A/N: Hi!

Bra flinched when she felt a hand placed on her shoulder. Blinking, she locked eyes with the worried eyes of Goku; she also noticed that she had become the center of attention.

"Hey, Bra…what's wrong?"

"Everyone, I have something to tell you." She said, tightlipped, her fists flexing with anxiety

"But it has to be at the Lookout."

"What's so important that you can't tell us here?" Krillin asked.

"I just…I just feel safer saying it up there." She replied, hovering up into the sky. "Besides, Piccolo needs to hear this too." She faced her mother. "Mom, I want you up there too and bring the kids."

Without a word more, she flew off, hoping that the others would follow her lead. When she felt that the others did, she sped up.

Zangya…

Oh YES!

Bra's face scrunched up with disgust. It's horrible, truly awful. The connection between the two of them was very intrusive ever since they fused. Thankfully, private thoughts aren't involuntarily passed between each other…that is, if they aren't telepathically synced. Unfortunately, that isn't all that is passed, oh no, it gets worse; their feelings…both emotional and physical actually, are passed when their telepathic link is opened. Of course, they can seal it shut, which they usually do, but she figured that the Hera-jin either forgot to do so or didn't care enough to do it.

What's worse was that she was starting to feel everything, so much that she nearly cut their link right there and then, but her friend needed to be present so that she didn't have to repeat herself. She stuttered, feeling dirty.

Oh shit!

Z-Zangya, listen I need you both at the Lookout, she flinched when she felt the spike of anger flare coming from her friend.

You are in-interfering, Bra! Don't ruin th-this for me! I NEED this! So screw off!

Bra bit her lip. Ugh! Zangya stop that and meet us at the damn Lookout!

Bra groaned, both annoyed...and more…more than she ever wanted to feel from her friend.

Zangya, I'm being serious! This is life or death! You know I would never bother you if it wasn't!

Quietness followed for so long next that the half Saiyan thought the Hera-jin had ended their communication. Thankfully, that wasn't the case.

We'll meet you there.

Bra sighed with relief, smiling. Good. Don't worry, I promise I won't-

Click.

Bra blinked. Did she just say click and close the link to get the satisfaction one would get from hanging up angrily on the phone? Yes…yes she did…

She smiled. And that's why I love her!

Pulling up to her side, Goku made his voice known. "It's about it, right?"

She going to play dumb, but thought better of it, knowing that she had told Goku many years ago about the reason for her time traveling to this timeline. Well, he didn't know the full story, and that was because she hadn't wanted to talk about it at the time; that and the Androids of course.

Bra nodded, confirming the full Saiyan's guess. He then smiled reassuringly, brushing his soul's aura against hers, silently telling her that everything will work out for the best in the end.

It didn't work.

Once the gang landed on the Lookout, Piccolo waiting for their arrival, they all eyed Bra, patiently waiting for her to speak. When she didn't say anything for over a minute and just continue to look at Mr. Popo's garden, the Saiyan Prince snapped.

"Well? Are you going to tell us why the hell you brought us over here?!"

Bulma slapped his arm. "Don't push her! Can't you tell that she's nervous!?" she scolded.

"That's not it…not completely. Two people are still missing and I'm waiting for them because I'm not repeating myself again." Bra said, glaring at her father; Vegeta had no problem glaring back.

Not a minute later Zangya and Yamcha stepped onto the pristine white tile of the Lookout, the two's hair disheveled and all unkempt. While the Alastor wielder's eyes dropped to the floor, clearly embarrassed, the Hera-jin was anything but that. Her icy blue eyes were glowering with annoyance, annoyance directed at her friend; she did not say a word.

Glad that everyone was present, she began.

"Guys…tomorrow is the day that a villain that goes by the name of Majin Buu will appear…and…it is the thing that is supposed to kill all of us along with the planet."

"What?!" Krillin exclaimed, shocked, voicing everyone's thoughts. "That's random! What do you mean we are supposed to die? And who's Majin Buu?!"

