Authors Note: alright by now we should know the drill, all newbie's have to go back and read the first 3 sagas of this story first before you come to read this one, so please leave and come back when you finish, and for all of those who are returning welcome back and I hope you enjoy this new Saga. By the way there is a part of the recap that you have to read no matter what, because it's relevant to this plot, and technically it's not really a scene from the recap but from this episode, but it is in the recap. By the way this is the beginning of a new DBZ2 series that doesn't have really anything to do with the Drones, now it is the Demon series, although this saga is not really relevant to that title, it's an intermission, but still apart of the new Demon series.
Dragonball Z2 Episode 81: A strange and gooey toxic.
Narrator: after many weeks of trying and dealing with the loss of loved ones and the ailing hearts of the world, the Ultimate 5 was put to rest once and for all, after the defeat of Rike # 4…
Corpolius: (Looks to Rike # 4 with a look of sadness) I love you my child…
Rike # 4: master!? What!?
(The Dragon then reaches Rike # 4 and Corpolius in the form of the their own beam and the Z-fighters beam and just before it was about to hit them both Corpolius takes a quick jump in the air out of the way but Rike # 4 is not so lucky)
Rike # 4: (Is hit with the beam) ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! (He screams)
(The Z-fighters add more power)
Goku: goodbye Rike # 4!
(Rike # 4)
Rike # 4: (Is shown inside of the beam just looking as the beam is taking him back) (His voice is muffled as he says this as he is beginning to disintegrate) I am free! I am free! I am free! I am free! I am free! I AM FRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! (Suddenly starts to discombobulate and blows into millions of tiny pieces)
(The beam moves upwards towards space)
(Space is shown as the beam is shown flying into space way from Planet Earth, the beam of which contained Rike # 4)
Narrator: and after that wishes were granted to restore everything to the way it was before…
(Shenron is shown in the darkened sky)
Shenron: speak your wishes now! I do not want to wait. (He says in his large voice)
Goku: (Is shown speaking them) could you please wish everyone back that was killed by the Ultimate 5? And mend the damage of the cities?
Shenron: it shall be done… (His eyes glow red)
(West City)
(Capsule corp. is suddenly standing once again and the rest of the city resurfaced)
(Z-TV)
Leroy Ju-tong: (Along side his reporters is shown standing looking at his body in his office) I'm alive… I can't believe it…
Reporter # 1: it's a miracle!
Reporter # 2: yeah I know!
Leroy: shut up.
(They both cover their mouths)
(After that more people in the cities are shown getting back up)
(The Lookout)
Goku: and one more wish, could you please wish back everyone that was killed by Rya # 1?
Shenron: easy…
Goku: oh good, it worked, thanks for mending the balls Dende.
Dende: don't mention it Goku.
(World Tournament floor)
(All the people massacred by Rya are shown getting back up)
Mike: (Tournament announcer)(Is shown in the center ring) (Looking at his body) I'm alive?
(A wide opened area)
(The soldiers that were killed by Rya are waking up)
Soldier # 1: were alive!?
Solider # 2: I could have sworn we were dead…
(Back to the Lookout)
Shenron: your wishes have been granted, and the 7 positive dragons would like to show their thanks… farewell. (Shoots up into the air and then shoots the 7 balls in different directions)
Goku: you're welcome…
Narrator: now… it has been a year since the defeat of Rike # 4, and the Z-fighters have adjusted to normal life… but that's never saying too much as there is always something on the horizon that will jump in to challenge our heroes.
(In West City)
(People are shown walking around the city)
(A Manhole is shown up-close; suddenly something burst out of it, but not only that one manhole other manholes in the city as well have some weird toxic chemical substances busting out from under them)
Person: what is this?
Person # 2: I don't know…
Person # 3: (Walks close up to one of the toxic manholes and exams it) I think it's some kind of toxic black waste or maybe- (Does not get to finish the sentence)
(Some toxic purposely went on the man)
Person # 3: (Starts screaming in pain because the toxic is burning him alive)
Person # 2: oh no!
Person: what is this!?
(The toxic completely consumes the man and then jumps to the other two and consumes them as well, burning them into nothing)
(The View goes and more toxic is shown as it enters the city like a flooding ocean, and busts through manholes and other things)
Narrator: what is the source of this toxic waste? And who is behind it? Find out today on Dragonball Z2!
