Author's Note:"Thanks for the reviews.I know this is starting to seem
almost exactly like DBZ,but things will change eventually.And some of you
have noticed that with Ray and Trunks' powers, Majin Buu will be
nothing.But,you may be surprised.I'm not going to say anthing else,so
here's the chapter."

Chapter 4:The First Level
Third Person
"Who were those guys?"Jessica wondered as she watched the large group fly away.
"I don't know...But,those guys that were wearing gold seemed familiar somehow,"Sarah said.
She looked down at the large stage where four of the warriors had stood just moments before.Images of people it could have been flashed before her eyes.
'Goku?No,from the way he looked eight years ago,his hair would have interrupted that hood.The same thing with Trunks's father.It could have been that three-eyed guy from Trunks's dimension,Tien....No,he was too tall.Krillin was too short....No way...It couldn't be....'her thoughts trailed off as she realized that the golden clothes were the same thing her husband wore when he defeated Kodomo.
With a smile,she recalled what Ray and Trunks had said as they disappeared:'Remember,you haven't seen the last of us!!'
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"Ashley asked.
The two smiled as they looked towards the path the warriors had taken.
-----
Every participant of the Tournament had followed Shin and his group.The only exceptions being Shura,a human,the children,they had been stuck in a room wth the announcer,and Vegito,he said he had something important to do.
"H-H-He just destroyed Dabura with a single strike!!!!"Kibito shouted.
"No,"Titus said,"He's not quite dead yet.Watch."
He picked a stone off the ground and hurled it at the 'King of Demons',Dabura.The demon had supposedly been one of the strongest fighters in the underworld,but he had quickly fallen to a single blast.The stone neared its target,only to be caught in Dabura's hand.Slowly,the creature got to his feet.His yellow,cat-like eyes narrowed at the one that had done this to him.Blood came from fresh wounds in his red skin,staining his black goatee.
"You will pay for this,mortal!!!"he shouted,flying at a high speed toward Titus.
Titus smirked as his opponent flew closer,ready to counterattack.Shin gasped when Dabura spit at the young man.The saliva was stopped by Titus's gloved hand.
"Quickly remove your glove,Titus!His spit will turn you to stone!!!"the Supreme Kai,Shin,shouted.
The wight glove started to harden,causing Titus to quickly follow Shin's orders.On the ground,the white glove turned to grey stone.
"Whew!That was a close one!Well,I better finish this guy off before he spits again,"Titus said,powering up to his lowest level.
His hair spiked up and turned blue,but not getting darker.This fight wasn't worth going to the second level for.As Dabura dashed forward,he drove his fist downwards.Titus avoided the blow,causing the demon's fist to make a deep hole in the rocky ground.With a smirk reminiscent of his father's,Titus kicked the red creature in the side of the face and sent him skidding across the ground.
"I'm getting tired of this fight,"he yawned,holding his palm outward,"I hate to say it,but...Heh,bye-bye."
His aura started to modify itself before shooting outwards,destroying its target and some of the surrounding area.
"Oh my....Quite impressive!This is amazing!With people such as these,there is no way Babidi can proceed with his plans!!"Shin exclaimed.
"Please,"Yojimbo grunted,"He wasted time.A real warrior would have noticed the danger involved and destroyed Dabura within a second.The only time you should taunt your opponent in such a way is when there is nothing that can catch you from behind.What if ol' reddy over there had decided to spit when you turned your head?"
"Hey!I don't see you fighting any major evil!"Titus shot back.
"That's because Dabura is a huge waste of time.The only reason me and Murasakige are here is to save your butts when Majin Buu is awakened,"Yojimbo said,walking past the young man and into Babidi's ship.
"I agree.You should have finished Dabura off before we all learned about that spitting thing.He could have just as easily spit at one of us before you blasted him.What would you have done if the Supreme Kai were to be turned to stone?"Murasakige asked,following Yojimbo into the ship.
Shin shook his head,"You people are impossible!"
-----
"Babidi's ship is composed of four layers.The top layer,which is where we are right now,usually houses the weakest fighters.The next two down are also used for Babidi's protection.On the fourth layer,the one where we are headed,Babidi and the egg that houses Majin Buu wait,"Shin explained.
"I still can't believe that Babidi would destroy his own men like that.That was sickening what he did to Spopovich.It isn't normal to die because of an explosion in your head,"Dart growled.
"That's how Babidi does things.After his minions do what he originally intended,he kills them.The same thing happened to the Spopovich in my dimension,"Gohan said.
"Heads up,"Murasakige pointed out as a door opened.
A strange creature stepped out.He had odd looking yellow eyes,brown skin,strange armor,and the mark of a Majin on his forehead.The head piece of his armor,or at least what they thought was armor,stretched back a few feet,causing his head to look large.
"I am Pui Pui,the guardian of the first floor of master Babidi's ship.You can consider this the last floor,because no one gets past m--"the creature started before a blast shot through him.
"Drop dead and shut up,fool,"Zapland growled,"Let us be on our way.It is bad enough that we're wasting this much time already!"
A door on the floor opened,revealing a large hole down to the second level.
-----
A small green figure stared into his crystal ball,his beady eyes narrowing,"WHAT!!!!?PUI PUI IS DEFEATED!?AND HOW DARE THEY KILL DABURA,MY STRONGEST MAJIN!!?THEY WILL PAY!!!YAKON!!!!!!!!!"
At the sound of its masters shrieking voice,a large creature stomped next to him.
Babidi's wrinkles seemed to have more wrinkles on them as he glared at the creature,"Go to the second level and kill these intruders!"
With a snarl,the large beast stomped away.
-----
"I wish our next opponent would hurry up and get here!I hate waiting,"Dart sighed.
"Would you stop doing that!If I hear one more step,I will consider YOU my next opponent and send you into oblivion!!"Zapland shouted as Yojimbo paced the floors.
Yojimbo stopped for a second before continuing his pacing.Zapland growled and fired a blast of his energy at the warrior clad in gold,only to have it caught and absorbed into Yojimbo's body.The glow of the energy traveled to his opposite arm and was fired torwards the ceiling.
'Woah,I've never seen that technique.Quite impressive....Wait a second...I have seen that attack done by an Android before.It wasn't exactly like that,but close,'Gohan eyed the two warriors that had accompanied Shin,'Who..Or rather,what are you?'
A door opened,causing everything to pause.An extremely large creature squeezed through the small opening.Gohan smirked at the green beast that towered over even Kibito.His father had easily destroyed this creature in his dimension.So now it was time for Gohan to follow in his father's footsteps.
"That is Yakon,a creature from a planet in another Solar System where no light reaches it.Gohan,as I'm sure you know a way to defeat this creature,please do so,"Shin said with a confident smile.
"You don't have to worry about me.I won't even need the Mystic Power Up for this one,"Gohan replied.
As he walked toward the creature,the Saiyan couldn't help but grin as the area darkened and his vision was halted.Though he couldn't see three inches in front of him or sense Yakon,he knew exactly what to do.The entire room was then filled with a Super Saiyan light.
