Hey guys, Liz here. I know what you're thinking; "But Liz, you said you were gonna do other one-shots before continuing with this multi-parter". I know what I said, but I couldn't think of anything for a new one-shot idea, so I thought I'd continue this one. I'm excited to continue it and I wanna know what you guys think after it's over. Anyway, on with the show!

The Majin Debacle Pt. 3

The decision to go forward with this crazy mess wasn't something that Chiyo liked to make. In fact, she wished for a moment she could take back what she agreed to. She knew fully well going along with this could either get her killed, help in reviving Majin Buu, or maybe even both. Still, Chiyo knew that doing nothing could get innocent people, including her sister, killed. "I'll fight Gohan, but it'll have to be somewhere else so no one gets caught in the crossfire," Chiyo stated to the Majin trio and to Babidi, who Chiyo was sure was listening in on the whole situation.

Speaking of the wizard, he was indeed listening in on all that was transpiring and he wasn't pleased in the slightest. Things were definitely going in a completely different direction than the one he had planned for. "These earthlings are much more troublesome than I thought they'd be," Babidi grumbled under his breath. "I should be able to completely puppet them around, yet they still find a way to resist me! Looks like I'll just have to get rid of them before they become more unmanageable."

"Wait, Master," Dabura spoke up just as Babidi was planning to end his little control game with the three Saiyans. "Instead of getting rid of the three, perhaps we can take advantage of the situation we find ourselves in."

"Oh? Is that so, Dabura?" Babidi asked, slightly intrigued as to this plan Dabura had to bring to the table. If it meant not wasting anymore of his power, Babidi was all ears. (Quick side note, does Babidi even have ears?) "I'm listening. What do you have in mind?"

"From observing these earthlings, we have found that they hold much more power than we gave them credit for," Dabura recapped for Babidi, glancing down at the orb being used to spy on everyone. "The female may be the weakest of the four, but I believe she will be able to provide more than enough energy to revive Buu, so why not let them go forth with this frivolous little scuffle of theirs? And considering the other two wish to duke it out, why not let them do so? The one who comes out on top will be so exhausted from killing the other that it'll be easier to take control of them for our future endeavors."

Babidi did like the sound of this. Anything that involved not having to waste his own power would be nice. However, he didn't pick up on Dabura's ulterior motives in proposing this plan. You see, Dabura wanted things to go through this way because he wanted to see Gohan's full potential in battle. What he got before when fighting Gohan was nothing, but the ruler of the demon realm suspected that the boy had more to offer in terms of power. It would be nice to confirm those suspicions without having to risk his own neck in the process. Besides, it didn't truly hinder his master's plans to resurrect Buu- if anything, it furthered the plans along- so what was the real harm?

"Well, Master? What do you think?"

"I like what you've proposed, Dabura," Babidi stated after momentarily mulling over the plan proposed to him. "We'll entertain these four long enough to get the energy we need to revive Buu."

Placing his hands to the orb, Babidi began to speak through his magic once more; "Listen well, girl," Babidi addressed Chiyo. Supreme Kai and the other three could hear Babidi loud and clear as he spoke to Chiyo. "I'll agree to your little arrangement, but know that you have just sealed your own doom by doing so." Without skipping a beat, Babidi threw out another spell and teleported the group away from the tournament grounds and to an isolated desert aea with mountains peaking up here and there.

Chiyo surveyed the new area around her and could determine that other than the five people who were around her, there was not a soul in- wait, five?!

"Um, what just happened?!" Chinku questioned in a somewhat panicked voice. She couldn't understand how they had gone from the tournament arena to the middle of nowhere in the blink of an eye. And no one had yet to tell her what was going on with her Father, brother, and family friend. The young teen frantically looked around before turning to her older sister for answers. "Chiyo, you better tell me what's going on right now!"

"I get that this is a lot to take in, Chinku, but it's a lot to cover and we don't have much time for that," Chiyo answered her sister while also not really answering her. She did, however, give her sister a smile of reassurance to calm her franticness. "You just gotta do me a favor and help the Supreme Kai, okay?"

"Huh?" Chinku slightly gasped. "Help who with what?"

"Chiyo, this is reckless decision could endanger all of existence!" Supreme Kai finally stated after everything just seemed to happen. He couldn't let this go any further. He was rethinking ever asking these mortals to help him in the first place. "Agreeing to this fight will only give Buu the energy he needs to be revived!"

"Well, if I didn't agree to it, you'd be dead right now, wouldn't you?" Chiyo remarked, earning a look of shock from the Kai and her sister. Rarely did Chiyo show disrespect towards anyone, especially someone who was considered to be an authority figure. She must've been pushed to do this. "I made a choice that protected lives. And while I deal with Gohan, you and my sister can go down into the ship and deal with Babidi before he can get the energy he needs for Buu. You can fill her in on the way down."

