Dragon Ball Z Infinity/Hamford Finesse (episode)

Season 2, Episode 4
== Capsule Corporation - Early in the Morning (Cold Open) ==
The episode cold opens to the outside of the Capsule Corp building at dawn. Cut to Vegeta and Bulma’s bedroom. Bulma was still fast asleep in bed, but Vegeta was awake. He climbed out of bed and walked over to the bathroom in his underwear.
Vegeta brushed his teeth, washed his face & hair, and opened the mirror cabinet in front of him. He cleaned his toothbrush and put it back with the toothpaste. Upon closing the mirror cabinet, a symbolic reflection of Nappa appeared alongside Vegeta’s reflection. Vegeta walked out of the bathroom.
Back in his bedroom, Vegeta put on his Saiyan battle armor. Starting with his blue jumpsuit, then white yellow-tipped boots, then his white gloves, and finally the chest armor.
Cut to Vegeta out on the balcony overlooking the city. It was still dark for the most part. The city lights were still on, and the sun was just coming up. A symbolic figure of Frieza briefly appeared over Vegeta as he took a deep breath.
Cut to Vegeta in the Gravity Chamber. He set the machine to 250x gravity and the room grew red. Needless to say, the increased weight felt VERY unpleasant. But Vegeta grit his teeth, yelled out, and powered through it.
He did a set of one-handed push-ups with each arm. A symbolic figure of Super Perfect Cell briefly appeared over his head. Vegeta then switched to doing the same thing while holding himself up by a handstand. After that, Vegeta did a set of crunches.
The Saiyan prince then lifted a 100-pound weight up and down. 100 pounds under 250x gravity was not a walk in the park. Once he was done with that, Vegeta flew all over the chamber. Doling out hyperspeed punches and kicks while a symbolic figure of Majin Vegeta momentarily appeared.
After 30 minutes of intense training, Vegeta sat on the floor and took a break. 250x gravity was still on. He closed his eyes and opened the palm of his right hand. An orange ki blast soon popped up over it. The ki blast began to crackle with electric sparks. The electricity grew with intensity until Vegeta had a hard time containing it.
He then withdrew the blast—and a smirk came on his face.
Vegeta: It’s almost ready.
Cut to the title card and opening sequence.
== Goku’s House - Under a Violent Storm ==
Cut to the outside of Goku’s house later in the morning. Wind gusts up to 80 mph, torrential downpour, and thunderous lightning abounded. Cut to inside, we see Goku in his room practicing the Antidote Rebirth by himself. A faint purple aura came over him. Goku then attempted to mimic what Yamcha did in their fight. He created several counterfeit doppelgangers of himself. They followed Goku’s every command. Throw a punch, they did that. Charge a ki blast, they did that. Goku’s face lit up in glee.
Goku: This is incredible!
Goku saw that the doppelgangers also had faint purple auras. He could now see that they were all just mental projections. Not the real deal. Chi-Chi, however, didn’t see it that way.
When she came into the room to get her phone, she screamed. Goku became flustered.
Goku: Woah! Woah! Woah! Chi-Chi! They’re not real, it’s just me!
Goku relinquished the doppelgangers until it was just him.
Goku: See?
Chi-Chi breathed a sigh of relief.
Chi-Chi: Good grief, Goku. What’s next, you can grow four arms so you can eat and fight at the same time?
Goku: I can already do that with two arms. Goku said with a big grin.
Chi-Chi rolled her eyes and picked up her phone.
Chi-Chi: I’m gonna go call Bulma.
Goku: Oh yeah? What for?
Chi-Chi: Aw shucks, I forgot to mention it to you before. Bulma and I are planning a little get-together between our families at the Hamford Finesse resort. If all goes according to plan, we might be able to stay there this evening and for a whole week.
Goku: Is it gonna interfere with my training?
Chi-Chi: You can use your Instant Transmission thingy to leave when you need to. Just don’t spend too much time away. Okay?
Goku: Okay.
Chi-Chi: OKAY?
Goku: Yes, okay!
