Dragon Ball Z: The Rise of Malevolence
Episode 004: The Elder
Uub, Yamcha, and Pan awoke in a small hut, in the middle of the long plain where they had been ambushed. Farther away from them, a tall man stood. He had purple skin and wore odd red robes. He had long silver hair and elf-like ears.
"So, you've finally awakened," he said.
Uub, Pan, and Yamcha turned and looked shocked.
"Where are we?" Uub asked.
"My hut, I found you passed out in the plains when I was picking berries," the Elder said.
"Did you see a kid with black hair dressed in a black karate gi?" Uub asked.
"No only you three. I foresaw your arrival, and I know why you are here," the Elder said, revealing a crystal ball from his robe.
"The Dragon Balls. They are scattered across the universe because of a foolish Yardratian wizard's wish, sending them across the universe because they were in a spaceship instead of on a planet," the Elder said.
"How do we find them?" Yamcha asked.
"You can't. If your lucky, Lord Frieza will grant you a wish when he finds them. But only if your loyal to him. Swear your loyalty and we shall spare your pathetic lives!" the Elder said as two shadows in the room took on the shapes of demons.
One was a devil with dark blue skin, holding a trident. The other was a green goblin with wings, dressed in black pants.
"Never!" Uub said.
"Then perish!" the Elder shouted a the devil and goblin pounced.
The are changed and took on the shape of an endless dimension, twisted by fear and hatred. The goblin kicked and punched wildly at Yamcha, but he responded with quick Wolf Style attacks.
"For a human, you are a good fighter," the goblin said, clutching his bleeding right arm.
"Same to you. But I haven't used this in a while. I'm getting out of practice. Soukidan!" Yamcha said as a sphere of blue energy shot from his hand and slammed into the goblin multiple times before engulfing him and exploding.
The devil stabbed at Pan multiple times, but she dodged before kicking him in the chin. She grabbed his spear and broke it over her knee.
"Give up little girl!" he hissed as purple aura surrounded him, leaving her attacks doing nothing.
"I'm no little girl!" she shouted before pummeling him and blowing him apart with two beams of energy.
A blast of electric Ki hit her, binding her to the ground. Another one hit Yamcha, but Uub and the Elder fought swiftly.
"Give up!" the wiseman hissed.
"No!" Uub said before kicking him in the jaw.
Another blast of electric Ki hit Uub, binding him, but he broke free and kicked the Elder into the air, striking him thousands of times with flaming fists. The Elder fell to the ground, wounded.
"Now, tell us about Frieza!" Uub ordered, ready to kill the Elder.
"I'll die either way, so why not? Frieza and his troops have gathered at least three Dragon Balls, but they're still searching the universe, and I bet that they have found the rest already. But it doesn't concern you. You all die today!" the Elder said before he used he last of his energy and self-destructed.
The Elder's House blew up and the three heroes, wounded, found themselves in the middle of the same grassy plains.
"So, if they're in space, how do we find 'em?" Pan asked.
"We should go to Capsule Corp in West City. We could borrow a spaceship from them," Yamcha said.
"Sounds like a plan!" Uub said as the three flew to the west.
Uub, Yamcha, and Pan wandered and found themselves in a large hangar with a circular "CAPSULE CORPORATION" ship docked in it. Uub walked toward it, but someone slammed into him, knocking him back.
A new person was there. He had silver hair cut short. He wore a blue Capsule Corp. Jacket over a black muscle shirt, black pants, and bots. A sword was in his hand.
"Back off!" he said.
"Do you work for Frieza?" Uub asked.
"No. I thought you did," the boy admitted.
"Uub, look at the back of his jacket," Pan said, and Uub did so, seeing the Capsule Corp. logo.
"He's an employee," Yamcha said.
"Why are you three here?" the employee asked.
Uub explained what had happened to Gohan, and about Krillin and the Dragon Balls.
"I'll let you use our spaceship, but only if I come along," the employee said.
"Why should we let you come with us?" Uub asked.
"Because I'm pretty good with a sword, and I could always call the cops on you," the employee said.
"Fine, I'm Uub," Uub said.
"I'm Gohan's sister, Pan," Pan introduced.
"And I'm Yamcha," Yamcha said.
"My name's Trunks," the employee said.
"Let's go!" Yamcha said as the four heroes ran into the spaceship and prepared to take off.
In moments, the ship fired off, the four in tow.
On Frieza's ship, the tyrant sat, staring at a large window that showed a world exploding slowly. A door behind him opened and a new figure appeared. He wore armor and a long blue cape. He had light green skin, and dark green hair. He wore a green Scouter on his left eye, and wore fancy gloves on his arms and legs.
"Zarbon, what news do you bring me?" Frieza asked.
"Our scouts learned of a Dragon Ball on the planet Terra-9. I wish to go out and capture it by myself," Zarbon said.
"Permission granted. But if you see the Hunters, destroy them," Frieza said.
"Yes, my liege," Zarbon said, bowing before he turned and left.
