Chapter Twenty-One : The Dragonball Quest

Cell fired a blast through Majin Buu's stomach, hoping that if he could get in a quick punch the beast might not be able to regenerate.He threw his fist through the open hole which merely sealed over his hand.Buu plucked Cell from him like he was nothing and then kneed him in the stomach.Cell broke out of Buu's grip and punched him across the face and then fired a giant blast which struck Buu across the stomach and chest and sent him crashing into the sea below.
Babidi watched from the air.Who is this guy? And why is he attacking us? He wasnt with those other people...
Cell appeared beside Buu in the water and unleashed a flurry of punches upon to him.Cell's tail wrapped round Buu's tiny, fat neck and squeezed, but Buu soon ripped Cell's tail out and whipped him with it.Cell spun around and regrew his tail,then went back for more.
He kneed Buu in the stomach and then smashed him in the back with his elbow,then put his hands together.
"Masenko!"he shouted, blasting Majin Buu out of the water.Cell followed and kicked him back into the water,sending bubbles everywhere as he followed.
What are they doing? Babidi thought, as all he could see was the water sloshing about below him, Buu should be all over him!
Cell turned in the mass of bubbles, and searched for Buu.He sensed him ahead,but before he could blast forward Buu had headbutted him in the back into the slimy seafloor, sending waves of dust and mud into the water.
He's so fast, Cell thought, as he stood and turned to them, How is that?That blubbery-
He had to jump to avoid Buu coming in from below,and as Buu slid underneath him he fired Piccolo's Masenkopapo beam, which blasted away his head.Cell blasted up to the water's surface and rested, but felt a burning beneath him, then he was grabbed by Buu.He tore free and the two of them blasted out of the water and rose together. Cell fired a giant blue blast, Majin Buu a purple, and they collided with each other, exploding and sending great clouds of flame into the air.The two of them clashed, and held their arms out.
Cell and Buu squeezed each other's hands in a blaze of energy.A golden aura encased them and Babidi was blown back, unable to stay close.
"Come on, Buu!Do it!"he encouraged, but inside the cage neither Cell nor Buu could hear him.
"I wont be beaten!"Cell warned.Suddenly Cell broke out and kneed Buu in the chin, and as Buu pulled away he grabbed the back of his head and smashed it into his knee.He kept doing this as Babidi watched in horror.
"Break out, Buu!You know you can!"
Buu pulled away and breathed in a great breath, re-inflating his flat face."Ohhh,Buu Buu get you!"
Cell charged and threw his hand through Buu's stomach,then fired a blast,devouring it and then his whole body.He put his hands back and charged up his adversaries attack as Babidi fled to a cliff below."Ka..me...ha...me....ha!"
He landed on it worridly.He knew that if Buu survived then he had to go straight to Kami's lookout and wish for Immortality.Sweat poured down his face.A haze of blue energy blinded Babidi as Cell's attack hit the blobby clumps, all that remained of Majin Buu.
They were oblitered before Cell.He gasped and breathed heavily, lowering his arms.
"I have done it.I have...suceeded where Goku failed...I reign strong.Gohan!"he called,"I'm coming for you!"
And he sped off again.Babidi's eyes regained themselves and he ran to the edge of the cliff.
"Majin Buu?Majin Buu?!!"he screamed,"Answer me!!!"
A tiny particle of dust floated towards Babidi."Oh no...my plans...they will protect the dragonballs, my strength will not be enough...Buu! I need you!"The dust particle formed itself into Majin Buu,right before Babidi.
"Ba...Buu?Is that...you?"he asked,blinking up into Majin Buu's shadow.
"Me Buu"
"Aha...ahahahha!Your alive!"
"Bibi get on Buu's back now?"he asked,bending down.Babidi jumped onto Buu's back."Onto the lookout tower Majin Buu, above us!"
Buu nodded and blasted a straight vertical course.
"We're quite close to it"Babidi whispered, "But even if we werent, we should spot it....yes, there is Korin's tower..."
They passed Korin's tower.
"Korin, is that...?"Yadjirobe asked.
"It's Majin Buu, I know...I must warn Kami about him...now..."
Korin closed his eyes.
"Really?I thought it was the pizza guy.I've called him enough times.They say our adress doesnt exist"
"Your...an idiot!"
"Hey!!"

