A/N: If I owned Dragon Ball, do you think I'd be writing my crappy work
here? I'm just kidding. You guys are all great. Yet, sadly, I still do not
own DB-Z-GT, but I'm working on it. Hmm...DBAF is pretty cheap, right? How
'bout 10 dollars? I can go higher...maybe in a dream...OK, not even then...

Episode #6- Old Plans Anew
******************************************
"Last time on DBNB...Vegeta was keeping Agama at bay, but it seems Agama's true power is being hidden. Can Vegeta keep up this never ending battle of power? Piccolo toppled the fused monster Crieza, but time to meet the apple of King Cold's eye-Cooler! Is Piccolo really done for? Tune in to find out..."
*******************************
"Uh....Eh, listen up guys. I know that whole Garlic, Jr., thing started us off to a bad start, but...maybe we could start over...Hello. My name is Kami, the former Planet Guardian of Earth..." All the planet guardians grunted at Kami. "No? Uh, ahem, well..." Kami suddenly was shot by a telepathic message; it was from, Piccolo? 'He already needs my help? Oh boy!'
'Kami? This is Piccolo! I need some help! Cooler has me in a death grip! I need your energy...please?' Piccolo couldn't wait. 'NOW KAMI!!!'
'Oh my! Dare speak to me with such disrespect? And could you call at a worse time! The Planet Guardians are kind of breathing down my neck, on account of that one time I told them off when Garlic, Jr., came back!' Kami pondered what Cooler was bothering Piccolo for. They had never even met before this incident.
'Listen, you old wrinkled fool! I mean no disrespect, but he's closing in on me! Give me your power within a next few seconds or I'm dea-' It was silent, was Piccolo done for?
'Piccolo! PICCOLO! Are you there? I'll send you my energy, please just hang in there! Oh God! How could this old fool just stand by and watch his long life partner [No you idiots, not gay life partners!] die! How foolish!' Kami started funneling his energy to Piccolo, and watched the Planet Guardians, making sure they didn't attack him during this momentary time of vulnerability.
'Gotcha! I just used that ploy to get your energy! Wait...you'll still put in a good word for me to Grand Kai, right?' Piccolo leaped out of Cooler's reach, feeling renewed.
'Of course old friend. Just do your best, since I need that energy back very soon...' Kami went back to pleading with the Guardians.
****************
"What?! Get back here! How?" Cooler was in disbelief of Piccolo's leap from his arms. "Oh yea? I'll still kill you, you fool!" Cooler flung his death ball at Piccolo, but it didn't even come close to hitting him, instead it hit a group of evil money grubbers from the merchant planet Imegga from Episode #3 in DBGT. "Grah! I made a lot of good deals for planets when I was alive with them! You will pay!" Cooler started chasing Piccolo, who set the pace.
'I mustn't get too headstrong! I may be substantially more powerful, but this will still be a very tough fight, but there must be only one victor!' Piccolo led a swift kick to Cooler's head and than dashed off, beginning the chase anew.
********************************
"You fool! Go back to your grubby little planet!" Vegeta flung Agama into a mountain.
"Wow, your dad is pretty strong, Trunks," Goten actually complimented his friend.
"Ah, so you agree that my dad is stronger than your dad?" Trunks just wouldn't let the past argument die.
"NO! Now shut up and watch!" Goten turned back to the action, seething.
"Ah, you fight well, but not well enough!" Agama punched Vegeta with another one of his fiery punches the moment Agama got up. He then kicked Vegeta into a neighboring rock.
'This isn't working; he just won't get hurt. I've tried nearly everything and yet he only has one bruise and a missing leg, both not even from my attacks. And those two sacks of potatoes, just sitting there with mouth agape. How come Trunks and Goten aren't helping?!? Oh man! Wait, how come they haven't fused yet? Although it wouldn't help...unless they were SSJ4! Maybe...I can teach them to go SSJ4, but I don't have that kind of time-" Vegeta was cut off by one of Agama's Ki attacks. "Damn! Hey, Dumb and Dumber, get over here!" Trunks and Goten looked at each other, as Vegeta head butted Agama far away, just enough time for Vegeta to explain his plan. "Hurry up over here, NOW!" Trunks and Goten flew at full speed toward him. "Listen up, you worthless, bloated sacks of protoplasm! How come you two haven't even fused yet?"
"We, um, we, um, we, um..." Trunks stuttered, shocked by his dad's way of addressing him and over-the-top anger.
