Chapter 28: The End of Baby Part 1

"Did I do all this?" Goku quietly asked his friends as he grimly looked around the heavily damaged Tuffle city.

"Grandpa," Chibi Pan said in disbelief. "Don't you remember what happened?! You turned into a giant gorilla and started smashing up everything around you, even ME!" she added indignantly crossing her arms across her chest.

"Let's just be thankful that I didn't have to step in," Hercule said boastfully while still holding Takara in his arms. "If I weren't on babysitting duty, I'd knock that Baby back into the stone age for you!"

Hearing Hercule say this Takara looked at the 'great champion' in utter confusion, for he certainly hadn't been this confidant a little while ago when Baby was beating Goku to a pulp.

"Dad," Galina asked her father deeply worried for him because of all the damage he had caused. "Do you think you'll get back to your normal self?"

"Well Galina," Goku said quietly as he calmly walked away and looked at his new reflection in a nearby smashed window. "This body and its amazing powers are necessary right now. For it's the ONLY way to defeat Baby!"

"Yeah you tell it like it is Goku!" Hercule said to Goku with newly restored confidence. "You'll turn Baby into mush for sure!"

"That's right Grandpa!" Chibi Pan said coming to Hercule's support. "Tell him he can't mess with our families anymore!"

"Then," Goku said with a smirk. "That's exactly what I'll do!"

"Be careful Dad," Galina cautioned her father.

"Yeah, good luck to you Mr Goku!" Kei said with quiet respect.

"Don't worry I will be," Goku reassured everyone. "I know where Baby is hiding right now and if things go smoothly, Earth and her people will be back to normal by the end of the day." He turned to Trunks, "Trunks take care of Galina and Takara for me. Hercule," he said turning to the 'world champ'. "Keep an eye on Pan and Kei; make sure those two don't get into any trouble."

"Of course," Hercule said confidently and also secretly relieved that Goku didn't want him to go with him and battle Baby. "No problem!"

Hearing this Goku gave a friendly wave and then the mighty saiyan flew off in the exact direction where Baby was concealing himself.

---------------------------------

Meanwhile in his base, where he'd been hiding from Goku the moment he had gone on the rampage as a giant ape, Baby was glaring at a monitor which showed Earth the trigger of Goku's transformation.

"This is absurd!" Baby roared angrily to himself. "I don't understand how Goku was able to convert the energy from the Earth! I NEED an answer on this! It doesn't make any sense!" He yelled to the still possessed Bulma who was working on a computer terminal nearby. She was replaying Goku's transformation into the giant golden ape and all the terrible power it had brought for analysis. Watching the transformation sequence again only irritated Baby further, because it reminded him of his humiliating retreat. "If Goku can do that, why can't I replicate it?!" he demanded to know furiously.

"It IS puzzling," Bulma said calmly typing away on her computer trying to find an answer to her master's dilemma. "The blots waves he received have only been recorded from the moon."

"I KNOW that already!" Baby yelled back irritability. "What I need to find out is WHY it didn't affect ME the same way! Why didn't it affect Vegeta?!" Baby mused quietly to himself. "I need an immediate answer to my question!" he raved.

"I believe that is because Vegeta does not have a tail," Bulma answered her master as truthfully as she could.

"Of course!" Baby scowled in sudden understanding. "These putrid saiyans and their tails!" he broke off as he suddenly sensed Goku's immense power level approaching their location. "He's coming…!" He whispered fearfully to himself. "I want a solution to this in MINUTES not HOURS!" Baby ordered Bulma urgently. "Do you understand? And you had better not FAIL!" he added threateningly.

"Yes Baby…" Bulma said slowly realizing her life was now on the line.

The moment Bulma had finished saying this Goku broke through the wall of Baby's base standing tall and ready to fight.

"It seems that I found you Baby," Goku smirked.

"Really?" Baby replied mockingly. "Was the gorilla too much for you to control?"

"Yeah, this is just another costume change for the 'weakling' saiyan!" Goku answered back releasing a powerful stock of energy waves as he powered himself up. These actions caused the computer that Bulma had been working with, to short circuit and explode. She gave a cry of alarm and jumped out of the way just in time.

"Bulma!" Goku called out worried for the woman's safety.

Bulma turned towards her so called 'friend' and glared at him. "Don't call me that!" she snapped back hatefully. "And don't act like you know me saiyan! You're my enemy and NOTHING more!" She then gave Goku a VERY evil smile, "And very soon your DEATH will be at hand!"

Goku glared at Baby furious that he was able to turn his old childhood friend against him. "Baby!" he said in a voice as black as thunder. "I will NEVER forgive you for this!"

"Tell someone who gives a shit you FOOL!" Baby spat carelessly back to his opponent. "I wouldn't be caught DEAD asking for YOUR forgiveness ANYWAY!"

