Announcer: Last time on Dragonball Z!! Piccolo is up! And so is the alien Wishnik after their beating from the alien Nano. Nano has started a fight with Vegeta a few kilometers down the road, but Piccolo and Wishnik have their own problems as they watch the space ship of the Ambassador, Lord Zucc’s second in commmand, descend from the skies! Meanwhile, Gohan has received some help with his aliens as Tien and Yamcha join the fight. But will they be enough? Find out today on Dragonball Z! One Down At the near-leveled mountain range Piccolo: So how powerful is the Ambassador? Wishnik: He’d be about average for our planet, but his special attack makes him stronger than all of us! Piccolo: Then we can’t let that thing land! (charges up a ki blast and takes aim) Wishnik: NO!!! STOP!!! (grabs Piccolo’s arm and tries to pull it down with all of his strength) You mustn’t!! Piccolo: Don’t tell me you’re still loyal to them--- Wishnik: NO! The shields are up! Can’t you see them??? The attack will hit them, be magnified several times and come smashing back at us! Only his ship has that feature! Piccolo: How do you know--- Wishnik: I designed it! I designed all the ships in Lord Zucc’s fleet. If I couldn’t do that, he wouldn’t have kept me alive. This model of ship has no weak points. We won’t be able to hurt the Ambassador until his ship is on the ground. Piccolo: So why do you call him the ambassador? That isn't his name, is it? Wishnik: Oh no. He was the ambassador from a neighboring galaxy. My sister somehow convinced him overthrowing the government of Planet Zucc was a good idea-- (a loud bang is heard overhead) Piccolo: What was that? Wishnik: That was the landing gear kicking in. The ship will be on the ground in a few minutes. I think you’re best bet would be to go help your friends try and finish off the rest of Lord Zucc’s group before the ship lands. If you outnumber them enough, the Ambassador might leave. Piccolo: Sounds like a plan. (starts to go towards Vegeta) Wishnik: Wait! You shouldn’t go that way! Piccolo: And why not? Wishnik: The one’s fighting that way need your help more. (points) Piccolo: You mean there’s another fight going on?!?! Wishnik: Yes. I sensed both Tazo and Wibbler when they powered up. They are far away, so you should hurry. Piccolo: I wish I would’ve known sooner. It must be Yamcha and Tien. (starts to fly off but stops) Aren’t you coming? Wishnik: No, I’d be no use to you! I’m going to meet The Ambassador and attempt to reason with him! Piccolo: Good luck! Wishnik: Same to you. Now hurry! (Piccolo disappears from sight and the ship begins a slow hover a few feet away from Wishnik; Wishnik is trembling) Cut to outside Gohan’s house Tazo: Wibbler, let’s end this, shall we? (Wibbler grunts in responce and knocks Yamcha down with one skillfully delivered punch and begins to walk toward Tien; Tien looks on in shock for a moment then springs into action) Tien: TRI-BEAM HA!!! (a beam of light comes from Tien’s hands posed around his eye; it pushes Wibbler back a few feet, but doesn’t harm him) HA! (Tien pushes Wibbler back a few more feet but his approach continues) Gohan: (has caught his breath) LEAVE THEM ALONE! (manages to power up back to Super Saiyan) Tazo: So you still have a little bit of fight left in you, boy? Wibbler, want me to take this one? Wibbler: (growls; is upset Gohan broke free of his bearhug; raises a hand towards Tazo as if to hit him) Tazo: Okay, okay, I’ll stay out....(thinking) "He’s not obeying! Useless brute! Or maybe not so useless....." Wibbler, could you come here a moment? Wibbler: (has Tien by the neck and was ready to crush him; throws him on top of Yamcha instead and walks toward Tazo; suddenly notices a strange look in Tazo’s eyes and is seized with fear; begins to attempt to run; Tazo is in front of him in the blink of an eye) Tazo: Awww, come on Wibbler. You knew this day would come. Say goodbye to all the stupid Earthlings! (the disk on Tazo’s arm glows a menacing shade of purple and begins to suck Wibbler into itself; Wibbler lets out a scream) Gohan: WHAT’RE YOU DOING TO HIM?!? Tazo: I’m doing you a favor, kid. Now there’s one less of us for you to try and kill! HAHAHAHAHA! (And then it was done. Tazo has absorbed Wibbler into himself. Tazo no stands almost twice his previous height and is extremely muscular. There is nothing left of Wibbler) Tien: Monster! You don’t even show any compassion towards your own kind! Tazo: He wasn’t like me. He was just the help. And he knew it was coming. I’ve been doing this for years. (grabs Gohan by the shoulders and begins crushing him; Gohan