While Son Goku and Vegeta were dueling, Son Goten and the others also arrived in front of the final boss, Babidi.
"Heh heh heh, Buu will be out soon, and he'll be full of energy," Babidi said with a smug grin on his leering, wrinkled face.
"If we defeat you, we can stop that," Supreme Kai said, watching Babidi intently.
"Bababooey!"
Babidi used magic to transport everyone in the control room, including the egg containing Majin Buu, outside.
"So, Dabura, are you confident you can defeat that Earthling?" Babidi asked Dabura, looking at Son Gohan with a mocking expression.
A sneer tugged at Dabura's lips. "Of course. I've already fought him. I could take care of that weakling in an instant."
"Tuan."
"There's no need for you anymore," Son Goten said coldly, transforming into a Super Saiyan and aiming both hands at Majin Buu's egg.
Babidi was shocked. "What are you doing?"
"Ha!" A yellow beam of energy shot from Son Goten's hands and slammed into Majin Buu's egg. With a deafening "BOOM," the earth-shaking blast echoed across the land as a huge mushroom cloud slowly rose into the sky.
To avoid being caught in the blast, everyone immediately used the Flight Technique to get away.
"Damn it, Goten! You could've warned us before unleashing a huge attack!" Trunks complained, standing in midair.
"..." Son Goten.
As the black smoke cleared, cracks gradually appeared across Majin Buu's egg, and pink smoke began spurting from them.
"Ha ha ha! Majin Buu is coming out!" Babidi cackled wildly.
The egg cracked open completely. But there wasn't a single hair inside.
Babidi: ...
Dabura: ...
Supreme Kai: ...
Son Gohan: ...
Trunks stared into the egg in confusion. "Huh? Weren't we told there was some Buu guy in there? Where is he?"
Damn it, Lord Buu, where are you? Come out and say something! Babidi's laughter abruptly stopped. I went to all that trouble to gather so much energy for you. Where the hell did you go?
"Ha ha ha! Babidi, I guess Majin Buu must have died after being sealed away in there for so many years!" Supreme Kai said with a triumphant laugh. The Majin Buu who had once terrified him had failed to appear. (Supreme Kai: Terrified? What are you talking about? I'm Supreme Kai!)
"Right, Gohan?" Supreme Kai turned to Son Gohan with a laugh, only to find him and the other two staring solemnly above the egg.
Elsewhere, Son Goku and Vegeta were still fighting.
"Vegeta, wait!" Son Goku seemed to sense something. He stopped and looked gravely toward where Son Goten and the others were. "There's a powerful ki over there."
"What?" Vegeta knitted his brows. He could sense that ki, too.
"Supreme Kai, it's possible Majin Buu hasn't disappeared after all," Son Gohan said seriously.
"What?" Supreme Kai and Babidi exclaimed in shock, following Son Gohan's gaze toward the egg. The pink smoke leaking from it hadn't dissipated.
The pink smoke swirled together, making a continuous "gurgle, gurgle" sound. It turned into a thick, tangible liquid, like modeling clay, and finally took the shape of a person.
The figure was a fat man. His tiny black vest could hardly cover his portly body, and he wore white pants with a belt bearing the letter "M." His pinkish-purple cape fluttered in the wind. He wore a pair of yellow gloves, and a tentacle-like appendage protruded from the top of his head. A row of tiny holes ran along the side of his head beneath the appendage. He squinted with a little smile.
"Buu, are you really Buu?" Babidi asked eagerly.
"Who are you? Do you have anything to eat? I want chocolate," Buu said, tilting his head like a child asking for candy.
"Um, I have some chocolate. Do you want it?" Son Goten asked, taking a few unopened bars from his pocket. (Damn, where did you get those?)
"Sure! You're a good person!" Buu happily took the chocolate from Son Goten and gave him a good-person card.
Son Goten's mouth twitched. Did I just get a good-person card? At least it wasn't from a girl.
Everyone stared in disbelief as Buu blissfully ate his chocolate.
"Buu, stop eating! Hurry up and kill those guys!" Babidi shouted, pointing at Son Goten and the three behind him.
Buu looked at Babidi, then at Son Goten, whom Babidi had pointed to, and flatly refused. "No."
Babidi was furious. I'm the one who let you out! How can you take their side? A few pieces of chocolate and you're already bought off!
Son Goten secretly wiped away his sweat. Good thing I remember how this went in the original story. Fat Buu inherited the Grand Supreme Kai's kindness when he absorbed him. I just have to coax him like a little kid.
"Hey, Buu! If you don't go, I'll seal you away again!" Babidi threatened in exasperation.
"BOOM!"
"Shut up," Son Goten said coldly, staring at Babidi. A huge crater in front of Babidi was still billowing black smoke.
Babidi broke into a cold sweat, but he didn't dare actually seal Majin Buu away. No matter how strong Dabura was, Son Gohan and Son Goten together could beat the crap out of him. As for Babidi himself, Supreme Kai could kill him instantly. His magic was powerful, but his actual fighting ability was probably worse than an ordinary Earthling's.
"Buu, want some candy? Let's ignore those two idiots," Son Goten said, taking a few more pieces of candy from his pocket and tempting him.
Everyone was stunned. Damn, Buu, you're actually going with him?
Babidi's heart broke. Come back, my Buu! Don't go with that creepy old man!
