Monkey See, Monkey Do

by Dimension Distorter

We all know the story. Goku gets sent to Earth to destroy it but a head injury makes him forget his mission, making him become it's savior. But what would happen if Goku lost more than his memory? What if he lost his savage Saiyan instincts? Instincts relating to a certain...beastly transformation?

3. Miscellaneous Quests

Yo, yo. I'm back with the hotness that's known as Chapter 3. As always I'm glad to see that I am giving you all some much needed updates and Dragon Ball loving. Mainly the fact that Goku had never got what he deserved…and that was Great Ape awesomeness. Well I'm bringing it back guys. I too anticipate the day where Great Ape Goku and Great Ape Vegeta go in on some battle of the titans-type stuff. It'll be so amazing. But that'll come when it comes. For now, we focus on the incredible saga of Dragon Ball. Now I got a plethora of reviews and questions for last chapter. I'm honestly surprised actually. Shows me just how popular this story is going to be in the future. And just so you all know right now, since "Battle of Gods" is canon I'm still going to take this story all the way up to there.

Oh, and apparently Whis has gone to calling 'Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan' something else. 'Super Saiyan Blue'. Look, I understand that it's MUCH easier to say than the original name but why not 'True Super Saiyan God'? I mean if the INITIAL form is lost once it runs out and going Super Saiyan while tapping into Zenith Ki will make you the new blue form then shouldn't that be the true form of Super Saiyan God? I mean the whole red thing is like the 'Kaioken' version of Super Saiyan God, you know? Matter of fact; since the whole 'initial' stage is a one-time thing than why not just leave it at Super Saiyan God? I don't get it.

(Sigh) Anyway, enough about that. I touched up half of Episode 3 last chapter and you guys understand how I need to finish that and of course squeeze in some of the other episodes into this chapter as well. As long as certain parts aren't relevant to anything then they're skippable. Of course other parts will take drastic changes thanks to Goku's awesomeness this time around. Now I wish that I COULD just skip to Pilaf's castle since most things in the episodes leading to that are the same HOWEVER there are a few changes here and there in this chapter regarding said episodes that you don't want to miss. I know it's boring and all but bare with me on this. Now…I got a BUNCH of questions and comments the 1st two chapters. How's about we get to 'em, right?

Q&A Time!

Saiyan mystic, heh. I know exactly how badass my Goku is going to be! Sorry, but you don't know how epic he's going to be. Not in the slightest. The only one who knows exactly of his eventual awesomeness is me. You won't be disappointed. Oh, and Goku/Bulma? Umm….no? I actually like Trunks for one. Two, Bulma is too old for Goku and she won't be attracted to his current height either. He's still kinda dense for her and certain events in DBZ won't even happen if she and Vegeta aren't together.

The Blazing Saiyaman, you bet Goku's more proficient in fighting. A bit stronger than his canon self and it'll be noticeable in some areas. And I didn't think of anything with Gohan teaching him to use Ki normally. But with him spitting energy beams as a Great Ape I guess it'd make sense but nothing advanced. Goku isn't one for precision Ki use yet and his energy storage is obviously much smaller than when he's transformed. But being able to project it like what he did to Chi-Chi in the tournament or even maybe a small blast or two is believable. And no. No Bulma again.

Almighty Imaginative Craziness, Goku is a simple kid. Even though he thinks that it's weird that he has a tail and can transform into a giant ape, it's not like he's the kind of person obsessed with his origins. He has his grandfather, friends, fighting, traveling and food. That's all he cares about. Besides, Gohan will eventually tell him of where he found him later down the road so that's covered. But he is wiser though, if a bit. And he'll listen to other's a bit more.

saiyan ninja, you know, you have a username but you review similar as a Guest. How come you don't have an actual profile? Anyway, thanks for the assist. You know, you've become one of my favorite reviewers with all of the positive feedback that you've been giving me, all this time. I hope that I'll be able to please your reading eyes and others like you. At least YOU understand I said I'm in college.

Guest Reviews.

Oh. Mirai Trunks in the house? Yeah, you BET the events throughout the Xenoverse created this universe! Though unlike the shit with Towa, Mira and Demigra, this one is going to yield interesting and at most times super beneficial results in the future. And you expect Bulma to not be startled? Dude….she's BULMA! She's startled at EVERYTHING outside her realm of normal!

Goku will FOREVER keep his tail. That bitch isn't going to get lopped off, not even once. There's no need for it. I mean with all the fucking times they had that shit come back you'd think that they would've let him keep the damn thing into adulthood. And sorry, but Goku is friends with every beast back home. He's helped (Or intimidated) them all in some ways. Jiraque included, so no whacking him with the Power Pole.

Okay, that's all done. Now all of you other guys about the whole 'update thing' shut the hell up. Once again…I'm in college! Two, I do not update fast and I don't like always seeing that! If none of you guys have any constructive reviews, not even saying how GOOD the story is or how to make it BETTER, then don't write any of that. I WILL update! So asking me to do it again is redundant as all kinds of fuck! I mean I've JUST updated the shit out of my NarutoXDigimonXDBZ story, "Worlds Apart".

Please go read it if you haven't.

I'm also writing other things on the side (Aside from papers) so chill the hell out, you guys. Damn. Instead of asking for updates ask actual questions. Oh, and stop the whole 'who to pair Goku with' thing. Chi-Chi guys. Damn. I know none of you like her but I don't care. I mean I understand. She can be one hell of a bitch but the pairing HAS to stay the same. We need Trunks! We need Gohan! We need Goten! We need Gotenks! We need Vegeta going off on Beerus for hitting Bulma! Seriously though, I already have plans for Trunks and I need him in this. Especially his Great Ape form.

Yes, I know that since this is fanfiction they don't NEED to stay the same and I can probably still get the kids but I am not trying to learn how to pair Goku and Bulma or Vegeta and Chi-Chi. I don't care. For one, I don't even like GokuxBulma all that much. I want to keep the canon couples. DO NOT review about me keeping the couples the same because this story isn't about romance, it's about massive apes. I don't care what your reasons will be one how they can get together, it ain't happening.

Miscellaneous Quests

After the old man made his appearance on Turtle's back Bulma responded immediately after. "Hi, how's it goin'? Welcome ashore." She looked over his attire for a bit, impressed that he had a sense of style. "What a cool outfit." She complimented.

"Kids," he said, "I want to thank you for helping my turtle."

"It was our pleasure, mister." Goku responded. The man hopped off of Turtle's back and onto the sand.

"I'm Roshi, the "Turtle Hermit"." He introduced. Bulma seemed confused by the title while Goku tilted his head and crossed his arms in thought.

"Uh…a turtle hermit?" Bulma repeated. Goku gave an 'hmm' before he looked over the old man some more.

"Did you say that your name was Roshi?" Goku asked him. Roshi nodded his head once in confirmation.

"Yes, I did, young man."

Goku tilted his head back into place and asked, "And…are you a martial arts master?"

The question surprised the three of them, wondering here he made such an assumption from. Bulma placed her fists on her hips and gave her companion a curious stare. "Goku, you can't be serious? I mean he's just an old man. There's no way that he can do the things that you can." Even with her reasoning Goku didn't pay it any attention and insisted.

"Well aren't you?" He pressed.

Slightly impressed that the boy knew of him he stepped forward and nodded once more. "That too is correct. I guess my title would be 'Master Roshi' as well. The strongest fighter on the planet. Though nowadays I don't do much fighting anymore as you can see. Though I have to admit, I'm surprised that a child as young as yourself has even heard of me. Must have been a big inspiration to whoever raised you, boy."

Goku smiled with a big nod. "My grandpa raised me. He said that he trained under someone named Roshi and taught him everything he knows. It's nice to actually meet you in person."

Roshi gave a questioning 'hum' as he stroked his beard a few times. "Oh? I've taught your grandfather? As far I know I've only had two students in my lifetime. One of them was a man that's known today as the Ox King and the other was-"

"My grandpa! Son Gohan! Like I said!" Goku pipped up with a bigger smile. Roshi gave a bit of a surprised gasp before removing his glasses. Getting a better look at the boy, he could see the brown monkey tail that was lightly wavering behind him. He blinked a bit more before giving a light laugh. "Well, I'll be? You are his grandson. He always sent me letters talking about how he found and raised a young baby in the woods with a strange tail. Incredible that I've actually managed to luck out and meet you so early on."

"Yup!" Goku said with a nod.

Bulma blinked before she lightly placed her fists on her hips. "Hold on, here. You mean not only are you a famous martial artists but you taught old-man Gohan? And Goku, you're adopted? No clue of who your parents are?"

"Not really. But I don't mind that I don't have any. I'm just lucky that I have grandpa. And now I've found Master Roshi too! I wish that I could tell grandpa."

"Don't worry, Goku. We've been talking a lot more as of late. Mainly because Gohan felt that you were enough to give us 12 years of catching up to do. And I'm guessing that you were the ones who helped Turtle," he said putting his glasses back on and looking to Turtle, "right?"

Turtle pointed a flipper to Goku. "Actually, he's the only one who helped me."

Bulma instantly got an attitude. "Hey! What about the water I gave you!?"

"Yeah, and thanks for that. But then you were gonna leave me all alone in the wilderness. And you were going to let that giant bear bandit eat me just to save yourself. I don't think that's very kind, do you?" Turtle countered. Roshi then turned to her with a blank stare making her blush in embarrassment. She crossed her arms and turned her head.

"I just didn't want any distractions on our adventure. Plus, what kind of normal person wouldn't want to save their own life if they have the chance? Is that so wrong? We can't always stop to help everyone who comes our way."

Goku grinned to her. "You should try it sometime. It's fun." Bulma just sighed, knowing that when it came to arguing with Goku she wasn't going to win. Who would've thought that being so oblivious could make someone never see reason? It was honestly an irritating prospect, especially for a genius like her who always thought to take the logical path to things which would make stuff easier.

Roshi walked up to Goku. "Well then Goku, you're a very brave boy. I have a gift I'd like to give you."

"Here that Goku?" Bulma said, wondering exactly what this gift possibly was.

Roshi turned and walked over to the water and gave a pose. His cane was in one hand as he gestured it to the sky, stretching his body a bit. He exclaimed "Come Magic Carpet!" which made Bulma gasp in elated surprise at such an unbelievable artifact. Goku couldn't help but ask her what said carpet was to which she explained that it was magic, as in the name, and it could fly anyone anywhere. She then closed her explanation by saying they weren't real, however. Roshi meanwhile seemed to be getting a little irked that one of his prized possessions wasn't flying when he was beckoning, so Turtle brought it to the master's attention that it was left at the cleaners. Roshi agreed, realizing his mistake, further making Bulma believe that it was just some sort of hoax. He then contemplated what else he could possibly give the grandson of his second student when the thought of his Flying Nimbus crossed his mind. He snapped his fingers, thinking that he could do without it easily if Goku could ride it so taking his previous stance he this exclaimed "Come to me, Flying Nimbus!" Goku and Bulma were beginning to question the man's sanity because of his weird actions at trying to summon first a flying carpet and now what he said was a flying cloud. They were quickly proven wrong however when they saw a yellow splotch soar through the air and heading right in their direction. Flying around them, they turned as the Nimbus descended until it stopped on a dime right in front of all of them.

Goku and Bulma were looking at the yellow puffy cloud with wonder with Roshi reassuring them that it was perfectly safe. Though he reprimanded and insulted Goku for the monkey tailed boy asking if he could eat some of it. When Bulma asked of the Nimbus' capabilities Roshi described that those who are capable of staying on top of the cloud can have it fly them anywhere they wished. Bulma, being the skeptical girl she is, rounded on him saying that he couldn't be giving away something this valuable if there wasn't anything wrong with it. Roshi defended himself of course saying that the cloud was perfectly okay. Goku, being the hyperactive boy that he is, was tired of all of this talking about the Nimbus and wanted to know that if he could just hop on and try it himself. Roshi allowed him but gave him the warning that the Nimbus will only allow the pure hearted to ride it. Trying to prove his point even more he attempted to demonstrate by hoping onto it. The key word here being 'attempted', as he fell right on through and crashed onto the tough sand. Falling to the shell on his back and holding his smarting rear, Bulma couldn't help but laugh at the old man's misfortune while Turtle went to help his master into a sitting position. Though not without saying that he definitely had done something naughty somewhere down the line but Roshi quieted him, not wanting to hear it.

Testing his luck, Goku took a leap up to the cloud…and didn't fall. Roshi and Turtle looked at him in shock as he managed to stay on so easily. Goku couldn't help but do a little jig in place while he congratulated himself for managing to stay onto the Nimbus, leaving Roshi to accept that he had just lost it to the boy. Goku stopped dancing and looked down at the cloud with a big smile, wondering aloud how he was supposed to make it go. The cloud seemed to have puffed up a few times, made an indescribable noise before it took off in a burst of speed. Goku was immediately yelling in elation as the Nimbus soared through the air, keeping the same speed it had as it took off. Goku had already got proper balance on it as he began to execute a multitude of aerial maneuvers with ease. Barrel rolls, spirals, short to long zigzags, even surface across the water's surface. He momentarily stooped by his friends to thank Roshi for the incredible gift with said man complimenting him on his skill at handling it like a pro. Goku just laughed before he took off, wanting to enjoy flying around more.

Bulma couldn't help but feel jealous at seeing Goku have so much fun with something as unbelievable as the Nimbus. She couldn't help but partially wonder if that whole Magic Carpet thing was real after all. Either way, she didn't like feeling jealous and felt as if she deserved something as well.

"Hey, yo, what about me," she smiled a pointed to herself as Roshi turned to her, "aren't you going to give me a gift too?"

Roshi raised an eyebrow at her. "And why would I do something like that?" Bulma's smile dropped at Roshi's statement. "From what turtle said earlier, you were willing to let him get eaten' just to save your own pretty hide. Very selfish if you ask me."

Turtle nodded and gave an 'Mm-hmm', while Bulma looked appalled. She then got angry instantly and yelled, "That isn't fair! You didn't even see the size of that bear! He was as big as a two story house! Not to mention he had a freaking sword! Not to sound like I'm heartless or anything but if all he wanted was the turtle than what reason was there for me to get myself killed!?"

Roshi looked to her for a while before looking away. "Nope, not a valid excuse. I've fought plenty of things that were just as big if not, bigger. Not to mention, you knew Goku is a martial artist, didn't you? So you didn't think that his skills would be enough to protect you?"

Bulma's face was on the verge of turning read. "Look ya' old coot, when you grow up in the big city, you're only use to normal martial artists," she stressed the word 'normal' a good margin, "meaning guys that can't take down massive armored crooks in a single punch!" She didn't care what this man thought but if anything she was going to make him see logic from her point of view. Unlike Goku, Roshi couldn't possibly have been someone clueless. Senile? More than likely, but not clueless. Roshi gave a 'hmm' as he mulled over her words. He could understand where she was coming from…sadly. The world really has become a bit soft compared to the days of his youth. Days where very powerful individuals who were capable of doing impossible feats to the modern people of now were in wide abundance. Roshi was still one, then there's Goku, Gohan, that crone, Crane and who knows who else. But the more experienced and older generation kept to themselves over the decades. Not like they've been trying to do much to get back into the limelight, even if they have been taking on students.

