Everyone had gathered into the competitors' room. Goku was there with Vegeta, Android 18, Emily, Gohan, Videl, Piccolo and Several other competitors, who were attempting some warm up exercises.
"This tournament is going to be interesting." Goku said as the other Z fighters began doing warm ups.
"I'll say. I've been training for weeks." Gohan replied. Emily just shook her head as she continued her push-ups. Goku sighed as he approached his daughter, wanting to end what ever was up with her now since he only had one day to spend with his family.
"Listen Em, you were right. One of the reasons I never wanted you to fight was because you're a girl. After watching Cheena and Goten's fight, I now see a totally different side to girls fighting. I didn't want you to get hurt all those years ago, that's all." He explained. The blonde teenager stood up and for the first time, smiled at her father.
"I know dad, I'm sorry I'm being such a jerk. It's just I've been waiting so long to prove to you how much of a help I could be, I suppose I got angry with my past again. Now that your back, you can see how much I've accomplished. You're looking at the one who trained Cheena and you haven't seen what I can do yet. I even have my own special attack but the outcome is deadly and I won't mess around with it. I'm only going to use it when I'm needed." She said, Goku grinned as he placed his hand on her shoulder.
"I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do. And I know you were training by yourself all those years ago. I would have pulled you up but I needed to focus on destroying Cell. I would have trained you if I came back." He said. Out of the corner of her eye, Emily could see a guilty look wash over Gohan's face, but nodded her head anyway.
"Don't worry dad. Gohan agreed to train me so at the end of the day I'm fighting anyway so we're all happy." She replied shrugging her shoulders. Before they knew it, the adult tournament was starting. Cheena and Zara had taken off to meet up with Trunks and Goten for food and everyone else cheered as Krillen made his way out to meet his opponent. A rather large fighter, who was laughing over Krillen's side, took delight in gloating over winning the upcoming fight.
"Wow, I wouldn't like to be in Krillen's shoes right about now." One of the other fighters said as they watched the match. Emily groaned as she sauntered over to him and jumped up to the small window he was looking through which overlooked the match.
"I would, 'cause Krillen will have that guy knocked out in one kick in about three minutes. I bet you." She declared. The fighter stared at her.
"Yeah right, how can you be so sure?" The fighter asked, but before he could say anymore Krillen's opponent was thrown out the ring and landed on his head, much to everyone's surprise whilst Emily winced.
"Not the head. That's gotta hurt! Well, gotta go warm up." Emily said, throwing him an 'I told you so' look before jumping down and trotting her way back over to the others. The next match was announced and Videl made her way out to the arena to face a well-built fighter named Spokovich. One thing Videl found strange was a weird looking "M" tattooed on his forehead but quickly pushed it aside as she sunk into a fighting stance. The beginning of the match was signalled and Videl lunged at him, throwing kicks and punches at him. Too her surprise though, he just stood there looking at her, not even flinching underneath the mighty blows she was throwing at him.
"Whoa, who is that guy?" Gohan cried.
"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about him." Emily answered her brother darkly, keeping her gaze fixed on the fight. It wasn't long before Videl had used up her energy and completely exhausted herself, not expecting to have this reaction from her opponent, it was only then she knew he wasn't normal. Spokovich was just standing there smirking at her. Then he started laughing, as it was his turn to lunge at her as he knocked her to the ground in one punch causing the audience to gasp in shock.
"Videl!" Gohan yelled, getting ready to jump out only to be stopped by his father who kept a secure grip on his shoulder.
"No Gohan, you can't interfere." He said.
"Not even if the guy isn't normal?" Emily asked, jumping onto the wall now to get a better look at the fight.
"What do you mean he's not normal?" Goku asked, staring at her now, Emily shook her shoulders, puzzled herself why she suddenly said that.
"I dunno, it's just he's strong like us bus he has a negative aura, like something's controlling him. Something evil." She replied. Across the way of the Z fighters, a certain fighter by the name of Shin was staring at her, stunned at how none of the other warriors had picked up on the situation yet every word she said drew her closer, like she could read minds. Finally Videl passed out from being beaten up so much and Goku let go of his eldest.
"I've got to get to her!" Gohan cried.
"Wait here I'll get some beans." Emily declared, bringing two fingers to her forehead and disappeared. Ignoring his little sister, Gohan dashed off to be with Videl whilst Goku stared at the empty space his daughter had previously been in shock.
"How did she…" He spluttered.
"She knows your teleporting trick Kakarot." Vegeta grunted. Moments later a purple blur reappeared as Emily arrived back at her space on the wall, this time clutching a small bag.
