Every time I read the comments, I can't help but put on a really stupid grin. Thanks, as always, for giving this story a read, you guys! Updates: My Hero Academia stuff is gonna become a lot more prevalent soon, if you guys were curious. Also, chapter ten is practically done, so expect an update tomorrow. Quick, right?! You can bet your bacon this story will continue after the summoning of Shenron. Hold on to your butts... cause the League of Villains (although they've kinda made an appearance already), Red Ribbon Army, and the Yakuza are coming!
That being said... so will a certain UA class...
Last thing, so I don't keep babbling on, feel free to favorite and follow, too! I'm getting a lot of traction from Brazil, which is sick!
Think we can get this story to 45 follows...? Maybe I'm asking to much, hah! Enough foolishness, enjoy the chapter!
Gyū-Maō, the "Ox King," has seen Goku's Kin-To'un… and revealed that the stinky old weirdo who gave it to him is really his "Muten-Rōshi," his master of long ago… Kame-Sen'nin, A.K.A. the Turtle Master!
The great Ox King was truly overjoyed, reminding Bulma almost of a little kid running, high on sweets, around the local candy shop. He waddled up close to the flying Goku, who was simply relaxing on top of the Flying Nimbus, while shaking with anticipation.
"Hey, are you goan tell me where my invincible old master lives or am I goan kill ya?!"
"That "Muten…" whatever, you mean the turtle guy, right?" Goku tilted his head, then turned to look down at Rias and Akeno. "We kinda know, don't we?"
Rias, a crimson-haired princess from another world, nodded. "Yeah, the old perv from the beach. It would be safe to assume that is who he's referring to."
The gigantic man began to jump up and down, crying with joy. Each movement and teeth-chattering stomp with his massive tree trunks, for legs, shook the whole of the land. "WOO-HOO! Yeah! I'll be able to get back in my castle!" He shouted with a booming voice.
"Huh?" Suddenly, he abruptly stopped the celebration; immediately, his eyes were glued to Goku's back. "Th-That staff you got… is that the 'Nyoi-Bö'… the legendary Power Pole Staff?!"
"Wow," nodded Goku, "you're good! My Grampa gave me this!"
"Y-Your…?!" The massively sized Ox King was so shocked, he nearly fell over. "Was your grandfather's name Son Gohan?!"
Goku quickly jumped up, his tail wagged back and forth with excitement. "Yup!"
"HOO-HOO-HOO! Don't that beat all! Son Gohan's Grandson!" The Ox King bellowed with joyous laughter.
Goku sporadically shook his arms with gleeful bliss. "You knew my Grampa?!"
"Knew him?! Sonny boy, m'lord master's number two student was me… and his number one student was your grandpa!"
"For real?!" Yelled Goku, stupefied yet amazed.
"Man," chuckled the Ox King, "that brings back memories!"
"N-Now I'm starting to see why that kid's so strong…" Mumbled Oolong.
Rias turned to Akeno. "That old guy, from the beach, was actually someone important?"
Akeno shook her head. "The longer I hang out with you guys… the weirder things get…"
"Enough o' this!" The Ox King forcefully stopped himself from rambling on. "Memories can wait! I got a favor to ask you!"
Goku nodded. "Shoot!"
The Ox King grinned, then stated his request: "Accordin' to sources that shall go unnamed, I might be able to put out that big mountain-fire with a device called a 'Bashō-sen', that my ol' Lord owns. C'djou make a quick fly-by on the Flying Nimbus to borry the thing an' bring it back here?" He clapped his hands together in prayer, making the request that more sincere.
"Sure!" Goku happily accepted. "Will you give us the Dragon Ball for it?"
The Ox King looked confused. "Dragon Ball? What's that?"
"It looks a lot like this." Goku reached into his dark gi and revealed a golden orb that was tied around his neck with a brown string, hidden normally from view. "Don't you have one in your castle?"
"Ohh… yeah, yeah, now that you mention it, I think I've seen one of those…" The Ox King quickly agreed to Goku's terms. "Sure, sure, no sweat! For what I want, that's nothin'!"
"""Yay!""" Rias, Akeno, and Sona locked hands and jumped up and down in joy, something appropriate for girls their age.
"Good going, Goku!" Sairaorg shot his friend a thumbs up.
"Banzai!" Cheered Bulma.
"Awesome! Then I'll get going!" Goku nodded, getting ready to fly off on his cloud.
