Hey, everyone! I know Halloween was 2 days ago so this is decently late but honestly, I forgot this special even came out. Shame on me. So just consider me a late Halloween special.
"Oh, I don't think so."
Wait, who ar- OH, FUCK NO!
"Okay, he's taken care of for now. C'mon, kids. You all are Popo's playthings now. We're gonna have some fun."
Before the next episode was played, the screen suddenly began to glitch, static beginning to overtake everything.
"Um, what's happening?" Bulma asked.
"Whis, is the damn video working?" Beerus grumbled.
"Hmm… Strange," Whis admitted. "I didn't think it was possible for this thing to malfunction. Perhaps we should contact the Omni-King-"
Suddenly, the screen begins playing normally again, as if nothing happened. It started with an all-black screen
Mr. Popo (voice only): Congratulations, maggots! You're almost at the end of the first season! So we've got a special gift for you. A Halloween Special, just for you!
"What the-" Goku blinked. "It's not even Halloween."
"This is weird," Gohan agreed.
"What is Halloween?" Beerus asked annoyed.
Trunks and Goten lit up at the mention of one of their favorite holidays. "It's the best!" Goten beamed. "You get to dress up in costumes and people give you candy!"
"PEOPLE GIVE YOU CANDY!" Beerus exclaimed. "What's the catch?"
Trunks had a mischievous face. "If they don't give you candy, you get to play a trick on them!"
Beerus grinned a Grinch-like smile. "Sounds like my kind of holiday!" Energy balls of pure destruction ki appeared around him. "You Earthlings really do know how to have a good time. Whis! Try to wake me for whenever this Halloween comes by!"
Whis was grinning even more so than usual in anticipation. "But, my lord, what if you simply won't wake up? Should I simply have the candy for my-"
"Nice try, Whis," Beerus interrupted. "If I'm unavailable, you will gather as much candy as possible and leave me 75%."
Whis looked outraged. "That's oppression! I won't stand for it!"
Bulma sighed. "Before you two get into an argument, can we just watch the video? Halloween is still a long time from now."
Beerus ignored the glare Whis was giving him. "Fine by me. I want to learn more about this holiday."
The screen returns to static until it fades, revealing a homemade video from an old video camera. It showed a smiling Dr. Briefs with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Dad," Bulma asked in surprise.
Dr. Briefs: Hello, there! I'm Dr. Briefs. And this is Halloween [ ]-
Everyone gripped their ears in pain.
"What did he say?" Tien asked. "I heard '08.'"
"I heard '21,'" Frieza replied.
"That was annoying," Beerus grunted. "I hope that's the last time that happens."
Dr. Briefs: -at the Briefs house!
More static, the scene changing to a picture of Goku in a familiar straw hat.
"Wait, Goku, what's with the hat?" Krillin asked. "That your costume?"
"Huh," Goku said, blinking. "I feel like I saw that hat before…."
"Didn't it belong to that pirate kid?" Gohan said. "Lulu or something?"
"Luffy," Goku said, holding his head as it hurt. "I think that's his name. We met him and that chef guy."
"Toriko," Piccolo said.
"Right," Mr. Satan nodded. "The IGO Tournament. Wait, when did that happen? I can't remember."
"Weird," Android 18 blinked. "I can't seem to recall it either."
Unbeknownst to them, a small crack appeared on the wall behind them, and in the back of Mr. Popo's mind, he could hear maniacal laughter slowly growing louder.
Dr. Briefs: Hello, there, Goku. How are you?
Goku: Hey, there, guys! I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
"Ugh," Vegeta gave a disgusted groan. "Now I remember. That pirate brat kept on repeating that. And I thought Kakarot was an idiot."
Dr. Briefs: Well, isn't THAT annoying?
"Was it really that bad?" Beerus asked.
"Believe me, yes."
The static takes over, showing a young Gohan wearing a hat with antlers along with a reindeer snout.
Dr. Briefs: And how about you, Gohan?
Gohan: I'm a doctor, too! See?
"A doctor would be nice," Chi-Chi admitted before smiling at Gohan, "but a scholar is even better."
Gohan smiled back before frowning. "Am I dressed as… Chopper?"
"I think so," Goku nodded, before beaming. "Guess we match!"
Gohan smiled back again, but this time, part of him felt… off. The crack has begun to grow.
Dr. Briefs: Well, that's absolutely adorable.
"Agreed," Videl kissed her husband on the cheek, causing the half-Saiyan to blush.
Dr. Briefs: I wish I had a grandson!
Trunks smiled. "Wish granted!"
Cue static, changing to Krillin dressed like a weirdly dressed baby.
18 and Marron giggled at the sight, while Krillin blushed.
Krillin: Hey, guys! Check it out! I'm Koenma!
