With their next course of action decided, the z fighters were ready to set out for Babidi.
Supreme Kai's assistant Kibito was given the responsibility of taking them to planet Wasabi, the new lair of Babidi and Dabura.
Meanwhile Supreme Kai had decided to go get the z sword for Raditz, he could only rest easy with the z sword in his champion's hand.
"Everyone."
"The future of our universe is in your hands."
Supreme Kai inspired the crowd and prepared to show them where Babidi's lair was.
Holding his hands up, he used one of god's technique's, creation, to create a model of what he was seeing and then move it in real time.
So soon a dimly lit cave appeared before everyone's eyes and within the cave there stood two people and one giant egg.
'That's Buu's egg, how did it get there?'
Thought Raditz, Buu was no longer on Earth, something had changed due to him being here again.
Well, it was to be expected, he was not shying away from showing his fame, even an alien who just visited Earth would know Raditz within a minute.
Those advertising funds weren't being used for nothing.
"What are they doing?"
Asked Piccolo, the short ugly one was laughing madly while his tall partner sat on the ground with a slump.
He assumed they were Babidi and Dabura.
But although Piccolo had asked him a question, Supreme kai did not answer.
His forehead was pouring sweat like never before, and so was his assistant Kibito's.
"This, this can't be! When did he collect so much energy!"
"He didn't have nearly as much as this before!"
Kibito stuttered, they had kept tabs on Babidi and they knew he had come to Earth not only to get Majin Buu's egg, but also to collect enough energy to revive him.
So how in the world, with them running out of Earth like that, did they gain enough energy to fill their container.
There weren't that many life planets near planet Wasabi for them to loot from.
They were missing something, this didn't please the Supereme Kai at all.
"Everyone, we must hurry! Babidi should never get the chance to use all that energy."
"Shit, he is trying to revive Buu now! Go, quickly Kibito!"
Kibito gupled up but somehow stopped his trembling and stared holes into the z fighters.
"Grab onto me quickly!"
He exclaimed angrily, the z fighters too realised the gravity of the situation, so they went ahead and put their hands on Kibito's shoulders.
*Swish*
And vanished using Kai Kai.
Meanwhile, a few minutes ago on planet Wasabi.
"Ugh!"
Dabura cried out in pain but still held on, all for his master, Babidi.
"Yes, yes! A little more Dabura, just a little more!"
Babidi cackled while stabbing into Dabura with a lamp like device.
The device had a needle which kept turning ever so slowly, reaching the symbol which signified full as time passed.
But Dabura who had been stabbed was definitely not having a good time, he had been getting sucked dry of energy ever since they left Earth.
They had refrained from doing that before because he was the bodyguard of Babidi, and who in their right mind would weaken their own guard if they had a choice, but certain circumstances had forced Babidi to make a choice.
Still, that didn't make it any better for Dabura, getting his energy sucked dry like that.
"Master.. If you take any more of my energy, I will not be able to protect you."
Dabura pleaded, after getting the Majin Mark from Babidi he was loyal to the very core, all these years of servitude had left it's mark on Dabura.
So although Babidi had been using him as a disposable power bank since they returned from earth, he wasn't mad.
All his worries were there because he had grown weak and wouldn't be able to protect Babidi.
"Master, let's take a break, I am getting too weak, if the Earthlings get to know about us we might be in terrible danger."
"Eeei!"
But Babidi out of nowhere trembled, his hands shook and he gulped his saliva in a fearful fashion.
"It's, it's the Earth! They are staring at us!"
Babidi could feel it, his magic was telling him that there was someone on Earth who was watching him right now.
Could it be that monster?!
No, it couldn't be, that monster without pupils, he wouldn't come for them right.
'No, no he shouldn't, I, I didn't do anything in his territory, I left Earth as soon as I sensed him.'
'Does he.. does he know I took Buu's egg from his planet?? That's it, that must be it, he is coming to claim it as his property.'
"Dammit, I knew I should have given him offerings before taking the egg away, he is the king of that planet, of course he will keep tabs everywhere."
Babidi was scratching his wrinkly head in frustration, and hearing his self talk Dabura's eyes also shrunk.
"Does that monster King Raditz know about us?! Master, then we must hurry and get out of here."
Dabura tried hard to get up, he knew how dangerous that guy was.
Their plan was to land on Earth and absorb the energy of the population there to revive Buu.
But as soon as they landed on Earth, they saw Raditz's posters and banners everywhere.
Thinking this guy is worth taking energy from, being the King of this planet and a strong one to boot, they sneaked into his palace, and then promptly shat themselves.
Dabura still remembered the first time he saw Monster King Raditz turn into this 'Super Saiyan' thing.
Dabura had personally decided to call that white eyed state of his 'Punisher', because punishment was exactly what he dealt onto his opponents in that form.
"We cannot run away anymore idiot!!! They are about to arrive."
"Grr, I cannot hesitate anymore."
Babidi shook Dabura out of his musings by delivering a sharp pain to his chest.
"Ma.. Master..?"
Dabura asked in a shocked fashion, what was master Babidi doing?
But Babidi had blood in his eyes, he said in a vicious voice.
"I can't hesitate anymore, as long as Buu is revived, I can contend against anyone, that monster included!"
".. Okay maybe not him, but I can still run away! I got to hurry."
And just like that, before Dabura's rapidly clearing eyes, Babidi decided to trade Dabura's life for Buu.
When his life finally flashed before his eyes, Dabura understood he had been replaced, replaced with Buu, someone he wasn't even sure can really protect Babidi.
'Heh, how pitiful.'
First Yakon, then him, Babidi had sacrificed his own men one after the other, all because he was terrified that Raditz would come for him, after sensing the stolen egg.
Heh, guess he won't be able to see Buu fight against that monster King, truly, a pity.
*Thud*
Dabura's body fell to the ground, lifeless, and Babidi smiling picked up the lamp like device, which showed full.
"I, I did it-"
*Swish*
In the very next second, a whole bunch of people showed up in his cave, with Kibito being at the forefront, causing Babidi's eyes to pop.
"Earth, Earthlings!! Please forgive me! Let me see your King, I will definitely give him a satisfactory answer!"
Babidi immediately knelt down and started begging, which had everyone present to be taken aback.
Why was Babidi so deadly afraid of Raditz out of nowhere? What were they missing?
