"It looks like they are about to land." SK commented. "Out here?" Krillin asked. "That's strange. We've already searched this area." Kibeto commented. They saw a small building below a mountain. Spopovitch and Yamu landed in front of the building. "Everyone, please lower your power." SK said. Kay, SK. Marco said. "Stop calling me that!" SK said.
Everybody landed on the mountain. Marco, Jake, Cassie, and Ax demorphed. "I don't think I'll ever get used to that." Krillin said, watching them demorph. Someone walked out of the ship. "Is that Babidi?" Goku asked. "No, it's probably one of his followers." SK said. Marco looked over at Goku.
"By the way, what's with the halo?" Marco asked. "Oh, this? I'm dead, just back for the day." Goku replied casually. "Oookay. . ." "Marco, shut up!" Jake said. "Fine."
"The ground looks strange. Like it was dug up or something." Goku observed, looking at the ground around the ship. "So that's why we couldn't find his ship! He hid it underground!" Kibeto exclaimed, clenching his fist. The guy went back inside the ship. "I'm getting a really bad feeling about this." Marco said.
"Something's coming out!" Piccolo observed. A red hand grasped the doorframe, lifting out it's owner. A little yellow alien with an orange cape floated out of the ship, followed by a big red guy with horns. Spopovitch and Yamu bowed. "That's Dabura!" SK gasped. "Babidi has even managed to take control of him?!" Kibeto gasped. "Huh?" Krillin asked. "Who's Dabura?" Cassie asked.
"Dabura? Who's that? The big one?" Goku asked. "That's right." SK replied. "He looks somewhat like the devil." Marco muttered. "Is he strong?" Goku asked.
"Of course! He's king of the demon world." "WHAT?!" the Animorphs asked in unison. (A/N: Ax and Tobias said it too, but I'm not putting the little thought-speak things there.) "What's the demon world?" Gohan asked. "On the other side of this reality is another reality. One of you is probably the strongest in this universe, but Dabura is definitely the strongest in the universe of evil." SK explained. "Wow. . ." Jake said. "And I thought Visser Three was bad." Marco joked.
"Marco, this is no joking matter!" SK cried. "Like I said, it's hard to get him to shut up." Rachel said, slightly smirking. "So the little guy is Babidi?" Gohan asked. "Yes." SK replied.
Babidi landed. "He's not physically strong, but he has powerful magic. Never underestimate him, especially if he's able to possess Dabura. . ." SK said. "Is his magic strong enough to make Dabura do whatever he wants?" Piccolo asked.
"No, it takes over the evil in a person's heart to make them think that it was what they wanted all along. That is Babidi's most powerful magic. That's what he did to Yamu, Spopovitch, and all his other henchmen. That's why only us who are pure of heart can fight him." SK answered. "So he takes over the evil in people's hearts. . ." Krillin repeated. Then he grinned. "You know, Piccolo hasn't always been one of the good guys." "Krillin! Now is not the time!!" Piccolo yelled. Krillin shrunk back. "Rachel hasn't always been the one that's pure-hearted either. We found that out when there was a morphing accident." Marco said. (A/N: He's talking about when Rachel got split into Good Rachel and Bad Rachel in The Separation.)
Um. . .Guys? I think we should be worrying about what's going on now. . . Tobias said, perched on a rock. "I wasn't expecting Dabura to be here. This changes everything." SK said. "I think I'll be going now. It looks like you guys won't be needing me." Krillin said. "Yeah. If anything happened to you then your wife would kill me." Goku said.
"But you're already dead." Marco pointed out. Goku put his hand behind his head. "Oh yeah. . ." Rachel rolled her eyes. Um. . .Guys? What's going on? Tobias asked slowly, watching the scene below them. Spopovitch looked like he was about to explode. "Who knows? This situation is about as weird as the Yeerks." Marco commented.
Suddenly, Spopovitch exploded. "Oh my God!" Cassie gasped. Yamu backed away, frightened. Yamu began to fly off. Babidi and the guy said something, then the guy blasted Yamu. "What kind of people kill their own partners?!" Gohan asked. Babidi and Dabura said something. "That was awful." Goku commented. "This is insane!" Marco said. Rachel rolled her eyes. "Had to say it sooner or later."
Jake crawled over to Marco. Jake said something to Marco in a low voice. Marco looked taken aback but nodded. Rachel and Cassie watched them. "What are they up to?" Rachel whispered to Cassie. "Don't know."
What's going on? Ax asked. Everyone watched as Babadi and the other guy went inside, leaving Dabura behind. Dabura looked up at their hiding place. "Like I said before, I've got a bad feeling about this." Dabura began to power up.
SK gasped. "He knows that we're here!" Vegeta exclaimed. Dabura vanished and flew up the side of the mountain. He held his arm out, his right hand inches from Kibeto's face. Kibeto cried out is surprise and shrunk back, but it was too late. Taken off guard, the Animorphs and Z fighters watched as Dabura blasted Kibeto and laughed. Kibeto screamed.