"Who?" Krillin asked, holding his head. He had the image of a toddler with a pacifier wearing that outfit, then it switched to a dashing young man with the word Jr on his head, also having the same pacifier.
Mr. Popo holds his head in a bit of pain.
"Mr. Popo?" Dende asked concerned.
"Just a headache," Mr. Popo tries to smile.
Krillin: Dude! Halo!
Dr. Briefs: You know, I don't remember inviting you.
Krillin: Y… Yeah…
"What!" Krillin shouted. "That's mean!"
Bulma laughed. "I promise to invite you to our next Halloween party. Maybe."
"MAYBE?!"
Static changes to show Piccolo with more human like skin and had some weird hair.
"Um… Piccolo, what's with the hair?" Gohan asked.
"The hair, what's with his skin?" Vegeta demanded.
"Hmm… I think the hair looks stranger," Roshi noted.
The cracks slowly grew more, a cool shiver running across the room.
Dr. Briefs: And who are you supposed to be?
Piccolo: I'm Spike, from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
Dr. Briefs: Well, that's odd. Why on Earth would ya dress up like that?
Static changes to reveal a creepy guy in real life dressed as a wolf.
"Oh, my god, what is that?" Bulma shrieked.
"It looks so weird!" Goten shouted.
"And bulky" Trunks shivered as its eyes blinked strangely.
"Disgusting," Beerus sneered, with multiple others nodding.
Dr. Briefs: And… wait, who's that?
"Not even you know, Dad?" Bulma shouted, hiding behind Vegeta.
Yamcha (muffled): It's me, Yamcha!
H shows the teeth.
Marron began to cry, not liking the costume. Android 18 and Krillin went to her instantly.
"Aw, honey, it's okay," Krillin soothed the girl.
Android 18 glared at Yamcha. "This is your fault, Yamcha! Pick a less creepy costume next time!"
"How is this my fault?" Yamcha protested. "Puar, you agree that- WHY ARE YOU SITTING ALL THE WAY OVER THERE?!"
"You're creepy!" Puar shouted back, breaking Yamcha's heart a little
The laughter echoed throughout Mr. Popo's mind, and unknown to him, his mouth began to move into a grin.
Yamcha (muffled): I'm a werewolf! I take my wolf fang fist very seriously.
"Too seriously," Bulma muttered.
Dr. Briefs: And… …creepy!
Static changes the screen (thank god) and shows a younger Bulma dressed like a Playboy Bunny.
"Wait a second!" Bulma shouted as the perverts in the room looked at her. "That's a younger version of me! When I was a teen!"
"How can you tell?" Vegeta asked. "You look pretty much the same."
"That's sweet of you, Vegeta, but I can tell!"
A small amount of black liquid began pouring from the wall's crack.
Dr. Briefs: Dear GOD, honey! What are YOU wearing!?
Bulma: Well, someone took my Sailor Moon costume!
"I think I'm a bit too old for that!" Bulma stated.
Static changes the scene to a badly edited Oolong head on Sailor Moon's body.
Oolong: Hey, boys.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Oolong shouted.
"Well you are a shape shifter," Roshi reasoned. "You could technically do that."
"Just because I can, doesn't mean I ever will!"
Static changes to show a shirtless Tien.
"Wait, Tien, where's your costume?" Chiaotzu asked.
Tien shrugged.
Dr. Briefs: Well, that's a nice Mr. Clean outfit, there, Tien!
"Mr. Clean?" Tien roared, Chiaotzu holding back a giggle.
Tien: Actually, I'm just here to drop off Chiaotzu.
"Oh, come on, Tien!" Chiaotzu smiled. "Lighten up."
"Fine…" Tien grumbled.
Dr. Briefs: Oh. Well, uh… …if you gave yourself a goatee, you could make a decent Howie Mandel.
Tien: Make it a bloody tanktop and Bruce Willis, and we're golden.
The scene changes to a black Chiaotzu with red lips, obviously mimicking Mr. Popo.
Mr. Popo tries to frown but finds that he can't stop smiling. Panicked, he tries to turn, but can't move.
Dr. Briefs: And who are you supposed to be?
Chiaotzu: Hii, I'm Mr. Popo!
Mr. Popo (both the real one and the abridged one who was off-screen): Well, then, we're gonna have problem, aren't we?
Goku looked at Mr. Popo in confusion, as did others. "Um… Mr. Popo? Did you say something?"
Mr. Popo merely shakes his head and continues to smile. The others shudder but turn back to the screen.
Static changes to a close up to Mr. Popo.
Dr. Briefs: Now, wait a second. You weren't invited.
Mr. Popo: Fool. I don't need an invitation.
"Where's Mr. Popo's costume?" Dende asked.
Dr. Briefs: Ah, well, ah… what's your costume?