"I told him to wait here." She yelled, jumping off the wall and running over to Gohan. As soon as Gohan gave Videl the bean the second match was declared and it was Piccolo VS Shin. Piccolo looked at his opponent when on the arena floor and began trembling. Bowing his head, he forfeited the match and walked back.
"What's going on Piccolo?" Goku asked when the Namek arrived next to the Z Fighters. Vegeta just smirked at him.
"He's just scared." He sneered.
"Shut up Vegeta, that's not the case at all." Emily snapped, the Saiyan prince glared at the teenager.
"Who do you think you're talking to girl?" He yelled.
"I'm talking to you bonehead, you don't scare me anymore." Emily spat, jumping up and glaring back at Vegeta dangerously. Goku shot her a warning look, which she half shrunk back at.
"Emily, pack it in." He said sternly.
"He's just a jerk." She muttered, folding her arms as she sat back down on the wall again.
"I heard that girl." Vegeta snapped.
"That was the idea."
"Emily!" Goku yelled, this time glaring at her. Suddenly the third match was announced, it was Gohan VS Kibito. As the two made their way out onto the arena, Videl had finally met up with them, fully healed. Meanwhile out on the battlefield, Kibito smirked at Gohan.
"That's not your true form, I know you can go stronger." He stated simply, this time it was Gohan's turn to smirk.
"That's right tough guy. Do you want super or ascended?" He asked, without waiting for an answer, he powered up to ascended saiyan, earning shocked gasps from the audience.
"Gohan is the Great Saiyaman and the Gold Fighter?" Videl gasped, Emily however glared at her elder brother.
"Show off!" She yelled, Gohan glanced her way and smirked before turning his gaze back to Kibito.
"Satisfied?" He demanded.
"Incredible!" Kibito gasped, the Shin made his way over to the others and pointed to Spokovich.
"See that man over there? He's going to attack Gohan as soon as he goes for Kibito. I don't want any of you to interfere; I'd like to see what he does. Please you must trust me." He said. Goku stared at him.
"What do you mean? What's going to happen to Gohan?" He demanded, the Shin glanced at the demi saiyan out on the arena then turned back to Goku.
"Gohan will be fine, I don't know exactly what Spokovich is going to do but I need you to promise me you won't interfere." Goku just sighed and nodded as he returned his attention back to his son in time to see him lunge at Kibito, then just as foretold, Spokovich went for Gohan whilst his friend Yamma held a strange pink device.
"What the hell is that?" Emily yelled, staring at the object.
"Language Emily." Goku said firmly, but acknowledging the device as well. The teenager just stuck her tongue out at her father before turning her attention back to her brother. Gohan sensed Spokovich behind him and went to fight him but suddenly his hands got locked to his sides.
"What the… I can't move!" He cried as Spokovich grabbed Gohan whilst Yamma stabbed him in the side with the "strange device", causing the demi saiyan to cry out in pain.
"Gohan!" Videl yelled and went to run out only to be pulled back by Goku who kept a firm grip on her shoulder.
"He'll be fine, Videl." He said firmly. Emily glared at her father.
"He's not fine dad, they're hurting him!" She yelled.
"Just be patient young one." The Shin said. Emily growled and took off. Shin tried grabbing her but she turned around and telekinetically smashed him into the nearest wall and phased out. Appearing behind Yamma, she did a spin kick to his head causing him to drop the device from Gohan and go crashing to the floor.
"Leave my brother alone!" She screamed, powering up into a super saiyan. Goku stared at her, stunned.
"She's one too?" He cried. Spokovich threw Gohan who had now passed out to the floor and picked Emily up by her throat, growling.
"Why you little…" He snarled.
"Spokovich, don't worry, we have more than enough. Let's go." Yamma said. Spokovich glared at Emily.
"You're lucky this time kid, next time you won't be." He snapped as he threw her to the floor. Then the pair of them took off. Goku, Supreme Kai, Kibito and Vegeta ran over to where the others were, Goku helping Emily up.
"Kibito will take care of Gohan. I need to follow them now. Come with me if you wish." Shin said briskly as he took to the air and took after the two men. Goku was about to take after him when Vegeta stopped him.
"Kakarot, our fight." Vegeta growled.
"Don't worry, we'll have it later." Goku said, as he took off followed by Krillen and Piccolo. Vegeta just growled once more before following him, Emily not far behind, still being in her super saiyan form she easily caught up.
"So will you tell us what's going on?" Vegeta barked a short while later.
"Yeah, I wanna know whose butt I get to kick." Emily piped up. Shin stared between her and Goku giving off the obvious look that he didn't want her to be there. Emily quickly read it and glared at him then shot her father an exasperated look.
