Episode 75: Farwell, Ox-King!

    We see Marron sitting on a giant cliff which was surrounded by the waste ocean. Whenever she wanted to be alone, this was her favourite spot to be, where she could relax and think things trough in her head. She looked really sad; she was so deep in thoughts, she didn't even realize her mother floating next to her:

-So, how long you gonna stay mad at him?-Number 18 asked her.
-I guess a few weeks should be enough.
-Sounds fair enough. Although, you can't blame him for having the right to fall in love.
-Yea, but why should I be the one to hold a mark to his past relationship?
-Life is full with crazy things. Get used to it!
-Speaking of crazy things...What would you say if I liked a black person?-at which 18 remained speechless.


    Back at the Kame House, Krillin was still trying hard to calm Marron down, who was still crying like a baby; her tears had literally wet the floor. Just then, Oolong and the others arrived home:

-Hey, we're back!-Oolong shouted.
-Uh, something sure smells good; I'm fanished.-Master Roshi added, when, all of a sudden, he saw the woman of his dreams, reappearing in his life
-Is that who I think it is?-he asked not believing his eyes.
-It's Maron, she's back.-Ooling answered, at which Master Roshi immediately rushed towards her:
-Krillin, what have you done to this beautiful lady to make her cry like this?-at which Maron suddenly swooped into his arms, surprising both Roshi and Krillin.
-Oh, Master Roshi!-she cried-It's terrible! It's just terrible! I've wasted my whole life in trying to find the right guy for me, and after realizing that it was Krillin all along, I find out not only that he's married, of which I'm frankly surprised, but he doesn't even love me anymore. Tell me, wise master, what should I ever do with my life now?
-Oh, you, poor, poor girl. I wish there was a way I could cheer you up. Why, I would bring down the moon from the sky and give it to you, if we had one.
-You're so romantic...-then all of a sudden, something caught her eye; letting Master Roshi go, she walked towards a desk, where she saw an old photo of someone and picked it up-Who is this handsome guy?-and when Roshi approached her and saw of whom she was referring to, he could hardly wait to tell her:
-Actually, that handsome guy is me...or at least was me many years ago.
-Really? I can't believe how good-looking you were. I wish we would have met in another lifetime, like back then; I think we would be long married by now and already have both kids and grand kids. I believe we would have been really happy together. Too bad...-then she sadly put the photo back on the desk; although Master Roshi wasn't sure he'd be willing to ever have kids, but the idea of having the chance to bang her was beyond tempting.
-So, are you saying that if I were that young again, you would go out with me?
-Go out with you? Why, I would marry you. But sadly, it's just impossible. And not only that you have to become young again, but also remove your immortality so we could grow old together. But wait, you must be about 20 in that picture if not younger, while I'm already 50. This will never work out.-then she began crying again.
-No, wait! Do you remember when I once told you about the Dragon Balls?-when, all of a sudden, Maron cheered up again.
-You're right! We can ask the Eternal Dragon to wish us together. That would be wonderful. Do you have them here?
-No, but give me four months until I gather them and until they're reactivated, and then we'll have our wish, baby; imagine, you and me, together, I can hardly wait.
-Me too. Okay then, four months it is. Wait until my parents hear about this; they'll be so happy that I have finally found my soul mate. See you in four months! Bye!-then she hurried outside into a speeder boat and drove away.
-Wait! Don't I get a good-bye kiss?-Master Roshi whined but she was long gone-Oh well, I will get much more next time when we meet. I just hope Goku and the others will lend me the balls for my wishes. After all I've done for them, they'd better...Oolong, will you come with me?
-Why not? There's nothing better to do here anyway. What about you, 17?
-Don't think so. Might as well go call that woman to settle a date with her. It would be more satisfying than hanging out with you losers. See ya!-then he took off and flew away.
-Well, I never...
-Uhm, thanks Master Roshi for taking care of Maron for me.-Krillin said relieved-Just be nice to her and please treat her well.
-Oh, I'll "treat" her well, don't you worry about that.-Roshi responded, while he imagined doing all kinds of perverted stuff with her.
-Oh, boy...-Krillin sighed.


