Chapter Thirty-Eight: World's Most Wanted
"T-this... this is unreal!" Kibito stammered softly, staring wide-eyed down at himself in sheer disbelief.
Wasn't he just dead? He clearly remembered the King of the Dark Demon Realm discovering that he and the others had followed Spopovich and Yamu back to their hideout. He could also still remember the fear that had frozen him in place, as Dabura appeared right in front of him with his hand outstretched to his face, and the subsequent energy blast he fired to kill him in an instant.
And yet, here he was still alive. Somehow.
The assistant of the last living Kaioushin had always believed planet Earth to be a primitive planet that was nothing really special. But could this world actually have a heaven-sent ability to bring people back from the dead? He wondered if Kaioushin or Kosumo were aware of this-
*Kaioushin-sama! Kosumo-sama!* Kibito had been so stunned by his revival, that he didn't immediately realize that his lord and the God of Cosmos were gone. In fact, so were those Saiyajin and their two allies. Atop of that, he was now standing in the center of a massive crater. Had the landscape undergone some kind of change while he was gone?
Kibito shook his head, now was not the time to be worrying about such things. Rising up to his feet, Kibito used his ki to levitate himself out of the crater. Once he touched back down on firm ground again, however, Kibito froze and stared in amazement. Although he had told himself not to be concerned with the surroundings, he couldn't help himself as his eyes took in the desolated features of the vicinity he was in.
*A fierce battle has been fought here recently,* he concluded. *From the looks of things, there was more than one battle. But who was fighting? What in Kaioushin's name is happening here?*
Kibito realized more than ever that he needed to find his master. As he scanned the area, Kibito broke out into a smile when he abruptly located Kosumo's ki. Wherever the God of Cosmos was, she was in very good condition, and from what he was feeling, she was also with Son Goku and his friends. But he frowned when he realized that Kaioushin wasn't with them.
He continued his search. In the next instant, Kibito's flew wide open in alarm when he turned his head towards the east. He had locked onto Kaioushin's energy, however...it was frighteningly weak! But there was another reason why he looked so shocked. Further beyond the point he had located his god's ki, he could also feel the familiar twisted ki of Babidi,.. and that wasn't all. Wherever the warlock was, he was standing very close to a power far more terrifying than Dabura's.
With an expression of hopelessness, Kibito knew right away that kind of energy could only belong to one being.
"What a dark outlook," he murmured forebodingly, his words sounding even grimmer, as they were carried off on a glancing breeze. For a small time, Kibito's face had become bleak. After all that time spent trying to prevent the return of the Majin, all of their efforts had been utterly meaningless in the end. And now not only the planet but the rest of the universe was in great peril. A moment later, his face finally cleared and it was twisted in resolve.
He knew that it would do him no good to just stand there and wallow in his failure. Specifically, now that Majin Buu had been restored. If that monster was to return to that very spot right now, he would be even more helpless than he was against Dabura. For right now, he knew the only thing he should be concerned about was finding his master and revitalizing him before his condition became anymore serious.
A white, fiery aura burst from his body as he lifted off the ground and flew off at an urgent pace to where he located Kaioushin's ki at. A short time into his flight had brought him to a canyon. Peering downward and turning his head this way and that, he scanned the valley carefully. Within the next few minutes, Kibito had ultimately located Kaioushin, and his usually somber-face lit up in joy.
Alighting, Kibito quickly broke out into a run towards the all-too-familiar lavender man lying dismally still on the ground.
"K-Kaioushin-sama!" he called, appalled to see the God of the Kaiou in such a condition. He was elated when he got an answering moan. Apparently, his god had fallen into a state of semi-consciousness from blood loss. For a brief second, Kibito allowed himself to be awash in shame for not being there for his master when he'd obviously needed him. Then the moment passed; he was here with him now and that's all that mattered. Clearing his throat, Kibito extended out his hands and pinched his face in concentration. Golden waves of energy emanated from his palms, showering down on his weakened master and friend. Only a second after his wounds had been healed and his strength had been restored, Kaioushin's eyes flew open and he gasped. Pushing himself up and looking around, the deity nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw his long-time assistant grinning back at him in relief.
"Kibito!...I-I t-thought you were..." Kaioushin had to catch himself, as he was starting to stutter.
Kibito chuckled down at his master, dropping a hand on Kaioushin's right shoulder.
"Dead?" he finished. "So did I, but somehow I'm alive again. This world seems to possess strange powers that not even we were aware of."
