MOVIE 3: THE ULTIMATE DECISIVE BATTLE FOR EARTH
(CHIKYUU MARUGOTO CHOU KESSEN)
Released: 7 July 1990

A silver space pod with some odd antennas on the back soars threw space at a high rate of speed. We see, in space, the planet Earth from afar.

A shallow stream rushes forward as small fish swim. Suddenly, a bucket, held by a human hand, drop into the water. Kuririn, bucket in hand, walks over to Bulma and Oolong at their campsite by the stream. Oolong blows on a fire under a pot, apparently trying to get it going more. He coughs and falls back, and Kuririn and Bulma laugh. We see Oolong's face, and his nose is now charred and black. He's got a quizzical look on his face. He wipes it away with his arm, but only succeeds in spreading the ash in a dark streak across the middle of his face.

"Hmm?" Oolong turns around, and Gohan appears, in his safari clothes, with a giant pack on his back.

Everyone: "Huh?"

Oolong, "Gohan, what kinda get up is that?"

"Mom said I should dress properly for this trip!"

"Well, you look prepared. That's a nice outfit, but it's a little much."

Bulma, "Uh, Gohan...that's a big knapsack. What have you got in there?"

"Well, Mom packed lots of things to keep me busy." He begins emptying the pack, naming off different things. Too much to put here, anyway. As he names things off, everyone just looks on in amazement.

That night in the forest, we see a small light streak across the sky. If it weren't moving, it wouldn't have been discernible from the stars around it. Up close, we see the pod as the heat from the friction with Earth's atmosphere creates a half-sphere of fire around the pod. It lands, and as is common with space pods, creates a giant explosion, although suprisingly, the impact crater is rather small. Smoke rises up above the trees.

We see the landing site now (it had landed behind trees), and a fallen tree catches fire. Soon, the whole forest has gone up, and a bright glow can be seen. Kuririn is awakened by the crackling sound that a burning object tends to make. He gets out of the tent. "Huh? Fire!" Bulma rushes out of her tent, screaming. We see a few different shots of burning trees as our camping Z Senshi run out of their tents. Birds and animals run wildly, having no idea what to do.

Bulma, "The fire's getting closer! Let's get outta here!" Oolong runs back and forth, frantic. Gohan and Kuririn decide to try putting out the fire, and they both scream briefly as they power up, before throwing some ki-wind blasts. Animals run, and a dragon is caught under a log. Another log almost falls on its head, and would have definitely killed it, but at the last second, Gohan catches it and throws it. He picks up the other log, and the dragon flies away.

The forest is ruined. It's left as nothing more than a smoking, charred wasteland. Bulma, "Hmm... that was scary. I was afraid we weren't gonna make it."

Oolong, "We're safe."

Gohan, "But the animals don't have a home anymore. It's so sad." Kuririn suddenly gets an idea. They borrow Bulma's Dragon Radar, and run off to collect the Dragon Balls.

A capsule ship flies off over the land, and we see different scenes with Gohan, Kuririn, Tenshinhan, and Chaouzu collecting the Dragon Balls. Kuririn flies through a canyon, Gohan walks through a field, from a dinosaur, on a cliff, and down the side of an erupting volcano. Ten and Chaouzu run up to him, waving their arms. Finally, we see Tenshinhan, Chaouzu, and Kuririn standing with the Dragon Balls, a setting sun in the background, as Gohan runs up to them with the last one.

Back in the forest, Gohan, Kuririn, Oolong, and Bulma summon Shenlon, as the forest animals look on, obviously terrified. The small purple dragon that Gohan had saved, whom he's named Haiya Dragon, flies off to (presumably) attack Shenlon. Gohan catches him as Shenlon's ever-moving tail flies right by. Gohan explains that Shenlon's good, and Oolong comments on how frightening Shenlon is.

Shenlon growls and speaks. "What is your wish? You may ask for anything you want, but I will grant you only one wish." Gohan asks him to restore the forest, and suddenly, the trees are alive again, with drops of water running down the leaves. Everyone looks around. "Your wish has been granted, and so I bid you farewell." Shenlon leaves and the Dragon Balls fly off in different directions.

It's a sunny morning in the forest, and Gohan sits in the sky with Haiya Dragon. Elsewhere in the forest, the space pod grows legs and walks off, stopping in a clearing briefly, then continuing on. A larger ship tears through space, and an alien with a scar and a scouter on his face looks on. He bears a resemblance to Zarbon, but there are many noticeable differences (he's not green, for one). "Ah, look. There is life on Earth, Master Tales."