"We tried!" Goten spoke up. "But I think our bodies are out of sync. You know, we haven't fused since Super Buu was fighting my brother!" Goten spit it all out, hoping his explanation was fast enough for Vegeta's speedy schedule.
"Say it again, slower child. On second thought, don't." Vegeta kicked Agama far off again, and then shot a Final Flash-Big Bang at him. "That should keep him down for at least half a minute. Now listen, I want to teach you two to go SSJ4! I also want you to relearn how to fuse with each other. But I need someone to fill in for me against Agama."
"Uub!" Trunks and Goten shouted.
"Good idea, go get him. You know Trunks; for once business school has helped you! I guess your mother was right. We aren't wasting money on you," Vegeta scoffed at him.
"You mean you're proud of me, Dad?" Trunks was choking up, seldom did his dad encourage him, but mostly just barked orders.
"Now I didn't say that, wink wink! Now how come you haven't gotten Uub?"
"Because he's standing behind you!!!" Goten pointed toward Super Uub, who seemed powered up and ready to fight.
"Reporting for duty, sir," Uub saluted, and then snickered.
"What the hell do you think is so funny?" Vegeta seethed. "I should knock you down! The future of the earth depends on us today!" Vegeta turned his attention to the boys. "Listen up! Follow me, for we're going to Dende's [Kami's] Lookout! It's time to train you suckaz to really fight. And as for you Uub! It's time for you to fight! Do you really think you can take Agama on for at least 30 minutes?" Uub hesitated for just a millisecond, than nodded his head. "Boys! Grab on to my arm!" Vegeta outstretched his hand and warped to the lookout.
"But, how can Vegeta do that...that's Goku's move, right?" Uub muttered to himself. He turned to see Agama rocketing over the skyline towards him, he gulped, and than braced himself for impact. 'Not even SSJ4 Vegeta can tackle him...'
***********************
"HOW DID YOU DO THAT, DAD?" Trunks was astounded on how his father warped.
Vegeta chuckled, " Trust me, you can't stay fused with Kakarot that long and still not learn something. Now, where's Dende?! Boys, go find him!" The sun was fully up, shining its light over an unsuspectingly doomed Earth. "Eh, I suppose this planet is a little beautiful once you get used to it..." Vegeta continued to look out over the horizon of endless green. After about one minute, Mr. Popo came out, greeting Vegeta.
"Vegeta? What is it that you have come here for?" Mr. Popo inquired, bewildered by why Vegeta would come here so suddenly.
"Are you blind? For do you not sense the great evil that arrived here last night?" Vegeta turned his view from the horizon to Mr. Popo, who developed an Anime style sweat drop on his head.
"Somewhat, but I never imagined something big would happen again."
"Well it did!" Vegeta surprised Mr. Popo a bit. Trunks, Goten, and a surprisingly very awake Dende came around the bend of the lookout.
"I've been awake all night pondering this new evil and its surge of power. I suppose you came here to explain it?" Dende looked up to Vegeta.
"No, I came here for your help. Can you prepare the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for us?" Vegeta stared at the tall, green slug. 'Harrumph, I remember when he was a little runt!'
"Uh, but Dad! The Hyperbolic Time Chamber can only be used a couple of times per lifetime! And it was used twice before the Cell Games, and then Goten and I trained the fusion technique to fight Buu after that!" Trunks yelled in disbelief that his dad over looked this.
"Trunks is right. Time to review your strategy." Goten comically shook his finger at Vegeta
Vegeta didn't even attempt to respond to Goten's pokings. "Augh! But...Oh no! The time it'll take to train you guys with what I had in mind will take longer than Uub can handle!" Vegeta had a look of shock and worry on his tired, SSJ4 face. He powered down, for he was afraid Agama would sense his Ki and realizing that his current form isn't going to help. Nothing could. It's the end for him and the earth. The end...Vegeta never thought about those words. He looked back up at Dende, for he had to find strength to know it wasn't useless going on.
"Hold on! If this works, there may still be hope!" Dende motioned for them to follow, and ran off to the entrance to the chamber. "Guys," Dende was looking at Goten and Trunks, "do you remember the time when Buu and you [Lol, it rhymes] escaped he Hyperbolic Time Chamber by screaming really loudly, ripping a hole in the dimension?"
"Uh, yea, I guess." Trunks then whispered to Goten, "I never got this whole physics thing of 'ripping dimensions.'" Goten nodded back.
"Well, if you guys can reach the EXACT same power level, and scream at the EXACT same frequency, we can reach the chamber!" Dende smirked with pride.
