Chapter 11: Tournament's Conclusion

As the tournament was put on pause due to the departure of Goku's group, the rest of the gang's spectators decided to change to the top row for a better view and more privacy to talk. The old turtle hermit could feel the air around the planet shift slightly. "Something's changed…"

"What do you mean, Master Roshi?" Yamcha asked.

"There's a huge cluster of KI far away…and it feels dark." Roshi muttered.

"I'm guessing that's in the direction where Goku and the others all went." The ex-bandit stretched out his senses to feel the evil KI as well. "Man…I really don't like how that feels."

"Do you think they can handle it?" Aki asked. As much as he felt like he should help there was a part of him that knew he would get in the way. Facing down Devils? Sure, he signed up for that with confidence but whatever was going on felt different. There was also the fact that Makima hadn't given them the sign to do anything, even when he wasn't on the clock, she still had a 'leash' around their necks.

"I wouldn't worry too much." Bulma reassures them. "Goku is there, and with him around things always manage to work out. There's also Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, and Krillin too!" The richest woman on the planet held a sleeping Marron in her arms, and held the young girl close to her chest. As if it was a way for her to reassure herself that things would be okay. If only she knew where Trunks had run off to, so she could keep a close eye on him just in case. "I'll just have to ask Makima when she gets back."

Denji continued to pout, feeling utterly useless at the moment. However, he wasn't allowed to sulk for long as Power grabbed him by the face to force him to look at her. "What's with that pathetic look, Denji?! Didn't I raise you better?!"

"Who the hell did you raise?!" Denji tore himself out of her grasp. "And it's not pathetic! I'm just thinking!"

"Hah! You? Thinking? Stupid human!"

"You're to talk, idiot!"

"Take that back!"

"Nuh uh!"

"What do you mean 'Nuh uh'?!"

"Shut it! Do you two need to keep arguing?!" Aki interrupted them. "We're trying to focus here and you two aren't helping!"

"That's the problem! I can't help!" Denji yelled. His friends all just flew off to deal with some serious shit and he wasn't even allowed to help them. Usually, he and Gohan would be rushing off to deal with whatever bullshit, like the Devil Extermination shit that happened last year. But now he's confined to this stupid tournament thing because Mrs. Makima ordered him not to. And the worst part of it all is that he doesn't even know if he should be there or not. Like, there's something inside his head screaming that something terrible is gonna happen. "I can't help, and I feel useless when my friends are out there risking their lives!"

Aki was surprised by the declaration made, clearly not used to seeing this side of the usual slow hybrid. "Denji…"

"I get it." Yamcha's voice caught their attention. "Honestly, I feel the same as you do, kid."

"Really?" Denji asked.

"Yup!" Yamcha laughed. "I used to take part in these tournaments with Goku and Krillin when we were younger. All of the adventures we went on, the dangers we encountered, and the miracles that happened were a sight to behold."

"But what changed?" Denji and the others could feel the shift in the ex-bandit's tone as he continued.

"I died." Yamcha gave a humorless chuckle. "Vegeta and his Saiyan pal came to Earth and their little Saibamen killed me. Honestly, at the time I hadn't thought too much about it. The others were gonna travel to Namek to use their Dragon Balls to bring us back, so everything felt like it was fine. But then Freeza happened, then the cyborgs, and then Cell at the tail end." Yamcha could imagine the very bits of fear that coursed through him during those moments. Freeza and his father's KI was suffocating, it felt like a black hole waiting to erase you from existence. The cyborgs they first encountered, #19 and #20, had almost killed him if the others didn't appear. And Cell was just a completely different ballpark altogether, he had never before felt so out of his depth than at the Cell Games. "Catching up with Goku used to feel like a challenge, something to look forward to…but now…he's so far ahead that the battles just aren't the same. It isn't for me."

"Lots of things have changed since those days." Roshi added. "This old body of mine still knows a thing or two, but for the challenges that Goku and the others face now? I'd only be in their way, but that doesn't mean that we still can't support them. Right now just isn't one of those times, young man."

