Right before they can collect the last one, however, [[Gohan]] is ensnared by an invisible force, and [[Bulma]] is detained by [[Raiti]] and [[Zaacro]].

With the illusion gone, it becomes clear that Gohan is actually being held by meat-eating swamp creatures, and Krillin rushes to help him. Meanwhile on Earth, [[Goku]] injures himself while training, and [[Chi-Chi]] and [[Master Roshi]] take him back to the hospital.
