Part 6, Chapter 3: The Immortal Evil Majin

Oh! So you've met me before! The me who's still fighting Cell, huh?

Yeah. We went our own ways a little while ago, but I imagine he's out there somewhere, fighting like us...

Makes sense! Man, I wish I could meet him. I'm curious what he's...well, what I was like back then!

Then again, I've been skipping out on training quite a bit, and I'm pretty rusty...

So maybe it's better he doesn't see how out of practice I am.

(This Gohan feels way different from the one I know back in my era.)

(But...he's still Gohan. Even if he says he's gotten rusty, he's still incredibly strong!)

Anyway, I think I understand the situation better now that I've heard everything from you.

We can't let Babidi have his way with Earth!

No matter what era he hails from, the son always seems to have his head screwed on better than his father...

Oh! Lord Beerus!

The situation's changed. Babidi was watching when you defeated that Boujack earlier.

He'll be here himself with Majin Buu in tow next. It's do or die!

Majin Buu?! That pink thing?

Now that you mention it, I sense some strong Ki heading this way! And fast!

That's Majin Buu. I'm sure Babidi won't be far behind.

No way! I can't believe he's coming here already!

I might have riled up Babidi a bit.

You what?! Why?

Don't get so worked up! I have a plan.

Besides, you've known from the start the kind of situation we're in until Shallot finishes training.

I know, but still...it's too soon to fight! It hasn't been that long since Master entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber!

Don't worry! We're all used to this, right? Evil coming to take something away... We'll just send them right back again!

Trunks...

You're right. I guess complaining doesn't solve anything.

That's the spirit. Just hold out until Shallot returns. Got it?

Are they not going to join the fight?

Unfortunately not... I heard they have their reasons why they can't...

So, I guess it's just the three of us then, huh?

Yeah, that's right...!

Until Master returns, it's up to the three of us to protect this city!

How about here? It's just the right distance away from the city, and it looks like there's space to fight.

Right, we can fend off Majin Buu here. It's just him for now, isn't it?

Seems that way. I can only sense his Ki approaching right now.

If we can stop him here, we should be able to protect the city.

Maybe it's just me but...

Is he really that fearsome of an enemy? That Majin Buu thing...

What do you mean?

Sure, he has an absurd amount of Ki, but is he really as strong as we're making him out to be?

Don't you think the three of us together will be able to handle it?

I hope so... Still, it's better not to let our guard down.

Buuuu!

...!

He's here!

Majin Buu!

Hmm? Ohh! Babidi say you Buu's playtime toys!

Babidi! Can Buu play yet?

Where is Babidi?!

...Hm? No Babidi...?

Uh oh! Buu left him behind! Hah hah hah!

Heh...hah hah! What's with him? He seems like some kind of fool!

And if his Ki now is as high as it gets, the three of us should be enough to take care of him no problem!

I'm not so sure, Trunks...!

Haaaaa!

...!

Who knows just what he's capable of... We can't let our guard down!

Cabba's right. Full power right from the get-go!

Nnhhh...!

You...strong? Buu strong!!

H-His Ki just shot up!

Hee hee! Fun, fun, fun!

Now...we... PLAY!!!

*pant* *pant*

Nee hee hee! You tickle Buu!

What's with this guy?! He still hasn't taken any damage after all those attacks!

No, our attacks damaged him alright... He's just regenerating too quickly for them to have any effect!

Buu's turn!

Hup!

W-Woah!

That attack...! That was too close...

Hah hah hah! You dodge! You dodge! Wow-o-wow!

Incredible regeneration...crazy power...! He's some kind of monster!

Gah...!

Regular attacks aren't going to cut it!

In that case, we'll hit him all at once with an attack too strong for him to regenerate from!

Seems that's our only option.

If we don't stop him here, we're in deep trouble. All together now, guys!

You got it!

Not good! It looks like Cabba and the others are losing ground out there!

You can see them fighting all the way over there? Some eyes you've got, space boy.

B-Bulma?! What are you doing out here?! What if something comes blasting this way?

If that happens, it won't just be me you have to worry about. This whole city is toast.

If I'm gonna get blown up, I wanna at least see what got me! Not that I can see anything at this distance, though...

Fine! Suit yourself. You always choose the weirdest moments to be brave.

So, how does it look? Are Cabba and the rest of them going to win?

To tell you the truth, it doesn't look good.

They're giving it their all, but Majin Buu doesn't even seem to be at full power yet...

No way!

W-Woah! What's going on?! The ground just shook!

It's Cabba and the others! They're powering up!

They must be trying to end the fight with some all-or-nothing attack!

