I'm late, I know. My life has been crazy with work, college and my other stories. I promise that this chapter will be worth the wait. You can tell by the title that the shipping will begin some point soon. I won't make you wait any longer. I don't own any form of Dragon Ball. On with the chapter.
Kame House
Master Roshi had his collection of magazines out in the open. They were of a mature nature, and he usually had them put away. The door to his house bursted open.
"We're here Master Roshi!" shouted Milla as she began to walk into the building. Master Roshi stood up with a frightened look on his face.
"Milla!" shouted Master Roshi. "You forgot to knock!" Milla gasped.
"I'm sorry!" She slammed the door shut. She knocked on the door and waited. She could hear the sound of doors being opened and closed. Master Roshi opened the front door.
"Now come in. How did things go Milla?" Milla looked down as she sat in a chair.
"We had to use the wish for something else because someone was about to make a bad wish." Roshi sighed. Bad men always mess with good deeds. He bet all his money that it was that little blue imp and his group that came to his island looking for the dragon ball. They really did deserve the hole in the side of their submarine.
Milla's head shot up.
"But now I'm here to train my... Oh yeah. My tail's already been cut off. I'll just say that I'm ready to train." Roshi looked at her.
"Who the heck..."
"Pilaf."
"No thanks. I'm not hungry." Milla laughed.
"No. Pilaf is the little blue guy who tried to make the bad wish and cut off my tail."
'When I get my hands on that little imp!' thought Master Roshi as he growled. He shook it off as it wouldn't do any good to dwell on the past. "My training won't be easy little one. Oh! I see you brought lunch."
Oolong took a step back.
"I ain't no one's lunch pal!" shouted Oolong. Milla jumped to Oolong's defense. Roshi laughed.
"Haven't ya ever heard of a joke? Anywho, let's get you a gi." As they began to get ready, a boat was making its way for the island. The captain of the boat, a short bald kid who seemed to lack a nose, was sporting a yellow short sleeved Chinese garb adorned with purple straps in each side. The sleeves were folded to make it sleeveless. He also wore orange Chinese pants with a purple belt on his waist, white shins and an ochre Chinese toe shoes. He spotted the island and put away his telescope.
He set his foot on top of the bow.
"I've finally found the turtle hermit." said the boy with determination. "Once I get him to train me, I'll finally..." He was cut off when the ship rammed into the beach. He was sent flying forward as he landed on the island. When he lifted his head, he saw something, rather someone, unexpected.
He saw a girl with long black hair and eyes of the same color standing over him. She was wearing an orange gi that had the kanji for turtle on the left pectoral area, a blue sash around the waist, a red and blue headband, a brown armband, and black shoes. She kneeled down to get a better look at him. Was this the turtle hermit? No it couldn't because the turtle hermit was supposed to be an old man.
"Are you okay?" asked the girl as she pulled the boy out of his thoughts. He quickly got up, not wanting to look like a wimp in front of a girl.
"Yeah I'm alright." said the captain of the small boat. "Who're you supposed to be?"
"I'm supposed to be Son Milla. Is something making me look like someone else?" Krillin deadpanned.
"No. I was just asking who you were."
"Okay!" Master Roshi walked over. Krillin gasped.
"You must be Muten Roshi, the turtle hermit!"
"No I just happen to wear a turtle shell on my back, and live on an island all alone. Of course I'm the turtle hermit!" shouted Master Roshi. "Who're you and what do ya want?" Krillin quickly regained his composure.
"My name is Krillin sir. I come from the Orin Temple. I want to train under you." Milla jumped in front of them.
"You want to train while he stands on top of you?" asked Milla. Krillin once again deadpanned while Master Roshi just laughed. "What?"
"He means that he wants me to train him." answered Master Roshi. Milla gave him a reassuring "Oh" as she rubbed the back of her head. "In any case boy, give me one good reason I should consider training you." Krillin ran back to his ship. He came back with a stack of magazines.
Roshi looked at the one on top. He gawked as his face turned red. Milla started to walk over. Master Roshi quickly picked up the magazines and ran back to his house. Sounds of doors opening, shutting, then being locked were heard from the building.
He came out and beckoned the kids to his location. When they arrived, Krillin was caught off guard by Oolong sitting on the couch watching tv.
"I thought you live alone." said Krillin. "If she's your student then what's that pig doing here?" Oolong's ear twitched. He wanted to transform into something that could scare him. Milla didn't give him the chance.
"He's my piggy!" cheered Milla. She had to say it then. Krillin bursted into laughter. Oolong threw a rock at him.
"Very funny acorn." said Oolong.
