Announcer: Last Time on Dragonball Z! The odds are in the Z fighters favor as only two villians remain, Tazo, who was reduced to a figurehead of a villian by a couple of women and Android 17 and The Ambassador with the power to absorb the fighting techniques and attacks of whomever he touches. The attacks of whoever he touches?! Say it ain’t so Vegeta! Oh, but it doesn’t look like Vegeta can; he’s busy bleeding to death from the wounds The Ambassador gave him with his own attacks! But Piccolo, Gohan, and Tien have appeared on the scene. Will they come up with a plan to save the day? Find out today on Dragonball Z!! Earthlings....Try To Stop Me (Piccolo, Tien, and Gohan all fly over The Ambassador’s head. Piccolo and Gohan land a stone’s throw behind him. Tien continues forward and lands next to the fallen Vegeta) The Ambassador: Oh, lookie Tazo! The knights in shining armor have come to save Princess Vegeta after all! Tazo: Perhaps chivalry isn’t dead, sir. The Ambassador: Regardless, let’s go kick its corpse. (calls over his shoulder) LOOKS LIKE YOU WON'T BE DYING ALONE VEGETA! (turns away from Tazo and towards Piccolo and Gohan; they’re both ready to fight) Tien: Here, Vegeta. Its a senzu. Take it. We’re going to need you to beat this guy....(tries to give Vegeta a senzu bean; Vegeta shoves him away; he is conscious and clearly disturbed) Vegeta: NO! Stop! Don’t touch him!!! (coughs up blood) Tien: Vegeta, its all right. Just take the senzu, then you can have your rematch--- Vegeta: NO!! You don’t understand! (realizing Tien won’t listen) GOHAN! Get over here! And bring the namek! Stay away from that alien!! (becoming hysterical; tries to get up but Tien holds him down) Tien: Piccolo, I think Vegeta must’ve hit his head or something! He’s not thinking straight! I’d better--- Vegeta: You’ll do nothing! GOHAN! LISTEN! DON’T TOUCH HIM!! Piccolo: (can hear Vegeta’s shrieks; thinks) "I haven’t seen Vegeta this worked up since Goku was still alive. What could he be talking about?" Cut to outside a small bar; Android 17, Tim, and Lunch are walking in Lunch: (crying hysterically) If Tien’s alive, why didn’t he call me??? why----Why---WHY?!?!? Android 17: Man, its not like its the end of the world. Tim: Guess it is to her. (evil grin) But I know how to straighten her up. (The three are now inside; Tim is leaning on the counter. 17 stands beside her and Lunch is facing them. She nabs the pepper and blows a fistfull into Lunch’s face; she sneezes. As Lunch sneezes, her hair turns blond and she gets a violent look in her eyes, like perviously.) Lunch: (tears turn to rage) THAT JERK! I’M GOING TO KILL HIM!!!! Tim: (gets Lunch’s attention) After hours hon. I’ll even help you. But we have to punch in now. Time to do our jobs. Lunch: Yeah I guess. Android 17: So you two work here? Tim: Yep. Lunch: Doesn’t pay enough for our trouble though; you wouldn’t believe the IDIOTS we get in here! Tim: Hey, we’re living. Have to listen to problems all day, but it makes my problems seem a little less severe. (Tim is getting glasses behind the counter now; 17 sits on a barstool; Lunch is changing the sign in the front window from open to closed) You got problems? Android 17: No, not really. Lunch: (sits next to 17) I’ll buy you a drink. Android 17: What about Tien? Lunch: He’s got a third eye! I’m not that desperate! And I can’t drink alone. Tim: (grabs Lunch by the Scarf on her head and pulls her behind the counter over the top by it) We’re working now! (looks out towards the door) Heads up, its the cop lady! Lunch: WHAT?!? OH NO! (runs in the back behind the counter as a green haired woman wearing a strange sort of unifrom comes in) Tim: (hisses to 17) Sorry about the drink. I don’t serve minors! And Lunch is kind of a wanted woman. She shouldn’t take chances. She won’t be out of the back for a while... Android 17: Minor?? Whoa, what’re you talking about lady? Tim: Come on now. How old are you? 15? 