"Ugh! How could a home that's so small be so filthy!", Rarity loudly complains as she rinses a a wash cloth into a bucket after wiping it across the floor. The water in the bucket is almost black from dirt and grime that she has cleaned from Goku's small home.
"Well, he has been living by himself for a really long time. Maybe his grandfather never got to teach him how to properly clean house?", Fluttershy suggests as she scrubs the top part of a wall.
"Even so, did he not even learn how to properly bathe!? I'm glad that Goku was willing to take us in, but the stench that follows him is almost unbearable!", the white unicorn continues to gripe.
"Maybe, but we really shouldn't complain. He was willing to take us in, and feed us. He even saved our lives from that... dinosaur is what he called it, right?", Fluttershy reminds her.
Rarity lets out a small sigh. "I know, Fluttershy. This whole situation has me frustrated. I'm just venting."
Rarity and Fluttershy finish cleaning the inside of Goku's home, and dump their filth ridden buckets outside. "Well, that was far more difficult than it should have been. It needed to be done, though.", says Rarity.
It has been two days since Rarity and Fluttershy found themselves in this alternate version of Earth. Having found a friend in the young and fearless Goku, they are doing their best to make due in this unfamiliar setting, and finding ways to pass the time as they think about their primary problem... How do they find the dragon balls, and get themselves home?
They turn around, and look at the orange sphere that has given them some glimmer of hope. "Rarity, I haven't been able to come up with any ideas. Have you?", the meek pegasus asks.
"Well... I've managed to think of something, but I'm not sure if it's going to work, or if it will even be of much use in the grand scheme of things.", Rarity responds. She turns away from the building, and closes her eyes. "For this to work, I need you to hide the dragon ball somewhere in the house. Anywhere will do; as long as I can not see it when I turn around."
"Uh... o-okay.", Fluttershy responds. She walks inside, and looks around; trying to find a good spot to hide the dragon ball. She chooses to simply hide it beneath the small pillow that the ball rests on. "Okay, Rarity."
Rarity draws in a deep breath, and slowly lets it out. Her horn glows brightly for a moment, then she walks back inside, and makes a bee line towards the pillow. She lifts the pillow up with her magic to reveal the four starred ball beneath it.
"I'm sorry, Rarity. Should I have hidden it better?", asks Fluttershy.
"It's quite all right, Fluttershy.", states Rarity. "The object of this exercise wasn't to see how hard it would be to find the ball. It was to see if I could sense the ball with my Gem Finding spell."
The yellow pegasus's eyes light up. "Your Gem Finding spell can pick up the dragon ball?"
Rarity nods. "But in the end, I don't believe it shall be of much use. I can't sense it until I get close, and there is no telling where the rest of them are. If only we had something that could lead us in the right direction. It's a start, at the very least."
Just as Rarity finishes her sentence, the dragon ball glows brightly for a moment, and then returns to normal. The two ponies stare at the ball in silent shock. "R-Rarity... did it just... glow?", Fluttershy asks, almost dumbfounded.
"Y-Yes... Yes it did...", the white unicorn responds. "I wonder why?"
Before they can question the situation any further, they hear a loud crash outside; the sound of crunching metal. The pony pair stare wide eyed at each other for a moment. They look at the door, and then back to each other; unsure as to whether or not they should investigate. Rarity makes a nervous gulp, and then inches towards the door with Fluttershy following closely behind her. The two ease the door open, and look outside to try and find the source of the sound. On top of a hill in the distance, they see a fairly large metal object tipped on its side. They see Goku standing next to it... and he's talking to another person!
"Rarity! There's someone else out there!", excitedly exclaims Fluttershy.
"I see them! Let's go take a look.", suggest Rarity.
