Chapter 7
Goku and the others from the Other World looked at the mad monkey with shock and rage. Baby was going to destroy Planet Earth in just a matter of seconds. Earth still had Tuffles on it who were waiting for the others to pick them up for when they go to Planet Tuffle. Unfortunately, they didn't know that their master what going to kill them all, and for what? For his own needs? Just to feel powerful? Goku then retaliated, hoping that this move could work in order to save the planet where he was raised and grew to love.
The blue blast made the inside of Planet Tuffle dark. Baby roared as the attack was heading closer to Earth.
"Not the Earth!" Goku choked out. "KA-ME-HA-ME-HAAA!"
However his attack wasn't fast enough to keep up with Baby's.
Goku said, "No it won't make it in time!"
Back on Earth, all the citizens were living their normal lives. Although they acted like humans, all nice and gentle, the vicious blood still ran through them like the Tuffles. They couldn't wait to go to their planet and help their master dominate the Earth.
Goku's best friend, Krillin, was still on Earth with his wife, 18, and daughter, Marron. But they were under Baby's control.
Krillin was carrying a big load of shopping (mainly for the girls) and grew exhausted. However, he felt a great power of energy heading towards their planet. He couldn't quite make it out but this felt huge!
The Earth began to shake.
B-Krillin hollered, "What the hell is going on?"
B-Marron cried, clinging onto her mother, "What's happening!?"
The great force pushed everything away and a blue beam shot through the middle of the Earth. Many of the Tuffles have died. After a very long minute the beam disappeared and there was a big role ripped through the planet. They prayed that for whatever this was Lord Baby could solve this soon. They just had to hang on a bit longer until they were safe on their own planet their master had brought back.
Goku faced Baby. "Just what do you think you're doing?"
Baby laughed, "What am I doing?" He mocked. "Anything I can to see that horrified-confused look on your face!"
"It's not about me, it's about the people of the Earth," Goku defended, "They maybe be your followers but it's my job to protect them." He formed two blue Ki balls in either hand and fused them together to make one big ball. Goku got in his attack stance and began to chant his technique, "Now laugh at this! KA-ME-HA-ME...HA!"
The attack hit Baby directly in the face.
B-Bulma stared in shock as the force of the attack flew her hair and dress back.
Hercules was able to hid Videl and Chi-Chi behind one of the buildings where they could be safe, or he hoped. He held onto the unconscious women so they wouldn't fly off along with the powerful force. He closed his eyes and prayed that it would be over. That everything would be over. Soon.
Goku closed his eyes in order to stop himself from crying, "I'm sorry Vegeta, I had to sacrifice your body but it was for the survival of the Earth and its people." Flashbacks of the Saiyan Prince came to mind. Although Vegeta didn't always see Kakarrot as a companion, Goku thought otherwise. Vegeta was his friend, and his death will surely torment him later. "Please, I hope you can forgive me. I did my best, my old friend."
But Goku was interrupted by a gorilla's laughter.
There in front of the ascended Saiyan was Baby who stood tall and undamaged.
"It can't be!" Goku shouted in denial.
Baby roared with a plethora of guffaws. "Well, your best wasn't good enough, old friend."
Goku gaped, "Impossible. How can he withstand that?"
...
"Oh this isn't very good," Old Kai sighed.
Pan clenched her fists and continued to watch the orb. King Kai shook his head sadly, pondering the odds of Goku's victory.
Kibito asked, "Ancestor, what about Goku's Kamehameha wave? Shouldn't that have put Baby down permanently?" Pan and King Kai thought the same. This seemed to be Goku's strongest attack yet!
Old Kai was utterly bemused. He replied, "No, something's different here. Look at his eyes, would you?" He gestured to Oozaru Baby's bloody red ones, "There's a strange energy there."
"He just looks like a big, crazy monkey to me," Sugoro stated.
"I've got it," Old Kai began, catching everyone's attention except for Pan who was focused on her grandfather, "He went through such an unnatural way of cheating his gorilla form that it maybe causing some adverse effects."
Pan listened, but her black eyes never left the orb.
...
Baby put his palms together, "Now, it's my turn!" He formed a big Ki ball. "You can get out of the way of this blast if you want to, but first take a look of what's right behind you. From what I can tell, only one more hit at full strength and that precious planet of yours will be blown to bits!"
"Are you willing to sink that low, Baby?" Goku asked.
"SUPER GALICK GUN!"
Goku thought, "If I get out of the way, Earth is doomed." He formed his attack once again. "BABY, YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE LAST OF ME!" Just as he was about to fire off his attack, he was hit with the Super Galick Gun. Goku tried his best to hold on long enough so that the attack won't hit earth. Goku then completely fell into the attack and flew back and hit the ground with a big thug.
