"Bulma..." Goku whined.
"What is it now?" Bulma asked now starting to get a little annoyed... Okay she has been annoyed by Goku and his complaining for the past ten minutes.
"How far is it away from the town? I'm starving..." Goku complained.
"We're nearly there okay? Just shut up, sit back, and don't complain." Bulma ordered.
Goku let out a small tired sigh. He wasn't used to anyone being this frustrating before. His grandpa was always nice to him and always saw the funny side of things.
'Maybe it's just girls...' He thought as he stared at his four star dragon ball.
'Can you really grant wishes grandpa?' Goku asked himself in his thoughts. 'Well I always felt great safe and sound with you, so I guess it makes sense.'

~Dragon Ball The Grand Adventures~
It seemed as though the road for Goku and Bulma never ended. Nothing special was happening. But Goku had a strange feeling like he was being watched or something.
"Bulma?" He asked nervously.
"What is it now? If it's another 'are we there yet?' question then I am going to smack you over the head with a sledgehammer." Bulma warned.
"Sorry, I'm just wondering if you feel like somebody's watching us. It's either that or you have eyes on the back of your head." Goku wondered.
"Now that I think about it, it does seem like someone is around. Maybe it's a man who just can't stay away." Bulma said dreamingly.
Goku cocked his head to the side in deep confusion. Not once in his life has Goku ever seen a girl before, but if all girls are like this one, then his brain is going to hurt too much from all of the thinking.
Just then the dragon radar started to beep even faster than before.
"We're getting really close now Goku." Bulma said quietly, but those words didn't slip away from Goku's ears as he shot up and started giggling.
"Hurray!" He yelled out in happiness. "Hey Bulma, when we get there, can we get something to eat?" He asked politely.
"Fine if it'll shut you up." Bulma muttered.
The two finally made it to the small village that they have been trying to get to for a while now, and they both hopped off of the motorcycle and Bulma opened up a pad and clicked a button, making the motorcycle turn back into the capsule that it originally was.
"Alright let's go." Bulma said as the two walked into the village.
Yamcha was nearby up in a tree, staring dreamingly at Bulma. Never had he seen someone like that before. It took a small while for him to snap out of his trance as he shook his head frantically.
He had to remember his goal – To get the dragon balls and make sure that those two doesn't get in his way from saving his best and only friend Puar.
He carefully and slowly followed the two into the village.
"Man, it feels like a ghost town here." Yamcha accidently said aloud. He quickly covered his mouth and quietly hid away from Goku and Bulma's sights.
And it wasn't just Yamcha feeling the creeps. Goku and Bulma felt a little scared too. Well mostly Bulma, Goku was just too concerned about his stomach and food to be worrying about something as little and unimportant as a scary ghost town.
"Where is everyone? It's just like they all left for no reason and never decided to come back?" Bulma questioned no one in particular. Talking to Goku is like talking to a brick wall.
"Bulma, where's the food at?" Goku asked as his stomach rumbled a little bit.
"Quit worrying about food Goku. In case you haven't noticed, we are trying to find a dragon ball here." Bulma said as she checked the radar. "That's strange. The radar says that it should be around here somewhere." Bulma said confused.
Goku's ears perked up a little bit. He quickly turned around and looked around the village to see if he could hear even the slightest sound.
"Goku, what's wrong?" Bulma asked.
"I thought that I just heard something. Or someone. This village isn't abandoned Bulma, people are just hiding from us." Goku explained.
"Okay then genius, tell me this then. Why would they be hiding from us in the first place?" Bulma said as she was starting to get slightly jealous. How she couldn't figure that out and this pea brain kid could.
"I don't know. Maybe they're all scared?" Goku suggested.
Bulma was lost in deep thought and before she knew it, Goku had wondered off to another house and put his ear up to the door.
"Hey Bulma! I think someone's in this house!" Goku shouted causing Bulma to lose her train of thought.
She walked over to the house that Goku was standing next to and smiled.
"Good work kid. Now just knock on the door very gently." Bulma explained.
Goku blinked confused. Gently? He decided to give it a try. He tapped on the door just once and the door fell down.
"That's either a very strong fist or a very weak door." Bulma said jokingly.
"Hello? Anyone in here?" Goku called out in the house causing an echo to bounce around.
"Let's just face it Goku, no one's in here. Let's just go and search for the dragon ball and get out of here. It's too creepy for me!" Bulma explained.
Just then a man with a gun came out of the shadows and aimed it at Goku's head.
