[NARRATOR] Previously on Dragon Ball Z...

Vegeta made an explosive return to the Tournament Arena...

The hatred in his heart reawakened

by Babidi's magic, the Saiyan prince

had become a servant to the forces of evil.

[GOKU] Babidi! Transport us to a place away from these people!

If you give me that, then I will fight Vegeta!

[NARRATOR] Babidi willingly granted Goku's request,

and zapped the Z Fighters from the stadium floor.

Now, miles from civilization,

the two Super Saiyans are free to fight without restraint,

which is just what the wizard wants, for every blow

they land is a boost for Majin Buu!

Unless Gohan and the Supreme Kai act quickly,

Buu will soon have the energy he needs to emerge

from his cocoon!

[GOHAN thinking] I've never sensed anything like this.

So cold, and empty.

[BABIDI] Welcome, friends!

I'm glad you could join us!

[GOHAN breathes heavily]

[SUPREME KAI breathes heavily]

[BABIDI cackles]

[SUPREME KAI] Listen.

There is still time before Majin Buu reaches his full power.

We have to strike. Together, on my mark.

Hold nothing back, Gohan.

This creature must never see the light of day.

The fate of your world depends on it.

[GOHAN] I know.

[GOHAN, SUPREME KAI grunt]

Wait, Kai.

[gasps]

Let's take this outside.

It seems a bit cramped in here, doesn't it?

Yes, and when Buu wakes up, I have a feeling he'll agree.

He's sure to be restless.

I hate to think what would happen if we were trapped

with him in this cozy little place.

Wizard...

You need not worry what your monster will do to you.

Not when you still have me to contend with.

[cackles] Squeak. Squeak. He's a noisy little rat, isn't he?

Rraaah-mm... Papparapa!

[GOHAN] Huh?

[gasps]

Now, Dabura...

You are feeling up to this?

I'd hate for you to wear yourself out and quit

in the middle of the fight...

Rest assured.

These two will be easily removed from your sight.

They're rubbish! I'll clean them up easily.

[cackles]

[cackles] Good, you can dispose of them any way you like.

Maybe you could even turn them into stone!

Two more statues to add to our collection.

No.

I have something far more painful in mind.

[GOKU yells, groans]

[VEGETA, GOKU grunting]

So, you've still got plenty of fight left.

Yeah.

Heh. Impressive. I didn't think you'd last this long.

Really? I could say the same about you, Vegeta.

You've learned a few new tricks while I've been away.

[laughs, grunts]

[gasps]

[VEGETA, GOKU grunting]

[VEGETA yells]

[BABIDI] Did I mention how glad I am to see you, Kai?

Now I can finally avenge my father... can't I?

You remember, don't you? The way you murdered my father?

I suppose he let his guard down.

I won't make that mistake.

I won't be done in like my father was,

especially not by you. I learned from his shortcomings.

I've made his weaknesses my strengths!

For example, I've learned to keep better company.

Father never did have a knack for spotting talent.

[SUPREME KAI grunts]

[SUPREME KAI thinking] He's right. He's completely on guard.

A direct attack would play right into his hands.

There must be a way!

I have to get to Majin Buu! We're running out of time!

[GOHAN thinking] Come on, Gohan! Snap out of it!

You shouldn't be afraid of these guys!

What's holding you back?

[GOKU] Let go, son! Let go...

[GOHAN thinking] Uh, Dad?

You've got all the power you need to beat these guys,

if you can just remember how to fight

with your feelings, like you did against Cell.

Just remember all the people you're fighting for

and how much you care about them.

And then let that be your weapon.

[GOHAN thinking] I'm trying, Dad. I'm trying to remember!

But... But the fight with Cell...

That-That was so long ago...

[YOUNG GOHAN] Ka... me... ha... me...

Haaa!

[CELL cackles]

[GOHAN grunting]

[CELL yelping]

[GOHAN grunting]

[groaning]

[CELL] I'm perfect!

[GOHAN grunting]

[GOHAN thinking] I have to do this! I can do this!

