A/N: Since there is a LOT going on in this chapter, with the appearance of Babidi, Buu, and Babidi's minions, it is safe to say this will be a LONG chapter… I may even have to split it… who knows, well, enjoy it! I warn you now, most of this chapter will be different then what happened in the series… lots of action in this chapter… Well then, ENJOY!
This chapter was inspired by (the DBZ and the Buu saga of course…) and Rob Dougan – Furious Angels
Makai Alexa: Yup yup tis true.
Princesa de la Luna: Yes, I hoped it would be a wow… lol, I know Chrono Crusade and Inuyasha…

Deep underground, in a buried ship only known to a select few, an old, wrinkled creature clutched his staff and gazed at a huge red egg gleefully. "I've found it… my father's treasure is mine! I will follow in his footsteps… I will conquer the universe!" He lifted his bone-thin fingers up and laughed. "All will tremble at my name, Babidi!" He chortled and then jerked his attention around to his minions. "Majin Buu will need energy if he is to awaken…" he turned his gaze to two servants he had recently ensnared into his will.
"Spopovich, Yamu… it is time to make yourselves useful to me… go, find the strongest energy reading and drain it! Take it from more than one source if you need to; just bring me back that energy!" He barked. His two selected minions bowed and after taking their means to extracting the needed energy, flew off to carry out their master's will. "Soon Buu… soon we shall rise and rid this back-water mud hole of its pathetic population!" Babidi laughed maniacally and ordered the egg to be brought topside.
Meanwhile, Gohan stood facing Vegeta, away from everyone so they would not harm anything. Vegeta had agreed finally, after struggling with his wounded pride that he would take special training from the once young boy. Although Vegeta hated the idea he had enough common sense to know that he really wouldn't stand a chance against Buu or Babidi and his other minions. So there they stood, face to face and ready to begin.
"Look, I don't like you and you don't like me but that doesn't mean we don't need you. As it stands if you are not able to defeat me you won't stand a chance against Buu…" Gohan said.
"Errmhp… FINE! But don't expect me to call you "master" or anything ridiculous like that got it?!" Vegeta yelled, not please by the idea at all. Honestly… he was the Prince of all Saiyans! And here he was going to be trained by the son of a low-class – a, nobody… who somehow was a million times more powerful than he was! It just wasn't fair! Gohan sighed in relief and nodded in agreement.
"Trust me, that'd be the last thing I'd expect or want to hear from you." Gohan said, unable to stop himself from sneering at Vegeta; said older Saiyan scoffed but shocked Gohan when he smirked good-naturedly and crossed his arms in an almost at-ease posture.
"At least… You act more like a true Saiyan than your father had when he was alive." Vegeta said. Gohan blinked, still surprised, this was as close to a compliment as he ever heard from the shorter man.
"Um… thanks, I think. Let's get started." Gohan instructed, facing his new pupil. Vegeta and Gohan began sparing, Gohan spoke as they fought, pointing out the best way to attack and defend, letting Vegeta know where he could improve and where he excelled… Gohan knew he did not need to say or do much to get this student to give it all he had. Vegeta went at Gohan with all his power and ability, still shocked that it did not faze the younger Saiyan at all.
They fought and trained for four hours straight until they both felt something headed their way… or two somethings. "What is that?" Gohan uttered to himself as he and Vegeta pulled from their attack to look into the skies. Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere – as if cloaked somehow – to pale skinned and impossibly muscled figures appeared, headed right toward Gohan. Gohan's eyes widened in shock and - out of instinct - literally slapped them away as if they were nothing but pesky insects.
Spopovich and Yamu blinked in astonishment and saw the confused and frustrated Vegeta… he would do just fine. They went at him quicker than he knew what hit him and shoved the needle connected to the device they held into his side. Gohan growled and went after them; Spopovich grabbed Gohan and attempted to fight him. Gohan, distracted by Spopovich, could not stop Yamu from draining all of Vegeta's energy before taking off.
"Gohan wait!" Supreme Kai landed next to him. Gohan staggered in shock at seeing the most power Kai, having heard of him from King Kai, and glanced only momentarily before turning back to the Kai and his tall, red-skinned servant. "You can not do this on your own, let us help heal your friend first." He said and motioned to Kibito. "This is Kibito, he will help Vegeta." He said and gestured for the tall man to do his stuff.
Kibito landed next to Gohan and Vegeta with Supreme Kai and crouched next to the fallen Saiyan. He placed his hands on Vegeta and a few seconds later a bright light enveloped the unconscious prince. Not two minutes later Vegeta groaned and opened his eyes, when his gaze fell on Kibito he jerked away and pulled himself up. "What in the hell is going on here? Where are those two morons who dared attack me, I'm going to rip them limb from limb!" He snarled and scanned the area, trying to locate their Ki signatures.
