The Arrival A group MiSTing by: Anindo Mukherjee (editor), and Brendan Juba Original Work by: Mike Hill [SoL, the scene opens in the theater, sorry, but no intro segment] >A little background. A Future Trunks lands on earth, he goes crazy at >the site of the normal Trunks. Crow: And after he walked away from the site, he became sane again. Well, that was a gripping tale of a boy's brush with madness, can we go now? >He nearly kills him inflicting serious pain on Future Trunks. Tom: So who is killing who here? Crow: Um, wasn't normal Trunks a baby when Future Trunks landed? >Most people will think that if the Future Trunks dies, the normal >Trunks will die as well. Tom: Who's 'most people'? Mike: Fanboys, probably. >The way this is set, Future Trunks has the effects on the proper time >line. If Future Trunks dies, Normal Trunks will survive due to Future >Trunks still basically existing in the future. To sum it up. Whatever >happens to Future Trunks remains on the time line in the future. >Whatever happens to Normal Trunks remains throughout the time >line. This makes it so whatever happens to Normal Trunks happens to >Future Trunks. This should have made an easier understanding of >how to figure it out when it happens. Crow: But it hasn't. >Thank you for reading this story. Crow: Hey, it's over already! >The Arrival It was a warm day out, warmer than usual this time of >year. Mike: Yes... little *too* warm... Tom: Dragon Ball Z!! Clash of the Super Saiyajin versus the Greenhouse Effect!! >Goku was outside training with Gohan. It had been a few years since >Goku died, and the Kaioshin Elder returned his life and Vegeta's. >Gohan, being in school, hadn't had much time to train with his father. >They were wondering why it was so warm out. Gohan did well in >school. In a few days school would be over for him. Tom: Gohan's socks were orange. Gohan liked ice cream. >He would be able to spend more time with Videl now. >Goku: What's up? Can't take the heat? Mike: (as Gohan) No... Videl's putting on the moves, and I have this fear of commitment. >Gohan: I can. Try this on for size. Tom: (with lisp) It's a darling little outfit that's just to DIE for, and... >Gohan charged up a powerful Masenko, more powerful than Goku >had expected, but Goku dodged it easily. Tom: Oh. >Goku: Nice try, but it is going to take a lot more to get me. Gohan: I >knew you'd dodge it. Crow: (as Gohan) I only fired it because I'm stupid. >Hope you can keep up with me now. Gohan charged up to Super >Saiyan Level 3. As Goku stared a bit in amazement, he powered to >level 4. Tom: What?! At this part in the series, there was no level 4!! And why is Gohan a Super Saiyan Level 3? And why would... [Tom's head explodes] Crow: Oh, no, Tom! Mike: Let him go, Crow, it might be better if he didn't see this. >Goku: I am going to kick your butt little man. >Gohan: Do your best. You'll never land a punch. >Over at the Capsule Corp. Vegeta and Bulma were arguing, as usual, >but this time about over who gets the new room, Trunks or Bra. Crow: Even though this was a multibillion dollar company's headquarters, there was only one room empty? >Vegeta: TRUNKS DESERVES IT!!!!!!! HE IS THE OLDEST!!!!! >Bulma: Bra needs a new room, the basement is already starting to >need the usual repairs. Crow: What repairs? >Vegeta: What repairs!?!? Crow: Yeah! >Bulma: Every 10 years, the basement begins to break up. Mike: (as Bulma) I *told* you not to build the basement out of paper mache, but you had to be a cheapskate! >Vegeta: I guess you're right there, but Trunks is the oldest. >Bulma: I don't think this will ever get settled. I know, how about we >flip a coin? Crow: [sighs] Beauty *and* brains! >Vegeta: I guess so. >Bulma flips the coin. Mike: Edge of your seat action and suspense. >Vegeta: Heads. >The coin lands with tails facing up. Crow: (As referee) She wins