Author's note: I've been wanting to do a story where Goku wasn't so childishly naive and that he can see the future like Bardock. Of course there will be some major changes during the story plotline, but I'm not going to spoil it for you.
Disclaimer: Do I really have to say it? I don't own DBZ or anyone in it, except for Ventusia. There, now on with the story.
Dragon Ball Rewritten
Of Past, Present and Future
(Part 4)
Chapter 12, KAMEHAMEHA!
Goku, the young 12 year old boy with a brown furry tail, along with Chi-Chi, a young 12 year old girl wearing strange armor clothing, rode on the Nimbus cloud and found the island where the Legendary Turtle Hermit, Master Roshi lives. They need the Bansho Fan to put out Fire Mountain and Master Roshi is the only person they knew who has one.
"Hey Master Roshi!" Goku called happily as he and Chi-Chi jumped off the Flying Nimbus.
Roshi looked over to see the same tailed boy that brought Turtle back home. "Oh hey, it's you, you're that kid that saved Turtle and I gave you the Flying Nimbus and that orange ball. Goku, wasn't it? What brings you to my humble little island and who's your friend?"
"This here is Chi-Chi, she's the Ox-King's daughter." Goku introduced.
"Goku... is this old guy really The Great Master Roshi I've heard so much about?" Chi-Chi whispered to Goku in doubt.
"Of course he is. Just because he's old doesn't mean he's anyone else." Goku reassured her.
"Well I say we better test it, to see if this old man really is Master Roshi." Chi-Chi said as she put her hands on the blade on top of her helmet.
Goku gasped and before the tailed boy could do anything to stop her, the girl already threw the blade at the old man. Roshi did indeed anticipated the blade coming to him, unfortunaly, he didn't think it was strong enough to slice through his wooden staff. The results: the blade cut through the staff he used to block it and stuck to his bald head.
Roshi, of course, yelled in pain while Goku flinched then sweatdropped. "Ouch... that must've hurt."
"The real Master Roshi would've dodged that. This proves that you're not who you say you are!" Chi-Chi snapped at him.
"Darn you kid! Nobody could've dodged that, not even me!" Roshi snapped back.
"The REAL Master Roshi could've!"
"Look, see my Driver's Liscenes? I am Roshi." he said putting up his ID card in front of her.
Chi-Chi gasped when she realized he is indeed Master Roshi. "Oh-no! I just did a terrible thing. I'm so sorry!"
Chi-Chi pulled the blade out of the poor Turtle Hermit's head. "CRAZY KIDS!"
Goku only watched the scene in silence. The tailed boy was now starting to have his own doubts, but still he needed to get the Bansho Fan in order to get the Dragon Ball he needs to restore his and Bulma's home; West City after he destroyed it while in Oozaru Berserker Mode.
After recovering from Chi-Chi's little test, Roshi decided to get down to business before anything else painful would happen to him. "So tell me why have the two of you come here to see me?"
Goku decided to speak up. "We need the Bansho Fan. We were told it could put out the flames on Fire Mountain, do you have it?"
"Bansho Fan? Ah yes, I remember having such a fan. It's certainly magical; wave once and you create a strong wind enough to rival a tornado. Wave twice and rain will start to fall. Wave three times and it'll cause a tsunami. So you youngens want to use it to put out Fire Mountain? The Bansho Fan could most certainly put it out, but could I really trust the two of you with something so powerful?"
"Please Master Roshi? My dad and I can't get back home because the flames are too hot." Chi-Chi begged.
"Please Master Roshi? A Dragon Ball is in that castle and we need it to restore West City." Goku also begged.
Roshi looked at the two kid begging to have both of their homes saved. "Hmm... I probably could, but... Goku, when we first met, you told me you had an older sister, right?"
"Uh yes sir, her name is Bulma." Goku said and did indeed remember mentioning her the first time they've met.
Master Roshi suddenly grabbed Goku's hand. "We need to talk, man-to-man." and went around the house to avoid earshot from Chi-Chi.
"Tell me, how old is she and what's her bra size?" Roshi asked while starting to drool a bit.
Turtle, the sea turtle, glared at his perverted master. "Don't do this again Master Roshi!"
"Be quiet you goodie-two-shoes! Can't a dying old man have a little fun before he goes?" Roshi snapped at him.
"But you drank from the Fountain of Ageless, so you're not gonna die anytime soon!" Turtle snapped back.
"DARN YOU!"
Goku sighed as he realized Master Roshi is also a big pervert. I see what he wants, there's no way big sis would ever agree to this, but what am I going to do? If Master Roshi doesn't give us the fan then we'll never get that Dragon Ball. I just know I'm going to kick myself in the morning, but desperate times call for desperate measures... I just hope Bulma doesn't try to kill me for this.
"She just turned 16 and she's a 34C if I'm not misaken." Goku knew about this because brother and sister apparently don't have any secrets between each other, at least these two didn't.
"S-size 34C?" Goku was disgusted by how Roshi was putting his hands in the air and acted like he was... squeezing something about the size of a melon. Still, the tailed boy knew this was the best chance he had of getting the fan and the Dragon Ball, Bulma will understand.
I wonder if I really should become his pupil? I'd rather not pick up his perverted habits. Goku thought to himself a bit disgusted at the idea of such things.
Roshi soon snapped out of it and said, "Well now young Goku, I'll make you a deal: I will lend you the Bansho Fan if you could get your sister to have some alone time with me."
