Dragonball Mae: The Early Years

Mae's despair

Krillin and Piccolo watched as Vegeta's energy surged. "He's going to die!" Krillin said.

"I can't let him do this!" Piccolo said as he tried to save the saiyan.

"Piccolo stop! If you go you will die too. You said yourself that Vegeta is doing this for someone other than himself. He needs this." Krillin said.

Elsewhere, Bulma and the others were trying to gather the dragon balls to revive the people Vegeta killed. "I fear something has happened to Vegeta." Bulma said softly clutching her chest.

"Bulma, I don't think Vegeta would have done that. I think they must have done something to him." Roshi said.

"Vegeta." Bulma whispered as she looked out the window.

As the light faded Vegeta fell to the earth nothing but a stone statue. When he hit the ground he shattered into dust. The saiyan prince was gone. Piccolo handed the boys to Krillin. "I'm going to check things out."

"You think Majin Buu is still alive?" Krillin asked.

"Probably not, but just in case you need to take the boys and tell everyone what happened." Piccolo said. "We don't know what happened to Goku or Mae but Vegeta said that Gohan was killed by Majin Buu."

"What?! Gohan is dead too?!" Krillin was astonished. "If Mae is alive you really want me to tell her that both Vegeta and Gohan are gone?!"

"Yes." Piccolo nodded as he flew off.

"She will kill me." Krillin stammered. "Why me? I think I would rather face Majin Buu."

"I can't feel anything." Piccolo said as he came up on the crater. "Vegeta really went out with a bang." He landed and started walking around looking for any signs of life. He saw pink bits laying around. "Majin Buu must be in a thousand pieces now. I see why you did what you did, he would have regenerated. This was the only way to end Buu. At least your sacrifice wasn't in vain." Piccolo continued, "I used to be selfish like you. It wasn't until Gohan's love changed me. You changed too, through Mae's love. Goodbye my friend."

"Please help me." Babidi choked from where Piccolo had left him.

"I'm surprised you are still alive." Piccolo glared at the wizard.

"Help me!" Babidi begged.

"Why should I? You are the reason for all of this. To get help you must give help. I doubt you have helped anyone but yourself your entire life." Piccolo crossed his arms.

"I don't need a lecture. I need help!" Babidi snapped.

Suddenly the pink pieces started to move and join together. "He's still alive?!" Piccolo gasped as he watched Majin Buu reform. Piccolo turned and ran, he needed to get as far away from here as he could. He didn't even wait for Majin Buu to be completely reformed. "I don't think Goku or Mae can defeat that monster!"

"Majin Buu help me! Help your master!" Babidi ordered.

"Hmmm," Buu pondered looking down at the wizard. "Buu no can help."

"What do you mean?!" Babidi snapped. "I order you to fix me!"

"Buu no help! Buu no help!" Majin Buu began to sing.

"Listen if you don't help me then no one can wake you up if you get sealed up again!" Babidi reminded him.

"Hmm. Okay then." Buu said as a beam came out of his antenna fully healing his master. "You all better now."

"Thank you Majin Buu." Babidi said as he stood up. "Now let's go cause some destruction. Then we can get our revenge on those foolish meddlers!" Babidi laughed.