"Okay, okay. I can see your point. But that doesn't excuse the fact that you were willing to put turtle in danger. So…if you want something from me…then I want something in return." He said, his voice holding in a bit of mirth.

Bulma blinked a bit in confusion. What exactly did she have that this man could've wanted? "Um, something in return? Well…like what?"

Roshi tried to hide back a perverted grin, but he couldn't stop himself from sweating a bit. "Well…for instance. If you were, uh…to let me see your… underwear." Roshi then couldn't hold in his perverted giggle as Bulma and Turtle both blushed red at the very absurd request.

Bulma's hands rose to her face. "Y-you…want to see m-my…"

Turtle flippers were on his cheeks. "Master! What are you doing!?"

The weather suddenly turned slightly ominous as a large wave rose and crashed behind Roshi. Wind came in and blew sea water into the air. "YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!?" Bulma screeched.

Turtle rose his flippers up and glare at Roshi for his antics. "Have you forgotten the code, Master!? Please, that's wrong! Dead wrong!"

Roshi glared back and grit his teeth. "Oh, hush up, will ya'!? Can't a master take a little break from training and have a little fun!?"

Turtle kept glaring but rested his head in his right flipper, slightly turning away. "Now I understand why you couldn't ride your cloud."

"Bite your tongue!" Roshi yelled at him. Turtle couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Bulma began to lightly shake as she grabbed the end of her sleeping gown. Her fists grabbed the fabric very hard as he blush coated more of her face. She couldn't believe what she was going to do…and for this perverted old man no less! She had half a mind to kick out the rest of his teeth….but….the Dragon Ball. She needed that Dragon Ball! As long as this paid off in the long run…as long as she got her wish then…then she…she could swallow her dignity and do something even as degrading as this! She wouldn't allow her journey to be stopped at the beginning! And what's showing off her underwear to a pervert compared to sleeping on a mountain with a 50 story monster stomping around all night?

"T-this is so embarrassing….I can't believe I'm…doing this…." She mumbled to herself. And just as she was about to throw caution to the wind and flash herself, Goku (Her saving grace) flew down at just that moment with a confused expression on his face. Bulma released a big relived sigh that she didn't know that she was holding as her grip lessened on her sleepwear.

Roshi glared a little at the boy behind his glasses for interrupting what would've been some very choice material. Real life material, no less! A man can only go so far with watching female-only workout exercise clips and dirty magazines. "What is it now, kid? Can't you see that we're in the middle of some very delicate negotiations here?"

Goku looked to Roshi and tilted his head. "Um, I just couldn't help but overhear what you were asking Bulma to do. And I'm not very sure looking at her panties is a good thing." Roshi gaped in disbelief about the kid siding with Turtle, who was nodding his head. Bulma was inwardly cheering her friend on to say anything that could help for her to save her dignity.

"Wha-and what would you know kid!?" Roshi yelled to him.

"It's something grandpa told me. About men who ask to do things like that to younger girls. He said it was…in...inappropriate? Yeah! That's the word! And being inappropriate is the same as being rude…so you're kinda being a rude guy right now, Mr. Roshi. I guess that's what grandpa was warning me about if I ever met you." Goku…Goku of all people, chastised.

Turtle closed his eyes and nodded at the boys words, while Roshi had taken a step back. "Are you kidding me!? Of course! Leave it to Gohan of all people to ruin my fun, even when he isn't here! Now he sends his brat of a grandson to do his dirty work for him! And he is so stingy! How is it that kid was able to catch the ladies attention but not me!? I'm Master Roshi for crying out loud!"

Turtle opened an eye to him. "Maybe it's because unlike you, Gohan is a true gentleman. He respects women in the right ways but you, master? Apparently…you're just some horn dog. Sometimes I'm embarrassed that I even know you."

Roshi nearly sunk to the ground as depression lines formed over his head. "But….but I'm an old man, Turtle. I've got to live life to the fullest while I can. So why can't someone like me have a little fun?"

"Because your definition of 'fun' is creepy." Turtle replied bluntly, making Roshi even more depressed.

Bulma wouldn't have believed it if she didn't see it for herself but here it was! The dense, monkey kid actually did have some brains behind the brawn and ridiculous hunger! Next time she saw Gohan she was going to give that man the biggest of 'thank you's' she could muster for teaching his grandson right. Hey, maybe she could take it a step further and have it so that she can increase the size of that hut of his. Nothing too extravagant since he's such a simple man but enough to where proper guests can at least have a rest stop. Some extra rooms never hurt anyone. With a family as rich as hers, she could practically do anything she wanted. Suddenly Bulma has an idea that would allow her to play on Goku's words.

She smirked and pointed a finger to Roshi. "Hey, yeah! That is considered sexual harassment, you know? Master martial artists or not, you're still nowhere above the law buddy. Unlucky for you, I'm the daughter of a pretty wealthy family in West City, and even most other parts around the world. If I wanted, I can have police helicopters and speedboats here like that." She snapped her fingers just to emphasize her point of how much influence she held. Seeing Roshi fall to his but in fear of being sought after (and NOT in a good way) made her smirk grow larger. Maybe she was pretty defenseless in the realm of fighting but it was never bad to throw her own power of money around if she believed that it would help whatever situation required it. Now with him on the ropes she brought it home. "Buuuut…I'm willing to let this incident slide of course…if you allow me to take any possession you have as my gift for free."

Roshi gave a big sigh as he found himself cornered. There was no way that he was going to be able to get out of this one, was he? Better to just comply now and save him the headache later. "Okay…fine…let me just think of something that you could possibly like."

While Roshi was contemplating on possible ideas for a teenage 'evil' girl Bulma gasped as she noticed the Dragon Ball that was hanging around the man's neck! She moved to his sitting form quickly. "Never mind, never mind, I know what I want!"

Roshi stood up and asked, "Eh? You do? What?"

Bulma pointed to the ball as if the answer was obvious. "That! I want that! That thing right there that's hanging around your neck!"

Roshi pointed to it himself. "What? This?" He took it off and held it up to show her better. "You sure you want this old thing? I found it washed up on my island a long time ago."

Goku, still on his Nimbus, drifted closer to see what said thing was and couldn't help but gasp. "Whoa! Bulma is that what I think it is!?"

Bulma gave a big smile as she took it from Roshi's hand. "Oh, you bet it is! The Three-Star Ball! I can't believe it!"

Goku brought it into his hands and lightly rubbed the smooth orb. He gave a big grin. "This makes four Dragon Balls! Neat!"

Roshi rose and eyebrow at their fascination for the trinket, even going as far as to name it. "A Dragon what-do-ya-call-it?" The two just ignored him and continued to admire the orange sphere.

"So aren't you glad we decided to help the turtle now? It paid off!" Goku asked. Bulma couldn't help but have her own smile broaden.

"I sure am. You were so right! And now just three more then wish time!"

"Yeah!" Goku agreed.

Roshi began to sweat a little bit as he continued to hear their conversation. He may not have understood it but the main point here is, that thing seemed to grant wishes…and he just gave it away without a second thought! What was his problem with giving strangers his most valuable items!? "What!? That thing grants wishes!?"

"What a great day!" Goku said as he gave the Dragon Ball back to Bulma. She held it between her hands and cheek, smiling at Roshi.

"Thank you! We really love our gifts! You're a kind hearted and generous man! Thanks so much!" She exclaimed.

Roshi began to sweat, thinking that he can try and play off of this. It's not like he did say she could have that, right!? If anything, HE wanted to make his own wish with that ball! And what better wish than to always have such very willing ladies around him, whenever he goes? To always be found as the most attractive man to the opposite sex was his lifetime dream! And while he's at it, he could wish to be back in his hip mid 20's again to keep up the ladies appeal for a lot longer. Maybe the reason why he hasn't been having much luck with women in a while was because he was an old man. He is well over 200 years old after all. "I never said you could have the ball!"

Bulma smirked and lightly turned her head. "You didn't have to say I could have it. But I'm taking it anyway. Remember, anything I want for free. Well I want this…or did you forget about what I could do to you if I let the word out back home? Especially to my dad. He may be the most laid back guy in the world but he doesn't see much appeal in his poor daughter being taken advantage of."

Roshi groaned as he hit his head on his cane. That…that EVIL little…why was he being manipulated like this!? Had she no sympathy!? "Okay…fine. You can take the stupid thing. Never did anything for me anyway."

Bulma then gave a cheer and she jumped in place, waving her arms around. Goku was giving a big smile at seeing his friend finally be happy for a change instead of complaining like she usually seemed to do. But he was also happy that they got another Dragon Ball and so quickly too. It had only been a while since they left his mountain but it was really beginning to pay off. Seeing that their business was concluded Bulma decided that they should get a move on and look for the next one as quickly as they could. With a spring in her step she moved over to her motorcycle while Goku followed along on the Nimbus. Roshi and Turtle moved towards the water as they began to leave as well. They said their goodbye's to Roshi before headed back to their Capsule House. They pulled up to the front of their temporary place of residence to get things ready to get back on the road. Or at least that's what Bulma was going to do, since she needed to change clothes. When Goku was beginning to relax after Bulma went inside, it wasn't a few seconds later until he heard her screaming. Hopping off of his Nimbus he went of check on her and found her holding her underwear. The ones that he remembered he had taken off this morning out of his extreme curiosity of wondering about what a woman's private parts were like. Some part of him…couldn't help but feel nervous about remembering that.

Bulma fiddled around her lower body to see if these were indeed the same panties that she had on or just a pair that she had forgotten to put away. She blushed deeply and yelled that she wasn't wearing her underwear at all. Bulma gulped as she realized that she really dodge a bullet…no, that's too small. A canon ball on the beach for if she had given Roshi what she had wanted then…then she would've shown…she tried her best to calm down. Goku came to her rescue and swung Roshi's deal into her favor. She was grateful to him for that…but how in the WORLD did her underwear…

"Uh….don't be upset again Bulma. That's where I put 'em." Goku said, scratching the back of his head.

She blinked and looked down to him. "What are you talking about?" She asked in a small voice, her blush very evident on her face.

"After I…took them off this morning?" Goku said, but this time more unsure if he should keep talking.

Bulma then rounded on him with a glare. "Are you saying you took my underwear off this morning!?"

"Y-yeah." Goku leaned back a bit.

Bulma stretched the elastic and jerked them forward. "These underwear!?"

Goku blinked a few times as his eyes shifted to the ground. He couldn't really understand why Bulma was so upset but if there was anything that he most definitely remembered about Gohan, it was to never ever do or say anything that involved in their private parts. Just like what Roshi was asking for. But after feeling just how…flat and empty Bulma's lower parts were he just couldn't help but take a look himself. Once again, he was scared out of his mind that nothing at all was there! Well…if one thing, he learned first-hand why women were so adamant about going to the bathroom in privacy. Who in the world would've thought they had to probably sit down and do it.

"That…that was inappropriate…wasn't it?" Goku said a little dejectedly, rubbing his arm in nervousness.

"Yes, Goku! VERY inappropriate! SUPER inappropriate! You know that doing something like that to a girl while she's sleeping can get a guy arrested and thrown in jail! They'd be labeled as creeps or sexual deviants or…or something along those lines! I thought you said your grandpa told you about how to treat girls!" She yelled at him, her fists on her hips. And yes, her right one was still holding onto her panties. She was honestly having mixed feelings for the boy at the moment. She was still thankful that he saved her the embarrassment of flashing herself to and dingy-old pervert and that turtle but even if she did have too, if Goku had minded where his hands went, then she at least would've only shown her underwear. What the hell possessed him to do something like that in the first place?

"Sorry, Bulma. But I was just curious. Grandpa told me that girls don't have what boys have down there and…well, when I tried to sleep in your lap like I do with him, I just remembered what he told me when I felt nothing there." He explained, sounding like he was genuinely confused about the differences in genitalia. Bulma realized Goku honest-to-God was but realized that what he did was most certainly, as he himself said, inappropriate. And as he also said, that was a very rude thing. She was just glad that he didn't try to do anything else to her in her sleep. A shiver ran up her spine at the mere thought.

With a big sigh, she grumbled lowly to herself and rolled her eyes. "Okay, okay. Since you did save my dignity earlier I guess I can let this little incident slide," she pointed a stiff finger to Goku, giving a hard gaze, "but this better NOT happen again! To me or any other girl! Not unless said girl says it's alright and you're old enough for such contact! I mean, how old are you anyway?"

"I'm 12." He said simply.

Bulma blinked in slight confusion. He was seriously a pre-teen? It was hard to tell with how short he was. She would've thought of him to at least be…I don't know, 9? 10 years-old at the most. Yet his grandfather hasn't given him 'the talk' yet? Well next time she saw that man, she was going to have to let him know that he needed to properly educate Goku more in the realm of the opposite sex.

"Seriously? That old? I never would've guessed. Grandpa should've already told you about this kind of stuff, kid. Next time we see him we're going to have to let him know that you need a bit more knowledge on girls, okay?" Bulma had been put away her finger and softened up her look.

Goku gave a smile seeing that she wasn't mad anymore and nodded. "Okay."

Bulma waved her left hand in a shooing fashion. "Alright, now back outside with you. I need to get properly dressed, so just wait for me."

With another nod, Goku headed outside while Bulma had went to do whatever business she had to do inside. When she was done getting dressed she came out once again. She told Goku to stand back before she turned the Capsule House back into its Dino-Cap. Of course it once again surprised the hell out of Goku, to which he asked her to not scare him like that again. Bulma couldn't help but still find it slightly humorous at him still grasping technology. Putting the cap in its case, she figured that since the Nimbus was their fastest mode of travel then they should take that from now on. Goku reminded her that she had to be pure of heart to get on, which she was immediately offended by saying she was probably the purest person he'd know. She tried to prove it by hopping on…of course she fell right on through. Honestly, Goku just felt that it wouldn't work for Bulma. Not that was mean…but she did have pretty violent tendencies at times. After screaming out her frustration to the world at her failure, she got back onto her much slower motorcycle. Goku felt the need to point that out to her but she wasn't one for show-offs like him which was her reply, just as they made their journey to their fifth Dragon Ball.

It had been a good couple of hours with them on the road to wherever their next destination would lead them. Bulma had swapped out her motorcycle for another version, but with an arched top that was protected by maxi glass. The reason for the change in automobile was because this new one was about 3 times faster than her previous one. And since Goku couldn't help but continue to cheer in elation about how he was the new 'king of the sky' on that annoying Nimbus, WHILE going much faster than her, she didn't want to be left in the dust by the kid. Said kid was on said cloud and was just sig-sagging his way through the many different mountains that they were passing by. To Bulma, it seemed he was more interested in having fun than paying attention to what was in front of him, which he needed to do since he technically had to follow Bulma. She was the one with the radar after all. She looked up to yell at him to do so, however that meant she took her own eyes off the road. A hill caught her by surprise and she was sent flying right down to the bottom, flying out of her bike and landing hard on the ground. Goku flew down to check on her, hopping off of his Nimbus.