doesn’t have the strength to fight him off anymore) Tien: HEY! Leave him alone! (jumps to his feet and runs at Tazo; Tazo kicks him back to the ground and stands on his chest with one foot; he now is just as strong, if not stronger, than Wibbler was) Tazo: Consider yourself lucky buys. Between Wibbler and the crazy dark haired lady I have enough energy so I’m not going to take any of your life force. Of course that means you’re of no further use to me, but hey, that’s not my problem. Gohan: I-I’m going to make you pay for what you did to my mom! Tazo: You don’t need to worry about her. I didn’t take her as completely as I did Wibbler; You can still have a funeral. You know, she didn’t have as much useful energy as the disk originally picked up. Oh, well---(hears a sound) /beep/..../beep/...../beep/....(a little light on Tazo’s collar flashes with the beeps) Oh, excuse me. I have to take this call. (throws Gohan aside; he passes out; Yamcha and Tien are still down; the light on Tazo’s collar glows solid as he picks up; the Z fighters can only hear Tazo’s side of the conversation) Yeah, what DO you want Nano? I’m in the middle of something---(lets out a slight scream) Oh, its you Ambassador! No, not finding any noticeable resistance. Report back to the ship? Yes sir! (light turns off) Looks like duty calls. But this should keep you three amused until I come back. (flies into the air, thows a small device in their direction, and screams) GALAXY CANNON ARMED! (suddenly ki blasts begin to fall from the sky, almost like rain from the device allowing Tazo to make an easy get away) Yamcha: We’d better try and lure that thing away from the house. Otherwise Chi Chi will kill us all. Tien: Yeah, that woman’s crazy. Meanwhile, at a two-story mall somewhere Android 18: So that woman I knocked out was your old girlfriend? Krillin: uh-huh. Android 18: Wow. I’ll have to tell 17 about that. He’ll be mad he missed it. He likes to torment humans. Krillin: (looks a little uneasy) I kinda noticed that--- Android 18: Don’t worry, you’re safe. He likes you, though I’m not sure why. (begins walking towards a "you are here" map; Krillin is hurt by 18’s words but he stays with her; 18 doesn’t seem to notice Krillin’s pain) Krillin: You’re not going to steal anything from this mall, are you? Android 18: Depends on if I find anything I want. Hmm...I’ve got a skirt. Now I need shoes. (looks at the "you are here" map; doesn’t look up as Krillin speaks) Krillin: You know, stealing is kind of illegal--- Android 18: (wasn’t paying attention) What’s that? Krillin: (loses his nerve) Nothing. Android 18: (points at a store on the second floor on the map) I think I’ll try there. Krillin: I think the escalator was back that way-- Android 18: (looks up; can see the store she wants through a glassless skylight in the ceiling of the lower floor; The ceiling of the first floor is the floor of the second) No, that’ll take too long. (flies up to the second floor) Come on Krillin! Lady 1: EEEKK! ITS A FLYING WOMAN!!!! Man 1: SHE MUST BE SOME KIND OF MONSTER!! Man 2: Let’s get out of here!!! Lady 2: Hey, woman and children first! (shoves man 1 out of the way; there is a stampede of people running towards the doors) Krillin: Wow....(realizing everyone has fled, flies up next to 18) Android 18: Cool, no lines. (sees a pair of black knee boots with a couple small blue flowers on the ankles; its the same shade as the skirt she picked out earlier) These are the ones I want! (tries a pair on) Yes! Perfect fit! (looks around and remembers what Krillin said; she was paying attention after all) Its not stealing if there’s nobody there to pay. (picks up her old shoes and puts them in a box; hands the box to Krillin) I’m going to wear these home. Krillin: So you’re happy? Android 18: (nods) I still have to find a top though. This mall isn’t fun anymore. Let’s go. (flies out an open window in the skylight; Krillin reluctantly follows) Krillin: (thinking) "Man, this is the weirdest shopping trip I’ve ever been on." (Back with Wishnik, the ship is now landed. The door opens slowly and as a frightened Wishnik continues preparing what to say, the Ambassador steps out. He is a large almost gold-colored alien wearing long robes. He stands motionless in the doorway of the ship.) Wishnik: Good to see you Ambassador. (bows) Announcer: Looks like trouble on Earth. The Ambassador has arrived and the aliens are regrouping around his coordinates, and something tells me its not for a girl scout meeting! Will anyone be able to stop them? Be sure to watch the next exciting episode of Dragonball Z!
