Summary (I don't know the episode summary of this episode, but starting next week we'll label the episode numbers) Vegeta heads out to hunt out Gohan and Krilyn for Dragonball, who are travel ing to the Guru. Bulma goes on her own quest in the ocean using an underwater machine, after losing the Dragonballs because Freeza fired a large beam. After she get's the Nameck Dragonball, 2 of Freeza's soldier's come. New People:Freeza's Henchmen-2 of Freeza's soldiers that took Bulma to find the Dragonballs. One of them looks like a human, and the other one that carries Bulma around looks like an alligator. "Scramble for the Dragonballs" Freeza's Henchman takes Bulma so that they can get Dragonballs to Freeza. They fly and Bulma wonders who Freeza is and thinks it is the end of her life. She remembers all her past quests with Gokou and how many close calls there were. She screams and bites the alligator henchman's hand and falls to the ground. The alligator soldier catches her and both soldiers land in a crater (maybe Vegeta did something there?) Bulma states she dosn't know where the Dragonballs are. The 2 Henchman are confused why Freeza wants the Dragonballs so much. Bulma tells them that the Dragonballs can make them the most powerful beings in the universe. The alligator starts thinking about how good it can be to be more powerful than Freeza while the other soldier thinks she is lying. The alligator convinces the soldier that looks like a human to search for the Dragonballs. The alligator though says that if she is lying, she'll be in deep trouble. Bulma swears she is telling the truth. The henchman start to take Bulma again. Bulma says that it would be better if they look for the Dragonballs on there own. The alligator(I will now also state him as the leader of the 2 henchman because he seems to do all the work) asks one more time where are the Dragonballs. Bulma lies and says they are at the bottom of the sea. The LEADER says she will sink with the Dragonballs if they aren't there. The 2 soldiers and Bulma head out to find the Dragonballs. *Commercial Break* In Gokou's ship, Gokou is training under 100 times gravity. The ship and himself are a wreck. He powers up his Kaiou-ken Techinique and powers up a ki attack. Gokou seems as if he is working on his dodging abilities. Gokou fires another Kame-hame-ha. After, both attacks hit Gokou from the front and back. Gokou, standing, seems Okay. He starts saying that the training had really been paying off. The 2 henchman bring Bulma to a beach (as a matter of fact the same beach where she lost the Dragonball). Bulma says that they don't permit animals at beachs and the leader of the henchmen tells her to Shut up. Bulma says that she can't breathe underwater, but with no luck, she is forced to use her underwater machine to find the "Dragonballs." The search underneathe the water begins. Bulma says that if she dosn't think of a way to trick the 2 henchmen, she'll never see dry land ever again. They search for a long time, but they don't see anything. The alligator screams at Bulma and asks where are they. The group comes across a cyclone that Bulma left after the quest she went on. Bulma hopes they go down and she can escape, but all of them (they carry Bulma down) travel down the cyclone. Now deep in the ocean, Freeza's Henchman are about to kill Bulma, but she says that the Dragonballs are in the cavern just ahead of them. *Commercial Break* The group go into the long cavern and they come across many spheres. The 2 henchman are amazed by how many HUNDEREDS of Dragonballs there are. They try to take one but it seems impossible to pick up. They but down the REAL Dragonball and try to lift the FAKE Dragonball up. Bulma stands there think ing when she can get the REAL Dragonball and escape. All of a sudden, crabs come out of the "Dragonballs." The 2 henchman realize it is a trick. Bulma turns off her lights and escape. Meanwhile, an angry large crab mother attempts to kill the 2 henchman for trying to take her eggs. The henchmen fight while Bulma is escaping. Bulma arrives at shore. All of a sudden, the 2 henchmen escape out of the water, but so does the GIANT crab, who takes them both down back to the sea, and never seen again. Bulma says the day is wore then getting a date. She screams, wanting to know where Krilyn and Gohan are. Krilyn and Gohan are on there way to the Guru. Krilyn isn't to sure how far Guru is away from where they are. He says they better head out because he has bad feelings of Bulma. Krilyn and Gohan continue their way to Guru when Vegeta senses them with his new power. He hopes that he can get the last Dragonballs (he has 6 of them) to wish for immortal life. He travels to get Gohan and Krilyn. Freeza is standing and awaiting the arrival of the Ginyu Force, that are just passing Sector 9034XY and will be arriving soon. Freeza says that soon all the Dragonballs will be in her hands. *End of Episode* Next Episode-Krilyn and Gohan arrive at Guru, but detect Vegeta near them Story of the Month: Dragonball Final Bout For all Dragonball fans that own