Foreword: Time for a whole bunch of violence with some biting commentary of Kai methodology (the latter done by Bansuri). Let's get this Tournament Arc underway! *EDIT* I will still be using , I'm just putting this story on Ao3 too in case fanfic wants to act quirky. Will slow down updates so sorry about that...

After the announcement of brackets, the fighters walked to the wairing area by the arena and past the announcer who nods at the participants before doing a double take at Goku.

Announcer: "Well I'll be, Goku! It's good to see you again after all these years"

Goku: "Heya Announcer! Last time I saw you was at the 23rd World Tournament when I took on Piccolo!"

Announcer: "That's right and let me tell you; these tournaments have been a major snorefest since you and your friends stopped coming to tournaments. I missed you too Piccol-...wait...you're Bansuri right? Piccolo not attending?"

Bansuri: "My father no longer walks among us. Only I remain but I carry on with him in my memory. I've also taken the moniker 'Majunior' too"

Announcer: "Ah, to dodge the Starfall crowd huh? Hate to break it to you but during the Kids Division they're gonna show a trailer for Starfall 3: Simian Strife. They're revealing Wukong's origins and expanding on them."

Bansuri: "(sigh) of course they are..."

Announcer: "Well I recommend getting to the waiting area so we can get on with the show, the people are going to love it!"

The Z-fighters chuckled and made their way to the waiting area and saw that it was reinforced and allowed for competitors of the tournament to safely watch the fights. The group stood and waited as the announcer hyped up the crowd and showed off the brackets for the tournament (which made Bulma and Chi-chi wince at their husbands facing each other right off the bat), Bansuri took this time to quietly inform the group of the two groups to be mindful of.

Bansuri: "Everyone needs to keep an eye out on the two men with M's on their foreheads and the two men with pointed ears that are red and purple"

Goku: "Huh? Why's that?"

Bansuri: "The men with the M's are filled with dark magic and have amplified energies to the point their bodies are only just able to contain it. If worse comes to worse they could act like human bombs with enough power to cause death and destruction to the audience"

This earned some concerned looks and an understanding nod from Vegeta.

Vegeta: "And the other group?"

Bansuri: "They are Kais, a core race that are the Creators of the Universe. The shorter one is definitely the Supreme Kai in charge of Creation itself and tied to the Destroyer. They are also strong enough to fight Frieza and win but to be fair that's a solid chunk of our group anyway but be aware of them"

Announcer: "And now we begin the 25th World Tournament with a match up of Turtle School vs Crane School, Krillin vs Tien!"

The crowd cheered and the Z-fighters gave understanding nods before Krillin and Tien walked out to the arena to start their match, the two tournament veterans already taking their places and waiting for the announcer to start the match.

Announcer: "With our contestants in place, the only thing left to do is start the show! AAAAAAAND BEGIN!"

Krillin and Tien launched forward and exchanged punches, kicks, elbow strikes, knee strikes, blocks, parries and dodges. While Tien had the advantage of being taller with more range to his physical attacks, Krillin was more agile and was able to get inside Tien's guard and deal devastating attacks to the triclopes.

Bansuri: "Krillin is winning this fight"

Lazuli nodded while the other fighters looked at Bansuri with mild confusion.

Videl: "Isn't it a bit early to make a call like that?"

Bansuri: "I've trained with Krillin enough to confidently say that Krillin is the strongest Human in the world"

Lazuli: "I've done my own type of 'training' with Krillin and his stamina is through the roof"

There was a pause before Bansuri rolled his eyes and Videl blushed bright red, the other fighters being various levels of amused as Lazuli smirked and turned her attention to Krillin who was in fact fighting harder than Tien and not even looking winded while Tien seemed to be struggling. Tien's attempt to kick Krillin in the head was ducked under then countered with a jumping uppercut that hits Tien under the chin that leaves the three-eyed fighter stunned for a moment before Tien falls backward and hits the ground.

Announcer: Oh! With an incredible jumping uppercut, Tien looks to be down for the count! One! Two! Three! Four! Five!"

Bansuri and Lazuli gave their fellow fighters looks that say 'Told you so' as the announcer continued to count down, Tien not moving from their place on the ground until finally...