19? You’ve got a baby face. You can’t be over 21. Gimme some ID if you are. Android 17: (knows he can’t prove his age) Never mind. (Tim smiles and begins walking towards where the woman is headed) Green Haired Officer: Tim, give me my usual. (collapses into a bar stool. She seems really upset; Tim starts fixing her drink) Tim: Awww, what’s wrong with my fave galaxy police officer now? Green Haired Officer: Same as always! My partner screws up every chance I get to get promoted out of this dead solar system. No offense, but this place isn’t--- Tim: Don’t apologize. I agree completely. (Officer gives her a funny look) I’m not your typical local. (sets a drink down in front of her; more people are coming in notably a man, and three people in circus clothes) Green Haired Officer: I noticed. So, you running things alone tonight? Tim: (nervous laugh) Oh, no. My help is just in the back looking for something....(to change subject, calls to the man who just came in) Hi Tamahome! Long time no see! I was beginning to think you died! How’s that girlfriend of yours? Tamahome: She’s doing just fine. Tim: She over the legal drinking age yet? I’d love to meet her. Green Haired Officer: Your mean your girlfriend isn’t over the legal drinking age yet? How old is she? Tamahome: Thirteen or Fourteen. Green Haired Officer: And how old are you? Tim: (tries to cut into the conversation) If you want my age Kiyone you’ll never get it out of me! Tamahome: Oh, I’m twenty-five. Age doesn’t matter if you love someone-- Green Haired Officer: Age might not matter, but the law does. (slaps hand cuffs on him) You have the right to remain silent--(continuing reading his rights) Tamahome: (whispers) Tim, get me out of this! Tim: Sorry Tamahome. You dug your grave, now you’ve gotta lie in it. Toodles! I’ll come visit you in jail! Green Haired Officer: This is at least something to send to headquarters. ( begins dragging Tamahome out. He is kicking and screaming) And resisiting arrest too and...(out of bar) Tamahome: Tim, I'm going to get you for this! Tim: I said I was sorry!.....(they're gone) Its safe Lunch! Lunch: Thanks Tim. I owe you one. Android 17: Looks more like she owes that poor sap that just got arrested one. Tim: I wouldn’t feel any guilt about him taking the fall for you, Lunch. He’s a sissy anyway. Cut to Gohan and Piccolo still staring down the Ambassador The Ambassador: (chuckles) It appears your friend Vegeta has gone mad. Or is there a reason for his fear? (calls over to Tazo) Tazo, give them your expert opinion! Tazo: (mock fear) Oh, gee sire. I dunno. Maybe they’ll beat you! (the two laugh) Piccolo: (thinking) "Those two just pounded Vegeta, yet they don’t seem drained at all! And they’re so calm! What are they hiding---?" Vegeta: (interrupting Piccolo’s thoughts) DON’T EVEN CONSIDER TOUCHING THEM OR I’LL KILL YOU BOTH MYSELF!! Tazo: I never new corpses could scream. How annoying. I bet I could finish him off-- The Ambassador: But then how would he warn his friends? Would you two like to call a time out to talk with the village idiot? We don’t mind! Tazo: It won’t improve your odds any! Piccolo: Gohan, go see what’s wrong with Vegeta. Gohan: Right! (hurries over to Vegeta) Vegeta, what’s wrong? Vegeta: Don’t you touch them! Fools, you can’t win---(blacks out) The Ambassador: Oh, what a shame! He didn’t even get to finish his thought last thought! Gohan: (shakes him) Vegeta!!! Tien: He’s still alive, but he’s not going to be talking for a while. At least now I can give him a senzu bean without a fight. (Tien gives him a senzu and stands; he and Gohan both rejoin Piccolo) Gohan: Piccolo, he was trying to warn us, but he wasn’t making sense! What could’ve been wrong? Piccolo: I heard. Don’t worry Gohan. We’ll find out soon enough---(senses power levels) oh no....I hope its not more of them! Tazo: (disk bleeps) We’ve got two more sire! The Ambassador: Let them come; the more the