-Chapter 1: Search for the Dragon Balls-
"Okay, it should be just ahead..." Goten and Trunks were flying while searching for the Dragon Balls when they saw two figures below them. "Down there!" said Trunks. "The radar says its down there with those two people...After getting closer to the figures, a large smile appeared on Goten's face. "Its Gohan!" Gohan had appeared to be talking to a black haired girl around his age. "Give me the ball, Gohan!", said the girl, expressing her rage. "Sorry, Videl, I was already going to give it to Goten. Speaking of Goten, here he is now. Hey, catch!" He threw it in the air, and Goten flew forward, perfectly catching the four star ball. "Thanks Gohan!" "No problem." The last thing the small duo saw before leaving was Videl stomping her feet.
Its very cold in the northern mountains. Its not very common to see people hiking up there. So no one would've noticed a man in dark red robes climbing. When he reached a large nest, he reached up and looked among the large eggs. Among the eggs was an orange, one star ball. "Bingo." said the mysterious man, and he climbed back down into the darkness below...
Goten and Trunks reached a large palace when the radar showed that the ball was inside. Interested, they walked inside, but not before being stopped by gaurds. "Halt! Who goes there?" "Hello, my name is Trunks. Could I speak with your king?" The man looked offended. "What fool do you take me for? The rightful ruler of this palace is Queen Morasia. Go now with your tall tales!" "If you won't let us in, we'll force our way in." "HA, i'd like to see you try. His mistake...
If you lived in this part of the forest, then you would be used to the sound of falling trees everyday. In the middle of this particular forest lived a lumber jack. He was very strong, for he has hardened his skill from working the toughest trees. That's what everyone thinks. He is a trained martial arts man, and has been in the World Martial Arts Tournament. The only reason hes never been in the finals is because he was beaten by a boy with spiky hair, a boy with no nose, and a strange man with three eyes, and they turned out to be in the finals. One day, he had found an orange ball with seven stars and kept it. On this particular day, a man with dark red robes came to him in his log cabin. The lumber jack (Mack is his name) wondered what this strange man was doing out here. "Are you lost?", Mack asked. "No, I wan't your Dragon Ball." Mack was now confused beyond bewilderment. What is a Dragon Ball? "Sorry, but I have no idea what your talking about." "Its an orange ball, with one to seven stars." Mack had new that trash had to be worth something, and this just confirmed it. Hes not gonna give it up without a fight. "Oh, that eh? And what if I don't want to give it to you? You gonna fight me for it?" "If that's what I must." "Then your in for some trouble." Mack lifted up his hist and swung it at his opponent...
"Queen Morasia, your highness! There is trouble outside the gates!" A woman wraped in red velvet silk with a crown tilted on her head sat in a chair of high quality. "Send the guards." "But, your highness. Even our finest warriors have been beaten like they were nothing." "Do you know what they want?" "They wish to speak with you." "Then do not waste anymore soldiers! Let them in!" "Yes your highness" A few minutes later, Goten and Trunks walked in. Children. My finest warriors were beaten by mere children? "What do you want?" Goten looked up and saw an orange decoration in her jeweled crown. "We would like to have that ball in your crown." "Oh this? All that trouble for this? Sure." The duo's faces brightened."But first, since you caused me all that trouble, I would like for you to clear out a group of bandits nearby. There to the west. I think you are... capable." Goten looked at his fingers. "Which way is west again?"(ten minutes later) "Okay, Goten. We're here. Tjey should be in that clearing over there." "Trunks, can I take them all on? You always get to have all the fun." "Lets split them between us. Then it'll be fair." "But your better then me at math. You might cheat." While they were busy arguing, the bandits in the clearing had over heard them. "Looky what we have here." "Two little kids off alone." "Wheres your mommy?" The group of criminals all erupted into laughter. Goten looked over and got into a battle stance. "Bet I can take out more than you." dared Trunks. "Okay, lets see." replied Goten. The battle lasted ten seconds. "Now lets go get our prize!"
Mack couldn't believe his eyes. The man actually dodged his attack. Whats more, the man delivered a quick blow to Mack while he was open. Mack fell to the ground from this blow, and his robed oppenent began searching the room, unaware that Mack was still awake. Its safe to just play it off until he leaves, thought Mack. After ten minutes of searching, the man finally found what he was looking for: the seven star Dragon Ball. When the man began to walk out of the room, Mack got up and tried a sneak attack. "Nice try," said the man, and he made sure Mack fell unconscious this time. "By now, those kids must have the rest. Now its just a matter of taking candy from a baby..."
Trunks and Goten now had two Dragon Balls, and were getting closer. "Wow, Trunks. Look!", exclaimed Goten, pointing ahead. Just beyond them was a huge tree with many fruits. At the bottom was a large gathering of people. "The Dragon Ball must be in place with on of those fruit." Sure enough, a Dragon Ball was among the leaves of the dense tree. "Challengers, step right up! Whoever can beat my champion will win a fruit from the Grand Tree!" "Easy enough," said Trunks, with a smirk similar to Vegeta's. "Beat it, your just a kid" "Your just afraid" "That's it! Show him who , who... uhhh..." The man stared amazingly at his champion, who was lying on the ground at the hands of Trunks. "We'll be taking this", said Goten. "Hey, Goten! The rest are all gathered together. That's weird..."
Trunks and Goten were in the woods, sitting and eating sandwiches Chichi packed. "Murn, dish ish guuuud" "I know! Mai mon ish a grate cuuk!" They stopped talking immediatly, hearing something in the trees over head. Suddenly, white powder sprinkled from overhead. "What ish dish stuuf..." They both began to feel drowsy. Then they fell to the ground. A man in a dark red robe fell from overhead, accompanied by four others. "I'll be taking those," said one of the group, taking some of the Dragon Balls. "Sleeping powder, works every time." They split up, leaving the kids in the middle of the the woods. Unfortunately, a certain man had noticed something is up, and is heading over to check if everything is all right...
