After seeing that Piccolo had taken care of all the remaining enemies, Rayden and the others flew down from the mountain and landed beside him.
Piccolo pointed in the direction where Babidi had just fled and said solemnly, "Rayden, it seems that Majin Buu is inside this spaceship."
Rayden nodded with a calm expression.
Without any hesitation, the group entered the ominous, towering spaceship. As soon as they stepped inside, several armed guards confronted them with weapons raised.
"Who are you?!" one of them barked coldly.
Rayden didn't even bother responding. He raised his right hand, and in his palm, a glowing circular disc of energy began to form. Without warning, he hurled it forward.
"Cutting Disc."
"Ahh—!"
The screams of the soldiers echoed throughout the ship as the disc sliced through them effortlessly, cutting them clean in half.
Rayden then redirected the disc, using it to cut through the interior of the spaceship. The sharp blade of energy carved a massive hole from the top deck all the way to the lower levels.
"Let's go. Majin Buu is at the bottom," he instructed as he jumped down into the darkness below.
Everyone followed close behind, landing together in the eerie, metallic chamber below.
"Rayden, there's no one here?" Son Goku asked, scanning the empty room in confusion.
Rayden pointed toward a massive dome-shaped object nestled in the center of the chamber. "Goku, that's Majin Buu."
"An egg?"
Everyone looked around the strange structure again, puzzled. There was nothing obviously threatening about it.
Rayden turned his head and shouted, "Trunks! Goten! You two get over here right now!"
Not far away, the two young Saiyans flinched.
"Goten, what should we do?" Trunks asked, scratching his head nervously.
"I think we've been found out," Goten replied with a bitter smile. "We better go."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
With two gusts of wind, the boys appeared before Rayden.
"Goten, why are you here? Weren't you supposed to be watching the tournament with your mother?" Son Goku asked, puzzled.
Goten grinned sheepishly. "Well, you guys flew off suddenly. We figured something fun was happening, so we followed."
Rayden chuckled lightly. "It's fine."
From his storage ring, he pulled out a cosmic information map labeled with details from Universe 12. He scanned the document for a moment before nodding.
"Ah, found it. The Supreme Kai of Universe 7... is located here."
Everyone looked at him curiously.
"Everyone, grab onto me," Rayden instructed.
Broly tilted his head. "Rayden, are we going somewhere?"
"I'm taking you to a very interesting place," Rayden said with a smile.
That immediately sparked interest among the group. They all gathered around and put their arms on one another's shoulders, forming a tight group.
Even Supreme Kai Shin and Jebit were curious about Rayden's plan, so they too placed a hand on Son Goku's back.
Rayden placed his hand on the strange dome-like egg, then closed his eyes and activated Instant Transmission.

Supreme Kai's World
Swish!
In the blink of an eye, Rayden and the others appeared in the lush, sacred land of the Supreme Kai World.
"What the—?!" Jebit gasped. "You... you actually came to the Supreme Kai World?!"
He was stunned. Ever since Shin had become the Supreme Kai, no one—not mortals, not even most gods—had set foot here.
Ignoring the shocked stares, Rayden placed his hand back on the egg and began injecting energy into it.
Suddenly—
Crack!
The dome split in two with a loud fracture.
Everyone peered inside.
It was empty.
Son Goku scratched his head. "Rayden, this egg's probably gone bad, huh? Maybe it's been sealed too long."
Before anyone could respond, a strange pink mist began to seep out of the broken shell.
The air turned heavy as an evil aura radiated from the fog. The energy grew darker, denser. The mist thickened, taking shape—forming a pink, rounded sphere.
Then—Bang!—the sphere burst outward, sprouting limbs and a head.
"Ma… Majin Buu," Supreme Kai Shin stammered, his whole body trembling at the sight.
Standing before them was a bizarre creature with pink skin, a wide round belly, and a seemingly harmless face. His upper body was bare, and he wore baggy white pants and dark brown boots. His wrists were wrapped in gold-trimmed guards, and a short tentacle extended from the crown of his head. His small eyes barely opened, and he had a dopey smile plastered on his fat face.