the coin toss... Bulma will receive the ball! >Vegeta: I guess Bra gets the room now. Mike: I guess so. Crow: The End. >Bulma: Now that this dispute is settled, how about we get some dinner >now? >Vegeta: I could use some food. >At Krillin's house every thing was calm as usual. Mike: 'Calm as usual'? Does this guy even WATCH Dragonball Z? Crow: Maybe it's a Dragonball GT fic. Mike: Ohhh... >Marron was studying her books. No. 18 wasreading her magazines. >Krillin was outside training. >No. 18: Krillin. Could you please come in here? >Krillin: I can't. In a few minutes. >No. 18: KRILLIN!!!! >Krillin: HOLD ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >No. 18: NOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >Krillin: I've been through this before, I can finish this now . . . Mike: A tense moment as the married couple yell at each other for a while. >No. : KRIL . . .LIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mike: STEL...LA!!!!!!!!!!!! Crow: TETSUO!!!!!!!!!! Mike: KANEDA!!!!!!!!!!! Tom: RICOLA!!!!!!! Mike: Tom, you're okay! Tom: Yeah, I just replaced the burnt out head. Crow: Uh, how'd you do that without working arms, Tommy boy? Tom: Shut up and read the fanfic, Crow. >Krillin: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >No. 18: It's about time. Crow: Heh heh heh... Mike: Now, that's a bit of a stretch, Crow. >Over at Yamcha's, he was watching T.V. as usual, but something >seemed different. Yamcha couldn't quite put his finger on it. Mike: Maybe the remote was missing? >He knew something was wrong. Something was definitelydifferent. Tom: This author must be experimenting with some new 'overshadowing through redundancy' technique. >It attracted Tien and Chaotzu over to Yamcha's. >Tien: What's going on? Crow: (as Tien) We sensed you lost your remote, Yamcha. >Yamcha: I don't know. Have you ever had the feeling of Deja Vu? >Tien: Yeah. It definitely feels like we've been through this before. Tom: (in falsetto, as Chaotsu) Yeah! How many times are we gonna have to come over and find your freakin remote, Yamcha?! >Chaotzu: Yeah Tien. >Yamcha: What I want to know is why we have this feeling. Crow: I don't. >Back at Goku's. >Goku: What do you say we take a break and head over to? Tom: Dragonball Z: No Need For Nouns! >Gohan: Head over to whose? Mike: I was about to ask that. >Goku: I have a strange feeling of Deja Vu. >Gohan: That's strange. Let's head over to Yamcha's then. Tom: (as Goku) Yes, that's where I think we should go now that we've discussed the strange strangeness of this strange feeling. >That's where we usually go when wehave a feeling like that. Mike: (as Gohan) No, wait, that's the psychiatrist's office. >Goku: That's just where I was thinking of going. Mike: Maybe it isn't Deja vu, but just telepathy. >Back to Krillin's. >Krillin: I have to go. I'll be back soon. I have a strange feeling. Mike: Get him some Pepto-bismol... >No. 18: Head over to Yamcha's then. >Krillin: That's just where I was going. Crow: (as No. 18) Fine, go to Yamcha's. Tom: (as Krillin) Fine! I will! Crow: (as No. 18) Good! >No. 18: Maybe I should come with you. We'll drop Marron at Chi- >Chi's. If I'm right,everybody else is probably at Yamcha's. Tom: (as No. 18) Yes... things are going exactly as I planned... >Krillin: MARRON!!!!!!!!! >Marron: Yes. >Krillin: Let's go, your going to Chi-Chi's for now. We're going out for >a while. >Marron: Okay. Crow: Wow, the character of Marron is so deep and well-thought-out. >Krillin: Let's go.Over to Chi-Chi's. Crow: (as Krillin) I'm repeating myself due to the extreme importance of these lines. Mike: He could've just removed the period and had a perfectly good sentence. >Chi-Chi: Goku is going to Yamcha's. I want you to go too. Tom: (as Chi-Chi) There's probably a villain there, and since there's going to be a huge showdown, I wouldn't want you to