(Goku's house)
Goku: (Is sitting at the table with Krillian, Master Roshi, Gohan and others as they eat lunch) now this is the best Chi-Chi! (Starts eating his food really fast)
Gohan: I think I'm entitled to agree mom, this is great! (Eats his food but a lot more slower and more with manners then his father)
Chi-Chi: well it is a new recipe I've been working on.
Goten: (Eating standing up) what is it mom?
Chi-Chi: I won't tell, it's a secret.
Goku: well whatever it is, it sure tastes really good. Mmm-hmmm, delicious!
Krillian: you know you never seize to amaze me Goku when it comes down to food.
Goku: well what can I say it's great!
(Everyone laughs at the table)
Roshi: hmm… (Looks towards the TV) hey there saying something about West City over there!
Everyone: huh?
(Everyone walks over to the TV)
Goten: what's going on?
(Reporter in a helicopter over West City)
Reporter: and what appears to be some black Toxic continues to ooze through the streets of West City, though it has not covered the whole city yet, it still very much could as it continues to spread…
Chi-Chi: horrible!
Reporter: our sources do not know the cause of this event occurring in the city, but civilian causalities are expected to be high considering we have had reports of excruciating burns and wounds from this toxic chemical. Authorities have dispatched special anti poison chemicals to hopefully place over the toxic but even that as said by the Bureau of poison will not be enough to fully contain the toxic as it has grown to large in mass. Our best bet is to wait and see if it hardens and then they will remove it by other means later… we will have more on this story later as crisis the crisis in West City continues…
Goku: I can tell that the toxic hasn't reached Capsule Corp. yet so that's a good sign.
Goten: I have to get down there dad! Bra is going to be in trouble! (Is about to run away when Goku shouts to him)
Goku: there will be no need Goten; this is just a small little job that needs to be taken care of. I'll make sure no one else gets hurt by this toxic, so I'll go and blow it away on my own.
Goten: I see…
Goku: don't worry Goten, Bra will be fine.
Goten: right!
Gohan: are you sure you couldn't use some extra help dad? I could go with you.
Goku: no, you all just enjoy yourselves here, I'll be back faster then you can say Shenron! (Runs out of the house)
Chi-Chi: I really need a leash for that man…
Krillian: well at least he does what other people are too afraid to do.
Chi-Chi: yeah.
Roshi: that's Goku for ya…
(West City)
(The toxic is shown as it moves down the streets with bubbles and other liquidly things happening as it continues to consume the city)
Goku: (Comes flying in over the city and looks down at the Toxic movements) man there's a lot more here then I thought there was… maybe I should have had someone else come with me…
Voices: help us! Someone help us!
Goku: huh?
Voices: -we need help!
-Is anyone out there!?
Goku: don't worry I'm coming!
(There are 3 people standing in a concrete area that has yet to be touched by the toxic but is higher elevated off the ground, so the toxic is surrounding them but not touching them)
Goku: (Flies down on the platform the people are on) there we go, here I am, now everyone please remain calm, I'm going to get you all out of this area.
Person # 1: please hurry sir! I think those chemicals are about to reach us!
Goku: nothing a little flight can't handle. (Hold onto my waste)
(They listen without question)
Goku: alright let's go! (He flies into the air with the people holding onto him, he flies to an area that has yet to be touched by the toxic and he lands on the ground and the people let go of him) there you go!
Person # 2: thank you sir!
Person # 3: will never forget you!
Goku: don't worry about it, now I recommend you all get some where safe, I'll deal with the toxic. (Flies back into the air)
Person # 1: was that Goku?
Person # 2: yeah man I think it was.
Person # 3: man Goku has like 10 million different hairstyles. That could have been anyone.
Person # 1: but still… wow…
(Goku)
Goku: (Is flying over the toxic again) oh man, it's starting to make it's way up the buildings now… damn…
(Suddenly someone screams out loud)
Woman: help us!
Man: someone!
(It is a couple on top of a building that is being consumed by the toxic)
Goku: oh man… now I really wish I had someone come with me…
Voice: don't worry Kakorot.
Goku: (Turns around) Vegeta! Just the man I wanted to see!
Vegeta: I saw the report on the news and realized this toxic could reach my house, and I'm not going to stand for crap like that. We do our best to make the house look perfect, we don't need any stupid chemicals to ruin that!
Goku: well good…
Vegeta: so what do we do?
Goku: I've been saving people so far… but it's becoming quite a hassle… I need your help too.
Vegeta: why don't you just blast it all out of the city!?
