not strong enough to take on his true form. He is several times more powerful than you are, even at your best."

"Be that as it may, we will not be facing Majin Buu if we can help it," Shin says, "we will be taking the Buu Egg to the Planet of the Kai's and keep it there for all time. There it will forever be out of the reach of Babidi and anyone else who would wish to release Majin Buu."

"Are you sure that we can take this thing through such methods of transport without weakening the seal on it?" Mirai Jesse asks, "even the Yardrat technique of Instant Transmission and the technique used by Earth's Kami to visit Earth's Check-in Station could weaken the seals keeping Buu inside the Egg."

"Good point," Shin says, "and having Buu loose in Otherworld would be even worse than having him loose in the living world. Dying in Otherworld would result in passing into oblivion."

"And even being near oblivion is not fun," Jesse says, "I used up too much energy trying to destroy Dabura and almost passed on into oblivion."

"Well, if we can't risk taking this thing to Otherworld, where do we take it?" Mirai Videl asks.

"Good question," Trunks says.

"Well, there's always just hiding it in a place that would be advantageous for us to fight and wait for Babidi to come along with his dregs to try and take it from us," Jesse suggests.

"That is what we will do," Shin says, "after this, Kibito and I can take it somewhere else where no one would think of looking for it."

"How can you do that without teleporting in some fashion?" Mirai Jesse asks, "you will need to keep an eye on the universe, after all."

"You do remember how fast the ships of the Southern Quadrant can be, do you not?" Shin asks with an impish smile, "we will be using one of those."

"I swear, you're as much a speed hound as the Kai that took your place overseeing most of the functions of the Eastern Quadrant!" Mirai Jesse sighs while Jesse laughs, "oh shut up you."

"I'm sorry, but at least you could say you're laughing at yourself," Jesse says cheekily. That sends Trunks and Zarvon howling with laughter while Mirai Jesse fumes.

"Two of you is definitely one too many," Mirai Videl snickers.

"Your telling me," Mirai Jesse grumbles.

"I agree with that statement," Jesse chuckles, "don't be a stick in the mud."

"And you're a cheeky bastard," Mirai Jesse retorts.

"You do realize that you're insulting yourselves, right?" Kibito asks.

"Of course!" the two Jesse's chorus, "but its all in fun!"

"Let's go and hide the Buu Egg," Jesse continues.

"Question," Zarvon says, "where do we hide the damn thing?"

"Well, I would suggest the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, but the door's too small and the shift of Space/Time might unleash Buu," Mirai Jesse says.

"There's always moving it to some desert and someone waits for Babidi's henchmen to come and get it," Jesse adds, "we got plenty of options, its just deciding which one to use that is the problem. I would suggest the moon, but only four of us can survive in the vacuum of space."

"Actually, all of us but Zarvon and Trunks," Mirai Jesse says.

"Ah, you taught her the barrier techniques?" Jesse asks.

"But of course," Mirai Jesse chuckles smugly, "I would be a poor teacher if I did not teach her that much. After all, Kamin taught us so much in a few years. I spent the first three years of Videl's apprenticeship raising her power level and training her in ki manipulation. Then she received her Jagaan. The last five years have been used teaching her various techniques and other uses of her power."

"About how strong is she?" Jesse asks, "in terms of the system of the Iceling Frieza and his empire, that is."

"Not sure the exact power level," Mirai Jesse admits, "but she's roughly six percent stronger than the Iceling Frieza. Perhaps as strong as Frieza's brother, Cooler."

"That would put her at about as strong as Olibu was, wouldn't it?" Jesse asks.

"She can get stronger with some power-up techniques, but that's her general best, yes," Mirai Jesse admits.

"So she's stronger than we were when we got trapped in Limbo," Jesse chuckles, "quite an accomplishment for a mere human."

"Mere human?" Mirai Videl growls.

"Of course," Jesse replies with mock innocence, "me, you, and my future counterpart are merely human. Our potential is nothing compared to that of Zarvon and Trunks. Heck, as Super Saiyan 2's they have more power than any of us can achieve. Well, except me but that's only because I just spent two years training with them and I learned the Kaioh-ken Attack."

"The special technique of the style of the North Kai?" Mirai Jesse asks, surprised, "how'd you learn it?"

"Went to the Grand Kai's planet and talked to Son Goku, the only being to master his style," Jesse replies, "we traded fighting knowledge. I gave him some of our techniques and he gave me practically his entire fighting knowledge. I just wanted the Kaioh-ken Attack and maybe the Kamehameha of the Kamesennin Style but he surprised me."