Mr. Popo (gleefully): Oh, I'm not in costume. Yet! Hold on.
Static changes and suddenly gunfire is heard, and the camera shows a dark sky. Mr. Popo's chilling laughter echoes throughout the building. A horrifying monster stomps as explosions wrap around it, doing no damage at all.
"What the hell is this?" Beerus asked. "What an absolute-"
Suddenly, out of the screen, the monster's limb smashed into Beerus, knocking the God of Destruction like a rag doll. Everyone screamed except Popo, who began to laugh, dark liquid coming out of his mouth. The same dark liquid came from the cracks and more monster limbs were sent out, attacking.
"What the hell?" Vegeta said, firing a ki blast, only for it to be absorbed and fired back. He dodged but was then crushed under a limb in an instant.
"Get everyone to safety!" Gohan ordered, grabbing Videl, Pan, and Mr. Satan.
The group retreated, Frieza being the only one who was fighting, mainly out of both fear and annoyance. Whis, who actually looked alarm, made a barrier with his staff. Suddenly, a limb turned into a tentacle, smashing into the barrier, shattering it like glass. Whis barely had time to gasp when it grabbed him, almost crushing him. Suddenly, an explosion of godly ki is released. Beerus was up!
"Enough!"
Beerus raised his hand, a ridiculous amount of energy was gathered.
"Hakai!"
He released pure destruction capable of wiping out the gods and the universe itself.
…
…
Only for the energy to simply do nothing. The beast merely shrugging it off.
"Wait, what?" everyone screamed, and Beerus himself was grabbed by a limb.
Suddenly, a shining light came from above, twin shadows on the beast.
"You are very nasty!"
"We told you to stay there!"
"Zennies!" Goku beamed, his button in hand but untouched.
"Not now, Saiyan Goku."
"We have to clean"
"Really clean!"
The beast looked at Zeno, and for once it displayed something no one thought to see, fear. It looked around for an escape when the two Zenos raised their hands.
"For the last time, go away!" they shouted, a blinding white light hitting the monster.
"Ahh!" The familiar voice of Abridged Mr. Popo screamed. "Damnit! Lord Zeno might save you, but I'm coming for you fucking maggots!"
And in an instant, the monster was gone. Those who were grabbed by the monster fell to the ground, stunned.
"Um… I'm sorry, WHAT?!" Beerus shouted.
"Are you okay, my lord?" Whis asked, getting to his feet.
"Oh, I'm anything but okay!" Beerus screeched. "What the hell was that!"
"Popo?" Dende asked concerned at the unconscious Mr. Popo.
"He'll be alright," one Zeno said.
"It isn't his fault," the other nodded.
"Um, Zennies," Goku asked, getting their attention. "What just happened?"
The two Omni-Kings looked at each other and nodded. They faced their friend. "Better for all of you to not know. Pesky memories go away!"
In a flash they were gone, everyone was sitting at their seats with their snacks.
"AND- Wait, what was I yelling about?" Beerus blinked in confusion.
"Probably something food-related," Bulma sighed, groaning and gripping her head.
"Why isn't the next video playing!" Trunks whined.
"Yeah, I want to see it!" Goten agreed.
"Now you two, hold on," Goku said. "it's on, now!"
"AHH! God damnit! I'll be back!"
Ugh… What happened? Oh, thank Zeno. He was chased out. So if you want to know his plan, he basically shattered the Fourth Wall a bit to try to get into the story. He did so in multiple ways, one for each costume. Though, for the first two, it was pretty much the same thing..
1. One Piece and Dragon Ball have had a crossover event in the past, along with Toriko.
2. Yu Yu Hakusho's Koenma shares the same voice actress as Krillin, Mayumi Tanaka. Plus, they have a few similar traits as short comic relief characters. There are other similarities, but I'm a bit tired and need to focus on other things.
3. Piccolo's design was badly edited for more realistic hair.
4. Yamcha's appearance was human, thus unnatural to the 2D world.
5. Bulma was shown with a younger picture of herself, rather than her more adult self. It was difficult to tell the difference.
6. Oolong was obviously edited to be Sailor Moon.
7. Chiaotzu's doesn't break the fourth wall, but it enrages and empowers Mr. Popo enough to let him shatter it.
Luckily, our lord and savior Zeno was able to defeat the Prototype Omni-King. Hopefully, that Majin won't come close to us again. Well it seems we couldn't see the last part of the special. Nothing major, just Vegeta getting a permanent marker to the face to look like his father and Nappa as Vic Mignogna/Broly. Oh, and King Kai as Papa Smurf and Bubbles as Jiminy Cricket. You can check the rest of the episode out on Youtube. Probably not a good idea to show the rest because it might summon Popo again. Have a Happy Halloween and a wonderful start of November.
