DragonBall
Z Uncut
Episode 12
By Leigh Couchman
Awwww, it’s always sad when they leave home. Since it is the last episode everyone gathers around for a sentimental last viewing of the beginning we’ve all grown to abhor. The writer gets particularly melancholic and begins throwing cheesels at the screen. A producer sobs and a spooky pig flies by.
The screen is shaking as Vegitto powers up. Lightning skews off at all sorts of tangents, and somewhere an old man’s pants fall down. Yes, Vegitto is that powerful.
Vegitto: Gajabarrraggaraggghhhhh!!!
Supreme Kai: Very articulate.
Vegitto: Aarggghh! (He finishes and stands there flashing with a smug expression on his face) And now to end this. Let us rock and/or roll.
Majin Buu: Me kill you all! One by one!
Master Roshi: Ooo ooh! (Pointing at Krillin) Him first! He’s a turtle violator!
Krillin: (Shocked) You gave me the green light! You said he didn’t mind!
Master Roshi: (Ashamed) I needed the money. (Hangs head) For porn.
Chi Chi and Bulma spit on Master Roshi whilst muttering several insults such as ‘Pervert!’, ‘Voyeur!’, and ‘Incontinent cueball!’
Vegitto: Time for you to meet you maker.
Majin Buu: Fisher Price?
Vegitto: (In true anime style, falls over. Gets up) Die you sadistic fiend!
The fight resumes and all the support crew look on with a collective expression that could be described as being about to poop their pants. Gohan and 18 do a choreography. Vegitto does a lot of super speed ‘swooshing’, and Buu is getting frustrated. He finally hits him, to which the frame nearly stops for a couple of seconds, until Vegitto recovers and floors Buu with a flurry of shots.
Gohan: (Dancing) Sweet Jhesu, what a smashing shot!
Yamcha: He... he might have the upper hand. Woo yeah! Rock on!
Vegitto: (As Buu rises up slowly into the air to face him) Next time you won’t get up.
Majin Buu: Grrrr! Me gonna eat you!
Vegitto: I doubt it. The protein alone would make your head explode. Vegeta was a protein milkshake fiend.
Buu launches at Vegitto who starts blocking at a furious speed. They break away and shoot beams at each other. Buu gets so frustrated that he begins throwing body parts at Vegitto. They close in again and this time Buu gets some good shots in. This continues for several minutes.
Supreme Kai: Vegitto’s playing with him. Yes, he’s got him beat!
Gotenks: Does this mean you won’t go spastic on us anymore?
Supreme Kai: (Gives Gotenks an irritated look) I was fine Gotenks. Just a little anxious...
Yamcha: (Cutting in) You were carrying on like a hysterical woman!
Bulma: Ah hem!
Yamcha: Thanks, good point Bulma. (Turning to the Kai) You were carrying on like Bulma...
Bulma: (Kicking Yamcha in the nuts) F@ckwit. (Yamcha’s eyes glaze over and he faints.)
Cut back to the action. Vegitto is dodging all of Buu’s moves and vice versa. Vegitto finally punches Buu into a mountain. Cut to the Otherworld.
King Kai: Boo yow!
The rocks crumble as a very irate Majin Buu climbs out of the rubble. Steam is blowing out of his head and he begins to gather energy in his hands.
Majin Buu: You die!
Vegitto: (Leaning into the Ka-Mae-Ha-Mae-Ha stance. He too begins collecting energy) Not today rugrat. Raaargh!
They continue to collect energy. The ground begins to shake and tiny shards of rock begin to float into the air, gradually speeding up into a whirlwind. The strain and intense concentration the fighters are under begins to show: sweat is dripping down foreheads, veins are popping out, eyes are jiggling. This continues... ... ...for ten minutes. And to make the moment all the more stupendous, it is only interspaced with...
Yamcha: (Regaining consciousness) Woah!
Krillin: Aaahh... errr... ahahaaa...
Finally they are both fully charged, and both are giving off whopping amounts of lightning and there is a continuous whirlwind around each.
Vegitto: Ka....Mae....
Gohan: Dad!
Vegitto: Ha....
Gotenks: (Vacant stare) Wow. (Wipes tears from eyes) That’s my dads.
Vegitto: Maaaaeeee....
Chi Chi: Goku!
Bulma: Vegeta! My sweet li’l punkin!
