Chapter Seven : It Begins

"How is the search going at the moment?"
"We have to locate one more dragon ball sire, but don't worry, we shall have the 4-star dragon ball no later than today." Koogari turned around and walked off, leaving his master pondering on his excitement. He wanted his wishes granted now! Koogari exited the chamber and then was confronted by Muchi1.
"What is it?" Koogari asked.
"We have located the ball."
"Excellent."

Meanwhile, Vegeta and Shin Piccolo were still arguing when Dende approached them and halted their fight.
"Who are you?" demanded Vegeta.
Piccolo however told him to show more respect because of who he was. Vegeta didn't believe in green beings, or earth guardians, or anything out of the ordinary. G had some second thoughts though. They did look real to him, but he wasn't going to tell Vegeta...no, he didn't want to start another argument. G asked Nion if what Piccolo said was true. Of course she dignified that with a true answer. Dende took no notice of what the children were saying and asked Vegeta who his ancestors were. Of course, the proud boy told him his family line and eventually he talked about Vegeta Snr. Dende thought he was a Saiya hybrid. No human would have powers such as this. He then turned to G.
"Are you a Saiya too?"
"I guess so, but unlike them, I hate to fight. Never liked it at all."
Dende smiled. What are the chances of that? This kid looked similar to Trunks, another looked like a carbon copy of Vegeta and another looked like Piccolo. Was the genetic pool running on low or something? Dende continued to think, ignoring Piccolo and Vegeta who were now fist fighting. Popo watched in terror as the pavements of the lookout were being broken. Dende laughed, and said that it's nice to remind themselves about the past. Popo reluctantly agreed.

Back on Earth, Pastri was now kicking dust, tired of waiting for Gokou with the Soy sauce. Pan wasn't surprised. Gokou had an attention span of a fish. Pan watched as Pastri marched back and forth holding a wooden spoon, whining about the food getting cold, when she said:
"Where is he?! I can't take this no more!"
"It's okay Pastri, I can feel his ki coming our way at this moment." Pan assured her.
Pastri relaxed a little and concentrated, trying to lock onto his energy signal, but something was wrong. Yes she felt an energy, but she wasn't sure it is Gokou's. Pastri told her grandmother, and so Pan concentrated again before realizing Pastri was right. She stood up and looked around the room. Something was definitely wrong. She wasn't familiar with this ki.
"Wait here, I'll go check it out" Pan said.
Pastri told her not too, and said she'll go, but Pan told her it will be fine. After all, it has been a long time since she has had an adventure. She needed some excitement. Pastri watched Pan exit the front door before returning to the kitchen bench to make herself some hot lemon water.

Pan closed the door behind her and walked around a little. Nothing. When she finally gave up, Pan turned to open the door when she saw a shadow descend behind her. Slowly she turned around to find herself confronted by a tall, skinny man with blue hair covering half of his face.
"Are you Son Pan?" he asked.
"Yes I am, and who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. The important thing is what I am here for."
"And that is?" she inquired.
"The 4-star dragon ball."
Pan couldn't believe it. It has been so many years since she had heard of those words. A quick shiver shot up her spine. It was plain and simple. These people were after the dragon balls for their own selfish needs.
"I don't have it" she lied.
Koogari knew better than that, and brushed his blue hair away from his face.
"You're a terrible liar. Well if you won't give it to me, we will have to take it by force!"
His eyes glowed purple and Muchi1, 2 and 3 appeared, surrounding Pan. She wasn't afraid, not at the slightest. She smiled and took her fighting stance. Sure she was old, but fighting was in her blood.
"Fine! If you want to do it that way, but remember even though I am old, I can still throw a mean punch!"
The 3 attackers advanced on Pan and when she went to hit them, a sharp pain surged down her back. Back pain! The short delay allowed the attackers to casually knock Pan out cold. Koogari laughed, and was about to go acquire the dragon ball when someone else confronted him. It was Pastri, and she was angry.
"If you're going to take my grandmother, you have to get through me first!" she threatened.
"We don't want her...we want the dragon ball!"
Pastri was stunned. The dragon ball was in Gokou's room at the back of his cupboard. It also became obvious that Pan knew they would use them for the wrong reasons, and she tried to stop them but it was impossible for her old age.
"It's not here! Now go away and leave us in peace!"
Koogari chuckled.
"Do I have to prove myself again?" and with that the 3 attackers shot energy beams at Pastri. After the smoke disappeared, Pastri was gone, but not for long. They all looked up to see Pastri overhead, flying at them in quick speed. She landed punches and kicks, but it didn't even phase them one bit. Pastri realized this and backed away. She couldn't let anything happen to her grandmother and the dragon ball, so Pastri drew her hands back and chanted, "Kame Hame..."
Energy swelled in her and magnified in her hands before several rays emulated from them.
"HA!!!"
The energy was forced forward and the three attackers watched as the energy completely enveloped them. Pastri continued the assault, not able to see anything beyond her hands when she suddenly noticed something. Something was flying through her energy, but it was too late. An attacker hit Pastri twice before she fell onto the ground, drained from the energy output. She listened to the evil laughs and finally fainted a few feet away from her grandmother.