The pair leave the small home, and walk towards Goku and the unknown person. By the time they reach them, they had already begun to walk towards them as well. Goku was pulling a fish behind him that was several times his size. The person that was with Goku appeared to be female. She stood a little more than five feet tall, had blue eyes, white skin, and light blue hair that was pulled into a braided pony tail. She wore a pink shirt that came down mid-thigh in its length, and she had a brown belt around her waist; making it appear as though she had on a skirt. Several pouches of varying size and color were attached to the belt, and she wore a brown glove on her right hand.
"Hey there, Rarity and Fluttershy.", greets Goku. "This is Bulma. She's a girl from the city.", he says as he points to the girl. "Bulma, these are my pony friends, Rarity and Fluttershy."
Bulma apprehensively waves at the two. "Um... hi."
"Bulma... That sounds oddly familiar.", thinks Fluttershy. "H-Hello.", she greets in return.
"A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Bulma.", greets Rarity. "Gems... I sense gems...", she thinks to herself.
"Okay! Time to go make something to eat!", Goku shouts as he begins walking towards his home.
Bulma, Rarity, and Fluttershy follow him. Fluttershy looks over to Bulma. "So, Bulma, what brings you out to the mountains?"
"I'm looking for something that I think is out here.", she responds. She reaches into one of her pouches, and pulls out a white device that resembles a large watch. She clicks a button at the top of it, and it makes a steady beeping sound. "Yeah. It's up ahead, actually."
"Oh? Would gems of some kind be what you're looking for?", asks Rarity.
Bulma gives Rarity a look of distrust. "Maybe... why?"
"I have my Gem Finding spell active, and I can sense that you have gems of some kind with you.", she responds.
"Hold on. Goku! You know an animal that can use weird magic, yet earlier you had the nerve to call me a witch!?", she asks with an aggravated tone.
Rarity glares at Bulma. "Excuse me, but I am not an animal! I'll have you know that I am a well refined lady, and a fashionista that specializes in using gems!", she states with pride.
"Please... don't argue...", Fluttershy weakly asks.
"A fashionista? How could you make clothes? You don't even have hands! That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! What's next? You going to tell me that you're from another world, too?", Bulma verbally jabs at Rarity.
"Hey. C'mon, you two shouldn't be fightng.", Goku says.
Rarity and Bulma glare at each other for a moment, then turn their noses up, and look away from each other; each letting out a ,"Hmph!"
They reach their destination, and Goku opens the door to his home. The moment he opens the door, Bulma gasps as she sees the orange sphere in the back of the room. She shoves Goku out of the way, runs up to the ball, and picks it up. "I can't believe my eyes! I managed to find another one!", she says with excitement.
Rarity gasps. "Another one!? That means the gems that I sensed on you were dragon balls!"
Bulma looks at Rarity, dumbfounded. "Wait. Did you just say-" She's cut off by Goku jumping into the air, and snatching the four starred ball from her hand.
"Hands off! This is my grandpa!", he angrily yells at her. "Girls aren't allowed to touch it!"
"Grandpa? I thought you told me earlier that your grandpa died?", Bulma asks.
"This is the only memento I have left of him. So hands off.", he responds.
Bulma looks over at Rarity, and then back to Goku. She lets out an aggravated sigh, and then says, "Here. Let me show you something." She reaches into one of her pouches, and pulls out two more dragon balls. One had five stars, and the other has two.
"Oh. You have two grandpas!", Goku says.
"They're not 'grandpas', they're...", she pauses and looks over at Rarity,"... dragon balls. How did you know?"
Rarity gives Bulma a smug grin. "Oh, I know much more than what they are. I also know what they do. So... Why don't you tell me what your wish is?"
"Wish?", Goku questions. "What are all of you talking about?"
"Goku...", begins Fluttershy. "These are called dragon balls. Rarity and I knew what it was the moment we saw it, because we have them back in our world too. There are seven of them in all. When you gather all of them, you can summon this really big, scary looking dragon, and he'll grant you any three wishes you want.", she explains. "W-well... three in our world. Our dragon balls were much bigger. From the story we were told, I think these only grant one wish... Sorry if my explanation was boring to you..."
