Summary[]
The group on Rudeeze
Giru detects a Black Star Dragon Ball on the desert planet, Rudeeze. While the team is flying to the planet, Trunks suggests going back to Earth to replace Pan with Goten which upsets Pan as she thinks that she is being unhelpful. When they land, they are overwhelmed by the deserts heat and soon after a giant Sandipede attacks them and damages their ship causing their water to spill out.
While Trunks is fixing it, Pan attempts to help but Trunks tells her to go play inside the ship. She succumbs to her anger and storms off into the desert in search of the Dragon Ball to prove how useful she is. Later, Giru goes after her. After a while, Pan succumbs to dehydration and heat exhaustion, and is attacked by another Sanipede. Giru arrives just in time to save her by fending it off.
When she comes to, she finds out that he also found the five-star ball and water, and she emotionally thanks Giru and apologizes for treating him so badly. When Goku and Trunks arrive, they find a nearby oasis, and use the water to refill the broken cooling tanks, and ultimately reconsider replacing Pan with Trunks apologizing for his comment and saying that she is an important member of the team.
Meanwhile, Dolltaki returns to the planet M-2 to report to Dr. Myuu but he is instead greeted by General Rilldo who kills him for his failure.
