The sensational World Martial Arts Tournament has ended with Jackie Chan capturing the win from Goku. Goku had no idea that his opponent was really Master Roshi in disguise.

Yamcha: So, are you up for a second helping of training on Master Roshi's Island?

Krillin: You bet!

Master Roshi: Now hold on! Let's not get ahead of ourselves. You boys have earned a break before we begin the next phase of training. It's time you learned some lessons from the greatest scholar of all: Life!

Goku & Krillin: Really?

Master Roshi: Um-hum!

Goku: Great, then I'm gonna go find my grandpa's four-star Dragon Ball!

Once he said that they all turned to face him with puzzled faces.

Yamcha & Bulma: Huh?

Oolong: What's the rush?

Haru: You don't have to go looking for it straight away.

Bulma: There's plenty of time. Are you sure you wanna start looking now?

Goku: Mm-hmm.

Krillin: Wait a minute! What in the world is a Dragon Ball?

Haru: They are seven Mystical Balls that grant you any wish, once all seven are gathered.

Goku: It's a magical ball my grandpa gave me.

Krillin: Oh.

He just looked down looking more confused than he did before he asked the question.

Master Roshi: Mmmm... Maybe you should take someone with you...

Master Roshi said seeing how Krillin would be left with him if Goku went looking for the Dragon Balls by himself.

Goku: I'll have the Flying Nimbus to keep me company.

Oolong: Goku, he's right. You going out alone is a bad idea.

Puar: It's too scary!

They tried to talk him out of it

Goku: It'll be an adventure!

They sounded worried and they tried to talk him out of it but Goku was too light headed to notice how worried they looked.

Master Roshi: I'm sure Krillin would love to go!

Krillin: Uh...? Actually, Master, I was looking forward to going with you to your island so we could start training for the next tournament.

Master Roshi: Hmm?!

Hearing that caught Master Roshi off guard since that's the least he wanted to do right now.

Master Roshi: Look, kid, what do I have to do, spell it out for you? I need you to leave! Scram! You're cramping my style!

Master Roshi yelled at Krillin, sounding more frustrated than he usually was.

Krillin: In the next tournament I want to score big!

Master Roshi: So do I.

Master Roshi: More than you'll ever know. I can see it now. Cocktails at sunset, a gorgeous gal, Launch!

He began imagining himself and Launch sitting on the beach, drinking cocktail while the sunset, alone, and by themselves.

Master Roshi: Oh, well. I guess there goes that little slice of heaven.

Goku: Where are you going?

He asked Yamcha and Bulma who stuck close to each other.

Yamcha: Uh...
