Dragonball Z2 Episode 97: Help Protect the Dragonballs!
Narrator: last time on Dragonball Z2, Gohan jumped into the battlefield to aid his ailing daughter against the powerful Merl, but to Gohan's surprise Pan wasn't looking forward to any help from anyone, not even her own father…
Pan: dad! Stay out of this!
Gohan: but Pan, he's torturing you! Do you think I'm just going to sit by idly and watch you die right in front of my face?
Pan: dad please just do this for me, you'll be helping a lot more if you just stay out of this battle, the only reason I did that training was to prove I was worth something! And I'm going to damn well prove it!
Gohan: Pan! Don't do this! Don't throw your life away for nothing!
Pan: dad, I'm going to find a way to beat him, you can count on that, even if he does kill me I'm still going to beat him in some form.
Gohan: you're not making sense!
Pan: dad… please… just go back to the others and keep mom and Goken Company, please.
Gohan: but-
Pan: but- nothing!
Gohan: but how can you want to die like this?
Pan: I don't dad… but if I have to in order to save the world then by golly I'll do it.
Gohan: …
Pan: I know its hard dad… but believe me… trust my judgment, I'll figure something out. I no longer want to be the little girl in distress like I was for so many years; I don't want to be rescued by you guys and then just tossed aside like so many times before, now I want to show to the world and everyone else that I am worth a damn, and that I am strong enough to overcome any obstacle no matter the cost. Please dad, let me fight my battle.
Gohan: (Sighs) okay Pan… I understand.
Merl: what a touching moment that was… and I'd have to say that was well said girl.
Gohan: she has a name! Her name is Pan! My daughter! And she's going to be the one that kills you today!
Merl: kill me? That's about as likely as one of you spectators being able to touch me without getting burned. Which is what would have happened to you had you actually laid that punch on me.
Gohan: just be quiet and see what my daughter is really made out of… (He flies away back to the others)
Narrator: after that moment Gohan forced himself into watching the events unfold on the battlefield, Pan continued to be the victim of Merl's onslaught against her, and there was even a moment where she thought she was certainly going to die…
Merl: (Floats down to Pan with his arms crossed right in front of her and he stands over her while she lies on the ground) tisk, tisk… (Puts his arm out and grabs Pan not by the shirt neck, but by her actual skin and bone neck and raises her into the air and he sees her and she sees him eye to eye)
Pan: (Uses her hands to try and break through of this strangle hold)
Merl: this is what happens….
Pan: (Getting harder and harder to breathe for her)
Merl: this is what happens when you disapprove my offers!
Pan: …
Merl: I gave you another chance and life and you spat in my face! And now look where we are right now, you're going to die because of your own selfish actions!
Pan: gaa… gugh… guaa… ahh… (Struggling really hard) (She squirms her legs around trying to break free)
Merl: what? What was that? Oh you can't breathe? Oh let me try and fix that. (Starts pushing harder on her neck making it even harder to breathe)
Pan: (Tries to yell out in Pain but can't because of Merl's tight grip on her neck)
Merl: oh… whoops! Looks like I turned the faucet in the opposite directions, my mistake… let me try again… (Starts crushing her neck even harder)
Pan: (Starting to gag)
Merl: oh… I guess I can't tell me rights from my lefts… my mistake!
(Pan's vision is shown and you see Merl through her vision, suddenly her vision starts to become blurrier and blurrier)
Narrator: but fortunately for her, Merl kept her alive even after that whole ordeal because according to him: "He wasn't done with her yet." But after that Pan did something weird…
Merl: I'm still far from satisfied Pan… but don't worry, once I've reach my satisfaction mark, you're death will be aimed and ready for me to pull the trigger.
Pan: (Starts to chuckle with grogginess still to her voice)
Merl: hmm?
Pan: (Chuckles)
Merl: what's so funny?
Pan: (Chuckles)
Merl: huh?
(Skip)
Merl: hello? Am I talking to myself here? What the hell are you so happy about?
Pan: (Chuckles) you know, I'm far from happy… but it's just funny on how I'm going to kill you when this is all over.
Merl: (Sighs) can you please get over that! I'm not going to be the one who dies here today! You and you alone are going to be the one that dies. And of course then everyone else, but that's for later.