[GOHAN grunts]

[BABIDI whimpers] Dabura...

[GOHAN grunting]

[GOHAN grunts]

[BABIDI gasps]

[yells]

Huh?

[gasps]

[BABIDI, DABURA] Hm?

Could it be...?

But... So soon... I don't believe it!

[gasps]

[SUPREME KAI gasps]

No, we're too late...

[gasping]

Master Babidi, what's happening?

[stammering] It's, he's... He's full, he's full power...

[SUPREME KAI] No!

Majin Buu is at full power!

[cackles]

His full power!

[gasps]

[BABIDI] It's really happening!

Buu is coming back to life!

[cackles]

[DABURA chuckles]

I don't understand! It's too soon!

Goku's damage energy alone--

it certainly couldn't have been enough to...

[BABIDI cackles]

[GOHAN thinking] Dad...

[gasps]

Huh?

That must be it!

Dad's been fighting at a level beyond a Super Saiyan!

Dad and Vegeta both!

And when two powers like that collide,

with as much energy as they're putting out...

The damage must be enormous!

[gasps] No!

We did it, Dabura!

Yes, Master Babidi.

Buu!

How could I let this happen?!

I've miscalculated at every turn! I should have...

I should have foreseen this!

It's all my fault!

[GOKU grunts]

[VEGETA grunting]

[GOKU grunting]

[GOKU] Huh?

[VEGETA grunts]

[GOKU yelps]

What's the matter clown?!

[GOKU grunts]

--[VEGETA grunts] --[GOKU groans]

Die!

[GOKU] As I was saying, Vegeta.

You've learned a few new tricks while I've been away.

But then, so have I.

[REPORTER A] Mister Satan, on a more positive note,

your victory today...

You had some big obstacles to overcome.

It must've been difficult. How'd you do it?

Well, I haven't run into an obstacle yet

that I couldn't smash down.

But you're right, winning is never easy.

Good thing I've had a lot of practice.

Thank you, sir.

But I was mostly referring to your final opponent, Number 18.

Looked like she gave you some trouble out there.

[MR. SATAN grumbles]

--[REPORTERS gasp] --[REPORTER A] Hm?

[laughs] Maybe to the eyes of an amateur...

I could've won that fight in five seconds

if I'd wanted to, but if I had...

...that wouldn't've been fair to all the people who paid

good money to see me in action today.

I make sure that my fans get plenty of

bang for their buck!

So I intentionally took my time.

[REPORTERS gasp]

Mister Satan! Putting the fans first!

It's great to have such a considerate champion!

"Considerate champion."

Really, guy, you flatter me.

But make sure you write that down.

Mister Satan, could you repeat the name

of that last technique you used to beat Number 18?

[MR. SATAN] Uh, well... Let's see, it was the

Satan Miracle Very Special Strong... Uh...

Mighty Mega-Punch.

Oh, but... I thought I heard you

call it something different out in the ring...

Ha, ha. Is that so?

[REPORTER D] Oh, you're right. How silly. My mistake!

But back to what happened after the match.

Do you know who those men were that attacked the stadium?

I guess they were a couple of posers

who wanted to challenge me for my title.

But they should've known better.

I'm an old pro at dealin' with flashy tricks

and light shows, explosives and stuff.

Naturally, when they saw I wasn't

backin' down, they got scared and ran off.

[REPORTERS] Ooh!

I wanna send out a message!

To all you would-be-challengers of the world, Mister Satan says:

"Bring it on." Use all the flashy tricks you want!

I still gonna send you home with my fist!

--[CROWD cheers] --You tell 'em, Mister Satan!

Those punks can't touch you, champ!

[MR. SATAN laughs] Yeah!

[gasps]

[MR. SATAN thinking] Why is she still here? I told her I'd pay!

For 20,000,000 zeni, she could at least stop

starin' at me like that!

[TRUNKS] You feel that energy?

There's some real fighting going on out there.

Not like at that stupid tournament.