"That's enough!" shouted Master Roshi. He cleared his throat. He turned to Milla and Krillin. "Before you two can train under me, I have a little task for you to complete. I need you to bring me a... maid."
"A maid?" questioned Krillin. Milla tilted her head. Krillin pushed some of her hair out of his face.
"What's that?" asked Milla. "Is it a food?" Krillin groaned.
"A maid is essentially a lady you pay to clean your house." Krillin rubbed his temples as Milla gave out another "Oh, okay."
"Yes a maid." answered Master Roshi. "There is a catch however."
"We have to..." began Milla.
"That means there's a condition. She has to be beautiful." Krillin frowned. Sailing all that time would take forever. However if that's what it took, then he'd go through the toughest storms to...
His thoughts were cut off as Milla pulled him along.
"Let's go find that maid!" shouted Milla. "We'll be back soon Master Roshi!"
"Back soon!" shouted Krillin. "Do you know how long it'll take to sail to the mainland and..."
"FLYING NIMBUS!" Milla's golden cloud flew over to them at her call. Krillin blinked multiple times. Milla hopped on. Krillin tried to hop on too, but he fell through.
"Darn it!" yelped Krillin as he fell on his bum. Milla laughed as she helped Krillin up on the cloud.
"Just hold on and you won't fall off." Krillin held on to her shoulders as they took off. They were gone for a while. Master Roshi exited his house as they returned. They had an elderly woman with them.
"Isn't she pretty Master Roshi?" asked Milla. Master Roshi walked over. He gave her a once over.
"Not gonna work." said Roshi.
"But she's the right age."
"Try someone a little younger." He walked back to the building. Milla turned to the elderly woman.
"Sorry Beatrice. I thought you were pretty. I'll take you back to the mansion." Milla carried the sad elderly woman back to her estate. She and Krillin returned with another woman, this time she looked to be somewhere between forty and fifty.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" scolded Master Roshi.
"Beatrice was seventy-five, Lula here is forty-one." introduced Krillin.
"I don't care if she's thirty-six, I said young." He walked back inside. Krillin scratched his head. Milla twiddled her thumbs. Krillin suddenly got an idea.
When he told Milla, she thought it was brilliant. Well, that was the case until...
"I ain't wearing that!" shouted Milla in protest. Krillin held up a standard maid uniform in her size and a blonde wig.
"If you don't wanna wear the blonde wig we can put your hair up in a ponytail." appeased Krillin.
"I don't care about the wig! I'm talking about the outfit! If I can't fight in it or it looks awkward I'm not wearing it!"
"It might be three strikes you're out Milla! You can fight in this, but what makes it so awkward?"
"It's all frilly and I don't wanna! What makes him wanna girl who wears this anyway!?"
"I'm not gonna answer that. Now put it on!" Krillin jumped at Milla. She instantly pulled out her poll and aimed it at him.
"Power Poll Extend!" The poll did as commanded and rammed into the bald boy. She catapulted him into a blonde teenager. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I just didn't wanna wear the weird outfit he was trying to make me wear."
The blonde teen sat up as Krillin scooted back. She wore a light green tank top, yellow shorts with a red belt, brown fingerless gloves and red shoes with the Nike signia worn with green socks. She also spotted a red ribbon in her hair. She looked at the outfit. She turned to Krillin with rage filled eyes.
"So ya think it's funny to make girls wear frilly outfits just because huh?!" growled the blonde. Krillin backed up against the wall as the girl stood up. She pulled out an automatic rifle and pointed it at him. "Let's see how funny it is when you're Swiss cheese!" She let loose all the bullets.
Krillin danced as he avoided the deadly projectiles. He bumped into a counter. A pepper shaker fell over, dumping some of its contents on the blonde. She started scrunching her face.
She sneezed, then she puffed up in smoke. When the smoke cleared, the kids were in shock. A blue haired girl in the exact same outfit stood in the blonde's place but, thankfully for Krillin, she wasn't holding the gun. She saw Krillin with his back against the counter, gasped, and ran to check on him.
"Are you okay?" asked the once blonde teen. Krillin stared at her wide eyed.
"You don't remember what happened?" asked Krillin.
"I don't. Last thing I remember was going to the market and talking to this nice man. The next moment here we are." Krillin smirked. Not only would she fit Master Roshi's criteria but she'd be good pay back as well.
After getting her to agree to come with them, they took off on the nimbus. On the ride there, her and Milla has some girl talk. Milla learned that the girl's name is Launch and Krillin learned that girl talk can drive a man crazy. They arrived on the island. Master Roshi came out.
He gawked at the girl before him.
"That's more like it!" shouted Master Roshi. "She'll definitely do." He hopped around Launch, which seemed confusing to Milla. Some sand reached Launch's nose, causing Krillin to step back in fear. She scrunched her face.
