Majin Warlock Saga
Centuries passed as new evils came and went with the Kaioshin sometimes getting involved. It was the thirtieth generation however that faced the greatest threat in the Majin Cult. The Majin Cult was an order of evil witches and warlocks that spanned multiple galaxies and could enslave others by unleashing the evil in their hearts. This proved a great potential threat to the universe and forced the Kaioshin to wipe out the evil order over a period of centuries, leaving Bibidi of Buskin as their last surviving warlock. A fat, green skinned creature resembling an insect, he always wore wizard robes complete with a belt and helmet that bore the Majin crest. Bibidi had been fighting the Kaioshin for decades now, vowing never to rest until revenge was his.
The evil warlock currently resided on a massive planetoid near the tip of the universe. It was here in his lair that he stood hunched over and studied his notes. The people of Buskin treated magic like science and Bibidi was no exception. His spells were written as complex formulas amd often went through many trial and error experiments. While his Majin brothers and sisters had often mocked his methods, Bibidi believed this approach would be the key to ultimate power.
Making a few more alterations, the Majin Warlock gazed at his latest formula and broke into an evil grin. "Perfect" he cackled to himself "just perfect! After so many years of trying, I've finally found the way to create the perfect Majolem!"
Majolems were magical monsters created the cult to cause widespread destruction and were the predecessors to possessed Majin Warriors. The last time this occurred was eight hundred years ago when the Majin Warlock Hoi conjured the demonic Hirudegarn into being. His creation almost destroyed the entire galaxy until it was slain by the Kaioshin with aid from the warrior Tapion of Konats, and he along with it. As Hoi was the last member with the knowledge to create them, Majolems were never used again after that but in light of his past defeats, Bibidi was prepared to revive the tradition.
The warlock looked up from his notes and bellowed "Babidi , come here at once!" A minute or so later, a young Buskin with yellow skin entered the room. This was Babidi, Bibidi's only son and the target of his rage. His birth had resulted in the death of Bibidi's wife Gamoola and caused the once good magician to turn to the darker side of his craft in an effort to resurrect her. This evolved into a mad lust for power that resulted in father and son's banishment from Buskin and their subsequent induction into the nearly extinct Majin Cult.
"Yes father?" "Make haste and gather my forces boy, the time of our vengeance is hand." "As you command" Babidi nodded and left to relay his sire's wishes. Bibidi watched him go for a moment before a smirk spread across his face. The Kaioshin wouldn't know what hit them!
…
An hour later, Bididi's Majin warriors were assembled before him. These possessed men and women had all sold their souls to the warlock for one reason or another, being given incredible strength at the cost of enslavement by the Majin crest on their brow. All stood at attention as their master held out his crystal ball for them to see. "the planets you see before you are each inhabited by a warrior of great strength and great evil" Bibidi announced "any one of you could easily defeat them but all of them together are a force to reckoned with, one that will accomplish what our order has strived to do for centuries: destroy the Kaioshin!"
The crowd erupted into cheers for only a moment before the warlock silenced them. "You will each collect your chosen target and return here within six months' time. The honor of the Majin Cult is at stake and failure will not be tolerated. Now go!"
With these words, the Majin Warriors were sent out. With their magically enhanced fleet of ships ,they traveled across the entire universe in record time, attacking each of the four galaxies while finding and defeating their targets. This same magic prevented the four Kaio from s seeing these activities and alerting their superiors. By the end of six months, a new evil was about to be born.
The lower levels of Bibidi's lair were where he tested his most evil spells. True to his Buskin nature, it was built like a highly advanced science lab despite the mysticism practiced within. Such was the case with the statis field generator which functioned like a normal machine but generated otherworldly energy just the same and could contain near infinite occupants. It currently held within it a hundred of the most evil warriors in the four galaxies, their bodies floating in mid-air and their faces frozen in looks of rage and terror alike.
The orchestrator of their capture entered the room moments later carrying a handheld measuring device meant for calculating Kili. Kili was the buskin equivalent of chi and Bibidi needed exact measurements before work on his Majolem could begin. The warlock ran the device over each warrior, setting it to read out not only their current maximum level but also to calculate how strong they could possibly become by training for the rest of their lives. Once this was done, he added the numbers together to get an end result of one hundred million Kili, which would range well over one billion in normal chi readings. "Perfect!" Bibidi cackled "just perfect! It is now time to commence the creation of the greatest Majolem in history!"