Goku stared at Roshi for a few seconds. "... Master Roshi, I respect you, but I'd really rather not allow something like that happen to my sister."
Roshi sighed. "Darn, I guess it's understandable since you are her brother after all. Alright, how about this then? You let me invite her to my little island here for a day, how's that? You can come too if you want."
Goku thought about it, it didn't seem like anything bad or perverted, not too perverted anyway. "Okay, you've got a deal."
"Oh, and please don't mention any of this to Chi-Chi or her dad."
The boys went back to Chi-Chi. "So what was the condition?"
"It doesn't matter, Master Roshi is going to lend us the fan now." Goku said with a smile.
"He is? That's GREAT!" Chi-Chi jumped for joy.
"Alright! Now let me just find that fan." Roshi said excitedly about to go into his house to get the Legendary Fan.
Turtle then stopped him. "Wait, hold on Master! The Bansho Fan, you were using it as a place mat!"
That's when it dawned to him. "Oh-no! That was the Bansho Fan? I remembered I spilled some juice on it and I threw it away because it was stained and sticky. Never thought I'd actually needed it..."
"Oh-no! Now how will Papa and I get back home?" Chi-Chi cried.
"Now how will we fix West City?" Goku said sadly and guiltfully.
Master Roshi then got a determined look before saying, "Alright, enough with the waterworks. Since losing the fan was my fault, I'll personally go and extingush the flames on Fire Mountain myself."
Both Chi-Chi and Goku, who were drowning in their sorrow, looked back at him in shock and a little bit of hope. "You can do that?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Of course! You two kids meet me at Fire Mountain and you'll see what I'm truly capable of." Roshi said with a sly smile.
Goku's tail wagged like an excited dog. "If you can really put out the fire on the mountain, then we're saved!"
Goku and Chi-Chi hopped back on Nimbus. "Oh, but how will you get there? You can't ride the Nimbus."
"Don't worry, I have other means of transportation. COME TO ME BABY GAMERA!" Roshi yelled in the sky.
Goku and Chi-Chi looked up to see a shell of another turtle spinning around in the sky with rockets on the holes for the limbs. The spinning flying shell landed on the island in front of Roshi.
"You called?" Baby Gamera said as his head and limbs came out of his shell.
"Wow, I've never seen a flying turtle before." Goku said astounded.
"I need you to fly me to Fire Mountain." Roshi said.
"As you wish Master. Hop on."
"Alright then, we'll meet you there Master Roshi." Goku said eagerly. The Flying Nimbus took off with Chi-Chi and Goku back to Fire Mountain.
Master Roshi got on Baby Gamera's shell. The turtle's shell spun around and flew through the air after the faster yellow cloud. "Getting dizzy..."
Goku and Chi-Chi made it back to Fire Mountain and are now waiting for Master Roshi. "I'm glad to see you're safe again Chi-Chi." Ox-King said in relief when he saw his daughter.
"I'm glad too Daddy." Chi-Chi said with a smile.
"So where's the Bansho Fan?"
"It was lost." Goku answered.
"WHAT! Now how will we get back to the castle?" Ox-King yelled.
"Just calm before you blow like a volcano. Master Roshi is coming here himself to put out the flames." Goku said, a bit annoyed at having the large man yelling and his sensative ears could only take so much.
Goku then looked back at Bulma and Oolong. "Is he really coming here?" Oolong asked curiously.
"Yeah and I sort of had to make a deal with him before he agreed to this. Big sis, he's going to want to..." Goku hesitated, not sure how she would take it. Even though Roshi made it seem innocent by inviting her to his island, Bulma would most likely take it the wrong way.
"What did you do Goku?" Bulma asked, feeling a bit anxious since her little brother only got this nervous if something bad was going to happen.
"Master Roshi wants you to-" before the nervous tailed boy could tell her, Ox-King shouted. "I SEE HIM! MASTER IS HERE!"
Looking up in the sky, they see Master Roshi riding on the spinning shell of Baby Gamera. "Isn't he dizzy from having to ride that all the way here?" Goku wondered to curiously out loud.
Master Roshi jumped down from the spinning shell and landed on his two feet. Everyone was impressed. Ox-King ran over to him and quickly bowed in respect, causing a little quake, which sent the dizzy Turtle Hermit to the ground.
"Huh? Are you okay Master?" Ox-King asked in concern.
Goku sweatdropped. "I knew he'd be too dizzy to stand up."
Goku and Chi-Chi helped the poor dizzy old man to his feet. "That's the drawback of riding Gamera. He makes you so darn dizzy it's hard to see straight."
"You sure you gonna be okay enough to put out the fire?" Goku asked in both concern and curiousity if Roshi could really pull off putting out a mountain of fire. It didn't seem possible or logical, then again humans with tails shouldn't be possible or logical either.
"I'll be fine, but first thing's first..." Roshi turned to his former student Ox-King, ready to give him a lecture.
"Ox-King you big oaf! What's this rumor I've been hearing about you killing folks all because of some silly treasure? This is how you respect my school?" Roshi scolded Ox-King, who was bowing on his hands and knees in shame.
"Ohhh, I'm so sorry Master, please forgive me. I'll destroy all my treasure." Ox-King blubbered.
