-I'm over it-
-You see I'm falling in the vast abyss-
This day was truly not turning out as Babidi had envisioned it. In his mind, once he freed Majin Buu he should have acquired a completely loyal servant who would crush all who stood in his way, helped his avenge his father, and conquer the known universe; probably a good part of the unknown universe too. In his mind, by now he should have killed the Supreme Kai, destroyed the planet, and left to start his conquest over all that is.
Instead, his ship had been destroyed by another of his servants, and that same servant had brought friends that had swooped in, hurt Buu, and cut him in half, before blowing Majin Buu into tiny bits; fortunately, his pet monster truly was as unstoppable as he'd heard. Now, while Babidi was extremely pleased with what he'd seen for the 'crushing all who stood in his way' part, the 'completely loyal' part left much to be desired, and as much as he enjoyed the power trip that came with riding around on Majin Buu's back, he was seriously reconsidering his choice of travel.
First, they had flown over some city on this backwater planet, and he had announced that this was the perfect place to begin their search, but Buu, it seemed, paid him no attention. Instead, Majin Buu had flown straight through an office building, crashing through everything in his way, and causing Babidi to be struck in the head by books, coffee mugs, stacks of paper, and other assorted office supplies, which was, to say the least, irritating.
Then, when they had reached the next city, this one considerably larger and more populated, Majin Buu had broken into a cake shop and proceeded to stuff his face for about five minutes, before he had convinced the bloated pink monster to destroy the blue people outside; if he remembered rightly, they called themselves police, but whatever they were they were some kind of authority figure.
That done, Babidi had managed to drag Buu away before he resumed stuffing his face, but now his pet was constantly whinging about how he was hungry. As they reached the next city, Babidi felt a smile come to his face. He had the perfect idea how to bring those pests out of hiding, and sate Buu's appetite at the same time.
-Clouded by memories of the past-
-At last, I see-
"Son, is that you?" The newly deceased warrior landed before the speaker. "After all these years, has the Vegeta line finally come to an end?"
He'd been flying around fairly aimlessly before he heard the speaker calling out to him. Even after all these years, Vegeta easily recognised the man; the crown of black hair and the thick beard were major giveaways. He nodded his head, saying simply, "Father."
Said father's face twisted into a slight frown. "Now then boy, I may be your father, but having defeated my ancestors in civil combat I am still your king, and I demand the proper respect, even from you. Now, do you have anything else to tell me?"
Vegeta smirked. "As a matter of fact I do." Darting forward, he drove his knee into his father's stomach. "That was for being a lousy king, leading our race down a path to destruction." Grabbing the back of his father's head, he kneed him in the face, causing the older man to reel back. "That was for being a lousy Saiyan, selling your soul to our most hated enemy." Grabbing his father's shoulder, he then proceeded to drive his knee into his father's crotch. "And that is for being a lousy father!"
"Finally," one of the nearby Saiyans muttered. "I've been waiting for someone to do that for years."
Vegeta strode over to the speaker, taking in his odd tri-point hair. "Why didn't you do it yourself?"
The Saiyan snorted. "Are you kidding? He's stronger than me."
One of Vegeta's eyebrows rose. "You're not much on the whole 'respect' thing are you?"
He shrugged. "I served under Frieza. Kinda tends to kill all respect for supposed 'authority figures'."
The other eyebrow went up. "Really? You'll have to tell me about that some time; I don't remember you from Frieza's service. In the meantime however, who can direct me towards the albino bitch?"
"My lord?" A gravely voice called out from behind him, bowing formally, "I think I know where he is."
Vegeta turned to the speaker, a smirk coming back to his face. "Unfamiliar words from a familiar face. You must be Bardock."
-I hear it fading-
-I can't speak it, or else you will dig my grave-
'This is it,' Babidi thought to himself, as he gazed out across the city below him from his vantage point on the cliffside, 'It's time to show these useless humans who's in charge around here.' Casting an eye at the pink monster beside him, he barked, "Snap out of it you big baby! What's the matter with you?"
"Buu still hungry," the pink thing whinged.
"All those sweets are just empty calories," Babidi replied dismissively. "I've got something more satisfying. We'll give those meddlers their just desserts." Focusing his magic, he projected his voice into the minds of others. "People of Earth! Can you hear me? Testing, one, two. I am the all-seeing all-knowing all-powerful wizard Babidi! Son of the all-seeing all-knowing all-powerful wizard Bibidi."
