Episode 55: Alive, but not Well

Pan and Xevo have finally found the "village" the old Saiyan told them about. The village was actually a town, not as highly developed like Tsufurukan City, but it wasn't far behind. The inhabitants looked like humans, but also had animalistic features like pointy ears, yellowish skin, cat-like eyes and a tail. They were like a fusion between a human and a jaguar, both without the spots and without the very sharp senses. They wore regular clothes and seemed very peaceful, despite their animalistic appearance. After hearing Pan's and Xevo's story, they admitted that indeed they were looking after a purple-skinned man who was dying. The townsmen immediately took the kids to the dying person, and after seeing who it was, the kids were not only were happy, but also freaked out. At last, Kibitoshin has been also found, alive, but not well at all; he was literally nothing but skin and bones and at the edge of certain death.
-What happened to him?-Xevo asked.
-We found him about a month ago lying on the ground, unconscious, in a forrest nearby.-one of the townsman answered-Since then, he hasn't woken up at all, and as you can see, he's slowly dying.
-But what's causing his slow death?
-We believe he was accidentally bitten by a Korioid, a very dangerous bug, the size of an adult palm. It's poison paralyzed him as the bug laid its eggs inside of his body. Before crawling out, it left enough poison inside of his system for the eggs to have time to hatch. The larvas are also very poisonous and keep him paralyzed until they slowly undergo complete metamorphosis as they little by little devour him from the inside.
-How horrible!
-Oh, my gosh!-Pan shouted-So those things that are crawling and sticking out from underneath his skin are larvas?
-Yes, they are.-the townsman answered.
-But why don't you just cut them out?!-Xevo asked rather furious.
-It's not that easy. At the slightest sense of danger, the larvas immediately release more poison that would kill him. We even tried laser surgery, but to no prevail. Not on him of course; quite a few of our kind have also perished, thanks to these bugs. They are widely spread in the forests nearby and often venture in the town, that's why we keep the shield up and running, most of the time. Of course, they're rather the least of our worries, as there are even greater treats on this planet.
-Papa was wrong about this planet...-Pan started-This planet is not like Heaven, it's very much like Hell.-then a tear began flowing from her eyes.
-No!-Xevo shouted-We can't just give up on him! We have to try! Isn't there any other way to save him, to kill the larvas from inside?
-I'm afraid there's not enough time for that...-another townsman responded-All we could do is to feed him somehow, in order to prolong his life. It won't be long now until the larvas fully develop, becoming bugs, as they come out and kill him.
-Please, tell us!
-Not only it's already too late, but it's very dangerous too, almost impossible. And even if you do manage to get a hold of a drop of venom somehow, by now it will surely kill him cause he's to weaken.
-Venom?
-Yes. In order to kill the poisonous larvas in his system, you need another kind of poison from a very big snake.
-How big?
-VERY BIG; About 60 meters long. It is the largest snake on this planet, and it also has two heads.
-Do you mean the 60-meter-long anaconda?!-Pan shouted amazed.
-I see you've seen it by now.
-And how do you know it would work?-Xevo asked.
-The giant anacondas have been terrorizing us since we got on this planet. In order to protect ourselves and be prepared for any of their attack, we had to study their behaviour, reproducing, how they hunt...Once we even managed to get a sample of venom from one of their dead preys, they haven't eaten, and found out they are not as poisonous as they should be. Even we had snakes on our planet, but they were only a few feet tall, and compared to their venom, these anacondas' venom should be 100 times stronger, but they're not. The only logical explanation would be that they evolved to be so big, that they relied on their venom less, since now they can easily kill any prey they want, so it hasn't become so much effective during the years.
-You guys keep saying these animals actually evolved from themselves!-Pan cut in madly-They haven't evolved on their own, they only would have IF 200 million earth years have passed; it was that stupid dragon, Shepo, who made them that way.-Xevo looked amazed at her, especially the townsmen.