Holding her tears back, she went on. "I-I didn't come here from a time machine for a permanent vacation. I came here because I was going to die."

Bulma gasped, realization hitting her like a ton of bricks. I nearly forgot…

Bra sighed unhappily, loathing that she was going to tell the gang of her terrible past, the terrible disaster that downright destroyed her life and blew her world into space dust. But it was all for a good cause, wasn't it? If she told them of the events that occurred in her reality, they'd have a higher chance of surviving this whole ordeal, right? Yes, yes we do and I-I honestly feel so damn stupid for keeping it from them for so long! I guess I figured that if I didn't talk about it and tell the entire story to anyone here, it wouldn't come true, that things wouldn't change. Bra mentally laughed…Me already being here has been disrupting the freaking timeline for years now…and also, Future Trunks says hi!

Done berating herself, she began her tale…

Bra's Past & The Tournament

"Okay, I'm going to explain only the most important things, but please keep in mind that things might not turn out the same here. Remember what happened with Future Trunks. Nothing went like Trunk said it would. The threat ended up being worse than he originally thought it'd be here."

"So, tomorrow, during the tournament, there will be these two participants that everyone should keep an eye out for. One of them is named Yamu and the other, Spopovich."

Videl gasped.

"I know the second one, Spopovich! He has challenged my dad for the title more times than I can count and he always fails!"

Vegeta laughed. "If your father, who is a weakling, can defeat this Spopovich, then why should we worry?"

Surprisingly, that insult to her father did not bother Videl in the slightest; that made her feel awful.

"Oh sure, normally they are weak, but an evil wizard, named Babidi will cast a spell on them to increase their strength. This means even if you have no control over your ki, his spell will instantly grant you that, once cast. However, in return for power, you will have to give up your free will. Simply put, you will become his faithful servant to do his biddings. You will be able to tell if they are his servants if you see an M tattooed on their forehead; their body gets kinda, uhh disturbingly muscularly and veiny."

"And this doesn't have to be a request does it?" Piccolo asked, his arms crossed.

Bra's grim look answered his question. "He can force it on you, but only if you have evil in your heart….even if just a little."

"But is that even avoidable then?" everyone turned to Bulma. "I mean we all have dark thoughts. No one is perfect ya know."

"Sure, but it's not those kinds of dark thoughts. We are talking about those who love to cause pain and suffering for the hell of it. They relish torturing their victims before killing them or hell, just killing people in general without any remorse works."

Eyeing everyone carefully, she saw some of them gulp nervously, mainly Gohan, Videl. Zangya, however, looked down in shame.

Bra gave half a smile. "I don't think most of you will have a problem with this. Videl, you don't have to worry about Gohan. He's always been a kind-hearted guy. The so-called 'evil' part of him is more of a survival instinct. For some reason, when his life is threatened, he transforms however, because he had no control over it, he just attacked everything that caught his eyes. Today that has been dealt with. Piccolo, my dad (on his good days) and I trained with him so that what happened with Bojack wouldn't happen again."

Piccolo grunted. "Which he has been neglecting for the past two years." He interjected.

"That's not true! I train with all of you frequently!" Gohan defended.

"Two to three times a month will not help you stay in fighting shape, much less increase your strength and power."

"Also, if Kakarot's brat were to lose control, at his current level, I'll knock him out in one punch."

As Gohan frowned.

"Zangya…" she lifted her head when her name was called. "You're fine, trust me." The fact that you are feeling remorse and shame is telling enough. You've come a long way. If anyone should know better, it's me, thanks to our special mental sync!

Right. Her friend thought, giving a barely visible smile as she swept her bangs from her eyes.

"However you…" Eyeing her father, everyone froze, expecting the worse. "Gave your free will for more power, because you knew you couldn't beat Goku!"

While Bulma gasped in shock and hurt, the Prince did a double-take, falling back a step. "W-what?! I would do no such thing! Unlike others, I have pride! I would never just hand my body and mind for more power, especially to some bastard wizard!"

