Buu: Into the Spaceship

"So, um, Babidi just lost a valuable warrior and both he and his soldier killed the two we were following... so does that mean we've stopped Buu from being revived?" Krillin asked, because without Dabura it sure seemed like the villain he and the others had been warned about had less of a chance of awakening the dangerous and ancient evil, especially since Twilight seemed annoyed about how she found her uncle.

"No. Knowing him, he's got other evil warriors waiting for us inside his ship." Shin replied, though at the same time he had to glance over at Dabura for a moment, who was talking to his sister, someone he was only now discovering the existence of, as he was worried that the Demon King might try to attack him while his guard was down, "We may have, ugh, freed his most powerful follower, but Babidi's been preparing for this day for a long time... I would be surprised if Dabura and Pui Pui were his only remaining soldiers."

"In addition to myself and Pui Pui, Babidi has the beast Yakon, a number of unwilling soldiers, and a warrior whose heart is dark that we found on this planet." Dabura said, showing everyone that he seemed to be in control of himself and that he was no longer under whatever spell had been placed upon him, which was what Towa had been ensuring even though she trusted Twilight's skills, before he held a hand out as he materialized a familiar sword, "Based on what my sister has told me over the last few minutes, most of which I'm still wrapping my head around, you should be able to take out the others without running into trouble... as long as you stop Babidi from freeing Majin Buu, anyway."

As Shin opened his mouth to say something, about the mysterious figure that Dabura had said little on, Twilight stepped into the central shaft, as it wasn't an elevator or a lift, and descended into the depths of the spaceship, finding that it took next to no time to reach the first floor, a circular room with a sealed hole right in the center of the floor and a door that Babidi's minions likely used.

"I see. So that's how he's doing things." Twilight remarked, as she noted that the chamber seemed empty, save for what she had seen so far, and all of her various designs and gadgets had lead to a simple conclusion without having to see the room in action, it was designed to siphon energy for Buu's revival, "Since we're walking into his little 'ambushes' just be warned that taking damage will hasten Buu's awakening... the walls are designed to siphon harm done to us and turn it into energy."

"Knowing that will not help you." a voice said, which was when Pui Pui opened the door, as it raised into the ceiling, and stepped into the chamber as Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Towa, Demigra, Shin, and Aria joined Twilight, meaning Kibito and the others were staying outside so they didn't get in the way, "You may have done something to Lord Demigra, but my Master will correct that mistake and take all of your energy, for the revival of Majin Buu!"

"Please, you are far too weak to be a proper challenge for me. Go fight one of them." Twilight stated, taking a moment to gesture to the Saiyans that were behind her, since she and Aria were saving their energy for either the final battle before Babidi or, and this was more likely, the battle with Buu.

Sure enough the three Saiyans played a game of rock paper scissors with each other before determining that Vegeta had the honor of fighting Pui Pui, Goku had whoever might be on the level below them, and Gohan could have whoever this mysterious warrior was, leaving Twilight and Aria for the final floor, if there were four. Pui Pui, once again, confirmed the information that Twilight had figured out in an instant, why she had no idea, as he told Vegeta that he would suffer as his energy was drained to fuel the revival of Majin Buu, before he rushed forward as he launched a kick at his foe. Vegeta, as Twilight expected, caught the attack with his hand as surprise appeared on Pui Pui's face, where he kicked and punched at the figure as Babidi's minion tried to do some form of damage to him, only he failed to do anything as Vegeta beat him up over the next few seconds. Babidi, sensing that his soldier was going to lose the fight, teleported all of them to the planet known as Zoon, which had ten times the gravity of Earth, a fact that, in fact, did not help Pui Pui in the slightest since his foe had trained far beyond that point in his own gravity chamber.

Vegeta ended up destroying Pui Pui not a few seconds later and remarked about how pitiful his match was, that he had been given the weakest foe in Babibi's crew, causing them to return to the ship as the hatch opened so they could head down to the second floor.

There they found the monster Yakon waiting for them, a deep green scaled monster that had retractable claws and a hulking body, one that seemed designed to fight in the dark based on what Twilight had seen in the past, and Babidi did the same for Yakon, moving them to a planet that benefited the monster. Their destination was the Dark Star, or, as it was more commonly called, the Planet of Darkness, a place that was essentially a place of darkness that made it impossible for visitors to see while it's inhabitants could see just fine. It was a fine place for someone like Yakon to fight in, since his old home gave him the advantage over everyone else, though even as he attacked Goku it became obvious that this wasn't a fight he could win, as the Saiyan avoided his attacks with ease before going Super Saiyan to give himself some light. Such a thing had an interesting effect, Yakon actually sucked in the light of his energy and forced Goku to revert a few seconds later, though it only prompted him to do the same thing again, causing the greedy beast to feast before detonating as he reached the maximum amount he could handle, though Twilight ensured that the energy wasn't lost as she ate it.

With all of that done, they descended to the third floor of Babidi's spaceship, where they found a fair number of fighters waiting for them to arrive, each of them baring the demonic M on their foreheads to show their allegiance to Babidi, and as they landed Twilight held a hand out to stop Gohan and the others from moving forward.

