The racing jet that was hurling towards Gohan came to an abrupt stop a few inches from the Saiyans face, and with a flash and pop it became a little creature that floated around Gohan's head. Behind the wall was just more cave and to Gohan's surprise the pieces of the wall were gone. He looked at his hand for the marks from the heat of the wall they were gone too. And even stranger the Dragonball was no longer in front of him...it was reading to be with him. The tiny creature still circling him, decided to back off a bit as Gohan checked his pockets and found the 6th ball he had been searching for.

"What's going on? Do you even speaking?" Gohan said to the creature that made a strange gurgling noise and flew to Gohan's shoulder where it landed. Gohan stared at it not knowing what to do. Then the thing flicked Gohan in the noise made another sound and they both vanished only to reappear in the spot Gohan had blown the whole on the surface. By this point the hero was at a loose. He didn't know what was going on and wasn't sure if he really wanted to know. The creature simply floated a few feet away from him then made some strange gestures, one appear to be running, and the other swimming then his face got frightened and he vanished. Gohan looked all around him and didn't know what had just happened all he knew was he had to go find that last ball now and then he could think about what that thing was.

Gohan started changing the setting of the Dragon Radar till he saw the small dot mile away from him "Shenlong here I come" he muttered and took off towards the ball...

--------------------

"Goku you have to slow down for a minute and listen. Pikkon is here but Yatsuhashi and Karintou aren't" Yelled King Kai as Goku was hurrying down a path

"Where are they?" Goku asked as he abruptly turned to face the Kai

"Grand Kai sent them off to do something about a week ago and they aren't back yet no one knows when they will be back" Goku stared at his master unsure of what he should do now. He quickly change course and headed towards a large mansion on the planet with King Kai close in heel "Goku you can't go there you know that the Grand Kai is a very busy man!"

--------------------

As Gohan came closer to the location of the Dragonball he began to see the tops of buildings and hear the commotion of a city. 'The last ball is in a city...' he thought 'this could make things harder.' The warrior set down a few miles outside the city and walked the rest of the way. Not wanting to draw attention to him to much. He walked down a street crowded full of people glancing quickly from the radar to his surroundings get closer and closer to the ball. He finally came to a halt outside of a small store. The ball was in there no doubt about it. Gohan opened to door and walked inside. He was immediately greeted by an older man, not quite elderly but no longer in his prime either the man asked if he could help Gohan with finding anything. Taking a queue, Gohan pulled a Dragonball from his pocket. "Do you have something that looks like this just with a different number of stars in it?" the man looked at it for a second then walked behind the counter and pulled the ball out from underneath it. He placed it on the counter and Gohan's eye's lit up, along with the ball.

The flash of the Dragonball startled the man who jumped back slightly. "What in the hell?!" blurted out the man "That hasn't happened before..."

"Don't worry it happens with these things all the time" explained Gohan who reached forward to grab it but the man stopped him before his hand got to it.

"You have to pay for that you know" he said. Gohan looked at him for a minute then finally asked him how much it would be. After thinking it over for a few minutes the man said "$4,000" Gohan's jaw dropped when he heard the number

"You can't be serious I can't afford that but I really need that ball"

"I'm sorry son, but I can't do anything about that. The price is the price and that's how it is" Gohan just stood there staring in awe at the Dragonball it was so close he could just take it and run, but that wouldn't be right he couldn't do it, or could he, no of course he can't.

'There's got to be some way around paying 4,000 dollars to this guy I just don't know what that is, damnit!' Gohan took a few steps back and looked around the store, there were other people shopping trying to find just the right thing but none of them needed an item in this store as badly as Gohan did. He spent hours in there just staring at the ball trying to come up with something to do. The owner several times had asked if he could help but Gohan really had no answer for him. The store had empty by now and the man was starting to clean up being it so near closing time. He started to push a very large cabinet with no luck he put his full weight into it and instead of it moving it just tipped towards the man. He tried to hold it to no avail. Gohan reached up and gently pushed it back into place while still staring longingly at the Dragonball.

"How did you do that?" the man asked Gohan

"Do what?" Gohan asked confused

"Push that back without even trying!"

Gohan just stared at him for a moment "Uh...I guess it was just lucky?"

"Don't give me that bull now if your gonna stand in here with that kind of strength will you at least give me a hand with this thing? It goes over there" Said the man pointing to the opposite wall. Gohan started pushing the cabinet across the floor with no trouble. After that the man put him to a few more tasks he just couldn't accomplish himself then told the Saiyan it was time to him to close. Gohan headed towards the door of the shop but the man stopped him "Tell me why you need that ball so badly?"

"I need it to get two people I care about back..." Said Gohan with a longing look

The man smiled and threw the last Dragonball at Gohan "Good luck kid, and thanks"

Everything around Gohan flashed and he was lying on his back in front of that wall, that wall that was to hot to touch his blast had rebounded and hit him. Gohan jumped to his feet looking around not knowing what just happened...he had been in a city miles from here, there's no way he could have, but he was. He reached into his pocket and pulled out 7 balls, the 7 Dragonballs. "What's going on..." he said to himself "I need to get out of here quick." Gohan ran full speed to the point he could travel up then flew up as fast as he could feel a cool breeze against his face as he slowly reached the world he left above.

NEXT TIME ON DRAGONBALLZ- Gohan's collected the 7 Dragonballs, Goku is on a mission in otherworld and Goten and Videl are finally gonna come back...or are they?