Bra's eyes didn't waver from her father's. "Well, that's what you did. However, the thing that made your case different is that that damn pride of yours prevented Babidi from taking control of you. So, father, you have a strong will, but that was only because of your hatred for Goku. You hated that he was just always one step ahead of you, so to even the odds, you decided that asking for help would be the quickest path. It truly disgusted me."

Vegeta seemed to have lost the ability to speak as all he could do was stare at his daughter, who was more disappointed in him than angry. Feeling a tug at his hand, he looked down and saw the worried and hopefully appearance across his lavender haired son's face.

"You'd really do that, dad?"

Shutting his eyes, he smirked and faced Bra. "There will be none of that rubbish here. I'd rather lose to the fool, which won't be happening, than get 'help' from someone. I'm sure Kakarot feels the same way, don't you?" he said, grinning at his rival while tousling his son's hair playfully, making the boy laugh happily.

"Right!" Goku replied, giving him a thumb up.

Bra smiled. She didn't doubt him for a second because she knew that he had most definitely changed faster in this timeline than in hers. "Good to hear. Anyway, listen carefully, when we go to the tournament, in the backroom, where everyone prepares for the matches will be two other individuals…the Supreme Kai and his attendant or bodyguard you can say, Kibito."

"The S-Supreme Kai? He's involved in this?!" Piccolo said, surprised.

"I take it you know of him because of Kami huh…" Bra replied.

"Y-yeah, I've never seen him, but I've heard of him. I honestly didn't believe he existed, however, you've confirmed he does."

Bulma's eyebrows raised under her bangs when she recalled those names from the message left from the future version of her. If she was correct, Goku's son Goten was the one that had mentioned them. She dared not to look at Chi-Chi, who was next to her. The last thing she wanted to do was for the ex-wife of Goku to question her about what was wrong and have to lie about it. I mean there is no denying it that that was her son too. It'd break her heart to know that she'd never get another son with Goku. Then again, that kiss that he gave the future me…ugh!

"I've been in Otherworld for years and never heard of him! Only of this guy named the Grand Kai! He's higher than the lesser Kais, which are the west, east, south, and north. The north Kai is King Kai!" Goku informed.

"Considering his name, he's the top guy huh, this Supreme Kai?" Tien asked.

"Yup." Turning to Kibō and Trunks, she said. "You two can have your match, just keep an eye out just in case, okay?" the boys bobbled their heads understandingly. She really hoped to keep them out of this fight. "Videl…"

The teenager's eyes rounded. "Yeah?"

"If you are put up against either Spopovich or Yamu, drop the match."

Videl's blue orbs lit up with anger. "Now hold on! I don't want to just throw the towel in without trying! Aren't I stronger here?"

"Yeah, you actually are. In my reality, you meet Gohan and the rest of us days before the tournament began. Here, you met us during the fight with Cell."

Gohan blushed, figuring that Bra just might have given away that Videl was indeed the one. I'd love that…

"Then why can't I fight them."

"They are still stronger, sorry." Videl had more to say on the subject, but Bra was faster, moving on to prevent her from asking anymore inquires. "Before that match, the Supreme Kai will introduce himself to us and tell us that whatever happens, do not interfere with the match that will put Kibito against Gohan."

Bra faced the eldest son of Goku. "When the match starts, Kibito will tell you to power up to your max. This is where Spopovich and Yamu will interfere. They will grab you and use a device that will drain your energy, energy that they will give to Babidi, who will feed it to Buu. Buu is most likely currently sealed underground somewhere on this planet. Naturally, you are going to try to break free, but the Supreme Kai will use his psychokinesis to hold you so that they can accomplish their goal."

Gohan jaw dropped. "You want me to just let them steal my energy?!"

"You won't die. Kibito has healing capabilities, like Dende. Anyway, while he's healing you, the Supreme Kai will explain that he wanted you to power up to intentional lure out Spopovich and Yamu, so that they could steal your energy and lead him to the location of Buu."