Denji looked down to his chest, placing a hand to his heart. "Give them support? Is it the same way for you, Pochita? Are you supporting me in the same way…? Am I honoring that promise by standing here on the sidelines?" He could feel his heart beating steadily, wishing that he could hear a response from his long-time best friend. Denji looked back at the others. "Then what do we do now?"

"Right now?" Bulma smiled as she pointed down at the ring. "We can watch the rest of the tournament. Seems like they've finally settled on how to proceed."

Makima rested her head on Fami's lap, closing her eyes to rest her energy. However, the continuous crunch of chips was slowly edging away at her patience. The Control Devil snatched the bag away from her sister and burned it to ash with her KI. "Enough eating, you've done enough for an hour, at least."

"You don't get to decide that." Fami argued as she pulled out another bag of chips from seemingly nowhere. "If you're so worried about Goku and Gohan, then hurry up after them."

"I must trust my darling can handle the situation on his own. Certainly, his power has grown significantly during these last seven years."

"You could tell?"

"If I couldn't tell that, then I don't deserve my darling." Makima responded. She sat up on the bench to avoid crumbs falling on her face. "Besides, I need to keep my eyes on the twins. They snuck into the Adult Division with Trunks and think they're being sneaky with it. I'll punish them later for disobeying me."

Fami shrugged. "Think of it as redemption for losing in the Youth Division. If they win then you still get the prize money, and they'll be champions. Think about all the food I could get."

"Why would I let you have the money?"

"We're sisters."

"As I said before, why would I let you have the money?"

"I'm hungry."

"Do you have three bottomless pits that need to be fed on a daily basis? Four if I have to count you. Then five if I have to feed my darling before the day ends."

"I am a bottomless pit."

"Unfortunately."

Fami pushed a chip into Makima's face, earning a glare from the older sister. "Do not."

"Try smiling more. It might make people like you."

"Why should I care what others think? As long as they fear me, then all that matters." Makima said.

"Hmmm…you're right." Fami shrugged, then continued eating her chips. Until Makima tore the bag away again to burn it.

…

…

…

Fami took out another bag of chips much to her sister's growing irritation. Makima decided to just let the Famine Devil eat the noisy food, but not before saying something. "I'm putting you on a diet."

"Nooooooo!"

Thanks to Hercule's suggestion on a royal rumble to decide the winner between the last five competitors, the stadium was back to its full energy once again. The remaining fighters stepped out onto the ring, with the champion being the only nervous one of the bunch. It had just occurred to him that everyone would be gunning for him first for the champion belt, which made him curse himself for the idiotic decision.

Mighty Mask and Jewel, aka the twins and Trunks, stood apart from each other. The three understood that the biggest threat to them was Lazuli, who looked the most bored at the moment, especially after the rest of the adults left. The three didn't know why they ditched the tournament since that basically ruined most of their reason for sneaking in, but they decided getting the prize will be worth it in the end.

"Hey!" Killa leaned down to whisper to Jewel and Mighty Mask. "Let's team up on Hercule. It would be best to get him out first, right?"

"Who cares about that buffoon?" Jewel scoffed.

"We only care about Lazuli." Mighty Mask added.

"Yeah!" Mighty Mask's stomach added. Jewel sent the stomach a nasty glare to get her twin to shut his mouth.

"THIS IS A NO-TIME LIMIT MATCH! LAST ONE STANDING WINS! LET'S GET STARTED! BEGIN!"

Mighty Mask lightly punched Killa out of the ring as Jewel dashed towards Lazuli. The cyborg hadn't been concerned about the blonde at first, but the speed at which the blonde moved unnerved her. She was forced to block the attack, noticing the abnormal strength that a normal human shouldn't possess. Jewel threw a torrent of jabs that would make a pro boxer jealous at the cyborg, who blocked or evaded each one.

"Tch…!" Lazuli clicked her tongue. She jumped into the air and was once again surprised to see that blonde follow her to the skies. "There's something off about this guy." Her eyes then trailed to Mighty Mask. "And that one's even stranger." Lazuli avoided the bullet-like kicks, and countered with a backhand to Jewel's face. However, the blonde recovered easily to engage the cybernetic woman in a melee clash.

"Are we not gonna help her, Trunks?" Goten asked.