"Wow...", Goku says; completely amazed by her story.
"Quite. We've seen the power of the dragon first-hoof. The dragon balls could be our only hope of getting home.", explains Rarity.
"Wait... they exist in... your world? So you're saying that you really are from another world?", Bulma questions.
Rarity nods. "We come from an alternate version of Earth. In our Earth, ponies like ourselves are the dominant species, and humans don't even exist. A powerful spell that went awry, displaced us from our home, and sent us here. The dragon balls could be our only means of getting home."
"Crap. This means that they'll want the balls too! I want my wish, darn it!", Bulma runs through her mind. "Well, I have a really important wish myself!", she states, and then turns to Goku and gives him a big smile. "So, Goku... Why don't you let me have your dragon ball?"
"No! You can't have it!", he says, and then sticks his tongue out at her.
"Oh, but... I know! I know what a boy like you wants...", she says with a sly grin. She turns her back to him, bends over a little, and pulls the back of her shirt up; revealing her butt and panties. "If you let me have the dragon ball, I'll let you have a little feel."
"Why would I want to touch your dirty butt?", he asks.
She turns around and begins shouting at him. "IT IS NOT DIRTY! HOW DARE YOU SAY SOMETHING THAT RUDE TO A LADY!"
"Lady?", Rarity scoffs. "What kind of lady wiggles her dirty flank in the face of a stallion to get what she wants? You are a vulgar, and unrefined young woman. And for that matter, what kind of vulgar thing would you possibly wish for?"
"Vulgar!? I'll have you know that my wish is a noble one, and it's every bit as important as yours!" She places her left hand on the center of her chest, and says with the most serious tone she could muster, "I am going to wish for a cute boyfriend!"
Rarity's jaw drops in disbelief. "A boyfriend... A BOYFRIEND!?", she shouts. "How could you be willing to risk this one chance for us to return to our home over something so absolutely trivial!? Are you that vain, or are you just ignorant!? ... Or maybe your vulgar personality scares away any potential suitor?"
Bulma grits her teeth. "Kkkkkk... There is absolutely nothing wrong with my personality! I could have any guy in the world that I want! I just want the absolute most perfect one! And even if I am vain, at least I'm not some ugly talking horse that has a weird growth coming out of my head that almost looks like a pe-"
"THAT'S ENOUGH!", Goku interjects. "I'm not letting anyone take my grandpa's ball! So both of you stop fighting!"
"Oh... I'm so sorry, Goku.", Rarity apologizes. "I'm so sorry that you had to see that ugly side of myself."
"Oh no. This isn't good!", Bulma mentally panics. "If this keeps up, I won't be able to get my wish! Think, Bulma, think! You're a smart girl. You can think of a way to even things out, and still get your way... I've got it! This dumb pony was able to sense that I had the dragon balls on me. My dragon radar can lead me to the general area of a dragon ball, but her Gem Finding spell can apparently lock on to its exact location. I could use her. That other pony has wings, so she can probably fly. And then Goku... He trashed my car with his bare hands! He'd make a great bodyguard. Okay... I have to play my cards just right..."
Bulma clears her throat, and begins speaking. "You're right. I'm sorry, Goku. It was wrong of me to argue. And Rarity... I apologize to you too. It was wrong of me to say those mean things. Maybe my wish is vain and ignorant. To make up for it, I just came up with a brilliant idea."
Rarity raises an eyebrow. "Apology accepted, and what is this idea?"
"Well, as I said, I could have any guy in the world. We'd have to do a lot of travelling to find all seven dragon balls. If all four of us travel together to find them, we could all get what we want! I'm sure I could find the perfect guy in our travels. You two could get your wish to go home. Goku would get to see the world, expand on his training, and get even stronger! Plus he wouldn't have to give anyone his ball; he'd just have to let us borrow it to summon the dragon. It's a win-win all around!", explains Bulma.