"Calm yourself Prince Vegeta." A voice said behind him, Vegeta turned to the short blue man and glared.
"And just who the hell are you to tell me what to do punk?" Vegeta snarled.
"Have some respect. That's the Supreme Kai!" Kibito growled.
"And who are you? His love slave?" Vegeta chuckled darkly and glared at Gohan. "And what have you been doing during all this? Why haven't you gone after then and killed them like a real Saiyan?" Vegeta snapped. Gohan shook his head and turned to Kibito and his master.
"Thank you… I think…" he said, muttering the last part under his breath.
"I heard that whelp!" Vegeta barked but before he could go on belittling those around the three were distracted by more people arriving. Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha, Trunks, and Videl landed next to them.
"Now is not the time to argue. We must go after them before Babidi has a chance of reawakening Majin Buu." Piccolo ordered, crossing his arms and glaring at Vegeta, challenging him to stall again.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Vegeta snapped and flew ahead of them. The group shrugged and followed shortly after.
"Gohan!" Videl ran over and hugged her husband. Gohan took no time in returning the hug and looked at the Kai and Kibito expectantly. "We met them on our way here… we thought it wasn't safe for you and Vegeta to be alone… not that Vegeta would have been much of a threat anyway…" Videl said the last part in a whisper only for Gohan's ears.
"Well… looks like we weren't all that safe anyway…" Gohan said and nodded his thanks to Kibito and King Kai. "Now let's go after those guys." He said and together the large group too off after Vegeta and the two fiends.
"They will take the energy to their master, Babidi, who will try to restore Majin Buu… we must stop them! Majin Buu can not be allowed to awaken!" Supreme Kai warned.
Elsewhere, Babidi watched as his two servants appeared and landed before him, bowing respectfully. "We have returned!" They said and unison.
"Ah, good, you have returned… have you the energy?" Babidi asked impatiently.
"Yes master but-"
"Good, give it to me!" He ordered and snatched the device. He grinned down at the tool in his hand and then turned to his servants who stood there expectantly. "I suppose you'll be wanting your reward now, correct?" he asked with a sneer.
"Y-Yes." Yamu answered, squirming under the evil wizard's gaze uncomfortably.
"Well, here it is…" he turned to them and lifted his hand toward Spopovich. Yamu watched in horror as Babidi began to torture Spopovich with gleeful sadism.
"Ahhhh what… are you doing?!" Spopovich squealed in pain, his pale skin turning fire-red as Babidi slowly expanded his inner energies, causing him to painfully swell like a balloon.
"Giving you your reward of course." Babidi said darkly and watched with a sadistic sense of pleasure as Spopovich screamed in anguish before he erupted from within, watching his blood and innards splatter. He turned and gave Yamu a leering grin. "Your turn…" he said slowly but Yamu would not be sticking around…
"N-NO!!" Yamu screamed and fled in terror, taking off into the skies.
"Oh no you don't… Pui-Pui." He turned to his servant in the shadows.
"Yes master?" Pui-Pui asked, crouching down next to his master and bowing his head respectfully.
"I'll give you the pleasure of crushing his life." Babidi said and received a bow from the wide-skulled servant.
"Yes, master…" Pui-Pui flew after Yamu and seconds later a scream and an energy blast was heard before Pui-Pui returned. "It is done."
"Yes, but it seems we have guests…" He turned to Dabura, the demon King, his second and most powerful servant. "Go." He commanded, receiving another bow from the quite demon before he too took off after the intruders. "Come Pui-Pui, Yakon, let us take the egg to a safer spot while Dabura takes care of those fools…" he commanded and had his two other minions lift the large ball and take off with their master.
Dabura flew to the spot where the group of fighters had been hiding and grinned at their surprised faces. "D-Dabura!" Supreme Kai swallowed nervously.
"My, my… my reputation precedes me…" The Demon King sneered and looked at the faces around. "So, you're the pests that have been giving my master a headache…" he chuckled as slapped away Piccolo's attempt to attack, letting the Namek crash into a nearby cliff before falling to the ground motionless, out cold…
"You bastard!" Trunks growled, clutching his hands into tight fists, wanting to wipe that disgusting smile off the demon's ugly face.
"Temper, temper… here, cool off!" Dabura said and sucked in a breath.
"NO! WATCH OUT!" Supreme Kai yelled but he was too late to stop him, Dabura let his breath out and with it spat on Trunks, Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha, and Videl.
"What the hell? Is this some sort of joke? Are you for real? Honestly… spitting on your enemies?" Vegeta cackled mirthfully.