"How are you handling the training, Piccolo?"Kami asked atop the lookout.Piccolo turned to Kami, frowning.
"They are children with amazing adeption.They're strength is beyond belief.But unlocking their potential..."
"You believe that they have great potential?"
"They goof off and sleep.Except Brika, they slack"
"I see, Piccolo.Just train how you feel right.Holding back may not be the right option"
"You think?"
"Yes.It may not be kind but teaching them responsibility and martial arts takes discipline"
Piccolo sighed and stood up."Thanks"he said, his cloak waving about in the wind, "...Kami"
"You called me...Kami..."Kami whispered,turning, but he no-one.
Inside the lookout, Piccolo woke up the sleeping children, Trunks, Goten and Chiaku, and led them outside.
Goten, Trunks and Chiaku walked out into the sunlight and blinked,rubbing their hair.
"Sleeps over!"Piccolo barked.
"Where's...Kaioshi?"Trunks asked dreamily.Brika stopped her training and had walked over,and she was staring hard at Chiaku.
"I want you to raise your power levels to their maximum, and then I can analyse them.Your maximum without going Super Saiyan, I mean"
The children raised their power levels."Right"Piccolo said, "Brika you and Trunks are too high.Lower your power levels to Goten and Chiaku's level"
They nodded and began adjusting.
I would love to train...but why cant I? Karron thought sadly.
"What's up, son?"Krillin asked.
"Nothing dad...just...how come I dont get to fuse?"
"Well, son...there are some things in life your good at and others your not.And some things people are better at than you..."
"Dad,what do you mean?"
"Why do I have to work at these babies levels?"Brika whispered.
"What's that?"Piccolo snapped, "Dont agree with my training schedule?Then you can become a Super Saiyan and stay one for an hour while we practice"
"Fine..."Brika muttered,powering up and going to sit away from the group.Karron's eyes lit up and he shuffled forward.
"Piccolo, can I be Chiaku's partner?"
"What?"
"You know, now that Brika is gone"
Piccolo nodded and Karron went over to happily join Chiaku.
"Well, get on with it!"Piccolo called.
And so they did.They practiced over and over,until a shadow filled the lookout.The eleven of them; Krillin, Piccolo, Trunks, Goten, Chiaku, Brika, Dende, Mr.Popo, Kami, Yamcha and Tien all turned to see a yellow ship gliding down onto the lookout surface.The back lowered and out came a group of people;Videl, Chi-Chi, Bulma, Roshi, Ox-King, Puuar, Oolong, Karron, Marron, Maron and Baby Bra
"Who..."Piccolo grunted,forgetting the fusion."Get out of the way!"he snapped,and turned on the four fusionists.
"Brika, your up!"Piccolo cried.Brika powered down and walked over to Karron.
"Times up, move over"
Karron stared at her jealously and moved away silently.She powered down again.
Impossible, Piccolo thought, She's kept her Super Saiyan level all this time...at her age.There's something within her...
"It's time for the fusion!"Piccolo said.
"Do the fusion NOW!"Piccolo screeched,and they took their positions.Bulma and Chi-Chi,looking highly affronted,confused and intrigued watched from the sidelines as Piccolo held them back.The same white light filled the clearing as four bodies became two.
When the light faded Piccolo's arms were pushed forward and a crowd of people swarmed forward.Amongst the confusion an old,frail looking man,extremely thin with grey hair burst out of the light and fell to the ground,a young girl.
"Its gone wrong again..."Piccolo whispered,Karron at his side."Why didnt you all be QUIET?"
"I did"Karron protested."But...how come I never got to fuse?"
Piccolo did not reply.
"Now its an hour and a half 'till this thing can be done again!"Piccolo shouted,but no one seemed to be listening.
"Now come on, Piccolo"the young girl said, "I got it right,didnt I?"
The crowd turned to her and Piccolo and charged forward.
The swarm of people bustled about and Piccolo was knocked aside.He turned to the edge of the lookout.
Tien, Yamcha, Krillin, Dende, Popo and Kami had managed to restrain themselves.
"What's your names?" Bulma asked as Piccolo joined them at the edge of the lookout.
"How about"Chi-Chi thought, "Chiaka and Trunkten?"
Suddenly Kami screwed up his face and closed his eyes.Then, after a few tense seconds while the other stared at him he opened his eyes and announced, "He's coming!Majin Buu is coming here!"
"What?!"Piccolo spat.
"Gotenks"the thin man coughed,"Go..go..."he mumbled.
"Brikau"the girl said,"Boy boys, how bad can you get?Couldnt even do a simple fusion like this"
"Everyone, get inside now!"Piccolo cried.
"Oh, come on Piccolo, lighten up!"
"Majin Buu is coming!"
The crowd fell silent, and then screaming erupted as everyone scattered.
"Cool, a chance to test my strength"Brikau said, hopping forward.
"Stay back!"Piccolo called."We dont know how-"
But she was already at the edge of the lookout, and in one fine leap she was off it and right in front of Majin Buu and Babidi.
"And who are you?"Babidi asked.
"My name's Brikau.And I'm here to fight you"
"Fight us, huh?"Babidi repeated,"Out of our way, child"
"Just what do you want?"
"I'm looking for the dragonballs, I dont suppose you can help me"
"I know them.What's it to ya?"
"Kid just get out of our way!Buu, dispose of her!"
"The dragonballs, I dont know where they are, but I do know you need a radar to find them"the old man fusion of Gotenks wheezed.
"Why thank you"Babidi said, as Brikau looked horrified.
"You idiot!"she cried, "Why did you tell him?"
"And where is the radar?"Babidi continued.
"Your not telling him that!"Brikau told them.She kicked Gotenks back up towards the lookout where he smashed into it.
"Little girl, what a temper.Buu, destroy her"
Buu nodded and blasted forward and charged right into her.His bulk knocked her back into Gotenks and he continued on up onto the lookout.
"He took out Gotenks and Brikau like they were nothing..."Yamcha muttered."You guys,what are we gonna do?"
"We're going to fight for as long as we can"Piccolo said.
"No, we're not going to do any fighting" Babidi said, hopping off Majin Buu's back, "Your going to tell us where we can find some sort of radar"
"What?"Piccolo snapped.
"We're looking for the dragonballs, and we need to find the device that will locate them for us"
Silence filled the lookout."No, nothing?"Babidi asked."Oh well then...wait..."he paused."That's it"he muttered, I'll just look into Vegeta's memory ...yes...and...capsule corperation...home of Trunks.Maybe I can find him there, too...
"Well, goodbye"Babidi said,turning round and jumping back onto Buu's back.
"What...so thats..it?"Krillin asked, totally surprised, but Piccolo jumped forward and blasted the creature.
Babidi turned, his face filled with light, "Huh?No!Narghhh!"
But, as the light faded, the Z fighters saw Majin Buu standing in the way to take the attack.
"So"Piccolo said,standing up,"You survived me twice.Want to see if you get third time lucky?"
Babidi ignored him and jumped onto Majin Buu's back."Come on, Buu"he said,"Let's go down to capsule corperation"
"About that"Piccolo said,"I dont think so"
"Well you dont have any say in the matter!Majin Buu, I dont have time to fight, just go, quickly!"
Majin Buu nodded and blasted downwards, and Babidi jumped and landed on him, and the two of them headed straight for capsule corperation.
"They'll be there in a few minutes.We've got to formulate a gameplan"Piccolo muttered.