"Whoa! Wait a sec!" The Ox King, suddenly, insisted. "Not that I thought it'd do any good, but yesterday I already sent my daughter, Chi-Chi, out lookin' for the Old Master. If you run into her on the road, how 'bout takin' her along?"
Goku sat back down onto the cloud. "Chi-Chi?" He repeated the name aloud.
The Ox King grinned. "She's a hot-head, but she's a cutie! Hotcha! I could give her to ya as your wife!"
The instant the Ox King offered Goku his daughter's hand in marriage, a jolt of emotional lighting surged through all the three of the girls below. A collective blush flushed over the expressions of Rias, Akeno, and Sona, alike.
"Woah!" Reeled back Sairaorg. "I sense such incredible power from those three!"
"M-Marriage…" Rias poked her fingers together, while repeating the stated phrase of 'marriage' in an soft, adorable voice.
"Marrying my darling… Goku…" Akeno squeezed her facial cheeks together; her heart wouldn't stop beating at a fast rhythm.
"H-He's weird… but he'd make a great addition to my family… and he's kinda cute…" Sona rambled on, thinking way too far ahead into the future.
Goku, oblivious to the passionate comments coming from the supernatural girls, tilted his head out of genuine confusion. "What's a wife?"
Quickly, out of his oversized pocket, the Ox King showed off a photograph of his daughter to the floating monkey boy. "Take a look at this, Sonny! Ain't she a darlin'!"
The boy carefully eyed over the picture. "So I should bring that kid along with me… right." He turned back to look at the group. "Guys, I'll be back!"
ZOOOM! Like a rocket, Goku flew off into the distance, determined to find the old master.
Rias shook her head to snap out of her lovey-dovey trance; she smiled as she watched the boy disappear into the sky. "Come back soon…"
Gazing over the land, Goku continued flying on the magical Flying Nimbus, until…
"Huh?" The boy immediately noticed a small lone traveler, then descended back down, towards the earth. Cupping his hands at the sides of his mouth, Goku yelled: "AHOY!"
The traveler spun around, surprised. She was a young girl, and a cute one at that. She had long, straight black hair; large black eyes; and a lighter skin color, but nothing like Rias's, Akeno's or Sona's otherworldly appearances. She also had an odd, blue bikini; pink gloves and boots; a green cape and a pink helmet. "Huh?!"
"Is your name Chi-Chi?!" Goku loudly asked as he flew to her side, coming to a stop right besides her.
"Y-You know my name?" She stuttered, then thought for a moment. "I get it! You must be in love with me!"
Goku was far too innocent to process this girl's out of left field claim, so he ignored it. "Hey, you're the Ox King's kid, right?" He pointed at her.
"Huh?!" She jumped. "You know my dad?!"
"Yup. He said I should pick you up and help you go borrow somethin' from somebody."
"No! Really?!" She exclaimed, truly shocked.
Goku turned around his cloud, then motioned her to jump on. "C'mon, get on my Nimbus an' I'll take you."
The girl beamed with both curiosity and wonder. "Y-You can ride that… that ball of cotton candy?"
Goku shrugged. "I have no idea what that is, but you can only get on if your heart's clean an' pure."
Chi-Chi nodded, a great big smile rested on her cute face. "Then I'm on! My heart's as clean as an indoor toilet!" Right after, she quickly began to pull herself up, "Oompha…", but slipped and accidentally grabbed onto Goku's tail for support! SKWEE!
"…!" Goku's eyes lit with panic, his body suddenly tensed up… hard as a rock!
"…Okay I'm on." Chi-Chi reassured as she finally climbed comfortably, practically using Goku as a ladder during the whole process, onto the Flying Nimbus. "Huh?"
The boy fell, face-first, off the cloud and onto the ground.
"Wh-What Hap-pened?" She nervously asked.
"Oww…" Goku finally stood up, then rubbed at his head. "Don't squeeze my tail, will ya…? It makes me lose my strength…"
"W-Well what're you doin' with a tail, anyway?!" Chi-Chi frowned, then yelled.
Goku jumped back on, confused as to why she was suddenly mad. "What? I can't help having what I have, can I?" Girls sure are weird… boy oh boy…
As the two kids disappeared back over the mountains, both flying on the magical cloud, another pair glanced over the rocks that they'd been presently hiding behind… listening in on the conversation…
Yamcha grinned, amazed at his sudden luck. "Heh, what a lucky bit of listening…! We take a simple pitstop, expecting to get back on the road right after… only to overhear the kid's weak spot. It's his tail! Boy are we blessed!"
