Dragonball Z2 Episode 101: Final Rounds begin.
Narrator: previously on Dragonball Z2, Pan had been lost to her explosion attack but the good news was that she had dented Merl enough to the point that he had regressed down in form, but that wasn't going to stop Merl from getting more power as he still not only had the Dragonballs near by, but also the Blutz Waves Machine as well…
(Black toxic liquid substances come from under the rock; the substance was hiding away from the Z-fighters under the rock)
(The black substance then starts to goop together and then starts to form a body)
(The body move upwards forming a head, and then an arm, and then another arm, a leg, and then the final leg, and finally the entire substance forms into Merl)
Merl: (Has a sweat drop on his face) (He breathes hard) (He is nervous because he knows the others aren't far from him) damn… (He says quietly) I've regressed my form down a bit… (He's no longer in his giant form, now he is in his skinny tall form with a normal natural sounding voice) I didn't think that blast was really going to make me lose all of those Blutz Waves…
(Skip)
Merl: (Breathing hard) I have to get a hold of more power… (He then looks up towards the cliff where the other people are standing on it talking to each other, he also sees the Dragonballs up there) okay, maybe if I make a quick run for it, I can get there and bring the Machine down to that location, energize myself and then make my wish from the Dragon, it'll be as quick as that. And they will be sorry they ever sent that girl to die for them. (He then looks towards the cliff and waits till the coast is clear)
(All the Z-fighters are walking around)
Piccolo: (Looking around) I don't know about your guys, but I think I may have just heard someone talking.
Goten: really?
Gohan: are you sure.
Piccolo: it was talking pretty low, but these ears of mine can hear a lot of tones and dialects pretty easy, I think Merl was talking to himself out loud so Rya wouldn't be able to read his mind, but of course he never really anticipated my ears.
Gohan: so then he's around here somewhere regenerated?
Piccolo: yes.
Rya: well wherever he may be he's concealing his energy well… let's pump up the search.
Goten: right!
(They scatter out to search more ground)
(Merl)
Merl: (Behind the rock waits for the right opportunity) humph…. Even if they do notice me they'll have to be quick off their feet. I'll be out of this area like a bat out of hell. Wait… I should quieter; I heard what that green man said. It doesn't matter, he won't be able to stop me, none of them will. (He then looks toward the cliff again) almost time…
Narrator: and after much waiting Merl decided to go through with his plan and sneak over to the Cliff…
Merl: (Notices that there are no people in his general area) alright, it's time to move. (He prepares himself and jumps over the rock on the opposite side toward the cliff and then he starts running, he runs behind another rock to check his progress and then he quickly moves to another rock)
(The others)
Rya: (Talking to Piccolo) I have reason to believe that he's on the move…
Piccolo: you do?
Rya: yeah, I sense some movement.
Piccolo: All right, will surprise him.
(Merl)
Merl: (Reaches the cliff) excellent… (He then looks up it) alright, here we go! (He liquefies himself and travels up the cliff)
Narrator: and after Merl had shown everyone that no matter what they did to him he would win, even destroying the Blutz Waves Machine, he still had the Dragonballs to make his wish for a new Corpolial body. And the Z-Fighters could not stop him because of the risk of burning, or did they? Trunks had a good idea…
Trunks: (He then shoots a basic Ki blast from
Merl: what are you doing boy? You can't stop what's about to happen.
Trunks: yes I can, and I will. (He then kneels down and picks up one of the Dragonballs; it's the 4-star ball)
Merl: huh? What are you doing with that?
Trunks: you do know Merl that in order for you to summon the dragon you need 7 balls in total, am I right?
Merl: yes, I know the rules.
Trunks: well what happens to your plan if say you are missing one of the balls?
Merl: you mean!?
Trunks: yes Merl! (Puts his fingers together and points them toward the Dragonball in his hand) one step and I'll blow this ball to pieces with one blast!
Merl: WHAT!?
(The others go into a shock sequence)
Gohan: no Trunks! Don't do that!
Vegeta: have you lost your mind Trunks!?
(Trunks)
Trunks: no I haven't…
Merl: (Has a look of worry on his face but then he smirks) you're bluffing… you'd never destroy these spheres of power; you need them in order to bring back Pan. You're just doing this to scare me off, trust me; you had me for a second, but not anymore. (He starts walking toward Trunks)
Trunks: you take any more steps and it shatters!
