CASE #8: MASTER ROSHI


~
Something felt funny as Master Roshi slowly opened his eyes. He looked around, noticing he was in a large metal room with white walls. There were strange men walking around, all grey, and all looking exactly alike.


'Hmm, where could I be?' he thought to himself, trying to stay. But something was wrong. he couldn't move. In fact...he couldn't even see his body. It seemed like he was floating in some sort of water.


"What's going on here?" he said aloud.


One of the grey creature wlked over to him and blinked a few times before answering. "You are on the planet of Bore. We revived you after an attack on the planet Earth. We saved your head, bu the rest of your body was destroyed.


"WHAT?! I have no BODY!" Master Roshi exclaimed. "But how will I ever...uh...," he let out a sigh. "I still have my head?"


The grey creature nodded.


"Then that means my lips are still intact?"


"I am not familiar with that term."


"LIPS! The red things on my face...my mouth? Do you know what a mouth is? You MUST! You're talking with one!"


"Oh. Confirmed. Yes, your lips are still intact."


Master Roshi sighed in relief. "Thank goodness! So...I'm just a head. Will you be creating me a new body?"


"Yes. It will be just as our bodies are."


"Like yours, huh?" Roshi eyed the odd looking man, not particularly happy with the idea. But, it would have to do. Being able to MOVE was certainly a plus.


"Excuse us, we will return shortly," the alien and all it's counterparts left the room.


For the first time Master Roshi got a good look at everything. There was absolutely NO color anywhere. EVERYTHING was black, white, or some shade of grey. It made for some VERY boring scenery. He looked back to the door as another, or perhaps the same, alien walked in.


"So, will I be returned to Earth?"


"No. The entirel universe has been attacked. Earth was destroyed. ALL planets, except this one were detroyed.


"Oh, so I'm stuck here then," Roshi didn't like that thought at all. "How about girls? Can you send in some girls to talk to me while you get to making my new body."


"I do not know this term."


"Girls? you don't know what GIRLS are? Uh...women...females..."


"I don't know these terms either."


Master Roshi blinked, growing irritated. "The OPPOSITE SEX?! ...How do you reproduce?!"


"Cloning," the alien stated simply.


"WHAT?!" Master Roshi practically blew his top. "Are you saying EVERYONE on this entire planet is a CLONE? And they ALL look just like YOU?!!"


"Of course," the alien was almost surprised by his lack of knowledge.


"...And there are NO, absolutely NO other planets left in the UNIVERSE?"


"None."


Master Roshi's face went pale and he blinked a time or two. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Master Roshi woke up screaming and sweating. His eyes darted around the room and then his heart rate slowed as he realised he was still in his same old room in the Kame House.


"Oh, thank GOODNESS!" he sighed. "That Bulma and her stupid cheesecakes!" he growled, digging around under his matress and pulling out some magazines to relax himself.
