*AN*

Q. SSj4mars- Another great chapter, there was a hint that the Majin creature was still asleep and was a god. Would that mean we might see her/him in the future?

A. Thanks again for the praise. As for the hint...there was a subtle hint to the origins of the Majin's that I've come up with. I'll delve more into that character in the future.

Q. PyroSolracIII- Another very awesome chapter. I really enjoyed what you did in this one. I have been hoing that Videl, or Pan to reform Buu, just has Hurcule did in the Main Universe, and you definitely delivered on that. Also it is very awesome that Sixteen is a human again. On that note I imagine that he, and Belle will become pretty close. Platonic or romantic I think that would be awesome.

A. Thanks! And yeah I wanted to offer a somewhat nostalgic throwback to the original series by having Pan, Hercule's granddaughter be the one that befriends Buu. As for Sixteen I really enjoyed writing that and I'm glad it was well received. I felt like that big guy in the Manga/Anime deserved a lot from the sacrifice he made. As for what will become of him and Belle I haven't entirely decided yet.

84lyf- Belle and 16, going around the city. Wow. I kept thinking Andrew for his name. Pan and Buu chilling in the backyard like a couple of chums. I hope Videl and Chichi can can listen to her because she's the first to really see a kind and cheerful side to Buu. Ocarin blows up Babadi!

A. Yeah last chapter was sort of a calm before the much bigger storm, much like how there's a small reprieve when Hercule befriends Buu in the Manga/Anime. You'll definitely see Videl/Chi-Chi's reaction in this chapter. As for Ocarin and Babadi... I wouldn't say it's over quite yet.

Q. SCI-FIWIZARDMAN- When I played through Xenoverse the first time, I did it with a female Majin character. Her name was Aebra, not Belle (I went off of the whole magical incantation theme that was with Bibidi, Babidi, and Buu, and named her Aebra based on "abra-kadabra alakazam"), but the way I imagined my char's personality when I played is coincidentally pretty much the same as Belle's in this story. XD

So Sixteen is now a human? ...sudden unexpected twist, but I can roll with it. Definitely a nicer fate than him getting his decapitated head stomped into scrap by Cell.

Also, I see it is Pan interacting with Buu this time around. A nice way to replace Hercule (who is most certainly dead in this universe, good riddance I say) while giving Pan a role to play. Nicely done.

A. Haha I have to admit had I thought of the naming convention more with Bibidi,Babidi, Buu I would have definitely used that as a name. Oh well xD! As for Belle I wanted to make her a polar opposite in most ways to Kid Buu and have her actually reluctant to get involved at first. As for Sixteen and Pan I wanted to give them both respectfully an important role to play in the story, to avoid them becoming ...Yamchas. *cough*

Q. Zombyra-Why do I get the feeling that the majins were created by Beerus? Making Android Sixteen human was a surprise but now he can get stronger by training.

A. *Whistles Innocently* Maybe...as for Sixteen yeah I'm fairly certain no one saw that coming, I just hope it wasn't too much for some people xD

2015- now I know I'm being a nitpicking jerk here but I refuse to believe that gohan is weaker than trunks in base form. nobody truly respects gohan anymore lol, oh well. keep up the great work

A. Well I don't think you're a jerk xD As for saying Gohan is weaker in baseform...it's all a bit irrelevant till you see how strong he'll be at full power. I didn't spend all the effort of explaining a way for Gohan to come back in this fic just to have him becoming great saiyaman or a useless side character. I wasn't going to reveal this yet, but Gohan will actually be stronger than Trunks at full power. Fact will be that even though Trunks has worked to maintain SSJ3 longer, Gohan's unleashed potential and ability to maintain his full power almost indefinitely will give him a definitive edge at this point in the fic.

Q. The r4pe god- Oh man majin belle is cool as, very unexpected plot turn there really enjoyed and with the scene for android 16 turning human, that was amazing too just incredible, you imagination is priceless this is just, I can't describe this with words wtf, you should go write the story for dragonball super. Now the plot has thickened so much and so many possibilities with super 18 coming along and the tuffle scientist omfg that was fuckin great as well just shows how much more power full super 18 will become. Also about my last question about the lemon, I see another person asked for it as well xD, so I guess that answers your question of if people would like it or not, love this, easily my favortie fic hope you update soon. Also where are you from? Just wondering :P.