Oolong was staring at the giant ox from the Legend, seeing him on his hands and knees begging for forgivness to some old man... that's something the pig never thought he would see. "I don't believe my eyes... am I dreaming?"
"I can hardly believe it myself." Bulma agreed with the shape-shifting pig.
"Now, now, stop blubbering, you don't have to be rash. I just don't want you hurting others because of your greed, understand?" Roshi said calmly.
"I understand perfectly, thank you Master." Ox-King said in relief.
"Now before we begin, Goku, remember our deal?" Roshi asked eagerly to the tailed boy.
"Oh yeah. Um... big sis..." Goku started to say nervously to his older sister.
"What's wrong little bro? Why are you acting so nervous?" Bulma asked getting suspiscious to her little brother's behavior.
"Um... Master Roshi wants to talk to you about a little... deal we made to bring him here." Goku said with a quiet voice.
Master Roshi lead the two Briefs siblings behind another wall so Ox-King, Chi-Chi and Oolong didn't overhear them. Yamcha and Puar were still eavesdropping however, eager to find out what's going on.
"Okay, so what was the deal my little brother had to make to get your lazy butt over here?" Bulma demanded, already seeing that the Turtle Hermit was a pervert.
"Ooh, fiesty. I like em fiesty, heh, heh, heh." Roshi drooled and blushed.
"Yes, well um... Master Roshi wanted to invite you to his island home for a day, if that's okay with you big sis." Goku said nervously, he could swear his tail was stiffer then any board right now.
Bulma looked at Goku, then at Roshi. "That's it? That's easy, I was afraid you were going to do something dirty."
Goku let out the breath he's been holding in relief, glad she didn't take it the wrong way and try to strangle both him and Master Roshi. Even without training, the girl's got a good death grip.
"I'll go to your house only if you could extingush the fire and after my little brother and I find all the Dragon Balls." Bulma said.
"Baby, you've got yourself a deal! Just remember that promise now." Roshi said excitedly.
Goku smiled, glad that matter was settled, and let his body relax as it was stiff when he thought Bulma would strangle him or grab his tail and not let go.
Coming out of the wall, Master Roshi waved. "Alright, let's cool this mountain down!" Ox-King and Chi-Chi cheered happily.
Roshi took off the giant turtle shell he's been wearing on his back and his yellow orange jacket, showing his top body. The Turtle Hermit looked pretty frail, but if he really is Master Roshi, then he should be able to pull this off... or so Goku hoped.
Everyone watched intently while the old master faced Fire Mountain. Chi-Chi, Bulma, Oolong and even Goku were wondering if he could really pull this off.
Suddenly, Roshi's body bulked with muscles, surprising everyone except the Ox-King. The old man's body got bulkier within seconds, then started concentrating, he moved his hands around as if gathering invisible force to them.
"What's he going to do?" Goku asked, growing more and more astounded each second.
"Now this is a rare treat. Master's about to use his famous Kamehameha Wave." Ox-King said in awe.
Goku's eyes widened. "Ka...mehameha Wave? I think I've heard Legends about such a thing. One can gather ki energy and focus them all into one powerful blast. But I never thought I'd get the chance to see it, this'll be so cool!"
Yamcha, Puar, Chi-Chi, Oolong, Ox-King and Goku were all watching with anticipation while Roshi began gathering his ki energy into his hands. The now muscled Turtle Hermit put his palms together and curled his fingers, blue and white energy began glowing in his hands.
"KA... ME... HA... ME..." then he threw his hands out while firing a large bluish white beam at Fire Mountain. "HAAAAA!"
The beam hit the mountain, there was a bright explosion. Goku and everyone else had to shut their eyes due to the brightness. When Master Roshi powered down, he was a bit exhausted and the fire as well as the entire mountain were gone.
"Wew, still got it." Roshi said proudly.
"Wow... that was... way past amazing..." Goku was trembling with excitment, he was almost speechless.
Bulma and Oolong were both speechless, their eyes were bulged out of their sockets. Chi-Chi no longer had any doubt that this man is indeed Master Roshi.
"Uh... M-Master... my castle and the mountain..." Ox-King tried pointing out.
"Hm? Spit it out Ox. Did I or did I not put out the fire?"
"Well you did put it out, but Master... my castle and the mountain are..."
Roshi turned around to see nothing but rubble and streams of smoke now. "Wow-wee, not too bad for an old man, eh?"
"But... it's gone!" everyone pointed out.
"Oops, my bad. Guess I don't know my own strength." Roshi said embarrassed while everyone did an anime fall.
Bulma and Oolong went into the rubble, using her Dragon Radar to find the Dragon Ball. "Let's hope the Dragon Ball is still intact."
Bulma decided to let Goku have his chance in asking Master Roshi to take him in as a pupil, so she took Oolong with her instead to find the ball.
"Master Roshi! That was so cool! Could you teach me how to do that?" Goku asked eagerly, his tail moving around excitedly.
"Maybe, but it's not an easy technique to master. It took me fifty years to master it." Roshi said.
"Aw, fifty years? Bummer... hmm..." Goku got a little curious. Without really thinking about a target, the tailed boy decided to put his hands together like Master Roshi did and focused on his ki energy. Master Gohan taught him a little bit about ki before he died.
"Thank you Master, for putting the fire out. Now it's a lot more peaceful cooler here." Ox-King said in gratitude as Roshi put his clothes and shell back on.
