On the last chapter of Majin Who, Videl thought May and Gohan were a couple, Trunks defeated Goten at the junior tournament and two plotting evils threaten the very World itself!

Chapter 4: Our Mutual Friend.

Videl turned away from Gohan and began to walk away, she didn't want to see him right now, saving her anger for the arena. "Why am I so angry?" She asked herself, "so what, Gohan's got a cute kind attractive girlfriend that can also fight? Why should I care." Further tears filled her eyes, "I am the great Videl Satan daughter of the legendary Hercule Satan, I do not cry!"

"Videl!" Gohan called, "We will have to draw our numbers soon, do you want to get something to eat with the others?"

"No Gohan, I think you would prefer it if I left you alone for a while." Videl harshly replied continuing to walk away from the half saiyan.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" But before Gohan could get an answer Videl just ran round the corner and into the crowds. "Well that was strange, must be trying to phase herself up or something." Deducted a mythed Saiyaman.

Meanwhile a certain pair of young trouble makers where scheming.

"I don't know Trunks."

"Look Goten, do you want to fight the grown ups or not?"

"Well yeah, but we are not allowed too the man said..."

"Goten! Look at that stupid costume, wait here, I will burrow it for us."

"Well I don't think he will..." Goten witnesses Trunks knock out the masked stranger. "Trunks we are gonna be in so much trouble!"

"Help put the costume on!" Reluctantly Goten joined in and soon the duo were completely disguised.

"Would all fighters make their way to the parade area, drawing will take place in 5 minutes." The announcer shouted in his clear exited voice.

All the warriors gathered round for the draw except the two Satans. "Gohan, where did Videl go?" Goku asked.

"I don't know Dad."

A red eyed Videl arrived at the parade square, "Sorry I'm late sir." Is all she could say. Videl wandered over and stood, though several metres away, beside Gohan.

"So Kakarot, what do you make of the fighters here?" Vegeta said lazily.

"Well, beside those two cloaked figures at that back, not alot really!" Goku laughed.

"Oh, those two guys back there to much for Kakarot." Vegeta smirked.

"Well, they are abnormally strong, lets put it this way." At that the Z-fighters couldn't resist to turn around at look at the two mysterious new comers.

Sudin almost shrieked, "They...They...are looking at us!"

"Relax Sudin, they are just eyeing up the competition, they have no reason to suspect us, yet." The taller of the cloaked figures responded.

"Well, it doesn't look like Mr Satan is going to turn up, let the drawing begin! First to draw is....Dabura! [A/N SURPRISE] At that the taller cloaked figure pulled down his hood, from under the hood there beamed the smile of the red skinned demon, complete with horns and all. "That would be me." He smirked as he drew his number, "Number 4." He said lazily. The capped figure then walked past the Z fighters stopping inches beside Krillen. "I like your fear." He said, as he continued to walk towards his compatriot. Krillen turned blue, "ah wha?" He replied, he was just about to raise the courage to snap back at the red skinned man when he was beckoned to draw his own number. He drew number 2. As each warrior was called the pairings became apparent, Goku and Vegeta were going to have to fight in the first round, much to the delight of Vegeta. May and Videl were gonna fight too, this drew cheers from May and anger yet satisfaction from Videl. Rome and 18 were scheduled to fight, it would be a case of Bulma vs Dr Gero, this got low grunts from both of them, anxious to see who really was the better. Piccolo drew number 3, this meant he would be fighting Dabura, uneasiness went across the Namekians face.

The Draws complete, this is how the pairings were drawn.

Pinto vs Krillen. Majunior (Piccolo) vs Dabura. Videl vs May. The Great Saiyaman (Gohan) vs Mr Killer. Goku vs Vegeta. Hercule vs Sudin. Rome vs 18. Duel vs Mighty Mask (Trunks and Goten)

Goku walked over to Piccolo, "You sense it too huh, be careful Piccolo, that is a very strong fighter."

"Thanks for your confidence boost Goku." Piccolo replied sarcastically, "Guess I will have to see what he can do."

"Hey Videl, what wrong?" Gohan asked innocently.

"Nothings wrong, I'm fine." She replied hastily, "hang on Videl," her inner voice told her, "Why are you being so harsh to him? All he ever showed to you was friendship, surely the least you can do, or, I can do I mean, this is confusing, is return the favor."

"Yeah I'm right." Videl told her inner voice.

"I know I am"

"Videl?" Gohan questioned, worry on his face.

"You still hungry Gohan? Wanna grab something to eat before our matches?" She smiled at him.

"Well I just ate but.. sure!" Gohan smiled back glad that 'his' Videl was back. Together they headed off towards the restraunt each enjoying each others company. May looked on in awe but decided she would bother her mechanical brother instead so she decided at that moment to jump on Rome's back.

"Get of me you vile creature!" He shouted, before grabbing he by the waist and throwing her over his head, she immediately got back up off the floor and tackled him to the ground, Rome couldn't help but retaliate. The two androids were rolling across the ground, pulling punch after punch. "Wahoo" May yelled happily.

"My don't they look like they are having fun!" Goku laughed.

"They should be careful they don't break something, or someone!" Krillen replied worriedly.

18 just stood there, "17 would never of acted this way, maybe he is more different then I first thought." She said to her husband quietly.

"It's Bulma babe, she does things differently." Krillen replied calmly.

"Don't call me babe!" She said angrily, though she took in what Krillen said, she couldn't imagine having public brawls with her brother!

"That's not what you said last nigh..." Noticing the glares he got from 18, Krillen promptly ran away.

The two androids stopped brawling after Rome ordered May to go back into her capsule, one of the perks of him helping Bulma build her was that he too could order her into a capsule.

"I'll keep this." He said pocketing his 'sister'.

"That wasn't very nice." Goku said concerned.

"Fuck Off." Rome yelled annoyed as he walked off.

"Woah whats his problem?" Goku said innocently, shocked at the use of language.`

"Good afternoon everyone, welcome to the 25th World Tournament, featuring the greatest fighters on Earth fighting for the grand championship belt! Can anyone beat Mr Satan? What about his Daughter Videl?" The announcer shouted cheerfully.

"Just ignore it Videl." Gohan said noticing Videl tense up at the sound of her name, she really didn't like the publicity.

"I can manage Gohan." Videl said back, she then thought to herself, "Wow what a great friend, he really knows me."

"With no more delay let the first match begin, last years semi finalist Pintar vs previous contestant from years gone by, Krillen! Both fighters stepped onto the stage, or waddled in the case of Pintar, he was HUGE, "I will teach you that size matters!" Pintar laughed at his small opponent.

"BEGIN!" The announcer yelled!

Who is this Dabura? Is Videl a Schizophrenic? AND Let the tournament begin!

Find out what happens on the next chapter of Majin Who?

END OF CHAPTER 4

A/N

I know Dabura was under the control of Babidi but with Babidi not existing Dabura is left to his own sinister devices as a Demon King, the whole idea of an alternate Earth, like the other side of a coin as it was referred was never really dwelt upon and to me it is a very interesting idea.

I am also aware that Dabura was about the same strength as Cell, but this version of Dabura not under control is different, and he is not the subservient mess he was after being freed either. Enjoy.