All or...nothing?! D-Do you think they can pull it off?

How am I supposed to know?!

All we can do from back here is watch and hope...

But...there has to be something...

(You better come back soon, Shallot! If those guys don't make it, it's only a matter of time before the whole city gets destroyed!)

No holding back!

We'll stop you here with everything we have!

Hah hah hah! You still wanna play? Woo hoo! Let's play! Let's play!

Ah hah hah! Take that!

Guh! Ngh!

Why you...! Nngraaaah!

Hyaaaa!

Pah?!

Gohan! Cabba! Do it now!!

You got it!

Let him have it!

HAAAAA!!!

Uwaaa?!

?!

*pant* *pant* Did we get him?

*pant* *pant* Direct hit...I think.

That could've gotten out of hand... But we did it! He's really gone! Nice work, you two!

...

(He was strong... Stronger than any enemy I've faced until now.)

(It's got me on edge... Did we really defeat someone as strong as him?)

Oh, dear. Buu got all beat up? Woe is me, whatever shall I do?

!!

So this is Babidi!

Haha! What are you gonna do all by yourself now, Babidi? We defeated Majin Buu!

Wait! He's not alone!

Don't worry, Lord Babidi.

Allow me to deal with them. This won't be a problem at all.

Dabura!

What's this? The small one seems more interested in you than he is me, Dabura.

Indeed. I suppose we do have a little history together... Heh heh heh...

The last time we met, you were playing bodyguard with those oversized dolls... I think you called them "androids?"

...

I never would have thought that brat from back then could get so powerful. What a happy little accident!

What do you mean?

You have my gratitude, boy! For getting rid of that unsightly blob, Majin Buu.

...What?

What?!

I was never too fond of him.

He was all brawn and no brain. Hardly fitting for a servant of Lord Babidi!

Dabura, you watch your tongue!

Lord Babidi, allow me to prove I am superior to that revolting pink mass.

You detested Majin Buu that much, did you?

Very well, I'll leave this to you.

Thank you, my Lord. I will not disappoint you.

Dabura! It's your fault!

It's your fault that Cell absorbed #17 and #18!

Hmph, you're just like that fool Shallot. Is that all you two can say?

That you miss playing with your precious toy dolls?

Hee hee! Playing with dolls? What a cute hobby! Gya hah hah hah!

!!

That's it!

You're going down!

I don't need the details to know that these guys are the worst of the worst!

Agreed. We've gotta stop them here. We won't let you have your way!

Three on one? Heh heh, that almost sounds fair.

Now, in place of that no-good blob...

I'll send you to hell!

Haaaaa!

Ngggh!

*pant*

(We just need to keep this up. He's not nearly as tough as Majin Buu!)

Heh, you really are stronger than you were before!

The two fools with you aren't bad either. I now see how Majin Buu and Boujack were defeated.

We won't let you have your way any longer!

You're going down first...and then Babidi!

You can't defeat me! Heh heh heh!

Argh- No!

*pant* *pant*

Cabba!

You...powered down?!

I was watching your fight with Boujack, you know.

What was it you said to him? That you're not used to that form yet? Hah hah hah!

Very clever to exploit the enemy's weakness. Excellent work, Dabura!

Heh heh heh. Provoke the novice and he becomes predictable, just as planned.

You've forfeited your composure and exhausted your energy. You're finished!

*pant* *pant* Dammit!

That leaves just one worthy opponent: the boy in purple over there. Heh heh heh!

Hey! I'm stronger than I look! Plus, you're nothing compared to Majin Buu.

If we give it everything we've got, the two of us will be more than enough!

Eugh... This is why I loathe to engage with imbeciles. So troublesome...

Everything, you say? A few measly ants threatening their "full power" is nothing to me! There's no way you can stop us!

I couldn't have put it better myself. I'll squash these insects, no matter how many appear...and without Ma–

Without Majin Buu? Hee hee... Or how about with ONLY Majin Buu!

W-What?

Dabura, you can stand down now.

Majin Buu will handle the rest! Hee hee, finally! Now we're getting to the good part!

Lord Babidi, what are you talking about? That thing is already...!

What's with this smoke?!

This Ki! It belongs to...!

No...! It can't be!

Buuuu!

He came back to life?!

B-But he should have been obliterated! How...?!

You're telling me that Majin Buu's still alive after that attack?!

T-That's impossible! Is he invincible?! This is bad... How are we supposed to defeat something like this?

Heh heh heh!

*yawn* Good morning!

Good morning yourself! You're rather buoyant for having left me behind, flying here, and getting yourself blown up!