== Capsule Corporation ==
Cut to the living room inside Capsule Corp, we see Bulma sitting down on the couch holding a sleeping Bulla with one hand. In the other hand, she held her phone up to her ear.
Bulma: Guess what?
Chi-Chi: We're in!?
Bulma: Yep! We're going tonight!
Chi-Chi: Ahhhhh! This is so exciting!
Vegeta: What are you girls yapping about?
Vegeta walked into the room and stood behind the couch where Bulma sat, eating a large breakfast burrito.
Bulma: We’re going to Hamford Finesse tonight!
Vegeta’s face was blank.
Bulma: The resort that I’ve told you about?
Vegeta swallowed a bite of his burrito.
Vegeta: What resort?
Bulma became pissed. She yelled…
Bulma: The exclusive Hamford Finesse resort that we’ve been on a waitlist for over five years!? Were you even listening to a word that I was saying!?
Three dots briefly appeared over Vegeta’s head. Then, it clicked.
Vegeta: Oh, that stupid place? You want to go there so bad why didn’t you use the Dragon Balls to do it?  Or better yet, why not just fly there instead of pining over some asinine waitlist?
== Goku’s House ==
Chi-Chi stood by while her eyes lit up. Goku overheard the conversation and chuckled to himself.
== Capsule Corporation ==
Bulma got in Vegeta’s face.
Bulma: We can’t fly there, Vegeta! That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you! And I didn’t want to use the Dragon Balls because we might need them for something more important! Guess what? We did!
Vegeta, in response, got in Bulma’s face.
Vegeta: Oh spare me that! You’ve gone after the Dragon Balls for much less! Don’t even deny it!
Bulma: I’M TRYING TO DO SOMETHING NICE FOR THE FAMILY AND THIS IS THE THANKS THAT I GET!?
Bulla woke up and started laughing at her parents’ spat.
Bulma: Now look what you did! You woke her up!
Vegeta: Me!? You’re the one that started shouting!
== Meanwhile at Hamford Finesse ==
Cut to a secret island full of lush trees, sparkling lagoons, exquisite high-rise suites, water amusement rides, exotic wildlife, and a land area that dwarfs the size of West City. This was Hamford Finesse. Towards the middle of the island was the Administrative Center, a corporate skyscraper with some tropical architecture influences.
Cut to the inside of the top floor of the building. Fast classical music can be faintly heard. Four individuals, all in business formal wear, walked towards the CEO’s office. The music grew louder. They opened the door to the office and found the CEO himself waiting for them attentively with his foxy, silver-haired assistant standing by him. The music was in full blast until the CEO lowered the volume to the point that it was nearly quiet. 
The CEO: Please take a seat.
Upon a closer look at the four individuals, we see all of them are physically built. Which is a bit interesting. According to their VIP name tags going from right to left, they were: Samuel, Mia, Kijimu, and… Disset!? These were the people that surpassed the Blaze of Might! 
All of them took a seat across from the CEO. Samuel gave the CEO’s assistant a quick glance, mildly attracted.
The CEO: Cameras are off. This is off the record as usual.
Disset: So what are we looking for, Mr. Robinson?
Mr. Robinson: How many times do I have to tell you? You can call me Tony.
Disset: Just trying to keep formality.
Tony: That’s cute. Tony said with amusement. Well, in any case, sources have told me that a government-funded archaeological survey is going to be conducted in the upper-west region of the Bogi Desert.
Samuel: Bogi Desert? That place is as barren as my grandma’s punani.
Tony: For the most part, yes. But… it’s heavily speculated that an abandoned temple resides in that specific region.
Tony Robinson turned on the projector on his desk. It showed a map of the world, then pointed to a specific dry region in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Tony: I triangulated the approximate coordinates that my sources gave me and that’s the area that I came up with.    
Disset: Gotcha. So once we find the temple and get inside, what are we looking for? Just random expensive antiques to sell at an auction, or something specific?
Tony: Mmm. I’m not opposed to the first idea, but I did have something specific in mind. Have any of you heard of the story of Bloodvard’s Heart?
