*Hey, everyone. Here's an unexpected 7th story that I ultimately decided to write. I didn't initially think I'd go beyond my initial 6 crossovers, but after watching more of the 80s Urusei Yatsura (Those Obnoxious Aliens) anime, I thought writing a crossover with Dragon Ball could turn out pretty funny. The series is getting a remake in October as well, so that helped me gain some newfound inspiration as well. Hope you guys enjoy the first chapter!
Chapter 1: An Unexpected Proposal
Universe 7, The North Galaxy, Age 756
Somewhere close to the planet, Earth, a massive ship traveled through outer space at a slow, yet steady speed. It was triangular in shape and was coated yellow with black stripes that were strangely reminiscent of a tiger. A red dome was also positioned at the top; most likely serving as a cockpit for this interstellar vehicle's pilots and passengers.
These passengers in question were part of one specific race, the Oni. Similar to the mythological creature of the same name, these aliens were known for their yellow horns and sharp, pointy teeth. They also had green hair, the ability to fly, and, most interestingly enough, the power to manipulate electricity through their fingertips. Some were even capable of different powers altogether, including metamorphosis and breathing fire.
However, at the moment, there were only two Oni in this particular vessel. One was a heavyset, muscular man with short green hair and two canines that stuck out of his lower jaw. He wore a yellow jumpsuit with black stripes akin to the very ship he inhabited as well. Standing at an unbelievably impressive height, this man was known as Mr. Invader, the current ruler of Planet Oni.
"Welp, there it is, Lum. Planet Earth." He pointed out to the other Oni on board.
Lum Invader, the princess of Planet Oni, was a voluptuous seventeen-year-old girl with long green hair and a pair of small horns that were slightly concealed by her bangs. Unlike her father, she had sparkling blue eyes and wore a much more revealing yellow bikini with black stripes. She also wore a similar pair of thigh-length boots to match.
Lum batted her eyelashes, taking a closer look at Earth from the glass. She didn't look all that impressed. "Hm, are you sure going to this planet is a good idea, daddy? It doesn't seem all that interesting to me."
"Ah, don't be so picky. In these times, any planet is worth the possibility of being invaded. I mean, who knows? Maybe some Earthling will be able to impress you during their potential duel against you."
Lum slightly giggled. "I doubt it. I still haven't been beaten yet, remember?"
"I know, dear. That's why this next invasion could go either way." Mr. Invader nodded his head.
He then placed the ship in park above Earth's upper atmosphere. Afterwards, the Oni typed some commands into a keyboard and activated the ship's central computer.
"Identify Earth's leading politician or ruler, please." He ordered.
"Scanning…Scanning…" The computer proceeded to perform a concise scan on the planet's entire population. It cycled through millions upon billions of different faces until one was selected. It was King Furry, an old blue dog with glasses and a white moustache.
"Identified: King Furry. He has been the king of Earth since the year, Age 733." The computer informed.
"The ruler of this planet is…is a dog man? Teehee! That's certainly strange." Lum chuckled amusedly.
"Well, dogs are fiercely loyal creatures. This Furry man could be the same way." Mr. Invader presumed. "Suppose there's only way to find out, though…"
He then stood in the center of the room and prepared to transport himself directly to Earth.
"Stay up here, Lum. I'll call you once your challenger is selected."
"Okay, daddy. See you then." Lum said.
With that, Mr. Invader instantaneously disappeared in a flash of yellow lightning. Lum then sighed and crossed her arms, pouting.
"Hmph. Earth's so-called champion better be someone interesting…" Lum mentally hoped. She took one last look at the oceanic planet before floating to another part of the ship.
Earth, King Castle, Age 756
King Furry's castle resided somewhere in the middle of Central City. Guarded head-to-toe by an army of soldiers, it was a white tower with gold and blue bands that wrapped around each floor. A white antenna also stuck out of the tower's blue roof while two smaller buildings were constructed on both sides. A garden filled to the brim with green trees could also be seen in front of the facility's main entrance.
Inside, King Furry was busy filing piles upon piles of paperwork. He was guarded by two of his many soldiers, both of which were wearing orange uniforms with blue sleeves. Both of their outfits were marked with the symbol 'KG', an acronym that stood for the King's Guards.
"Great. At this rate, I'll be looking over these confounded documents until nightfall." King Furry grumbled. He glanced at the large stack of papers still yet to be looked over, grimacing.
"As if it couldn't get any better than this…" He snorted sarcastically.
All of a sudden, a lightning bolt struck King Castle's antenna and shook the entire building from side to side. King Furry was flung out of his chair, sending papers flying in all sorts of directions.
"W-What in Kami's name?!" Furry gasped. Before his very eyes, lightning burst through the ceiling and dropped off an abnormally large man in its wake.
The dog-human hybrid was stunned by this spectacle. He was even more stunned by the two horns standing atop the man's head.
"An Oni…?" He muttered in semi-recognition.
Before the strange visitor could introduce himself, Furry's two guards stood in front of him and brought out their weapons.
"Step away from the King, monster!" One of them screamed.
Mr. Invader looked more confused than threatened. He could already tell these supposed "weapons" were much weaker than laser rifles used by the average Frieza Force soldier back home. Regardless, he thought it'd be best to humor them for the moment and hold up his hands in surrender.
"No need to be hostile, King Furry. I come in peace." Mr. Invader insisted.
"Liar! You call that kind of insane entrance peaceful?!" The other soldier snorted in disbelief. He gestured to the massive hole in the ceiling, much to Mr. Invader's confusion.
"Why yes, actually. Was there something wrong with it?" He asked obliviously.
The two soldiers glanced at one another in puzzlement. Was he mocking them, or did he really just say that?
"Lower your weapons, men. Let the man speak." King Furry commanded. The two begrudgingly did as they were told and put away their guns.