Pan: (Chuckles) you won't know what hit you…
Merl: (Nods his head back and forth) I don't think so!
Pan: (Chuckles)
Merl: arrgg…
Pan: (Chuckles)
Narrator: it was also at this point where Rya and Rya alone figured out Pan's plan but refused to share it with anyone else…
Rya: (Looking at Pan, but he looks deeper, deeper into her soul) she is so pure… so powerful, and so righteous. I think I know what she is planning….
Goten: and what would that be?
Rya: I'm sorry I can't tell you… you will find out when it happens.
Goten: but Rya!
Rya: Drones always keep people's secrets of whom are allied to them! I'm am not about to break tradition.
Bra: it really is important though Rya!
Rya: all I can tell you is that it's beautiful…
Bra and Goten: huh!?
Narrator: and then Merl came down to his own decision about Pan…
Merl: (Floats back down to Pan) you know… I think now would be a good time to finish you off.
Pan: …
Merl: I think you've had enough and I feel very satisfied right now, plus I'm getting pretty tired and I want to make my wish from the Dragonballs so… (Yawns) I'm going to kill you…
Pan: go right ahead if you can.
Merl: I can and I will.
(The Others)
Trunks: (Sighs) good bye Pan…
Narrator: has Trunks lost faith and Pan? And does he have every right to say that considering the dire situation she's in? What else will happen today as the story unfolds? Stay tuned!
Merl: (Is shown standing in front of Pan)
Pan: (Looks up at him no fear on her face)
Merl: so then… are you ready to die?
Pan: …
Merl: I asked you a question… are you ready to die?
Pan: hmm… if only you were the one who would kill me…
Merl: hmm? What's that supposed to mean?
Pan: it's none of your business.
Merl: fine then… have it your way… maybe when you get to the Otherworld you'll learn better manners.
Pan: after the way I've seen you treat women, I'd say you need a lot of practice with that yourself.
Merl: (Chuckles) still cracking jokes after everything that has happened to you… (Sighs of joy) we've sure had some good times, you and I.
Pan: yeah, sure…
Merl: so how do you want to die?
Pan: how's about you take my place…
Merl: yeah I'm not too interested in trading something of that magnitude. Thanks for the offer anyway…
Pan: (Puts one of her hands behind her back)
Merl: now is the time for you to perish my young darling… (Forms a beam in one of his hands)
Pan: (Forms a beam in the hand she has behind her back)
Merl: now get ready to die! (About to throw the blast) (But then he feels something) hey, wait!? Where's that Ki coming from!?
Pan: (Takes her hand from behind her and throws the beam she had hidden away right in Merl's face)
(This attack creates a smoke screen for Merl to where it halters his vision)
Pan: (Jumps to the side of Merl and then flips over to the other side a little way from him)
Merl: (Is walking around in the smoke trying to find Pan) what the hell are you trying to do!?
Pan: (From her location, jumps in the air and flies towards Merl and lays a kick on his back)
Merl: arrgg…
Pan: (She then proceeds to punch and kick Merl consistently)
(The Others)
Gohan: whoa! I didn't think she had any Ki left…
Videl: she's always known to surprise us.
Goken: yeah! Beat him down sis!
Rya: hmm…
Piccolo: where did she tap into this power?
Rya: I have reason to believe it's kind of a rainy day power that she kept away… and now I guess she's decided to use it… but it won't be enough.
Piccolo: I assumed that much, it was only a little bit of Ki… but she sure did trick him and now she's wailing on him… maybe she can do a little damage.
Rya: maybe…
Oub: I sure hope so!
Marron: me too!
Bra: me three!
Goten: she can sure move around a lot after having been through all of that beating.
Goku: like I've said before she's a strong girl.
Vegeta: a lot stronger then you Trunks…
Trunks: why do you have to rub that in dad?
Vegeta: (Chuckles)
(Merl and Pan)
Pan: (Continues to wail on Merl punch after punch, kick after kick) (She knocks him out of the smoke and is seen wailing on him)
Merl: (Doesn't get a chance to fight back, because he was surprised by this attack)
Pan: (Lays a hard punch on his face)
Merl: (His head is bent back a little bit)
Pan: (And then she finishes it off with a hard kick to the side)
Merl: (Is thrown into the air and then slamming back into the ground lying on his back)
Pan: (Puts her leg down after having kicked him and then she begins to breathe hard and hold onto her knees) man… that took a lot out of me…
Merl: … (From the ground)
(The Others)
Goken: did she get him?