Cell glided away from the battlescene, blasting in a great arch through the air.
"Hmmm..."he muttered, staring up into the clouds, "What to do next..."
He flipped over and stared down upon the wrecked city below him, "Maybe I should destroy this planet?"
He thought for a while, gliding through the air, and decided that there was little challenge for him on the planet."Yes"he murmured,"There is no one to fight.Over the years collecting Saiyan cells may have been my downfall..."
Ahh, back to when I was weak.To when my life was a pitiful, useless existence, to when I lived in a bone-filled cave in a remote forest place.I dont remember it well, I didnt remember much.I focused solely on power, gaining power, consuming power, but I never did so.I waited for a time, a time that when I fought Gohan had came to me in a wonderful vision.A blinding flash of light and a tremendous amount of power that was mine, while a demon and a small green man watched.I knew the day would come, and so I waited.For seven, long years I waited, and in deep medititation yet another vision came to me.This time it was from my creator, Dr.Gero.He informed me that within myself I had skills that even I did not know I had, but it was my duty to use them against Goku.Of course I dismissed this, for I had already proved myself to Goku, and it was Gohan that I immediatly focused extracting all my hidden talents on.Some came to me, others became apparent, but not applicable, to me.I could now take cells from any creature in the universe, instantly take on their abilites and knowledge, like Goku took life energy from all those to power his spirit bomb.With this I took cells from all sorts of forest creatures, but still after years of practice it takes a long time to extract the cells.I could see great distances, smell and hear creatures for miles around and had the animal-like instincts I needed to survive this new world.Sometimes I absorbed creatures into my being, gaining slightly more energy.In my remote hideout I was free from the Z fighters, but also other humans to devour.After six and a half years the vision I first had came back to me, and I knew it was time to search for humans and for information.I left my home and headed for the nearest person I could find.In a frenzy I absorbed a happy farming family at the edge of the forest, and power and evil where instilled within me again.But also, something I had not felt in a long time, no, forever, came to me.When thinking I had devoured the whole family, I discovered a young child who had escaped my clutches.The child had been terrified of me, but my Ki held it still.I thirsted for blood, for even the tiniest scrap of power to feed my wild, re-embellished addiction when I felt pity and guiltiness touch upon me.I couldnt kill the child.I frowned in the face of death, but I had to do it.I had to, for him to be with his family and not a terrified wreck as he was.I had felt my first sense of what can only be described as love, and as a statement for this I blasted the child and his home away.What I had learned was that a World Martial Arts Tournament was coming up...
Cell shook his head."No"he spat,"No its not true,stop!"he cried,twisting madly.He stopped,and stared down at the next destroyed city below.
"Maybe...maybe those Saiyans Cells were a bad idea..."he muttered,"I havent changed... have... I...?"

