Hey guys, Liz here. So you might be thinking, "Liz, why did you change the cover for the story? What's going on?" Well, I'm glad you asked. This is a bit different from the other stories in that this is a "what if of a what if". (I know, what a paradox). Anyway, this story isn't related to any of the canon stuff for the Son kids or the legit timeline, but I thought it would be really fun to do.

Based on this one picture I found on Instagram (that's the new cover by the way), things are about to turn ugly on the trek to stop Babidi from releasing Buu. It's more than Vegeta who will be tempted by the power that comes with the M. What will this mean for the release of Buu? Find out, now.

The Majin Debacle Pt.1

Age 774

The fight with Gohan and Dabura had been interrupted and now the four Saiyan warriors and Supreme Kai stood around wondering why he would suddenly leave. They wanted energy, right? That was the only way to release Majin Buu. So why stop the fight? Gohan, Chiyo, and Goku pondered this issue while Vegeta seemed to be stewing in anger.

After a while, Vegeta had enough and suddenly decided to chew out Gohan for his horrible fight against Dabura, claiming how he was spineless and worthless for letting Dabura get away. He berated Gohan on his fight and how he fell from being one of the strongest people on the planet. On top of that, Vegeta laid on the guilt trip on how Gohan's blunder failed to save Krillin and Piccolo from their stone entrapments.

When he really thought about it, Gohan realized his mistake and felt the guilt settle in. He messed up again. Vegeta's right, He thought to himself. If I hadn't let him slip out, I could've saved Krillin and Piccolo. Now they might be stuck like that forever. What was wrong with him? He couldn't even get the job done despite his friends' lives being on the line.

After hearing all this, Chiyo decided to step in. She was getting real sick of Vegeta's attitude lately and this was just the cherry on top of the sundae of doneness. She had to give Vegeta a bit of reality. "Lay off him, Vegeta," She told the man who was slightly shorter than her. "Gohan was just starting up. He could've taken him, I'm sure."

"Shut up! No one asked for your opinion!" Vegeta shouted at Chiyo, causing her to step back a bit. Now his attention was on her and not Gohan so her plan partially worked. "You're even worse than him! At least he's shown his worth at some point. But you? I don't even know why you bothered coming. You haven't proved yourself at all."

Chiyo was stunned by Vegeta's sudden berating of her. She hadn't fought yet, true, but she was more capable than he gave her credit for. Still, she remained silent.

"Your brother was the reason for Cell's defeat, after all! You just showed up at the last minute to stand next to him. What we need is for him to be ruthless like he was before Cell got the jump on him!"

"And who's fault was that, huh?!" Gohan shouted from his side of the room. He started gritting his teeth and clenching his fists. These were signs to Chiyo that he was trying to hold down his temper. "You're the one who let Cell get the better of you! You just had to let him reach his final form, didn't you?! You couldn't even protect Trunks!" As soon as Gohan realized what he said, he clamped his hands over his mouth. He couldn't believe he just said that.

A horrible and tense silence settled into the room. Vegeta said nothing for a while as he let Gohan's words settle in. Goku and Chiyo slightly bit their tongues when they heard this too seeing as how this was a sensitive issue.

"V-Vegeta, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean-"

Before Gohan could finish, Vegeta went to lung at the boy. However, Goku stepped in and grabbed Vegeta from behind. "Vegeta!" Goku shouted as the prince of Saiyans squirmed in his hold.

"Unhand me, Kakarot!" Vegeta shouted at Goku. He thrashed all about in Goku's hold but couldn't break free. How dare the boy bring that up. Vegeta was furious! Gohan had no room to talk about protection. Plus…a part of him didn't want to believe that he failed to protect his son from the future. He'd rather shift the blame onto someone else than face that fact. "How DARE you bring that up, boy! That wouldn't have happened if you had finished off Cell while you had the chance! Trunks and Kakarot's deaths are on your hands!"

Now that struck a nerve with Gohan. Trunks was one thing, but bringing up the fact that his Father died because of him was a whole other issue. He had to live with that guilt for years now and, as of the past two years or so, he had come to accept what had happened with the Cell games and Goku's death. Now though, it seemed that acceptance was being thrown out the window and being replaced by pure anger for Vegeta bringing it up.