"That's gonna leave a bruise!" Baby laughed.
B-Bulma cheered from the tower, "Lord Baby!"
Oozaru Baby walked towards her.
...
Old Kai explained, "He's lost all control. If he makes an attack like that again the force of the Earth's explosion will send debris and shock waves smash against the Tuffle Planet and destroying it too!"
King Kai hung his head low, "Oh my, this isn't good."
Kibito exclaimed, "But then if he does then he'll kill himself, hasn't he thought about that?"
"Well it doesn't seem like there's much thinking going on," said Sugoro.
Goku was on the ground, his eyes twitching.
"Come on Goku, wake up!" Kibito shouted.
"What's he waiting for?" Sugoro asked.
Pan clasped her hands together, "Please grandpa, get up."
"Oh this is definitely not looking good," Old Kai sighed.
...
Baby saw that Goku was lying on the ground unconscious and flew high up into the air, preparing for a finishing attack.
"If that's all he's got then that putrid monkey will be done for in no time!"
All the Tuffle citizens who made it through the destruction and looked up at their Oozaru master. Despite that Baby had killed most of their race, they were far more exuberant that he was finally going to kill the last Saiyan. They began to chant him on.
"Baby! Finish that Saiyan once and for all! Baby! Finish that Saiyan once and for all!"
B-Bulma added, "Lord Baby! Rip his head off while you're at it!"
Goku thought impatiently, "Come on now! Those Kamehameha waves should have kicked in by now!" He continued to lie down on the rocky surface to fool the Tuffle gorilla above him.
"You're time has come Saiyan!" Baby announced. "Any last words you would like to share!?"
Goku didn't respond or move.
Before Baby could bring down the attack, a shocking pain flowed through his body. Then blue rays began to blast out of his body and hit plenty of cliffs and homes. Even B-Bulma flew backwards from the force and hit her head on the metallic wall, falling feet down on the broken floor. Baby couldn't control this currently and wondered what was going on with his body. He then fell down to the city flat on his head. The Tuffles ran away.
"Who in the world could have attacked me?" Baby thought bitterly. "It couldn't have been the Saiyan! He was lying face down in the dirt the whole time! Unless...of course!" He remembered when he shot his Kamehameha and he took it headstrong. "It was a delayed attack! I guess he'll use his dirty tricks to do anything against me." He sat up.
Goku flew up behind him. "I guess you weren't expecting that were you, Baby? You should try to be more perceptive."
"The only thing I'm going to do is kill you as quickly and painfully as possible! So let's cut to the chase and do what we came here to do!" Baby challenged.
Goku smirked, "Ya know, I've heard enough. You're having trouble standing on your feet much less fighting me."
Baby stood, "You're hallucinating then! There's enough fight in this body that will last me weeks-on-end!"
Goku said mockingly, "Think so? Try me."
Baby made a grab for him but Goku phased next to his head and punched his cheek. Baby also slapped Goku down to the ground and the both fell unconscious.
...
Pan felt happy that Goku had a trick up his sleeve.
"I can't believe they knocked each other out, Ancestor," Kibito said, "I mean, what an amazing fight so far!"
"Okay, now is our chance!" Old Kai stood, surprising and confusing everyone.
"What exactly do you have in mind?" Kibito asked.
"Listen up," Old Kai warned, "it's very important that you focus right now, Kibito."
Kibito stood with a stern smile, "Yes because focusing is the key to channeling enough energy to revive Goku's power."
"No dummy!" Old Kai disagreed. "You don't have nearly enough power to revive Goku since he's a Super Saiyan 4. You would need to match his power to even attempt it."
Kibito's eyes widened, "But-"
"Why don't you start by reviving Trunks or Gohan first?" Old Kai suggested.
King Kai hasn't said anything yet, he wanted to hear the Old Kai's plan. Pan gave him her full attention now after hearing her best friend's name and her father's. Sugoro and Shusugoro were still getting used to being in the Other World so they were just as oblivious to what the crazy Kai was planning. Kibito thought that Old Kai had completely lost his mind.
"What in the world are you talking about?" Kibito asked. "Don't you know? Trunks and Gohan have been taken over by Baby so reviving either would only be helping the enemy, it doesn't make sense."
"That's why you'll need the Sacred Water," Old Kai replied.
Kibito grew a wide smile in realization. "That's right! The Sacred Water at the lookout, why didn't I think of that?"
"Excuse me," King Kai coughed, "but what is the Sacred Water?"
Kibito explained, "Sacred Water is a legendary liquid with enormous healing powers. When splashed on a person it purifies and removes all toxins from the body."
"YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT YOU HAD THIS THE SO-CALLED WATER WHOLE TIME AND WAITED TILL NOW TO BRING IT UP!?" Pan yelled them, mostly at the Elder Kai.
"Geez," Old Kai covered his ears, "You yell louder than me! Why do you have to be so darn loud? I was waiting for the right time."
Kibito continued, "I vow to do whatever it takes to obtain the Sacred Water and begin soaking every infected being with its cleansing power."
Old Kai retorted, "THEN WHY DON'T YOU FIX SOME MR. KNOW-IT-ALL!?"
"Yes, yes of course I'll be back right away. Wish me luck." Kibito used the Instant Transmission.
Old Kai sighed, "It's about time he got going, he can be such a burden at times."
Kibito then appeared, empty handed to be specific. He grew bashful and his face turned red.
"That was quick," Old Kai said.
"Sorry about this but...where do I go to to find the Sacred Water again?"
Everyone fell over anime-style. Even Greggory and Bobo shook their heads.
"Kibito," Old Kai began, "where has your mind been for all these years?"
"Eh..."
"Do you really not know!?"
"I'm sorry, Ancestor."
"IT'S INSIDE OF KAMI'S LOOK OUT! NOW GET MOVING!"
"Right away, sir." Kibito disappeared once again.
Everyone turned to the orb to see who would wake up first: Goku or Baby.
...
On Kami's lookout, B-Popo was sweeping the floor. Kibito appeared behind him and then quickly hid behind one of the bushes so that B-Popo wouldn't see him. Kibito knew that Popo and Dende were under Baby's control and would try to stop him from getting the Sacred Water since the Kais were not affected by the Tuffle eggs. Kibito quietly and quickly snuck into the house.
Kibito was almost caught by B-Dende so he hid inside one of the empty chests.
Kibito ran up the mile-stairs which lead to hundreds of doors.
"Look at me," Kibito whispered to himself, "even though I maybe a Kai I'm still sneaking around like a pity cat-burglar."
At the top of the stairs was a big door. Kibito opened and saw the throne. Next to the threw was a dozen of pots filled with water.
"There's the Sacred Water!" Kibito ran to one of the pots and took it off the shelf. "There's not as much as I thought there'd be." He looked up to see what was behind the shelf: more pots with water inside. "Looks like I hit the jackpot! There's plenty here to cure everyone!"
Kibito climbed inside and tasted a few of the pots, "It tastes normal. How does Old Kai expect me to carry all of these? And how can I be sure that any of these is the right stuff?"
Behind him a dark, hoarse yet familiar voice demanded, "Why are you running around here like some cat-burglar, Kibito?"
Kibito turned to see B-Dende and B-Popp behind him. The Kai grew frightened, he didn't know how they caught him. He thought for sure he was quiet.
B-Dende continued, "Surely you're not thinking of using the Sacred Water against the wishes of Baby because those who try such foolish things meet with a grim fate!" Him and B-Popo's eyes glowed red.
Kibito tried to some with an excuse, "Well you see-"
B-Dende interrupted, "Even though you're a Kai we cannot allow this to go any further. Prepare to defend yourself!" On cue, B-Dende and B-Popo flew towards Kibito, but Kibito was quicker. Kibito jumped from bucket to bucket in hopes of throwing the two off guard. However the Tuffle-Namekian and Tuffle-Genie wouldn't give up.
Just as B-Dende and B-Popo almost caught up to him, Kibito picked up one of the buckets and splashed the water one them.
"Hey, what are you doing!?" asked B-Dende.
Kibito splashed two more buckets at them, "Take this!"
"Cut it out!" B-Dende demanded.
Kibito was then corner, "Where's the Sacred Water!?"
B-Dende cackled, "Oh, were you looking for this?" He grabbed the object next to him; a sphere-shaped bucket with blue and white traces and a lid. "I always keep this safe in case ignorant fools like you try to turn us back to our old selves."
Kibito knew that he couldn't get the Sacred water now. "Then why were you two chasing me if you already had it?"
B-Dende explained, "Well we thought about it. We knew you were here since I felt your Ki, you should learn to control that. When you saw me walking down the hall I came from the Water Room, already knowing that you would change us back. But you see, being Tuffles isn't bad and Baby isn't a horrible leader, a great one in fact. He's trying to protect us and the rest of the universe. Why don't you join us, Kibito? It would make your life so much simpler. And if you think about trying to get the Sacred Water, Popo and I will be forced to kill you."
Kibito gulped at the guardian, "Dende..." He put his fingers to his forehead. "This isn't the last of me, I'll be back, I promise you that. And hopefully when I return, I'll turn everyone back into themselves."
B-Dende and B-Popo lunged at him but they were too late. Kibito returned to the Other World.