The villains entered the house, raiding everything before finding the dragon ball in Gokou's cupboard. Afterwards, they flew back to their hideout situated on a large secluded ice island. Semi was proud. He watched the 7 dragon balls glow as they all were put together in a circle. Semi congratulated his henchmen and then began summoning the dragon by saying the passwords. The sky began to darken and lightning struck. People everywhere were looking around in awe, wondering were the clear sky went. Linni and Hazell were also looking, and so was Gokou and Gokun. On the Lookout, everyone had also paused. "Someone has summoned the dragon!" Popo cried.
"That's a myth" Vegeta sneered.
Nion became afraid of the sudden darkness and grabbed onto her brother's shirt and buried her face, waiting till it all goes away.
"How could the dragon be summoned so quickly? The 100 years had just expired a few hours ago." Dende said. Everyone on earth were really confused, all but Semi that is. He watched as the dragon took form before him and asked what his 2 wishes were. He couldn't believe that the time has finally come.
"Eternal Shenron...make me young again!"
The dragon agreed to this wish and made Semi young again, probably in his early 20's.
"What is your second wish?" the beast demanded, scaring Semi's henchman.
"Make me the most powerful being on Earth!"
The dragon also agreed to this and granted the wish before it departed in a great display of light as the dragon balls all scattered once again. The henchman watched the sky return to normal and turned to their master.
"Did it work?" they all inquired.
Semi just looked up and smiled strongly. Lightning bolts surged from his body. He had no clue that true power felt this way. Semi paced forward while his men watched him in amazement. He laughed wildly as he looked at the Earth around him.
"What are you going to do now?" Muchi3 asked.
"I'm going to take over the world!" Semi laughed, "This circular globe has done nothing for me, and I am destined to be the greatest! Now I will take revenge!"
Raising up his hands, white energy appeared as he released the energy, making everything it touched into ice. The ice quickly settled over the lands and plains, the cities and the deserts, until nothing was left. Semi could hear the horrific cries of help, but just laughed at their wasted efforts. Everyone on the Lookout looked over the edge in terror, as the Earth was transformed from a green and blue planet to a white wasteland.
"What are you going to do now? You look defeated now. You're not so tough without your environmentally friendly children are you?!" Semi called in triumph.

"The dragon balls...they have now scattered..." mumbled Shin Piccolo.
"What does that mean?" G asked, "The balls are really real? That means someone has had their wishes granted!"
"Yeah, but who knows what the 2 wishes were?" he replied.
"Not good." Nion shivered as she held onto Vegeta's shirt, looking slowly over the edge. Dende and Popo had no idea such evil could have been born again, and they weren't sure what to do now. The previous Z-fighters are already gone and so no one can save the Earth now.
"Then what are we all waiting for?" Vegeta yelled, "Lets all stop this thing!"

Looks like Vegeta is ready for action, but how about the others? And what about Bobulla? Linni? Hazell? Pastri? Gokou? Pan? and Gokun? Have their peaceful days finally come to an end?