Babidi felt a smirk come to his face as he felt their reactions. "Now now, no peeking. There's no sense searching for me; you're not even close! I'm using my unprecedented magical ability to transport my words directly to you, the people. I'm so sorry to bother you like this, especially if you're having an otherwise pleasant day; I do know what it's like to be pestered while having fun!" He started joking and sarcastic, but ended in an angry yell.
"You see, earlier today five nuisances did just that!" He continued angrily, "Now I'm simply looking to return the favour. Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy my show. Please be courteous and remember that silence is golden, okay?" Focusing his magic, Babidi projected the images of the five that troubled him into the peoples' minds. "I now present the stars of my own personal nightmare. These are the five cretins that I'm looking for. Get a good look at their ugly mugs, for they are the ones responsible for any and all destruction that may come your way!"
"Come out you cowards, unless of course you're scared of little old me," Babidi taunted, "I've got a preview of what's in store for you if you refuse to show your faces." Suddenly remembering something, Babidi added, "Oh but wait, first allow me to introduce myself." Sending more images, he continued, "The handsome devil you now see is none other than me, the great wizard Babidi. And this is my faithful servant Majin Buu, the heavyweight champion of the universe. He may not seem like much, but he's actually quite unstoppable."
With another flex of his magical might, the 'view' changed to essentially a magical camera, filming Babidi, Buu, and the city before them. "Now, do you see this city? It looks like a lovely place doesn't it? Well it's citizens are about to get a special sneak preview of the high cost of your cowardice while you look on from your hiding place!"
In a joking tone of voice, Babidi announced, "The following material is of a violent nature and may be considered quite gratuitous. Enjoy. This program has been sponsored by those five." Turning to the monster beside him, while still on 'camera', he finished, "Let the fun begin Majin Buu!"
-You feel them finding; Always whining-
-Take my hand now; Be alive-
With a flex of his power, and an excited whoop, Majin Buu lifted the population of the city into the sky; thousands, tens of thousands, maybe even millions of humans held aloft by his will alone. That done, Buu thought out loud, "Hmm... What Buu want for eat... Oh, Buu eat too much cake..." An idea struck him suddenly, and so decided, he flung forward his head tentacle and fired off a pink beam, which expanded rapidly to cover the entire human populace in seconds. "Oh yes! Yes! Buu want candy!"
A few seconds of panicked and pained screams later, the entire city's population had been turned into candy drops, still floating in the air. With a grin, Buu opened his mouth and began inhaling; due to the fact he didn't actually have lungs, inhaling just meant he started blowing up like a balloon. However, the massive vacuum created by his breath began drawing in the mass of candy balls spread across the cityscape. As they approached, Buu narrowed his mouth, and thus the stream of air, so the candy balls would all fly into his mouth, and within seconds, he had them all contained in his elastic mouth.
Majin Buu gave a series of exaggerated massive bites on the mass of candy, before swallowing the lot of them in one go, his stomach bulging appropriately from the increased weight. As Buu sighed, satisfied for now, Babidi announced, "This is but a small taste of what will happen if you don't surrender." After cackling for a few moment, he continued, "It's such a shame. This city is useless if there are no people in it." Beside him, Majin Buu nodded his agreement. "Let's fix that. All these old buildings are spoiling my view. Go ahead Majin Buu, clean up this town. Just don't overdo it; we wouldn't want the whole planet to disappear!"
Whooping gleefully, Majin Buu shouted, "Okay! Okay!" Taking another deep breath, and swelling up until the point where he was more gut than anything else, he exhaled forcefully, pumping a good deal of ki into the breath, and the pink-tinted stream of energy that left his mouth proved to be anything but harmless. Turning from side to side, Buu sprayed the city with his ki breath, leaving trails of explosions and purple smoke in his wake, before, as he ran out of breath, the entire city was covered.
As the smoke cleared, Majin Buu patted its stomach, and the city was revealed to be naught but rubble. Smirking evilly, Babidi commented to the 'camera', "That's more like it. It's what I'll do to those five meddlers too. So one last reminder!" He transmitted the images of the people he sought one more time. "There's really no point in protecting them. They are not your friends. They are spineless cowards. If they valued your lives at all they would have already turned themselves over to me. Obviously they don't; well, shame on them I say!"
