Super Warrior Memorial [Goku and Friends]

There was once a young boy named Goku who lived alone deep in the mountains. One day, he met Bulma, a young girl who was seeking the Dragon Balls, and the two set off together to find them.

They were traveling across the wasteland to Fry-Pan Mountain, where a Dragon Ball was said to lie. That's when they were waylaid by Yamcha, a bandit who preyed on any who strayed into that forsaken land!

I have a bad feeling about this.

And my name is Puar!

O-Oolong?!

Yes! Oolong always used to bully me back when I attended the Southern Shapeshifter School!

And he has a really dirty mind. He was expelled from school for stealing a teacher's panties!

Why, that no good... Why bring up garbage like that?

Hey! You're a tough guy, right?! Like, really tough!

Yamcha, just take care of them already!

Didn't you hear what I said? Yes, he's bad. Very, VERY bad!

And he'll off us if you don't do something!

You sure you can handle this?

...

Puar... We're pulling out for now.

O-Okay!

Listen up! We WILL have your capsules!

Wh-What?! What's wrong?!

...

Dammit! I didn't notice there was a girl with them.

You certainly do have a weakness for women.

Th-This is bad. I get nervous around girls.

It's not that I don't like them. I just tend to lose my composure...

Yamcha was a terribly formidable foe with just one weakness: women. But Goku and company ended up working with him to get themselves out of a couple of tight spots, and before they knew it, they were fast friends.

With his Dragon Ball search at an end for now, Goku bid farewell to Bulma and the others and headed off to see Master Roshi. He hoped to train as a pupil of the great master. But when he arrived, another youth by the name of Krillin showed up.

After passing a test requiring them to bring a peppy gal, Goku and Krillin were warmly welcomed under Master Roshi's tutelage. But little did they know what rigorous training awaited them!

We have to run again?

Take a good look at this rock.

What about it?

I've got no idea what's in your head, Master Roshi.

What?

Y-Yikes!

Give up?

Now give me back the rock.

There's your rock!

Hey! Y-You, You... Dummy!

The real one is right here.

And so Master Roshi's rigorous training had begun. It was far more difficult than Goku and Krillin had ever imagined, but they kept at it with single-minded devotion and an eye on entering the World Tournament in eight months!

Goku and Gohan began training in the Chamber of Spirit and Time to take on the androids created by Dr. Gero, the evil doctor who numbered among the Red Ribbon Army's remnants.

A Super Saiyan? Who, me? I-Is that really possible?

Am I gonna get in the way of your own training, Dad?

...

What?! Me?! Exceed you?!

I wonder... Trunks once told me that...

...in the future, I do become a Super Saiyan, but I still end up getting killed by the androids.

D...Dad...?

I'm only...just getting started...

What incredible Ki! His power just shot higher than mine!

Haaaaaaaah!

Gohan showed a glimpse of his true power during his training in the Chamber of Spirit and Time! Upon witnessing his son's tremendous power, Goku secretly hoped he would be the one to defeat Cell...

After attaining his "Perfect Form", Cell announced the Cell Games to test his new- found power. Humankind's very existence would hinge on the outcome. In order to defend Earth, Goku and the other Super Warriors came to enter. But they weren't the only ones who wanted a piece of the villainous Cell!

H-Hey! I'm the champ around here!

Umm... Are you people planning on entering the Cell Games?

Enough with the monkey business! These "games" aren't meant to be fun!

You lot are all completely clueless!

You're the one who is clueless.

It's time.

I don't care who, but someone better get out here and fight now.

Finally, an agreement seems to have been reached! Even if it was the obvious choice.

But does he realize his decision just saved his life?

It's finally time! Let the Cell Games begin!

Wow! It looks like Hercule is all about offense!

Strong doesn't even begin to describe him! That's our champ for you, folks! That's Hercule!

Bwa ha ha ha HWAR!

Huh?

Phew...

If I'm being honest, I was kind of rooting for Cell just now.

Tsk... Looks like he survived.

I guess Cell didn't want to waste his energy on him.

And he's...out. That's a ring-out.

I-It is with great regret that I must inform you... our champ, Hercule, has lost.

Hercule, wh-wh...why did you lose?

It clearly looked like you were sent flying...

Bah. What a chump! The difference in power is all too apparent...

Oh, he's the champ all right...of unchecked idiocy!

Martial art champion Hercule had fallen short of what the world expected of him. And just like that, the foolish warm-up was over, and it was finally Goku's turn! And thus began the true battle that would decide Earth's fate!

The battle over the Dragon Balls raged on between Goku and the Red Ribbon Army, the most infamous army in the world. But when Yamcha and the others learned that Goku was planning to infiltrate the Red Ribbon Head- quarters...

D-Did you say the Red Ribbon Army?!

But why do I have to go?! I'm fragile!

I'm not ready to die either!

Is there anything I can do to help?

...

However, unaware of Yamcha and the others' concerns for his well-being, Goku attacked the Red Ribbon Army all alone!

Ngh...! To think he'd be this strong...

Having defeated Staff Officer Black, Goku seized the two Dragon Balls in the Red Ribbon Army's possession. Meanwhile, Yamcha and the others finally reached the army's base...

