After blocking Baby's energy blast, Tights asked Gogeta, "What was that just now? And where did that planet come from?"

"It's just an old enemy of a Saiyan coming for revenge. Don't worry about it."

Gogeta gave a simple explanation.

"Should we go take a look?"

"Of course! This is great material!"

Tights answered without hesitation.

"Then let's go. If we're late, we won't get to see anything."

Gogeta took Tights's hand and used Instant Transmission to arrive at the place where Goku and Baby were fighting.

By then, a light rain had begun to fall. Gogeta and Tights took shelter in the tower where Bulma was. Bulma had just fired an enhancement ray at Baby when Gogeta entered with Tights.

"Bulma? What are you doing?"

Tights saw Bulma muttering something at the screen and asked.

When Bulma turned around, she saw the sister she had long lost contact with standing before her. She was overwhelmed with emotion, but when she noticed Gogeta standing beside Tights, her expression darkened.

"A Saiyan? All Saiyans should die!!"

Bulma thought her sister had brought a Saiyan to stop her. She turned to run, but how could Gogeta possibly let her escape?

Gogeta raised his hand and fired a small sphere of light, which instantly entered Bulma's body. She let out a pained scream as red smoke rose from her body, and Gogeta effortlessly removed the living egg Baby had planted within her.

"Huh?"

Bulma regained her senses and looked around in confusion. When she saw her sister Tights and Gogeta, the surprise came too suddenly. She had always believed her sister had died in space, never expecting to see her again.

Bulma happily rushed over and hugged her sister.

Tights gently patted Bulma's back. She knew that the version of herself in this world had long since died; the look in Bulma's eyes explained everything.

Back on the battlefield, Baby was fully revived under the illumination of the Blutz Waves. He rose to his feet, feeling the power filling his body, and laughed triumphantly.

"Ha ha ha!"

"Wonderful! This is absolutely wonderful!"

"Yaaah!!!"

Baby erupted with a powerful aura that scattered even the dark clouds overhead. Trunks, who had been saved by Kibito Kai using Ultra Divine Water, was also forced back by that overwhelming energy.

Kibito Kai, who was rushing to save the others, also sensed that something was wrong. Baby had awakened so quickly; he had been too slow.

"Ha ha ha~"

Baby laughed maniacally.

"Aren't you getting a little too full of yourself?"

Super Saiyan 4 Goku sat on a rock, watching Baby.

"Hey, you took way too long!!"

"I was getting tired of waiting."

Baby was somewhat surprised.

"You still have the energy to talk?"

Super Saiyan 4 Goku jumped down from the rock and said to Baby, "I took the chance to rest while you were down. I still want to properly enjoy this battle—otherwise, there'd be no point in becoming Super Saiyan 4."

Though Super Saiyan 4 Goku said that, he was only putting on a brave front. By then, he was already at the end of his rope.

It was unclear whether Baby had seen through him.

Baby replied, "Is that so? Then I'm truly sorry. Now, let's have a good fight!"

"Until you die!!"

Baby cracked his fingers with a series of popping sounds.

Over in the Supreme Kai World, Sugoro said happily, "As expected of Goku! It looks like he still has a great chance of defeating Baby! Right, Old Supreme Kai?"

Old Supreme Kai's expression was grave as he slowly spoke, "You're wrong. Goku is only putting on a brave front."

"He has almost no strength left. He took a direct hit from Baby and then fired a 10x Kamehameha. There's barely any power remaining in him."

Old Supreme Kai truly had a discerning eye; his words hit the nail on the head.

"How could this be!?"

Sugoro and his son were both shocked.

On the battlefield, Baby threw a punch at Super Saiyan 4 Goku. Super Saiyan 4 Goku vanished into the air. Baby clenched his fist and said, "I was too childish just now. I didn't get things straight, but this time, I'll kill you."

Super Saiyan 4 Goku mocked, "Since you're called Baby, of course all you know is how to throw childish tantrums."

But Super Saiyan 4 Goku thought to himself, This time, I might really die at Baby's hands. There's no energy left in my body, and my arms and legs won't listen to me at all!!

"Let's have a real fight!"

"I'll show you just how strong Super Saiyan 4 really is!"

Baby roared, and a terrifying aura burst from his body. Super Saiyan 4 Goku was blown away, rolling across the ground several times before getting back to his feet.

"Aren't you going to attack? If you won't come over here, then I'm coming to you!"

Seeing that Super Saiyan 4 Goku had yet to attack, Baby began to grow suspicious. He immediately threw a punch. Super Saiyan 4 Goku no longer had the strength to dodge and was smashed into a boulder behind him, his body blasting through it before crashing hard into a distant building.

"Could it be? This guy...?"

Baby opened his mouth and fired an energy blast, striking Super Saiyan 4 Goku instantly. Baby fired repeatedly, and Super Saiyan 4 Goku cried out in pain again and again before being blasted away and collapsing on the ground in the distance.

Super Saiyan 4 Goku lay on the ground, gasping heavily.

"Ha ha ha!!"

"Son Goku, I knew you were just putting on an act!"

"You don't have any strength left now—"

Baby was ecstatic. He raised his enormous arm and smashed it toward Super Saiyan 4 Goku. Super Saiyan 4 Goku rolled aside to evade it, but Baby's attack came down again. This time, he could not dodge. Super Saiyan 4 Goku was struck by Baby's fist and screamed, "Ah!!"

Baby crouched down and pounded Super Saiyan 4 Goku on the ground with both fists, accompanied by Goku's repeated screams.

Baby raised his arm high, about to deliver the fatal blow to Super Saiyan 4 Goku.

Suddenly, Pan appeared before Baby and blocked him. Pan said a bunch of heartfelt words, then gathered energy in her hand and rapidly blasted Baby in the face.

However, it was useless. Super Saiyan 4 Goku desperately thanked Pan and told her to leave.

Baby slapped Pan to the ground and slowly approached her. Super Saiyan 4 Goku shouted, "Baby! If you take one more step toward Pan, I'll use 10x Kamehameha to destroy you!"

Super Saiyan 4 Goku assumed the Kamehameha stance.

Baby laughed mockingly, "Ha ha ha! You don't even have the strength to stand up now. How could you possibly use 10x Kamehameha to destroy me?"

Baby continued toward Pan and raised his foot. Just as he was about to crush Pan to death, Super Saiyan 4 Goku could no longer hold back and shouted, "10x Kamehameha!!"

An energy wave flew out from behind Super Saiyan 4 Goku and blasted Baby to the ground.

The newcomer was none other than Trunks.

Baby looked up and saw that it was Trunks. With a cold sneer, he said, "Trunks, if you had obediently served as my subordinate, you could have stayed alive. Why did you come here seeking death?"

Trunks said angrily, "Rather than live on in misery under your control, I'd rather die!!"

Then he transformed into a Super Saiyan and charged at Baby. Even Super Saiyan 4 Goku could not stop him.

Trunks rushed up to Baby's face and unleashed a flurry of punches at Baby's nose, then followed with an uppercut to Baby's chin.

Baby slightly raised his head and sneered, "You're far too weak. Your father's body is crying out!"

Then he slammed his chin down forcefully. Trunks instantly fell to the ground, and Baby stomped on him, making Trunks cry out in pain repeatedly.