Stepping back to prepare himself, Bibidi raised his arms and chanted "Paparpapa!" The spell took effect instantly and every captive warrior had their chi shoot out of their mouths and travel into a large chamber connected directly to the statis field. As the warriors faded out of existence,the last of their chi was poured into the chamber and merged together into a mass of energy. This energy was then converted into magic. Magic was able to be manipulated far easier than chi and Bibidi wished to have a Majolem composed of both to grant it a wide range of abilities. Once fifty percent of the chi was converted into magic, it took on a pink color that then morphed into a humanoid shape. Bibidi's Majolem was ready.
The warlock's face fell however when the creature stepprd into the light and was revealed as a short pink creature, barely four feet tall with pitch black eyes and tiny red pupils. A tentacle extended from the back of it's head and dangled as it walked. The only clothes it wore were some white gi pants,black shoes, some black and gold arm guards, and a belt bearing the Majin crest on it's buckle.
Bibidi was furious. "This is my Majolem!? It can't be! It's nothing more than a walking wad of gum!"
The warlock stepped closer to inspect his creation more thoroughly. It's eyes were sinister to be sure but it was staring blankly at him. Bibidi couldn't even be sure if it was aware of his presence. "Majolem,this is your master Bibidi and if you can understand me,nod once."
The Majolem did nothing and a flustered Bibidi pulled out his notes to read them over again. "What could have gone wrong!? I should be looking at something that makes Hirudegarn look like a housepet, not this…thing!" The warlock cast one more disgusted look at his creation and sighed.
"I'll have to start from scratch but first, to take out the trash. Paparpapa!" Bibidi's spell teleported a dozen or so of his warriors to him to surround the Majolem on all sides. He smirked at their battle-hungry expressions before he ordered "destroy the pink creature as slowly and painfully as possible!" If he had to destroy several years worth of work, then Bibidi was at least determined to get some enjoyment out of it.
The Majin warriors pounced on their master's failed creation only to be blown back by an explosion of pink energy. Bibidi was barely able to surround himself with a magical barrier in time and when he lowered it, he gasped in shock. His chamber was completely destroyed and his warriors were reduced to skeletal remains! The warlock would later learn that this destruction was caused by the bare minimum of his creation's strength.
Bibidi inspected the damage for several moments before what looked like approval crossed his face. "Hmmm, it seems I underestimated you" the Majin Warlock mused "you may be of use after all." The Majolem suddenly turned and it's gaze landed right on Bibidi. It seemed to realize just who had sent it's attackers against it.
As a feral snarl formed on his creation's face, Bibidi suddenly became nervous. The Majolem stalked towards him like a predator, bits of pink lightning crackling around it's body as if it were powering up. "Now now" the warlock stammered as he backed away "let's not do anything hasty. I am your father after all."
Bibidi continued backing away until he felt himself hit something hard. Upon realizing he was up against a wall, the warlock knew he was trapped. As the Majolem attacked, he did the only thing he could: cast a spell. "Paparpapa!"
The Majolem was soon trapped in a ball-like cocoon and dropped to the floor. Bibidi breathed a sigh of relief. "That was a close one" the warlock muttered "and yet, I'm still very intrigued. No Majolem in the history of the Majin Cult has ever had that much power as a newborn,not even Hirudegarn."
Wanting to learn more, Bibidi pulled out his Kili reading device and set it to read his creation's maximum potential. He received a shock when the divice imploded in his hands! 'Well,it seems I succeeded after all' the warlock thought to himself 'but how can I hope to control something that strong?'
Bibidi cast a glance at the cocoon prison he'd conjured. The Majolem was struggling within and only his newborn state kept him from escaping right then. He would only grow stronger with time and while the Majin Warlock was more than eagar to see that strength used against his enemies, his own fate was still in question. He doubted the Majin enslavement spell would work on a creature already pure evil and no records of how the Majolems of the past were controlled still existed.
"I suppose I can keep you inside this ball until I need you" the warlock muttered to his creation "but you do need a name." Bibidi rubbed his chin in thought and tried to remember names from his former home world that would fit his Majolem. It wasn't until he remembered his shock at the creature's size that it finally came to him. "Buu" he said with a wide evil grin "or 'demon child' when roughly translated from Buskin. I've called Babidi that often enough but hopefully, you won't be such a disappointment. Yes Majin Buu, I think you're going to make your old dad very proud indeed."
…
The next day, Bibidi's men loaded Buu's ball into the warlock's personal ship. Their master was standing off to the side with his son, watching the proceedings with an evil smirk. "Take a look boy" the elder Buskin said to Babidi "today, you witness my greatest triumph. The Majin Cult's mightiest warrior is about to be unleashed upon the universe and the reign of the Kaioshin shall finally come to a glorious end!"
