What an adventure this will be.

Chapter 11: The Legend of Goku

"Run!" Kisa yelled out as soon as Goku grew through the glass ceiling. The others seemed to be in total panic, and Kisa had to physically start pushing them before any of them would budge. "Move!" She said as a huge chunk of rock nearly crushed them. "We better make a break for it, you guys!" Yamcha said as soon as he regained his composure. "We're going to be rubble if he doesn't change back soon." Oolong yelled out as he started hitting the wall in panic. " Kisa! How did Goku change back last time?" Bulma asked her. Kisa shook her head. "I don't know, he just changed back as soon as the sun came up." Oolong groaned. "We can't wait that long, sister!" He said as he dodged another piece of rubble coming his way, this however revealed a hole in the wall. Yamcha smirked. "That's our way out, let's go!"

"Climb faster!" Yamcha said as Kisa and him pulled Bulma up on a nearby wall. "Some of us aren't used to this kind of terrain!" She yelled out as she slipped and fell. As much as she tried though, she couldn't get back up again. "Bulma, what's wrong?" Kisa asked. "It's my leg, I can't move!" Bulma said, making Oolong cry out in panic. "What do you mean you can't move?!" Oolong panicked and started looking around for a way to carry Bulma, but soon realized he was way too small to do so. "Hey, Don Juan!" He said to Yamcha. "Who me?"

"Mind giving me a hand out here?" At this Yamcha's face started turning red again. Behind them though, Goku roared and started making his way towards the group. Kisa face palmed and sighed. "Fine! I guess it's up to me to be the knight in shining armor, again." With that, she picked up Bulma bridal style and started running after Puar who was flying far ahead of the others. Meanwhile, in the background, Emperor Pilaf and his lackeys woke up from their slumber and started attacking Goku with airplanes and shot guns. Nothing they did seemed to help very much though, instead it only seemed to enrage Goku even further. " What do we do now?" Bulma asked the others, not expecting an answer. Kisa jumped up onto the nearby wall they were hiding behind, and overlooked all the damage Goku had caused. She was scared, scared of the possibility of someone else getting hurt by Goku's ape form. She never told him what happened to their grandfather, and as long as Goku didn't look up at the full moon again, she didn't think she needed to. "There must be something we can do?!" Yamcha yelled out, as soon as he said that though, Emperor Pilaf fired a huge missile from his plane, hitting Goku in the face. After the smoke cleared, they could see Goku lying on his back on top of the castle. "No! Goku!" Kisa said as she started running towards him, but before she could make it very far, Yamcha and the others tackled her. "Are you insane? You'll be killed for sure!" Oolong said as he tried to restrain one of Kisa's legs. "Let me go!" She protested, kicking him in the head. This however, caused Bulma to slap her in the face, making Kisa look straight at her. "We can't help Goku now!" Kisa frowned, and stopped fighting them. "If he's dead, not even the Dragon Balls can fix what I'll do to you." Before anyone could utter a word in response though, they heard a loud roar coming out from Goku. "He's alive!" Puar said, making Kisa sigh in relief. Goku, who seemed even angrier than before, picked up one of the castle's towers and threw it at Emperor Pilaf's airplane. As soon as the tower hit its target, the airplane started spiraling downwards into the desert sands. The tower however, fell on top of the wall Kisa and the others were hiding behind. "Run!" Kisa said, as soon as Goku spotted them. "This is insane!" Oolong cried out. "What do we do now? Goku doesn't seem to be anywhere near finished yet." Yamcha added. "We better hide till morning." Puar suggested, as they turned to run away into the desert. Kisa cleared her throat. "Hey, guys. Aren't your forgetting someone?" She said, as she tried holding up part of the tower. Underneath it lay Bulma. "Oh, no!" Yamcha said as he ran over to help. Unfortunately not even their combined strength could lift the tower up. And even worse, Goku was still heading their way. "Here he comes!" Oolong yelled out. "Pull!" Kisa said, making everyone try one last time. Thankfully, the tower lifter enough for Bulma to crawl out from under it. "Thanks you guys, let's move!" She said as she got off of the floor, but before any of them could move a foot, Goku reached down and lifted Kisa from the ground. Kisa tried her hardest to fight her way out of his grasp but Goku was just too strong. "Goku.. Please!" She pleaded. "It's me, Kisa! Please, please try to remember!" Goku cocked his head to the side and remained silent. "Please.."

"Wait, I got it!" Yamcha suddenly yelled out. "His tail! That's his weak point!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Move!" Bulma said. "Right! It's time for my trusty swort to come back into action!" Yamcha said as he started running towards Goku. As soon as he reached Goku's back side, Yamcha pulled out his blade and swung it at Goku's tail. Surprisingly, it shattered upon impact. "Oh, no!" Yamcha yelled out as he held onto Goku's tail. Goku started swinging his arms about aimlessly, trying to destroy everything in his path. "Hold on, we're coming!" Bulma and the others said as they ran towards Goku's tail and jumped on. Thankfully this rooted Goku in place, making it impossible for him to move. "I can't believe that actually worked." Oolong said in disbelief. "We're not done yet!" Bulma commented. "Quick Puar, now's your chance!" Yamcha said. "Turn into a pair of scissors and snip off his tail!" Puar nodded. "Leave it to me!" At that she turned into a giant pair of silver scissors and cut Goku's tail right off, making the others fall to the ground with it. Goku let out at roar of pain and dropped Kisa into the sand. After just a few seconds, Goku started turning back into the boy they all knew. Kisa groaned as she got up from the floor, and slowly made her way over to Goku. As soon as she reached him, the transformation was complete and Goku was back to normal. She placed her ear on his chest and tried to find a heartbeat. "He's alive." She said, making everyone sigh out in relief. Yamcha made his way over to them and handed Kisa his green coat. "To cover him up." He said, making Kisa nod in thanks. As soon as the others joined them, Kisa spoke up. "Whatever you may think of us, please promise me one thing. Don't tell Goku about all of this when he wakes up." Bulma looked at her compassionately. "Of course. We won't tell him. I'm afraid his little heart would break if he ever found out he trampled his grandpa to death." The others nodded in agreement.