miss that. >Goten: Okay. I'll be back soon then. >Chi-Chi: Hurry up. I wonder if that kid will ever come back when he >says he will. Mike: I don't. >Over to where Piccolo is, he is trying to figure where to go. Crow: (as Piccolo) Where the hell is Gohan? He said he was going out for gum two days ago... Tom: Say, Mike, you don't think that he will go to Yamcha's do you? Mike: No, I bet he's going to go to the grocery store... or the restroom... >Piccolo: Where should I go? Tom: (as Scarlett O'Hara) Wherever will I go, whatever will I do? Crow: (as Rhett Butler) Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn! >No doubt Goku, Gohan, and Goten are going to Yamcha's. Crow: No doubt... >Krillin and No. 18 are probably heading there. Tom: *How* does he know all this?! >I'm not sure about Vegeta. Crow: (As Piccolo) Damn, my newfound telepathy is convieniently gone all of a sudden. >Hmmm. Fine I'll head toYamcha's like everybody else. Mike: (as Piccolo) As everybody else is clearly going to do even though I have no reason to believe that. Crow: You are entering a world where time and logic do not apply. Tom: Entering? >Over at Vegeta's again. Crow: I think the operating word is 'again'. >Vegeta: I'm going out. I'll be back soon if there isn't a battle. If there >is, there's no telling whenI 'll be back. Tom: (as Bulma) Oh, probably when you get your ass kicked by the villain and then stand by and watch as Goku defeats him, dear. >Bulma: Hurry up. >Vegeta: So long. See you sooner or later. >Over at Yamcha's, everyone is just coming in. Goku and Gohan make >it first. Krillin and No. 18 are next. They start talking until Goten >arrives. Mike: (checks watch) Nope, not time for the plot to start yet. Crow: (as Krillin) Uh...so... how about that Kamehameha? >Now they are all talking about what to do. Tom: Oh, so they couldn't discuss their tactical plans without some little kid? Crow: Tactical plans? This is DBZ! >Piccolo and Vegeta come in at the same time. Now they are all there. Tom: And in summary of the entire fic up to this point: the characters all meet at Yamcha's house. Mike: Maybe Yamcha should've invited the plot. >Tien: Yamcha what does all this mean? Mike: (As Tien) Yeah, Yamcha, what'd the author tell you? Is there gonna be a villain or what? Are you holding out on us? >Yamcha: Uh, well, it seems everybody had the same feeling. Crow: (As Yamcha) You are all strangely attracted to me... >Goku: I have a feeling that a Saiyan, most likely Trunks, is coming >from the future. Of course itis just a theory. Tom: (as Goku) Of course, I'm the stupidest character on this TV show, so my theory can't possibly be... >Just then Trunks comes in. Mike and Crow : Wah wah waaaaaah. >Trunks: Don't leave me out of the action! Tom: Awfully feisty for a guy that should be an INFANT at this point in the time line, aren't ya?! Mike: Calm down, Tom. >Vegeta: We weren't planning to. >Trunks: Yeah right dad. >Goku: Let's get back to business. >Yamcha: Of course. >Tien: So what shall we do? Tom: Talk about our feelings some more? >Suddenly a great explosion occurred near the area where Vegeta and >Goku once fought. Mike: You know, that one time, out there by the playground? >Piccolo was the first to hear it. Then Goku and Gohan. Now it >reached Vegeta's ears. Then Krillin jumped up suddenly. Tien and >Chaoutzu heard it. Now the sound had made it toYamcha's ears. Crow: I think this fanfic takes place in an alternate universe where sound travels almost as slow as the plot. >All of them started out to the area of the explosion simultaneously. >Piccolo was the first to reach the site. He stared at the crater in utter >amazement. ASaiyan space pod!! Crow: He hadn't seen one of those since Radditz and Vegeta and Nappa, and Taurus, and Brolly, and... Tom: [coughs 'fanboy'] Crow: Hey, shut up! >Piccolo: What's this doing here? Mike: Gee, I don't know, maybe it landed or something. >Suddenly an unknown visitor came out. Tom: (in announcer voice) Will our mystery guest enter and sign in please! >Piccolo: Who are you, and what are you doing here? >Saiyan: I am the next Prince of the Saiyan Race. I am Trunks. I have >come to destroy thisplanet. Crow: (as Trunks) I...am...Tetsuo!! >Goku, Gohan, Goten, Vegeta, Krillin, Tien, Chaoutzu, and Yamcha >suddenly came in. >All: Not if we can help it. Tom: They all said that? In unison? >The future Trunks fired a POWERFUL energy blast at them. Mike: See, it's powerful because it's in caps. Tom and Crow: Ahh. >Krillin got hit head on. He wasknocked back. A little shaken he rose >to his feet. Tom: And we're back where we were three sentences ago. >Future Trunks: You see, in the future a second Saiyan home world is >destroyed by all of you. Ihave come to stop that. All: Don't count on >it!!! Krillin is the first to attack. Crow: Boy, Krillin sure is the loose cannon of the DBZ crew! He needs to get that raging temper in check! >Krillin: Kienzan!!!!! His powerful disc of energy hits Future Trunks, >but bounces off. Suddenly, the Trunks of this time reaches the battle >ground. This made Future Trunks gocrazy and nearly kill Trunks. Tom: (as narrator) and then the author, embarrassed, realized he had already written this at the very beginning of this godforsaken story. >Future Trunks: Ahhhh. I can't believe I did that!!!!! Arghhhhh. Crow: This dialogue reminds me of Ninja Gaiden for some reason... >Goku: You kill him, you kill yourself. >Future Trunks: What pain!!!!!!! Tom: Now THAT was a witty retort by Future Trunks. >Piccolo: Now I'll attack him. Crow: (as Piccolo) Just to let you guys know. >Piccolo powers up the Super Namek. >Piccolo: Ma >Future Trunks: No!!!!!!!! >Piccolo: kan >Future Trunks: Stop it NOW!!!!! Tom: (as Piccolo) Well, okay, now that you've started using CAPS and all... Mike: I'm not too familiar with DBZ or anything, but I don't think all the villains start begging for mercy in the first few minutes of a fight. >Piccolo: ko >Future Trunks: What a power!!!!!!! Mike: Doesn't he mean 'We Gotta Power'? >Piccolo: sa >Future Trunks: I can't possibly dodge this!!!!!!! Crow: Although that's often been the case, that has to be the first time a DBZ villain has said that. Out loud. >Piccolo: PO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tom: And with that, the villain was buried under a mountain of exclamation points... >The incredible beam hits Future Trunks head on. Future Trunks is >laying on the ground inextreme pain. Crow: The End. Tom: As if we're that lucky... >Future Trunks: YOU WILL DIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >Goku: What makes you so sure? >Future Trunks: This!!!!!!!! >Future Trunks powers up to Super Saiyan Level 6. Tom: Future Trunks is not easily stopped by the fact that there is no such thing as Super Saiyan Level 6. >Goku: Not level 6 again. Crow: Even the *characters* can see the plot contrivance! >Future Trunks: Huh? >Goku: You don't remember? >Future Trunks: No. Mike: Neither do we. >Goku: 5 years after your first time as a Super Saiyan, you made it to >level 6. You were powerful,but Vegeta and I were able to stop you. Crow: Of course, since all that takes place in the future, we don't know about that yet. >Future Trunks: Here goes. Tom: Okay. Any minute now. >Future Trunks powers up an attack. The attack hits Piccolo. He gets >very angry. Mike: (as Bruce Banner) Don't get me angry, Mr. Trunks. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. Crow: Who gets very angry, Future Trunks or Piccolo? Tom: Does it really matter? >Piccolo: Now it is my turn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >Piccolo powers even higher. Tom: In a stunning display of powering one-upmanship. >Piccolo: NOW YOU WILL PAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crow: (in nasal voice) You'll pay for this, Captain Planet! >Future Trunks: Do your best!!!!!! Mike: Is Future Trunks cheering him on? >Piccolo: Makan . . . ko . . . sappo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now the intensity >of the beam was more than doubled. It hit Future Trunks and nothing >wasleft. All: YAAAY! >He was up in the sky. All: Awww... >Future Trunks: Now you will pay. >Goku: Oh yeah. Tom: (in really deep voice) Oooooooh yeaaaaaah. >Future Trunks: Say goodbye. >Goku: Goodbye. >Yamcha takes his turn. Tom: Can you say 'anticlimax'? >Yamcha: Spirit Bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >Future Trunks: >NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! Mike: (as author) Noooo... fingers.. made of lead... can't... type... gahhh. >After the ball of energy hit, Future Trunks is shocked at Yamcha's >power, and fires an energyblast that knocks Yamcha unconscious. Mike: Well, that follows logically. >Future Trunks: Whose next!?!?!?!?! >Krillin: I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >Krillin fires a Kamehameha equal to Goku's level 4 blast. Crow: (snickers) That'll be the day. >Future Trunks: That was nice, but not good ENOUGH!!!!!!!! He fires >another blast that sends Krillin far back. Crow: You know, the thing is, that's probably the most in-character thing the author could've done with Krillin. >Future Trunks: Now whose next? >Tien: ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >Future Trunks: What makes you think you can defeat me???!!!!!! >Tien: I have perfected a new style of the Multi-Form technique. >Instead of my power beingdivided, all of the extra forms have the exact >same power as if I didn't split!!!!!!!!! MULTI-FORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crow: Well, SOMEONE'S been spending their time reading DBZ ani- mayhem cards. Mike: You know, if this were real anime, the other characters would explain his special techniques to the reader instead of him. >Future Trunks get hit badly, but still survives. He knocks Tien down, >and makes sure Chaoutzudoesn't attempt to attack. Tom: (as Future Trunks) Uh, don't attempt to attack. Crow: (as Chaotsu) Okay! >Future Trunks: Now whose next????!!!! >Goten and Gohan: US!!!!!!!!!! >They both fire Kamehameha's that knock Future Trunks down, but >doesn't kill him. Mike: In the years to come, this would be known as the legendary "Weakest Kamehameha Ever". >Trunks: I think I should finish him off. Tom: (as Trunks) Seeing as how it'd be ironic an all... >Trunks powers to Super Saiyan 6 and knocks Future Trunks down, >but STILL doesn't kill him. Mike: You'd think as Super Saiyan 6 you'd be able to do stuff besides push people until they fall down. >Goku: Now he is going to be finished. Mike: ....maybe. Eventually. >Goku unleashes a barrage of kicks and punches that connect. Crow: Woah! They connected! What action! >One of Future Trunks' kicks connects and knocks Goku down. He >gets right up and fires the absolute most powerful Kamehameha blast >ever. This defeats Future Trunks, but doesn't kill him. (Tom's head starts sparking) Crow: No, Tom, it's okay! Maybe this Future Trunks is more powerful than Brolly so he could survive! Mike: Yeah, or maybe it wasn't the absolute most powerful blast ever, it just. (Tom's head fizzles) Tom: I'm ok, I'm ok... >He attempts to get at Goku, but he is so badly hurt he can't even move. >Piccolo makes the scene and blasts Future Trunks out of existence. Mike: The anticlimax is nearly mind-numbing. >Of course the time line is altered and the Trunks we know evolves >back into Future Trunks, but not as the one we know. He is still the >same as we know him. Heremembers this incident which is first in the >EXTREMELY complex time line. Tom: He knows this because he's been reading the DragonballZ coffee table books. >Just then another explosion occurs. 