(It's time for the second story of the series! I hope you all are ready!)

LAST TIME ON DRAGON BALL ZCE!

Max's transformation into the Oozaru almost stopped Zhane, but he countered with an energy disk to cut off the boy's tail. But before Zhane could get away, DW used her new abilities to transport the teen in the path of Max as he is hurdling to the ground, crushing him. Now that the Z Warriors have a Dragon Ball, they move on to the next Universe. But at the universe, they are taken prisoner to a small village. How will it play out, watch out for it now on Dragon Ball ZCE!

Episode 9:

A New Ally!

The Number One Knuckle Headed Ninja Appears

The Z Warriors are being led to a nearby village by a team of shinobi. It seems as if the leader is the one controlling their movements. He used a move that renders the victim immobile, obviously using his shadow to control them.

"Hey kid", Vegeta said to the leader, "where are you taking us?"

"You know, you shouldn't be yelling at me in the state your in" the boy said.

"Gah, HOW DARE YOU COMMAND ME, THE PRINCE OF ALL SAIYANS!"

"Aw great, I got a mouthy one" the teen thought to himself.

They reached the gates of the village as they were greeted by a pair of shinobi. One was a girl with long blonde hair with a purple two piece over fishnets. The other was a large teen with a silver breastplate (with the kanji for eat on the front) with matching arm and leg bands over a red costume, along with long brown hair. He was eating a bag of barbecue potato chips while waiting for his friend to return.

"Hey Shikamaru, what took you so long, you should've been back a while ago" said the obese boy.

"Yeah, we have to meet with Lady Tsunade in 15 minutes, and you know making her wait is like hell itself!" said the girl.

"Calm down, Ino, I just had to pick up a few trespassers" he replied.

Ino and the large boy known as Choji looked at the group of strange people."They don't look like they're from around here" Choji said.

"Who are you people?" asked Ino.

"Your mother" Piccolo said, with a smirk.

"Well, we know they're rude" Ino said with a vein protruding on her head.

"Let's hurry to lady Tsunade before she has our asses on her fireplace!" Choji alerted the team. The ninjas with the three teens ran to the gate and started to open it. The Z Warriors saw the inside of the village and were amazed at what they saw. Even though it was small, it was also quaint. The buildings were intricately designed, even though it was suffering from age and war, as seen from the ruins of some buildings. But what really caught their eyes was the mountain with four faces on it. It was like meticulously designed, even to the last wrinkle. The Group wanted to know who were the faces, but they were more of prisoners then they were tourists at the moment.

"Wow, this place is amazing!" said Krillin.

"It's not like West City, but in it's own little way, it's a nice village" Bulma added.

"Eh, I've destroyed better looking places" Vegeta said.

"Amen to that!" Piccolo agreed, causing the rest of the group to glare at them.

Ino took a look at the prisoners and paid close attention to Gohan. As he shifted hi focus to the girl staring at him, Gohan gave Ino a confused look. Ino started to blush and looked away quickly.

"Oh good grief, not again" Gohan said to himself.

While everyone was paying attention to the buildings and monuments, Master Roshi had only one thing on his mind.

"LOOK AT ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN!" he thought to himself, drooling at the sight. Everywhere he looked, beautiful women were walking around. Blondes, brunettes, red heads, even pink haired people. But he wanted to get to know the inside of those women, if you know what I mean. He even saw an all women bath house, with women in towels walking in and out.

"When we're done with this, I have got to explore the features of this village!" Bulma saw the Turtle Hermit looking at the women with an open mouth, and rolled her eyes at the sight. Even the young ninjas were seeing the sight.

"Um, Shikamaru, I think one of your prisoners is sick" said Choji.

"I think he has a fever" Ino added.

"Not my problem, Tsunade will take care of it, I guess."

They had finally reached their location, a large building, the largest in the village, and the residence of the leader. They walked up a few flights of stairs, until they reached a door with a young girl with pink hair in front.

"Hey Shikamaru!" said the girl, "Where have you been, Lady Tsunade requested your audience, you know not to keep her waiting!"

"Sheesh, I was coming, Sakura, I just had to take a few prisoners along the way."