the Sony Playstation system, Bandai is creating a Dragonball GT game exclusively for the Sony Playstation. And unlike all the other games, this one uses polygons for 3-D action, unlike DragonballZ Legends which was 3-D but had 2-D art. It should be controled like Tobal No. 1 and Toshiden. In this game besides the stunning graphics is a unique combat system and the concept of upgrading your character from weak to powerful from experience. You can do this in different ways, like specializing in either continuous combos, or fireball attacks. In the game, 10 playable characters are on the selection screen, ready to be used. While 8 is believed to be hidden. The playable characters are Gokou, Chibi-Gokou, Vegeta, Piccolo, Trunks, Gohan, Pan, while the Bad Guys include Cell, Freeza, and Kid Buu. What about the eight hidden characters? Gogeta is hoping for a SS4 Gogeta, Vegittoe, or Gokou. 7 hidden characters are SS Gokou(Z), SS Gokou(GT), SS Chibi-Gokou(GT), SSTrunks, SS Vegittoe, and Super Saiyajin Seinen Trunks(Future Trunks?). What about the SS4 Characters? It has been confirmed that SS4 Gokou is one of the Secret Characters. The 8th is believed to be Vegeta-Bebi Oozaru. And believe me he is big. The characters are up to the height of his knee. If you want more information about the Final Bout Secret Characters, Visit Wuken's Homepage. If you haven't played the previous Dragonball games, here is what it should be like. You can fight in either the ground or the air. You can punch kick, shoot fireballs and more, including combos. One feature is the power meter, which tells you how much Ki have absorbed. If you have enough Ki, you can shoot super attacks, such as maybe a Kame Hame Ha.. Unlike all the other Dragonball games, this one is planned to come to the U.S! It should be in Japan by August 21st while it will strike the U.S sometime 4th quarter. If you wanna know how great this PLAYSTATION GAME is, talk to chibi-trunks, who played the game and said it was the best. Sorry N64 and Saturn Fans, maybe next time! Dragonball Chronicles News As far as this month dragonball chronicles has become very popular. Due to it's success we are planning to create a homepage specially for this newsletter. Tell us what you think. Also, we are still deciding on the name for this newsletter. Please send us your feedback to make this newsletter the best on the net. Dragonball T.V. In America Due to an amazing success during the first 1 year of DragonballZ, having higher sweep ratings than Friends or X-files, Funimation decided to continue into the Freeza series. And because of the immense series and popularity, Funimation decided to air 2 back to back 30 minute episodes. If you know your math, that means 1 hour of Dragonball every weekend. Yes, you heard what we said, 1 HOUR OF DRAGONBALL What is now showing is the Freeza series. Incase some of you new to Dragonball people, the Freeza series the most famous and popular series. The series is about Gokou and the others traveling to Nameck to wish Piccolo and Kami-sama back, therefore bringing back to Earth the 7 Dragonballs. Yet on Nameck they meet the Ginew Group, who are some how related to Freeza, the star villian. What makes the Freeza series so important is it introduces the concept of the Super Saiya-jin form. Many of you Vegeta fans out there will also be happy since Vegeta will become part of the Z time finally. Freeza also links to other DragonballZ movies. If it weren't for Freeza, many movies would be different. Funimation is also planning on an American Dragonball T.V. special. They say it will be DragonballZ Movie 3. Incase you people never saw Movie 3 or don't know what it is about, it is about Taurus, a leader of a group of saiyans that plant a holy tree on Earth. Who ever eats the fruit that grows from the tree will get immense evil power. Now, it is up to Gokou to destroy the tree before Taurus or other things start to eat the fruit from the tree. What's So Bad About American Dragonball? As the first season has ended and the second season starting we look back at what they showed as Dragonball Z. We think about how they censored and took out a lot of the parts and think that the Dragonball of America will never be the same as the original. It may not be the same, but what about those who never saw the original. We should be happy that we are getting this program here. To finally wake up and just be able to turn on the TV to watch Dragonball instead of specially ordering it from special places just to watch it makes us all happy and excitied. Like when my friends and I first watched Dragonball on TV we were all excitied just to be able to watch it. We weren't mad for what has been done to the program, we were happy we were able to see it. For all of you who don't like censorship may have been able to see the original, but for those who haven't are happy just to see it. So don't go complaining about the negative points of the American Dragonball show, next time you watch the American version ask yourself why are you even here in front of the TV if the show is so horrible