Announcer: "TEN! Ladies and gentlemen, with a punch beautiful enough to be a work of art, Krillin wins the match and advances to the next round!"

The crowd cheered as the medical team picked up Tien and carried him out of the arena while Krillin walked alongside them, Krillin gave a quick pat on Tien's shoulder which was a quick use of the Yardrat Healing technique in disguise before joining the other fighters in the waiting area.

Bansuri: "Nicely done. Both the fight and the healing"

Krillin: (Chuckles) "Thanks!"

Lazuli: "Guess all that 'stamina training' we did helped you out after all"

Lazuli smirked at Krillin and left him flustered as Videl quietly blushed among the amused fellow fighters. Videl blushed even deeper when Lazuli gave her a knowing look as the announcer spoke up.

Announcer: "Wow! What a fantastic match and this show has only just started! The next two contestants are Majunior and Shin! Will those two fighters please enter the ring!"

Shin moved from his corner of the room and simply walked past the Z-fighters and out of the waiting room, Bansuri giving his friends a nod before walking out after. Shin walked on to the arena and to his right to take his place while Bansuri went to the left.

Shin: "Please fight me seriously" (Smug looking smile)

Bansuri: (Unamused look) '...I was going ot just push you out of the ring, but now I'm really gonna screw with you'

Announcer: "Are the contestants ready?"

Bansuri and Shin nodded.

Announcer: "Then BEGIN!"

There was a moment where neither Bansuri or Shin moved before Bansuri smirked.

Bansuri: "You know, I doubt you're worth my full strength, given how all you do with your time is sit on your ass and watch people like a creepy stalker"

Shin: "H-How dare you?! I am-"

Bansuri: "A glorified Peeping Tom, yes I know."

Shin rushed at Bansuri with a glare and a red face, reeling back a fist to punch Bansuri in the face only for Bansuri to lean slightly out of the way then headbutt the Kai, sending them flying back and rolling along the arena floor before stopping on all-fours and using a hand to hold his bleeding forehead.

Bansuri: "Say, you're a bit stronger than Frieza from what I can tell. Here's a question: Why didn't you stop Frieza's tyranical genocides? You had the power to help all those people and yet you sat and just watched it happen. Were you even weaker back then or do you get your jollies from watching innocent people suffer and die?"

Shin: "T-that's not it at all! If you know what I am, then you must know that I can't interfere in mortal affairs!"

Bansuri: "Then teach, guide or inform. King Kai does that and from what I can see, doing that doesn't count as interfering. Do you know the Kaoiken technique?"

Shin shook his head and got to his feet, still holding his head.

Bansuri: "It's a power multiplying technique that has proven useful against things that are harmful to the planet or even the universe in the case of Frieza. You should look into learning it, might make you able to deal with trouble beyond mortal ability...well, that and actually train instead of sitting around and watching people struggle."

Shin: "T-there are godly laws-"

Bansuri: "If a law allows or encourages the suffering of the people then either it should change or the people running things should"

Shin: "Y-you would oppose Gods?!"

Bansuri: "I'd take up the title of 'Demon King' while I did it too"

Bansuri gave Shin a wicked smile that made Roshi in the waiting area pale in fear, the phantom image of the Demon King Piccolo overlapped and somewhat matched Bansuri's appearance. Shin stepped back in fear before he fired an energy blast at Bansuri who vanished and reappeared just in front of Shin. Shin gasped and threw a at punch only hitting air as there was only an Afterimage in front of him. A shadow loomed tall over Shin as he turned to look behind him, terror filled the Kai as Bansuri stood with a fist pulled back and murder in his eyes. The punch launched at Shin's face which made the Kai wince and close his eyes.

There was a pause as Shin grit his teeth and braced to feel the coming punch only to feel nothing. Shin cracked open an eye to see a more playful smirk on Bansuri's face as Bansuri pointed two fingers at Shin and made a hand gesture with glowing fingertips that made Shin fall asleep, the Kai slumped to the ground and layed down snooring.

Announcer: "...uh, Shin is knocked out?"

