The planes came closer to the burning inferno that was Fire Mountain. The fire from it lite the night sky, turning the dark night to an orangery day.
The raging fire absorbed the gaze of Kakarrot. He was watching the flames intensely being drawn to them, like a moth to the light. The other passengers could feel the heat of the fire despite being at such a distance due to its sheer size and intensity.
Yellow was nervously scanning the ground around the mountain. He was trying to see the giant and a place to land. He looked to see the excited monster that was Kakarrot looking out the window of the plane at the raging fire. He cringed. He didn't have a good feeling about any of this, as he found a place to land.
Down below there was a pig that was leaning and listening to the sound of the planes approaching with his pink ears. The pig was pink wearing some sort of Mao Zedong era Chinese clothing all green with a red star on his hat. He looked nervous about the sounds in the air.
"Hey Bulma, did you hear that?"
Oolong stop chewing on a piece of grass and tapped on the shoulder of figure who was in the car that he was leaning on. The figure was of a young sixteen-year-old girl having fell asleep while reading some sort of trashy gossip magazine. Her hair was blue, and she is wearing some clothing that could be called at the least, revealing. She jolted awake at his words and touch. She took out a gun from her side and started to point it around, not looking.
Oolong dropped to the ground afraid that she was about to cap him as she yelled, "Who's there!?" Not waiting for a response. "Get ready to get turned into swiss cheese!"
Bulma after there was no response finally opened her eyes and looked around to realize no one was around.
Oolong yelled out, "For the love of Kami, Bulma… It's just me!"
Bulma sighed then look angrily at Oolong who was still on the ground. "Why did you scare me you jerk!"
Oolong "No I just heard something, and you started pointing that gun around!"
"Oh well you should have more tact when you try and wake me."
"MORE TACT!" Oolong roared in annoyance.
"You know you don't have to shout at me."
Oolong faced had gone from pink to a dark red practically steaming at Bulma in anger.
She looked at him with contempt and in a frown as she asked, "Is Chi-Chi back yet with Roshi?"
"How should I know? All I heard was a sound and then you were about to turn me into Swiss ham."
"I don't know her cloud doesn't make that much noise." Her eyes turned to hearts her hands with the gun mind you went to the side of her face and she said. "Maybe it's that hunk Yamcha."
Oolong panicky said, "Don't sound so excited about a guy that has been trying to kill us!"
Bulma clearly not listen placing her hands to her checks them. "Oh, he's so shy and sweet with his long hair and muscles."
"Earth to Bulma that guy wants to KILL US! And take our Dragon Balls."
Bulma still in her own heart shaped world. "I like how turns red and stammers off every time he sees me."
"He tried to turn me in a kabob!"
Bulma seemed to come back from her own world to say, "Let's just hope it's not that jerk dog or lady."
Oolong muttered, "Fine you have come back to Earth. How was deep space anyways?"
"Shut up jerk or I will say the magic word."
Oolong looks away muttering obscenities under his breath as he gets back to his feet.
Nearby Puar the float blue cat was trying to wake her master as he had collapsed after having been about to try and sneak up and steal the Dragon Balls but had instead gotten a good look at Bulma instead. He was red and steaming on the ground panting and glassy eyed mumbling incoherently.
"Master what are we going to do?"
An unknown voice which was hooting said, "We'll look what we have here Jimbo."
Yamcha snapped out his daze to get up and look to see a group of RRA troopers entering the intersection where Bulma and Oolong were. They had both guns and viscous stares both visible aimed at Bulma. They were dressed all like they were from the old west.
Soldier two said, "I know what you mean. It looks like we have ourselves a poor little girl out here all by herself with only a honey baked ham to comfort her."
"Say boys we're a charitable lot. How about we keep her 'company'. Now how about you drop that gun girly." He said with a smile and gave a grotesque wink. Bulma very reluctantly dropped her gun.