"Well what are you doing standing here, GO ALREADY!" she said, kicking him through the door. The Z Warriors, being connected to him, fell as a result.

She then took a good look at the prisoners, and was especially creeped out by Piccolo.

"What the heck are you supposed to be!" she asked.

"I'm an alien, kid. Can't you tell by my green skin?"

"Whatever you are, you look evil."

"Well…" Piccolo said, trailing off into thoughts of his evil days, back when he had one thought on his head, killing Goku.

"…I dabbled."

Shikamaru got up and led the prisoners into the room. In the room, a women with a navy blue robe was holding a pig. Also standing their were tow men and a women. Both men had a vest like Shikamaru's, but one had blue spiky hair with a cigarette in his mouth, while the other man had white spiky hair with a bandana over his mouth. The woman was wearing a wrap with red sleeves over bandages. She had black hair that draped her shoulders. The one thing they had in common was the headband on their heads with the insignia on the metal part.

"Well Shikamaru", said the women named Kurenai, "you kept the Lady waiting."

"Yeah, and now your going to have hell to pay" said the white haired man named Kakashi.

"I wouldn't want to be you!" said the other man named Asuma.

"Yeah, yeah, it's not like she's here" he responded.

"OH YOU THINK THAT DO YOU!" said the blonde haired woman who swiveled around her chair, surprising the young chunin.

"YOU KNOW BETTER THAN TO KEEP ME WAITING, SHIKAMARU!" she yelled out with fire in her eyes. Even the Z Warriors were intimidated by the woman.

"Man, she seems crazier than Chi-Chi!" Goku whispered to the person next to him, not knowing it was Chi-Chi.

"I'm sorry, what was that" she asked him with a scowl.

"I… I love you!" he tried to recover. But Chi-Chi just turned around and remained angry.

"You do not keep me waiting, no matter the circumstances! What if the village was under attack! What if I was under attack!" the Hokage asked.

"Like what?" asked Shikamaru.

"Well…" Tsunade tried to think of an excuse, "…what if giant ninja zombies attacked?"

"Really, that's the best you could think of?" Asuma asked.

"Well, I mean what else is there to think of!"

Tsunade was about to scold the young Chunin more, but she stopped when she saw the prisoners he brought.

"Who hell are they!" she yelled.

"Um, can I interject?" asked Bulma.

"Hey, get back!" Shikamaru commanded Bulma.

"Wait, I want to hear what she wants" Tsunade commanded. Shikamaru stepped back while Bulma stepped up.

She explained their whole story, from the beginning, to Zhane and the evil villains, the Dragon Balls, all the way to their current situation.

"Hmm, I see, so you believe this Dragon Ball is in this Universe?" Tsunade asked.

"We know it's here, we saw it on our radar. We didn't know we were trespassing, please let us go, we'll do anything. I'll even write you a check!" Bulma pulled out a check that said "Trunks' new bike".

"Mom, not my new bike!"

"Trunks, I can get you another!"

"Oh yeah. Can I have two!

"You don't have to pay, as a matter of fact, I want to help!"

"Really!" Goku yelled out.

"Oh yeah, I'm getting three bikes!" Trunks exclaimed.

"Yes, I have a few shinobi who could help."

"WOO-HOO! YEAH!" Goku yelled out, flying around the whole village.

"Uhh, mind to explain."

"I'll explain while we do a scene change" Yamcha said.

(A cave)

Zhane, along with a new set of helpers; Super Buu, Kid Buu, Babidi, and Dabura, were in a dark cave. They didn't know how they got there, but they remember being ambushed.

"I'm hungry!" Super Buu yelled out, with Kid Buu nodding and grunting in agreement.

"Grrr, shut up. Geez, I should've never spliced your genes to separate you two" Zhane groaned.

"He's like the little brother I always wanted!" Super Buu exclaimed, putting his arm around his mini me. They both grunted happily while laughing.

"You should've gotten an abortion" Zhane told Babidi, their father, in the technical sense of the word.

Suddenly, 10 shadowy figures appeared before them. Each had different shapes and sizes, and one appeared to be carrying a sword.

