Kagato threw the two warriors away and blasted them. Being too weak to dodge the blasts hit them and exploded in the air. Then Kagato appeared in the smoke and started beating them both.

Piccolo looked down from the lookout horrified

"What is it?" Ayeka asked concerned

"You feel it too don't you" Dende's voice said solemnly as he walked up to join them.

"What is it?" Ayeka repeated "What's going on"

"Vegeta and Ryoko have separated and now…." Piccolo gulped "Now Kagato has the advantage"

"But how? I thought they were winning, how could this have happened?!"

"The fusion had a time limit. It ran out during they're fight. Now they are too weak from fighting to defend themselves"

"Well then we have to go down there and help them! Certainly there's something we can do! If we beat Kagato this whole thing will be over" Piccolo shook his head

"I don't think so" he paused briefly" Kagato has come back from the dead aligning himself with our old foes. I don't know how many more are out there or what they're planning but I don't think we've seen the last of any of them"

"Then what can we do?"

"I –"

"Hey guys" Washu called out to them. They turned to see her pointing with her thumb and a grin on her face "Guess what". They looked over to healing tanks and Goku's was blinking.

Vegeta flung himself at Kagato but a shield protected him. Kagato grabbed Vegeta by his throat and flung him into Ryoko, knocking the two together and dropping to the gound soon after. He let out a small chuckle.

"Well it seems your harder to kill than I anticipated" he hovered up to them "But in the end you'll all die, I promise you that" he let out a evil smirk.

"No!" Vegeta yelled getting his attention "Not me!" he said said getting up. Then he put his hands together and shot a blast at him. The blast collided with him and Kagato disappeared in smoke. Vegeta battered and bloody looked into the smoke with a grimace, and he heard laughter.

"Well that was amusing prince" Kagato said as he appeared. Vegeta snarled and Kagato lifted his right hand. "Let me try". Then Vegeta charged him and Kagato let loose a large green blast from his hand and the sayain prince was engulfed in it. Ryoko jumped out of the way landing on the ground just in time. The blast was long and large, carrying Vegeta across the landscape as he was hit by it. His violent screams could be heard from inside. When Kagato was done he lowered his arm.

Vegeta lay on the other side of the valley, his hair turned from golden back to black. Ryoko then fazed down in front of him.

"Hey Veggie come one" she shook him but he did not budge. Kagato then appeared before them.

"Compassion seems so unlike you Ryoko" he said. Ryoko then got up and prepared to charge him.

Back on the lookout

"What's that mean?" Goten said poking at the tank.

"Don't touch that!" Washu exclaimed as Goten backed off "That means his healing is complete" she said turning her attention to the tank "He should be waking up any minuete now". They all leaned in to stare at Goku. His eyes remained shut and he showed no signs of awakening any time soon. They all leaned in more in anticipation. Then his eyes shot open shocking them all. The hatch opened and Goku pulled the cords and wires off of him to step out of the tank. Everyone else stood on in amazement. " How do you feel?" WAshu asked.

Goku flexed his hands "I'm not sure" he started to stretcg his arms" I don't remember much either" he began stretching his legs "But it feels like I just woke up from a big nap. I remember the party and something went wrong and I had a horrible pain in my chest…"he went silent for a moment "Did I have some food poisoning?" he asked sheepishly. They all dropped their jaws as his question.

"Goku" Chi Chi said disappointed

"Dad" Gohan said with her. Then Piccolo walked up to him.

"Goku" he said getting his attention "Kagato is here"

"Oh the one Ryoko told us about. I remember him, but I thought he died"

"He did but it seems he's had help in the other world. Babidi it seems, Freiza and Cell as well"

Goku's face became serious "Wait I remember now" his memory coming back to him about the party "Is everyone okay?"

"Tenchi's the worst off now" Ayeka told him "But judging by how you healed my guess is he'll be fine soon"

Goku smiled "Alright, and thank you" he said turning his head down to Washu

"Don't mention it" she waved him off.

"There's more you should know" Piccolo said to Goku. Goku then listened in as Piccolo told him everything that happened since he was put in the healing tank. Vegeta and Ryoko's fusion , how they fought other villains but in their fight with Kagato they became separated and are now fighting for their lives.

"Oh No!" Goku exclaimed "Are they okay?!"

"I'm not sure how long they can last" Piccolo responded

"I've got to do something!"

"Are you sure? So soon after you left the tank"

"Relax" Washu reassured him "He's fine"

"Alright" Piccolo took a deep breathe "Washu is working on something here. I don't know what it is but she said it will help"

"In the meantime I'll go down to get Vegeta and Ryoko" Goku proclaimed

"Just be careful Goku" Piccolo advised him as goku walked to the edge of the lookout "Your our key player at this point and Kagato has been given powers by Babidi"

"Well I think I have a solution to that" Goku said. Everyone else looked at him confused

"You do?" Mioshi asked clueless

"Yep" he responded and then flew off to save his friends. Everyone on the lookout stayed behind, a little puzzled by his statement.

"Whatever did he mean?" Ayeka asked

"Yeah I don't get it" Mioshi said. Sasami and even Goku's family didn't understand.

"No offence but maybe he's a little crazy from being in that tank too long" Washu confessed dully "Whadda you think Piccolo" she said turning to him. The namekian was silent, but then it dawned on him. He knew exactly what Goku was planning.

Ryoko lunged forth but was punched back by Kagato. Vegeta in the meantime struggled to get up. Ryoko blasted Kagato but he dodged it easily then she charged him again. He grabbed her arm as she threw a punch and threw her into Vegeta. She landed on top of him with a thud, her back laid out over his body.