The four all shook their heads.
Mia: No, but I like a good story.
Tony: Hmm. Maybe in another venture of mine I should produce a film that adapts the story. Anyway, here’s the short of it. About 2,000 years ago, there was an emperor named Hallmund Bloodvard. He came into power during a time when the empire was coming to ruin due to the horrible reign of previous rulers. Try as he might to get things back on track, all hell broke loose once the empire was engaged in war on multiple fronts. With its enemies, and from within.
Tony sighed.
Tony: Bloodvard realized that the empire that he once loved was never coming back. He told his wife that if there was anything that he loved just as much as her, it was his empire. It was his heart to see it restored to its former glory. So Bloodvard organized a group of royal witches to immortalize his wish with a rock. The emperor asserted that if he died, the rock shall choose another person to carry out his heart. At the end of it all, he, his wife, and a few dozen loyalists fled to a sanctuary temple during the wars. The temple ended up getting ransacked, they all got killed, and Bloodvard’s Heart was lost to the sands of time.
Disset: Wow…
Samuel: Wait, so hold on. Is the rock Bloodvard’s Heart?
Everyone looked at Samuel like they couldn’t believe what he just said.
Kijimu: Yes. Were you even listening to anything he was saying?
Samuel: Yeah yeah yeah. I just wanted to clarify.
Samuel caught another gaze at Tony’s assistant.
Tony: Here’s a sketch of what the rock looks like.
Tony showed the four of them an artistic recreation of Bloodvard’s Heart on a piece of paper. The rock was shaped like an oval with vein-like markings all over it.
Mia: Is it big?
Tony: Can’t be that big if Bloodvard was able to run with it.
Disset took the paper and folded it into his suit jacket pocket. The four of them then stood up.
Tony: If you find this for me, you’ll be paid one million. Each.
Disset: If not?
Tony: Bring back whatever you can find and we’ll discuss further. You’re all on assignment tomorrow.
Tony lent out a hand and gave a pearly white CEO smile. Disset shook hands on behalf of himself and his fellows. The assistant returned Samuel’s gaze with a smirk.
Cut to black.
== Hamford Docks - Evening at the beach ==
Fade open to a big door being opened. The Son and Brief families were united together ready to travel to the lustrous resort. (Goku, Gohan, Goten, Chi-Chi, Ox-King, Videl, Pan, Vegeta, Trunks, Bulma, and Bulla). The doors opened to a giant golden submarine. They were all on the beach ready to depart. Two attendants escorted them in.
Attendant #1: Right this way.
The inside of the submarine was more compact than a person would think from looking at the exterior. But it was still quite spacious enough. Among the other crew members were the captain, first officer, and support specialists. Not a big crew. About ten or twelve people really.
Trunks: Is there any food in here?
One of the attendants responded…
Attendant #2: None for the visitors. This’ll be a quick five minute trip.
Gohan: Oh yeah? How fast is this thing?
The captain yelled from the bridge…
Sub Captain: This baby can go up to 69 knots!
Goten: Is that fast?
Gohan: Very. That’s around 80 miles per hour, making this the fastest sub in the world. By far.
Sub Captain: Ah! You know your stuff!
Soon after, the doors closed. The submarine launched and went underwater. The families marveled at the marine life & flora, but not for long. The sub was fast approaching a large rock. Ahead of them too was a deathly terrifying whirlpool.
Goku: Hey! We’re heading straight for that thing!
Interestingly enough, the whirlpool didn’t originate from the surface of the water. Instead, it looked as if it came from the rock straight ahead.
Chi-Chi: Are you trying to get us killed!? Why aren’t you turning this thing around!?
Bulma: It’s alright, just relax. This is the only way to get to the island.
Attendant #1: Yes. I suggest you all find a seat and buckle in. It’s about to get a little turbulent.
Both families nodded and did as such. The sub began to heave and ho as it entered the whirlpool. The whole experience was fairly thrilling. Goten, Trunks, Pan, and Bulla derived the most amusement from it.