Meanwhile, Babidi and Majin Buu had landed at capsule corperation.
"Amazing, what a strange building"Babidi commented,"Buu, would you kindly blast away the door?"
Buu nodded and fired blast which blew apart the door and the offices surrounding it,sending grey clouds of dust and wreckage about.Buu and Babidi came into the building as survivors ran screaming or crawled hopelessly about as their legs had been burnt harshly.
"Now one of you tell me where I can find the dragon radar or you'll all get it"
Some people stopped and stared."No?No-one?"Babidi asked.He looked up to Buu,"Will you do the ho-"
"Wait"a man on the floor, burned and scarred croaked,"I've heard Bulma talk about it...she keeps a spare in her office"
"Where's that?"
"Fifth floor"the man spluttered."Please sir, can you help us?"
Babidi looked at him,frowning as he weighed up the proposition."No"he decided,and Majin Buu desicrated the entire first floor and then moved on, Buu smashing through the floors and Babidi following from the giant holes left behind.Soon they reached the fifth floor, and Babidi ordered Buu to stop.They jumped up onto the unwrecked floor and saw Bulma's office openly labelled.
Babidi used his own magic to blow open the door, and he and Buu walked in.A woman stood before Bulma's desk,and politely asked what they wanted,her response being blown into oblivion.
Babidi found the radar adorning the desktop, helped himself to it, and exited atop Majin Buu.

The peices of rock hit the floor and smashed into small peices.Gohan had destroyed Goku's many rocks, and had gained some confidence along the way.
"Heh,too easy!"Gohan yelled, at Goku's mountain-size rock.
Wow..it is truly amazing the power these Saiyan's posses.Anything that would be an impossible task for a even a man of renowed strength is a pushover for them.
"Anything harder?"Goku asked in a whisper,turning on Kaioshin.He nodded,looking both amazed and happy.He tried to think positive.There was a lot going for them.
"The hardest materiel in the universe!"he shouted ecstatically,holding up his hand.A giant solid block of black color appeared above Kaioshin's hand,and he threw it at light speed towards Gohan.
"But!"Gohan yelled,but he didnt have time to say anymore.He swung his sword round and it hit the materiel.It didnt even scratch,and instead shot through the air and slid along the fine grass and off the cliff.The sword then broke into two peices.The long end fell and Gohan jumped back to avoid it as it sank into the ground.The edge shone and light burst out of the diamond stud.
Kibito,unable to control his anger,shouted out,"No!Foolish Saiyan!"
Kaioshin turned round and faced Kibito,looking horrorstruck.His backfired plan had had a knock-on affect.He turned back to see the blunt end and the handle shimmering and floating in the air,and Gohan was watching with surpise.A white light blared and seered and then faded,and a thin, wrinkly, small, ugly, purple man.He hit the floor and then snapped up,looking at Gohan.
"Thanks!"he called,and he stood,still staring at Gohan.

Back on Earth, with the teleportation powers of Babidi he and Majin Buu had collected four dragonballs and were speeding onto their fifth.Babidi had little expected what was about to happen to him soon.

