Hey, I'm back with another chapter. This one is a bit longer to make up for the last one, and I should have another up tomorrow. So, here it comes and enjoy the story!

"So, are we going to play or sit here looking at each other all day?" Vegeta demanded.
"Ummm...we're going to play, ok, Vegeta?" Dende replied.
"Well, then let us play!"
"Ok, so, Vegeta just said we would have to destroy Makne. Is anyone going to respond to that?" Dende asked, targeting the question on Hercule.
"Yes, I am, er, Piccolo is!" Hercule said. "Uh, Piccolo says 'We can't just destroy him, Vegeta! Remember how it was with Kami and I? If one of us was killed, the other would also die. And, since Makne is the split of the original Namek, killing him would kill ALL the Nameks!'"
"So? We lose a few pathetic weaklings and the Earth is saved. What would be wrong with that?" Goku said, doing his best impression of Vegeta, but finding it hard to say that with a straight face.
"Fool! I would never say that!" the real Vegeta responded. "I would say 'We lose a few pathetic weaklings and I get a good workout!'" For a moment, everyone looked at Vegeta, who sat there with a straight face for almost 30 seconds before collapsing to his knees and laughing hard enough to shake the building.
In response to Vegeta's decidedly un-Vegeta-like antics, Gohan said "Vegeta...made a joke???" Everyone else just had a blank stare on their face, unable to comprehend the fact that Vegeta had made a joke. It was just THAT unbelievable. Finally, though, Vegeta stopped laughing and resumed sitting in his seat, straight faced. A moment later, everyone had decided for themselves that they must have been seeing (and hearing) things, and that what had just happened could NOT have happened. (Welcome to Denial!)
"So," Vegeta said, "why are you all just sitting there? Aren't we going to play this silly game?"
At that, Dende shook his head and said "Yes, good point, Vegeta. Where were we? Oh, yes. Back to you, 'Piccolo'"
With that, Hercule went back to talking as Piccolo. "We cannot do that. If all the Nameks are gone, the dragon balls are gone with them. And that means there is no way for anyone to come back from the other dimension EVER AGAIN." Hercule was still doing an excellent job portraying Piccolo. It was almost as if he WAS the Namek fighter.
"Ok, then what shall we do?" 'Goku' asked.
"Ok," Dende said. "Just as you ask that, Dende and Popo show up on Popo's flying carpet. Here, Chi Chi," Dende said as he handed her a note, "You and Bulma are me and Popo, so you should know this." After a few moments, they had read the entire note. "Chi Chi, Bulma, what are Dende and Popo doing?"
"Well," Chi Chi explained, "we are going to land and then I will explain this to everyone. Oh, and Hercule...Piccolo already knows what we are about to say." Hercule nodded and then Chi Chi went on as Dende. "What we have to do is to seal him away again."
"How do we do that?" 'Gohan' asked.
"We are going to create a new set of dragon balls and seal him within them," Chi Chi, er 'Dende' said.
"What???" Krillin (as Trunks) asked in disbelief.
"We will create a new set of dragon balls and seal him within them. That is where all dragon balls get their power. For instance, a mortal enemy of the original Kami's is encased in Earth's dragon balls, a powerful demon lord is encased in Namek's. You see?"
"Ah, I get it..." Gohan, um...'Videl', that is, said. "But what will we do with the new dragonballs?"
"They will be left without a dragon or a Namek, and so they will remain stone. But, Makne will not be able to escape."
"Well, then..." 'Tien' said, "what is the catch?"
"Well," 'Dende' said, "to seal him in the dragon balls, we have to capture him and then I have to create the balls. Unfortunately, it will take me nearly two whole days to make them." At that, everyone face faulted.
"What are we going to do?" Yamcha, as Chi Chi, asked. And again, I leave you with a question to ponder. What will the Z Fighters do to contain Makne? Will they have what it takes to defeat him (oh, of course they will...this is DBZ! They always eventually win, hehe) or will Makne rule the world? Or maybe he will destroy it or have an Earth-kabbob. Who knows, except those of you who read the next chapter! See you in the next chapter!