For a second, Kaioushin's startled visage melted into a smile, feeling relieved to see that his follower/friend was alive and well. Then his eyes widened as he just remembered something.
"Son Gohan!" Kaioushin suddenly said with urgency, rising to his feet. "We have to find Gohan-san!"
Before Kibito could ask him why, Kaioushin ascended and sped away. Kibito promptly took to the air after him. The two resembled streaks of white light soaring through the sky, soon approaching a groove of trees. Before he had been nearly on his way to falling unconscious, Kaioushin had felt Gohan's presence somewhere in these parts; it had been very weak before, and now it felt even more so.
*Please be alive, Gohan,* Kaioushin pleaded silently to himself. *I'm going to need your help in defeating Majin Buu!*
"Look, Kaioushin-sama! There he is up ahead!" Kibito exclaimed.
Kaioushin did look in front of them. Sprawled beside a bush, surrounded by curious forest animals was Gohan, stock-still. His form-fitting bodysuit was cut in several places. And his expression was twisted in pain; his was mouth opened wide and trickling with blood, and his eyes had lost its pupils.
As soon as Kaioushin and Kibito had touched down, the animals that had gathered around him went scampering away. But the two didn't even pay any attention to them, as their attention was mainly focused on the comatose half-Saiyajin. Leaning down beside him, Kaioushin checked for Gohan's pulse right away. A second later, a smile of relief split the deity's face.
"Good, he's still alive!" he murmured.
With a nod, Kibito spread his hands out over Gohan and prepared to heal him. Surprisingly, Kaioushin grabbed his arm to stop him.
"No, not here, Kibito," he said. "We'll restore Gohan to full health...back on our world in the Kaioushin Realm."
"NANI!?" Kibito yelled, his eyes doubled its normal size and his jaw dropped in an uncharacteristic display of shock. "B-but Kaioushin-sama! The Kaioushin Realm is a sacred place. It is a holy region where not even the Dai Kaiou is allowed to enter!"
Kaioushin looked over at his assistant patiently. "That doesn't matter anymore, we need Gohan. He and his great strength are our only hope against Majin Buu now."
Kibito wanted to argue some more about Kaioushin's idea, but in the end, he merely let out a heavy sigh of resignation.
"What about Lady Kosumo?" he asked. "Shouldn't we go-"
"No," Kaioushin replied, shaking his head. "Kosumo has already fulfilled her obligations to us today and has other duties to tend to. Now, let's get going."
"R-right."
Shortly, the two of them phased out of sphere in a circle of light with their inanimate passenger.
*Time to eat!* Majin Buu decided, as he was still flying with Babidi on his back, who was saying he was going to do this and that to his enemies. The last thing he ate was that red smart-aleck guy, and now he wanted more!
Oh! Maybe that large city they were approaching had some food? With his mind made, Buu hurtled down towards his new target.
"M-Majin Buu! Where are you going?" Babidi demanded to know.
Instead of answering, Buu gained more speed, and the warlock was forced to hang onto his slave's cape for dear life again, wailing at the top of his lungs. As soon as they arrived in the city, Majin Buu touched down in the middle of the street downtown. His landing was so abrupt that Babidi lost his grip on his cape and fell off, landing on the road on his backside.
Straightaway, people had gathered around Majin Buu and Babidi to stare in various levels of curiosity at two of the oddest beings most of them had ever seen. Unanticipatedly, a gold car screeched to a stop behind the Majin and Madoshi.
"Hey, you!" shouted the driver, as he stepped out of his car. "Why don't you watch out! Really, you bastard!"
Seeing as how this creepy guy didn't seem to get the message, the driver slammed the door shut and started to stomp toward Majin Buu. All the same, he immediately stopped when Buu turned around to face him, regarding him with that characteristic deceitful smile of his.
"You're finished now. Bye-bye," Buu declared, waving in finality at the unwitting man.
"Bye-bye?" the man repeated, bewildered.
Momentarily, Majin Buu grabbed a part of his stomach, and the onlookers watched in horror as he ripped a piece of his skin off. Stretching it out, he started twirling it menacingly. Babidi watched on in quiet amusement; yes, they would see just how terrible his Buu could be.
"You're a smart-aleck!" Buu said, flinging his skin at the hapless man. The man let out a cry of shock, as the skin wrapped itself around his body, and pulled him down to the ground. Clenching his fist, the Majin ordered, "Squeeze!"
