A/N: You'll notice some changes to Majin Buu and his history as the story progresses, it's my take on him (and to me a more coherent transformational/evolutional progression). I think you should find it interesting. Also things are about to get very interesting. Oh, and expect a number of twists as the story progresses, things should be very interesting from here on out. Very interesting indeed. Also appearing for the first time in this chapter is a new character of my own design, Shiko.
Chapter Eighteen - Impact
"Supreme Kai, wait up!" Goku shouted flying up behind them with Gohan and the others in tow.
"Goku, have you come to help?"
"Well, I don't know what you're doing, but I've got a message. King Kai contacted me before my match against Matrix. He said there's a problem out in another quadrant of the galaxy. Even Pikkon, the strongest person in otherworld, couldn't stop it. They need you back in otherworld."
Shin looked at Goku for a while as they flew along then shook his head. "Whatever it is can't be as bad as what's happening here."
"What is happening here?" Piccolo asked. "I mean why is the Supreme Kai on Earth?"
"A great evil is here, about to be awoke after centuries of being locked away. Thousands of years ago there was a powerful wizard named Bibidi who wished to destroy the universe. He used his magic to gather all the evil on his planet into a single concentrated entity called Majin Buu. Buu is the most powerful monster this universe has ever seen. He destroyed countless worlds and entire galaxies in the hundred years he was free.
"Kibeto and I managed to intercept Bibidi while he was on his way here to Earth, he'd sent Buu ahead of him inside a magical shell that would prevent him from escaping until Bibidi arrived. With Majin Buu unable to protect him we stop Bibidi but left Buu's shell here on Earth."
"Why?" Goku asked. "If he was trapped couldn't you just destroy him?"
"No, we felt it to risky. We were uncertain of Buu's strength while inside the Shell and if he survived out attack then we'd have no way of putting him back."
"If you destroyed Bibidi then how can this Buu be brought back?" Krillin asked.
Kibeto answered, "Bibidi had a son named Bobidi. It's Bobidi who is here on Earth to revive Majin Buu and finish his father's work. Spoppovitch and Yamu are under his power, enslaved to Bobidi."
"Enslaved?" asked Videl.
"Bobidi has the power to enter a person's heart and bring out the darkness within. The more evil that lies inside their heart the greater Bobidi's control, and the greater the power increase to the person." Kibeto replied.
Shin nodded. "We're following them back to Bobidi to stop him before he can revive Buu." Shin squinted, "They're landing." he said and the large group dropped down and landed on a towering rock to watch what happened below them. A few hundred yards back Hiroshi and Da'kar pulled to stop and watched the Z fighters descend.
"Well brother, what should we do?" Da'kar asked. "Do we land and see what's happening?"
"I..." /What's this power I feel? There's something here..../ Hiroshi nodded. "We land with them. This could be something big..."
"Then it's not my imagination, that tugging at my mind?"
Hiroshi glanced at his brother. /Hadn't thought he was that advanced yet to be able to sense that power.../ "No, but I'm not sure of the source." With that he started forward again and a moment later he and Da'kar were standing with the Z fighters.
"Hiroshi?" Gohan asked in surprise.
"Hello Gohan. Couldn't help but be interested when all of you suddenly took off." Then Hiroshi turned to look at Shin, after looking him over for a moment he bowed slightly from the waist. "Supreme Kai. That was quite a story you told on the way here."
"You heard?" Hiroshi and Da'kar nodded.
"We may be need your help." Gohan said looking at them. "If this Buu is revived."
"Shh, look." Shin said.
Everyone looked down below them as a tall red man and a short yellow man stepped from the structure on the plain. Kibeto's eyes went wide. "That's Dabura!"
"Who?" Asked 18.
Shin looked back. "Dabura, king of demons. Next to Buu he's probably the strongest being there is."
/Doubt that./ Hiroshi thought looking up at the sky then he looked back down. "So the yellow guy is Bobidi?"
"Yes. He's not very strong but his magic is impressive."
"Hmph." Vegeta grunted. "I've got a tournament to get back to." slowly his feet began to lift off of the ground.
"Vegeta!" Goku cried. "What are you doing?"
"Ending this now. I'll just blast the lot of them and put a stop to the whole thing."
"No!" Shin screamed. "Any energy explosions could cause Majin Buu to awaken. We have to go down and..." Shin was cut off as Vegeta zipped past him. "Vegeta! No, come back!"
"No chance of that! Kakkarotto's only got one day on this planet and I intend to get my fight against him!" Vegeta roared.
"Impulsive." Dabura said turning to look up at Vegeta. "But it's not going to get you very far." As Vegeta neared Dabura vanished. Vegeta came to a quick stop and turned blocking as best he could Dabura's fist. The attack still knocked him into the ground. He exploded up out of the hole directly at Dabura transforming along the way.
"I haven't the time for you!" he shouted. An instant later his fist connected with a loud crack against Dabura's jaw. The two fought close range for a time but Dabura was getting the best of Vegeta. Suddenly one of the Demon King's fists slammed into Vegeta's face and knocked him into the rock where the others were still standing forcing them to scatter.
As Vegeta pulled out of the rock he froze. "What the hell is THAT!" he shouted eyes wide. Shin looked down toward the building. /Bobidi's gone! He must have headed below to revive Buu.... wait.... the power's not coming from below..../
Hiroshi turned his eyes toward the sky. "We've got company Da'kar." Gohan and the other's looked at him.
Da'kar nodded. "What do you think brother? Is it the Elite?"
Hiroshi shook his head. "Don't think so, I only sense three powers nearing." he squinted in concentration while the focus of everyone else was on them. "Damn, it's Shiko's team, I can't believe they tracked us here!"
Da'kar shook his head. "I don't understand it, we were careful to not leave a trail."
"It doesn't matter now. Looks like we have no choice but to make our stand against them here and now." then he turned to the others. "Sorry to have put you in this situation, but it looks like some of our 'friends' have followed us." A few seconds later three streaks of light surged down through the sky and impacted the ground a few miles away.