An unseen voice speaks. "But how can that be? Kakarotto is on that planet." From a different view, we see that the alien and a small group standing around him are looking at Earth. "I would have thought he would have destroyed Earth by now, but obviously, he has not." A list of readings show up on the viewscreen, which still displays Earth in the background.

The first alien speaks. "Mmhmm? Ah, yes. The Earth is perfect! Perfect for growing the tree of might, Master Tales."

On Earth, we see the sun, rising high into the sky, between different rock formations. Fire licks at the bottom of a metal barrel. Chichi, "Is that warm enough for you, Goku?"

"No, heat it up a bit more! Ok?" Gohan decides to see who can hold their breath longest, and they both duck underwater. Chichi laughs. Something approaches from behind, and Chichi turns around, prepared to fight whatever's coming up behind her. She screams for Goku and reaches into the water to pull him out. She inadvertently begins tickling Gohan.

He loses his breath and comes up. "I lost..." He looks over and greets Haiya Dragon. Chichi's hysterical, and Gohan tells her that this is the new friend he had been telling her about.

"THIS is your new friend?" Goku finally surfaces.

Next, we see Haiya Dragon, asleep outside the Son family home, and we hear Chichi lecture Gohan from inside. She blames Goku's friends, and Goku tells her to calm down. She says Gohan can't play anymore unless he works on his studies, and he says he'll study more. He asks if Haiya Dragon can stay, and she says no. Chichi leaves the room.

Gohan's trying to get Haiya Dragon to go, but he won't leave. Goku whispers to Gohan, and Gohan and Haiya Dragon follow Goku. They reach a nearby cave, where Goku's apparently set up a small home for Haiya Dragon. Haiya Dragon and Gohan are both very obviously happy, now that the dragon can stay.

The sound of an airline engine and a bright white light fills the screen. An aircar flies overhead. Yamucha, "So, how do you like the new ship, Puar?" Puar likes it, and Yamucha explains that it required a 15-year loan.

"I'm surprised they trusted you!"

"Well, I've got a lot of fans ever since the Tenkaichi Budokai. Just wait until they see me show up in this!" Yamucha's expression suddenly becomes serious.

"Yamucha?"

"Hmm...something's going on..."

Piccolo looks up. "Most peculiar, I feel an evil force nearby."

The same alien from the space ship stands on a cliff and, with his fingers, creates a ki blast that splits the Earth. The explosion comes up right under Yamucha's ship, and he's thrown off. The ship explodes nearby as Yamucha and Puar scream. A giant crevasse now sits in front of them, and another alien speaks. "I'll plant the seed here!" With that, he flips a seed into the crevasse.

A short, purple alien speaks. "I hope it will bear fruit quickly!"

Gohan and Haiya Dragon play fetch with a small stick. Gohan then washes Haiya Dragon in a river. Next, we see them resting together in a field. Goku's voice yells to them through the forest. "Gohan! It's time for dinner!" Haiya Dragon goes into his cave for a minute, then comes back out. A seed sprouts in the crevasse, and giant roots shoot out, obliterating the land and all that stand in the way. A small sprout breaches the soil.

On Kaiosama's planet, Bubbles and Gregory run around in the background. "Hmm?"

We look down on the Earth from space, and Tales speaks. "I never would have guessed that the Earth would be the place where we grow the tree of might. It's perfect, and all because Kakarotto has left it untouched. The fool..." The tree of might continues growing, destroying any obstacles. The forest animals run off in fear, and the tree rises quickly. It's beyond large. The word "enormous" would be a glaring understatement. The roots tear through a city, and the Public Alert alarms go off as terrified civilians scream and run for their lives.

A single child with a red balloon stands among the destruction. "Mama?" We see Haiya Dragon, alone, staring at this giant tree.

Back at Mount Paozu, Goku puts down a mug with his name on it, holding coffee. "Boy, that's too bad."

Yamucha, "Yeah, and a 15 year loan, too." All the Z Senshi are at Goku's house as we get a view of the table. Even Ten and Chaouzu are present. Chichi gives Yamucha another cup of coffee, and he thanks her.

Bulma throws a fit. "You had to get the expensive ship, didn't you?!" They argue for a while, and Tenshinhan and Chaouzu look at each other.

Kamesennin laughs. "Sorry about the trouble, Chichi." Chichi says it's no trouble, and all that matters to her is that Gohan gets his studies finished.

Yamucha, "Well, you know I can read. Perhaps I can help Gohan out with his studies!"