In response, the piece of skin constricted itself against the man incredibly tightly. Within seconds, the man was dead. There were more screams of horror, but Buu paid no attention to that at all, as he turned and headed off in the direction of a delicious smell nearby.
"W-where are you going!?" Babidi shouted. He had no choice but to follow after his servant again.
People instantly fled from Majin Buu as he approached, screaming in terror. Again, Buu paid no attention to them, as he had found the source of the scent he smelled- a bakery shop.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Babidi called frantically from behind. "Buu!"
Stepping forward, the door started to slide open to let him in, but the impatient Majin didn't let it and walked into the door. Two waitresses inside watched him in uneasy astonishment, as Buu continued to try to force his way in. Majin Buu succeeded at last, his large body shattering the glass door into shards as he entered. A waitress dropped a tray she had been carrying in shock, and customers inside rapidly headed past Majin Buu towards the exit.
"C-customer, sir, are you hurt?" one of the waitresses-a blonde-haired, blue-eyed young woman- asked.
Majin Buu ignored her and walked further into the room- specifically, over to the glass cases and shelves filled with different varieties of sweets. The Majin laughed elatedly.
"Welcome!" greeted the other waitress nervously. "What can we get for you?"
"Everything!" Majin Buu answered curtly, and he walked over toward the cases.
"Everything, you say?" the girl asked incredibly.
Bending down in front of the case, Majin Buu shattered the glass easily with his hand, and then proceeded to scarf down all the cakes in the room. Nearby, the two waitresses watched on in horror.
"Majin Buu! What are you doin!?" Babidi demanded from the doorway. "Let's go!"
"Still don't feel like I've eaten," Majin Buu answered as he stood up. Smelling for food close by, Majin Buu walked without a care through a glass case, and then through the wall.
Babidi followed after Buu, and when he found him, he was eating more cakes a rapid pace. The two were now standing in the kitchen where all the bakery goods were made, but the workers were too busy running for their lives right now instead of doing any actual working. Meanwhile, one was lying unconscious among a group of boxes, obviously the result of him getting in the way of the hungry Majin.
"Okay! That should be enough, right!" Babidi yelled. "Let's go!"
"Still don't feel like I've eaten."
Babidi took a step back to allow Majin Buu space, as he walked off in search of more food.
"Ah, wait a minute!" Babidi shouted. "Majin Buu!"
Babidi tried to follow him, but his cape got caught on something. Swiveling his head around, he saw that it was the brunette waitress, the heel of her show pressed down hard on his cape to prevent him from going anywhere.
"W-what are you doing!?" he barked. "Let me go! You've got some nerve-"
"No, you're the one who has some nerve, uncle!" the young woman countered dauntlessly.
"Uncle!?" Babidi repeated in annoyance.
"Please pay for these cakes!" the woman ordered. "Include the cost for repairs to the door, the show window, and everything else, if you please! I won't let you go until then."
"Sweetheart, you don't seem to know who I am," Babidi retorted.
"Not in the least!" the woman said uncaringly.
Babidi glowered at her. "Whether or not this world continues on its way to destruction is entirely up to my will! I am Madoshi Babidi-sama!"
The warlock did not get the response had been going for, as the waitress roughly grabbed his cape with her hands.
"I don't care if you're a Madoshi or a Keiyoshi," she told them. "You'll have to pay your bill!"
Lifting him up into the air, the woman started spinning Babidi around.
"Rude wench!" Babidi screamed. Raising his hands, the mage shouted, "PAPARAPAPA!"
Just as the woman released him, she materialized out of the room. Afterwards, Babidi hit the wall beside the other waitress, sliding down to the floor.
"She vanished!" the other waitress said in unbelief.
Glaring up at her, Babidi shouted, "Would you like to try vanishing too?"
"No!"
Meanwhile, the other poor waitress was screaming for help while hung on the side of a building.
Parked outside the Fresh Cake & Bread West Bakery was a group of police officers, all of their guns trained on the door.
"Attention criminals!" shouted the Sergeant through a bullhorn. "Cease your futile resistance and come out quietly!"
"Majin Buu! Haven't you had enough yet?" Babidi was asking Buu inside the bakery.
"No good," Majin Buu replied, eating on another cake. "This cake is yummy, but doesn't make my tummy full."
"Majin Buu! Right now!" Babidi ordered. "Do you want to be sealed up again?"