"He put that knowledge to good use in training us," Zarvon says, "he completely overwhelmed Trunks and myself and forced Trunks into Super Saiyan 2. Then Trunks used the same tactic on me and I was finally able to become a Super Saiyan 2 once again."

"You mean you forgot how?" Mirai Videl asks.

"No, but when I had Ascended before I was tapping into the Mystic Force within me somehow, and that made me Ascend quickly all the way into a Golden Oozaru," Zarvon replies, "then when Jesse and I were thrown into that Space/Time rip, it messed me up and I could only become a normal Super Saiyan. When I tried to Ascend, my body resisted and tried to become an extremely muscled form of Super Saiyan. However, since my body had somehow become accustomed to Ascending into Super Saiyan 2, it kinda shorted out and I passed out."

"Bummer," Mirai Jesse comments, "but that problem is over now, right?"

"It is," Zarvon replies, "it took almost the entire two years, but with the help of Jesse and Trunks I was able to transform into a Super Saiyan 3 again."

As the group talks, they fly over to the hole in the ground created by Nappa years ago.

"Both Jesse's and miss Videl, you will come with me," Shin says. The three humans nod and follow the East Supreme Kai down until the reached the bottom of the hole.

"The Buu Egg is two hundred feet down," Shin says, "directly below us."

"Not a problem," Jesse says, his eyes beginning to glow a faint silver. Mirai Jesse's eyes glow silver as well while Mirai Videl removes her headband and opens her Jagaan eye. The indigo eye begins to glow with indigo colored light as she focuses her psychic power on the ground below them. The ground begins to shake, crack, and split. Dirt and rock floats up as the trio of psychics use their power to deepen the rift in the Earth. Jesse would use a wave of pure telekinetic force to loosen the ground beneath them while Mirai Jesse would shatter the rocks beneath them. Mirai Videl would then everything they loosed up and pile it onto the edge of the rift.

This continued for nearly an hour until they finally uncovered the Buu Egg.

"That is what holds the greatest threat to the universe?" Videl asks skeptically when they telekinetically lift the Buu Egg up to the surface.

"Yep," Jesse says gravely, "that holds Majin Buu. It may not look like much, and he may not look like much, but appearances can be deceiving."

"Take Jesse for example," Zarvon adds glibly, "he looks like a skinny wimp, but in reality he is one of the most fearsome warriors I have ever met."

"Skinny?" Jesse demands incredulously while Mirai Jesse echoes his tone with "Wimp?".

"Uh huh," Zarvon replies with a cheeky smile, "neither one of you look very threatening, and yet you are tremendously powerful."

"I'm not sure if I should be insulted or complimented," Jesse tells his older self, who agrees.

"Its kinda too bad we really need him," Mirai Jesse says, a vicious smile on his face, "otherwise we could just kill him."

Jesse looks at his older self appraisingly, a thought forming in his mind. He decides to think on it later. His older self had had eight more years to sharpen his psychic powers, and he had had someone with a very powerful Jagaan eye to practice his abilities with. Then, as soon as the smile had appeared on Mirai Jesse's face, it disappears.

"So, where do we put it?" Mirai Jesse asks.

"Well, we need a place where we can have a large battle," Shin says, "there are many such places on Earth that we can use."

"I know a place we can use," Mirai Trunks grins, "it's where Frieza landed. The area there is large and spacious, and there are many places we can hide out if we have to."

"Dabura can sense ki," Shin says, "and so can Babidi. It is possible that Babidi can give this ability to his other slaves. We cannot rely on our ability to hide our ki."

"Don't worry," Jesse chuckles, "my older self and I can distract Dabura. Actually, we can confuse the Hell out of him. He manages to beat one of us down, the other pops up to take care of him."

"Which of us would get to take him on, though?" Mirai Jesse asks.

"You would, of course," Jesse replies, "I've already had my chance, and I failed. He beat me to a bloody pulp and later killed me. A word of advice: use the Geyser of Power right at the start. Keeping it up after the battle has been going on for a bit is a bad move. You'll be too hurt to focus properly, or too exhausted. I hope you've been building up your energy reserves."

"I have," Mirai Jesse replies, "so we will distract Dabura. Can everyone else deal with the rest of Babidi's minions?"

