Dragonball: Unforgotten

Chapter 44

A/N: I remembered the last part of the last chapter different than what actually happened. Let's pretend that Videl had been paralyzed too. And 'you' were either in the bathroom at the time of the reveal for the supreme Kai or just didn't give a shit because this would be the first time you'd heard about a 'kai'.

To those who are waiting for Goku's name to be called out...well, I've got different scenes planned for that. Lol. I'll work in whichever one feels natural at the time. But if you guys want to tell me what you'd think would be awesome I'll definitely take it into consideration.

Dragonball: Unforgotten

Chapter Forty-four

You watched the exchange between Gohan and Videl as she asked to go with him. She seemed so earnest that it was nice to see; her voice was filled with concern and rightfully so. Just a moment ago Gohan had been laying down and not moving. That was not a state that either you or Videl were used to seeing him in. Plus you liked her nerve as she threatened to follow him anyway. As for you there was pretty much no way that you were staying behind. You had a bone to pick with the funny colored people that let him get stabbed - even if one of them had healed him - as well as the people who stabbed him to drain his energy. And judging by the fact that Gohan didn't look surprised in the least as you joined him and Videl in the air you knew that he understood you weren't in the mood to argue.

"You didn't have to give me your energy," Gohan said, the wind whipping around his body.

"How was I supposed to know that the pink one was a healer?" You asked, not really caring that said 'pink one' was right there. He was one of the reasons Gohan had been stabbed and drained dry to begin with. "Besides if I need the energy back, I'll just eat a snickers."

You had intended for that to be a joke. However it seemed that Gohan was not in a laughing mood. Nor was Videl. You looked to the side to see Videl looking very serious; she was concentrating quite a lot to be able to keep up at this speed. Considering that she really only started to learn how to use Ki within the last month it was still amazing.

"So, big guy, can you tell us what's happening?" Gohan called over to the pink one.

"My name is Kibito," he started off with. "And yes, I can. Long ago, when humankind was still in its infancy, there was a wizard from a distant universe. His name was Bibidi. He created a monster named Majin Buu. Together the two of them destroyed hundred of planets, wiping out entire galaxies. Majin Buu's power was so enormous that nothing could stop him. Back then there had been five grand kais...when they went to try and stop him, only one survived. Eventually the great wizard Bibidi began to have a hard time control the monster. He sealed him with a spell inside of a vessel whenever he wanted to rest. Majin Buu would lay dormant sealed inside this ball until the counterspell was invoked. Bibidi used this spell to transport him from planet to planet. The ball was brought here. The Earth was intended to be Majin Buu's next target."

"That's terrible," Gohan said with a sort of detached fear.

You had to agree. You rather liked Earth. Out of the two planets that you remember being on, Earth was by far your favorite. Cheeseburgers, chocolate...what's not to love?

"Obviously this plan was prevented. But the ball that contains Majin Buu remains here on Earth until this day. And yes, the supreme kai could have destroyed him. He chose to leave him hidden."

"What? Why?" You asked in a sort of shocked state.

If they knew that this creature was evil, that it would destroy and destroy, what sense was it to leave it alive? It wasn't like there should have been any doubts by that point. It killed galaxies! And while you weren't sure what the grand kais actually were you were pretty sure that if there had only been 5 of them in existence then killing 4 of them was a big deal. It made no sense to you that they would leave the creature asleep when they knew that a day it might awaken may come in the future.