As always, that one single threat got the results he wanted out of the Majin. Looking visibly irritated, Buu tossed the cake away, turned and slowly made his way towards the door. Babidi grinned in triumph before following after him.
Just as Majin Buu walked through a show window, a gun was aimed at him, accompanied by a gruff voice shouting, "Don't move!"
"Don't move!" repeated another officer, who also had his gun pointing at Buu.
"You're under arrest for destruction of property and failure to pay your check!" said the officer standing on his left. Subsequently, he tried to slap a cuff on Buu's wrist, only to discover in shock that Majin Buu's wrist was entirely too large for it to fit.
Taking the cuffs away from the man, Buu lifted it up to study the handcuffs for a moment. Then he rolled them up into a ball of metal and aimed it at the Sergeant. With a sharp blow, the Majin sent the ball of metal zooming through the air where it smashed the Sergeant in the nose, knocking him to his feet. Instantly, the subordinate officers responded by firing rounds of bullets at this most bizarre criminal. But to their shock once more, the bullets had no effect whatsoever, and he pushed the bullets out of his body, resembling silver coins as they hit the ground.
The officers stared in equal dismay.
Inhaling, Buu exhaled out a ki blast at one of the cars, blowing it up easily.
"Still don't feel like I've eaten," Buu grumbled.
"Don't get so mad," Babidi said as he drew up abreast him. "Come on, let's go agonize Juuhachi-gou, Amara, and as well as their three pals!" The warlock chuckled wickedly. "I'll teach them! I'll show them quite a scene real soon!"
Everyone out on the courtyard summarily looked around when they sensed Goku's arrival with the others, even before they materialized in front of them. Everyone except for Amara and Kosumo went over to greet them.
"Hey, guys. Nice to see ya'," Kuririn said with an affable wave and smile.
"So, how are things going?" Yamucha asked.
"Not really good," Piccolo answered solemnly, his mouth set in a grim line.
"Whoa! What in the world is this place?" Videl asked no one in particular, as she broke away from the group to stare up at God's Palace in awe. But no one had heard her to give an explanation.
"Eeeh! There's Amara!" Oolong yelped suddenly, pointing at the Saiyajin woman fearfully while backpedaling.
Those who had witnessed Amara's actions at the tournament earlier were also wary of the Princess. Standing by the palace, Amara couldn't help but to smirk in amusement, in spite of herself.
"Relax, everything's okay now," Goku rapidly assured his wife and the others in her group. "Amara was under Babidi's spell, but she's completely cured now."
"Well, if you say so," Bulma replied, her and the others more or less relaxing.
"What's up with Bulma's father and mother?" Kuririn inquired, noting their absence.
"They couldn't stand to leave their pets behind," Bulma explained. "They said if they do get killed, we can just bring them back to life with the Dragonballs."
"That's just like your parents, huh?" Kuririn said sympathetically.
The woman sighed. "I guess so."
"If only we knew where Tienshinhan and the others were," Kuririn said. "We could let them take shelter here, too."
It was right then and there that Piccolo took notice of the unexpected addition to the group. His eyes dilated in surprise.
"J-Juunana-gou!?" he said. "What are you doing here?"
The cyborged man chuckled. "You guys are starting to sound like a broken record."
Privately, Amara was a bit disconcerted that she hadn't noticed her rival's twin brother standing there until now.
"But why exactly are you here, Juunana-gou?" Kuririn asked.
"He's only here to see Juuhachi-gou-san?" Bulma replied. She then looked around questioningly. "Where is Juuhachi-gou, anyway? And Koji?"
"And where are Gohan and Goten?" Those were the first words that came out Chichi mouth since coming to the Lookout. She had worried greatly over her sons after everything that happened at the tournament and learning about Babidi's plot to revive Majin Buu. Now, as she didn't see heads or tails of either of her children, that accustomed cold knot of dread that always appeared at times like this grew in the pit of her stomach.
Kuririn quailed. He was not looking forward to this part at all.
Goku frowned cheerlessly at his wife. This was the one thing he never wanted to tell her, but he knew that it would do him no good to keep this from her. Turning to her husband, Chichi had caught his expression and scowled suspiciously.
"Goku-sa! I asked you where Gohan and Goten were!" Chichi snapped, worry making her temper flare. "So tell me!"
That cold knot grew even more when she noticed the dark expressions on the faces Piccolo, Dende, Amara, and Kosumo. Juunana-gou was looking very intrigued by this.
There was a very long pause.
