Episode 2: On the Run Again

Narrator: Previously on Team Chronicle: Double D & Mark had constructed a spaceship prototype in order to discover alien civilizations, & invited Eddy & Ed for a test flight. However, during the countdown, Ed dropped his Sayian Warrior comic into the Ki-powered engine, causing a malfunction that sent the boys into the comic's world! Now, trapped on Planet Vegeta & surrounded by a Sayian patrol, can Mark & the Eds escape with their lives?

OP: "Dragon Ball Heroes Theme" by Takayoshi Tanimoto

Sayian Leader: Alright, who sent you? Survivors from one of the decimated planets? The Frieza Force? The Galactic Patrol? Well, it doesn't matter; your invasion is going to end before it even begins!

Mark: Sir, please! We aren't here to invade! Um…our ship crashed on the planet, & if we can just get some parts to repair it, we'll be on our way.

Sayian Leader: A likely story! You're ship looks brand new, there's no way it just crashed! Surrender the ship & prepare to die!

Eddy: Wait! We come in peace! Take us to your leader! May the Force be with you! Anything? Don't kill us!

Double D: Ed, you've read this comic! What do we do? (Never thought I'd be asking ED that question…)

Ed: The Sayians are a warrior race; negotiation won't work. We must fight our way out!

Mark: Then I guess we have no choice. SOLAR FLARE!

(Mark & the Eds close their eyes as Mark unleashes a bright light that blinds the Sayian.)

Mark: Let's go!

Mark & the Eds VS. Sayian Patrol

(Mark rushes the Sayian leader, delivering a knee to the stomach that causes the alien to stumble. Meanwhile, the Eds activate Kaio-ken & take on the other warriors. Double D teleports above one of the warriors & floats up in the air.)

Double D: MASENKO!

(Double D fires a beam of orange energy right at the Sayian's head, dealing massive damage. Meanwhile, Eddy is trading punches with another warrior while Ed head-buts his opponent. During all this, the Sayian leader recovers from Mark's attack.)

Sayian Leader: You little… (Jumps into the air) Continuous Energy Bullet!

(The leader fires multiple Ki blasts, targeting the older boy. Mark is able to backhand the blasts away, & then charges up a Kamehameha.)

Mark: Take this! Kamehameha!

(Mark fires the attack at the leader; however, the Sayian is able to catch the boy's attack, holding it until Mark stops the attack.

Mark: (No way! That's my best attack, & he blocked it head on! If we stay here any longer, we'll be overwhelmed! We have to get out of here!) Guys! Time to leg it!

Eddy: What? But we're winning! (Eddy's opponent then gets through Eddy's defenses & lands a solid punch to Eddy's gut, knocking the wind out of the boy.) UHG! Ow…on the other hand…running is something we're good at. RUN FOR IT!

(The boys then power-up & fly away.)

Sayian Warrior: After them!

(The Sayians then fly after them, while the leader stays behind, creating a ball of energy in his hand.)

Sayian Leader: Well, invaders…let's see how you do against a Great Ape!

(Meanwhile, the team is flying through the wilds, the Sayians hot on their tail. Just then, they hear a roar.)

Eddy: What the heck is that?!

(Suddenly, a giant monkey appears on the horizon! It roars, & then fires a huge wave of energy from its mouth, aimed straight at the boys.)

Mark: MOVE!

(The group dodges to the side, avoiding the energy wave. The Great Ape then starts rushing towards them at a frighteningly fast speed.)

Ed: What do we do Mark?! WHAT DO WE DO?!

Mark: Don't yell at me, I can only handle one catastrophe at a time! (Mark gets an idea.) Wait, you guys remember that technique Double D came up with last week?

Eddy: Yeah…Oh wait. That one? OHHH, I think I know what you're planning & I like it!

Mark: Alright, then; on three, we teleport. One…two…three!

(The group teleports. The Sayians stop their pursuit as their leader catches up.)

Sayian Leader (Great Ape): WHAT? WHERE DID THEY GO?

(The leader then sees the group appear behind a boulder & start flying away again.)

Sayian Leader (Great Ape): THERE THEY ARE! GET THEM!

(The Sayians resume the chase. However, behind the boulder, the boys watch as the Sayians fly away.)

Mark: Phew, that was close. Double D, that Ki Clone technique of yours is amazing.

Double D: Well thank you, but they won't last long. We need to find a place to hide.

Eddy: What're you talking about Sockhead? We need to get back to the ship & get out of here!

Double D: Eddy, even if the Sayians left the ship untouched, which I doubt they did, I have no idea how the ship brought us here, much less how to make it take us back home.

Eddy: Are you saying we're stranded on an alien planet?!

Mark: It seems that way, but we can't panic. I've trusted the Holy Spirit my whole life, & it's worked so far; so I know it'll help us get through this.

Eddy: Alright then, what do you suggest we do?

Mark: Well…I doubt that anyone besides that patrol knows we're even here. Maybe the best place to hide is in plain sight.

Eddy: What are you saying?

Mark: We should see if one of the locals can take us in.

Eds: WHAT?!

Eddy: Are you crazy?! How do you know they won't blow us up on sight?!

Mark: I'll use the one thing that's never let me down before; the Lord's guidance. (Mark holds the cross on his necklace in his hand, closes his eyes, & reaches out.) (Lord, please help us find a safe place to stay on this planet.) (After a few seconds, he feels a sense of direction.) Follow me guys. The Spirit is leading me where we need to go.

(Mark starts flying in the direction of the city. After a few moments, the Eds follow.)

(After about an hour, the four arrive in the city they saw earlier. They fly in from above into an alley.)

Mark: Keep low & follow me. We're almost there.

(The four make their way through the city & end up in front of a short, domed building.)

Double D: Mark, are you certain we'll be safe here?

Mark: Well, the Lord led me here, & he has a reason for everything. I think we're safe.

(Mark knocks on the door. After a few seconds, the door opens to a woman with onyx eyes, black hair, & sleeveless black bodysuit. Unlike the patrol, her tail is loose, not tied around the waist.)

Sayian Women: Hello, can I help you?

Mark: Hi, my name is Mark, & these (gestures to the Eds, who are cowering behind him.) are my friends, Ed, Double D, & Eddy. I hope we aren't interrupting anything.

Sayian Woman: Oh, not at all. My name is Gine, nice to meet you!
