Chapter 18: Goku's Setup

The entire gang is now gathered on Kami's Palace... Goku, Vegeta, Krillen, Gohan, Pan, Trunks, Goten, Piccolo, Goku Jr, Vegeta Jr, Jeri, Pakku, Gill, Dende, Nail, Kappa, and Mr. Popo...

Goku: Now that that's over with... Let's give you kids the final test before your ultimate battle...

Vegeta Jr: Test?

Jeri: Ultimate battle? What ultimate battle?

Goku: Because of an unnatural threat to Earth... I decided that we should handle it for you. But the one who orchestrated this threat.. You guys should be able to handle him now after all you've seen and done.

Goku Jr: Us?

Vegeta Jr: Beat their boss? You've got to be kidding...

Goku: Hehe... Don't worry. You guys can handle him, I'm sure of it. Well now... You guys ready?

Jeri: Ready? For what?

Goku: The test! The test! Keep up will ya?

Goku Jr: So what exactly is this test?

Goku: A fight of course. But on your own... We won't be helping you in any way.

Goku Jr: On our own?

Vegeta Jr: Let's do it.

Goku: Wonderful! I'll be right back.

Goku teleports out.

Vegeta Jr: Hehe... I wonder who we'll have to face...

Inside the alien ship...

Minion: Seika-sama! The dragons... They've all been killed...

Seika: What!? That's impossible... What is going on down there?

Another Minion: Also... The saibamen are not faring well... Some of the humans are better armed than we thought...

Seika: Damn them... Taking Earth was supposed to be easy...

Goku: You'll never succeed in your evil plans...

Seika: Who... Who are you? How did you get here?

Goku: I'm Son Goku. And I teleported in here.

Seika: Guards!

Seika stands up and motions the others to get Goku. But Goku just holds one hand out, and the others are all reflected back by a shield once they got too close... He then looks at Seika and a force pushes her back onto her seat.

Seika: What... What do you want?

Goku: You're pretty strong right? In your mind, only second to him...

Seika: What of it?

Goku: He'll be here soon... But we aren't quite ready yet. I need you to give them the experience of a real battle.

Seika: Me? Do I have a choice?

Goku: You can always leave Earth.

Seika: Abandon my mission and face certain death... Or die here by your hands... Not much of a choice...

Goku: Oh I'm not going to fight. You are going to face the chosen protectors of Earth... There won't be any interference from the rest of us.

Seika: No interference... Is that a promise?

Goku: Then you agree to fight?

Seika: I don't really have a choice do I?

Goku: Great...

Goku crouches and puts his hand on the floor, his other hand places two fingers on his forehead... Then, he stands right back up.

Goku: Wait here... I'll be right back.

Goku disappears.

Seika: Bastard...

Minion: Seika-sama! We're no longer in Earth's orbit!

Seika: What!? Then where are we?

Minion: On... Earth.

The ship now lies in the middle of some rocky terrain...

Seika: Hmph... Open the hatch!

Minion: Yes Seika-sama!

The hatch to the roof opens and Seika floats up to the outside... She stands on top of the ship and waits... Moments later, the entire gang appears on a nearby plateau. They notice each other and stare for a while...

Goku Jr: Is that who we're supposed to fight?

Vegeta Jr: She's just a girl...

Jeri: Hey!

Goku: You guys should be able to handle her... But don't underestimate her.

Vegeta Jr: Yea yea yea... Let's get this over with...

Seika: You're making me fight brats?

Vegeta Jr: You're going down!

The three kids fly right at Seika while she stares at them fearlessly...