Chichi smiles, then turns serious. "I don't want him to turn out like you." Everyone has a good laugh over that.

Haiya Dragon knocks on the window. Gohan, "Oh! Haiya Dragon!" Chichi gets angry seeing him there. Goku defends Gohan, and Chichi's even more angry. Gohan walks out and asks Haiya Dragon why he didn't stay in his cave. Haiya Dragon's trying to say something, but Gohan doesn't know what. Chichi tells him to hurry up, and Gohan tries to get Haiya Dragon to go back to his cave. The dragon refuses though, and Gohan turns serious. Haiya Dragon, obviously saddened, flies off.

Kaiosama, "Goku..."

"Kaiosama, is that you?"

"A terrible thing has happened, Goku."

"What are you saying?"

"A wicked tree called the tree of might has taken root on the planet Earth."

"The tree of might?" We see a picture of the tree.

"That's right. It's a tree that is grown to bear fruit for the gods. But once it has taken root, it drains all the nutrients from the ground to produce this fruit. And by doing this, it causes all plant life to whither and die, turning the planet into a wasteland, and the planet will remain barren for hundreds of years, before a single plant will be able to grow again." We see the Earth from outerspace, the tree reaching out into space.

"That means Earth will be..."

"Yes, and I'm afraid it might be too late. The tree of might has already grown and soon it will bear fruit, and that is when the real trouble will begin for all the people of the Earth." Gohan walks back into the house.

"There's gotta be something we can do!"

"I'm sorry, Goku. I'm afraid this is the end for planet Earth."

"No, Kaiosama, it's not over!"

We see a green fruit hanging from a branch of the tree. One of Tales' minions speaks. "In no time, the fruit will be ripe."

Another, "And it's full of all the energy drained from planet Earth! And when we eat it, we'll become more powerful than ever."

A purple alien speaks. "And with all of our powers united, no one will stop us! We will have no equal."

The other purple alien, "Even Freeza can't stop us. With Master Tales as our leader, we can take whatever we want."

A cyborg alien, "Thanks to the fruit from the tree of might, all our plans will be realized."

Tales steps out of the ship, now parked inside a hollow in the tree. "No, that's not where your thanks belong. You should thank that fool, Kakarotto. Personally." We find out another little detail about our friend Tales, now - he's got a tail. Tales is a Saiya-jin.

We look again, on the green fruit. Bulma, "You mean all the trees are gonna whither away?"

Yamucha, "All the water will dry up, too?" We see everyone gathered around the table again.

Goku, "I'm afraid so."

Oolong, "Well, either way, we're in trouble, right? Cuz once it's taken root, it's too late!"

Goku stands up. "No! Listen, it's never too late! Let's combine our power and destroy it!" Everyone agrees, but Chichi says Gohan can't go.

The Z Senshi reach the tree and look upon it. They all power up and throw ki blasts at the tree, to no effect. Kuririn wants to try again, but Yamucha tells him it's impossible. Goku flies up the side of the tree, and the others follow. They stop at a ledge, and Tales' minions greet them. They tell the Z Senshi to give up, because they'll never destroy the tree. Ten senses that they're strong, and decides they should be careful. Goku asks why they came, and the minions tell them they should leave. Everyone has their line.

Gohan comes to the cave to find it empty. He's sad, and things Haiya Dragon got mad because he told him to go back to the mountains. Haiya Dragon nudges him from behind. Gohan's happy to see him, and they fly off together, Gohan riding on the dragon's back. It's a staring contest for a minute, and everyone vanishes except Goku. Goku suddenly disappears, too. First up, the two purple aliens vs. Ten and Chaouzu.

The two Z Senshi throw ki blasts, but the aliens fly through and knock both Z Senshi to the ground. Finally, we get some names. The two purple aliens are Rezun and Lakasei. (just to let you know, they're exactly the same in every way, so I'll simply use the names interchangeably, because you never know which one it is). "Great minds think alike!" and they pose back to back.

Now we see Ten. "TAIYO-KEN!" Rezun and Lakasei are blinded by the light.

Kuririn goes up against another alien, and creates a Kienzan. He throws it at the alien, who spins around and throws a disc of his own. Each disc narrowly misses the target.

Yamucha uses Souki-dan on the cyborg-like alien, but the alien flies out of the blast and they fight in midair for a moment. Yamucha vanishes and the cyborg suddenly jets up, coming up above Yamucha. He hits Yamucha, throwing him into the ground. The cyborg is suddenly hit by a Kamehameha and is thrown into the ground. Goku, "Yamucha!" Another alien appears behind Goku. He throws a ki blast, and Goku throws one of his own, which swallows up the ki blast and manages to engulf the alien, too. A second blast that he threw did the same to the cyborg.

