[GOHAN screams]

[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z...

After stealing Gohan's energy

during the World Martial Arts Tournament,

Spopovich and Yamu rushed off to deliver the prize

to their master.

But they were followed.

[SPOPOVICH] We did it!

Babidi should be pleased.

[NARRATOR] Not being ones to back down from a challenge,

Goku and the rest of the Z-fighters

joined the Supreme Kai in pursuit of the thieves.

Although on the lookout for danger,

none of them were prepared for the surprise

that awaited them at Babidi's compound.

[KIBITO] It's Dabura!

What is he doing here?!

[NARRATOR] But the appearance of Dabura, King of the Demon World,

merely foreshadowed the horror to come!

[BABIDI] I have no more use for you!

[SPOPOVICH grunts, screams]

[BABIDI chuckles]

[SPOPOVICH grunting]

[YAMU screams]

[NARRATOR] With an army of ruthless minions

aiding him in his quest,

Babidi's dreams of releasing Majin Buu upon the Earth

may actually be fulfilled.

But it seems the wizard has failed to consider the arrival

of some unexpected guests,

determined to thwart his doomsday plot... or has he?

Find out today, on Dragon Ball Z!

[chuckles] Wonderful, don't you think?

Seeing those faces contort in horror like that?

It pleases me to no end how easily humans are frightened.

[DABURA chuckles] And they were but two!

There are millions left to torment...

[BABIDI] I'm so excited!

[BABIDI laughs]

This is bad...

They kill their own men.

[KRILLIN whimpers]

[KIBITO] That's the cruel game Babidi plays.

He seeks out only the most powerful fighters...

He uses his magic to bring them under his complete control,

and when he has no more use for them...

...he disposes of them as though they were diseased animals.

If he frees Majin Buu...

he will destroy all life on Earth

just as he has destroyed Spopovitch and Yamu.

That is Babidi's evil wish.

Oh, there's something else.

Yes?

It would seem we have some company...

Yamu and Spopovitch were a bit careless in their escape,

I'm afraid.

[grunts]

Above us on that cliff face you will find Supreme Kai,

and several of his friends...

Huh?!

[chuckles] The fools believe they're well hidden.

Seven in all.

Each of them strong...

We cannot use the energy of the Supreme Kai or Kibito.

But three of these others

possess enormous energy as well.

It will go a long way toward reviving Majin Buu.

[BABIDI] More than that, Dabura.

In these three alone, we will find more than enough energy

to suit our purposes. How marvelous!

[BABIDI chuckles]

I never imagined we would accomplish our goal so quickly.

Let's lure those three into the ship

where we can absorb their energy...

That would be the simplest course of action,

don't you think?

Yes...

But the Supreme Kai will surely try to prevent it.

Oh, I think we can manage to get around that little problem.

Dispose of the stragglers and get back to the ship at once.

The others will come storming after you in a rage.

Very nice.

I need but a moment, and you will have them.

Good, good.

But spare the Supreme Kai for now.

For what he did to my father,

I will take my own sweet time with his destruction...

At your request, Master.

I will leave him for your pleasure.

Shall we get to work, then?

[DABURA] Certainly.

But! Master Babidi, what about me?!

Pui Pui, Dabura will not be needing any help.

So why don't you come with me? You can fight at Stage One.

All right!

Hey, look. Why is Dabura just standing outside by himself?

Now... let's begin.

[gasps]

[chuckles]

He knows that we're here!

[DABURA grunts, growls]

[KIBITO gasps]

[KIBITO whimpers]

[yells]

[KIBITO screams]

--Kibito! --Kibito!

[KRILLIN whimpers]

[gasping]

[DABURA laughs]

[grunts] You...

[VEGETA growls]

[DABURA grunting]

[DABURA grunts, chuckles]

[DABURA] Hmm... Mm...

[KRILLIN whimpers]

[DABURA] Hmm!

[SUPREME KAI gasps]

[DABURA] Phuu!

[SUPREME KAI] Look out!

[KRILLIN gasps]

Oh no! I should've warned them!

--[GOKU gasps] --[PICCOLO] Krillin!

[DABURA] Hmm...

[KRILLIN] Augh... Yew... Disgusting!

You're mine! [roars]

--[DABURA] Phuu! --[PICCOLO gasps]

[SUPREME KAI gasps]

[PICCOLO whimpers]

[GOKU gasps]

[KRILLIN screams]

[SUPREME KAI gasps]

No, Krillin!

