Dende's First Job!! Revive the Dragon Balls

We see Kame House. Gohan, "How are you?" Roshi, "Oh, good to have you here." Gohan walks in, followed by Kuririn, with Chichi bringing up the rear. Chichi stands in the door with her hands on her hips and her eyes shut. "Goku-san had to leave on his way here. What's the matter?" Gohan sits down at the table, and Kuririn joins him. Television, "Everyone, I am your king. As you have seen, our army was totally wiped out by Cell. It's all my fault. I'm so sorry, but there was nothing else we could do, and to be frank, we really don't know what to do. Please do not panic. Maybe we will have a savior, like the young man who beat Piccolo Daimaou." Yamucha, Gohan, and Kuririn stare silently at the television screen. The dog leader stands up. "Let us pray to god." Kuririn, "Even if we pray, god does not exist anymore."

Kaiousama gapes at Goku. "I see. The Artificial Human, Cell, is indeed very powerful. But in your world, terrible things like this happen all the time." Goku nods. "Yes. I want to find a Namekseijin to become Kamisama to bring the Dragon Balls back to life." Kaiou nods. "Can you help me to find where the new Namekseijin planet is?" Kaiou, "Ah... I see. Let me try." He turns his back to Goku. His antennae bounce around, and he hums as he searches. Bubbles jumps about excitedly. Goku, "I just wish you can do that. Mr. Popo-san is very lonely without Kamisama." Goku crosses his arms behind his head. "Right. How can he live in the Shrine by himself..." Kaiou spins around. "You're too noisy! Shut up, don't distract me!" Kaiou goes back to searching, and lighting suddenly shoots out. He screams. He says something (unsubbed), and Goku and Bubbles anime fall. Gregory flies by overhead. Goku, "Please concentrate." Kaiou laughs. "Sorry, sorry." He goes back to searching. "I've found it. This time, it's right in this direction." He points toward the new Nameksei. "Really? Thank you." Goku runs up in front of Kaiousama, stares off in that direction, and begins searching for the ki of a Namekseijin. "Good, this way. Though it's far away, if I know the direction... I can feel their ki." Kaiou, "Unbelievable! That's Shunkan Idou? When did you learn that marvelous technique? I know. Shunkan Idou is the ultimate trick of Yardratto. You must have learned from them." He jumps around, watching Goku from different angles. "I see. This is definitely convenient." Goku stops and turns around. "Quiet down." Kaiou laughs. "Don't be upset." Goku begins searching again. Finally... "Bingo, this is the ki. It must be a Namekseijin's ki. Thank you, Kaiousama." He vanishes. Kaiou and Bubbles gasp.

The Namekseijin go about their daily work by the river and in the field. Suddenly, Son Goku materializes on the planet. The nearby Namekseijin gasp and turn to him. Namekseijin, "What?" Goku's eyes go wide. "There are many Piccolos!" Saichorou walks up to Goku. Namekseijin, "Saichorou-sama!" Saichorou, "Who are you?" Goku rubs his head. "My name is Son Goku. I'm from the Earth." Saichorou yells out in surprise. "You're Son Goku, who saved us when you fought with Freezer on Nameksei?" Goku laughs. "But Nameksei has exploded." Saichorou, "Looks like something bad has happened on the Earth." Goku, "You know about Cell, too?" Some other Namekseijin join Saichorou across from Goku. Saichorou, "Not the details, but a stream of evil ki has come this way." Goku, "That saves me a lot of effort. In fact, I'm here to find the right person to be Kamisama, to bring the Dragon Balls back to life, to resurrect the people killed by Cell. In fact, Piccolo is from Nameksei, too." Saichorou, "Piccolo? The son of Katatsu!" Goku, "As long as there is one person who can be Kamisama, he can help me." The Namekseijin look at each other and speak among themselves. "The Earth..." Saichorou, "I see. I have the right person for you." Goku, "Really?" Saichorou looks back, and the crowd splits apart so as not to block his view. At the back is a small Namekseijin child. "Hey, Dende!" Dende stares back at him in surprise. "Come." Dende, "Right!" He runs up to Saichorou. "This is Dende. He's a good friend of Gohan and Kuririn-san." Goku looks down at him. "He misses the Earth a lot. He always wants to meet Gohan and the others again." Goku, "That's great, but he has to know how to make the Dragon Balls." Saichorou, "No problem. Dende is an outstanding member of the Dragon Race. He will certainly be a good Kamisama." Goku, "Good." He reaches down and shakes Dende's hand. "Dende, good to have you." Dende, "Yes, same to you." They break their grip, then Goku straightens up and offers his hand again. "Let's go." Dende gasps. Goku laughs. Goku speaks to the gathering of Namekseijin. "Thank you. I will do my best to take care of Dende." Dende, "Goodbye, everyone." Saichorou, "Dende, take care. You must work hard. Goku-san, we wish the Earth peace." Goku, "Thank you." He grabs Dende and they vanish. The Namekseijin gasp and crowd around the now empty spot.