"If he hasn't found anyone else in the ten years of difference between our two times," Jesse answers, "Shin can deal with Yakon, and Videl can deal with Pui Pui. Zarvon and Trunks can eliminate the wizard themselves, or take care of Dabura in the event that we fail. They are our trump cards: if Babidi somehow releases Majin Buu, they are our only chances at eliminating him before something really bad happens."

"Which I really hope doesn't happen," Zarvon says, then looks at Mirai Jesse, "you said you could split the two of them into good and evil halves if Buu gets released, right?"

Mirai Jesse nods. "I can. It'll be difficult, but it can be done. I derived it from the techniques Earth's Guardians use to expel the evil from them to become worthy of the full range of their abilities as Guardian."

"That must be the technique that Piccolo used to split into Piccolo Daimou and Kami," Jesse muses, "only the evil was so powerful that it refused to dissipate and formed a physical shell. Which is quite amazing. I wonder if you could do that to Dabura to weaken him?"

"I doubt it," Mirai Jesse says, "but it is an idea. If we split him into separate good and evil components, he would be weakened enough for it to be a very interesting battle."

"Dabura is as good as dead," Jesse promises, "one of us can give him a good enough fight, the other can finish him off. One of us alone may fail, both of us will not."

"Wouldn't it be better to fight him together?" Zarvon asks.

"No," both Jesse's say in unison, then Jesse shakes his head, continuing, "for a warrior like Dabura, throwing him off balance would be better. First, we throw him off balance simply by being out of Limbo. Then, when the one who fights him first is defeated, he'll think that he will no longer have to worry about the disciple of the North Supreme Kai. Then, the other of us will appear and give him a major shock. The one who stays back will then attack him and hopefully defeat him. Even if we don't beat him and die, he will be weakened enough for any of you to beat him. Zarvon, Trunks, you two may not even need to transform to take care of him."

"He's the only one we would need to transform to take care of," Zarvon adds, "that Yakon only perished at Goku's hands because of the tactic he used to kill him. And Prince Vegeta killed Pui Pui without even transforming."

"Unless Grendel has achieved his power," Jesse says, "if he has, then you may be in some trouble. His potential, while not quite as dangerous as his grandfather's special ability, would put his power level comparable to that of Zarvon as a Super Saiyan 3."

"So, will someone be staying to keep an eye on this thing?" Mirai Videl says, indicating the Buu Egg.

""I will stay and guard the Buu Egg," Kibito vows.

"First, we'd better get it to our chosen battle site," Jesse says, lifting the Buu Egg telekinetically, "lad the way Trunks. You're the only one with even a clue as to where it is."

The seven warriors take flight, Trunks in the lead. It only takes them half an hour to reach the site of the future battle, the place where Frieza and his father had finally met their end. In one timeline, they had been defeated by Son Goku. In another, they had been defeated by Trunks Briefs.

The terrain turned out to be mountainous, providing several places for them to hide should they need it.

"Shouldn't we bury this thing about as deep as we found it?" Zarvon suggests, "I would think that Babidi would be suspicious to find it in open ground."

"Good idea," Mirai Videl says as she powers up slightly and forces as much power as she could into her telekinesis. With a great mental heave, she lifts up a column of dirt, soil, and rock into the air that was close to a hundred feet in diameter.

"Put it in," Mirai Videl strains. She wasn't used to such an effort with her telekinesis.

"Of course," Jesse says as he telekinetically lifts the Buu Egg and lowers it to the bottom of the hole created from Mirai Videl's telekinesis. With a mental shrug, Mirai Videl releases her hold on the giant block of dirt, soil, and rock. It comes crashing down, sending up clouds of dust and shaking the ground slightly. When the dust settles, the entire area is even rockier than before.

"Good work," Jesse says approvingly, "telekinesis isn't your strong suit, is it?"

"I don't do much work on that scale," Mirai Videl grunts, her mind strained at the effort she had just put it through.

"Should've let one of us do it then," Jesse replies, "we can handle such a job with ease. Stick to what you know you can do. Only do something that is beyond your capabilities when you have no say in the matter. Otherwise, you're just asking for trouble. Trunks and Gohan are perfect examples of that. Fighting the androids was beyond their capabilities, but if they didn't fight then the androids would have wreaked supreme havoc over the entire world, worse than what they did do. It finally paid off, because they were always able to escape or were left for dead. By the time Trunks was able to defeat the androids, he had become one of the strongest warriors in existence, and in fact one of the strongest warriors in the last four thousand years."

