Episode #2: "Tale Of An Alien Thief: Raditz On The Run!"Venue: Kame House
Attendance: 13,542
~
Bulma Briefs introduces us to the Kame House to open the show. We get pre-match footage of a meet and greet and conference that took place hours before tonight's event. Highlights included
Master Roshi's barely attended wet t-shirt contest and
Oolong's Tofu Bacon Burger Food Truck. It's soon revealed Capsule Corp. has provided Kame House with specialty, sea-sturdy seating to surround the house and provide fans with a unique close-up experience.
~ We're then shown highlights of last week's episode of
Monday Night Brawl, namely
Raditz killing the referee during
Goku and
Piccolo's title match before taking off with both
Gohan and the
WWZ Universal Championship! Once the recap commences, "It's Hip To Be Square" Huey & the News starts pumping its caucasity all over the venue via the PA system.
Mr. Briefs then appears before us on a motorized scooter. Once reaching ringside, a litany of Capsule Corp. bots hoists him into the ring as well as retrieving the CEO his own personal microphone.
Mr. Briefs: "Cut the music! Cappuccino bot, come hither!!!"~ The only brown colored robot sheepishly floats over to Mr. Briefs. Briefs snaps his fingers, crosses his arms and taps his foot while cappuccino bot pours him a hot, frothy java.
Mr. Briefs: "Thank you, Cappuccino bot - now please kindly fuck off. Ladies and gents, you no doubt were witness to the monstrosity that occurred last week, involving shenanigans of the most degenerate degree! An ILLEGAL ALIEN stole official WWZ property - MY property - on MY show! This is not only unacceptable, but went against the very principles this country - the GREATEST country in the world, might I add - was founded on… U-S-A! U-S-A!"~ The audience soon follows in unison as Mr. Briefs rallies them into a bit of a nationalistic frenzy. A tandem of robots are then routed to quell down the 'Muricanism just a few notches.
Mr. Briefs: "So what else is a man - a PROPRIETOR OF REPUTABLE BUSINESS - 'spose to do, eh? Time to rally the big guns! When in doubt, bring other no good immigrants out and about!"~ Then, as if on cue, two alien space pods jettison out from the horizon to hover above Kame House. Mr. Briefs then points his finger above his head in their general direction.
Mr. Briefs: "That's right Raditz, you socialist scum! Your higher up's are finally here! The ink on their new contracts is just now beginning to dry! In other words - I WILL FIND YOU. And when I do.. You're gonna wish that I NEVER had!"~ Our opening segment concludes upon seeing both pods speed off into the distance as Mr. Briefs theme song now starts to replay. The team of robots return to hauling the CEO into the air and away from the venue as the scene cuts to black and we cut to our very first commercial.
~ After the match we reunite with Bulma Briefs for an in-house interview with Goku's visibly distraught wife
Chi-Chi who is being joined in company by her loving father,
Ox-King. She pulls up a missing person's poster with Gohan's face plastered on it while urging everyone in attendance and any viewers at home to please share any info they may have on Raditz or young Gohan's whereabouts. Chi-Chi then flies into uncontrollable sobbing as she falls into her father's arms. Ox-King closes out the interview by detailing the 100,000 zeni reward for any information leading to either Raditz's arrest, Gohan's safe return or both of these scenarios successfully coming to fruition all at once.
~ We're back to the outside of Kame House where Korin & Mr. Popo now inform the audience that our next match we'll continue the WWZ Tag Team Title Tournament which began a week ago when the team of Crane Express (Tien/Chiaotzu) defeated The Wasteland Bandits (Yamcha/Puar).
~ We head back inside of Kame House for an impromptu
Pilaf Gang promo where
Emperor Pilaf is commanding
Mai & Shu to secure him a meeting with Mr. Briefs. He insists there is no other way to obtain the Dragon Balls that they so desperately desire.
~ Oolong returns to his base form and begins protesting the decision to the ref while Ox-King rolls out of the ring and starts high five-ing the crowd by the guardrails. We then cut over to a quick advert promoting a brand new model of industrial Capsule Corp. homes on the go.
~
Goku arrives at the ring on Nimbus Cloud as this animated audience sings along to "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor. The legendary monkey boy turned grown man then cuts a promo where he demands for
Raditz to show his face. He says:
"you can do whatever you want to me, but no one messes with my friends or family! As far as I'm concerned: You're no brother of mine!"~
Piccolo then interrupts the promo at the beach side entrance ramp as he laughs loudly into a mic of his very own:
"You underestimate Gohan's power, Goku… just like you've always underestimated ME! I'm sorry about your. recent genetic blood bath, but don't think I've forgotten about what was ALSO stolen from me: My rightful shot at becoming the very first Champion of the Universe! So either you give me a rematch right now, or I'll make myself a champion by force, no matter whether you live... or you die." ~ Right as Goku and Piccolo are staring each other down nose-to-nose, a flying Capsule Corp. bot then appears and throws a dyno cap by ringside. Once hitting the floor mat, the capsule explodes and suddenly Mr. Briefs appears via the CapsuleTron. Briefs announces that there's only one way to settle a dispute of this magnitude: a triple threat main event match at the upcoming World War Z pay-per-view, where he proposes that Goku, Piccolo and Raditz will all compete to truly determine the first WWZ Universal Champion!
~ Goku and Piccolo strongly object to the proposal until the camera angle on the tron zooms out to show Raditz using one hand to hold a ball of ki energy directly at Mr. Briefs head while holding Gohan by his tail in the other. With the WWZ Universal Title fraudulently strapped around his waist, Raditz bellows out maniacal laughter before reminding his brother and the Namekian that they have no option but to accept. They also have no option when it comes to their next match either, as the camera turns to Briefs who swallows a wad of spit while his forehead nervously sweats:
"I'm sorry, boys... But.... they're here."
~
Vegeta lands a solid haymaker on
Gohan that sends him crashing into the series of bleachers surrounding Kame House. Meanwhile, Goku and Raditz are maintaining a more even post-match of fast punches and even swifter jabs.
Nappa plants his right foot onto the chest of Piccolo before spitting directly on his battered Namekian face. He then lifts his head up to turn towards Vegeta:
"So what do you say, Vegeta!?"Vegeta: "*Hmph*.. I play by no one's rules, Nappa. We're not competing for those Dragon Balls: we're taking them by force!"Nappa: "So what about these bugs... Should we get it over with and just squash 'em!?"Vegeta: "No, that sounds like a Raditz job. Besides... We will be back."~ The scene then fades out as our episode reaches its conclusion upon both the sight of
The Saiyans flying away and Goku finally falling down to an uppercut from his brother Raditz, who now stands tall above the fallen bodies of Gohan, Piccolo and the aforementioned Son Goku! Tune in next week to find out what happens on
W-W-Z!!!
