With the Youth Division coming to a close the event staff gave everyone thirty minutes to rest, relax, and get ready for the Adult Division, where Twilight got up from her seat and simply walked around the area that the tournament was taking place on, mostly to get a bit of exercise before the main event. One thing she discovered while doing that was the fact that Trunks and Goten, being the brats they were, had a plan to take down one of the fighters, take his clothing, and impersonate him in the division that Trunks really wanted to take part in, causing her to sigh for a moment as she pulled them away from the man called Mighty Mask. With that done she pulled them over to where Chi-Chi, Bulma, and the other watchers were, as all of them had been worried when they ran off after Eschalot won the Youth Division, just to make sure they didn't go off and do something they would regret, or get them thrown in jail. Once that was done she resumed her walk, mostly to see if there was anything else going on that needed to be dealt with before the Adult Division started, though she made sure to use a bit of her power to make a few Phantom Eyes that she sent out into the surrounding area, just to see if they could find any sign of their targets.

There were two figures who caught her immediate attention as soon as she noticed them, as their skin was pale and both wore nothing over their chests, showing off their muscles and even some of their veins in some places, though while one was taller than the other she noticed that they had demonic M's on their foreheads.

While she thought about what this might mean for the tournament, since they were in the participants section, Twilight said nothing as Goku, Vegeta, and the others joined the Announcer and the rest of the event staff so they could determine their positions in the upcoming battles. From what she discovered there was a man called 'Killer' who was disappointed in not being able to take part in the tournament this time around, but Twilight knew that he would have been given a chance had Goku and the others not decided to come to this event. After that it was a simple matter to have her Phantom Eye float off to the side as she observed the fighters draw their numbers, to determine their positions, like how Krillin pulled the ball with a One on it, Piccolo scored Fourteen, Kibito pulled Seven, Gohan drew Eight, 18 ended up with the Nine ball, before Shin had his turn and withdrew the ball with the number Three on it. As the Announcer moved onto Spopovich, who pulled out the ball with Six on it, Twilight found that there was nothing dangerous going on in the rest of the island and focused on what the contestants were doing, with the one called Jewel pulling Sixteen, Goku scored Eleven, Videl got Five, a fat man called Punta pulled Two, Vegeta, incredibly, pulled Twelve, and Thirteen went to Mighty Mask.

Twilight smiled as Aria pulled the number Four ball, something that caused Shin to pause in his tracks, meaning he was of the opinion that something different would happen when Aria drew her number, which left Mr. Satan with the ball with a Ten on it and Yamu, the other pale fighter, with the Fifteen ball.

"Hello everyone, the Tenka'ichi Budokai will begin shortly!" the Announcer declared, where he emerged from the section that tall of the fighters usually stayed in when they watched all of the fights, to get a better idea of what each fighter was capable of so they could form their own plans depending on who won each match, "I will now read off the matches, and then we'll get started with the first match!"

Sure enough everyone in Twilight's group was interested in Goku and Vegeta's match, though before that Krillin and Punta took to the stage, where the latter seemed to taunt Krillin for a few moments, something that ended with him receiving a single punch to the chest that stunned him, before the small warrior delivered a few slaps to the face and a kick to the head that knocked his foe out of the ring.

"I figured as much." Twilight commented, as she knew that Krillin, while not caring to train for the dangers of the future, was still one of the strongest Humans on the planet and this was an excellent show of power, especially since many were learning how to wield their true power, before she leaned forward, "Now then, let's see the power of a Kaioshin."

As she said that the Announcer informed the crowd that both Aria and Shin were newcomers to the tournament, which made sense due to the fact that the former had been busy until this point and the latter had no reason to come to Earth until this moment, not that the public knew that, and they stepped into the arena without delay.

"Aria, you must know of the danger this planet is in. We don't have time for this." Shin said, keeping his voice low so only his old friend could hear him, especially since he was more interested in the likes of Spopovich and Yamu, due to their more evil natures and the energy he felt coming from them.

"Sure we do, especially since Twilight and the others are keeping watch for us." Aria replied, though as she said that she separated herself from where Shin was standing and turned to face him, where the Eastern Kaioshin found that she was serious as she shifted her stance and raised her arms, taking her battle stance, "Besides, I'm interested in seeing just how much you have improved since our last encounter."