Just as Gohan was about to go for Vegeta, Chiyo grabbed him from behind and tried holding him back. "Gohan, no!" Chiyo shouted at her brother as she held onto him. He hadn't transformed or anything, so she had at least a decent hold on him for now.

"YOU TAKE THAT BACK, VEGETA!" Gohan growled at Vegeta as he struggled to get free of Chiyo.

"MAKE ME, BRAT!" Vegeta rebutted to Gohan.

"VEGETA! GOHAN!" Goku shouted, trying to be a voice of reason here. "The both of you stop right now!"

Gohan seemed to heed his Father's statement and calmed down, if momentarily. Chiyo still held onto her brother just in case he quickly flew into a rage again. Goku did the same with Vegeta since he knew that Vegeta was still willing to throw hands at Gohan. He could tell just by the fact that Vegeta was still struggling slightly in the hold.

Goku was irritated now. He didn't like how things were being interrupted by Babidi and his evil plans either; he wanted just as badly as Vegeta to fight all-out with his rival one last time, but things had to be set aside in order to make sure Earth was taken care of. Before settling the score with the Saiyan prince, Goku wanted to make sure his family and home were safe for good. They could hold off on this match for a little while longer. "This fighting with ourselves has got to stop. We didn't come here to fight each other; we came here to fight Babidi and prevent Buu from reawakening. I'm not spending my only day left here on Earth dealing with this."

"And who's fault is that that this is your only day, Kakarot?" Vegeta spoke up once Goku was finished. "You chose to stay dead, and for what? You really thought that by staying dead you'd protect this little dirtball of a planet? Bah! Give me a break! I know why you really chose to stay in otherworld." Vegeta felt there were ulterior motives as to why Kakarot chose to stay dead; he thought that the lower-class warrior choosing to remain dead was because he it would mean that he could train all he wanted without interruption by "family and friends". Vegeta wasn't stupid; he knew Goku had unlocked some newfound strength while in otherworld and was even farther ahead now. This good-guy routine of protecting other was bull crap in his opinion.

That struck a nerve with Goku. He knew what Vegeta was inferring about his decision to remain dead. True, Goku did get to train more, but he also did think he was doing the right thing and strongly believed he was protecting Earth by doing what he did. A part of him grew angry as he thought more about Vegeta's insinuation.

"Guys, please," Chiyo finally spoke after all of that. She was growing increasingly worried about how this was escalating. She was getting a bad feeling if things escalated further. "We're all stressed out right now about everything and are at each other's throats because of it. Maybe we all should take a minute to take a deep breath."

"Stay out of this!" Vegeta barked at Chiyo. "A weakling like you has no place here!"

Before Chiyo could rebuttal, Gohan stepped in. "Don't talk to my sister like that!" He growled at Vegeta who merely smirked.

"Oh? So, you get more upset at me attacking her worth, huh?" Vegeta mocked, crossing his arms over his chest and getting a kick out of this. "Maybe you would've killed Dabura instantly if your sister had been turned to stone instead."

Suddenly, Gohan slipped out of Chiyo's hold and went straight for Vegeta. Goku, however, managed to get between his son and rival before the two could exchange blows. "That's enough!" Goku told the two of them.

"You're defending him after what he just said?!" Gohan shouted at his Dad. He was flabbergasted that his own Father would allow Vegeta to get away with saying that to his sister. How could he be like this? "Do you even care what he just said to Chiyo?! What kind of Father are you?!"

That kinda stung for Goku. Of course he cared about Chiyo. He cared about all his children, his wife, his friends, and his rival. He remained dead for them. Goku knew that they had to focus on dealing with Buu and Babidi, not going for each other's throats. "Gohan, this isn't the time for falling apart," Goku tried to calm down his son. He knew Chiyo was all right and that fighting about it right now was not the smartest idea. "We need to keep calm."

"Look where keeping calm got us, Kakarot!" Vegeta shouted at Goku. "Your failure of a son let his opponent get away. You're both too soft to get anything done around here!" Without warning, Vegeta began charging a blast and aimed it down towards the ship's floor. "I'm ending this now!"

