minutes later the fortune teller floated down from the sky on her crystal ball and stopped in front of her brother.


"Thank you for coming so quickly!"


"I just had nothing to do. What's up?" asked Uranai Baba.


"Look at that! Vegeta tried to transform into an armed monkey, but something went wrong! I think someone else had a hand in that!"

The fortune teller turned her crystal ball around and gave a startled scream!


"Indeed, this is really not normal! Let's see ..."


She got off her orb and muttered a magical incantation. Then she looked into your magic ball.


"Aaah .... Vegeta fell victim to a curse!" she said then.


"A curse?" shouted Muten Roshi and Kuririn at the same time.


"To be more precise, he was a victim of the shadow curse! Somebody botched his handicraft in his transformation!"


"And who?" Gohan wanted to know.


"I can't see that in my sphere! But this curse can only come from the underworld, from a demon!"


"So from hell! -And how can you undo this curse?" asked the master of the turtles.


"First of all, the person who cast the curse has to be found!"


"Ouch! We can look for a long time! Vegeta has enough enemies in Hell!" swallowed Kuririn.

"Uranai Baba, ask Master Kaio for advice! Let him find the culprit! In the meantime we will try to catch Vegeta and take his tail off! Maybe that will help!"


"The latter won't be of any use, brother! The curse cannot simply be eradicated by this! This is not to be trifled with! But I'll consult with Master Kaio about what we can do!


"All right, good luck, sister!"


Uranai Baba mounted your crystal ball again and floated away.




"How's it going?" asked Bulma. "Can we help Vegeta?"


Muten Roshi gave a brief explanation of what his sister had found out.


"What? A curse? Great!"


"The next problem is, we have to catch Vegeta!" declared the master of the turtles. "It sure can't be caught without a fight!" swallowed Kuririn.


"Don't worry, I'll do it. Kuririn, Gohan, Goten, Trunks-you are ready!We circle him and then we snap! "Explained Son-Goku. Those called nodded.


"The way he behaves, we will have to tie him up! Tie him up well!" noted Kuririn.


"We'll try it this way first."




Vegeta hadn't moved so far. In a crouched, crouching position, he watched the people and never let them out of his sight.


"Are you okay, Trunks?" Goku asked the boy. He nodded.


"I'll help you. You need all help here!" explained Bulma's son.


"Better wrap your new appendage around your waist ... like this. Then your tail is difficult to reach for an attack. That's how the Sayajins carry it too."




Son-Goku gave his sons, Kuririn and Trunks a few brief instructions, then the friends rose into the air and fanned out. Vegeta stared at the sky, growling, but made no move to take off as well.


"It seems like he's lost all his fighting skills and he's not as strong as before!" remarked Gohan.

"Hence the changed aura! Vegeta is just not the same anymore! And his thoughts are those of a scary animal! That makes it easier for us!" answered Goku.


At his signal, all four landed again at the same time, two in front and two behind Vegeta. Now they had him the pliers! But soon the friends should experience your blue miracle!


"Gohan! Kuririn! Go!" Son-Goku called to the two of them who were standing on the edge of the gorge.


"On him with a roar!" Kuririn called and both jumped at Vegeta from behind! They got him by the shoulders and wanted to pull him to the ground, but the transformed Sayajin threw himself back with all his might and pushed his opponents away! Kuririn crashed to the ground, Gohan caught himself in flight, otherwise he would have fallen down the gorge!


"He may have lost his fighting skills, but he is still incredibly strong! And his animal ferocity makes them even worse!" he shouted.

"Now it's our turn, Trunks, go!"


Both rushed towards Vegeta, but he just dived away shortly before the collision and both attackers shot into space!


"What a bummer! Damn it, it's fast! It hasn't lost its incredible maneuverability!" growled Son-Goku. "Goten, watch out, he's coming towards you!"


Gohan's younger brother had armed himself with a thick, long branch which he held in his fists like a fighting stick.


"Stand still, Vegeta! Otherwise you will feel my staff!" shouted the boy, but the creature didn't stop its attack. When Goten shot his staff forward, Vegeta grabbed one end and bit into it, growling! In the next moment the branch broke through with a loud crack!


"Damn it!" cursed Goten. A targeted quick blow with Vegeta's hand and a hard kick in the side sent the boy to the ground, leaving four bloody scratches on his right cheek!

"Son-Goths!" shouted Chichi in horror.


