Chapter 10: Fortune Found

Back at West City... A group of people hide behind some rubble...

Vegeta's Mom: Are the charges set?

Man: Yes ma'am!

Vegeta's Mom: Then let's blow them all to hell!!!

A huge explosion takes place nearby silencing the area... Then Vegeta's mom emerges from hiding...

Vegeta's Mom: HAHAHAHA!! No one can stand against the power of...

Then, a Saibaman (I'm pretty sure most have figured this part out. lol) emerges from the smoke and jumps at Vegeta's Mom, but a blast from the other guy's rifle takes it quickly.

Vegeta's Mom: Whew, thanks.

Man: You've got to be more careful Madame President...

Vegeta's Mom: Oh I could have took it down myself... Hey... I thought the bomb took them all out...

Another man, who's sitting on the ground with a radar device speaks...

Other Man: We did. But more keep coming. We better get out of here.

Vegeta's Mom: Damnit... Retreat!

As the others pack up and start to run... Vegeta's Mom looks towards the sky...

Vegeta's Mom: I hope they're all right...

Meanwhile, back at the ship...

Vegeta: Where are we?

Pakku: Looks like we're over some desert...

Vegeta: Duh! I mean "where" are we?

Pakku: How should I know?

Jeri: Stop it you two.

Gill: Dragon Ball ahead! Dragon Ball ahead!

Goku: You mean over there?

Pakku: What do you see Goku?

Goku: An oasis... And some sort of building...

Vegeta: Then that's where we're going.

They land the ship nearby, and are quickly greeted by a white ghost in a hat...

Ghost: Uranai Baba has been expected you... Come this way.

Pakku: A... g...ghost?

Jeri: Who's Uranai Baba?

Ghost: Come and you will see.

Vegeta: Why should we?

Ghost: Are you not here for the Dragon Ball?

Goku: We are. Take us to Uranai Baba.

So, they follow the ghost through the gates, and they stop by the fighting platform surrounded by water...

Ghost: Wait here.

The ghost then goes into a building further ahead... Soon after, a little old woman in black witch's clothes floats out, sitting on her crystal ball.

Uranai Baba: I am Uranai Baba, the fortune teller. And you must be Goku, Vegeta, Jeri, and Pakku...

Jeri: Wow... You really a psychic?

Uranai Baba: The best there is.

Goku: We've come for the Dragon Ball...

Uranai Baba: Yes I know... My fee is 1,000,000 zennies.

Vegeta: What? We have to pay you to get the Dragon Ball?

Uranai Baba: I've got to pay the bills.

Vegeta: We didn't bring that much with us! We didn't have the time...

Goku: Is there any other way?

Uranai Baba: Well... You can always entertain me by defeating my 5 warriors...

Vegeta: That's it?

Uranai Baba: You will face them one on one. Each warrior will be stronger than the last...

Vegeta: Let's not waste time. Bring out your strongest warrior! I'll beat him myself then we can leave.

Uranai Baba: You young ones are so impatient... All right... The strongest warrior I have... You won't be able to beat him...

Vegeta: I don't think so.

Uranai Baba digs into her sleeve and pulls out the Seven Star Dragon Ball and show it to them.

Vegeta: Our prize...

Uranai Baba: No, your opponent.

Vegeta: What?

Uranai Baba drops the Dragon Ball into the ring and it bounces a couple of times to the center... There, it starts to glow and in a flash of blinding light, it is replaced with a green man in a white cape and turban, floating in midair meditating with his eyes closed...

Goku: A Namek?

Jeri: Whoa... He can float too...

Uranai Baba: Meet Piccolo. You want to face the strongest warrior I have, well there you have it.

Piccolo: Hmph. I was not sent here to fight for you.

Uranai Baba: What? Goku said...

Piccolo: In dire situations.

Uranai Baba: Then why are you here?

Piccolo: I wouldn't even have come here if I didn't sense him approaching...

Uranai Baba: Him?

Gill: Danger approaching! Danger!

Suddenly, the ground starts to shake rattling them all, except for Piccolo, who remains motionless, keeping his eyes closed...

Uranai Baba: My house!

Walls start to crumble and a big brown mole-like creature with big claws emerges from within the ground.

Pakku: What... What is that?

Piccolo: Chii Shinlon (Seven Star Dragon).

Chii Shinlon yawns and scratches his head. He sees Piccolo.

Chii Shinlon: Hey... Weren't you killed a hundred years ago?

Piccolo: I could say the same about you.

Chii Shinlon: Oh well, hand over the Dragon Balls.

Piccolo: I don't think so.

Piccolo opens his eyes sending a force sending Chii Shinlon flying out of Uranai Baba's place...

Piccolo: Hmph... Why don't you kids take care of him...

Goku: Us?

Uranai Baba: Are you crazy? They'll be killed!

Piccolo: And I thought you were supposed to be a fortune teller...

Uranai Baba: A fortune teller, not god... I can't see everything...

Piccolo: Are you kids still here? Go!

Vegeta: Ready?

Goku & Jeri: Ready!

Pakku: Ehhh... I'll stay back here with Gill to hold the fort!

Goku: Right. Later!

The three kids run out Uranai Baba's gates to find Chii Shinlon slowing standing up...
