RESURRECTION PART I ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After Leviathan is "sent to another dimension" [snort] in the FanFic "Final Mission", the Rangers, and the Rangerphiles (along with a few guests) try to revive Leviathan using the infamous Dragon Balls. Chaos ensuses in the Coffeehouse and beyond in a thread called... "Resurrection"! [Note: All thread replies were put in order by the time and date posted.] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ============================================================================ Resurrection Monday, 07-Feb-2000 09:25:48 The Ranger Coffeehouse stood silent. All 7 Dragon Balls had been gathered, and had been placed in the middle of the large building. Now all of the Rangers, Triple-S (who had decided to come and FINALLY visit the Coffeehouse--his first comment upon seeing the inside was to drop his jaw in awe), Kat, and Kuwani were gathered together and preparing to call upon the Eternal Dragon. "You ready, Stephen?" Kuwani asked. "Let's rock," was Strider's reply. "Just remember, this was your idea," Kuwani said, grinning impishly. She turned to the Dragon Balls, and raised her hands. "Oh great Eternal Dragon, we implore you to arise and grant our wish!" The Dragon Balls began to glow, and the Coffeehouse began to shake. Suddenly, a large yellow beam shot out of the spheres, and very slowly it took the shape of a large dragon. "You have gathered all seven Dragon Balls and summoned me, the Eternal Dragon," he announced in a deep voice. "I will grant you one wish, as long as it is within my power." "We wish for..." Kuwani looked back at the rest of the group, and seeing approving nods, continued the wish... Triple-S ============================================================================ Getting right to the point, eh? Monday, 07-Feb-2000 18:00:29 And here I thought we'd get to actually -see- your reaction to the Coffeehouse ;) (BTW, how'd you get there?) ------- Kuwani turned back toward the Dragon. "We wish for the grey mouse known as Leviathan to brought to this dimension, alive." *So be it! It shall be done!* Everybody looked on in anticipation. Kat hoped Kuwani had phrased the wish correctly. Kuwani gave Triple-S an annoyed look, which could be interpretted as a "this had better work" or "this wouldn't have been necessary if..." look. Kat ============================================================================ Re: Resurrection 07-Feb-2000 21:27:19 Right at that moment, Vegeta arrives, still questing for eternal life. He sees no challengers there, just a bunch of animals, so he starts looking for the person who summoned the Great Dragon, so he can dispach them and get eternal life. After looking around for a few seconds he sees nobody there, so he approaches the Great Dragon, who refuses to grant his wish of eternal life, meanwhile the Rangers, who was stunned since the appearance of the Dragon, and even more so at the arrival of this powerful foe, have to think fast before Vegeta realizes just who summoned the Dragon....... JEF ============================================================================ There's one in every crowd: Monday, 07-Feb-2000 22:15:42 Wiseguy leaned over and whispered to AtticRat, "I would have wished for Ranger Toys!" AtticRat, who was still delusional and believed himself to be a superhero, felt this comment was not superheroish enough, and ignored him. The Eternal Dragon, having extremely acute hearing and a fondness for the old Rescue Rangers series, adopted a thoughtful look. "Hmmm..." The dragon then smiled and: Karl ============================================================================ And. . . Monday, 07-Feb-2000 22:19:41 [...unWARP!!!] Good evening. ************ . . .and a Jaguar entered the coffehouse again. Upon seeing the enourmous dragon, and a strange humanoind, his fur stood on end, and he extended his claws. "Excuse me, what's going on here?" ************* Until next time, remember: I AM THE J.A.M. Good evening. [WARP!!!] ============================================================================ All right, let me try my hand at this. . . Monday, 07-Feb-2000 23:33:18 Wow. My first coffehouse thread reply. I'm so excited! Ahem. . . ---- Suddenly the action ceases as a lone figure inhabits the doorway. Nobody speaks or moves an inch as his pudgy frame approaches the Eternal Dragon. "What is your one wish, small one?" the dragon bellows. "I, uh, just wanna candy bar." A large Milky Way appears on the ground and is picked up by the figure, who smiles deliriously. Mole then toddles out of the coffehouse and everybody lets out a long breath. The action then continues. . . ------ My first try. Mister Kerr ============================================================================ You didn't wish for a RR movie?!? What were you thinking?!? Tuesday, 08-Feb-2000 02:54:28 Chipper ============================================================================ Oh, boy... Tuesday, 08-Feb-2000 12:28:43 "Oh, great! Now how do we get Leviathan back?" Strider exclaimed. Triple-S ============================================================================ Re: Oh, boy... Tuesday, 08-Feb-2000 16:33:09 The Eternal Dragon simply replies, "You have already used your wish on a candy bar. To summon me once again for another wish, you must find the seven Dragon Balls once again. But for now, farewell. . ." The dragon suddenly explodes into a dazzling array of light beams, which are consumed by the seven spheres. Everyone watches in amazement as the balls then lift off the ground and fly in different directions. One knocks into Vegeta and knocks him out. Soon, the balls are gone and everybody else in the coffeehouse(the Rangers, Kat, Kuwani, Triple-S, AtticRat, WiseGuy, and a jaguar newcomer)cannot speak. After a few moments pass, Strider, undaunted, says, "C'mon. We have to get the Dragon Balls back!" And so the quest begins again. . . Mister Kerr ============================================================================ LOL!! Tuesday, 08-Feb-2000 17:33:15 Disregard my 1st post, then; this is getting interesting. ----- Gadget pulled a Dragon Radar out of her pocket and looks at it. Chip looked at her and asked, "Where did you get -that-, Gadget?" "Yeah, and what -is- it?" asked Dale "Oh, I just borrowed this from TPL. It can trace the unique energy output generated by the Dragonballs." Gadget explained. "In other words, it can tell ya where to find the Dragonballs." Kat clarified. "Oh." the boys declared in unison. Kat looks up and sees El J.A.M. "Hiya, J.A.M.! Wanna help us find the Dragonballs?" "Or pummel Mole conconscious?" quipped Kuwani. "Kuwani! Behave!" scolded Kat. "But he used the Wish. And what did he wish for? A STUPID candy bar!!" the Tari ranted an fumed. "Cool your jets, Kuwani...it's no big deal. After we recover the Dragonballs again, somebody else can wish Leviathan back--no problem!" Chip, Dale, and Monty gasped upon hearing those last two Dreaded Words. Instinctively, they dove for cover. Kat ============================================================================ Oops! Typo snuck in there. 08-Feb-2000 18:06:50 "Or pummel Mole -conconscious-?" quipped Kuwani. That should have read "unconscious" ;P Kat ============================================================================ To find the Dragon Balls: Tuesday, 08-Feb-2000 20:36:37 Wiseguy began, "Well, if dragons are like everyone else, they keep their b-- MNPH!" AtticRat, who knew Wiseguy well, had slapped his paw over the verbose vermin's vocal vileness. "Let us just follow Gadget's dragon radar device, shall we?" AtticRat reprimanded him. Wiseguy nodded his head, or tried to. For a little guy, AtticRat was pretty strong. All that climbing, you know. So they joined the group gathered around Gadget, and saw... Karl ============================================================================ Re: To find the Dragon Balls: Tuesday, 08-Feb-2000 23:30:02 [...unWARP!!!] Good evening. ************* . . .a radar-like device which had a small screen. In the screen were 7 blinking dots. "Well, this shouldn't be too hard," commented the Jaguar. "I'm game, how 'bout the rest of you?" ************* Until next time, remember: I AM THE J.A.M. Good evening. [WARP!!!] ============================================================================ Location, Location, Location Tuesday, 08-Feb-2000 23:54:47 Gadget peered at the readout of the display. "Hmm... According to this radar the seven balls are located in different realms, corresponding to the name of the Dragon Ball. The Ball of Fire is located in a volcano, the Ball of Ice is near a glacier, the Ball of Urban is in the city, the Ball of Wind is on a mountain, the Ball of Darkness is deep underground, the Ball of Power is located within a strong castle, and lastly the Ball of Cheese is situated inside of a cheese factory." At the words of the location of the last Dragon Ball, Monty's ears perked up. "A chu-heeze factory?" Mister Kerr ============================================================================ Ball of -cheese-?!? LOL!! Wednesday, 09-Feb-2000 17:28:31 Have you been watching "Ronin Warriors"? ------ "Uh, shouldn't we do something about that dude?" asked Shake'a Bake'a as he pointed toward Vegeta, who was still lying on the floor. Lawhiney looked at the Saiyan prince and snorted. "What did Bulma ever see in -him-?" she commented while shaking her head. "I was thinking 'What did Vegeta ever see in Bulma' myself." commented Kat as she cautiously rolled the Saiyan over. "No tail...that means he's already been to Earth." "Judging by his armor, he's already been to Namek, too." commented Shadow. Everybody looks at the grey mouse, surprised by his Dragonball Z knowledge. Shadow shrugged, "My Writer likes Trunks, and since Vegeta -is- his father..." "Okay, we get the point." Kuwani said with a bored tone. Just teleport him