"Take a seat…erm…if you can…" King Furry choked out. While he went back to his desk, Mr. Invader crossed his legs and sat down on the floor. His head was fairly close to hitting the ceiling, even when crouched down.
King Furry cleared his throat and glared up at the extraterrestrial standing before him. He hadn't felt this nervous since his first encounter with Demon King Piccolo three years prior.
"Now, let's set the record straight. Who are you and how do you know my name?" He asked.
"The name's Invader. I'm the king of a planet called Oni in the South Galaxy. Nice to meet ya!" Mr. Invader introduced himself with a warm smile. He then gave King Furry his business card.
Furry raised an eyebrow at the card. All it had was a chibi version of Mr. Invader popping out of a green and yellow star. "South Galaxy, you say?"
"Yep, that's right. Traveling between galaxies takes quite a bit of time." Mr. Invader replied enthusiastically "And as for your second question, I had my ship's computer identify the leader of this planet and obviously, that turned out to be you. I always like to talk with a planet's leaders peacefully before I go about invading it. It's a more diplomatic approach that way, you know?"
"Hm. I suppose that's a fair way to go about…uh…D-Did you just say you were here to invade the Earth?!" King Furry gulped.
Mr. Invader narrowed his eyes. "That's why I'm here, yes. Us Oni try to ingratiate as many planets into our cause as possible; mostly to better appease Emperor Frieza, but you don't need to hear about that little…uh…predicament."
"Emperor Frieza?" King Furry whispered to himself. He already could tell that this emperor was a big deal just by the tone from which Mr. Invader said his name. He had an ever-so-slight twinge of fear in his voice that, admittedly, came off as a bit unnerving. It reminded him of how King Piccolo used to be treated across the globe.
"However," Mr. Invader raised one of his fingers, "Don't assume that I'm some type of cruel, ruthless conqueror or anything of the sort. I always make sure to give any race a fair chance to fight for the ownership of their planet. You Earthlings should be no different."
"A chance to fight, huh? Care to elaborate?" King Furry asked.
"You will select a person on this planet to face my daughter, Lum, in a game of tag. They'll have about a week to grab her horns, so if they fail do so within that time limit, Earth officially belongs to me. But if they do succeed, my people and I will go back home without another world." Mr. Invader explained how his people handled planetary invasions. "Sound like a good deal?"
King Furry paused for a moment. A week was a fairly long time for a simple game of tag, so Mr. Invader's terms didn't sound bad at all. However, a part of him couldn't help, but wonder if there was a catch to all of this. After all, Invader did emerge from a literal flash of lightning, so the Oni race must have supernatural abilities far beyond that of a normal human. Thankfully, Furry was quite familiar with a select few individuals who sored past the limitations of mankind many years ago. And one of them was Earth's sworn protector, Son Goku.
Trying his best not to smirk, King Furry held out his hand. "Yes. You've got yourself a deal, Mr. Invader."
"Glad we've come to an understanding. Hehe." Mr. Invader chuckled while returning the handshake.
"Would you mind waiting here while my soldiers fetch the person, I wish to play this game? I already have someone specific in mind." King Furry requested.
Mr. Invader casually waved his hand. "Not at all, not at all. Not sure how my daughter will take it, but I'll be patient."
"Thank you. This shouldn't take long, I'm sure."
He politely bowed to Mr. Invader and then ran over to his two guards. He leaned closer to them with a determined expression on his face.
"Make your way over to Mt. Paozu, immediately. I wish to speak with the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament champion, Son Goku, in private."
The two soldiers gave their leader an affirmative salute. "On it, sire. We won't let you down!"
They then took it upon themselves to avoid Mr. Invader and ran toward one of their miliary-grade hovercrafts.
King Furry sat back down, reminiscing about the last time he saw the happy-go-lucky martial artist. Based on what he heard, Goku's opponent at the tournament was apparently King Piccolo's son of all people. He couldn't help but feel amazed that Goku was able to defeat him just as efficiently as before.
I wonder. What have you been up to since then, Goku?" He wondered.
Earth, Mt. Paozu, Age 756
Within a forested area near Mt. Paozu, Goku was standing relatively close to his late grandfather's house. Standing at a height of 5'9, the muscular nineteen-year-old was wearing an orange gi with a black undershirt and blue wristbands. This gi was tied down by a black sash while blue and yellow boots covered his pantlegs. These boots had their own set of red shoelaces that kept them bound together in a somewhat similar fashion. Additionally, Goku's head of spiky, gravity defying black hair was just as prominent as always.
He looked a bit nervous and anxious, but continued to stand in place, nonetheless. This was mainly done to please his new fiancée, Chi-Chi, a young girl who was absolutely starstruck by the mere mention of their upcoming marriage. About a year younger than Goku, she had long, black hair that was tied down into a ponytail using a red band. She wore a blue dress with red pants, red and white boots, and red wristbands that extended just a tad bit further than Goku's. Said dress was also bound together by a red sash located just above her waist.
Chi-Chi had a wide, enthusiastic grin on her face as she planned out the location of her and Goku's new house. She had already suggested that her father, the Ox-King, build them one as a wedding present.
"Oh, Goku! Isn't this romantic? Soon, we'll have our own place to live and do as we please in! I'm just so excited!" Chi-Chi lovingly beamed.
Goku scratched the back of his head in uncertainty. "I guess so, but shouldn't we slow down a bit, Chi-Chi? We just got engaged about a week ago. We're not even officially married yet."
Chi-Chi crossed her arms and frowned. She had to admit that Goku did make a reasonable point there, but regardless of how sudden their relationship truly was, Chi-Chi felt eager enough to pursue this marriage anyway. A promise was a promise, after all, even if Goku did mistake marriage for food at first.
