Act Four
"Hi, Dad. Bye, Dad," Bulma Briefs told her father as she zipped through their house in search of the DragonBall Gems she kept hidden. "Okay guys and Chi-Chi take a gander at these!" She proclaimed as she hopped back into her car.
"Woah! No way!" Chi-Chi said as she looked at the two orange orbs with stars painted on them. "Bulma, these are beautiful! I've never seen jewels like these!"
"Ah, these are awesome!" Goku said as he took one of the orbs from Chi-Chi. The one he now held had two stars on it and seemed to give of a mysterious aura on its own.
"Those two are arshinchou and oshinchou, the two and five star balls" Bulma told them as she put her foot on the gas.
"Bulma, we are we going now?" Krillin asked as she sped onto the highway.
"Fry Pan Mountain. We have to get Chi-Chi's Gem remember?"
"You live on Fry Pan Mountain?" Goku asked in shock.
"Yes." Chi-Chi replied.
"Isn't that where-"
"The Ox King lives. Yes he's my father."
"Uh, okay. But I was talking about where the smell of smoke was coming from."
"Say what?!" Chi-Chi asked in shock.
Off in the distance just beyond on a hill the Ox King's palace was engulfed in flames. The extreme heat was carried several miles and as Bulma drove into the heat wave her tires began to melt.
"Guess we're walking," Krillin said trying to remain calm.
Sadly, Chi-Chi was the exact opposite. "Daddy!" She cried as she ran into the inferno.
"Chi-Chi! No!" Goku cried as he rushed after her.
"Goku I'm coming with you!" Krillin cried. But as he spoke a burning tree fell….blocking the path Goku and Chi-Chi had taken.
"Oh no" Bulma said as she fainted.
"Ah! Bulma snap out of it!"
What better wy to return by writing a clff hanger. Yes, I'm still alive! Since it's officially summer I have no more excuses left nt to finish this so... I'll keep going. I'll do my best.
Maybe. I think.