"No, stop!" The Supreme Kai begged of Vegeta, finally stepping in. He was visibly shocked by all that was going on. How could things be falling apart so fast? Perhaps he had been wrong in asking these warriors for help. Not only had Vegeta stirred the pot with everyone else, but now he was about to release Majin Buu if he did this. "If you blow up the ship, you'll release Buu! Don't you care about the Earth?"

"I don't give a damn about this planet!" Vegeta shouted, aiming the blast now at the Kai. He was pissed. No, he was beyond pissed. How dare this little man tell him what to do. (I mean, Vegeta's one to talk here, but still). All he cared about was his final bout with Kakarot and nothing else. He wanted that fight and if that meant releasing this "Majin Buu" then so what?

Before he could fire off the blast, Goku grabbed Vegeta by the arm and raised it up in the air, sending a glare Vegeta's way. "He told you not to do that," Goku told Vegeta, a slight hint of anger in his voice. It was an anger that Gohan and Chiyo hadn't seen in such a long time; the same anger Goku felt before squaring off with Nappa.

"Let me go, Kakarot," Vegeta demanded of Goku.

The former protector of Earth refused.

Before long, a full-on shouting match started to go out between Goku, Vegeta and Gohan. All three were giving into anger and started shouting at one another. They just kept getting louder and louder as their voices became jumbled. It was getting too hectic to think straight, but at least no fists, kicks, or anything physical was being thrown.

Chiyo tried to interject and get everyone to calm down so her anxiety would go away, but nothing worked. Her softer voice got lost in the shouts of her brother, Father, and friend (?). After a bit of unsuccessfully getting them to stop, Chiyo took a step back and thought that perhaps everyone needed this. Things had finally reached a boiling point, so maybe it was time to let everyone vent frustrations that seemed to be collecting for close to seven years now. As long as things didn't get physical, maybe it would work out and they'd be able to get back on focus. Besides, Babidi couldn't get energy to Buu if no one was actually getting physically injured.

"Aren't you going to stop them?" Supreme Kai asked Chiyo as she stood and watched the scene. He couldn't believe that mortal beings could be like this. Why couldn't they see the bigger picture here? Buu could be unleashed and this petty squabbling would mean nothing in the grand scheme of things.

The nearly adult woman sighed and shook her head no. "….I think they need this," She stated to the higher being with her arms crossed over her chest. "Tensions have been bubbling for years and now they're getting to vent to one another. I won't jump in unless it gets to the point that I need to get involved."

Meanwhile, Babidi was enjoying this. Oh, how he delighted in seeing the three warriors going at each other's throats. The Supreme Kai's own warriors were more concerned with each other than him. This was just what he needed to stir up some chaos of his own.

"These three will do very nicely," Babidi said with glee to Dabura. "If I can get all three of them under my control, then I can finally get rid of that Supreme Kai once and for all!"

Dabura wasn't sure what Babidi was thinking by proposing to do such a thing. He thought the top priority was resurrecting Majin Buu. Besides, he thought that that taking control of the one known as Vegeta wouldn't be too hard, but the other two warriors were pure of heart. He was certain his master couldn't accomplish such a feat. "Master," Dabura stated, gaining Babidi's attention. "I thought your powers only worked on this who had impure intentions."

"Yes, Dabura, they do," Babidi stated. However, the big smirk on the little wizard's face meant that there was a but to this. "But anger can cloud even the purest of hearts. And these three have enough anger to do just that! It might drain my powers a bit more than usual, but the prospect of killing that meddling Kai before reviving Buu is too good to pass up!"

Even though Dabura would've preferred to fight Gohan later on, he knew that he could not disobey his master's wishes even if he wanted to. His master must've known what he was doing. They had made it to this point so what could go wrong? Besides, once Buu was revived, Dabura knew Babidi would have no more use of the three Saiyans and he could go and kill the boy as he desired to. For now, he would just have to wait.

Babidi chuckled as he cracked his knuckles a bit in preparation for the spell. This would be tricky. He had to wait for the optimal moment of tension to arise for all three. If he didn't time it just right, then he could end up only getting one or two of these three. He watched careful before finally striking; "Paparapaapa!" He shouted and the spell was sent out towards the three arguing Saiyans.

Just as the yelling match was escalating and Chiyo thought that she would have to step in, Vegeta suddenly stopped shouting as he felt the worse headache imaginable occurring. He clutched his head in pain as he let out a scream and staggered backwards.