Bra paused, wanting to let the gang digest the info she had given.

"After that…" Bra sagged her shoulders in defeat. "In my reality, while Kibito was healing Gohan, we started to leave, but we were suddenly attacked by this demon guy named Dabura. Dude's red and decked out in blue clothes and wields a wicked sword. It all went down so fast, you know? Just as Kibito finished healing Gohan, Dabura blasted Kibito, into nothing. After that, h-he killed Tien along with Chiaotzu with his sword. He then cut Yamcha down the middle, spat at me, Piccolo, Krillin and Zangya and- and shit, this guy was fast, very fast!"

While Tien and Chiaotzu tried to make peace with the fact that they were killed so early in the fight, Yamcha was attempting to thrust the image of getting sliced in two out of his mind.

"Wait wait! He spat on us? Gross! Why?" Zangya said, sticking her tongue out.

Bra realized her mistake. "Oh, his spit turns people into stone. Piccolo turned first, dropped onto the ring, and broke into pieces, next Krillin and afterward you, Zangya. Since I was the last person he spat at, I was able to dive and catch you before you crashed. As I was turning to stone, I heard Dabura say that the only way to turn everyone back to normal is to kill him. Unfortunately, if you crash and shattered to pieces, you're dead for good. Piccolo, because of his regeneration abilities, was able to pull himself together once Dabura was killed. I was told later on that Gohan had managed to kill him while in Babidi's ship. When the three of us came to, just as Piccolo finished regenerating, father, Goku, Gohan and the Supreme Kai appeared. That's when I saw father have the M on his forehead, demanding Babidi to teleport them elsewhere so he and Goku could battle-"

And so, Bra Briefs proceeded with her story of the destruction of her world. She explained how while Goku and her dad went to fight, her, Piccolo, Zangya, and Goten (who she left out for Chi-Chi's sake more than Goku's) were transported back to Babidi's spaceship, Buu's release, Gohan's defeat and seeming going ghost along with the Supreme Kai. She went on with explaining Buu's techniques, emphasizing how absorption worked and potential methods on avoiding capture.

Bra made sure to tell them the most crucial things. She wanted to make sure they had as much as an advantage over Buu as possible. Once everything was said and done, she told them that it'd be smart to gather the Dragon Balls and bring them to the Lookout. That way, they have a backup plan in the event that things go to shit.

Before everyone knew it, the day was over. They had gotten all the last-minute training they could, well except for Yamcha, who had volunteered to search and gather the Dragon Balls, Zangya insisting on tagging along. After making sure to get a goodnight's sleep (which no one really could, especially Bra), the day was finally here.

Forehead wrinkling in distress, the female half-Saiyan watched as contestants drew their draft balls while others, who already had, were pumping themselves up as their matches were going to be called soon. Before they entered the waiting room, Bra had decided that she wasn't going to participate, much to Goku and Vegeta's disappointment. Not only was she too distracted to fight, but her weaken state would just stress her body. They needed as much power as possible, so she thought that it'd be best to save hers.

Goku, who had unsurprisingly found himself put up against the Saiyan Prince, (Bra had told him that it would happen and unfortunately, it had much to her disappointment) appeared as cheerful as ever. She didn't know how to feel about this, his attitude that is. On one hand, she was thrilled that the Saiyan was more himself than he was since before their infidelity. In the other, well today was the day they are supposed to freaking die.

Where the hell is the Supreme Kai? He and his bodyguard were supposed to be here she thought, remember the creepy smile the Kai gave upon their first encounter.