A. Hah well I'm glad you enjoyed that twist. I wish I was fortunate enough to be a part of something as great as a real anime xD I decided to add an extra component with because I could just see him wanting to further any agenda that would result in the complete elimination of anyone with Saiyan blood. As for Lemons I'm pleased that there's interest in it. When the timing is right in the fic I'll definitely have many more scenes. =) As for where I'm from without going into too much detail, I'm in the United States, South East to be more precise.

Q. thedarkpokemaster- wow so Majin Bella has made it so 16 is more alive, which is good as that means he can come back to life now if he is killed. And I will say I do like Majin Bella she is a very nice person who wants to be left alone to have a good life, I just know she is strong, still not stronger than Beerus or even Whis but not there yet.

And Pan making friends with Fat Buu that is just so sweet and cute but like in the Anime/Manga something bad may happen to make Buu very angry, which I will love since its going to be so cool.

A. Yeah Sixteen's transformation served several points for me, for one it helped give him more character development and potential to grow. Added some context between his connection with Belle and made it to where Sixteen can be revived like anyone else. As for Belle, yeah I wanted her to be almost like Gohan as a kid who doesn't cherish fighting or destruction, In this chapter you'll see a very similar dialogue between her and Sixteen as the one between Gohan/Sixteen in the show.

Q. WillS3D- Will you be introducing any other new or old characters as the story goes that we haven't seen

A. I'll definitely introduce more characters, though probably not as frequently as the way I introduced the OC's in this fic. I want to avoid crowding the fic too much. I think you'll see that the fic after the Buu Arc will return to a more Trunks/Lazuli centered story.

Q. Jmac99- Okay sixteen trying to slide in with the majin girl I didn't think he had it in him. Well anyways I totally forgot about hell fighter 18 and now with the creator of Hatchyiak about to get in the mix, I fell that it can only get worse. Well until next time.

A. Haha I'm not sure if Sixteen has that in mind, but who knows what could happen? And yeah I like to touch on what's happening occasionally in Hell to show that Gero, Myu, and Raichi aren't just kicking back and doing nothing.

Q. Steffon22- Is it bad I already ship Belle and Sixteen. And wow him becoming human, that was an amazing plot twist. Keep up the good work.

A. Not at all! It makes me feel good that you're shipping that pairing already, feels like I did something right. I do enjoy twists that I suspect no one can predict haha.

Q. SSJ5 Gogeta- Wow I'm amazed this is really good one of the best T/18 fics I've read yet. Please write this through til the end. You really have done a nice job at keeping everyone in character. While going though the changes of accepting 18. And a awesome way for Trunks to reach SS2 by the way.

A. Thanks for the praise! And yeah I've been trying to get into the heads of the versions of the characters I've portrayed and make them feel more realistic? I thought it was a nice Arc to have Trunks start letting go of his Past.

5 Gogeta- Aw I was expecting a lemon shower scene in this chapter. But good they catch a little break

A. Haha I almost wrote a lemon for this scene, but I didn't want it to take away from the rest of the chapter's tone.

Q. SSJ5 Gojeta- Nice chapter, so now that 16 is human? Did that make him stronger or is he more like 17,and 18 now with this change? Will there be any trunks 18 interaction any time soon? With buu and the Majin girl seemingly good for now will they not have to fight them now after all the preparation for them? And with Dr Rachi helping out now how will this super 18 turn out seems like it could backfire on gero considering she's purged all the evil from her heart unless they get a stronger way to mind control her. And my last question did zangya lose her Majin power up even though she regained control of herself

A. I would say Sixteen is now like the siblings in that he's capable of becoming stronger through training, though he didn't receive any sort of powerup from the change itself. As for Buu and Belle things seem calm now, but it only takes a single incident to change all of that. As for Raichi's involvement with the Super 18 project it will have an impact on the resulting project, but I can't really go much into detail with that at the moment without spoiling something important xD As for Zangya I'll delve more into that soon.

A couple of hours had now passed at Mount Paozu as nightfall began to slowly approach. In that time Pan had been talking to Buu unaware of the danger that the Majin could really pose her.

"Pan it's time to come inside! You're grandmother is about to start d-" Videl's voice faded to a mere whisper as she stepped outside and saw her daughter seated next to a large pink alien like creature. Despite her weak powerlevel she could tell this man...this creature was frighteningly strong. "P-pan what are you doing?! What have I told you about talking to strangers?" She asked as she tried to keep her tone even.