"Don't thank me, I completely destoryed your castle." Roshi sighed.
"Don't worry about it, we can always build a new one. We're just glad the fire is out now." Chi-Chi said happily.
Then the three of them turned to see a certain boy with a brown furry tail was trying to do what Roshi just did. "Ka... me... ha... me... HA!"
To everyone's, even Goku's, surprise, a small blast of bluish white energy came out of his hands and damaged the red car. "Oh... I actually did it! It's nowhere near as powerful as Master Roshi's, but I didn't think I'd even get a spark, let alone a little blast." then he looked at the ruined car and sweatdropped.
"Oops... guess I shouldn't have been facing our only means of transportation. Bulma's not gonna like this."
"Well now, I'm impressed. I certainly didn't expect you to be able to do the wave on your first try, well done." Roshi said impressed.
Goku turned to him. "Uh... thank you Master. Master Gohan taught me a little bit about ki and Martial Arts."
"Gohan? You don't mean Gohan Son, do you?"
"Yeah, he was another one of your students, wasn't he?"
"Of course he was. He was my best student yet. Oh, I remember now. Weeks ago, he called me and told me he found a little boy with a tail had great potential and wanted me to train him. So, that was you?"
"Uh-huh."
"So how is Gohan now?"
Goku's happy expression soon turned sad as he remembered all too well what happened to his mentor back at Mt. Paozu. "He... he died protecting me from two powerful robots."
"WHAT! Gohan's DEAD! Oh, what a tragic... truly a great man like him didn't deserve to die, not so soon." Roshi said sadly.
"Yeah, there was nothing I could've done to save him." Goku sighed sadly.
"There now, no need to get upset over something that was out of your control. Gohan did what he had to do and I think it's time I did as well. Goku, after you and your sister finish your quest, I'll be more then happy to take you on as my pupil."
Goku's eyes widened in shock, the boy was clearly expecting a struggle to get the Legendary Turtle Hermit to take him in, now he was offering him to! What a turn of events.
"Th-thank you Master! It's an honor to be your student. I promise to work hard to get stronger." Goku bowed in respect.
"Be sure to bring your sister as well, after all; we did have a deal." Roshi smiled.
"I-I will, thank you again Master." Goku couldn't have felt happier now, his dreams are finally coming true.
"I FOUND IT! THE SEVENTH-STAR BALL!" Bulma shouted in the distant. Goku turned to see Oolong jumping for joy while Bulma was waving an orange ball in her hands in the air.
"We found the sixth Dragon Ball and I got accepted to be Master Roshi's student. This day couldn't get any better." Goku said with a big smile, completely forgetting about Yamcha and Puar. They were still spying on them.
"Master, this is getting dangerous. Now the kid is going to be trainned under the Legendary Master Roshi himself!" Puar was scared now.
"Don't you worry Puar, no matter how strong the brat gets, he'll be as weak as a newborn monkey the second we grab his tail." Yamcha said confidently.
"But are you sure you'll be able to get to his tail?"
When Bulma saw what her little brother did to the car, she screamed. "GOKU BRIEFS! That was our only means of transportation! Now how will we get to the last Dragon Ball?"
"I'm sorry Bulma! I didn't think I'd be able to even create a spark!" Goku waved his hands in front to protect himself from his sister's wrath.
"You shouldn't have been facing the car in the first place, genius! Now what'll we do?" Bulma snapped.
"It's times like these I wish I could just turn into a bird and fly out of here, but no, I just had to eat that dang pill." Oolong grumbled.
Ox-King smiled. "Hey, if it's a vehical you're in need of, I could give you one of my older models."
"Really? You'd do that Ox-King?" Goku said with a happy smile, glad to be out of trouble with his teen sister.
"Sure, it's the least I could do after you helped put out the flames on Fire Mountain. Here you go." Ox-King threw a Capsule and a hover car popped out.
"Wow! A hover car!" Goku jumped in joy, he loved flying, that's why he enjoyed the Flying Nimbus so much.
"Yeah, now this is more like it. I guess I could let you off the hook this time little bro, but please don't destroy this vehical." Bulma said to Goku.
"Right, I promise I won't." Goku said with a smile.
Chi-Chi then walked up to Goku. "Hey Goku, I was wondering... do you think you'll think about me again?"
"Think about you? Uh... I guess." Goku said nervously, hopping she didn't think he was in love with her or anything, they just met after all, although she is a sweet and fiesty girl and she is kinda cute... not to mention the adult version of her in his future vision was hot. Goku mentally smacked himself for thinking such things at such a young age, Bulma must be rubbing off of him.
Chi-Chi blushed and smiled. "I hope we see each other again soon, Goku."
"Yeah, me too, Chi-Chi." Goku smiled back.
Bulme smirked. "Aw, is a certain little brother finding love at the age of 12?"
This caused Goku to blush and Chi-Chi nearly fainted. "Bulma! We're just friends!"
"Suuure. I 'believe' you little bro." Bulma laughed while Goku looked down in embarrassment and fiddled with his tail like a nervous boy.
"Can we go now?" Oolong sighed impatiently, not liking that Goku's getting all the girl's attention nowadays.
Bulma started up the car. Goku gulped and paled as he remembered why he never liked riding in a vehical; a crazy teen girl like Bulma only means suicide behind the wheel.
