Last time on Dragonball Z!!

Announcer: As Android 17 continues his search for Nano, Vegeta has already found her
and as they fight, the advantage clearly belongs to him. But what’s this?? Wishnik caught
in the crossfire?? Plus the Ambassador has arrived and is ready to pick up where the
injured Nano left off. But not before giving some startling orders; "Find the
Dragonballs"?!? What else can go wrong? How will our heroes survive? Find out today
on Dragonball Z!

So His Name is Slap

(Gohan, Tien, and Yamcha are still attempting to deal with the small drone raining ki
blasts on them from above; they’ve taken cover behind some rocks; the rocks are being
quickly destroyed by the machine)
Yamcha: I don’t know about you guys, but I can’t take much more of this!!
Tien: I know! And every time I try to throw an attack at it, I either get knocked over or it
bounces back. It must have some kind of force field!
Yamcha: Awww man! Hey, where’s Gohan???
Tien: I don’t know! I lost site of him a while ago when we started trying to lure the blasts
away from his house. (The last of the rocks they were speaking behind begin to break up)
Yamcha: Guess its time to start dodging again.
Tien: Wait, I have one more thing to try. See if you can direct that thing’s fire for a
minute.
Yamcha: Are you crazy man??? We’ll both get fried!
Tien: Not if I time this right. (puts his hands in a position to do the solar flare attack) I
just need to get a little bit off the ground.
Yamcha: Right. (starts to do an attack) Ka-me-ha-me-HA! (the kamehameha wave flies at
the hovering robot; it dodges it with ease, but to dodge its attacks had to stop for half a
second. Tien makes his move)
Tien: SOLAR FLARE!!! (the light is blinding; the robot seems disabled for the moment.
Tien prepares to throw an attack to hopefully criple it)
Yamcha: (didn’t realize he was within the range of the attack so didn’t shade his eyes)
Tien, I can’t see!!
Tien: Darn! I guess I should’ve warned you! Just try and get away from that thing! Its to
your left. Fly straight up and you’ll just miss it! (the drone recovered quicker than Tien
had estimated; moments after the solar flare blinded it, a visor came down over its eyes;
the visor begins scanning for their power levels so it can continue and locks on to the still
blinded Yamcha) NO! YAMCHA! LOOK OUT!
(suddenly out of nowhere, Piccolo appears behind the drone; Piccolo is carryinga
knocked out Gohan; Piccolo kicks the drone into the ground)
Piccolo: Hit it now!! It doesn’t have any protection in the back!!
Tien: TRI-BEAM HA!! (The drone is fried)
Yamcha: (becoming frantic) What’s happening?!? Somebody answer me!! Are we dead
yet???
Piccolo: Tien, what was that thing and what’s wrong with Yamcha’s eyes? (Piccolo sets
Gohan down and puts a hand on Yamcha’s shoulder to lead him back to the ground)
Yamcha: Piccolo, is that you?! One of Tien’s solar flare attacks got out of control! I can’t
see!
Tien: It’ll wear off. You’re fine. 
Piccolo: Be glad it did go out of control. The flash of light it made was the only way I
was able to find you guys in time to help. 
Tien: So where’d you find Gohan? Is he all right?
Piccolo: Sure he is. Just needs some rest. I’ll take him by Korin’s so he can get a senzu
bean.
Tien: (remembers) Oh! I forgot! (pulls out a bag of senzu beans) Korin gave these to me
when we stopped by earlier. 
Yamcha: (eye sight has recovered slightly) I forgot we had those. 
(Tien passes the bag around the battered group)
Tien: Piccolo, maybe you should hold on to these. If I forgot I had them once---
Piccolo: Don’t worry about it. You keep em. I have to go.
Yamcha: Go? Go where?
Piccolo: To find those aliens before they cause any more trouble.
Gohan: (waking up) Piccolo, wait, I’m coming. 
Piccolo: Gohan, you should go over to the Kame house and rest up.
Gohan: Piccolo, those things hurt my mom. I’m not going to let them get away with that!
Tien: I have a score to settle with those things too. So I might as well tag along.
Yamcha: Gohan, I’ll go back to Master Roshi’s and check on your mom, okay?
Gohan: Thanks Yamcha.
Yamcha: Hey, I’m no good with only half my eye site anyways. 
(Tien, Piccolo, and Gohan fly off in the direction the aliens came from; Yamcha flies off
towards Master Roshi’s) 

Cut to Krillin and Android 18, still shopping for a top that goes with her skirt and shoes