Soldier one said mockingly, "Well isn't she sweet as a peach." The others smiled and nodded as Bulma was justifiable terrified. "Okay here's how this is going to go. Porky you're going to stay real still and maybe we let you go. The rest of you search the car for anything while me and the girl get 'better acquainted' in that house over there."
The others darkly chuckled as one says, "Okay Sarge."
They come closer as Bulma is frozen with fear as the soldiers come closer. Yamcha watches this no longer with fear of Bulma but fear for Bulma. His blood was boiling with each step they took towards her. Something inside him snapped and he quickly forms a plan. They came closer when Yamcha yelled at them, "Hey assholes!"
Yamcha had gotten to the roof of the building he was in and was jumping down onto the goons from above. They looked as he fell to the ground in front of Bulma and Oolong. Got to his feet and as the soldiers started to point their guns and he yelled, "BULMA RUN!"
Yamcha rushed forward punching and kicking the soldiers as they shot at him. Yamcha yelled out "Wolf Fang Fist!" and in a flurry of punches and kicks all of the soldier were laid flat out onto the ground. He was breathing heavily as the world seemed to come back to him realizing all he had done.
The soldiers were twitching on the ground as Bulma started running towards Yamcha. She gabbed and hugged him to his shock and frightened dismay. Yamcha practically jumped out of her arms and went scrambling away. Bulma completely confused looked at Yamcha. She was about to speak when a noise interrupted them.
It a slow clap coming from a building overlooking the fight coming from the direction from where the soldiers came from. It was Kakarrot having watched the fight from his vantage point stare at them. Yamcha got back into serious mode from the sound. He, Bulma, Oolong and Puar all looked at the palm haired monkey tailed figure.
Kakarrot jumped down the ground hitting it with a thud but not injuring himself in the least. His eyes were like a predator's staring at the Yamcha.
"So, you're not the normal kind of weak human, are you?"
Yamcha in a cocky smile said, "I think that's very evident."
Kakarrot eyes widen some more. "And very sure of yourself too. I came here expecting to find a giant and a challenge, but I guess you will have to do boy."
"I'm sure you will find me more than enough of a challenge."
"I highly doubt that, but we shall see."
Yellow was watching from down the street hiding behind a building in his mad bomber hat trembling a bit at seeing his men so easily Ko'ed. Bulma took this banter as a sign to run back to her car and hide behind it along with Oolong. Yamcha got into stance while Kakarrot just stood there.
Yamcha charged at Kakarrot with all his might, taking swipes at the boy who merely took them without much damage. Yamcha jumped back in dismay at this lack of progress.
Kakarrot looks at him with a cruel smile. "As I thought you're nothing at all."
Kakarrot lunges at him and kick him into a nearby building which collapses. Its stones fall on Yamcha. "Pathetic human just pathetic." Yamcha emerged from the rubble with a chipped tooth. Yamcha was evidently both nervous and excited at the same time.
Yamcha said with a cocky smile. "Please tell be you didn't think that was all I had in me."
Kakarrot was happy to see him, "Well I will grant you this human you can take a kick." The two charged at one another punching and kick but soon afterwards Yamcha is knocked away by Kakarrot tail slamming him into another building.
This causes both Puar and Bulma to yelp in shock to see Yamcha so easily rag dolled. Yellow watching smirked as he thinks 'My Kami this kid is as dynamite as they say. That long-haired boob took out a squad, but the kid is just whipping him about. I knew he was bad, but damn.'
Bulma thought as she muttered, "I hope Yamcha is okay."
Oolong thinking and eyes looking around. "Maybe this would be a good time to run Bulma!"
Kakarrot looks over to the car and Bulma and Oolong and says, "Hmmm I think a need a snack after all of that." Both Bulma and Oolong grab hold of one another in fear. He continues "Ham has always been one of my favorites."
Yellow came out from behind his hiding spot and starts to walk over with a smile on his face.
