Sword Bearer finished off the last of his popcorn from the fight between Outerverse and Kejardon, and set the red and white striped popcorn box down. Suddenly, the huge gash on his face seethed with white hot pain.

"dab. . ." he murmured to himself under his breath.

The young Sword Bearer turned to the Insane Space Hunter and Kejardon. "I have to go now," Sword Bearer announced quietly.

"Hey, that's okay, there's a bathroom right over there," the Insane Space Hunter pointed.

"No, no, I have to go fight dab. . . alone."

"You sure?" ISH asked.

"Yes. I'll journey out to the Middle Plains. When I get there, I'll set up camp. Hopefully the vile one will show himself again, if he isn't too much of a coward. This is no longer just about challenge, this is about honor, and respect to the Changer."

Once again, the scar across Sword Bearer's face throbbed with an unimaginable pain. The lone Sword Bearer stood up, and began his laborious trek to the Middle Plains.

The Insane Space Hunter, surprised at his young friend's sudden seriousness, escorted Outerverse up to the Quest of Insanity. . .

Three long days of trudging along in the hot sun. The barren Middle Plains of the MDbMB World offered no protection from the searing rays of light, and Sword Bearer, wearing his cumbersome equipment and a weighty sword, succumbed to the relentless heat.

The young hero hit the sandy ground with a thud.

Rolling over, eyes staring into the sun, Sword Bearer let out a cry of pain that echoed throughout the hills, as though the spirits of the goblins he once chased were mocking his howls of desperation.

"Why have you done this! Why have you brought me here!!" Sword Bearer screamed at the sky, still on his back.

Hours slowly passed. A pair of vultures appeared at the peak of the sky. As he watched the feathery scavengers glide through the blue, the vultures slowly melted into the form of the Goblin Prince. The disgusting royalty cackled at Sword Bearer. The Goblin Prince opened his gaping grin wider and wider, until Sword Bearer and the rest of the world were swallowed by the monstrous jaws. Down, down, down Sword Bearer tumbled through the infinite blackness, devoured by his nemesis.

Sword Bearer awoke from his bizarre hallucination with a nose bleed and a cold sweat across his brow.

"What is going on? Changer, why do you do this to me?! Why do you torment me so!?"

Sword Bearer was on the verge of insanity. He came looking to destroy a beast in the name of the Changer, and to defend his pride, but was pounded with visions of imaginary translucent specters dancing in front of his eyes. Thinking all was lost, the young bearer of swords began contemplating how he would reach civilization, when he saw a figure soaring through the sky. Another hallucination, or one of the inhabitants of the MDbMB World? Sword Bearer squinted through the relentless light of the sun to see a figure soaring down from the infinite blue sky. "Are you a messenger of the heavens?" the delusional bearer of swords called out. No response. "I beg of you! Tell me who thine are!!" No response. The silent being touched the ground, kicking up a coarse cloud of dust. "Give me the Dragon Balls." "Oh. . . it's you," Sword Bearer began, in a sour tone. "You'll get no Dragon Balls from I." "So, you want to do this the hard way?" Piccolo smiled before planting a kick into the Sword Bearer's side. Sword Bearer, having recovered from the low blow, shakily stood up to face his rival. "Thou hast no honor," Sword Bearer growled through his teeth. "I choose thee!" Piccolo landed a quick punch to Sword Bearer's stomach. The boy hero staggered back, knees almost knocking, and quickly unsheathed his sword. "Give me the Dragon Balls!" Piccolo roared. "AAAAHHHH!" Sword Bearer charged at Piccolo, managing to rip a chunk of flesh clean from the bone, sending a blaze of pain through Piccolo's right arm. "AAUGGHH!! You little bastard!" Piccolo roared, now hovering several feet from the ground and nursing his arm. In a fury of kicks, Piccolo flew down on Sword Bearer, knocking him back to the dusty earth. Sprawled on the ground, and fairly dazed, the scarred bearer of swords shakily regained his stance. "Give it up, kid," Piccolo snarled. Sword Bearer lifted his blade over his head, and started swinging it around. Piccolo, now quite sure that the prolonged exposure to the sun had drove Sword Bearer completely insane, simply watched from a safe distance. Sword Bearer was still twirling his sword. "Listen, just give me the Dragon Balls, and I'll let you go." Sword Bearer let loose his sword, and watched as it sailed through the dry, still air. Piccolo fell to the ground with the blade through his gut. Gasping for air, Piccolo glared up at Sword Bearer. "You'll. . p-pay. . AUGGHH!!. . . for this!" As Piccolo was ready to slide the sword out of his midsection, the two combatants were startled by a deafening rumble. The two turned to see the earth and rock erupt in an explosion of scaly skin. . . In a perfect Sean Conery voice. Look I don't like you and you don't like me but none of us likes him (points at the scales that had just come out of the ground) so lets take care of him and then we can fight like real men. Piccolo agrees and blast a makkanpposappo at the resurfacing creature. The ground shatters as the creature twists in agony. It puts the head out and Sword Bearer tries to flinch his sword in the back of the dragon, only to get hit by its tail. "Bwahahaha!" laughs Piccolo, while flying and blasting the head of the monster - "Fight like a man, you said. Learn how to keep on your legs, kiddo!" Sword Bearer is enraged. He stands up and go straight ahead swinging his sword ahead of the dragon's jaws. It turn out that the pouch in which the dragon balls were has unfastened and the balls are now lying in the ground. Piccolo takes notice of it. He flies towards the ground, Sword Bearer runs towards the monster's jaws - sword swinging in fury - and none of the two of them notice the red eyes of the creature - the most purely rageous expression in a beast. It is up to something... Meanwhile, yelling and swinging his fury sword, Sword Bearer gets very close to the jaws of the monster. He hits one the monsters huge canine teeth, to what the beast replies by engulfing the kid. Piccolo sees the scene horrified! "This is not fair! I should be killing the kid, not this monster!", he thinks. The monster munches and moans while eating Sword Bearer and from the outside it becomes clear that the kid is still fighting inside against the terrible knife-shaped teeth and rock like tongue. Out of nowhere, a laser blast hits the creature, but it barely notices it. Piccolo looks up and sees the Quest for Insanity ship, with ISH at controls trying his best to help his friend. Piccolo grins, "Kid, you're a lucky bastard!" And then flies full velocity towards the dragon. A full-blow kick hits the monster in the stomach and Sword Bearer is vomited out. Piccolo then takes the kid and flies towards the Quest for Insanity. As the Quest of Insanity was trying to get away from dab, the mighty dragon hit the ship with his tail. It crash-landed upside-down. Piccolo saved Sword Bearer and Insane Space Hunter, and flew away with them, far enough so dab would lose their track.