"Do you think I could get as strong as my grandpa if I travel?", asks Goku.
"Definitely. You'd get to see and experience all kinds of things you can't if you stay here in these mountains.", Bulma replies.
"All right! I'll go, then! But I'm not handing my ball to you until we get all the others. I'll hold onto it until then.", he states.
Bulma smiles, nods, and then looks to Rarity and Fluttershy. "Well? What about you two?"
"H-how do we find the dragon balls? Rarity's Gem Finding spell can't pick them up until she gets close.", asks Fluttershy.
"Hehe. That's easy. We use this.", Bulma says as she pulls out the watch-like object she used earlier. "This is my dragon radar. I designed it to pick up the energy that the dragon balls emanate." She clicks the top button a few times, and then shows the two ponies the green radar screen. "See? The closest one is about twelve-hundred kilometers from here."
Fluttershy's eyes light up. "Rarity, this is exactly what we were hoping for!"
"I know...", Rarity responds. "It almost seems too good to be true. But... This is our only chance. Of course we'll do it!"
"Hehehe... Hook, line, and sinker! I'll use them to get the dragon balls, and then steal my wish right out from under them!", Bulma schemes. "All right. It's settled then. Let's head out!"
"Yes! Let's go!", Rarity agrees. "If that girl really thinks I've fallen for such an obvious trick, then she's as ignorant as I implied earlier."

MT. PAOZU
A FEW HOURS AFTER THE BATTLE WITH RADITZ
Rainbow Dash is inside a plane that has a large cargo hold, and is with five people she has just met. Goku is leaning against the inside wall of the plane. He's only wearing his pants, and his chest and ribs are bandaged after being injured in the fight with Raditz. Next to him is his life long best friend, Krillin. Krillin stands a little taller than Dash. He wears the same style gi as Goku, and is completely bald. Opposite Krillin is Goku's son, Gohan. He's much shorter than Dash, and has black hair. He's wearing a long sleeved green shirt, a yellow over-shirt that has a Japanese character symbol on it, and a red hat that has the four starred dragon ball attached to the top.
Sitting in one of the seats in the front was Muten Roshi. He was an elderly man that was about five and a half feet tall, bald, and has a thick, white fu manchu mustache and beard. He wore a green t-shirt that was tucked into a pair of long yellow pants, and a pair of sunglasses with red frames. Piloting the plane was Bulma, a woman with blue hair that was in her mid-twenties. She wore a pair of white shorts, a blue top, and a white jacket.
Immediately after the fight was over, Rainbow Dash discovered that Raditz had kidnapped Goku's son in an attempt to convince him to join him, and kill all life on Earth. The two saiyans that would arrive in one year were coming to do the same thing so they could sell the planet to other aliens. Piccolo regenerated his arm, and left the area without saying anything to anyone; presumably leaving to prepare for the arrival of the saiyans in one year.
The group is currently over a forest at the base of Mt. Paozu, and are heading to Goku's home to plan their next move. Ever since boarding the plane, Rainbow Dash has been explaining who she is, where she came from, how she came to be here, and how she got so strong.
Krillin goes wide-eyed, and blinks several times; his face bearing a look of disbelief. "You beat that monster like it was nothing, and you've only been training for one year!? Goku and I have trained our whole lives and couldn't even hurt him!"
"It's hard to imagine that you're this strong, and have only been training for such a short time.", says Roshi. "You must have had very impressive teachers."
Dash nods. "Yeah, totally. Titan Hoof, Star Binder, and Thundering Sky are insanely strong! Even though they were training me and two others, they still found time to train together. There's no way to even compare them a year ago to the way they are now. And the other two that were training with me, Bladewing and Iron Horn, got way stronger than me. I pushed myself to my limits, but them... I just don't know how they did it."
"It doesn't matter that you were weaker than those others. You're still a a heck of a lot stronger than he was.", says Goku; referring to Raditz. "If you hadn't shown up when you did, me and Piccolo would have been goners for sure."