"This is for all of the girls in the village Oolong!" The man shouted out as he pulled the trigger and bullets shot out at Goku's head. Goku fell backwards and Bulma let out a scream of fear.
Yamcha watched the horrific sight too. He let out a small gasp.
"He-He actually shot him. No one can survive that." He stammered.
But then the most amazing thing happened – Goku actually stood up.
"What the-?" Yamcha asked himself.
"Ouch! Hey that really hurt!" Goku yelled out loud.
The man just dropped his gun and fell to his knees sobbing.
"I'm sorry Oolong just please don't take my daughter away from me. She's the only thing I have left." He sobbed.
Goku gave him a strange and obviously confused look. As a little black haired girl also came out from the shadows and started to cling onto her father.
"Why would I want your daughter? And who is this Oolong that you keep on mentioning?" Goku asked calmly.
"You mean... You mean that you aren't Oolong?" The man asked.
Goku shook his head.
"Nope, I have never heard of him before." Goku explained.
"Oh, I am so sorry for shooting you." The man apologized.
"Say, who is this Oolong anyway? Is he really that bad of a person that you thought that Goku was him?" Bulma asked.
"Sorry." The man apologized again. "You see Oolong has the ability to change into any shape he likes. No one knows his true identity, only that he is a cruel violent beast. He comes to this village often so then he can kidnap one of the girls that live here. He has already kidnapped three. And we have no idea where his hideout is so we can't go and get our girls back. And even if we did, he would just crush us." The man explained. "And that is why I accidently mistaken you for Oolong."
Goku stared at the man blankly.
"Uh... Sir Can you repeat that please?" He asked making everyone fall down. Including Yamcha.
Goku looked around at the three people that just fell down. "What's wrong?" He asked.
"You are a strange kid Goku." Bulma said now getting back up.
"Hey I've got an idea." Goku said happily. "I'll fight this Oolong and get the girls back." Goku said proudly.
At the still opened door, everyone had been so busy talking that they all haven't noticed all of the people standing there watching.
"You can't be serious child." An elderly woman said as she walked in holding a familiar orange ball.
"Oolong can break you. We can't allow a child to do such recklessness." She continued.
"Wait, hold on." Bulma interrupted.
"The kid here may be small, but he can surely pack a big punch. When I first met him, he survived getting hit by a car and slamming into a tree. And now he just survived five bullets to the head, and all he got was a small headache." Bulma explained.
"I for one think that he can do it."
"I see and would you want anything in return for the bravery?" The woman asked.
"No." "Yes!" Goku and Bulma said together.
The two stood there just staring blankly at each other.
"But Bulma, I don't want anything." Goku said sadly.
Bulma ignored his words and faced the elderly woman again.
"Would it be okay if we could have the orange ball that you are holding?" Bulma asked politely as she pointed at the beautiful orb.
The elderly woman looked at the orb. "You mean this? Well of course. Once you do defeat Oolong." The woman answered.
"Alright, then we better devise a plan." Bulma said as she was thinking hard
"Oolong? Where have I heard that name before?" Yamcha asked himself. "I think I remember Puar telling me about someone with that... Oh this is just too good." Yamcha smiled.
And so Bulma's plan was working out for everyone... Everyone except for Goku that is...
"Bulma this makes me feel funny..." Goku complained.
"Is there one thing that you don't complain about?" Bulma asked annoyed. "Anyway, you only need to dress up like this until Oolong takes you to where he lives. Once you find the girls, kick his butt, take the girls, and get the heck out of there. Understand?" Bulma explained.
"Uh... Sure... Can you repeat the first part?" Goku asked.
"You make a very pretty girl Goku." The small girl complimented.
"Why do these clothes make me itch?" Goku asked.
Just then everyone started to feel the ground shake.
"What's happening?" Bulma asked as she grabbed onto the leg of a nearby table.
"It's Oolong, he's here." One of the villagers said.
"Goku, go out there now, and don't blow your cover." Bulma whispered into Goku's ear as she pushed him outside and closed the door.
"Okay, okay you don't need to be pushy." Goku said annoyed. (No pun intended, unless you wanted it to.)
"And Goku do not let him take a good look at your face." Bulma quickly whispered. Goku nodded and covered his face up.
"Looks like my job won't be as tough as I thought it would be. And Puar will be safe." Yamcha said as he sat back and relaxed.
A loud stomping could be heard that was coming closer and closer to Goku, and everyone knew that it was the feared Oolong.
