==Summary==
==Summary==
Steam is shooting up from Majin Buu’s ball, and Kaiōshin tells Gohan they should run away. Gohan says he can’t leave things like this, but Kaiōshin insists that not even Gohan could win against Majin Buu. Babidi is excited, and Kaiōshin yells at Gohan to hurry. But Gohan thinks he should attack now, and then powers up a bit. Gohan fires a ''Kamehameha'' at the ball, which Babidi and Dabra barely manage to avoid. The impact is tremendous and the ball is knocked from its platform. It rolls a little, until it cracks open. But... it’s empty. Babidi can’t believe it, and Kaiōshin thinks this is really lucky, and begins lecturing Babidi about Majin Buu having been asleep for too long. Dabra tells Babidi to cheer up, as he’s still there, and he even has control of Vegeta, sort of.
[[Bobbidi]] suggests they all return to the surface, as [[Majin Boo]] will soon be at full power and might destroy the [[Bobbidi's Ship|ship]] when he emerges from his ball. [[Shin|Kaiōshin]] agrees, even though he will not allow that to happen. "Papparapah!!" They are suddenly transported outside, along with Majin Boo's ball. Bobbidi asks [[Dabra]] if he can defeat that Earthling, and Dabra says there is no doubt. [[Gohan]] remembers his [[Son Goku|father's]] words and tries getting angry as he turns [[Super Saiyan]]. Bobbidi says he will not be done in like [[Bibbidi|Papa]], as he has greater magic power than Papa, and Dabra is here this time. Suddenly the meter on Majin Boo's ball begins beeping, and Bobbidi looks down to see that it is already full. Bobbidi is extremely elated with excitement.


Kaiōshin takes note of the near equal fight between Goku and Vegeta. He’ll take down Babidi, and if Gohan can defeat Dabra, all of Babidi’s evil ambitions will be gone. Gohan disagrees, however, and says a tremendous ''ki'' is swelling up. He looks into the sky, and the smoke from the ball is collecting into one big cloud. Everyone watches in awe, as the smoke begins to take shape. And then Majin Buu appears!
Kaiōshin cannot believe Goku has already taken so much damage. Gohan realizes it must be because his father and [[Vegeta]] are likely both fighting at the level well [[Super Saiyan 2|beyond Super Saiyan]], and so the damage must be incredible. Meanwhile, Goku takes a punch to the face, and then Vegeta takes a punch to the face. The two of them clash, and a cloud of smoke builds up around them. [[Trunks]] and [[Goten]] wonder if those incredible ''[[Ki|ki]]'' belong to their dads. Trunks wonders what is actually going on, since their locations keep changing.
 
Goku and Vegeta break, and catch their breath. Goku says they are equals, and figures Vegeta has trained even more than he did. "No... You may think I had special training better than yours, but you're a genius far greater than I. That difference has never changed. ...I knew it. When you were fighting the [[Yakon|monster]] that Bobbidi sent... It was a shock... So I secretly decided then..." Goku realizes what he means. "Yeah. People who knew the [[Yamu|two]] [[Spopovitch|henchmen]] of Bobbidi's at the [[Tenka'ichi Budōkai|Budōkai]] said they had gotten much stronger than before. I remembered that, and I thought it out. 'If I were under his control, the difference with you would be gone'... That's how it was. I resorted to something I didn't like..."
 
Goku asks if the pride-filled Vegeta would really let himself be controlled just because he wanted to get strong? "I... I... I wanted to return to my former self!!!! I wanted to return to the cruel and cold-hearted [[Saiyan]] that didn't care about anything, and fight you thoroughly!!!! I didn't like it... Without realizing it, I was influenced by you all. I became calm... I even had a family... It didn't feel bad. I grew to like this snug little [[Earth]]... S-So, I let Bobbidi control me. ...I needed to return to my original evil self... Because of this, I now feel really good..." Goku wonders if that is really true, as smoke starts to shoot up from Majin Boo's ball.

Summary

Bobbidi suggests they all return to the surface, as Majin Boo will soon be at full power and might destroy the ship when he emerges from his ball. Kaiōshin agrees, even though he will not allow that to happen. "Papparapah!!" They are suddenly transported outside, along with Majin Boo's ball. Bobbidi asks Dabra if he can defeat that Earthling, and Dabra says there is no doubt. Gohan remembers his father's words and tries getting angry as he turns Super Saiyan. Bobbidi says he will not be done in like Papa, as he has greater magic power than Papa, and Dabra is here this time. Suddenly the meter on Majin Boo's ball begins beeping, and Bobbidi looks down to see that it is already full. Bobbidi is extremely elated with excitement.

Kaiōshin cannot believe Goku has already taken so much damage. Gohan realizes it must be because his father and Vegeta are likely both fighting at the level well beyond Super Saiyan, and so the damage must be incredible. Meanwhile, Goku takes a punch to the face, and then Vegeta takes a punch to the face. The two of them clash, and a cloud of smoke builds up around them. Trunks and Goten wonder if those incredible ki belong to their dads. Trunks wonders what is actually going on, since their locations keep changing.

Goku and Vegeta break, and catch their breath. Goku says they are equals, and figures Vegeta has trained even more than he did. "No... You may think I had special training better than yours, but you're a genius far greater than I. That difference has never changed. ...I knew it.