Merl: psh… (Walking toward Trunks)
Trunks: I mean it! If you take one last step, and I mean one last one it's gone!
Merl: you won't do a thing to it- (He takes a step)
Trunks: you did it Merl! (He forms a beam in his hand)
his hand)
(The others go into a shock sequence)
Krillian: he didn't!
Yamcha: I think he just did!
Gohan: Pan!!! No!! (An image of her appears in his mind)
Goku: …
(Trunks and Merl)
(The ball is shown as it shatters to pieces leaving just shards on the ground next to the other six Dragonballs)
Narrator: after Gohan was angered at this turn of events Trunks explained to him about the Nemekian Dragonballs and that they could fix everything that has transpired, but first having to defeat Merl once and for all, Gohan was quickly swayed to his side, now all that remains is a very angry Merl!
Merl: (Opens his eyes with his veins showing on his eyeballs) YOU KNOW WHAT!? (Very, Very angry) I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO ME ANYMORE! I DON'T EVEN CARE IF I DIE! JUST AS LONG AS YOU ALL DIE WITH ME! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU ALL RIGHT NOW, STARTING WITH THE PURPLE HAIRED BOY! DIE! (He jumps in to attack)
Narrator: will Trunks' plan work? And even if it can work how do they expect to beat this nearly immortal creature, especially in this angry state? Stay tuned!
Merl: (With very angry veiny eyes flies in to attack Trunks)
(Gohan and Trunks)
Gohan: looks like he isn't taking any prisoners…
Trunks: yeah, I guessed that much. We better arm ourselves.
Gohan: I think he's after you more then he's after me Trunks…
Trunks: you'd probably be right…
(Merl)
Merl: (Reaches them) DIE!!!
(Trunks and Gohan)
Merl: (Flies in to Trunks and starts throwing punches and kicks at him)
Trunks: (Is barely able to dodge all the attacks)
Merl: QUIT MOVING BOY! I WANT YOU TO DIE PAINFULLY! (Is able to get a good hit on Trunks in the cheek)
Trunks: (Falls back and holds onto his cheek which contracts off some smoke) damn… it hurts…
(The Others)
Bra: oh no! Trunks!
Goten: damn it! We have to get in there and help!
Goku: I agree. But I don't know what good it'll do…
Oub: well we don't know until we try!
(Suddenly all of them move in to help out)
(Trunks)
Merl: (Kicks Trunks many times on the side)
Gohan: (Shoots a beam at Merl from behind)
Merl: (Turns and looks at the beam and laser beams it and destroys it)
Gohan: whoa… he's pretty good at paying attention to his surroundings…
Trunks: (Has a lot of smoke coming off of him)
Merl: now you die! (Forms a beam in his hand to finish Trunks off) goodbye…
(Suddenly Merl is hit from an attack from the side, the side he'd least expect it from)
Merl: arrrg! (Puts his beam away) why don't you all just wait your turn!?
Goku: sorry, but 'waiting' is just not in our vocabulary…
Vegeta: and plus I'm not going to sit by idly and watch you beat my son to death. Most of the time fathers don't really like that kind of thing.
Merl: do whatever you want! You won't be able to hurt me! You're nothing without Pan!
Gohan: you're not allowed to say that name anymore! (Tries to punch Merl)
Merl: (Dodges his attacks)
Trunks: (Starts getting back up after his moments rest)
Goku: All right, I think we should throw a good strong beam at him.
Oub: how's about a kamaehamaeha?
Goten: yeah!
Goku it probably won't work but it's worth a shot.
Vegeta: hey Bra, let's do a Galick Gun.
Bra: sure.
Gohan: (Is still fighting with Merl)
Merl: (Grabs onto Gohan's arm) how does this feel?
Gohan: (His arm starts to burn with smoke coming off of it) ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Merl: it hurts, doesn't it? I'm fairly certain that's the same kind of pain your daughter felt as well…
Gohan: (Gets angry) (Tries to attack his with his other hand)
Merl: (Grabs onto his other arm as well) both right and left, how funny. (He starts to burn Gohan's arms)
Gohan: (Shrieks) ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Goku: damn! Were coming Gohan! KA-MAE-HA-MAE-
Oub: KA-MAE-HA-MAE-
Goten: KA-MAE-HA-MAE-
Vegeta: GALICK-
Bra: GALICK-
Rya: I guess I'll join in as well…
Piccolo: me too…
Rya: DRONE RAY! (His blue straight shot goes down)
Piccolo: SPECIAL BEAM CONNON! (His shot goes toward Merl)
Goku, Oub, Goten, Vegeta and Bra: (They all shoot their attacks)
(They combined with Rya and Piccolo's attacks)
(And the beam goes toward Merl)
Merl: (Looks to his side and sees the beam coming for him) arrrg… (Clenching his teeth)
(Merl is hit with the beams combined together)
Gohan: (Is free from Merl's clutches) whoa…
(The beam completely engulfed Merl)
Goten: did we get him?