"She's a super saiyan. If these guy's as strong as they make out to be, we may need her." Goku sighed, regretting every word that he said. Emily just shrugged her shoulders, knowing it was the best she's going to get. Shin stared at the saiyan a few more moments before getting an agitated cough from Vegeta. He then took a deep breath, unsure how to break it to them, what he was trying to avoid happen.
"The truth is that I am the Supreme Kai. Many years ago, on the planet of the Kai's, a powerful wizard who went by the name Bibidi unleashed a powerful monster known as Majin Buu. One by one he proceeded to wipe out all the Kai's until there was only one left, myself. With my remaining powers I managed to seal Majin Buu up, and bury him deep in the Earth but now Babidi's son, Babidi, has found him and unearthed him. We must stop him from being woken up or the consequences will be costly." The Supreme Kai explained.
"So what's this got to do with Gohan's energy?" Emily asked, frowning now herself as she pondered what they needed her brother for.
"It's what Majin Buu needs to be woken up. Energy." Supreme Kai admitted bitterly. Suddenly Spokovich and Yamma landed and all the Z Fighters found a large hill to land where they couldn't be seen. They peered out as Spokovich and Yamma met up with a small green figure.
"We searched here before and there was nothing here." Supreme Kai muttered to himself, whilst the others watched the three men.
"The ground looks as though it's been dug up, maybe it was buried." Goku suggested as they spotted two more figures flying in the air, Gohan and Kibito touched down and Emily automatically ran over and threw her arms around her brother.
"Gohan! Are you all right? I'm sorry it took me so long to stop them." She cried as Gohan rubbed her back.
"It's ok, and I'm fine." He replied then guided her over to the others. They watched stunned as Babidi turned and killed Yamma.
"Who would kill one of their own men?" Gohan cried.
"He must have had no further use for him." The Supreme Kai replied, shrugging his shoulders, before another figure appeared from the space ship. He was tall and red with cold evil eyes.
"Dabura!" Kibito yelled, glaring in the direction.
"Who?" Gohan asked confused.
"Dabura, he's the king of demons. Watch out for his spit, if it lands on you, you'll turn into stone." The Supreme Kai explained. Emily pulled a face.
"Spit? That's disgusting! Typical guy." She muttered. Supreme Kai couldn't help but smile at the comment then turned to see Babidi staring directly at them.
"Dabura, it seems we have guests. Go greet them." He replied silkily. Dabura just nodded and disappeared.
"He knows where here!" Vegeta cried.
"What do we do?" Emily wailed, panicking now.
"Stay calm, nothing's going to happen." Goku said firmly whilst Gohan stood in front her protectively. A moment later, Dabura shimmered into view.
"Hello." He said. Emily gasped as she hid behind Gohan's leg whilst everyone else growled at the Demon King.
"Dabura." Kibito snarled and Dabura fixed his gaze on Krillen before swiftly spitting on the small man, turning him into stone instantly causing the others to gasp at the sudden action.
"No! Krillen!" Goku cried. Dabura just laughed as he fixed his gaze on Piccolo next. The Namek, sensing what he planned, took off but it wasn't long before he was turned to stone too.
"Piccolo!" Gohan yelled.
"I wish to speak to Babidi." Goku announced.
"Not so fast there. First you've got to complete the three stages. Then you can speak to him." Dabura said, and then took off again.
"Can we revive them?" Emily asked whilst waking over to where Krillen was and touching his shoulder. Suddenly the Supreme Kai grabbed her hand.
"If you destroy Dabura then the curse will wear off, but if they break, they cannot be revived." He warned, letting go of her.
"Come on then, let's hurry up and complete these three stages." Goku announced. Both the Supreme Kai and Kibito stared at the man.
"You mean you're not afraid?" Supreme Kai asked.
"Nah, we'll handle it. Vegeta? Gohan? You two with me?" He asked, looking at the two of them whilst Emily folded her arms and glared at her father. Gohan sighed reading the look on his sister's face.
"Are you sure you want to come with us?" He asked.
"Yeah, I doubt you'll let me fight anyway but I'm not getting left behind." The blonde teenager declared.
"Emily this isn't a game you know." Goku groaned.
"I want to go. I've been training hard for a day when we have to save the Earth and I swore to myself I wouldn't get left behind. I wish you guys would stop underestimating me, I'm not as weak as I look." Emily sighed, walking towards the ship, getting a better look at what she was getting herself into. She was scared, but she didn't want them to know. She wanted to finally fight along side her father and brother and now she was so close, she couldn't back out now. Goku saw her determination.
"Alright, I'll let you come with us, but you have to promise me that if anything goes wrong then you'll get out, understood?" He said firmly. Emily turned around and nodded. It was the best she was going to get out of him.
"Deal, let's go." She replied as they all flew down to the ship and approached their task for getting to Babidi.