"Vegeta? What's wrong?" Goku asked upon seeing his rival like this. He tried to take a step towards him when suddenly, Goku felt a horrible headache come onto him as well. He grabbed a hold of his head too and started screaming in pain.

"Dad! Vegeta!" Gohan shouted upon seeing this. Before he could even take a micro step, Gohan came down with this terrible headache too and was in the same position as the other two.

All three warriors were screaming in pain and holding their heads as they felt Babidi trying to taking control of them. It was like a million voices screaming in their heads all at once and an immense pressure pushing down on them. This pain was both physical and mental and unlike anything the three Saiyans had ever experienced before.

"Dad! Gohan! Vegeta!" Chiyo screamed upon seeing all three of them like this. She couldn't understand what was happening to them. Were they all being attacked at the same time? Was this all part of Dabura and Babidi's plan?

"This is not good!" Supreme Kai stated, fear written all over his face. Had it been only one of them, it would've been one thing. But all three at once? This was the worst thing that could possibly happen to them! "Babidi is trying to take control of all three of them at once!"

"What?!" Chiyo shouted as all three Saiyans in question suddenly turned into Super Saiyans. How could this be? How could this be happening to her Father and brother? Chiyo couldn't believe this! "You said that those pure of heart couldn't be put under Babidi's control!"

"Anger; that's what must be causing this. He's manipulating the anger that Goku and Gohan have and is using it to cloud their minds. This makes them just as susceptible to Babidi's mind control as Vegeta!"

"Can't you help them?! You're a Supreme Kai, right? Shouldn't you be able to do something for them?!"

"I can't." Supreme Kai looked defeated when he said that. He couldn't save his other fellow kais; he couldn't save Kibito; and now, he couldn't stop Babidi from getting the warriors he needed to help him release Buu. Some Kai he was.

This all just didn't make sense to Chiyo. She could understand Babidi going for Vegeta, but her Father and brother? It didn't add up. Didn't he stand to lose more of an opportunity to get energy to Majin Buu by turning all three of them? The Kais had mentioned how those under Babidi's control wouldn't contribute energy to Buu by being injured, so what was it he was really after?

Regardless, Chiyo knew she had to try something. "Guys, you have to fight it!" Chiyo shouted to the three facing the mind control. "You're stronger than him! Fight his control!"

The three just grunted and gritted their teeth as they all sank to their knees.

"S-Stop," Goku stuttered out. He must've been referring to Babidi when he said this. "J-Just stop."

"…Can't….fight it," Gohan barely managed to get out. He sounded like he was getting weaker and weaker with each passing moment.

"Yes, you can!" Chiyo tried encouraging Gohan. No way was she going to let her brother quit on her.

"You have to clear your mind, all of you!" Supreme Kai instructed. "Let go of your negative emotions! It's the only way you three can win this!"

Suddenly, all three screamed at once and sent the Kai flying back while Chiyo struggled to stay on her feet. She shielded herself as their powers continued to grow and grow. The ship itself started to shake as they all were going beyond Super Saiyan and into Super Saiyan 2. The Earth itself seemed to quake under this power and it could be felt all the way back at the tournament grounds. Anyone who could sense energy could tell that something was going on.

What do I do?! Chiyo thought as she felt them all slipping further and further under Babidi's control. Vegeta was right about her; she was useless. How could she do anything for these three? She tried appealing to her brother one last time as his power rose far above her imagining. "Gohan! You have to fight it! Don't let your anger take control of you again!"

Without warning, Chiyo was thrown back the dark energy emanating from all three Saiyans and sent to the wall. She didn't end up breaking the ship, but it sure didn't feel good dealing with the slight blow to the head. As she sat up, the darkness radiating from the three suddenly stopped and all three fell to their knees once more with all of them panting.

Chiyo quickly got to her feet and attempted to run over to the others. "Guys!" She shouted as she went over to them. However, the Supreme Kai grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back. "Let go of me! I have to-"

"It's too late," Supreme Kai interrupted her.

Yep; I'm that mean to leave it on such a cliffhanger. Sorry. That's it for now. Would you like to see more of this? Let me know what you guys think in the reviews. I really want to know what you think. Thank you for the support guys. You're truly awesome. Have a good day and remember to wash your hands!