Babidi didn't look very convinced. "But father, you've said that hundreds of time and always lost. What make you think this time will be any different?" Bibidi responded to this remark with a slap to his son's head.
"Hold your tounge brat or you shall become Buu's first victim! My past defeats have been nothing but a prelude to the birth of my greatest creation, one that will surely accomplish more than you ever have." With these last words, Bibidi stalked off to board his ship. As he launched into space,he failed to notice the hurt and angry look on his son's face.
Thus began Majin Buu's rampage across the universe. Bibidi's home planet of Buskin was the first to fall, the warlock desiring revenge for his exile years ago. They then moved on throughout the entire galaxy into the next and left hundreds of thousands of planets reduced to rubble in their wake. Bibidi took delight in each death Buu caused but always remained weary. More than once, he had snapped at his creation and risked his wrath only to calm Buu somehow at the last minute.
It wasn't long before Bibidi's monster caught the attention of the Gods. The four Kaio sent their strongest students to defeat the Majolem but to no avail. Every battle seemed to bring out more of Buu's seemingly infinite power and his magical abilities rivaled even the strongest Shin-jin. He could copy moves at a glance, transform his victims into objects, regenerate from nearly anything, and so much more. Majin Buu seemed invincible.
The Kaioshin found out about Buu much later than they would have liked. The Thirtieth Generation of Higher Gods was among the most powerful and had became famous across the universe for their efforts against the Majin Cult. There was Senji, the strong and sturdy South Kaioshin, Renalla,the beautiful and mischievous yet deceptivally strong West Kaioshin, Oko,the physically weak North Kaioshin who was skilled with a sword nonetheless, and Shin,the young Kaioshin of the East and weakest of the four.
Shin was an inexperienced Higher God ,having been picked by lottery to replace Divinia ,the female East Kaioshin who had sacrificed herself during the last battle with Bibidi five years ago. He had not even received orientation on the Potara when he was selected and was not warmly received by the others. In many ways, he still wasn't. Oko was indifferent but ignored him just the same, Renalla used him as a target for her pranks, and Senji seemed to hate him. Divinia had been South Kaioshin's lover,having trained and fought alongside her since they became Kaioshin. To lose her to Bibidi was unbearable and seeing her replaced so casually was another pain altogether.
The only one who seemed to believe in Shin was Karma, the Rou Dai Kaioshin. He was a plump individual with a child-like personality and a taste for sweets. These qualities had once led other Shin-Jin to doubt he could become a Kaioshin at all, much less Dai Kaioshin. They soon learned that beneath this exterior lay great wisdom and considerable strength that had lead the Kaioshin well for several millinia now.
On this particular day, the Higher Gods were enjoying what they believed to be a period of peace. Shin was playing his flute, Oko was fishing, and Renalla had forced Senji into a playful chase. This particular scene caught the East Kaioshin's eye and brought on a small smile. It was refreshing to be a witness to West Kaioshin's antics rather than a victim.
"You smile young one, but I sense you are troubled within" a high sounding voice spoke up "a penny for your thoughts?" Shin turned around to see Karma himself beaming at him. The Dai Kaioshin was gladly enjoying the calm with his subordinates, dining on fruit and drinking honey. He was also the only one kind enough to sit with the misfit Kaioshin.
"It's nothing my lord, I merely feel somewhat uneasy these days. I've been having odd dreams lately." "Are they merely dreams? Karma asked sagely "or are they more? Please,tell me of them."
Shin didn't answer at first but instead nodded to a nearby hill where a legendary weapon lay trapped for generations. "Ah yes, the Z Sword" Karma said with a smile "I too was fascinated by the legend when I was young. Forged fifteen generations ago to slay Demon King Janemba only to be trapped in that hill,it is said that whoever pulls it free will be given power beyond anything ever seen though none have succeeded."
"I feel it is more than a legend my lord. In my dreams, I have seen a golden haired warrior pull the sword free and use it to slay a monster even more terrible than Janemba was said to be. I believe this to not be simply dreams but visions of what will come in the future."
Karma was silent for a moment but his smile was still in place. "Have you shared this with the others?" Shin was silent for a moment and glanced towards his fellow Kaioshin with a look of sadness. "They hold no interest in what I have to say at the moment…or ever."
Karma placed a comforting hand on the younger God's shoulder. "Truthfully, what they choose to think of you doesn't matter as long as you have faith in yourself. I see much of myself in you young Shin and I can tell you that as long as you believe in yourself, you can achieve greatness. I learned this for myself centuries ago."