Right now, the junior division, which had been created for minors and in turn had pissed her brother off as he wouldn't get to fight any of the adults, was in its finals. It wasn't surprising that Kibō and Trunks had made it there. She had told them to hold back, meaning no ki and no flying and definitely no Super Saiyan. They listen…until now. Bra slapped her forehead and groaned when she witnessed her brother and son fly into the air, turning their battle into an aerial one. She swore when Kibō recklessly fired a Final Shine Attack at Trunks, who had to deflect it by punching it away so that the astonished audience wouldn't get vaporized. And finally, she nearly interrupted the match but was stopped thanks to Goku when Kibō, the sneak, had transformed into a Super Saiyan to knock his uncle out of the ring. Unluckily for her son, he had missed and her brother had retaliated by quickly transforming himself and drop kicking him outside the ring, winning the match.

Vegeta laughed.

The spectators blinked and stayed silent…then they went into a frenzy uproar, thoroughly entertained of the awesome special effects that went into this final match of the junior division. In their eyes, this was obviously the champ's way of giving them a show for continuously supporting him as their champion.

"I got to give it to that boy of yours, Kakarot. He knew that his transformation was barely noticeable so he used it to his advantage to beat Trunks." Vegeta smirked. "Too bad my son did the same regardless of his obvious change in appearance!"

Goku smiled. "Well, at least he tried. I do wonder who would win in an all-out battle!"

As Vegeta boasted about how superior his son was, Bra stiffened. In the far corner, she saw two individuals that she didn't recognize; a blue-skinned woman and man. The woman was casually leaning against the wall, her eyelids sealed shut while the man was standing straight as a board; he was strange and robotic-like.

Switching to the woman, Bra found her gorgeous, what with her striking neck length white hair and tight leather red and black battle suit. As for the man, he also had white hair, though it was short and spikey. He too wore a red and black, however, he had additions such as an armored-like white and gold chest, and a strange tube curled around his neck like a snake; he had emotionless red eyes. They weren't the scary type...well they wouldn't have been if the guy would just freaking blink!

As though she felt that she was being watched, the woman's eyes snapped open, revealing chilling grey eyes, ones that unlike the man, made the half Saiyan want to turn away; and she did.

But that wasn't the only reason she turned around, watching the opening match of the adult division, which consisted of two guys that she could give two shits about seeing. It was the-

'M'… on her forehead…unfreakin-believable and what's worse is that I can't even sense their energy signature! And just where the hell are Spopovich and Yamu?! Bra started to panic, her breathing increasing while her throat tightened as anxiety rose into her psyche, making her stomach churn unpleasantly.

"Calm down and breathe." Her ears perked up when she heard a voice. In her dazed condition, she could not discern the voice, but because it sounded like it had good intentions, she decided to listen to it. She took deep and long breaths into her lunges, continuing to listening to the voice, which was becoming clearer and clearer as the fog that her panic attack had induced diminished. After about a minute, she gained her composure and the voice became recognizable.

"Good. Now what the fuck was that?"

Bra's faced her orange-haired friend and opened her mouth to respond but stopped as she once again received a shock. Some distance away, she finally saw them; the Supreme Kai and the large form of his red attendant.

And he was staring right at her with confusion written on his face.

Why?

Frowning like he had figured something out and heard her thoughts, he walked toward her, his attendant right behind him. Once he was standing in front of her, he spoke.

"You are not from around here, are you?"

Bra visibly swallowed thickly. She had mentally prepared herself for their encounter, but never about this. She'd be lying if it hadn't crossed her mind in the past, the possibility of the Kai bringing up the subject of her existence here, but out of a sudden like this, in such a blunt manner, well it got her shaking in her boots.

She trembled when responding. "Wh-what do you mean?"

"You know."

"N-no I don't. I think you are-"

"Don't play stupid." The Supreme Kai said firmly, leaving no room for argument.

Bra sighed, deciding to spill. "Fine, I-"

"Hey, I don't give a rat's ass that you are the Supreme Kai! You just don't go around, demanding answers like this!" Zangya intervened, her arms crossed, wearing a frown.

The red man, who Bra knew was Kibito, growled in rage. "How dare you talk to the Supreme Kai like this?! You are a mortal, you should act like one!"

The Hera-jin snored rudely. "I don't care."

