There was a horrible dying scream from somewhere within
the depths of the spaceship. Pui-Pui appeared, looking nervous.
"Master Babidi, Yakon has eaten another henchman."
"Good!" Babidi chuckled, delighted. "He's got such an appetite! Very well, Dabura, we are now ready to find a source of energy. Then, we will resurrect Majin Buu."
Dabura tapped at the flight controls. "And where would you have me travel to, Master?"
"Well, we have two choices. First, there is the Planet Pepertua, home of Raw Energy, where energy floats around just free for the taking! Then there's a horrible little planet called Earth where nobody of consequence lives and we'll take years to get all the energy we require."
Dabura nodded. "Then it is obvious where we shall be heading."
"That's right, Dabura. Set a course for Earth!"
"What!?"
"Hey! Do what I say!" Babidi's eyes narrowed and he concentrated his dark magic. "Feel the pain of defying your master!"
Something like a small mosquito seemed to bite Dabura on the ear. "Ouch," he said dutifully. "I writhe in pain, Lord Babidi."
The spaceship emerged through the dark pall surrounding Yakon's galaxy, and then whirred off at immense speeds into the universe. It skimmed past nebulous clouds of gas, and whirled around dancing stars and wayward comets, heading erratically towards its destination.
Babidi decided to wait out the journey on the lowest floor, next to his cocoon. He rubbed it lovingly. "Oh, Majin Buu! You'll soon be awake, and we'll fulfil my father's destiny. The entire universe will be crushed beneath our combined powers."
"Master Babidi? You called?"
"Ah, Pui-Pui! When we arrive on Earth, I'd like to hide the spaceship and lay low for a few years. You see, I'm pretty sure somebody is on our trail..."
Behind them...
"Can't this ship go any faster, Kibito?"
"I'm sorry, master. I am incapable of matching Babidi's speed."
"Oh, gosh darn!" Kaioshin slammed his pale fist onto the controls, badly damaging the viewscreen that currently displayed Babidi's spaceship getting further and further away. "We just can't catch up to them, no matter what we do!"
"Perhaps if I were to teleport us on to Babidi's spaceship with my Kai Kai ability?"
"No, Kabito," said Kaioshin. "That's exactly what Babidi would be expecting."
"But the one thing I'd never expect," Babidi told Pui-Pui, "Is for Kibito to appear with his Kai-Kai ability and bring Kaioshin with him. I don't think that would ever happen."
"Fascinating," said Pui-Pui.
"What we'll have to do is try to work out where they're going, and once there, we'll track them down. Then we'll finish off Babidi and finally the universe will be saved from Majin Buu."
"Don't worry. We will surely catch him before he manages to bring Majin Buu to life."
"This is what Dai Kaioshin would have wanted," said Kaioshin, tears beginning to form in his eyes. "I was left all alone, Kibito. They were my family, and sometimes I feel that just by surviving, I failed them... maybe I was meant to die, instead of Dai Kaioshin. Perhaps he would have done a better job than I did."
"There, there." Kibito patted Kaioshin on the shoulder. "You're doing a good job."
"Yes, but Kibito, you HAVE to say that. You're always grovelling and agreeing with everything I say."
"Of course, master."
Kaioshin's eyes narrowed, and he glared at the spaceship that was now only a speck in the distance. "Babidi," he muttered. "For those that your creature killed, I will be sure to find you and show you no mercy. I'll do it for all the Kaioshin, and for all the innocent people your father killed - and for all the innocent people that YOU would kill, if we gave you the chance."
"Yes, master."
"Oh, shut up, Kibito."
"Good!" Babidi chuckled, delighted. "He's got such an appetite! Very well, Dabura, we are now ready to find a source of energy. Then, we will resurrect Majin Buu."
