2000 BIRD STUDIO/SHUEISHA, TOEI ANIMATION "Wait, guys!" Bulma quickly shouted. "You'll need a place
to crash until the dragon balls are back." "Oh, we couldn't impose,"
said a Namek villager. "No, really! It's no big deal. My dad has a HUGE
complex. Besides, you need a major credit card to stay at a hotel."
"Face it, guys. Green men from outer space aren't exactly a common
sight around here." "Oh. I see what you mean, " he replied. "Ok. We
accept." "Hey, home-boy!" Bulma shouted in Vegeta's direction. "What?!
Home-boy?" "Yeah, you! You're gonna need a place to stay too, ya' know.
You're kinda cute, too." "What?! Kinda cute? Bonehead…" "Hey, guys! I just got a call from Bulma," Dr. Briefs said.
"She said she's back on Earth. And Gohan's with her, as well. Does
anyone still want to make the trip to Namek?" Everyone in the ship fell
over in disbelief. "Huh?" Bulma spotted a ship in the distance. "Hey, guys!
Over here! Whoohoo!" Chichi ran out looking for Gohan but was shocked
to see a million Piccolos staring at her. On the ride back, Bulma
explained what happened. At the Capsule Corp. complex, the new visitors
were given a tour. A certain sphere caught Vegeta's eye. "What? A
ship!" "Yep," Dr. Briefs nodded. "All the latest in technology. A
gravity machine, turbo-boosting pulsators, and a stereo system that'll
bring the house down." Vegeta was examining the inside when a monitor
popped up with Mrs. Brief's head on it. "Vegeta, cold drinks for
everyone. I made you a "Shirley Temple!" Life was sweet for the
travelers from outer space. Marki became an expert putter. The Namek
boys learned how to play Poker. And a certain frog became the proud new
ruler of the local fishpond. "Ribbit!" Finally, the dragon balls were
collected and the Namek dragon appeared. "I can grant you anything you
can imagine. What three wishes do you desire? "Bring Kuririn and Goku
to the Earth's check-in station!" Dende shouted in his native tongue.
The dragon's eyes glowed red. "The one named Kuririn is at the Earth's
check-in station…but the one called Goku can not." "Why the hell not?!"
Vegeta was very upset at this. "Because he is alive! If I brought him
there he would die." Everyone gasped at this news. "Bring back Kuririn
to this dimension!" Once again, the dragon's eyes glowed and Kuririn,
with his wound healed, stood before them. "Hey! Where am I?" he said in
confusion. "For our last wish! Bring Goku here!" The Namek dragon's
eyes stopped glowing. "He refuses to come. He says he'll return later."
"Kakarot. What are you up to?" Vegeta thought. "Then let's bring back
Yamcha!" The dragon spoke after a minute. "I have fulfilled my task.
And so I bid you farewell." He flew off into the sky. "Hey. Wait!"
Bulma cried out. "The dragon ripped us off!" "No, he didn't…" came a
familiar voice. Yamcha appeared soaked with water and a frog on his
head. 130 days later a peculiar darkness overcame the sky, once again.
The first wish was to bring back the triclops, Tien. The second was to
revive the courageous fighter, Chao-tzu. "Does this mean…that we're…?"
Tien nodded. "Oh, Tien!" Chao-tzu hugged him. Life returned to normal
for the tired band of fighters. Piccolo was back to being celf-
centered. Gohan resumed his studies. Chichi was back to her bitching.
They were happy with their lives, once again. But every night, they'd
look out into the stars and wonder…when the one they loved would finally
return.