"W-What?" Supreme Kai stuttered.

"Hey!" Vegeta shouted from his spot across the way, gaining Chiyo and the two others' attention. "This isn't the time to talk. Or are you just stalling?"

"I'm not stalling," Chiyo replied to Vegeta, sending him a glare of annoyance. "I'm ready."

"Vegeta, I think you're getting more worked up about this than you need to be," Goku slightly teased Vegeta, giving the Saiyan a bit of a playful smirk. "Instead of worrying so much about that, why not focus on more important matters, like settling things with me?" Had the situation been normal, Goku wouldn't seem so sinister. In fact, this seemed like something that he would totally say. However, the energy he was now giving off just made it all seem so twisted. Goku then turned to face Gohan. "You don't mind if Vegeta and I take this somewhere else, do you, son?"

"Oh, not at all," Gohan answered Goku, looking at him through a side-glance. In all honesty, he didn't see why his Father would stay anyway. This fight with Chiyo would be over without a challenge. And the last thing Gohan wanted to do was embarrass his dear twin sister. "I'd hate to have you two sit around and wait for no good reason. Besides, this shouldn't take long."

However, before either Vegeta or Goku could leave the scene, Babidi came into the fray. He was fine with the two leaving to fight, but he wasn't fine with them just leaving. He wanted the Supreme Kai to die first. "No one goes anywhere until the Kai dies!" Babidi shouted in Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta's head.

All three warriors grunted in pain as Babidi put pressure on them through his magic. However, Babidi's control didn't count on Vegeta's stubbornness. Despite the intense pain he was in, Vegeta didn't yield to Babidi's orders. "I…will not be your puppet!" Vegeta shouted at Babidi, powering himself up in the process and throwing Babidi off his feet and causing him to stop putting pressure on all three of them. "I am Vegeta, prince of all Saiyans, and I will bow to no one, especially you!"

This just solidified it for Chiyo that Vegeta willingly allowed this to happen to him. While she figured that Gohan and Goku were taken under Babidi's control due to their spur-of-the-moment anger, Chiyo suspected Vegeta allowed himself to be put under Babidi's control due to his desire to fight her Father. This outburst was all the proof she needed to come to this conclusion.

Goku, meanwhile, became excited when seeing his rival go beyond his limits like this. No longer was Goku being held back by inhibitions of responsibilities like protecting the earth, doing what was right, or anything like that. This was the rematch he had been wanting to do for years and now he was finally going to get it. He never felt more excited than right then in that moment.

Before Babidi could even try to put more effort into trying to correct this little act of disobedience, Vegeta and Goku flew away from the scene. They were out of sight in a matter of seconds.

"Finally," Gohan said after the two were gone, looking back over to Chiyo with arrogance just radiating off of him. His smirk was enough to make Chiyo's stomach turn. "Now we can get down to business." Gohan remarked as he cracked his knuckles.

Swallowing a bit of her nerves, Chiyo took a deep breath in and out before getting into a fighting stance. She was absolutely terrified but what other choice did she have here? Run away and hide? "Chin, go with the Supreme Kai into the ship and help him stop Buu from being woken," Chiyo instructed her sister. "I know you're confused, but you just gotta go, no questions asked, okay?"

To say that Chinku had a billion questions bouncing in her head would be an understatement. She had no idea what was going on in the slightest, but she knew she had to trust her sister and what she was telling her to do. "Got it, Chiyo," Chinku nodded before turning to Supreme Kai. "I'm ready if you are."

Despite how horribly wrong everything seemed to be going, Supreme Kai knew he couldn't do much against these powerful mortals. Some Supreme Kai he was, huh? He let out a small chuckle before nodding back at Chinku. "I suppose we have no choice in the matter," Supreme Kai said before looking back at the entrance to the ship. It would be a risk, but the door would have to be forced open.

He and Chinku began making their way to the door and Babidi noticed this right away. Not learning his lesson from before, Babidi decided to try and use Gohan to stop them. "Don't just stand there! Keep them away from the door you no good-!" Babidi shouted in Gohan's head.

"JUST SHUT UP!" Gohan cut him off, powering himself up to the point where he began cracking Babidi's orb. "I'M SICK OF EVERYONE TELLING ME WHAT I NEED TO DO! AND I'M NOT ABOUT TO LET YOU BE THE NEXT ONE TO DO SO!" With one more burst of energy, the orb was completely shattered, leaving Babidi and Dabura in the dark about what was happening on the surface above.

Using this as an opportunity to strike, Chinku slightly kicked in the door to the next floor. It didn't release much energy and gave her and the Supreme Kai the access they needed to get into the ship. The Kai went in before her and before Chinku could follow after him, she looked over at her brother and sister about to face off. Could she really leave them to fight each other? Still, she knew her sister would protest to her joining the fight, so she had to follow Chiyo's instructions and stop this Buu from being released. Please Chiyo, be careful, She thought before following after Supreme Kai.

