Having slept like a baby and eating a feast, Tony started his journey as a real fighter. Putting on the battle suit that made him look like a 3 meter giant, Tony took flight at a slow pace.
The armor could operate automatically as it had been programmed for such things and had gone through various testing, but Tony wanted to do it or he wouldn't really improve. Letting the system feed the data into his mind, operational and combat, Tony managed to easily use the suit without making a fool of himself. However, he didn't rush to his target as that would be irresponsible and it would add unnecessary risk.
So, he decided to use it against some monsters before heading to the location. Locking on to a Lightning Hawk, Tony blasted off with his boosters and crashed into the bird at full speed. The bird barely managed to react and released lightning from its body. However, it didn't work as the armor had high resistance to the elements and could absorb lightning.
Without much problem, Tony pierced through the giant bird and left a corpse behind while the blood was cleared off the armor.
"Too easy, need something sturdier." Tony muttered and the system located a sturdy dinosaur, Ankylosaurus.
Tony flew towards the target and picked up the beast weighing 5 tonnes as the armors maximum capacity to lift was 5000 tonnes. That was an absurd number for any person but the strong martial artists could easily replicate that number. And, Tony intended to go even further as he would make the armor capable of lifting everything in the world. The beast tried to struggle but it couldn't do anything as Tony electrocuted it, killing it instantly with the massive charge.
"Tony, I think its best we go to the castle. These monsters aren't strong enough." Terry saw the one-sided slaughter of the beasts and decided to save them from his friend, or Tony would check every feature on the weak creatures.
"You are right, these creatures provide no resistance. Let's see how the Ox King handles it." Tony didn't mind and the trio headed deeper into the territory.
The region was mostly a forest with giant trees and creatures. Everything ranging from the plants to the insects was a threat in this region. Ox King lived outside the forest and near the Fire Mountain, which was an active volcano.
The exact location of the palace was unknown, so Tony would have to search for him. Fortunately, Terry was an expert on life force and could easily locate the target for him by connecting to the Earth.
Flying to the mountain, Tony was able to see his companion's great speed as they kept up with him. He was flying at mach 1 and both combatants kept up easily. It really was a magical thing and he wished his body could produce such results. However, he really didn't like the torturous training required.
"I see someone fighting." Tony informed them as he saw five children fighting against a giant dog near the giant metallic gate that led to the interior territory of the Ox King. There was a wall around the Fire Mountain that was 200 meter tall that signified the mastery of earth of the king.
Checking the data of the children, Tony could identify everyone except the one with a tail. He saw Dr. Brief's daughter, Bulma. He also saw some petty thief from the desert called Yamcha and his friend from the Special academy called Puar. The other one was also from the academy called Oolong.
The child he couldn't identify was either a mutant or another species, and he wasn't registered by the world system. Otherwise, Tony would have been able to find the data except if it was highly confidential.
Bulma was hiding along with Oolong while the other three were trying to fight the Cerberus. It was one of the main monsters under the king and it could be considered a high level threat. It was 50 meters tall, with a muscular build and three heads. It was highly resistant to the elements. It could breathe fire, ice and poison. It was also one of Tony's first targets before reaching the Ox King.
Tony didn't stop to talk with Bulma and locked onto Cerberus. Flying at full speed, Tony helped Yamcha avoid getting iced. The kids were too weak for the threat and only the monkey kid had some resistance. They would have been killed or had been forced to escape if not for him.
Dragging Cerberus into the gate, Tony used his electrocution. It was powerful and stunned the creature for a moment.
"Kids, sit down and let me handle the dog." Tony spoke out while continuing with his assault. He picked up the beast and threw it into the sky before locking on to him and releasing plasma beams from the palms.
Cerberus having high resistance to heat and other elements along with high healing capabilities managed to avoid getting fully pierced by the beam. The creature put up some resistance and the beams only managed to make a 2 meter hole.
"Let's turn up the heat." Tony smiled as he increased the output and easily cut off one of the legs.
Cerberus cried out in pain and rage as it fell to the ground, landing with some difficulty. It unleashed poison into the area and followed it up with fire, causing an immense explosion that rocked the region. It would have done in the kids, but Terry protected them with his golden energy barrier.
Tony flew through the explosion and cut of another leg with the vibroblade.
"This isn't fun." Tony commented as he didn't like doing things without a challenge.
Cerberus roared defiantly and was engulfed in multiple explosions as Tony had planted time bombs on its body. Before he could end its misery, Cerberus disappeared as a magical circle appeared under it.
"You are worthy of becoming my guest. I shall wait for your arrival at my palace." Tony saw the shadow of the muscular Giant Ox King with his dominating presence from the circle and felt a sense of excitement hearing those words.
'I didn't think I enjoyed combat so much. I guess I only avoided it because of pain and weakness.' Tony thought as he landed on the ground while facing the children.
"Waaa, you are so strong. Mr Robot, how do I become strong like you?" The kid named Goku rushed towards with excitement. From his tone it was apparent that kid didn't know about the world.
"You can train under a martial arts master since you seem to be a talented little kid. Terry, how about you take him?" Tony replied as he analyzed Goku and stored his data. The kid had some legendary equipment on his hand, the extendable pole and the flying cloud.