Rayden gazed at him calmly, then looked down at the two boys standing beside him.
"Goten, Trunks. I'll leave this big guy to you."
Majin Buu suddenly puffed air out of the vent on his head and yelled, "How dare you call me a fat b*****d!"
His voice twisted with rage as he charged.
"I'm mad now! I'm going to kill you!"
"Drink! Aah!"
Trunks and Goten roared as golden light engulfed them. Their hair turned spiky and blonde, their eyes teal—both had transformed into Super Saiyan 1.
The two leapt in front of Rayden, blocking Majin Buu's charge.
The battle broke out immediately.
Trunks and Goten worked like a perfect duo. When Buu attacked, one blocked while the other charged up energy and retaliated.
Boom!
A direct blast hit Majin Buu's chest, punching a massive hole clean through him.
"Ahhh!!"
Majin Buu screamed but quickly regenerated, his flesh twisting and sealing up the damage.
"Now I'm really angry!"
He roared and charged again, even faster than before.

Meanwhile, Rayden turned toward Supreme Kai Shin and asked, "Supreme Kai, where is your Supreme Kai Sword?"
"You… you know about the Supreme Kai Sword?" Shin asked, shocked.
"What's that?" Goku asked, tilting his head. The others looked equally confused.
Jebit explained excitedly, "The Supreme Kai Sword is a sacred weapon passed down through generations. It's said that whoever pulls it out will gain the strongest power in the entire universe!"
Vegeta's eyes lit up. "Rayden, is that true?"
Rayden shrugged casually. "Nope. It's a lie."
"What?!" Shin protested. "That's a sacred legend of the gods!"
Rayden waved off the argument. "Just tell me where the sword is."
Shin reluctantly replied, "On a small hill to the east."
Rayden turned to the group. "So... anyone want to pull it out?"
"I'll do it!" Vegeta immediately raised his hand. "Rayden's lying. I know it'll give me power!"
Rayden laughed. "Alright then, Vegeta. Go pull it out—and bring it back with you."
Vegeta wasted no time. He blasted into the air, heading east.
Jebit looked worried. "Lord Supreme Kai, let's follow him!"
A few minutes passed.
Swish!
Vegeta returned via Instant Transmission with Shin and Jebit beside him, holding the sword triumphantly.
Son Goku grinned. "Vegeta! Did you get stronger? Did the legend come true?"
Vegeta's eye twitched. "It's fake. I pulled it out easily, but I don't feel any stronger at all!"
He was furious. If Rayden hadn't asked him to bring it back, he might've snapped it in half on the spot.
Shin and Jebit were stunned. "The legend… was false all along?"
Rayden smirked mysteriously. "The sword is fake… but what's inside it isn't."
"What do you mean?" Piccolo asked.
"There's a person sealed inside the sword. That person can unlock your hidden potential."
"A person? In the sword?" everyone gasped.
"How do we get him out?" Goten asked.
Rayden shrugged. "Break it."
Without hesitation, Vegeta surged his energy and bent the sword backward until—Crack!—it snapped in two.
Broly looked around. "Uh... Rayden? I don't see anyone."
Suddenly, a voice echoed behind them.
"Are you talking about me?"
They all turned in shock.
Son Goku's eyes widened. "You… aren't you the old Supreme Kai?!"
"Oh? I didn't expect anyone to recognize me," said the elderly figure, clasping his hands behind his back.
Shin and Jebit were stunned.
"You… you're the Supreme Kai from fifteen generations ago!" Shin exclaimed.
"That's right," the old man said with a sly smile. "I'm your ancestor. The Supreme Kai of the 15th generation."
He nodded sagely. "Long ago, a powerful warrior fought me in a duel. We battled fiercely for three hundred rounds. When he couldn't defeat me, he resorted to dirty tricks and sealed me in that sword."
He let out a long sigh.
"And I've been stuck in there ever since."