Dash smiles a bit. "Hehe, yeah. I guess I was pretty amazing.", she somewhat gloats. "But... these guys that are going to be here a year from now... Will you be able to get strong enough in one year to fight them?"
Krillin speaks up, "With someone like you training with us, I'm sure we can!"
Dash gives Krillin a confused look. "What, huh? No, no. This isn't my fight. I only stepped in 'cause that big guy attacked me first. I can't just stick around here. I've got to find a way back home as fast as possible, and find out what that big explosion was!"
"What!? Aw, come on! We could really use your help, Rainbow Dash!", Krillin pleads.
"She's right.", Roshi interjects. "As powerful an ally as she would make, this isn't her planet to defend. She has her own home to worry about, and we can't ask something like this of her."
Krillin looks with concern at Goku; hoping that maybe he won't side with their former mentor. Much to his dismay, Goku agrees with Muten Roshi. "Yeah... We can't ask her to put her life on the line for our sake. She's got family and friends of her own to worry about."
Krillin sighs. "You're right... I shouldn't be begging you to fight our battles for us."
"I'm sorry.", Dash apologizes. "Part of me hates to leave you guys hanging like this, but I've got to get back. Then again, I really have no clue how to get back. I could wait for Lunalia to show up... if she shows up at all. Too bad I don't have the dragon balls. They could totally get me back home."
Hearing the mention of the dragon balls, Gohan reaches up and clutches tightly to his hat. Dash notices Gohan do this, and looks at him; perplexed by his actions. Then she finally realizes what the object on his hat is. Her jaw drops in shock, and her eyes go wide. She points at it with a foreleg, and stutters out, "I-I-I-IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS!?"
Bulma finally speaks up from the front. "You'd be right. That's a dragon ball. If you're version of Earth has them, then why are you just now recognizing it?"
"Well, it's not earth that has them. They're on a planet really far from Earth, called Namek. The Namekians are the ones who made the dragon balls, and theirs' are a lot bigger than that.", Dash responds.
"Our dragon balls were made by Kami, the Guardian of Earth.", states Goku. "We have this ball on Gohan's hat, and I have two more at home. You're welcome to use them if you want."
"What!? Even though I'm abandoning you guys, you'd still let me use your dragon balls?", Dash asks Goku in surprise.
Goku nods. "It's my way of saying thanks for saving the lives of my son and me. You could have just flown away, but you chose to fight instead."
"Th-Thanks. That means I have to find the other four. Any idea where they'd be?", Dash openly asks.
"No.", replies Bulma. "Once you use the dragon balls, they scatter all over the world. But, you can use this to track them down." She reaches into one of her jacket pockets and pulls out her invention, the dragon radar, and slides it across the floor to Dash.
Dash stops it with a hoof, and stares at it for a second. "What's this?", she asks Bulma.
"That's my dragon radar. It picks up the energy that resonates from the dragon balls from almost any distance, which will allow you to find them much easier. Just click the button at the top to zoom in and out."
Dash clicks the button at the top, and the radar displays two different signals. One from her current location, and a larger signal with the number two coming from the direction that they were heading. "Oh, cool! I see where the other two are from here!" She clicks the button until the radar is at its maximum range. Just barely within the range is one more signal, and it's much larger than the others... and displays the number four. "Huh? If I'm reading this right, the other four are already together."
"What? You may be reading it wrong. Let me see it.", says Krillin. He takes the radar from Rainbow Dash, and looks at it himself. "Oh, wow. She's right. The other four are all together. That's odd. They normally don't land together like that.", he says as he hands the radar back to Dash.
"Well, definitely thanks for letting me use this! I promise I'll take good care of it, and return it before I summon the dragon!", Dash happily exclaims.
"Actually... It's been a long time since I've been on a big adventure, and I could use the excuse to get away from my two-timing boyfriend. I'll go with you.", states Bulma.
