The Matter is Settled

"At last, it was over!"

Supreme Kai Shin lowered his arm and muttered to himself. Babidi, the great enemy who had plagued his mind for so long, had finally been eliminated.

"That's great, Supreme Kai! We finally got rid of Babidi!"

Kibito rushed to Supreme Kai Shin's side and shouted excitedly.

The two were just short of holding hands and dancing.

Supreme Kai Shin walked up to Gohan and solemnly thanked him.

"Thank you very much for your help, Gohan."

"If it hadn't been for you, Dabura would not have been an opponent we could handle. Kibito and I might have died at his hands."

"You're welcome. Even without Supreme Kai, I would have wiped all of them out. I absolutely won't allow anyone to cause destruction on Earth."

At the mention of Earth, Gohan clenched his fists, his gaze sharp. He would not allow the tragedy of the future world to play out here.

"All that's left is the egg sealing Majin Buu."

Supreme Kai Shin looked toward the spaceship protruding from the ground.

The seven split into six groups and entered the spaceship to search.

Gohan held Videl's hand as they moved through the spaceship, while the others searched separately.

"Babidi's spaceship is really huge. It has so many levels."

Videl was still stunned by Gohan's strength. She had originally thought that being able to withstand bullets and rockets with his body was already incredibly powerful. Later, when he taught her an energy wave, Gohan's strength rose another level in her mind, but it still had not reached an absurd point. She could still accept it.

But the power Gohan displayed this time had completely exceeded her understanding. Her head was spinning as Gohan led her along by the hand.

"Gohan, who exactly are you?"

Videl tugged on Gohan's clothes and asked the question in her heart.

"Well... I'll tell you slowly after we get home. It'll be a long story. Are you willing to listen?"

Gohan held Videl's hand as he spoke.

"Of course. I want to know about Gohan's past."

Videl clasped Gohan's hand in return.

The atmosphere was incredibly sweet.

"Hey! I found it!"

Goten's voice came from below.

"Majin Buu is here! And it's glowing!"

Everyone arrived at Goten's location. Goten pointed excitedly at the glowing giant egg.

"How amazing!"

Trunks stepped forward and touched the eggshell. Uh, it was a little hard. It felt completely different from Buu, and Trunks looked somewhat disgusted.

Supreme Kai Shin, meanwhile, was checking Buu's energy levels. The gauge was already full!!

It turned out that before Babidi died, he had used his life as the price to cast a spell, pouring all the energy of the dead into the egg. The energy needed to revive Majin Buu had instantly been filled.

Supreme Kai Shin was terrified and ran over to Gohan.

"Gohan, are you sure you can defeat Majin Buu?"

Although he now knew there was a Majin Buu on Earth, and Gohan had personally said that he could defeat Majin Buu, the image Majin Buu had left in Supreme Kai Shin's mind was simply too horrifying. He still could not be sure whether Gohan could win.

Although Gohan had just eliminated Dabura, Majin Buu could also easily kill Dabura. He could not determine who was stronger, Majin Buu or Gohan.

"Don't worry, Supreme Kai. There won't be a problem."

Gohan reassured Supreme Kai Shin and told him to relax.

Ssssh—

The egg split in half, and pink gas burst out from within. After a while, the gas inside had all poured out, and the eggshell fell to the ground as well.

Supreme Kai Shin thought Majin Buu had not revived and was just about to cheer when he saw the pink cloud in the sky slowly contract, shrinking bit by bit until it finally took on a chubby form.

Looking at that harmless face, Supreme Kai Shin was too frightened to speak, his body trembling slightly.

Gohan naturally noticed Supreme Kai Shin's reaction. Sigh, as the mighty Supreme Kai, he's really disgracing the gods.

"It really is Buu!"

The three kids were far too familiar with Majin Buu. They immediately rushed over and clung to him.

"Who are you?"

The moment Buu woke up, he saw three children hanging off him. He thought carefully for a moment. Hmm... he didn't know them.

"We're good friends!" ×3

"Good friends?"

"Can you eat them?"

At that moment, Buu was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper and had no idea what a friend was.

"!!"

Supreme Kai thought to himself, Oh no, something's going to—

Just as Supreme Kai was about to say that something bad was about to happen, he was dumbfounded the next second.

Trunks pulled a piece of chocolate from his pocket, handed it to Buu, and said, "This is food. We're good friends."

As he spoke, he motioned for Goten to explain as well.

"Yeah, yeah, good friends."

Goten put an arm around Trunks's shoulders and explained alongside him.

Buu took the chocolate, tossed it into his mouth without even removing the wrapper, chewed it, then spat it out.

"This doesn't taste good."

"Idiot, you have to take off the wrapper!"

Trunks pulled out another piece of chocolate, unwrapped it, and handed it to Buu.

Buu took it, sniffed it, and only then put it into his mouth.

"Mmm, tasty!"

Buu happily narrowed his eyes.

Supreme Kai's jaw nearly hit the floor. Was this really the Majin Buu he remembered?

That wasn't right, was it?

"Do you have any more?"

Majin Buu asked Trunks.

Trunks and Goten searched themselves for a long while before producing a single chocolate candy. Handing it to Buu, they said, "This is the only one left. The rest are at home."

"Mm-hmm."

Goten nodded.

"Let's go home. There's lots of delicious food there."

Ais chimed in as well, "Finally, we can play a five-player game!!"

"Yay!!"

The three of them cheered at the same time.

Then they took Buu by the hand and prepared to head home.

"Are Gohan and Videl, and those two weird uncles, coming too?"

Goten turned and asked the people behind them.

"No, Videl and I still have things to do, so we won't be going."

"Supreme Kai, are you coming?"

Gohan asked Supreme Kai.

"I want to take a look."

Supreme Kai was still worried. After thinking it over, he decided to follow them and see for himself.

"Then let's go."

Buu returned to West City with the three kids and the two Supreme Kais, while Gohan and Videl returned to the World Martial Arts Tournament arena. After everything that had happened, the strong contestants had either left or died, and in the end, Mr. Satan still won the championship.

Mr. Satan was being interviewed when he spotted Videl and Gohan. He abandoned the interview and ran over to them, asking worriedly, "Where did you two go? I've been looking everywhere for you!"

"That Spopovich bastard actually dared to beat Videl so badly. He'd better pray I never run into him, hmph!"

Only after seeing that Videl was safe and sound did Mr. Satan relax. Then he said to Gohan, "You'd better protect Videl for me. If Videl tells me you bullied her, I won't let you off!"

Gohan answered solemnly as well, "I'll definitely protect Videl. Please rest assured."

Only after hearing Gohan's serious tone did Mr. Satan feel at ease.

Mr. Satan waved them away, signaling for them to leave.

"You two go on with your date. I still have interviews to do."

Without waiting for either of them to respond, he went back to continue the interview.

Videl and Gohan exchanged a glance before leaving as well. They returned to Mount Paozu, where Gohan was going to tell Videl his story.