The two powerful beings flew outside and were soon fighting viciously. Goku and Baby were evenly matched, but Goku's new power should've finished the mutated Tuffle off a long time ago. It seemed as though the mighty saiyan was holding back for some reason. For a moment Goku actually allowed Baby to thrash him, it didn't hurt him but it was amusing him which really ticked Baby off.

"Sorry about that," Goku apologized to Baby with a light chuckle. "I'm just surprised that's all. Surprised at how strong I've become," he added while wiping the blood off his lip.

"What do you mean?!" Baby asked completely flabbergasted.

"Your punches only tickle," Goku mockingly answered. "Like a tiny feather."

Hearing this mocking statement enraged the Tuffle leader to no end. "How DARE you say that?!" Baby screamed furiously and then smashed Goku into the ground. "You WILL learn respect!" he shouted down after the mighty saiyan creating another dark death ball and throwing it at him.

Goku didn't move, he just stood there waiting for the giant dark energy ball to come to him. The dark ball of energy consumed the mighty saiyan and then exploded. Once all the smoke and dust cleared, it revealed that Goku was standing on one single pillar of rock staring up at the mighty and enraged Tuffle. Baby's attack had destroyed everything BUT Goku and the ground he had been standing on!

"That's IMPOSSIBLE!" Baby screamed now REALLY frustrated. "That attack should've reduced him to ashes and it did NOTHING!"

"Baby!" Goku said sternly to his opponent. "You can NEVER defeat me!"

"No!" Baby growled defiantly.

"My powers have far surpassed yours Tuffle and you know it!" the pure hearted saiyan told him.

"DIE SAIYAN!" Baby screamed firing energy blasts at Goku. But the blasts did nothing serious; the Tuffle's anger was getting the better of him which made him less focused.

"Listen Baby," Goku said sternly as the crazed Tuffle continued to fire off energy blasts that weren't hurting him at all. "I cannot allow you to get away with the trauma you've caused to innocent people. You have to deal with me now!" As Goku said this he powered up with amazing speed then charged at Baby, punching him in the stomach which caused the mighty Tuffle to gasp out in astonished pain. Goku then blasted Baby away from him causing him to go crashing to the ground like a falling star.

Goku landed near where Baby had fallen and calmly walked over to the semi-beaten parasite.

Despite his condition Baby couldn't help but let out a small laugh as he got up from the ground. "It's fitting that for a neurotic sayian," he laughed. "That your ignorance is showing again. Who do you think you're fighting here? It's certainly not your enemy! This is your friend's Vegeta's body!" he told Goku hoping that it might make the mighty saiyan stop. "So you can keep attacking Goku, but all you'll be doing is killing your friend."

"That's funny," Goku smirked. "I fought Vegeta and this is NO way near his breaking point."

"So you understand his limits?" Baby replied with a sudden smirk. "That's perfect; we'll just push this fight along until we've reached that breaking point!"

"You think you know the saiyans inside and out," Goku said grimly to Baby. "But the fact is your knowledge is dangerously lacking. What you don't realize is, the longer a saiyan continues to fight, the stronger he becomes."

"Huh!" Baby sneered unimpressed by Goku's speech. "Your warrior race…is sickening!" Baby turned and fired a blast at Goku who easily swatted it away.

"I'm sick of playing games Baby!" Goku yelled blasting the Tuffle away from him.

Baby retaliated by flying away in the air for safety. 'This CAN'T be the limit of my powers!' he thought despairingly to himself.

'Lord Baby, pull yourself together!' Bulma communicated to her Master from inside the base where she had been monitoring Baby's movements.

"Bulma…?" Baby asked in confusion as he heard her voice.

"You can't allow that saiyan to beat you!" Bulma encouraged Baby. "Not now! We've almost completed your plans of galactic development and we're just weeks away from changing the galaxy into Tuffles! Plus," she added proudly. "I've solved your gorilla problem. I've found a way to focus the blitz waves."

"Well it's about time!" Baby replied in irritated relief. "Now how about seeing some results?"

"Just look over to the tower my lord," Bulma instructed her master. The mutant Tuffle looked over to the tower and noticed several satellite dishes emerging surrounding his tower's base.

"This is the blitz wave amplifier!" Bulma told him grandly.

"The blitz wave what?" Baby said in confusion.

"Amplifier," Bulma explained "The moon's blitz waves reflected off the Earth will increase by 1,000% and be transferred to you when it's activated. That will give us the power needed to increase your strength to surpass the saiyan without having for you to grow a tail."

"That's fine," Baby replied worriedly. "But will I be able to control my own actions under that power? I don't want to demolish my own planet! I just want to kill the saiyan!"

"Heads up Baby!" Goku suddenly yelled powering up a Kamehameha attack.

Baby watched on in horror and what looked like fear as Goku got ready to fire his signature attack.

"Now!" Bulma yelled and she activated her blitz wave amplifier. The machine released a brilliant beam of white light directly at Baby who was more than happy to receive the beam. Goku watched on in horror as he witnessed Baby transform into a giant gold gorilla, just like he had when he stared at the Earth, thinking that it was the moon.