"Emphasis on yet, dear. In my eyes, it's better to plan these things out ahead of time. That way, we'll actually have a place to spend our honeymoon after the wedding is over." She replied.
"Honeymoon? Is that actually made of honey or is it something else?" Goku asked, letting the sensation of hunger overtake his mind once again.
Chi-Chi rolled her eyes and sighed. Despite being in peak physical condition, Goku definitely had a long way to go in terms of enhancing his intelligence.
"Ugh! You can be so clueless sometimes." She grumbled. Chi-Chi then leaned forward and gave him a loving kiss on the cheek. "But that's what I love about you."
"Heh. Thanks…I think." Goku chuckled. He lightly rubbed the spot where Chi-Chi kissed him.
"Now, just stay put for a moment. I'm going to plan out the exact size our house should be." Chi-Chi said.
"Alright. If you say so." Goku begrudgingly shrugged. He was hoping he'd have some time to train for his next fight with Piccolo, but apparently, that would have to wait.
Pleased with this response, Chi-Chi turned around and began to draw lines in the ground with a tape measure. Where she even got that was unknown to Goku.
Bored and still hungry, Goku plopped himself down the on ground and tried to pass the time through meditation. He closed his eyes, mentally projecting a battle between himself and his former enemies.
However, unbeknownst to Goku, he was being watched by King Furry's guards through a pair of binoculars. Their black hovercraft was hidden between some trees and stalks of bamboo.
"Yep. That's Son Goku, alright." One of the soldiers said. He was both bigger and more muscular in size compared to his partner.
"Alright then. Let's grab him and get this over with." The other soldier barked. He was an elderly with an athletic and gray hair to match his bushy moustache. Though, it still wasn't as large and impressive as King Furry's.
The hovercraft rocketed toward Goku at insanely high speeds. It abruptly stopped in beside Goku, who was too preoccupied with his image training to notice.
Just as he began to open his eyes, the heavy guard grabbed him by the shoulders and roughly threw him into the backseat without so much as a peep. The other soldier then stepped on the gas and immediately propelled their military vehicle into the sky. Within seconds, they were gone.
Surprisingly, Chi-Chi didn't hear any of this taking place. She just merrily hummed while continuing to measure the width and length of her self-declared "dream home". Once she finished, the princess of Fire Mountain clapped her hands together in satisfaction.
"That should be good enough! What do you think, Gok—"
Chi-Chi was confused to see that he wasn't there anymore. She blinked a few times and looked around the area.
"…Goku?" She asked, trying to figure out where he could have gone. Then, she remembered that Goku could fly and thus, assumed that he was off training somewhere. This did not make her happy in the slightest.
"Grrrgh! THAT IDIOT!" Chi-Chi screamed angrily. Getting more furious by the second, she bared her teeth and looked up at the sky. She managed to spot the likeness of a black hovercraft flying away in the distance.
"Hmph! You're going to have to do better than that to hide from me, mister!" She snorted. Afterwards, she squatted down and cupped both hands around her mouth.
"Flying Nimbus!"
Upon command, a golden cloud flew from the sky and perched itself in front of Chi-Chi. Now that she was Goku's fiancée, the Flying Nimbus technically belonged to both of them in a sense.
She hopped on board the cloud and, due to her pure heart, was able to stand on it without falling. "After that car, Nimbus!"
Nimbus then trailed after the hovercraft with a annoyed Chi-Chi in toe.
Inside of the KG vehicle
After fully opening his eyes, Goku had no clue where he was. He could tell it was some car of sorts, but that didn't begin to calm him down by any means. The martial artist could only dart his eyes from left to right in obliviousness.
"Huh? How did I even get here?" Goku asked. He then saw two men: one seated next to him in the backseat and another driving the car. "And who are you guys supposed to be?"
"Don't be alarmed, Son Goku. Both of us are soldiers who work with King Furry. He ordered that we bring you to his castle in Central City by any means necessary." The elderly soldier assured.
"King Furry? You mean that old dog guy King Piccolo tried to kill?" Goku recalled.
"The very same, yeah. You've earned quite a bit of his respect after managing to defeat that monster. And the whole world respects you for saving it as well, I'm sure." The bigger soldier assumed.
"Eh, that's cool and all, but I don't really need anyone's respect or praise for doing that. I just like to fight strong opponents and help people while doing it."
"Well, regardless, I appreciate you for protecting this world, even if it wasn't your sole intention." The elderly guard nodded his head. "But now, King Furry needs your help to save the Earth once again."
"Wait, seriously? Is something bad going to happen?" Goku asked in curiosity.
"You'll find out soon enough. We're almost there." The old guard informed. Central City was currently visible through the windshield, so this was, indeed, accurate.
Goku, although curious by what he meant, thought it best to remain seated and wait. Unfortunately, he remembered something that could make this wait much more intense.
"Aw, crap! I almost forgot!" He cried.
"W-What? What's wrong?" The heavy soldier stammered.
"My fiancée, Chi-Chi! She's going to be absolutely pissed when she realizes that I'm gone!" Goku shuddered in fear.
"But the fate of the entire planet is at stake. Won't she be able to understand that?"
"I guess, but you didn't tell her any of that. So she's going to assume that I just walked off and—"
"GOKU!"
The trio looked through the back window to see a furious Chi-Chi flying on top of Nimbus. She was getting closer and closer at a ridiculously quick pace, much to Goku's disbelief.
"She got Nimbus involved in all of this?!" He muttered under his breath.
"Get your inconsiderate butt back here this instant!" Chi-Chi growled at the top of her lungs.
Panicking, Goku jumped out of his seat and stood up next to the old soldier.
"Step on it, old guy! She's catching up fast!" He yelped.