"Nah, let her get some steam off first."

"HEY!"

Mighty Mask lazily looked back at Hercule, who had apparently gotten sick of being ignored. "I don't know who you think you are, Mighty Mask! But I'll be taking you out first, then those other two as well!"

"Ugh…" Mighty Mask rolled his eyes. "You're not even worth the effort." He muttered under his breath.

CRASH!

The boys looked down to see that Jewel had crashed down next to them in a small crater. She slowly rose out of the ground with a very pissed look at the put the boys on edge. "If you tweedle-dumbs are done standing around, then help me!"

"I figured someone of your strength could handle it." Mighty Mask teases.

"I'm going to kill you!"

"G-guys!" Goten's warning came a little too late. The three of them looked up to see a KI blast coming down on top of them, blowing a larger hole into the ring. Hercule was almost knocked off by the wind pressure alone, but the champion managed to barely hang on. He stuttered in fear at the power displayed in front of him, clearly aware of how doomed he was.

Lazuli waited in the air until two blurs came at her from both directions. She raised her arms to protect herself from the onslaught of punches and kicks that Mighty Mask and Jewel were throwing her way. She leaned back, causing their fists to connect, then leaned back in to backhand them both in the face. Lazuli whipped around a roundhouse kick into Might Mask's stomach, then moved her head out of the way of Jewel's punch. Grabbing the blonde's arm, Lazuli judo flipped the fighter into the approaching Mighty Mask.

"Grr…! She's making a fool of us!" Jewel growled with shame.

"You could bother to throw some kicks in, Goten!" Trunks hissed.

"I can barely see!" Goten defended himself.

Jewel knew there was a way out of this that could give them the win. However, the cons outweigh the pros. "Eh, whatever. Boys, let's go Super Saiyan!"

"Yeah! We should do that, Trunks!" Goten agreed with his sister.

"Well, we're disguised, so it shouldn't hurt. Can you do it while disguised?" Trunks turned to the transformed Nayuta.

"Yeah, but it'll burn through the time limit on this ability. Let's finish this quickly." Jewel said.

"Right!"

"These three are good. Too good for people of their appearances. It's as if-" Lazuli's eyes went wide when her opponents transformed into Super Saiyans. This move gave away their identities immediately. "I see, Super Saiyan. I know who you are now, brats...!"

"Don't use full power, guys!" Goten reminded them.

"We know!" Trunks and Nayuta yelled as they charged up their KI attacks.

"BIG TREE…!"

"KA! ME! HA! ME…!"

"CANNON!"

"HAAAAA!"

Lazuli's smirk faded as the weight of those attacks became apparent quickly. She dodged out of the way in time and watched in baffled gasps at the damage the kids caused to the ocean behind her. She turned back to them with a new plan in mind. "These kids have that much power…?! I have to end this quickly before they do something even more stupid!" Lazuli loudly addressed the brats. "GOTEN! TRUNKS! NAYUTA! I'M ENDING THIS NOW!"

"EH?!" The kids cried. "How does she know?!"

Lazuli raised her hand and created her husband's signature technique. The destructo disk flew right at Mighty Mask, splitting him in half to reveal the truth. Goten and Trunks scrambled like frightened chickens as their disguise was completely ruined.

"You idiots! Why didn't you dodge-"

POOF!

Nayuta stopped as her transformation gave way, back in her true form in Jewel's baggy clothing. The female hybrid blanched at how quickly her transformation fell apart. "You have got to be kidding me…"

"M-MIGHTY MASK AND JEWEL A-ARE JUST A COUPLE OF KIDS?!" The announcer voiced the surprise that everyone in the stadium was feeling.

"Argh! Screw it! Let's just kick her ass, boys!" Nayuta ordered as she tore off Jewel's clothes to reveal her GI underneath.

"Right! She can't take us on like this!" Trunks exclaimed.

"Here we go!" The Super Saiyan trio rushed the female cyborg, who was all too ready to take them on. However, that chance would never come as a very loud voice interrupted them.

"TRUUUUNKS! YOU ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!" Bulma's shout was heard, even with all the screaming in the stadium. Trunks gulped in fear at his mother's declaration. Goten and Nayuta were in a similar boat as they felt their mother's presence wash over them, promising a rough punishment for even daring to go behind her back.