Vegitto: Haaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!
Majin Buu: (Releasing energy blast) Aaarrgggghhhhhh!!!
The two balls collide, but the Ka-Mae-Ha-Mae-Ha easily overpowers Buu’s. Buu gets hit full on by the wave and begins to dematerialise.
Majin Buu: Nooo! Tell mum I won’t be home for my Bar Mitzvah!!
Majin Buu gets incinerated in the blast. After a few minutes the smoke clears and Vegitto lands, smug as all hell, facing Gotenks.
Gotenks: Your forehead is huuuuge, though you still opened a can of whoop ass on ‘im!
Vegitto smiles. Everybody cheers. Gohan and 18 do a celebratory jig.
Piccolo: (Landing with four other figures) Okay, here’s the plan. I’ve brought the Teletubbies here; I figure they must know exactly what’s going on in Majin Buu’s mind.
Purple Teletubbie: Gaaa... goo goo bajoo.
Piccolo: So I say... (Pause. Glances around. Several of the Z Fighters are shaking their heads. Piccolo catches on) Vegitto defeated Buu already? (They all nod) Hmmm... well... sh@t. (Glances over at the Teletubbies) What do we do with these now?
Gotenks and Vegitto look at each other. In unspoken agreement they both casually raise their arms without turning or even looking, and blast the Teletubbies into oblivion. The explosion is huge.
All: Huzzah!
Gotenks and Vegitto then turn back into Goten, Trunks, Vegeta and Goku respectively. Chi Chi runs up and embraces Goku. Bulma runs up and embraces Vegeta, and then Piccolo runs up and embraces Bulma. Videl runs up and embraces Gohan. Krillin, Trunks, and Goten run up and embrace 18. The Supreme Kai runs up and embraces Master Roshi. Yamcha is impaled by a wayward Coconut Palm and dies alone and frightened.
Yamcha: (Alone and frightened) What a bummer! Woah! (He dies)
Master Roshi: Aww, it’s a Kodak moment.
Supreme Kai: Well, my work here is done. Good luck guys. (He begins to fly off)
Piccolo: Goodbye, never show your rebellious Mohawk around here again.
Supreme Kai: Vice versa, Grinch. (He disappears with a mystical ‘Pop’.)
Gohan: (Holding Videl) Babe, I’ve changed my mind. Let’s go to a cheap motel and get nasty.
Videl: Ah! Let’s! (They immediately fly off into the sunset)
Goku: Good for them.
Chi Chi: Gohan! You man whore! Get back here now!
Goku: Let them go Chi Chi, they’ll be young only once.
Chi Chi: You’re not serious?!
Goku: It’s either that or I slap you unconscious.
Chi Chi: (Glares at him) Okay, but only ‘cause you’re a cute Super Saiya-Jin 35.
Goku: (Smiles) Naturally.
18: (Smiling broadly) That reminds me. (Placing one hand on one of Trunks’ and Goten’s shoulders) I’m going to have fun educating you boys in a couple of years. A lot of fun. (She leans forwards and rubs their shoulders suggestively)
Piccolo: That is wrong on sooo many levels.
Goten: (To Trunks) Do you have any idea what she means?
Trunks: (Eyes bulged. Eyeing 18 suggestively) Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!!
Goten: I’ll take that as a no.
Krillin: Wow, gee, like, it’s all over bro. What are you going to do now Goku?
Goku: Haven’t the foggiest. What about you Vegeta?
Vegeta: (Amazingly, not pissed off at anything) I don’t know, but I get the feeling that some facial hair is on the way...
All the Z Fighters turn and face the sunset.
Krillin: Why do I get the idea that this is the end of something?
Piccolo: Because the writer is running out of ink. (Pause) And ideas.
Goku: We should be proud guys. With the exception of Yamcha, we all did something grand today. (Breaks into singing) I’ve been to Hollywood, I’ve been to Redwood. I’ve been searching for a heart of gooolldd...
All the Z Fighters join in singing Heart of Gold.
Narrator: As this chapter closes to an end, the impending question for the Z Fighters is what lies ahead. No one knows. Except the writer, and even he has to finish watching his DragonBall GT vcds first. Our heroes keep on singing till their throats are sore, not knowing how they will be challenged in the future. But it will be tough, unrelenting, and probably have coloured skin. Goku, we love you.