"Who are you!" Dabura yelled out.

"Why are we here?" Babidi asked.

"Who we are is none of your business" one shadow said.

"I will kill you!" Dabura said, pulling out his sword. He started to charge toward the figure but as he slashed his sword, it went through his body, which turned out to be a hologram.

"Wha…"

"I think you need to calm down, we just want to talk."

Another figure started to talk, "You see, we know what your looking for, and we want to help."

"Oh" Zhane said, inquisitively.

After negotiations, Zhane and the shadows (nice band name huh) made a deal.

"Ok then, I think we made a great deal" Zhane said.

"Well then, let's head out" one figure said, they all were about to phase out when Zhane asked…

"Who are you people?"

A short stout figure came forward and said, "We are, the Akatsuki."

"AW MAN, I WANTED TO SAY IT!" said the one with the orange mask.

"DEIDARA SENPAI, I WANTED TO SAY IT!"

"TOBI SHUT THE HELL UP!" said the blonde known as Deidara.

"Well, I guess we'll see you later." said Zetsu's white half. The DBZ villains nodded in agreement.

"You wouldn't want to die before we got there!" said his more maniacal black half.

The whole DBZ villain team froze in fear at the sight of Zetsu.

"Well, see you later, Two-Face" Zhane said, walking out of the cave.

The Akatsuki looked at each other and were silent when Tobi spoke out.

"Hey Sasori, aren't you dead?" That question made the whole Akatsuki think for a while.

(Hokage Residence)

"All right here's the mission!" commanded Lady Tsunade. She had called the Konoha 11 to give them a very important mission. She had explained the Z Fighters dilemma, and ordered them to help.

"Now, do you get understand, they say it is life and death, evil will not prevail, I will…" Tsunade paused for a minute because she noticed something, or someone, was missing.

"WHERE'S NARUTO!" she yelled out.

"Last time I saw him, he was walking toward his house" said Kiba.

"Yeah, maybe he's out training!", said Lee, "Which I should be doing also!" he said, getting on the ground as he proceeded to do 700 push-ups. Everyone just carried on with the conversation.

"That orange jump suited idiot!" Tsunade screamed out.

"Wait, orange jumpsuit, is it?" Gohan said.

"Yeah" Tsunade replied.

"Blonde hair, headband just like everyone else's."

"Yeah! Have you seen him!"

"I see him down their talking to some old guy with white hair."

The whole ninja squad looked out the window and saw Naruto and Jiraiya talking, and Sakura was quick to interject.

"NARUTO, GET YOUR ASS UP HERE!" she screamed, while throwing things at him.

"AAAH, SAKURA STOP, I'M COMING!" he yelled out, running into the building as fast as he can, with Jiraiya behind him.

When he got into the room, he was out breath, his eyes bulging.

"WHAT IS IT!", he asked, "AND WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE!" he asked seeing the Z Fighters.

(One Explanation Later)

"Oh ok, I'll help." Naruto easily complied.

"Now here's the thing", Tsunade continued, "Naruto, Sakura, Ino, and Sai, you'll go with these people to hunt down this Dragon Ball."

Vegeta took a look at Sai, and Sai noticed Vegeta looking at him. Vegeta, creeped out by the teen, looked away, only to see Sai next to him.

"GOOD LORD!" Vegeta screamed out.

"Why were you looking at me?" Sai asked.

"Kid, do you have any friends?" Vegeta asked offensively.

"Well, Naruto said he's my friend. Would you like to be my friend?"

"Yeah, yeah, just go back over there where you won't creep me out."

"Ok then…" Sai said, walking off. Vegeta was relieved, until Sai finished his statement.

"…friend." Vegeta just gave him a scowl and Sai walked off.

"Creepy little…"

"Vegeta." Goku interrupted.

"What Kakarot?" he responded.

"I wonder what Zhane is doing?"

"Probably searching for that Dragon Ball, which is why we need to hurry."

"Or maybe he's sitting down for a nice pot of tea."

"(sigh) Kakarot every time you say something stupid, I feel as though I get dumber by the minute."

"That's nice."

