Chapter 3: The Resurrection

Goku slowly gets up onto his feet. His head is tilted down as he wipes the tears from his eyes. He breathes in and looks up. The rain has stopped and the clouds are moving. The sun starts to peek through the clouds...

Goku: Grandma... I will be strong. I will get the Dragon Ball and wish you back!

Goku wipes the tears from his eyes and starts running towards Satan City, back home. As he runs he starts to think back to the time he got the Dragon Ball...

*** Memory (all from the GT Special) ***

Pan's on a hospital bed with Goku by her side...

Pan: Be strong Goku...

A pain rips through her heart and she faints.


Now outside the room...

Goku: Is grandma going to die?


Back home in the dark on a rainy night... Goku sees a picture of a young Pan and Gill.

Goku: Dragon Ball...


Outside a convenient store, a fat dark skinned kid in a red shirt and brown vest sits as Goku walks up.

Goku: Pakku... What are you doing here?

Pakku: I want to be there when the monsters of Mount Paozu eat you.


The image of a blue skinned, orange hair, female demon holding a large knife is flashed.


Now at night, Goku and Pakku are crossing a rickety old rope bridge...

Goku: I'm scared!!!

Goku hangs onto the side.

Pakku: Goku!

The ropes snap and Pakku falls into the dark ravine....

Pakku: Gokuuuuuu!!!!

Goku is swung to the side of the ravine and lands on a ledge.


Flashes of the other demons of Mount Paozu occur... A bluish frog-like demon, a giant rooster demon, and a giant purple pig that can change his arms into various things.


Now during sunset, Goku rides a bear and finds his Grandpa Goku's old house.


The Dragon Ball is brought out and Goku prays to it. Grandpa Goku appears, then a police flyer comes carrying Pan and Pakku. Goku looks back and Grandpa Goku is gone...

*** End of Memory ***

Now Goku is running down the streets of Satan City, and Pakku is up ahead.

Pakku: Goku! What's going on? Did you see the lights?

Goku: Pakku... Grandma's... I'm going to get the Dragon Ball, everything will be ok again...

Pakku: Goku, what happened?

Goku: I'll tell you later, I have to get the Dragon Ball.

Goku keeps running.

Pakku: Hey Goku! Wait up!

And he chases.

Arriving at Goku's home, he runs in and quickly goes for the drawer housing the Dragon Ball. He peers inside and finds that the 4 star ball is glowing quite brightly... He takes it out, and walks into the backyard where he puts it on the ground. Goku starts to pray to it...

Goku: Please... Make grandma better again...

Voice: I keep telling you, you need all seven Dragon Balls first. Cha, was I this forgetful too?

Goku turns around and finds Goku Sr. standing behind him. Then, Pakku runs into the backyard and stops at the sight of Goku Sr.

Pakku: Who's that?

Goku: Grandpa Goku!

Goku Sr: Goku... I'm sorry.

Goku: Grandpa?

Goku Sr: A great danger is coming to here... and all because of mistakes I've made. You and your friends are just not ready yet...

Goku: Ready for what?

Goku Sr: For what's coming... Long ago the power of the Dragon Balls were sealed because we abused them...

Goku and Pakku look puzzled.

Goku Sr: I'm going to resurrect the Dragon Balls now.

Goku: I can wish Grandma Pan back then!

Goku Sr: You can... But will you be able to?

The glowing 4 star ball starts floating in mid-air...

Goku Sr: I'm going to have to scatter the Dragon Balls now. You must find all seven to get your wish.

Goku: But how?

Goku Sr: Oh yea... Go find the Dragon Radar. It will help you detect the Dragon Balls. Capsule Corp should know where he is.

Goku: Where he is?

Goku Sr: I've got to go now Goku. Find him, and have courage my grandson...

Goku Sr floats up with the 4 star ball and they fly off leaving a trail of light behind...

Goku: Grandpa? Wait! Don't leave!
