Chapter 40: Recovery
(When text goes from like thisto normal again, that's my version of showing the "two sides" talking in the same sentence. Technically, there is only one, but this makes it easier to read. And when you "read this." it means the two sides are in unison. The rest of the time when text in is like this it will mean thoughts or thinking.)
Babi-Dee and Dabura were outside the ship watching Buu parade around as Gohan and Supreme Kai watched. Buu was actually kind of cute, not that it mattered. All that mattered was that Babi-Dee kept his word.
"This infantine creature is the fear of the universe?" Dabura asked.
"Yes, just wait until he fights." I sneered at Dabura.
"Oh, my dear, how did you do it so quickly?" Babi-Dee asked.
"I beat the snot out of Goku and Vegeta with one blast."
"Quite impressive indeed."
"It was fun." I said cockily.
They are my friends.
They were in my way.
"Buu!" Majin Buu cried out.
"Buu, destroy Supreme Kai!" Babi-Dee ordered.
"Buu no wanna!"
"What! Of all the- hey, where are you going?" Babi-Dee was shocked as I was walking up to Buu.
"Ooh, who you? You want play with Buu?"
"No Buu. I have to tell you a secret. Do you see that man over there? He's Babi-Dee. Do you remember Bibi-Dee?" he nodded, totally paying attention. "Well, Babi-Dee is his son, and he can put you back into that ball. You don't want that, do you?"
"No, no, no!" Buu said.
"Then do as he says for a while, okay? If you do, I'll give you lots of candy later."
"Okay, Buu do!"
I walked back over, completely in control of the situation.
"What was that?" Dabura asked.
"You have to know how to talk to the big guy. He'll listen to you know, Master Babi-Dee."
"Perfect! This is wonderful!" Babi-Dee was so relieved.
Buu walked over -actually he hopped over- and began to fight Gohan. Gohan lost, what a shame. Buu was about to blast him but Supreme Kai had thrown Gohan far away into the woods.
"Master Babi-Dee, this monster is obviously too powerful to control. You must reseal it as soon as possible."
"He will obey me as long as I have dear Katherine the Slaughterer here to help me."
"Thank you, Master Babi-Dee." Calling him master felt right.
He's a sick midget that needs to die. He isn't my master.
He's keeping the Darkness away from me.
The good side of me that was left was becoming more like the true me. Soon we would be one and the same and that irritating little voice would be gone for good.
Dabura did what he thought was best and attacked Buu, throwing a spear through Buu's chest.
"My pet! Dabura, what have you done? Buu, are you okay?"
"Master, Buu is fine. Calm down and watch." Babi-Dee looked on and saw Buu pull out the spear and heal himself.
"Buu, I never knew you had such power!"
"But wait, there's more."
Dabura tried again to attack Buu, but Buu decided he was hungry.
"Buu want cookie!" Buu used that horn on his head and blasted Dabura, transforming the demon king into a life-size cookie.
"You ate him… Buu, that was marvelous!" Babi-Dee was jumping around once more as Buu ate Dabura.
If he acts like that when Dabura is killed, how will he act when we die?
Who said we were going to die?
Buu began to pound Supreme Kai, and I laughed along with Babi-Dee.
"Buu gonna to make you dead! Buu gonna to make you dead! Buu gonna to make you dead!" Buu cried over and over as he attacked Supreme Kai.
This isn't right, he can't fight back!
But that makes it easier.
He's too weak now.
Right…
"Master Babi-Dee, the Kai is dead now. There is no way he can intrude on your plans anymore."
"Yes, yes. You can stop now, Buu. He's dead."
Why did we stop Buu?
Because it was right
But who said we had to do the right thing?
"Buu? Okay!" Buu hopped back over "Now what we do?"
"You will fight me."
"And me." It was Goku and Vegeta, back to fight.
"I thought you said they were defeated." Babi-Dee said.
"Earth magic, they healed themselves. A minor triviality I overlooked, master Babi-Dee."
"You're calling him master now? How pathetic." Vegeta criticized.
"Like you never called Frieza master?"
"The difference is I never meant it!"
"Buu, please dispose of these two." Babi-Dee ordered. Buu looked at me, and I nodded. Somehow Buu took it that I was his master and not Babi-Dee.
He'll kill them.
So?
Goku and Vegeta both powered up, and I noticed that Goten and Trunks were watching on the hill. Piccolo and Krillen had been turned back from stone, and they were there as well.
What if they die?
Better now than later.
The little voice was starting to irritate me more now. It just kept pushing.
Goku and Vegeta both transformed into SSJ2. I guess my fight with them gave them the boost they needed. If you could really call it a fight.
"What a weird transformation. Do you do that as well, my dear?"
"Yes, but those two only recently became strong enough to transform to that level. I've had it for years."
"You were a much better choice for Majin."
"I thank you for choosing me over Vegeta. You truly freed me."
We watched the fight and Buu's blasts were sloppy with the aim. A couple times he nearly hit me or master Babi-Dee with a minor blast.
"Buu, watch your aim!" I cried. Buu powered up a large blast at threw it at Goku. Goku deflected it and it came right at me. I couldn't even brace for impact as the blast came at me. I couldn't help it, I screamed.
But something I couldn't explain happened. Vegeta jumped in the way. The blast was ripping him apart, and I saw a smirk on his face as he looked at me before his body disappeared.
Everyone and everything stopped then.
"Vegeta?" I said, "What happened?" the weaker part said.
"Why did he…? I would have died… I would have killed him. We were bad… We were evil…"
"He didn't have to do that!" I cried out.
Something snapped inside. It was like the good and the bad sides were fighting for control.
"He died to save me! He could have let the blast hit me! What would Mirai No Trunks think? I have to keep the Darkness away! If we're good the darkness will stay away! But master Babi-Dee said- Screw what he said! Vegeta is dead because of me!"
"Vegeta!"
I had to get rid of the Majin symbol, as long as it was there I couldn't beat my dark side. I wasn't strong like Vegeta; I couldn't fight it as long as that symbol was still embedded onto my skin. The dark side struggled to keep in control, and I struggled to move my right arm so I could make a Ki blast.
I have to remove the Majin symbol, and I know only one way how. God, Kami, Supreme Kai, forgive me, for I have sinned.
When my Ki blast was strong enough I took my right hand and blasted my left arm, removing the Majin symbol and its hold on me. The blast removed most of my arm and I collapsed.