"I-I can't! This is the highest speed it can reach!" The old soldier shouted back.
"Oh, come on! There has to be something you can do! How 'bout you turn the steering wheel like this to throw her off!" Goku ignorantly suggested. He then grabbed ahold of the wheel and spun it around with far more strength than necessary. This caused the vehicle to spin out of control, rather than actually turn.
The larger guard widened his eyes. "Wait! Don't turn the wheel that hard, you moron! You're going to—"
Goku suddenly broke off the entire steering wheel with his own hands. "Oops…"
To everyone's horror, the car began to drop out of the sky and crash into King Furry's palace. The two guards hung on for dear life while Goku tried to find a way out of this.
"HIT THE BRAKES! HIT THE BRAKES! HIT THE BRAKES!" The bigger soldier cried out.
"BRAKES AREN'T GOING TO HELP WHEN WE'RE FALLING OUT OF THE DAMNED SKY, DUMBASS!" The old soldier fumed. The two then glanced down at King Castle below and completely lost their composure.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" They screamed in unison.
Realizing that they were only a few seconds away from crashing, Goku took a deep breath and focused his ki. He then punched through the windshield, effortlessly grabbed both soldiers, and flew out.
Meanwhile, Chi-Chi continued to be blinded by her own rage until she saw Goku and two men leaving the black-gold car.
"GRRAAAAAGH…wait, what's going on right now?" She muttered under her breath. Her jaw then dropped once she saw the car going on a full-on collision course with King Furry's home.
"Uh oh…" Goku gulped as he held both soldiers in his hands. He then flew down to make sure King Furry was spared from the fiery crash.
Back in King Castle
While waiting for Goku to arrive, King Furry and Mr. Invader spent some time talking amongst themselves. It started out as incredibly awkward, but overtime, both leaders found that they had a lot in common with one another. It appeared that all kings, whether anthropomorphic or extraterrestrial in nature, went through fairly similar issues and experiences.
"Do you have any children, Furry?" Mr. Invader politely asked.
"A few, but they've grown up and moved on with their lives. Ever since my wife died, it's just been me ruling over the entire world for…well…who knows how long at this point." Furry somberly informed. He didn't like to admit it but being the king of an entire planet could get lonely at times.
"Ah, my condolences. I don't know what I'd do without my wife. Not to sound cliché, but she is definitely the light of my life and then some." Mr. Invader hopelessly gushed about his queen.
"As was mine back in the day. Hoho." King Furry chuckled whilst taking a small sip of tea. "Now, your daughter…you said that her name was Lum, correct?"
"That's right! Lum might be seventeen now, but she'll always be my little girl. After all, she is my only child, so she'll eventually need to take up the throne one day."
King Furry cleared his throat. "Ahem. That's all well and good, I guess, but out of curiosity, how strong would you say she is?
He had a more serious expression on his face in that moment. Furry already knew this girl was nowhere near as powerful as Goku, but in this situation, it was better to be safe than sorry.
"How strong? Hmmm. Well, if I were to guess, I'd say…"
Their conversation was interrupted by a black hovercraft smashing straight through the castle's ceiling. It was spinning around and slamming into any piece of the walls it could come in contact with.
"W-What the hell?!" King Furry gasped. As he ducked for cover behind Mr. Invader's body, Goku speedily flew through the hole in the castle's front walls, dropped off the two soldiers, and outstretched his hand.
"Hrrgh…Gah!" Goku shouted. Using his ki, he projected a gust of wind that repelled the hovercraft back outside. It spun around backward, soaring away from King Castle and practically touching the clouds above.
Mr. Invader looked upon this technique in awe. "He used his own energy to prevent that vehicle from crashing. Interesting…"
To top it all off, Goku continued to glare at the hovercraft as it became less visible in the sky. He then clenched his outstretched hand into a fist.
"Hyaaah!" He screamed. The car then exploded in a flash of yellow light, causing millions of pieces to descend in various directions. All that was left of the military craft was a pillar of black smoke and fire, nothing else.
Everyone, especially Mr. Invader, were amazed by Goku's advanced control of his own energy. He just saved all their lives, yet it seemed like just an everyday stroll through the park for him.
"Damn. I really liked that car too…" The old soldier fell to his knees in disappointment.
Goku wiped some sweat off his brow and smiled. "Phew! Good thing I was able to stop that in time. You guys, okay?"
King Furry brushed some excess dust off his pants and stood up straight. "We're more than okay, Goku. Thank you for saving our lives once again."
"No problem! I was the one who kind of caused it, so it's the least I can do." Goku smiled absentmindedly. He then jerked a thumb at the two soldiers who brought him here. "So those two guys mentioned that you wanted me to help save the world or something? Is that true?"
"It is, indeed, true, my boy. The Earth is under the threat of being invaded by this man over here." King Furry affirmed.
"Huh?"
Furry then pointed up at Mr. Invader, a person from which Goku just noticed was even there. He mistook him for some kind of large pillar at first glance.
"Woah! You look even bigger than Ox-King!" Goku whistled in astoundment.
"Not sure who this king of oxen is, but I'll take it as a compliment!" Mr. Invader laughed. He held out his large hand for Goku to shake. "The name's Mr. Invader, son. Nice to finally meet ya!"
Goku returned the handshake. "Uh…sure thing. My name's Goku, sir."
During this greeting, Goku sensed some of the Oni's ki to determine how powerful he was. "Hm. It seems a lot lower than mine and Piccolo's. Maybe he could be suppressing his true power?"
He then let go of the monarch's hand. Although Mr. Invader had a calm look on his face, he, in actuality, felt that there was something familiar about Goku. Something about his black, spiky hair reminded him of a particular alien race from the past, but he wasn't entirely certain. His suspicions would need to be confirmed during the boy's game of tag with Lum.