She started to sneeze. Master Roshi stared in confusion at Krillin's expression. They waited for the sneeze, but it never came.
"What?" asked Launch. Krillin nervously laughed. She suddenly sneezed, causing Krillin to hide behind his ship. She was engulfed in smoke. Blonde Launch stood in her place.
She looked around. She noticed she was on an island. She looked towards Master Roshi. Her eyes lit up with the flames of rage.
"Oh so that's how it is eh?!" growled Launch.
"What?" asked Master Roshi.
"Kidnap the defenseless teenager and take her to an abandoned island. You know what? I'm gonna show ya why ya nevah should've kidnaped the 'defenseless girl!'" She then pulled out the automatic rifle again and opened fire. Master Roshi, like Krillin, danced to the beat of the bullets.
"Don't you remember miss Launch?" asked Milla. The blonde stopped shooting the old coot, turned around and noticed the girl from the restaurant. "When you're hair was blue, you said you'd take a job as a maid for Master Roshi." Launch blinked multiple times.
"That dang sister of mine." grumbled Launch. "The pay better be good!" Master Roshi scooted back.
'Maybe I shoulda just trained them in the first place instead of using them.' thought Master Roshi as he slowly stood up. "Uh... the pay is very nice my dear." Master Roshi then looked around. Four people, a turtle, and a pig wouldn't be able to live on such a small island. "Looks like we'll need to move shop to a bigger island."
After a bit of time, Master Roshi began the search for a new island to call home. It took him a few days of searching, even though he had the plane from Bulma. He once considered moving to an island that was similar to his original one. That motion was shattered, however, when Milla and Launch went off to explore. They landed on a large island after spotting something shine.
Milla took the lead as they enter a forest. There were many interesting animals and plants. Whether Launch was blue or blonde, she enjoyed the sights. Milla stopped to look at a flower. She suddenly saw the shining object.
She walked towards it and picked it up. Upon closer inspection, she noticed that it seemed to be a strange piece of eyewear. It was a device that had an arm with a green glass panel extending in front of it. She pressed a button on the side.
The glass began to jitter with some strange symbols appearing on it randomly. It stopped on a few symbols. She was confused. She stood up to walk away. As a branch of one of the trees moved, the sunlight reflected off something big and hit Milla's eyes.
"Ow!" cried Milla as she rubbed her eyes. Launch came running. She grabbed Milla's shoulders.
"You alright girl?" asked Blonde Launch. Milla shook her head as she opened her eyes.
"I'm alright. The light reflected off of..." She turned her head. She didn't know how to describe the strange metal object. Her and Launch took some careful steps towards it.
It seemed to be a metal sphere with a red glass as the only view of the outside world. It was open, revealing the white cushioned interior. It seemed to only support a single individual. There were a multitude of buttons on the walls. Milla reached out to touch one, but was stopped by Launch as she grabbed her wrist.
"It ain't a good idea to mess with things ya don't understand kid." scolded Launch.
"I know but, it feels so familiar." sighed Milla. She got an idea. "We've gotta get this back to Master Roshi's."
"You crazy?! We can't get this thing off the island! We'd need a huge ship!"
"Maybe we can get Master Roshi to choose this place."
"Ya know he ain't gonna choose this place. It's too big." Milla frowned. She looked up to argue with Launch, but she was confused by the look on Launch's face. "Oh wow!"
Milla turned to see what Launch was talking about. She gawked in awe. A little past the large trees was a waterfall. It poured over into a large, crystal clear lake. Milla looked back at Launch to see the blonde smirk back at her.
"I got a plan." said the blonde. Milla smirked as she leaned closer to her friend. Launch began telling her her idea. After getting back on the Nimbus, they took off for the old island. When they arrived, they found Master Roshi readying to make the move.
"Master Roshi wait!" shouted Milla. She jumped off the cloud, causing Launch to have to quickly hop off before she fell through. "You won't believe what we found."
"Alright I'll humor ya." said the old hermit. "What'd ya find?"
"We found the best Island ever! It's perfect!" Master Roshi pushes up his glasses.
"Sorry kid but I've already found an island to call home. It's just big enough to hold us all."
"But we found one that's even bigger! It has a forest and...and..."
"No but's." Launch rubbed Milla's head. Milla turned from Master Roshi. She looked at Launch with a smile Master Roshi couldn't detect.
"That's fine Milla." said Launch with a devious grin. "I guess we'll just have to fly to the island to use the waterfall. It'll be nice to have it to ourselves." Master Roshi stopped listening at that last sentence. His face reddened.