Vegeta just growls at Goku's stupidity.

"All right, Team Guy, you'll defend the village along with Shikamaru and co."

"Yes…ma'am…I…will…do…all…I…can…do…to…protect…Konoha!" Lee said, on his 534'th push-up.

"Wow, how does he do that?" Krillin wonders.

"Well he doesn't use steroids!" said a man with the same style of hair as Lee.

"Guy Sensei!" said Lee, getting up from his push-ups.

"Lee! You stopped your push-ups!" Guy exclaimed.

"Oh no! Oh well, time to start over! 1,2,3,4,5..." Lee said, starting his exercises from 1.

"That kid is as brainwashed as a Nazi in 1935!" said Krillin.

"Did World War II even happen in our universe?" Tien asked, but no one responded.

"Here Lee, let me join you!" Guy said, getting on the floor and doing push-ups also.

"Man these guys know how to do it!" Goku said, also joining in.

"That's it!", Guy exclaimed to Goku, "Feel the power of youth!"

"I am officially creeped out" Vegeta said, but that was just the tip of the iceberg as Sai just appeared next to him.

"Your telling me."

"Wha, WILL YOU GET OUT HERE!" Vegeta yelled.

"What can we do?" Kiba asked, wanting to be apart of the action.

"Hmm, you guys can go with the traveling party" Tsunade responded.

"Oh yeah, we're going with you guys!" exclaimed Kiba, giving Naruto a high-five.

"Yes, it will be most interesting" said Shino, who appeared next to Vegeta also.

"(sigh) Why do I always get stuck with the freaks?" he asked, looking towards the sky.

"I don't know" said Tien who also appeared next to him.

"Eh, he's a normal freak."

Elsewhere in the room, Hinata was busy contemplating the thought of going with Naruto on a mission.

"Naruto" she thought in her mind, while doing her signature finger gestures.

"Hey, how are ya!"

Hinata snapped out of her state and saw Trunks talking to her.

"Hey, your really quiet, did you know, why don't you talk a lot! Do you want to talk…"

Trunks kept going as Hinata moved to another spot in the room.

"What's wrong Tsunade?" asked Jiraiya as he walked in the room.

"Hey, you know, your hair reminds me of my brother!" Goku commented.

"Yeah, I hope that, WHOOOOOA!" Jiraiya tripped and fell in a very pleasant place: in between Bulma's breasts. Bulma was repulsed by this, but Jiraiya was pleased.

"Oh, sorry, I tripped. But your lovely airbags suppressed my fall!"

Bulma was about to beat the Toad Sage's face in when Master Roshi stopped her.

"Wait, I wouldn't punch him!" he said.

"WHY, IS IT BECAUSE ALL OLD PERVS STICK TOGETHER!" she angrily replied.

"No! I can see he is a person after my own heart."

"I have a feeling that's a bad thing" 18 said.

"Jiraiya, is it, I am a sage, just like you."

"Oh really" he responded with a sly look on his face and a twinkle in his eye.

"Yes" Roshi said with the same look and twinkle. They both started to laugh as everyone looked on disgusted.

"Aw great, TWO pervy sages" Naruto said, glumly.

"Hey, you seem all right", Jiraiya said, "you want to accompany me for some research?"

"Research? What do you research?" Roshi asked. Jiraiya whispered what his research was into Roshi's ear. When he heard, Roshi's face turned red and smoke started to come out of his ears.

"OOH YEAH! I LIKE YOUR STUDIES! I HOPE THERE'S HOMEWORK!"

And with that Roshi and Jiraiya ran off to the ladies steam rooms.

"It's like he found his soul mate" Chi-Chi commented.

"Well then, if everyone's done, GO GET THAT DRAGON BALL!" Vegeta said, and everyone nodded in agreement and went to do their assigned jobs.

(Outside Konoha)

The Z Fighters (with the exception of the women and Roshi), Team Kakashi, Team Kurenai, and Ino were following the direction that the Dragon Radar was taking them. Gohan and Naruto started to actually bond on the trail (saw that coming didn't you) while Sakura and Ino we're swooning over Gohan (he's just too handsome, isn't he?)