"Oh, I know. Furry here's told me a lot about your past encounters with the Red Ribbon Army and Demon King Piccolo. You seem to be quite the talented warrior for someone your age." Mr. Invader commended Goku on his various accomplishments. Piccolo seemed to vaguely resemble that of a Namekian from what he heard, but he didn't bother mentioning that detail. All he needed to know was that Earth did, in fact, have encounters with alien species other than his own. The question was: how many?
Goku simply smirked. "Are you planning to fight me too? Cause if so, I'd be more than happy to take you on."
"Absolutely not!"
Goku spun around to see Chi-Chi flying into the building on Nimbus. She leapt off the magical cloud and stomped over to Goku in an angry fashion.
"Gah! C-Chi-Chi, I can explain! These guys took me by surprise…and…"
Chi-Chi abruptly pulled him into a tight embrace and with tears in her eyes. Her arms were beginning to crush his body from the firm squeeze alone.
"Oh, Goku! I was so worried!" Chi-Chi tearfully proclaimed. She inspected Goku's body for injuries. "Are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?"
"W-Worried? What are you talking about, Chi?"
"That big crash, silly! I saw you stop the car just before it hit the ground! That couldn't have been easy."
Goku shrugged with little concern. "Nah, I'm fine. I just knocked it away with my hand and blew it up. It was no biggie, really."
"Well, you still shouldn't get yourself caught up with such a reckless situation. That's why you shouldn't waste your time fighting…whoever this thing is!" Chi-Chi accusatively glared at the Oni.
Mr. Invader slightly deflated at Chi-Chi's aggressive attitude. "Erm…this thing has a name, you know. It's Invader."
"Tch. I don't really care who you are. Anyone who messes with my Goku will have to deal with me first!" Chi-Chi growled as she positioned herself into a fighting stance.
Mr. Invader immediately raised his hands up in surrender. "Woah, woah, woah! Slow down a bit, miss! I have no intention of fighting your…erm…"
"Fiancé." Chi-Chi sniffed.
"Right. I have no intention of fighting your fiancé, Goku, in a one-on-one battle. That's not the reason King Furry brought you here."
""You don't?"" Goku and Chi-Chi asked in unison. Goku's tone was comparatively more disappointed than Chi-Chi's.
"Not at all. Even I'm smart enough to realize that a fighter of Goku's caliber would defeat me easily." Mr. Invader acknowledged in slight embarrassment. "No, what I wish to do is have you decide the fate of your planet through a one-week long game of tag."
Chi-Chi deadpanned. "Tag? You're joking?"
"He's not, my dear. Once Goku grabs the horns of his opponent, Mr. Invader and his army will leave the planet quietly. It's as simple as it sounds." King Furry explained.
Goku lightly stroked his chin in befuddlement. "Then, all I have to do is grab your horns and I win?"
"Oh no. I'm not the person you'll be chasing. I have someone else in mind for your opponent." Mr. Invader corrected him. As if on cue, the building began to lightly shake to-and-fro.
"Ah, perfect timing. She's coming in right now."
"She?" Goku asked.
Before their very eyes, the clouds in the sky turned dark purple and swirled around each other. From the center, Mr. Invader's spaceship emerged via a faint glow of yellow light. Lightning struck throughout the sky as it stood directly above Central City and King Furry's palace.
As with Mr. Invader's first arrival, a much larger thunderbolt was shot from the bottom of the ship. It hit the center of the room, sending King Furry, Chi-Chi, and the two soldiers flying. Goku, on the other hand, managed to stand perfectly in place for the most part. That is, until Chi-Chi clung onto his body to stop herself from moving any further.
"Gah!" She squeaked. She wrapped her arms around Goku's neck, causing him to almost fall flat on his back.
"Oomph! Simmer down, Chi-Chi! It's only a little lightning!" He exclaimed.
Goku then gently set Chi-Chi back on the ground. He looked up to see a young girl with green hair materialize from the lightning in a flash of green energy.
"Sorry to keep you waiting! I'm your opponent, Lum!" The Oni princess introduced herself. She placed one hand on her hip and suggestively winked at Goku.
Chi-Chi, noticing that Lum was wearing nothing, but a tiger fur bikini, practically shook with rage.
"Oh, like hell she is!" She mentally glowered. Goku, on the other hand, didn't care much about Lum's appearance and just acted like his usual self.
"Er…hey. I'm Son Goku, or Goku for short." He replied.
"Mm. Who knew the one challenging me would be so handsome?" Lum thought. She glanced from head to toe at Goku's muscular build and lightly blushed.
"Hiya, Goku! It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." She beamed. She batted her eyelashes, which proceeded to confuse Goku even more.
"She's my daughter, in case you're wondering. You just have to grab her cute little horns and you'll win the game. Though, she isn't one to be underestimated, so be careful." Mr. Invader explained.
"Teehee. He's right. I'm not all that easy to catch." Lum giggled. She then snaked her hands around Goku's arm. "But do try to be gentle with me during the match, kay?"
Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes and lightly shoved Lum away from Goku. This action caught King Furry and his men completely off-guard.
"Back up, sister! I'm Goku's fiancée, so hands off!" Chi-Chi grunted. Lum didn't look all that convinced.
"Tsk. I don't see your name on him. How about you learn some manners, old lady?" Lum scoffed with a smug look on her face.
"Old…OLD LADY?! Grrrgh! That's it! You're asking for it, brat!" Chi-Chi's ki skyrocketed as she balled her fists and prepared to pounce on Lum. "I'll finish this stupid game of tag right here and now!"
"Hold her down, men! Hold her down!" King Furry hurriedly ordered. The two soldiers grabbed Chi-Chi's arms and held her back with immense difficulty.