"Please Dende! We don't have time to keep screaming at different power levels, the world's at stake, and we only have thirty minutes of Earth's time!" Vegeta couldn't accept the fact he may lose.
"OH YES WE DO! Dende, you're a genius! I'd kiss you, but then I'd be gay!" Goten started jumping around for joy.
"What the hell are you doing, man?" Vegeta looked puzzled at Goten.
"I remember Buu's EXACT power level, and can nearly remember how loud he yelled!"
"How can you know that, Goten? I don't!" Trunks was in disbelief. They were fused, wouldn't they have the exact same memories?
"Well, I guess some people just can't recall the moment as well as yours truly. I can easily remember everything that happened that day! How can you not, Trunks? That was the most important day of our lives! His power level was EXACTLY 450,005,053. Now let's see, he screamed like this..." Goten screamed as loud as he thought he should but nothing happened. Vegeta and Trunks gained sweat drops. "Uh, he he, hold on!"
***********************
Videl yawned. Arale's alarm rung at 7:15 A.M. Pan rolled over, and continued sleeping. 'Already time to go home? Might as well, I'm confused by this freaky place any way.' Videl yawned again. "Pan, honey, time to get up." Videl pushed her on the shoulder, but she groaned and turned away. "We have to get going, I know your tired, but..." Videl trailed off, and realized there was a large power level off to West City. 'What's going on?' "Look, we best get going, now come on!" Videl ripped the covers off, Pan shivered, than finally sat up. "Sorry, but I've just been taken over by a bad feeling."
"Alright, Mom. Hey, do we get to eat before we leave?"
"Hmmm...Let's not trouble her, we'll get some fast food on the way home, now come on." Videl got up, went to the bathroom to try and fix up her matted hair. Pan got up, put on her shoes and jacket and went for the door. "Up, up, up! Shouldn't we thank Arale first?"
"She's sleeping, let's just go!"
"That's very bad manners, Pan. I'll just write a quick note, and we'll be off."
'No fair, why couldn't we fly home? Mom almost always makes us take the car. It's much more fun to fly "naturally," if you can call it that.' Pan went to the car, and stood there, waiting for her mom to unlock the door. "C'mon, Ma! I miss OUR society. Let's just get home, everyone's probably worrying. Besides, I'm supposed to meet Bra today!"
"Alright!" Videl unlocked the car, and shot off over the horizon, thanks to Bulma's new prototype invention to add rocket like speed to cars. Videl and Gohan got the second one of two, the ONLY two in the world. The other was on test runs on Bulma's car.
**********************
"Is everyone here? Wait, Videl and Pan are still miss-" Krillen was cut short by the rumblings of the lookout, and deafening scream coming from within the building. "WHAT WAS THAT?" Krillen looked around. "I'm going to go find out!"
"Well I'm coming with!" Bulma pushed herself through everyone up to Krillen.
"But Bulma!" Krillen stopped; pleading would never work on her.
"What if it's Vegeta and the others?" Bulma stormed past Krillen.
"You're right! That did sound like my little son Goten!" Chi-Chi and the rest ran off into the palace, leaving only Krillen standing behind.
"Will things EVER change?" Krillen rhetorically asked himself.
"GUYS!" Bulma yelled to the three warriors and a Namek standing around the old entrance to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, first glimpsing them around the hallway bend.
"Wha? What are you doing here, Bulma?" Vegeta started to worry Agama would pick up on Goten's SSJ3 Ki, and that would spell death for everyone here. 'What in the HFIL are they doing here?'
Krillen, out of breath, ran down the hall to everyone, but was knocked down when he ran into the Ox King. "I called everyone and told them to gather at Dende's Lookout," Krillen informed Vegeta as he recovered his balance.
"YOU FOOL! Agama is sure to find Goten's Ki, and then we're all doomed!" Vegeta was really, well, pissed.
"Oh yea? I think the question is why are you guys hiding in here? And why is Goten screaming? And why doesn't Goten just power down?" Chi-Chi couldn't grasp what's going on, and neither could anyone else.
Vegeta could barely bring himself to say it, in front of his friends, and his family, but... "Agama is...well, he's just too strong for me, or the boys." Vegeta took a deep breath. "I came here to train the boys to go SSJ4 and to allow them to re-teach themselves the Fusion Technique. When we got here, I discovered that the Hyperbolic Time Chamber's number of times allowed to enter had been used up." The crowd of old DBZ friends looked on, and Bra even gasped. "Dende had the idea of screaming at the same frequency and to go to the same power level as Super Buu did, when he escaped the Chamber of Time...so, here we are. Goten has the power level down, he's working on the frequency-" Vegeta was interrupted, as Goten yelled and ripped open a hole to another dimension, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to be exact. "My God, is it the right place?" Goten nodded. "Well, looks like that's our cue." Vegeta chuckled, waved, and hopped in.