Shin didn't look that convinced but a small smile crossed his face. Karma patted him on the back and continued "I cannot be certain if these visions have any bearing on the present but I can sense that with patience, their meaning will be revealed in time. For now, just enjoy this time of peace."
It was at that moment that the sky darkened and lightning began to flash. Every Kaioshin turned their heads upward, four in sudden awareness and one in confusion. "My lord, what is this?" Shin asked Dai Kaioshin. Even after five years on the job,there were still things the young Kaioshin didn't know.
"This is a sign" Karma answered in a tone filled with dread "it only occurs when a great evil is on the horizon in the mortal realm. The last time it occurred was five years ago." The three senior Kaioshin looked at one another and all thought the same thing: Bibidi had returned.
…
All the higher Gods were soon gathered around a crystal ball that confirmed their suspicions. They watched angerly their old enemy reveled in the destruction that what was undoubtedly his creation caused to an innocent planet in the Western Galaxy. South Kaioshin in particular shook with rage as memories of his last encounter with the warlock played in his head. This time, Bibidi would not escape his wrath.
"It looks like a Majolem" Shin spoke up "I thought Hoi was the last Majin Warlock who knew how to create them." "He was" Senji replied through clenched teeth "but if anyone's skilled enough to do it again, it's Bibidi." "Perhaps we should seek aid from Konats" Oko said thoughtfully "the magical flute Tapion used to help us destroy Hirudegarn was passed down through his family if I recall correctly." Renalla shook her head. "Bibidi already attacked Konats and Tapion's descendent Minosha was killed fighting his creation. The flute did nothing and was destroyed as well."
Senji stood up and began slowly gathering chi. "If anyone is to face Bibidi's monster,it will be me! The warlock has plagued our universe for far too long and must pay for his crimes!" The Southern High God was about to power up when Renalla stopped him.
"Easy Senji, we all know you hold a grudge against Bibidi and that's why you shouldn't go. He's crafty and he'll use it against you. One of us will go in your place." Karma nodded in approval and said "very wise West Kaioshin and I know just who to send."
Shin's heart leaped at these words. Would he finally have a chance to prove himself? However, his hopes were dashed when his leader said "it has been a while since your last fight, hasn't it Renalla? Go and may our ancestors guide you to victory."
Renalla bowed and said "I won't fail you my lord. Come Kabito, we musn't keep Bibidi waiting." The Shin-jin servant nodded and placed a hand on his mistress' shoulder, teleporting them both away. Senji scowled at having been denied his revenge and stomped off while the others watched the battle unfold on the crystal ball. Noting the slight look of disappointment on Shin's face, Karma bent down and whispered "don't worry, your time will come."
…
Renalla found herself standing on a world in the middle of Winter. Neither she nor Kabito were effected by the extreme cold but a different kind of chill was in the air that cut them to the bone. "Bibidi and his monster are close m'lady" Kabito whispered "we must proceed with caution." Renalla only nodded and the two took to the air, extending their senses to detect the evil chi their targets practically irradiated.
They finally found Bibidi terrorizing a small village , gleefully watching his creature kill it's inhabitants. Renalla scowled in anger at the scene and hurled an energy blast to get their attention. The warlock managed to dodge at the last second and turned his gaze upward with an evil grin. "Ah, the lovely West Kaioshin. I thought after Buu over here took care of their students, we would have to deal with those pathetic Kaio first."
"They know not to intervene with our business" Renalla said evenly as she touched down "it has always been between you and us." "Indeed" Bibidi replied "though when we battled,the other three did all the work as I recall while you were on the sidelines. You were too concerned with pranks and seduction for the real work of a Kaioshin. Tell me, is that servant your latest conquest?"
"HOW DARE YOU SPEAK OF A KAIOSHIN THAT WAY, YOU LOATHSOME WARLOCK!? I SHOULD DESTROY YOU MYSELF FOR SUCH INSOLENCE!" Kabito was angry and embareassed but Renalla stayed silent. She had become used to Bibidi's mind games long ago.
"Feel free to try" Bibidi cackled at Kabito "my Majin Buu is bored and could do for a challenge,no matter how small." "We shall see who challenges whom!"
With these words,the West Kaioshin leaped into action and aimed a punch at Bibidi's smirking face. The warlock vanished at the last second however and the attack struck a distracted Buu instead,knocking him back several feet. Buu recovered quickly and locked eyes with the female Kaioshin as he let out a soft growl. A new fight was about to begin.
The Majolem leaped at Renalla and they began to trade blows, eventually becoming airborne. Kabito moved to follow but was stopped by Bibidi. The warlock began attacking with his magic and didn't let up for a second. Nothing could interrupt his creation's first test against a real Kaioshin.
