Last time on Dragonball Z! Announcer: The aliens have the upper hand in their fight against the Z fighters, but what’s this? The aliens are abandoing their battles and being called to the same point for the arrival of "The Ambassador". And according to Wishnik, this alien is stronger than the others! What will our heros do now? Find out today on Dragonball Z! Wishnik’s Sacrifice (Story starts with Android 17 flying) Android 17: (thinking) "I’m going to find that freak who totaled my car! Whatever that thing was, it has got to be around here somewhere. It left in this direction. I’m sure of it. And it couldn’t have gotten too far. That thing’s dead!" (continues flying, but is actually traveling in the wrong direction) (Back with Wishnik, still bowed down in front of the Ambassador) Wishnik: It is wonderful to see you ambassador! Did you have a nice flight? The Ambassador: Idiot. (kicks Wishnik out of his path) NANO! NANO WHERE ARE YOU? I WANT A REPORT! NANO! TAZO! DON’T MAKE ME LOOK FOR YOU! (Cut to Nano fighting Vegeta; they are exchanging punches and kicks at speeds barely visible by the human eye; Nano is so focused on the fight she never hears The Ambassador’s calls) (Cut back to Wishnik with the Ambassador) Wishnik: They’re not coming, sir. They are attempting to secure the area, as Lord Zucc ordered. The Ambassador: Good for them! AND WHAT ABOUT YOU!?! (picks Wishnik up by his forearm [is much bigger than Wishnik] and shakes him) WHY ARE YOU JUST SITTING HERE?? GET TO WORK!! Wishnik: (terrifed; practically screaming) The inhabitants of this planet are much stronger than we thought! I’d be no help! The Ambassador: WHY DO WE KEEP YOU AROUND ANYWAY? (throws him into a cliffside; he goes through it and ends up several meters away from where Nano is fighting)...hmmm....the gravity on this planet is interesting. Who would’ve thought he’d fly that far from such a inadequate toss..... (Tazo arrives) Tazo: I am here Ambassador. The Ambassador: Oh yes. Lovely. REPORT YOU IDIOT! Tazo: Sure thing sir! I’ve secured the area in that direction for the most part--- The Ambassador: WHO CARES YOU LOSER! Did you find anything of use to us on this planet? Anything that should be claimed before we destroy it? Tazo: From what my scanning could tell, most inhabitants of this planet are too weak and useless for servants. As for the planet itself, there are no minerals that would be of any use to us. But I found one thing I’m not sure what to think of.... The Ambassador: Well, don’t leave me in suspence. HAND IT OVER! Tazo: (hands The Ambassador the two star Dragonball) Do you know what it is sir? The Ambassador: Ah, yes. Of course. I believe they call these dragonballs. Tazo: Dragonballs?!? I thought that was just an old wives’ tail! The Ambassador: Maybe it was on Planet Zucc and on my planet. But on this planet it seems they are quite real. Make yourself useful; Go find them why don’t you? Tazo: By myself? But finding them should be quite a task! I’ll need assistance--- The Ambassador: YOU HAVE WIBBLER! GO FIND THEM! Tazo: I’m afraid Wibbler met a tragic end--- The Ambassador: YOU SHOULDN’T NEED HIM!!! HIS INCOMPETENCE WAS ONLY EQUAL TO YOUR OWN!!! GO NOW BEFORE I LOSE MY PATIENCE!!! Tazo: Yes sir!! (flies away) (Cut back to Wishnik) Wishnik: Owww....well at least I’m still alive. Thank goodness for the weak gravity of this planet.....(sees Nano fighting Vegeta; they break apart for a moment and hover in mid-air; Vegeta speaks) Vegeta: Somebody looks like their strength is wearing down. Ready to give up? Nano: I’ll crush you, just like I did the boy without the power level and the green creature! Vegeta: So you killed one of the androids? I never did like them. As for the namek, he’s not dead. I sensed his power level a while ago. Foolish alien. You were so focused on fighting me you never even noticed. (chuckles) Nano: Oh yea? I’ll give you something to notice. (shrieks) TORA-OA-HA!!! (a fireball identical to the one she used to stop 17 goes hurtling at Vegeta) Vegeta: GALICK GUN! (The galick gun attack flies at the Tora-oa-ha; the two attacks collide in a flash of light but the galick gun stays on course. The Tora-oa-ha is disintegrated) Nano: (screams; the galick gun hits her head on and throws her into a mountain, but she is still alive; laughs) Vegeta: Huh. (chuckles again) I’m impressed. So how long did you have to train to get that strong? Nano: We’re all naturally this way. Our home, Planet Zucc had 400 times this planet’s gravity. Even our weakest children would seem dogmatic here! You’re such a fool to challenge me! This time, I’ll attack seriously! (powers up a little more) TORA-OA-HA!!! (The blue swirled attack hurtles at Vegeta once more only this time it is much bigger. To Nano’s shock, however, he makes no attempts to dodge. The attack is a few meters away from him) Vegeta: Let’s see how you like it. (flings the attack back at her with a combination of a kick and his power level) Nano: (starts to scream out the name of another attack but isn’t fast enough; the attack overtakes her; when the smoke clears, Nano is critically injured) Vegeta: You should’ve given up when you had the chance! Nano: I’m not defeated yet.....(starts to get up slowly) Vegeta: Oh, just stand still. It will be easier on you in the long run. Nano: (her breathing has become deeper; she suddenly drops) I can’t see straight enough to walk! (realizes she is bleeding from the mouth) I’d nearly forgotten how strong that attack is....