Dragonball Z2 Episode 82: Merl, the toxic beast.
Narrator: last time on Dragonball Z2 a weird black toxic chemical began to devour West City, though no one knew the source of this weird substance, that didn't stop Goku from stopping it from spreading any further no matter the reason…
Goku: I can tell that the toxic hasn't reached Capsule Corp. yet so that's a good sign.
Goten: I have to get down there dad! Bra is going to be in trouble! (Is about to run away when Goku shouts to him)
Goku: there will be no need Goten; this is just a small little job that needs to be taken care of. I'll make sure no one else gets hurt by this toxic, so I'll go and blow it away on my own.
Goten: I see…
Goku: don't worry Goten, Bra will be fine.
Goten: right!
Gohan: are you sure you couldn't use some extra help dad? I could go with you.
Goku: no, you all just enjoy yourselves here, I'll be back faster then you can say Shenron! (Runs out of the house)
Chi-Chi: I really need a leash for that man…
Krillian: well at least he does what other people are too afraid to do.
Chi-Chi: yeah.
Roshi: that's Goku for ya…
Narrator: after that Goku reached West City and started taking many survivors to safe areas away from the toxic, but after awhile Goku realized he was getting no where and that the toxic would continue to spread and entrap more people, that was until a familiar face showed up to the scene…
Goku: oh man… now I really wish I had someone come with me…
Voice: don't worry Kakorot.
Goku: (Turns around) Vegeta! Just the man I wanted to see!
Vegeta: I saw the report on the news and realized this toxic could reach my house, and I'm not going to stand for crap like that. We do our best to make the house look perfect; we don't need any stupid chemicals to ruin that!
Goku: well good…
Vegeta: so what do we do?
Goku: I've been saving people so far… but it's becoming quite a hassle… I need your help too.
Vegeta: why don't you just blast it all out of the city!?
Goku: I can't do that yet! There are still people who are alive! We have to get them out first and then will blast it out of the city!
Vegeta: (Sighs) these are the times where I wish there were no survivors… fine I'll go find some and you take care of the two on the roof right now.
Goku: right!
Vegeta: (Flies off in search of those in need)
Narrator: Goku and Vegeta both began rescuing more survivors and did it at a much faster rate then with Goku alone, and after that was said and done, it was time to get the toxic out of the city, after many failed beam attempts to thwart the toxic, they tried their best to combine both of their beams to do even more damage…
Goku: alright, now!
(Both Goku and Vegeta together shoot out beams and combine them both together)
(The double beam reaches the toxic and smashes into it)
Goku: alright! Don't let go of it until it gets completely blown back!
Vegeta: right!
(They continue to hold onto the double beam as the hole begins to get larger)
(A lot of the Toxic is beginning to leave the city)
Goku: almost there…
(Skip)
(They continue to blow the combined beam towards the liquid toxic making the hole larger and larger)
Goku: okay! Alright! I think we've almost got it!
Vegeta: it's about damn time!
(Just as they thought the hole was large enough and the toxic was leaving, suddenly the toxic starts fighting through the beam to get back to where it was before)
Vegeta: what!?
Goku: how is it able to do that!?
Vegeta: let's not ask questions let's go Super Sayian and really show it who's boss!
Goku: okay…
(They both Go Super Sayian and add a lot more power to their beam making the hole go back again)
Vegeta: it's not coming back from this one!
Goku: …
(Suddenly after a little while the toxic starts coming back together again)
Goku: you're kidding!
Vegeta: damn…
Narrator: after they thought all of their attempts were futile something happened that was actually quite unexpected, at least from Goku and Vegeta's end…
(All of the toxic starts suddenly moving together scrunching together and getting less and less dense, the toxic starts to get smaller and smaller as it begins to form something, this keeps happening as the toxic is no longer shown all over the town square it is coming off the ground and bunching together with other molecules of toxic)
Vegeta: what is going on here!?