"Goku..." Kuririn urged.
"I'll say it, since it's something that has to be said," Goku said earnestly. "Goten, Koji, and Juuhachi-gou are all resting inside the palace..." He braced himself for what he had to say next. "...But Gohan and Vegeta are dead. They've been killed by Majin Buu."
Everyone who didn't already know of these events and wasn't a small baby gasped in appalled horror at the grizzly news. Instead of instantly crying, Chichi swayed on her feet and fainted; her father promptly caught her before she could hit the ground and started fanning his hand over her face to revive her. Goku hastily moved to check on his wife as well.
Videl had heard Goku and froze solidly in place, aghast as her heart sunk all the way down to her feet. No, it just wasn't true! Gohan couldn't be dead! He just couldn't be!
"T-this is awful!" Bulma said grievingly, tears slipping down out her eyes. Yamucha quickly gripped his wife's shoulders to steady her. "Both Gohan and Vegeta are..."
"I know," Yamucha said consolingly.
"Poor Chichi," Bulma said. "And poor Juuhachi-gou and Koji. how are we going to tell them about Vegeta?"
"You don't have to worry about me," said a familiar voice. All who could summarily looked toward the entrance of the palace to see Juuhachi-gou walking out, her eyes too dark to read. Pausing at the top of the stairs, Juuhachi-gou raised her head and her eyes cleared. "I already know about Vegeta...I know he's dead."
"There's something else you should also know," Piccolo said. "Majin Buu survived Vegeta's attack."
Juuhachi-gou's expression twisted in open shock.
"W-what!?" she exclaimed. "No way!"
Juuhachi-gou couldn't believe it. If Majin Buu survived Vegeta's attack, then that only meant one thing Vegeta sacrificing himself was absolutely meaningless. For a moment, Juuhachi-gou appeared extremely angered as she stared down at the floor, turning the news over in her mind. However, when she did look back up at the others, she quickly hid the emotions on her face behind an impassive mask.
"Where is Koji?" she demanded as she walked over toward them, finally voicing the question she'd been wanting to ask when she had come outside and hadn't seen her son around.
"He's asleep in the palace with Goten," Piccolo informed her.
"Oh," Juuhachi-gou replied, looking down again.
"What's with that dreadful appearance, Juuhachi-gou?"
Juuhachi-gou immediately looked up as soon as she heard that only-too familiar voice. Her eyes flew wide and her eyebrows rose in shock when she saw her twin brother approaching her.
"J-Juunana-gou!?" Juuhachi-gou said disbelievingly. Had it not been for the situation, she would have wondered if this was another rare dream she was having.
"Yo," Juunana-gou replied as he drew up in front of her.
Already wound tight with emotions, Juuhachi-gou glowered at her brother.
"Yo? Is that all you have to say to me after we haven't seen each other for seven years!?" she demanded crossly. "You bastard! I thought you were dead!"
"Likewise," Juunana-gou answered in a more serious tone.
A look of surprise flashed across his sister's face. It had never once occurred to her that her brother was actually still alive and was searching for her as much as she was for him, but stopped because he believed she was dead.
"Goku, things have gotten awful, huh?" said another well-known voice.
"Karin-sama!" Goku said in surprise.
"I couldn't just sit still, you know?" Karin replied, drawing up beside Dende. "This enemy is even greater than the Furiiza or Cell you've fought up to now, Goku."
"Cell," Juunana-gou restated, grimacing at painful memories. His sister was the only one who noticed this, and she understood fully how he felt.
Outside a large city, Babidi and Majin Buu stood together on a cliff, staring down at the metropolis.
"I'm hungry," Majin Buu said, still looking irritated about a certain someone interrupting his meal back at the last city.
"There's no helping you!" Babidi said enduringly. Momentarily, his face brightened malevolently. "I know! I just had a good idea! This should cheer you up."
"Goku, Kosumo-sama, let's hurry and teach them Fusion," Piccolo suggested.
"That's right," Goku agreed, while Kosumo nodded.
None of them saw the grimace that warped Amara's face as soon as the subject was brought back up.
"Fusion?" Juuhachi-gou echoed, nonplussed.
"To fight Majin Buu, we're going to try using a technique known as Fusion," Goku explained. "It's where two warriors with similar power fuse together into an even stronger fighter. We've already chosen Koji and Goten to learn this method."
"Koji...and Goten?" Juuhachi-gou repeated.