(Vegeta is now only a stone’s throw away from her) Vegeta: Are you done talking about how stupid you are? You’d better stop kicking yourself or your leg might fall off! It would’ve been a challenge disposing of you if you weren’t such an incompetent fighter! Say Goodbye. FINAL FLASH!!! Wishnik: (suddenly in front of Vegeta) ENERGY BEAM!!! (a blast of energy comes from his outstretched hands. It begins pushing the Final Flash attack back.) Nano: OH LOOK, ITS BABY BROTHER. DECIDED TO SWITCH SIDES AGAIN HAVE YOU? GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD! I HATE YOU! SAVING ME WON’T CHANGE THAT! IN FACT, I CONSIDER IT A GREAT INSULT!! Wishnik: I’m sorry I was never good enough for you sis. I won’t be around to bother you much longer. I won’t be a part of your evil anymore. And I think this is the safest way out. I only hope you both see the light someday. (both Vegeta and his attacks run out; Vegeta looks at him bewildered) Vegeta: Well, I’m not about to stop you if you wish to throw your life away, boy. You’re hardly worth the trouble of killing! (charges up a modest ki blast) Wishnik: I don’t have the power to do that again.....(closes his eyes, claps his hands twice, and bows his head; begins quietly praying in his native tongue) Vegeta: TAKE THIS! (throws the ki blast at Wishnik; it sends him flying over Nano’s head. Nano looks at Vegeta with fear in her eyes; she knows she’s next) (Cut to Android 18 and Krillin approaching another store by air) Krillin: Hey, let’s go there! (points at a store they’re flying over) Android 18: Awww, is someone getting tired? I guess I can look for a top there. But I’ve never shopped there before. Krillin: Its a Wal-mart. You mean you’ve never been to Wal-mart? Android 18: I don’t know. Krillin: What do you mean you don’t know? Android 18: Dr. Gero deleted my memories from before I was an android. Krillin: Whoa, you mean you don’t have any memories? I had no idea---(suddenly Krillin notices a large crowd) Gyah! I wonder what all that is! Android 18: Dunno, but there’s some guy in the middle of it all. Krillin: Oh, no--- Android 18: What? Do you know him? Krillin: Kinda. And he’s coming this way--- (Hercule aka Mr. Satan suddenly walks into view) Hercule: hahahaha! Its great to see my fans come out to support me when I go get my groceries!! A reporter: So, Hercule, what are you buying? Hercule: Just the essentials. A blank tape so I can tape myself next time I’m on TV and some of THIS! Reporter: And whatever is this Hercule? Hercule: Its body building drink! I’m making myself even stronger than before so if Cell ever comes back, it won’t take so long to defeat him. I hate having to interrupt everyone’s regularly scheduled program to whoop him! Krillin: (mutters) But you’d never know.... Android 18: So that’s the guy who says he beat Cell? He doesn’t look like much. (to Hercule) HEY! YOU! Reporter: Hercule, it looks like we have a question! Hercule: Great! I love hearin from my fans! Reporter: Good! So, ma’am, what do you want to ask our great champion? Android 18: Are you absolutely sure Cell didn’t die of natural causes? Reporter: Miss! Do you know who you’re addressing? This is Hercule, the great Martial Arts Champion of the WORLD! Android 18: Yea. So? I betcha he didn’t even beat Cell. Hercule: (nervously) hahahaha! (suddenly rushes up to Android 18 and hugs her to try and silence her) These crazy kids!!! Where do they get these ideas??? hahahaha! (Android 18 looks about ready to kill so he lets her go) hahahaha! Well, I better be going. And remember; HERCULE RULEZ!!!! Krillin: Maybe we should go shopping somewhere else. Android 18: Kay. (the two go out the automatic doors) Cut back to Nano and Vegeta Nano: You know, you don’t have to kill me. I can change. I’ll get a job and start doing community service and--- Vegeta: Pleading for your life won’t work on me so don’t waste your breath. Nano: Would saying I love you and only fought you so I could be near you help? Vegeta: Nope. Sorry. Are you quite through wasting my time? Nano: You can’t blame a girl for trying. (someone is heard yelling behind Vegeta; he turns his head to look) The Ambassador: (flying into view) WISHNIK! WHERE’D YOU PUT YOUR USELESS SELF? Nano: (whsipers) I’ll have to thank the ambassador for having a big mouth. (runs away) The Ambassador: HEY! IF YOU’RE DEAD, SAY SO!! Vegeta: Looks like more company has arrived so I guess I’ll have to empty out the guest room. (turns towards Nano and finds her gone) DARN! I didn’t think she was fast. Well, she can’t get far. The Ambassador: Not so fast, little man. If you mess with one of us, you mess with us ALL! (kicks Wishnik’s body out of his way) I hardly see it worthy that a high ranking official like myself must fight a lowly Earthling, but I WILL AVENGE OUR USELESS SHOE SHINE BOY! YAH! (powers up) Vegeta: Lowly?!? You’ll regret saying that! I am Vegeta, Prince of all Saiyans!! And you’re the one who is lowly!!!! (powers up a bit more himself) Announcer: Oh no, what is Vegeta getting himself into? And what horrible things will Nano do if someone doesn’t catch her in time? And what kind of assignment did The Ambassador call back Tazo for? These answers an more next time on Dragonball Z!
