Zero landed, quite roughly, on the planet of Namek. Zero had come here for one reason, he had heard of mystic balls that could grant any wish, the dragon balls, and with the help of his new dragon radar he was going to find these mysterious balls and have the dragon that lived inside them grant his wish. Zero pulled out the dragon radar and clicked the button on top once and instantly a small glowing blip showed up on the screen. “Yes, found one, and it’s not that far away either.” Zero flew fifty meters in the direction of the small glowing blip and saw that he had made his way to a large open field. Zero searched around the area in which the glowing dot represented. The tall grass of the field made it harder to see where exactly the ball was. Then, zero stumped his toe on something. Zero bent down to pick up the ball and triumphantly held up the ball. “Success.” Zero stashed the ball in his carrying bag and continued on. Zero was happy he had found the ball, now his dreams were one step closer to becoming a reality, this made zero very happy.
Zero continued to walk as he searched for the dragon balls of heaven. Zero walked along the shores of what looked to be a sea or ocean or somebody of water. However, no matter what it was the dragon radar was showing that the next dragon ball was submerged somewhere in the vast liquid. Zero waded through the water at first until the water began to reach his neck. Zero took one last look at the dragon radar and then through it back on shore with the rest of his gear. Zero dived under the water, it was very dark and he couldn’t quite see. Zero held out his hand and made a small ball of Ki that lighted the way. Zero remembered that the ball was about three feet ahead and ten feat down. Zero held the ball of Ki closer as he scanned the area. Then snuggled in a wedge in the floor of the sea was the dragon ball. Zero reached his hand in and ripped out the ball. Zero swam back to the shore, he had just found another dragon ball. Zero put the second ball in his bag with the other and continued to walk along the shore.
The wind blew and the sun shimmered as zero looked out across the open canyon, the next ball was supposedly some were in this canyon. Zero jumped off the ledge of the canyon, zero did a quick flip just for the point of the situation called for it. About half way down the canyon zero stopped himself in midair. The dragon radar said that the ball was right below him. Zero started floating downward. Zero looked at the base of the canyon and thought that the sight of such a beautiful sight shouldn’t have to be secluded to such a confining place. Zero looked around and saw a gleaming shimmer as he neared the third ball. Zero reached out and grabbed the ball. When zero pulled out the ball the effect of him removing the ball from its wedged in spot started an avalanche. Zero evaded each piece of rock that fell, dodging here and there. Eventually zero was able to escape the avalanche and made it safely back to the top of the canyon. Zero placed the ball with the other two he had already collected and flew on to the next location that was indicated by the dragon radar.
Zero walked along a path in the forest as he followed the blipping sound of the dragon radar telling him which direction the next dragon ball was in. zero walked along keeping his pace as quickly as he could, zero didn’t want to spend too much time in this forest. Zero continued to walk until the dragon radar told him he had to leave the comfort of the trail and venture on his own into the thick wilds of the forest. Who knew what could be lurking in these woods, a bear, wolves, demons, monkeys, actually monkeys wouldn’t be that bad of a sight there very playful creatures unless they have a human body. Zero continued to walk until the dragon radar led him straight into a tree. Zero looked up and saw that the dragon balls were smuggled into a large birds nest. Zero climbed the tree and made his way to the branch the dragon balls was on. Once up there zero reached out and grabbed the dragon ball, then a large bird almost twice the size of the nest awoke to find that its dragon balls were being stolen. Zero dropped to the bottom of the tree and ran for his life. The bird was persistent and followed zero all the way back to the trail. Once where he could take a breather zero raised one hand and shot a beam of pure Ki energy at the ferocious bird. The bird evaded the attack floated in the air for a second and then decided the balls weren’t worth the trouble of dying for. “If only it knew what it was good for?” Zero muttered to himself as he continued along the path.
Zero continued along the path in the forest, the dragon radar was showing that the fifth dragon ball was also in the forest. Zero walked along the trail of the forest until he came upon a large cave like structure. Zero looked at the dragon radar and saw that the arrow pointed directly into the cave. The cave was very dark and very spooky. Zero imagined the types of creatures he would see in the cave, then he thought maybe he would just meet a large grizzly bear that would tear him a new one for entering his home, but never the less zero had to have that dragon ball. Zero entered the cave and made a small ball of Ki in his hand for a light. The Ki was a bright pink a lighted the cave very affectively. Zero walked along the cave for a few minutes until he came across a large furry creature. “Crap, it’s a grizzly.” Zero said to himself, and right next to the grizzly was the fifth dragon ball. Zero slowly crept over to the grizzly and grabbed the ball. Zero let out a shriek of excitement as he grabbed the ball. The shriek awoke the grizzly and zero stared at the beast as it stood up to a cowering seven feet tall. Zero ran away in terror as fast as he could. Once outside the cave zero took off and flew away from this dreaded forest. The next ball was about one hundred meters from the forest and zero was happy about that.