Puar nodded, vigorously. "Victory is surely ours, Lord Yamcha!"
"Those brats are probably close to collecting all seven Dragon Balls." He sat up behind the rock, positioning his arms behind his back. "Once they're done with that, I'll take them with my Wolf Fang Fist."
"Lord Yamcha…" The furry creature scratched his ears. "You should probably be more careful, next time… seeing as it took all our medicine to fix you up after those kids kicked your butt."
"GAH!" Loudly complained Yamcha. "I really hate those kids!"
These two bandits have been closely following Goku and his friends from a safe distance! Darn that Oolong, pay attention next time, you piggy!
"Whoa!" Screamed Chi-Chi as she desperately held onto Goku for dear life.
Goku turned around. "Hang on tight!"
DWOOOOM! The Flying Nimbus cruised on through the bright, cloudless sky, faster than any plane. As the two continued their travels, Goku slowly got curious…
Rather nonchalantly, as usual, Goku lightly tapped at the lower half of Chi-Chi's underwear.
PAT PAT
"…!" Tears swelled up in the girl's innocent eyes.
Goku laughed. "You don't have a boy's wee-wee, do you? You must be a girl!"
"EEEEEE!" Chi-Chi shrieked like death looming. "Get your hand off me!" Suddenly, to his complete shock, the girl purposely shoved Goku off of his Flying Nimbus.
"Waah!" Goku screamed as he fell from the cloud and crashed straight into the ground below. GOMP!
Unbeknownst to the naive Chi-Chi, however, without a pilot, the Flying Nimbus couldn't be controlled properly. Not stopping, the cloud continued to fly ahead… suddenly, crashing into a pillar of natural sandstone with a loud DOOF!
"GUH!" Chi-Chi cried as she smashed, face-first, into the rocky, sandy wall…
Only a few minutes later…
"Oww…" Goku quietly whimpered; his head was really aching from aftermath of the impact, following his steep drop from the Flying Nimbus. Chi-Chi, meanwhile, kept to herself and said nothing else. Their resumed trip on the cloud was now a tad bit awkward.
Slowly, Goku tried speaking. "So… what did I do to deserve that—"
"You did plenty!" Chi-Chi pulled a face, silencing the confused monkey boy. Yet, regardless of his actions, the girl squirmed, even blushing with a light pink.
Eventually, the Flying Nimbus cleared over the land; and several yards out splashed the waves of an endless sea, separated by a surrounding beach. Goku's eyes sparkled with excitement and awe as the cloud flew over the crystal clear waters. He twisted around to face Chi-Chi. "All I know is this Master Roshi is in the ocean… but the ocean's big! We've got to ask someone."
Chi-Chi, despite her earlier outburst, gleamed brightly. "Whatever you say, Dear… Tee Hee…"
Goku couldn't help but feel puzzled. Why were girls always calling him the weirdest of names? Couldn't they just call him 'Goku', instead of Dear or Darling…?
"Huh? What's with the 'dear'?" He frowned.
Suddenly, a dolphin jumped out from the water, shooting Goku a happy grin. Unsure of where to continue their search, Goku hit the breaks on the Flying Nimbus. "Hey, water-guy! You know where Old Kame-Sen'nin lives?" He asked the friendly, passing dolphin.
"Oh, sure, sure! He lives on a tiny island way, way that way!" The dolphin pointed North with his grey fin. "Does that help, buddy?"
"Definitely, thanks!" Goku nodded. The yellow cloud took off again, North this time around.
"We don't have those in the mountains…" Muttered Chi-Chi. Truthfully, Goku had never seen a dolphin before in his life, either.
As they continued to fly in the air, Goku pointed ahead. "Hey, look! There's a house!"
Indeed, there was. Sitting atop a small, comfortable island, a collection of vibrant palm trees resting at the sides, rested a single house. The fairly distinctive structure seemed entirely built from wood and was painted pink, with a bright red roof. The words KAME HOUSE were displayed prominently on the front of the upper story, something for all to see.
Goku laughed as he lowered down towards the house. "Anybody ho-o-o-me?"
"Eh?" A short, bald old man, with a thick white fu manchu mustache and beard, turned to face his visitors. The usual sunglasses hid his eyes; and he wore a regular black t-shirt with white shorts, and a purple turtle shell on his back. Instead of the usual walking stick, he was cleaning with a regular broom.