"Everything okay, mother!"


Next even C18 tried it together with Kuririn from two sides - with the result that Vegeta was faster again, dodged upwards with a huge leap and both of them collided with their heads! Both lay whimpering.


"Ouch ... that damn Vegeta! I had completely forgotten that I am no longer a real cyborg!" complained the fair-haired woman.


"But your skull is still pretty hard like that!" whined Kuririn.


"Vegeta! Now it's enough!" shouted Son-Goku angrily, turned into a Super-Sayajin and flew towards him! Then he took him in flight in his arms and rose with him. Vegeta began to roar and rage in Goku's grip, a whipping blow of his tail hit Goku's calf. Next, the creature bit him hard on the arm several times! Goku cried out in pain, but didn't loosen his grip on the clamp. Then Vegeta suddenly jerked his head back and his hard skull hit the face of his opponent!Immediately afterwards, two more blows followed with unimagined force! Goku screamed when he felt blood spurt out of his nose and let go of Vegeta! He did not notice that both were floating over the abyss of the gorge! So the friends had to watch as Vegeta fell with a horrible howl!


"Father!!" shouted Trunks in horror and rushed to the slope. But he only got hold of Goku, who had now also lost consciousness and was about to fall. By the time he had pulled him on safe ground, Vegeta had already disappeared from his field of vision.




He then flew quickly down into the gorge to look for signs of life from his father, while Chichi and Bulma looked for Son Goku upstairs.


"Oh no! Vegeta! Did he survive the fall?" asked Bulma.


"It's hard to say in his current state ..." Gohan muttered gloomily.


"My poor dad ..." cried Bra. Marron took her in his arms and tried to comfort her.



"Ooh ... man, Vegeta has a hard head ... where is he?" Goku groaned and looked around.


"When you suddenly let go of him, he fell down the gorge! Now he can no longer even fly!" replied Bulma sadly. "Trunks is down and searching the gorge!"


"Oh no!"


Goku tried to get to his feet, but his skull was still buzzing from Vegeta's head blows.


"Slow down, my love!" admonished Chichi. "Your nose hasn't stopped bleeding!"


She held a cotton ball under her husband's damaged nose.


"Man, Vegeta almost broke my nose! He really has an iron-hard skull!"




Trunks had now returned.


"Did you find him?" asked Bulma. Her son shook his head sadly.


"Just this. It was hanging on one of the rocks." answered the boy.


He showed his mother a scrap of blue cloth that came from Vegeta's pants.

"I've tried to locate his aura - to no avail. It's like the curse is shielding you!"


"He surely fell into the river and was carried away by the current!" explained Muten Roshi.


"Then we have a problem! A few kilometers further the river divides into three arms and forms the great delta before it flows into the sea!" remarked Gohan.


"Oh no! The current could have driven it anywhere! The delta is a large swamp with mangrove forests!" Kuririn groaned. "This is going to be a needle in a haystack search!"


"Then we will split up! Kuririn, your wife, my two boys and Trunks will search the river and the delta! We proceed as follows: Kuririn, you search the northern delta with 18C, Goten and Gohan take the middle one, Delta vor and I and Trunks the main arm of the river and the southern delta! Whoever finds Vegeta makes himself noticeable! Don't get too close yourself, in his current state he is vicious and unpredictable!We have to try together to get hold of him and bring him back! By then, I hope Master Kaio has found a solution to our problem! "


"All right!" The instructed nodded.


"I will accompany you!"


"No, Bulma! Your glider is making too much noise! ​​If Vegeta hears him, he'll flee immediately! He's reacting like a wild animal now!" explained Gohan.


"Hey, sometimes it's good that you study." grinned his father. "Your knowledge is very helpful!"


Chichi nodded in agreement.


"You are right, Gohan. Then we will wait here for you." explained Bulma.


"Tell me, can't you use your current teleportation to get to Vegeta?"


"Unfortunately that is not possible now, Kuririn, the curse has swallowed its aura! I cannot locate you!"


"Wretched botch! That means searching everything meticulously!"


"Exactly. We have no other choice."



"Big brother, I want to go with you!" shouted Bra, tugging at his jacket.


"No, that's too dangerous!"


"Please please!"


Goku, whose nose had stopped bleeding in the meantime, crouched down in front of Bra.


"Trunks is right." he said gently. "Besides, I and Trunks can