Goku: I don't know, but I think we may have just made him angrier…
(The smoke clears, and Merl is shown, Goku's theory is correct, he is as angry as can be)
Merl: YOU'RE ALL DEAD! YOU ARE ALL DEAD! (Disperses into molecules and then flies toward the other who had attacked him) (Appears behind Oub)
Oub: huh!?
Merl: (Knees him in the back)
Oub: ahhh!! (Starts to burn and falls to the ground)
Goten: no!
Merl: (Moves very fast and quickly appears in front of Goten) (Forms a beam in his hand and has it pointed right at Goten's face)
Goten: wait!!
Merl: (Shoots off the beam)
Goten: (Falls back, with smoke coming off of his face)
Vegeta: damn it! (Flies toward Merl and punches him not worrying about the burning)
Merl: damn fool… (Slaps Vegeta in the face)
Vegeta: (Shrieks and his cheek has a burn mark and smoke coming out) (He falls back toward the cliff)
Bra: dad!
Merl: (Forms another beam and shoots it toward Bra)
Bra: (Eyes go wide)
Goku: no! (Disappears and reappears in front of Bra)
(Goku is hit with the attack as well, he able to grab into Bra to protect her and bring her with him as he falls to the ground)
Gohan: (Suddenly appears not far from Merl) hey!
Merl: huh!?
Gohan: take this! (Forms a very large beam and shoots it toward Merl)
Merl: annoying…
(The beam reaches him)
Merl: (Punches the beam back toward Gohan)
Gohan: damn! (Hops out of the way as the beam goes by)
Merl: stupid Sayians… (Suddenly he is sliced in two) what the hell!? (Turns the top half of his body around and sees Krillian, 18, and Marron floating in the air ready to fight) stupid people! (Puts himself back together)
Rya and Piccolo: (Suddenly appear in front of Merl)
Krillian: our attacks may not hurt you Merl, but we will figure out some way to beat you, we always do!
Marron: right! And plus just a year ago we faced people 10 times as strong as you!
Rya: that's somewhat of an understatement…
Merl: will you all just shut up and die!
18: are you ready you two?
Krillian: yes…
Marron: I'm always going to be ready.
18: good… I like that attitude. Let's go!
(The three of them go in for the attack)
(Rya and Piccolo also go in for the attack)
Merl: (Just continues with a serious angered expression on his face)
(The Others)
Yamcha: this is no good! How do they expect to beat someone like that!
Bulma: maybe if you'd get off your lazy ass and help, maybe the scales would be more tipped in their favor, but to see as you are too lazy to do that, they aren't getting anywhere.
Yamcha: I don't know if that was a compliment or a complaint…
Goken: mom… how come they can't hurt him?
Videl: I don't know… I think it was true that your sister was the only one who could hurt him.
Goken: then that means…
Videl: well… worst may come to worst.
Goken: oh no!
Chi-Chi: go on Gohan! Get in there and fight! Make your son proud of you, and your mother!
(Trunks)
Trunks: (He stands on a cliff watching while still in SSJ4 as his friends and family lock feet and fists with Merl, but to know affect) arrrg…
(The battle)
(The fighters who had fallen return to the battle)
(Goku and Vegeta both shoot blasts toward Merl)
Merl: (Does some kind of power up technique and retires the blast)
(Rya and Piccolo try their best to use their hands and feet on Merl, trying their best not to be affected by the burning sensations)
Merl: (Grabs into Piccolo's arm)
Piccolo: what!?
Merl: (Uses Piccolo as a throwing object and throws him into Rya)
Rya: damn it! (It his back along with Piccolo)
Merl: when will you people just: DIE!!!!! (Suddenly he does a big power up move and screams at the same time, and then many blasts come out of his body and hit the members of the Z-fighters to the ground)
(The Z-fighters hit the cliff side and the hard ground with large thuds making imprints into the ground)
Goku: it seems like every time we come up with an attack, he always comes back with something better and keeps his cool! What the hell can we even do against someone like him!? He's like fighting air with your bear hands!