2 miles from the fighting ground >is another Saiyan spacepod. >Goku: Now what? Mike: I was about to say that. >Vegeta: Could it be him again? >Krillin: I hope not. Crow: Me too. >Tien: It can't be. >Chaoutzu: He was killed here, then nothing is left of him in the proper >time line. >Yamcha: It is impossible. Crow: And the rest of this story wasn't? >They all headed toward the explosion, and to there surprise, there was >a entirely unknownSaiyan there. >The Unknown Saiyan: Hello there. I am Son Goku the 3 ^o^. Crow: He has emoticons as part of his name? That *is* futuristic! >How are you today? Tom: Goku 3 *is* Mr. Rogers. >All: Fine. Mike: Thrilling dialogue as the characters exchange pleasantries! >Goku 3 ^o^: I came back after I saw what happened to Future >Trunks. Very tragic to die like that. I'll need his body. Crow: I'm having it stuffed and mounted! >Goku: There is nothing left of it. >Goku 3 ^o^: I see. I tell you the history of him. Crow: (as Goku 3) Since me am historian. >You see, in the future the Saiyan race recovers anew home world. >Vegeta is king, until he dies of a strange heart disease. Mike: Yes... a little *too* strange. >Here. >Goku 3 ^o^ hands Vegeta a bean. Crow: (as narrator) They were *magic* beans. They grew into a great big beanstalk, and when Vegeta climbed it he... >Vegeta takes the strange bean and eats it. >Vegeta: I feel a lot better now. Mike: Kids, the moral of this story is: if a stranger gives you suspicious food, you should eat it right away. Crow: And now that that's done, this entire story was impossible, so it's over, right? >Goku 3 ^o^: That was the cure. Crow: You'd think Bean-o would be the cure, wouldn't you? >His heart disease was in its early stage. After he died, Trunks took on >the roll as Prince. His sort of empire lasted until you came to the >planet. Crow: Prince of the Empire? This guy needs a basic civics lesson. >The Saiyans that were there obeyed only Vegeta, and had no >experience of a Saiyan who looked like you, and of the people with you >visiting the planet. Tom: Looked like who? What people? >They took immediate action and attacked everybody. Crow: Well, that makes perfect sense. Mike: Crow, nothing makes sense here, just get used to it. >Goku, Gohan, and Goten made it out alive. The rest of were either >dead, or on the verge ofdying. >All: *Gasps* Crow: And they gasp in unison. That one's so dumb, I'm not even going to touch it. >Goku 3 ^o^: I was there when it happened. I was born on the planet >when Goku 2 ^o^ was there on vacation. They didn't really notice >him while he was there, and regarded him as and inhabitant. Little >did they know, he was only there for a short time. I was left there. My >father had Vegeta take care of me for the time being. Trunks didn't >even know I was there the whole time. Vegeta was kind to me, he >trained me too. Crow: Yeah, that's *really* in character for Vegeta. >If it weren't for him, I wouldn't probably be here today. After >he died, I was alone. I survived the time there. Tom: (As narrator) Because of my bloody life, it was no accident that I was involved in the troubles. >I eventually returned to the earth Vegeta told me about. I was only on >vacation then. Mike: Little did I know that Saiyan death troopers don't take a vacation. >Later I returned home, and found that Trunks had taken over as >Prince. Of course I began to rebel. Mike: (as Goku 3) I was jealous of Trunks because he got all the girls, and also his hair was so pretty. >Others began too. Then you came. The others attacked you at once. Mike: Who? >You put up a valiant fight. Chaoutzu you died. Tien, Krillin, and >Yamcha, you were near dead, but you survived. The strange thing >about his is that the planet is actuallydestroyed. Crow: And the *funny* thing is, some of you survived anyway. >That no one