Zero flew in the cool breeze of heavens air as he headed to the next location of the sixth dragon ball. Zero noticed that this dragon ball was farther north and the landmasses started to end and the icebergs started to begin. Zero looked at his trusty dragon radar and saw that the dragon ball was about three clicks north of him, “grate it’s about to get even colder.” Zero flew until the dragon radar started to make a short faint beeping sound, this usually meant that he was getting closer to the dragon ball. Zero set himself down smoothly on one of the icebergs and began to walk around. The ice was cold to zero’s feet and he decided that he didn’t want to stay here too long or else he might turn in to a zero sickle. Zero walked a little further and saw that his prize, the sixth dragon ball, was stuck inside a glacier. Zero new this was no problem. Zero stuck one hand to the glacier and began to run Ki energy into his hand warming it, making a sort of heater to melt the surrounding ice. It took about three minutes for the whole process to finish but at the end zero reached his hand in and grabbed the dragon ball. Triumphant zero stuck the dragon ball into his bag with the others and flew off in the direction of the next dragon ball.
Zero flew towards the main city of Heaven and noticed that the market place was right on top of were the dragon radar was showing the dragon ball to be. Zero flew down and landed in the middle of the bazaar. Zero walked around and saw that there was a flier for “one mystical magical white ball with green stars”. Zero new exactly what the flier was talking about. Zero hurried to the shack that the flier said the ball would be in. zero arrived at the shack but saw that the line was enormously long. Zero, being a smart cookie decided to go around back and sneak into the tent. Success, zero was inside the tent. Once inside zero saw the ball that was on display in the middle of the room with no protective casing what so ever. Zero stride over to be the ball lay and casually grabbed the ball stuck it in his bag as fast as he could and walked out of the tent. Zero now had all seven of the dragon balls his mission was a success. With all seven balls in place zero decided to wait till tomorrow to summon the great dragon Parunga, who was the dragon who appeared out of the Namekian dragon balls.
That night as Zero lay in his ship he could not sleep a wink for the thought of someone coming in and stealing them. Zero got up and went towards the monitor and flipped on the screen and flipped over to the galaxy news station. There was nothing on really he just sat and watched the channels flip past as he watched the screen not even noticing what was on. As he sat in the chair at console and then he heard a strange voice enter his head, “I’m glad I was able to meet you.” The voice wrung threw his head.
“King Kai?”
“Yes my boy, it is I King Kai. I need to tell you something very important.”
“Well…”
“I heard there is a position open for a new god up here in heaven, all the old Kai’s are gone and there isn’t a single person to fill the spots. However, that Cyril fellow has become one of them now and it seems he is only rivaled by that Amaterasu girl.”
“Yea, so, what does all this mean for me?”
“What I’m trying to tell you if you will listen to me is that I think you would benefit from an opportunity to become a kai.”
“How about I will think about it and I’ll get back to you on it.”
“Fine but am expecting an answer very soon.” The voice left zero’s head. As zero sat there in his favorite chair he thought about the benefits of becoming a god. As he sat he flipped continuously threw the channels when he came along an add on the screen, It was a small advertisement with a picture of some Kai giving one a thumbs up with the caption, “New Gods of Creation needed! Keep your nose clean and remember, you could be the next great deity!” zero raised his brow. A god, eh? He was still very unsure of this. Maybe that would be a nice one up on Cyril and Ryuzaki. Zero looked over the requirements and smiled, he meet most of the requirements and wasn’t too far from meeting the last one. Eh, maybe. Becoming a god would give him plenty of very strong abilities which would significantly level the playing field. Perhaps this would be his first goal? Zero drummed his fingers along the arm of the chair. “Perhaps this god thing would be a good idea for the time being that is.” Zero mentally tried to contact king Kai but apparently he was busy. Zero leaned back in the chair and waited for the sun to rise.