Pan blinked as she looked away from Buu and up at her mother. "It's ok Mama! This is Mister Buu! We exchanged names so we're not strangers! We're friends! Isn't that right Mister Buu?" she asked as she smiled innocently at the large Majin.

Buu blinked as he looked between Videl and Pan. "Friends?"

Pan nodded her head. "Uh huh friends! You're really nice and funny Mister Buu! A friend is someone important to you! Someone you care about. You're my friend." she declared as she reached out and wrapped her arms around the Majin's side.

Videl tensed as she was afraid of the creature's reaction. Slowly Buu smiled as his large gloved hand patted her head slowly. "Ooo Buu see! Buu like Pan too! Pan is Buu's friend too!"

Pan giggled as she looked up at her mom. "See Mama! Can Mister Buu stay for supper?"

Videl allowed the tension in her shoulders to relax a bit as she forced a smile. "I guess if he's your friend...that it's alright. I'm going to go tell your grandmother. It'll be dark soon so I want you inside within the next twenty minutes. And make sure you wash up so your granny doesn't get upset." she said as she turned glancing once more over her shoulder, before she walked back towards the house. 'That creature makes me nervous, but I have to tell Chi-Chi or else she might really overreact. Gohan...I can't wait till you're home. It's time we were a whole family again' she thought as she opened the door, before allowing herself inside.

"What in the world is going on?" Dende mused aloud as he stepped forward.

"Did you sense something?" Lazuli asked as she stepped forward resting her arms beneath her bosom.

"Have to say I'm surprised things are so quiet..." Lapis mused.

Dende slowly shook his head. "No...but that's just it. Majin Buu and Majin Belle aren't causing any trouble at the moment. Both Gohan's family and West City are safe for now."

"Now that I've recovered...I should go and get Pan, Chi-Chi, and Videl to safety." Bulla suggested.

"That may not be wise..." Zangya mused.

"What do you mean?" Bulla asked as she tilted her head to stare at the alien woman.

"I know this sounds like a strange request, but somehow both of these Majin seem pacified. We could possible end this without anymore bloodshed." Dende suggested, before his eyes widened marginally. "Though I sense someone who could use your help."

"Who?" Bulla asked her eyes widening.

Dende's serious expression faded slightly. "It's weak...but I can still sense Ocarin. If you bring him back here to me...I should be able to save him."

The Demi-Saiyaness bowed her head. "Of course...I'll be right back." she said as she raised two fingers to her forehead, before vanishing from sight.

"These humans are incredible!" Belle exclaimed from her perch a top Sixteen's shoulder. She raised an icecream cone to her lips, before taking a small bite. "There is so much to eat! So many different types of clothes, A girl could get use to this.." she mused with big shiny eyes.

The Redhead beneath her chuckled. "I have to agree with you. I thought they were strange at first, but their ways have grown on me. I part of me envied them, but now I know how they feel for myself." he mused as a hint of a smile pulled at his features, before fading. "You know though this is the reason why I'd be willing to risk so much to protect all of this." he mused as they began to walk through a large market area.

The female Majin looked down at the former android. "This again huh? I told you I've made up my mind."

The man in question nodded his head. "Yes you've said that, but once you've found something worth protecting...you're willing to put more on the line to save it."

Belle was quiet for a moment. "Destruction...death, killing someone else to achieve some end, Is there ever any justification for it?" she asked as she hopped off his shoulder, before walking at his side.

The tall man walked forward in silence a few moments, before stopping in front of a large water fountain, the setting sun cast a glow upon the fountain itself, bathing it in an orange and red glow. "Love." he mused.

"Love?" The Majin girl questioned.

"When you find something you love...something you cherish...you have to be willing to fight for it. There are those that words alone will never reach. I believe that Wizard who released you is one such being. Fighting for the right cause is not evil...but doing nothing...when you possess the ability to make a difference...that makes you just as guilty as the party the commited the atrocity."

The Pink skinned woman stared wide eyed at the tall man for a long moment as any verbal response seemed to allude her.

"Buu really hungry now!" Majin Buu exclaimed as he patted his belly.

Pan giggled. "Come on then silly! Mama and Grandma should be about done..." she said as she reached up and grabbed Buu's much larger hand as she started pulling him towards the house.