Ah, but that's in the past! Playtime is over, Buu! It's time to put away your toys, hee hee... Destroy them!

Hum... Buu don't wanna! They boring! Buu want to have fun!

Don't be like that, Buu. If you crush them, I'll give you lots of treats!

Treats! Really?!

Of course! That city just over there has plenty of treats! You can eat all you want!

T-Treats?

We won't let you get anywhere NEAR that city!

You goody-goodys... Buu no like goody-goodys!

Oh well! You go bye-bye, Buu get treats! Treats! Eh heh heh heh!

Darn it...!

Wait, Lord Babidi! Please, allow me to exterminate these pests in your name!

Hmm?

Stand back, you blubbering oaf!

I don't care how great your regenerative powers are. You were defeated once, so there's no place for you here!

You talk big meanie talk... But you weak!

What did you say?!

Dabura, Dabura...oh so loyal, a true servant. And yet, you're beginning to stifle me. So annoying...

That's it. Majin Buu, go ahead and eat him!

WHAT?!

E-Eat him?!

Your usefulness has run its course, Dabura.

All I need is Majin Buu from now on! Thank you for your service! Hya hah hah!

You must be joking! Lord Babidi! Please!

Nee hee hee! Buu eat you!

Buu make you cookie!

Aah?! Aaaah!

I-Impossible!

What the...?!

Nee hee hee! Cookie time!

Crunch crunch munch munch!

Hmmm... Horn man need more sweet!

I don't believe it... H-He turned his own ally into a cookie...and ate him!

Just what is this thing?!

WAIT!

Of course! That city just over there has plenty of treats! You can eat all you want!

The "treats" that Babidi was talking about before...he was talking about...!

Hee hee hee! Well, I'm not one for gore and such, after all.

Instead, all of the people in that city will become delicious treats for Buu!

What?!

Now, Buu, end them and let's get over to that city!

Okey dokey!

We won't let you!

We're going to stop you! Right here, right now!

Hup!

Gyaah!

Cabba!

Damn you!

Hah hah! You tickle!

H-How?!

Now it Buu's turn!

Gaaaaagh!

Tch, you monster! Try this!

Ka...me...ha...me...!

Oh?

Haaaaaa!

...!

Hee hee hee! It's useless!

Dammit...!

Owie... You hurt Buu!

BUU...BUU HATE...

...! Uh oh-

BUU HATE YOU!

Uaaaaagh!

Hmph!

That was close! I told you to warn me before doing stuff like that!

Nngh... He's so powerful!

Argh... Gohan, are you...okay?

J-Just barely!

How did he get this much stronger than before?!

I don't think he got stronger. He's probably always been this strong!

Now...we... PLAY!!!

He's been playing around this whole time! Just like he said!

No way... That entire fight was just him playing around?!

Tch...! So, he's not only immortal, but this strong too!? What are we supposed to do?!

Hmmm? They should have fallen somewhere around here.

There they are! They've crashed to the ground! How unsightly! Hah hah hah!

Ngh...!

Hee hee hee! You're all looking nicely exhausted. I think it's about time we finished things up.

Destroy them, Buu, so that I can suck them dry of their energy! Whatever's left of it, that is!

Then it'll be all-you-can-eat treats! Go get them! Hee hee!

Woohoo! Woohoo! Treats! Treats!

I want that God of Destruction Beerus to watch helplessly as Buu eats all the people in that city! Hee hee hee!

I can't wait to see the frustration on his face! Hah hah hah hah!

Too bad you won't get to!

Huh?

Someone I care about is in that city! I won't let you so much as touch a single hair on their head!

Heh heh heh! A loved one, eh? That just makes me want to get there all the more!

You...! I'll tear you apart!!!

Augh!

Curses!

Grgh...!

I'm sooooo scared! Hee hee! Was that meant to be your big comeback?

I'm not done yet...!

Insolent little gnats... Buu, exterminate them!

Hup!

Gaaaaah!!

Trunks!

Pathetic. Not even enough strength left to flee...

And hardly any energy left to steal! What a no-good, time-wasting lout!

Come now, Buu! Take care of the other two!

Ngh...!

Hum...Babidi? Can Buu eat the no-good lout thingy?

No, no! You'll get a stomachache if you eat such a goody-two-shoes!

Tch...they're toying with us!

Nngh...Buu...Babidi! You'll pay for what you did to Trunks!

Hee hee! You're almost there, Buu! Once you finish crushing them, it's treat time!

Agh...!

Nngh...

Hee hee! Looks like we're done here! Quite the stubborn bunch.

