{Theme Song}


{Narrator:} The third fight in the Tenka-Ichi Martial Arts competition,
has been completed with Ryoga as the winner.

{Narrator:} However... what will happen now, with Ryoga in danger?

* * * [Ryoga's Helpless!?] * * *


{Announcer:} What!

{Audience Member 1:} What is that guy doing?

{Ryoga:} What... the?

*Wolf grabs Ryoga and is trying to stab him with a weird device*


{Wolf:} [Thinking] Damn he gotten stronger since I've last seen him...

{Ryoga:} Let go of me!

* A struggle ensues*

{Herb:} How can Wolf still be hiding his power? It can't be him...
IT IS! IT'S SAFFRON!

{Ryoga:} [Thinking] I'm dead meat...

{Announcer:} Wolf has been disqualified from the tournament!

{Audience Member 7:} Terrible!

{Audience Member 2097:} Can you believe him?

{Audience Member 304:} Stop it!

{Ranma:} I see.

{Ranma:} I'm going to use Ryoga. I'm very sorry.
And no matter what happens, please don't do anything.

{Cologne:} Wha...what!?

{Shampoo:} What do Uubu mean?


*Ranma starts gathering his energy*

{Cologne:} What's going to happen to Ryoga?
{Ranma:} I think Saffron is going to steal his energy.
{Ranma:} But like I said, don't get involved
{Cologne:} What will happen to Ryoga?
{Ranma:} Don't worry, I don't think he will take his life
{Ranma:} His only interest is in the easiest person to steal alot of energy from...
{Saffron:} Stop strugling you pathetic landling!

{Ranma:} I don't know if I'll be able to stop that power
{Herb:} `Stop it?'
{Ranma:} Hopefully this little trick of Kaioshin's will work...
* Ranma freezes Ryoga in place*
{Ryoga:} Let me go!
{Ranma:} Damn... I didnt freeze his mouth... Oh well...
{Ryoga:} Let me go!!
{Ranma:} Please endure this...
{Akari:} I've got to save him!
{Akari:} What are you doing to my Ryoga!?
{Akari:} Why are you all just standing there watching!?
{Crowd:} He's going to kill him!
{Ranma:} Please do nothing but watch...
* Ryoga is stabbed with the strange device...*
{Saffron:} I've got all of this energy!
{Saffron:} [Thinking] That was easier than I thought...
* Saffron extends his wings and flies off *
{Ranma:} Not yet...
{Ranma:} Don't do anything yet!!
{Ranma:} Don't worry, He will soon be back to normal...
{Cologne:} What's the meaning of all of this?
{Ranma:} Now I'll follow him, careful not to let him notice me
{Shampoo:} `Follow 'em?'
{Ranma:} If you want, you can come with me, if you can fly or know
bukujutisu...
{Cologne:} Hmm...
{Akane:} What the hell...
{Shampoo:} Violent kitchen destroyer finally get up.
What do, eat your cooking?
{Akane:} Shampoo... [Getting Angry]
{Ranma:} Now is not the time to argue... hmm...
Ryoga should be alright but...
{Ranma:} Here Cologne.
[ Tosses Cologne a bean] make Ryoga eat this. Don't
argue... Just do it.
* Akari runs out of the stands to Ryoga*
{Akari:} Ryoga, are you okay?
{Akari:} Snap out of it...
{Akari:} Someone help him!
[ Cologne feeds Ryoga the bean]
{Ryoga:} Huh...
{Akari:} Ryoga-kun! [ Hugs Ryoga, Ryoga has a nose bleed and passes
out from blood loss.
{Herb:} Are you going Cologne?
{Cologne:} I suppose... Although I guess I'll need you to carry me
Herb...
{Herb:} Even though I don't like this, we need all the strong fighters
we can get
{Cologne:} What are you going to do with Ryoga, Ranma?
{Akane:} Ra...nm...a... HOW DARE YOU SHOW YOUR FACE AGAIN!
RANMA NO BAKA! [Akane brings her mallet down at Ranma but
shatters on his ki field.
{Akane:} What...
{Gokuh:} Akane... your worthless... you did nothing but hit me...
and yet you kawaiikune tomboy... I still couldn't hate you like I should
have... but after this... if my memory serves me correctly... I won't see
you again... the only reason I came here is because Dai-Kaio requested
it...
{Ranma:} But now's not the time for the past. Don't try to follow...
{Vegeta:} stand still and I'll show what a "real" martial artist is
like you insentivive...
Ranma:} You follow, you die, simple as that. Either I will kill you
or Saffron will. I don't let puny weaklings get in my way. Simple as
that... Is that clear...
{Akane:} ...
{Ranma:} I take that as a yes...
{Herb:} Let's go!
{Ranma:} Sure lets get going...
{Akari:} Where's everyone going?
{Ranma:} If you go, you'll find out... but you will die
{Ranma:} Later... [Ranma flies off carring Ryoga and Herb
flies off carring Cologne]