knows how. Mike: Not even the author. >Goku: Can you tell us a little history about the new planet? Tom: (as Goku 3, and infomercial host) I'm glad you asked that, Goku! >Goku 3 ^o^: I was just going to get to that. >The scene then cuts to the future. Crow: Yeah, I'm beginning to wish he cut this scene myself. >Goku 3 ^o^ is talking explaining the history. Crow: In the future? Or is he explaining the... Mike: Easy, Crow... just ignore it. >Saiyan 1: I wonder if Vegeta wants New Namek destroyed or just >taken over. >Saiyan 2: He said not to harm a soul, but to mark it as his territory. Crow: Eeeww... >Dende 2 ^o^: If Vegeta wants it as HIS territory, but not taken over >he can. It may be in histerritory, but he doesn't rule it. Mike: I think there's some sort of political discussion going on here, but there's no way to be sure. >Saiyan 1: You shut up you green lizard!!!!! >Saiyan 2: He has a point there. Crow: The voice of reason! >Saiyan 1: I would rather destroy the planet. >Saiyan Elite: So would I. Let's begin. Mike: (as Saiyan Elite) Let's go a-planet-destroyin'! >The 3 Saiyans begin to level the planet when Piccolo arrives. Piccolo: >Stop that or you shall PAY!!!!!!!!!!!! Tom: There's a fine for discussing global destruction. I'm writing you a ticket. >Saiyans: No. What can you do any ways? >Piccolo: I am the ONLY Namek besides Nail to ever make it to the >Super Namek level. >Saiyan 1: Ooohhh. Mike: (as Saiyans) Ooohhh, you're *that* Piccolo, our mistake. >Piccolo: I suggest you listen and go back to following Vegeta's orders >or you will pay. >Saiyan Elite: We don't follow Vegeta anymore. >Piccolo: Than you shall die. Piccolo powers to Super Namek, and kills >Saiyan 1. Crow: So he killed them because they *weren't* following Vegeta? >He just makes it with Saiyan 2, and has a hard time with the Saiyan >Elite, but kills him. Crow: The end. Mike: Okay, that's it, I'm outta here. > Crow: Wait, that IS the end?! Mike: Who cares, let's go. Crow: H-hey! [All exit theater] Mike: I think SonicFan has a protege... Tom: Hey, where's Crow? Mike: I'm not sure... but I have a feeling that a 'bot, most likely Crow, is going to come in wearing saiyan armor... Of course it is just a theory. (A crash is heard offscreen, and Crow walks in, wearing the blue and white Saiyan armor) Mike: Crow, what are you DOING? Crow: Oh, hi Mike, I'm powering up to Super Saiyan Level 6! Tom: You can't power up, Crow! You're not even a Saiyan! Crow: Sure I am! Well, part Saiyan, anyway. Mike: What part? Crow: My tail. Mike: Crow, you don't have a tail! Crow: I know! I lost it in battle. Now, where was I? [The Mad Light goes off] Mike: Uh, hold on Crow, the Mads are calling... Crow: I am Prince of the Saiyans! I wait for no one! [Deep 13] Dr. F: So, what did you think, boobies? Did that sufficently break your spirits? [SoL] [Crow is screaming a la Dragonball Z, attempting to power up, Tom and Gypsy are running around, panicking] Mike: I don't know, sirs, I kind of found the abrupt ending relieving. It was almost like the author apologized for the story by deciding to stop in the middle. Crow: Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! [Deep 13] Dr. F: (Disgusted) Aw, too nice for you, eh? Maybe I should sent some tapes of the Dragon Ball Z dub up there! Hehe, it's so bad, it'll send you to another dimension... Push the button, Frank. Frank? Frank: In a minute, Clay, just let me finish my game of DBZ Legends, and I'll.. Dr. F: FRANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Frank: Just a second. Dr. F: FRANK!!!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!! [Frank pushes the button, and everything fades to black] Frank: I'm getting a strange feeling... [Credits play, with Crow yelling in the background a la Goku] ---------------------------------- This is my first MiSTing, hopefully the first of many...