The announcer began the knockout count in spite of his confusion as Bansuri quietly chuckled to himself.

Bansuri: 'I've heard of putting the fear of God into someone, but I don't think I've heard of putting the fear of me into God. Oh well, first time for everything I guess'

Announcer: "AND THAT'S TEN! With the scariest knockout I've ever had to witness, Majunior makes it to the next round!"

Shin snapped awake at the sound of the crowd cheering and sees Bansuri giving him a smug look.

Bansuri: "Just so you know, I was soundly screwing with you."

Shin gaped at Bansuri who simply shrugged and walked to the waiting room, making Shin scramble to his feet and follow after.

In a dark room with a crystal ball, a small wrinkly creature cackles hysterically.

Babidi: "That Kai just got treated like a complete fool!" (More maniacal laughter)

Dabura: (Chuckles) "I must commend that mortal for their demonic visage, they would be right at home in the Demon Realm"

Babidi: "Indeed! And there's no question that there's evil in their heart! Just look at the way he laughed at the Kai's terror!"

Dabura: "He could be a valuable asset should it be necessary"

What the two villains didn't account for was what they couldn't hear, the crystal ball had not allowed them to hear was the righteous anger that they mistook for malice. They also missed how the laughter Bansuri did was more cheeky in nature, more akin to getting someone with a prank than actual evil.

Announcer: "Videl and Spopovich! Please take to the stage!"

Videl and Spopovich walked down the path to the arena, Videl going over what she was told before the fight by Bansuri.

Bansuri: "Your fear of harming them is no longer a concern. They've been enhanced beyond what's natural by outside means. Knock them out of the ring quickly"

Videl could feel that something was off about Spopovich but she couldn't shake the concern of what would happen if she went all out against him. She did destroy the punch machine after all. Still, she didn't think that Bansuri was lying to her so she figured she would start at half measure and work her way up. Videl and Spopovich stood in the arena facing each other and nodded to the announcer when asked if they were ready.

Announcer: "Aaaaaaand BEGIN!"

Spopovich launched at Videl with a right hook which Videl dodged with ease then countered with a gut punch that sent Spopovich skidding back to where he started before he lept at her again.

Videl: 'Bansuri's right, he's way tougher than he should be! Guess I gotta go all out after all'

Videl steeled herself then dodged the coming grab and followed with a kick to the liver. The kick made Spopovich crumple to the ground in a perfect position for Videl to grab the back of Spopovich's pants and neck then spun the larger fighter before throwing them into the wall below the spectators with a thunderous CRASH! Shaking the people in the stands and shocking Mr Satan to see that his daughter had gotten so strong.

Mr Satan: "...know what? She can date whoever's brave enough to even offer after that. Yikes!"

Announcer: "That. Was. Incredible! Looks like the daughter of the current World Champion has world class strength! By a ring out victory, Videl advances to the next round!"

The crowd is silent for a moment before it erupted into cheers, Videl gave the audience a smile and wave as she started to walk out of the ring only for Spopovich to launch at her from the rubble he was buried in. Videl dodged all the punches, kicks and attempts to grab and flew around the arena as she did so.

Announcer: "What a show of poor sportsmanship! Spopovich is attacking Videl after the match has been called!"

The audience Boo'd at Spopovich only to start shouting in outrage as Yamu launched out of the waiting area to join Spopovich in attacking Videl.

Announcer: "What the?! Yamu has joined in on the attack against the winner!? That does it! Yamu is now disqualified from the tournament!"

Golden glowing chains suddenly appeared to bind Yamu and Spopovich and slammed them to the ground, the chains leading to Bansuri who was stood outside the waiting area.

Bansuri: "Just removing the malcontents, nothing to worry about"

Bansuri snapped his fingers and all the damage done by the match was fixed by a yellow glow which shocked the audience and the two Kais. Before anyone could comment, Bansuri took the two bound humans into the waiting area as Gohan flew out to meet Videl in midair.

Gohan: "Are you okay Videl?!"

Videl: (Smirk) "Yeah, I'm good. You didn't tell me Bansuri could do magic, think he could teach me that?"

Gohan: "Um, sorry but it can only be taught if you have the gift for it..."