"Here we go!" Bulma pushed the gas peddle and they took off while hovering in the air. Goku was screaming his lungs out again and Oolong was covering his big ears from the screaming kid.
"Oh relax already Goku! This is fun!" Bulma cheered.
"Is your definition of fun; death?" Goku yelled.
"You can fight monsters, use the Kamehameha Wave and fight bandits without blinking an eye yet you're afraid of a little car ride? I'll never understand you." Oolong grumbled.
"That's my little brother, strong but strange." Bulma laughed as Goku blushed and glared at both of them.
Chapter 13, Rabbit, The Carrot Magician
Days had passed since the trio left Fire Mountain. They are on route to the last Dragon Ball, which is really far away. Oolong was driving the hover car, Bulma was boredly watching the sceneary go by and Goku, after calming down, was taking a little nap in the seats.
No monsters or bandits tried attacking them yet, so the young tailed boy warrior decided to get some shut eye after making sure Oolong wouldn't crash the car.
Yamcha and Puar had to stay close to them because the car they gave to them had the tracking device and it's now destroyed, so they switched to a hover car of their own. "Stay out of sight Puar, we don't want them seeing us just yet."
"Right Yamcha." Puar was driving.
Bulma was glad her little brother finally stopped screaming and felt comfortable enough to sleep in a running vehical. Still bored, she checked her Dragon Radar.
"Still not even close. What a drag, I didn't think it would take us this long to get the last Dragon Ball." she sighed.
"Look on the bright side; at least we never died after risking our hides so many times." Oolong said, knowing a bored Bulma would equal disaster.
"Yeah, I suppose you're right. Still, it'd be nice if we had something to do other then just sitting here all day long." Bulma yawned.
While sleeping, Goku had another vision of the future.
*Vision*
Huh? Am I dreaming? No... this must be another vision of the future.
I see myself, Bulma, Oolong... we're with Yamcha and Puar? They don't seem to be fighting us.
It looks like the five of us are trapped in some kind of weird metal like room. The ceiling... must be some kind of temper glass, otherwise I know I could've busted us out. Hang on... the moon... it's full on that night. Glad it doesn't effect me while I see it in a vision.
"We're gonna die tomorrow. We've got to do something or we're toast... literally." Yamcha said, anger and determination in his face.
"But even my Kamehameha Wave isn't enough to get us out of here, what can we do?" my counterpart asked.
"I don't know, but we can't just sit here and wait for our deaths!" Yamcha snapped.
What happened to us? Why are we all trapped here? And why are we going to die the next day? Looks like it's going to happen some time soon too.
*End vision*
Goku still had his eyes closed, but he was awake, he could hear Bulma yelling. "WE'RE ALMOST OUT OF GAS!"
"We should've filled up on that last town!" Oolong cried.
"Wait, I see another town up ahead. It's small and looks like a dump, but it'll have to do. Drive us there Oolong." Bulma said.
Goku was about to open his eyes to see where they are, until another vision entered his head.
*Vision*
What's this? It's the same place we were trapped in, but something's wrong with my counterpart. This Goku is acting weird... why are my pupils red? Why is my body thumping like that?
Oh-no... I looked at the full moon again, didn't I? Or I will... I can see my future counterpart growing big, my clothes got torn right off. I couldn't stop watching as my counterpart's body sprouted dark brown fur all over his body, his face turned into a snout with razor sharp teeth.
I saw Bulma, Yamcha, Puar and Oolong were all backed up at the corner, screaming their heads off... I don't blame them. I can see my counterpart grew bigger and broke the glass with ease. It's that ape monster... Oozaru... that name just popped into my head.
Please... don't hurt my sister and friends. I can see my Oozaru self was going on a rampage in the... castle? Yeah, we were in a castle, and Oozaru is destroying it. BULMA! OOLONG! YAMCHA! PUAR! GET OUT OF THERE!
*End vision*
Goku opened his eyes and sat up in shock, his face was filled with sweat and his breathing was labor.
"Hey... are you okay little bro? Did you have a bad dream?" Bulma asked him in concern.
Goku turned to her, then to Oolong and was relieved they were safe. "I-it's nothing to be worried about." he lied, not wanting to tell them he's going to look at the full moon again and may end up killing them in uncontrollable rampage.
Goku made a silent vow not to look at the full moon so that future does not come to be. "You don't look so hot... did you have a vision of the future again?"
"Vision? Future? What, is he psychic or something?" Oolong snickered, not knowing of Goku's little gift (or curse) of getting glimpses of the future.
"Well sort of. My little brother here sometimes gets glimpses of the future, but we don't know when it will happen, just that it will happen." Bulma said, knowing it's not much of a big deal if the pig knew about Goku's little ability.
"You've gotta be pulling my bacon. There's no way anybody can see the future, it's impossible. Fortunetellers and whatever are just pure nonsense, a scam just to get money from suckers." Oolong didn't believe such a thing.
Bulma glared at the stubborn pig. "I'll have you know that is was because of my little brother's vision that saved the people of West City from death!"
While Bulma and Oolong were arguing whether or not Goku could really see the future, the tailed kid had this time thinking to himself about his latest vision.
Apparently while we were trying to get the last Dragon Ball, Yamcha and Puar decided to join in on us. Then we went into a castle, probably where the Dragon Ball is, and got trapped... then I looked at the full moon and turned into that ape monster again... the Oozaru. I must not allow myself to look at the moon, for the safety of my friends... and family.