"Alright. I can live with that." Muten Roshi may be an old hermit, but he was no idiot. He knew he was being played. Plus he knew how to play this game.
Then again...
"Aw fine! I'll check it out!" conceded Master Roshi. Milla smirked. They made their way over to the island. Master Roshi wasn't to fond of the size. He liked a small lone island in the middle of nowhere.
Milla pulled him along into the forest. Suffice to say the nature was nice. The interesting flowers, the beautiful birds, the clearing in the trees with a turtle statue... Wait... He pulled on Milla's hand and walked to the statue.
It was made of limestone, save for the bronze plaque on the side. He walked over to the plaque and read it aloud.
"To commemorate our time spent on this..." started Master Roshi. His eyes widened. "DRAGON TORTOISE!"
"What now?" asked Milla in confusion. The island started to shake a little. A mountain rose in the distance. Master Roshi ran for the mountain with Launch and Milla following suit. When they arrived, Master Roshi was crying while the girls were gawking.
The head of the creature was huge. It had grey scales, a black beak, a huge mossy crest atop its head, green water plants hanging from the bottom jaw, and brown eyes. It turned its head around to look at the visitors on its back. Roshi took two steps towards it.
"When I was younger I began to search for one of these." started the old hermit. "I searched for decades. Checking every island, big or small, just to at least catch a glimpse of this magnificent wonder of nature. Alas, I was never able to find one. It took you a day to find this one when I searched so long to no avail!"
The tortoise leaned its head closer to them. It specifically made its way towards Milla. Milla patted its beak.
"Hi there big guy!" shouted Milla. "I'm Milla! What's your name?" The tortoise opened its mouth. Launch was preparing for the worst.
"GOOOLLLLRRROOONN!" roared the creature in response. Milla laughed as her hair stood in the air from the force of her new friends breath.
"Nice to meet you Gollron! This is my teacher Master Roshi and the blonde girl is Launch." Gollron turned its head to the others. Master Roshi put its hand on the cheek.
"In all my years..." began the old coot. The tortoise raised its head. Milla remembered something.
"Hey Gollron! Can we live on your back?!" Master Roshi gawked at Milla. Asking a dragon tortoise if you could live on its back wasn't really herd of. Just as Master Roshi was about to scold Milla, a loud sound came from the crest on Gollron's head.
Suddenly, the beach they landed on had enough room to hold a small building. Gollron stuck its head back in the water.
"Thank you!" Milla gave a respectful bow. Master Roshi stood there for a moment. They found it in a day, and now they convinced it to let them live on its back. He ran for the plane he used to get here.
He was ready to bring the building all the way across the ocean when Krillin pointed to the sea.
"What the heck's with that island!" shouted the worried monk. "It's coming right for us!" Master Roshi looked to the sea and gawked. Milla and Bluenette Launch were riding Gollron over to the island. The tortoise turned and slowly brought the side it prepared up to the island.
"What the heck Milla!" shouted Oolong.
"This is Gollron!" shouted Milla. "She's a dragon tortoise and our new home!"
"She?" asked Krillin.
"Yes she!" shouted Master Roshi. "Now help me move all this onto her back!" Krillin did his best to help. Once everything was on her back, Gollron began to swim away. Master Roshi quickly built the house.
"I can now go anywhere and have the comforts of home! I also get to see the life of a dragon tortoise! This is the happiest day of my life!" Krillin walked up to the over excited hermit.
"When do we start training?" asked Krillin. Master Roshi looked at his student with a serene smile.
"Let me have this day boy. We'll start Thursday."
"But it's Friday!"
"Exactly!" Master Roshi seemingly danced his way into the house.
'Weirdo.' thought Krillin. He looked around. He noticed something was off. 'Where's that girl? Milla right?'
The girl in question was back at the area with the strange metal sphere. She looked at it. A memory flashed in her head. It was as if she was inside a vehicle like it as it was crashing into the earth. The hatch opened and she began to fall.
She was brought out of the memory by Krillin's voice.
"Milla!" shouted the acorn boy. "Master Roshi says to call it a night!"
"Coming!" shouted Milla. She began to make her way back to the house. She stopped to look back at the sphere. 'I'll be back.' She ran for Kame House.
Told you it'd be worth it. Not only is Milla not the only saiyan on earth, but Master Roshi gets to live on the back of a dragon tortoise. There are two questions that need to be answered.
1: Who is this mysterious saiyan? Is it an OC or is it an OG character. I'll probably have a poll on that later on.
2, and this is probably one of the biggest questions that could be asked for this fic: What's Krillin's last name. It's never mentioned in the show, and the maker of Dragon Ball never told us his last name.
Let me know what you think for both questions in a review. Until next time, catch ya later!