-Anyway...the townsman continued-One drop of their venom, in normal conditions, meaning if your friend weren't already so weakened, would be enough to kill the parasites and cure him. But as I said, it's too late and too dangerous to procure the venom from the snakes. Don't you think we would have tried by now?
-Maybe it's dangerous for you guys, but for us, it will be a lot easier. As you could see, we can fly, and we also have unimaginable super strength that will be more than enough to take down one lousy snake. Well, at least one of us has...
-You haven't told us yet, what proof do you have, that one drop of a venom would cure him?-Xevo asked.
-Actually, we do have proof that it works. Meet my daughter, Leana!-and a middle-aged, beautiful, female doctor stood out from the crowd-She is the best doctor this town has, and it's she who came up with the "one-drop-venom" idea. Shortly after, she also has been bitten by a bug. It was then, when we thought to try out the venom sample, we procured earlier, on her, and it worked. With that small venom sample, we healed several others as well, but I repeat, they were given shortly after they were bitten and when their health was at maximum.
-So, all we really have to do is to find an anaconda in time, get a drop of venom, come back here and hope that Xaras will come soon as well, so we could give Kibitoshin the venom while Xaras cures him.-Xevo said.
-You mean that creature can cure others?-the townsman asked amazed-If only we knew, we would have sent someone to find him and bring him here by now.
-Don't worry. You had enough worries keeping your race alive. We are grateful that you kept our friend alive this long too. Now, will you tell us where do these anacondas usually hang out? The one we met was very far away from here. From what you said, there are some around this place as well. Can you at least point us to the right direction?
-Actually, we can do more than point you there; in fact, we can show you exactly were they are. We may have not been able to bring any of them down, since our weapons aren't efficient enough, as we could only scare them away, we did, however, managed to put tracking devices on them. Here, take my watch! This will help you find one with ease. If there's a slightest chance to save your friend's life, then it will be our pleasure to help out.
-Thank you, very much!-Xevo said, while putting the watch on his wrist.
-We'll be back as soon as possible.-Pan added-Please keep Kibitoshin alive until then!
-We will do our best.-the townsman replied-Good luck, kids! May Xas and Hiera be with you!
Will Pan and Xevo somehow manage to procure the poisonous cure for Kibitoshin in time? Or are they headed to their doom? Find out on the next thrilling episodes of Dragon Ball F!

Episode 54: Convince Me and You Shall Have Her!

Satan City, at the fast-food where Marron was working...We see Marron, Goten, Kawai, Bra and Khitan hanging out and talking about various things. Marron had a 15-minute break, so she decided to spend it with her friends.
-I sure wish that Pan and Xevo were here too.-Bra started.
-Are you kidding?-Marron asked-While we're sitting here, they're having the adventure of their lives.
-Don't remind me.-Khitan added-I should be there right now, instead of them.
-Yes, but then I would have to kill you for leaving me alone like that.-Bra added madly.
-But we weren't even seeing each other then.
-So, are you guys a couple now?-Goten asked.
-Well, not really...
-What do you mean NOT REALLY?!-Bra asked furious.
-Well, we never kissed or anything.
-That should be private!!!
-How cute, their first fight as a couple.-Kawai added while Goten and Maron were laughing.
-Hey, boy!-a familiar voice shouted from behind them, who was none other than Vegeta, who pointed at Khitan.
-Who, me?-Khitan asked amazed.
-Yes, you. Come with me! I would like to have a word with you.
-Dad, what are you up to?-Bra asked wondered.
-Don't worry, Bra. We're just gonna have a man-to-man talk, that's all.
-That should be interesting.-Goten added with a smirk.
-Coming, Khitan?-Vegeta asked.
-Yes, sir.-so he and Vegeta flew away.
-Just don't hurt him, dad!-Bra yelled, which made Khitan even more worried.
Vegeta and Khitan flew away from the city, and landed in a forrest nearby.
