THE GREAT ESCAPE

Two days have passed since Pigero won his big fight in Ginger Town, 10,000 Zeni was more than enough to fix his capsule motorcycle, buy new supplies, and fill his empty stomach, with plenty of Zeni to spare, Pigero exits Ginger Town.
         Pigero decided to head back east to see his old friend Nam, maybe, Pigero thought, he could stop by a few towns on the way to take a few fights...if he had to. Big Jim told Pigero which towns would be hosting upcoming fights if he ever felt the need to earn some extra cash along the way to visit Nam.

Pigero: I haven't had a meal like that in a long time. I also never had so much money in my life, gosh I'm only 16 years old, what am I even supposed to do with all this?
Hmmm if I can keep this win streak up, a few more fights here and there, then by the time I'm 18 I'd have so much...

Pigero stops himself from talking any further about money, as he remembers the wise words of his master Chin and his good friend Nam.

Pigero: Wait, no I can't do that, I shouldn't do that. Fighting for financial gain goes against everything that I've been taught.
          Master Chin told me that, Fighting for profit ruins a martial artist's soul!
           If I continue down this path, I'm no different than Tao, someone who hurts people for Zeni.

Pigero remembers that the quick and easy path in life isn't always the best thing for a young man growing up, to do the right thing, help who he can along the way, to defend those who can't defend themselves, like the orphans he once tried to protect, is the very essence of Martial Arts.

Pigero: I have to do what's right, that's what Mom and Dad would've wanted and that's what Master Chin would expect from me.
So no more fighting for money! I did what I had to do because I had no choice, but now I do have a choice. It's what everyone would've expected from me, even though they're gone, I can still honor their memory.

Pigero rides off on his motorcycle, vowing never to fight for profit again. He's made up his mind that he would be a force for good, to help those in need wherever he can.

In the dark cells of Dr. Wheelo's hidden Arctic base, Cyborg Tao begins to awaken...

                             ~heavy static~

Attention........all...Ginyu Force....red alert...report immediately.....Planet Namek...

The transmission ends as Tao rises to his feet.

Cyborg Tao: Another transmission, Hmm curious! What or who is The Ginyu Force?
Doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is getting out of this cell.
Also, Kochin mentioned a new super weapon, he said it reduced the forest around South City to a desert. Technology like that is exactly what I was hoping to find when I agreed to come here. I will have its power, but first I must escape from this wretched dungeon.

Tao begins to search for a way out, he scans every inch of the cell in multiple vision settings through his optic lenses.