"Huh?", Dash says with a confused look.
Bulma turns around, and looks at Dash with a cocky smile. "It won't be my first time tracking down the dragon balls."
"Oh. Well, thanks then. I guess it would be useful to have someone with me that's done it before."
Goku's home looms into view as the sun begins to dip behind the horizon, and Bulma carefully lands in a nearby clearing. As the plane powers down and the doors open, the front door to Goku's home opens, and a woman with black hair walks out. She stands a little taller than five feet, her hair was pulled into a bun, but a little was hanging down both sides of her face. She wore a purple dress with an orange cloth tied at the top, and a yellow sash.
The group walks out, with Goku leaning on Muten Roshi. Gohan bolts towards the woman. "Mommy!"
She picks him up, and hugs him tightly. "Gohan, did you have fun being around your daddy's old friends?", she asks with care.
"Mommy, some really scary things happened today!", he says to her.
"Huh?", she says, and then notices the shape Goku is in. "Goku! What happened!?"
"Chi-Chi... We almost died today.", he says to his wife. He explains everything that happened. Gohan's kidnapping, teaming up with his former enemy Piccolo, how a pony from an alternate universe saved their lives... and that even more powerful enemies were going to arrive in just one year.
She looks at Goku with concern. "Oh no. This is terrible..." She turns her head to Dash. "Are you going to help them fight?"
Rainbow Dash shakes her head. "I feel kinda bad for having to leave, but I need to get back home. Some really bad accident is what brought me here, and I'm worried about my friends."
The air hangs still for a moment as no one says anything; the weight of their situation really beginning to bear down on them. Then, as if purely to alleviate tension in the air, Goku's stomach loudly growls.
Chi-Chi facepalms. "You and that stomach are a lost cause. Ugh, dinner is almost ready. You're all welcome to join us, if you'd like."
"Don't mind if I do.", says Krillin.
"I actually am kind of hungry.", states Dash.
"I think I'm fine.", responds Bulma. "I need to head back to West City to get some supplies for the journey. Rainbow Dash, I'll meet you here sometime tomorrow, and we'll get going."
"I'm not really hungry either.", replies Roshi. "I think I'll head back to my island. Would you mind giving an old man a ride, Bulma?"
Bulma narrows her eyes at him. "Okay, but if you try any of your lechery on the way, I'm dumping you out over the ocean!", she tells him. She waves to the rest of the group. "Bye, guys. See you all tomorrow!"
Goku and company wave goodbye to their friends as they watch the plane lift off and fly into the distance. Goku's stomach growls once more, and he says, "All right! I'm starved. Let's eat!"
______________________________________________________________
NEXT DAY, MID-DAY
Rainbow Dash and Krillin are sparring next to a lake far from Goku's home while they wait for Bulma to arrive. Goku is swimming in the deep parts of the lake to hunt fish; his injuries already almost completely healed. He spots one, and kicks it hard; knocking it out of the lake. Krillin sees a large shadow over him, and looks up to see a fish several times his size falling in his direction. He barely manages to dive out of the way as the monstrous fish lands right where he was standing.
"Whoa! Nice one, Goku!", Krillin says to his friend as Goku climbs out of the lake.
"Yeah. We'll eat good again today.", agrees Goku.
"I hope you remember that I don't eat meat...", Dash reminds Goku.
"Hehe. I know. We've got plenty of other stuff.", he responds.
"Good." She lets out a sigh, and looks into the sky. "I wonder what's keeping Bulma? You guys have any idea?", she asks them. They don't respond to her. She turns her head back to look at them. Their eyes bear a look of panic, and are fixated in the direction of Goku's home. "Um, guys? What's wrong?"
Krillin looks to Goku. "Get your clothes back on, quick, and meet us back at your house!", he says, and then turns to Dash. "Come on, Rainbow Dash!", he says with urgency, and begins to run.