Bulma, after arguing with Oolong, forgot about Goku's distress earlier. The trio finally reached the small town, which seemed more like a humble village with buildings. It was nothing like West City use to be.
"Glad we made it to town before the gas tank went empty." Oolong said in relief.
"Excuse us sir, we would like to fill up our vehical please." Goku called out to the manager of the tiny Gas Station.
The man, and a few other passer byers, took on look at Bulma and screamed in fear. All the bystanders ran away in fear.
This baffled the three Dragon Ball Hunters. "Hm? Are they scared of my sister?" Goku asked.
"Apparently they've never seen anyone so ugly before." Oolong smirked.
Bulma banged the shape-shifting pig upside the head. "I don't know what their problem is and I don't care, let them get scared over a teenage girl. Listen, you two stay here, I'm going to see if I could find some Capsules and decent clothes to wear. I've got to get out of this ridiculous bunny costume."
"But big sis, I was going to buy us some food. We could use a good meal after eating nothing but mushrooms and acorns for the past two weeks." Goku didn't like eating such foods, but he couldn't stand killing animals for meat, he rather eat them store bought.
"Oh it's okay little bro. I'll buy us some food too and I'll be sure to get enough for your bottomless pit of a stomach." Bulma chuckled as she took her bag and walked around town to find stores.
"Hey, could you stop trembling and fill us up?" Oolong said a bit impatiently to the still trembling manager.
"Y-yes sir! I shall fill it up right away!" he said quickly and nervously as he got out the fuel nuzzel.
Something's not right about this place. These people shouldn't be afraid of us, especially since we've never been here before. I wonder what's going on? Goku thought suspiciously as he watched the nervous man fill up their hover car's tank.
Meanwhile, Bulma was walking around and noticed every person that looked at her ran away, trembled or screamed in terror. "What's going on? Why are these people so afriad of me?"
She soon found a place that sold Capsules. "Oh good, they do sell Capsules after all. Fluffy beds here I come! I was getting tired of sleeping on dead leaves every night."
The bunny girl walked into the store. The store owner was nervously watching her as she looked at the selection in the glass case. "Hmm... not much of a selection, but in this dump I'm happy to just see Capsules here. Alright, I'll take these..."
Bulma pointed at each Capsules she wanted, one was a house Capsule. The owner quickly and nervously picked up all the Capsules she pointed at until he gave her a handful of them. It was a far cry from the all the Capsules she had in her Capsule Case before, but at least it was better then nothing.
"Okay, that should do it. How much do I owe you?" she asked getting her wallet out.
"What? Oh-no! Please just take them and leave." the man said nervously.
"Huh? Oh... uh... okay then." Bulma was puzzled that she would get all these Capsules for free, especially the house one since those are really expensive. Oh well, at least she'll have enough money to get food for her bottomless pit of a brother.
Bulma went shopping for some clothes after a while, glad she finally found something that's comfortable, her size and best of all; ditch that horrid bunny costume.
"The clothes aren't really my taste, but it's comfortable and it's much better then that dumb bunny outfit." Bulma said as she looked at herself in the mirror. Then she noticed she forgot to take off the bunny ears. "Oops, forgot about these."
When Bulma took off the bunny ears, the store manager, who was shaking in fear, looked at her stunned. "Wait... you mean you're not a part of the Rabbit Mob?" he asked while pointing at her.
Bulma looked at him. "Huh? Rabbit Mob? What's that?"
"GET OUT OF HERE! HOW DARE YOU PLAY SUCH A DIRTY TRICK!" the manager screamed at her, chasing the clueless teen girl out of his shop.
"Well that was rude. Why would I play a trick like that?" Bulma grumbled. As she walked around, she noticed nobody was looking at her anymore. It's as if when she changed out of that bunny outfit she's just another person to them.
"That man mentioned a Rabbit Mob... maybe that's why everyone was so afraid of me?" Bulma guessed.
After their gas tank was full, the man said, "It's filled to the brim."
"Could you wait for a bit? Our friend have all the cash, so she'll have to pay you." Oolong said.
"Eh? N-no! It's on the house!" the man quickly said before running off.
"Lucky break, wouldn't you say?" Oolong smiled.
"More like too good to be true. Why would everyone be so afraid of my sister?" Goku wondered.
It was at that time Bulma, while holding a lot of shopping bags, arrived. "Check it out, I've bought us enough food to last for a few weeks, just don't eat everything at once, little brother."
"That's great!" Goku cheered as Bulma gave him three large sirloins, those are enough to feed an army of lions.
While Goku gobbled down happily on his meaty meal, Bulma was working on her make-up and Oolong was chewing on a candy bar, a pair of men wearing rabbit ears were walking around town. All the people were running away in terror as they passed them by.
The two men taking any food or things from stores and leaving a big mess. Nobody dared to oppose them. "These apples are rotten! We want our money back!" one of them snapped at the person who gave them the apples.
"But it was free!" the person protested in terror.
"Maybe you didn't hear him right, he said we want our money back!" the other man wearing rabbit ears demanded.
"R-right..."
Everywhere they went, they caused chaos and mayhem. Children were being brought into their homes, some got unlucky and tripped in front of the two rabbit men and as punishment they were smacked across the face harshly, leaving behind a crying mother and unconscious children.
