Back at the battlefield, tension hung thick in the air as Babidi seethed with frustration. "That long hair looks ridiculous!" he shouted, glancing at Goku, who stood confidently in his Super Saiyan 3 form. Majin Buu giggled, his wide grin stretching across his round face. "Goku looks funny!" he chimed, enjoying the chaos.
Goku, unfazed, welcomed the challenge with a grin. "You're right; it does feel a little wild! But I'm ready to take you on!" he exclaimed, feeling the surge of power coursing through him.
Babidi's anger boiled over as he imagined the spectacle of their battle. "The whole planet will watch this!" he thought, eager to turn the fight into a public spectacle. Meanwhile, Goku's mind raced, urging Trunks to hurry back with the Dragon Radar.
Meanwhile, Trunks arrived at Capsule Corp, but his grandmother's chatter about food distracted him. "Grandma, I don't have time for that!" he exclaimed, quickly shifting his focus to finding Dr. Brief. "Where's the Dragon Radar?" he demanded, urgency lacing his voice.
Dr. Brief scratched his head, bewildered. "I can't remember where I left it, Trunks!" he said. As they searched, Goku engaged Majin Buu in a flurry of powerful blows, showcasing his immense strength. Goten watched in awe from the sidelines, excitedly imagining the day he would reach that level.
Back in the fray, Goku landed several solid hits on Majin Buu, sending him crashing into buildings. Babidi cheered him on, his face twisted with delight. "Finish him, Buu! Show him no mercy!" he shrieked.
Goku continued his onslaught, tossing Majin Buu across the battlefield. "Come on, Buu! Is that all you've got?" Goku called out, his enthusiasm palpable. Babidi barked orders, trying to regain control of the situation.
As the battle raged on, Goku quickly realized that every punch he threw was met with an equal response from Majin Buu. Each clash of their fists sent shockwaves through the area, causing nearby structures to tremble. When Majin Buu smiled, Goku noticed how his resilience only grew with every exchange.
Goku, recognizing that he needed to change tactics, attempted to break Buu's momentum. He landed a powerful kick, but instead of being fazed, Majin Buu simply expanded his stomach, enveloping Goku momentarily. Babidi couldn't help but cheer for his creation.
"Excellent! Now finish him off!" he shouted, delighting in Goku's predicament.
Yet, Goku wasn't finished. Charging his energy, he unleashed a massive explosion from within Majin Buu's form, freeing himself with a fierce burst of energy. Majin Buu, now flattened against the ground, quickly inhaled air to regain his shape, his resilience frustrating Babidi further.
As the combatants exchanged blows, Goku fired energy blasts that Majin Buu skillfully caught and deflected. The two combatants charged at each other, the atmosphere charged with energy as they unleashed a barrage of punches, each one more powerful than the last.
Babidi continued to bark orders, demanding Majin Buu to attack. "Don't let him have fun! Show him your power!" he shouted, but Goku and Buu only seemed to enjoy themselves more.
With a final flourish, Majin Buu stretched out his arms to land a blow, but Goku evaded. Seizing the opportunity, Goku struck back with a headbutt that sent Majin Buu reeling. "That's the spirit!" Goku encouraged, feeling invigorated.
Majin Buu, still recovering, prepared to fire a powerful blast of energy. "You're tough, but let's see how you handle this!" Goku shouted, channeling his energy into a massive Super Kamehameha. The blast erupted through the battlefield, striking Majin Buu squarely in the stomach.
Babidi gasped, shocked by Goku's audacity. "No! How is he still standing?" he exclaimed as Majin Buu healed his wound almost instantly, unfazed.
Back at the lookout, Krillin and Piccolo watched anxiously. "Goku can't keep this up forever," Piccolo remarked, concern evident in his voice. Goku, realizing he couldn't afford to lose momentum, continued to push his limits.
As Majin Buu charged his own energy, Goku saw an opening. "Let's see if you can keep up with this!" he yelled, unleashing another powerful attack. The resulting explosion shook the foundations of the earth, sending shockwaves rippling outward.
At Capsule Corp, Trunks finally found the Dragon Radar, but his grandmother's endless questions were a distraction. "I have to go!" he shouted, transforming into Super Saiyan 2 and racing back towards the lookout, eager to help his friends.
Back at the battlefield, Goku began to feel the strain of Super Saiyan 3. "I can't keep this up much longer!" he thought as he noticed Trunks' energy moving away from West City. "Hurry, Trunks!" he urged silently.
Suddenly, Goku phased out of Super Saiyan 3, reverting back to his normal form. Goten, who had been fighting Majin Cooler, sensed his father's change and flew back to him, also transitioning to his base form. "Are we done fighting dad?" Goten asked, breathing heavily.
Before Goku could respond, Babidi interrupted. "You don't decide when to leave! Majin Buu, finish him!" he ordered, but before Buu could act, Goku teleported away with Goten, leaving Babidi bewildered.
Babidi's face twisted in rage. "You incompetent fool, Buu! Go find Goku!" he yelled, but Majin Buu only smiled, refusing to take orders from Babidi any longer.
Feeling empowered by his newfound freedom, Majin Buu approached Babidi, choking him by the neck. "You can't control me anymore!" he growled, tightening his grip. Babidi's eyes widened in terror as he realized his grip on the creature was slipping.
"Let me go! I command you!" Babidi shouted, panic rising in his voice.
But Majin Buu was resolute. "You no say words, you no control me!" he declared, his strength overpowering Babidi. With a swift motion, Majin Buu punched Babidi's head clean off, splattering blood across the battlefield.
As Babidi's body fell lifelessly to the ground, Majin Cooler watched in astonishment. "What just happened?" he murmured, his Majin mark fading away but leaving his power intact.
Back at the lookout, Goku and Goten reappeared, relieved to see Trunks was finally on his way back. "We've got the Dragon Radar!" Bulma shouted, excitement bubbling in her voice.
As Goku caught his breath as Goten ate one of the senzu beans he had on him getting a Zenkai Boost, Goku knew the battle was far from over. With Babidi defeated, the true nature of Majin Buu remained to be seen. But for now, they could regroup and plan their next move against the formidable foe.