"Uh oh…" Goten mumbled.

"GOTTA GO!" Trunks and Nayuta grabbed the trembling Goten and took off from the stadium to escape the wrath of their mothers, even though they knew it was a futile effort in the end.

Lazuli allowed herself to relax, now completely certain of her victory. She lowered herself back down to the ring, in front of the trembling Hercule Satan.

"WITH THE DISQUALIFICATION OF MIGHTY MASK AND JEWEL! THE TOURNAMENT NOW COMES DOWN TO ITS FINAL COMPETITORS: MR. SATAN VS LAZULI!"

Hercule gulped. "I-I'm so dead…"

"Stupid tournament…! I feel so humiliated!" Nayuta complained as she and the boys flew far enough away from the island. "We didn't get to fight Gohan or the others, then Lazuli embarrassed us, and now we're totally grounded when this is all over!"

"Quit complaining! It isn't all that bad!"

"Says the moron who got us into this mess!" Nayuta hissed at Trunks.

"You didn't have to go along with it!" Trunks yelled in her face. As the two continued their shouting match, Goten just sucked on his thumb. He wondered if getting his mom some flowers would quell her enough to not punish them harshly. Their mom's punishments weren't fun to experience.

"Goten! Nayuta! Trunks!"

"Hm?" The three looked over to see Videl flying over to them. "Videl!" Goten waved at his brother's girlfriend. Nayuta just snorted with disinterest, while Trunks crossed his arms. He didn't have much of an opinion since he didn't know her.

"What are you three doing out here?" Videl asked.

"We got disqualified!" Goten answered.

"We snuck into the Adult Division. Didn't really work out well." Trunks clarified. Videl wanted to think back to how she didn't recognize they were there but decided to shelve that for later. There were more important things they needed to talk about. So, she started explaining everything regarding Majin Buu to the hybrid brats. Videl was expecting to see looks of worry or even fear, feelings that she had upon learning all of this, but instead the kids looked…excited?!

"Wizards…?"

"Magic monsters…?"

"Fate of the world…?"

Trunks turned to the twins. "H-hey, guys? You understood that, right?"

"Yeah!"

"No duh!"

The three were now bouncing up and down in the air, screaming loudly. "THIS IS SO COOL! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!"

"W-what?!" Videl flinched back.

"It's that way, right?!" Trunks pointed at the far distance.

"Yeah, I can feel a whole bunch of energy that way!" Nayuta answered.

"C'MON! LET'S GO! LET'S GO! LET'S GO!" Goten jumped onto his sister and best friend.

"Alright, boys! It's a race against the clock to get there before those lame grown-ups beat up this Majin Buu!" Nayuta declared. "ON YOUR MARK!" She, Goten, and Trunks got into position. "GET SET!" All three transformed into Super Saiyans. "GOOOOO!"

Videl was blown back by the pure force of their launch, almost losing grip on her own flight. She managed to stabilize herself to avoid falling into the sea below. All the champion's daughter could do was stare at the three lights as they vanished into the distance. "N-no way…"

Fami turned towards the loud cheering as the winner of the tournament was finally decided. "Well, it seems like Hercule is the champion again." Though her face showed no emotion, the Famine Devil seemed heartbroken. "All of the food that could've been bought…"

"Honestly, this entire thing was a waste of time." Makima sighed. Regardless of the things happening in the background, they could've spent most of the time lost doing things as a family instead of being at this tournament. "Perhaps I should just-"

PA PARA PA PA!

Makima and Fami flinched as a torrent of dark energy flooded the island like a tsunami. Magic and KI infused together in a condensed force that threatened to eradicate everything around it. But the worst part was the familiarity of the KI.

"Vegeta…" Fami realized.

"Let's move." Makima could sense her husband, son, and sister were standing right in the middle of Vegeta's dark center. A massive explosion followed right after, screams of panic filling the air within seconds. The sisters took off towards the stage to see what was going on and what had gone wrong.