While Bulma complained about her being in pain, Goku noticed the Three-Star Ball at his feet and it was flashing. He picked it up to show her the phenomenon and it immediately changed her mood. This meant the next ball was very close by. Without much looking, Goku found a village off in the distance which seemed to be their next destination. Once they got there Bulma checked the radar to be absolutely certain that the Dragon Ball was there, which it showed that the ball was. Besides that, they noticed that this village was very quiet, almost like it was a ghost town, which Bulma deduced it to. But Goku was certain that people were in the area, claiming he could feel their presences. They looked around for a minute more before Goku said that he saw someone peeking at them from the window of one of the houses. He hopped off his Nimbus as they walked up to a door that read 'SHERMAN PRIEST'. Goku tried the polite approach by knocking on the door for a bit and calling out for anyone inside but no one came to answer. So he went with the next best thing: punching the lock off and opening the door that way. He strolled in a little bit until he heard movement to the side. Just as he turned his head to check, a wood-cutters axe came down right on top of his head, scaring the mess out of Bulma. Thankfully, Goku's head was harder than wood and the axe broke upon contact. It did leave a sizeable bump though.

Bulma still screamed in panic while Goku rubbed his head, stomping in place at the pain. They both saw that the attacker was a short, mainly bald man who looked shocked that his attack didn't do anything. The remains of the weapon fell from his hand. "Oh, no! It's just as I feared! Oh, I should've known!" Unknown to him and the others a little girl peaked out from behind some crates in the back.

Goku grit his teeth as he glared at the man. "What'd you do that for!?" Drawing his Power Pole and slightly extending it into a more lethal length, he pointed it at the man who jerked back. "That didn't tickle you know!?"

The man shivered before he clapped his hands and bowed his head in forgiveness. "Oh please, forgive me mister Oolong! I knew it was foolish of me to try and attack you but I'd rather die than lose my daughter! Oh, please don't take her, I'll do anything!"

Goku and Bulma got more and more confused as the man rambled on. Obviously, this was a case of mistaken identity. Goku dropped his stance and looked to the man curiously. "Hey, I think you got me mixed up with someone. My name's Goku."

The man looked confused himself before that girl from before spoke up. "It's not him dad."

The girl then walked out from where she hid to go get a platter of water and a cloth to help Goku's injury. Just as she was doing that all of the people in the village were coming from their homes to see their new visitors, who weren't who they thought they were. The girl dipped the cloth in the water before ringing most of it out. She then walked over to Goku, who sat on the ground so she could reach. "Here we go, this will help." She laid the rag over the large swollen bump.

Goku winced. "Careful. Ow!"

"What a thick head." Said the girl as her father gave an embarrassed laugh at such a lucky break. Bulma glared. "He could've been killed! Shame on you!" She turned her head in a huff while the man, Sherman Priest, felt slightly guilty.

"I thought he was Oolong. I was only trying to protect my daughter." He said.

Bulma gave him, and apparently everyone else who was crowded there, a questioning look. "So what does this Oolong fellow do that makes everyone so afraid of him?" Apparently that struck a chord of some sort since the girl ran into her father's arms and started to whimper fearfully. He held onto her tightly as he turned back to Bulma and Goku. Sherman then began to explain how much of a horrible monster this Oolong was who treated them as nothing else but their playthings. He spoke of how Oolong has the powers of Transformation as his disposal, which he uses to torment the villagers with horrific nightmarish forms. If that wasn't enough, he had kidnapped three young girls from the village already. It was yesterday when he came back and demanded for Sherman's daughter, Pochawatha, for her hand in marriage. Goku suggested that they do something about Oolong when he comes back to the village but Sherman quickly gave a rebuttal, saying that such an idea was foolish. Oolong was too big and too strong and there was no way a young boy like Goku could stop him. After asking why the two were in their village (Aru Village) in first place, Bulma opens her books bag to pull out the Two-Star Ball and asks him if he's seen something like that.

Sherman examined it closely but he replied with a negative. However an old woman with a cane walked in and said she had the matching ball. Once again, Bulma was put in a good mood and asked for permission to see it, which the woman did and brought out the Six-Star Ball. But when Goku asked if they could have it the woman refused, stating that she couldn't because it was a family heirloom. So to broker a deal, Bulma asked if they could have it if she and Goku took care of their problem with Oolong and the missing girls. This made everyone break out speaking in a series of hushed voices and whispers among each other at the declaration. No doubt, everybody was incredibly skeptical at the claim but Bulma assured them that she and Goku were one heck of a team, though Goku would be doing most of the work since he was very strong for a small guy. Bulma introduced herself and said she was the brain to Goku's brawn. With how sure Bulma sounded the villagers couldn't help but have hoped the two of them could liberate their problem. A villager even spoke out that their village had a legend of a young boy would save them in their time of need but so far they dismissed it as folklore.

As others expressed their gratitude Bulma came up with an idea of catching Oolong.

This involved a little dress-up.

The unwilling participant was Goku, much to his displeasure.

Bulma had put him in a pair of Pochawatha's clothes and wanted him to pose as her to get information from Oolong on the whereabouts of the missing girls, however he got it. Once he had done that then he could deal with Oolong however he wanted. Just then they felt the house beginning to shake and the ground rumbled. Sherman let Goku and Bulma know that it was Oolong, to which Bulma nodded and told one of the other villagers to have everyone else in their houses. She led Goku outside to initiate the plan but he had to hide his face, as she chose to stay indoors and peek through the hole in the door that Goku made. The thuds got closer and closer until a large ogre was leering down at Goku. This ogre was twice the size of all the houses in the village, with a large bulk, red skin and two large horns on top of his head. Though since he deemed this a "formal" occasion, he was wearing a white tuxedo with a bouquet of flowers in his hands.

Oolong then tried to seduce "Pochawatha" by trying to sound nice and gift "her" with the flowers. Goku did his best to compliment them, though his acting was a bit shaky. Same for when Oolong talked about how his "Pochawatha" had put on a bit more weight, which Goku retaliated with how Oolong had no room to talk about such things. Bulma didn't think that was a smart move with how Oolong thought that "Pochawatha" was playing 'hard-to-get- but he seemed to like it. Then Goku began to feel the call of nature at this very unfortunate time, which made him shake in place. Oolong noticed and misinterpreted it as "Pochawatha" being scared of his visage, so he decided to change that by using his powers to turn into a handsome looking man with a very charming voice.

Apparently, that kicked rationality from Bulma's mind because she had immediately threw open the front door and stared at the new form of Oolong with hearts in her eyes. Goku fell over at how ridiculous his friend was at falling for such a trick that she personally saw for herself while Oolong was contemplating on going for Bulma (Who was both a looker and had a really nice chest) or "Pochawatha". Young lady or not, she was innocent and he promised to himself that he would be nothing but supporting to her once he took her away. But then he went back to Bulma….and that chest! That long blue hair and those shapely curves! Ugh, how could he NOT choose that!? But how would that make him look, to go for a random more mature woman when he had his sights set on….huh? He looked around to realize that "Pochawatha" had gone missing. That is until he heard the sound of liquid trickling behind him.

It was Pochawatha…reliving herself standing up?

Oolong knew that was off by a mile making him go to investigate. And when he drew near…his "Pochawatha" had something she shouldn't have had in the slightest. Oolong felt his world shatter at the sight as he screamed about how he was deceived. When Goku finished up his business and looked to him he asked what gave him away, before deciding that it was probably his tail. Oolong's hair stood on end as his eyes turned red and he grew fangs in a large fit of anger. He then burst into a cloud of yellow and pink smoke before he revealed himself to be a giant black bull with purple hair between his large horns. Bulma realized that she had been tricked before she went back into Sherman's house, to which the man scolded her about easily falling for Oolong's tricks. Though he was at least grateful that the monster wouldn't want to marry Pochawatha anymore and was interested more in Bulma. Pochawatha thought she'd make a great bride but Bulma screamed her disagreement and marrying a bull.

She then turned back to the hole in the door and yelled to Goku to forget the plan and just take Oolong down. The ever grateful monkey-tailed boy threw off those uncomfortable clothes, brought out his Power Pole and readied himself for a fight, with a smirk on his face. If he had to be honest with himself, he was actually pretty eager about fighting someone else who had the power to change their form and at a whim too! He couldn't do that, needing the full moon to become a Great Ape but when he did transform his power felt enormous! Who knew what kind of power fighting someone who could freely transform had!? He had to refrain from bouncing on his feet at the prospect. Oh yeah, and Bulma reminded him to find out where the girls were and stay alive.

While Goku began to stretch for an eminent fight, Oolong, in his new….Mexican accent and terminology….began to go into a series of taunts about how stupid Goku was being at challenging him. A large scary bull versus a small boy. He tried to play on the fear he believed he was inducing on the kid and suggested he traded Bulma for Oolong sparring his life. Goku refused and still got ready to battle with a determined look, making Oolong sweat a bit at the defiance. He kept trying to speak logic into him saying that Goku had no chance of winning compared to someone like him and stomped the ground to be even more intimidating but Goku wasn't budging in the slightest. Oolong began sweating more as the kid didn't seem to be even the least bit frightened of him but his eyes wandered to the clock to check something. He gasped when he looked at the time and before Goku knew it, the large bull began to rush away from him to the village exit on the other side. Goku gave chase, not allowing him to get away easily, yet when Oolong rushed out the village and made a left turn there was a massive burst of yellow and pink smoke.

Goku made it to the village exist and looked left and right for a bull or anything else that was moving away quickly, since he saw the smoke. He heard whistling to his left and looked to see a pig, wearing a Moa suit, leaning against the brick wall. Goku had asked him if he had seen a large bull run past which the pig pointed to a random direction, sending Goku charging said direction. What the young boy didn't know was that, that pig was Oolong. The real form of Oolong to be exact. While his powers of transformation were impressive he could only hold any form for 5 minutes. When the time was up he would forcefully revert, so he ran before Goku or anyone else could see. Once Goku returned to alert the village that Oolong had 'vanished', the pig decided that he needed to out-do himself to scare off Goku since he would be a problem. In a massive burst of pink and yellow smoke Oolong was some sort of mechanical giant that was holding a pair of chopsticks in one hand and hot soup in the other. Of course since he appeared in the middle of the village everyone screamed and ran back into their houses while Goku remained outside. Oolong tried to threaten that he would cook Goku in the soup and eat him with it to, once again, fail at frightening him. He got more agitated at this and even went and burned his hand on the soup, making him drop it and cry in pain at being burned.

Goku felt that Oolong wasn't as strong as he tried to make himself out to be and that since he learned karate, he could tell just by looking at him. Oolong then challenged Goku to break three bricks he picked up with one a hand since he apparently knew martial arts. He didn't account on Goku suing a single finger, which was unheard of. At that moment all bets were off and he knew that he had no chance against this kid no matter what form he took. So he went for the next best thing. Escaping. He shifted his form into that of a large red bat and took off high into the air away from the village. Bulma shouted at Goku to go after him to find out where the girls went since he was just standing there, watching Oolong retreat. Goku called for his Nimbus, which he used to shoot after the bat. Goku quickly caught up to Oolong and grinned at seeing his baffled look at how the kid was following him in the air. So he opted for something even faster. Another burst of magical smoke and he shot off through the air in the form of a high-speed rocket, but Goku Nimbus was still managing to match his speed. No matter how fast, how high or how many turns Oolong made, Goku caught up easily and he wasn't going to stop until he was caught.

It seemed as if this little game of cat and mouse would go on for a while, or it would've if Oolong's time limit didn't expire. Hundreds of miles in the air, he reverted back to his natural piggy state and began falling, screaming his head off all the way down. Goku of course was the one to catch him before he had become paste on the ground. He then took Oolong back to the village, where he was tied up and shown off to the village. Most of them couldn't believe that this whole time, it was a little pig whose been scaring them all of this time. When asked where the girls were he replied that they were where he lived. Bulma then demanded that he lead them to said girls and that he was finished causing havoc for these people. Goku couldn't help but point out to her that she was WAY braver now that Oolong was tied up and probably also because he was much smaller than her. Bulma couldn't really say anything in her defense of course since she knew it to be true…but she wouldn't acknowledge it. So they forced Oolong to take them to wherever it was that he stayed. Goku noticed Oolong's eyes shifting over to him and the others, which Goku said that if he turned into a bug he'd squash him. Oolong groaned and faced forward again.

Bulma joked on where his little shack was until they came up to the steps of a very large palace. Everyone couldn't help but be impressed at the sight of it. Oolong told them that he was swindled a ton of people to get enough money to get something like this as his place of residence. The pride wasn't lost in his voice but no one cared. Three of the villagers ran up the stairs to head inside since their girls were the ones who were kidnapped. They expected to see anything possibly worrying or dangerous happening to their girls but…nothing about them lounging around in good clothes, eating delicious-looking food or doing aerobics. The girls noticed their parents and/or caretakers but didn't really seem all that relieved to see them either. But they began to issue favors to Oolong for him to get them things once they saw him. His initial plan to was have the girls cook and to help him take care of his house but they do nothing but lounge around, eat and whatever else they do to occupy their time. He practically begged to have them taken-off his hands. The old woman with the Dragon Ball smiled to Bulma, who followed them all with Goku, and handed her the Dragon Ball, seeing as she kept her word in the end. Bulma was definitely elated to have their Dragon Ball collection increase by one, getting her one step closer to making her wish.

---

The next day, the team of Bulma, Goku with their new addition of Oolong, was driving a speedboat down a large river to their next destination. The reason that Oolong was now traveling with them, which Goku was wondering, was because Bulma figured that his special powers of transformation would come in handy. Oolong was shocked to hear that, thinking that Bulma had a thing for him but she shot him down instantly wanting someone who was tall, dark, and handsome. Oolong was shocked, hating of having been reminded of his short stature and natural features but figured it was only a matter of time until she 'came around'. After a while of driving, Oolong asked where they were headed anyway since they've been driving for a long time. Bulma grabbed her map from her bag and told them that they were headed to a place called Fire Mountain. Oolong gave a squeal of fear and jerked back, not liking that at all. Goku and Bulma wondered why he was so frightened, especially since Bulma thought Goku could beat any old ox. He began to explain that Fire Mountain was a place that had to be avoided at all times. It was a mountain that was literally on fire and it was home to the fearsome Ox King. He was supposedly the strongest man in the whole world. He heard from others he was a 10 foot tall man who was 500 hundred ponds and was on the prowl for any who tried to climb his mountain, to reach his castle. He wielded a giant battle axe and terrified the country side for years. When you see him you only have the options of running or dying.

Once he let it sink in about whom this fearsome man was he decided that he wasn't going to hang around if it meant his life. He jumped into the air and turned into a fish before jumping into the water. Bulma turned the boat around and stopped, while Goku took off his clothes and jumped in after him. Oolong tried to hide in a school of fish but they pulled a 180 and swam the other way leaving him out in the open. He gasped when he saw Goku swimming after him, so he hid in some seaweed, watching as Goku went back to the surface. Goku told Bulma that he couldn't find Oolong, to where she had the bright idea of having to use the right bait for fishing. For Oolong, that meant a pair of her panties, which she attached to the end of a fishing line and threw into the water. It was only a few seconds before the line got caught and they reeled him onto the boat into Goku's arms. Seeing as he was stuck with them indefinitely, Oolong turned back to normal and got comfortable on the boat but he still hated the fact that they would be riding to what would more than likely be their imminent doom at Fire Mountain. Pretty soon, Goku complained that all of their food was gone once he got hungry, and Oolong was the same, even though he was the one to have eaten everything. Bulma then handed him a yellow pill which she claimed was supposed to have been some kind of natural strength enhancer. Without giving it much thought, Oolong popped it into his mouth. Goku asked for one too since he was still hungry but Bulma claimed that was the last one, letting Oolong get a smug look on his face that it was his natural charm that Bulma helped him out first.

