27. The solution?




The three were gone. They wondered what to expect this time. They flew for a long time. There was almost nothing among them, except for the endless sea! But then first a desert appeared and finally a huge forest! They landed and immediately started looking! The dragon radar led them in pretty deep and into a strange place. Actually it was like paradise, because a beautiful waterfall ... and what else you need to be happy! They searched for the dragon ball with more or less patience. Several hours passed and the heat was becoming unbearable. Son Goku, who was looking near the waterfall, decided to take a little bath. He was swimming a little at the bottom of the waterfall when he noticed that there was a cave behind the waterfall. Actually, that was the perfect hiding place for a dragon ball! He went into the cave and looked a little when he suddenly saw a golden ball between two stones.Inside were four silver stars. Since Goku didn't have a dragon radar with him (Vegeta had grabbed it), he didn't know 100% whether it was the dragon ball, but what else could it be?


Since Son-Goku couldn't find an answer, he grabbed the ball and pulled it out of the two rocks with all his might.


Son-Goku: "Looks strange. Whether this is really a Dragonball? Hmmm ... may be possible, but why golden? Probably all Dragonball have different characteristics. The Namekian Dragonballs were bigger than the earthly ones and the Black Star Dragonballs had black ones Stars inside and that strange second effect ... "


Vegeta: "Do you want to stand around and talk to yourself or do you want to tell us that you found the Dragon Ball!"


Son-Goku: "Oh ... you're there too ... don't you think that the Dragon Ball is somehow strange ..."


Son-Goku didn't finish the sentence, because the dragon ball suddenly started to glow and ... disappeared!

C18: "He's gone!"


Son-Goku: "Well, Bravo! Now we have another problem!"


Vegeta: "I'm getting angry! If I catch the guy who's kidding us here, I'll ..."


Son-Goku: "But in the end that won't do us any good either. Now we have to find out why the dragon balls are disappearing."


C18: "Do you hear that too?"


Son Goku: "What?"


C18: "Sounds strange ..."


Son Goku: "Do you mean the crackling?"


The three ran to the exit of the cave, but when they tried to leave the cave through the waterfall, they saw something incredible. The whale was blazing and, strangely enough, the water and the whole waterfall too, so that in front of them a huge wall of fire appeared at the end of the cave.


Goku: "Since when has water been burning?"


C18: "It all starts to seem Spanish to me!"


Vegeta: "Great, now the water is already burning! It couldn't get any better!"


Son-Goku: "I see that too, but now we have to get out of here first."

Vegeta: "I don't think that's the problem, but if we come back without a Dragon Ball ...!"


C18: "At least now we know what these dragon balls look like."


Son-Goku: "That’s good, but it’s useless, because the last Dragon Ball will certainly disappear when we find it ..."


Vegeta: "Your theory is very interesting Kakarot, but I think we should better fly and try to extinguish the fire from the outside ..."


Getting through the wall of flames wasn't that much of a problem, but they still had no idea how to put out the fire.


C18: "There is enough water. At most we can try to bring the water here."


Son Goku: "And how?"


Vegeta: "Hmm ... if we can create a tidal wave with our energy, we could put out the fire."


Son Goku: "Great idea!"


The three flew to the nearest lake and, with the help of their energies, created a huge tidal wave that would soon bury the flames under itself (they hoped).

The wave raced toward the forest and poured over him, but what happened was quite the opposite of what they had hoped for. The water did not put out the fire, but the water turned to fire and the forest burned even more violently!


C18: "Great! Now we really have a problem!"


Vegeta: "Then we just have to try to put out the fire with energy waves!"


Son Goku: "Only with energy? Will it work out?"


Vegeta: "Do you have a better idea, Kakarot?"


The three gathered their energy and tried to extinguish the fire with the energy waves. At first it seemed like it made no sense, but over time the fire dwindled and a burnt black forest was left behind!


C18: "Without a Dragon Ball again ... are we going back?"


Vegeta: "I don't think there's anything else here that we'd be interested in!"


They made their way back ... empty-handed again. Vegeta flew ahead, C18 and Goku followed him.Son-Goku stared at the forest and didn't notice that Vegeta and C18 were getting further and further away. But his gaze was fixed on a spot where something was blinking. He flew towards this blinking something and the closer he got, the more clearly he could see that it was a sphere. A little red ball.


Son-Goku: "Great, that's the only thing left of the forest ..."


Goku looked a little sad. He stared at the ball, which lit up briefly and suddenly the forest was green again and the waterfall looked exactly the same as before. Goku made a long face.


Son-Goku: "What kind of planet is that? ... I think I'd rather take the ball with me!"


He was about to put the bullet in when it ran away at an insane speed!


Son-Goku: "Hey! Stop! You won't escape me like this !!!!!!"


Goku followed the ball. He did not want to let her escape under any circumstances!


Vegeta and 18 had meanwhile reached the others.

Bulma: "Do you have it?"


Vegeta: "Almost ..."


Kuririn: "What does that mean?"


C18: "Son-Goku found it in a cave. It was silver with gold stars ... but then ... it disappeared, ... it was lying in a cave behind a waterfall and when it disappeared the waterfall suddenly burned and the forest that surrounded it ... we wanted to put out the fire with water from a lake, but even the water started to burn ... we then put out the fire with waves of energy, but ... we don't have the dragon ball ... Unfortunately!"


Videl: "None again?"


Pan: "Um ... tell me where is grandpa?"


Vegeta: "Hmm ... Kakarot? When we flew here, he was still behind us ..."


Chichi: "Oh this man! You can't leave him alone for a second!"


Gohan: "I'll have a look where he is ... there is sure to be a Gr ..."


Gohan stopped, because at that moment Goku flew over their heads at a rapid pace. He's still chasing that bullet.Gohan, Goten and Pan flew quickly after him. They struggled to catch up with Goku.


Gohan: "Tell me dad, where are you going?"


Son-Goths: "Are you chasing the bullet? All right?"


Son-Goku: "Yes, ... the ball ..."


Gohan: "What does the ball mean?"


Son-Goku: "It appeared when the Dragon Ball disappeared ..."


Now all four tried to catch the bullet. Son-Goten flew in front of her and almost caught her ... no one had a chance, but over time the ball slowed down and suddenly stopped in midair and fell to the ground.


Son Goku: "What's that supposed to be?"


Gohan: "It's a bit strange ..."


Pan: "Give the ball here ... funny ... I already have two of them!"


Son-Goths: "What? Where from?"


Pan: "I found the first one after the volcanic eruption. It's a brown ball. The second one got caught in my T-shirt when we were looking for the dragon ball in the water. It was a blue ball ..."

Son-Goku: "And we found the red one through the fire ..."


Pan: "Look! There comes Ma!"


Videl: "Well I finally found you guys! Chichi was worried! ... what kind of balls are those?"


They told Videl the whole story. She was clearly amazed, but what you could understand!


Gohan: "It all seems so strange to me ..."


Videl: "But there is definitely some connection!"


Son-Goten: "Definitely, but ... what kind of one?"


Videl: "Hey! Think about it! You found the red ball when this fire broke out, ... the blue one when you were looking for the dragon ball in the water and ..."


Gohan: "... and the brown one, when the volcano erupted ... and lava is rock, something like earth and ..."


Pan: "In my opinion, fire, water and earth are three of the elements ..."


Goku: "Yes! And there are only four Dragon Balls if we can trust the Dragon Radar."

Son-Goten: "But think about it! If the tests or what these dangers mean have something to do with the elements, then only the element air remains."


Videl: "You say it ..."
