This is going to tire you out a bit, but it's worth it if it means getting the Dragonballs from this nitwit.

"Ka....me...." you start, cupping your hands and holding them toward the wall.

"You say something, kid?" Pilaf asks from the other side.

"Ha....me....." you continue, bringing your hands to your side.

"What was that?" he asks. "You're going to have to speak up."

"HA!"

Your blast strikes the wall and causes it to crumble, revealing a confused and dizzy looking Emperor Pilaf sitting with bricks in his lap.

"I'm sorry, could you repeat that?" he asks.

"Give me back the Dragonballs!" you tell him.

"Alright, alright," he tells you. "You can have them. Just follow me."

Emperor Pilaf manages to push one of the rocks off himself and pick himself up. He takes longer than you like to dust himself off, but once he does, he turns around and leads you down the passageway, to an elevator.

He pushes a button placed rather low on the wall, probably for his benefit, and a set of doors open.

He steps in, and you follow. The two of you stand side by side as the doors close and elevator music starts.

>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQ6YvFC6czQ

Probably the oddest choice in elevator music you've heard, but Emperor Pilaf hums along to it as the two of you go higher up within the palace.

The doors open to a large room with an impressive looking computer set, a bookshelf, a globe, and a table with your suitcase on it.

"There, take the stupid Dragonballs and get going," Emperor Pilaf orders, walking over to the table and grabbing a cup of coffee from it. He takes a sip and moves to stand against the wall next to the bookshelf.

You tell Pilaf to hand the suitcase to you.

"What, why?" he asks.

With all the traps he's sprung on you today, you're not taking any chances.

His face turns red, and he's positively fuming as he marches over to the table and retrieves the suitcase, walking toward you.

"The great Emperor Pilaf taking orders from a child," he laments. "My mother would be so ashamed."

He hands the suitcase to you, and returns to his spot by the wall, leaving his coffee on the table this time.

You open the suitcase, and are pleased to see that there's no trap waiting for you.

Women's clothes, which you presume belong to Bulma, along with a few dynocaps are contained within. There's only one problem.

No Dragonballs.

You look up to see Pilaf at the computer, laughing as he pressed a button, and the ceiling opens up.

Instead of a metallic arm, what comes from above is a glass cage, and inside of that cage are alligators that climb against the glass and snap their mouths in your direction.

"You fool!" Pilaf shouts. "Did you really think I would give up my Dragonballs so easily? You won't be getting what you want. Instead, you'll be joining my hungry friends here for dinner!"

He presses another button, and the cage opens, letting the alligators free.

They quickly crawl toward you, opening their mouths wide to take a nice bite out of you.

You jump over the alligators, grabbing one by the tail as you land.

Pilaf runs for the bookshelf, retrieving a large green box from it and running for the wall. You throw the alligator with all your might, striking Pilaf in the head and knocking him into the bookshelf, which collapses on top of him and his scaly friend.

The box slips from his hands and falls to the ground, the top popping off and revealing six dragonballs sitting in a row.

One star

Two stars

Three stars

Five stars

Six stars

Seven stars

That's all but one. And, apparently your friends have the last one.

You see the elevator descend, and come back up, doors opening to reveal your friends.

Goku comes rushing in with his Power Pole ready, expecting a fight but stopping short when he sees you.

A hiss behind you gets your attention, and you turn to see the other alligator lunge at you, only to be conked on the head by Goku's Power Pole.

"Thank goodness you're alright," Bulma says. "We thought something happened to you."

>>47446292
"What happened to Shu and Mai?" you ask.

"Goku took care of them," Oolong tells you. "Looks like you took care of the blue dwarf."

He picks the box up from the ground. "One, two, three, four, five, six. Kid, you still got your ball?"

Goku retrieves a small pouch, and takes the four star ball from it.

"My grandpa's right here!" Goku says happily.

"Well then, I guess it's time to make our wish," Bulma says.

"Can I still make the wish?" you ask.

"Of course," Bulma tells you. "Right, Oolong?"

"Yeah, yeah, fine," Oolong grumbles, not sounding too happy about it, but not arguing with it either.

"Great, then let's go outside and summon the dragon," Bulma says, taking the box from Oolong and heading for the elevator.