Moving the 'camera' until it showed both Buu and himself, with the ruined city behind them, he made his offer, "You now have an opportunity to teach these selfish brats a lesson. One chance to stand up for your self worth and for Earthlings everywhere. It's simple really: just tell me where they are! By the way, you have five days to measure the importance of your meagre little lives; take too long and I'll have Buu annihilate you all!"
Remembering something else, he added, "Oh yes, there's one more important thing. You will need to contact me so I'll tell you how you can. If you have some information for me I can hear you. Start talking and I'll hear you inside my head. I'm listening, so speak up now. If you tell me where those uncaring louts are hiding, I might even spare you." Babidi waited a few moments, and was surprised when he got a reply within seconds, but that surprise quickly turned to annoyance when all the guy could tell him were the names of three of them; Ma Junior, Goten, and Trunks. With a burst of his power, he destroyed the man, before announcing, "No rest for the wicked. I've got to keep you humans on your toes, so perhaps a little more destruction is in order. Majin Buu, let's go!"
-You see I cannot be forsaken, because I'm not the only one-
-We walk amongst you, feeding, raping-
-Must we hide from everyone?-
"This is getting ridiculous..." Kaen growled to himself. The battle across the Mindscape, more like a three person war by this point, had raged on for what felt like two hours; there was no telling how long it had actually been though because, like Otherworld, time passed differently here than in the living world. After however long it had been, however, the fight showed no time of ending soon.
"You're telling me," Pi replied from beside him, the two staring their opponent down. Thanks to the Majin magicks, Phoenix could probably continue to fight forever, and any damage they managed to do to him healed quickly. However, as they had discovered, Kaen was able to 'imagine' things into existence, such as the shield wall that had protected Pi, or the Jacob's Ladder that had recharged Kaen's energy before.
Phoenix, however, seemed to lack Kaen's ability to manipulate the Mindscape, either due to his lack of imagination, or simply the fact this was Kaen's head, not his. This ability of Kaen's evened the power difference between him and Phoenix, in fact throwing the dark shadow on the back foot, but Pi too lacked this ability, thus much of Kaen's attention went into keeping Pi safe. In other words, the two teams were dead even.
Without turning her eyes away from the stare-down with Phoenix, Pi stated resolutely, "We've got to do something to break this stalemate."
"I'm open to suggestions." For a while, Kaen had used his control over the Mindscape to summon up stuff like demons and dragons to fight for him, but Phoenix had quickly found a way to dispel those, so instead he saved his 'summonings' for defence.
"We could always try the Fusion Tech-"
"No, out of the question," Kaen cut her off, "If we fuse here, there's a chance you'll cease to exist."
"I'm prepared to take that chance," Pi replied, her voice calm and determined.
"Well I'm not." Kaen's tone was final
"Why not Kaen? Give me one good reason."
"I'll give you two," he replied, "One: I am not going to risk spending the rest of my life without you. Two: I am not going to risk spending the rest of my life as Kai." Despite the fact he too didn't look away from Phoenix, the feelings Kaen sent her through the bond were as reassuring as if he'd taken her hand and was staring deep into her eyes. "We'll find some way to kill this guy. I just ask you to trust me."
Pi smiled. "You don't even need to ask for that."
-I'm over it-
-Why can't we be together, erase it?-
"Your attention please Earthlings!" Babidi announced, once again using his magic to broadcast the feed of himself and Buu, this time floating directly above the target city he had selected; this city was at least twice the size of the last one. "It's me again, the great wizard Babidi, along with my faithful counterpart Majin Buu. The two of us have been out doing a little sightseeing, and what a glorious sight we've found. A perfect place for Majin Buu to grab a little snack. I here the local cuisine is to die for. Of course, what he was really looking for was some Ma Junior, Goten, and Trunks ala mode, but I guess we'll just have to make do."
Cupping a hand to his ear, he taunted, "You all know what I want. I'm listening. Which means you still have time to tell me where my quarry is hiding. I'll give you until I finish speaking this sentence. Too late! Ha, it looks like Buu gets to have that snack. Yes, but what should he eat? I'm sure that he's had more than enough candy for one day. Hold on, I think I know just the thing to hit the spot: chocolate!"
Majin Buu seemed to find this idea very agreeable, letting out an excited whoop as he started lifting the people. Due to the size of the city, and the fact they were floating over it, Buu actually had to turn several times to lift everyone in the city. Wiping some drool from his mouth, Buu growled with barely contained glee, "Buu want... chocolate!"