"V-Vegeta…?" Bulma muttered, devastated by the destruction her husband had just caused to the stadium. She didn't know what to think as the stands transformed into utter panic at the sudden attack that killed a good portion of people.

"What the hell is he doing?! Why aren't Goku or Gohan stopping him?!" Yamcha yelled. "Just what the hell is going on?!"

Power trembled in fear, her senses going haywire just from the dark impulses radiating off of Vegeta. She fell to her rear, sweat pouring down her body like a waterfall. "T-t-that guy…! I-I-I-"

"Power?!" Denji and Aki were by her side within a moment. The hunter tried to figure out what was bothering her. "Her senses must be going haywire, because of Vegeta!" Aki realized.

"Then, why the hell am I fine?!" Denji asked.

"Because you're not fully a Devil." The group turned to see that Makima and Fami had returned. "Power's instincts are reacting to the presence of the strongest malicious force in the area, like a scared animal about to be feasted on by a predator." The Control Devil explained.

"Makima!" Yamcha explained.

"I'm here too." Fami raised her hand.

Bulma rushed over to her fellow mother and grasped her arms. "You have to stop Vegeta! I don't know what's come over him, but he's not like this anymore! I know he isn't! Something must've happened!" The CEO practically begged with tears brimming.

Makima's eyes shifted down towards the source of the commotion. She doesn't have full knowledge of what's going on, but she can feel the dark magic that's infected the prince's body. The nagging feeling that she had been feeling the entire day returned, and that pretty much solidified her decision. "Fami, keep watch over them."

"I'll try."

Makima took off towards the stage and pointed her finger down at Vegeta. She hadn't gone unnoticed as her family members caught her approaching. "Makima?!" Goku cried.

"Mom!" Gohan shouted.

"Control…" Yoru muttered.

The prince felt the woman's intrusion on his mind and snarled nastily. He already had one annoying voice trying to influence him and he didn't need another one attempting it. Especially not Kakarot's freak of a wife. His eyes shifted towards her with malicious fury, a single arm raised in her direction. "Stay out of my head! BEGONE!"

Makima's eyes widened at the massive wave of KI that filled her vision. The Control Devil would have dodged it but remembered the certain people behind her. With a wave of her hand, she used her abilities to force the people in the stands and her group of companions out of the way of the attack. Which unfortunately left her open to take the full force of Vegeta's attack. Her body exploded with pain as she was blown through the island, everything in the blast's path was utterly obliterated. Buildings, cars, and people alike were erased before realization could've been realized. Whatever was left of Makima's body was left to sink into the ocean's depths.

"MAKIMA!" Bulma cried, speechless by the destruction caused.

"MOM!" Gohan yelled. His own anger rose as he tried to locate his mother's energy. He knew she couldn't be killed that easy, but he had no idea just how far her regeneration could go.

Asa covered her mouth, disgusted by such acts of cruelty. She had no issue with punishing the evils of the world, but to kill innocent people so easily, to hurt someone you knew was going too far. "Gohan's mom…she-"

"She isn't dead, but that attack definitely left her worse for wear. Don't focus on Control, because she isn't important at the moment." Yoru reminded her partner.

Vegeta slowly turned back to Goku with a satisfied look in his eyes. "So, Kakarot, are you finally ready to begin?"

Goku's eyes were closed, the pure-hearted Saiyan took deep breaths to get his emotions under control. Right now, he couldn't allow himself to be lost in anger. Makima would be okay, he knows that, but feeling her KI drop so drastically fast pushed his buttons in the wrong way. His Super Saiyan form came to life, and he kept his eyes completely on Vegeta. "Fine, then."

"No, stop!" Shin got in the way. "This is just what Babadi wants!"

Goku ignored him. "Vegeta, you surrendered yourself to Babadi just to make me fight, right?"

"Huh?" Gohan gasped.

"If I hadn't then I never would've gotten to fight you. After today you'll be gone from this world forever." Vegeta admitted.

Shin couldn't believe his ears. Were these people truly willing to risk the entire fate of the universe just for a simple fight?! "A fight?! You'll risk everything for something so meaningless?!"