"You insolent -"

"That's enough."

The red attendant jaw dropped. "But master, how can you let a mere mortal talk to you with such disrespect-?"

"Enough, Kibito. My apologies, I perhaps came on a little too strong." The Kai said, sounding much friendlier than before "I am indeed the Supreme Kai, the Eastern one that is, just as the young Hera-jin had said. However, you may call me Shin."

If the Kai knowing her race shocked Zangya, she didn't voice it. Besides, if he is who he says he is, why would it surprise her?

Seeing the change of demeanor, Bra relaxed, and answered his question. "You are right, I'm not. I came from another timeline."

Kibito was taken aback. "What, I had no idea such a thing was possible!"

Shin's brows creased. "Nor did I. Why?"

"Majin Buu." She replied bluntly.

This did surprise him, his calm appearance thrown out the window. "You know about him? That's remarkable!" he said, his lips turning upright. "Do you know what this means, Kibito?"

"That she could be our enemy!"

The Kai actually rolled his eyes at his attendant's negative response. "Or this could be the answer to defeating Buu! So was he defeated in your timeline-Oh forgive me! What is your name?"

"It's alright. I'm Bra and she's Zangya." She pointed at her friend, who grunted in reply. "Anyway, no, he destroyed my world and I just basically bailed it. I'm pretty sure he took over the universe at this point."

"Took over? I'd think he'd just destroy everything since he is a mindless beast."

Oh brother, please don't tell me they are clueless. "If he didn't have that absorption technique, he would have, though he wasn't as stupid as you may think."

The Supreme Kai grimaced, Bra glad that he had understood her after all "That's right, that is what makes him most dangerous."

"So ya'll gonna, pretend, like, we aren't here?"

Turning around to look behind her, Bra noticed that her party had been observing their exchange, most likely the entire time.

Sharpner elbowed Erasa for her rude interruption. "Please excuse this peasant, your Highness, as she knows not-"

Eighteen cuffed them upside their heads, making them yelp and shut up. "I knew I should have forced you both to remain seated with Bulma."

"That's quite alright. I've known all of you have been paying attention to us and since all of you will be playing a part in this, that saves us the trouble of repeating ourselves." He said, with a smile. "May you kindly introduce yourselves?"

"I'm Erasa, with an E!"

"Sharpner."

"Krillin."

"Eighteen."

"Tien." He had left Chiaotzu with Master Roshi, not wanting him to be a part of this fight.

"Yamcha."

"Piccolo"

"Vegeta."

"Gohan."

"Goku!"

Shin took note of the halo over Goku's head. He's dead…yet he is allowed among the living? Interesting…

"It is nice to meet all of you," Shin said. "I see that three members of your group are missing."

Looking left and right, she came into an understanding. "Oh, my son, Kibō, and my brother, Trunks are probably around here somewhere." Bra said, scratching the side of her head with embarrassment. "They are kids, so yeah I don't think they will be much help!" I really don't want them involved in this mess…but if it's necessary, well shit.

"Oh, and Videl is preparing for her match, which is up next!" Gohan said, excited to see how much stronger his girlfriend has gotten.

"Okay, now that that's over with, let's get started. First, what does everyone know?"

Bra briefly summarized what she knew and the further and deeper she explained what they might deal with, the more concerned Shin appeared to look.

"Oh dear, it truly is tragic what had happened to you." The Kai said sincerity. "However the beginning part of your story is…it has me worried…"

Bra's eyes widen. Worried, why is he worried? It's different, isn't it?! I knew it! Now I'm worrying!

"This… Spopovich and Yamu that you speak off, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with those individuals, though that could be dismissed because they are merely humans and Babidi casting a spell on them would not change that."

The tension in Bra's muscles slightly relaxed.

"Who we're familiar with are the two that you were staring at, Bra."

"The robotic guy and the lady with the freaking M." the half-Saiyan said, her expression twisting into a mixture of fear and hate.