A wave of multicoloured light blasted from his head tail, turning everyone it hit into chocolate. Hollering excitedly, Buu turned the beam on everyone in turn, sweeping across the city and transforming the entire populace, until all that remained were bars of chocolate with humanoid shaped on them vaguely resembling the people they had once been. With a flick of what passed for a wrist, Buu drew the chocolate bars towards him, and began feasting.
-Sleeping so long, taking off the mask-
-At last, I see-
"Man, that Majin Buu's really stirring up some shit down there," Truniz commented offhandedly. From their position outside Earth's atmosphere, they were out of range of Babidi's magic. That didn't, however, mean they couldn't watch what was going on, thanks to the planetscape cameras. Turning to his brother, he asked, "You planning on doing something about that bro?"
"We probably should," Avarrdo remarked.
"Vegeta is dead, Gohan, Kaen and my daughter are missing, and all of Earth's hope rests on the shoulders of one dead Saiyan, one Namek, and four children. Truly, the situation does look bleak," Kellre observed.
"All hope is not lost though," Raene argued.
With a nod, April added, "We must give the kids a chance to defeat Buu themselves."
"And there's a chance Gohan, Kaen or Pi'll show up to stomp the pink bubblegum monster," Kat piped up.
Avarrdo nodded. "That is true. However, we must not pin all of our hope on a long shot."
Signalling his agreement, Kellre continued, "There is one thing we can do: The Hyperspace Cannon."
"So, 'nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure'?" Truniz remarked, quoting one of his favourite Earth movies.
When the older men nodded, April was quick to voice her protests; after all, she had all three of her children down there. "But, the kids-"
"As much as I hate to say it," Avarrdo stated, "If we are forced to do this, that will mean they have already lost their lives to this monster."
"How do you know this cannon'll destroy Buu anyway?" Kat asked, "He's already proven he can heal from a massive explosion."
"The pulse from the Hyperspace Cannon, as you may or may not know, destabilises the core of the planet, which generally results in the planet exploding, much like I assume happened to Planet Namek, based on what Gohan, Vegeta and Kakarott have told us. However, it can also be amplified and modulated to increase the density of the core, increasing gravity at an exponential rate until it implodes the planet and creates a localised singularity."
"An explosion of significant magnitude is still potentially a better choice," Avarrdo argued, "The cannon can output an explosive pulse of greater strength much faster, and even this monster will not be able to regrow from the atomic level."
"Can you be sure of that?" Kellre countered. "What can be guaranteed, however, is that even should he be able to regenerate, the intense pressure of the singularity will prevent him from escaping. Surely even you can agree that, in this case if none other, implosion would be the better offer over explosion?"
Avarrdo opened his mouth to argue, before snapping it shut again with an audible click. Through grit teeth he growled out, "I hate it when you're right; makes me so angry."
Kellre grinned. "Then you must be angry all the time."
Truniz smirked. "Must be where the runt gets it from."
The mood quickly sobering, Kellre cast his gaze around the room, asking, "So we're in agreement then?" No one voiced any objections, although there were obvious signs from the women in the room that this wasn't a decision they would support. "So be it then. I will begin charging the cannon to implode Earth. It will take a full eight hours to charge, and from that point, we will have forty hours before the energy must be discharged, either harmlessly, or... otherwise."
With a single curt nod, Avarrdo remarked, "So what remains of Earth's finest have two days to put an end to Majin Buu, or we will."
-My fear is fading-
-I can't speak it, or else you will dig my grave-
Surrounded by floating chocolate bars, with chocolate smeared across his pudgy pink face, Buu paused in his sugar feast to belch. Looking at the half bar left in his hand for a moment, Buu looked down to his stomach, rubbing and tapping it a few times as if testing something, before the pink monster came to the only logical conclusion; despite the fact there was still food left to be eaten, he was full, and could eat no more.
After crushing the bar in his hand, Buu waved his arms around to direct the chocolate, sending it back into the city whence it came, before pointing a single finger and firing a blast after it. The simple blast formed a pink done of energy that turned the buildings inside it into molten slag, before expanding outwards in a jump to cover, and thus destroy, half the city.
As Buu rubbed his full stomach amidst the sickly pink glow of the remaining explosion, Babidi commented, "Well, the fun is over here. It seems that Majin Buu is actually full for once. I guess that means the next city will have to settle for being pummelled into oblivion. Okay, time for us to move on."