    On Planet Gogeta, Goku had some real catching up to do with his grandpa, especially his mother. But he noticed that his wife started having a worried look on her face, as if something was troubling her:

-Chi-Chi, is there something wrong with the food?-Goku asked her.
-No, Goku. I just have a very bad feeling about papa.I think something's wrong with him. Sorry for ruining your great reunion, but will you please take me to him?
-Of course, Chi-Chi. You guys coming?-Goku asked the others.
-You bet.-his grandpa Gohan responded-I haven't seen the great Ox-King for like...forever. Honey, will you come with us?-he asked Taanipu.
-Sorry, but I really think I should stay out of this one. I don't quite feel like being a family member yet, so you should just go without me.
-Nonsense, mom.-Goku replied-We really don't mind having you around and we would be really happy if you would come with us.
-No chance of convincing me otherwise, son. Your father should have told you at least that I'm very hardheaded; whatever I decide, it stays that way no matter what. Take care, everyone, and come back soon.-after that she stood up from the table and flew away.
-Ok, you guys, grab hold!-Goku said, and after that he teleported everyone back to Earth.

    They appeared inside Ox-King's castle and saw him laying in bed; he appeared to be sleeping. However, he was very pale and seemed more skinny than usual.

-Papa, are you asleep?-Chi-Chi asked worried, when, all of a sudden, a maiden appeared out of nowhere, and after seeing Chi-Chi, she immediately rushed towards her with a scared look on her face:
-Princess Chi-Chi...Thank goodness, you're here. It's your father, the king; he's very ill and I'm afraid he's going to pass away soon.
-Oh no!!!-Chi-Chi cried out in tears and as she grabbed a hold of his left hand, which was cold as ice-No, papa, don't leave me! Please, don't die! Wake up! Do you hear me?! WAKE UP!!!
-Chi-Chi...-Ox-King started slowly-My loving daughter...you've come to say goodbye from me. Now I can rest in peace...
-No, you can't! I won't let you!
-I'm very old and my time has come. You know very well that this has to happen.
-But I don't want you to leave just yet... -Soon, we shall see each other again in the Other World. Until then, you'll have your loving family by your side.-then he looked at Goku-Please don't ever leave her side again until your time comes too, Goku.
-Don't worry, Ox-King; I promise I will never leave her again until death tear us apart.-Goku responded sadly, then Ox-King looked at his grandson:
-Gohan, tell your brother goodbye from me.
-I will, grandpa.-Gohan replied with tears.
-Oh, my gosh.-Ox-King shouted-It's happening. I'm passing to the Other World. I can already see your Grandpa Gohan standing next to you, Goku.
-But I am here, old friend.-Grandpa Gohan said.
-I can hear him too...
-No, he's really here, papa.-Chi-Chi explained still in tears.
-Really? Now this is quite a turn of events. My dear old friend...How is it that you're here?
-I've been wished back from mistake, actually. My place isn't quite here, but...
-I see...You've come to replace me. How fortunate...
-I'm really sorry to already see you pass away like this before having the chance to catch up...
-Yes, I see you too, muffin.
-Gohan, whom are you talking to?
-I can hardly wait to be reunited with you too, my love...-Ox-King said looking towards someone unseen by the others, but only himself.
-Papa, what's wrong?-Chi-Chi asked him really scared.
-Don't worry, Chi-Chi. You will see her too one day...Then we will all be a happy family...together once more...
-Papa, who are you talking about?
-I'm coming, honey!Ox-King shouted towards the nothingness-Farwell, everyone!-his last words were, until he closed his eyes forever with a peaceful, happy smile on his face.
-NOOOOO!!!-Chi-Chi cried as loud as she could, her voice echoing through the entire castle; all the maidens who heard her voice knew that their beloved king passed away, and they all started to pray for his soul and cry in silence. -Dont cry, Chi-Chi!-Goku comforted her-He's in a better place now. You'll see him again one day; all of us will.
-Whom do you think he was talking to right before he d...passed away?-Gohan wondered.
-I...I think he was talking with m...my mother.-Chi-Chi managed to respond in tears.


