Dende reminds them that if the 3 wishes are used now, the Balls can't be used for a full year. So, Goku decides to teleport, but has trouble finding Bulma's ki. At Capsule Corp., Shenlon has appeared, and asks what the 3 wishes are. In the city, people act like they've never seen the sky go black before, and Beederu can't believe that she's looking at the towering dragon. Bulma can't figure out what to say, and Yamcha asks Shenlon if "Resurrect the people killed today" is ok, adding "don't bother with the evil ones." Shenlon replies "one down, two to go."
Goku arrives, and swears about being too late. The group is surprised to see him, and Goku telepathically tells Dende that one wish was already made. Dende answers that if Shenlon only fulfills one wish before departing, the other two can be made after 4 months. So, Goku has Dende tell Krillin not to bother travelling to meet Bulma and company. The hero also bids Shenlon farewell; the dragon says "bye-bye" and the Balls fly away in separate directions. Yamcha wants to know why Goku did this. And, riding on Buu's back, Babi-di wonders why the sky was black just a few moments ago. At the blast site, Kibit is surprised to find that he's not dead anymore after having been killed by Darbura. [The above wording of the wish was enough to keep Vegeta and Darbura from being resurrected.] Babi is riding on Buu's back, plotting his revenge. Kibit is searching for Kaiou-shin, and rushes off to help him. Kaiou-shin, meanwhile, is stumbling through the woods, muttering that Gohan is still barely alive; then the Kaiou's strength gives out and he collapses. Kibit arrives in time and saves the god by pumping energy into him. The two wonder how Kibit could be alive, then rush to save Gohan (Kaiou-shin can not allow Gohan to die.) They brood about Buu's evil having been released from the ship, but Kaio-shin feels that the Super Saiya-jin, and especially Gohan, have a good chance of defeating Buu. Kibit locates Gohan, and the god wants Kibit to take the boy to "Kaiou-shin-kai," to restore his power there. Kibit is astonished that a human would be brought there, and the god angrily states that they have to hurry. The three teleport out. At Kami-sama's palace, people are talking about bringing in Tenshinhan, Bulma's parents, and various livestock. Chi Chi wonders where Gohan and Goten are, and Bulma asks the same of Trunks and Vegeta. Krillin panics, and Goku states that while the young boys are safe, Gohan and Vegeta are dead. Chi Chi faints, and Bulma yells out, crying. Then, the voice of Babi-di can be heard speaking to everyone telepathically. Babi is disturbing the peace in his search for "3 idiots."
People wonder what's happening, and the magician presents an image of Trunks, Goten, and Piccolo. Piccolo swears, and Babi demands that the three come forth. This doesn't happen right away, so to demonstrate the awesome power of the frightening soldier Babi-di, the magician introduces the frightening Magical Being Buu. Then, Buu picks on the nearest town, because the "3 idiots" don't come forth. Piccolo panics as Babi commands Buu to kill everyone in town. Buu levitates the townspeople, and Goku wonders what the point is. Buu turns everyone into candy, and eats them. Babi proceeds to threaten the rest of the world. Babi is commenting on the fact that there are no survivors, and he orders Buu to make things more tidy -- which the monster does, by blowing the city flat. Babi then telepaths out that he wants the three idiots, but gets no response. So, Earth will be de-peopled in 5 days. However, he adds that anyone that wants to contact him just has to concentrate. If he gets a lead on where to find the three, the informer will be spared. Very quickly, one of the Tenkai-ichi judges responds, giving out the names "Piccolo", "Trunks", and "Goten".
But, since the judge doesn't have the three idiots' addresses, the names alone mean nothing. Babi makes the judge's head explode. Then, because he's a busy little maniac, he and Buu zip off to eradicate mankind over the next 5 days. Piccolo wants to leave to stop the evil two, but Goku states that Piccolo will just get killed quickly. Then there won't be anyone to train the two boys on how to do Fusion. Everyone else will then die, and there'll be no one left to use the Dragon Balls to resurrect people. The demon gives in. Meanwhile, on Kaioushin-kai, a small planet in the Other World (heaven) surrounded by many other planets, Kibit heals the almost-but-not-quite-dead Gohan. The boy asks where he is, and assumes that he must be dead.