Goku: I have no idea…
(After all the toxic completely disappears from the ground, the toxic in the air is still bunching together forming some sort of being)
Vegeta: whatever it's forming is where the energy is coming from.
Goku: I can tell.
(The toxic as it is forming something starts to look more like it has hands, feet, legs, and a head)
Vegeta: it's here…
Goku: stay ready Vegeta.
(Whatever was formed from the toxic is shown looking into the sky and then it puts its head down and looks at Goku and Vegeta, it has normal eyes with black pupils like Goku's, it has big what appears to be floppy ears on the sides of its head, it is a black creature that is made from liquid toxic, and it is the size of Kid Buu, it also does not have any clothes on what so ever as all it is, is toxic)
Creature: (Looks at himself, he then looks up at Goku and Vegeta) Merl want big power… you give Merl big power now! (It sounds like a cross between Baby and Fat Majin Buu) (He sounds childish)
Goku: Merl?
Vegeta: how bizarre, what is this thing?
Goku: it sounds like an unintelligent little kid or something…
Merl: (Looks at Goku and Vegeta)
Narrator: his name is Merl… is he just a sideshow? Or could he put an end to the Earth as we know it? Find out the answers today on Dragonball Z2!
(Goku's house)
(Everyone is waiting around for Goku's return)
Gohan: (Is shown walking around the house with his hands in his pocket)
Chi-Chi: (Is washing the dishes)
(Roshi and Krillian are playing cards at the table)
Goten: (Watches the TV with his hand on his cheek, switching the different channels)
Gohan: oh man… dad sure has been gone for awhile… maybe I should get down to West City and sees what's up.
Krillian: I don't think there's a need Gohan, whatever's down there I'm sure he can handle it.
Roshi: yeah, when has Goku let us down before?
Gohan: well the weird thing is, I felt strange power level just emerge from that toxic.
Goten: (Puts down his remote control and cuts in the conversation) now that you mention it, I felt that too. It isn't very strong though…
Gohan: yeah but that could just be the outside, we should know it's what's inside that really matters.
Roshi: yeah you're right… I feel it too.
Krillian: well, like I said Goku can handle it.
Gohan: well if I feel anything go wrong then I'm getting down there.
Goten: and I'll go with you Gohan.
Gohan: yeah.
Chi-Chi: (Turns around) first Goku!? And now you two as well!? Does anyone in this family ever let the planet deal with its own problems for a change!? (Slams her wash cloth to the floor and goes to her room and slams the door behind her)
Gohan: huh?
Krillian: what's eating her?
Goten: I have no idea… she has been a little moody the past few days.
Gohan: she has?
Goten: yeah, almost kind of disoriented or something.
Gohan: hmm… I see…
Roshi: well maybe you two should just sit here either way, if you left your mother here like that who knows what she might do.
Gohan: yeah I agree, but if it comes to it, then we have to go.
Goten: right.
Gohan: Mind: maybe I should check on her…
(West City)
(Goku and Vegeta are shown floating in the air in the town square looking at the black toxic beast, Merl)
Merl: (Has a smile on his face with small white fangs coming out of his mouth) (He does some breathing mixed with chuckling)
Goku: (Looks at Vegeta) do you have any idea what that is Vegeta?
Vegeta: not a clue… but whatever it is, it has a weak power level.
Merl: you Merl friends?
Goku: huh?
Vegeta: what?
Goku: umm… are we your friends you asked?
Merl: (Nods his head 'yes)
Goku: are you friendly?
Merl: (Starts chuckling and moving his head back and forth and holding onto his side laughing uncontrollably)
Goku: (Whispers to Vegeta) this one sure is a weird one…
Vegeta: I say we blow it away right now.
Goku: but Vegeta, he looks practically harmless…
Vegeta: are you forgetting something? He killed a whole mess of people when he was just a blob. We have to stop him before he spreads any further!