The defused Goten, Trunks, Chiaku and Brika where ordered off to sleep, even Brika.Next time they would get it right or they would all die, Piccolo told them, with little argument from anyone.
"What do we do?"Krillin asked Kami.
"Well"Kami replied,"If Babidi gets hold of all the dragonballs and wishes for immortality for himself and Majin Buu, everything will be over"
"But also if its a decoy, when we go down to fight he'll come and kill Trunks and the others"Piccolo said.
"Decisions you will have to make"Kami muttered gravely.
Piccolo thought hard, and stood up finally,"We are going to fight Buu, whether he likes it or not"
Yamcha, Krillin and Tien also stood up.
"Dad!"Karron called,running out,"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to have to go now,son.I'm going to fight Buu!"
"Daddy!"Marron called from inside the lookout.
"You guys go back inside, and stay safe.I'll be alright"he whispered.Karron nodded, and ran back to his mother and sister.Krillin stood."Well,come on"
"You'd better get inside too, old man, we dont want to lose the dragonballs"Piccolo said.
"Dont worry, as long as Dende is alive"
"I know, I know"
"Are you caring for my safety,Piccolo?"Kami asked, but Piccolo had blasted off.The others followed."Good luck"

The old man stood tall-well,not very,but he pushed himself to look so.He was wrinkly and very ugly,standing in front of Gohan his back to Kaioshin,Kibito and Goku.
The Sword is broken...thought Kibito, in despair, Majin Buu will devour all...
"Who..who is he?"Kaioshin asked,a look of puzzle on his face.Goku looked the same,but Kibito was angry.
"He broke the sword!A...commoner!"
"Quiet,you"the old man croaked,his weedy voice sounding very feeble,"I have a lot to thank this boy for!"
"Who are you?"Kibito snapped.
The old man looked highly offended,"How dare you speak to the grand kai of the universe!I am Dai Kaioshin!"he screeched.
"HE IS!"Kibito roared,pointing his arm at Kaioshin.
"Yes,that is true!"Kaioshin agreed,nodding.Does this man mean harm or good?And...now how do we train?
"Well then,I guess I musta been in that sword longer than I thought...ever heard of the dissapearing Kai?"he asked.
Kaioshin shook his head."Well,it was pretty long ago..."the old man continued,"But to the point I have been sealed up in that sword for a very long time.I recorded some crude writings, and by the looks of things its been around thirty thousand years"
"Thiry thousand years?!"Kaioshin cried,"Fifteen generations?!"
"So what happened to you?"Gohan asked.
"Well, back in the old days I was a superkai, a warrior that brought justice for all.Well, that didnt go down well with the evil people.So one day an evil sorcerer sealed me in the sword and implanted it in the ground"
"Fifteen...generations..."Goku whispered dumbly."Thats why you look so old and mouldy!"
The old man gave Goku a very angry look."Hey you stupid hippy,who do you think you are?I could flatten you in a second!"
"Wanna take me?"Goku suggested cockily.
"You cannot...say that...to a Kai!"Kaioshin muttered,but they both ignored him and squared up.Goku ran forward and with one punch the old Kai was skidding along the grass.
"Dad,you cant do that to a KAI!"Gohan whispered,while Kaoishin and Kibito helped him up.
"Lousy cheat!"The old Kai called,brushing himself.
"That was only a light one!Baby stuff!"Goku replied to Gohan.The three of them walked back.
There was a tense moment,ended by Kaioshin saying,"Well,now we have a problem"
"Whats that?"Gohan asked.
"Well,now we have no sword to train with...how are we going to defeat Majin Buu?"he asked dispiritedly.
"The sword?"the old kai asked,"It's an old antique"
"How..dare you..."Kibito whispered.
"Look, if you want it so bad"the old kai said,"Then you can have it"he held out his arm and the sword halves glowed blue and touched together, instantly being reconnected.
"You are strong, sir!Your presence is an honour"Kaioshin said, bowing.
"Did you fellas say Majin Buu?"the old Kai asked.
"Why, have you heard of him?"Goku asked.
"No I havent"he replied,"But it sounded better if I pretended I did.So, if you want my expertise help, just ask"
"Er, no thanks"Goku said,but Kaioshin cut across,"Venerable elder, we beg for you help"
"I think I can help..at a price!"he said,turning his back to him.
"How is that?"Gohan asked.
"Never you mind for now...I would like something...you know,like a prize for my trouble"
"I realeased you!"Gohan said.
"No need to push your luck!"the old man replied.Goku suddenly had an idea.
"Hey,old man!"he cried.The Old Kai,growing tired of this fool,walked over in annoyance,saying,"What?!"
"I have your prize,right here...are you...one for the ladies?"