[KRILLIN screams]

[VEGETA gasps]

[PICCOLO gasps, grunts]

[GOKU] Guys, hold on!

[GOKU] Piccolo!

What's happening to them?!

Turned... to stone...

Huh?!

It's one of Dabura's powers...

Anything he spits on turns to stone!

No, Piccolo...

[SUPREME KAI] We can do nothing for them now.

--[GOKU] No! --[SUPREME KAI] Wait!

Goku! Don't touch him!

[GOKU] Why not?!

If we touch either of them now they might break...

and then there's no possible way to put them back together!

But... Piccolo...

[growls]

[DABURA laughs]

Nooo!

[laughs] I leave you one chance to run!

Take it! Unless you'd rather end up like your friends...

[GOHAN growls]

[VEGETA growls]

[CROWD yelling]

[ANNOUNCER] Ladies-Ladies and gentlemen...

Please, please, people, could you all just calm down!

[CROWD yelling]

Until the folks down here can figure out what's going on,

we'll just take a short intermission.

C'mon! Move it!

Hey, ref! Get a job!

[CROWD yelling, shouting]

[GOTEN] Hey, Trunks,

what's that announcer guy mean by intermission?

He's saying he's got to stop the match now,

cause Gohan got his butt kicked by those two guys.

[GOTEN] You can't blame this on my brother!

Hello? The tournament stopped after he got attacked,

didn't it?

[GOTEN] Stop talking bad about my brother!

[TRUNKS grunts]

[BOTH yell]

[CROWD gasping]

[TRUNKS, GOTEN groan]

[FRIAR 1 gasps] Uh, Mr. Mighty Mask...

are you okay, sir?

[TRUNKS groans]

[FRIAR 1] Is there anything I can do for you?

No, I-I'm just fine, I just slipped...

[chuckles, grunts]

--[GOTEN grunts] --[TRUNKS] Stand up straight!

--[GOTEN] Oh, I'm so dizzy. --[TRUNKS grunts]

I guess the pressure's getting to him...

[GOKU gasps]

Oh, Krillin...

What're we gonna do?

[VEGETA growls]

Hey, Supreme Kai!

You said if we break them we can't put them back together.

Does that mean there's a way to get my friends back to normal?

[SUPREME KAI] Yes... there's a way.

They'll return to normal only if we defeat Dabura.

[sighs]

Is that all? Good, then it'll be easy.

We'll have 'em back in no time.

[SUPREME KAI gasps]

Let's do it, Dad. You and me together.

I think it's time we showed 'em who they're dealing with!

What're we waiting for?!

Let's go!

[SUPREME KAI gasps] Wait, Goku...

You'll fall right into their trap!

[GOHAN] Huh?

They're counting on the fact that you'll charge

into their spaceship to stop them!

It's safer for all of us if you just wait out here.

[GOKU] I'm sorry,

but I just can't leave my friends like that.

[GOHAN] Watch over everyone for us!

[SUPREME KAI] W-Wait!

[VEGETA] Sorry...

But patience has never been our strongest virtue.

[gasps]

[sighs]

Ah, they're all fools.

Okay, let's go.

Right.

[chuckles] Ahh, here they come!

I'd be shocked if any one of them had a brain.

--[BABIDI giggles] --[DABURA laughs]

[DABURA] Trapped so easily...

[GOKU] Huh?

[GOHAN] This place doesn't look much like a spaceship.

[VEGETA] Hmph.

Hey, there's nobody here...

I thought they'd be waiting for a fight.

Hey, that looks like a door over there...

Think we should try and bust it down?

Uh...? Yeah.

[lauhgs] So, you couldn't resist

the draw of a good fight after all, huh?

You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into.

Huh...?

[GOKU] Huh?!

[SUPREME KAI] Once inside this ship, there's no way out.

[GOHAN] What?!

[SUPREME KAI] Our only hope of escape now is to destroy Babidi.

Uh... well... that is what we came to do...

...isn't it?

[SUPREME KAI growls]

[VEGETA] Hmph.

I'll solve all our problems and blow this place into oblivion.

No, you won't!

The sudden shock could accidentally set Majin Buu free!

[VEGETA] Hmm.

The degree to which you've underestimated him

is astounding... Don't you understand?

Even at a fraction of his full power,,

Majin Buu could annihilate this entire planet

and all of its inhabitants in an instant!

He can't be stopped!

[growls] Hmph.

So, they've brought the Supreme Kai with them...