The transformation that he was in right now was large and red and he had two big horns on his head. He wore clothes that had tiger patterns that you would usually see in jungle movies. In one of his hands, he held a big bouquet of flowers that everyone suspected that he would give to Goku.
"Hello little girl, may I know your name?" He asked in a monstrous voice.
"I'm Goku." Goku said casually. He then turned around to face Oolong.
"Are you Oolong? You're not that scary." Goku said calmly.
"What? Oh you must be new to this village." Oolong said.
"Yeah, but can we fight? I don't think you're all that tough. You are just turning into guys that you think look tough." Goku stated.
"Fight? That is unusual request." Oolong said confused.
"No Goku, you're not supposed to do blow your cover." Bulma said worryingly.
"I hate wearing this. It makes me itch." Goku said as he ripped off his dress, luckily he still had his gi underneath it." His tail wriggled happily from being free from being stuffed under the dress.
"That's better!" Goku laughed.
"What? I've been deceived?" Oolong gasped.
"So are you finished talking? I wanna fight now." Goku asked with his arms behind his head.
Oolong laughed. "Fine! But only if you can break ten bricks with one arm." Oolong said as he stacked the bricks up.
"Aww... That makes it too easy." Goku whined. Then an idea popped into his head. "I'll use one finger instead." Goku said as his tail wiggled around happily.
"I'll like to see you try kid!" Oolong laughed.
Goku got his finger ready to break the bricks. He put a small fracture of his power into this and he did a chop but with his finger that broke all ten bricks and made a couple of cracks within the ground.
"See it's easy. Anyone could do it." Goku said sounding kind of bored.
Oolong just stood there in awe.
'Uh oh, my five minutes is almost up.' Oolong thought as he transformed himself into a bull.
"This is not over yet little kid." He said as he ran out of the village.
"Hey! Come back here!" Goku yelled as he followed Oolong out of the village.
"That kid is more powerful than I first predicted... But, he will be fun to mess with." Yamcha said with a small laugh. "That kid doesn't know what he's getting himself into." He finished as he ran through the trees and followed Goku's tracks.
He watched Goku as he talked to someone.
"Excuse me..." Goku said to a pig in a green outfit.
"Hm...?" He asked.
"Have you seen a large bull pass by here?" Goku asked.
"That way." The pig answered as he pointed over to his left.
"Thank you." Goku said as he followed the directions that the pig gave him.
The pig let out a small sigh of relief. But then he heard a small laugh from above.
"You really fooled that kid there. If I wasn't told about you then I would have probably been fooled myself, Oolong." Yamcha said with a mischievous grin on his face.
"Wait are-aren't you... Yamcha?" The pig asked nervously.
"You catch on quick for a piece of breakfast." Yamcha said with another one of his classic laughs.
"Aren't you supposed to be living in the desert?" The pig asked.
"Well let's just say that there is something that I need to take care of." Yamcha replied. "But, unless you want to suffer the consequences, I suggest that you do something for me."
"Wow no one's here. I should have caught up to him by now, he sure moves fast." Goku said confused.
He clutched his fists and put them on his hips.
"This is just I waste of time. I should probably head back and tell Bulma the news." Goku said sadly. "She's going to be disappointed." He said as he ran back to the village.
He looked over at the wall and noticed that the mysterious and strange pig was gone.
"He must've been late for dinner." Goku said to himself as he went into the village.
"Sorry Bulma, but he's just too fast." Goku protested.
"Well maybe if you stuck to the plan then you would have gotten all of the girls back from that monster." Bulma explained kind of harshly.
"I don't think that he's a monster, he's just a big chicken. He ran away from me when I broke the bricks that he set out for me." Goku said.
"Whatever, you still need to get the girls back from Oolong. If you don't we won't get that Dragon Ball." Bulma said furiously.
"Sure, but can we eat first, I haven't had any food in a while?" Goku asked as his stomach growled loudly. "Whenever I'm hungry, my brain can't concentrate that well." Goku explained as he started to rub his stomach.
Bulma let out a small frustrated and annoyed sigh.
"Fine, one meal then, but once you eat that then you better listen to instructions, got it?" Bulma questioned.
Goku nodded with a big smile on his face, as Bulma asked the villagers if they had any food left. They kindly said that they would prepare a meal for the small fighter.
With that Goku prepares himself for the next time that Oolong appears. Will the small boy be able to defeat him or will Yamcha's plan succeed? Find out next time on Dragon Ball: The Grand Adventures!