Videl: I don't know…
Gohan: he's definitely lying on the ground)
Videl: I won't argue that…
Bulma: that seemed way too easy then…
Bra: yeah for all we know he's still using the Blutz Waves machine on himself…
Goten: naw, I don't see a reason why, he's already at his top power because of when he used it last… I don't think he expected Pan to dish out an attack like that.
Bulma: maybe even if he is alive, perhaps she damaged his ego.
Chi-Chi: yeah, maybe he'll be flustered and then he'll lose his composure and be beaten!
Bulma: that sounds like a plausible thing to me.
Rya: don't assume anything… this isn't over yet.
Piccolo: listen to Rya, he knows what he's talking about.
Goku: yeah I agree… but who knows maybe she hurt him pretty good.
Vegeta: since when did you condone hurting?
Goku: probably sometime between Buu and Baby…
(Merl and Pan)
Pan: (Is still standing there trying to rest herself up with her hands on her knees)
Merl: (His leg starts to move a little bit pointing up)
Pan: (Notices his leg moving)
Merl: (Move his leg more)
Pan: are you ready for mo- (Suddenly something happens)
Merl: (Moved very vast and separated his molecules and then reassembled himself behind Pan)
Pan: huh!? (Her arms are suddenly grabbed from behind by Merl)
Merl: I'm going to make you feel it now!
Pan: arrggggggggggggggggggggggg! (Shrieks in pain)
Merl: (Pulls onto her arms from behind) you shouldn't have done something like that! Now I'm pissed! (Pulls her arms more)
Pan: yargggggggggggggggggggggggh!
Merl: (Goes up to Pan's ear) how's about I give you a 3rd chance to surrender… (Smiles)
Pan: never!
Merl: I was hoping you'd say that… good bye. (He says calmly in his voice) (He then raises his foot in the air and then hits it onto Pan's back, he keeps his foot on her back and starts pulling himself back with her arms to try and sever her spine, much like in the DBZ movie: The 2nd coming, when Broly had Gohan in an arm lock and nearly broke his back)
Pan: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
(The Others)
Goten: oh no!
Gohan: Pan!!!!
Bra: no… no… no!
Goku: …
(Merl and Pan)
Merl: (Pushes on her back even more) music to my ears… (Gives one last push)
Pan: (There is a distinct crack in her back that is heard)
(The Others)
(They all go into a shock sequence)
Bra: noooooooo!
Gohan: (At a loss of words)
Goken: Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!
(Merl and Pan)
Pan: (Has her eyes wide open) (She looks in shock)
Merl: (Lets go of Pan)
Pan: (She then falls forward with her eyes opened onto the ground)
Merl: (Dusts his hands off) I've got to break it to you, you were a mighty fine battle… but of course as always, all good things must come to an end. And in this case, this fight had to end with the clear victor being me.
Pan: (Is shown lying on the ground) (Her eye is shown up close and it has turned a distinct brown color, much like other times in DBZ where when someone was seriously injured or dead their eyes turned brown, Krillian was hit once and it happened by Cell)
Merl: (He then turns and looks towards everyone else standing on the cliff) (He then smiles)
(The Others)
Yamcha: oh no! Is he looking over here!?
Krillian: he sure is!
18: arrgg…
Gohan: he killed my daughter… I… I… won't allow him to hurt or kill anyone else!
Goken: she can't be dead daddy! She can't!
Videl: (Begins to cry) I'm sorry Goken… (Hugs onto Goken) (She continues to cry)
Goken: no… (An image of Pan goes through his head) no… (A tear drops from his eye) I love her…
Goku: guys! Merl is going to attack! We can't allow ourselves to be vulnerable! Get ready!
Vegeta: right!
(Merl)
Merl: (He then stops looking at them and then he eyeballs the Dragonballs which are not too far from the others location) these people make everything looks too easy…
(The Others)
Oub: huh!? Oh no! He's looking towards the Dragonballs!
Vegeta: wonderful! That's just what we need! (He turns Prater)
Goku: (Also goes Prater) alright! Will all need your help if were going to stop him from getting a hold of those balls!