He of course never did notice the smirk on her face when she watched him eat it. Then before they knew it, the boat stopped on the spot. Bulma checked to see that they were out of fuel, to which Goku commented that it was like being out of food. While impressed that Goku could make such a similar comparison she asked Oolong if he could turn into some gas. When he gave a negative to something that could literally drain him she asked for a paddle instead. Thinking of having her delicate hands handling him in that state, he went ahead and turned into one with his face on the paddle. She took the handle and demonstrated to Goku how to use it, making Oolong groan in disappointment that his expectations wouldn't come true. Even more so at how rough Goku was handling him as they made their way to shore. Oolong turned back to normal when they got back to shore, thankful to leave Goku's ridiculously strong grip. Said monkey-tailed boy tied the boat around a tree and then proceeded to go to another area to relieve himself in the water. Bulma nearly reprimanded him for being so public about it before sighing, seeing that it would just be a pointless endeavor. She walked over to Oolong who was smiling at their turn of events, addressing that they wouldn't be able to make it to Fire Mountain after all. Bulma just smirked herself and said that they were practically there as she reached into her pocket and fished for her Dyno Caps, while Oolong verbally gave his frustration about continuing their trek there.

Bulma's smirk vanished when she realized that her Dyno Caps weren't in her pocket at all, and was missing entirely. She screamed in anguish as they had no way to get out of the wasteland that they were in. She looked to Oolong with an accusing look and blamed him, saying that the little pig was the one who stole the caps, like how he stole their food. He didn't deny or accept that he did but he sure didn't appreciate that he had been called 'little'. He was very sensitive about how he was always so vertically challenged. Goku didn't understand their predicament entirely, to which Bulma explained that without any kinds of vehicles they were completely stuck where they were. Goku's Nimbus came from...out of nowhere and lifted him into the air, while he looked down to Bulma and asked why she couldn't walk but she countered and aid he had it easy because he could just ride the Nimbus. Goku then suggested that she had Oolong turn into a motor-bike and then ride him out of the wasteland. Bulma's mood changed entirely and she was amazed at the idea she claimed to have thought up, making Goku raise an eyebrow. She turned to Oolong with the sweetest expression she could muster but found that he wasn't anywhere to be seen, making her scream in shock that he had ditched them. Goku took off on his Nimbus too look for him but in the end he came up short and returned to Bulma. Oolong wasn't anywhere in sight at all while said pig tried to sneak away when he saw the coast was clear. But when he heard Bulma beginning to repeat the word 'piggy' all over again his stomach began to do back flips and somersaults. He groaned in immense pain before he felt the feeling beginning to rush down.

He yelled and groaned in shock this time before he jumped into some bushes, pulled his pants down and just let go. It was both inconvenient and embarrassing but he just couldn't help it. Apparently he wasn't quiet about it either, since Bulma began to call out to him with smugness in her voice. That pill he ate earlier was apparently a diarrhea pill that went off whenever someone makes the 'piggy' sound. She bragged about how she now had total control over him and he just inwardly cried at the state he was in. Of ALL of the ways to assume control over someone, this had to have been one of the most inhumane methods ever! Forced diarrhea!? And with such a degrading activation phrase! Oolong shed tears of his displeasure before he brought out a roll of toilet paper from one of his pockets and used some. Sighing in relief he pulled his pants up and walked out of the bushes to them, thankful of his foresight to carry some on his person whenever he went. Never knew when you'd need it and by God, he seriously needed it.

Though he did promise he'd stay in line when Bulma asked…if at least to find the quickest way to get to eh bathroom. Goku chastised him that this wouldn't have happened in the first place if he was nicer to which Oolong declared that he could still knock Goku around if he wanted. Bad choice of words since Goku repeated 'the phrase' making Oolong's stomach do my gymnastics as he began to sweat continuously. He ran back behind the bushes and was once again forced to get back to work, making even more use of the toilet paper while Goku just held his nose to block the smell of excrement, but still laughed at the pig's misfortune. Once again, Oolong was finished going 'number 2' and came back out of the bushes. Right after that Bulma told him to become a motorcycle so that she could ride herself out of the middle of nowhere. Oolong narrowed his eyes at her lazy-ness and the audacity she had to see him as nothing but just another means of transportation. So in a burst of smoke he became a pretty tiny looking bike with his face showing on the front. Bulma sure didn't think that it was much to which Oolong agreed, but for the reason that he didn't expect to be doing something like this in the first place. Taking what she could get she slowly got on the bike, but then Oolong caved under her weight.

She got up and yelled at him for somehow not even being able to get something simple right. Oolong claimed that it was because she just weighed too much before turning back to normal. He held and rubbed his aching back before finally admitting to them that he could only hold a new shape for a total of 5 minutes. Meaning that even if Bulma's (Goku's) idea worked and Oolong could carry her then it wouldn't have lasted very long anyway. He then explained that others assume transforming makes the user stronger but it really doesn't, so he couldn't carry her regardless. He then got a sly smirk on his face saying that he had his own idea before turning into a pair of pink panties. He smirked and suggested that Bulma put him on so only one of them would walk. Bulma just shook in anger before smacking the mess out of him, sending him to the ground. Goku addressed that it'd have been better if he turned into her hat instead. Though personally, Goku couldn't help but think that Oolong's powers were pretty cool. He could relate in some way of course, what with being able to turn into a massive ape an all but it's not like he could do it whenever he wanted. He found that it was a shame that Oolong's shape-changing wasn't as cool as it probably could be. Guess they'd have to travel the hard way it would seem.

Later

The three were walking through a scorching desert after traveling for most of the day. The sun was setting yet the group of three had not even stopped for a break once. Bulma had placed her jacket in her backpack and rolled up her sleeves. She and Oolong were using sticks to help them walk while Goku wasn't showing to have many problems, but he was feeling pretty hungry. As long as he didn't overexert himself then he could hold out until they get some food. He turned to them and reminded on how he gave up using his Nimbus to walk with them so the least they could do is keep up the pace. Bulma countered saying that he was used to it while she was a city-kid. They don't do things like this all that much and all that was around them was desert. Oolong just agreed, even going as far as to claim that he felt they were being watched. Bulma and Oolong plopped down in the dirt and sand, not having the energy to continue. Bulma wasn't even sure if she wanted too or not though she did know she didn't want to be out here anymore. She began screaming about how she misses her necessities of city life, like a bath or air conditioning. She scooted herself over to a rock formation which was giving comforting shade, so she slipped under and laid down before dozing off to sleep. Even Oolong was impressed with how self-centered she was but he decided to follow her example. He moved to his back, placing his arms behind his head while his hat covered his eyes. He tried to get some rest too while Goku plopped to his behind, feeling hungry.

Oolong grumbled in discomfort as he rubbed his own stomach feeling the same. Goku got up to go look for food but turned his head to Oolong with a knowing smirk, asking him if he liked bacon. Oolong felt incredibly offended by that, yelling his negative answer to Goku's snide question. Goku just gave a few snickers to him however both turned their head when they heard of a humming-like sound in the distance. They turned to see a large dust cloud forming and something heading towards them, which they couldn't make out. They got their answer eventually, seeing a young man riding towards them on a hover scooter. He stopped his vehicle in front of them and got off. He introduced himself, politely I might add, as Yamcha and that Goku and Oolong were trespassing on his land. A very blue cat on two legs hopped from behind Yamcha's leg. She declared that it was also her land as well. Oolong looked down to her and a hint of recognition went off in his brain, knowing he had seen her before. Yamcha showed that he wasn't such a nice guy after all since he asked for them to hand over any money and Dino Caps they had and he'd leave them in peace. Oolong finally realized who the cat was and addressed her as Puar. Apparently they both went to Shape-Shifting School together. He chuckled as he remembered all the times he messed with her.

Puar recognized Oolong too but not in a good way. Though unlike Oolong, there was malice in her voice. She spoke of how he picked on her because she was always smaller than he was. Yamcha smirked down to him, asking how it felt to be on the small side for a change compared to him. Oolong hid behind Goku and asked if he could fight Yamcha but Puar called him out on being the same coward that he always was when it came to getting in trouble, always hiding behind someone bigger whenever he felt like he was being threatened. Oolong ground his teeth at her words but Goku just told him that he really didn't change over the years. Yamcha was ready to get this show on the road, declaring that they either gave him his possessions or get ready to fight. Oolong asked Goku how strong her was since Yamcha didn't look like he was all talk. Goku replied that he was super strong which was enough incentive for Oolong to begin bragging about Goku's capabilities and that Yamcha had no chance to win. Taking that as his answer, Yamcha drew his sword and got ready to fight, while Puar and Oolong ran to safe locations. Oolong told Goku to destroy him, but Goku only asked him why he'd do that, since he didn't want to fight in the first place. Oolong yelled that it was because this bandit was trying to kill them.

Seeing his reasoning Goku declared that he would fight Yamcha if it meant protecting his friends. Yamcha narrowed his eyes at the young boy but commended him on his bravery. Once he was ready, Yamcha threw his sword sheath into the air, which distracted Goku. Taking that as an opening Yamcha charged and swung his word but Goku managed to doge at the last minute by jumping over him. Yamcha tried again making Goku dodge again, though Yamcha was forced to stop since he almost sliced Puar, who caught the sheath, in half. Going for another go he charged but Goku had enough. He jumped high and drew the Power Pole before going in for the attack. Yamcha blocked with his sword but was surprised by how much force was behind the swing. Goku landed on the ground and forced the pole to extend, which struck Yamcha in the stomach. His sword dropped from his grip and he was sent flying much to Puar's shock and Oolong's delight. Yamcha got back to his feet and commended on Goku's strength, to which said boy explained that his grandfather was the one who trained him. Yamcha looked at the Power Pole and knew exactly what it was, since it was a martial arts weapon of old that only one man possessed. He asked who Goku's grandfather was, to which the boy told that it was Gohan.

While surprised that he was fighting the grandson of Gohan himself, Yamcha figured that taking the pole would be a much better trade-off. Claiming that even with the Power Pole and Gohan's teachings, Goku was still no match for him. He declared that Goku hand him the weapon or prepare to fight to the death. Oolong knew that things just got much more serious and that this might not have been as easy as he thought, but Goku was just getting hungrier and hungrier. Just like he thought, over exerting himself was taking its toll on him. Yamcha smirked as he got ready to fight once again but it seemed he would be doing something different. He said that Goku wasn't the only one to possess special powers, as he took a stance before charging. His feet pounded the ground as his untapped ki potential took on the aspect of a wolf. It was seen to others for a few instances but it was there. He called out 'Wolf Fang Fist' while a battle cry followed after. A wolf's howl could be heard for a few seconds before is vanished. Yamcha then began to lay into Goku with a fierce flurry of rapid attacks that Goku wasn't capable of seeing at all. For a final move Yamcha sent him flying through 3 stone pillars making said stone structure fall on top of him.

Oolong, Puar, and Yamcha thought that killed him of course, entirely ignorant of Goku's durability. Puar cheered at Yamcha's supposed victory. Seeing Yamcha come after him this time, Oolong freaked out and tried to escape by transforming into a fly. Yamcha told Puar to go after him, to which she happily agreed too. She transformed herself into a fly-swatter and knock Oolong down. He yelled at her for that but she just smiled and said that she owed him one. Yamcha approached him once more demanding that he hand over what he had or he'd end up like Goku. Not at all liking the latter, he reluctantly reached into his pocket to grab whatever he had. Goku, for his part, climbed out of the rumble and held his stomach, feeling even hungrier than he did before but he still had to get back to fighting his new adversary. Before Yamcha could take the only capsule Oolong had Goku stomped his way over in irritation, ready to finish the fight. He took a stance making Yamcha charge right at him. They both punched the others fist and were locked in a quick stalemate. Goku ended it by poking both of Yamcha's eyes and giving an incredibly powerful palm strike to his face, leaving a hand print on it and sending him into a rock formation, before he bounced off and crashed into the ground. Having enough himself he gave a battle cry and charged at Goku in fury, but Goku was really feeling his hunger sapping away his remaining energy.

Bulma chose this time to wake up and asked what all of the yelling was about, not knowing it was Yamcha. He stopped dead in his tracks as he looked at her in a stupor. He got tingles up his body before his face turned red and he fell over. Puar hopped over to him and wondered if he was okay but he told her that she knew of his 'problem' around cute girls. He just rushed over to his hover scooter and took off into the distance. Oolong was relieved that he was gone but Bulma asked them who the 'hunk' was. Oolong growled at how she could see someone like that bandit in such a way and not him. Goku looked like he was going to keel over wondering when they'd finally get some food. With that crisis averted Oolong chose that moment to show his usefulness for the second time since he joined this little rag-tag team. He moved them a ways away from where they were and pulled out the Dyno Cap that Yamcha almost took. He clicked it and threw it away from him which then blew up in a burst of smoke. When it cleared it showed it was a Camper Dyno Cap. Basically a pretty advanced RV. Bulma nearly had tears in her eyes from seeing such a familiar sight while Oolong led them in. Half an hour later, after Oolong and Goku explained to Bulma what happened when she slept, he cooked food for them all which Goku was ecstatic about. Especially the turkey he was munching on. Bulma asked why he never let them know about this capsule to which he replied he didn't want Yamcha taking it. Bulma just wished she could see him again, thinking of how dreamy he was.

She asked if he had a bath anywhere in here. Oolong pointed to a room a little in the back before leading her into it. After a few minutes he came back out and sat next to Goku as night fell. Oolong said how he was worried Yamcha and Puar would come back but Goku wasn't really all that worried about them. Oolong said he wasn't worried because he had nothing worth stealing but Goku countered saying that he does have his Dragon Ball. Oolong asked him what that was, making Goku think a little before telling him. Bulma did say to not tell Oolong since he was a pretty shifty guy and Goku had seen that in the pig a lot of times. But he figured that he'd be able to catch Oolong if he tried to steal it or any of the other balls anyway so he shrugged and decided to tell him. He pulled out his grandfather's ball and showed Oolong, who stared at it in wonder. He let Oolong hold it as he explained the property of the Dragon Balls that Bulma told him and what happens when you gather all 7 of them. Thoughts upon thoughts ran through the pigs mind as he recapped everything he was told, which was then confirmed by Goku. When he asked how many they had, Goku responded that they had 5 of the balls already in their possession. Oolong gave a big grin as he rubbed the Four-Star Ball in wonder, declaring that they were onto something really big with these balls. He couldn't help but try to think of all of the things he could wish for. What WOULD he wish for!? He had no desire to be famous much and he could always scam people for money. If was work but it was satisfying work. If there were only two things he ever wanted in life…if was to either be taller...MUCH taller or to be a hit with very cute girls. Maybe he could wish for his own harem! One who finds short and stout pigs attractive!

He blushed at all of the implications and gave a pervy grin. Of course…being short and all he wasn't very 'compensating' where it counted and that hurt his pride incredibly, but if said harem didn't mind the packaging then he could get over it pretty quickly. He handed Goku the ball and the monkey-tailed boy placed it back in the small brown bag that carried it. Oolong had to grasp at the moment while Bulma was still away. Oolong placed his arms behind his head and leaned back.