Merl: (Stops laughing and recites what Vegeta said) spread? Further? Kill? Me? (He puts two and two together) you not Merl's friends! You want Merl dead! Well I make you dead first! (Suddenly starts screaming and begins powering up with a purple aura around his body)
(Goku and Vegeta watch Merl)
Goku: now were going to see his true power.
Vegeta: then perhaps he'll be more of a challenge.
(Gohan's house)
(Pan and Goken are outside, and Pan pushes Goken on the swing when they both stop and feel the power)
Pan: someone is defiantly powering up out there.
Goken: it feels even weirder then before.
Pan: I know…
(They look into the sky)
(Capsule Corp.)
(Gravity Room)
Rya: (Is shown punching and kicking a punching bag)
(He continues to throw multiple blows without rest towards the bag, giving it no mercy)
Rya: (Suddenly stops and turns to the side, because he too feels something) is that what I think it is? (He says to himself out loud) I'm pretty sure on that… (He then turns and runs out the Gravity Room door)
(West City)
Merl: (Continues to power up with a weird distinct scream)
Vegeta: hurry up already, will ya!? I haven't got all day!
Goku: hmm… there's something weird about this guy?
Vegeta: what rather then the fact that he's a piece of toxic slime?
Goku: yeah… but I can't quite put my finger on it yet…
Merl: (Powering up, he slowly comes to a stop) (He then looks towards both Goku and Vegeta) me no like big mean muscle men! Merl consume you!
Vegeta: go ahead and try it, freak!
Goku: now I know what it is! His power hasn't increased at all.
Vegeta: what!?
Goku: yeah, I thought as much, when he powered up just now his power stayed the same. He either doesn't know how to muster up higher power or he doesn't have any past his current level. This would mean he really is as weak as we thought he was.
Vegeta: but that's no fun! That takes away everything that was cool and mysterious about today! Damn! I thought I was going to be facing a challenge or something!
Merl: huh? What big men talking about? You no make sense!
Goku: (Chuckles) he's not a genius, I'll tell you that much Vegeta. Hey maybe in stead of killing him you can add him to Bulma's mom and dad's animal collection.
Vegeta: I think I'd rather pass on this one Kakorot.
Goku: okay, if you want to. I guess I'll let you take him out then.
Vegeta: sure. I could use some good practice away from that Gravity Room.
Merl: no matter what you talk about I still kill, kill, kill, for make fun of Merl!
Vegeta: why don't you try actually making some understandable sentences, will ya?
Merl: arrgg….
Vegeta: see ya! (Disappears)
Merl: huh!?
Vegeta: (Appears in front of Merl)
Merl: (Eyes go wide)
Vegeta: (Punches Merl right in the face, but something weird happens)
Merl: (His hand is in Merl's face but he does not get blown back, instead the gooeyness of the toxic is pushed in, kind of like Buu when he got punched in the face)
Vegeta: (Still has his hand in Merl's face) what is this- (Suddenly stops talking and starts screaming aloud)
Goku: Vegeta!? What's wrong!?
Vegeta: (Takes his hand away from Merl's face and holds onto his hand)
Goku: (Notices some smoke coming off from Vegeta's hand) what happened!?
Vegeta: I should have known this would happen… (Looks at his hand and it looks burned really bad, it has a large scab coloring on his hand) damn…
Merl: (His face plumps back out) (He then points at Vegeta and starts laughing)
Goku: (Goes to Vegeta and looks at his hand) but what exactly did happen!?
Vegeta: the moment I made contact with his body I began feeling a burning sensation… I have to tell you for how weak he is, it really hurt…
Goku: isn't that what happened to you earlier?
Vegeta: yes…
(Remembering back to Episode 81)
Vegeta: alright, here I come back… (Flies back into the city and back to the parking lot, he sees to his horror that the toxic is entering the parking lot and moving really fast towards the remaining 3 men) damn it! I have to be quick about it! (Flies down at fast speeds towards the 3 men)
Man # 1: it won't stop!
Man # 2: were dead!