Videl: "Damn, guess I'll stick to learning how to really kick ass"

Gohan chuckled nervously and absently wondered why he was so captivated by watching her fight.

Yamu and Spopovich sat beside each other tied in magic chains with Bansuri stood in front of them. Bansuri tried telepathically looking into their minds but got zapped by the magic of the M's on their foreheads so he backed off to look at the magic anchor. He abserved how the magic weaved through the bodies of the humans and how it magnified the energy that was already present to the absolute limit of the body all the while having more than enough magic to magnify it to the point that the two men could basically be human bombs.

Bansuri: "Hmm, an amplifying spell with an aspect of control rooted in the target's own malice. Well woven magic but a horrible fate for these two and anyone near them. Let's remove them and try reading their minds again"

Shin: "W-what?!"

Bansuri made a sequence of hand and finger movements that made patterns and symbols in the air before the M on Yamu and Spopovich's heads glowed and were enshrouded in purple energy, the purple orbs solidifying into physical crystal balls the size of softballs and floated into Bansuri's hand. Yamu and Spopovich were now unmarked and their bodies were back to their normal size and no longer looked a hair's breadth away from popping.

Kibito: "R-remarkable! You removed the Majin mark from them!"

Bansuri: "All it takes is some magic ability and the patience to unweave magic threads from a person's body"

Bansuri pocketed the purple orbs and tried looking into the minds of Yamu and Spopovich again, this time getting the location of the enemy's hideout and the information on what to expect when getting there.

Bansuri: "And now I know what's going on, where it's happening and what opposition to expect at the location. Honestly? Not impressed"

Vegeta: "Oh? And what's going on then?"

Bansuri: "Evil wizard seeks powerful being of chaos to get revenge on the powers that be for some perceived slight at their supposed greatness. Not even worth going Super Saiyan over but if left alone could be a nuisance later."

Vegeta: "Tsk, staying at the tournament seems more interesting"

Bansuri: "Honestly? Yeah, but since my match is already done and I imagine it'll take longer for my next match to happen then it would take to solve this, I'll just take out the trash and come back to continue the tournament."

Vegeta: "Really? I was hoping you would watch me crush Kakarot but I guess with Nico recording everything you can watch it later"

Bansuri and Vegeta shrugged as Shin and Kibito looked appauled at the lackadaisy attitude.

Shin: "How can you be so blasé?! This is a threat that can destroy worlds with ease!"

Bansuri: "You mean like Vegeta when he first came to Earth, Frieza on Namek or Dr Gero's Androids? This sort of thing isn't special it's just an annoyance at this point. So, Kibito, right? Try not to get immediately stomped by Gohan in your match. I do want to make it back in time for my match and a curbstomp is too quick to allow that so try not to be as disappointing as your boss here"

Bansuri strode to the back exit of the waiting area and passed by two security people.

Bansuri: "Hello, sorry to bother you both but I need to step out quickly and run an errand. I shouldn't take too long and I'll make sure to get back here before my match comes up. That won't be an issue right?"

Guard 1: "Uh, no sir. Shouldn't be a problem at all."

Guard 2: "Safe travels sir"

Bansuri: (Nods) "Thank you"

Bansuri lifted off the ground and flew in the direction of Babidi's ship, leaving two surprised guards in his wake only for Shin to follow after.

Shin: "Did you say what you did to goad me into a counter in the fight?"

Bansuri: "I said it the way I did to goad you, but you do need to better yourself and the way you manage things."

Shin: "Oh..."

Bansuri and Shin flew toward Babidi's ship in silence as Shin considered his choices and Bansuri simply enjoyed the fact he get a Godly being to consider changing their ways.

Gohan and Kibito stood in the arena, the latter looked nervous which eared a perplexed look from the former.

Gohan: "Uh, you okay?"

Kibito: "That 'Majunior...He wields power beyond what should be possible for mortal"

Gohan: "...If his level of power is too much, then the fact that Vegeta, Goku and myself are close to his level will probably freak you out"

Kibito: "I-Impssible!"

Announcer: "Our contestants are in place and ready to go! Saiyaman vs Kibito BEGIN!"