…
The battle with Bibidi's Majolem pushed Renalla to the limit. It's strength weas equal to her own when they began but seemed to increase by the moment. Never in all her time as a Kaioshin had she fought this challenging an opponent. For all his powerful magic, even Bibidi was defeated with only minor difficulty when forced to fight himself.
Renalla finally managed to knock Buu through a mountain in the range they currently fought above and followed close behind. Already badly beaten, she placed all her rapidly fading strength into a massive barrage of energy blasts intended to destroy Buu completely. As she launched her final one, the cloud of smoke she had kicked up finally faded to reveal a huge hole in the side of the mountain and no Buu in sight. West Kaioshin smiled despite it being difficult to breath. 'It's over' was her final thought before a massive pink beam struck her from behind and all went black.
…
It did not take Bibidi long to find Buu after Kabito retreated from their battle. Though he could not sense chi, the warlock had a sixth sense when it came to detecting powerful magic. He hovered above the mountain range with his limited chi control and strained his eyes to spot his creation. "Where is that miserable creature?" Bibidi muttered under breath "Babidi was less troublesome as a toddler!"
He finally glimpsed a figure falling out of the opening on the other side of a mountain…a feminine figure. Dark hope arose in Bibidi's chest as he descended to the snowy ground and beheld West Kaioshin's lifeless body. With wide eyes and trembling hands, the warlock reached out to touch her before she faded away, gone to be with her ancestors.
Silence reigned for what seemed to be an eternity. Bibidi seemed to be oblivious to everything, including Buu's approach. The Majolem stood behind his creator and seemed ready to strike him down as well before Bibidi burst into a round of crazed laughter. "YOU DID IT BUU,YOU DID IT! YOU KILLED A KAIOSHIN!"
High up in Heaven,the surviving Kaioshin mourned their loss. It had been centuries since one of their own died in battle but the pain it wrought never lessened. Kabito in particular felt great shame for his cowardness and Senji felt old wounds reopen. The battle with Bibidi had just become personal.
…
Oko was next to face Buu,despite Senji's protests. The North Kaioshin believed his sword skills would allow him to overcome Buu's brute force. They fought in dense fog on the planet of Lek and the Majolem was cut in half by his foe's blade,only to be very much alive afterwards. Oko was obliterated just moments before Buu's regeneration abilities mended him good as new. …
Senji got his wish on the world of Penka and fought with a fury that had been dormant for half a decade. He pummeled Buu with his bare hands and actually had the edge for most of the battle. When he actually tore Buu's arm off, Bibidi became nervous for the first time since he debuted his creation. Perhaps boasting about East Kaioshin's death was not the best move on the warlock's part.
"I think that belongs to you" South Kaioshin taunted as he looked at Buu's fallen arm "I guess Bibidi's master creation isn't perfect after all." The warlock in question trembled as he hid behind a rock, worrying his foe was right. He watched the fight continue for several nervous minutes until he noticed Buu's arm was gone. His confusion became a look of shock when he noticed what now lurked behind the combatants.
Senji had swiftly recovered from another punch and began powering up when he noticed the shadow. He turned to see a massive pink blob, Buu's former arm, cover him completely. Bibidi watched as the remains of his creation's missing limb was magically pulled towards it's owner to became part of the Majolem's body. Then, the change started. First, Buu regenerated a new arm and then he began to swell and grow, his body ballooning with powerful muscles. In a matter of minutes, the child-like Majolem had transformed into a hulking brute! He let out a mighty roar as his power level spiked to new heights.
Bibidi couldn't believe his creation's newfound ability. Buu had just absorbed a Kaioshin and added their strength to his own! Everytime the warlock thought he knew exactly what kind of creature he's conjured up, the Majolem surprised him. It seemed that he was more powerful than even he knew.
Rather than feel proud however, Bibidi was cautious. Buu had clearly been changed by the absorbtion and looked more feral than ever. The warlock wondered if he had just lost what little control he had over his creation. He moved from his hiding place and approached the Majolem slowly.
"Buu…is that really you?" Bibidi asked in an unsure voice "you're huge!" The Majolem didn't answer at first and just sat on the grass before turning towards his creator with a look of familiarity. "Bibidi?"
Bibidi was shocked. "You can speak and you know my name? I guess you've gotten smarter as well as stronger. Finally!"
Buu's expression turned dark then and the warlock instantly regretted his words. "Bibidi think Buu need be smarter? Bibidi think Buu is dumb?" The majolem's new voice was laced with venom as he rose to his feet,showing he now dwarfed his creator.