Man # 3: I want my mommy!
Vegeta: (Reaches them) quiet! Grab onto my arms! (He is standing on the ground)
(The toxic reaches them and actually touched Vegeta's boots)
Vegeta: arrgg…
(There is some smoke coming from his boots into the air)
Vegeta: (Is still able to get out with the 3 men in hand and fly out of the city)
(Back to Episode 82)
Goku: so you're saying if we hit him, then were basically screwed!?
Vegeta: I don't know for sure if it will happen every time but it sure looks that way.
Merl: Merl had big secret he not share with you!
Vegeta: shut up!
Merl: (Starts breaking out laughing again)
Goku: well then… what should we do?
Vegeta: were going to blow him away! That's what! (Forms a beam with his hands) you won't be able to burn this, will ya!? (Fires it at Merl)
Merl: huh!?
Vegeta: die!!
Merl: ahhhhhhhhhh! (Is hit with the beam and completely engulfed)
Vegeta: it's over and done with.
Goku: (Starts chuckling)
Vegeta: what Kakorot!?
Goku: he sure made a fool out of you…
Vegeta: arrrggg… (Looks to Goku) how dare you mock me!
Goku: (Puts his hands in front of his face) (He has a happy chuckling smile on his face) its okay Vegeta, were cool, were cool! (Laughs)
Vegeta: sometimes I don't understand you Kakorot…
Goku: (Laughs, but then feels something)
Vegeta: huh!? (Looks to the location where Merl once was)
(After the smoke clears, you see the black toxic particles coming back together)
Vegeta: oh great! Not another regenerator! Haven't we had enough of those already?
Merl: (Reforms back together the way he was before) Merl back! Merl back! You no kill Merl, Merl big power!
Vegeta: damn… we can't even touch him or blow him away with our blasts?
Goku: Vegeta, he can't be unbeatable… don't worry I have a plan that will get him!
Vegeta: like what!?
Goku: don't blink! (Starts powering up)
Merl: me no like big screams!
Goku: (Continues to power up)
Vegeta: what are you powering up to Kakorot?
Goku: (Turns into a Golden Great Ape)
Vegeta: oh… I see.
Merl: (Screams aloud) it be huge!!!!!!!
Ape Goku: argggggggggggggg! (He then forms down into Goku as a Super Sayian 4)
Vegeta: (Chuckles) I didn't think you'd go this far for that little creature.
Goku: don't worry if I had the ability to use Super Sayian 4 against Kid Buu I would have won almost instantly, and well… this kind reminds me a lot of him. I think I can handle him from here on out.
Vegeta: be my guest Kakorot!
Goku: you're too kind!
Merl: what? First you big monkey then you small red man… what deal with that?
Goku: something that doesn't concern you Merl… now it is time to put an end to your dark deeds Merl.
Merl: dark deeds?
Goku: (Floats up to Merl)
Merl: (Looks up towards Goku)
Goku: (Smirks)
Merl: what?
Goku: (Uppercuts Merl in the chin and keeps his hand there)
Merl: (Doesn't move an inch)
Goku: what!?
Merl: (Is head is pointing towards the sky as the hand is in his chin)
Goku: (His hand also begins to start burning) ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! (Takes his hand out of Merl's chin) what the!? That's not even possible! Against a Super Sayian 4 he can still burn you!? (He looks at his hand and sees it has the same result as Vegeta's burned hand) ouch… man… I haven't gotten burns like this in a long while.
Merl: (Brings his head back down) (Smiles towards Goku)
Goku: what are you?
Merl: me Toxic! Me Toxic!
Goku: yeah I gathered that much…
Vegeta: Kakorot! If Super Sayian 4 can't do anything, then what can?