"The strongest is still Majin Buu at his true form," Zarvon adds, "and the South Supreme Kai and the Dai Kaio were close in strength to him."

"Lets get back to Capsule Corps and relax," Jesse suggests, "tomorrow is a big day."

Shin teleports them all, except for Kibito who will be standing watch over the terrain to make sure Babidi doesn't show up early, back to Capsule Corps for rest and relaxation.

"Shin, do you think you could visit King Yemma and tell him to get ready to over a day of life to the warrior's Vegeta, Son Gohan, and Son Goku?" Jesse asks, "if we need back-up, they are the only ones who will be able to give it. I can teleport to the Grand Kai's planet and tell the Sons and then teleport to Hell to tell Vegeta so they can get ready."

"What about my counterpart?" Zarvon asks.

"Your counterpart wouldn't be strong enough," Jesse says, "he'd be as strong as you were when you got to this timeline, minus the Super Saiyan transformation."

"Good point," Zarvon concedes, "isn't there anyone else we could get to help us?"

"None," Jesse says gravely, "I'm afraid the only ones dead who could be of any real help against Majin Buu should he be released are Gohan, Goku, and Vegeta. Gohan and Goku should know the Fusion Dance, and as Ascendant Super Saiyans they should be strong enough to really hurt Majin Buu. I can imprint the knowledge of the Fusion Dance into Vegeta's mind and he could Fuse with Trunks. Or Goku and Vegeta could Fuse into Gogeta and Gohan and Trunks could Fuse into someone."

"I don't think Vegeta would consent to share a body with Goku," Bulma says dryly.

"Your probably right," Jesse admits, "it took seven years of change and a lot of talking from Goku to get Vegeta to do it in our timeline. But their power was enormous. Almost as much as Zarvon's is now as a Golden Oozaru. And the only reason it matters who Fuses with who is the combination of personalities. Goku and Vegeta Fused made the ultimate fighter. The Trunks of my time and Goten, the younger son of Goku, Fused into Gotenks, and he was even more arrogant than Vegeta. Their power was great, as much as Goku's, but it was far from enough. And they weren't even eight. But if we can get two Fusions of all the Saiyans, then we can get a lot of power on our side. Hopefully enough to stop Buu if he is released."

"And if it isn't?" Shin asks.

"Then we ain't got a chance," Jesse says gravely, "our only chance is if Majin Buu is not released. If we can kill Babidi, then the universe is safe from the threat of Majin Buu for the rest of eternity."

"And that is good," Zarvon says, "I've fought Majin Buu at his strongest. I was nowhere near as strong as he was, but I was able to hinder him for a little while. I wish I knew how he was defeated in our time."

"Probably got Gohan pissed at him," Jesse replies evenly.

"I still remember when Cell pushed Gohan over the edge," Mirai Trunks says, "I can believe that getting Gohan mad at you is very hazardous to your health."

"Gohan possesses three great powers," Jesse says, "the Mystic Force, the Rage, and another power for which I have no name. The Rage is what gives him his power boost whenever he got really pissed off. The Mystic Force is what gave him his final power boost. The other had already been unlocked."

"That was the power that the Namekian Elder Guru gave him," Bulma says, "it was unlocked when he traveled to Namek with me and Krillin."

"Well, Zarvon and myself do possess the Mystic Force," Jesse says, "in fact, its what gave Zarvon his big powers boost into the three realms of Super Saiyan. It isn't fully unlocked, but enough of it is to make him a lot stronger. He wouldn't even be half as strong as he is now without it."

"I have been trying to unlock the Mystic Force within myself," Mirai Jesse says, "I haven't unlocked it yet, but I am close."

"The meditation techniques?" Jesse asks and Mirai Jesse nods.

"I wish I had paid more attention to what the Old Kai was doing when he was unlocking Gohan's Mystic Forces," Jesse sighs.

"We could go and get the Z Sword," Shin suggests, "one of you can train with it until Babidi arrives."

"No," Jesse says, "the Z Sword is an incredibly powerful artifact. It took a Saiyan almost an entire day to master it. A human, even my counterpart and myself, would not be able to do that. Besides, Gohan had to go all the way to Super Saiyan 3 to draw it, and I can barely match that power, and then only for ninety seconds. It's best to use that as a last resort."

"We shall do that," Shin says, "I just hope we won't regret that decision."

