Chapter 3:The ox king's mountain of flame!
Lapis sighed, unused to this heat, not to mention how often the pig tried to get a peek up her dress, this was getting tiresome.
"Are we there yet?" Lapis grumbled.
"Not for another two or three days." Bulma, Equally exhausted mumbled back at Lapis.
"You know guys, I can fly." Goku points out. "I can just take the radar are get the dragon balls without you guys being in danger."
This seemed to set Bulma off"And let you have the wish all to yourself?! No way!" She shouted at her young friend.
"And what is it exactly You're wishing for?" asks Lapis, she was actually pretty curious.
"Well..." Bulma giggles, blushing "I want a prince in shining armor to swipe me off my feet, I want the perfect boyfriend!" Bulma practically regained every ounce of energy she had lost.
"That's it? Some guy is all you want? There are plenty of men, some of which aren't half bad looking, Like that Yamcha guy that Goku was fighting." Lapis droned at the other girl.
"Oh? What do you have a crush on him or something?" Bulma turned to Lapis, with a grin.
Lapis snorted in response "Of course not." She replied casually "I mean... There are a couple people I have some interest in, "
Bulma took interest"Like who?"
Lapis scratched her chin "Well... first I guess, is a boy. Maybe around Goku's height, Someone who took me prisoner for a while, she's... strange, and I guess that's it?" Lapis replied, with only a loose collection of the definition of 'boy' given what few interactions she's had with humans.
"So, you're into girls too?" Bulma asked, that was the very first thing to come to mind. "N-not that there's anything wrong with that" she wasn't aiming to offend Lapis.
"Well, I guess I was raised to not really know a difference." Lapis gave a little chuckle "Besides, a good person is a good person, what does being a 'boy' or 'girl' have to do with it?"
"Uh, point taken I guess, to each their own." Bulma went silent, looking at the radar,as Oolong was drooling over the thought of Lapis kissing another girl.
And so, they kept traveling, unknowing of the person tailing them .
-Days later-
The group finally arrived to the mountain of fire, and thanks to Oolong's warnings , knew to sneak about as to find the ball. However, due to Goku's loudness, they were caught anyway, Just as Bulma had found the dragon ball.
Each step taken by the angry giant causing the ground to shake.
"Who dares trespass on my land?" Said the great king of the mountain, voice booming, Even the usually not so easily phased Lapis was somewhat intimidated.
Goku however , seemed excited, stepping into the open to face the Giant with a large grin.
"Hey mister, are you the axe king?" Goku asked, accidentally messing the name up.
"Uh, it's Ox king, and who's asking?" The huge man seemed to calm down at the incredibly cheery way the little boy asked the question.
"My name is Goku, do you wanna figh-" he was cut off by the Ox king
"Goku? Oh! You must be Gohan's little grandson!" The Hulking man said, just as cheerfully as when Goku asked his question.
"Uh, yeah, it's nice to meet you! Do you want to fight?" Asked The spiky haired boy with enthusiasm, as everyone else looked with abject horror.
The Ox king started to think for a moment "Well, I guess a sparring match couldn't hurt, but I'm in kind of a pickle, see I entrusted an old witch to cast a spell that would protect my treasure hoard, next thing I know My castle and land is burning up! I sent my daughter out to find my martial arts master, who has a fan that could put the fire out. But I realized too late that she's only ten and too young to go on such a dangerous mission, even with the equipment I gave her. Now you don't have to get master Roshi, I just want my Chichi back." Bulma and Lapis step out from hiding upon realizing this supposedly ferocious Ox king was fairly reasonable.
"Well! You're in luck mister Ox king!" Bulma Called so the some twenty foot tall man could hear from his height,"Goku here can find her easy! Can't you Goku?"
Goku nods. "Sure! , I just have to borrow something from my big brother , if that's okay."
This got the old man concerned "Won't that take some time? I want Chichi back soon as possible."
Lapis stepped in. "Well, maybe if we knew what she looked like, we could find her easier?"
"We?" Bulma cut in , upset that Lapis suggested she help. "Well, unlike Goku , I-I mean, we, can't fly"
"Fly?" Asked the Ox king, only to be ignored completely
Lapis grunted "Whatever, My point still stands, we need to know what this Chichi girl looks like"
Bulma sighed and turned to the Large concerned father." Hey, I don't want to be mean or anything, but we came here looking for something, if we get your daughter back can we have it? It's fine if you say no" Bulma shouts.
Ox king starts to think again "No, But if you can put this fire out I'm more than happy to give you anything you want."
Bulma sighed, it couldn't be helped, they had to see the old pervert yet again.
She turned to Goku. "You know what to do right kid?" The boy nods, as Ox king produces a photo of his actually very cute offspring.
Goku Takes the pictures and flies off.
Yamcha looked on in fear, Thinking back to something that happened earlier on in the day
He knocked out the ox king's daughter...If the big brute found out. He would be a goner.
Yamcha hurried to his hover bike, going to look for the child he had given a concussion to.
A/N:i knoiw this chapter wasn't too great. I'm just going to sort of skim through the dragon ball ark since the Cgs and others don't have much of an impact yet.