Kibito hesititated to attack the fighter infront of him who claimed to be on a similar level of strength as the one that beat the Supreme Kai earlier while said warrior started doing poses.

Kibito: 'Even if this warrior is strong, those poses they're performing are full of openings. I just need to exploit them!'

Kibito waited for a pose that looked especially vulnerable before he charged in while Saiyaman was doing a jog in place before, the hero dodging the punch by dropping to the ground on to their back and countering with a kick with both legs. Saiyaman flowed with the kick to flip back onto his feet for another pose, the performance earned a frown from Vegeta and a confused look from Krillin before the realization hit.

Krillin: "...wait...Those poses are kind of like the ones the Ginyu Force did!"

Vegeta: (Eye roll) "Why would Gohan want to be anything like those posing pricks?"

Roshi: "I thought he was taking from those vintage comic book heroes, the ones with the capes and the symbols on their chests"

Videl: "The outfit is definitely comic book hero style but the poses are totally newer hero group poses, like Power Force or the Sailor Girls"

Roshi: "Oh yeah, I remember seeing an episode of Sailor Girls after the Morning Fitness show. Very nicely done poses there..." (Perverted giggle)

Videl and Lazuli leveled unimpressed glares at the pervert as they could easily guess the reason why he liked the show and why he was watching the fitness show at all. Krillin kept tactfully quiet as he also appreciated both the fitness show and Sailor Girls as he kept his eyes on Gohan's fight, the Half-saiyan dominating the fight while putting on a flashy show for the audience that came to an end with a praying mantis-like pose that transitioned into a kick that sent Kibito into the wall and then onto the ground.

Announcer: "Kibito has been knocked out of the ring! With style and grace, Saiyaman advances to the next round!"

Gohan did a few more poses in the arena before he hopped out of the ring and returned to the waiting area.

Gohan: "I wonder how Bansuri is doing..."

Out in the wasteland, Bansuri and Shin were overlooking a ship that was apparently ingrained into the ground with a small wrinkly bug-eyed creature and a large devil-looking man standing in front of it. Bansuri gave Shin a questioning look.

Bansuri: "So what are we looking at?"

Shin: "The smaller one is the wizard Babidi, son of Bibidi and the one that seeks to release Majin Buu from it's seal and cause chaos across the universe. The man at his side is a bigger concern as that's the Demon King Dabura, he rules the Demon Realm and even he can be controlled by Babidi's magic"

Bansuri looked back at the waiting malcontents and noted that Babidi did seem to have a decent grasp of magic and that Dabura was about Cell's level of power. Overall, Bansuri felt that they weren't even worth using Kaioken against and that none of his Saiyan-blooded friends would need to transform to deal with this issue, the only exceptions being Goten, Trunks and Bulla and that was mostly due to their youth and inexperience. Bansuri gave Shin a disappointed look but before he could voice his disappointment, Dabura was in front of Shin with an energy blast in his hand ready to blast the Kai into oblivion, only for Bansuri to swat the outstretched hand away and redirect the blast into another plateau, the rocky landscape turned to rubble from the power. Dabura stepped back and tried using his Petrifying Spit to turn Bansuri to stone but Bansuri recognised the posture Dabura took as a coming mouth attack and made a portal behind the Demon King and made a portal in front of the coming attack to redirect it.

Bansuri: "Really? Spitting? Some 'Demon King'..."

Dabura looked panicked as he realized what happened and made to attack Shin again, turning to stone with a hand reaching toward the Kai. Bansuri raised an eyebrow at this development and inspected the now stone Dabura.

Bansuri: "...huh, that's a rather interesting technique. I can see why someone could be afraid of him...makes for an impressive looking statue too."

Bansuri nudged the demon statue on the chest and caused the former Demon King to wobble in place for a moment before it fell backward. The backward fall was more impactful due to the fact Dabura stood was near the edge of the rocky platform when it happened and caused Dabura to plummet to plummet from the top of the rockface to shatter on the ground, both Bansuri and Shin looked over the edge to watch the fall as Babidi watched from ground level.