A shout came from up above however, the group looked to see the yellow cloud of the nimbus coming towards them. The nimbus came to the ground and the figure on it jumped to the ground and came between Kakarrot and the others.
The figure was that of Chi-Chi. She was dressed in orange gi and with a blue undershirt. On her back was a stick in a holster tie to her chest. Her eyes were determined but childish. She had muscles despite her age. Her hair was raven black.
Kakarrot in just this short glace was fascinated by this new adversary that was clearly more interesting. His tail was moving around as it was curious.
"I don't know who you are, but nobody threatens my friends."
Kakarrot at first found himself unable to respond. She was beautiful from the angry glare to her clearly visible skill, but he managed to shake off the cobwebs and said. "They started it. All my friends here wanted to do was to 'get to know' your blue hair friend then wolf boy rudely beat the hell out of them."
"I don't know what 'get to know' means but you were going to try and eat them."
"Yeah so what?"
Chi-Chi yelled, "So what? I won't let you!"
Chi-Chi quickly takes out her power pole the red stick on her back. She skillfully twirls it the hold it with both hands and points it at him. Kakarrot was grining like no tomorrow. She had fire to her. Yamcha was pathetic but this girl was a fighter with some skill and training.
Bulma was giddy now that Chi-Chi's return. Her eyes were sparkling, and she was now holding Oolong more as one would a stuffed animal then a living thing, much to Oolong discomfort.
Chi-Chi stood her ground while Kakarrot was waiting for her to make the first move. His instincts were telling him to be more cautious with this one. Yellow had run back to his hiding spot as something told him that this girl was more then she appeared.
Finally, Kakarrot got bored. He charged at Chi-Chi who rewarded him with a blow from the extended power pole in the face and was thrown back. Bulma cheered and squeezed Oolong who begged her to stop.
Kakarrot recovered. He planted his feet on the ground and then charged again. Chi-Chi tried to whack him again with her pole. He dodged it and came in close. Their two's fists meet, and it was clear Kakarrot was stronger.
Chi-Chi back away and continue to swing her pole around smacking him on the side face. Kakarrot growled and began to move on his hands and his feet far more like an animal. Chi-Chi was far more skilled however and kept giving him whacks until he grabbed the pole. He pulled her closer and gave her a good punch to the face knocking her to the ground.
The power pole retracts as he throws the pole away onto the ground. Bulma who is now panicking while with her hands practically strangling Oolong as he tries to fight her off.
Kakarrot stares at her intensely as she gets up and says, "I've got to give you credit only machines have ever been able to give me a good fight before toady. I was under the impression that the humans could only ever make things that could challenge me."
Chi-Chi gets to her feet and spits some blood and looks him dead on with a determined glare.
"Yep you are a true warrior girl. So, it is only right that I give you a warrior's choice. I work with a lot of humans. One more won't be a problem. You can either join me or die with your friends." He gives it a good pause before asking. "So, what's it going to be?"
Chi-Chi looked shocked at first but then in anger yelled, "No! I will not join you; you jerk! And I'm not letting you hurt my friends either!"
Kakarrot eyes lit up at seeing her fury and anger quite happy that she didn't take the deal. "You know I was almost afraid that you were going to take the deal." He sighed and said, "It might have lower my opinion of you, but you didn't disappoint." He began to walk towards her.
Chi-Chi got into stance and prepared to make her final stand.
"Sonny I would leave the girl alone." Everyone presents looked to see Master Roshi standing there. He had on his thick sunglasses. His bald head glowed as a result of his proximity the mountain. His heavy shell was on his back. Yellow jacket and blue pants. His body was crooked, bending forward. His long beard was white and trimmed. His driftwood cane was in his hand.
Kakarrot looked angrily at the old man who didn't look like much to him and said, "Do you mind? I'm in the middle of a fight."
"Oh, I can see that. But I don't appreciate you trying to kill my former student's kid."
Kakarrot said dismissively, "Well it doesn't really matter what you think does it old man."