The Baby gorilla roared on in triumph since Bulma's plan had worked so well.

"We did it Lord Baby! " Bulma cried in delight. "It worked! Now go destroy that saiyan and don't stop until he's DEAD!"

However, it was very clear that Baby was way too out of control! The Tuffle gorilla began destroying EVERYTHING on his precious planet, not caring WHO or WHAT got in the way.

Future Trunks, Galina, Takara, Chibi Pan, Kei and Hercule who were watching Goku's fight with Baby at what they hoped was a 'safe' distance gaped in horror at Baby's sudden 'ape' transformation.

"Oh no!" Chibi Pan exclaimed in dismay. "Not another giant gorilla!"

"It's not safe here now guys," Hercule said clearly terrified at what was happening. "Let's get out of here while we still can!"

Meanwhile Baby continued to roar in anger destroying everything in his path. He then swatted Goku into his destroyed Tuffle city as if the mighty saiyan were nothing more but a mere fly.

"You won't get away with this Baby!" Goku called out defiantly to his powered up opponent.

Baby didn't hear Goku's words at all. With Vegeta's possessed body in its gorilla form, the mighty Tuffle was COMPLETLY out of control. He was destroying his precious city that he sought so hard to achieve with ALL of Vegeta's borrowed attacks.

"He's losing control," Goku muttered quietly to himself as he watched Baby's rampage. "AND lost site of his objective," he added as he watched all the possessed people Baby had brought from Earth run for their lives from the city.

Inside the tower Bulma was monitoring Baby's movements with mounting horror. "H-He's gone mad!" she stammered in horrified disbelief. "He's not in control of himself anymore!" She quickly tried her radio link, "Lord Baby!" she cried urgently trying to reason with the giant gorilla Tuffle. "You have to stop this! Can you even understand anything I'm saying?!" Suddenly all the monitors and computers shut down due to the effects of Baby's destructive rampage, this made Bulma VERY uneasy. Abandoning her instruments Bulma quickly ran out of the tower and yelled "BABY! STOP IT!" in a frantic attempt to make her leader stop blasting everything in sight. But to her dismay all her cries fell on large deaf ears.

Meanwhile not far from the rampaging Baby, Future Trunks, Galina, Takara Chibi Pan, Kei, and Hercule were trying to find a way to help Goku.

"Come on Grandpa Hercule," Chibi Pan called to her grandfather as the world 'champ' almost fell off a small cliff they were climbing. "Get a move on!"

Suddenly they all heard the loud destructive footsteps of Baby slowly approaching them! This caused Hercule to scuttle up the cliff to join his friends and family VERY fast indeed!

"He's coming!" Kei cried in panic.

The giant ape suddenly appeared, for a moment he stared at his tiny opponents and then spat out a HUGE breath of fire at them.

"I don't wanna be a crispy critter!" Hercule panicked causing him to drop Takara in the process.

"Move!" Galina yelled as Baby fired away at them.

Within seconds of saying this, the fighters took to the sky JUST barely getting away from Baby's wrath. Galina then flew towards her falling daughter and caught her before she hit the ground.

"We HAVE to fight back!" Trunks said fiercely.

Galina, Trunks, Chibi Pan and Kei fired a combined energy blast at Baby; unfortunately the joint attack did absolutely nothing to hurt the berserk mutant.

"What?!" Chibi Pan exclaimed in horror. "It didn't even scratch him!"

Before the large Tuffle gorilla could retaliate from his opponents attack, he suddenly felt an annoying tap on his shoulder. Turning around he saw it was Goku, who then promptly PUNCHED Baby right between the eyes causing the mighty ape to stagger back in pain. "Your fight is with me remember?" he said sternly to his large opponent. "I hope you have enough energy left for a good one!" Goku then proceeded to drop kick the injured Baby into the ground, who went skidding along the ground taking everything down around him. Now that he had a brief moment alone Goku smiled at his relieved family. "You guys are holding up pretty well I see," he said thoughtfully.

"Grandpa Goku!" Chibi Pan cried happily and hugged him in relief.

Seeing Goku back again, little Takara happily giggled in her mother's arms.

"I think someone else is also happy to see you too Dad," Galina said to her father with a smile.

"What's going to happen to Baby now?" Chibi Pan asked quickly getting back on subject. "He's gotten so big he could destroy us all with a single attack!"

"He has gotten big," Goku admitted. "But with my strength at this level I doubt he'll be able to do THAT much damage. His power is pretty great, but in the end his rage will be his downfall. He could never understand how to control a saiyan's abilities."

As Goku finished saying this there was an angry growl from Baby as he got up from the ground leaving a giant crater behind in his wake.

"The only way we're ever going to put an end to this," Goku told the assembled fighters. "Is if we take Baby to another planet using my instant transmission technique."