Amid the turbulence was an unmarked refrigerator with a loose door. Soon enough, the door swung open and a whole host of food came out. One of those items was a glass of milk. It flew so far and then… CRASH! The milk bottle whacked itself across Vegeta’s face and shattered. Vegeta obviously was unharmed, but he was miffed.
Bulma put her hands over her mouth in shock.
Bulma: Oh my gosh. Are you alright, honey?
Vegeta: I’m fine!
The two attendants scurried over to him, apologizing deeply and repeatedly. Gohan muttered under his breath…
Gohan: Well, I guess that answers Trunks’ question. It’s all over Vegeta’s face.
Vegeta quickly turned to Gohan while Videl modestly giggled.
Vegeta: What was that?
Gohan: Uh… nothing!
Vegeta: You’re a terrible liar. What did you say!?
Bulma facepalmed.
Bulma: Oh brother.
== Hamford Finesse Resort - Entrance Docks ==
A few minutes later, the families came upon the docks at the entrance hall of the resort. The submarine came out of the water and opened its doors when it was safe to do so. The families bid the sub crew farewell before departing.
On the docks, they were greeted by three resort workers. The one in the middle held fresh new clothes.
Resort Worker #2: We heard about the incident during the trip, so we brought something fresh for you to wear.
She gave Vegeta a fresh pink shirt.
Vegeta: I’m not wearing that.
The resort worker chuckled.
Resort Worker #2: I figured as much.
She pulled out another shirt that was within the pink one. It was beige in color. Vegeta took it and nodded as a thank you.
Goku: Wow! I can already tell this place is way bigger than Dream Land.
Just from their view, they could see some of the highrise suites, amusement rides, and spiraling trees under a violet evening sky.
Resort Worker #1: No other theme park or resort can compare to this place. I’ll take you to the entrance hall so we can get you settled into your suites.
Goku: Sounds good.
They started walking toward the entrance hall. On the way there, they caught a shining preview of the resort’s natural essence. Orchids of varying colors, palm trees, peonies, petunias, iguanas, toucans, monkeys, it just goes on and on.
Videl: This place is beautiful.
Resort Worker #1: It is paradise. You will never run out of things to do here.
== Administrative Center ==
Cut to the Administrative Center, inside the CEO’s office. Tony Robinson was reading the weekly sales report for the resort. Overall figures were up 37% from the previous week. Business was good. He then heard a knock on the door.
Tony: Come in!
His assistant entered.
The Assistant: She’s here.
She showed him her phone with a picture of Bulma at the entrance hall.
Tony: Mmm. Good.
The Assistant: When would you like to set up a meeting with her?
Tony gave it some thought.
Tony: Not today.
The answer mildly surprised his assistant.
Tony: She just got here. I’ll let her get settled in, enjoy some time here, and once she’s in a more… euphoric mood, we can move forward from there.
== Suite Building A ==
Cut to Suite Building A in the Briefs' room. Trunks laid out on his bed, randomly strumming away at his bass guitar and staring at the ceiling. He thought about what Goten said in regards to Vollena. In fact, Trunks had been mulling it over ever since that conversation. He didn’t really know where to begin on fulfilling such a deed.
Trunks: Dang it.
Trunks set his bass aside. Goku and Vegeta speculated that Vollena was gone from existence. But what about Other World? Ah! That was it! Trunks could ask King Yemma for the whereabouts of one Vollena. Just one thing: how would he meet him without y’know… dying?
Trunks: Hmm…
Goku has bent the rules with that before. Or maybe the Infinity Sword could be used as a direct line to King Yemma.
Trunks: Nah, too painful.
He’ll ask Goku about it. Probably tomorrow.
Yamon (voice): How is your training coming along?
== Togota - Inside Ramon’s House in the Family Room ==
Cut to Ramon’s house in the family room. Small room with a television on and a warm fireplace running. Ramon and his father sat on the couch, drinks in hand.
Ramon: I’ve made a lot of progress. In a couple of weeks, I might be able to use that sword without feeling like I’m having a lobotomy.
Yamon: Oh yeah? Show me something.