Rezun throws a ton of ki blasts at a fleeing Chaouzu. "You can't get away from me!" He throws a huge blast at a now unconscious Chaouzu, but it's deflected by an even larger blue blast. "Who is that?"

Gohan, "Don't destroy the forest, IT'S FOR THE ANIMALS!"

Rezun, "Another kid! I'm not a baby-sitter!" Gohan flips in toward Rezun, throwing a Masenkou. Rezun's enveloped in light.

In the ship, Tales is watching the fight on his viewscreen, and he looks at Gohan's stats. He realizes that Gohan is a Saiya-jin.

Rezun flies back up toward Gohan. "Boy, I'm going to make you wish you never ran into me!" Gohan throws a tremendous ki blast, and the entire area nearby goes white. Haiya Dragon is thrown like a rag doll. Needless to say, Rezun's blast was deflected. When the light returns to normal, Gohan's gone.

Rezun can't find him, but suddenly, Gohan screams. "I'm right behind you!" He comes in from behind, smashing Rezun. Rezun falls to the ground. Gohan's looking for Haiya Dragon, when suddenly he runs into someone. He looks up to see the spitting image of Son Goku...except he's wearing a scouter, Saiya-jin armor, still has a tail, and has slightly different skin color. He thinks, "Daddy?"

Tales, "Well, hello. So you're the son of Kakarotto, huh?"

"Hey, you're not my daddy!"

Tales picks him up by the collar. "You think I resemble Kakarotto? Of course, we are both lower class warriors, and there's only a few types like us." He looks at Gohan's power reading, which reads 10,000.

"Who...are you?"

"I'm a Saiya-jin."

"Huh? A Saiya-jin?"

"That's right, I'm Tales."

"Tales?"

"How'd you like to come with me, kid? You and I could travel through space and destroy some planets. Whaddya say? It'll be fun. I'll teach you how to be a real Saiya-jin warrior."

"I'll never go with you!" He throws a punch, but Tales easily catches it.

"That's no way for a fellow Saiya-jin to act. You know, we're the survivors, and it'd be such a shame if we didn't become good friends. So be a good boy!" He pushes back Gohan's fist, and we see some roots from the tree rise up as he continues. "The days are numbered for this planet. Soon, it'll be nothing more than a desert. You'd be better off to come with me. Unless...maybe you want to die here?" Gohan screams as he tightens his grip.

His scouter suddenly goes off. "What is this? It has a power level of 18,000." He lowers Gohan, but doesn't let go. "Who is it?" We see some feet, wearing brown moccasin-like shoes, purple pants, and a white cape as Piccolo is lowered a bit. Tales, "Who the hell are you?"

"Ah, Mr. Piccolo!"

"Put the boy down now."

"What if I refuse?"

"Then you die." He lunges at Tales, screaming. Tales throws Gohan at Piccolo and then comes in behind them and hits Piccolo in the back with a ki blast, sending them into the ground.

Tales stands over Gohan, telling him to act like a Saiya-jin. Gohan's tail finally shows itself, and Tales creates a moon ball thing. "Hey kid, you know what this is? It's the moon." He throws it, and causes it to explode at an appropriate height. He holds Gohan's head up to face it, and Gohan turns Oozaru. Tales then destroys the "moon" to keep himself from turning Oozaru, saying that "it'll take a little longer for the effects to wear off" on Gohan.

Goku races toward Gohan. The cyborg and another alien jump up beside Goku on either side, and hit him with ki blasts. As the blasts clear, we see Goku, shielding himself and completely unfazed. He flies straight up between them and dispatches them with a double Kamehameha, hitting one with a blast from each hand. Goku lands in front of Gohan, whose foot stomps down right beside him. Goku looks up and tries to talk to Gohan. He employs Kaio-ken when Gohan decides not to listen. Goku races away, dodging hits, but finally does get hit. Piccolo files in, telling him to cut off the tail, but Piccolo gets hit by Gohan.

Goku and Gohan are thrown down into a pit, with a lake at the bottom. Gohan rises out of the water, taking Goku in hand. He squeezes his grip, and Goku screams. Haiya Dragon reappears, flying around in front of Gohan. Gohan puts down Goku and lays down with Haiya Dragon, holding him. Tales is amazed. "What's this? How can this happen when he has the blood of a Saiya-jin? How can he feel pity for such a pathetic animal?"