Kibito was hovering dangerously nearby.
"Well,yeah,I kinda like a nice one..."he said,and Kibito walked off in anger and horror.
"Well,there is this BRILLIANT one on Earth,she is like a TEN!You get me?Aqua hair,aqau eyes...See here,you can have a kiss off this beauty if you train my son..." I knew he was a melt for ladies...he looks just like Roshi... Goku thought.
He smiled and went over Gohan who repeated his question.
"How will this help?"
"Its an old but very reliable training method...come with me"
"By the way,sir"Kaioshin said,"What is your name,venerable elder?"
"You can call me Rou Dai Kaioshin,or just Old Kai for short"he said,beaming,and leading Gohan to a spot on the hill.
"Stand here"he instructed.He started pacing around Gohan and then finally said,"I'm ready for the first part of your training...in total it will be twenty five hours"
"Twenty five hours?But we havnt got-"
"Dont question me!"he barked."Five hours of the dance,then twenty of the awakening...are you ready?"he asked.
"Y-y-yess...d-dance?"he mumbled,but Rou Dai had started dance,moving his arms up and down,and his legs up and down in time to some unknown beat,while singing,"Wake up sleepy-powers,wake up sleepy-powers,sleepy-powers,Sleepy,sleepy!"
Gohan thought it sounded very improvised,and very fake,but he remembered something from his childhood.
"You have much unawakened strength within you,Gohan my son" it was the Namek elder,speaking to him.Maybe this old Kai had some truth to him,after all.
Kibito and Goku had walked forward,Goku sitting up close under the shade of a tree,and something hit him.
"Hey,we cant see all the action!"he called.
"Here"said Kaioshin,creating a crystal ball out of thin air and placing it on the ground for all except the Old Kai to see.
Goku watched intently,Kibito hovered around feeling saddened by the whole affair and the Old Kai dreamed as he worked of finding the aqua-haired girl...
There was a flash an a buzzing noise, and Kaioshin's brother Kaioshi appeared in front of them.
"Brother!"Kaioshin cried,jumping up,"Welcome.I suppose you have come for Goku,now?"
"Come for...me?"Goku asked.
"Yes,Goku"Kaioshin said,turning back to him,"For your training begins now!"
"My training?Oh yeah!"
"Come on, Goku"Kaioshi said."Grab on.And be prepared"
"Prepared for what?"
"Surely not,not...there?!!"Kibito exclaimed.
"What,did some 'commoner' eat off the table rather than the floor?"the old Kai muttered with narrowed eyes.Kibito turned,scowling.
"The World of No return"Kaioshi said devilishly."Come,hold on"
Goku did so and dissapeared from veiw,but Kaioshi did not.
"Huh?Where did you go?"Kibito muttered.
"It is much slower there"Kaioshi replied."One day here is ten years there,but the person inside doesnt age more than twenty four hours"
"Well,why did you come back?"Kibito persisted.
"To tell you I will be leaving for a while.Come get me if I'm needed...I must train"
"Yes,brother"Kaioshin said,bowing,and watching Kaioshi dissapear again.

Goku and Kaioshi appeared in a barren land, desolate land.
"What....is this place?"Goku asked.
Goku and Kaioshi had arrived in somewhere that looked just the same as the place they were in before,except it was completely ash grey,the trees were gnarled and the river was black.The sky was blood red with black clouds billowing around.
"Huh?Train here?"Goku asked.
"No distractions...ten years for one day in our world"
"You expect me to come fight Majin Buu as an old geyser?!"Goku exclaimed.
"You will only age one day"Kaoishi explained,"However long you spend here.We have both already aged one day,but I will have not moved"
"Okay,dont confuse me"Goku told him warningly."No distractions?Just...forever...endless..."
"Did you notice anything else?"Kaioshi asked.
"Er...no..."Goku replied.
"The gravity is fifty times stronger than on Earth and our Kai planet"
"It...it is...?"he whispered.
"Your stronger than I thought"Kaioshi replied."I will be training here,too...but far,far away"
"Ahh,no distractions,eh?"Goku said.
Kaioshi smiled and dissapeared.
Goku stared back at the river,then over to a single tankard of water and a plate of glorious food.
Goku drank and ate,and the plate refilled itself.He did the same ten times until he was near full,turned and charged into his Super Saiyan 2 form.His increased power radiated around the place,and he sat down.There was little light from the dead, red sun, but much glowed from him.
"I must become what I was when the Cell Games were on...and unlimited Super Saiyan...then it should be easier..."he said,closing his eyes and bowing his head.
The wind did not rustle,the water did not move.There was complete silence.