Ramon snapped his fingers.
Ramon: Observe.
Ramon performed the Antidote Rebirth. Then, a few moments later, he completely vanished.
Yamon: Hmmph. That’s it?
Yamon then felt an invisible hand on his shoulder. He jumped up in fright before Ramon reappeared, laughing his butt off. Yamon didn’t know whether to be angry at his son or laugh with him.
Yamon: I didn’t know part of your training was learning pranks!?
Ramon: Well, it isn’t. But they’re easy to do with you.
The fireplace then suddenly went out, bewildering Ramon and Yamon. Moments later, Supreme Kai and Kibito made their presence known in the family room. They were legitimately angry. Shin threw down the faux Infinity Sword.
Shin: You snake. You lied right to my face!
Yamon: Ramon, who the hell are these people?
Ramon: It’s alright, dad. I’ll handle it.
Kibito: You will handle nothing! That sword cannot be left exposed the way it is! It’s dangerous beyond your comprehension!
Ramon got into a confrontational stance.
Ramon: You have no right to take it! We’ve poured millions in the fund to rebuild this sword! Tens of thousands of hours were labored to realize our vision!
Kibito: That is no way to talk to the Supreme Kai!
Ramon: Oh shut up about that! I’ve heard what Goku said about you all!
Shin and Kibito were taken aback.
Shin: Wh-what?
Ramon: Yeah. “Gods, aliens, they’re all just people at the end of the day.” That’s what Goku told me. And you know what, he’s right. He and a handful of other fighters from Earth are probably stronger than the three of you combined.
Yamon: Three?
Ramon: Yeah. Goku told me about an older fellow related to these guys that likes to get his rocks off from time to time.
Shin and Kibito were flustered.
Shin: I—I don’t condone that behavior.
Ramon: That’s great! So that just leaves an ignoramus like you who doesn’t have the power to stop an actual universal threat, and your assistant whose only use is to tell people to respect the Supreme Kai. You’re not gods. You’re just men who prefer safe complacency over dangerous innovation.
Yamon: Hold on a second! Instead of arguing and talking past each other, how about having a civil discussion? Can we do that?
Shin stepped forward, vexed.
Shin: No, because your son clearly values his own ego more than the sound being of the universe.
Ramon: What!?
Shin: It’s funny, the universe nearly got destroyed a few years ago because of an ego-filled squabble like this. It was between Goku and Vegeta.
This shocked Ramon. A quick flashback to Goku and Vegeta’s fight at the onset of the Majin Buu saga is shown.
Shin (voice): Their fight was what gave the monster known as Majin Buu the power to wreak havoc on Earth, its galaxy, and the greater universe.
Cut to a flashback of Kid Buu killing off the Supreme Kais and much later on destroying planets on a whim.
Shin (voice): That monster killed my fellow Kais, people I knew and loved for centuries. If he wasn’t stopped, there would be nothing left. NOTHING!
Cut to a flashback of Shin trying to stop Goku and Vegeta’s battle. Goku held up a ki blast directed at the Supreme Kai in response.
Shin (voice): I tried to stop it all in the first place, but Goku threatened to kill me if I didn’t get out of the way of their prideful fight.
Cut back to the family room. Ramon was deflated by what Shin said.
Shin: The Infinity Sword, under knowledgeable hands, doesn’t just make that person become the most powerful being in the universe. They become omnipotent. And the moment a person like that becomes even slightly corrupted…
Ramon nodded his head.
Ramon: …I get the concern. And while you have my deepest condolences for what happened to you, our situations are not aligned. I mean, where is this great threat? You supposedly hold the universe in the palm of your hand. Show me.
Shin closed his eyes and shook his head.
Shin: I regret stepping out of line during Goku and Vegeta’s squabble. I will not do the same here.
He then glanced at his assistant.
Shin: Kibito, get the sword.
Kibito nodded and teleported out of the house. Before Ramon could react, Shin zoomed up to him and teleported the both of them to the Sacred World of the Kai.
Cut to black. The episode ends and goes to closing credits.