In the next instant, as the Announcer proclaimed that the battle had started, Aria approached Shin without wasting even a second and swung her right leg at him, forcing him to raise his arm to block the attack and found that her strength was far more than what he remembered it being, all while pushing him away from her. Shin found that Aria was serious about this fight, in fact her full focus was on him as he noted that the demons she was allied with were keeping an eye on the rest of the island, without even revealing that they were doing so as he noticed two more that weren't with the main group, who were talking with Demigra if his memory served. Aria used his divided focus to punch him in the stomach, a reminder that this was a fight and that he needed to focus on her above all else, forcing him to swing at her so he could push her back, to give him some space, only to find that she used the palm of the opposite hand to push his attack out of the way. In that moment, with his defenses compromised, Aria struck him again as she took control of the fight and pushed him towards the edge of the ring, even though she did give him plenty of opportunities to prove himself to her.

While that happened Twilight sighed in disappointment, as it seemed like Shin was a worthless Kaioshin, his powers were barely a shadow of what Aria had, in fact his combat capability was zero, even though she was the only one that seemed to notice it, among the watchers anyway, and it wasn't long before Aria knocked him out of the arena.

"How disappointing... guess Buu really did kill all the good Kaioshin." Twilight remarked, her words drowned out by the noise of the crowd cheering for Aria and Shin, even though it was complete domination on Aria's part, though this told her that Shin lacked training, as if he had simply rested since the days of Majin Buu's rampage.

Despite her disappointment Twilight was eager to see Videl's match, as she had learned quite a bit during her training with Gohan, especially how to control her newfound Ki powers, and that was in addition to the fact that Spopovich's energy, a fact she had confirmed several times now, had a dark feel to it. When the third match started it was clear to many that the advantage was with Videl, as she struck Spopovich without much standing in her way, though what interested Twilight was the fact that he happened to be tanking her attacks, even if it hurt his body, and just kept coming. Even when she struck him with a blow that should have knocked him unconscious Spopovich kept getting up for more, especially since that was when he started fighting for real and put some pressure on her, forcing her off the ring at one point and forced her to fly to avoid being ringed out. After that she landed a blow that, despite not intending to do such a thing, broke his neck and shocked everyone, only for him to readjust his head as if nothing had happened, but that only caused him to lash out at her with a shocking display of power, especially when she tried to escape to the sky and was knocked back down by her foe, who seemed to take great pleasure in toying with her.

The brutality got worse as the moments ticked by, as Spopovich broke her teeth, damaged her nose, and just delivered blow after blow upon her body, to the point where everyone thought he was actually going to take her life, though as Gohan transformed, showing that he cared about her, Yamu stopped him from killing Videl and convinced his partner to ring her out. With that done Gohan, having reverted to his base form, rushed over to make sure she was okay, in fact he was willing to carry her to the infirmary as he asked his father to get a Senzu Bean for her, though he also informed the man who beat Videl up that he was going to get what was coming to him. Fortunately, since Goku had already left, Gohan was able to make sure she had all the attention she needed and, once he had a healing bean upon his father's return, he left one for Videl as he made his way to the ring as Kibito joined him for the fourth match. Twilight shifted in her seat once more, because Kibito was Shin's attendant and she was eager to see what sort of skills he had to offer, even though Shin's lack of abilities and skill told her not to expect anything from him either.

What interested her was the fact that Kibito wanted Gohan to become a Super Saiyan, meaning he and Shin had taken a few moments to observe this planet and Shin was just bad at noticing what was going on, since the Kaioshin hadn't seen Aria during his studies, and she could see that people were getting ready for something.

Her reason for thinking such a thing was because of the fact that Shin was watching them, Yamu and Spopovich were off on the side with a radar device and something that looked like it might absorb one's energy after stabbing their target in their chest or side, and those near Shin were observing everything. In the next moment Gohan decided to trust Kibito as he transformed before his eyes, shocking the Attendant as he went beyond his Super Saiyan form and went into the form Twilight had helped him unlock during her preparations for the battle with Cell. Once he was in his Super Saiyan 2 form, a fact that surprised the people in the stands since they weren't expecting it, Yamu and Spopovich rushed out to assault him with their draining device, though as that happened she found that Shin was raising his hands, only to stop as Aria pulled his hands down. Twilight understood what was going on without anything being said, the current Kaioshin wanted to help the pair so he could follow them to whoever their boss was, and Aria had stopped him from making a bad decision, not that it mattered since the pair actually latched onto Gohan before stabbing him, where she determined that he must have put his trust in Kibito.