Goku ate two sirloins and was half-way done with the third when he noticed those two rabbit men were causing trouble and breaking barrels of fruits. This angered the little tailed warrior.
"Those must be the Rabbit Mob I heard about. No wonder everyone was so scared of me when they thought I was one of them." Bulma noticed too.
"They're even worse then I was." Oolong noted.
"Hey lookie here, a babe." one of them said with a smirk looking at Bulma.
Goku glared as they looked at his sister. "What's a hot babe like you hanging out with these children? Why don't you hang out with a couple of real men?" they said with sinister smiles.
"I don't see any." Bulma snapped.
"Hey now, becareful what you say babe. We are the Rabbit Mob and we are known to be ruthless, you must be new here if you didn't know that."
"I don't know what your deal is, but we're leaving." Bulma snapped.
"Hey now babe, if that's how you want it, then we'll have to teach you not to mess with the Rabbit Mob." they threatened.
"Goku..."
"Already on it." Goku smirked, glad that he could finally get some exercise after sitting in the car for ten days or so, and he didn't like it when bad guys try to harass his big sister.
Goku jumped and landed between his sister and the two rabbit men. "Would you look at that? Little monkey boy thinks he can take on the Rabbit Mob."
"Let's make an example out of him." both of them lunged at the tailed boy.
Goku smirked before he jumped and kicked one of them right in the face, then he proceeded to punch the other one right in the gut, both of them fell down in severe pain, leaving Goku putting up a victory hand sign with a smirk.
"Can we go now before something goes horribly wrong like it always does?" Oolong suggested nervously.
"Relax Oolong, my little bro got this handled." Bulma said confidently.
One of the rabbit men took out a commuticator. "Boss, we've got a big problem on our hands. Come to town, quick!"
With that, all the townspeople ran around in panic. "Now you've done it! The boss is coming! You've doomed us all!"
"I don't like where this is going." Goku said a bit nervous when he saw everyone locked their doors in an instant.
"You think we should get out of town before this big boss comes?" Goku asked Bulma.
"I say we should." Oolong nodded.
"Now hang on you two, we might as well stay and see what's all the fuss is about. Maybe if we get rid of the boss, these people can be free of this Rabbit Mob." Bulma suggested.
"I don't know, I've got a bad feeling about this." Goku said seriously.
Yamcha and Puar were watching the scene. "Those two idiots didn't know what they were getting themselves into. The kid is powerful."
"But who's the boss that everyone is so scared of?" Puar asked curiously.
"Who knows? I'm sure the tailed brat can handle him too." Yamcha said.
Soon, a van shaped like a rabbit with rabbit ears, eyes, nose and whiskers came into town. A white anthropic rabbit came out of the car, wearing sunglasses.
"Oh boss!" the two men bowed to him.
"Enough of your blubbering. Show me the one who dares to threaten the Rabbit Mob." the rabbit boss demanded.
"He is boss." they both pointed at Goku.
"He's the boss? He's a furry rabbit. Even I can take him on." Oolong laughed.
"Don't underestimate your oppenents just because they look cute and fuzzy. You should know that looks alone never determine the outcome of a battle." Goku said seriously to the shape-shifting pig.
"Still, it's hard to believe someone like him could be the boss of anything." Bulma smirked, having full confidences in her little brother's skills to take anyone on.
"That little runt? And you call yourselves rabbits? I'm ashamed of you boys." the rabbit scolded.
"We're sorry boss, but the kid is unbelievably strong."
"Nevermind, my power never fails." the rabbit jumped high in the sky before landing in front of Bulma.
"That rabbit, I felt like I've seen him somewhere before." Yamcha said to Puar.
"Why don't we shake hands baby?" the rabbit said to Bulma holding out his furry white hand.
"Don't trust him Bulma!" Goku said, looking at the rabbit with a glare.
"Now I remember! His touch is his weapon! If they touch him they're goners!" Yamcha realized in horror.
Before the desert bandit could warn them, Bulma slapped the rabbit's hand, therefore touching him. "I'm not about to make any deals with you bunny boy, now get out of here!"
"Heh, heh, it's too late for you; you touched me."
Bulma suddenly poofed and literally turned into a carrot before Goku and Oolong's very eyes. Both of them gasped. "BULMA! YOU'VE TURNED MY SISTER INTO A CARROT!" Goku screamed in both shock and anger.
"That's right, would you like a taste?"
"His name is Monster Carrot. He learned the art of turning any living creatures into carrots with his touch, nobody's been able to beat him." Yamcha groaned.
"What should we do now, Yamcha? The kid, the pig and the girl were our only hope to finding that last Dragon Ball." Puar asked.
"Turn her back, right now!" Goku demanded.
"Goku, use your Power Pole, so you don't have to touch him." Oolong suggested.
"Good idea Oolong." Goku smirked as he drew out his Power Pole, glad he had a weapon to fight with.
Goku slammed his Power Pole at Monster Carrot, but the agile bunny dodged his red pole. "Whoa there tailed brat! You take one more step and I'll eat your precsious sister." Monster Carrot threatened, holding the now orange vegetable Bulma in his paws, making Goku stopped dead in his tracks, not wanting his sister to beome this rabbit's next snack.
"Don't you DARE!" Goku hissed, but Monster Carrot was serious as he waved the former teen near his mouth as a warning.
"What'll we do now Oolong?" Goku whispered to the pig, only to turn around and see the shape-shifting coward drove off.