I know. Who do you think it is?

My dad? Or your dad maybe?

[TRUNKS] It might even be both of them!

Feels like it's happening in more than one place.

I wanna find my dad first, then we can go watch your dad.

Doesn't matter. It'll all be over before we get there.

We might as well turn around and go home.

No! No! No!

I wanna see the Buu monster! And the wizard!

[TRUNKS] All right! All right! I wasn't being serious!

I'm just sayin' hurry up, or we really will miss everything!

[GOTEN] Oh, okay!

--[GOKU grunting] --[VEGETA groaning]

[GOKU grunting]

[gasps]

[VEGETA] Ha!

[GOKU grunts]

[GOKU, VEGETA grunting]

[VEGETA] Final Flash!

[gasps]

[VEGETA] You've become quite the escape artist!

[GOKU] Maybe you just need some better finishing moves.

[VEGETA] I doubt that.

[yells]

[panting]

[panting]

I'm amazed, Vegeta...

These last seven years in Other World,

I've been through the most intense training sessions.

But we're still completely even...

I guess this whole time,

you've been pushing yourself even harder than I have.

[VEGETA] That may be true.

I've pushed myself to the edge of my limits and beyond.

But you've been born with a natural talent

far beyond my own.

No amount of training could have closed the gap between us.

I realize that now.

It was made painfully obvious to me today

as I watched your fight with Babidi's monster.

[GOKU grunting]

[gasps]

[GOKU grunts, yells]

[VEGETA] Imagine my shock.

To see the undeniable proof.

To discover that no matter how hard I tried,

I would never be able to catch you.

A warrior prince forever living in the shadow

of a low-level clown!

So that's when I secretly made up my mind.

You mean you-- You fool!

You deliberately let yourself fall under Babidi's spell.

Yes. I saw the power of Babidi's magic.

At the World Martial Arts Tournament,

those two henchmen he sent...

--[SPOPOVITCH grunts] --[VIDEL groans]

[VIDEL groans]

[VIDEL yells]

When did Spopovitch get this strong?

It's like he's a different person!

[VIDEL groaning]

The people who had seen those fighters

in the previous tournament couldn't understand

how they'd become so powerful.

But you and I know, don't we?

It was Babidi's magic.

And I knew that what his magic had done for those fighters,

it could also do for me.

I knew that if I allowed myself to fall under his control,

the difference in our power would disappear.

I'm quite pleased with the results...

...even if they do come at a price.

I'd say the end more than justifies the means.

Vegeta... I don't understand.

You've never allowed anyone to help you before in your life--

Why start now? Why Babidi?

[VEGETA] Because I wanted him to reawaken

the evil in my heart...

I wanted him to return me to the way I was before!

I was the perfect warrior!

Cold and ruthless! I lived by my strength alone!

Uninhibited by foolish emotion!

But slowly... over the years...

I became one of you, my quest for greatness

gradually giving way to this life of mediocrity.

I awoke one day to find that I had settled down...

...formed a family...

I had even grown quite fond of them.

Would you believe, I almost started to think

the Earth was a nice place to live.

Do you understand now, Kakarot?

That's why I needed Babidi!

To set me free! By releasing the evil in my heart...

...he has freed my of these petty attachments.

And I'd have to say it feels pretty good.

Do you really believe what you're saying?

[grunts, growls]

[GOKU grunts]

[DABURA] At last, success Master Babidi.

[BABIDI] Oh yes! Sweet, beautiful, success!

He's gonna come out! Majin Buu's coming out!

[SUPREME KAI grunts]

[GOHAN grunts]

[gasps]

[gasps]

[NARRATOR] After centuries of plotting,

Babidi's plans are finally coming to fruition!

Majin Buu is going to be set free!

And the Earth's best hope for stopping the monster

has his hands full elsewhere.

Hurry, Goku! Time is running out!

Human kind's darkest hour is at hand!

[NARRATOR] Stay tuned for scenes from the next

exciting episode of Dragon Ball Z!