Kaiou-shin corrects him, and then Gohan asks how Kibit came to be alive -- Kibit doesn't know. The big guy then asks why a human was brought to their home -- Kaiou-shin replies that Gohan is going to be given the Zet Sword. Kibit goes ballastic, demanding to know why such a marvelous item is to be defiled by being handled by a non-Kaiou-shin. However, the big guy was dead before, and couldn't see how powerful Gohan is. As the three fly off, Gohan comments that this is a nice planet, and Kibit is ordered to give the boy a new set of clothing (this is done by magic, and Gohan is now dressed like a Kaiou-shin, inluding the earrings.) He's not so impressed by the image change.
They arrive at a butte, where the Zet Sword is embedded in the rock. The little god states that all he knows is that no one has been able to pull the sword out of the rock, and Gohan comments that by the looks of the thing, it's been in place for a very long time. Back at the palace, Goten and Trunks are now awake, and crying over hearing that Vegeta had died. Goku tells them to stop, and that they are about to be taught a new techique for defeating Babi-di and Buu. Because he doesn't have much time left (his 24 hours on Earth are about to run out) he wants them to begin now. Gohan is asking what the sword can do, and Kibit answers "give strength." Maybe enough to defeat Buu. Gohan is uncertain, and Kibit is worried that the boy is too weak. Kaiou-shin tells him to just watch, and Gohan to get started. The boy strains away, and just roughs his hands up on the hilt. Kibit is satisfied at being proved right, but Gohan switches to Super Saiya-jin mode and tries again. Kibit expects the same results. Kaiou-shin is smug as Kibit states that this is pointless, only another Kaiou-shin can free the sword. Gohan then pulls the blade out, with Kaiou-shin cheering and Kibit acting really stunned. Back on normal ground, Gohan is in normal mode, but having lots of trouble weilding the heavy sword. Gohan wonders if Buu can really be defeated using this sword, and Kibit impatiently answers "of course." Gohan then asks Kibit to take the sword, because it's really heavy. The sword smashes to the ground, and Kibit fails to pick it back up. Embarrassed, Kibit bellows out that Gohan still has to do a lot of training to be able to use the sword properly. Back at Kami-sama's, Goku is explaining a bit more about "Fusion." Piccolo isn't happy that the technique is only good for 30 minutes, but the dead one states that 30 minutes is all that's needed, since the two boys are already so strong.
However, Trunks and Goten just glower. They're angry that Goku wasn't around, or was too weak, to keep Gohan and Vegeta from dying. Piccolo is outraged, but Goku says it's ok, and adds that with Fusion, the two boys can get revenge for Gohan's and Vegeta's deaths. The two boys ponder this situation, but are interrupted by Babi-di's telepathic message. Babi still hasn't heard from the 3 idiots, and is announcing the imminent destruction of the very big city he's just found. The cityfolk are panicking, and some have sighted Buu floating in the air. Trunks is trying to figure out what's happening, Goten tells him to close his eyes -- they can watch Buu that way; and Piccolo advises them that it's better to NOT watch. Babi happily continues that the three still haven't surfaced, so Buu is going to get permission to turn the people into chocolate. Buu hungrily does this, to the shock of the two boys. Babi then states that Buu has just filled his belly with chocolate. They're about to look for the next city, when Trunks and Goten call out to the two villians. Trunks threatens them, while Piccolo wants the conversation to stop before their location is revealed. Babi is trying to figure out where his prey is, and yells for them to come out. Goku asks if they want to learn Fusion, and Trunks and Goten resolutely agree to it. Goku tells Trunks and Goten that there's no time, and that they should switch to Super Saiya-jin mode. They do so, and Goku tells them to up the power. Trunks and Goten act smug, and go full on. Piccolo is surprised at the force, but Goku continues. He notes that Trunks is a little stronger, so he tells the boy to power down just a little, to match up with Goten. Trunks does this, but complains that it's difficult. Goku is satisfied, so they go back to normal. Trunks complains about Goten not being as strong, and Goku comments that Trunks is one year older than Goten. He gets ready to describe more of the process of achieving Fusion, but is interrupted by Babi-di.
The wizard has learned that Trunks lives in Capsule Corp., in the western province. Babi wants Trunks to come forth, or the city will be destroyed. Trunks fumes, and Bulma rages over the imminent death of her parents. Goku replies that the Dragon Balls can bring them back, but Piccolo rebutts this, stating that with one wish down to bring back a whole bunch of people, they can't use the same wish twice. Bulma caps it off stating that the Balls have dispersed, and the only way to find them again is with the Dragon Radar, which is located in Capsule Corp. Goku decides to have Trunks rush home to get the Radar, while he himself will delay Buu. Trunks asks if this is safe, and Goku replies that he only has to delay the enemy for a short time. Goku teleports out, and Trunks runs off wondering if this is really a good idea. Meanwhile, holding precariously to Buu's cape, Babi-di is berating the monster for nearly dropping him on its way to the target site. Buu is getting annoyed with Babi, but has to screech to a halt to avoid smashing into Goku.