Piccolo: right! I'll be right behind you! (Powers up, blowing his cape off)
Rya: I will as well. (Goes Super Drone)
Goku: alright! Let's get ready!
(Everyone powers up)
(The no powered people stand off to the side)
(Merl)
Merl: so they want a race? Well, they've got a race! (He then starts running really fast on the ground towards the Dragonballs)
(The Others)
Goku: alright let's go!
(Everyone jumps into the air and starts flying)
(Goken and Videl are among those not participating)
(Merl)
Merl: (Running towards the Dragonballs)
Goku: (Comes in and punches Merl) (He burns his hand in the process) arrgg…
Vegeta: (Blasts a beam at Merl)
Merl: (Is hit but nothing happens, he then proceeds to bang Vegeta on the head to get him out of the way) (He continues to run as well)
(Rya and Piccolo both appear to the sides of Merl)
(They both shoot blasts at him)
(They both hit Merl with the blasts)
Merl: (Is way too motivated to get affected by them)
Rya: arrgg… (He powers up a little bit and then attacks Merl from the side with his leg) (He is burned in the process) ahhh!
Piccolo: (Tries punching and kicking him but is also burned) damn it all!
Merl: (Continues to run)
Gohan: (Goes in front of him) you killed my daughter you bastard! Take this! (Shoots a quick version of the Kamaehamaeha)
Merl: (Is hit creating smoke) (But he doesn't waste anytime and he jumps out of the smoke towards Gohan and kicks him to the side)
(Suddenly Marron, Bra, 18, and Krillian, try some attacks but they also fail)
Trunks: (Shoots a big beam)
Merl: annoying… (Knocks it out of the way into the background) (He's about to reach the Dragonballs)
Trunks: damn…
Merl: (Is almost there and smiling at the same time)
(Suddenly Oub jumps in front of Merl and right in front of the Dragonballs)
Merl: (Stops moving and looks at him) if it isn't the little Indian boy… I remember you, you risked your own skin to try and stop me while I was in my primitive state.
Oub: yeah… what's it too ya?
Merl: get out of my way you nuisance…
Oub: I don't think so!
Merl: what do you intend to do? You can't hurt me. The only person that could do that, is dead.
Oub: you're not seeing the full picture here, are you?
Merl: hmm? What do you mean?
Oub: (Smirks) (He then powers up) ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Merl: what!?
Oub: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
(Everyone else is shown standing back up recovering from the attack)
Krillian: look at that… what's he doing?
Goku: I know…
Piccolo: he'll need help Goku if he's going to succeed.
Goku: yeah, I know Piccolo…
Vegeta: this pisses me off! I hate the fact that he could push me down like I was nothing!
Goku: try not to worry about it Vegeta…
(Oub and Merl)
Oub: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Merl: hey! No wait!
Oub: (Suddenly a large blue shield appears over the Dragonballs and himself) (He stands there with electrical surges going off of his body, using his power to keep the shield standing) only those pure of heart can enter the shield… you on the other hand are a completely different story.
Merl: you damn fool! I can break through it!
Oub: sure! But you'll already be too late, and it'll take you a long while.
Merl: (Runs in front of the shield) let me show you something, boy! (He starts knocking into the shield and punching the shield and kicking the shield making electrical surges come off of it)
Oub: (Sweats a little because of the loss of energy to try and keep the shield sturdy)
Merl: (Banging into the shield)
Oub: arrgg… Goku! Everyone else, I can't hold onto this for too long! You all have to pass through and take the Dragonballs somewhere else!
(The Others)
(They 'nod' their heads in agreement)
Yamcha and Krillian: right!
Marron: will be right there!
(Oub)
Merl: (Still banging on the shield) it won't be long now!
Oub: arrgg…
Goku: (Comes flying down next to Oub) need a hand?
Oub: (Looks at Goku) (Smiles) sure thing.
Goku: (Smiles) (He then powers up) ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! (He helps Oub make the shield stronger and sturdier)
Merl: (Knocks into the shield but it gets harder and harder to do) damn! How dare you do something as cowardice as this! Why can't you just allow me usage of those balls! Why? Damn you!