Shin nodded, not liking that he had to tell her what he was going to next because of her background. "Those two are demons of the Demon Realm. Dabura, the demon king you mention, well they are blood-related to him; brother and sister, Mira and Towa."

And there it is, Bra thought, silently cursing. "Question. Why is it that Towa is the only one with the M symbol?"

"Interesting story about that. There was once a battle within the Demon Realm and Mira had been killed, right in front of her and Dabura's eyes. Fortunately, thanks to their advanced technology, they were able to restore him."

"That's possible?" Krillin asked, taken aback. "How they'd get his soul back?"

The Kai said, sounding oddly disappointed. "They didn't. He's just an empty shell. When he was restored, he was just a 'healthy' look carcass. Towa and Dabura were a broken mess and well, had decided to cryogenically freeze the body until they found a way to bring him back. Image their surprise when Babidi, yes, Babidi come into their realm. When they had found out that he was a wizard, Towa begged him to bring their brother back to life. Babidi said he would, but of course, there would be a price. I'm sure everyone knows where this is going, right?"

"Babidi obviously didn't appear there to help them. He went there to recruit and considering their wish to bring their brother back, they would do anything to have him back." Piccolo said.

Shin nodded. "Yes…and no. You see, Babidi didn't tell them that he was going to take their free will. He knew if he did, they'd surely kill him. So instead, he said that he'd not only revive their brother but also remove the pain of loss and increase their power so they can protect those that they loved. They agreed and before they knew it, the spell was cast, and shortly after, Mira was brought back from the dead…sort of. He was 'conscious' again, but his soul remained missing. This brings us back to the Majin symbol; one needs to have a soul to receive the seal of the Majin and because he did not have one, Babidi could not cast the spell on him, not that he needed too anyway. He made sure that when he brought Mira 'conscious' again, he would only obey him. Yes, the Majin spell would have made him stronger, but he was already a powerhouse, to begin with."

The Kai continued, wanting to finish the tale. "Thanks to the spell, Dabura and Towa did not care that their brother was soulless, completely emotionless. He was back and that was all that mattered. In fact, even if he was never brought back, they wouldn't be bothered by it. The removal of grief spell worked a little too well. Their thirst for more power was also granted, but with that came the exchange for their free will. Dabura was resistant at first but then became perfectly obedient. Towa however…she was a special case. For some reason, Towa was aware that she was fooled and was under a spell. So instead of resisting, she gave in to Babidi, letting herself become his slave. This means that unlike Dabura, she knows what she is doing, and over time, she learned to like it. So in some way, she has control of herself, that is as long as she stays loyal to Babidi. In her opinion, she had it all. She can no longer mourn for lost, she is stronger, and she had both her brothers by her side. And even if she did happen to lose her siblings, she'd still have her power and her master."

Most of the gang shivered at the disturbing story, Zangya more so as there was a great amount of similarities between Towa and her. Too similar…

Yamcha's eyes narrowed with suspicion.

Is it just me or does this…Supreme Kai sound too familiar with this story… the once wielder of Alastor, Tapion, said.

I get that feeling too. It's almost as if he was there, witnessing the entire event unfold…

That's it.

Hmmm, do you think anyone has caught onto this?

Perhaps, however, the only reason you might be aware of this could be because of Alastor.

Alastor? It can sense these things?

Tapion 'shrugged' Hell if I know Yamcha, it could be in your head for all I know.

Yamcha mentally sighed Tapion…I think I kind of like the old you.

Your fault. You are the one who had told me to 'chill out' and 'loosen up', member? Actually, if I recall, you told me to 'remove that stick up my ass' and to 'chillax'.

I'm sorry, I was having a bad day. He didn't sound apologetic in the slightest and Tapion knew this.

Anyway, I'll keep an eye on these guys just in case.

Right. And Yamcha, just to be clear, I sense nothing menacing from neither the Supreme Kai nor his attendant.