"But…Dad," Galina protested. "To do that you'd have to get really close to him!"

"Yeah," Trunks said worriedly. "Do you think you'll be able to do that?"

"It shouldn't be a problem," Goku smirked. "I'm feeling rather….confident," he then flew towards Baby formulating a plan as he did so.

"Make sure it's a planet where no one lives!" Pan called out to her grandfather.

"Of course!" the mighty saiyan replied to Pan's remark as he flew towards Baby. "But I can't be sure the planet we arrive at won't increase his powers or something," he mused to himself. "That's it!" he said suddenly snapping his fingers. "I can take Baby to the Other World where Kibito Kai and Old Kai can figure out what I can do with him! They're gonna LOVE this plan!"

----------------------

Meanwhile on the sacred planet of the Kai's, Kibito Kai, Old Kai and the two Lemurs had been monitoring Goku's battle with Baby the entire time through the crystal ball. They had heard everything that had been said during the battle too, so when the heard Goku's plan to transport the gorilla Baby to where they were Old Kai gave a panicked scream backing away in terror.

"Here drink this," Sugoru said gently handing Old Kai a glass of water to calm him down.

After calmly drinking the water, Old Kai gave out another dreadful panicky scream. "I can't work with THAT!" he yelled looking at the gorilla Baby's image on the crystal ball in horror. "He's much too big! I can't even THINK under this kind of pressure!"

"So…" Kibito Kai said thoughtfully. "Instead of throwing a tantrum, shouldn't we be trying to come up with a plan or something?"

Old Kai grabbed his descendant by the collar of his shirt and shook him furiously. "DOES THAT SMART MOUTH OF YOURS HAVE ANY IDEA ON HOW TO GET US OUT OF THIS!?" He demanded angrily.

"Uh…well…" Kibito Kai replied hesitantly. "We could hide and not answer when they get here."

Old Kai let go of his descendant pondering the pathetic attempt at a plan. "Fine then," he agreed at last. "I'll hide first!"

------------------------

Back on the Tuffle planet, Goku was busy flying around dodging Baby's breath of fire. When he stopped to take a breather Goku flew near the mighty gorilla and landed on his shoulder all ready to use his instant transmission technique.

'I can sense Old Kai knows I'm coming.' Goku thought to himself. He held onto the Baby gorilla all ready to teleport the two of them away; however the mighty Tuffle gorilla did not allow this to happen. Since Goku was so close to him, it was much easier for Baby to attack the pure hearted saiyan head on. Baby fired off a small energy blast with his finger which caused Goku to retreat just barely missing the blast by inches.

"What's he doing?!" Goku exclaimed in frustration. To his horror he saw that the Baby gorilla had flown up into the air and created another giant dark ball of energy.

"Dark Death Ball!" the gorilla roared furiously. The giant Tuffle then threw the gigantic ball of energy at his saiyan opponent. Much to Goku's displeasure the dark ball of energy forced him to go crashing into the ground which then exploded right on top of him.

Pleased with his minor victory, the giant Baby gorilla floated in the air laughing manically.

Goku stood up unharmed and stared at the giant gorilla in confusion. "How is that you…spoke to me just now?" he asked in amazement.

'You Saiyan's just don't learn do you?!' Baby's telepathic voice said scornfully from the Tuffle gorilla's mind. 'Haven't you followed ANYTHING?!'

"But…you're not moving your mouth!" Goku stammered trying desperately to understand.

'So you CAN pay attention after all!' Baby smirked.

"Baby!" Goku yelled back at the gorilla. "Where ever you are you better show yourself! Our fight's not over!"

'Oh please,' Baby sneered while pointing to the large gorilla's head. 'Try to use what LITTLE brain you have left! VEGETA transformed into the gorilla!' he explained. 'I did NOT! I am the parasite, I control HIM and am NOT limited to just his body, I can use his feeble saiyan mind if I so desire to connect it directly to yours!'

Hearing this unsettling news, Goku just laughed. "So," he said slowly. "If you're the puppet master, then why did the gorilla go on a rampage and kill all your Tuffle people?"

'Part of me did it for the fun!' Baby replied casually. 'The other part wanted to know what it felt like to be you, Goku.'

"I would never knowingly harm the innocent!" Goku heroically stated. "You murderer!" The saiyan flew up towards the Tuffle gorilla ready to fight him again. Unfortunately for Goku, Baby saw him coming and he calmly swatted the super saiyan 4 into his precious city with a mere flick of his hand.

'I'm not such a bad puppet master now am I?' Baby said with a mocking laugh.

Goku flew back at Baby with full force only to receive a harsh punch in the stomach.

'You're LOSING it!" Baby roared in triumph as he attacked Goku left and right. 'You're not so sure you can beat me anymore, are you!? You've got doubt and fear ruling your thoughts right now and it's quickly becoming a reality to you that your life is almost over!'