And now...it's time for a treat feast! Courtesy of that city, of course! I hope you're watching, Beerus! Hya hee!

Buu?!

Now what?!

Wait!

I-I can still fight!

You're still alive? You really don't know when to quit. Oh well...

You're up, Buu!

Hup!

Agh!!

You a goody-goody! Buu no like you!

Ugggh!

Finally, some peace and quiet!

Grrngh...

...!

I-I won't...let you go!

Shallot's depending on...me!

I'm gonna train and get stronger than ever! In the meantime, I'm leaving this place to you guys!

I will...

...protect that city...!

Hum!

Gah hah hah! Is that all you've got?! You call that a punch?!

Ngh...!

Little boy with big mouth make Buu mad!

You said it, Buu! He's really getting on my nerves! Why don't you teach him one last lesson?

...!

Go, Buu! Make it so he can't get back up ever again!

Ho-hoo! Okey dokey!

I...won't lose... Not now... Not Ever!

We'll never lose to scum like you!

Gah hah hah! More tough talk, eh? You're pathetic! A disgrace! Hah hah hah!

He's anything but!

?!

Huh?

It's just like Cabba said.

WE'LL never lose to scum like you!

Master!

Impossible! Shallot, how are you...?

You alive! Nee hee hee!

How is this possible? You should be dead! Buu destroyed you!

...

(That's Trunks lying over there, and judging from his Ki...is that Gohan?)

(They're still alive. That's what's important!)

Master...

You did a great job holding down the fort while I was gone, Cabba! You really are amazing!

Hey! Shallot! Don't you ignore me!

Shut it, old man! It's been a while since I've talked to my student, so keep your trap shut!

Well, I never!

I guess it hasn't felt that long for you, though, Cabba.

Oh...yeah...

Well, you've done more than enough for now. Grab those two and get some rest in the city!

I'll make these two pay for what they did, and then some!

What are you talking about? You're going to take us on by yourself?

All by...yourself?

How typically arrogant of you to barge in uninvited and start talking big!

Quickly now, Buu! Turn this idiot into pulp like you did the other two!

Okey dokey!

Nee hee hee! Buu smash you like big cookie!

...

Hyyup!

?!

Woah...!

Too slow!

Hiyaaaah!

Waaaaah!

Wha–?! Buu!

Phew!

Buu? BUU! Just how far did he send you?!

(I couldn't even see Master's moves!)

Now's your chance, Cabba! Get out of here!

Y-Yes, sir!

Um, Master?

Hm?

Be safe!

You got it!

Nggh!

Alrighty then!

Ready to pay, you piece of crap old man?

Eek!

This isn't good! Hey! Get out here and protect me, you rust-buckets!

So Babidi has you tin men under his control too?

Heh heh! Didn't expect this, did you! Buu isn't my only servant! I've gathered warriors from all around the Earth!

Now, go! End Shallot once and for all!

Outta my way!

You're not worth my time!

Hmph!

Wh-What in the world?!

I've taken out everyone here, and Buu's not around to save you now.

There's no one left to protect you!

Eeeek!

Buu! Get back here! Hurry!

Buu baaack!

...!

Tch! He's faster than I expected!

I'm saved!

Hmm...? Where other ones go?

...

Oh, well! Buu don't wanna play with weak goody-goodys like them anyway! Hah hah hah!

...Did you just call them weak?

...?

They are NOT weak!

They fought with everything they had, despite knowing they couldn't win! And you dare call them weak?!

?!

I ain't got enough time to list all my problems with you!

So I've got a simpler solution to get it through that flabby head of yours!

I'll beat it into you! With everything I've got!

Ha! Is that so? And how do you plan to do that after how badly YOU were beaten the last time you tried?

Like THIS!

...

W-What's that? What IS that?! None of the ones before looked like that!

What is this? What in the world is this?!

This is the result of my training. The power I forged to defeat you!

Super Saiyan 3!

Buu not scared of scary face goody!

Hah...hah hah! T-That's right! Buu won't lose to an ant like you! H-He can't lose!

Yeah! Buu strong!

You think you're stronger than me? Then PROVE IT you pink doughball!

I owe you both a good beating, and you're first up!

Waah?!

...

Nee hee hee!

You strong... You make Buu mad!

Heh, looks like I finally wiped that stupid smile off your face.

Why is Buu making that face? Is he actually struggling?!

(This could be bad. This could be very bad!)

(If Majin Buu loses, what will happen to me?!)

B-Buu! Don't hold back! Do anything it takes! Just kill him!

Okay! Buu kill him! Kill him good! Buu hate him!

The feeling's mutual!

Kill me if you can, you big fat freak!
