Oh, well... Things rarely go according to plan, I suppose.

The more prepared you are, the more likely you are to face unforeseen circumstances...

...

But worst of all, we didn't keep enough of an eye out for Dabura.

We were just too preoccupied with Majin Buu and the Grand Supreme Kai.

No need for Lord Dabura to trouble himself with you.

We're more than capable of handling you by ourselves.

Don't panic, Trunks. We can still correct our course, I think...!

I'm sure getting into a fight with us isn't their main objective, either.

Oh, there is a point. If we can't defeat them, we certainly can't beat Dabura.

We've come this far. There's no turning back now! We must find a way to beat them. Then we can catch Babidi unawares, and...

...

I know these guys aren't inherently evil.

They got strong convictions of their own, and that's what they're bringing to the fight.

Yeah. But if they insist on getting in our way...

There's no way we can even lay a finger on Dabura.

Trunks, Player, you think you're ready for that?

We can't afford to get taken out while we're hesitating like this.

If we want to get through this, we need to brace ourselves!

Impressive...!

Sorry, but we're not backing down either.

It's nothing but all-out from now on.

...Same here.

Let's get serious about this.

...Shula.

Lord Dabura?

Be honest with me.

Did you attack Lord Babidi?

...

Be honest with me.

Did you attack Lord Babidi?

...

And in case I'm not clear, I have no time right now for your pathetic excuses.

...Yes, I did.

So you admit it?

Yes.

Well, if that is the case...

For the crime of laying hands on Lord Babidi... I am forced to execute you!

I cannot lie to you, Lord Dabura.

Please, Lord Dabura, give us some time here!

What is it...?

Don't tell me all of you are going to turn on me next?

No, my lord! I just didn't want you to stain your hands executing a traitor.

Allow me and Gola to do the deed instead.

...

So be it.

...

...

You two, stay by Lord Dabura's side.

Do that, and I know you'll have a chance to defeat Babidi.

...

Dabura! What do you think you're doing?

You need to strike the final blow yourself! You've got to do it!

Lord Babidi!

Come on! Do it!

Prepare yourself, Shula.

Anyone who dares to strike at Lord Babidi will pay a terrible price!

My resolve is firm...

Damned fool...!

You're protecting your own enemy?!

Damn it! Out of my way!

Shula! I have one final question for you.

Do you have any intention of changing your ways?

...

Then I will make your death a quick one, at least.

...

To have failed like this...!

That light!

Listen up, Shula! You're one of the few people who ever got me really fired up!

So I'm not gonna let you die here, all right?

...! Goku...!

Goku...

Trunks, Player, sorry to keep you waiting!

Piccolo!

Gohan... You're safe...

I heard the general gist of what's going on.

We need to rescue Grand Supreme Kai, right?

Goku, was it? Friends to all of these people, right?

How dare you get in the way of the execution!

I'm not gonna let you have your way here!

I'll take you on!

Goku...! To think you were capable of this much...

You've grown even stronger since our last fight, haven't you?!

The more we Saiyans fight, the stronger we get.

Better not assume I'll be the same as before every time you fight me.

Tssh...! Why must all of you take Shula's side like this?

With Shula gone, that'd be one less enemy for you to worry about, would it not?

I wanna fight him again the right way. We got a lot of unfinished business to tackle!

That's it? That's the one single reason?!

Fighting strong rivals takes precedence over everything else in your life?!

...Anyway, it'd be a shame to see someone so incredible die, wouldn't it?

...

A shame...?

How dare you! Treating ME, the great Demon Lord, as a warm-up?

Well, I couldn't just stand by and watch you pick on someone who won't even fight back.

Plus, I must defeat you to save Krillin and everyone else.

...

How dare he treat Lord Dabura as a sparring partner! We'll deal with him!

Allow us to handle this for you, Lord Dabura!

Hey, Melee! Hi, Gola! Long time no see!

You guys really are super-awesome!

I'm getting pumped!

Impressive... Holding your own this well against me and Gola at once?

I suppose the same was true back in your childhood, too.

You look like you're really enjoying this, Lady Melee.

Heh heh... You too, Gola.

That little kid Goku is now a great martial artist... How exciting!

Now I want to face him in a serious one-on-one match too...!

Heh... So we had an ace up our sleeve all along?

All right! Trunks! Player! Let's talk strategy again.

Heh heh... Funny, isn't it?

Goku... Being rescued by you makes me want to cling to life again.

Hm?

I've been acting to fulfill my mission...

Maybe I should've kept things simple, just like you.

A mission?

Heh. Don't bother trying to stop me.

Hold it, Trunks. Bickering won't get us anywhere.

Let's go fight Babidi instead.

With Goku and Gohan back, we have more fighters on our side now.

I think it's time that we reconsider our strategy a little.

Reconsider it how?

We'll fight and corner Babidi, forcing him to resurrect Buu for us.

We can get Chiaotzu and the rest back after that.

Exactly. With Goku and the rest here, we are way more prepared now.

Even if our enemies increase for now, we should still be fine.

Whoa, whoa, do I not get a say in any of this?

Remember, I intend to fully neutralize Babidi once I'm done with him.

Yeah, I know this won't exactly be a friendly alliance.

Hmph...

Goku... We'll head over to Babidi.

Can I leave Dabura and his cohorts to you?

Sure! No problem!

I'll keep 'em pinned down right here!

I'll be okay, Gohan.

You go help out Piccolo and the gang, okay?

Piccolo! Keep an eye on Gohan for me!

...Okay.

...

His saliva? Got it.

You guys be careful too!

Hold it! I'm not letting you go anywhere!

Not so fast! Your opponent is right here!

What's wrong? Is that the best you can do?

Tssh... Don't you gloat just yet!

Lady Melee... Is it wise for us to keep fighting like this?

We can't let Lord Dabura be defeated, regardless of how Lord Shula's plan works out.

Our job here is to keep the situation under control.

Oh... I see.

So Lord Shula's taking such bold actions precisely because we're with Lord Dabura?

Phew... Not the most glamorous of roles.

I suppose my showdown with Goku will have to wait a while longer.

This is the entrance to Babidi's spaceship?

And I suppose we'll find Babidi at the very bottom.

All right... Let's move!

Whew... I was kind of nervous there. It's been a while since I last fought.

Dad gave me a little training after my fight with Buu, but...

So he's the son of Goku...

All right! Let's keep going!

Hmph... You certainly seem confident, at least...

Plunging you all back into the depths of despair would be fun.