"Lemme go! That witch needs to be taught a lesson about public decency and—" King Furry placed a hand over Chi-Chi's mouth to keep her quiet.
"Sorry about that, guys. Chi-Chi can have a pretty bad temper sometimes." Goku nervously scratched the back of his head.
"No worries, my boy. Lum instigated your lady friend a bit too, so it's not entirely her fault." Mr. Invader assured him. He then gave Lum a stern glare, much to her annoyance. She stuck up her nose and looked away. "Where would you like the game to be held, King Furry?"
"Holding it here in Central City should suffice. I'll personally announce it to the rest of the world on TV and make this a public event. That shouldn't take too long."
"Good, good! Lum should be able to wait a little bit until then. Right, sweetie?" Mr. Invader asked. Lum looked somewhat disappointed but changed her tune once she snuck a peak at Goku's face.
"Yeah. I guess that's okay with me." Lum sighed with a slight shrug of her shoulders. "Don't disappoint me, Goku. I have high expectations for you."
"Same with you, Lum. Let's make this a fair match." Goku gave her a challenging smirk. Lum just winked him at again and walked off with her father. For a second, Goku could have sworn he saw her feet levitating above the ground as she parted.
King Furry then removed his hand from Chi-Chi's mouth. "My apologies for that, Miss Chi-Chi. I just couldn't afford a chance of you offending Mr. Invader and his daughter. They're threatening to invade the planet, after all."
"No need to apologize, King Furry. I let my…anger get the better of me there." Chi-Chi bowed to the monarch apologetically. "Though, that Lum girl really had some nerve. That overconfidence of hers won't do much good against Goku."
"And that's why we have nothing to worry about. Goku's faced far more challenging opponents than this flirty, teenage girl, so he'll win for certain." King Furry smiled in relief.
"Though, is it really such a good idea to broadcast all of this on TV? I'm not used to seeing so many people watch me fight." Goku pointed out in reluctance.
"I see what you mean, lad, but this time around, I want you to receive proper credit for saving the world. It's the least I can do for the immense bravery and courage you've shown these past few years." King Furry said as he clasped Goku on the shoulder in gratitude.
"If that's what you think, then why not?" Goku replied with a carefree grin. "Though, how many people are going to attend my game of tag with Lum anyway? A hundred? Or a thousand?"
Chi-Chi and King Furry knowingly glanced at one another. They had a feeling Goku didn't know the exact population of Earth and how unbelievably high it was. For his sake, they decided to spare him that information for the time being.
"Erm…you'll find out once the game begins. Just sit tight and relax with Chi-Chi. I'll call you once we're ready to start." King Furry warmly suggested.
"Cool. Thanks a lot, King Furry." Goku grinned.
"Of course." King Furry said. He then made his way to the castle's recording studio with both guards in toe.
Goku sat down in a chair with Chi-Chi close beside him. "Man, this turned out to be a pretty crazy day, huh?"
"That's honestly an understatement." Chi-Chi giggled in discomfort. She then nervously played with a strand of her hair, blushing. "Though, I have to ask, Goku. Did you…um…"
"Yeah?"
"Did you notice anything…interesting about that Lum girl when you were talking to her? Anything…attractive at all?" Chi-Chi asked. She subtly gestured to her chest to emphasize what she was referring to. Goku, of course, didn't pick up on this hint.
"Apart from her strange, almost electric ki signature, not really. I just noticed that she was staring at me a lot for some reason." Goku noted in puzzlement. Maybe there was something on his face. "Why do you ask, Chi-Chi?"
Chi-Chi simply rested her head on Goku's shoulder and lovingly sighed. He just confirmed everything she wanted to know and then some.
"No reason. I just wanted to hear your thoughts." She whispered.
Goku looked down at the girl and lightly grinned. A part of him almost felt…content having Chi-Chi by his side like this.
"Ah, okay." He whispered back. They continued to stay like that for a little while longer.
Approximately a few hours later in Central City
After King Furry's global announcement was broadcast on television, billions of people flew to Central City in droves. Every single road needed to be cleared out just to accommodate this massive audience, causing one single street to be the main location for Goku and Lum's game. They stood in the exact center of town while everyone closely observed their every action from the sidelines.
Up above, news helicopters flew through the sky in order to record each event as it took place in real time. One helicopter labeled ZTV was occupied by a television announcer with greasy, black hair, glasses, and a black suit. He also had a thin moustache and a gray microphone that he held ridiculously close to his mouth.
"Alright, folks! Today, the tag game of the century, with the lives of billions of people at stake, will officially begin right smack dab in the middle of the Earth's capital, Central City!" He announced with overblown enthusiasm and charisma. "I, the great Jimmy Firecracker, will be commentating on this crucial event in human history, which will more than likely be the highlight of my entire career thus far!"
His cameramen captured different shots of the crowd and city as their helicopter kept moving. One of them noticed some people running and screaming from a blonde woman who was firing multiple bullets into the air. Her long hair was tied down by a red bandana.
"Ay, get a move on, people! Make way, make way! We're friends of Earth's savior here!" The woman, Launch, shouted. Following closely behind her were Krillin, Bulma, Yamcha, Puar, Oolong, Master Roshi, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and a now nervous Chi-Chi.
"She does know the King of the Earth is observing all of this, right?" Krillin whispered over to Tien. He was a bald twenty-year-old man wearing the same martial arts gi as Goku.
Tien grimaced. He was a tall man with a third eye in the center of his forehead. "Are you going to tell her that?"
The group stopped in the front of the whole crowd. Despite the questionable legality of Launch's actions, they had to admit that they worked nearly 100% of the time, especially during the World Martial Arts Tournament.