Goku: I can't do that yet! There are still people who are alive! We have to get them out first and then will blast it out of the city!
Vegeta: (Sighs) these are the times where I wish there were no survivors… fine I'll go find some and you take care of the two on the roof right now.
Goku: right!
Vegeta: (Flies off in search of those in need)
Goku: (Shout to the couple) I'm coming! (He flies up the building)
(The Building is about to get completely consumed)
Goku: grab onto me!
(The man and the woman grab onto Goku)
Goku: (Puts his fingers on his forehead and then disappears after using Instant Transmission)
(They appear outside of the Chemical ridden part of the city)
Goku: alright you two find somewhere to hide, okay?
Woman: right away Goku sir!
Man: yeah!
(They both run off)
Goku: (Turns around and looks towards the Toxic ridden part of the city) darn… I still feel more peoples presence in there… if we don't get them all out soon then the toxic will spread will spread over more of the city… I guess will have to be quick… (Puts his fingers on his head and uses Instant Transmission again)
(Vegeta)
Vegeta: (Is shown flying around looking around for survivors) where the hell are they!? WILL YOU STUPID LIVNG PEOPLE SHOUT FOR GOODNESS SAKES LIKE REAL PEOPLE IN DISTRESS!?
(Suddenly a big group of people in a car parking lot start shouting out loud)
Man # 1: were down here!
Man # 2: help us!
Woman # 1: please!
Woman # 2: that toxic will cover this place any second now!
Vegeta: (To himself) took you morons long enough to make that clear. (Flies down to the Parking Lot) how many are there here?
Man # 1: there are 6 of us!
Vegeta: okay then, I can carry 3, so the women grab onto me first.
(The 3 women there hold onto Vegeta)
Woman # 3: wow… what a graceful man…
Vegeta: umm… (Blushes)
(They hold on)
Vegeta: you 3 make sure you hold on tight, and you 3 remaining here I'll be back in a moment.
Man # 3: hurry sir! Please!
Man # 2: if that toxic reaches us were as good as dead!
Vegeta: stop whining! (Takes lift off with the 3 women and flies towards the untouched part of the city)
Man # 1: geez, what an attitude on that one.
Man # 2: show him some respect he's a Z-fighter!
Man # 1: what!? That was one of them!? No way!
(Vegeta)
Vegeta: (Puts the 3 girls down on the ground away from the toxic) now you 3 get out of here and as far away from the toxic as you can!
(They nod their heads and run off)
Vegeta: alright, here I come back… (Flies back into the city and back to the parking lot, he sees to his horror that the toxic is entering the parking lot and moving really fast towards the remaining 3 men) damn it! I have to be quick about it! (Flies down at fast speeds towards the 3 men)
Man # 1: it won't stop!
Man # 2: were dead!
Man # 3: I want my mommy!
Vegeta: (Reaches them) quiet! Grab onto my arms! (He is standing on the ground)
(The toxic reaches them and actually touched Vegeta's boots)
Vegeta: arrgg…
(There is some smoke coming from his boots into the air)
Vegeta: (Is still able to get out with the 3 men in hand and fly out of the city)
(He sees the 3 men off and then flies in the air again)
Vegeta: (Looks down at his boots) man… that hurt…
(After some time both Goku and Vegeta continue to rescue more and more people and decide it was time to start blasting)
Goku: (Appears in the sky after using Instant Transmission over the Toxic)
Vegeta: (Comes flying next to Goku) Kakorot, what that everyone that we could get?
Goku: yeah… as far as I can tell… if there are any stragglers though… then I'm sorry but we have to do this now before the toxic gets too far into the city.
Vegeta: I agree, we can undo the damage with the Dragonballs the next chance we get.
Goku: right.
Vegeta: okay, so are we ready?
Goku: yeah.
Vegeta: okay then.
Goku: (Puts his hand into formation) let's hit right in the middle of it, that way we it might lose its source and its directional path.
Vegeta: okay, I understand.
Goku: KA-MAE-HAEMAE-
Vegeta: GALICK-
Goku: -HA!!
Vegeta: -GUN!
(Both Goku and Vegeta at the same time shoot off their signature moves blowing right into the middle of the toxic liquid, there is a big hole made and it looked as it would lose its composure but it suddenly regenerates itself back together and continues to cover the city)
Vegeta: damn!
Goku: okay, okay let's just try it again, going into this we knew we'd have to do it more then once.