"Your over confidence will be your undoing!" Goku yelled back defiantly.

'Then prove me wrong!' Baby told him.

The two mighty warriors began fighting again, showing no mercy to each other or anything near them.

-----------------------------

Back on the Kai planet, Old Kai, Kibito Kai and the Lemurs came out of their hiding places and began monitoring Goku's fight again.

"We can be sure Goku is faster than Baby, right?" Kibito Kai asked his ancestor.

"Yes," Old Kai answered slowly. "But in terms of actual strength the balance is not so easily seen. This battle could swing either way."

"Well at least we'll have good seats for the fight," Sugoru said thoughtfully.

--------------------------------

Back on the Tuffle planet, the Tuffle gorilla had gotten a hold of Goku in his large hands and was now squeezing him like a ketchup bottle.

'I could squeeze you until your bones shatter!' Baby said gloatingly.

"You ALWAYS talk about what you COULD do!" Goku replied scornfully. "Why don't you give it shot!?" he challenged and then powered up.

The more Baby tried to squeeze Goku as he did that, the more Goku powered up. He soon powered up enough energy to break free from the mighty gorilla's grasp, then grabbed the large gorilla' hand running up his back and then threw him into the ground with full force. This caused the giant Tuffle gorilla to go crashing into large heap.

Getting more furious by the second the Baby gorilla got back on his feet. 'He shouldn't have been able to do THAT!' Baby thought angrily to himself.

"And you shouldn't underestimate your opponent," Goku replied smugly.

Hearing this only enraged the mighty gorilla further. He then began shooting at what was left at his city and the remaining civilians of the Tuffle planet.

'Uh-oh this looks bad!' Goku thought to himself. 'I think I pushed him a little too hard, he's aiming for the people!' Goku tried desperately to stop this psychotic attack of Baby's; he used instant transmission to teleport onto Baby's hand and glared hatefully up at the possessed gorilla. "Why are you taking it out the people when I'm right here!?"

'So you can know how much I HATE YOU, you WORTHLESS slime!' Baby spat out. He then noticed, thanks to his 'borrowed' saiyan vision, CHI-CHI and VIDEL in the rubble in direct range of an attack! 'Take a look at your family,' he said to Goku. 'And I'll PROVE it to you!' he then fired an energy blast straight at them.

"What?! You can't do that!" Goku yelled and then flew towards Chi-Chi and Videl at top speed hoping he could save them in time.

"MOM, VIDEL!" Galina screamed seeing the blast engulf the area they were in.

"Momma…" Pan shrieked holding onto Kei for dear life.

To everyone's relief they saw Goku fly over towards them with an unconscious Chi-Chi and Videl in his arms. He gently dropped them to ground.

"Take care of them for me guys," Goku told his family. He then glared at Baby with hatred in his eyes. "I can't do THIS anymore! I can't take it!" He then flew back towards the Tuffle gorilla.

"You're playing a dirty game here, Baby!" Goku growled when he was within talking range of his enemy.

'Well no one ever presented me with a rule book on taking over the galaxy!' Baby joked. 'But I think I'm doing quite well, considering that I'M winning!'

The gorilla Tuffle smirked and then powered a VERY old, yet familiar technique, which Vegeta hadn't used in YEARS! It was his iconic Galic Gun attack. The same attack used when he and Goku had their first fight on Earth together. The Tuffle gorilla fired the mighty beam, not at Goku but towards the EARTH!

"No! Not the Earth!" Goku yelled and powered his famous Kamehameha attack. "No!" he cried in despair as he fired his attack off. "It's not going to make it time!"

---------------------------

On Earth, the still possessed people left behind were going about their mundane lives. From a nearby shopping centre Krillin and his family emerged, after failing to get his wife and daughter transport to the new Tuffle Planet, the possessed Z-fighter had offered to take his family shopping to make up for his mistake.

"Please tell me this is the last stop for the day," Krillin wearily asked 18 and Marron since he was carrying well over his height in boxes and shopping bags.

"We need supplies!" Marron told her father firmly. "When they call us to the Tuffle planet and I get to see Shooter again I want to be ready Dad!"

Suddenly Baby and Goku's blasts hit the Earth, causing the ground to shake and a huge gust of wind which blew everyone and everything off their feet.

"What's happening, Dad?!" Marron asked her father in terror.

"I'm not sure." Krillin answered back equally terrified.

---------------------

"Just what do you think you're doing?!" Goku asked Baby as he flew right in front of him.

'What am I doing?' the Tuffle gorilla laughed mockingly. 'Anything I can to see the confused, horrified look on your face!'

"It's not about me it's about the people of Earth," Goku told the deranged mutant. "They may be your followers, but it's my job to save them from their leader!"

The heroic saiyan powered up two small balls of energy and then combined into one. "Now LAUGH at this!" He said firing a powerful Kamehameha attack at the giant gorilla.