Bubbles jumps up and down, hooting. Kaiou gasps when Goku reappears with a small Namekseijin child. "Kaiousama, everything went smoothly. He's the Earth's new Kamisama. Goodbye." They vanish again. They reappear in front of Piccolo, Popo, and Trunks at the top of God's Shrine. "I went to the new Nameksei." Piccolo's eyes bulge. "De...Dende?" Popo smiles happily. "He's the new Kamisama?" Goku, "Yes." Piccolo, "Is Dende really good enough to be the new Kamisama?" Dende looks down at the floor silently. Goku, "No problem. Wait a minute. I'll bring Kuririn and Gohan right away." He raises his fingers to his forehead once again.

Gohan, Kuririn, and Yamucha sit around the table in Kame House, still watching TV. "Our audience, we have good news. A martial arts master, Satan, has decided to take part in Cell's Game."
A huge crowd cheers. A large man with dark hair, black clothing, and a white cape walks out onto a balcony. A reporter, dwarfed by the enormous man, stands in front of him. He turns around. "The superhero, Satan!" The crowd cheers his name. Satan lifts his arms over his head and howls. Crowd, "Sa-ta-n! Sa-ta-n! Sa-ta-n!" Muten Roshi and Chichi walk into the room. Yamucha, Kuririn, and Gohan continue to watch television with disinterest. Roshi, "Who is he?" Yamucha, "Champion of the Tenkaichi Budokai." Reporter, "Are you alright, Mr. Satan? Cell managed to wipe out the whole army." Mr. Satan laughs and wags his finger. "That was just a trick. He set up some explosives beforehand. I could tell it was a trick right away. He didn't know anything about martial arts. That's kind of nuts. I'm sure I can beat him!" Cheers rise up. "My friends on the Earth, please do not worry!" Crowd, "Sa-ta-n! Sa-ta-n! Sa-ta-n!" Yamucha sips from a cup. Kuririn watches the TV, bored. "He's such a fool."

Suddenly, Goku appears behind them. They all gasp and turn around. Chichi walks up to him. "Goku-san, where were you?" She grabs his shirt. "Leaving us behind like that!" Goku, "Chichi, wait a minute... Kuririn, Gohan. Come with me." The view switches to above Kame House. "I've brought with me the new Kamisama. You know Dende, don't you? That Namekseijin..." Gohan, "Dende?" Kuririn, "Eh?"

Goku, Kuririn, and Gohan appear at God's Shrine. Dende's eyes light up. "Gohan-san! Kuririn-san!" Kuririn, "It's him! It's really Dende!" Gohan laughs. Dende stares at them, wide-eyed. Kuririn, "It's been a long time. Dende, good to have you here." Gohan, "You've really become the new Kamisama?" Dende, "Yeah." Kuririn, "Right, you were already great at that time." Gohan, "From now on, we can meet every day!" They all laugh. Piccolo, "Besides, Dende. You're really able to make the Dragon Balls, right?" Goku, "No problem. The old man of Nameksei also said that Dende is an outstanding Dragon Race member." Gohan, "Old man?" Dende, "Saichorou-sama!" Goku smiles. "Yes, Saichorou-sama. Saichorou-sama can't be wrong." Dende turns to face Goku, Piccolo, Trunks, and Popo. "It takes 100 days to make Dragon Balls." Goku, "One hundred days? So long?" Piccolo, "Hmm..." Everyone ponders for a moment. Dende, "Right! If we have a model of the Dragon Balls' dragon that you had in the past, I can bring them back to life right away." Goku, "Really?" Piccolo, "Those Dragon Balls have become stones and have scattered around the Earth already." Popo, "Here's the model of the Dragon which is made." Kuririn, "Yes, everything is ready!" Gohan, "Great!" Kuririn, "Is it like when we were on Nameksei, and we had three wishes?" Dende, "Yes." Piccolo, "Can it be like in the past? We can bring back the lives of many people just by one wish? For example, to bring back all the people Cell killed?" Dende, "If you make it clear at the very beginning, it's possible. But then you'll only have two wishes." Gohan, "Will that do?" Dende, "Yes." Piccolo, "Alright, let's start." Dende, "Yes. Where's the model of the Dragon?" Piccolo, "Mr. Popo, bring the model." Popo, "Yes."