"Ignoring the crazed lunatic with a gun screaming nonsense down below, let's move onto announcing the competitors of this astounding match!" Jimmy Firecracker cockily announced. A stray bullet from Launch's gun then shot up and almost hit Jimmy square in the chin. "Eep!"
"I heard that, four-eyes!" Launch growled.
Bulma facepalmed. She had short blue hair, blue eyes, and red lipstick on. "That's good enough, Launch. Put the gun away."
Launch rolled her eyes and tucked away the handgun. "Alright, alright. Killjoy…"
The rest of the audience all looked at Launch in fear, much to the rest of the Dragon Team's chagrin. They really couldn't seem to take her anywhere without causing a scene.
"Someone should lock that maniac up and throw away the key…" Jimmy grumbled as he adjusted his glasses. "A-Anyway…on one side, we have the beautiful, yet mischievous alien girl, Lum Invader!"
"Yoohoo! Hello there, Earth people!" Lum giggled. While hopping in place, she winked and blew kisses at the human boys in the crowd.
"All hail our goddess!" A kid in glasses pledged aloud.
"We're not worthy! We're not worthy!" Another kid bowed down in admiration of Lum's beauty.
"Please step on me, Lum! I need it!" A third screamed in desperation. He had comical tears going down his cheeks.
Krillin furrowed his eyebrows in disgust. "Geez. Are these creeps for real?"
"They've actually got a point there, Krillin. I wouldn't mind playing a personal game of tag with her myself. Ehehehe!" Goku's martial arts instructor, Master Roshi, cackled perversely. He focused squarely on Lum's breasts, causing Bulma, Chi-Chi, and Launch to collectively bash him upside the head.
"Shut up and cheer for Goku, you dirty old man!" Bulma screeched angrily.
"Good thing they didn't notice me looking. Hehe." Oolong thought. He sniggered as he watched Lum bounce up and down nearby.
Launch then cocked her gun and smirked evilly. "That goes for you too, Porky. Don't make me cook bacon out of you."
"Y-Yes, ma'am!" Oolong gulped as looked up into the sky. Puar just shook his head disapprovingly in response.
"And on the other side, we have the simpleminded champion of the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament and Demon King Piccolo's confirmed killer, Son Goku!" Jimmy Firecracker announced. Mostly everybody on in attendance cheered for Goku, especially his closest friends and allies from past adventures. This included Bora, Upa, Suno, Android 8, and many others.
Goku cracked his knuckles and took a look around. "Man, there's a whole lot more people on Earth than I realized. Wish King Furry could have warned me beforehand."
"Do your best, sweetie! I know you can do it!" Chi-Chi cheered.
"Aw, yeah! Kick her ass, Goku!" Launch yelled as she clutched Oolong underneath her arm and punched him in the face.
"Shhh! Quiet down, Launch! This isn't that type of match!" Chiaotzu requested that she calm down. He was small, eternally youthful boy with white skin and red cheeks.
"Pfft. Who cares? Goku's still going to serve this little bimbo on a silver platter!" Launch confidently declared.
Lum bared her fangs in anger. Her green hair slightly flared up with bolts of electricity as well. "Bimbo, huh? Hrggh! I'll show you!"
She continued to hop in place and conserve her energy. Goku, at the same time, stretched his legs and loosened some of the joints in his arms.
"It appears our two competitors are performing some short stretches before the match begins." Jimmy Firecracker continued his commentary. "Oh, and here we are, people! King Furry himself is about to fire the starter pistol. He's accompanied by Lum's father and Earth's potential alien overlord, Mr. Invader."
As described, King Furry and Mr. Invader were standing on a gray pedestal behind the two challengers.
"Despite the circumstances of this competition, I still want this to be a nice, clean, and safe match. Is that understood?" King Furry asked.
"Yep." Goku nodded.
"You've got it, Mr. Doggie!" Lum giggled.
"M-Mr. what now?" King Furry stammered with a light flush over his blue fur. "Eh, whatever. I'll allow it just this once…"
He then held up the starter pistol and prepared to fire it.
"On your marks, get set…"
Goku crouched down in preparation to dash forward while Lum kept hopping in place like before.
"Go!"
Goku sprinted so fast that to Lum and the audience, it appeared that he completely vanished into thin air. Fortunately, Lum was able to react at just the last second.
"Yikes! H-He's fast!" Lum muttered. She backflipped into the air and continued float away from Goku.
Goku then stopped running to look up at Lum. He assumed this was one of the abilities native to Lum and Mr. Invader's race.
"I-I can't believe what I'm seeing. First, Goku becomes completely invisible and now, Lum is able to fly without wings or so much as a jetpack!" Jimmy Firecracker gasped in abject disbelief. "This is truly a match for the history books, folks! The question: what will happen next?"
"So, you can fly, huh? I wasn't expecting that." Goku said.
"I bet you wish you did your homework before the match began, hm? Hehe." Lum mischievously winked in midair.
"Well, I was never really one to do homework, so this actually make things a whole lot more interesting." Goku beamed in excitement. "Now, I'll show you what I'm capable of."
He then charged up his ki and flew directly in front of Lum. He was surrounded by a nearly invisible white aura.
"What?! You can fly too?" Lum gasped.
"There's more to it than that, but yeah, I can." Goku replied. Lum then tried to fly away, but Goku was simply too fast. He vanished and reappeared directly above Lum's head.
Lum widened her eyes in dismay. "Oh no…!"
Goku then grabbed ahold of Lum's yellow horns and said, "Welp, looks like I win."
A large party ball was dropped, causing everyone on Earth to explode with immense happiness and amazement. Lum's new fanbase, in contrast, broke down into bitter tears for their disgraced idol.
"Unbelievable, folks! Son Goku has managed to save the Earth on the very first day of the race, and by flying in the flippin' air no less! Incredible! It's simply incredible! Like the firecracker in my name, it's over in an instant! I've never seen anything quite like it before!" Jimmy Firecracker passionately expressed his admiration for Goku's performance.