Vegeta: I'm tired of this sentimental rubbish! (Gets off the ground and goes in for the attack once again)
Goku: oh boy… (Follows Vegeta)
(Everyone begins fighting with Merl again to know prevail)
Merl: you're like a bunch of annoying flies that just won't stop buzzing around you! I think it's time I swatted you all!
Vegeta: damn! I can tell he's serious this time, he's going to go in for the kill.
Goku: what? Can he really pull off an attack that will kill us all!?
Goten: there's no way we can allow that! Let's at least try and tire him out you guys so he can't form such an attack.
Bra: but has he even gotten tired?
18: more like can he even get tired…
Krillian: well we have to try anything we can, let's not do this all for nothing!
Marron: I agree!
Oub: All right, I'm ready!
(They all go in to attack Merl hoping to stop him from forming any such kill move)
(Trunks)
Trunks: he's a complete monster! It doesn't matter who fights him at this point, he's impervious…
(The Others)
Ox King: is there even a chance at all?
Roshi: very, very slim… if Pan hadn't done what she did then we still would have had a much higher chance, if only she had used an attack that would have regressed him to this form other then the exploding attack. She'd still be alive and she would have won by now.
Bulma: this was all my fault… if I hadn't rebuilt that damn machine, none of this would have happened.
Yamcha: Bulma, don't continuously blame yourself for this, you were very scared when he attacked your lab, I would have done the same thing.
Bulma: really?
Yamcha: you bet!
Bulma: yeah, I guess I get that vibe off of you…
Yamcha: what's that supposed to mean!? I'm not a complete coward!
Bulma: right… (Sarcastic)
Yamcha: why you!
Chi-Chi: will you two shut up!
Bulma and Yamcha: yes…
(The battle)
Vegeta: (Is shown powering up while in his Prater form) I won't let you make a mockery of me! FINAL FLASH!! (Quickly uses his hand maneuver and forms a fairly powerful beam and shoots it off toward Merl)
Merl: arrrg…. (Is hit with the beam getting blown to pieces)
Vegeta: …
Merl: (But as soon as the attack had finished he already began regenerating)
Vegeta: damn it! I hate regenerative tissue!
Goku: I'm not a big fan either, ever since Buu; it's gotten really repetitive.
Merl: (Completely regenerates) no matter what you do to me, I will always come back for more. I'm like the wind as it moves across your face, unscaved and untouchable. Now for my finishing attack! (Just as he was about to form the attack he suddenly shrieks out loud and holds into his head) uugggggggggg… arrrg…
Goten: what's wrong with him?
Gohan: I don't know…
Merl: (Continues to scream)
Bra: he's creeping me out with that scream…
Marron: tell me about it…
18: let's take this opportunity to attack!
Rya: right!
(Everyone forms a beam and shoot it at Merl blowing him to pieces again)
(But this time Merl does not regenerate right away, the pieces are shown floating in the air discombobulated)
Krillian: he's all screwed up! Maybe he's done for!
Goku: I don't know… that'd be too easy.
Vegeta: maybe he lost his mind…
Marron: I think he pretty much lost his mind the moment Trunks broke the Dragonball.
Oub: I concur…
(Suddenly Merl starts pulling himself together and regenerates once more)
Merl: (He has also calmed himself down and starts to smirk) sorry about that… just a little glitch I was having…but no matter, as long as you die, my own death doesn't matter to me anymore. (He puts his arms into the air and suddenly a small beam forms above his arms, after a while it starts getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger, and bigger)
Goku: that thing is like a spirit bomb!
Oub: and look how fast he's gathering energy for it!
Goku: I don't think we can stop that attack!
Vegeta: you gathered that much!?
Krillian: (Throws a destructo disc at Merl)
Merl: (When it reaches him it just adds to the energy of the attack)
Krillian: not only can we not hit him, but also our energy attacks our even more useless then they were before…
Vegeta: no! It can't end like this! Not like this!
Goku: if we have to guys, will instant transmission out of here…
Gohan: but will we be able to get everyone in time!? We still have to get Dende and Popo, not to mention if that beams hits the ground all the people on the Earth are going to die!
