A/N: Well well well...I have ONE review so far, thanks Jessica! I'm really hoping for a few more this time, it's not too much to ask for, is it? Hope you enjoy this chapter!


THE ALL POWERFUL EMPRESS BLOOM took her lips of off Dabura's and pursed them
together in agitation.

"Fat man, you are lucky I have heard of your great reputation as a bounty hunter, otherwise I
would have you killed. I suppose I have kept you all in suspense long enough. The job I require
you to do is as follows. Go to Earth, located in the Milky Way galaxy, and bring back the fry-
pan- princess."

"That's a long ways away. I'm gonna need lots of makeup for this trip, maybe there's some cute
guys on Earth!"

The empress rolled her eyeballs at Maron's stupidness and then spoke once more.

"Whoever brings her back, gets the gold. Good luck to you all. Come Dabura, let us enter my
chambers and make passionate love."

"Absolutely my Bulma-Chan."

The diabolically devilish lovers left the three bounty hunters staring in silence. Goku had a
frown permanently etched onto his face.

"Not only can he call her Bulma, but he can use CHAN as WELL?? What kind of a name is
Bulma?"

"Hey man, don't be so down. There's some real babes on Earth from what I've heard, and lots
of pastries..."

"You must be the one they call Yajirobe. I suppose you know who I am now that Bulma's done
shrieking at me."

"Yup. And that girl is Maron, right?"

"Yeah...she's no contest to me. But you...had better watch yourself. I have never been defeated
in my attempts to bounty hunt before, nor shall I now."

"What the heck is with everyone using big words and talking flowery? Jeez, I'm outta here.
Gotta go get that fry-pan-princess...I heard she makes a mean lasagna."

Yajirobe waddled out of the throne room, followed by a determined, sexy Goku and a Barbie-
like Maron.

Approaching his pod, Yajirobe deliberately dropped his long sword near Maron, brushing her leg
as he went to pick it up.

"Hey, can you help me? I'm kinda new at this..." Maron bit her nail and gave a small smile.

"I guess...new at what?"

"This whole bounty hunting thingy...it's just so totally weird. I've never had to actually work for
money before, it's awful. And to think that people do it every day...who's the fry-pan-princess?"

Yajirobe sweat dropped and fell flat on his rear.

"You mean you don't know who the fry-pan-princess is? Man, you don't get out much. The fry-
pan-princess lives with her father, the Ox King. Her mother died years ago. She cooks like it
was food from the gods above. Her father won't let her marry anyone, and she's also a martial
artist. She's known all around the universe. Whenever people come to ask her hand in
marriage, if she doesn't kill them, her father does. Legend has it that a terrible monster also
lurks outside their home."

"Whoa... sounds kinda freaky to me. But I can do it! Are you going to get up of the ground...?"

"Um, yeah...I will...in a moment."

Yajirobe struggled to move his lard so he could get up. It took him a full five minutes, and by
that time, the other bounty hunters had already left.

"Aw nuts! They've got a head start! I'm not gonna let some pretty boy and some airhead babe
beat me!"

Yajirobe plopped himself into his pod and set a course for Earth. The launching sequence went
by, and soon the large man was careening through the universe just as he should be.

Meanwhile, in Maron's ship...

"Ooh, look at all the pretty buttons! There's a green one, and a red one, and a yellow one, and
an orange one, and a blue one! Wow! I never knew space travel was so fun!"

Maron giggled and leaned back in her chair. Who knew what other exciting things she'd find on
the way to Earth?

"Maybe, if that Yajirobe guy gets the princess, I can seduce that Goku in the red. Mmm, he's
like, sooo mint! I want him so bad! We should TOTALLY be together!"

Maron let her mind process that thought for a while, then her eyes focussed on a large, bright
silver button that said in big purple letters...

SELF -- DESTRUCT.

"I wonder what this button does..."

BOOOOOOM!!!!

The ship and Maron blew into smithereens, much to Goku's pleasure.

"I don't even have to shoot her down, she did it herself! Now, as for that incredibly obese
pumpkin..."

Goku turned his wonderfully perfect masculine features to the radar screen in front of him.

"Well, well, well. Had a late start, did we lard bucket? You're a good five minutes behind me, I
suppose I can wait until you catch up."

Goku put in the commands to bring his D-43 Omega to a standstill.

"Once you do come, however..."

Goku put his hands eagerly on the joystick that controlled all his weaponry.

"It's lights out for you."

Yajirobe sped through space like a dog after a biscuit, wondering why the heck Goku had
stopped in mid-travel.

"This guy is whacked. Works for me, I can shoot past him and get to the fry-pan-princess."

Yajirobe gave a happy chortle and switched the gears to light speed. With a burst of energy, the
pod flew past Goku's fancy D-43 Omega like it was a turtle.

"What?? How could that dinky contraption get such speed? Arrgh! It seems I underestimated
his small mind. Well, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. In his case..."

Goku gave a psychotic laugh worthy of...well...nobody had a more psychotic laugh than Goku.
He turned up the speed and rocketed towards Yajirobe's pod, hand on the weapons control and
an evil smile on his oh-so-handsome face.