The hero greets them with "Yo." Babi realizes that Vegeta hadn't killed Goku, and the hero answers that Vegeta and he share the same goal of stopping Buu. Babi and Buu are amused, and Babi asks where the three victims are. Goku won't tell him, adding that one of them is his son.
He wants to make a deal; the three will show up if Babi and Buu will only wait a bit (similar to the arrangement that led up to the Cell Game.) With a little delay, Babi will have the fun of watching a great battle, that will include Goku. Babi likes the idea, but Buu is acting bored. Goku tries to drive a wedge between the two, by asking Buu if it likes being Babi's minion. Buu is thinking along similar lines, and Babi threatens to reseal Buu. The monster is becoming more talkative, and gives a veiled threat to Babi. Babi is starting to sweat, but Buu also wants to fight Goku right now. Goku resigns himself to doing some premature combat, while Babi telepaths to everyone on Earth that Buu is about to fight an enemy. Goku powers up. Goten and Piccolo are watching with their mind's eye. Some distance away, Trunks stops, feeling that Goku's power level is about the same as his father's was.
Babi is saying that this is useless, as Vegeta's resistance was also futile. Goku replies that he is about to go beyond the stage of being beyond Super Saiya-jin. Piccolo is listening in to Goku's conversation with Babi-di and Buu, and he's repeating the bit about "beyond the beyond Super Saiya-jin." Babi just says "what are you babbling about, beyond the beyond "Super"... whatever it was." Goku realizes that Trunks has stopped moving, and he quietly urges the boy to keep going, since he'll be fine here with Buu. Trunks disagrees, so Goku yells at him to go get the Radar. Startled, Trunks gets moving again, while Babi is confused, wondering who this guy is talking to. Buu can't see anyone, either. Babi doesn't really care, because whatever it is, it's powerless against him. Goku resigns himself to doing a stalling tactic, and powers down. Buu asks if Goku is giving up, but the hero replies that since they don't know anything about Saiya-jin (and Babi isn't interested in knowing any more,) he's going to show them a sample.
Goku switches to Super Saiya-jin 1, and his hair turns golden. Beyond Super Saiya-jin, is SSJ 2 -- his face becomes leaner, and his hair looks more spikey. Babi still isn't impressed, but Goku starts taking the next step. Krillin is rooting for him (Krillin, Kame-sennin, Yamcha, and Videl are all shown at Kami-sama's palace, listening in with their eyes closed.) Goku starts yelling, pushing himself harder. Kaiou-sama is pushing for Goku as well. The force of the energy is blowing against Buu and Babi, and Piccolo is stunned at the level of power. Goku's hair is already growing down to his shoulderblades. And, in the mountains of (probably) Tibet, Tenshinhan is wondering what Goku is trying to do. There is a bright flash, and the Ultimate Goku is now looking at the enemy with a mean glare; his bulky hair at least waist length, and his face is now more menacing, and dominated by heavy eyebrow ridges. The aura around him is crackling. There are a number of surprised reactions, and Goku states that this is "Super Saiya-jin 3." Kame-sennin, Kibit, and Gohan can't believe that this is Goku, but Kaiou-shin claims that this awesome energy is really coming from the hero. Gohan wonders what has happened to his father. Buu says that the guy's face has just gotten a little bit scary. But, not much.
Babi refuses to be impressed at the "Super whatever-it-is-you-said 3." He hides behind Buu, issuing threats against the world. Buu is pumping his arms, ready to fight. And, Goku zips in, grabs the monster by the top-knot, and bashes it around. Buu replies with a few energy balls that Goku bats away. Now, Babi is getting scared, and Buu is about to get more serious. Goku is noticing that Buu hasn't taken any real damage, and he understands what Vegeta had been facing. Buu attacks with an enlongated arm, punching Goku in the face. The hero and the monster both grin at each other. Meanwhile, Kaiou-sama is yelling that enough's enough. He wants Gokuu to run away to teach the two boys about Fusion.
end.