Dash gives chase, but is completely confused. "What's going on!?"
"You don't sense that evil ki?", Krillin questions.
"I can't sense ki!"
"There is a strong evil ki coming from Goku's house!", he explains.
The moment he finishes his sentence, Goku rushes past them; large fish still in tow. "CHI-CHI!", he shouts as he runs.
"Wow, I'd forgotten how fast he can be! ... Oh, no! The presence I felt is already gone!", Krillin shouts.
"Ugh, then let's do it like this!" Dash rushes to Krillin, and uses her head to toss him onto her back. "Hold on tight!", she says as she envelops herself in ki, and flies towards Goku.
They catch up to him quickly, and reach his home soon afterward. Chi-Chi is laying face down on the ground, and Gohan is sitting on his knees next to her; crying his eyes out. Goku drops the fish, and rushes to Chi-Chi. Krillin and Dash go to Gohan.
Goku carefully rolls Chi-Chi over. She's bruised and beaten, but she's still alive. "Chi-Chi! Chi-Chi, are you okay!?", he asks her; his voice filled with fear.
She slowly opens her eyes. "Go... ku...", she slowly responds.
"What happened!?", he asks her in a panic.
"Th... Three of them. They came... for the... dragon balls... They took them... I couldn't stop them...", she weakly responds.
"The dragon balls!?", Rainbow Dash shouts. "That was my ticket out of here! But why would- ... THE FOUR THAT WERE TOGETHER!"
Krillin snaps to attention. "That's right! These goons must have already had the other four gathered!"
"NO!", Dash panics. "If they already had the other four, these last three make seven! I've got to stop them before they can summon the dragon!"
"Yeah! If these guys were willing to beat up Chi-Chi to get the balls, there's no telling what they'd use them for!", agrees Krillin.
Goku has taken Chi-Chi inside, and returned with a red staff tied to his back, and the dragon radar in hand. He looks to the sky and shouts, "FLYING NIMBUS!" He then looks back to Krillin and Dash. "I want you two to stay here and look after Chi-Chi and Gohan. This is personal."
"Those guys stole my one chance to get out of here! I'm not letting you go alone!", Dash states.
Krillin looks to Goku. "I can handle watching out for things here! You two go and stop these guys!"
A small yellow cloud flies in, and stops in front of Goku. He hops on top of it, and looks back to Krillin. "Thanks, old friend. LET'S GO, RAINBOW DASH!" The moment he finishes his words, the two take off at a high speed in the direction the dragon radar is leading them.
"Good luck, you two."
After a good deal of time flying, Rainbow Dash and Goku are now out over a vast ocean. In the distance, they can see a massive castle. Goku checks the dragon radar, and sees that the signal is coming from the castle. "That's it!", he shouts to Dash.
However, before she can offer a response, the sky above goes black, and a massive burst of energy shoots into the sky over the castle. After several moments pass, the energy gains a physical form, and manifests as a large serpent-like dragon.
"NO! WE'RE TOO LATE!", Dash shouts in a panic.
"I AM THE ETERNAL DRAGON! SPEAK THY ONE WISH, AND I SHALT DO MY BEST TO GRANT IT!", the dragon bellows.
Four hooded figures stand before the dragon. Three of them are around six foot or so tall. The fourth is incredibly short.
The smaller figure removes his hood; revealing a pale face with a few dark green splotches here and there. He reaches his hands into the air and shouts, "ETERNAL DRAGON! GRANT ME, GARLIC JR., IMMORTALITY!"
The dragons' eyes glow, and a burst of energy surrounds Garlic Jr. "IT HATH BEEN DONE! I SHALL NOW DEPART!" With those words, the dragon disappears, the dragon balls float into the air, and they disperse across the entire planet! The blackened sky then returns to normal.
Electricity sparks around the now immortal Garlic Jr. "Now... I shall take revenge against Kami for his crimes against my father... NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!", he cackles manically.