"WAIT!" Bulma tried to stop Vegeta, but it was to late. She turned to Trunks, and Chi-Chi to Goten. "You be good, and make sure you come out powerful enough to defeat this monster, or don't come out at all! Don't worry about us, we'll make it somehow..." Both mothers spoke at the same time, saying the same thing, and they laughed, but not out of the irony, but to cover their tears. "Now go, and make me proud." They hugged their sons, and their sons left through the vanishing portal. Just as the portal closed, heavy footsteps came from the hall. The group turned to look, and saw Pan and Videl. "Where have you been? You just missed Vegeta, Trunks, and Goten."
Pan groaned. Videl spoke up, "I had a bad feeling this morning, it seems everything's happening again. Don't worry, we'll make it, I know those guys will find a way." Videl winked upon saying this. Krillen looked inquisitively. "Look, I got your message on the answering machine, we got lost on Penguin Island, and had to stay with a woman named Arale that Goku used to know. Thanks to Bulma's rocket car, we're here in record time, but I guess record time isn't fast enough."
**********************
"It seems that Vegeta's plan may work, but will the other Z character be safe? And can Uub hold off Agama long enough? Stay tuned for previews of the next exciting episode of DBNB!"
"Next time, on DBNB...Uub is holding off Agama, but his slaughtering is imminent. Plus, Piccolo tries to finish of the evil family of three. But the main point is a new being that is actually decades old..." [Episode #7- GOTENKS?!? AGAIN?!?]
***********************
A/N: Hey! For all you blind people living under rocks DBZ ended on Monday, April 7th (NOOOOOOO!!! Wait, there's always DBGT...) Does anyone have a ratings count for the # of people who watched DBZ when Goku's Genki Dama killed Kid Buu (a wee little spoiler), and the last episode? I am working on a new fanfic I've thought of, called "Crime Doesn't Pay & Neither Does Work". See bottom of chapter for more info.
Time for a quickie quiz! What is the Hyperbolic in Hyperbolic Time Chamber derived from? Well, according to the 2000 Merriam-Webster PC Dictionary, it comes from the word hyperbola, which means:
hy+per+bo+la \h?-"p?r-b?-l?\ n, pl -las or -lae \-(')l?\ : a curve formed by the intersection of a double right circular cone with a plane that cuts both halves of the cone - hy+per+bol+ic \'h?-p?r-"bä-lik\ adj (c)2000 Zane Publishing, Inc. and Merriam-Webster, Incorporated. All rights reserved.
Strange, huh? I suppose this can fit into some strange physics equation that results with the seemingly slowing or distortion of time. Then again, is not time just an invention by man to measure his puny lifetime and time left until his ultimate demise.
Plus, on the issue of the DBZ: Boudakai game for PS2, I think when they make the sequel, it should (of course) finish the DBZ series with the Majin Buu Saga. It should also include the characters Kid Goten and Teen Goten, Kid Trunks, Adult Gohan with the Mystic Sayin technique, Kid Pan, Teen Videl/Great Saiyanwoman, Fat Buu, Super Buu, Kid Buu, Dubarah, Garlic Jr. (the non-invincible version), Brolli, Janemba, Taipon, Androids #13-15, Cooler, King Cold, Kid Uub, and MAYBE even the Spice Boys, Yajrobi, Master Roshi, and Grandpa Gohan. Also add the Fusion technique, where 4-player battles can pair people up, allowing them to fuse into Gotenks, Vegitto, or Gogeta. Allow all Sayins to go at least SSJ2 (excluding Pan), and a few to go SSJ3. Allow Mirai Trunks to use Ultra SSJ technique. Allow the Great Saiyanman to go SSJ2, or "Golden Warrior." Also allow Nappa to use a Saibaman, and Cell to use a Cell Jr. These guys have their own life meter so make the technique at least 6-7 Ki gauges. Allow for voluntary flight, and backward and forward flips. That would make fight scenes way cooler! Also make charge Ki blasts and charge Kame Hame Has! What do you guys think? Leave any new character or overall gaming ideas in your reviews! The following is a teaser of my new fanfic you can view by going to my profile page and clicking (DUH!) on the story. Please R&R my new fanfic! PLEASE?!?