Babidi and Buu began to fly away from the smoking crater that was once the heart of the city, before an angry voice shouted in his mind. "Babidi! Majin Buu! Can you here me? This is Trunks."
"And I'm Goten!" A second voice added.
Pausing in his flight, Babidi taunted, "So, you two have finally decided to find some courage."
The first voice, the one that identified itself as Trunks, shouted back, "No, we've decided to find you, and you don't wanna know what we have in store for that day."
"It won't be pretty." The second voice added again.
Babidi floated there, waiting for them to comment again, but it would appear they had decided to shut up; that, or someone made them shut up. "Hellooo! Where are you boys? Where'd you go? Come out, come out, wherever you are!" Babidi taunted, but it appeared there would be only silence from the boys, so, annoyed, Babidi and Buu continued on.
-You feel them finding; Always whining-
-Take my hand now; Be alive-
"So you've met my wayward son then have you?" The gravely voice of the deceased legend asked.
Flying along beside him, Vegeta turned to face Bardock, asking, "You've met him? How?"
"Every year on Halloween, the Kais hold a special tournament, each selecting one fighter from their section of Hell, and one fighter from their section of Heaven, and they battle it out on the Grand Kai's planet."
"What do you mean 'sections of Heaven and Hell'?" If this was to be Vegeta's new home for the rest of eternity, he wanted to know how it worked.
"Otherworld is divided up the same way the universe is." Bardock explained, "Heaven and Hell are divided up into sections by galaxy, then into smaller sections by quadrants; souls from the North Quadrant of the universe spend their eternal rest in either the North Quadrant of Heaven or Hell. These Quadrants are, like the universe, overseen by the Kais. King Yemma merely passes judgement on incoming souls; he contains little real power past that task."
Vegeta nodded, satisfied with the answer, before returning to the original question asked. "Yes, I have had dealings with your youngest son."
"Meaning he defeated you in battle," Bardock inputted, a grin on his face.
Vegeta scowled. "Yes, that's right. Still, he's far too human to be a truly great Saiyan. Your grandson, however, is a different story. There is much potential in him."
"How strong could a half-Saiyan child be?" Bardock asked. Unlike most Saiyans, Bardock wasn't repulsed at the idea of Saiyans breeding with what many thought of as 'inferior species'; he was a scientist, and like all scientists, curious before sceptical.
"Strong enough to destroy a space pod, and seriously injure Radditz at age four. Strong enough to go toe-to-toe with Frieza in his second and third forms at age six. Strong enough to reach not only Super Saiyan, but find a second level at age eleven. Strong enough to defeat a monster that could easily take down his father not once, but twice." Vegeta's voice was full of pride for his fellow Saiyan. "He was born under the human name Gohan, but for his achievements in battle, he was awarded the Saiyan name Cellotto."
"Cellotto huh?" Bardock replied. "No doubt named after that creature Cell? I take it that was the monster he defeated twice?"
"You know of Cell?" Vegeta asked.
Bardock nodded. "Indeed I do. The creature hangs around Frieza, and his ilk." Pointing, he added, "In fact, that's them down there."
Vegeta clapped the scarred fighter on the shoulder. "Thanks for the tour. Now, feel free to sit back and enjoy the show." Flaring straight into his newly acquired Super Saiyan 2, before diving down to the group by the Crystal Lake.
"Well well well, if it isn't Vegeta," Cell's bass voice taunted. "I knew you'd show up here sooner or later. Back for another go?"
In a flash of movement, Vegeta sent Cell flying up towards the yellow clouds that were the sky, where he impacted harshly before splashing down in the blood-red lake. "I'm not interested in you," Vegeta replied to the now-unconscious monster. "I'm here for Frieza." Having seen the fallen prince drop the most powerful fighter around with a single blow, the Ginyu Force took flight, leaving Frieza to his fate; they were loyal until death, meaning they were only loyal now because of convenience. With a grin, Vegeta cracked his knuckles. "Let's get this party started."
-You see I cannot be forsaken, because I'm not the only one-
-We walk amongst you, feeding, raping-
-Must we hide from everyone?-
Having reached the third target city, Babidi decided it was time to let Majin Buu have some fun; not that turning people into food and eating them before destroying their city wasn't fun and all. Hopping off Buu's back, Babidi gave him free reign to do whatever he wanted to the city, so long as the planet survived.