-So, said Piccolo, will you at last give me the damn Dragonballs?

-Why would I give them to you? said Insane Space Hunter.

-I have a REALLY important wish to make! My home planet was blown up some years ago, and I want to wish it back!

-Thy motives dost seem honorable, said Sword Bearer. Thou hast saved mine life, so I guess I should apologizeth for attacking thou the first time we met.

-Yeah, I guess so, said ISH. Okay, take them, but don't even think about making any wish against us!

-I promise, said Piccolo.

The three put the seven Dragon Balls together, and Piccolo pronounced the formula to summon Shenron.

-Oh almighty Shenron, rise and grant my wish! Make planet Namek become as it once was, before Freeza destroyed it! The Dragon Balls began to glow, and to the horror of the three companions, dab arose from the seven balls!

-Filthy beast! said Sword Bearer while unsheathing his sword. How did thou find us?

-Where is Shenron? said Piccolo.

-Guess it's a surprise to all of you, eh? I AM Shenron, said dab.

-Nonsense! said Piccolo. You don't look even a bit like Shenron, and you're a being of evil!

-Heh heh, you forgot you're on the MDbWorld, Piccolo. I am the Shenron of the MDbWorld. Lucky you had to use the Dragon Balls, now I've found you! Of course I won't grant your wish... Instead, I will kill you all! As he said that, dab launched a flurry of kicks and slashes at Insane Space Hunter. ISH dodged it, and prepared to do a headbutt. dab saw it coming, and put his spiky tail in ISH's trajectory. The Space Hunter couldn't dodge it, and was impaled through the head.

-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! said Sword Bearer as he saw the body of his friend fall to the ground.

-Yes, said dab, and now it's your turn!

At that moment Sword Bearer's scar started glowing as the anger was rising within Sword Bearer. TO the surprise of dab and Piccolo, Sword Bearer transformed into a dragon! He then immediately attacked dab. The battle lasted for days, as the two dragons fought in the sky and on land. Finally, Sword Bearer got a little edge, and took that opportunity to hit dab straight in the face. While dab was stunned, Piccolo launched a KienZan to him and cut his head. Sword Bearer landed and became human again, and thanked Piccolo for his help in the fight. The two watched the Dragon Balls crumble to dust.

-I'm sorry, Piccolo, said Sword Bearer. I know you really wanted to see your planet again...

-If I had lachrymal glands would cry, said Piccolo. This is really the first time in my life when I felt sad. Now my life doesn't even have a meaning anymore. Goodbye, Sword Bearer. Too bad we didn't become friends earlier. Piccolo then did a hand pose and yelled "Makankosappo!!!" Sword Bearer was terrified for a little bit, but soon he realized that Piccolo was pointing the Makankosappo to his own head.

-Wait, Piccolo, don't...!

It was too late. Piccolo shot the ki attack and his body fell to the ground. Sword Bearer was the ultimate survivor. But the fight was not over yet. High in the sky, another battle was already happening...

Still crying, Sword Bearer grabbed dab's head and headed back home.
