Chapter 5: Fraypan Mountain and the Kamehameha Wave

"Hey, aren't we in the North? 'Cause, it is way too hot here."

And I was right. We were sweating lightly inside the car. The plant life that went by our car was for the tropics and we were supposed to be in the North. Bulma agreed with me, and then Oolong went into description on why it was so. It was because of Frypan Mountain, and we so happen to see it in the distance.

We got out of the car and awed at the flaming mountain. Oolong wanted us to give up on our quest to get the Dragon Ball from Frypan Mountain. Bulma refused and asked about Gyuumaou. Oolong went on how he couldn't get into his castle and prowls the bottom of the mountain, killing anyone who wants his treasure.

I remembered Grandpa talk about him to me, but from what I hear now, he doesn't sound as pleasant. Oolong tried for an escape but was held back from Bulma squealing, his diarrhea.

We got to the base of the mountain. Bulma complained loudly about the heat, Oolong tried to shush her, Goku was poking an armored skull with a stick, and I was scanning the run down village.

Bulma wanted Goku to fly up to the castle and get the Dragon Ball. I was about to protest when Goku called for Kintoun and was off towards the castle. I huffed and wrinkled my nose. This make-up is getting uncomfortable, dry, and icky on my face.

I went to the skullifide warrior and took the cleanest cloth of what looked to be his cape. I took a water bottle out of the car and scrubbed my face. I "Ah"ed in relief, it was getting itchy after a while. I threw the rag away and put the rest of the water back into the car.

I heard Bulma call Goku a coward. I glared at her.

"Now look here-"

I never got to finish since a large battle axe came spiraling towards that, missing by a foot. I quickly got into a defensive stance in front of Bulma and Oolong. Ready for any more attacks.

A large armored man started to ask questions about us being treasure hunters. Bulma denied that we were going after his treasure. He finally noticed me when Goku informed us from above that he couldn't get into the castle.

"And who are you young lady, you seem familiar."

I blinked and eased my stance, but still at the ready. I looked into his eyes.

"I am Son Kagome, granddaughter of Son Gohon, along with my brother, Goku."

I gestured to Goku sitting on his floating cloud. He looked to Goku and asked where he got it from. Goku answered,

"I got it from an old man named Kame-sennin. So you're Gyuumaou? You look really strong!"

I agreed with Goku. He is strong. Gyuumaou started to ask us where Kame-sennin, Muten Roshi, lives.

Bulma said he would be somewhere away from the coast. Gyuumaou started to do a dance saying that he can live in his castle now. He then noticed Goku's Bo.

We said it was from our grandpa, as I said before our relation to him. Gyuumaou said that our grandpa was Master Roshi-sama's first disciple and he was the seconded.

He asked Goku to get something from Master Roshi and to get his daughter back, in exchange for the Dragon Ball in his castle.

He agreed and also suggested that his daughter, Chichi, to become Goku's bride. He showed us a picture of Chichi. She was quite pretty. My eyes sharpened at that.

Goku went off to get the said people and hopefully item. I turned to Gyuumaou. He, in turn, looked at me.

"Now about Chichi being Goku's bride, I would like to meet her before anything is arranged."

"Of course! But may I ask why?"

My eyes softened. "Just making precautions for Goku, he's the only family I have left. I want him to be happy."

He patted my back, in sympathy, with an amount of force to drive any normal man to fly 50ft. I didn't budge. I ignored the murmur from Bulma and Oolong.

"You are a good sister to Goku, so strong. Goku is lucky to have a sister like you. I'll be glad to have you in the family."

I threw him a playful glare. "Hey, I haven't met her yet, but yeah, I do my best."

I looked to Goku and the little girl I suppose is Chichi coming down with Kame-sennin, spinning on a turtle.

Apparently, he doesn't have the fan to vanquish the flames on Frypan Mountain, but he will do it himself.

But before he did so, he reprimanded Gyuumaou for his behavior for the last years. Then he poked Goku with his staff and whispered something.

Goku came to Bulma and me. He asked us to meet Kame-sennin away from everyone. I was confused but agreed. Bulma did the same, hesitantly.

He wanted to touch either one of our chests. I don't see any merit in it. Bulma refused, for the both of us, violently. She did get him to promise to put out the fire before he touches either one of our chests. She promised, didn't I had to, too.

He took off his shirt, showing spindly arms and a thin chest, covered in message pads. I didn't hear what he said to Bulma. He got on top of a wall, with help from Goku. He teetered a bit, but when he breathed deeply, his muscles got large.

He did the Kamehameha Wave. It was a strong blue beam of energy heading to the mountain, it put out the flames, just destroyed the mountain.

I've seen grandpa do once before and it was a just a bit lower in power compared to this one. I tried it afterward. Let's just say 2 mountains went missing. I never did it again, along with suppressing my energy. I fell over by Master Roshi's comment, as did everyone else.

I stayed behind with Goku. He asked the question I knew that he would ask. 50 years? It took me my first try. It was wild, hence no 2 mountains. I watched Goku collect his energy into his hands while Master Roshi and Gyuumaou talk.

"Careful Goku. The more you concentrate to a single point, the stronger the blast will be."

He nodded and blew up our car. I clapped and gave him a nuggie.

"That was so great! That is difficult to do at your age. Ah I remember when I first did it."

"But it wasn't as strong as Master, wait you did it too! When? How?"

I looked into his eager and confused face and smiled softly, remembering.

"Well, you were too young to learn it, but I learned it form Grandpa. I focused too much on my blasts and 2 of our mountains were destroyed because I couldn't control my blasts properly."

"Oh so that's how they disappeared!"

"Yup-"

I was interrupted by Master Roshi. My tail went a little limp in sadness at remembering that Grandpa is gone. I haven't really copt with it since I had to be strong for Goku, but I perked up when he suggested training. Goku agreed that he would come to his house after our adventure. I stepped in.

"Hey, um Kame-sennin? Can I train with Goku? Please, please please!"

"Of course dear! The more the merrier!"

I grinned and hugged Goku.

"Did you hear Goku?! I get to train with you again! This will be so much fun!"

"Hahahaha Yeah, I can't wait! Maybe after training, I can finally beat you!"

He wiggled out of my grasp and pointed a finger at me, grinning playfully all the way. I faked a pout.

"Oh Goku, come here you!"

I chased him around a bit, both laughing. I caught him with a burst of speed and gave him another noggie.

I heard, with Goku, cheers. Bulma found the 7 star Ball. She found out about our destroyed car, but was replaced by Gyuumaou's car.

We got in and said good bye. But before that, Mater Roshi reminded Bulma of her promise. She tried to get me up too, but …

"What promise? I didn't make any promise."

I watched, with feinted innocence, as Master Roshi Snapped his fingers in disappointment and Bulma shouted at me, ending in that I owe her a favor after this. I nodded as Bulma disappeared with Oolong, probably to have him take her place. I giggled silently.

They came back, a blissful Master Roshi, wise-cracked Oolong, and an angry Bulma.

I listened to Chichi talk to Goku. I'm going to need to talk to him about that, but I like the girl. She would make a good bride for Goku.

We took off into the air. I could feel Yamucha not far off trailing us. Yes, I knew. I just don't want to spoil the fun for him and Bulma.
