"This is bad, he's falling way to fast for them to catch him." Akihiko said nervously.
"Takeba, slow him down." Mitsuru said quickly.
"Right, Io Garula." Yukari said as her persona appeared and slowed Gohan's descent with the wind attack.
"Got you Gohan." Goku said catching his son and landing next to SEES. "Thank you."
"No, it was our pleasure." Mitsuru said calmly. "Of course there are quite a few things we need to discuss."
"What's that above your head by the way, is it some kind of energy thing?" Junpei asked.
"Oh this?" Goku asked looking up at his halo. "No I'm actually dead."
"No way, if you're dead how are you here?" Yukari asked nervously. "Don't tell me you're a ghost."
"I don't know, I guess." Goku said thoughtfully as Videl landed next to him. "A friend of mine let me come back to Earth for twenty-four hours."
"I see, and how long have you been on Earth?" Mitsuru asked.
"Not that long, maybe an hour or two." Goku said looking up. "Some of my friends are on the way."
As soon as he said that, Vegeta, Piccolo, Kibito, the Supreme Kai, Goten, and Trunks landed in front of the group.
"What's wrong with Gohan?" Goten asked nervously.
"He'll be fine." Kibito said calmly. "I can heal him."
"Goku, I think you should talk with the Supreme Kai." Piccolo said.
"If you need to discuss something I believe I know somewhere we can talk." Mitsuru said. "You can come with me."
"Alright, thank you for your assistance." the Supreme Kai said politely.

"So let me get this straight, a wizard somewhere on the planet is gathering energy to revive a creature called Majin Buu, and if he does the universe will be in great danger?" Akihiko asked.
"Yes, that's why I made a point to locate Babadi's ship." the Supreme Kai said. "Unfortunately I'm not strong enough to stop him, that's why I needed to find the strongest warriors on this planet."
"Still if they can drain our power we can't just rush in head first." Piccolo said. "We need to come up with a plan."
"That's true." Mitsuru said. "I propose we work together. When Arisato called his persona he was able to fight back."
"Persona, I've never heard of that." Vegeta said suddenly. "What kind of fighting technique is that?"
"It would be easier to show you, Akihiko." Mitsuru said calmly.
"Right, if you have the potential you can call your persona." Akihiko said picking up his evoker. "Then you just need one of these and you can summon it. Polydeuces."
With those words Akihiko put the evoker to his head and pulled the trigger, causing his persona to appear behind him.
"Impressive, so you can call warriors to fight for you." Vegeta said. "How powerful is this warrior?"
"It's much more powerful than the average person, but until today we didn't know you could summon it in the middle of the day." Akihiko said honestly. "Of course I can do this, Rakunda."
Suddenly a purple glow surrounded Vegeta.
"Vegeta, what's going on you feel weaker." Goku said in shock.
"My persona reduced his defenses." Akihiko said. "It makes it easier to take down our enemies."
"That could be useful, so you all can fight?" Videl asked.
"No, actually I can't fight at all." Fuuka said. "My persona isn't able to fight."
"Then what use are you?" Vegeta asked irritably.
"There are other aspects of a battle, Yamagishi can do far more important things than fight." Mitsuru said calmly.
"She's able to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of our enemies during battle." Yukari explained. "You wouldn't believe how useful that can be."
"Yeah, she's saved us more than once." Junpei said with a grin.
"Well with that out of the way we still need a plan to stop Babidi." Kibito said. "Our time is short, and with the energy they obtained from Gohan there's no telling how much longer it will be until Majin Buu is revived."
"In that case we should move out as soon as possible." Mitsuru said. "Once we arrive Arisato and the Supreme Kai can lead our operation."
"That's fine, though you guys can't fly." Gohan said.
"That's true, but I can get around that." Mitsuru said calmly. "I can have a helicopter here within the hour."
"Alright, in that case all we can do is wait and make sure everything is alright." Videl said.
"Oh yeah, I should go let Chichi know what's going on." Goku said putting his fingers to his forehead. "Be right back."
With those words Goku disappeared.

"Goku, where did you guys go?" Krillin asked. "The final match is about to start because you all left."
"Something came up, where's Chichi?" Goku asked.
"Right here, what's going on Goku?" Chichi asked. "Please tell me this isn't another threat to the world that you need to put yourself in danger to stop."
"Yeah, but hopefully this one can be stopped quickly and I'll be back soon." Goku said seriously.
"Just promise me you'll protect them Goku." Chichi said.
"I will, they'll be in safe hands." Goku said. "I promise."
"Alright, I'll see you when you get home." Chichi said as Goku teleported away again.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to just let him do that." Krillin said. "You've really changed Chichi."
"No, it's just pointless to fight him on this." Chichi said. "He's always been like that but as long as he takes care of Gohan and Goten I can't stop him."
"Yeah, you're right." Krillin said. "Oh, and good luck in our match."
"Thanks, I'll need it." Chichi said. "Well, let's get started."

"Welcome back dad, what did mom say?" Gohan asked calmly.
"She doesn't like that we need to fight but she's not going to try and stop us." Goku said.
"In that case we just need to wait for the helicopter, then we'll take down this Babidi person." Piccolo said calmly. "Still something doesn't make sense."
"What do you mean?" Minato asked.
"They took Gohan's energy but then they retreated without finishing him, they must have some reason for that." Piccolo said.
"We can ask when we find them, let's get going." Vegeta said quickly.
"Right, let's get going." Minato said calmly.
(The Z-warriors and SEES are preparing to confront Babidi and his minions in an attempt to stop the resurrection of Majin Buu. Next chapter they will arrive at Babidi's spaceship. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