Goku: because you're impure… (Sweating and trying to keep the shield standing)
Oub: and that's the only true reason why we don't want you using our Dragonballs! (He also tries to keep it standing)
Merl: I'll get through! I promise you! And I'll make sure the Indian boy dies first and then the long silver haired man!
Oub: my name is Oub!
Goku: and my name is Goku!
Goku and Oub: use them when you talk to us!
Merl: arrgg…. (He starts shooting blasts at the shield barrier)
(Suddenly Vegeta and the others go in the shield)
Vegeta: (Grabs onto the one star ball)
Yamcha: (Gets the Five star ball)
Krillian: (Grabs the two star ball)
Gohan: (Grabs the three star ball)
Goten: (Gets the six star ball)
18: (Grabs onto the four star ball)
Trunks: (And finally he grabs onto the seven star Dragonball)
(All 7 of the people who grabbed onto Dragonballs take lift off into the air and fly off to put the Dragonballs out of Merl's clutches)
Merl: damn!
Oub: we've got you now Merl!
(Suddenly the shield disappears)
Merl: (Stands in front of Oub and Goku) I'm going to massacre you two for doing that! And after I do that, I'm going to go after those seven people and then kill them and claim their Dragonballs.
Oub: you won't be able to touch any of us!
Goku: the only person you were able to kill was someone you beat senseless until their final breathes! Oub and I, and the others on the other hand won't allow you to beat us down like that. We will find a way to beat you, I promise you.
Merl: (Chuckles) if I had a dime for every time I head that…
Oub: shut up! You're going down Merl!
Goku: you sure are!
(The Other 7 land back on the cliff they were on before hand)
Marron: (With the people who haven't gone back to the cliff but are standing on the place where the Dragonballs were at before they were taken) hey! Do you guys need some help?
Oub: we could use some help from anyone who wishes to.
Marron: cool!
Bra: let's get over there Marron!
Marron: sure thing!
(They go over to Goku and Oub)
Piccolo and Rya: (They also go over to Goku and Oub)
Rya: you're going to need our help.
Piccolo: definitely…
Goku: always a joy you two…
Marron: (Stands next to Oub) hey Oub…
Oub: yeah?
Marron: you want to go out sometime when this is all over?
Oub: huh?
Marron: yeah, I've been meaning to ask you and now that I'm this close to you, I just want to know.
Oub: umm… sure… I guess…
Marron: fantastic. Alright let's beat this toxic jerk!
Oub: … (Confused about what Marron just asked)
Merl: you all do realize, you are nothing compared to me. And even if you were, you'd still not be able to beat me without the immense pain of losing your skin.
Goku: it won't matter Merl… we fight to the end…
Piccolo: because were Z-fighters.
Rya: and we always make sure to win.
Merl: well that sounded stupid… (Runs in and punches Goku in the face)
Goku: (Falls back)
Oub: (Punches and kicks at Merl but he gets burned)
Merl: (Tosses Oub to the ground)
Marron: arrgg…
Merl: (Lays a punch right in her stomach)
Bra: oh no!
Merl: (Trips her onto the ground)
(Everyone there lies on the ground)
Goku: (Chuckles) I think we could have handled that a bit better…
Oub: yeah… I agree…
Merl: alright you four, now get ready to die…
Voice: I don't think so…
Merl: huh? (Suddenly someone bangs into Merl head first into the chest) aaagaagahgahaghaghaahgah!! (Getting thrown back)
(The Others on the cliff)
Trunks: is that…
Vegeta: it can't be!
Krillian: I didn't even see her get up!
Goken: (Gets a face of joy) Pan!!! She's alive!
Videl: it's… it's a miracle…
Gohan: I didn't think it was possible…
(Merl and Pan)
Merl: (Had fallen to the ground but he slowly gets back up) arrgg… how? How are you alive!?
Pan: maybe that crack you heard wasn't what you thought it was… (Smirks)
Narrator: it would appear that an angel has just come in to save the day! Pan is alive! And now that she's back, what does she plan to do to put an end to Merl's reign of terror? Stay tuned for scenes for the next episode of Dragonball Z2!
Scenes: next time on Z2, the battle between Pan and Merl continues, and Merl is up to his old tricks yet again, but even so Pan keeps a smile on her face, what exactly has her so happy, and when will she use this attack to beat Merl that only Rya knows about? All this next time on Dragonball Z2!