Vegeta: fine, let's do it again!
(They both shoot off their signature beams again but the affect is the same)
Vegeta: this isn't working Kakorot!
Goku: let's just try a few more times, okay?
Vegeta: arrgg… fine.
(They continue their onslaught)
(The Lookout)
(Dende and Mr. Popo stand together and Piccolo stands at the edge of the Lookout)
Dende: what is it Piccolo?
Mr. Popo: yeah… you've been standing there all morning?
Dende: is it something about that Toxic waste?
Piccolo: that toxic waste is no ordinary toxic waste… I sense a disturbance in that Toxic.
Dende: what do you mean?
Piccolo: since when has toxic waste ever had a power level?
Mr. Popo: you mean…?
Piccolo: this toxic is contracting off a weak power level, but even so it could build up and get stronger, whatever it's doing to West City could be apart of some mass absorption.
Dende: oh no… that's terrible.
Piccolo: Goku and Vegeta saved a lot of people but their power beams seem to be failing against it.
Mr. Popo: do you have any idea what it is?
Piccolo: no… but I think will find out soon enough.
Dende: I really hope its power doesn't go too high… if it does then I know what will happen.
Piccolo: yeah, will be fighting something again. To be honest with you I'd say it's about time.
Dende and Mr. Popo: huh?
Piccolo: I've been pretty board this last year. I think I could use a good fight. (Fixes a crick in his neck)
Dende: …
Mr. Popo: well let's just hope that won't happen.
Dende: I agree Popo.
Piccolo: …
(Somewhere far off in Oub's village)
Oub: (Is shown standing outside looking into the air) Mind: I can tell Piccolo feels it too… that toxic is either carrying something or is something. But whatever it is, it has to be stopped.
Oub's father: Oub! It's time for the village feast!
Oub: I'll be there in a minute! (He shouts) Mind: I do hope Goku and Vegeta can handle it…
(Goku and Vegeta)
(They blast off another shot making another large hole but it goes back together again)
Vegeta: (Breathing heavily) Kakorot! Let's stop wasting energy, this isn't working!
Goku: yeah I thought so… maybe we should punch it out, or something.
Vegeta: no, Kakorot, I witnessed myself what that stuff can do, it burns off to high heaven if we go in that stuff we will be as good as cooked.
Goku: darn… then what can we do?
Vegeta: maybe we can combine an attack together… maybe if we keep shooting one blast and keep it contracted on the toxic then perhaps we can continue to enlarge the hole until it blows all the way out of the city.
Goku: good, that sounds like a plan.
Vegeta: alright, on your signal Kakorot!
Goku: okay.
(Goku looks for the right moment to attack the toxic)
Goku: almost…
(The Toxic continues its onslaught)
Goku: almost…
Vegeta: hurry!
Goku: just a little more…
(The Toxic is prepared to make waves in the air)
Goku: alright, now!
(Both Goku and Vegeta together shoot out beams and combine them both together)
(The double beam reaches the toxic and smashes into it)
Goku: alright! Don't let go of it until it gets completely blown back!
Vegeta: right!
(They continue to hold onto the double beam as the hole begins to get larger)
(A lot of the Toxic is beginning to leave the city)
Goku: almost there…
(Gohan's house)
Pan: (Opens the door to the house and walks outside) hmm… I feel something strange out there…
Goken: (Comes running out with Pan) (He is no longer wearing a kiddy robe anymore but he's wearing a little yellow jacket with pointy hair, but he is still young, he's only 4 years old now) what is it sis?
Pan: don't tell me you don't feel that?
Goken: it feels kind of funny…
Pan: my words exactly.
Goken: (He then completely changes the subject) when is dad going to get home?
Pan: (Has a sweat drop) he said he'd be back by 3:00… now let's get back to important stuff here, as far as I can tell dad might be getting into trouble.
Goken: trouble?
Pan: you know that toxic thing that was shown on TV?
Goken: yeah.
Pan: well it has a power level. But for some reason grandpa and Vegeta haven't noticed yet.
Goken: how come?
Pan: I think it might be because they've focused so much on their own power that they haven't gotten a chance to notice it yet.
Goken: that's not good…
Pan: even so it's kind of weak… I think they'll be able to handle whatever that bad boy is.
Goken: I hope…
Pan: don't worry Goken they'll be fine, I mean grandpa has saved the world more times then you can lick a lollypop.
Goken: that's a funny terminology…
Pan: umm… where did you learn that word?