"I am still too young for that, so I will have to decline. Though, I can recommend you to other teachers." Terry shook his head and looked at Goku, and he could feel the Ki inside the body and the strength. There was a sense of immense of hidden power from Goku that excited him.
Goku looked from Tony to Terry, "Thank you for the compliments, but I already have a teacher."
"Who is it?" Terry asked to make sure that the kid wasn't wasting his potential with some weakling.
"He has been accepted by the perverted Roshi. So, how about you teach me?" Bulma started flirting with Terry after seeing him. She was charmed by his looks and couldn't hold back.
Terry was taken aback by her actions and stepped back.
"Bulma, stop acting like a fool. Behaving like a pervert won't attract any decent male, and what are you doing here? This is a dangerous place for a kid." Tony took off his helmet section and conversed with Bulma as he knew her family.
Bulma was surprised to see him and almost started to hit on him as well but, stopped after hearing his tone and seeing the armor.
"I am not a kid and I can take care of myself unlike you. You can't even move without your maid by your side, how cute."
"That's being childish and dumb. Anyone could have kidnapped you or killed you, and you still came without any proper protection." Tony knew the girl for many years and he knew she was a perverted coward. It was a shocker that she even left the city for such a dangerous region.
"She is definitely dumb. She dragged us all the way here because she wants to wish for the ideal boyfriend. Desperate and pitiful, thats what she is." Oolong added to the conversation to diss Bulma as she had been abusing him.
"Look who is talking, Mister- I want to wish for the ideal girl. How pathetic? I am the ideal girl and I ain't giving you any chance, hmph." Bulma ridiculed while showing her arrogance and confidence about her looks.
While the trio was talking, Goku was getting confused.
"What are they talking about?" Goku was extremely pure and naive so he didn't see the duo's perverted desires.
"They are talking about getting more friends." Terry didn't want to poison the mind of the child and just gave him a proper answer.
"Oh, okay. And, are you a boy or a girl?" Goku asked innocently as he almost patted Terry I the private region.
"Stop right there buddy, you can't do that. It is not right. And, how can you not tell? I am manly man, do I look like a girl?" Terry stopped Goku from touching him and asked as he had never heard anyone question his gender.
"You don't have to wonder anything. That kid can't tell anyone's gender without touching them. He has been living in the mountains forever and without anyone." Yamcha answered his query as he had already experienced Goku almost smashing his nuts with the pole.
Getting back to Tony, he asked for the details as he didn't understand what they were saying. Bulma didn't hide the details and told him about the dragon balls.
She had found an ancient book in her library and then come across one dragon Ball at her house. There were seven dragon balls and by collecting them, one could have their wish granted. Using that one dragon Ball, she made radar that could catch the signal from the dragon balls. She started the journey and came across all these characters before arriving at the fire mountain for the dragon Ball.
Bulma considered Tony as a friend and didn't fear him. However, he betrayed her expectations.
"I will be taking the radar and the dragon balls. Your wish is childish and pointless. Just fix your character and you will have a good boyfriend... The same goes for you, I have seen your profile... You there as well, just live in the city and you will get used to it. Or, just data this perverted girl." Tony took the radar and the balls while advising them.
"Hey, that's unfair. I gathered them with so much difficulty."
"Do you want to die? Ox King would squish you and your friends like a bug. And, the other one is located in Emperor Pilaf's palace. Do you really want to get tortured and mutilated?" Tony read the coordinates and checked with his map of the world.
Bulma shuddered at those words and didn't reply.
"This is my grandfather's memento, I won't hand it over." Goku held onto the four star ball.
"Goku, I will give it back once I have used it. I promise."
"What is your wish? You look down on us, so tell us your mighty wish?" Bulma struck back to see if she could get some dirt on him.
Tony looked at her and rolled his eyes, "That is none of your concern. Just know that it is not something selfish. Now get going or stay here, inside the walls isn't safe for kids."
With those words, Tony flew inside while his team followed.
"Master ordered you to stay, please comply." Roberta stopped as she saw that the kids started following them.
"It is our choice and I have items for protection so there is nothing to worry about." Bulma replied with confidence as she didn't stop for Roberta. She was scared of the maid but knew that the woman won't harm her.
"I want to fight." Goku was straightforward with his desire to explore and fight.
"I am not a coward either. Let's go Puar." Yamcha didn't like that he was being downplayed and walked ahead with his partner.
"So handsome!" Bulma couldn't help but comment as Yamcha took flight with Puar becoming his dark wings.
"Um, please send me to a safe zone. It is very scary here." Oolong was the only one that chickened out and asked for help.
Bulma looked at him with a disdainful expression, like she couldn't care if he was dead that very moment.
"You are coming or you know what happens. Diarrhea explosion!" Bulma gave an evil laugh as she went on ahead while riding her flying bike, forcing Oolong to catch up by transforming into a hawk.
Her words scared him shitless. The witch had fed him something that caused him to go for number two and hearing the explosion part, Oolong wasn't ready to die in such a manner.
'One day, she will pay for this abuse.'
Roberta allowed them to follow since Tony allowed it. He saw potential in the kids and decided to watch over them. Goku had especially taken his interest after hearing Terry's assessment.