"You're a very powerful kid son. What is your name?"
"Its Kakarrot Gero old man and don't call me son."
"Well Kakarrot it's sad that someone like you can only using you power for cruelty and aggression."
Kakarrot laughed and said, "What else is there? Life is about the strong crushing the weak."
Master Roshi pointing to Chi-Chi. "That little girl's name is Chi-Chi. Her father was once upon a time my student taught martial arts by me. He lost his way and ended up brutally dying trying to defend a treasure that he could not even reach. He was one of the strongest on this planet, but he got unlucky. Your strong but force can't give you what you want."
Kakarrot laughed again and said, "And what is it I want?"
"I wouldn't know I just met you kid. I just happen to get the vibe that it isn't sunshine and rainbows in that noggin of yours."
Roshi dropped his cane and took off his shell. The shell cracked the ground as it fell. He began to stretch as Kakarrot shifted focus from Chi-Chi to Roshi. Kakarrot's senses twitch from the shell as he realized that this was not what he had expected.
Kakarrot wondered. He is so though he knows about my strength. Why is that? What is he planning?
"Well young stuff you can try," He yawned widely before tacking on lazily. "And attack me."
A fire was lit in Kakarrot's stomach with him thinking, He's mocking me, isn't he. Kakarrot practically exploded with rage as he charged full force at Roshi. He swung wildly at the old man. Roshi however managed to easily dodge them and dodge them with ease. Kakarrot went full force in one kicking at Roshi which was dodged. Kakarrot couldn't stop himself and went flying into a nearby building.
Master Roshi talking loudly at the crater. "You know just because you have strength doesn't mean you should always use it. You have all of this power, but you use it like an animal would. Your moves are predictable. You have no control of your emotions or your ki. Your teacher has been a jackboot and it shows."
Kakarrot burst out of the rubble and screamed, "SHUT UP!"
He charged once again at Roshi who continued to dodge and evade. With Kakarrot continuing to injure himself while trying to hurt Roshi. The other were stunned and Yellow was panicking.
Kakarrot boiling with rage yelled, "Why can't I hit you?!"
"You are too blinded by your anger and rage to see the truth. That I am far stronger and far faster. You hurt yourself because you have no control. Therefore, you are easy to control. You are exhausted and I haven't even warmed up yet. You don't think you just do. Mark my words if you continue like this you, will not grow either as a person or a fighter," He turns away from Kakarrot. "Go home kid. Think about what I said. Its good advice, I can guarantee you."
Kakarrot eyes filled with rage then charged once again at Roshi headlong going for the back of his without even looking back hands him sending Kakarrot flying and landing towards Captain Yellow who jumps at this. Roshi look back at Yellow and says, "You better take the kid home. He is going to need medical attention."
Yellow quickly grabbed Kakarrot and rushed away followed by his remaining conscious soldiers. They all ran to their planes and took off.
Chi-Chi looked starry eyed at Roshi and said, "Master that was amazing!"
Roshi using some false modestly while absorbing all of their adulation. "Oh, it wasn't all that impressive."
Bulma cheering letting go of the very purple faced Oolong said, "Who knew a dirty old perverted man like you could do all of that?"
Roshi collapsed onto the ground in disappointment. Bulma and Chi-Chi laughed as Puar and Yamcha snuck away. Yamcha thinking to himself. "Damn Roshi is powerful. Maybe I will need to get some training from him."
The medic attended to Kakarrot laying bandages on him as Fire Mountain disappeared behind the squadron. It did so in a flash of blue white light leaving darkened embers in its wake.
Pilot looked to Yellow and asked, "Captain what just happened?"
"I don't know!? I think the old man just blow up the mountain!"
In nearly the same time the troops ask, "How the hell did he do that?!"
"Look we will just drop the kid off and hope command doesn't think we're all crazy!" They nodded as they flew further into the dark night towards the Crane School.
I'll probably do more with A New Hope then A Red Son.