THAT struck a chord in the prince's heart. "Meaningless?! What do you know of meaning?!" His KI exploded, kicking up wind around them. "I don't give a damn about Majin Buu! I am Vegeta, Prince of all Saiyans, yet I had to watch as this low-born fool surpassed me in strength! As he humiliated me time and time again! He's even saved my life as if I were a helpless child! He has stolen my honor and his debts must be paid!"

Yoru lowered her head as the prince's speech echoed in her mind. She hated the way she could relate to his words. That feeling of inferiority when you should be at the pinnacle of everything, yet you end up coming up short every time to others around you. Images of Makima and Goku surfaced through her head, pissing her off even more.

Goku felt like he understood Vegeta a little better than he had before. He knew what needed to be done if he wanted this to end. "BABADI! TAKE US SOMEWHERE THERE'S NO PEOPLE! AND THEN I'LL FIGHT HIM!"

"Wait!" Shin jumped in the way again. "Fight me first if you wish to do this!" Shin hoped that his status as the Supreme Kai would be enough, but Goku wasn't changing on his stance. He raised a hand towards the Kai with a KI blast at the ready. Gohan, Asa, and even Vegeta were surprised by Goku's actions. Yoru, for once, was impressed by her brother-in-law's willingness to go the mile.

"D-Dad…" Gohan mumbled. "You can't…"

"Fine." Shin relented.

"Sorry, Supreme Kai." Goku apologized.

PA PARA PA PA

The six of them were gone, teleported to a different location, much to the confusion of everyone else in the arena.

Now standing in an empty rocky wasteland, Shin stood over the hole that leads to Babadi's ship. "Goku, you and Vegeta can fight it out to your heart's content. Gohan, War, and I shall make our way towards Babadi and Dabura. Buu may have awoken from this shock, but it'll be better than having him brought back to his full strength."

"Oh no, you don't!"

"Guh…!" Vegeta grunted, gripping his skull as Babadi tried to force his control over the prince.

"Stop them, Vegeta! Kill the Supreme Kai!"

"N-no…! They have nothing to do with this! My only focus is Kakarot!" Vegeta declared. His ability to fight back against Babadi was shocking to the warlock and Kai.

"I'll only say this one more time, Vegeta! As your master I command you to kill the Supreme Kai!"

"G-guh..! Grr…! A-and I'll only say this once! I only want to fight Kakarot!" Vegeta declared. "I-I am the proud prince of the Saiyans! You may have invaded my mind and my body but there's something a Saiyan always keeps…HIS PRIDE!" Whatever hold Babadi may have had over him was completely severed.

"To think there was a mortal capable of resisting Babadi's magic…" Shin was stunned.

"That's just like you, Vegeta." Goku huffed. "Even Makima's abilities couldn't keep you under control for long."

"This Vegeta is something else. I don't think we can take him if it comes down to it." Asa gulped.

Yoru crossed her arms and walked towards the hole. "Then feel glad we're not the ones he wants to fight. We have more important matters." As she said that, the entrance to the ship opened up to allow them passage. "Seems Babadi doesn't want his precious Buu waking up so soon." She looked back at her nephew. "C'mon, Gohan! You're wasting time!"

"R-right!" Gohan hurried over, but his father stopped him.

"Gohan! Catch!" The hybrid caught the green bean. "Eat that Senzu Bean, Gohan. You've used up a lot of energy."

"Thanks, Dad." Gohan said as he ate the bean.

"Gohan." Goku stared his oldest son in the eyes. "Get angry, just like you did with Cell. I know it scares you son, but that power is what we need the most right now. The half of you that you've kept locked away will save this world. When you're at full power, nobody can beat you."

Gohan understood what his dad was saying, it was similar to what his mom and Piccolo have been telling him for years. But he didn't want to rely on that power if it meant losing himself again. "I'm sorry, Dad. This was our last day together and everything."

"Don't worry, we'll still have plenty of time left." Goku reassured him. He turned back to Vegeta as the three disappeared into the ship. The hole closed, meaning that the two-remaining full-breed Saiyans would have their privacy.

"I need to end this quickly. But should I use that power now? No, I can't risk losing my time on Earth. Gohan and the others should be able to stop Buu in time." Goku made his decision and gave his full attention to Vegeta. "I can't let any energy get sent to Majin Buu. I'll be ending this quickly."