"Kibeto!" SK yelled. "Darn it!" Goku yelled. He jumped up and attacked, but Dabura easily dodged. Vegeta tried punching him, but Dabura blocked the punch and Vegeta landed back on the mountain. Suddenly, Dabura spit at Krillin. Krillin tried to dodge, but the spit hit the side of his face. "Oh no, Debura's spit. . ." SK began to say.
"What?!" Piccolo asked. Piccolo charged at Dabura. "Piccolo!" Goku yelled. Then Dabura spit at Piccolo. SK gasped and Piccolo landed. Then Dabura spit at Cassie. Cassie gasped. Suddenly, Jake instinctively threw himself in front of her. The spit hit him instead. "Jake!" Cassie cried.
Krillin began screaming as he was turning to stone. Vegeta gasped. Soon, Krillin was a statue. Piccolo also began turning to stone, then Jake. "Piccolo! Krillin! Jake!" Goku cried. But it was too late to help them, Jake and Piccolo had already been turned to stone. Goku spun around and asked SK "What's happened to them?!" "They've been turned to stone." SK explained. Goku gasped. Cassie began to cry. Marco looked pale. Ax looked shocked. Rachel's eyes were wide. Nothing was given away though at Tobias's fierce stare.
"Anyone touched by Dabura's spit is turned to stone." SK continued. "But. . ." Goku began. He ran to Piccolo. "Don't touch them!" SK yelled. "Why not?!" Goku asked. "They've been turned to stone! If you touch them and they break, then they'll never be brought back to normal!" SK explained.
"Oh no. . ." Gohan said, turning to Piccolo, then Krillin, then Jake. He glared angrily at Dabura. Dabura laughed. "Damn you!" Goku yelled. "Go away! No one can oppose Babidi." Dabura laughed, flying back into the ship. Gohan ran up to the end of their spot on the mountain, followed by Vegeta, then Rachel, then Marco, then Ax, then SK, then finally, Goku.
Goku examined Piccolo, Gohan examined Krillin, and Rachel examined Jake. Vegeta watched on, still surprised at what happened. Goku turned away from Piccolo. "Supreme Kai, you said that they couldn't be brought back to normal if they're broken, right? Does that mean there's a way to bring them back to life?" "Only after Dabura's dead." SK answered. "So there is a way." Goku said. He then smiled and got a look of determination on his face.
Rachel comforted Cassie. "Let's go, Dad! You're going, aren't you? We have to help Krillin and Piccolo." Gohan asked. "Of course! Let's go!" Goku replied. They both flew down the mountain. SK gasped. "Don't go! Don't fall for his plans!" Goku and Gohan turned around. "Going into his spaceship is exactly what Babidi wants! We have to observe a little longer!" SK said.
We can't let Krillin and Piccolo stay like that!" Goku said. "Nor can I!" Gohan added. "Animorphs, are you coming?" Goku asked. But we're leaderless. . . Tobias said. "Nope. Jake told me before he got turned into stone that if anything happened to him then I'm leader. I'm better at tactics than any of you anyway." Marco said. "Oh no. When we have to listen to Marco, I KNOW we're all doomed." Rachel moaned.
"We're going." Marco said. Goku nodded and he and Gohan began to fly towards the ship again. SK gasped. Marco, Cassie, and Ax morphed to bird again. Sorry, but we can do all the observing in the world and it still won't change anything. Let's go. Marco said. He, Cassie, Tobias, and Ax followed Goku and Gohan. Vegeta walked up to SK. "Sorry. Patience has not always been our greatest virtue." Vegeta said, then followed, Rachel right behind him. SK reluctantly followed. Goku, Gohan, and the Animorphs, minus Jake (A/N: Rachel is now a Z fighter.) landed outside the ship and ran up to the door. Gohan and Goku peered inside, but all they were able to see was a dark tunnel dropping straight down. Vegeta and Rachel landed a few feet behind them and walked over to the ship.
"This is a ship? It looks nothing like a bug fighter or a blade ship." Rachel commented. Gohan looked curiously at her. Goku looked over at Gohan. "Okay, lets go." Goku said. "Right!" Gohan replied. Goku then dropped into the ship, followed by Gohan, then Vegeta, then Rachel, then the Animorphs. They landed in a circular, well-lit room.
"What is this place? It's just an empty room." Goku asked. The Animorphs, minus Tobias of course, demorphed. "There's a door over there. Should we break it down?" Gohan asked. "I dunno." Cassie replied, no longer crying. "Lets do it!" Rachel said. Marco put his head in his hands. "She just had to say it sooner or later. Now I KNOW we're doomed." He said, mimicking Rachel.
