Dragon Ball: The Missing Chapters
Chapter XIV- Gluu and Zuukuuni, Farewell, Mighty Warriors
***********
They found it hard to believe that it had been one year since the elder removed Porunga's power. Once his power was restored, they were the first two Nameki-jins to go on the hunt for the seven giant dragon balls. One year later, they had finally collected all seven, and the legendary Porunga was now in front of them, hovering above them in all his awe-inspiring majesty.
"What should our third wish be?" Asked the first Nameki-jin.
"Well, we've already gotten immortality for the both of us," said the second, "I guess it doesn't matter what our third it."
"Can I make a wish?"
The voice from behind them made the two Nameki-jins turn around. Zuukuuni had just landed behind them, and looked up at Porunga. "I need it for a friend," she said.
"Well, we'd be awfully greedy if we took the third," said the first Nameki-jin, "I mean, we're already immortal, what else could we ask for?"
"Sure, go right ahead," said the second.
"Thanks," said Zuukuuni, stepping past the two Nameki-jins with a small leather pouch in her hand. "Porunga, I wish that Gluu's remains be transported into this bag!"
Porunga remained still.
When Zuukuuni's temper began to spark, the second Nameki-jin spoke sharply in a strange language.
"Granted," Porunga's booming voice declared. Immediately, Zuukuuni's pouch felt much heavier.
"He only understands ancient Nameki-jin tongue," the first Nameki-jin explained.
"In that case," said Zuukuuni, stuffing the pouch back into her jacket around her waist, "mind translating a few words for me?"
********
Another year flew by too quickly for Zuukuuni, and exactly to the day one year ago that she saw Porunga, the seven dragon balls were once again together at her feet. Stepping backwards a bit, Zuukuuni took a deep breath and declared some Nameki-jin words.
The sky immediately turned pitch-black, and storm clouds began to swell above. Lightning crackled and thunder rolled, and the seven giant balls began to glow. A blast of lightning shot down from the sky and struck the seven balls, shooting a blinding flash of light into the sky. Zuukuuni shaded her eyes as the bolt of light took form, and within moments, the towering figure of Porunga was in front of her once more.
"He who summons Porunga, make your first wish," the gigantic dragon bellowed.
Zuukuuni gingerly placed the leather pouch beside the seven balls before quickly stepping backwards again. Zuukuuni shouted some more Nameki-jin, and the dragon God nodded.
"The one you call Gluu shall be reborn," Porunga declared.
A vicious bolt of lighting rocked the sky, and a deafening thunderclap soon followed. A piercing bright light suddenly shot from the base of Porunga, forcing Zuukuuni to tightly clamp her eyes shut. When she could open them again, she could hardly beleive what was in front of her.
"Gluu!"
The tall, orange alien moaned as he rubbed the back of his long head. "How..." He murmured, "How did I get here on Namek?"
"I wished you back, dummy," said Zuukuuni testily.
"Cell!" Gluu suddenly gasped. "Where's Cell?"
Zuukuuni grimaced. "He made the wrong choice," Zuukuuni muttered with regret.
Gluu arched his eye in confusion. "Never mind," he said at length. "Zuukuuni, thanks for wishing me back."
Zuukuuni grinned. "Hey, no problem," she said. "Wishing you back was the least I could do for you."
"But why did you wish me back here?" Gluu asked.
"You'd rather be stranded back on that Godforsaken red rock?" Zuukuuni asked. "With all the trouble I went through trying to find a reliable spaceship, I thought I'd be doing you a favor."
Gluu rolled his eyes. "Yeah, thanks, I guess," he said.
"Mortals!" Porunga suddenly roared impatiently, "Make your second wish!"
"Pushy, isn't he?" Gluu muttered under his breath. "Well? What are you going to wish for, Zuukuuni?"
Zuukuuni took another deep breath, and then declared some more Nameki-jin words. "Granted," Porunga's voice boomed over them. "The six absorbed Cell siblings shall be revived."
"Zuukuuni!" Gluu gasped, "What are you doing?"
"I thought you might object," she said. "Before I killed Cell, I saw the six siblings in his eyes. They were good, I saw it in them. Trust me on this, Gluu."
Gluu bit his lip skeptically. "Fine," he said, "But if they turn evil as well, I'm not helping you out again."
"Fine with me," said Zuukuuni. "After what we went through two years ago, we should be able to survive anything."
Gluu let himself chuckle. "Heh, guess you're right," he said. "So, what do you want for your last wish?"
Zuukuuni sighed heavily and rolled her eyes. "I've had enough wish-making for one year," she said. "I'm just going to find a nice, cozy place in the universe to relax."
"So, we're splitting up already?" Gluu asked. "Whatever happened to hunting down Furiiza's underlings?"
"You do that if you want to," said Zuukuuni, "I'm going to take it easy from now on."
"Well, don't get too soft, Zuukuuni," said Gluu, extending his hand to Zuukuuni. "Who knows? We might meet again."
"Until then," said Zuukuuni cheerfully, grasping Gluu's hand. And with a quick motion, they held each other in their arms for only a second.
"Until then, Zuukuuni," said Gluu as Zuukuuni turned and walked away. Zuukuuni looked over her shoulder and waved back at Gluu until she had disappeared in the horizon.
"I grow impatient!" Porunga roared. "What is your final wish?"
Gluu turned to Porunga. "I guess Zuukuuni doesn't want another wish," said Gluu. "Good think I know a word or three of ancient Nameki-jin myself." Then, in ancient Nameki-jin, Gluu said, "Porunga, I wish for immor-"
Suddenly, Gluu paused, wondering if living forever would be a good decison for the rest of eternity. "Porunga," said Gluu in Nameki-jin, "I wish to stop aging!"
"Granted," Porunga's voice bellowed, "From this moment forth, you shall not age one more day. My duty is done. I bid thee farewell."
Happy with himself, Gluu watched as Porunga's body sucked itself back into the dragon balls. The seven giant balls gently rose into the air, and with a short pop, all seven were sent scattered all over the globe once more.
The sky cleared, and Gluu flexed his arms. With nothing else on his mind, Gluu took to the air and flew over the landscape. "I wonder if I could find that planet again..."
-The End