Android 18: I shouldn’t have picked such an odd shade of blue to match....
Krillin: Well...uhhh...how bout this one? (picks up a top; it has the same shade of sky
blue the skirt is, but its swirled with a pattern of green; she takes it from him and looks at
it)
Android 18: (suddenly lost in thought as she holds the shirt) "Why does that shade of
green look so familiar? I’ve never owned anything that color---(suddenly has a flash of
Android 16 walking off to fight Cell; she drops the shirt as if it were on fire; Krillin looks
at her; she hesitates) Its not my size.
Krillin: (has a feeling that’s not why she dropped it, but doesn’t pry) Oh, ok. 
Android 18: (feels she is being too kind) And besides that, its hideous. You expect me to
wear that? If so, you’re pushing your luck. (there is a long pause in dialogue as she
continues searching a clothing rack; 18 sees a matching top at long last; it is sky blue and
sleeveless; it has a black scarf on it) Hmmm....what do you think Krillin?
Krillin: (wasn’t paying attention to her shopping; just her) Oh, its real nice 18.
Android 18: (looks at it as if she were inspecting it) Lose the scarf and it’ll do. (takes the
scarf off of it) Yes. Perfect. Maybe I could get 17 to wear the scarf. The one he usually
wears really doesn’t match his outfit. He has no fashion sense at all, I swear. (pause as
she looks at the shirt one last time) We can go now.
Krillin: Go? Already?
Android 18: You mean you’re not tired yet? Maybe my files on you are wrong after all.
Krillin: Well, what do they say?
Android 18: (laughs) None of your business. (starts to go)
Krillin: Hold on, I’ll pay for that for you so we don’t set off any more store alarms.
Android 18: (shocked but tries her best not to show it; hands him the shirt) kay. (Krillin
gets in the check-out line; 18 starts thinking again) "My gosh! What is up with this guy?
Why is he so nice to me?? Its getting creapy!! Doesn’t he know I don’t care about him??"
Krillin: (from the end of the check out line, by the doors) Come on 18!
Android 18: I’m coming! (walks towards Krillin and the two walk out the doors together;
18’s thoughts continue) "Does he think I’ll just break down and love him if he keeps
sucking up? Because I won’t!" (doubt of her own musings can be seen in her eyes; the
two start to fly away from the store)
Krillin: You’re quiet all of a sudden.
Android 18: Huh? Oh, just trying to figure out where 17 would be. 
Krillin: (thinking) "Oh no! I really really hope that guy’s okay!!" I’m sure he’s around
here somewhere. (nervous laugh) 
Android 18: (sees someone flying in the distance) Hey, who’s that? AHHH! (Nano, flying
at top speed, charges past 18, pushing her out of the way; 18 loses her focus for a second
and is knocked out of the sky a few feet; she manages to stop just as her new boots touch
a tree. The tree scuffs the left one.) HEY! WHAT’S THE BIG IDEA? YOU RUINED
MY NEW BOOTS!
Nano: Get out of my way, dumb blond! 
Android 18: (look of pure anger) WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?? (races at Nano throwing
a barrage of kicks and punches at her; the already injured Nano goes crashing to the
ground in a matter of seconds) THAT IS FOR MY SHOES!! 
Nano: (getting up) Stupid witch....
Android 18: (still angry) DIE! (throws a ki blast at Nano using both hands before anyone
can blink; Nano is killed on contact; 18 calms down) Maybe the afterlife will teach
whoever that was to watch where she’s going! (hears applause from behind)
Android 17: (had been watching) That was beautiful! I haven’t seen a slaughter like that
since we were first brought online! I was beginning to think you forgot how to fight, 18.
Android 18: 17! There you are! I was just about to look for you!
Android 17: Wow, you mean you’re still speaking to me?
Android 18: Why? Shouldn’t I be? 
Android 17: The whole shopping trip thing. I figured you’d be mad. 
Android 18: No. That’s out of my system. But I’m mad about the shoes. Did you see what
happened?
Android 17: (nods) And that’s why all non-androids should die. (smiles evilly in Krillin’s
direction; Krillin looks scared; returns his attention to 18; 17 starts to leave)
Android 18: 17! Where are you going? 
Android 17: I have a lot on my mind. I’ll meet you back at the house, ok?
Android 18: Fine. (looks back at Krillin) Bye. (flies off)
Android 17: (starts to fly away) 
Krillin: Hey Android 17! Wait up!
Android 17: (stops and turns) And what do you want?
Krillin: I just wanted to thank you for letting me go shopping with 18. It was a lot of 
fun. And I was hoping maybe we could....(can feel the cold in 17's gaze)...be friends?
Android 17: (picks up Krillin by his head) No, I don't think so. And If you did anything 
to her and I find out about it, I will hunt you down. Understand?
Krillin: (terrified) Uhmmm...yes sir!
Android 17: (drops him and flies away thinking) "Aw man, what was I thinking? I should’ve set her up
with the three-eyed one!"

Cut to Vegeta and the Ambassador

[sort of recap] Vegeta: I am the prince of all Saiyans! You can’t do a thing to me!
The Ambassador: “Prince of all Saiyans”, eh? (walks closer to him) Oh, so you’re King
Vegeta’s brat! I always thought you blew up with your pathetic planet! (throws a poorly
aimed punch at him; Vegeta catches it and crushes his fist; The Ambassdor doubles over
with pain)
Vegeta: Your words show you know nothing of the Saiyan race. Allow me to inform you.
(leaps back a few feet and charges up) FINAL FLASH!!
The Ambassador: (looking up) Well, little prince, its time for you to see true power.
(mimicks his movements exactly) FINAL FLASH!! 
(to Vegeta’s shock, The Ambassador’s attack works; the two attacks spin at each other,
collide in midair, and the Ambassador’s Final Flash proves stronger; Vegeta is thrown
back; he is injured, but not severely; he is however baffled out of his mind.)
Vegeta: T-that’s impossible! I created the Final Flash attack myself! There’s no way you
can know it!
The Ambassador: (lets out a very unmasculine laugh) Exactly. I don’t. Perhaps I
should’ve mentioned this earlier, but when I hit someone, I absorb the knowledge of all
their attacks through my hands. My friends called me Slap, before I killed them all. You
have a unique chance; you’re going to see how all your attacks should be performed.
Vegeta: (getting up) Lucky me...

Announcer: Oh-no! It seems like as soon as one trouble is behind our heroes, a greater
one shows up! The Ambassador is more powerful than Vegeta previously thought! Will
Vegeta be able to defeat him? And where will Android 18 wear her new outfit to? Stay
tuned for scenes from the next exciting episode of Dragonball Z!!