"Buu what are you doing ?!..." A voice screeched behind them.

The pair turned to see Babidi floating there with a scowl seated on his face. " Babidi..." Buu said before huffing.

"Don't you look at me like that! You fat disobediant cretin! How dare you try to kill me! And now I find you here playing with a filthy child. It's disgusting."

Pan released her hold on Buu's hand as she stalked forward. "I don't care what you say about me, but don't you talk bad about my friend! Mister Buu don't listen to this guy."

Babidi grinned evily. "Insignifigant insect...Allow me to show you what you should have done to this child Buu, then I will personally take control of your mind like I should have done from the beginning." he said as held out both of his hands.

Horror filled Pan's eyes as she was lifted into the air, before she began to gasp for air.

Buu's eyes began to widen as everything happened so quickly.

The Majin barely registered a gasp from the girl, before he heard a sickening crunch. Time seemed to move in slow motion as Pan's limp body fell to the ground.

"See now Buu. You have no friends. You are nothing more than a tool of destruction.." Babidi chuckled as he held out his hand as he began to chant.

Majin Buu began to shake as he gritted his teeth. "Pan was Buu's friend...Buu's only friend. Buu hurt BAD!" he roared as he closed the distance between himself and Babidi within a split second, before his fist collided into Babidi's face. A Crushing sound could be heard as the Wizard's head was caved in, before his head was seperated from his shoulders. Buu continued to shake as he stalked over towards Pan, before bending down to pick up the small girl.

"Pan oh God no!" Videl screamed as she burst outside with Chi-Chi at herside.

"What did you do monster?!" Chi-Chi cried.

Buu sniffed as tears began to roll down his large cheeks as he held out his palms over Pan. "Buu no want this! Buu no want this! Open eyes open eyes!" he cried as he began to pour energy into Pan.

Several seconds passed, before the girl's eyes began to flutter open as she tilted her head up to look at Buu.

"M-mister Buu..." she mumbled.

Majin Buu stepped backwards as he still continued to shake as steam poured out of his head. "Buu can't stop it. Move now!" he yelled as he began to grip at his forehead.

Videl's eyes widened as she saw her daughter alive and awake once more. She immediately ran and picked up the small girl, before looking at Chi-Chi. "Come on we have to leave!"

The older woman nodded. "R-right!" she agreed as the began to run away from the troubled Majin.

"Buu!" Pan screamed as he held her hand towards the creature as she was carried away.

Bulla kicked a large boulder out of the way, before she heard an audible gasp. She let out a relieved sigh as she saw Ocarin laying in front of her. He was bloodied, burnt, and barely conscious, but he was still breathing for now.

"Thank goodness..." she breathed as she leaned down and heft the warrior over one of her shoulders, before her eyes widened in horror as she felt a horrible power in the distance.

'What in the world is that?...I can feel Majin Buu's energy...but I can feel something even more malevolent.' she thought, before her eyes fell back to Ocarin. 'We have to get you back now so Dende can heal you..' she thought as she raised two fingers to her forehead, before she disappearing.

Belle finally found her voice as she shivered slightly. "No...the Evil side of Buu. I can feel it."

Sixteen's eyes widened. "What do you mean? What is this power I'm feeling?"

The female Majin clenched her fists as she turned away from the fountain they were standing near, before tilting her head skywards.

"As I told you before...the original form of Buu and I polar opposites. The one your friends encountered, the one that I saw today...was different. Child like...he had the potential to be good and peaceful, but the evil within him has been released."

"What does that mean?"

The pink skinned woman frowned. "It means that very soon a battle between the good and evil parts of Majin Buu will begin. If the evil side manages to consume the good...I fear that Buu will become much stronger than he is now and he will begin laying waste to this planet."

"You could stop it though..." Sixteen said.

"I told you already...I don't want to fight my own kind." Belle snapped.

"If it's truly a battle between good and evil...you could help the good side win. If you do nothing then you might as well be helping the evil side of Majin Buu. The only warriors possibly capable of fighting Buu won't likely be here for nearly twelve more hours. This Planet may not have that long. Please Belle...put aside your reservations and fight...before it's too late for everyone on this planet!"

The Diminutive Majin girl frowned as she furrowed her brow and clenched her fists at her side. Several moment of silence passed between the duo, before the girl's shoulders relaxed as her hands unclenched.