"N…no!" Bibidi stammered as he backed away,feeling a sense of déjà vu "I simply meant that you are now blessed with a voice to articulalate your obvious brilliance." "You lie!" Buu growled as he began powering up "you always yell at Buu and think he is slave but no more! Now, Buu will smash Bibidi!"
Buu rushed towards Bibidi at full speed and the Majin Warlock paniced. No ball could possibly hold his creation now! His mind racing, Bibidi cast the only other spell he could think of at the moment: "Paparpapa!"
Buu was instantly frozen in place, his fist inches from his creator's face. Bibidi breathed a sigh of relief. 'That was close' the warlock thought 'it's clear now that I can no longer bide my time. I must take down the remaining Kaioshin now while I still can. Once they're gone, I won't need Buu anymore and I can focus on finding a way to destroy him…before he destroys me!'
The Majin Warlock reached into his cloak and pulled out a pair of Potara. Five years ago, he had stolen them from East Kaioshin after defeating her in battle and while their ability to fuse people together was of no use to him, Bibidi found they had other uses when combined with his power. After hearing an ancient myth about a witch who was sent there after summoning Death in reverse, he had slowly been weaving a spell around the Potara that was meant to open a portal to the after-life. He never thought he would get a chance to use it until today.
"Paparpapa!" The earrings began to glow as Bibidi cast his spell and a beam of pure white light shot out from them to form a portal. This portal flickered in and out of existence for several moments before an image of a planet too beautiful to be real formed within. "Come Buu, tonight we dance with the Gods" Bibidi said as a twisted grin formed across his face "unfortunately for them, it will be their last dance."
…
On the Kaioshin planet, Shin was brought out of meditation by a strange sensation. 'What was that!? It felt as if South Kaioshin's chi has become…corrupted. But how is that possible?' Shin was so consumed by these thoughts that he failed to sense Karma appear behind him.
"So, you've sensed it as well?" Karma asked as a frown crossed his normally cheerful face "I am sorry to report that it is indeed real." "But how is that possible my lord? Kaioshins are supposed to be immune to the Majin enslavement spell!"
"They are" Karma nodded gravely "but I fear that South Kaioshin has fallen victim to a far worse fate. From what I sensed, his chi has become one with Majin Buu." Shin was shocked. "That's impossible! No Majolem in history could do such a thing!"
"That's because none of those inferior creatures were created by me!" Both Kaioshin turned to see Bibidi himself and a clearly transformed Buu standing a few feet away from them. The Majin Warlock stepped forward and bowed before his enemies in mock courtesy. "Ah, the legendary Dai Kaioshin,it's truly an honor to be with you on your last day."
"How dare you come here you monster! Shin snapped as began to power up "you and your creation will pay for your crimes today!" Bibidi shifted his gaze towards Shin and seemed to notice him for the first time.
"Well, well, well ,what we have here? It seems there's a new East Kaioshin kicking around. I heard you replace them pretty easily but I could never be sure. Well youngster, I'm sorry your term in office was so short but as compensation, I'll let you be the first one Buu destroys. Paparpapa!"
Bibidi undid his spell and Buu charged straight at Shin. The Majolem's rage had become so overpowering that everyone resembled Bibidi and Buu was going to take his anger out on the warlock as many times as needed. Karma stepped in front of his young charge to defend him but ended up getting swatted aside. "Master!"
A shocked Shin just barely avoided Buu's first punch and began trading blows with him. The young Higher God had powered up to his full strength but he was completely outmatched and sent flying into a rock. With his foe pinned where he stood, Buu let out a furious growl and draw back the killing blow. It never came.
Buu was struck from out of nowhere by an unknown figure and sent flying backwards. The Majolem recovered to see it was Karma, completely unharmed and shielding his protégé. The Kaioshin leader stared intently at Buu with his usually jolly face etched into a scowl. If one looked closely enough,they would have seen he was gathering chi.
Buu recovered just as Karma fired his attack and was hit dead on. The massive blast fired from the Highest God's mouth had enough power to destroy a small planet and when the smoke cleared, Buu had been reduced to floating pink particles! For the second time that day, Bibidi became horrified. Who knew a chubby elf could be that strong!?
In contrast to the warlock, Shin was amazed by what he had seen. Never had he seen such a small amount of chi produce such a strong attack! Even the best combat instructors on Kaishin never displayed such power. It was clear now why Karma had been chosen as Dai Kaioshin of his generation.
"Master, I-" Shin began but his leader worldlessly cut him off. It wasn't over yet. The floating particles that were Buu's remains were hovering towards the Kaioshin slowly, as if trying to still attack. They also seemed to be molding themselves together somehow.