Goken: I heard dad using it the other day around mom and just started saying it… it sounds cool!
Pan: Mind: great, another genius… Out of mind: let's just go back inside and if grandpa needs us, will go, if not then okay.
Goken: okay sis!
(They both go inside)
(Goku and Vegeta)
(They continue to blow the combined beam towards the liquid toxic making the hole larger and larger)
Goku: okay! Alright! I think we've almost got it!
Vegeta: it's about damn time!
(Just as they thought the hole was large enough and the toxic was leaving, suddenly the toxic starts fighting through the beam to get back to where it was before)
Vegeta: what!?
Goku: how is it able to do that!?
Vegeta: let's not ask questions let's go Super Sayian and really show it who's boss!
Goku: okay…
(They both Go Super Sayian and add a lot more power to their beam making the hole go back again)
Vegeta: it's not coming back from this one!
Goku: …
(Suddenly after a little while the toxic starts coming back together again)
Goku: you're kidding!
Vegeta: damn…
Goku: I don't know what's going on but it seems to be learning from our tactics, it's able to consume even our most powerful beams.
Vegeta: you think I haven't noticed that yet!
Goku: I don't know what we can do…
Vegeta: will have to blow up this entire portion of the city.
Goku: what!? Vegeta you'll destroy and kill more then we had intended.
Vegeta: we can fix it later with the Dragonballs!
Goku: and how can you even guarantee will destroy the Toxic?
Vegeta: arrgg…
Goku: exactly, there has to be another way…
Vegeta: well I think we should- (Look towards the Toxic) wait… Kakorot… look. (Points towards it)
Goku: huh? (Looks towards the toxic) what's it doing?
(The toxic is shown and it looks like it is going backwards are retreating back away from the rest of the city, it is moving away from them at fast speeds)
Vegeta: where the hell is it going?
Goku: I don't know… I think we should follow it.
(They both start flying after it and they notice the ground and how much damage to the city the toxic had done)
Goku: Mind: will undo all of this damage, I promise you all…
(Goku and Vegeta continue to follow the liquid toxic until it reaches the town square, where all of the toxic that was once covering the city is in the town square)
Goku: why did it come down here?
Vegeta: I have no idea… well we can say it defiantly has a mind of its own.
Goku: so this toxic is living?
Vegeta: wait a second… I can feel a power level!
Goku: whoa! So can I!
Vegeta: brace yourself Kakorot! I think it's about to do something!
(All of the toxic starts suddenly moving together scrunching together and getting less and less dense, the toxic starts to get smaller and smaller as it begins to form something, this keeps happening as the toxic is no longer shown all over the town square it is coming off the ground and bunching together with other molecules of toxic)
Vegeta: what is going on here!?
Goku: I have no idea…
(After all the toxic completely disappears from the ground, the toxic in the air is still bunching together forming some sort of being)
Vegeta: whatever it's forming is where the energy is coming from.
Goku: I can tell.
(The toxic as it is forming something starts to look more like it has hands, feet, legs, and a head)
Vegeta: it's here…
Goku: stay ready Vegeta.
(Whatever was formed from the toxic is shown looking into the sky and then it puts its head down and looks at Goku and Vegeta, it has normal eyes with black pupils like Goku's, it has big what appears to be floppy ears on the sides of its head, it is a black creature that is made from liquid toxic, and it is the size of Kid Buu, it also does not have any clothes on what so ever as all it is, is toxic)
Creature: (Looks at himself, he then looks up at Goku and Vegeta) Merl want big power… you give Merl big power now! (It sounds like a cross between Baby and Fat Majin Buu) (He sounds childish)
Goku: Merl?
Vegeta: how bizarre, what is this thing?
Goku: it sounds like an unintelligent little kid or something…
Merl: (Looks at Goku and Vegeta)
Narrator: what in the world has just formed in front of Goku and Vegeta's very eyes? And can it possibly be strong enough to beat the Earth's greatest Heroes? Considering it's act I'd say no, but that wouldn't be the first time something kid like has laid waste to the universe, find out more on the next griping episode of Dragonball Z2!
Scenes: next time on Dragonball Z2, the name of this creature is Merl and he is what Rya calls a Toxicity, an annoying little beast that consumes waste, sewage, chemicals, and people, it is a pest and not something too strong… but even so this Merl might have a few tricks up his sleeves that could change the course of his existence… next time on Dragonball Z2!