merrier. Gohan: (thinking, looking over at Vegeta) "Vegeta, What was so important that you were trying to warn us about? I wish I knew..." (suddenly Yamcha and Chaotzu fly into sight) Choatzu: (landing next to Tien) Tien, you’re all right! I was so worried! Tien: Choatzu, you shouldn’t have come! The Ambassador: Don’t deter the lad! I have time to deal with all of you! (Piccolo quickly begins to fill in Yamcha and Choatzu about the goings on; The Ambassador waits patiently at first) The Ambassador: What are you five muttering about over there? Are you STILL trying to figure out what Princess Vegeta was trying to warn you about? Yamcha: That’s none of your business!! The Ambassador: Oh, isn’t he touchy? (Tazo smirks) Well to make things as fair as they were with Vegeta, as much as I hate to repeat myself, I’m going to let you five in on a little secret; my special attack. Tazo: (panicking) Slap don’t start! You don’t want to give them too much of a chance! The Ambassador: WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT USING MY NAME? IF YOU WEREN’T ALREADY A DEAD MAN WALKING I’D KILL YOU, JUST LIKE I DID WISHNIK! Piccolo: (sort of growls) So you’re the one that killed him--- The Ambassador: Aww, was he your friend? WELL I’M SURE HE’S HAVING TONS OF FUN WITH HIS SISTER AND TAZO'S PET GOON IN THE AFTERLIFE! Now back to my original thought; Aren’t you the least bit curious about my special attack? Step a little closer and I’ll tell you all about it. (Yamcha and Tien begin to step forward; Piccolo holds them back) Piccolo: No! We’re not going to walk towards him. If thats what he wants us to do, he must have something planned. (yells) If you’re going to tell us about your attack, come over here! Tazo: (blurts out) Stop wasting time! This planet should’ve been destroyed by now! The Ambassador can absorb your techiques if you touch him! The Ambassador: YOU’RE STEALING MY LINES! (picks up Tazo and throws him; he lands somewhere in the distance) Oops. Yamcha: No one can absorb techniques by someone touching them! Tien: Its just not possible! Choatzu: But why would he lie? Yamcha: To scare us. Yea, that’s it. He’s bluffing. He’s gotta be--- The Ambassador: (laughs) You seem so certain. Allow me to demistrate. I picked up this little move from Vegeta over there. (aims at nothing since he is merely demonstrating) FINAL FLASH!!! (the attack works perfectly and destroys one of the few remaining mountains left in the area) Yamcha: NO! Tien: Its unreal! Gohan: How can we fight someone we can’t touch? Choatzu: Tien, I’m scared! Piccolo: (whispers) Don’t worry; Kami just gave me a plan. We’ll overload him. He can’t absorb five people’s techniques at once. Choatzu: Yea! That’s it! Gohan: Let’s do it! The Ambassador: You’re muttering again! (the five begin to approach him at once) Oh, this looks familiar. You’re going to try and overload my mind, aren’t you? Well I’ll tell you right now it won’t work. Everywhere I go, my foes try that, and never once has it worked! Piccolo: Well there’s a first time for everything. The Ambassador: (extends his arm) Don’t worry. I’ll be happy to burst your bubble for you. (steps towards them) Go ahead, touch my hand. All of you. Same time. I’ll even count you down. This will be fun! 10....(cut to Yamcha looking angry)... ....9....(cut to Choatzu still looking scared and Tien trying to remain calm)... ....8.....(cut to Gohan, standing ready)... ...7...6....(cut to Vegeta, he moans slightly).... (count speeds up)....5.......4........3.....2......(cut to Piccolo looking focused)... Piccolo and the Ambassador together: One. (everyone touches the Ambassador’s hand at once; there is a blinding flash of light) Announcer: OH NO! It looks like the end! Will our heros be able to overload The Ambassador and put an end to his reign of terror?! Or have they just ruined their last hope of victory? Stay tuned for scenes from the next exciting episode of Dragonball Z!