The Tuffle gorilla was engulfed in the blinding white light of energy, the light was SO bright and blinding NO ONE could see what was going on.

'I'm sorry Vegeta,' Goku thought to himself realizing that Vegeta would be killed during this attack. 'I had to sacrifice your body, but it was the survival for Earth and its people!' "Please I hope you can forgive me," Goku went on out loud. "I did the best I could…old friend…"

When the smoke and light finally cleared Goku and everyone else were astonished to suddenly hear the Tuffle gorilla's laugh.

"It can't be!" Goku said stunned seeing the gorilla face to face again and completely unhurt.

The mighty Tuffle gorilla just continued to laugh at how shocked Goku was. 'Well YOUR best just wasn't GOOD enough! 'Old friend!' Baby mocked evilly.

"Impossible…" Goku stammered. "How could he withstand THAT?!"

'Now it's MY turn!' Baby said as he powered up another Galic Gun attack. 'You can get out of the way of this blast if you want to, but first take a look at what's behind you! From what I can tell only one more hit at full strength and that PRECIOUS planet of yours will be BLOWN to bits!'

"And you're willing to sink that low, Baby?!" Goku challenged.

The Tuffle gorilla just laughed and fired his attack towards Goku and the Earth.

'If I get out of the way, the Earth is doomed!' Goku thought to himself. He had no choice but to fight back! "Baby you have NOT seen the last of me!" Goku declared and was about to fire off his Kamehameha wave when Baby's Galic Gun attack blasted Goku head on.

"Dad!" Galina screamed as she saw her father plummet to the ground with a huge crash.

"If Grandpa can't beat that over sized gorilla, how can we?!" Chibi Pan cried in despair.

'Ha!' Baby laughed to himself as he prepared to launch another attack on the apparently unconscious Goku. 'If that's all he's got then that putrid monkey will be done for in no time!'

In the rubble of the Tuffle city all the people who were still under Baby's control, started shouting out support for their leader despite all the chaos and destruction he had caused fighting Goku.

"Baby!" they all chanted over and over again. "Finish that saiyan once and for all! Baby! Finish that saiyan once and for all!"

"Lord Baby!" Bulma called from the tower. "Rip his head off while you're at it!"

"I don't BELIEVE this!" Kei said to himself in disbelief. "Those people are cheering Baby even AFTER he tried to kill them?! That's nuts!"

A similar thought was running through Goku's mind as he lay on the ground pretending to be unconscious. He didn't move, he just laid there listening to Baby charge up his attack and the people chanting waiting for the right moment. 'Come on already!' he thought impatiently to himself. 'Those Kamehameha waves should have kicked in by now!'

'Your time has come saiyan!' Baby roared in triumph as he prepared to fire his attack at long last. 'Any last words you'd like to share?'

Suddenly a whole lot of energy bolts exploded from the Baby gorilla's body hitting several parts of the city and exploding as they did so. 'NOOOOOOOOOOO!' Baby screamed as he lost control of himself and went crashing down in a heap by the base of his tower causing his followers to scatter like startled birds.

"What the heck happened there?" Hercule asked Trunks, Galina and the others in astonishment.

"I don't know," Galina answered slowly. "It looked to me like Baby was attacked."

"But WHERE did the attack come from?" Pan demanded to know.

It was a question that Baby was also wondering about as he lay down getting his wits together. 'Who in the world could have attacked me?' the mutated Tuffle asked himself in wonderment. 'It COULDN'T have been the saiyan! He was laying face down in the dirt the whole time! Unless…of course! That huge Kamehameha attack he used on me before…grrr…It figures he would have a DELAYED attack!'

With that mystery solved Baby slowly picked himself back up just as Goku floated back into his vision. "Looks like you weren't expecting that were you Baby?" he said mockingly to his opponent. "You should try and be more perspective."

'The only thing I'm going to do is KILL you as quickly and as PAINFULLY as possible!' Baby replied furiously. 'So let's cut to the chase and do what we came here to DO!'

"You know," Goku said casually. "I've heard enough. You're having trouble standing on your own two feet much less fighting me!"

'You're hallucinating then!' Baby roared coming forward ready to grab Goku in both his hands. 'There's enough fight in this body to last me for WEEKS on end!'

"You think so? Try me!"

Baby gave an angry roar and made an attempt to grab Goku, but the mighty saiyan just vanished and reappeared next to the giant gorilla and punched him in the side of the face. This attack was so powerful if caused Baby to fall over, however as he did so he managed to smack Goku into the ground causing them BOTH to go falling into the ground out cold.

--------------------------------

"I can't believe they knocked each other out ancestor," Kibito Kai said to Elder Kai as they and the Lemurs continued to watch on the crystal ball from the safety of the Kai planet. "I mean what an amazing fight so far!"

"Ok!" Old Kai said eagerly to his friends as they continued to inspect the battle. "Now's our chance!"

"What exactly do you have in mind?" Kibito Kai asked his ancestor curiously.