"You're not a pig! You're a BIG CHICKEN!" Goku yelled in anger at the pig abandoning him like this.
"Too bad for you that your friend is too much of a wimp. You two boys, teach this brat some manners. Make an example out of him for messing with the Rabbit Mob." Monster Carrot said with a pleased grin.
Goku could do nothng but take the hits and beatings the other two guys gave him, because if he fought back then his sister would end up in pieces in the rabbit's stomach, the poor boy is trapped.
"Now what'll we do Yamcha? They're the only ones who could find the last Dragon Ball for us." Puar said to her partner.
"We have no choice Puar, we're going to have to help them. At this rate they'll all be finished. Puar, I want you to turn into a bird and snatch that carrot, don't let Monster Carrot touch you or you'll end up like that girl." Yamcha said.
"Right, here goes!" Puar transformed into a small purple bird.
Yamcha hopped on a roof right above the two guys beating on a certain tailed boy. The bandit waited until his partner in crime swooped down and swiftly snatched the carrot away from Monster Carrot's greedy paws.
Seeing his chance, Yamcha jumped and kicked the two guys away from Goku, who now had a headache since they mostly pummeled his head.
"Okay Goku, we've got the carrot, now you can beat them up all you want." Yamcha said to the tailed boy, who looked at him.
"It's you! Why are you helping us?" Goku asked.
"This is no time to ask questions! GET MONSTER CARROT!" Yamcha shouted, not wanting the kid to know he's been following them even though Goku already knew when he saw him and Puar with Chi-Chi back at Fire Mountain.
Goku saw Puar, as a bird, had Bulma safely in her beak. Goku smirked as he picked up his Power Pole. "Payback time!"
The tailed warrior easily brushed aside the two men, now he's chasing after the rabbit himself. Monster Carrot was hopping from building to building to get Puar and his prescious carrot. Puar looked like she was about to get away, until she accidently flew right into a building, dropping the carrot and herself to the ground.
While the carrot and Puar were falling, Goku, Yamcha and Monster Carrot all jumped towards them. "If we smash into him, we'll touch him and turn into carrots!" Yamcha quickly said.
Goku, not liking the idea of turning into a vegetable, used his Power Pole to push his sister carrot out of Monster Carrot's hands and grabbed it safely.
"Now, change my sister back!" Goku demanded.
"Oh yeah?" Monster Carrot smirked, looking at Puar beside him. "What about your little friend here? You wouldn't want anything happening to her, right?"
"I don't think I have to worry about her." Goku smirked, pointing behind him. Monster Carrot turned around and screamed when he saw Puar transformed herself into another Monster Carrot!
All the villagers were watching from their windows, astounded that there are two Monster Carrots and that anyone in their right mind would even think about taking on the Rabbit Mob and their Leader.
Puar, as Monster Carrot, walked towards the real Monster Carrot, who was backing away in fear not knowing that Puar cannot really turn him into a carrot. "Touch me, just one little touch, c'mon." she bluffed.
"Stay back, don't come any closer!" Monster Carrot fell for it big time.
"Alright, I've seen enough. POWER POLE EXTEND!" Goku's Power Pole grew in length just before he whacked the bunny's head! The poor rabbit's eyes were bulged out of their sockets as he yelled in pain while clutching his poor abused head.
"Hey! If you don't change my sister back, then I'm going to whack you again until your skull breaks!" Goku warned.
Monster Carrot was scared now, it wasn't just a threat, the tailed boy would go through it if he didn't change his sister back. "Oh... alright, fine, you win." in about three claps and a step, the carrot transformed back into a teen girl.
"Huh? Wow... I feel like I was a vegetable." Bulma said a bit dazed.
"Oh Bulma! I was worried you'd be a carrot forever! It's a good thing Yamcha and Puar came to help us." Goku smiled in relief.
"Huh? Yamcha's here? Where is that hunk?" Bulma said excitedly looking around for the handsome young man.
Goku sweatdropped, he couldn't believe how fast she forgot how much danger she was in seconds ago from being someone's lunch. Goku noticed Puar and Yamcha were gone, probably hiding. "Guess they left."
All the people in the town came out of their houses cheering, they were now free from the Rabbit Mob thanks to Goku, Yamcha and Puar.
"You know, I found it easier to be around her when she was just a carrot." Yamcha said nervously while hidding behind a building.
Goku told Bulma the whole story before they found Oolong. "So where were you during all this Oolong?"
"I was just making sure nobody stole the car." Oolong said.
"Whatever, I doubt Oolong could've done much to help anyway. Let's just go and get that last Dragon Ball so we can restore West City." Goku said with a yawn, the tailed boy was a bit exhausted after seeing his older sister being turned into a carrot and almost eatened.
"The Dragon Ball shouldn't be too far now, about another day or two we should be able to reach our destination." Bulma said while looking at her Radar.
So now, the trio Dragon Ball Hunters are on their way to the last Dragon Ball along with the two bandits; Yamcha and Puar. What danger lies ahead for Goku and his friends once they get to their destination? Goku's vision tells of a dangerous trap they'll be walking in, can he prevent such a vision? And what about the vision of turning into Oozaru again? Will Goku be able to prevent that too, or will he involuntary endanger his friends and family again? Find out, on the next Chapter of Dragon Ball Rewritten, Of Past, Present and Future.