"Isn't he hot?" they both said at the same time.

"Wait, Ino, I thought you liked Sai?" Sakura asked.

"Who?" she asked.

Naruto and Gohan we're having a very in-depth conversation in the meantime.

"So you shot him with you Kamehame Wave and blew him up, that's awesome!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Yeah it was! And you did the Rasengan on him and he started to swirl around until he hit the wall! Amazing!"

"Awww", said Vegeta, "It's so adorable. Kids talking about killing people!"

"Your so twisted!" remarked Yamcha

"No, I didn't have a drink last night, though I did have one dry martini before we left the ship."

Suddenly, two figures dropped from the trees, surprising the group. They both had black cloaks, but one had an orange mask while the other was a blonde.

"Hello there!" said the one with the orange mask. Vegeta started to twitch, and Goku noticed.

"Vegeta, why are you twitching?" Goku asked.

"It's my stupid senses, I start to twitch when somebody stupid is nearby. I did it when I first met Nappa, I did it when I first saw you, and now I think one of them is stupid."

Goku observed the two. He saw the blonde named Deidara, who had a serious demeanor. He then observed the masked one, named Tobi. He was dancing around Deidara while singing "We're All In This Together" from High School Musical.

"Hmm", Goku wondered, "I think the blonde seems pretty dim."

"I guess the phrase 'stupid people can sense other stupid people' is false.

"I hear your searching for a Dragon Ball" Deidara continued.

"Yeah so!" Yamcha interrupted.

"Well, it seems as if we're looking for the same thing!"

"Ah, which means we get to kick your asses in order to get what we want" Vegeta said. "Good, I was wondering when I was going to get to fight." he said, turning Super Saiyan.

"Wow!", said Sakura, "What else can you guys do!"

"Don't worry, you'll be able to see real soon" Vegeta said. Just then Deidara put up his hand, and it stuck out it's tongue in a weird manner.

"Did his tongue just flirt with me?" Vegeta asked.

Tobi responded "That means it likes you!"

"SHUT UP TOBI!" Deidara interjected.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Akatsuki we're in a tree overlooking the action.

"When do we join in?" asked Konan.

"Later" answered Pain. He then turned toward Sasori and said,

"You know what, Tobi is right. Sasori, I think your supposed to be dead!" Sasori just turned and frowned.

(Konoha Gate)

"I hope something happens, I'm bored" Shikamaru said.

"Come on Shikamaru! This is an exciting mission Lady Tsunade gave to us! We should be honored!" Lee exclaimed.

Shikamaru just stared at him.

"I think you overdosed on your daily prescription of youth today."

Just then, a small person came out of the bushes.

"Hello there" he, who turned out to be Babidi, said.

"Wow, a talking cactus!" Tenten exclaimed.

"I AM NOT A TALKING CACTUS, I AM AN ALL POWERFUL WIZARD NAMED BABIDI!"

"Whoever you are, you shouldn't be here, so go away, or we'll make you" Shikamaru said, pulling out a kunai.

"Oh, I won't be here long. I just wanted to drop off my boys" he said, as The Buu's and Dabura came out of the bushes.

"Who are they!" shouted Neji.

"I'm Majin Buu!" said Super Buu. "And here's my little bro, Kid Buu!"

"And I'm Dabura!"

"Oh yeah, I'm going to have fun here!" Super Buu exclaimed.

"This is as far as you go!" said Lee, as he and the other young shinobi charged towards the demons.

Meanwhile, a young man was jumping on the treetops in a hurry. He heard from an anonymous source that someone who he has been searching for his whole life is in the area, and he wanted to pay a visit. He had a white, long sleeved shirt and black pants, and he wanted only one thing: revenge.

"I got you now Itachi. This time, I will kill you!" he said to himself, hopping atop the trees.

NEXT TIME ON DRAGON BALL ZCE!

The Z Fighters experience the power of the Akatsuki, while the rest of the Konoha 11 face Babidi and his minions. Along with that, Sasuke has his eyes set on meeting (and killing) Itachi. And let's not forget the two pervs in the ladies steam room

"EEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

SLAP!