"Listen up," Old Kai answered briefly. "It's very important that you focus right now."

"Yes," Kibito Kai said eagerly. "Because focusing is the key in channeling the energy to revive Goku's power!"

"Don't be an idiot!" Old Kai said dismissively. "You don't nearly have enough power to revive Goku since he's a super saiyan 4! You would need to match his power to even attempt it!"

"But…" Kibito Kai protested.

"Why don't you start by reviving one of the others first," Old Kai suggested. "Like Sai, Chibi Trunks, or Gohan?"

"What in the world are you talking about!?" Kabito Kai said in astonishment. "Don't you know? They've all been taken over by Baby, reviving them would only be helping the enemy! That doesn't make sense!"

"That's why you'll need the Sacred Water." Old Kai said glancing over his shoulder.

"Sacred Water…that's right!" Kibito Kai exclaimed finally understanding Old Kai's plan. "The Sacred Water at the lookout! Why didn't I think of that earlier?"

"Well if it's a secret then how do you know about it?" Sugoru asked in puzzlement.

"No silly," Kibito Kai said patiently. "Not Secret Water Sacred Water. Scared Water is a legendary liquid with enormous healing powers," he explained to the Lemurs. "When splashed on a person it purifies and removes all toxins from the body."

"Oh okay," Sugoru said in understanding. "I promise I won't tell anyone."

"That's great," Kibito Kai smiled. "And I vow to do whatever it takes to obtain the Sacred Water and begin soaking every infected being with it's healing power."

"THEN WHY DON'T YOU FETCH SOME MISTER KNOW-IT-ALL?!" Old Kai yelled furiously.

"Yes, yes, of course!" Kibito Kai said hastily. "I'll be back right away, wish me luck!" With that the Supreme Kai used his instant transmission to teleport to Kami's lookout.

---------------------------

At the lookout the still possessed Mr. Popo was all alone busy sweeping away at the flagstones. The possessed genie was so wrapped up in his work he failed to notice Kibito Kai appear right behind him and hide in a nearby bush.

'Whoa that was close call,' Kibito Kai thought quietly to himself as he peered out of his bush. 'It looks like Mr. Popo and Dende are still under Baby's control, I need to be extremely careful!' As quietly as possible the Supreme Kai quickly headed towards Kami's old throne room being VERY careful not to alert Dende or Popo of his intentions. When Kibito Kai finally reached the throne room he was delighted to find several large grey barrels of Scared Water nearby. "Eureka!" he said to himself in delight. "There's enough here to cure everyone."

"Why are you sneaking around here like some kind of cat burglar, Kibito Kai?" Dende's voice said from behind the noble Kai. "Are you going against Baby's wishes by using the Scared Water? Because those who try such foolish things meet with a grim fate!"

Kibito Kai jumped around in alarm. He had been so busy looking for the Scared Water he had failed to notice Dende and Mr. Popo float up quietly behind him. "Uh well you see…." he began to stammer.

"Even though you're a Kai," Dende said threateningly. "We cannot allow this to go any further, prepare to defend yourself!"

The possessed guardian of Earth and his loyal servant flew at Kibito Kai. The noble Kai dodged out of the way and tried using some of the barrels of water that were around him, but for some reason it wasn't working at all. Not wanting to fight Kibito Kai ran for his life but soon found himself trapped in a corner like a helpless mouse.

"End of the line Kibito Kai," Dende said evilly moving forward to attack.

In desperation Kibito Kai grabbed the nearest weapon he could find, which was a small fancy bottle of water and threw the contents at Mr. Popo who happened to be the nearest to him. The result was extraordinary. The possessed genie cringed in pain and black smoke escaped from his body and was suddenly healed from Baby's infection.

"This must be the Sacred Water," Kibito Kai said to himself in relief as he continued to hold the bottle in his hand.

"Popo?!" Dende cried out in worry for his servant's well being. "What's happening to you?!" But before the guardian of the Earth could make another move, Kibito Kai threw the sacred water into Dende's mouth, also freeing the Namek from Baby's control.

"Don't worry guys," Kabito Kai told his friends as they withered in pain and black smoke escaped from their bodies. "This is for your own good, trust me!"

"Oooh…what happened?" Mr. Popo asked in confusion as Baby's infection finally wore off.

"Hey!" Kibito Kai smiled. "You're back to normal!"

"Kibito Kai?" Dende asked his visitor equally confused as Popo was. "Why are you here?"

"Ok I found the Sacred Water," Kibito Kai said to himself ignoring the young Namek's question. "Now I need to find the others," he went on making sure to put the lid back on the Scared Water bottle real tight. "Chibi Trunks and Sal are the closest, I better move fast!" With that said the Supreme Kai used his instant transmission to teleport to the Tuffle planet and help the possessed people of Earth.

"Are you as lost as I am?" Mr. Popo slowly asked his master.

"Yeah…" Dende replied just as confused.

