Chapter 50 - Chapter 50: Dabura: I Really Ought to Thank You!

As the door to the first floor slid open, an alien named Pui Pui stepped out, his face brimming with overconfidence.

"So, you're my opponents? You don't look like much. Remember, the one who kills you is the great Lord Pui Pui!"

Turles and the others were momentarily speechless. Seriously? A small-time minion like you is this cocky?

Turles glanced at Goku, Vegeta, and the others. "Who's taking this one?"

The Saiyans exchanged looks, each seeing nothing but pure lack of interest in the others' eyes.

Piccolo let out a helpless sigh and stepped forward. "In that case, leave it to me."

"What? You're going in alone?!" Supreme Kai stared at Piccolo in shock.

This even left Piccolo a bit exasperated. "Seriously? For a guy this weak, you actually want us to gang up on him?"

"Interesting. So you're my opponent?" Pui Pui sneered.

Before he could finish, Piccolo's figure vanished.

"What?" Pui Pui's pupils contracted violently.

Boom!

In the next instant, Pui Pui was slammed hard against the wall of the spaceship. It had to be said, the quality of Babidi's ship was impressive—it didn't even crack.

Cough! Hack!

Pui Pui scrambled up, looking at Piccolo in shock. Piccolo followed up with a flying kick, sending him hurtling again.

As Pui Pui tried to stabilize himself, he realized Piccolo had vanished once more.

"Where are you looking? I'm behind you."

Watching Piccolo toy with the alien as if he were a child, the Supreme Kai grew even more bewildered.

Babidi, watching the one-sided beatdown from his monitor, couldn't take it anymore. "Hey, Dabura! Where can Pui Pui fight at his full potential?"

Dabura thought for a moment. "That would be a planet with high gravity. Like his home, Planet Zoon."

"I see."

Babidi began chanting a spell. Instantly, the environment of the first floor warped and changed.

"Interesting. A high-gravity planet? But isn't the gravity a bit... low?" Piccolo mused.

Pui Pui stood up, looking more arrogant than ever.

"Hahahaha! This is the planet where I grew up! The gravity here is ten times that of Earth! Now, it's time for my counterattack!"

"Only ten times? No wonder I didn't feel a thing. I'm bored of playing anyway. Die."

Piccolo appeared instantly in front of Pui Pui. A single Ki Blast at point-blank range sent the alien straight to the afterlife.

As the door to the second floor opened, Turles didn't wait. He simply fired a concentrated beam that punched straight through the floors of the spaceship.

"What are you doing?! You'll wake Majin Buu!" Shin cried out in a panic.

Turles scoffed. "I have zero interest in playing games with fodder."

Vegeta nodded in agreement. Entering the first floor had just been to see what kind of "quality" the opponents were. Since they were all trash, there was no point in taking the stairs; they might as well go straight for the heart.

"What?!"

Inside the control room, Babidi and Dabura were startled by Turles' bluntness.

Before they could even react, Turles and the others had already materialized in front of them.

"Babidi, give yourself up! Your scheme ends here!" the Supreme Kai shouted from behind Turles.

"Hmph, you again, Supreme Kai! And you meddlesome lot!"

Babidi opened his mouth to recite a spell, but a figure appeared before him in a blur. A bright light flashed against the wizard's chest.

Boom!

In the next heartbeat, Babidi was blown to pieces.

The entire sequence happened in the blink of an eye. By the time Dabura realized what was happening, his master was already dead.

The Supreme Kai was paralyzed with shock. "This... is..."

"ARGHH!!"

Suddenly, Dabura let out a piercing scream. The 'M' symbol on his forehead began to fade slowly, causing him immense agony as the mind control broke.

A second Ki Blast swallowed Dabura whole, ending his pain and sending him to his grave.

"Since you were in so much pain, I figured I'd do you a favor."

Watching Turles casually dispose of Dabura, Goku and the others were left speechless. It looked like they would have to wait for Majin Buu to see any real action.

Vegeta narrowed his eyes at the large, ornate egg in the center of the room. "So, Majin Buu is inside this thing?"

Supreme Kai nodded instinctively. "Yes... that is the sealed ball containing Majin Buu."

"Is that so?"

Vegeta's smirk widened. Without another word, he fired a Ki Blast directly at the egg.

BOOM!

The impact sent the egg flying, and the Supreme Kai nearly fainted from terror.

"You... you just...!"

Clatter!

The egg rolled across the floor and came to a stop.

Crack!

The shell split in two, and a thick, purple vapor began to pour out.

"It's... it's empty?! Did Majin Buu die inside?!" Shin's face lit up with hope.

But he quickly noticed that Goku and the others were all looking up.

Following their gaze, the Supreme Kai saw the purple smoke coalescing in the air, gradually forming a humanoid shape.

What emerged was Fat Buu—pale pink skin, a small vest, and baggy white pants.

"Buu!"

Bursting with the joy of his new life, steam whistled out of the vents on his head. He didn't seem to care about Turles or Goku at all, instead bouncing around and playing in the corner.

"This... this is it...?"

Seeing that figure, the Supreme Kai's knees buckled. Cold sweat drenched his forehead.

Goku looked at Majin Buu with a hint of disappointment and turned to the deity. "Lord Supreme Kai, is this guy really Majin Buu?"

"There's no mistake. That's him... I'll never forget that demonic face as long as I live..."

"I see. Well, he looks a bit weak, but he'll do for a warm-up!"

"Hey, Vegeta! It should be my turn to go first!"

"Dad, I want to try too..." Gohan chimed in, joining the excitement.

"I'm the one who spoke first," Vegeta snapped.

"Don't be like that, Vegeta. How about we settle it with Rock-Paper-Scissors?"

"Fine! Rock! Paper! Scissors!"

Watching the three of them play Rock-Paper-Scissors, the Supreme Kai's eye twitched. Seriously? This is Majin Buu, the most terrifying demon in the universe! Can you guys show a little tension? Why does this feel like a group picnic?!

"Um... Excuse me, Mr. Goku, Mr. Vegeta, Mr. Gohan... maybe you should just all attack him together?" Shin suggested, wiping sweat from his brow.

The three ignored him completely.

"Hahaha! Kakarot, in the end, I'm the one going first! Just stay back and watch. I'm going to end this farce right now!"

Vegeta flew toward Majin Buu, his face lit with excitement.

"What a bummer. Vegeta got the first crack at him," Goku sighed, looking at Majin Buu like a child who had lost his favorite toy.

With Vegeta's current strength, defeating Majin Buu shouldn't be an issue at all.

"Well, Uncle Vegeta's luck was just better. But I'm really curious to see just how strong he's become," Gohan added.

By now, Vegeta was standing right in front of Majin Buu.