Goku yells at him. "Hey, listen! Gohan and I are not Saiya-jin! We're Earthlings!"

"Hmph, really? Is that so?" He throws a ki blast at Haiya Dragon, and Gohan gets pissed once again. He flips out, throwing ki from his mouth and waving his fists. He sets his eyes on Tales and leaps at him. "If you think you can beat me, you're wrong!" Gohan lands on the wall and grabs at it. "Of course, now I understand. I should have known the son of Kakarotto would turn against me just like his father did." He creates a ring-shaped ki attack and throws it at Gohan. Goku throws a blue Kienzan, cutting off Gohan's tail. Gohan falls through the center of the ring as he returns to normal size. Goku runs out and catches him, and vows to do his best to save his son. He glares at Tales, who smiles at him.

At an amusement park, the roots of the tree suddenly appear, and then the entire city goes dark. Planet Earth is brown and barren, and the fruit is ripe. Goku and Tales stare at each other. "Kakarotto, you are a disgrace to all Saiya-jin."

"My name is not Kakarotto. It's Goku!"

Tales' henchmen return. First, the one that bears a resemblance to Zarbon. "Master Tales. Let us take care of this weakling." We see Kuririn fall to the ground, unconscious.

Rezun, "You're friends weren't BAD fighters..."

Lakasei, "...but they were no match for us!" Tenshinhan and Chaouzu drop to the ground in similar fashion. as the two purple aliens move in on either side in front of Zarbon 2.

A fourth alien appears in front of them. "Are you as weak as your friends?" The cyborg rises between the fourth alien and the purple aliens.

"Well, why don't you find out for yourself?"

The Zarbon look-a-like with the scar speaks. "You dare to challenge us?" Goku prepares to battle them, and the cyborg and the guy in front of him attack. He knocks them back, and the other three join in as well. They take turns for a moment, jumping back as Goku throws them out, then it goes for a few seconds with Goku against just the three biggest ones. Tales watches nearby.

Piccolo, "Why watch the fight when you can join in?" He attacks Tales, who easily blocks it and throws him off. Piccolo extends his arm to punch, but Tales dodges. He flies in, hitting Piccolo with his shoulder. As Piccolo falls back, he throws a Makkankousappo. Tales easily blocks it with a single hand, and Piccolo's amazed. With the hand still extended, he hits Piccolo with a ki blast that completely engulfs him and lifts him into the air. Goku uses Kaio-ken to power up, then knocks out each fighter with one hit or kick each. Near Tales, Piccolo falls to the ground, while Tales' henchmen fall in a circle around Goku.

Tales commends Goku, saying he's a strong fighter. He demands that Goku kneel before him if he wants forgiveness though, and he'll welcome Goku and Gohan as his comrades. Of course, Goku refuses. He warns Goku not to challenge him, because he knows where to find the fruit from the tree. "The difference between our powers is as different as heaven and Earth."

"Is that your way of saying you don't like to lose?"

We see scenes of forests dying off and turning barren and brown. Fields die, flowers whither away, cities have been laid to waste. Goku says he's glad he didn't turn out like Tales, and says he won't let Tales leave Earth alive. He begins powering up, past 30,000. He gets some hits in on Tales, and Tales dodges some others. Goku chases Tales, but Tales grabs a fruit from the tree. They stop in midair, and Tales eats the fruit. He bulks up and hits Goku before Goku can even react. As Goku falls to the ground, he showers him with ki blasts. He says Goku doesn't have a chance, and this soon-to-be dead planet will be his grave. Goku stands up, uses Kaio-ken x10 and attacks Tales, but Tales dodges easily and actually beats him up, too. "Beg for forgiveness. And if you're lucky, I'll spare your life." They talk for a moment, then Tales blasts Goku with hundreds of ki blasts. "Tsk. Lower-class warrior. You're so pathetic. Look how weak you are! You're not like me. I'll rule the universe with the tree of might!"

Tales rises back up the side of the tree, and Piccolo contacts Goku telepathically. "Goku...the Genki Dama..."

Yamucha, "Use the Genki Dama..."

"Piccolo? Yamucha? I can't fight anymore..."

Kuririn, "Goku, don't forget. I'm here with you."

Chaouzu, "Me too!"

"Kuririn...Chaouzu..."

Tenshinhan, "Goku, I'm here, too."

Gohan, "Daddy!"

"Gohan!" He rolls over and tries to force himself up.

