p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"strongemOn the last Dragon Ball E, Zuchin had his first taste of the Afterlife. Not at all pleased with moving on, he was finally told he could go train with King Kai. But he had to travel the perilous Snake Way. But nothing seemed to happen on Snake Way for Zuchin. Meanwhile, on Earth, Okro went against Menken's decision and started to search for the Dragon Balls. Dragon radar in hand, it should be an easy task, right? But some strange peril always lies on the road ahead when searching for the Dragon Balls. What dangers will Okro face? Find out, today, on Dragon Ball E!/em/strong/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Wind rushed across Okro's determined face, blowing his one bang out of his eyes. The rest of his hair was blown back by the wind, and he glared into the wind as he flew. He looked down at the Dragon Radar again, pressing the button to turn it on. There was the one ball in the center; that was the 3 star ball he already had. Then, up ahead, was another ball. It wasn't far now… He kept flying forward until the ball was lined up with the center mark. He started to slowly descend, looking around. The area was devastated. Very little was left of Earth's Royal City. There was some shrubbery at the edge of the city, but that was about it. Okro stuffed the radar into the bag he carried, and looked around./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""Caula's been here. Damn. But he left the Dragon Ball… does he know it's here?" Okro looked around hesitantly, finally touching down. He walked over towards a small set of bushes. As he drew closer, he heard the sound of chattering teeth. "Who's there?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"There was a cry of fear, and a man came scampering out, running the opposite direction. Okro knew what to do, though, and with a flash of speed beyond the range of the human eye, he was on the other side of him, looking him in the eyes. "Who are you?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""Me? Uh, uh, uh, uh… I'm the King… of the… World…"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Okro groaned. An utterly useless person… "I'm looking for a small ball… It's absolutely essential that I find it. It's orange, with orange stars on it."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"The King of the World blinked. "You mean like this one?" He started fumbling around in his pockets and after several tense moments, produced the 6 star ball. Okro's eyes widened. "That's it!" Okro was about to take it, when the ground started to shake. The ball fell from the King's hands./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"The King cried out. "Oh no! An earthquake!" A fissure was starting to form. Okro looked around for the source and saw Caula, laughing insanely. The ball was rolling away from Okro and the King towards the fissure at an alarming rate. "Oh, great…" Okro rushed after it, reaching the edge just in time to let it slip through his fingers. "NOOOO!"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Caula seemed overly pleased, but Okro dove in, and Caula's grin died. Magma served as the chasm's floor… shit. As Okro fell, he cupped his hands to his side. "Kaaaaameeeee… haaaaameeeee…" A glowing blue ball of energy formed between his hands, and he pushed them forward, his cry echoing across the chasm. "HAAAAA!" The beam shot straight down, displacing a huge amount of magma straight down. Okro started to fly, straight down, for all he was worth, finally passing the ball. He opened his bag and held it just beneath the ball, catching the ball in the bag./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""Phew…" The magma was starting to come back up to him… "Shit. Gotta go." He shot straight back up again, narrowly avoiding the backsplash as the magma fell in on itself./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Caula did not seem pleased at all. "YOU!"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Okro grinned. "Who, little ol' me?" He glanced at his wrist as though looking at a watch. Though it had a glove on it, he pretended to have seen the time. "Uh-oh, would you look at that? I'm late. I'm late, I'm late, I'm very, very late. I'm very late for a very important date. Gotta fly." He shot off in the other direction as fast as he could fly. He even went Super Saiyajin so he could fly faster. Caula was catching up with him, though, and fast. Okro only hoped he could outrun him long enough… emThis was /emNOTem the plan… How did Caula know? Of course! He tracked my energy signature here… Now he knows I'm collecting these. What to do, what to do, what to do…/em/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Okro turned around quickly and tossed the bag into the air, pulling his hands to his side and cupping them. "Kamehame… HAAAAA!" Caula, who'd been following right behind him, got the blast full in the face, and was sent downwards. Okro caught the bag and shot off in a random direction before Caula had a chance to see where Okro had gone./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Okro powered down after a ways to keep Caula from tracking him. He completely suppressed his power level. "I have to travel on foot from now on." He landed, pressing the button on the Dragon Radar. "Where to next?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Zuchin, however, was having a bit of a problem. "You want me… to do what?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""Catch Bubbles."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""You want me to catch the monkey?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""Yes."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""You're kidding."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""No, I'm not. And you can't power up to Super Saiyajin, either."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""You honestly think I'd need that to catch the monkey?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""No, but you might."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Growling, and quite reluctant, Zuchin turned to look at the monkey, only to notice it was gone. "Hey, where'd he- He was just- He was right there!" King Kai turned around and started walking slowly away. Sighing, Zuchin started to scan the small planet with his eyes. Finally, he spotted the little bugger, and started to chase after him. That little monkey was fast! He ran and ran, chasing him around the planet several times. Finally, he dove after the monkey, and narrowly missed it. Bubbles scurried off./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Zuchin slowly faded out of existence, reappearing in front of Bubbles and knocking him over, grabbing him by the tail. "Gotcha."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"King Kai walked over. "Hmmm… the After-Image technique, eh? I haven't had someone to master the gravity here so fast in ages."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Zuchin blinked. "Ummm… I just call it being in two places at once. And the gravity here is just like the gravity on Vegeta."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""Well, still, that's quite fast. Now it's time for your next training. It's quite hard."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""I'm ready."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"King Kai inhaled deeply, and suddenly yelled, "COOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""What was that? See if I could survive being yelled at?" It had been right in Zuchin's face./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""I yelled at the very top of my lungs." Zuchin was almost surprised to hear that King Kai had lungs./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""I see." That was the same moment that the sound of King Kai yelling passed them again. "I don't even want to know."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Out of nowhere, a glowing ball of blue light appeared. This was an action that has bewildered fans for many years. Suddenly, the ball hit Zuchin, sending him flying./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""What the hell?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"The ball seemed to disappear, replaced by a floating cricket. King Kai spoke before anyone else got the chance. "Zuchin, meet Gregory."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""It's a cricket."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""I'm not just a cricket! I'm a martial arts master! Show some respect!"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Zuchin, sarcastically, bowed his head and spoke. "Oh, I'm emsooo/em sorry, I didn't know. You must be the inventor of many famous techniques, like the Preying Mantis style of Kung Fu, and the Grasshopper Kick, and-" King Kai was laughing out loud, the kai always loving a good joke./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""Oh, shut it."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"King Kai held his hand up, and there was a puff of smoke, then a mallet appeared in his hand. This was another action that had mystified fans for years. "Okay, Zuchin. Your training is to hit Gregory with this mallet. Here, think fast." Zuchin reached out to catch the mallet he'd been thrown. It was heavy, and instantly the head of the mallet hit the ground. "You want me to give a cricket brain damage?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""Just knock him out of the air."/p