in the states? Dragonball GT: The Evil Dragon Saga As you know, GT has started a new saga: The Evil Dragon Saga. The story behind this new saga starts when the Z fighters used the dragonballs to revive Kullin, but when Goku summoned Sheng Long the dragonballs cracked from too much minus energy. The minus energy forms in the dragonballs after you make a wish. What happens is the plus energy in the dragonballs get used and the minus energy forms in them to replace the plus energy. So smoke came out of the Dragonballs and formed a blue, deformed, and ugly Sheng Long. This Sheng Long had no intention of granting wishes and took the dragonballs away and spread them all over the Earth, just like it would normally do after you make a wish. After the Evil Sheng Long disappeared the Kai-o-shin who gave Gohan his true power told them the story of the last time this had happened. The Evil Dragons were so powerful that they destroyed the entire universe. So Goku set out to find the dragonballs and defeat the evil dragons. Each dragonball is held by an evil dragon making seven evil dragons in all, each with there own special abilities of water, lightning, hurricanes, stone, clouds, volcanoes, and ice. Accompanied by Pan, who forced Goku into taking her along, Goku has defeated 4 out of 7 evil dragons as far as eps. 53. The first evil dragon they encountered was the #2 ball dragon named Ryan-Shinlon, who had the power of water and was able to take Pan and Goku's energy. The minus energy to create this evil dragon was when Tao Pie Pie had killed Upa's father, Bora, and Gokuu used the Dragon Balls to revive Bora. They eventually defeat Ryan-Shinlon and win the #2 dragonball. When they received it, the crack on the dragonball sealed and turned to normal, this happens with every dragonball they win. Next they went to battle the #5 ball dragon, Uu-Shinlon. This dragon had the power of lightning, but weakness was rain(water and electricity don't mix). Uu-Shinlon was a short red dragon who has control over a kind of slime which he used to collect energy. They defeat this dragon with the help of a storm and Goku's Kamehameha. The next evil dragon they encountered was Ryuu-Shinlon, the #6 dragon. The special ability of this dragon was hurricanes. Ryuu-Shinlon first appeared as a princess because he was able to spin so fast that his imaged changed. Of course they defeat him with the help of a pelican who finds its open spot. The next and last dragon that I have read about is the #7 dragon, Chii-Shinlon. This evil dragon has the ability to control other bodies and earthquakes. As the last evil dragon, Chii-Shinlon first appeared as another form, a mole. In the battle Pan gets sucked into Chii-Shinlon's body making her part of him, this causes Goku to hold back on his finishing move and the evil dragon to get the advantage. Pan tells Goku to just finish him off, but Goku doesn't listen. They eventually(when have they lost) defeated Chii-Sinlon with the mistake he made of letting Pan stick her arm out allowing Goku to pull her to safety. Now they have 4 of the dragonballs with 3 more to go. Read the next issue of Dragonball Chronicles to see what happens next. Dragonball GT, Good or Bad. Dragonball GT, good or bad. You decide.

About the Authors of Dragonball Chronicles Background info on Chibi Trunks: Chibi Trunks is a huge fan of Dragonball. He first got interested in Dragonball when he found a product featuring the Dragonball Z characters. Noting his new interest, his friend Gogeta introduced him to the American Dragonball and who these characters were. From then on he has watched some of the Originals and has grown into a very devoted fan to the best anime in the world, Dragonball. Besides Dragonball Chibi Trunks enjoys video games and computers. His favorite type of games are action, adventure, and RPG. His favorite games of all time are Tetris (How can you hate that game?), Mega Man, Zelda, Marios, and, of course, Dragonball. He is a true devoted Nintendo fan. Unlike Gogeta, Chibi Trunks loves the N64 and wouldn't trade it for a Playstation. Yes, Playstation has it's good points (mainly Dragonball Final Bout), but N64 is much better. Background Info about Gogeta: Gogeta first knew about Dragonball in 4th grade when his best friend told him about a cool game about people flying all over the place called Dragonball. Because he liked Street Fighter games, he was interested. He finally found out the Dragonball was really a very popular anime. Gogeta is now going to middle school for a final year and is ready to move to the high school. He is an A+ student, or was until he flunked nearly flunked 7th grade. But now he is ready to kick some *** like Gogeta in 8th grade. Besides Dragonball, Gogeta likes Video Games. Street Fighter, Mega Man, Role-Playing Games are some of his favorites. Gogeta is an anti-N64 fan. He thinks it SUCKS. If you want to ask him why, just e-mail him and you can fight all you want but believe me, you will never win cause he will just keep arguing and arguing. He is a proud PSX owner and a Saturn "friend."