"You know kid; we need to cut Bulma out. That's all there is to it." He said, making Goku look at him questioningly.

"But Bulma and I are partners. Why would you want to cut her out?"

Oolong removed his arms from their current area and placed them on his knees, turning to Goku. "Look, kid, she's a girl and we're guys," he placed his fists near his mouth and gained a pervish look, "and we're gonna wanna wish for some guy things. Like a harem… with 300 girls!" He exclaimed mainly to himself and he drooled a little bit and blushed deeply. His imagination ran wild as he began to lightly make snorting noises like the pig he was. Once again, he just lost Goku.

"Golly, why would you wanna wish for 300 girls?" Goku asked.

Oolong gained a look of indifference again and moved his arms back behind his head. "Huh? How's that kid?"

"Well…it's just I thought you would want to wish for something that you could actually use. Like what about your transforming powers?"

Oolong raised an eyebrow at the question. "What about 'em?"

"Well you said that your powers only work for 5 minutes for one thing, so you can't really get a lot of use out of them a lot. And even though you can turn into big things like those monsters, you're still kinda weak." Oolong was about to make an angry retort but Goku kept talking, cutting him off. "I think a better wish for you would be if you could become a better shape shifter, then you might be able to transform into something girls would like. Or make yourself super strong so you won't be afraid of stuff anymore."

Oolong's features calmed down instantly after Goku gave his thoughts. That…that didn't actually sound too bad of a wish as he thought about it. Even though he's been able to get as far as he did in most of his life because of his shape-shifting, he had to admit that he wasn't really all that proud of his current capabilities with it. Anyone who's graduated from the Shape-shifting Academy had the power to hold any form for as long as they wanted. He got kicked out of course so he doesn't have as much experience as he should have. And while he can turn into a handsome man or whatever, his time-limit always got the best of him. Another thing was that he wasn't all that good in turning into other people at most times, and even if he pulled it off then he could never get change his voice appropriately. Vocals like his weren't meant to have range. Though the same rule applies to all with the power that they don't really get any stronger than what they are currently able. Okay, maybe depending on the form they do get new traits or some forms of enhancements and becoming a monster does kinda factor that in, but nothing too extravagant besides that. Though if he was able to have this magical dragon boost his powers, like, one-hundred fold then…

Goku moved closer and pointed at him. "Besides, could you imagine have to listen to 300 Bulma's?"

Oolong's train of thought shattered at the prospect of such evil. He hated that even one of that girl existed in the first place? Who the hell did she think she was anyway? A freaking slave-driver is what. Forcing him on their whacky adventure, forcing him to have the runs whenever she (Or anyone else) wanted, forcing him to make her feel 'at home' in his RV and when he tries to show hospitality she just writes everything off as 'it could be better but I'll use it'. Wasn't she the one who was having a hissy fit about not being near any kind of civilization? If it wasn't for the fact that she was only 2 years older than him and was a cute girl then he'd have no form of physical attraction to her what-so-ever. He smirked evilly to himself. 'If my plan goes well tonight…then I'm sure as hell gonna give that broad her 'just deserts. Heheheheh~ Then after I've had my fun I should nab those Dragon Balls and high-tail it outta here to boot.'

Sad to say that plan didn't go so well. He may have started off good by placing sleep powder in the juice he gave Goku and Bulma, knocking them out cold. He was about to have his own perverted revenge against a nude-deathly sleeping Bulma before taking the Dragon Balls, however he heard a noise downstairs. He thought that it was Goku who would've rated him out to Bulma if he saw her so he changed into a less than desirable form of Bulma, just as a crazier than normal-looking Goku said he wanted to show him something outside. It turned out to be Puar transformed shocking him, while he shocked her by showing he was transformed too. They were then alerted by Yamcha screaming at the RV, making Puar fly off to him with Oolong in tow, as they slinked away. Suffice to say that Oolong didn't get to have any sort of break that night. He shed off his daily clothes into something more comfortable. A T-shirt and overalls, grabbed his rifle from his hidden compartment and sat in the driver seat, watching in case those two nut jobs came back again. So he waited until morning for Goku to wake up, feeling relived that he did. Bulma came down too, and then yelled at him when he told her he didn't wash her clothes. He tried to explain he was protecting them from Yamcha when he snuck in here but Bulma just got googly-eyes at him. Oolong just told her where he had one set of clothes she could possibly wear, making her yell at him again for not telling him sooner. He glanced to Goku and agreed that 300 of that definitely was a few too many.

Apparently said outfit was a bunny costume that looked more for when Oolong had 'special company' over and Bulma most certainly didn't appreciate it. This was exactly why Oolong didn't even tell her in the first place because he knew exactly that she'd react like this. Seriously, the more he got to know her, the less attractive she became. At the moment, she was at her cutest when she was sleeping and butt-naked at that. She was even forcing him to drive, which was another thing he didn't like either. Why drive when you could turn into something that could fly fast anyway, like a rocket? Speaking of Bulma, she was busy putting on make-up in case they ran into Yamcha again. For Oolong seeing him and Puar anywhere at any time would be too soon. So imagine his thoughts when Goku pointed out they were driving by next to them….and with both a machine gun and a rocket launcher!? Bulma ran to the window to see Yamcha but saw the rocket headed towards them, which blew up a few of their front tires and some of the RV's front, cap-sizing it. She was knocked out while Goku and Oolong came outside, Goku not at all happy about what they just did.

Yamcha demanded for the Dragon Balls or else they would lose their lives, making them wonder how he knew about them. Oolong couldn't help but think that was probably why they were trying to get into the RV last night, because they might've overheard him and Goku. Goku then got into another battle with Yamcha, who accepted but lost incredibly this time around. And with a missing tooth no less along with a big red bruise on his right cheek before him and Puar drove away. They decided that since the RV was ruined they would leave it, while Goku grabbed Bulma and placed her on his back as she slept. As they walked, Yamcha drove over to them again but was acting….unusually cheerful. He claimed that he didn't wish to fight and that they had a misunderstanding before he took on his of capsules and threw it to them, making a red car appear. Oolong for sure didn't trust it wondering what the catch was but Yamcha said there wasn't one before he and Puar drove away. Goku thought he might've actually been nice deep down but Oolong wasn't having it. He even checked for bombs just in case. Goku could understand why Oolong was distrustful though. Yamcha wasn't at all being nice to them before so maybe it was a little weird he turned around like that…but he wasn't one to complain when it came to making new allies. Even for a bandit like him.

Seeing that it was safe, Oolong got in the driver's seat while Goku placed Bulma in the backseat, her snoring up a storm. He got into the passenger seat before Oolong drove them across the desert. After a couple hours or so they were finally back in the mountains with mountains, tree's and an actual path as Bulma woke up from unconsciousness. She wondered how long it would take them to get to Fire Mountain but Oolong just told her not long enough. She couldn't believe how he was still scared of a legend that more than likely was just that, and that a mountain couldn't be on actual fire; though the temperature was increasing for some reason. Goku saw a mass of red in the distance and exclaimed how that sunset was amazing to which Bulma agreed, but Oolong narrowed his eyes at their stupidity in his opinion. For one, the sun was behind them. For another, it was never red. He told them that was Fire Mountain ahead of them, making Bulma yell in shock that the legend wasn't a legend after all. They stopped a long distance away to get a much clearer view of the flaming mountain and the castle on top, as they all got out the car to see it. Oolong was ready to leave but Bulma disagreed, saying they couldn't without the Dragon Ball. Oolong tried to get them to see reason that it was impossible to get it because they had to get though both the Ox King and the flaming mountain to get to the castle in the first place, and both of those feats were ridiculous in themselves.

Bulma asked if he lived up there to which Oolong replied he once did but even he can't pass through the flames. Goku asked why he'd start the fire but Oolong told them that he didn't. He paid a wizard to make it as a shield for his castle to protect it from thieves but the flames raged out of control, so now he lives on the outside. Bulma was surprised he knew so much to which he was a tour guide for the local Chamber of Commerce before he hopped back into the car and was ready to drive away. Bulma called him a massive coward again but Oolong replied that he knew she wasn't scared because she expected Goku to protect her. But Oolong knew that even Goku wasn't immune to fire. Goku replied that his grandpa just taunt him to be fearless. Oolong wanted to show them was his own grandfather taught him before he shifted the car into reverse and began to hightail it away, making Bulma gasp and yell at him to come back with their only means of transportation. Goku wanted to give him a head-start anyway, knowing that Oolong couldn't get away. Cue the 'piggy' noises Bulma began making and Oolong was forced to stop, run out the car and act on Bulma's words. Goku couldn't help but laugh and join in on the fun of Oolong's forced diarrhea torture.

So when that was over Bulma and Goku made their way over to the car and got in, telling him to take them to the mountain. He growled in anger once again, hating that 'piggy pill' more and more. He couldn't believe that he was being forced to put his own life on the line by such a monstrous pair like them. Goku may have had the super strength but Bulma was the deadlier of the two, he could just feel it. So he did what he was told like a 'good piggy' and drove them down the road, right into the ruins of an old town which they got to looking around on foot. Being so close to the mountain made the sky above them turn red as well. The temperature had to be over 100 degree and climbing. Oolong wanted the two of them to be quiet since the Ox King could be lurking around any corner but that didn't seem to really register with them. Bulma checked the radar to see that the ball really was in the castle but had no way of getting it. She asked Goku is he could fly up there to which he nodded and called the Nimbus to Oolong's ire. He sailed up to the castle and tried to fly in but got caught in a blast of flame, catching his tail on fire. He yelled in pain and flew off to try and douse it somewhere while a large axe flew in between Bulma and Oolong, embedding itself into the wall. They slowly turned in fright to see a GIANT burly mass clad in armor and an upper-facial mask bear down on them. They screamed in fright as he grabbed his axe from the stone.

He ordered what they were doing here and Bulma tried to describe they weren't here for anything. All hope was lost on Oolong. His mouth was stiffly shut as he soiled himself, which he didn't even realize. The Ox King questioned that they weren't thinking of trying to steal his castle's treasure but Bulma yelled in panic they didn't even know about a castle. She even tried to get Oolong for confirmation which he dumbly nodded too. The Ox King yelled that if they were lying, getting dangerously close to Bulma making her scream even louder before calling for Goku. A few seconds later he came from the sky on his Power Pole, saying how tough getting into the castle was going to be. The Ox King gave a loud 'AHA!' while Bulma and Oolong were shaking that Goku gave them away right in front of the massive man. He accused them of being filthy treasure hunters which he didn't like. Goku tried to tell him otherwise but the Ox King wasn't listening as he began to swing his axe left and right at Goku, trying to chop him in half either vertically or horizontally. Goku tried to a kick to the abdomen but the Ox King's bulk just shrugged it off. So Goku called for the Nimbus and flew around his head faster and faster getting him dizzy. When he felt he spun around him enough he kicked the back of his head hard but the Ox King only tiled forward a bit, making Goku narrow his eyes and how tough he was.

Oolong called out that Goku had to run since he couldn't stand up to the Ox King which made him stop fighting and look at the man in wonder, asking if it was true. He got a confirmation from said king and gave a big smile and how strong he was. The Ox King spoke of how he knew of the Nimbus and knew that no one could ride it if it was stolen. He asked Goku who gave it to him, to which Goku replied that a man called the Turtle Hermit did. The Ox King knew that Goku was speaking of Roshi who was his old teacher and wondered if Goku knew where he could find him. Goku drifted to Bulma and asked if they could possibly find Roshi, to which she replied that it was a probability since it might've been close to the beach they were on when they met him. The Ox King jumped around and cheered, shaking everything around him at finally being able to go back to his castle. He then noticed the Power Pole on Goku's back and gave it a good look before asking where Goku got it, calling it a tooth pick. Goku said that it was the Power Pole and that his grandfather gave it to him.

The Ox King asked if Goku's grandfather is named Gohan, making Goku nod. The Ox King gave a big smile and told that Gohan once tried to break the Power Pole over his head. Goku wondered if they fought before to which the large man nodded. Bulma and Oolong were staring in amazement about the conversation that was happening right in front of them. The Ox King said that the two of them are like brothers, especially back in the day. Gohan was the first to be trained by Roshi while the Ox King had the honor of being the second, before finally acknowledging Goku was Gohan's boy. Goku introduced himself making the Ox King smile at the similar but unique name. Oolong sat down and sighed about that being the reason why Goku was so strong. A part of him was actually pretty jealous about that. Goku said he was taught to be fearless by his grandfather and while Oolong initially thought that such a thing was ridiculous, after seeing and hearing what he did he could understand. His grandfather was taught by the man who also taught the supposed strongest fighter in the world, the Ox King. No wonder he was able to floor Yamcha so easily after he was back to full strength. How could you not be confident when you have power like that at your beck and call? Bulma realized that she hasn't been the most tolerant of people to be around, even after meeting Goku's grandfather she never expected something like that from the old man. She just hoped he'd still want to travel with her.

Deciding to stop going down memory lane, the Ox King asked Goku if he could do him a favor. He told Goku that Master Roshi has a special fan that was crafted from a palm leaf called the Bansho Fan. It was the only thing that could extinguish Fire Mountain. He asked if he could use the Nimbus to get to Roshi and borrow the fan from him, making Goku nod his head and say he could. Goku asked if the Ox King could do something for him in return, making the man wonder what it was. Goku brought out his Dragon Ball and showed it to him, saying that they were collecting them and that the Ox King had one in his castle. The Ox King looked at the ball and realized that he did have something like that in there. He had no problem with giving it to Goku if he did this favor, making the boy smile. Before he could fly away the Ox King stopped him again, saying that he sent his only daughter, Chi-Chi to retrieve the Bansho Fan. He was worried that something happened to her and wanted Goku to look for her. Goku said her name in question making the Ox King give and nod. He did say she was a bit of a coward and all before he stopped speaking. A grin erupted on his face as he clapped his hands and raised a finger, asking if Goku would like to marry her. Goku gave him a confused look at the request before the Ox King brought out a picture of her. Whatever Oolong was thinking, it definitely wasn't close to it, since Chi-Chi was a very cute young girl.

Since Goku knew who to look for, he took off into the woodlands for the Ox King's daughter. It didn't take her too long to find her, since she was standing in a field apparently mumbling to herself about something. He flew down and asked her if she was indeed Chi-Chi, letting he reply that as a positive but she didn't know how Goku knew her name. He drifted closer as she said he was the second to do so before yelling and accusing him of loving her. He told she seemed nice which she replied that she wasn't sure her papa would allow her to have a boyfriend yet. Not really understanding what she said, he told her that her dad asked him to find her so they could both look for Master Roshi and get the Bansho Fan. He turned around on his Nimbus and told her to get on since they had to get a move on. Chi-Chi was in awe at seeing the puffy cloud. She asked if she would really ride it without falling off. Goku said she could but only for those who were pure of heart. The young girl wasn't worried, claiming that her father only tolerated good behavior so she hasn't ever done anything he would disapprove of. She struggled to get onto the cloud which made Goku ask if she needed help. She grabbed the end of his tail which he lifted without effort, even with her on it, and sat her down on the Nimbus. Once she was settled Goku took off into the air, with Chi-Chi holding onto him tightly as she flailed around helplessly and screaming at the thought of falling. Goku told her to relax and try to stand up. He offered his hand and helped her to her feet, thought that didn't stop her from grabbing tightly to his gi and keeping her eyes closed.