"Shin, if we need the Z Sword to give us a power boost, it would be better to just break it then and there and get the Old Kai to unlock our Mystic Force," Jesse says seriously, "none of us will become as strong as Gohan was, but Zarvon should become strong enough to really hurt Majin Buu. None of us possess the Rage, and neither Zarvon or myself have enough of the Mystic Force to equal Gohan."

"Do we really have a chance?" Shin asks, "what if Babidi has come across some more powerful warriors from the Demon World?"

"It has been ten years," Jesse admits, "but the only one we would have to worry about is Grendel. I don't know how powerful he is supposed to be, but he is very powerful."

"Oh Trunks, I just remembered something," Bulma says, "during the first day you three were in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, I went to where you told me Dr. Gero's lab was. I went inside and found Android Sixteen as well as the beginnings of Androids 19 and 20. I did a little work on Android Sixteen and I'm almost done reprogramming him. From what you told me, he could be a big help. And since he is not organic and has no ki, Babidi wouldn't be able to detect him."

"You plan to use an artificial life form, much like the ones that have ravaged your planet for the last eighteen years, to protect it?" Shin asks in surprise.

"It's a sound plan," Jesse says, "from what I gather from the memories I shared with Gohan while we were Fused, Android Sixteen would be almost as powerful as you are, Shin. Perhaps a little stronger."

"Any help we can get will be appreciated," Shin admits, "but are you sure it is wise?"

"Well, if he goes haywire and tries to kill you, Trunks or Zarvon can dismantle him with his," Bulma says, "anyway, I need to get back to work on him. I was thinking of rebuilding Android Nineteen, but I decided against it. He wasn't even as powerful as Piccolo was before merging with Kami, meaning he was extremely weak. Too weak to be of any real help. I am installing that energy draining system on Android Sixteen though. It could be very useful."

Bulma returns to her work on the reformed Android Sixteen while the six warriors sit and talk, discussing battle strategies and learning from Zarvon the strengths and weaknesses of the fighters he saw under Babidi's enthrallment.

They have less than twenty-four hours to be ready for the coming of the wizard Babidi.

somewhere in space, Babidi's spaceship

"Dabura! Get in here!" The speaker was a little yellow alien with an orange cape and blue robe.

A tall red demon wearing a blue outfit with a white cape walks into the room. He glares down at his supposed master. "Yes, master Babidi?"

"We are almost to Earth," Babidi says, "my spells have reported that the two androids have been defeated. As it turns out, we should not have been afraid of them. The one who defeated them is strong, but not as strong as you. Plus, as flesh and blood, you can turn him to stone."

"Good," Dabura rumbles, "and it is good that we waited these ten years. My son Grendel has come into his full power, and we have several other powerful warriors that we did not have ten years ago."

"Yes yes," Babidi says off-handedly, "but now we are free to go and get my father's creation. When Majin Buu is released, he will destroy everything except those I choose for him not to destroy. Go and tell the pilot to set full speed to Earth."

"Yes, master Babidi," Dabura says with a bow. He leaves Babidi's chamber and heads for the cockpit of the ship with an evil smile on his face. When Majin Buu was released, he would use the Kai Earrings that he had taken off the carcass of a Kai during the Demon War and use them to Fuse with Majin Buu. And with a little of his dark magic poured into the Earrings, he would be in total control of the new Fused being. And when that was done, he would be the mightiest being to ever exist.

A note to the person who told me Frieza's max was fifteen million. I have not read the manga. I go by what the show said and what I decided for myself. My DBZ fics are a blend of the dubbed anime and the original Japanese versions. Some things just sound better in the Japanese version, such as Tenkaichi Budoukai instead of World Martial Arts Tournament. Kamesennin Style over Turtle School, though I do use both names depending on what is going on. Son Goku over Goku Son is another thing I like. The Sons are the only ones whom I say their names in the traditional Japanese style of the surname being first. Though surname being first does not matter for Vegeta, which I am glad for.

On the note of a normal Super Saiyan being able to transform into a Golden Oozaru. Okay, as far as I know, it is plausible. I have yet to see a DBGT episode where anyone transforms into a Golden Oozaru, but from what I gather Goku was definitely a Super Saiyan 3 when he became one, and as far as I know of Vegeta never reached Super Saiyan 3, though his power was comparable to one as Bebi Vegeta. Vegeta did reach Super Saiyan 4, however.

Well, I hope everyone leaves a review. I love hearing what people have to say about my work.
