Somewhere in Rural town of America
Within a family owned diner, a man dressed in a suit and tie uniform sat alone at a table at the bar-countertop on a stool, a bowler hat was situated on his head while his face was hidden by the newspaper he held up that he was in the current process of reading. It wasn't long before one of the waitresses came to him with his order.
"As you ordered, Bacon and eggs, sug'." The female said as she slid the man his late night breakfast meal, her southern drawl and shortening of the word 'sugar' a part of her vernacular and upbringing to her vocabulary.
The man dressed in a simple uniform responded back with a simple tone of kindness, "Thank you kindly, Bethany. Just let me finish this column." He responded, his tone of voice came off wise and old, but at the same time full of energy.
'Bethany' raised her brow at the repeat customer she gets in every other month in her part of town, "We'l ya betta' hurry read'n! Your meal will get cold quick!" she warned with a dry smirk, before walking off to attend to her other customers in the diner.
The man hummed in response to the waitress's warning, but paid no heed. He flipped a page to read the next column, the front page of the newspaper he was reading, detailing a large new venture that Lexcorp was looking into.
After a minute or so, the front doors opened with a bell that dinged, allowing the waitresses to know another customer was entering. A male, and by the looks of his face, of Asian descent, walked over and sat down beside the other man that was in the midst of reading his newspaper.
The Asian man himself leaned against the countertop dress in a simple pressed business suit, his face exhibited contemplation, a thin beard framed his chin; he folded his hands together as he waited for the other man to address him first.
Finally, the man that wore a bowler hat, spoke up as he turned a page, "A bit far from your domain." he said, without any anger or annoyance, but simply an observance. "I already know why you're here, but I'm not going to do anything about it."
The Asian man's face tightened a bit, scars marred his face from a fight long ago, it still felt fresh to this very day, "He's back…and the first god he fights was Hecate! Get that Bird of yours to do his job, and rid that pink monstrosity once and for all!" He hissed in anger, his eyes stayed forward, never once glancing at the other man under a bowler hat.
The bowler hatted man however, didn't respond, save for another flip of a page of his newspaper. "She had it coming, going after him like that." He reasoned back.
The Asian man scowled, and glanced at the other man, "We're lucky at all, he hasn't yet destroyed the Earth! How can you just sit there and not do anything!?" He demanded.
The Bowler Hatted man responded with a simple relaxed tone, "I am doing something. I am sitting here, enjoying some food and reading the newspaper." He answered, earning a face palm from the Asian man.
Taking his hand off from his face, the asian man turned his head to speak more directly with the Bowler hatted man, "Majin Buu FLEW over my domain on a tree, and landed in the Himalayas. That pink monstrosity is not acting normal like his old self! Something's not right!"
The Hatted man didn't respond until he turned to another page of his newspaper, "Of course he's not acting like his old self. My little bird tore his soul out and ripped it asunder. And now a new soul was reborn in it. Perfect solution to that chaotic creature." He simply supplied, his tone of voice nonchalant.
After a round of second passed, the bowler hatted man spoke again, "How's the wife and three kids, by the way?" He asked randomly, earning a sigh from the man.
The Asian man answered with an annoyed tone, "Fine." before he stood up, straighten out his business suit, and spoke again "Majin Buu or not, that Pink monstrosity is still a threat!" He warned, before storming off and exited the diner.
After a few seconds passed, the Bowler hatted man finally folded his newspaper up, showing a middle aged face with a mustache that wasn't quite handlebar styled but the ends certainly were long and drooped down beside his mouth. He looked down at his dinner breakfast meal, and noticed his eggs and bacon were now cold.
Grumbling to himself, he set aside his newspaper and waved his hand over his plate. The next moment, his meal was fresh and hot once more, before he picked up his fork to begin eating his simple meal.
Before long, Bethany walked over to speak with the 'old man', "Who was that Asian man? Was he giving you some trouble?"
The man shook his head, and finished his bite before looking up at Bethany, "No, just an old friend from Japan." he reasoned, before he glanced down at his recently 'reheated' eggs and bacon, "He just came by to warn me about something." he mused, before he took his fork to eat some of his over-easy eggs.