Goku: I won't stop until I get him! (Instead of throwing one attack at a time, he starts punching and kicking Merl consistently)
Merl: (Is actually knocked back by this) (But as he goes back he continues to regenerate flattened skin)
Goku: (Lays one more punch on Merl knocking him towards the ground)
Merl: (Is able to stop himself and regenerate and meet back at Goku's level)
Goku: how did- (His eyes widened, he screams out in searing pain) (A scream of which the likes you haven't heard from Goku since he was being crushed by Vegeta as an ape)
Vegeta: what!? Kakorot!? What happened!?
Goku: (Looks at both of his hands and his fists and sees them burned to a crisp) (He then takes off one of his boots and looks at his sock, it burned away and his foot was also burned somewhat) damn it… (Yells in pain more) (Puts his boot back on)
Merl: you touch fire and you get burned! (Laughs out loud)
Goku: Mind: how is this even possible?
Vegeta: Kakorot, I think we need to get away and rethink our strategy here!
Goku: no! I won't give up yet!
Vegeta: huh!?
Goku: (Disappears and reappears a few feet away from Merl) you think you're all high and might because you can't be touched? Is that it? Well then maybe I should show you something else. Instead of you facing off against a Sayian, why don't you face something greater.
Vegeta: you mean?
Goku: Prater time.
Merl: Pra-ter? Is that be electricity?
Goku: you have a funny way of talking Merl… now it is time to end that. (Puts his hands in the air and starts focusing)
Merl: huh?
Goku: (Starts powering up again) ahhhhhhhh!
Merl: me hate big scream!
Goku: (Continues to power up)
(Goku's house)
Gohan: huh!? What is that? (Feels Goku's power)
Goten: is dad going all the way?
Gohan: against a power level like that? That doesn't make any sense.
Roshi: there's something fishy going on out there…
Krillian: tell me about it… why would Goku go all the way to Prater for something as weak as whatever this is?
Roshi: there must be some unforeseen circumstance through our eyes.
Gohan: do you think we should head down there?
Roshi: no… not yet anyway… let's see how this plays out first and then will decide.
Gohan: okay Master Roshi.
Goten: sure.
(West City)
Goku: (Continues powering up) (Suddenly his red fur and SSJ4 clothes change) (His green vest with cool marking on the center appear on him and his long silky hair comes down to his back, he also has a glow around him because he went all the way, which mean he's a full powered Prater) it's time you see this, Merl. (Points towards himself)
Vegeta: (Looks to Merl) just for the record… I can do that too. So you are completely surrounded Merl.
Merl: hmm… me no concern.
Goku: if I were you, I sure as hell would be pretty concerned right about now.
Merl: nope…
Goku: whatever you say…
Merl: me want to fight, so you get burned!
Goku: right… this is your end Merl! (Flies in towards Merl)
Merl: whoa!
Goku: (Punches Merl from side to side across the face, which means left to right, back and forth)
Merl: eeekk…. Uuggg… (He goes as he's being hit)
Goku: (Kicks him on his side with part of his leg rather then his foot)
Merl: …
Goku: (He then raises his hands in the air and puts them together and then bangs Merl in the head)
Merl: (His head is flattened down and he goes flying off towards the ground)
Goku: how did you like that- (Stops talking) (Suddenly the smoke comes off of him again) (It takes a moment to kick in, but it happens, he screams in pain again because of the burning sensations) ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! (Holding onto his leg as well as coping with the pain of his hands as well)
Vegeta: no way… even a full powered Prater got burned by this vile beast? That's impossible! At his level? No way!
Goku: (Is moving around trying to cool himself down)
Vegeta: (Looks down towards Merl)
Merl: (Is shown standing on the ground looking up towards both Goku and Vegeta) Merl would like to stay chat, but Merl got to run! Merl be seeing you! (He rises into the air and in front of Goku and Vegeta)
Goku: (Continues to try and cool himself down)
Vegeta: you're not going anywhere!