Bansuri: "...Made for an impressive statue...Made...whoops"

Shin stared in disbelief at the apparent ease that Bansuri killed Dabura with and Babidi stared in horror at the remains of his strongest minion. There was a moment's pause as the death of Dabura sunk in.

Babidi: "...AAAAAAAAAGGGHHH! NOOOOOOOOO!"

Babidi turned and ran into the ship and disappeared in a flash, teleportation obviously being used to escape. Bansuri and Shin floated down from their vantage point and walked to the ship's entrance.

Shin: "You just took down the King of the Demon Realm! With ease!"

Bansuri: "Yeah, it's amazing what training and continuously improving yourself can do for your strength and skill."

Shin: "...that's a jab at me isn't it..."

Bansuri: "Yup"

Bansuri and Shin entered the ship and dropped down, Shin had a worried look as he decended while Bansuri calmly analysed the spellwork on the ship and tried to find weaknesses in the structure of the spells.

Shin: "We need to be careful with how much energy we exude as it could be used to free Majin Buu"

Bansuri: "A passive energy drain? That's simple enough to counter"

Bansuri double checked and confirmed he was still utilizing Spirit Control to hold back his energy, and pleased to find he was exuding only the smallest amount of energy from his body. Shin and Bansuri landed and looked around at the surroundings they were now in, the area appeared like a standard space ship until Bansuri noticed a spell being woven in the room, darkness fell over the Kai and Namekian.

Bansuri: "Interesting magic, converting ambient light into darkness. Now what's the purpose of it..."

Bansuri ducked under a claw strike from behind the jumped away from a bite that followed after, this made Bansuri judge that whatever was attacking him was large and apparently carnivorous. Bansuri closed his eyes and waited for another attack to step into the strike and deal a powerful punch to the stomach, getting a disgusing retching noise as Bansuri continued behind the creature to kick it in the back of the head, the face of the monster slammed into the ground. Light returned to reveal a large green creature with a toothy maw and a top heavy figure.

Shin: "T-that was the Light Eater Yakon, one of the most feared creatures in the universe!"

Bansuri: "Never heard of it"

Bansuri shrugged and inspected the room of the magic used to alter it and the way it moved to discern where the magic came from and possibly where Babidi was to end this engagement sooner.

In a hidden room in the ship, Babidi stomped his foot and shouted in outrage at the fact his toughest minions were getting wiped out with little (if any) effort. Babidi scowled and sent out an alien he picked up during his travels after his trip to Zoon was a bust thanks to the new "Emperor Cooler". Babidi needed a moment to try and control this green interloper.

Babidi: "If this worked on Dabura, it'll work on the Kai's big green friend!"

Babidi began to chant as the alien faced off against the intruders.

Bansuri narrowed his eyes in thought as the alien that appeared in front of him was wearing armor similar to the Frieza Force but with purple tights and light green armor. Bansuri raised an eyebrow when he spotted the alien holding their head in pain before rushing forward and attacking him. This clued Bansuri on the fact that this person wasn't acting of their own volition and needed help instead of destruction. Bansuri calmly weaved around the frantic and sloppy strikes as he focused on channeling magic and when he felt ready, Bansuri plucked the Majin Mark right off the alien's head. Bansuri focused the magic of the mark and turned it into a purple crystal ball like he did with the marks of Yamu and Spopovich and watched the alien slump to their knees in relief.

Alien: (Panting) "T-thank you... and um, sorry about the whole Namek thing..."

Bansuri: (Pocketing the crystal ball) "Considering that your only choices were obey or die, I won't blame you for wanting to survive. Given your armor, I assume you ditched the Frieza Force?"

Alien: "Oh yeah, I'm a part of the Cooler Force now! We teraform planets and provide housing and food for struggling worlds. I do coding and maintenance on the teraforming machines, both the local and planetary ones."

Bansuri: "Really? Sounds helpful (quick side-eye at Shin). I'm Bansuri, and you are?"

Alien: "Appule"

Bansuri helped Appule to their feet.

Bansuri: "Nice to meet you Appule, would you mind standing by Shin over there? (points at Shin), I just need to deal with the scumbag that spirited you away."

Appule: "Oh! Sure thing!"