Bethany expressed a confused face, her hands on her hips before she glanced where the 'asian man' disappeared off to outside, "Huh, rather odd place to meet an' ol' friend…is there something going on nearby that had him be in this ol' lil' town?" she asked, uncertain how an 'old friend' showed up out of nowhere to meet up with her repeat customer.
The Bowler hatted man swallowed his bite of eggs before responding, his gaze drew back up to her, "Something like that, but don't mind him. He's just worried about something, nothing you should worry about." he assured her, prompting Bethany to shrug.
Bethany then looked at her customer with an amused look, "But I' Hav' ta say, didn't take ya as someone that'd know more than one language!" she mused.
Her customer 'hmed' back as he took a bite of his bacon, chewed it up and swallowed his bite before answering her again, his eyes trailed back up to her from underneath his bowler hat, "I know many languages, you should give it a try." He encouraged her with a wry smile.
Bethany chortled a bit, before leaving him to his 'dinner', "I already know some hispanic, sug', I'm all good." she hollered back, before entering the kitchen to bring up the orders for her other customers.
"She's a good one." The Bowler Hatted man mused with a small smile, before he went back to eating his dinner. As he eventually finished his meal, he picked up a paper napkin to clean his mouth a bit, before he took his leave, but not without leaving the girl a tip from out of his pocket.
As the man exited the diner, he straightened his tie a bit, before walking off into the night, "Everything will be just fine, just a different place like all the others…" He mused.
Cairo
Seated atop a rooftop that allowed people to see the Pyramids of Giza from afar, a man sat alone at a table; to most, he looked like an average human being that was born and raised in Egypt, but beneath the veneer of it all, it was all a simple facade to mortals that couldn't see past it all. In illusion if you would, to hide the man's true form.
Past the illusion that mortals could not perceive with their normal eyes, was a man dressed in old traditional egyptian clothes of old, whose own head was that of a falcon.
The god of Egypt himself was currently waiting for someone, as he could tell one of the gods from Greece wanted to speak with him. It was probably Zeus or whatever other name he was going by under disguise these days. Ra himself was using one to be amongst his people of Egypt.
Ra tapped his finger against the tabletop that he sat at as he leaned his arm and elbow down against it, while he leaned back against his chair. He was honestly surprised Zeus wanted to come to his corner of the world, most of the time they usually used one of the other countries around the Sea as a pseudo ground of neutrality, but here was Zeus coming over to his country.
Zeus probably wanted to talk about the reappearance of Majin Buu in the New World, or as the humans called it these days, The United States of America. When he first felt the little chaotic mess fight Hecate, himself and his remaining children were all equally surprised that the little chaotic mess was alive again and walking on the Earth.
They're just lucky that Buu wasn't acting himself, a new soul must have reformed in that chaotic pink mess, otherwise the Majin wouldn't have functioned without one.
Something must have happened to influence Majin Buu's new soul to not be as destructive and chaotic as before like the last one, perhaps not as much negative energy to positive energy allowed a more calm soul to be reborn in it. Ra was still unsure, it was honestly all speculation on his part, since it was not him that dispatched Majin Buu's soul.
His Cosmic Raptor did the deed with nary any trouble.
Ra was soon broken out of his musings as a bearded man finally approached his table, the man himself was dressed in what was in fashion these days over in Greece; But Ra was able to see past the mortal shell that the man used, and was able to see Zeus. The God of Olympus himself.
Ra spoke as Zues pulled himself a chair out from the table to sit across from him, "You look…rather silly in that outfit." He mused, referring to the apparel he wore that was concurrent with Greece fashion.
Zeus scoffed and gestured at himself as he settled down, "The ladies in Greece say otherwise!" he rebuked, expressing a grin as he sat across from Ra.
Of course Zeus would put on such an outfit to make the ladies swoon over him.
Ra on the other hand stared at Zeus for a moment, before speaking after the brief pause, "...You usually request to meet elsewhere…what'd you do this time?" he asked, giving Zues an uncertain curious look.
