Lord Slug (2024)

An entire planet was bearing down on the peaceful Earth from the depths of space. A collision was just barely averted, but a spaceship descended from the planet. Little did Earth's denizens know what was in store...

From this moment for- ward, this planet belongs to Lord Slug...supreme ruler of all space!

Likewise, the entire Milky Way Galaxy is now under his great- ness's jurisdiction!

What? A child dares defy us?!

We will do you no harm if you obey our commands.

Subjugator of Stars and Kaiser of the Cosmos, Lord Slug's rule is already absolute!

Now he extends his gracious rule over your planet, too!

His Lordship is highly pleased with its young and lively state.

He intends to remold it into his newest plane- tary cruiser! A most fine vessel it will be!

With our technology, it is but a simple task.

And our technology is also what averted our collision with your planet.

Having learned the secret of the Dragon Balls, Lord Slug deployed his forces on a full-scale search for the mystical orbs. With all seven finally in his grasp, Lord Slug summoned Shenron...

Come forth, Shenron!

Grant me my wish!

Hmm... It seems Earth has fallen victim to a genuine monster.

Having regained his youth, the inferno of Lord Slug's ambition blazed brighter than ever. Was Earth fated to become a vehicle for his malicious machi- nations?

In order to make Earth a more suitable habitat for demonkind, Lord Slug's forces blanketed the skies in thick clouds. Concealed from the sun's light, Earth quickly devolved into an arctic wasteland.

At last, this planet is suited to our kind!

It's still a bit warm.

We demons can't live even an hour in direct sunlight.

Those Earthlings are as good as extinct! Saves us the trouble of slaughtering them.

It's the brat from before!

You won't wriggle your way out of this one, runt!

W-Wait! You're a demon like us, aren't you?

Make the smart move! Join us!

You can't beat Lord Slug anyway! No one can!

...

Hrm?!

Nrrgh...! Wings...

Pathetic!

Piccolo and Gohan were pitted against demonic invaders that had suddenly arrived from space! Gohan faced off against Medamatcha, one of Lord Slug's henchmen...

You're a tough one!

But I can read your moves like a book!

Eat this!

Eeeeeeek!

Aaaaaagh!

They will suck every ounce of energy from your being!

Gohaaan!!!

Did you forget? You're fighting ME!

Imbecile! Haaaaaaaagh!

Today's just not my day. Downing these amateurs cost a perfectly good outfit.

We'll send the both of them off!

Kid and all! ...Huh?!

Who're you?!

Hmph! This guy's off his rocker.

Did you hear that, Angila? He thinks WE'RE off our rockers!

He's grown far too big for his britches!

Hmph... We're not your run-of-the-mill foot soldiers, y'know.

P-Preposterous...!

I-Is my help even needed here?

Goku made quick work of Lord Slug's henchmen in an impressive display of martial prowess. So it was that the sinister mastermind finally revealed himself...

Goku! I've got it!

I've figured him out. As with Kami, Slug escaped his home world of Namek...

...when it was on the brink of destruction. He then arrived on Planet Slug, still a mere infant.

A mutation quite rare to the Namekian species allowed the evil in his heart to gain dominance.

It was a terrible evil far greater than even that of Piccolo when he split from Kami!

For Lord Slug is evil incarnate... He is a Super Namekian!

If I have correctly surmised, neither Frieza...

...nor a Super Saiyan can stand up to him!

The truth that the evil invader, Lord Slug, was a Namekian just like Piccolo, rocked Goku to the core. Was there any hope for him to defeat a Super Namekian whose heart had grown so evil?

Lord Slug was a Super Namekian, a mutation of the Namekian species! Though Goku valiantly stood his ground, he was struck down by his humongous foe...

Thanks to Piccolo's knowledge of Namekian physiology, Gohan's whistling managed to weaken the hulking Slug. In a final bid for victory, Piccolo transferred his remaining power to Goku. And so the final battle was at hand...

Goku's Kaioken of friend- ship, fueled by Piccolo's encouragement, gave him power far beyond Lord Slug's! To deliver the final blow against his foe, Goku soared up above the clouds to gather more energy from the sun!

Trusty sun. I can always depend on you!

Lend me your energy! I only need a little!

I'll kill yooooou!

Spirit Bomb!

Gathering energy from the sun, Goku used a Spirit Bomb to annihilate Lord Slug. The clouds covering Earth dissipated, bathing the planet in the sun's warm glow once more...

Ha ha ha ha ha...

Slug should've quit while he was ahead. Expanding his borders to Earth was his undoing.

Still... Goku took down a Super Namekian. I guess that makes him a Super Saiyan...
