Come Forth, Shenron
The sound of waves crashing and receding echoed continuously as they washed up onto the shore. On a lush, green island, seagulls soared freely through the sky, occasionally perching on the tall trees to rest, preening their feathers and letting out a few clear, resonant cries.
At the center of the island stood a towering volcano, but it was merely a dormant one, likely inactive for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Meanwhile, a golden cloud and a black cloud hovered above the volcano, with two figures standing atop the clouds.
It was Goku and Yuujin!
"Let's begin, Goku."
Putting away the Dragon Radar, Yuujin spoke to Goku beside him.
"Okay!"
Goku nodded, clasped he hands together, then slowly moved them to his waist—
"Kame…hame…ha…!!!"
A dazzling beam of energy shot forth as Goku launched a powerful energy wave.
The wave traced an arc through the air before plunging straight into the volcano's crater.
Boom… boom… boom…
Before long, the entire island began to shake, and with a sudden roar, a torrent of scorching red lava erupted from the crater!
"Squawk, squawk, squawk!"
The birds cried out in unison, and all the animals on the island fled toward the coastline in a panic.
Thick smoke billowed as volcanic rocks shot into the air like cannonballs. Yuujin and Goku, riding on the Black Nimbus and the Golden Nimbus respectively, dodged in the air while scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes.
At a certain moment, Yuujin seemed to spot something, and his eyes lit up—
"I found it!"
Darting forward on the Black Nimbus, he reached out and grabbed a Dragon Ball that had just been ejected from the volcano.
It was a seven-star Dragon Ball, still scorching hot from the eruption. Even Yuujin couldn't help but frown as he channeled his energy into his hand to cool it down.
"Oh, oh…"
"We found it! We found the last Dragon Ball!"
Goku flew over, bouncing and cheering on the Flying Nimbus.
Yuujin also felt a surge of excitement. With this Dragon Ball, they now had all seven!
Boom!!!
At that moment, more lava spewed out from the volcano, flowing down the mountain and igniting a fierce wildfire across the island. Animals screamed and fled, and it seemed like the entire island would be destroyed if this continued.
With a wave of his hand, Yuujin launched an energy blast that struck the volcano, causing it to collapse and stopping the flow of lava.
Although the volcanic eruption had been halted, the fire on the island continued to spread. Yuujin took out the Banana Fan from his back and waved it three times toward the island below—
"Banana Fan!!!"
A fierce wind blew, and the sky rapidly filled with dark clouds, followed by a downpour.
The intense heat of the lava gradually cooled, and the forest fire was soon extinguished.
Before long, the wind died down, the rain stopped, and the sunlight returned.
The island was once again teeming with life, and the animals let out cries of relief after their narrow escape from disaster.
After putting the Banana Fan back, the Black Nimbus and Flying Nimbus slowly descended, and Yuujin and Goku landed on the island.
"Yuujin, Yuujin, should we summon Shenron now?"
Goku asked eagerly.
"Yes, let's summon Shenron. Take out the other Dragon Balls."
Patting Goku's head, Yuujin replied.
"Okay!"
Goku took several Dragon Balls out of a small bag, then removed the three-star ball that Master Roshi had given her from around his neck. Including the one they had just found, there were exactly seven!
It had been nearly two years since Yuujin and Goku left Mount Paozu to continue their quest for the Dragon Balls. Because Bulma's Dragon Radar was not very precise, and since they were training while searching for the Dragon Balls, it had taken them quite a long time.
But they had finally gathered them all!
Thinking that they were about to summon the legendary Shenron and make a wish, Yuujin felt both excited and expectant.
"Yuujin, what should we do now?"
Goku asked, looking a bit puzzled as he gazed at the seven glowing Dragon Balls.
"We should step back a bit."
"Oh."
Both of them retreated a short distance, and Yuujin took a deep breath—
"Come forth, Shenron!"
With all his strength, Yuujin shouted the incantation to summon Shenron.
However—
"Yuujin, why isn't anything happening?"
After waiting for a while, Goku asked in confusion, and Yuujin felt a bit embarrassed too.
The Dragon Balls were genuine, and the incantation should be correct. Was there something else he needed to do?
Just as Yuujin began to doubt himself, a change finally occurred.
The clouds rolled in, quickly shrouding the entire sky. The world darkened as if it had turned to night. Simultaneously, the seven Dragon Balls emitted a blinding light, and with a tremendous roar, a massive figure entwined with lightning burst forth from the Dragon Balls!
At the same time, the world fell into chaos—
Waves surged, a startled bird dropped its prey and flew back to its nest in a panic; in the city, traffic came to a standstill as people honked their horns non-stop; at an observatory, scientists were in shock, urgently tracking the source of this astonishing phenomenon…
Kame House—
"Master Roshi, the news says that a massive black cloud has suddenly covered the entire world. Do you know what's going on?"
Gohan asked, stepping out of Kame House to find Master Roshi standing by the sea.
"I don't know. Even I have never witnessed such a remarkable phenomenon."
Gazing into the distance, Master Roshi's expression was solemn.
Korin Tower—
"Someone has finally gathered the Dragon Balls again…"
Karin murmured to himself as he stroked his whiskers.
The Lookout—
"Something terrible has happened, Kami-sama! Kami-sama!"
Mr. Popo called out as he ran.
"I'm aware."
Holding a wooden staff, the elderly Kami slowly emerged from the temple and stepped to the edge to look down at the Earth—
"For the first time in centuries, someone has summoned Shenron again."
"Let's hope they don't use Shenron's power to harm humanity, otherwise…"
To be continued...