-So, what was it that you wanted to talk about, Vegeta?-Khitan asked, but as a response, he received a punch in his stomach-AUCH! Now why did you do that for?
-It's Mr. Vegeta to you, boy!-Vegeta responded-Now, attack me with all of your strength!
-What?!
-You heard me! I want you to attack me with all your power. Don't you dare hold back on me, or I WILL kill you.
-But...but why?
-You like my daughter, don't you?
-Yea, so?
-So, in order to receive my blessing, you will have to convince me that you are worthy of her, that you are strong enough to protect her if she's ever in danger.
-It's not like we're getting married or anything. Besides, she might be even stronger than me, if she learned how to control her strength.
-Yes, she might, but unfortunately, she's not interested in training and fighting, so it will be your duty to protect her at all cost.
-But we barely started dating each other...
-Yea, but something tells me it will last very long. Now, attack me before I do!
-Fine, but no going super.
-Actually, that is exactly how you'll have to defeat me; defeat me in my second Super Saiyan form and my daughter is all yours.
-Are you kidding me?! I'm not that strong!
-Tell you what. If you can hit me at least ten times, then I'll give you some more time to train. And in the meantime, you can also continue dating Bra. How does that sound?
-I guess that's reasonable.
-Shall we start then?
-Let's get this over with!-so he powered up and an amazing white aura surrounded him, as his muscles grew ticker, while Vegeta also transformed into a SSJ2.
While Pan and Xevo are on an important mission to find Kibitoshin and save his and many others' life, Khitan is also on an "important" mission to convince Vegeta that he deserves his daughter. Will he succeed? Find out on the next exciting episodes of Dragon Ball F!

Episode 53: The Megasaiyan

On Earth, Chi-Chi visited Bulma, who was sitting on the balcony, looking worried up in the sky:
-Hello there, Bulma!-Chi-chi greeted her-Why the long face?
-I haven't heard from the boys since they left. I'm really starting to worry about them, that they might be in a terrible danger.
-Don't worry, Bulma! I'm sure they'll be fine. Trunks and Gohan are definitely the brains in our family. I'm sure they will find a way to take care of whatever Goku failed to.
-Aren't you worried at all?
-I pretty much have gotten used to not to worry whenever something like this comes up; they always find trouble and leave me alone. They just can't stay away from danger; or danger away from them.-they both laughed.
-I never imagined that one day you'd be the one comforting me for a change.
-Either way, it's Pan whom I really worry about. She always rushes into things without thinking first, just like Goku. Luckily, Xevo seems to be the opposite of her, so hopefully he'll keep her out of trouble.
-Do you think those two will have a future together?
-It's hard to tell at their age, especially with teenagers these days. Who knows what things are going on their head? I had enough trouble with Gohan when he was only a kid. Luckily, he matured by the age of 8. Although, that might be due to the fact that he had quite a traumatizing childhood, and after Goku died for good, he just became more serious.
-Yeah, Gohan definitely had a though childhood; I mean he was given the task to save the world when he was only five. Trunks and Goten had it rough too, fighting Boo and all, but not that rough. Luckily, Pan, Marron, Khitan, Bra...They had a more peaceful life; up until recently anyway.
-Speaking of Khitan and Bra...I heard that they started to hang out together a lot lately.
-Yea, that's true. Khitan seems like a nice boy, don't you think?
-Yeah, but what did Vegeta say about him?
-Nothing, actually. That guy is ALWAYS too busy training. Like Goku, that's the only thing he ever thinks of. I never should have built him that heavy outfit in the first place. Sometimes I wonder, if he ever thinks and cares about us anymore.