"Remember me?!" Yelled Goku, who was more than enthusiastic to see the old master, again.
"My, my, my!" Master Roshi chuckled, turning over his full attention to the young Goku. "Well, as I live and breathe… how's the Flying Nimbus holding up, my boy?"
Goku quickly jumped down onto the beach, still smiling. "Been okay, old timer?!"
Master Roshi heartily laughed. "Never better, boyo!"
"This… is the invincible old master…" Chi-Chi wondered.
Goku pointed back at the Flying Nimbus. "This thing you gave me is awesome!"
"Of course it is! I got it straight from Kami-sama himself!" He laughed, then playfully made a shushing noise with his mouth. "Folks are losing their wits, all over, cause they think that he's kicked the bucket… but let's just say he's taking a more laissez faire approach at the job, heh!"
"Hey…! Didja hear that?! Flying Nimbus is like from another world…!" Goku jumped with pure fascination and excitement. Chi-Chi finally came down from the cloud, taking his side.
"Huh?" Master Roshi glossed over the girl, quickly. "Who's your new friend?"
"Huh…? Oh, this is Gyū-Maō's kid!" Goku motioned to Chi-Chi.
"What? This is his daughter?!" Master Roshi couldn't believe his eyes. "Can it be?!"
"Yer name's Chi-Chi, right?" Goku asked, double-checking.
"Chi-Chi, hmm…?" Master Roshi turned around to think over something that had sprung to mind. Remember, this was the mind of a world class warrior… and pervert… "Would've been better is she actually had a nice pair of bazongas… cause if a girl is named Chi-Chi… and then she actually has chi-chi's… that makes two chi-chi's… no, three…"
Quietly, while Master Roshi muttered away, Chi-Chi leaned in rather close and whispered to Goku: "You're not telling me that the old creep, here, is really the Muten-Rōshi!"
Standing next to him, even she was taller. "I'm not…?"
Chi-Chi shook her head from left-to-right, unapproving. Gently, she grabbed ahold of the massive blade built into her helmet. "I'm gonna put him to the test. My Dad's real master oughtta be able to dodge this…"
"HYAH!" The fin-shaped blade shot off her head like a kind of supersonic boomerang, twirling through the air like an unstoppable buzzsaw.
SSSHHHHHHHH! The blade zoomed right for the old man's head!
PING! Something clicked, Master Roshi turned around in a blink of an eye! "HAI-YAAH!"
"…!"
"Ah… Ah… Ah…" Master Roshi shuttered and mumbled… Chi-Chi's blade stuck out from his forehead, buried substantially deep into the Old Master's cranial… "…AHAHA… HA… Ha…"
"Uh-oh…" Even Goku, no matter how dense, knew well enough that they'd mightily screwed up.
"EEEE-YAAA!" Master Roshi shrieked, cradling his bald head as his own blood profusely dripped all over the place.
His trusty turtle, whom Goku had met before, waddled over to his master, panicked. "Sir, are you all right, sir?!"
Chi-Chi stomped her feet, upset. "See, Goku, I told you! He's not the invincible old master!"
Faster than light, Master Roshi ran over to the young girl, enraged. "Not even an invincible old master is that quick, idiot!"
"So prove you're the invincible old master!" She shouted back, equally peeved.
Master Roshi shoved a hand in his pocket, then pulled out a small card to show. "Look at my driver's license! What does that say?!"
The girl took a good look, then screamed. "EEEEK!" It was exactly as he said. "I just did something terrible! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!" Not wasting any time, Chi-Chi grabbed at the blade lodged deep in the Old Master's head and gave a good pull.
JERK! The blade came out with a nasty pop. "UNKH!" Master Roshi grunted from the intense pain. Quickly, he used a bandage, provided by the turtle, to place over his head.
Chi-Chi rubbed her face, embarrassed. "Sometimes I'm a little hasty…"
Master Roshi leaned in to whisper to Goku. "Oooh, I hates her…" With time, however, he soon got over the little incident and stood before the two kids, ready to hear them out. "Anyways… Goku, what brought you here, anyway?"
"Huh? Oh! Right! I forgot!" He nodded. "D'you have… um… the 'Bashō-sen'! That's the word!"
"What?! The Bashō-sen?! That magic fan that can raise a typhoon with a single wave, a thunderstorm with two, and a monsoon with three?! That Bashō-sen?!"