You and the others follow, and you take the elevator down to the first floor, finding your way outside.

It's dark, now, with the stars above and a bright full moon illuminating the desert.

Bulma places the six balls from the box on the ground, and Goku places his with them.

"Alright, here goes nothing," Bulma says. "Eternal dragon, rise and grant the wish of the one who summons you!"

>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgJ1heSrskY

The Dragonballs flash, then glow, a pillar of light shooting from them and up higher than you can see. The pillar changes shape, bending and stretching, and taking on a more serpentine appearance.

You see the light end at a spot above you, taking on the appearance of a colossal, green face with whiskers, horns, and glowing red eyes.

You see that the rest of the beam of light has become a massive, snakelike body including two small hands near the head.

The great dragon stares down at you and your friends.

Bulma and Oolong look rather frightened, while Goku stares up at it in wide-eyed wonder.

"I am the Eternal Dragon," the great creature rumbles. "State your wish, and I shall grant it. But beware, for whatever you wish shall come true."

"I wish to know what happened to my parents," you tell Shenron.

The dragon stares down at you, red eyes flashing for a moment before returning to their normal state.

"I will grant your wish," he tells you. "But, you have a choice to make. Do you wish to hear what happened, or do you wish to see what happened?"

>A. You want to hear

>B. You want to see

>>47446921
I ain't touching this one.

>>47446921
>B. You want to see

>>47446936

>>47446921
>A. You want to hear

>>47446921
>B. You want to see

>>47446948
"I want to see," you tell him.

"Very well," Shenron says, his eyes glowing brightly.

A swirling blob of shadow appears in the sky between you and Shenron, slowly forming into an ovular shape, and producing an image.

You see your mother standing over your bed, smiling a smile you haven't seen in four long years. She bends down and plants a kiss on your forehead, leaving your room and going outside, where your father is finishing chopping some wood.

It looks like a peaceful, beautiful night. A lot like this one, actually. The stars are shining, the moon is full, and you can hear crickets chirping all around, accompanied by the occasional call of an owl.

Your mother walks over to your father, telling him that you're tucked in and sleeping. Your father sets his axe down, and the two of them start for the house when an ear-splitting roar echoes through the forest, driving several birds from their trees and seemingly even making the ground rumble.

Your parents look at each other, and resume heading for the house, stopping when the roar happens again, louder this time. Your parents turn toward the forest again, and several trees collapse in the distance, the ground rumbling as something draws close.

"What's that noise?" you hear.

Your parents see you coming out of the house, rubbing your eyes tiredly.

"Soya, take Tofoo and go inside," your dad instructs, grabbing the gun he always kept with him from the ground.

Your mom nods and ushers you into the house, shutting the door.

The images show your father as he cocks his gun and cautiously enters the forest. The chirping of crickets and hoots of owls have been replaced by dead silence, as whatever made that roar seems to have stopped moving and making any noise.

Your father pauses, looking around.

A roar from above causes him to look up into the horrifying visage of what you can only describe as a monster.

>Continued

>>47447188
It towers above the trees, staring down at your father like you would an ant. It has a large, hairy face with sharp ears, bright red eyes, and a long snout filled with massive fangs.

Your dad steps back, trembling in terror, but manages to keep himself from dropping his gun. Instead, he instinctively pulls the trigger, shooting the massive creature right in the face.

The shot bounces off the massive beast, but it seems to anger it, as it roars loud enough to shake the ground and cause your father to fall over.

The beast raises a massive fist, swinging it down at your father, who has enough time to get off one more shot before he's crushed flat.

The image changes to your mother sitting in your room, watching you sleep with a warm smile on her face. Her eyes go wide, and her face goes pale as a blood-curdling scream rings out.

Your mom looks down at you as your eyes open, and she kneels at your bedside, rubbing your head and telling you to go back to sleep and that everything will be fine.

She goes into her room and grabs the spare gun, cocking it and going outside, rushing for the forest as fast as her legs can carry her.

Just before she reaches the trees, a massive foot strikes the ground in front of her, stopping her dead in her tracks.

She looks up, dropping her gun in a panic when she sees the massive creature towering over her.

But, it's not looking at her.