Within minutes, a huge pink mass was formed and hovering over the Dai Kaioshin. It swooped down and completely consumed the Highest God as he offered no resistance. Both Shin and Bibidi looked at the scene with a mix of confusion and fear but it was the warlock who first realized what was happening. 'Buu is absorbing Dai Kaioshin!' Bibidi thought with growing horror 'with that kind of 'll send everyone to oblivion, including me!'
"NO! Take me, I'm the one you want!" Shin yelled as the gravity of the situation dawned on him but it was too late. The absorbtion was complete and a new Buu was about to be born.
The Majolem that reformed himself however was like nothing Shin expected. Rather than an even more powerful version of the monster he had just fought, the young Kaioshin watched a fat pink creature with a childish smile take shape and begin frolicking about like a toddler. It wore an open black vest that was a bit small for it,a purple cape and odd yellow mittens. Only the tentacle extending from it's head and the belt it wore identified it as Bibidi's creation.
The new Buu did a cartwheel and landed in front of his creator with a look of curiousity on his fat face. "Me Buu, who you?" Bibidi winced at the sound of his creation's new high pitch voice. What had that Kaioshin done?
"I…I'm Bibidi" the warlock said a bit hesitantly "I made you." The Majolem frowned slightly at that and looked almost disbelieving. "You make Buu?" "Of course I made you!" Bibidi was almost insulted "I made you and you do everything I say!"
"Why?" Buu pouted like a spoiled child and crossed his arms over his chest indignantly, as if demanding an answer. Bibidi scowled as memories of Babidi's childhood flooded his brain but then paused to think. Maybe a different approach was needed for an obviously different Buu.
"Well, because if you do, I'll give you cake." Buu raised an eyebrow at that. "Is cake good?" Bibidi chuckled at that ,knowing he now had his creation hooked.
"Yes Buu,cake is the tastiest snack in the universe" the warlock said as he turned his back on the Majolem "and I'll give you some everyday but only if you do exactly as I ask." "Okay" Buu chirped happily "what you say ,Buu do." Bibidi smiled wickedly when he heard that. Why couldn't Babidi have been this easy to raise?
"Splendid! Now why don't you take a nap in your ball? I'll wake you when it's time to…play." Buu nodded and Bibidi conjured his ball around him, a smirk on the warlock's face as he did so.
"Well, this was certainly an unexpected turn of events" Bibidi muttered to himself "maybe I won't have to destroy him now. At the very least, he's easier to control." "Don't forget about me, you monster!" The Majin Warlock turned to see a battered Shin rise to his feet, still willing to fight to the end.
"Oh, you're still here?" Bibidi rolled his eyes "I thought a kid like you would go running to Mommy and Daddy Kaioshin by now." Shin scowled and entered a fighting stance. "I may be young Bibidi but I am still a God while you're a mortal. It was very foolish to call your creature off before he finished me."
Bibidi merely chuckled. "I've faced your kind before and won boy. I even fought the last East Kaioshin,a warrior far beyond your caliber and she was a female! You stand no chance. Paparpapa!"
The warlock fired a magical blast from his hands that caught Shin off guard and made him fall to his knees in pain. He then followed up by magically hurling two large rocks at the Kaioshin and knocking him on his back. The young God groaned and tried to stand just as his enemy hovered over him and sneered mockingly. "Pathetic! Is this what the Kaioshin have to offer these days? I'm not even trying yet!"
With another cry of "Paparpapa!" Bibidi made the ground beneath his foe explode, creating a small crater and sending the Kaioshin high into the air. The warlock watched his foe vanish from sight and actually felt dissatisfied with his victory. "That was supposed to be a Kaioshin? Babidi could've beaten him when he was four! I suppose it was foolish of me to think there were any challenges left in the universe."
"If it is a challenge you seek, look no further warlock!" Bibidi turned just in time to see Kabito throw a punch towards him. A split second before the attack make contact, the warlock spoke a single word: "shield." A magical barrier surrounded Bibidi and absorbed Kabito's attack easily. The warlock smirked at the enraged Shin-jin and asked mockingly "care to try again?"
…
On a hilltop not far from the battle site, the legendary Z Sword stood tall and proud despite the destruction being waged around it. The ancient presence within the relic however ,was quite annoyed at having been disturbed. "What's going out out there!? It feels like a Kaishin quake!"