"N-No… what IS this??" Videl tried wiping the spit off her shoulder but instead, it stuck to her hand and began to harden… soon, before she could stop it, it spread all over her body, turning her into stone.
"VIDEL!" Gohan cried, running over.
"STOP!" Kibito suddenly appeared before him and held him back. "If you touch her you will turn into stone as well!" He barked, releasing the distressed man.
Gohan watched in horror as everyone, save for him Vegeta, Kibito, and Supreme Kai were turned to stone by the demon's spit! "You bastard! Turn them back!" Gohan snarled but Dabura just sneered.
"No can do!" Dabura chuckled, waved, and took off into the skies quicker than anyone could see.
"Damnit! This day's sure getting better and better!" Vegeta snapped sarcastically and took off into the direction of Babidi and his minions.
"Come Gohan!" Kibito said as he and his master followed suit. Gohan sighed, took one last look at his friends and wife and followed.
"Where is Vegeta?" Gohan asked as he landed next to Kibito and Supreme Kai. Before them stood Yakon and Pui-Pui; the wind whistled loudly and picked up dust as they stared each other down.
"I'm not sure… Gohan, listen… I know you do not like death and killing but… you must kill them… they will fight you to the death to defend the egg… we must not let it charge and hatch!" Supreme Kai pressed, clutching Gohan's shoulder and giving him a worried expression. Gohan looked down at the Kai and nodded in agreement.
"Alright…" he said and turned to the evil-grinning fiends.
"Looks like we're gunna have us a bit of fun eh Yakon?" Pui-Pui chuckled darkly as he and his comrade approached the tall Saiyan.
"It sure looks that way…" Yakon sneered but before any of them could actually make a move to attack Gohan, said Saiyan has disappeared before their eyes.
"Where did he-uggghhhh…" Gohan reappeared before Yakon, having struck the alien through the heart. Gohan slowly withdrew his fist from Yakon's perforated chest and the alien fell to his knees. Gohan leapt into the air and turned back to the wide-eyed alien.
"Masenkooooo-HA!" Gohan cried and released his signature attack, obliterating his target quickly. Gohan looked up and saw Pui-Pui charging a blast from his rifle, Gohan stood and let the blast come at him and shocked the oddly-shaped alien by actually catching the ball of energy in the palm of his hand and throwing it right back toward it's sender.
"NNOO-" Pui-Pui was too slow to dodge the blast as it struck him between the eyes. Gohan charged another blast of energy of his own and finished the fiend off, lowering his eyes and relaxing slightly.
"Why does it always have to come to death?" Gohan muttered to himself unhappily and looked over to the grim-faced Kibito and Supreme Kai.
"Forgive us for placing this burden on your shoulders Gohan… but that egg must not be allowed to hatch!" Supreme Kai said. Gohan sighed and nodded, walking over to the red, pulsing ball and gritted his teeth.
"Be careful Gohan! Give it everything you've got… You must destroy it before it hatches!" Supreme Kai yelled. Gohan nodded and clenched his fists, staring at the huge ball in great concentration; he got into position and took a deep breath before he let out a battle-cry.
"AHHH!" Gohan yelled as he released his power in a torrent so strong it knocked everything and everyone back as the energy expelled from his body. Gohan's power swelled around him, the light from his body pulsating until he began to transform… however… before he was able to reach his third ascension… something happened, something no one was expecting.
"OH NO!" Supreme Kai and Kibito cried as they watched what they hoped would not come to pass. "Come Kibito, we must free the others from their trap! Gohan can not handle all of this on his own!" Supreme Kai said and he and Kibito flew off to the others.
Before Gohan could even reach his third ascension the egg suddenly snapped open. Gohan stopped his battle-cry, relaxed and looked on at what he thought was a broken egg… unfortunately… all he managed to do, was RELEASE Majin Buu! 'Oh… no… God save us…' Gohan thought as the steam cleared and a huge pink demon stepped from the egg, grinning widely at the distraught Saiyan. Meanwhile, Babidi was staring into Vegeta's confused eyes. Vegeta had confronted him moments earlier while Gohan was busy releasing Buu… Vegeta had intended on destroying Babidi but was caught off guard by the little man's power.
"The evil in your heart… I shall use it… you shall be my servant and there's nothing you can do about it! HAHAHA!!" And true to the evil wizard's words, with a flick on his wrist and concentrated mental powers Vegeta howled and fell to his knees, clawing away ad his head as his mind was taken over - dominated. "Don't try to resist!" Babidi laughed; his mirth was cut short when Gohan landed face first into the dirt nearby.