Yeah…

"Hey, where did Mira?" Bra asked. Towa was in the same exact place she last saw her, however, her emotionless brother was missing.

Then the answer came from the announcer.

"Get ready folks! Our next match might be one to remember!" Trevor tossed the mic into the air with one hand, clearly excited for the upcoming battle. Watching it land on his other hand, he gave it a little spin before bringing the microphone back to his lips. "On one side, we have the daughter of the World Champion, Videl Satan! She has participated in tournaments in the past but has never made it to the finals. But today might just be the day that that changes! She might just make it to the finals and beat her father, becoming the next Martial Arts Champion!"

The crowd's thunderous cheers exploded into the air, voicing their approval for a father and daughter championship battle. Sure Mr. Satan could lose the title (they doubted it though. This was the man who defeated not one, but TWO Cells), but the Satan line would continue! IF Videl miraculously was about to defeat him, she would become his successor and honestly, there was nothing wrong with that…BUUT it would never happen.

Videl, who now sported a new short and fuzzy haircut, slapped her cheeks to pump herself up for the battle. She thought of nothing else but her current goal. To win this match.

"And on the other side, we have a mysterious blue fellow that goes by the name of Mira! Absolutely nothing is known about him and well, what you see is all you get! He looks like a force to be reckoned with!"

Mira stood stiffly, his emotionless expression never leaving his face.

"I don't care how powerful you may look! You better fight with everything you got because I won't be holding back!"

Mira remained silent.

Back with Bra, her mind was screaming at her to stop this fight. If Mira's strength is anywhere near Dabura's, she was as good as done. "Guys, we have to pull her out of the match! This is worse than Spopovich! In fact, I'd rather it had been Spopovich instead a demon from the Demon Realm!"

Gohan grimaced. "That's easier said than done. I know that look on her face. She will not drop this match no matter what you say. She won't stop fighting until she's knocked out too."

"Well, then let's just go in there and knock her out," Zangya suggested. "Sure she'll hate us when she comes to, but she'll get over it."

Bra nodded. "I agree."

"Now hold on guys, let's give her a chance." Everyone looked at Goku like he had grown two heads. "Listen, no matter how bad this guy is, I doubt he is stupid enough to make a huge scene. He and the woman definitely know we are here and they don't want to 'scare' us off right? Because they need us. So I say, we let Videl have her match. I have Senzu Beans in case things turn for the worse."

Gohan frowned. "Dad, you don't know how stubborn Videl can be. If I feel like it's gone too far, I'm jumping in, whether you like it or not. If I make a scene, then I make a scene. I won't watch her die."

Goku nodded with a small smile, glad that his son had found someone that he truly cared about. "Sounds fair-"

"Okay let the match begin!"

Trevor hurriedly stepped from the ring, getting to a safe distance.

Videl broke into a run, determined to draw first blood.

The gang watched with trepidation, fearing for Videl's life.

And the Supreme Kai smiled… sinisterly?

A/N: I really don't have anything to say about my long-ass disappearance. I am all over the place with this story huh?

Anyway, I went on and made up the Dabura, Mira, and Towa story. I don't know how I feel about it and if it makes complete sense. I confuse myself sometimes! But hey, its what came to mind as I wrote.

And I bet all of you are like "Gater, what the hell's with that Bra's past half-assed story bs?"

Ah, well see the thing is, I NEVER had legit plans to tell an entire story about what happened in her past. I did say at one point, though, that I might write one, but the loss of readers killed my hype for this fanfic enough to write a special. The second reason was that I truly didn't want to tell another version of the Buu Saga, even if it was a one or two-part special. So I'm sorry if I've disappointed you guys. Chances are that Bra will point out things that didn't happen, by voicing them or through thoughts.

If you read this, thanks for stopping by to do so!

Oh, btw, those *cough* mature chapters that I took down here, if any of you care, are posted at the AO3 (archive of our own) website. I have the same user name.

(Also, help, I have gotten an unhealthy obsession with My Hero Academia!)