Merl: (Waves bye to Vegeta and suddenly Merl instead of speeding away, he disperses into toxic liquid molecules and flies away in pieces in some random direction)
Vegeta: Mind: he seems to be much faster then the normal speed away technique… (He then looks to Goku) Kakorot! (He goes in to see if he's okay)
Goku: it hurts like hell… (Downgrades to normal Sayian mode) (His vest changes back to his blue jacket uniform) that was useless and ridiculous…
Vegeta: are you okay Kakorot?
Goku: hardly… after hitting him that many times, the sensations of the burning was crazy… I can't even try to touch him… it hurts so much…
Vegeta: you got it even worse then I did… (Looks to Goku's leg and sees some of the leg sleeves burned away and it also took away some of Goku's skin) damn… those burns are big…
Goku: I know… but I thin with a Sensu bean or some of Dende's healing he could fix it quickly.
Vegeta: but do we even have time to do that!? That thing ran off!
Goku: damn… I don't know….
Vegeta: what do you think it'll do?
Goku: I have no idea… I'm assuming something bad and against humanity.
Vegeta: of that's just wonderful to hear again…
Goku: I have no clues on how we can beat an enemy like that… if he can burn us for touching him and regenerate after every energy attack then there is no chance…
Voice: as far as you know…
Goku and Vegeta: huh? (They both turn and look to see Rya floating in the air near them)
Vegeta: Rya?
Rya: I know what that thing was and what it's doing here.
Goku: then what was it?
Rya: that my friends was a Toxicity.
Vegeta: Toxicity?
Rya: yes, it is a race of toxic creatures who don't have a planet of there own, but instead of that, they form on different planets at basically just random.
Goku: so then, is that what happened earlier?
Rya: yes… the liquid that was overtaking this city was this particuliar Toxicity, Merl, being born. We've had a couple of these back on Drones… they are meant to be the pests of the universe.
Goku: what do you mean by that?
Rya: I mean they can't really be killed.
Vegeta: what!?
Goku: but that's not possible.
Rya: don't worry, this is where the relaxing phase begins. Toxicity's don't live very long and they are not very strong, you see a Toxicity is just like a common house pest, no matter what you do to them they alaways come back, he represents that, but eventually the pest will die. Toxicity's dematerlize a few days after their birth.
Goku: that's kind of a sad life…
Vegeta: well what's it's purpose here for those few days?
Rya: Toxicity's seek electrical energy to feed off of, and they also like to contaminate the waters of the different worlds just to see what they can kill with their posionous pollution, this beast may cause massive power outages as it absorbs electrical energy to maintain itself, of course even that won't matter in a few days.
Goku: in a few days it may be dead but it'll kill a lot more people in the process! He has to be sopped!
Rya: you'd be right… a Toxicity enjoys consuming other livng creatures whole… but it is quite unclear on how he can be beaten before his time is up.
Goku: then we will find a way… I promise you that Rya!
Rya: … (Closes his eyes looking away from Goku and reopens them) okay Goku, will try to find one, but I don't know if there is anything else possible, unless we wait out the days…
Goku: we will find a way.
Rya: okay… let's go after him then!
Vegeta: fine by me, we can probably use your help during this Rya.
Goku: let's go!
(They speed off in the direction Merl was heading in)
(Merl)
Merl: (Is shown flying in the sky) (His sotmach begins to growl) (Puts his hands on his stomach) Merl need electricity… (Looks ahead and sees Satan City) that be a good looking place for that kind of thing! (Starts laughing and then flies towards the city)
Narrator: the small Toxicity known as Merl is now making his way towards the city of the world champion to consume eletricity, will Goku, Vegeta, and Rya find a way to stop Merl, or will they just have to wait out the days until demateriliaztion? And what else would Merl do in the city? Stay tuned for scenes for the nest episdoe of Dragonball Z2!
Scenes: Next time on Dragonball Z2, Merl goes into Satan City and gives a little trouble to Yamcha who wasn't in the best of moods at the time and who really doesn't need this kind of pressure. Meanwhile Goku, Rya, and Vegeta and soon to be others make their way to face off against Merl to figure out a true weak point. Will it be pulled off?
