26. Into the cool water




In the meantime they had returned to the others. They had talked about their not exactly great experience with the Dragon Balls. The next dragon ball was not far from where she was. This time only Goku and Gohan set off. Bulma tried to find out something about this planet, but Kibo seemed to change his location frequently and it looked like there was no way to leave this planet until they passed this strange test. But what was this test actually? A fight or a puzzle? When would someone finally show up and give them the exam?


Bulma: "Damn it and sew it up! I didn't plan to stay on this planet forever!"


Trunks: "No chance to get out of here!"


Bra: "What do we actually do when the Dragon Balls ... well, don't exist or ...?"


Videl: "They already exist, but ... this disappearance of the dragon balls must mean something!"

Pan: "Tell me, where exactly did grandpa and dad fly to?"


Videl: "Uhh ... about 100 kilometers southwest of here is a dragon ball. Probably at the bottom of a sea."


Pan: "Why did they just fly there?"


Videl: "Good question ... I think Bulma wanted to try something else and for that she needs Vegeta, because he is actually the second strongest fighter. She wanted to try to break this strange wall with Vegeta's powers, but so far nothing has happened brought! "


Pan: "Tell me mum, when dad and grandpa are there, can't I fly over there and look for the dragon ball?"


Videl: "Well, for me!"


Pan took off before Chichi could stop her.


Goku and Gohan hadn't gotten very far in their search for the Dragon Ball. The lake that the dragon ball was in was very deep, but that wasn't the problem. In this lake there were mostly caves and in one of these caves, which had several entrances and exits, was the Dragon Ball.

Gohan: "The paths through the cave are too narrow, we can't fit through them!"


Son-Goku: "We won't get any further by force, because if the cave collapsed we couldn't do anything either!"


Gohan: "Look! Here comes Pan."


Pan: "Hello everyone! How far are you?"


Gohan: "No further. We can't get through the caves. They are too narrow!"


Pan: "You really don't fit? How about me?"


Son-Goku: "Good idea! You will all fit through there!"


Gohan: "That could work, but it's very deep and breathing apparatus ..."


Son Goku: "No problem!"


Goku got up and teleported to the others.


Chichi: "Oops! Where are you coming from all of a sudden? Do you have the Dragon Ball? Is Pan with you?"


Son-Goku: "Uhh ... Bulma! Do you have something like breathing apparatus?"


Bulma: "Breathing equipment? Is the Dragon Ball really that deep?"


Son Goku: "Yes, do you have any now?"


Bulma: "Hmmm ... let's see ... I still have a lot of capsules, but whether there are breathing devices ... exactly!Here! I believe in the capsule ... yes! Three mini breathing devices for 20 minutes each! "


Son-Goku: "Great! Give it to me! And bye!"


Chichi: "Hey! I asked you ... something!"


Goku was gone again and he was already standing next to Gohan and Pan.


Pan: "Do you have any?"


Son-Goku: "Yes! Exactly three of them!"


Each of them grabbed one and Gohan explained to Pan exactly what to do and where the dragon ball was roughly. He gave her the radar and everyone jumped into the cool water. They dived to an entrance to the cave and Pan went inside. She swam along endless corridors. The Dragon Radar made it easier for her, but she too just fit through the corridors. After about seven minutes she was very close to the dragon ball. She was in a slightly larger cave and looked around for the dragon ball, which was nowhere to be seen. Pan checked the radar again, but what she saw was ... nothing! The dragon ball was gone again and she could only see three!Pan was at a loss. She wanted to turn around and deliver the news to Goku and Gohan, but when she wanted to leave the cave suddenly a seaquake set in and the cave collapsed piece by piece. Pan tried another route to get out of the cave. This passage was wider, but many rocks fell to the ground. The exit was blocked by a huge rock, which, however, was swept away with a relatively weak Kamehameha. She had left the cave, but the seaquake had created a lot of eddies and it was almost impossible to swim through them.


They were Goku and Gohan a little further away. They too had been surprised by the seaquake and had tried to look for Pan, but in the meantime the cave had collapsed completely. The two spotted Pan and swam over to her.


The surface of the lake was blocked by whirlpools, but they knew what to do. Everyone shot a kamehameha to the ground and so they managed to escape the eddies.

Gohan: "What does that mean?"


Pan: "What a bummer! Again no dragon ball!"


Goku: "What? Again?"


Pan: "He disappeared again when I was at the place where the Dragonradar had located him!"


Gohan: "That's impossible!"


Goku: "Either someone is kidding us or ... we have a problem!"


Somewhat sad, they made their way back to the others, but before Pan took off, she noticed that something had fallen out of her t-shirt. It was a small ball just like the brown one, only in blue! Pan thought that was a bit strange, but she decided not to tell the others yet!


The others were also very disappointed! Besides, Bulma hadn't achieved anything with her attempts!


Bulma: "Nothing but bad news !!!!!!!! No Dragon Ball! No escape! I hate this planet !!!!"


Vegeta: "Where's the next dragon ball?"


Gohan: "Somewhere in the west.Probably in a forest! "


Vegeta: "Okay, who's coming with you?"


Goku: "Me! I'm sure Gohan too, right?"


Gohan: "No, I'll try to find out something about the Dragon Balls with Videl, Bulma and Trunks!"


Son-Goths: "And I really don't have any ..."


Son-Goku: "... Lust?"


Chichi: "I think you could call it that too!"


Goku: "Trunks is also canceled ... hmmmm ... Pan?"


Chichi: "Pan is not coming! You risked your life during the diving maneuver! Not again !!!!!!!!"


C18: "Well, I'll come with you then!"


Kuririn: "Sure?"


C18: "Sure!"


Son-Goku: "Good! So the three of us are going!"


Vegeta: "Then why are we still standing here?"
