LAST TIME ON DRAGONBALL Z!

After a long hard fought battle, Cell’s reign of terror was finally put to an end.  Our
heroes have earned themselves a nice rest, or at least so it seemed. Have the Z fighters
really going to get a break, or is this just the calm before the storm? Find out today on
Dragonball Z!

A New Evil

Our story opens outside the Kame House. Master Roshi is asleep in his chair after
"reading" some of his "magazines".  Yamcha is standing nearby, lost in thought.

Yamcha(thinking): "Wow, I can’t believe its all finally over.  We prepared to fight the
androids for so long..... and we weren’t even ready when they finally came! If we
would’ve been ready, maybe Goku would still be here!" (out loud) It just seems so unfair!
Puar: What seems unfair Yamcha? 
Yamcha: Nothing Puar. I was just thinking about Goku. Why’d he have to die to stop
Cell? I just can’t get over it, no matter how many months its been! If we would’ve been
stronger maybe Goku wouldn’t have died!
Puar: Don’t be sad Yamcha! Goku wouldn’t want you to be!
Yamcha: Yeah, I guess you’re right Puar----Hey, what’s that?!? (Yamcha sees a bright
streak flash across the sky above him)
Puar: What was what? I didn’t see anything!
Yamcha: Maybe it was my imagination, but I could have sworn...----Wait, there’s
another one! (points at another strange streak of light across the sky) I think I’ll go check
it out.
Puar: B-but Yamcha! You can’t go! Not all by yourself!
Yamcha: Hey, I’m sure its nothing. Anyway, going to check out nothing is better than
doing nothing here. I’m probably just seeing things, but it’ll kill some time.
Puar: Be careful Yamcha!
(Yamcha flies toward where one of the streaks seemed to be headed)

Meanwhile, up at Kami’s Look Out, it apears that Yamcha isn’t the only one “seeing
things”

Dende: (sees a streak across the sky almost identical to the one Yamcha saw) Wow, what
was that?
Mr. Popo: You mean you saw it too? I was beginning to think I was going crazy. That’s
the third one I’ve seen today.
Dende: Maybe it was just a comet?
Mr. Popo: I hope so Dende.

Back with Yamcha, flying over some virtually uninhabited mountains

Yamcha(thinking): "I’m probably getting close to where that streak was. Wait, I think I
see something!" (Yamcha stops and looks down from the sky and sees a bizare looking
capsule, about the size of Trunk’s time machine; he lands a few feet away from it, behind
some rocks; no one seems to be around so he gets closer to it) Wow, I bet this is some
kind of space ship---
From behind: You would’ve won that bet. Too bad you won’t live long enough to
collecting your winnings! (laugh)
Yamcha: (turns around) Who are you? (sees he’s being talked to by some kind of blue
creature) Maybe I should be asking what are you.
Blue Creature: Maybe, maybe not. You’re not going to live long enough for it to matter;
you’ve seen far too much. Poor weak man. (forms a large ki blast in its right hand)
Goodbye now! I don’t have time to waste with you! (throws ki blast)
Yamcha leaps out of the way and lands behind some rocks
Yamcha: Hey, what was that for? We don’t have to fight!
Blue Creature: Why of course we do. I live for a great purpose, greater than us both, and
you stand in the way of it! And so you must be destroyed! (forms another ki blast) If you
surrender now I’ll make sure your end is painless!
Yamcha: If you think I’ll surrender, you’re crazy! We’ll see who meets their end!
(Powers up) KAmeHAmeHA! (shoots a kamehameha wave at the blue creature)
Blue Creature: (puzzled) What is that supposed to be? (makes no attempt to dodge; is hit
and knocked into the side of a mountain)
Yamcha: Yeah! Got him good!
Blue Creature: (climbs out of mountain, which is now somewhat smaller than it was a moment ago,
 unharmed) If thats the best you can do, this battle is a waste of my energy.

Meanwhile outside Gohan’s house

Chi Chi: Gohan! What in the world are you doing out here?!?! Why aren’t you inside
studying?
Gohan: Sorry mom, but I thought I felt some power levels. Maybe there’s a fight going
on---
Chi Chi: I DON’T CARE HOW MANY FIGHTS ARE GOING ON! YOU MARCH
UPSTAIRS RIGHT NOW AND STUDY! YOU’RE GOING TO BE A SCHOLAR
WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT! IS THAT CLEAR????
Gohan: (sighs) Yes mom. But can’t I just go see who’s power levels it is? Then I’ll go
back home and study I promise! Please?
Chi Chi: NO! I WON’T HAVE YOU GOING OUT AND GETTING YOURSELF INTO
TROUBLE! YOU GO BACK IN THE HOUSE! 
Gohan: But mom---
Chi Chi: NOW!!!!
Gohan goes back inside

And back at the mountain-range-turned-battlefield

Blue Creature: Are you quite done?
Yamcha(shocked): How can you be standing? 
Blue Creature: I have legs so why shouldn’t I be able to stand? Would you rather I sit
down and kill you?
Yamcha: You’re not going to kill me, or anyone else!
Blue Creature: Well we’ll just see about that!

Announcer: uh-oh Yamcha! It looks like you’re in for a tougher battle than you thought!
And you won’t be getting any help from Gohan! Will Yamcha be able to defeat this
strange new enemy? Stay tuned for scenes from the next episode of Dragonball Z!

Next time on DRAGONBALL Z!
Gohan and all his friends continue to enjoy a time of peace, while Yamcha continues to
fight this strange creature. But what is this creature and why has it come? All these
questions answered and more next on Dragonball Z!