But little did Bulma know, that Vegeta was not training as she thought he would be. He was actually heading to the city, on a secret "mission." On Planet Gogeta, we see a figure hiding in a dark cave. He slowly walks out of it, revealing his identity: it was none other than It, alive and well. It was looking around, trying to remember everything that has happened to it up until know. It had flashbacks, when in another life time, it had a whole different body and much lesser strength, thus it was killed by a creature who called himself Lord Frieza. It then remembers standing in front of a giant desk, where a pink skinned, black-bearded ogre was sitting. The thing remembers the ogre saying that it will be sentenced to spend all eternity in Hell, but he will also take It's mutated form away and transform it back to its original form, a tree looking thing, sealed away in total darkness for eternity, where it could never hurt anyone again. It seemed that It spent an eternity there, but it has only been about 40 years, as it was also revived along with every victim of Frieza's and Co. Gohan thought that all of Frieza's victims were innocent and deserved a second chance, but Frieza destroyed evil forces as well, other than himself, and this monstrosity was by far the strongest and most dangerous of them all.
It also remembered suddenly finding itself on a new planet, noticing it was somehow alive again. The thing immediately chooses its ground and takes root, making spiky poisonous bushes stretching miles away. All It had to do was to wait for its victims to wonder nearby, and at the right opportunity, take them down. It didn't take long, for It's first preys to come along. Hundreds of animals fell victims to It's poisonous bushes, but those were only for its appetite, as It was really searching and lurking for any beings that had ki energies, for it to steal, in the end, forming a great and strong warrior. Months passed by, it trapped over one hundred different species, but their ki energies were very small, so it could only gather a very small fraction of that it desired. And It desired a lot more, in order to become the ultimate warrior. But after five months of being unsuccessful, It finally found two very strong warriors, or rather the warriors found it, who were flying by, unaware of the danger they were in. The two warriors had black spiky hairs and monkey looking tales, but their power level was unbelievably formidable.
-Whaaah! After all this time, I still haven't gotten used to have a tail again.-Goku shouted.
-I wouldn't recommend cutting it down. You might lose a big amount of strength, if you did.-Bardock responded.
-Nah, don't worry. Luckily, I won't have to worry seeing a full moon on Earth anymore, since Piccolo destroyed it many years ago.
Suddenly, they noticed that many small flying spikes were heading they're way at an incredible speed, as if someone or something threw them on purpose. They couldn't dodge them, so they raised a ki barrier, but to their amaze, the spikes went trough them like butter. It hadn't been long until they started hallucinating things. Bardock started seeing his home planet, which Frieza destroyed years ago, while Goku saw his grandpa Gohan alive again. They soon paralyzed and fall into It's tentacles, it making an amnion around them and hang them on the branches of the "tree." Unfortunately, for It, the ki absorption process was very slow, and it would take more than a month, but it wasn't in any hurry. However, after a month, another two very strong warriors were headed Its way, none other than Trunks and Gohan. Although, they managed to sense It's big power level and the evil within it, they too have fallen like their predecessors.
It was more than happy to find not just one, but four very strong warriors to absorb their energy. And yet, another one appeared shortly after the last ones, as if It hit the jackpot or something. But soon, someone would disturb It's plans, and actually started to ruin them. It never faced someone, which had no power level what so ever and could be such a treat to it. The tentacles alone weren't enough for him, so It had no choice then to wake up, and personally take care of the threat. But It didn't realise that it never had a tremendous power like that before, and it also had a different form than its previous one, so it had a lot to get used to. And it was also overwhelmed by another person, a Saiyan girl, who almost even destroyed it.
After remembering all this, It raised its right hand, made a black energy ball and began to smile:
-I am now a Megasaiyan.-it started-I will destroy every living and non-living thing in the Universe. I am the Omega, the end of everything. After I'm finished destroying the Universe, I shall kill myself too, thus existence will seize to exist anymore. That is the only way to stop the battle between Good and Evil once and for all. This battle is forever pointless anyway, cause none shall ever really win, and there are only casualties. This will all have to end soon; that will be true freedom.
This time, our heroes will have to face something they have never faced before. It is nor Good, nor Evil, but the End itself. Don't you dare miss the next exciting episode of Dragon Ball F, when we find out what Vegeta is really up to!
