Summary: Along their way to Japan to find his friend Krillin, Wolverine explains about the Dragonballs.
The Prince and the Phoenix - Chapter 14
"I'm taking you to a friend of mine. He lives in Japan. He's the one who gave me the Dragonball." Wolverine stated.
"What the hell are these Dragonballs you keep mentioning? And why is Jean after them?!" A very frustrated Cyclops growled at Wolverine.
"When you collect all seven of em' they call forth this giant Dragon entity known as Shenlong."
"And.keep going, Wolverine."
"And when the Dragon appears, he grants you one wish."
"One wish? Like some kind of stupid genie? But what would the Dark Phoenix want with that? She's already the power cosmic."
"Yeah, one wish. Anything you want. But I don't think she's after a wish. I think she's after the Dragon. She wants its power." Logan replied.
Storm spoke up. "But if this Dragon, this Shenlong, can provide whoever gathers all seven Dragonballs one wish, why haven't we heard about it before now? Wouldn't there be a great frenzy over who controls this mystical dragon?"
"Look, Ororo, it's like this. Most people who've even heard about the Dragonballs believe they're just a legend. Once they've been used, they scatter all over Japan in a random fashion, and they also turn to stone for one year like the one I brought to Professor X. So, you have to wait awhile and then find the damn things. But, then it still ain't easy. See, my friend and his buddies try to ensure the power isn't abused. They're kind of like the X-men. They also protect the world against evil."
They were all silent, but they were all thinking the same thing. Was anyone able to protect the world from the evil they now faced?
"One thing I don't understand, Logan. When I saw the Dark Phoenix, she had an orange Dragonball, not stone."
"She's managed to somehow activate em', Cyke. I don't know how. I also want to know how she knew I had it or that I got it from Japan. We gotta find the rest of those Dragonballs. That's where my friend, Krillin, comes in."

The strange bald-headed short monk met them as they got off the X-men's Blackbird jet. He had a wide smile on his face.
"Hey, Wolverine. I just got your message. I didn't think you'd be back so soon seeing as you just left and all. Hey, who're all your friends?" He beamed up at them.
"Krillin, this here's Cyclops and Storm." The two X-men nodded at him. All three of them wore very grave faces.
"Krillin, I'm here about the Dragonball. Somethin's happened. Somethin' bad."
Krillin's face fell, then he looked very serious with a hard glint in his eye. "You promised it would be safe with you. I trusted you, Wolverine."
"I know you did, Bub, and I'm sorry to let you down. I thought it would be safe especially in its stone state."
Cyclops cleared his throat. "Wolverine, could you please tell us how Krillin is going to help us find Jean? We're wasting time playing catch up."
Krillin looked Cyclops up and down. "What's his problem?"
"Girl trouble. Krillin, we're going to need you to find the rest of the Dragonballs for us. See, Cyke's girlfriend is after them and we're going to need to get them first."
Krillin turned a suspicious look to Storm and said, "What do you want with the Dragonballs, lady?"
Storm bristled. "I am not after the Dragonballs. It is Jean Grey we seek, the creature now known as the Dark Phoenix."
"Hmmm. I'm a little confused. Sorry, Wolverine, I can't help you."
"Why not, Krillin? It's important." Wolverine's voice had a hard edge in it. Krillin wondered what he might do if pushed a little further.
"It's not that I don't want to. I can't sense the Dragonballs when they're stone. It was only luck I came across the last one."
"Then, we have no way of finding them?"
"Well, I don't think. Wait, I know! We'll ask Bulma to make us a new Dragonball radar! She's got to have a way of finding them when they're stone!"
The three X-men glanced at each other and then at Krillin.
Cyclops looked at the little monk and said, "Ok, Krillin. Take us to this Bulma person and be quick about it."