"Yeah, that one!" Shouted Chi-Chi. "We need it to put out Fry-Pan mountain's fire!"
"…" Master Roshi took a moment to respond. "Fooey. I spilled some wonton soup on it… and it was so stained that I threw it away!"
"What?!" Shouted Goku, shocked.
"Not one of his better moments…" Sighed the turtle.
"WAAAH!" Chi-Chi began to ball tears. "Now we'll never go home!"
Master Roshi grinned, however, and his sunglasses sparkled with determination. "Never fear! Since the fault is mine… I will personally travel to Fry-Pan Mountain and put out the inferno!"
"Wow! Old Timer… can you really do that…?!" Goku was pleasantly surprised.
"Of course I can! There's nothing the Muten-Rōshi can't do!"
Goku and Chi-Chi glanced at each other and nodded. ""OK!""
"Let's roll!" Master Roshi returned outside, wearing a master's orange gi. The rocky walking stick was now back in his hands, too.
Goku looked over the old man's change in wardrobe, confused. "You changed for this?"
"HEH HEH HEH… figured it was about time to look professional…" He chuckled, then fixed his dark glasses to look more suave…
"B-B-But… I thought you couldn't ride the Flying Nimbus! What are we gonna do?"
"HA HA HA." He laughed at Goku's relevant inquiry. "I am the Turtle Master, am I not?!" He pointed the stick upwards, then loudly commanded: "Baby Gamera! To me!"
Suddenly, from the sky, descended a sizable spinning shell. The creature landed besides the old hermit, then popped out from its shell. "At your service my… my Lord." The green creature nodded, its two bottom tusks protruded from just below the jawline.
"Yow!" Exclaimed Goku.
Master Roshi gently climbed atop the Gamera's back. "Can you fly me to Fry-Pan mountain?" He looked down and asked it.
The creature looked back up and nodded, confidently. "Ohhh, yeah!"
Master Roshi glanced over at his turtle. "Turtle. Keep an eye on the land!"
His companion groaned, but knew there was no use arguing at this stage of the game. "I'd prefer to keep an eye on you, sir… just don't do anything irrational…"
Master Roshi, then, looked at Goku and Chi-Chi. "Now! Let's go!"
"We'll meet you there!" Goku yelled as the Flying Nimbus took off. Instantly, they left the old man in the dust.
"Goku, do you really think he can do it…?" Asked Chi-Chi.
The young boy nodded, brimming with confidence. "Hey, he was my grampa's teacher! He's gotta be great!"
Finally, back at Fry-Pan Mountain…
Sairaorg pointed at the sky. "Goku's back, guys!"
"Goku, hey!" Rias shouted, excitedly.
"You came back, Goku! Welcome back!" Akeno nearly cried with joy.
"You were quick, good job!" Even Sona got in on the action.
"Good stuff, kid!" Shouted Bulma.
Oolong tensed up. "He really brought back the girl?!"
As the Flying Nimbus flew close to the ground, Goku and Chi-Chi jumped off to reunite with the rest of the group.
"Yo!" Goku laughed, before getting hugged by the three supernatural girls, all at once.
"W-W-W-What…" Poor Chi-Chi was taken aback from the scene.
Rias, noticing the new girl, gave Chi-Chi a devious smile. "Get in line, toots!"
After saying his hellos, Goku turned around, to the Ox King, to explain the situation…
…
"Whaddya mean there ain't no more Bashō-sen?" The Ox King shouted.
Goku grinned. "But see, Master Roshi says he's coming to do it himself!" Soon after, he pointed up towards the sky for all to see. "Look, there he is, there he is!"
Everyone turned towards the pointed direction. Sure enough, spinning up in the sky, the prominent master made his descent down to the crowd. DOMP! The Gamera landed.
The Ox King found that he was speechless, but then he hollered for joy. "Hot dang! My invincible old master! Long time no see!"
Sona pulled on Goku's hand. "Who's this guy?"
"Oh, him?" He motioned over to the standing Master Roshi. "He's the legendary—"
Standing to the side, Master Roshi gags and chokes, and he spits up the entirety of his previous lunch. The Gamera's spinning was just a little bit too much for him, obviously. "Oooh, I hate flying…"
"…" Everyone was speechless… until Akeno finally broke the ice.
"All our hopes are on this guy…?"
How's Master Roshi going to put out the fire? By hurling on it!? Stay tuned for… "Gotta Heed The Call Of Magic Dragon Balls!" …next time: the Kamehameha!