Babidi and Majin Buu had reached the final dragonball.It was near the top of a gigantic, snow-capped mountain.
"There are so many blasted rocks"Babidi hissed,"It could be jammed anywhere"
Buu was already hard at work flipped over great boulders.
"That gives me an idea..."Babidi muttered,"Buu, blast these rocks away"
"Right"Buu said,nodding.He held his arms out, and an invisible wave of energy destroyed the rocks before him, and great clouds of dust blew off into the wind.The excess snow was stopped from crushing them in an avalanche by Majin Buu's Ki.
"There"Babidi said, pointing to a mound of snow.Buu jumped into the air and landed by the area Babidi had indicated to.
"Your right above it, Buu!Dig!"Babidi cried.
Buu's great hands shovelled away the snow, and Buu came across the final ball, glowing in his hands.
"Wow...its glowing..."Babidi murmured,"Bring it here, at once!"
Buu waddled forward, but a giant blast hit him, covering his whole body and throwing him back through the snow, melting it along the way.
The dragonball popped out of his hand and now into the snow-slush.
"Nooo!"Babidi screamed,"My dragonball!"
He turned to see the culprit, and found Piccolo standing with one foot on a high pinnacle of rock, his cloak waving behind him.
"You!Majunior, Piccolo, whatever your name is!Ohh,you'll pay!Buu, destroy him!"
Buu stumbled up, steam bursting from his airholes.He blasted forward to Piccolo but Piccolo moved and Buu crashed into the rock, making it explode all over him.Babidi stared tentatively at Buu, then ran for his dragonball.
But in his way was Yamcha, throwing it up and down.
"You little brat!I'm fed up of you insolent rats jumping up!"he shouted.He held out his hands and fired a black sludge at Yamcha which he dodged."Barapapara!"
He and Yamcha appeared on a sandy cliff in some desert area, the sun beating down on them.Babidi charged for Yamcha but Yamcha punched him in the face, sending him back into one of the cliffs.
"Come to me!"Babidi whispered, and the dragonball glowed black in Yamcha's hand, straining to get to Babidi.
"COME!!!"Babidi screamed, and the strain on the dragonball increased mightily.
"Well, okay"Yamcha said,letting go of it.The speeding ball ripped through Babidi's chest and through the cliff behind them.Such was the speed and the pressure of the dragonball that the top half of the cliff started to collapse, falling slowly towards the injured Babidi.
He turned weakly,"No..narghhhh!"he screeched as the cliff hit into the ledge he and Yamcha where on, crushing him and crumbling over him.
Yamcha jumped aside in time, even though it wouldnt have hurted him.The wind blew hard on his hair.
"Guys...I hope you can handle Majin Buu without me..."

Piccolo exchanged kicks and punches with Majin Buu, knowing in his present state he wouldnt be able to hold on much longer.He spun round and kicked Buu so that his face went further into the rock.He fired down a blast which dissolved Buu's head,but he easily regrew it.
He kneed Buu in the stomach and punched this side of the face and that, but Buu just blasted him back in the stomach.

"Piccolo's plan is quite an ingenious one"Tien commented,"But it is flawed.What if he is killed before we can get to him?"
Much higher above the Piccolo-Buu battleground Krillin and Tien stood on a cliff watching the namek fight.
"I dont know.I hope we can get down in time"Krillin replied gravely,"We just have to wait for the signal"
"When he takes off his weighed clothing,right"

Piccolo landed back on the ground and noticed Yamcha and Babidi werent there.
"Where are they?"he muttered.He thought of contacting them, but Buu appeared in front of him.
"Ha!"Piccolo cried, kicking Buu away.He stumbled back a few places and so Piccolo put his hands together and fired a large and powerful golden ball of energy which tore through Buu's stomach.Buu looked down at it and healed it,taking another step closer.Piccolo put his hands together and fired another large golden ball of energy which did the same thing.Buu put the other foot forward a step.Piccolo repeated his attack, knowing Majin Buu would reach him soon.