After a while of flying he noticed that she was still pretty frightened at flying, and decided to help her feel a bit more comfortable. So grabbing her hand again he helped set her down onto her knees while he sat down himself. He told her to open her eyes so she could see where they were heading. Chi-Chi was still a tad frightened but she slowly opened them, and watched as they were sailing over the desert, while headed over to more woodland in the distance. Goku smiled and addressed how neat flying was, to which she giggled and blushed while looking at him. Later they sailed over the ocean but Goku didn't know where they were looking so he figured they should ask for directions. Chi-Chi agreed and giggled afterwards, making her wonder why she was doing that. She told him it was about a hunk she just met, making her hold her head and blush thinking she just gave herself away that she was talking about him. Goku didn't realize and just shook his head in disbelief, asking if that was all girls thought about. They found a dolphin swimming below them making Goku ask it for directions to Master Roshi, which it did with no problem. Goku thanked it and took off in said direction, letting the two children find an island with a pink house on it they were approaching. Roshi and Turtle were seen standing on the beach so Goku yelled to get their attention.

Roshi and Turtle both said hello, while Roshi addressed he figured that he'd meet Goku again someday. Chi-Chi blinked a couple of times. This little old man was the one who trained her giant powerful brute of a father? She literally couldn't believe it. She had to ask Goku if he was sure this was Roshi which he replied with a simple 'yup' before hopping from the Nimbus, Chi-Chi doing the same. Goku showed Roshi he still had the Nimbus, letting the old man look at the cloud. He believed the yellow cloud was made for someone like Goku with how pure he was and how much he uses it. Why wouldn't he use it anyway? It's a flying cloud for Pete's sake. Roshi noticed Chi-Chi and wiggled his eyebrows in confusion. He asked why his friend had changed from a young 'bountiful' woman to a young, innocent girl. Both children didn't fully understand what he meant but Goku managed to catch on. He let Roshi know that he was talking about Bulma and this was another girl named Chi-Chi, who is the daughter of the Ox King. Roshi was surprised again, as he thought back to when he trained two young boys back in his hay-day. He turned his back and walked a short distance as he talked of how he trained the Ox King and how he hasn't seen him in a long time.

With his back turned Chi-Chi asked Goku if this man was really Roshi. Goku said it was but she didn't believe it. She said he had to prove himself to be a martial arts master and what better way than to test him? She took a stance and grabbed the blade that jutted from her helmet with her hands, before throwing at the man's turned back. She claimed that if he could avoid it then he's Roshi. Roshi had known the projectile was coming but decided to do her better by deflecting it with his cane. Too bad he didn't know that it was a very sharp weapon that slice right through the top of his cane and got stuck in his head. He yelled in absolute pain and gripped his head while Turtle addressed how much that had to have hurt. Chi-Chi figured that she had it all figured out and accused Roshi of not being who he said he was and that the 'real' Roshi would've dodged it. He yelled that no one could've dodged that in time but she thought that was just an excuse and demanded his real identity, so Roshi pulled out his ID to shut her ridiculous accusations up. She gasped in fear at her blunder, thinking of what her dad would do to her. If she had killed him because of that she knew that dad would give her nothing but punishment for the rest of her life and killing his master and dooming their chances at going home. Good thing his head looked really durable. So she pulled her weapon out of his head causing him more pain as he fell over.

Turtle told Goku where the large band-aids were in the house and told him to go get one for the master. He came back out and placed it on the wound before helping him up and asking about the Bansho Fan. He claimed he had it and spoke of the effects of it. The first time it's waved it causes a heavy wind. The second time makes a rain cloud and it rains a lot on the third time but he couldn't give it to the kids because of how dangerous it is. Chi-Chi pleaded with him that they needed it because the flames surrounding their castle were too large and too hot. They had no chance of getting back to their castle without it. He was thinking as he came to a conclusion of helping them for help in return. Telling Chi=Chi to stay put he asked to speak to Goku privately…after he got some tape to put the top part of his staff together. Of course, Turtle followed them not trusting Roshi worth anything. He told Goku if he could bring back Bulma to his island he'd give Goku the fan. He then went into details about what he'd hope he could get out of her coming here which was basically him wanting to date her. Turtle got angry and told him that was against his code. Roshi shushed him and said it was a walk before calling him a do-gooder. Turtle just called him hopeless. Roshi got agitated and said that an old man needed fun before he went.

Turtle called out his bullshit, arguing that since he drunk from the 'Fountain of Youth' he was nowhere close to dying a natural death. By Turtle's estimate, Roshi had gone into his 'old man' phase 100 years ago. The fountain slows down aging considerably for if Roshi hadn't drunk it, he'd have been dead a very long time ago anyway. If Turtle had to guess, Roshi would be alive for another century or two before it was his time to go. Goku wasn't as gullible as Roshi thought, since Bulma let him know that Roshi was someone she knew would only want to do inappropriate things to her like before. She explained to Goku that he was a man that would've gotten into a lot of trouble in the city from behaving the way he did. So he knew that Roshi would want to do more inappropriate things…but even so, he had to do anything to get that fan. Meaning that he'd have to either lie for it or actually put Bulma in the line of fire.

Eh, he'd cross that bridge when he'd come to it. He told Roshi that he could probably get Bulma to talk with him about the deal, making Roshi smile and nod his head before turning to Chi-Chi. He told Goku she couldn't know about this because he didn't want her dad to know either. Goku nodded and said that it was a secret before telling Chi-Chi the good news of them being allowed to use the fan. Chi-Chi jumped for joy at it, happy that they were so close to getting her and her dad home. So Roshi went into his house and began to tear the place up looking for the fan but wasn't successful. So looking out the window, he asked Turtle if he could remember what Roshi did with the fan. Turtle said he was using it as a place-mat last time, making Chi-Chi give a look of disbelief at such a powerful object being used in such a careless way. Roshi then remembered he threw it away from spilling juice on it, not realizing that it was the fan. He dropped his head in shame while Chi-Chi began to tear up. Turtle knew it was coming before it even started and soon the water-works came. Chi-Chi said that they had no way of putting out the fire while Goku grumbled at not being able to get the Dragon Ball.

Roshi told them to calm down since he'd just have to go to Fire Mountain to put those flames out himself. They both widened their eyes at the claim, as Goku asked if he could do that. Roshi seemed offended and claimed that there was nothing he couldn't do. He headed into the house and fixed everything up before coming back out with a change of clothes. Karate shoes with blue pants and an orange long-sleeve shirt with white rims around the sleeves and down the middle. He said he had to look sharp, no telling what could happen during the day. Goku asked how he could follow them since he couldn't' ride the Nimbus but Roshi had chuckled before pointing his staff to the sky and declared 'Come to me, Baby Gamila!' and right after a spinning turtle shell with flames jutting from it flew through the air and plopped onto the beach. A dark brownish-green turtle popped out and asked what Roshi needed. He told Gamila he needed to get to Fire Mountain which the turtle had no problem with, before turning to Turtle himself and said to behave himself. He didn't like the request, seeing as Roshi was the one always misbehaving. Making sure that Goku remembered the deal he climbed onto Gamila's back while Goku and Chi-Chi got on the Nimbus and they all headed off to Fire Mountain.

Back at Fire Mountain, Goku had to give the Ox King the news that the Bansho Fan was ruined which didn't set well with the Ox King. Goku said it didn't matter since Roshi could put out the fire himself. Oolong snorted and smirked at Goku, saying how it was funny that he was naïve enough to fall for a claim like that. Even the Ox King didn't believe such a claim even from his own master. Goku pointed to the sky and showed that Roshi arrived, riding in on Gamila. He made quite the impression since the Ox King, Bulma and Oolong were staring at him in surprise before he jumped all the way down and landed without effort. The Ox King ran over to greet him and went to bow but the force knocked him back, as he gave groans at being dizzy from the flight. He did his best to stand up and adjust not at all liking what riding Gamila came with. Goku asked if he was going to put out the flames but Roshi got irritated and turned to the Ox King who was bowing to him. He reprimanded him for hurting others just to protect some lousy treasure of his and that it was disrespectful to the master who taught him.

No one expected to see the large burly Ox King groveling at the old man's feet, begging for his forgiveness. Roshi just rolled his eyes behind his glasses and said that he already did, he just had to get himself together. He looked to the flames and stared in disbelief that the Ox King wasn't capable of putting them out himself. He joked about it being that he was too old to which the Ox King agreed, though it was more than likely just him sucking up the Roshi than being true. Roshi then nudged Goku about their agreement, so the two grabbed Bulma pulled her away from the group and spoke privately. She asked what it was about while Goku just blurted out that Roshi wanted to go on a date with her in exchange from bringing him here, but he quickly came in and said mainly a moonlight-stroll. Bulma didn't see the difference and began to lay into him with more obscene names and pervert calling. Roshi then tried to shift some of the blame of Goku, saying he thought that Bulma figured it'd be okay, making her growl and look to him. Goku leaned back a little and rubbed his head, saying that it was the only way to get him to help.

Bulma sighed and said that she's go on a walk with him and nothing else. Just a short walk and nothing else as long as he put out those flames, since her wish was on the line. Roshi forced Bulma to pinky-swear as a promise while she wondered how she gets herself into these kinds of situations. They came back around to the others with Roshi saying that he was ready to begin. Bulma almost hoped that he couldn't do it because of the creepy man's deal. He then walked in front of everyone and dropped his shell from his back and staff. He undid his shirt revealing his bony torso to everyone. He asked Goku for a boost as he tried to get onto a short wall of rubble and faced the flames without any obstacles in his way. Everyone watched as he took deep breathes and balled his fists up. He grunted in exertion before his arms grew a mass of muscles out of nowhere, shocking everyone. He took another breath before he gave a loud yell as his torso followed suit making everyone else jerk back at the sight. He placed his arms in front of him as he was outlined in blue energy. The Ox King said that Roshi was getting ready to use his famous 'Kamehameha Wave'.

Roshi placed the balls of his hands on top of each other and curled in his fingers before he began to chant. "Kaaa…meee…" he brought his arms to his right side as his hands were now outlined in power, "haaa…meee…HAAA!" With that, he thrust his hands in front of him, making large ball of blue ki erupt from his palms and illuminating the area before a blue beam blasted out towards the flames. When the blast made contact the fire glowed white before there was a massive explosion, which made everyone cover their eyes. When they could see they found Roshi back to his normal self and setting on the little wall, tired of having exerted himself. The Ox King said the while he did take out the fire, Roshi blew away the mountain and the castle along with it. Roshi just blushed and rubbed his head, claiming that it was his mistake making them all fall over. Bulma took Oolong and went to go look for the ball in the rubble. Roshi, getting his discarded items, apologized for what he did to the castle but the Ox King was just glad the flames were gone and Chi-Chi said they could always rebuild. Goku asked if he could learn the 'Kamehameha' himself but Roshi just chuckled and said that he'd have to learn it in 50 years, making Goku sigh in disappointment and look at his palms.

He walked away from the group and looked to their red car before he took a deep breath and got ready to try it anyway. He took the same stance Roshi took and placed his hands to his right hip. "Ka…me…ha…me…HA!" He thrust his own hands forward as a small ball of blue ki appeared and a small beam came right after and slammed right into the car. While the vehicle wasn't blown away it was definitely ruined and wouldn't be of use to anyone. All of the windows were blown out, the tires blew off and it looked like it got slammed into the side from something large. Chi-Chi, Roshi and the Ox King were shocked that Goku wasn't able to perform such an advanced technique after only seeing it done once. Goku looked to his hands. "I did it! Aw, but it wasn't even close to what the Turtle Hermit did."

Ox King thought that was excellent and that it made sense he'd get it so easily since Goku's Gohan's grandson. Roshi had to agree, not at all doubting that his second student gave nothing but the best basic training to Goku. Not to mention that Gohan also knew the Kamehameha as well while the Ox King was never all that capable of tapping into his energy, though he obvious did excel at the physical exercises. It made Gohan a prodigy in his own right to learn his master's very own technique. Roshi wouldn't put it past him to have been helping Goku working with his energy in some form or fashion. He walked over to Goku and asked how his grandfather was doing. Goku said that he was doing well as far as he knew. Gohan raised him in the mountains and told him to go on an adventure when they met Bulma. Roshi nodded and gained a big smile before asking if Goku would like to train under him. Goku gave a big smile and said that it would be a great honor to train under his grandfather's teacher. Of course, Roshi also asked if it would be possible to see Gohan again after such a long time though Goku was sure that it was possible. He didn't see why not, so he said that he'd let Gohan know once he saw him again someday.

Bulma was heard in the distance giving yells of elation, making Goku figure out that she found the Dragon Ball. She and Oolong came back and little scuffed up from looking all over the rubble but nothing too bad. She gapped when she saw the state of their car wondering who did it. Goku, proud of himself at his ability, said he did it. Bulma glared and said he blew up their car and now they had no way of getting around. The Ox King pulled out a capsule and said they could have one of his and that Goku deserved a reward for doing an excellent job. So he flicked it and in a burst of smoke, a green topless car appeared in front of them. Bulma smiled and got in the driver's seat before switching the setting on the Dragon Radar to long range since the final ball was very far. She told Goku and Oolong to get in the car as she started it up and was about to drive off but Roshi tapped her on the head with her cane, reminding her of her promise. She gave a nervous laugh and stepped out of the car but grabbed Oolong and ran around some rubble away from them. Roshi turned in their direction and walked a little closer to the area, waiting for Bulma.

Chi-Chi walked over to the car and looked to Goku, asking if he was ever going to think about her again. He said he thought so, making her blush and giggle and his accidental word-play. He repeated the question back to her making her blush deeper and cover her face. Goku just blinked in confusion while waiting for Bulma, Oolong and Roshi to come back. After a few minutes they did. At least Bulma and Oolong did but Roshi had tissues in his nose, while some blood was in his beard and he looked dazed. Bulma and Oolong got into the car as they waved Good-bye to the other three and drove off on the search for their final Dragon Ball.

After a day of driving (and the ridiculous fiasco of dealing with crazy rabbit thugs who were led by an actual rabbit-man) Oolong, Goku and Bulma, who had on better clothes compared to that bunny suit she grabbed from the previous village, were driving through more badlands but with giant mushrooms all around. Oolong asked Bulma if they could all get their wishes granted which led to her telling him that she wanted a boyfriend from her wish. Oolong yelled at her for her wish being a total rip-off since it would be incredibly pointless. After another argument and almost crashing from Oolong being distracted followed by another argument, they all got blind-sided by a missile which blew their car to pieces and sent them flying onto the dirt. They saw that it was a robot who was the culprit. He took the briefcase that held 5 of their 6 balls and took off, making Goku chase after him with the Nimbus. He came back to tell them the 'monster' was dead but he didn't know where the Dragon Balls were, making Bulma sulk at her lost wish and that whoever stole them must've already summoned the dragon. Goku pointed out he still had the Four-Star Ball, which brightened up Bulma's mood. She hugged and rubbed her face against Goku's foresight to keep his grandfather's ball but he didn't think she had to show as much affection as she did. Oolong was different, telling her she could show said affection to him but all he got was her foot to his face.