Knowing that her sister was gone, Chiyo powered up into Super Saiyan's base power. She didn't want to go out in full force in fear of getting energy to Buu that would make his release happen much quicker.

"Starting off small?" Gohan questioned before letting out a chuckle. "You'll need more than that to beat me."

"I never said I would beat you, Gohan," Chiyo retorted, tucking a stray piece of hair behind her ear. "I just need to keep you from helping Babidi release Buu."

"How noble. Really, I'm touched," Gohan stated in such a mocking manner. "But this has nothing to do with Babidi, not in the least bit."

"Then what is it? I don't understand what would make you stoop to this!"

"I DIDN'T CHOOSE THIS!" Gohan snapped, suddenly powering up to the point where lightning cracked around his form and debris was flying everywhere. Chiyo had to shield herself in order to protect her eyes from the onslaught of rocks and dirt dust flying her way. "It's always been like this! You of all people should know that! I've always been the one to lose my cool, to give into this anger that's within me. Yet every time what does it amount to? Nothing! Not this time! No, this time, it's going to mean something!"

Suddenly, Gohan fired off a Masenko directed right at Chiyo. Chiyo barely managed to dodge the attack in time with it barely grazing her face. As she went to get up, Gohan rushed her and delivered a swift knee to her stomach, sending her skidding across the ground. It took her a moment to get up but she managed to do it with only a few scratches on her. Nothing she couldn't handle at this point. Just gotta keep from getting too injured, She told herself. You can do this.

Without warning, Gohan came at Chiyo again, kicking and punching at her at high speed. She dodged about half of these advances while receiving the other half of these blows directly, sustaining a bit of damage in the process. She tried fighting back with her own attacks and even threw her own Masenko out but Gohan brushed it off like it was nothing.

"Crud," Chiyo mumbled.

"It's finally meaning something, isn't it?" Gohan chuckled. "The anger's being put to actually use. Once I'm done here, I can take on Dad and Vegeta and prove it to them and everyone else."

"Prove what?" Chiyo asked, getting in a defensive position. "What do you have to prove to anyone? You're one of the strongest people on Earth, probably in the whole universe. What's there to prove?"

Gohan clenched his fists together as a vein seemed to pop up on the side of his head. "You just don't get it! You'd never get it!"

"I would if you just talked to me!"

That's when an idea suddenly struck Chiyo. She smacked herself on the head for not thinking of it sooner; the psychic link. How could she forgot the literal link she had to her brother? Maybe she could get through to him that way.

It's all right, Gohan, really, She said through thought. She tried to be as gentle as possible. You don't have to do this. Please, just calm down.

Gohan didn't say anything. He just scowled in annoyance like he expected Chiyo to pull this card and was annoyed to be proven right.

I mean it, Gohan, Chiyo repeated. I want to help you. It doesn't have to be this way!

"….I told you before, Chiyo….I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP!" Gohan shouted before firing off a volley of energy blasts directly aimed at his sister. He didn't relent as he fired over and over again, forming a dust cloud that engulfed Chiyo and caused her to disappear from sight. He did this for a few more moments before he finally stopped. When the dust settled, Chiyo was nowhere to be found and her energy was hidden. Where'd she go?

Suddenly, Chiyo reappeared and kicked Gohan right in the face and sent him flying into a mountain at top speed. After delivering the kick, Chiyo set herself down on the ground, slightly panting and the left pants leg torn at her knee. She had blood dripping down her forehead from the cuts she received as well as down her arms from the wounds found there. I should've figured it wouldn't be that easy, Chiyo thought to herself. But tell me I did a little bit of damage.

A moment later, she got her answer; Gohan burst from the mountain with a real look of rage in eyes a few scrapes on his face. He huffed in anger as he stared Chiyo down. He went to wipe blood dripping from his face. He looked down at the blood on his hands for a good second like it was something he never thought would possibly end up on his hands. Then….he started to laugh a bit. It started out small but then only seemed to grow. "Well, I guess this just confirms something that's been bugging me, sis," Gohan said, flicking the red liquid off his hands with ease. "Something that's been bugging me for years."

"….And that would be what?" Chiyo slightly dared to ask, confused as to where this was going. What on Earth was he rambling on about now?

"Oh, you know very well. Or do I have to make you say it aloud?"

Chiyo is in serious trouble. What could Gohan possibly be alluding to? Can Chiyo manage to follow through with her plans? And can Chinku really stop Dabura and Babidi from going forward with their dark wishes? Find out next time! (Yes, I'm leaving it off on another cliffhanger. Sorry guys).

Thank you, guys so much for making all of this possible! I wouldn't be here without your support. Let me know what you think in a review and maybe I'll get back to you. Anyway, have a good day and remember to wash your hands!