{Announcer:} What's going to happen to the Tenka-Ichi Budokai!?

{Saffron:} Now the Great Majin can be revived!!
{Saffron:} Lord Babidi will be overjoyed!!

{Audience Member 3:} What's going on!

{Ranma:} I'm glad you came
{Ranma:} You'll help out
{Ranma:} Without you, I could win, but the Earth would be destroyed.
{Herb:} You can't win against Saffron? But, you beat him in the past.
{Ranma:} No, I cant win without risking the safty of the Earth.
{Ranma:} No I believe he is being used by a magician
{Cologne:} Magician!?
{Ranma:} Yes
{Ranma:}Long ago, far off in space there was an
evil magician named Bibidi.
{Ranma:} One day, purely by chance, Bibidi, made an incredible
monster.
{Ranma:} The monster's name was `Buu'
{Ryoga:} `Buu?'... That's the sound farts make... He He...
{Ranma:} Majin Buu had no emotions.
{Ranma:} It was born to cause fear and to kill living things
{Ranma:} After only a few years, they caused several
hundred planets to become barren wastlands, uncapable of harboring
life ever again.
{Ryoga:} What!?
{Ranma:} At the time there were 5 Kaiohshins
{Ranma:} Any one of which could destroy Saffron with a single attack.
{Ranma:} Four of them were killed by the Majin Buu
{Cologne:} That's powerful...
{Ranma:} The Majin Buu's power was enough to hurt Bibidi...
{Ranma:} So when he needed a rest, he sealed the Majin
up so that it couldn't move...
{Ranma:} ...and before the Majin's seal could be released
{Ranma:} Kai-Oo-Shin was able to kill Bibi Dee
{Ranma:} He didn't try to destroy the Majin, but left in where it was
{Herb:} Why not?
{Herb:} He should have destroyed it then
{Ranma:} He thought it best to disturb the seal as little as possible
{Ranma:} And only the Magician Bibidi knew how to break the seal...
{Ranma:} But, the Magician Bibidi had a child
{Ranma:} He has the same evil heart his parent had
{Ranma:} His name was Babidi.
{Ranma:} Over 1200 years ago my mentor, Son Gokou fought and
defeated 'MajinBuu'. However Majin Buu had a good side that was
separated from his evil side. And Uubu was the reincarnation of
the evil 'Majin Buu'. I do not know how Saffron is being controlled, it
would appear that Babidi has been ressurected. I will do all I can to
stop him.
{Ranma:} It appears as if we are in for a long fight...
{Narrator:} A large part of the secret of what i
s happening behind the scenes at the Martial Arts
Competition has been revealed
{Narrator:} Ranma's true target is to stop the Magician Babidi
from releasing the Majin Buu once again.

{Ranma:} Hiya! I'm Ranma!
{Ranma:} It looks like our next enemy is incredible dangerous!
{Ranma:} I haven't been able to really let go in a long time!!
{Ranma:} Next time on Ranma 1/2: Rebirth-- Grave of the Dragon
{Ranma:} Be sure to watch it!
{Herb:} I better not die!