Zeus coughed into his fist, he tapped his finger against the table, before a groused out, "Nothing substantial, just another heated argument I had with Hera, bringing up the past and all that." He said with a grouch in his tone.
Ra could guess many things of what the argument Zues had with his official wife, but right now, he needed to address the so-called human saying of 'the elephant in the room'. "Well besides trouble at home…" He began to say, while making a good guess why Greece had a bad very lightning storm a few days ago.
Ra sat up to speak more directly with Zeus, while earning a serious look from him in turn, "It seems a certain Pink chaotic creature is now seemingly alive and well, then had a little run in with Hecate…" he mused.
Zeus scowled a bit, before speaking, "While I'd be more cautious that Hecate is back from her sealing, it's triumphed by the fact that Majin Buu is on our planet!" he grouched, then reached up to scratched at his forehead with his index finger, "The entirety of Mount Olympus has broken into an uproar of how to deal with that menace, but the moment we look on his past history with the help of the Sisters of Fate, the little Bastard has been doing nothing but living over in the West like a mortal!"
Ra was indeed as well befuddled by the idea that the chaotic destroyer was living a simple life over in the West, but his Daughter Ma'at had expressed that perhaps it was just the universe in response to bringing order to the chaos that was Majin Buu, to bring balance to his soul.
He was also pretty sure all the other pantheons and their remaining Gods were troubled by the feeling when Hecate Fought Buu, knowing the new Hecate and the god that she was now, she most likely wanted to bring Buu down to a manageable level before she made any attempt on controlling the chaotic mess.
Only two entities were able to control Buu to some extent, one better than the other in their conquests, but that was back then, but this was now. Word has it that Trigon lost two eyes and a horn, before he was able to somehow get Majin Buu to work under him.
Then you had Darkseid that used Majin Buu in the early years of his war against New Genesis. How 'Uxas' managed to tame that chaotic creature, before he unleashed the bastard in his war, was beyond Ra's imagination.
Ra tapped his index finger for a bit against the table, before he spoke back to Zeus, "I say we keep watch." He discerned after deliberation in his mind, earning a surprised look from his fellow God.
"Have you lost it?" Zeus pointed at Ra with an incredulous gaze, "The last thing we need is that walking planet buster to accidentally toss a careless energy ball of his, and BOOM. No more Earth!" he argued with a slam of his fist into the table.
Ra crossed his arms, while tapping his finger now against his arm, "...How long has he been on Earth though?" He questioned back, earning a look of realization from Zeus.
Zeus reached up to scratch again at his scalp, before he answered, "The sisters said he's been walking around on Earth for more than a month…" he answered, earning a nod from Ra.
"I say, we keep an eye on the situation with him." Ra reasoned, making a sharp look at Zeus, "What is the human saying, don't kick a sleeping bear?" He questioned.
Zeus scoffed as he leaned against the table to lean his chin into his palm, "More like, don't poke a sleeping dragon!" he groused.
Ra nodded in agreement, before speaking up once more, "We should also warn our children on this. Calm or not. Majin Buu is not to be messed with lightly." he reasoned with Zues.
Zeus on the other hand began to scowl, "Tell that to my son Ares!" He grouched, earning a raised eyebrow from Ra, "Crazed fool won't answer my summons!"
"...he's still angry because Buu ripped his arm off, and beat him with it?" Ra questioned, making Zeus facepalm for a variety of reasons.
Sure, a god would be able to regrow their limbs back, but the dignity of Greece's war god was diminished after his arm was ripped off and used on him as a weapon.
Zeus slid his hand off from his face, before he leveled a stare at Ra, "What about your kids? Any of them planned on having it out against the pink bastard?" he questioned.
Ra offered Zeus a shrug back, while keeping his arms crossed, "Horus and Anubis were planning on doing something, before I had to rein them in, Ma'at suggested we wait till he does something, while Osiris was confused how Majin Buu came back at all." he answered, earning a nod from Zeus.
Zeus combed his fingers through his beard, before he responded, "Then we wait and watch." He reasoned, earning a nod of agreement from Ra.
"Wait and watch." Ra agreed, as so far, the worst Buu did was get into a fight with Hecate as his first fight with a god, after so many millennia.