"Heh! I look forward to seeing the fruits of your training in the afterlife." Vegeta said.

"HAH!" Goku powered up to the ascended level of a Super Saiyan.

Vegeta salivated at the pressure of Goku's KI against his own. "Impressive! You're stronger than Gohan was during the Cell Games." The prince's own KI rose to match Goku's. "HAH!" Lightning surrounded him, his hair also grew even more spikey, to signify his ascension.

Surprise showed on Goku's face, meaning that he had underestimated Vegeta's growth a bit. "Seems this won't be so quick, after all."

"COME, KAKAROT! I'LL FINALLY KILL YOU!" Vegeta rushed his rival with a kick aimed at his head. Goku blocked the strike, then grabbed Vegeta's oncoming punch. The two traded blows that shook the wasteland, which was ended by Goku roundhouse kicking the prince away.

Vegeta emerged from the ground to stand against his lifelong opponent. The two smirked at each other, clearly enjoying their long-awaited battle.

"Welcome, Supreme Kai, the one who killed my father." Babadi and Dabura stood in front of Buu's egg, facing off against their enemies.

"I've come to defeat you, Babadi, and stop Buu's revival." Shin promised.

"Heh! With Dabura on my side this will be a cinch!" Babadi promised.

Yoru strolled forward, brandishing her bone weapons. "I wonder, King of Demons, have you heard of the Death Devil?"

Dabura raised a brow. "I've heard rumors of such a creature, yes."

"Good, then you can tell her I said 'Fuck off' when you see her." Yoru threatened. Gohan stepped next to his aunt, ready to assist her in the fight.

Babadi shook his head. "Buu shall awaken soon, so let's not destroy the ship. I'll be changing locations."

"Fine, but I'll still kill you!" Shin hissed.

PA PARA PA PA

They now stood in a similar wasteland as the one the Saiyans were battling in. Babadi turned to his loyal henchman. "Just to be sure, you can defeat them, Dabura?"

"Of course, Master. I was handling the boy just fine, and that Devil shall be no issue either." Dabura assured him.

"We can do this, right? It's like those climax scenes in movies where everything really matters!" Asa is slightly worried.

"Of course, we can. Stop worrying so much and focus on the battle at hand!" Yoru yelled.

Gohan clenched his fists and transformed into a Super Saiyan; his father's words echoed in his head. "I am angry, Dad. At what happened to Mom, what Vegeta did at the tournament, and at these guys trying to end the world. But I can't be like I was before…I just can't!"

"It's over for you, Supreme Kai! You can't kill me like you had my Father! I'm much stronger than he was-"

BIIP! BIIP!

"W-what?" Babadi turned to Buu's egg. Disbelief at the readings on the energy meter left the warlock in a sense of ecstasy. "A-already?"

"What?!/What?!"

"He…he…he…he's at full power!" Babadi declared, much to the horror of Shin. "MAJIN BUU IS AT FULL POWER! HE'S FINALLY GOING TO AWAKEN!"

"H-how is that possible?! Those two just started fighting!" Asa exclaimed.

Yoru almost shattered her swords from the anger threatening to erupt. "Of course…those damn morons! They're fighting at full strength, so of course Buu's meter would fill within seconds!"

Gohan tried to look on the positive. "Guys, don't worry! We can still do this, right Supreme Kai?!" His words were only met with despair as the Kai looked close to giving up.

"I-it's over…I can't believe I miscalculated to such an extent. You Saiyans have truly done it now…! This world-no this universe-is doomed and there's nothing we can do!"

Chapter End

NOTE: Welp, they're fucked. Next chapter Majin Buu finally makes his appearance and...uh...well. You'll see how that goes.

Makima got obliterated very quickly. She's clearly alive but recovering from that attack is gonna take some time. I won't be focusing on Goku and Vegeta's fight, since nothing about that really changes much. Vegeta's fight with Buu will be a bit different though, mostly due to how I'm gonna write Buu.

Again, Buu will not be super different from his canon counterpart personality wise. However, the way he works as a being of chaotic entity will be.

Have a great day!
