2000 BIRD STUDIO/SHUEISHA, TOEI ANIMATION A couple and their baby were sitting on a bench in the rain. They
appeared either homeless or stranded. Four men stepped forward in front
of them. The tall and muscular one said, "Give us your money, if you
know what's good for ya'!" "Go away! We don't have any!," the man
replied. "So that's the way you're gonna act, huh?" "Why are you here?
We didn't do anything!" A short one with long hair stepped forward. "We
never said you did!" The aliens stabbed and burned the two and their
son. "HAHAHA!!!" The quartet broke into hysterical laughs. A short,
hooded figure came out from behind them as the others bowed. "After all
these years…mankind will feel the wrath of my power. I was cast into my
own void for years…so many years. And now my time for revenge has come!
Humans will feel the Hell I was trapped in. And I am immortal so no one
can resist! HAHAHA!!!" A familiar boy was running through the woods. His name was Gohan.
As many prayed, he got rid of his "mop top" and changed his hair to his
long, messy ponytail once again. He was racing a tiger through a dirt
road. The tiger had trouble catching up with all his panting. Gohan
reached for a tree branch and the tiger skidded into a rock. The boy
jumped off a waterfall and took off his overalls and shirt, stripped to
only his swimming trunks. He dove underwater and made a 5-foot splash.
Struggling to hold his breath, Gohan kicked towards a group of fish. He
grabbed each one's tail and through them all onto the land nearby. As
he resurfaced he noticed a familiar bald-headed figure. "Hey! Kuririn
is that you?!" He was wearing a white tux with a bowler derby hat.
"This is to you, kid." He said with a low and stuffed up voice. "Ha!
That's the worst Humphrey Bogart impression I've ever heard," Gohan
laughed. A peculiar shape caught Gohan's eye. "Hey! Is that your car?
For real!?" Kuririn nodded nervously. "Yep! Well, sort of…heh!" Gohan
seized the moment of silence. "Hey, Kuririn! Wanna go for a swim?"
"No…really, I don't wanna…" "Awe, common!" "Sorry, kiddo. It's the
threads." "Well, just take'em off!" Gohan said stubbornly. "Well…I
guess a quick dip wouldn't hurt anyone." Kuririn began taking off his
jacket when a female stepped out of his car. "Hey! Kuririn! What do you
think you're doing?!" A blue-haired girl with a mini-skirt came down
the hill. "Who's that with you?" she said. "This is Gohan. Gohan…this
is my, er, friend Marron." "Hi…" said a blushing Gohan. "Well, aren't
you the cutest thing," She began rubbing his hair. "And what beautiful
black hair! I know some girls who would kill to have hair like this. Do
you always hang out in your underwear? Tee hee!" Gohan turned a deep
shade of magenta. "You're cute, did you know that?" "Uhh…" Gohan
struggled to find the right words, "sort of." Kuririn looked jealous.
"Hey Gohan! Guess what's going on today?" "What?" asked Gohan, puzzle.
"A party, bro! At Master Roshi's house. Wanna come?" "Yeah, but what
would my mom say…" "Oh, yeah!" said a frustrated Kuririn. "She's just
too darn strict with all that studying! Oh, well…maybe a miracle will
come along and she'll say yes. Stranger things have happened, ya'
know." "Yea…"
"Well, gotta go. See ya' later, kid." Kuririn and Marron sped away in their Viper. "Hmm…I
wonder if….yea! She's Kuririn's girlfriend! Heh, heh. After all these years he finally found a
girlfriend. Boy, is dad gonna be surprised when he gets back!"
