"Arisato, who is this?" Mitsuru asked calmly.
"My apologies, I nearly forgot to introduce myself. My name is Elizabeth." Elizabeth said. "I am actually here for a few reasons, one of which is to speak with someone in this building."
"I see, who is it you need to speak with Elizabeth?" Mitsuru asked calmly.
"It's Gohan, she might be able to explain why that Cell creature showed up during the dark hour." Minato said quickly.
"You can explain why Cell showed up?" Videl asked. "Alright, then start talking."
"You misunderstand, I need to speak with him in order to understand why this creature appeared when he did." Elizabeth said calmly. "Does this Cell person have any kind of history with you?"
"You could say that, seven years ago Cell was terrorizing the entire planet." Gohan said angrily. "He challenged the greatest warriors on the planet to fight him, and we did."
"Wait, you were there during the Cell Games?" Videl asked in shock. "Wait, but that means that everything my dad said is a lie."
"Unfortunately, it wasn't your dad that killed Cell." Gohan said. "I did, or at least I thought I had killed him until last night."
"I see, so you fought this Cell creature in your past." Elizabeth said thoughtfully. "Did anything happen that left mental scarring from that encounter?"
"If you're asking about the fight, I lost my father that day." Gohan said. "If I hadn't been an overly confident fool he'd still be alive and wouldn't have needed to sacrifice himself."
"I see, that explains everything." Elizabeth said calmly. "There's a very simple reason this creature appeared."
"I suppose you're going to tell us?" Yukari asked. "The last thing we need is for Tarturus to fall apart with us inside."
"There is an extremely rare type of shadow that physically manifests from the insecurities or hidden emotions of an individual, it typically seeks to eliminate the person it came from. However in this case it seems that it seeks to attack the mental scars you've yet to recover from instead by taking a form you would be affected by the most." Elizabeth said calmly.
"That might explain why it looks like that, but it doesn't explain why it was as strong as the real Cell, these shadows aren't that strong." Gohan said.
"No, but a shadow born from you would be." Minato said. "So this thing is as strong as Gohan and it's going to appear whenever the dark hour hits isn't it?"
"Correct, until Gohan is able to overcome his doubts about that battle from the past this shadow will continue to emerge." Elizabeth said. "However that is all I can say on the matter."
"So you know more that you're refusing to tell us?" Mitsuru asked suspiciously.
"No, I simply do not know anymore than that." Elizabeth said calmly. "I hope to have been of some assistance."
"You definitely were, perhaps we can speak with you again at some point." Mitsuru said calmly. "I have a feeling you can provide assistance in our mission."
"Perhaps, well I must return." Elizabeth said. "Minato, would you be so kind as to escort me?"
"Alright, I'll be back soon." Minato said walking out of the dorm with Elizabeth.

"Oh, you one of the nice people Buu meet last night." Buu said walking up to Chidori.
"Oh, hello Buu." Chidori said calmly. "Is there something I can do for you?"
"No, Buu just want to ask where to meet you all." Buu said happily.
"I'm not sure, though Takaya will likely get in touch with you somehow." Chidori said.
"Ok." Buu said with a smile before flying off.
"That's going to take some getting used to." Chidori said quietly.

"Goku, don't you think it's about time you went back to Earth?" King Kai asked irritably.
"I can't King Kai, if I go back then some new threat is going to arrive and everyone will be put in danger." Goku said innocently.
"Ok Goku, first of all there already is a threat to the Earth that could easily destroy it." King Kai said. "Second, you blew up my planet and you're eating the Grand Kai out of house and home."
"What, King Kai what's going on?" Goku asked suddenly.
"An ancient being on Earth since long before you were born, it's finally woken up." King Kai said. "If I hadn't seen him myself I would have thought he was just a story."
"Who, King Kai what's happening?" Goku asked urgently.
"Majin Buu was revived, I don't know how long Gohan and the others can keep him under control but if they can't he can easily destroy not just the Earth, but the entire universe." King Kai said.
"Buu, but I thought he was under control." Goku said in confusion.
"He is, but who knows how much longer." King Kai said. "Anything could happen at any moment."
"You are correct, which is exactly why Goku needs to return to the world of the living." said someone standing behind him.
"Oh my, Goku show some respect." King Kai said quickly. "Please excuse his rudeness sir."
"It's fine, I'm well aware of Goku's personality." the Supreme Kai said. "However what we need now is his assistance."
"What do you need me to do?" Goku asked seriously.
"North Kai is correct that Majin Buu is under control for the time being, however the fact remains that he is extremely dangerous and could easily decide to extinguish all life in the universe." the Supreme Kai said.
"It's hard to believe someone that powerful exists." Goku said. "Still, I'm dead so I can't go back to the Earth."
"Normally that's true, however given the circumstances your life can be restored." the Supreme Kai explained. "I'm certain that King Yemma will be understanding in this situation."
"I agree, so let's go Goku." King Kai said. "The sooner you get back to the Earth the more likely you can stop Majin Buu before the worst happens."
(Elizabeth revealed why Cell appeared during the dark hour, and the Supreme Kai is planning on bringing Goku back to life to stop Majin Buu. Next chapter Goku will arrive on Earth and reveal a plan to stop Buu if he gets out of control. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