"Who turned on the lights?" Goku asked as the rising sun woke him from his slumber. Kisa stroked his hair and smiled at him. "Good morning, kid." Shesaid. "Hi! What did I miss?" Goku asked her groggily. "Feeling light hearted this morning, are we?" Oolong asked him. Goku smiled in response. "Yeah! But I'm not sure why I'm naked, though. What happened to my clothes?"

"You don't remember anything, do you?" Yamcha asked him. Bulma smirked as she got up from the floor. "How about sharing some of your clothes with Goku, Oolong?" Oolong frowned. "Well, all right then. He can borrow my pants." He said as he pulled down his green shorts. "Check him out!" Oolong said as Goku put his pants on. "That's a good look on you, if I say so myself." Goku laughed. "Your legs are a lot shorther than mine though." He said, making Oolong growl at him. "What's with the wisecrack?! You can give them back if you don't like em!" Goku put his hands behind his head and smiled. "No, they're fine. Thanks!" He said as he tried to stand up, only to fall backwards immediately. "Oh, wow! I can't seem to stand up!" He exclaimed. "That's not very surprising." Yamcha said. "You probably need to spend some time learning how to balance yourself without your tail." At that Goku's eyes opened wide, and he tried looking behind him for his tail. "Oh, no! My tail! Its missing! Where could it have gone?" Goku sighed. "I guess I should wait for it to come back, huh?" This made everyone around him face palm. Kisa laughed. "You are one strange little kid, Goku." Oolong said. Kisa stood up and picked up Goku's Power Pole from the floor. "Here you go, Goku. Perhaps this will help?" Goku smiled at her. "Thanks, Kisa!"

"So what are we going to do now?" Oolong asked them. "We can't look for the Dragon Balls for a whole year. I guess we'll just go our separate way for now, huh?" He added. "Yeah. We could do that." Bulma started. " But I'd rather spend a little more time with you guys. How about we all make our way over to the city? You can stay at my place if you want." Bulma said cheerfully. Kisa and Goku looked at each other and smiled. "That sounds good, Bulma. But I think we'd rather head over to Master Roshi's and train like our grandpa did. I wanna get super strong!" Goku said happily. "Sorry, Bulma. I'm with Goku on this one." Kisa added. "But you're already the strongest kids I know." Bulma stated. "Yeah, but when I hit that wall, it didn't even move!" Goku looked out behind him and sighed. "If someone else can come along and tear the whole thing down, I really need to go and train!" Everyone looked at each other and sighed. "I guess there's no changing your mind. I'll miss you guys, though!" Bulma said. "What about you, Oolong? Yamcha?"

"Sure, I'll come along." Yamcha said, Puar nodding in agreement. "I don't know you guys. A city pig?"

"You'll be the talk of the town!" Bulma told him. "Especially with that underwear on your head." Oolong frowned. "You're just jealous because I got these from the dragon!" At that everyone started laughing. "Fine, I guess I'll go with you."

"Oh I know!" Goku started. "A year from now, let's all go look for the Dragon Balls again."

"I don't know Goku, I don't think I'm quite ready to go on another adventure like this!" Bulma said. "But I'll tell you what, kid. Why don't you take my Dragon Radar as a going away present? That way you can remember all the good times that we had together."

"Thank you, Bulma!" Goku said as he took the Dragon Radar from her. Kisa smiled. "I guess leaving home wasn't so bad after all." With that, she called out for the flying nimbus. Bulma reached into her pocket and took out one of her capsule helicopters. "Hop in, you guys!" She said as she opened one of the doors. "I guess this is goodbye." Yamcha said as he made his way over to Kisa and Goku. "Train hard, Goku!" He said as he held out his hand to him. "I want you to be just as strong as Master Roshi, okay?" Goku smiled as he shook his hand. "Okay!" He said happily. After saying goodbye to Goku, Yamcha turned to face Kisa. "Are you sure you don't want to come to the city with us?" He asked her with a sad look on his face. Kisa smiled. "Don't worry, I'm sure we'll meet again soon." Yamcha nodded. "I'll hold you to that!"

"You know, I'll never forget you guys." Bulma said quietly as she held back a tear. Goku smiled as he and Kisa both jumped up onto the flying nimbus. "All right, Kisa. Time to go to Master Roshi's!" He said happily. "Let's go nimbus!" He said as the cloud flew up into the air. "Bye you guys!" Kisa said as she waved at the others down on the ground. As they started making their way towards Master Roshi's, Goku started laughing as he looked at Kisa. "I never thought life could be such a neat adventure!" Kisa smiled. "Go, Nimbus!" She said as the cloud sped up once more. She looked at the horizon before them and sighed. Kisa wondered what the future would bring them, but one thing was for sure. She didn't regret leaving home at all anymore.