Buu opened his rampage by slamming his way through every tall building in the city he could find, leaving a trail of explosions in his wake, before he grew tired of that game, tearing the domes room off the top of one spire and hurling it at the nearest building. People screamed in terror, fleeing from the destruction as fast as they could, before Buu blasted out the base of another tower, causing the falling building to crush them all.
Turning around, Majin Buu spotted a van racing away at high speed across the nearby highway overpass, weaving in between crashed and abandoned cars as it's driver tried to flee the city. Landing in front of it, Buu raised his foot to stop the truck, the spongy material he was made out of cushioning the crash rather than folding the truck, as he brought it to a total stop.
Pressing himself against the windscreen, Buu laughed tauntingly at the terrified driver for a moment, before putting one foot on the bumper and bouncing the van up and down, cheering "Boing" repetitively as he did so. Soon enough, however, that got boring too, thus, laughing a childishly evil laugh, Buu slammed his palm into the front of the van, sending it flying backwards on it's end until it slammed into an abandoned car, before flipping off the bridge to land on it's roof, an explosion following shortly after.
-You see I cannot be forsaken, because I'm not the only one-
-We walk amongst you, feeding, raping-
-Must we hide from everyone?-
In her white mansion, far away from the carnage taking place, a familiar rotund orange-haired harpy woman sat before her big screen TV, watching the footage shot by the brave newscasters in Babidi and Buu's latest city of destruction. On either side of her were her two sons, Idassa and Ikosa. The footage of Buu fooling around with the truck played across the screen as the newsman declared, "In their attempts to find the elusive Ma Junior, Goten and Trunks, the evil Majin Buu, along with the wizard Babidi, continue to devastate the world. Whenever will this madness end?"
"Oh, what an oogy mess," the woman remarked in her nasal voice. "I wish someone would just turn those three cowards in." A thought finding purchase in the vacuum of her head, she mused, "Hm... Could it be?" Thinking back to the competition, she remember the boy who beat her Idassa being named Trunks, and another boy named Goten beating Ikosa. "My goodness. People all across the world are dying, and it's all because those little hooligans won't show their face! If I knew where he was I'd tell Babidi myself!"
"I know mom," Idassa commented. "The purple-haired kid lives in Capsule Corp. in West Capitol."
"You sure about that?" His mother asked.
Idassa nodded, "He's the Briefs boy."
"Then we should all three concentrate," She replied, turning to her younger son. "You hear me Ikosa? We should try to reach Babidi with our minds."
-Everyone-
Babidi smiled in satisfaction as he gazed over the ruined cityscape, as Buu flew back to his side; the day might not have turned out like he'd planned, but it sure was entertaining! "Now, where should we go next..." He mused to himself.
"Babidi! Babidi, can you hear me?" A shrill voice sounded in his mind. Focusing on the person contacting him, he heard her say, "I think you should know that Trunks lives at the Capsule Corporation in West Capitol. Now you can go there and give that little hoohah what he has coming to him!"
His mouth twisting into a sour look, Babidi commented, mostly to himself, "Who is this..."
Thanks to his magic, he could see into the woman's home, as she stood from her plush red leather chair and replied, "Why, I'm the head of the PTA at my son's school, so it's my duty to do what I can to end this whole silly situation! Besides, that dirty little Trunks cheated at the tournament today and stole the title from my son Idassa! Of course my boy was feeling a little under the weather, or I'm sure he would have pounded that stupid little boy into mincemeat! I told him that's no excuse; I'm raising champions, not losers you know. That's not important really; what is important is that you go and teach him the lesson he-"
A hand held to his head at the headache the woman's voice induced, teeth clenched in anger and agony, Babidi ignored Buu capering in the background. However, he couldn't stand hearing the woman's screechy voice for one more second so he shouted, "Shut up! I thank you for sending me this wonderful information, but if I hear your annoying screech of a voice again I WILL KILL YOU!"
Tuning the woman's voice out, Babidi felt a smile come to his face despite the pain in his head. He finally knew where to go, and even if Trunks wasn't home, this should certainly bring him out of hiding.
-Everyone!-
To be continued...

Author's notes:
Man, this chapter took forever to write. I literally only fnished writing it about 5 minutes before posting this. Now, that leaves me with a week to write the next chapter. Fortunately, once I get that done, I've got 4 out of the next 5 chapters already written.