"Get..off" he grumbled in pain

"You know this isn't exactly fun for me either" she complained "And protecting you definitely isn't on my favorites list either".

"Get off!" Vegeta shouted and pushed her off. Then he brought himself up to stand on his feet, his left arm dangling by his side. Ryoko then stood up to join him. Kagato advanced on them. Then suddenly he disappeared. The two of them were shocked but then he reappeared before them, punched both of them in the gut with his fists and unleashed blasts sending them back. They both flew back and collided into the ground beside each other, now too weak to get up as Kagato advanced towards them. They were helpless as he brought his arms up collecting energy for one final blasts. The two of them looked on in horror.

"Goodbye" Kagato said. Ryoko and Vegeta winced as Kagato was about to unleash his blasts, then suddenly a fist came out of nowhere hitting him in the face and sending him flying back.

"Huh?!" the two of them let out from the ground. Someone else was before them, his back facing them. They could tell he was wearing orange pants, with blue boots. But the most distinguishable trait was his long waist length golden hair.

"Hey who're you?" Ryoko asked.

"You don't remember Ryoko?" she heard him say as his back was still to them "I thought I told you about my super sayain three"

"Kakarot" Vegeta mumbled.

"Goku?" Ryoko let out. Then Kagato appeared and tried to slash Gou with his sowrd. Goku easily and quickly maneuvered away from him, and kicked him back. Kagato struggled to regain his balance and when he did he gazed at this new warrior before him. He stood up straight with a stern look at him.

"Who are you? What do you plan to do?" Kagto asked him

"My name is Goku and I'm here to stop you!"

"Stop me? You little friends tried to stop me and look at where they got them. They're in no shape to fight"

"Yeah and neither are you" Goku commented "So take this" he tossed his a bean.

"Kakarot no!" Vegeta yelled Kagato looked on in question

"Is this a joke?" he discarded it immediately

"Siute yourself" Goku said

"I don't need any help I'll crush you now!" Kagato charged him

"Kagato stop" a voice snapped at him, stopping his assault. Goku Vegeta and Ryoko looked around in the air but could fine no trace of the speaker.

"Who's that?" Ryoko asked

"Could it be" Vegeta said

"Babidi" Goku concluded. The wizard's voice continued to speak.

"Kagato you will not fight them here not now at least. Return to the ship and we will discuss our plans from there. Kagato then stood up tall and looked to the sky, giving in. Before their eyes he disappeared in a flash of light. With nothing else to do Goku gave them sensu beans and they headed for the lookout. Kagto on the other hand appeared inside of a ship before babidi who was sitting on a throne.

"What may I ask was the purpose of that?" he asked approaching the wizard.

"Calm down, you can thank me later" Babidi waved his hand.

"I could have taken them"

"In your weakened state I think not and I've already told you what that one did to my Majin Buu" Babidi said. He then snapped his fingers and Kagato began to heal.

"Yes of course" he said fully rejuvenated "Well what now"

"I can only conclude they will come here to fight us. But we have the home field advantage so we will prevail"

"I know this ship very well they won't even reach us"

"I wouldn't be so sure of that" Babidi warned him. He then turned his attention behind him. Encased in glass was the same tool he used to restore energy for Majin Buu, although now it was encased in glass with wires running through it "We need more time, more energy" he mumbled.

"For now let us wait" Kagato said walking over to play his organ. Babidi remained sitting on the throne. The two were in the main room of Kagato's ship Souja which had become bigger than the last time it was seen. It was orbiting the planet until recently and had been the basis of operations for their plan. Only now had it made itself visible, it could be seen all around Earth, especially through the lookout. Piccolo looked up at in omniouly and then turned back to the others. Goku, Vegeta, Ryoko and a newly revived Tenchi were standing together. Ryoko holding onto Tenchi and Vegeta standing with his arms crossed.

"Alright" Piccolo said getting their attention "Is everything ready?"

"Yep" Goku shot him a thumbs up.

"And you know what you have to do?"

"Yep"

"Hey you worry too much" Ryoko said leaning an arm over Tenchi "What you don't trust us or something?"

"If our lives were in just your hands I certainly wouldn't" Vegeta said.

"Hey!" Ryoko scowled

"Enough" Ayeka said stopping a confrontation "You all know the plan, go up destroy the ship and stop them. We will do all we can from here with Piccolo's guidance. Clear?" Everyone nodded to her "Good".

"Alright" Ryoko grinned "Ryo ohki" she called out. With that said the creature jumped from sasami's shoulder and into the air above the lookout turning into a spaceship. The four of them entered the cockpit with Ryoko taking charge. The ship flew off into space as everyone waved off from the lookout. Piccolo stood next to Washu.

"So how is that invention of yours coming along?" he asked getting Washu's attention although keeping his eyes to the sky

"Very well if you must know, should be ready soon"

"Will it be able to help?"

"Most definitely"

"Do you think they'll be fine without it?"

"It'll take a miracle" she responded.

Babidi and Kagato watched through a crystal ball aboard the souja as they flew in Ryo ohki into space.

"Well this could be troublemsome" kagato comeented but Babidi only snickered "does the thought of their appearance so close to us amuse you?"

"My dear man, you forget you're in the company of a waizard" Babidi spoke up "Now" he said putting his hands over the ball as Goku, Tenchi, Vegeta and Ryoko were visible in it "Let's see what tricks I can play"

Babidi muttered some words and then shouted them out and the crystal ball shined in a blinding bright light. A light that overtook Ryo ohki and all who flew with her.