How wonderful!

[laughs]

I thought there would actually be a fight in this place.

Master Babidi... Has the time come?

[BABIDI] Oh... My dear Pui Pui.

Please... I'm becoming quite anxious.

Then... let's put that to good use...

Go see our guests and don't leave a drop

of their energy behind.

Yes... Not a drop!

[sighs]

Look at me... I almost forgot...

I should inject this energy before it loses its purity.

[BABIDI] Come with me, Dabura.

I think we know how this fight will turn out.

[DABURA] Yes, Sir!

[BABIDI] Mm...

[DABURA] Hmm...

[BABIDI laughs]

[gasps]

[GOHAN] Hm?

[SUPREME KAI gasps]

[PUI PUI laughs] Welcome, fellow warriors.

You've arrived at Stage One.

S'bout time someone showed up.

[GOKU] So, what's "Stage One"?

[PUI PUI] Master Babidi is at the bottom level of this ship.

We are currently on the top level, also known as Stage One.

And there's no way of getting down to him

unless you beat the warrior that appears at each stage.

You need not concern yourselves with getting to Stage Two...

Because, unfortunately for you, the first warrior you must face

is none other than me.

And that means that none of you will make it out of here alive!

[laughs]

[chuckles] All right, guys,

so which one of us gets to fight first?

Huh?!

[BABIDI] Mm...

[DABURA chuckles]

[BABIDI] Huh?! What?

Half full?

We already have half the energy we need...

Amazing. All of that from just one shot.

Impossible.

[BABIDI] Hmm...

And I'm wondering, from how many hundreds of people

did Yamu and Spopovich gather all this?

Well... it's too late to ask them now.

Right.

But if they gathered this from hundreds of people

in such a short amount of time...

...maybe I shouldn't have destroyed them.

No. You made the right choice.

The energy we gather from those three fighters

in Stage One will be enough to bring the gauge up to full.

It's possible that our opportunity to resurrect

Majin Buu will come today.

[laughs] Then we could mark today

as the beginning of the end!

You know... I've waited so long for this,

it's hard for me to believe that it's actually happening.

Let's see how Pui Pui is doing.

Show me Stage One.

[BABIDI] What? They haven't started fighting yet?!

[GOKU, GOHAN, VEGETA] One, two, three!

One, two, three! One, two, three! One, two, three!

[BABIDI] Huh...? What?

What in the world are they doing?!

...three! One...

...two...

...three! One, two, three!

[chuckles] Scissors win.

Aww... I wanted to fight this guy...

Well. Sorry you won't get your chance.

[SUPREME KAI] Wait, please!

You don't really intend to fight him by yourself, do you?!

Of course I do! What other way is there?

[SUPREME KAI gasps]

[chuckles] Master Babidi told me to be very careful

because your high energy makes you strong and dangerous.

But you're nothing but a bunch of morons!

The only moron in this place is Babidi.

He didn't investigate this planet

very thoroughly, did he?

If he had, he'd know that the most powerful fighter alive

is standing in front of you...

[PUI PUI] You? The most powerful fighter alive?

[laughs]

[PUI PUI] That kind of arrogance will get you killed!

[PUI PUI chuckles]

[SUPREME KAI] Huh?

[GOKU] Uh?

Don't underestimate him!

Babidi uses his magic to attract the strongest warriors

in the universe!

Hey, calm down.

Let's just let Vegeta take it from here.

Okay?

Are you sure?

You know, none of you will ever leave here...

And every ounce of energy you lose as I pound you

will be absorbed by this room.

And as the energy is absorbed

it will be channeled directly to Majin Buu.

Well, I guess that's unfortunate then.

Since you won't be able to hurt me,

you won't be able to steal my energy.

[PUI PUI] Keep dreaming!

Before I'm done, I'll do much more than hurt you.

When you fight Pui Pui, death is a certainty.

[PUI PUI laughs]

[growls] This guy is really annoying.

Welcome to the end of your life.

And I promise it's going to hurt.

[PUI PUI growls]

Ready for the pain?

The fool has no idea what he's up against.

[BABIDI chuckles]

[SUPREME KAI whimpers]

Vegeta...

[VEGETA chuckles]

[PUI PUI growls]

[PUI PUI yells]

[NARRATOR] The fight at Stage One has begun!

Vegeta has the confidence but does he have the power

to survive the battle with Babidi's crony Pui Pui?

FInd out next time on Dragon Ball Z!