Appule walked over to where Shin was and stood next to them with a quiet and respectful nod of acknowledgement to the Kai. Bansuri gave an approving nod before they took a few steps to the center of the room and started making hand gestures pointing downwared with glowing fingertips. An odd pressure formed in Bansuri's head but a flex of magic dispelled the magic trying to affect him.

Babidi: "What the hell?! He can remove the Majin Mark AND shrug off my control?! How?!"

Babidi rolled on the ground and kicked and punched the ground, a picture perfect tantrum performed in the wizards hidden room when a faint glow started to form on the wizard. The glow got brighter and brighter until Babidi noticed but at that point it was too late, the short wizard teleported off the floor and was caught in midair by the back of the neck, green fingers wrapped around to the front of the neck.

Babidi: "Gack! What!?"

Babidi flailed in Bansuri's grasp, both Shin and Appule staring in amazement of the wizard appearing in the Namekian's hand. Babidi tried pointing a hand at Bansuri and tried saying his control spell when the grip around his neck tightened and turned the incantation into a garbled gasp. Bansuri conjured magical chains to bind the wizard and prevent him from casting magic, a gag was added after a moment's thought to prevent the wizard from enchanting someone.

Bansuri: "Threre, one evil wizard captured. You want him alive or dead?"

Shin: "Oh! Um, given his threat to the universe, it's likely that he'll be executed-"

Bansuri: "Dead. Got it"

Bansuri used the hand holding the wizard to snap the wizard's neck, Babidi's eyes rolling back and his body fallen limp. Bansuri carelessly chucked the wizard to Shin's feet and set about following where the exuded energy went, Appule's exuded energy flowed into the wall and acted as a guide to find the sealed Majin Buu, Bansuri used magic to open the ships doors and allow him to go where the energy flowed until Bansuri (followed by Shin and Appule) entered a room with a large pink ball with veins on it.

Shin: "T-that's it! Majin Buu's Egg!"

Bansuri raised an eyebrow at the gross-looking ball then Created a small jar with a cork as well as a very specific seal, Kami's memory of a specific technique came to mind and Bansuri decided to add an additional seal to this threat.

Bansuri: "Evil Containment Wave!"

The room was illuminated in green light as the egg floated into the air and spun around before it warped in shape and was sent into the small jar, a cork inserted into the jar to complete the seal.

Shin: "W-wow! With that additional seal, there's no way for the egg to get more energy. Please, hand the seal to me so I can make sure no evil can get their hands on it"

Bansuri put the jar into his magic pocket and walked past Shin to Appule, the two of them walking to the exit with Shin following after continuing to try and convince Bansuri to give him the Sealed Majin. The group exited the ship and Bansuri turned to address Appule.

Bansuri: "Do you remember the ship you were using when you were kidnapped?"

Appule: "Huh? Oh yeah! it was a standard scouting ship. Why do you ask?"

Bansuri: "If you can vividly imagine the ship, I can Create it so you have a means of getting home"

Appule: "For real?!"

Bansuri nodded, Appule closed his eyes and focused on the ship he was using before he got enslaved by Babidi. The controls, the handling and even the seating were imagined so clearly that Bansuri could easily Create the ship with the use of telepathy and the Essence of Creation. Shin looked shocked at the ship being created and Appule was both surprised and delighted to see a familiar vessel. Appule thanked Bansuri who simply smiled and gestured to the ship which made the purple alien give a thankful smile before they boarded the ship and waved as they launched the ship and flew away.

Shin: "...The Realm of the Kais would be an excellent place to put Buu's egg as only people in the know can access the realm"

Bansuri: "And I'm the only person that can access my magic pocket. It's safer with me...plus, you thought it was a good idea to risk the Earth by putting Majin Buu here so here's a thought: Get strong enough to beat me and you can have Majin Buu"

Shin frowned at the logic but couldn't fault it and simply gave a determined nod at Bansuri.

Bansuri: "Now that's done, I can get back to the tournament. If you wish to reward me you can wait until it's done. Until then, bye"

Bansuri put two fingers to his forehead and teleported away, leaving the Kai in a wasteland to figure out how to reward Bansuri for dealing with the threats.