"Huh?" Goku asked, looking towards the hole they came in. SK landed in the room. "So, you decided to come too?" Goku said. SK looked angry. "Only because you all are being foolish." He reminds me of a few Andalite warriors I've had as teachers. Ax whispered to the Animorphs. Marco and Rachel snickered. Cassie grinned. Tobias's fierce hawk glare gave nothing away.
The entrance closed. Great, now we're stuck in here. Tobias moaned, whose hawk instincts did not like to be in closed areas. "Don't worry." Gohan said. "It looks like after you enter this ship, there's no getting out until you defeat Babidi." SK explained. Goku stared at the ceiling. "All we have to do is defeat Babidi. . ."
"Yeah, all we have to do is defeat this psycho wizard, all of his minions, and a big red freak that can turn people to stone. Yep, sounds easy enough." Marco said sarcastically. "Hmph. If I wanted to get out, I'd destroy this ship." Vegeta said. "Don't! If you create a shock, Majin Buu could be resurrected!" SK cried.
"You're underestimating Babidi and Majin Buu. Even if Majin Buu isn't at full power, he's strong enough to kill us and destroy Earth instantly!" he continued. Vegeta looked away without replying. They stood in silence for a few moments. Rachel sighed. "I'm bored." she commented.
Suddenly, the door opened. "Bout time." Marco muttered. Everybody watched. In the door stood the guy they saw earlier with his arms crossed. He stepped out and laughed. "Welcome to the first stage. My name is Poipoi." the guy said. "First stage?" Gohan asked. "What's that?" Goku asked.
Poipoi pointed at the floor. "Master Babidi is at the bottom level. However, you will have to defeat warriors on each stage to descend." he paused, and when he got no response, he said, "I am your opponent on the first stage, which means you're all going to die here." "Baka. I think he just likes to hear himself talk." Rachel muttered. "What?!" Poipoi yelled.
"How should we decide who's fighting first?" Goku asked. "How about rock, paper, scissors?" Cassie asked. "Okay." Gohan said. "You gonna fight?" Goku asked Cassie. "Nah, I doubt I have any morphs that's strong enough." Cassie said. "Okay."
Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and Rachel got into a circle and began playing rock, paper, scissors. Poipoi watched in bewilderment. SK looked just as confused. "This is so stupid." Marco muttered. Vegeta called scissors. "Scissors win." Vegeta said. "Excuse me. . .Are you planning to fight him yourself?" SK asked.
Vegeta crossed his arms. "Of course. Against him, I'm more than strong enough." "I think we just found someone more arrogant than the Yeerks." Marco whispered to Cassie.
"Babidi said you were strong and that I should be careful, but it looks like you all are just a bunch of idiots." Poipoi laughed. "Isn't Babidi the idiot? Because he didn't observe us better, you're going to regret it. It just so happens that the strongest people in the universe are here on Earth." Vegeta said.
"You're the strongest?" Poipoi laughed. He disappeared and reappeared at the other end of the room. He disappeared again. "You shouldn't underestimate him! Babidi has assembled the strongest fighters from across the universe!" SK cried. Goku patted him on the shoulder. "Calm down. Let Vegeta take care of it." He said calmly. SK gasped.
"But. . ." SK started to say. Poipoi appeared again. "You will never leave here." He disappeared and appeared in front of the Z fighters and the Animorphs. "All the damage that you take will be energy that this room absorbs." He disappeared, then reappeared a few feet closer. "And it will go straight to Majin Buu." Vegeta smirked. "Now that I've heard that, I don't have to worry. If I don't get hurt, my energy won't be taken."
Poipoi appeared next to him. "That's right. Unfortunately, that's impossible if you have to fight me!" He jumped back and landed near the wall. He laughed. "He's getting on my nerves." Vegeta said. He disappeared and reappeared in front of Poipoi with a grin and clenched fists.
"That's enough talking. Let's get this over with." Vegeta said. Poipoi grinned. "Come and get me." Vegeta said. Vegeta and Poipoi prepared to face off. Goku, Gohan, Rachel, Marco, and Tobias watched in anticipation. Cassie looked worried. Ax raised his tail a little higher in case of trouble. SK was also worried. "Vegeta!" he yelled.
Vegeta stared at Poipoi while Poipoi adopted fighting pose. Suddenly, he leapt into the air and flew at Vegeta.
Author's note-Oh, aren't I evil? A cliffhanger. Mwahahahahaha! Sorry, I just had to do that. ^_^;; For Jake fans, just to let you know, I have nothing against Jake. By the way, thanks for all the reviews so far! I'll have the next chapter out either today or tomorrow, so come back soon! In the meantime, R&R! See you soon! Ja ne and HAPPY NEW YEAR! :-)
I DO NOT OWN DBZ OR ANIMORPHS! If I did then I would probably be the happiest person in the world, but sadly I'm not, so I don't. SO DON'T SUE! Got it? Good. Now on with the fic! Enjoy!