"Juuhachi-gou." Hearing the God of Cosmos, Juuhachi-gou turned to the orange-haired woman. "Listen, we've also suggested that another Fusion take place..."
"Argh! Didn't I tell you to forget that!?" Amara snapped. "I am not going through that nonsense!"
Juuhachi-gou lifted a brow at the other two women.
""What are you two talking about?" she asked.
"Lady Kosumo wants you and Amara to use the Galactic Rings to fuse together to fight Majin Buu," Piccolo supplied, his impatience clearly heard in his gruff voice. "As a single fighter, you two may even be strong enough to beat him."
"And I said I'm not doing it!" Amara snarled stubbornly.
"But honey..." Kuririn tried to reason with her, but quickly quieted when his mate fixed him with a fierce glare.
"Don't you honey me! I am not about to fuse with that Android!" she spat venomously.
Juuhachi-gou scowled stonily at the annoyed Princess. "For one of the few times since we've known each other, you and I are in perfect agreement, Amara. I could never merge with the likes of you!"
Amara glowered thunderously at the blonde woman, who met her look back fearlessly.
The moment of tense silence was abruptly interrupted.
"Can you hear me, people of the Earth?" asked an unpleasantly familiar voice.
Everyone on the courtyard stared up in shock. Inside the palace, standing in the hallway, Hoshi was evenly surprised as she looked up at the ceiling.
"I am the Madoshi Babidi! Oh, don't try to look for me, you won't find me!" Babidi's voice sneered. "I'm speaking to your minds through magic!"
Back on the hill, Babidi grinned to himself as he knew he surely had the attention of all the Earthlings now.
"Sorry to interrupt while you're living peacefully," the warlock said, not sorry at all about doing such a thing. "The thing is, I had a rather disagreeable thing happen to me today, at the hands of a certain group of five fools. I'm looking for these fools now. Close your eyes and watch, I'm about to project their images."
"What is he doing?" Goku asked in annoyance.
With no other choice, everyone listening closed their eyes.
"Can you see them now?" Babidi's voice asked. Abruptly, an image of a certain blonde-haired woman appeared. "This one's name is Juuhachi-gou. And the next one's name is Amara." The image shifted to a picture of a scowling dark-haired woman.
In the Heavenly Realm, there was more than one cry of shock.
"They are the biggest offenders, and here are their helpers!" Right after, images of Piccolo, Koji, and Goten appeared one by one.
"Come on out!" Babidi ordered. "Certainly you five must know who you are yourselves. If you don't come out...I know, why don't we introduce ourselves?"
Momentarily, Babidi's image appeared in everyone's mind, both his hands thrust up in victory.
"I am the terrifying Madoshi Babidi-sama!"
Subsequently, Majin Buu's image appeared, the Majin thrusting his fists in victory, too.
"And this is my servant, the even more frightening Majin Buu! He's a strong one! There is utterly no one around who can beat him!"
An image of the city the warlock and the Majin were watching appeared.
"Can you see this city?" Babidi asked. "If those five fools do not come forward, let me show you a little of what will happen."
Piccolo's eyes flew open in horrid comprehension.
"S-stop!" he pleaded.
"I don't care much for things to get all messy," Babidi said, staring back at all the viewers. "So I will kill everyone in the city in a smartly manner! Okay, begin, Majin Buu!"
On cue, Buu thrust his gloved hands forward. Within the city, the citizens suddenly found themselves being lifted high up into the air by an unseen force.
"T-that scum!" Goku said angrily. "What is he planning to do?"
"What should I make you?" Majin Buu was wondering. "I've had enough cake, so...okay! You turn into hard candy!"
Knowing what he wanted, Majin Buu fired a Henka Beam at the hapless citizens. The people were hit on target, their cries for help coming to a halt, as they were all morphed into different colored hard candy. Everyone at the Heavenly Realm watched in equal horror as the Majin took a big inhale, sucking in all of the candy like a vacuum.
"T-that creepy bastard!" Amara hissed.
The grimace on the faces of Juuhachi-gou, Goku, Piccolo, and Kosumo intensified.
The people of Chikyuu looked on in total disgust and horror as they watched Majin Buu gobble down an entire population with a satisfied sigh, his belly growing even larger. To the far right, Babidi laughed wickedly at the Majin's demonstration of his fearsome power. He then swiveled to talk to the devastated people again.
"If those five don't show up, all the people on this planet will end up like this!" he vowed, cackling triumphantly.
To Be Continued