Huh?! What're you lot doing here?

What do you mean "What are we doing here"?

Heh... Nice work figuring that out.

You're as reckless as ever.

Huh? I didn't stop! I DID attack them!

What?!

I beat everybody up and now I have six Dragon Balls!

Yeah! The rest ran away!

Even the police were powerless against the Red Ribbon Army.

Bulma, that reminds me!

The Dragon Radar is busted again. Can you fix it?

What?!

You've gathered six of the seven but you still haven't found your Grandpa's heirloom ball?

We did have the Four-Star Ball, but...

I made a promise to this kid, Upa, whose dad was killed by the Red Ribbon Army, that I'd ask Shenron to bring him back to life!

Very heroic of you, Goku!

In any case, I can't fix the radar here.

Let's head back to Master Roshi's house for now.

Sounds good.

That kid's getting stronger and stronger, isn't he?

Goku single-handedly destroyed the entire Red Ribbon Army. Inspired by Goku's growing strength, Yamcha began his own training to reach new heights.

The battle between Goku and the emperor of the universe, Frieza, had begun on Planet Namek. Goku bet everything on his trump card, the Spirit Bomb, to defeat this greatest of enemies. With the help of his friends, he managed to take out Frieza with a staggering attack. However...

Oh jeez! I completely forgot!

Bulma's still here on Namek!

Ha ha... Well, Bulma CAN be scarier than Frieza, in some ways...

As if! What do you take us for?! We can't just abandon you!

Goku was exploding with rage at the loss of his best friend Krillin. Transforming into the legendary Super Saiyan, he defeated the emperor of the universe, Frieza, with his mind-boggling power, thereby avenging his friend's death.

Taking up his father's mantle, Gohan challenged Cell to battle in the Cell Games, the martial arts tournament to decide the Earth's fate. Just as Goku had hoped, Gohan awakened his true power and defeated the new-and-improved Cell.

However, Cell sought to self-destruct and take Earth out with him. Risking his own life, Goku used Instant Transmission to prevent Earth's destruction, but instead of self- destructing, Cell returned with even greater power!

What's wrong, boy?

Come now! At least struggle before I put you down!

Buck up, Gohan. I don't recall teaching you to quit!

The Otherworld.

I'm talking to you with King Kai's help. It's a one-off, apparently.

Fire off a Kamehameha, just like Cell. Give it everything you've got!

Do that, and you'll win. I promise!

Don't worry. You can do it. Believe in yourself!

Show me one last time. Show me your power... OUR power!

Give him hell. Otherwise, those who died won't ever rest in peace.

Me included. Avenge me, son!

Don't sweat it. I'm having a blast with King Kai on the other side.

I need you to do the same on Earth. Understand?

Ka...me...ha...me...

HAAAA!!!

Grr... Nrrrrghn!

Hwa ha ha! You're finished!

This ends right here!

Th-This is everything I have!

There's nothing left to give!

Farewell, scum!

Th-This is... impossible!

I am...perfection... personified!

You did it, Gohan!

The Kamehameha powered by Gohan and Goku's familial bond ripped through Cell, disintegrating the villain's body. The clash was over, and peace reigned on Earth yet again...

The fate of the entire universe hung in the balance as the final battle between Goku and Majin Buu began in the hallowed territory of Supreme Kai's Planet. But for some reason, Hercule was there too...

The only way to defeat Majin Buu was with a Super Spirit Bomb wrought from the Ki of all Earth's inhabitants! But Goku and company's desperate appeals to the people of Earth failed to gather enough Ki to finish making one...

"Thick heads"? Who're you calling thick?!

Ignore that freak!

Didn't your mother teach you how to ask nicely?

Hey, that's Hercule!

W-Wait a sec. Is Hercule the one battling it out with Buu?!

I had no choice... Cut me some slack, though. They wouldn't have trusted us otherwise.

Beating Buu is all that matters right now!

Hercule! Hercule!

In an incredible twist, Hercule managed to convince the people of Earth to help. Channeling the energy of every man, woman and child on the planet, the Super Spirit Bomb reached completion at long last.

There. It's done!

Gi-gi-giiih!

This is bad.

I've got a hunch that Spirit-whatsit is short on power.

Are you positive? We don't have any Ki left to give...

Ahem. How long do you intend to keep me waiting?

If you do not have a third wish, I will be taking my leave.

...O-Oh, that's right! Actually, we do!

Goku is on Supreme Kai's Planet, fighting for the fate of the universe! Can you fix his fatigue?!

I can restore his power to its normal state, if that is what you wish.

It is! Please do it, now!

Goku! We used our third wish to restore your energy! How do you feel?

Thank you, Dragon Balls!!!

...!

Kah... Ka-kah... Kah...!

...

At long last, Majin Buu was annihilated. It was a well-deserved happy ending for all. But alongside Goku and our heroes was the original Buu, wounded from battling the evil Buu...

Are you sure?

Were I you, I would abstain from these "simple fixes" with the Dragon Balls...

And with that, our heroes returned to their families and friends on Earth. True peace was finally achieved on Earth and in the entire universe...