"Ugh…" Gohan got to his feat unsteadily as the pink demon that had back-handed him landed next to his master and… Vegeta? "V-Vegeta?" Gohan asked wide-eyed and gasped when Vegeta turned and displayed the curvy M on his forehead… the same mark that was on ever servant of Babidi's. 'Oh crap…' he thought and stood on the defensive as Vegeta sneered evilly at him.
"Though I would much rather kill your dead-beat father …you will do nicely as well…" Vegeta said and cracked his knuckles. "Prepare to die brat." He growled. Gohan frowned and narrowed his eyes.
"Keep wishing Vegeta…" He said. 'Damn… I used too much energy before… I need to res-' but before Gohan could finish his thought Vegeta was on him, smashing his fists into his gut greedily. 'Damnit! Caught off… guard…' Gohan rammed his knee into Vegeta's face, not giving him a chance to recover as he barreled into him seconds after getting off the ground.
"What is this, Vegeta, I did not say you could fight the pest, come to me!" Babidi ordered but to Babidi's surprise, however, Majin Vegeta sneered at his master.
"I will do no such thing. I am quite happy killing this whelp off." Vegeta snapped, proving to be completely disobedient.
"WHAT? …Well… fine, go ahead then, he was beginning to grate on my nerves anyway." Babidi huffed, disappointed and slightly worried that his power was not strong enough to totally have Vegeta under his control. Vegeta grinned and charged at Gohan again, taking advantage of Gohan's surprise and fatigue to catch him off guard and land a kick across his face, sending him skidding a couple feet.
"How does it feel for you to get knocked off your feet!" Vegeta snarled, flying at him with more punches and kicks, not giving Gohan the chance to recover. Gohan grunted with surprising effort and kicked Vegeta off him, getting to his feet and dodging more blows.
"Vegeta! You have to fight this!" Gohan yelled, trying to turn Vegeta back to the little good he still harbored in his hardened heart.
"NO YOU FOOL!" Babidi cried as Vegeta powered up, destroying Babidi's underground spaceship in the process as everything was blown away from Vegeta's power. When Vegeta finished powering up he smirked at Babidi and then at Gohan before going after the younger Saiyan once more.
Meanwhile, one by one Kibito and Supreme Kai used their powers to restore all those who had been turned to stone by Dabura. "Gohan! Where is he? Is he okay?" Videl asked after being restored.
"He…" Supreme Kai sighed and decided covering up the truth was not the best idea at the moment. "Gohan accidentally released Majin Buu… my guess is he's about to fight the demon himself…"
"Oh no!" Yamcha cried.
"Gohan…" Tien clenched his fists, fearing for the worst.
"Come on! Let's go help!" Krillin said, taking off. For once in his life, Krillin would meet death and terror head on without a complaint.
The fight between Majin Vegeta and Gohan was halted momentarily as the Demon King Dabura flew back and landed on his knees next to his master. "What is this joke?" Vegeta snarled. Gohan watched uneasily, something was terribly wrong…
"Please master! You must seal Majin Buu! He will be the death of us all!" Dabura yelled. Babidi frowned and motioned for Buu to strike the demon king. Dabura's eyes widened when a fist collided with his stomach, knocking him to the ground instantly.
"Good job Majin Buu… yes, your power is quite awesome." Babidi complimented, Buu smiled at his master. "Kill him; I have no more use for him." Babidi said nonchalantly. Dabura's eyes widened but his scream was cut off as Buu suddenly appeared before him and severed his throat instantly… and then turned the demon into a chocolate and ate him.
"Mmm! Chocolate!" Majin Buu said and patted his huge stomach.
"Good, now, Vegeta, finish him off!" Babidi commanded. Vegeta turned to Gohan and smirked.
"Well you heard "the boss" now, die!" Vegeta went after Gohan but by then Gohan had recovered from his fatigue from using too much power at once and dodged each blow Vegeta threw at him. With one well placed punch Gohan managed to successfully knock the older Saiyan out, even if Vegeta was powered up to his second ascension.
After Gohan made sure that he didn't accidentally kill the Saiyan Prince he turned and smirked at a furious Babidi. "HOW DARE YOU!" Babidi screamed and motioned his last servant to fight him… Majin Buu… Gohan stood his ground as the pink, balloon like creature waddled over to him smiling sickly-sweet.
"Buu gunna have fun!" Buu said in a cheery voice.
"Gohan!" Krillin cried in terror, fearing greatly for his friend's life while the others watched on in horror. Gohan swallowed hard, something didn't sit well with this creature… even though Gohan had become incredibly powerful something seemed… impossible about this fiend before him… it seemed to him that not even powering up to his maximum would do too much damage to him… did the universe have a chance? He would soon find out…