She was ready to chase after the crooks in another car that she bought from the village they were in but remembered they were in there with the Dragon Balls. Her mood changed again to balling her eyes out making Goku and Oolong look at her with blank stares. Before they knew it, it was Yamcha to the rescue as he and Puar pulled up in their own hover-car next to them. And of course, he was acting like a clown in close proximity to Bulma. She didn't seem to notice as she was too wrapped up in her own heated emotions, blushing up a storm. She hopped in his car and tossed Puar into the back while asking for a ride and turned on his charm. Soon the two older humans were in the two front seats with Oolong and Puar riding on top of the back and Goku riding his Nimbus beside them. To figure out where the balls were, she had Yamcha and Puar close their eyes and discreetly pull out her radar to check where the 6 balls were. Hey, she may have been infatuated with the guy but she wasn't stupid enough to let anyone but her own companions know about the radar. After checking where they had to go, and a little more flirting, Yamcha blasted off at full-speed to their destination which was a massive castle they had stopped in front of.

The five walked up to the massive double doors as Goku pushed one of them wide open, showing a very dark tunnel. They had no choice but to proceed, though the bats were most definitely an unwelcome surprise. Another one were the stone pillars they threatened to crush them all against the ground, walls and ceiling but leave it to Yamcha and Goku to begin smashing them all to pieces. As to avoid more traps, they began to creep along the side of the walls until they found some pink arrows littering the ground. Not knowing what else to do they followed after the arrows being all the more careful since it could just be another trap. They came up to a dead end when they got to the last arrow, which proved to be another trap after all as a stone wall came down from behind them. Goku and Yamcha decided to try and bust out of either of the walls but they were too thick for either of them to make so much as a scratch. Just then a face appeared on a monitor that was in the room, showing a blue imp wearing a red and blue ht and frilly collar. When Bulma asked who he was, he addressed himself as Emperor Pilaf, letting them know he stole the Dragon Balls. He confirmed that he was but he needed to get the last one from them. Bulma made a face at him when he asked for them to hand it over which he didn't like, so with a push of a button, a metallic claws came from the ceiling and grabbed her before bring her to him.

He threatened that he'd give her "The Treatment" if she didn't comply with his demands but Bulma, being Bulma, obviously refused. His two henchmen behind him, who were named Mai and Shu, quivered in fear at Pilaf as he was ready to go through with his threat which made him laugh darkly. Bulma turned his head and closed her eyes, not knowing what to expect but promised herself to keep her mouth shut no matter what. Soon, "The Treatment" came….which was a kiss being blown at her. She stared at him in confusion asking if that was really what he had her so worried about before insulting him about how a child could easily think of something similar. Not being able to take the verbal abuse he sent her back to the group. Afterwards, yellow sleeping gas came out from some nozzles underneath the monitor and forced the rag-tag group to fall to sleep. After an unknown amount of time Bulma woke up and noticed the empty sack on the ground that held the Four-Star Ball. She screamed and rushed over to Goku, trying to shake him away and yelling that the bad-guys now had all of the Dragon Balls. Yamcha shot up after accidentally getting a close-up of Bulma's assets while Puar sat up herself. Goku managed to wake up which led to Bulma telling him, Yamcha and Puar the bad news though the cat pointed out that the cell door was open. Oolong began to wake up by this time too.

So with their literal opening then charged right out, meeting Pilaf and his goons. They stopped in the middle of the hallway where Bulma asked Pilaf if he made his wish. Pilaf slowly shook his head letting them all sigh in relief. Goku pointed at Pilaf, Shu, and, Mai, and ordered them to give back the balls but they did their own thing and began to run away. Though they immediately lost them right after since they came to a room with 5 passages that could've led anywhere. Before they knew it a wall came up from behind them and slammed them all into a large pinball room, making them pieces in the game along with the giant pinball itself. Having enough of the game they all tried to run away through some tunnels but the ball just kept following them no matter what they did or where they went. Even when they came up to another room they were cornered by another pinball leading them to a dead-end…which happened to be the same trapped room they started in. Pilaf came back on the monitor and bragged about how he was going to make his wish and then he'd come get them out of there once he ruled the world before turning it off. Yamcha had an idea and told Goku that he had to use the 'Kamehameha Wave' as their last shot to bust them out of there to which the monkey boy agreed.

Goku executed the technique but he only managed to create a little hole. Yamcha figured it was enough and it allowed him to see that they were getting ready to summon the dragon, so he told Puar to turn into a bat and steal one of the Dragon Balls. She nodded and in a puff of smoke grew formed bat wings and flew out of the hole to the outside. Bulma told Oolong to go and help her or else she'd say the magic words to make him obey her, making him grumble and in a puff of smoke follow after her. However they weren't fast enough as Pilaf called for the dragon. The sky darkened and the balls glowed brightly before a massive burst of light filled the sky. The light coiled around itself and burst through the clouds and a figure began to form and stretch. The light shone for a few minutes before a massive Asian Dragon descended from the night sky, towering over Pilaf's castle by a large margin. Its eyes were blood-red with brown horns atop its head. Long whiskers flowed from its snout with green scaled covering its back and tan ones covering the belly. Two short arms were where the torso normally would be while two short feet were at the very end of its long body. Oolong and Puar turned back to normal and landed on the ground, holding the other close in fright at the massive magical creature.

This was the Eternal Dragon, Shenron.

"Who has summoned me?" Shenron's deep voice echoed across the landscape. Pilaf swallowed a lump in his throat at the imposing creature before him.

"T-that would b-be me. I…did." He said in a meek voice. His legs and arms shook from both anticipation and nervousness. Shenron gazed down to him.

"Tell me your wish but beware, for it will come true." He warned. Pilaf suddenly got cold feet. The words were there in his brain but he just couldn't get them to come out of his mouth. He opened it to try and make his wish but he closed it right after. He hated that he was hesitating at the critical moment. The product for his dreams were literally staring him right in the face but his confidence was lost to him. Shenron narrowed his eyes and growled at his summoner for taking so long to make his wish. "Speak!" He demanded, making Pilaf shrink back a bit.

Oolong swallowed a lump in his own throat as he stared at Shenron, hoping that the only thing on his mind was wish granting. "I hope he ate already." Puar couldn't help but nod her head in agreement. Shenron growled in impatience as he waited for Pilaf to get on with it. He didn't get what was so hard about saying 'I wish' and then whatever the hell he granted he'd be on his way back home. This was honestly the longest someone had ever kept him outside of his realm and he didn't like it at all.

"O-okay. I'm r-ready…" Pilaf said though he definitely didn't sound ready, "uh…I wish for a…a…" his voice dropped as he shut back up. If the onlookers on the ground weren't paralyzed by fear they would've seen the twitch in Shenron's eye. What in the world is this!? This little imp is most definitely way in over his head here. The magical dragon could literally see him shaking in his tiny shoes.

'By Kami's name…'he thought before he growled and glared heatedly at Pilaf, "you try my patience!"

"I'm sorry," Pilaf apologized, "It's just that it's – I've never done this before!"

Shenron blinked once. He leaned forward a bit and bared his teeth. "Make a wish…now!"

Pilaf made a squeak. "Y-yes! Of course, my wish! How silly of me. My wish…!"

At that moment Oolong growled to himself, looked up and Shenron and charged right over to where Pilaf was. "I'm a coward; I don't wanna be the hero! I don't wanna saved the day! This stinks…and these boxers are chaffing!" Though in his mind, this wasn't going to be him saving the day even if it seemed like that to others. This was just him going out of his way to get his wish before Pilaf gets to make his own. Even Oolong had to agree with the giant dragon that Pilaf was taking too damn long with saying 6 words. 'I wish to rule the world' really wasn't that hard, though it looked like Pilaf was getting some courage to speak.

"I would like to have supreme…" he stopped himself as he tried to find a better way to word it, "I would like to have…the world-" It was that moment Oolong tackled Pilaf to the ground and forced him to stop speaking entirely. He looked up to the dragon and raised his fist.

"Alright, you giant lizard, listen up! I'd like to have the-"just as he was about to wish for the most comfortable underwear in the entire world, a spark flashed through his brain making him stop for a second. Goku's words from when they were in the RV came rushing back to him.

"Well…it's just I thought you would want to wish for something that you could actually use. Like what about your transforming powers?"

"Well you said that your powers only work for 5 minutes for one thing, so you can't really get a lot of use out of them a lot. And even though you can turn into big things like those monsters, you're still kinda weak."

"I think a better wish for you would be if you could become a better shape shifter, then you might be able to transform into something girls would like. Or make yourself super strong so you won't be afraid of stuff anymore."

Oolong blinked at the possibilities of having the best shape-shifting ability to ever exist. He could get girls? Strength? HEIGHT!? He grinned at the many kinds of implications! His grin got even bigger as he raised both fists to the air. "I WISH TO BE THE BEST DAMN SHAPE-SHIFTER IN THE WHOLE STINKIN' WORLD! TO TURN INTO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING WITH NO TIME LIMITS OR DRAWBACKS!"

Shenron's eyes began to glow as Oolong's heart kept racing. Soon he found himself trapped in a bubble of red light as he was lifted up into the air. "WAAHH! H-HEY! WHAT'S GOIN' ON HERE!?" He flailed his limbs around as he lifted higher and higher into the sky until he was eye-level with Shenron, who kept working his magic. Just then, a multitude of endless golden lights began to appear from the space outside of Oolong and took on a multitude of shapes. People, creatures, objects, elements, beings that didn't look as if they belonged on Earth at all, there was no way to tell them all. And without a warning they all blasted forth and slammed into Oolong from all directions, making him yell loudly at the overload of spiritual energy he was being filled with. His body felt like it was on fire and in any minute he was going to explode. Everyone else looked on as they saw the pig obtaining so much power before them while Pilaf's dreams were crushing with each passing second. A spot of hope he had in his chest was there in case the dragon granted multiple wishes. Finally, the endless barrage of light stopped and Oolong's form was still. His eyes were dull as he lay backwards in the bubble, which slowly descended and laid him on the ground. He groaned as he blinked his eyes, is vision blurry as he looked up at Shenron.

He raised a hand over his face and looked at it for a few seconds before curling it into a fist. He saw a golden mist cover it making him grin and chuckle to himself and he slowly climbed up to his feet. The clouds began to part since Shenron had done his job while Pilaf fumed. "You dolt!" He called Oolong as Shenron began to glow gold himself before he vanished. The Dragon Balls all shot into the air and shot off in 7 separate locations while Oolong chuckled to himself at getting his wish. Maybe it wasn't what he originally intended but he most definitely would want to learn what his powers were capable of now.

"Seize him! I want that pig for dinner!" Pilaf demanded, making Oolong turn and run. Okay, maybe not now now but if he lived through the rest of tonight, he'd be sure to experiment. He moved quickly and Shu and Mai gained while he grabbed Puar along the way and pulled her along to cover. Pilaf looked up and saw Goku, Yamcha and Bulma broke out of the trap. "Ugh!? THE OTHERS HAVE ESCAPED TOO!? I WANT THEM ALL! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"

His two henchmen brandished their specific weapons. Shu with his sword and Mai with her sub-machine gun as she shot at the three escapees, who had to pull Goku along because he was too hungry to move from busting them out with multiple 'Kamehameha's'. Shu had a trick up his sleeve as he brought a hand up to his mouth and whistled a few times, alerting his dog police to chase the five down. Even though they were separated initially they managed to meet back up inside the castle, with the three falling on the two animals companions where were transformed as birds to try and escape. Yamcha was the only one to fight against the dogs since Goku was too hungry to do anything and it didn't help that Shu and Mai jumped in from nowhere and held his friends hostage. Pilaf was there too and began to give a triumphant laugh at having the ones who foiled his plans cornered. Next thing they know, they were put into yet another sealed room, except much larger with a transparent ceiling to view the night sky. The walls were a strange metal that was much stronger than stone and steel and the ceiling was made of tempered glass. It proved very durable to stop Goku's headbutt, that's for sure.

Yamcha planned that they'd all have to find those Dragon Balls once they busted out of their cage but Bulma said there wouldn't be any for a full year. That surprised the other four as Yamcha and Oolong asked what she meant by that. She explained how it was in the legend that once the wish on the balls were made and they scatter, they become inert for a full year making them look like round stones. Yamcha and Bulma were both depressed at not being able to make their wishes until the balls were magical again but Pilaf's voice came onto the intercom and said they would die by tomorrow. The point of that room was to absorb the sun's rays and roast them alive and that they better get as comfortable and they could until tomorrow.

Once he was done speaking everyone began to panic about their imminent doom and that they all still had so much to live for. Well, all except Goku since even in a situation like this the hunger he felt was already killing him. Though even with these terrible feelings that just made Yamcha and Goku want to bust out even more. Yamcha began to punch the walls with all of his might as Goku summoned the last bits of energy he had to try and sustain a 'Kamehameha' though both weren't making any progress. Pilaf just bragged that they couldn't break free and left them to their fate. Yamcha dropped to his knees while Goku passed out momentarily but managed to wake back up. He sat against the wall opposite from Bulma, Oolong, and Yamcha as Oolong and Bulma began to bicker once again.

"How about you try and do something productive again!? Whatever happened to you out there, use it to bust us out of this place!" Bulma yelled while Oolong raised a fist to her.

"Are you kidding me!? For one, I already saved the stinkin' world, that's enough proactive-ness in my book! For two, I don't even know how to bust us out of here! I made my wish but I sure as hell didn't get in any practice with the results!"

"Well I want you to save us!" Bulma crossed her arms and glared, "Honestly, it's like every time you manage to gain a tiny ounce of my respect you lose pounds of it all over again."

Oolong stood up and stomped his foot. "I don't give a damn about impressing a spoiled girl like you! I only ever have and ever will look out for number one! This pig! Right here! Nobody else!" Bulma fumed as she nearly steamed out of her ears at how insufferable he was being. She was so tempted to make him drops bombs in his pants and teach him a lesson but then they'd be trapped in here with the smell and she honestly didn't want to personally see it either. If this cage wasn't an issue she's have called piggy 100 times if she could. Puar made a noise making them look up to her floating at the top of the cage. Oolong looked to her. "Hey, Puar, what are you doing up there?"

"Nothing, just watching the moon." She said with a smile.

Oolong placed his hands on his hips. "How can you watch the moon? Aren't you worried about tomorrow?"

"Yeah, but that's why I'm looking at the moon, it's soothing. Look how full it is tonight. Doesn't it make you feel all warm and fuzzy?"

He sneered a bit. "I'm a pig! I am warm and fuzzy!"

Goku blinked a few times as he glanced in Puar's direction when she mentioned the full moon but quickly brought his gaze back to the ground in front of him. Oh, no. Out of all days it had to come out, why on Earth did it have to be this one? He didn't want any of his friends to find out about his more bestial side of him though he knew that it was going to have to happen someday. If they really had no other way out of here…then…

"Hey, Goku?" Bulma called to him, making him look at her. "Doesn't this mean that giant ape monster you have back home is out tonight?"