"You said that fighting for the right cause makes it worth it right?...Then I'll help. I've only just awaken, I'd like to get to know this world more, see more of it's life and people, I can't do any of that if Buu destroys it all." she said quietly as she slowly levitated off of the ground.

Sixteen bowed his head. "Thank you. I'll come with you." he suggested only to see the Majin shake her head as she looked down at the red headed man.

"No. No offense big guy, but you'd only slow me down. When this is all over you can finish showing me around. What do you think of Andro?" she asked.

The man blinked. "Andro?"

The Majin laughed lightly. "For your name? Remember I said I'd help you with that. It's not the most creative, but I like it." she mused.

The red haired man tried the name a couple of times on his tongue, before finally nodding. "It will do. I'm in your debt...you have my word that we can pick up where we left off here."

"I'll hold you to it Andro." she mused offering him a coy wink, before she titled her head to the sky, before rocketing into the distance.

Majin Buu panted deeply as he finally found that the anger and pain he'd felt had subsided. He even felt a bit calmer, but that soon disappeared as he felt a malevolent power behind him, he turned only to come face to face with a tall gray Majin with black eyes.

"You! Who be you?"

The Tall Majin scowled. "I'm Majin Buu. Who are you?" he asked his teeth gritting as he stepped closer.

"You no Buu! Me Buu!" The Fat Majin declared as clenched his fists as he too took a step forward till he and the other Majin were face to face.

The Gray skinned Majin grinned wildly. "Whoever remains standing is the real Buu then. The other...will be nothing." he mused.

Fat Buu huffed. "You turn into chocolate!" he delcared as he fired a beam out of his head only to have it swatted away by the other Majin.

"Pathetic as if I'd be defeated by that...but now I believe it's my turn..." the other Majin mused as he clenched his fists as without warning the skies began to grow even darker as gale force winds began to surround him. Trees and rocks would begin to levitate as well as even the entirety of the Son House.

Fat Buu began to tremble as he felt the other Majin's Aura and power skyrocket.

"Thanks kid I owe you and Bulla one." Ocarin mused, before his eyes widened. "What in the world am I sensing? It feels like there's a third Majin and it's stronger than Buu."

Lazuli stepped forward as she had a hand resting almost in a protective manner upon the swell of her belly. "That's not all. Their too close to Pan,Chi-Chi, And Videl. Thankfully I can feel them retreating, but...still it's too dangerous." She said as a look of worry became evident on her face.

Bulma rested a hand on the blonde's shoulder. "Hey they'll be fine. Pan will be too."

Bulla sighed as she walked forward. "She's right. Because I'm going to make sure their safe."

"Wait Bulla it's too dangerous you can't..." Her mother began to protest.

The blonde's lip twitched slightly. "I'll be back in a flash. I don't intend to fight anyways."

Before her mother could say anything further she raised two fingers to her head and vanished.

"She should be fine. I do believe the two Majin down there are more focused on one another and the three women are now out of sight of those two." Dende said.

The blonde frowned, before simply nodding her head.

Ocarin grunted. "I don't know what to make of this..but I can sense that Majin Girl heading towards them now too. This isn't looking good for any of us. That battle could end up destroying the planet. All we can do is hope it doesn't come to that and that we can bide more time. I just hope Trunks and Gohan have made some headway in their training."

"They will have I'm sure of it.." Lazuli said quietly with a sense of certainity.

"By the way where's your brother and Zangya?" Ocarin asked as he glanced over at the Blonde. "And Sixteen for that matter?"

Lazuli smiled slightly. "Those two went off for some privacy, probably to talk or other things I'd rather not think of, as for Sixteen he was suppose to buy time for us, but I didn't feel any destruction from West City. The Big guy did it. I just hope he's alright."

Dende blinked. "It's strange...I can feel someone starting to head in this direction. I've never felt their energy before.."

*AN*

Apologies for this Chapter taking so long and that it was shorter than usual. Had a bit of writer's block coupled with copious amounts of overtime at work. I'll try to avoid it taking this long for an update going forward. Thanks again and I'll see you all again soon!

*Powerlevels*

I'm sure there is a lot of conflicting information on various sites that says otherwise, but since this is only suppose to be a comparison, please don't flame me too much about the powerlevels!
