The z fighters soon made space within the living room, everyone stood safely on the edges while looking at master Roshi.
Although Tien and Piccolo knew what was coming, they were not going to dive in and explain Roshi's master's technique for him, nobody other than Roshi was qualified to explain Mafuba.
Roshi meanwhile understood the sentiment but twitched his lips watching the strongest beings in the universe run away from him.
"If all of you leave who am I going to seal?"
"I need some kind of a container too, a paper seal is also needed for the final step, but we can skip it for now."
Everyone looked at each other, hesitating in taking up the role, watching all this Goku appointed himself.
No, he wasn't being noble or anything, he figured he would be able to learn how sealing feels like without any danger.
Learning new moves and it's counters was always fun for Goku.
"Seal me Gramps!"
Goku smiled and raised his hand, ready to get sealed within whatever they could find.
"You..?"
Roshi looked at Goku for a second before shaking his head.
"You won't work, the technique simply won't have a big effect on you."
Goku tilted his head in confusion, a question mark appeared on top of his head.
Roshi noticed that and saw everyone else's desire to know this as well, so he simply explained what was going on.
"This technique was created by my master, it's name is evil containment wave, it contains evil, it's in the name."
"As such this works best for people who are truly evil, the more evil you are, the stronger the hold of the seal will be on you."
Remembering Goku managing to climb on top of the nimbus while he himself fell straight down, Roshi turned his head away.
"And you Goku, you are too pure of heart for my technique to have any kind of long lasting effect."
"I might succeed in putting you away in a bottle if I try, but it won't hold you in for even a few seconds."
Goku scratched his head, it was such a bummer that he won't be able to feel the technique.
Meanwhile Shin realised something and breathed a sigh of relief, he felt guilty for doubting Raditz.
He remembered he had told Raditz that Buu was a mixture of evil and good, where good was dominant after Grand Supreme Kai got absorbed.
That was how Buu's rampage had stopped all those years ago, he had mellowed down.
'Raditz must have known Buu's good side and his magic wouldn't let us seal him away with such a technique.'
'That must be why he didn't risk it and decided to go for the Kai Kai Matoru, everything becomes easier when magic itself is being sealed.'
Buu was a magical being so if a technique seals magic, it doesn't matter if Buu is good, evil or even alive, his strength will be sealed regardless.
Understanding that, Shin decided to no longer look at the technique, they had more important things to discuss, this was an emergency after all.
"It won't work, let's stop this trial."
Shin attracted attention with his statement.
Then proceeded to clarify further.
"Raditz must have thought of this but he never brought it up, I am sure there must be reasons for that."
"We can't depend on a technique that might fail at the most crucial time."
Not going into too much detail Shin told his theory in a generic fashion.
The hope which had just awakened was once again dampened because of that.
"Ohh man, I was sure it would have worked."
Goku rubbed his neck, while the performer himself Roshi didn't say anything, he happily sat down on the stool because he no longer had to work.
He was a retired man, it wasn't his place to act.
Just as the z fighters were wondering what they should do now, a phone rang.
"Hmm? Satan is calling, what does he want now?"
Bulma thought aloud and picked up the call.
"It's terrible! Bulma San call Boss! There is a pink monster destroying the city!"
*Boooom*
"Shiiit!!?"
"He's looking at me! Ahem, Hello there Mr!? Are you perhaps a fan-"
*Beep*
*Beep*
*Beep*
Everyone's eyes bulged, Buu was destroying the cities so soon?
"Dammit."
Piccolo growled, his face was clearly showing his anger.
"Can we call Raditz? Buu will destroy everything like this."
Bulma asked Shin, who shook his head, disturbing Raditz now would be worse.
*Bang*
Vegeta's fist hit the wall, cracking it ever so slightly.
"We don't need Raditz, I am an elite dammit! Not some weakling cowering behind his king!"
*Whooosh*
Vegeta didn't say another word and powered up into a Super Saiyan, but Nappa swiftly did the same and held Vegeta's shoulder.
"Don't rush over, at least check the situation, you alone will only become food for him."
"Queen, can our satellites show what's going on down here?"
Nappa's suggestion had Bulma's eyes sparkle.
"Yes, I almost forgot about them, wait."
Bulma quickly went back inside the tools storage area and brought back a mini projector.
"Here."
*Buzzz*
The projector buzzed to life and soon a crystal clear image was before them.
A ruined city with flames raging everywhere, crushed buildings and broken structures.
"That monster, he only knows destruction."
Tien frowned, he felt disgust for such an act, his previous sensei was such a person but his new values dosen't let him agree to such actions.
"There Nappa, is that enough for you, now let me go!"
"Wait Vegeta, ki signatures aren't vanishing anymore, Buu has stopped."
Goku stopped Vegeta with a frown, his two fingers were on his forehead.
He was sensing the city's life signature since the moment he got the news of Buu arriving there.
And the life loss had suddenly stopped.
"So what? He might be thinking of attacking another place!"
"No, this isn't like that."
Goku once again denied Vegeta's idea, but before Vegeta could blow up on him, Bulma had tweaked the image to scan the area.
"What is that? Is that Buu?"
Bulma asked seeing a pink fat man walking around with another large muscular man and a green hunched figure.
"That's Satan? And a Saibaman? What are they doing with Buu?"
Vegeta asked in a confused tone of voice, as far as he knows, Satan was weak, he shouldn't have had a chance against Buu.
"Is Buu playing with the Saibaman?"
Nappa was even more confused watching Buu play with the Saibaman, he was treating the Saibaman like a dog and the Saibaman had no problems with it for some reason.
"Buu has stopped his massacre..! Everyone, who is that person? He has managed to make Buu stop!"
Shin was super excited, Earth was really a treasure trove, so many masters were settled on this planet.
First Raditz and now this man, he must be insanely strong for Buu to stop and talk to him!