Goku blinked and sunk a little bit more down the wall. "Uh…well-"

Yamcha turned to Bulma and raised an eyebrow. "Huh? Ape monster? What are you talking about this time Bulma?" Oolong and Puar turned to her in question too, wanting to hear what she had to say. Bulma held up a finger. "Okay, listen up. Back in the mountains where Goku and his grandfather live, a giant ape monster comes out at every single full moon and causes a massive ruckus. It's a pretty scary thing."

Puar tilted her head in confusion. "An ape monster?"

"What did it look like?" Oolong asked. Hey, the guy just saw a giant magical dragon and made of wish off of it. He saw an old man beef up like he was on steroids and blow a mountain to pieces and Goku rides a flying cloud. Compared to all of that, every other thing in the world that anyone says can be possible can most definitely be possible. Even something like an ape monster. Bulma shrugged her shoulders.

"That's the thing. I have no idea what it looks like…but when I was looking for the Four-Star Ball, I came up to their mountain on the day before the full moon came out when it was night. I could hear it off in the distance but it was roaring so loudly that it made me too scared to fall asleep. I could even feel the ground shake as it stomped around all night and even heard things getting destroyed," she held herself and shivered, "that was the first time I've ever been scared for my life. I mean I've never once stayed up all night! I lost a good amount of beauty sleep because of that and was worried that it would stomp its way over and crush me or something! I know for a fact that I'm not ever going to go back up there at night!"

Yamcha leaned back a bit at her story. "C-crush you underfoot!? How tall is this thing supposed to be?"

"Uh…" Goku said as he looked to the four of them, "from what grandpa says, it's around 50 to 100 feet tall. He can't really give an exact number he told me."

"You're telling us that you and your grandpa live on a mountain where a 100 foot ape-monster comes out every full moon and you're OKAY with that!? And he's seen it in person!? Goku, that's just beyond nuts! What if it stomped either of you to paste!?" Oolong exclaimed but Goku just shook his head.

"It won't ever do that. I mean the Great Ape isn't even on Mt. Paozu tonight anyway." He said. The others looked at him questioningly.

Bulma blinked. "What? And how would you know something like that?"

Goku got to his feet and moved his tail around a little bit. He stretched his arms up as he figured that he had to do what he had to do. "I know because it's been on the move ever since me and Bulma left. And it's, uh….kinda been….following….us? Well…kinda?"

The other four were put on high alert as they slowly huddled together. Their eyes were widening as Goku spoke about the monster, the Great Ape, having been on the move ever since he and Bulma left the mountains and it got them to thinking if it was going to come after them for some reason. "B-but why would it follow us!? How could it follow us!? There is no way we'd never notice something that large!" She saw Goku's eyes glance away as he rubbed his head. She pointed a finger to him. "Goku…don't tell me that you're the reason why!?"

"It's, uh….complicated. But…you're kinda right. I am the reason." He said, using one of the few big words he knew.

"I'm getting a little nervous." Yamcha said as he and the others looked around above them, trying to see if they'll find any signs of the ape, though when they didn't their eyes fell on Goku, who was avoiding looking at the moon. They slowly backed away from him as they didn't know what to expect.

"M-maybe it's b-because of his tail. The Great Ape might t-think Goku's family." Puar tried to explain, not knowing how close but far she was at figuring it out.

"Goku…old buddy….is there something you ain't telling us?" Oolong said as some sweat dripped from his head down his face, which he wiped away.

Goku just looked to them and said "Well…I guess if there's no way out of this place…" he took off his Power Pole and his wrist bands before he began to remove every article of his clothing.

Bulma just blinked a few times not understanding what in the heck was going on through Goku's head at the moment. She growled and yelled "Hey! What's the big idea you freaking pervert!? Put your clothes back on!"

Dropping his pants, making him stand there in the nude he looked to her. "But Bulma, I need to take my clothes off or else they're gonna get all ripped up and everything."

"Uhhh….ripped up?" Yamcha repeated not at all liking where this was going. "Goku…from the way you're talking you're…you're making it sound like…like you're the…the…" The others caught on to what he was trying to say as they moved to a corner. Bulma couldn't at all believe that to be true…but it was definitely a scary thought. Was Goku trying to say that he was the monster!? But…but how!? That isn't possible! Or...was it? Goku took a deep breath and turned his head to glance at the full moon for a few seconds. A few seconds was all he needed before he turned back to his friends with a serious look. "Get ready to start running fast. I don't want to accidentally hurt you guys."

The four were a stuttering mess from hearing the command. No, there was no mistaking it. With the way Goku was speaking…and the small order he just gave then…then that means- they jerked back when Goku gasped and his eyes turned red. They heard his heart beat pick up and get louder. His body jerked multiple times as the boy brought his arms out to the side and gave a savage grin at feeling the familiar rush of adrenaline surge through his body.

"GOKU, STOP IT! THIS ISN'T FUNNY!" Bulma shrieked but Yamcha shook his head.

"I DON'T THINK HE'S JOKING!"

Goku's torso began to develop more muscle and expand. His pupils left his eyes, leaving them entirely white as his hair stood on end. His body began to grow and grow until he was displaying nothing but pure muscle as he slowly transformed. The others gave loud screams of terror as Goku began a deep rumbling laugh as he felt himself change. His teeth grew into large fangs; his nails grew into claws; his big toes moved to the side of his feet, while dark brown hair grew all over his body. The parts that weren't covered in hair just turned brown as he grew sideburns as his face elongated into a muzzle. His eyes changed into a deep red, just like Shenron's as he began to take a monstrous ape-like visage. His ears became pointed as he continued to grow and grow and kept growing. He opened his mouth to give a low roar as he pushed against the glass ceiling, cracking it until he burst through it and that section of the castle. Once his transformation was complete he raised his arms into the air and gave a mighty roar towards the full moon before he began to beat on his chest. The euphoria of the transformation and the power of the moon fueled his alien cells with power that he can only experience a few times in a month. This time was no different compared to every other one as his roar turned into a deep rumbling laughed.

"ROOOAAARRRR! RAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! ALRIGHT! I MISSED THIS FEELING SO MUCH! (Phew) Now to get to work!" He looked down to his friends who were cowering in fear. He grinned; showing off his massive cleaver teeth with didn't make them feel all that relieved. "Don't worry guys. I'm not gonna hurt you. But you do need to get going. Take my stuff and start moving. As for me…I've got a castle to start wrecking! Hahahaha!" He stepped out of the cage that previously held him and stomped onto another area. Looking at the four towers at the corners of the castle, he slammed his fist into one while knocking his tail into the one opposite of it. He brought up his right leg which tore through 1/4th of the castle by itself before kicking out the 3rd tower and slamming his left elbow into the last one. He glanced behind him to see his friends making their way out of the cage and to safety, with Yamcha holding Goku's clothes and Power Pole. Seeing them leave gave him enough incentive to get a bit more destructive. Sniffing the air, he caught the scents of the three goons whose been messing with him and his friends. They were in a dome-shaped building which was really close to him. He wrapped his arms around it and crushed the roof to pieces, making the woman and dog scream bloody murder. He chuckled at their faces, his instincts making him a bit more of a savage. They got Pilaf up who also screamed for his life. "Hey guys, remember me? Now I get to play with the three of you. Let's see how you like it."

"IT CAN TALK!?" They all screamed out loud as Goku slammed a punch in a random part of the ceiling, as to frighten them. Pilaf ordered his minions to try and kill him but all they did was throw things they found lying in their bed, while Pilaf resorted to using childish scare tactics by making noises. Goku snorted and blinked and he bore down on them making the three sweat profusely.

"Wow…you three…kinda suck."

He then slammed a punch into their floor, making them scream and fall over to the side before stomping on the ground and sending it crashing down but the three made it out of their room and down the steps. Not seeing where they went, Goku just proceeded to laugh as he smashed away, having the time of his life. He felt invincible! He could do anything! He had the power to do whatever he wanted and he was definitely going to use it! He gave a roar of elation as he caved in more of the castle and beat his chest in triumph, feeling on top of the world. His sensitive ears picked up the sound of a motor, which made him turn his head and see a plane take off. No doubt, the three stooges were inside of it. "Huh. They actually got away." He looked down to see his friends were busy climbing through some more rubble, which made him sweatdrop. Whoops. Seems he caused a bit more for them than assistance. He stomped over and used his tail to help clear a path for them. "Uhh…sorry guys. I kinda can't help but go wild when I turn into a Great Ape. It's a big rush. Seriously, get away from the castle so I can finish wrecking. And I'm sure gonna wreck it."

"That means two things." Oolong said in reflex and Bulma hit him on the head.

"THIS IS NO TIME FOR YOUR PERVERTED ANTICS! AAAGGHHHH!" She yelled as Goku moved to a part of the castle away from them and went to breaking it apart. She had accidently hurt her ankle from running so Yamcha was forced to grab her, Oolong and Puar and run them all the way out of the castle to a safe distance away. Seeing his friends get to safety, Goku smirked to himself. 'Alright. Now that they're far away I can take this place out all at once with an energy blast.'He only managed to raise one foot to step out of the castle until he heard the plane, Pilaf and his goons were on. They turned around and began to fire their weapons at him, trying to take him down for good. Goku covered his face as a barrage of bullets pelted him from the front and the back. He tried to swat them out of the sky but they kept diving in and out while pelting in with more and more ammunition. "Hey! Ouch! Knock it off! Argh! That's annoying! Ow! Will you just get outta here before I get really mad!?" What he was met with as a response was a missile sailing towards him and blasting him in the chest which knocked him down onto his back.

Bulma, Yamcha, Oolong, and Puar looked on in shock as they couldn't tell if Goku was killed in that blast or not. Pilaf, Shu and Mai flew down from their plane and walked up next to Goku with Pilaf bragging about how he took him down. But he complained and yelled in anger that Goku destroyed his castle to nothing when it took Pilaf 10 years to build it from the ground up. He kicked Goku's massive hand before jumping on his tail and venting his frustration but Goku's hand twitched. He opened his eyes which alerted Shu and Mai that he wasn't dead and it was when he took a deep breath did Pilaf finally stop and slowly turn around. Goku grit his fangs in irritation that even in his transformed state, those three were causing nothing but problems for him.

"You three….are really…really…" he sat up and growled at them, which made them huddle together in fear, "GETTING ON MY LAST NERVE! RRROOOAAARRR!" They screamed their pants off and high-tailed it back to their plane and took off into the air. Goku drew his legs up to his upper body and pushed his hands on the ground near his head. With a quick kangaroo-kick back up to his feet his instincts got the better of him as he stared at the retreating plane. "OH, NO, YOU DON'T! NOT THIS TIME!" He opened his mouth as he channeled his ki, letting the red energy gathered and swirl into his maw before he fire his signature 'Mouth Blast' at the retreating plane. The red light from the energy beam lit up the sky for a few seconds as it crashed into the edge of the plane, blowing part of it to pieces. Pilaf, Shu and Mai were still alive, but because of the damage, they crashed right into the ground and the plane went up in an explosion. Goku took a deep breath and leaped out of the castle onto the bedrock of the badlands as he put some distance between him and the castle. "Geez. Why don't bad-guys ever know when to just give up? They better have learned their lesson." When he walked a certain distance away he turned to the ruined remains of the castle, intent on making sure that nothing at all was left of it. He opened his mouth to charge his ki before letting loose with another 'Mouth Blast' spitting a red energy beam at the rubble as it all went up in a giant crimson explosion. Goku's friends held onto some stray stones as to not get blown away from the force, even from as far as they were. Soon, the light vanished and nothing was in place of Pilaf's castle. Not even the steps. Just a large crater to indicate that something was there but no longer will be.

"Well…that's all finally over and done with. Now…where did the others go?" He turned around and moved his head to the left and right when he saw his friends huddled behind a wall. They all looked to him nervously as he slowly made his way over to them. It took his friends everything they had to not run and the only reason they didn't was because Goku still seemed to be in control of himself for the most part. Though they sure as hell didn't know what to think of the kid spitting laser beams that could rival Roshi's 'Kamehameha'. "Alright guys. I'm finished. We can get going now, right? Oh, and we need to find something to eat because I'm still hungry."

They just kept staring at him. Yamcha, Oolong and Puar couldn't find any words as they stared at the massive gorilla face of their friend. A face that adopted a confused look and had no right to be cute in anyway. He plopped down to his rear too seem less intimidating though it didn't really do much. "Uh…guys? What's wrong? I don't look that scary, do I?

Oolong was the first one to break the awkward silence as he gave a nervous laugh to his friend. "Y-yeah. You kinda…had us all fooled quite a few times there Goku. If you weren't talking and everything…we would've guessed you'd be an out of control monster."

Yamcha found the air the breath and took a deep breath as he joined in with the pig. "Okay…so this is…you'll tell us about how this is a thing with you….r-right?"

"Uhh…well…"

Before he could say anything he looked to Bulma to see her head was down. Her eyes were shadowed under her hair as her arms started shaking. "Goku….you….you…." She raised her head and showed her face full of anger, which made the giant ape jerk his head back a little. "YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO, MR. KING KONG!"

Just so you all know, I have been working on this shit for MONTHS! This ONE chapter….for MONTHS! I mean when I say I can't write worth shit when I'm not writing something interesting. And what was this chapter again? A bunch of those miscellaneous episodes before Pilaf that nobody gave a fuck about. I wished that I knew how to perfectly summarize episodes or things like that without having to talk about the WHOLE episode but I don't know how, so this is the best I could do. Though as you all can see, I do leave out parts that I don't feel are really necessary. Though I powered through all the bullshit because I, for one, wanted to get Oolong that wish and then have Goku go ape-shit and blow that castle the fuck up. Now his new friends know of his major secret. Oh, and WHY did I have Oolong wish for something so outrageous? Well, think about it. In nearly every story ever shown or told, it's not ONLY the main focus of the story that get's shown off. The main focus of this one is the Great Ape action. That's what you guys are here for. But what happens when I can't squeeze in enough of that or want to focus on other characters?

They don't have anything to contribute because they won't be Saiyan. So I need to find way to keep them relevant in some ways and Oolong is the first one to be one of my support focus characters! Yes, I plan for most, if not all, of the backgrounds guys to put in their own kinds of work and keep up in DB and DBZ in their own ways. So the humans won't get left behind either, though Krillen of course will get most of the limelight. But don't expect that stuff to go down until DBZ rolls around. For now, I think you all can suffice with only Oolong for the moment since I have plans for this pig.

Anyway, I got big news. After talking it over with mellra I decided that for most of my stories, I'm going to begin to updates them three times in a row. Yes, I kid you not. Three times…in a row. I thought I'd do what I did to "World's Apart" and just apply it to where it mattered most; on some of these stories of mine. And wouldn't you guys know it? This is the first story that is going to follow this new rule, meaning that after this is posted then I'm going to get to writing the next chapter right after, and then the one after the next.

Anyway, this shit has been long over-due and I'm glad that I finally got this damn thing out, especially since I'm going to be working starting next week. But remember, as long as I'm not writing anything boring then my writing just goes faster. You'll be able to tell by me updating.

You guys have questions? Leave them in reviews and they'll be answered in the next chapter. I've been writing for HOURS on end and it's going on 4:00 AM. I'm tired and when I'm tired I make more errors than usual in my writing. So when I'm up to it, I'm gonna be making as many edits as I can find.

Rest in Pieces, my bitches!
