Last time on Dragon Ball,

Goku was eager to begin training for

the World Martial Arts Tournament

and Mr. Popo was there to see that he stuck to his program.

Even though the tournament was three years away,

Goku was put through the paces by a very special doll

that Mr. Popo had designed himself.

And it was clear that Goku had a lot of work to do.

It's as I've told you before, dear boy.

Your speed and skill are matched evenly with the doll,

only you haven't finished your mind training.

Taking Mr. Popo's advice to heart,

Goku came out swinging, but he still had a tough time

toppling his overly animated opponent.

Luckily time was still on their side,

and Goku could rest up before he began his next

strenuous training session.

Meanwhile, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, and Krillin

were on their way to Korin's Tower

in the hope that they could improve

their own fighting skills.

Does this mean that Goku's friends will become

his most fearsome competition?

Each On His Own

Path

Each On His Own

Path

"Walking Their Own Ways"

So this Korin tower, does it really exist?

It has to exist. That's where Goku's training right now.

And I guarantee he's gotten a lot stronger

since undertaking this burden.

Goku's even stronger? Really?

Be patient. You'll see, Krillin.

We'll have a better idea of where the tower is

once we get over this mountain.

Perhaps the people in the area can show us the way.

Tien?

What's goin' on?

Uh.

Huh?

Do you hear it?

Hear what?

Drums, crying,

singing and shouting, many voices...

...coming from the forest.

Uh... Unh-uh.

Hm. I don't hear it.

How 'bout you?

Hello?!

What's wrong Chiaotzu?

Uh!

I guess he must still be asleep.

Or he hears some animals.

It's horrible.

It's something bad. Horrible.

Uh.

Hey, stop trying to scare us, would ya?

It's not like this place isn't creepy enough on its own.

Let's all go back to sleep.

You were imagining things, that's all.

Hmmm...

What are we going to do today, Popo?

I'll be your training partner today

if that's all right with you?

Are you sure?

Mhm.

All right then, I hope you're ready.

I won't be beaten as easily as last time ya know.

No, not that. We're not going to fight.

But. What do you mean?

You and I are going to play hide and seek.

What's hide and seek?

Uh...

First you go and hide and I'll try and catch you.

You can go anywhere you like. Do you understand?

Okay. But this game sounds kinda crazy to me.

How are you going to find me with that blindfold on?

How about you hide and find out what happens?

Ready?

Mhmmm!

Uh, what's wrong, Popo?

I'm trying to pick up the spiritual energy

emanating from your body.

Hmm...

Aah!

Uuuaaah!

I won't let him catch me.

It won't be too much longer before we're

on the other side of this mountain.

Yes.

I hope we find a village somewhere soon

so we can have a hot meal and sleep in a soft bed again.

He-heh. And if we're lucky

we'll meet some pretty girls.

Yeah, in your dreams.

Ha! I'll go find 'em! He-heh!

Huh?

Huh?

These don't look like pretty girls to me.

Where did you come from?

Whew!

That's more like it.

Here for the festival? Welcome!

What? You're having a festival? That's great!

Once a year the entire village gets together for this festival

to celebrate the mountain that protects us.

You thank the mountain?

Yes. Up there.

The mountain spirit protects our village from danger.

That's why we give thanks.

Umm... Umm...

Hum. Hum. Hum. Hum.

Mmm... Umm...

That statue represents the mountain spirit.

Isn't it beautiful?!

Sure is somethin'.

The drums I heard last night came from this village.

That was a ceremony.

Now I understand.

So that's what all the noise was about.

Shh!

Hey. My name is Krillin.

Hi, Krillin. My name's Mint.

What a beautiful name.

Aah!

I gave him the slip.

Uuh! Uh?

Mr. Popo?!

You're too fast!

The game is over.

I believe I've caught you my little friend.

But how did you know what moves I was gonna make?

Oh, it was really quite simple.

I could feel your spiritual energy all around me.

Awww...

Now this time try and find me.

I can't see a thing with this on.

How am I ever going to find him?

Well Goku, what are you waiting for?

Okay.

Yoohoo. I'm over here.

I'm right here.

Stop guessing. You must focus on my energy.

I can't see a thing.

How am I supposed to catch you?

You see. I can control my spiritual energy.

But you cannot.

Mm?

