Chapter 2-The impossible occurs: Pilaf gets a wish

In Pilaf's airship, Pilaf and Doob sit in the throne room staring at the Dragon balls they had gathered.

Pilaf-I never knew this partnership would turn out so terrifically. I've never held this many Dragon balls for so long. (IM) It's amazing that little brat Goku hasn't been seen yet, we've held his 4 star ball for over a week and a half. But after we get the Dragon balls together, I will wish to release the mighty Garlic to give me the power I need to rid the world of all those annoying martial arts punks who keep ruining all my plans!

Doob-Soon we will be able to call Shenron and get revenge upon Capsule Corporation and those friends of Bulma Brief. After we find the last 2 the world will be safe for everyone and Bulma will get what is coming to her.

Mai walks into the throne room.

Mai-Pilaf, Mr. Doob we have confirmed the location of the 6th Dragon ball to be near a lake just shy north of East City in the 237 north district. The 7th Dragon ball is from what we gathered in the ocean off the southern coast of West City.

Doob-Excellent, you and Shoo take a plane to recover the ball in West City. Pilaf and I, we're going to East City! We will have them all gathered by sunset!!

In a remote area of the world Piccolo floats deep in meditation. He is violently pulled from his meditation.

Piccolo-(IM) I don't like these images I'm seeing. The balanced achieved by the Earth after Buu's defeat has been disturbed. Something… dark is coming. I should talk to Dende at the lookout.

Over at Mount Paozu, ChiChi and Bulma are setting up the house preparing for Gohan and Videl to visit for summer break. ChiChi and Bulma are setting up decorations for a little welcome home get together. Trunks and Goten are playing video games in the Living Room Gohan and Videl walk in. Vegeta and Goku are sitting on the couch observing Trunks and Goten.

Gohan-Mother, we're here!

ChiChi-Gohan, Videl you made it! Make yourselves at home guys.

Bulma-Gohan, we left you some gifts over on the table, go check them out.

Gohan-Thanks Bulma!

On top of the boxed gift was a card from Vegeta of all people. Gohan picks it up and reads it. It says:

"Stop screwing around. You screw around too much… Welcome home. V."

Goku-You should seen the one Vegeta mailed me for my birthday.

"I will pierce your heart with my bare hands and hold it before your eyes so you can see it as you die! Happy Birthday. V"

Gohan- Morbid. Sweat bead on forehead

Vegeta-Kakarot, when are we going to settle the fight between us? I'm getting sick of waiting.

Goku-Sorry man, It just keeps slipping my mind what with all the villains and ongoing training.

Vegeta-Oh that line might have worked when we were dealing with those Android junkers but there hasn't been a real threat since that fat tub of Bubblicious moved in on us.

Goku-What did I tell you about lawsuits???

Vegeta(Big Head) Just admit it Kakarot, you've been chickening out on me.

Goku-(IM)He has me totally figured… S***… (aloud) of course not Vegeta, but in all fairness, last time we fought, you punched me in the gut like 20 times, and I TOLD you if I were to fight you, to please not punch me in the gut.

Vegeta-(Head gets bigger)I told you I was sorry after I was resurrected. How many times are you gonna hold that against me?

Goku-(Head bigger than Vegeta's) you didn't spit up the most delicious egg rolls ever tasted, and the pork. And the lizard, and the shrimp, and sushi, and pound cake, that roast beef, some chicken, and not to mention the pizza. CHICHI WHERE'S THE FOOD MY STOMACH IS SHAKING THE PLANET!
Vegeta turns his attention to the video games

Vegeta-Kakarot, have you seen that game Halo? Bulma bought it for Trunks just the other day and I just got a thrill from annihilating all these online users. I didn't think it would be a challenge but I was surprised.

Goku-What, beating a bunch of geeks online?

Vegeta-No Kakarot, I tracked them down, flew to each user's house and blasted each one of them.

Goku-You couldn't have Vegeta!

Vegeta-Of course I did, they were hindering the development of the Earth becoming a warrior race.

Goten (whispers to Trunks)-That explains why there was that decline in network play.

Trunks-I wouldn't know. He stole the game from me 2 hours after I got it...

Trunks and Goten bow their heads and let out a big sigh.

Meanwhile Mai and Shoo are in capsule submarines searching the depths for the ocean for the elusive Dragon ball. Mai and Shoo lift and move boulders, look about with searchlights. Shoo sees a glimmer in the distance at the edge of his spot light. They approach the ball and gather around it.

Shoo- It's been a long road but finally this dog is having his day. Nothing has gone wrong.

Mai-Must you keep saying how well things are going? Every time we have a strike of good luck something or someone stops us short of our goal and leaves us with nothing.

Shoo-Well this time I really think it is different

Shoo bends down to pick up the ball, behind Mai and Shoo appears a rather large figure swimming and floating. They turn around and see a monstrous fish ready to make them it's next meal.

Both- AHHHHHHHH!!!! they swim away with the fish in hot pursuit

On the shore of the beach, Pilafs airship sits on the shore with Doob and Pilaf waiting near the shore.

Doob- Where did you get your hired help?

Pilaf- Internet. Looked on that craigslist site.

Doob- Don't you feel like you got ripped off or anything?

Shoo and Mai emerge from the water abruptly running in fear. Shoo's sub is half bitten off as a leg is bitten off. They are beached and they crawl from the wrecked machines. The fish is still in the water shaking his fin at them.

Pilaf- You get what you pay for.

Shoo- (panting) here's the Dragon ball your worship

Pilaf- Did you have any idea how long you kept us waiting. MY SOFT DRINK IS FLAT NOW!

Shoo is hit on the head with a bitten off part of the sub and leaves bump on the noggin

Pilaf-Oh I swear you're getting the royal vapors later!

Doob- Pilaf focus, we have finally reached our goal. Let's not waste anymore time, our destinies await! Summon the dragon!

Pilaf- It's time we got rewarded for our years of failures! (He spills the other 6 balls next to the one Shoo brought) Come forth Shenron, we awaken you!

A shot of piccolo and dende at the lookout looking down upon the Earth. The sky starts to grow dark. Lightning bolts streak across the sky.

Piccolo-I don't like this.

Over at Mount Paozu, the two families are outside getting food gathered. The dark clouds roll in and the thunder starts to rumble

Videl-Gohan, I didn't think it was supposed to rain today

Gohan- (looks with concern) I don't think that's an ordinary storm.

Goku- Someone is summoning Shenron. Vegeta.

Vegeta nods

Pilaf, Doob, Mai and Shoo stand in front of the mighty Shenron, the Eternal Dragon.

Dragon- Those who have gathered all seven Dragon balls and summoned me here, quickly speak your two wishes!
