Once Upon a Dragon Ball: Second Section, Episode 18


Last time on Once Upon a Dragon Ball:

-The war started and... ended. Goku and Vegeta are now dead.

-Goten is hysterically sobbing because he lost his 'Tousan once again.


(Scene opens on the battlefield. The UWO and the Free World are still going at it.)

Piccolo: This is getting stupid. (looks at Bra) FINISH THEM!

(Bra just stood there)

Piccolo: I'm talking about you, B-chan.

Bra: Oh! Gomen. (She aims the ray at the big group of the Free World and fires a large Kameya Meya at them. 1% of the power is enough to annihilate them Unfortunately, she gets a lot of the UWO as well.) Oops!

Piccolo: It's okay. You killed the enemy and we still have enough for world conquest.


(Scene opens in the afterlife Vegeta is still complaining and Goku looks ready to smack him. Finally they make it to King Emma's desk.)

Emma: Next! (looks down) Oh. It's you.

Goku: How are ya doing?

Emma: Goku, you die more times than anyone else in history. Go ahead. You know where.

(Goku goes to an up only express elevator labeled "Heaven")

Emma: Okay Vegeta, let me see. (reading a book) Hmmm. Okay... Hmmm.

Vegeta: Will you hurry up already?!

Emma: Calm down! (checks again) I'm sorrry, but if you had not of kicked that dog this morning, you would be eligible for Heaven. NEXT!

(Vegeta grumbles and gets in the down express elevator, Satan greeted him when he arrived...)

Satan: Welcome back! I've been keeping the lava pit nice and ready for you!

Vegeta: (panicking) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

(Scene opens at the Capsule Corp. for some reason. ChiChi is already over when they arrived. Goten is still crying and Pan and Gohan are trying to comfort him. Juuhachi-gou, Krillin, and Yamcha had already went home.)

ChiChi: (running into the front hallway) What's wrong?!

Gohan: 'Kaasan, we have something to tell you. First, come with us to the living room and sit down. (spots Bulma) Bulma-san, you come too.

(ChiChi and Bulma exchange worried glances)

Both: Okay...

In the living room...

Gohan: 'Kaasan, Bulma-san 'Tousan and Vegeta-sama are....

(Goten cries harder. Trunks and Pan start up too. Gohan wipes away a tear.)

ChiChi: (fearing the worst) Yes?

Bulma: (also dreading) What is it, kids?

Gohan: "Tousan and Vegeta-sama are dead! (he starts to sob)

Pan: (wailing) Bra-chan was going to kill "Tousan and Trunks, but they blocked them from the ray's power and they were disintegrated!

(Bulma and ChiChi are in shock at first, then they slowly lose their composure.)

ChiChi: Not again!

Bulma: And we can't use the Dragon Balls on them!

Together: (Lucy Ricardo like wail) WAH!

(Suddenly the t.v. show stops and a urgent news bulletin comes on.)

Announcer: We interrupt All My Brats for the really urgent announcement. (he's snatched away as Piccolo comes onto the screen on a balcony of the White House. {it's being transmitted to every country of the world again.})

Piccolo: Attention people of Chikyuu: Your resistance is futile, in fact I've defeated all of the Free World fighters. A new time has begun! Welcome to... The Piccolo Dynasty!

(The camera moves to the crowd outside.)

Crowd: (chanting) All hail Piccolo! Rightful ruler of this planet, and the stars beyond! All hail Piccolo! Rightful rulerof this planet and the stars beyond!

Bulma: This is not happening!

ChiChi: Oh, but it is!

Piccolo: This is what kind of rule you can expect: I model my rule by the examples set by the Great's Mussolini, Fidel Castro, Sadam Hussein, Boris Yeltsin, and Adolf Hitler! Although I model my rule by them, there are some things that I don't believe in! (everybody audibly sighs) I for one, do not like Hitler's concentration camps, though if you get out of hand, I will NOT heistate to exterminate you. (everyone gasps) This is a new and BETTER way of life! There will be no Communism, Socialism, Republics, or Democracies. Instead it is a new form of Dictatorship I call "Piccolo's New Improved Way of Living"! There also will be only ONE religion! It will follow the ways of the Ancient Egyptions and you will behold me as a god! (he turns and whispers to Bra who is smiling beside him) See? I did do research. (he turns back to the crowd and the mic) GET READY FOR A DIFFERENCE!

(He turns around and goes inside, Bra and his main minions flanking him.)

Crowd: (chanting) All hail Piccolo! All hail Piccolo! All hail Piccolo!

(A banner with a huge picture of Piccolo himself is unfurled behind the podium.)

Back at the Capsule Corp...

Gohan: There goes the world as we know it.

Pan: 'Tousan, is this the end?

Gohan: (holding Pan) No, Panny-chan. This is only the beginning!


What is to become of the world now? Will they get through it? Will Piccolo be overthrown? Stay tuned to the next exciting episode of Once Upon a Dragon Ball!