Crime Doesn't Pay & Neither Does Work
It seems Goku and Chi-Chi own $30,000 in back property taxes! Why? The government just discovered their house and the forest they live in, and they've never paid their property taxes. It seems Goku has one month to meet his monetary goal, or Chi-Chi and him are going to jail for a long time on account of tax evasion. Yet where is a SSJ with little grasp of reality supposed to make a job? Chapter 1- Tax Evasion & Taxi Drivers
You can see the story at my profile page. Also, I missed March 27th's episode of DBZ! My tape didn't record. Argh! So if anyone knows a good DBZ page to download an episode from, please leave the web address in your review. Thanx!!! Ta-ta! ;^)
OMG! DBGT isn't going to be showing in the USA, since there's a legal problem! DAMN!
APRIL FOOL'S!!! But Dragon Ball Grand Tour WON'T BE ON TV UNTIL FALL 2003! THAT'S TOO LONG!
Episode #6- Old Plans Anew

"That's very bad manners, Pan. I'll just write a quick note, and we'll be off."
'No fair, why couldn't we fly home? Mom almost always makes us take the car. It's much more fun to fly "naturally," if you can call it that.' Pan went to the car, and stood there, waiting for her mom to unlock the door. "C'mon, Ma! I miss OUR society. Let's just get home, everyone's probably worrying. Besides, I'm supposed to meet Bra today!"
"Alright!" Videl unlocked the car, and shot off over the horizon, thanks to Bulma's new prototype invention to add rocket like speed to cars. Videl and Gohan got the second one of two, the ONLY two in the world. The other was on test runs on Bulma's car.
**********************
"Is everyone here? Wait, Videl and Pan are still miss-" Krillen was cut short by the rumblings of the lookout, and deafening scream coming from within the building. "WHAT WAS THAT?" Krillen looked around. "I'm going to go find out!"
"Well I'm coming with!" Bulma pushed herself through everyone up to Krillen.
"But Bulma!" Krillen stopped; pleading would never work on her.
"What if it's Vegeta and the others?" Bulma stormed past Krillen.
"You're right! That did sound like my little son Goten!" Chi-Chi and the rest ran off into the palace, leaving only Krillen standing behind.
"Will things EVER change?" Krillen rhetorically asked himself.
"GUYS!" Bulma yelled to the three warriors and a Namek standing around the old entrance to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, first glimpsing them around the hallway bend.
"Wha? What are you doing here, Bulma?" Vegeta started to worry Agama would pick up on Goten's SSJ3 Ki, and that would spell death for everyone here. 'What in the HFIL are they doing here?'
Krillen, out of breath, ran down the hall to everyone, but was knocked down when he ran into the Ox King. "I called everyone and told them to gather at Dende's Lookout," Krillen informed Vegeta as he recovered his balance.
"YOU FOOL! Agama is sure to find Goten's Ki, and then we're all doomed!" Vegeta was really, well, pissed.
"Oh yea? I think the question is why are you guys hiding in here? And why is Goten screaming? And why doesn't Goten just power down?" Chi-Chi couldn't grasp what's going on, and neither could anyone else.
Vegeta could barely bring himself to say it, in front of his friends, and his family, but... "Agama is...well, he's just too strong for me, or the boys." Vegeta took a deep breath. "I came here to train the boys to go SSJ4 and to allow them to re-teach themselves the Fusion Technique. When we got here, I discovered that the Hyperbolic Time Chamber's number of times allowed to enter had been used up." The crowd of old DBZ friends looked on, and Bra even gasped. "Dende had the idea of screaming at the same frequency and to go to the same power level as Super Buu did, when he escaped the Chamber of Time...so, here we are. Goten has the power level down, he's working on the frequency-" Vegeta was interrupted, as Goten yelled and ripped open a hole to another dimension, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to be exact. "My God, is it the right place?" Goten nodded. "Well, looks like that's our cue." Vegeta chuckled, waved, and hopped in.
"WAIT!" Bulma tried to stop Vegeta, but it was to late. She turned to Trunks, and Chi-Chi to Goten. "You be good, and make sure you come out powerful enough to defeat this monster, or don't come out at all! Don't worry about us, we'll make it somehow..." Both mothers spoke at the same time, saying the same thing, and they laughed, but not out of the irony, but to cover their tears. "Now go, and make me proud." They hugged their sons, and their sons left through the vanishing portal. Just as the portal closed, heavy footsteps came from the hall. The group turned to look, and saw Pan and Videl. "Where have you been? You just missed Vegeta, Trunks, and Goten."