away, Kat" "Where to? Earth?" asked the cat-earred human. "Can't send him to Namek; it's not there anymore." declared Shadow with a wink. "Well, you -could- but, it might make Shadow's Writer VERY mad." quipped Lawhiney. "We dont' want -that-! Earth it is..." sighed Kat. Kat teleports him away. "Now, let's get those Dragonballs! Rescue Rangers, AWAY!!" shouted Chip. Kat ============================================================================ And Then..... Wednesday, 09-Feb-2000 19:59:04 While examining Vegeta, unnoticed by the group, Puar and Oolong, size up the Rangers and realize the only way they can get the Dragonballs back and resurrect their dead friends (there is always someone dead in DBZ) is to steal the dragon radar from Gadget, distract the group, and slip away. So the shape changers morph into the likenesses of Gadget and Dale, and then they slip into the group unnoticed..... JEF ============================================================================ The Plot Thickens... Thursday, 10-Feb-2000 11:13:29 Strider looked over the situation. The Dragon Balls had been used by Mole to wish for a candy bar. Now the D-Balls resided in seven different areas of the Dragon Planet, and the only way to get them back was to work together. "All of us have to work together to get the Dragon Balls back. We have to put aside any differences we have to get Leviathan back. Now, I say we split up and each take an area; bring the Dragon Ball back here when you get it. I'll take the city area; who's going with me?" Just then, Strider looked over the group. "And am I just seeing things, or do I see two Gadgets and Dales?" Triple-S ============================================================================ The Plot Sickens... Thursday, 10-Feb-2000 13:37:41 Suddenly aware that there were now two of her, Gadget dropped the radar in surprisement. She regained her composure quickly;after all, she'd seen many look-alikes of her before, but before she could pick up the Dragon Radar again the other Gadget snatched it from beneath her. "Hey, that's not yours!" Gadget exclaimed as she grabbed back the radar. "Is too mine!" said the other Gadget, and a scuffle ensued. "I'll take care o' this," said Monterey. He then stood right over the fight scene and grabbed the Dragon Radar from in-between the duo. "Good work, Monterey!" Chip proclaimed. "Now that just leaves the choice of what to do with the imposters." "Yeah, as well as telling which ones *are* the imposters!" Mister Kerr ============================================================================ "Easy," said the Jaguar. "The real ones have the original signature scent." Thursday, 10-Feb-2000 23:36:23 The J.A.M. ============================================================================ Ok, let me get this story unstuck Tuesday, 15-Feb-2000 20:25:44 [...unWARP!!!] Good evening. ************ The Jaguar thus slowly padded next to the two Gadgets and the two Dales. One Gadget smelled of contact glue, machine oil, and strawberries, amd one Dale smelled of chocolate and walnuts. The other Gadget and Dale smelled of-- Making another pass just to make sure he had them right, the Panther suddenly grabbed whom he knew to be the faux Rangers. Holding them aloft by their necks, just barely extending his claws so they knew he more than meant business, he growled, "All right, who are you????!!!" In an act of desperation, the faux Gadget smashed the Tracking Device on the Jaguar's head. As the feline toppled to the floor, he released the two fakes, who then ran for their lives. Naturally, complete chaos ensued . . . . ************ Until next time, remember: I AM THE J.A.M. Good evening. [WARP!!!] ============================================================================ Yah, now it's JAM'ed! Tuesday, 15-Feb-2000 21:24:10 Puar and Oolong ran headlong into Attic Rat and Wiseguy who without thinking, grabbed at them. Realizing he had one arm wrapped around what appeared to be a lovely young mousette, Attic Rat immediately let her go - stammering apologies. Wiseguy had no such scruples, and held onto "her" legs tightly. Attic Rat felt he could continue restraining "Dale", under the circumstances. That task was rapidly becoming more difficult, in fact... He looked up at the group and asked, "What do I do now?" Karl ============================================================================ "KNOCK THEM OUT!!!" yelled the groggy Jaguar. Tuesday, 15-Feb-2000 21:41:16 The J.A.M. ============================================================================ After the two evildoers were disposed of: Wednesday, 16-Feb-2000 23:36:40 Sealed in a mayonaise jar and shipped parcel post to Earth. Puar and Oolong were very tired of each other's company by the time they got there. In the meantime, our heroic team had leaped to the top of this message board in a single bound. Karl ============================================================================ -Continue to Part II-