Once the pair had all the energy they wanted, every drop that Gohan had to offer, they took off without wasting time, to which Shin and Aria took off as well, causing Twilight to tell her children and the others to stick around, since this was no doubt what she and her girlfriend had prepared for, before taking to the skies as well as Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo did the same thing.

Even though Yamu and Spopovich had a head start on them, and seemed to be flying at unsafe speeds, Twilight knew that they would reach their destination not a few moments after the pair, though she did notice that her mother had decided to join them as well, leaving the other demons to make sure everyone else remained safe. While they did that Shin told the others about the threat that he and Kibito, who would be joining them once Gohan's energy had been restored, had come to take care of, even though it required explaining Bibidi, his son Babidi, and the monster known as Majin Buu, along with the fact that four Kaioshin fell to Buu's might. Aria confirmed as much during their journey, she died fighting the monster five million years ago and had been revived by Twilight, though knowing that Buu was still out there, sealed away, had caused her to start training in earnest, so she could help defeat the monster this time around. Babidi had come here with the sole purpose of recovering the pod that Buu had been sealed in so he could awaken the monster and dominate the rest of the universe, or destroy it, which was what Shin and Kibito were here to stop, hence why they were following Yamu and Spopovich to figure out where their target was hiding.

Twilight, however, realized something before the others did, there was a demonic Ki signature ahead of them, which was interesting since she was unaware of any newcomers on the planet, and when it came time to slow down they did so and stopped by a large rock formation that allowed them to look out over a destroyed farm. One thing she noted instantly as the others hid themselves was the fact that the ground had been dug up, meaning Babidi had hidden his spaceship under this area to avoid detection, before she looked at the tip that was protruding from the ground. It appeared to be a hole of sorts that allowed one to move between the floors of the ship, where the pair were talking to a figure who was wearing a black jumpsuit with a white chest piece and a headpiece, who headed inside for a moment before returning with two new individuals. The one who interested Shin was the short dull yellow skinned individual who wore an orange cape with a blue robe and a black chest piece, who looked like an alien, though Twilight's focus was on the Demon who stood beside him, a figure that reminded her of the one who carried the longsword during her fight with Cell.

She wasn't the only one who recognized him, as her mother was staring at the scene in front of them as the small figure took the energy device and talked to the pair that had delivered it to him, meaning her thoughts on who it was were right and it just annoyed her to no end.

"...Dabura..." Towa commented, as she had wondered what had happened to her brother, since she hadn't heard anything from him in a long time, though it came as a surprise to find that he had been taken over by Babidi, given the mark that was on his forehead.

Twilight said nothing as Babidi blew Spopovich up with a mental command, causing extreme pain in the man's body just before it happened, though as Yamu flew off the armored figure loosed a blast from his hands that destroyed him while he was in the air, causing the little figure to head back inside with the other figure, leaving Dabura behind, which was just want Twilight wanted as she flashed down to his position.

"So, one of the Kaioshin's allies has come to me first. I shall..." Dabura started to say, though as he said that Twilight pulled out her staff and spun it around as she approached him, where she could see that he recognized her for what she was, all due to her demonic weapon, and before he could stop her Twilight tapped the tip against his forehead, purging the magic that held him, "What... Who?"

"It is good to see that you are well, uncle." Twilight said, where she watched as the Demon staggered for a moment as he was freed from Babidi's control, no doubt surprised by the fact that he was fully in control of his body, while at the same time Towa landed nearby.

"Sister... niece?!" Dabura stated, showing Twilight that he must have been under Babidi's control for quite a while, since he seemed to be struggling with the concept that his sister would marry and have a child, even if he was wrong about part of that thought process, which she would correct in due time.

"I'll explain later, brother... I'm just glad that you're all right." Towa said, though in that moment she jumped towards him and wrapped her arms around her sibling, as she had missed him after seeing how Twilight's children acted, showing the rest of the watchers that Demons were capable of showing emotions as well.

As Twilight nodded, however, Aria could tell that she was annoyed, maybe even enraged, by the fact that her uncle on her mother's side had been brainwashed by Babidi, and she knew that Babidi was going to regret his life choices once she got a hold of him, causing her to wonder what might happen when they entered the ship.
