*Huff*
After a while Raditz's clenched fist loosened as he got his bearings back, and right around that time Supreme Kai also recovered from his shock.
"Buu.. is dead..?"
Wiping away one stray tear from the corner of his eyes, Supreme Kai smiled at Kibito and praised him with all his heart.
"Wonderful news Kibito! Truly wonderful! Finally, we won't have to worry about Buu running amok anymore!"
Supereme Kai also turned towards Raditz, and then gratefully bowed to him.
"Thank you very much for your support during this time Raditz, even knowing the possibile danger you didn't back down."
"Although Buu is now dead, but I would still like you to continue your stay here."
"You have helped us a lot, so please stay for as long as you like, and train to your heart's content."
"You have earned it."
Ignoring Kibito's twitching eyes, Shin smiled and extended his formal invitation to Raditz, via raising his hand and pointing his palm towards him.
"Ha!"
Raditz was taken aback when he heard Shin's yell and saw his royal armour glow and disappear into a burst of energy, as a new outfit was given to him.
"This is..!"
Touching the yellow potara earrings on his ear, and the full sleeved Kai clothes he had been given, Raditz's eyes widened.
'Did he give me the Supreme Kai's attended position? So I am the same as Trunks and Gohan were in the orginal?'
This was such a surprise that for a second Raditz even ignored the fact that Buu was actually revived and nobody knew.
Because these clothes were extremely important when given by a Supereme Kai, when Shin did this, what he essential did was to promote Raditz to the same level as Kibito and Zamasu.
This wasn't just a name, it was a godly position, he was now a god of creation in training, just like Trunks and Gohan had unknowingly become in the orginal.
'But unlike those two, I know what godly powers come along with such a position.'
'Kai Kai, healing, forced teleportion, creation, authority only below the Supereme Kai.'
'And best of all, as an assistant my life isn't connected with Beerus, both Shin and Beerus can die, and I will still keep my powers and life.'
This was how Trunks kept his ability to heal and his position as assistant Kai, even when the Kai Hakai duo of his timeline were dead.
'This is great, it is far beyond what I could have asked for, I have become a god.'
'But my Ki dosen't feel any different, is it a time thing or do I have to train with Shin before I unlock it..?'
Raditz wondered, Shin was dead in Trunks's timeline and Gohan gave up his position almost immediately in favour of wearing his dad's clothes, so none of the two actually got to the part where Shin could train them.
But now, now Raditz had a chance, as long as he protects Shin, he can get in touch with god ki much sooner.
".. Thank you, I am grateful to for this chance, Supreme Kai sama."
Bowing his head to Shin Raditz gave him the respect he deserved, he wasn't so pedantic as to not do something so mundane because of his pride.
Shin was not strong, just around a full power super Saiyan in strength, but his will was not weak, to make such a decision so easily required a strong will, and Raditz respected that.
So if nothing else, just for this alone, he would try to save the god from the upcoming chaos.
But their time was running out, so straightening from his bow, Raditz gazed at Kibito, much to the latter's uneasiness.
Although all that was swept under the rug when Raditz asked his question.
"Kibito, you just said there was nothing inside the shell correct? Did you check the place well?"
"As far as I understand, Bibidi, Babidi, Buu, the trio can all use magic, is it possible Babidi made Buu invisible?"
The sudden tremor that went through the Kai duo's spine didn't matter to Raditz, as he tried to find a way to tell them that Buu was there and definitely wasn't dead.
"I only ask because Babidi succeeded in opening the egg, from what I know, it only opens when Buu has absorbed enough energy."
"If he was dead, then what exactly was absorbing all that energy..?"
Kibito and Shin almost jumped like a cat who's tail was stepped on.
Gulping hard, Shin trembled but laughed in an attempt to ignore the fear creeping up on him.
No way, no way, Buu is probably dead, Kibito couldn't have been there and missed him right, there is no way!
"I.. I did check, but the cave collapsed and, and.."
Kibito wasn't able to say that he wanted to leave right away because Nappa and Vegeta were making fun of him, so he just kept stuttering, and this made Supreme Kai realise, they might be in very deep shit .
"Kibito! Check it out at once!"
Shin was tragically afraid for the universe now, but keeping his position in mind he attempted to guide Kibito the best he could.
"R-right."
Kibito didn't dilly dally either and quickly sat down while creating a glass ball, while both Supreme Kai and Raditz landed besides him to observe what was happening.
*Hmm*
With a light hum, the glass ball begun to show a hazy image which quickly became clear.
"They are fine, at least they didn't meet Buu after I left."
Kibito first checked on the z fighters, he had left when they were back at Wasabi, so he figured if Buu was alive they would have faught by now.
"Supereme Kai sama, it seems they are back at Earth, they must have left Wasabi soon after me."
Shin nodded his head with visible relief.
"Looks like they haven't met Buu yet."
But just this one check wasn't enough for them, they had made a mistake once, they really didn't want to make it again.
"I'll check the ruins that buried Babidi and the sealed egg."
Kibito said while he ran his hands before the glass ball.
*Hmm*
The picture changed once more, but this time around all colour drained from their faces.
Because what should have been a collapsed cave according to Kibito, was now a dirt plane, and what should have been devoid of life, had a pink humanoid standing in the ruins.
"That, That is Majin Buu!!!"
Shin backed away in terror and fell on his butt, there he was, the terrifying Buu.
"What, what is he doing..?"
Asked Kibito who was also scared out of his wits, he made a massive blunder.
"He, that guy, he is trying to initiate instant transmission, Kakarot, how did he manage to teach Buu instant transmission before even meeting him!"
Raditz wasn't even in the mood to be speechless anymore, he was just plain confused.
If Goku had met Buu, he wouldn't be back at Earth right now, yet Buu somehow knew instant transmission.
How did this happen?
"It, might be because they left Wasabi by using that technique."
Kibito said his guess, which made Raditz look at him in a confused way.
"You didn't bring them back?"
Kibito was once more tongue tied, he just wanted to get out of there and not face Vegeta, so when Goku gave him to chance to leave he took it.
"I.. I was told to come here and alert the Supreme Kai of the news.."
"I am sorry."
Kibito bowed to Shin, he understood he had made a blunder in his hurry, he should have been more forgiving and not as condescending on the fact that they were mortals.
If he could have let go of his prejudices, he might not have made the same blunders.
"Alas.. what is done is done."
Supreme Kai shook his head.
"Now we must hurry, Kibito, tell the Earthlings Buu is revived."
"Knowing Buu's nature, he might as well follow them to Earth, Wasabi is barren, it won't keep him entertained for long."
Kibito quickly got up and after a bow, vanished using Kai Kai.
Now only Raditz and Shin remained, but this time around, the problem wasn't just a possibility anymore, it was a fact.
It was time to pull out the z Sword.