The Fiifteenth Generation East Kaioshin had been sealed within the Z Sword for countless ages but was fully aware of all that went on in the outside world. He had watched several generations of Kaioshin come and go, finding each one more annoying and whiny than the last. The current ones had thus far impressed him though and he had a soft spot for the East Kaioshin, who reminded him much of himself in his youth. He used his limited power to see that a badly beaten Shin had landed next to the Z Sword and became immediately concerned.
"So, that Bibidi and his pet monster dare attack here!?" Elder Kaioshin exclaimed after scanning his counterpart's mind "it's high time that miserable little warlock got what he deserved!" The old God put all his effort into focusing his power on Shin. While he couldn't possibly unlock his counterpart's potential in his current imprisonment, it was possible to heal the young God and boost his energy levels.
While he worked, Elder Kaioshin spoke to his descendent telepathically. 'Wake up Shin' the old God's voice sounded in East Kaioshin's head 'you must defeat Bibidi. You are the only one who can.' "Too strong" Shin mumbled in his semi-conscious state, only dimly aware that someone spoke to him.
Elder Kaioshin rolled his eyes. 'It's not always t the strongest who wins the fight youngster and besides, you're a lot stronger than you think. Don't you remember what Dai Kaioshin said? You must trust in yourself and you can accomplish great things. He believed in you and sacrificed himself so you could win the day. Do you really want to let him down?'
These words stirred something in Shin. As the healing process was completed, he stood and was filled with new resolve. While he would not remember what truly occurred that day, he flew off ready to defeat Bibidi once and for all. Elder Kaioshin smiled as he watched him go. That kid may just get him out of this damned sword one day.
…
Bibidi had long grown tired of playing with Kabito and now pinned the Shin-jin to the ground with mystic restraints. He then conjured up a pendulum and watched with sadistic glee as his foe got closer to death by the minute. "You know, I think I've figured out my next target" the warlock mused casually "you Kaioshin people are born on a special planet right? I think I might send Buu there next. Any tourist spots you recommend?"
"The Kaioshin will see you spend an eternity in Hell for your crimes Bibidi,just you wait!" Kabito was fearless even in the face of certain doom. "The Kaioshin are dead and they'll never rise again if I can help it!" Bibidi replied darkly "you think I was kidding? I'm going to erase every one of you so-called Gods until the only one the universe worships is me!"
"The only place you'll be worshipped is Hell, Bibidi!" The Majin Warlock turned to see Shin flying towards him at top speed, looking so strong that Kabito barely recongnized him. Bibidi however was unimpressed. "You're still alive? Stubborn fool! Paparpapa!"
Bibidi fired another magical blast only for the Kaioshin to swat it away. Shin proceeded to plow into the warlock and pummel him,never letting up for a second. Kabito was amazed. Not even the South Kaioshin fought with such fire!
Shin eventually ended his assault with his Shockwave attack, leaving Bibidi beaten and bloody. The half dead warlock crawled over to Buu's ball and made a desperate plea to the sleeping Majolem. "Pl-p-please-B-B-Buu…come out. Your master needs-ARG!" Bibidi's plea was cut short as East Kaioshin's boot crushed his skull, ending his life forever.
Kabito was instantly freed with Bibidi's demise and approached his master. The young God was breathing heavily, trying to control his rage. He had killed but he had saved perhaps all of creation in the process. 'You have been avenged my brothers and sisters' Shin thought as he gazed at Buu's ball 'may what I have done bring you far more peace than it has me.'
In the aftermath of Bibidi's death, a wave of change sweapt throughout Heaven. Because Kaioshin could live for billions of years, it took that long for new golden fruit to sprout on a Kaishin tree. This meant that the universe would go for millinia without Kaioshin to watch over it. As a result, the Kaio would now be given more responsibility while a still inexperienced Shin would operate from the shadows with Kabito's assistance
Sometime after this announcement was made, a new threat was brought to the last Kaioshin's attention. Bibidi's son Babidi had surpassed his father and was seeking revenge. Despite his greater power, the young warlock's attempts to create his own Majolem had been unsuccessful and he now traveled the universe recruiting followers and gathering enough power to awaken the dormant Buu from his slumber. The first to be enslaved was Dabura. Thanks to his home's close proximity to it, it was easy for Babidi to open a portal to the Demon Realm and recruit it's ruler. Dabura would serve as the warlock's top warrior and had personally inspected the planet that Shin hid Buu's ball on. This planet would be called Earth and it's people were newly evolved and weak. Shin and Kabito would pursue Bibidi across the universe to prevent Buu's second coming but none could predict how much the planet would change during the centuries long trip it took to reach there.
AN: I tried to make this match the Anime flashbacks as best I could but some things might still be off. Oh well.