Popo hands Dende the model of Shenron. "This is the model that Mr. Popo made." Dende, "An interesting dragon. Alright, let me try." Gohan, "Dende, please do it!" Dende, "Right." He holds his hands out over the model and begins speaking in the Namekseijin language. "Mr. Popo" and "Porunga" are just about the only clearly discernible words. His hands begin to glow as he speaks. Golden "ribbons" of light swirl about around the model. Everyone else watches in silence. An explosion of golden light flows out of the model. It looks as though Shenron has been summoned, but at the point where Shenron would normally turn from light to dragon, the light splits into seven streams and flies off in different directions. One travels through a canyon. It lands and turns from stone to a Dragon Ball. Another lands on a tropical beach and turns into a Dragon Ball. A crab crawls past it. Another beam of light flies over a dark forest. It lands at the foot of a mountain.

Dende turns to the group behind him. "I think the Dragon Balls, which had become stones, have been resurrected." Gohan, "Marvelous!" Piccolo, "Amazing. He has such a great potential." Goku, "Great, I'll borrow the Dragon Radar from Bulma to find the Dragon Balls." Piccolo, "Thank you, Goku." Goku, "Gohan, you don't need anymore special training. Have a good time with Dende." Gohan, "But..." Goku, "It's alright. Don't worry." Trunks, "Ah, Goku-san. Can I ask you a question?" Goku stops. "What is it?" Trunks, "You're so relaxed. You must have found Cell's weakness. Right?" Goku, "No. Does he have weaknesses?" Trunks is dumbfounded by Goku's response. Goku, "I'm going." Trunks holds his hand out to stop Goku, but Goku is already gone.

Bulma works on Number 16's head at the Capsule Corporation headquarters. Dr. Briefs gasps when Goku appears. Bulma, "Son-kun! The structure of the Artificial Humans is very advanced. Though Dr. Gero is a wicked person, you must admit he's a genius, too." Goku, "Can you lend me the Dragon Radar? I've brought back a new Kamisama from Nameksei." Bulma, "Fabulous. The radar is in the drawer." Goku, "Thank you." He opens the drawer and pulls out the Dragon Radar. He activates it and immediately gets a signal. "It's still working fine. It can tell me exactly where the Dragon Balls are. Please let me borrow it." Bulma, "Wait a minute! I just want to ask how Trunks is..." But Goku is already gone.

Goku flies over a desert and lands, looking around from the Dragon Ball. "Around here." He jumps down to a lower level of the desert and searches. He pulls out the Dragon Radar and hits the little button on top several times to bring up better images of the Dragon Ball's location. "Good, here. This place is huge." He scratches his head.

Trunks, "Gohan-san, do you know what this is all about? Goku-san said clearly that he's weaker than Cell. Then why is he so relaxed?" Gohan, "Father hasn't told me why, either. He just told me to look forward to it." Trunks, "Look forward?" Kuririn, "But if he said look forward, it must be something good." Piccolo, "Maybe it's only the beginning."

Goku falls on his back in the sand. The radar continues to beep. "It must be around here." A breeze blows clouds of sand about. "Hmm?" He looks up and sees a car driving by. Driver, "Hey, there's sandstorms here! Be careful!" He drives away. Goku stands up. "Right, sandstorms made the Dragon Ball sink to the bottom. Thank you!" He waves to the departing driver. "Alright." He jumps into the air. He begins throwing the sand up into a giant cyclone. The driver screams as it catches up to his car. "What is it?! A tornado? Help!" He loses his hat.

Goku drops down to the new crater. In the middle of the crater lies the Dragon Ball he is searching for. It's mostly covered by sand, but the edge of it gleams in the sunlight. He jumps down and grabs it. "I got it! They've really become Dragon Balls again!"

Vegeta stands alone in the Room of Spirit and Time, concentrating on his strength. Gohan, Kuririn, and Dende sit outside on God's Shrine. Piccolo, Popo, and Trunks all stare off silently, waiting for Goku to return with the Dragon Balls and Vegeta to finish with the Room.

Son Goku stands among a herd of elephants. He closes his eyes, reaches down, and grabs the Dragon Ball. Just as he does, an elephant steps on his hand. He screams in pain. The elephant continues walking, and Goku holds up the Dragon Ball. He stares down at it happily and blows the dust off. "The second one."

Meanwhile, Cell stands alone in the middle of his stage, awaiting the beginning of Cell's Game... He looks up. "I'm bored to death. Ten days is way too long."