"So, you've arrived at last... demon." a familiar voice said, where one of the figures pulled back their hood and revealed the form of Ginyu to Twilight and the others, or rather it was the Demon Goddess that Ginyu had stolen the body and identity of, meaning this fight was sort of personal for her, while she found that he wore Babidi's armor and had his mark right in the center of his forehead.

"Ah, the former Demon Goddess decides to show their face again." Twilight remarked, though at the same time she did notice that the other four robed figures pulled their own hoods back, showing her that all sorts of beings had assembled to aid the figure in taking her down, allowing her to see that all of them also had Babidi's mark and armor on, "What, you here to 'kill' me again? After your last stunning failure?"

"Not quite, as we're here to stall you." the former Demon replied, something that caused the others to watch as the room was altered once more, transporting them to what appeared to be a wasteland, as if knowing that if they tried to fight her near people she'd hold back, a wrong assumption on their part, "After all, you are a Demon Goddess now... the perfect target for Babidi to take control of. With your power we'll be able to get the energy we need, as you'll fight and destroy all of your companions, regardless of who they are to you, and when you're broken and beaten from their blows, well, that's when we'll destroy you."

As the group of five spread out Twilight felt the tickle of Babidi trying to take control of the evil in her heart, which seemed to be a mental attack, though it caused her to laugh at the sheer ridiculousness of it all, that a pipsqueak thought that he could take her over, causing her to turn her head a little, glaring at Babidi even though he wasn't there, before flashing over to Ginyu.

"Wait... what the...?" the former Demon said, because the plan that had been rehearsed for this special day had been, in a matter of seconds, ruined before anyone understood what was going on, and as they came to terms with the fact that their target was stronger than ever Twilight raised her right hand.

"Disappear." Twilight stated, where she gathered her power for a second and then released a blast of energy that quickly consumed her target, erasing the original Putine and Ginyu's old body before anyone else could do anything to stop her, all while she knew that Babidi had to be surprised by this turn of events.

Of course she made sure to extract her target's energy as they were destroyed, as to not waste anything, though while the smoke cleared from the explosion, confirming that the former Demon Goddess was no more, she found that Shin was, of course, surprised by her power, which Dabura shared since this was his first time watching her fight. In the next instant all of the other controlled warriors moved, where she found that three were male and one was female, the latter wield a pair of tainted blades that had a red coloration to them, who wore black cloth clothing that made it easy for her to move. The other three were from different worlds entirely, as one had large muscles and seemed to be capable of changing the size of his body, another seemed more insect like with an eye in the center of his chest, and the last one could pass as a living suit of armor that looked like it was a ninja or something. Her next target was the lady with blades, who had added a bit of energy to the edges, but, before it even got close to her, Twilight could tell that her attack was weak and it was far too easy for her to siphon the energy out as she stopped the blade with a finger, which ended with her charging some energy into her fist before swinging.

Her attack obliterated the warrior before she even knew what had hit her, creating a gash in the ground in the process as all of her remaining foes, where the size changing warrior enlarged to a massive form, similar to the Saiyan Oozaru form, and declared that he was going to kill her as he swung his fist down at her, crushing the area around the impact zone as Twilight landed on his fist.

"A pity." Twilight remarked, where she shifted her stance and blasted the giant's fist off without destroying everything that was around her, causing the giant warrior to pull back as he grabbed at his stump, causing her to spin around and kick at his left leg, crushing part of it as he staggered, before she loosed a blast into his chest area that expanded and blasted him into oblivion, leaving nothing of him behind.

As the smoke died down the insect warrior rushed at her, showing that he was faster than most of the others, but he was far too weak for her to really put forth even a little bit of effort as she avoided his attacks, while his companion used a few fire attacks to try and take her down, causing her to group them up and waste them with a single blast, ending Babidi's attempt to take her down.

"You might as well give up, Babidi, you picked the wrong opponent... wasn't even a worthwhile workout." Twilight said, as the warriors that were sent to deal with her were worthless, minor evils in the grand scheme of things, and if Babidi's spell had the power to awaken one's inner potential it didn't do much for these five warriors.

She then discovered that Babidi had one more trick up his sleeve, where he used his power on Vegeta, of all people, who seemed to struggle for a few seconds before powering up to his Super Saiyan 2 form, complete with the Majin Mark on his forehead, before they were teleported back to the tournament's ring. It looked like the tournament was over, Mr. Satan had won by the looks of it, though Twilight could tell that 18 must have given him his victory in exchange for a reward so he could keep being the World Champion, since she didn't seem to be interested in fame or glory. Vegeta, having used this opportunity to regain a good chunk of his evil nature, tried to blast the arena and kill the assembled watchers to get the attention of his true target, Goku, but Twilight devoured the attack, cast a spell to make most of the people forget what had just happened, and then hijacked Babidi's spell to teleport them to somewhere else. Her chosen destination was one of the many wastelands of the world, far away from everything else, and once they were in position she waved her hand for a second and the two Saiyans departed without her saying anything.

With that done Twilight focused her magic once more and her group returned to Babidi's ship, as it was time for her and Aria to head down and see if they could either stop Buu from being released or, if that failed, obliterate him before more harm came to the rest of the universe.