Most everyone generates an aura when they move.

You should be able to see it if you concentrate.

Concentrate?

Use your mind and try to focus.

My mind?

Ah!

Pardon my asking, but we're looking for Korin Tower.

I don't suppose if you'd know if it is um,

anywhere near here?

Korin Tower? No, I haven't heard of that place.

Too bad.

I bet if you ask the village elder he might know where it is.

Mm!

What's wrong, Chiaotzu? You look worried.

Something is very wrong here.

What is it?

Hey pal. Don't just stand there,

come over here and have a drink.

I give up.

That's it! He's done it again! Paol wins!

Yes, you're a true champion. You're the best. Well done.

Thank you, sir.

Excuse me, Elder?

Yes, what is it Mint?

I'm sorry to disturb you, sir,

but these boys would like to ask you something.

Yeah, sir.

Wait, the first rule of festival day

is for everyone to have a good time.

I insist that you sit and enjoy yourselves.

Sounds good.

Thank you.

Hmmm...

Here. Drink up.

I'm still a little young to drink.

It's home made rootbeer.

I made it with my own special recipe.

Well okay. If it's rootbeer.

Ooh. Mm.

Where ya from, stranger?

I'm from somewhere back east.

Hey, that's where I'm from!

Are you a warrior too?

I train everyday and I'm one of

the most bestest fighters in the world.

Enjoy the festival.

Judging from his eyes I can tell this guy

is no ordinary man.

It seems to me that you've been in a fight or two in your time.

Care to accept my challenge for a match?

Yeah. Great.

This could be interesting. Why don't you accept.

If you win, we'll grant you anything you want

in the whole village.

But good luck. I doubt that you'll win.

Sure. You're on.

Tien.

I'll be fine.

Hold it. Me first.

Let me have a chance to fight the big guy.

You know I can take him.

It's what I've been training for.

What's with him?

Little man, you're in no condition to fight me.

I'm okay, I just drank a lot of rootbeer.

He'll be fine, big brother.

Ha!

Your brother?

Uh-huh.

Imagine that.

Don't worry. I'll go easy on you, small fry.

Whenever you're ready, ya meathead.

Ready! Begin!

Look at him. He doesn't even have his guard up.

I can't believe that I'm doing this.

That little fella is quite a good fighter after all.

He's won!

You fought well. Good job.

Hey thanks, big brother.

Brother?

Quite a festival, isn't it?

By the way young man,

I believe there was something you wanted to ask me?

Yes, there is.

Look. The mountain is going to explode.

Explode? Is that what you said?

Yeah.

What he'd say?

The mountain will blow up?

What are you crazy?

The mountain spirit has always protected our village.

It would never blow up on us.

But it will.

I think you're making all this up.

How can you say such a terrible thing on this of all days?

Are you sure, Chiaotzu?

I'm positive.

Ooh...!

Get ready. Here it comes!

Ah! Aah...!

Aah!

The spirit of the mountain is angry with all of us.

Please everyone, beg for your family's safety.

We've got to get out of here!

There may be a way to stop this.

What are you gonna do?

I'm going to try and change the course of the lava.

But Tien, it's too–

I've got to try something before it's too late.

It's the only chance we have. We must save the village.

Right, I'll help you.

Wait.

Hey.

No Krillin!

Be careful!

They must be crazy.

I know it's risky,

but I've got to stop that lava.

Is Tien overestimating

his own strength once again?

And what about Yamcha, Chiaotzu, and Krillin?

They should know that running straight into

an active volcano will be no picnic.

They're all heading into red hot trouble

that they might not come out of alive.

Don't miss the next Dragon Ball.

Be as brave as you can be, a childlike love of fantasy,

The world is a mystery for you and me.

A miracle, an adventure too, a single wish waits for you,

The beating of your heart will see you through.

When you think you can't go on, give it another try,

The power of your youth is strong, and as big as the sky.

Search all over the valley, the mountains and you'll see...believing in yourself sets you free!

Come on, I'll give you romance!

Come on, I'll give you paradise!

Liberate the “you” that you keep inside.

Come on, I'll give you romance!

Come on, I'll give you paradise!

Make your dreams come true; you'll see fantasy...magic can happen to you!

This magma...

I'll stop it!

Watch, Son!

This time I'll surpass you!