She follows its gaze to see that it's staring at your home. The creature roars and steps forward, and she runs between it's legs, getting behind it.

She cups her hands and shouts. "HEY!"

The monster stops, turning around to see your mother waving her arms and shouting at it. It lets out a roar as she turns and flees into the woods, and follows after her.

Your mom doesn't get far, as the creature reaches down and grabs her in one powerful hand, raising your mother above its head and opening its mouth wide.

>>47447291
Your mother kicks and screams, terror on her face and tears in her eyes as the creature drops her into its open maw.

The image disappears, and you find yourself once more staring into the glowing red eyes of the Eternal Dragon.

"Your wish is granted," the dragon tells you, his body being surrounded in a golden light.

The dragon vanishes, and the Dragonballs rise in a pillar of light before shooting off in many different directions.

>>47447342
You fall to your knees, tears pouring from your eyes as you stare ahead.

You lower your head into the sand and put your hands over it, sobbing loudly as your friends look on in stunned silence.

Bulma comes to your side, and, not seeming to know what to do, sits you up and tries hugging you to see if that makes you feel any better.

Oolong keeps his mouth shut for once, which you're pretty grateful for.

Goku comes to your side, his expression neutral.

"I'm sorry, Tofoo," he tells you. "I know how you feel. My grandpa got killed by a big monster too."

"Was it the same one?" Oolong asks him.

"I don't know," Goku admits. "I never saw it."

You're too upset to say anything to Goku. Instead, you hug Bulma tight and continue your sobbing. As you turn to her, you see that she's crying too.

She holds you tight, and the two of you cry together as Goku watches not seeming to entirely get it.

Oolong, however, doesn't seem to want to let the conversation drop, and asks Goku what exactly he remembers from the night his grandpa died.

"Well, grandpa always told me that a terrible monster comes out on the full moon," Goku explains. "And that no matter what, I should never look at it."

Maybe it was the same monster. What you just saw happened on a full moon.

You feel Bulma tense up, and she lifts her head, presumably to look at Goku.

"Uh...Goku, did you look at the moon that night?" she asks nervously.

You stop crying long enough to ask her why that matters.

She doesn't answer you, but her stiff posture makes you wonder if she's afraid of something.

"Yeah," Goku admits. "I wasn't supposed to, but I looked at the full moon right before I fell asleep that night."

You think you understand where Bulma's going with this. That thing you saw looked like some giant gorilla, and Goku has a tail. Goku looked at a full moon the night his grandpa died...

"Is tonight a full moon?" you ask.

Bulma nods slowly. "Yes."

"Okay, kid, look, whatever you do, DO NOT LOOK AT THE MOON!" Oolong shouts at Goku.

"Huh? Why?" Goku asks, looking up into the sky.

You feel Bulma tense even more, and hear Oolong gulp in fear. You look over your shoulder to see Goku staring up at the sky, only to look back at you and the others, smiling.

"What's wrong?" he asks before his face goes blank.

He goes entirely still for a moment, then his chest begins to pulse, and seems to grow. His arms increase in size, then his legs, then the rest of him. His clothes rip right off as he grows bigger and bigger, hair covering every inch of his body. His face stretches into a snout, and his eyes go entirely red.

He grows and grows, letting out an echoing roar to the sky.

You stare up at him, feeling sick to your stomach as you take in what this means.

You're looking at the monster that killed your parents.

>A. Attack him!

>B. Try a Kamehameha to the face

You grab Bulma's hand and start running, shouting for Oolong to follow.

"You don't have to tell me twice, kid!" the pig assures you, keeping pace rather well.

Goku roars, and you hear him grunting as he starts moving in pursuit of you. Looking over your shoulder, you see that he's moving much faster than he should be able to with his massive size.

"He's going to get us!" Bulma cries.

You tell Oolong and Bulma to run while you keep Goku distracted.

"Kid, that's crazy!" Oolong tells you. "He'll eat you alive!"

"No way!" Bulma tells you. "There's no way you can take him!"

You let go of her hand and turn to face Goku. Like your mother, you yell, wave your arms, and run to draw the creature's attention.

With a roar, Goku gives chase.

That's it for tonight you guys, I plan to run again tomorrow (hopefully for a longer period of time)