Goku: then I guess we shall die along with him…
Vegeta: giving up!? You never give up Kakorot, unless…
Goku: this time I think it's over… (Winks toward Vegeta)
Vegeta: huh?
(Trunks)
Trunks: no… how can someone who used to be such a weakling destroy the whole planet!? It makes no sense! I can't hurt my head going through this… I guess I should except the fact that this time there is no going back… and the plan I had would have worked too… if only Merl wasn't impervious!
(Suddenly a female voice goes through Trunks head)
Voice: he isn't impervious…
Trunks: huh!? No way! Is that…?
Voice: it's me, Pan…
Trunks: Pan!? Is it really you!
Pan's voice: yes, but unfortunately you are the only one that can hear me… but you are all I need.
Trunks: for what?
Pan's voice: you are the one who is going to defeat Merl…
Trunks: me?
Pan's voice: (She appears in spirit form next to Trunks) yes…
Trunks: but how? You were the only one who could do damage to him.
Pan's voice: I understand that, but you see Trunks with my death I was able to transfer some of my power to you…
Trunks: what?
Pan's voice: that was the other reason why I sacrificed myself. You see I had been getting beaten to a bloody pulp, I was in no condition to continue fighting, and that's when it dawned on me… the rules of the powers I had unlocked had a secret to them and that only grandpa and I know of, and Dende and Popo, and possibly Oub.
Trunks: what was the secret?
Pan's voice: the moment that the host of the abilities dies, he or she is allowed to give some of the power to a living host, and I chose you Trunks, you may not be able to physical hurt him with Melee attacks, but there is an energy hidden deep within you.
Trunks: are you saying that Goku is just pretending to give up because he knows I have the power?
Pan's voice: yes… just like when my father fought against Cell, my grandpa had given up so he could fight… grandpa is waiting for you.
Trunks: so Goku was playing us all along? He knew the true reason for all of this?
Pan's voice: yes, and I'm assuming Rya knows as well. So it's your time to shine, do not show your fear Trunks that is a weakness. Go in there and search for the attack that will aid you and guide you on finally being able to defeat Merl once and for all. Show him that when I said even if he killed me I'd still win; show him that, that statement is true.
Trunks: I will Pan… I promise you, I won't let you down and I'll wish you back as soon as I can.
Pan's voice: thank you Trunks… I… I… love you.
Trunks: I know you do.
(Pan's spirit disappears and her voice as well)
Trunks: I will do what is necessary! (While in SSJ4 he starts powering up more, preparing for combat) Mind: okay, she told me to just find the attack and use it… all right, let's just figure this out… (He flies in)
(Battle)
Merl: (Getting ready to throw his attack) now you will all suffer as I suffer before you!
Trunks: (Appears to the side of Merl a few feet away) I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Merl: what!? What are you doing boy!?
Trunks: taking you out! Mind: I found it!
Merl: huh!? Where's that energy I'm feeling coming from?
Goku: (Smirks)
Trunks: it's all me Merl! (Puts his hands out in front of him, much like the Final Flash stance, and he maneuvers himself around in circles while what appears to be spirits gather around in Trunks hands and form into an energy ball)
Merl: what kind of Ki is that!?
Trunks: a very good one! (Throws the ball toward Merl)
Merl: no! Wait! Noooooooooooooooo! (He is hit with the attack) (He is shown in the ball has it overtakes him) arrrggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! (He is then carried away for many miles by the ball) (As this happened, his own attack's energy disappeared)
Vegeta: Trunks… did you do that?
Trunks: yeah…
Goku: just as I had thought! Pan's plan worked perfectly!
Rya: I thought it would.
Gohan: what? What are you guys talking about?
Goku: I'll explain later, but right now we need to finish Merl off.
Krillian: you mean he's still not dead?
Goku: nope, but I can tell he's been weakened…
Trunks: All right then! Let's finish this for Pan!
Narrator: wow! A plan that only Goku, Rya, and Pan knew, had succeeded, do the Z-fighters as well as Trunks have the fire power necessary to finally take down Merl once and for all? Find out these answers and more on the conclusion of this fight, next time on Dragonball Z2!
Scenes: next time on Z2, Merl has been weakened, but he is not out, he continues to work his way to defeat the Z-fighters once and for all, but at the same time he continues to succumb to crazy screaming outbursts of which he can't control, will this help the Z-fighters in the end or is this just prolonging the inevitable?