As Tales reaches the opening, he sees the other Z Senshi, injured, but not as badly as Goku. "Oh...you're still alive." He laughs. "Persistent."

Goku stands up and begins forming a Genki Dama. He goes through his whole speech, and finally gets his arms all the way up. Tales looks down. "Hmm? Kakarotto?" Piccolo attacks, and gets beaten back. The other Z Senshi attack together. Each is taken out in one hit. The Earth, or what's left of it, begins donating its power to Goku. The Z Senshi drop.

Goku, "That's it!"

Tales sees the Genki Dama. "Hmm? What's this?"

"Tales! I'll never forgive you! And now...eat this!" He launches the Genki Dama at Tales. Tales throws a ki blast and destroys the Genki Dama. His blast continues on, nearly killing Goku. Tales laughs.

Kuririn explains everything to our slower viewers who don't understand what just happened, then says "Now...we're dead for sure" and passes out.

Tales laughs...again. "I have nothing to fear as long as I have the fruit from the tree of might!" We see shots of the Earth, brown...dead. A waterfall suddenly dries up. A city is still. The Earth is a dead, brown ball in the middle of space. Goku's unconscious. We zoom in on the fruit, then back on Goku.

In Goku's mind, he sees a yellow light. He reaches for it. "Huh? It's so warm... what is it?" A breeze nudges at the leaves of the tree. Goku reaches.

Piccolo, "Go...ku..."

Kuririn, "It's gotta be Goku... I bet he's absorbing the energy from inside the tree of might!" (what is Kuririn doing, anyway? Did the regular narrator call in sick, or what?) Tales finishes another fruit. He looks up at the other fruit in the tree, and they're glowing.

Goku walks toward this light. "It's so warm..."

Tales, "Hmm?"

"TALES!" Goku stands in front of Tales.

"So, Kakarotto... you're still alive?"

"It's over Tales, and I won't forgive you." They stare for a moment at each other. We see the tree, the fruit, then Tales and Goku, all up close. Goku's hand twitches. We see the tree from further back. Tales forms a ki blast and throws it, then Goku suddenly forms another Genki Dama, causing Tales' scouter to explode (these scouters really aren't very durable...). He throws it, pushes back Tales' blast, and it explodes. Goku blocks the blast from himself. The blast runs up through the tree, and Tales screams. The tree explodes, Tales dies, and a golden light that can be seen from Mars engulfs the planet. Everyone and everything gets their energy back, and the tree, its root system, and everything else having to do with it explodes into golden light. The planet is bathed in this light, and all of the animals, people, etc., regain their strength. The planet returns to life. A golden fruit beside Goku explodes into golden light as he reaches for it. Haiya Dragon finds Gohan and wakes him up.

On Kaiosama's planet, Kaio explains to Bubbles and Gregory. "Since the tree of might has been destroyed, it looks as though the Earth might be saved after all! The fruit from the tree of might sucked up most of the Earth's energy, but gave it back to Goku, so that he could create a Genki Dama, thereby restoring life to the entire planet! Since the tree of might has withered and died, and is no longer a threat, and all the power has poured out from the fruit, showering every living thing on the planet with its energy, things will be as they once were." We zoom out from Kaiosama's planet, hovering in heaven over the serpent path, and hell below that.

Flowers return, fish live and swim again, and the brown planet turns blue once more. We see that same stream from the beginning, with the same fish swimming around inside. Kuririn reaches in with his bucket and brings some water to the campsite. Kamesennin and Bulma sit around a fire, and offscreen, although nearby, are the rest of the Z Senshi, including Goku, Gohan, Yamucha, Tenshinhan, Chaouzu, and Oolong and Puar are also there.

Bulma, "You know, I would have never thought I'd be so happy about Goku being hit on his head a s a little baby."

Kamesennin, "Good thing, or else Goku might have ended up flying through space with Tales, looting and pillaging."

Goku, who's sitting near Tenshinhan and Chaouzu at a nearby boiling pot, laughs and looks up. "You should see the size of the scar I got on my head from that fall."

Oolong and Gohan stand elsewhere on either side of Haiya Dragon. Oolong, "Well done, Haiya Dragon! I heard you did quite the job on Tales! I guess you really are a courageous little fella!" Haiya Dragon tries to bite Oolong, and he jumps back, screaming. "Oh no, just like Piccolo! He never drops guard, except around Gohan! And...that's dangerous." Everyone laughs. Piccolo, at his same training spot by the waterfall, looks up. He simply continues his meditation.