    As we leave our heroes mourning over their loss, we see a space pod landing on a deserted planet, somewhere in the galaxy, on a large island. A very tall muscular person with two horns steps out of it; the person was none other than King Cold himself. He found out that his son had failed once again to defeat the Saiyans, so King Cold decided to go into exile, rather than face the same faith as his son. But he did have a scheme up his sleeve. Suddenly, he noticed that he wasn't alone on the island, when he heard the bushes next to him moving:

-Who goes there?-he asked a bit startled.
-Well, well, look who we have here?-a familiar voice said from behind a tall tree, and as he stepped out to the light, he revealed himself to be Bojack-A deserter coward who abandoned New Namek only to save his skin.
-Look who's talking? -I knew your son would screw things up again; it's in his blood to be a screw up. And with his demise, Cell would also fall, and the rest of the bunch after them.
-Well, that makes two of us. I also had a feeling that my son would fail once again to destroy those blasted Saiyans. He just had to take them head on, instead of blowing them all up along with the planet. That's the second time he failed and he surely won't get a third chance, not from me anyway.
-So, why are you here?
-Same like you, to hide like a coward until a good opportunity comes along...
-Yea right...Well, you should know this planet has very little life forms and the food is barely enough for the five of us, so I recommend you leave now, before I make you to.
-Don't be silly. I'm not you enemy, THEY are, those Saiyan monkeys and I am merely here to offer you a proposal.
-What could you possibly have to offer me?
-A way to have your revenge, of course.
-Yea right...
-You said that there were five of you here? Then, I'm guessing your henchmen are also here, is that correct?
-So what of it?
-Babidi needs five strong warriors to help him to resurrect himself from the dead, and...
-You have put you faith on a small lizard who can't even defend himself using his puny magic? How low can you get? I'm out of here and you also better get going cause the next time I see you, I will kill you and eat you with the rest of the crew.-then Bojack turned around and started walking away.
-Babidi alone may be weak, but after finding his father in Hell, and fusing with him, I believe he will be able to do more things with his magic than we could ever imagine.-while Bojack suddenly stopped.
-And then what?
-Babidi promised me before being revived, that he would increase his loyal servants' strength and make them more powerful beyond their limits. Then, we will finally get rid of those Super Monkeys and rule the Universe.
-I am nobody's servant...
-You can kill Babidi afterwards, who cares? Just imagine the power we will possess after he awakens our dormant powers; we will be invincible.
-And what is your role in all this?
-I just needed to find the right guinea...I mean, the right persons for the job. After finding out that you and your henchmen also fled New Namek, I started searching for you guys. Coincidentally, you also took the same pods in which Xaras' henchmen landed on that planet. So I followed the signal of the pods to this place. Very wise choice indeed; no one would ever think looking us here. So, are you in?
-Why not? Things can't get anymore suckier than now. But none the less, you will have to leave this planet and come back AFTER Babidi has found his father. You know, very little food...
-Very well then. I shall search for another suitable planet close-by and when the time comes, I will announce you. Until then, try not to die or anything.-then King Cold went back into his space pod and left the planet.
-I don't trust that guy, and nor that wizard...-Bojack thought-And after making me stronger, I will dispose of.both of them, or three, whatever.

    It seems that a new wicked plot is being formed against our heroes. Can Bibidi's and Babidi's magic be strong enough to break free from Hell and defeat the Z-Fighters? Find out on the next exciting episodes of Dragon Ball F!