-----------------------------

Meanwhile on the Tuffle planet, Goku and Baby were STILL lying unconscious on the ground where they had fallen. Not far away Kibito Kai blinked into existence and started giving the sacred water to Chibi Trunks and Sal to drink, once done he then headed off to find the rest of the saiyan family and Sai.

While this was going on, Bulma was inside the Tuffle base where she had just woken up from Baby's onslaught earlier before. She staggered towards the controls and noticed one of the monitors was still working. She gasped in horror seeing her ape-master on the ground apparently unconscious.

"Oh no! Lord Baby!" She yelled and immediately began working on a way to revive the unconscious gorilla. "The only way to revive him is with the blitz wave amplifier!" Bulma said to herself as she frantically typed away at her computer. "I just hope it works as well as last time! It HAS too!" she cried urgently as she re-activated the blitz wave amplifier. "The antennas are in place," she noted. "We're ready to go! This is your last chance Lord Baby!" she said to the unconscious gorilla on the monitor. "Now stand up!" she ordered. "This might be the last time I'll be able to get the amplifier running again!" With that said Bulma fired off a huge stream of blitz waves at the unconscious Baby with her machine.

However as Baby received his power boost, Goku's super saiyan 4 tail also started reacting to the blitz waves just as it did with the Earth earlier.

"What's wrong with my Dad's tail?" Galina wondered to herself out loud.

"It looks like whatever's helping Baby, is also helping Goku as well!" Future Trunks replied with a smile.

"Alright!" Pan cheered. "That means Grandpa will be able to fight again!"

"Hopefully he'll be able to beat Baby this time!" Kei added.

'How can this be?!' Baby wondered to himself as he suddenly woke up. 'I'm filling up with power! Growing STRONGER!' He then realized that it was Bulma helping him. 'You've really out done yourself here Bulma,' he said proudly to his possessed servant.

"Lord Baby these are pure blitz waves!" Bulma told her master. "You will receive all this power while the saiyan receives none!"

Hearing this Baby got up with pride, satisfied of how strong he had now become. Once back on his feet Baby showed this gratitude to Bulma by destroying his entire city with one blow simply by powering up! The psychotic Tuffle gorilla laughed not caring WHO or WHAT was in the way.

"I see your feeling better now Baby," Goku remarked calmly as he sat on a nearby destroyed building. "It's funny," he said jokingly. "But did you know when you were sleeping just now you snore like a little baby?"

'Dad what are you doing?' Galina thought worriedly to herself. 'I can sense that you don't have enough strength for another major attack. If you keep this bluff up you might die!'

Trunks looked at the worried look on his wife's face. "You know as well as I do, we're going to have to step in sooner or later," he told her gently.

"Yeah I know," Galina nodded. "Hopefully we won't have to, and one attack is ALL my Dad needs to finish that monster off!"

'So you still have enough strength to actually speak do you?!' Baby sneered to his enemy.

"Well while you were laid unconscious on the ground," Goku said matter of factly. "I decided to take a little nap until you woke up and may I say this has been one of rewarding battles ever which makes my achieving super saiyan 4 all the more worth it."

'Oh is that so?!' Baby said not at all impressed by what Goku had to say. 'This must be your 'inner peace' kicking in to make the transition to death that much easier!' The mighty Tuffle gorilla cracked his knuckles. 'I will enjoy this!' He then smashed his fist towards Goku, but the mighty saiyan saw this coming and easily moved away. 'I had so many chances to kill your earlier!' Baby admitted to Goku. 'But each time I underestimated you! Now I'm running on hatred alone and nothing will stop me from dropping you at DEATH'S DOOR!'

"Baby…" Goku replied calmly. "There's no need for you to blame me for your mistakes!" He looked at Baby since he was ready to attack again his last remark engaging the mutated Tuffle even further. 'Ok Goku no more bluffing around,' he thought worriedly to himself. 'I practically have NO power left and my legs feel like they're made of jelly. If my body can't handle what I need to do then I'll have to force him to make his own mistakes. That might be my only option at this point.'

Baby flew towards the super saiyan 4 impatient that the mighty saiyan hasn't tried anything on him yet. 'Well?!" he asked his enemy impatiently. 'Are you ready to finish this battle once and for all saiyan!?'

"Actually," Goku answered casually. "I'm looking forward to continuing this battle. Allow me to demonstrate my new super saiyan powers for you."

Baby however did not take this threat standing around. He gave a sudden roar that was SO loud and powerful that Goku found himself being attacked by the sound waves. He flew into several shattered buildings and crashed to the ground several times before he regained his balance to stand up again.

The mighty Tuffle gorilla laughed and advanced towards the tiny super saiyan 4.

Goku just smirked watching the giant ape come towards him hoping that his bluff would last long enough for Kibito Kai to free the others from Baby's control and for Chibi Trunks and Sal to aid them in this desperate fight for survival.