Pan groaned. Videl spoke up, "I had a bad feeling this morning, it seems everything's happening again. Don't worry, we'll make it, I know those guys will find a way." Videl winked upon saying this. Krillen looked inquisitively. "Look, I got your message on the answering machine, we got lost on Penguin Island, and had to stay with a woman named Arale that Goku used to know. Thanks to Bulma's rocket car, we're here in record time, but I guess record time isn't fast enough."
**********************
"It seems that Vegeta's plan may work, but will the other Z character be safe? And can Uub hold off Agama long enough? Stay tuned for previews of the next exciting episode of DBNB!"
"Next time, on DBNB...Uub is holding off Agama, but his slaughtering is imminent. Plus, Piccolo tries to finish of the evil family of three. But the main point is a new being that is actually decades old..." [Episode #7- GOTENKS?!? AGAIN?!?]

A/N: Hey! For all you blind people living under rocks DBZ ended on Monday, April 7th (NOOOOOOO!!! Wait, there's always DBGT...) Does anyone have a ratings count for the # of people who watched DBZ when Goku's Genki Dama killed Kid Buu (a wee little spoiler), and the last episode? I am working on a new fanfic I've thought of, called "Crime Doesn't Pay & Neither Does Work". See bottom of chapter for more info.
Time for a quickie quiz! What is the Hyperbolic in Hyperbolic Time Chamber derived from? Well, according to the 2000 Merriam-Webster PC Dictionary, it comes from the word hyperbola, which means:
hy+per+bo+la \h?-"p?r-b?-l?\ n, pl -las or -lae \-(')l?\ : a curve formed by the intersection of a double right circular cone with a plane that cuts both halves of the cone - hy+per+bol+ic \'h?-p?r-"bä-lik\ adj (c)2000 Zane Publishing, Inc. and Merriam-Webster, Incorporated. All rights reserved.
Strange, huh? I suppose this can fit into some strange physics equation that results with the seemingly slowing or distortion of time. Then again, is not time just an invention by man to measure his puny lifetime and time left until his ultimate demise.
Plus, on the issue of the DBZ: Boudakai game for PS2, I think when they make the sequel, it should (of course) finish the DBZ series with the Majin Buu Saga. It should also include the characters Kid Goten and Teen Goten, Kid Trunks, Adult Gohan with the Mystic Sayin technique, Kid Pan, Teen Videl/Great Saiyanwoman, Fat Buu, Super Buu, Kid Buu, Dubarah, Garlic Jr. (the non-invincible version), Brolli, Janemba, Taipon, Androids #13-15, Cooler, King Cold, Kid Uub, and MAYBE even the Spice Boys, Yajrobi, Master Roshi, and Grandpa Gohan. Also add the Fusion technique, where 4-player battles can pair people up, allowing them to fuse into Gotenks, Vegitto, or Gogeta. Allow all Sayins to go at least SSJ2 (excluding Pan), and a few to go SSJ3. Allow Mirai Trunks to use Ultra SSJ technique. Allow the Great Saiyanman to go SSJ2, or "Golden Warrior." Also allow Nappa to use a Saibaman, and Cell to use a Cell Jr. These guys have their own life meter so make the technique at least 6-7 Ki gauges. Allow for voluntary flight, and backward and forward flips. That would make fight scenes way cooler! Also make charge Ki blasts and charge Kame Hame Has! What do you guys think? Leave any new character or overall gaming ideas in your reviews! The following is a teaser of my new fanfic you can view by going to my profile page and clicking (DUH!) on the story. Please R&R my new fanfic! PLEASE?!?
Crime Doesn't Pay & Neither Does Work
It seems Goku and Chi-Chi own $30,000 in back property taxes! Why? The government just discovered their house and the forest they live in, and they've never paid their property taxes. It seems Goku has one month to meet his monetary goal, or Chi-Chi and him are going to jail for a long time on account of tax evasion. Yet where is a SSJ with little grasp of reality supposed to make a job? Chapter 1- Tax Evasion & Taxi Drivers
You can see the story at my profile page. Also, I missed March 27th's episode of DBZ! My tape didn't record. Argh! So if anyone knows a good DBZ page to download an episode from, please leave the web address in your review. Thanx!!! Ta-ta! ;^)
OMG! DBGT isn't going to be showing in the USA, since there's a legal problem! DAMN!
APRIL FOOL'S!!! But Dragon Ball Grand Tour WON'T BE ON TV UNTIL FALL 2003! THAT'S TOO LONG!