The Dragon Team, of course, were the most vocal in their praise of Goku. This particularly included Launch, who was firing rounds into the air out of sheer delight.
"That's my boy right there! I knew he had it in him!" Launch snickered happily. Tien and Chiaotzu then silently agreed with one another, and tickled Launch's nose with a stray piece of confetti that fell.
"Hey! What do you two bozos think you're…Ah…Ah...Ahchoo!" Launch powerfully sneezed. She suddenly dropped her gun and had her hair change from blonde to blue.
"Huh? Did Goku win something just now?" Launch's nice personality obliviously asked in a quiet, sweet voice.
Back with Goku, he finally removed his hands from Lum's horns. Lum, however, was frozen in place from shock.
"This Goku guy…caught me that fast…?!" Lum thought, having a difficult telling if this actually happened or not. "No one's ever managed to catch me in a single day. Not even Rei could do that back home."
She rubbed her blue eyes and took another close look at Goku's features. Although he wasn't all that intelligent based on her father's brief description, Goku appeared to be kind, handsome, and incredibly strong all at the same time.
"He's so…so…"
"Amazing…" Lum swooned out loud.
Goku titled his head to the side. "Did you say something, Lum?"
"I-I mean, you were amazing out there, Goku. You being able to grab my horns that fast was nothing short of astounding." Lum praised with a genuine smile on her face. "Thank you for giving me a chance to challenge you."
"You're welcome! I'm interested to see more of what your capable of with that big lightning power and stuff. We should do this again someday." Goku happily suggested. He was interested to see how strong Lum could become with proper training.
Lum shyly nodded her head. "I'd like that, actually."
Both competitors then landed back on the ground as everyone applauded their short, yet sweet performance.
"Great! Though, I'd not sure how we'd be able to do that with the whole marriage situation going on. This new relationship stuff can get really confusing, you know?" Goku offhandedly mentioned his upcoming marriage to Chi-Chi. Unfortunately for him, Lum took this reference the wrong way.
"Marriage situation? Does that mean you…you…" She stammered as her cheeks blushed a light pink. Goku wasn't sure why Lum's face was acting up like that, but he continued the conversation anyway.
"Uh…yeah. I'm getting married soon. I'm still not sure what it really means, if I'm being honest, but you can come to it if you want, I guess." Goku replied honestly.
Lum shyly looked down at the floor and rocked herself back and forth. She then batted her eyelashes at Goku in a manner that screamed nothing, but the utmost love and admiration.
"If you really insist, Goku…Then, yes! I will marry you!" Lum cried out in pure happiness.
"Wait, huh?" Goku gaped in surprise. Where in the world did that come from?
""W-What?!"" Mr. Invader and King Furry choked out in unison.
"WHAT THE HELL DID SHE JUST SAY?!" Chi-Chi screamed bloody murder. It looked as if she were about to rain hellfire down upon Lum in that precise instance.
"Darling!" Lum swooned. She then wrapped her arms around Goku and gave him a big, affectionate hug.
A team of new reporters then hounded Goku and Lum for details about their new "relationship".
"Are you actually going to marry, Lum, after this match?" A reporter demanded to know.
"Uh…well, I think I was getting married, but not to—"
Lum tightly wrapped her arms around one of Goku's and said, "Yes…he is. Back on my planet, Oni, marriage proposals are sacred. Now that Goku is engaged to me, I'll dedicate my entire life to living with him forever! And nothing will ever come between us from this day forward!"
Jimmy Firecracker exaggeratedly wiped a stray tear from his eye. "You've heard it here first, folks! Goku and Lum, once fated rivals from different worlds, are now officially getting married! Isn't their newfound love something special?"
"NO, IT CERTAINLY IS NOT!" Chi-Chi inhumanly screeched. She stomped over to the press and powerfully smacked a few journalists aside.
"Gah!" They screamed in pain.
"Oh boy. Poor Goku has no idea what he's in for…" Bulma stated sympathetically.
"Chi-Chi?!" Goku gulped.
"Oh, look, Darling! Your grandmother's here to give us her blessing! How sweet of her!" Lum sarcastically chuckled.
"Grrgh! I already told you before, you inconsiderate brat! Goku is mine, not yours!" Chi-Chi fumed. She pulled Goku away from Lum and stuck out her tongue.
"Oh, is that so? Well, Goku's direct proposal to me says otherwise. So, be a dear and let us be happy together, kay?" Lum hugged Goku once again and stuck out her own tongue.
"In case you don't have the memory of a goldfish, you'd remember that Goku promised to marry me fairly recently. He's mine and mine alone!" Chi-Chi brought him back to her side, causing Goku to feel a little lightheaded.
"Well, feelings can always change, so he's mine." Lum growled. Her sharp fangs were beginning to show themselves.
"Mine!"
"Mine!"
"MINE!" Chi-Chi screamed one final time.
"No! I won't let Darling leave me for some flat chested spinster! I refuse!" Lum stood in between both Goku and Chi-Chi, causing electric shocks to surge through the two of them upon contact.
"GYAAAAH!" The two screamed. It wasn't exactly painful per say, but for Goku, the electricity did still feel a tad bit strange and discombobulating.
The crowd winced as a burned Chi-Chi comically fell unconscious and Goku collapsed onto his knees.
"I-It's Goku, by the way. Not Darling…" Goku stammered in visible exhaustion. Lum then crouched down and brought Goku's face close to her chest.
"Whatever you say, my Darling Goku. Teehee." She giggled. Goku's friends looked upon Goku in a mix of sympathy and jealousy (mostly on Master Roshi's end) while a short old man expressed similar sentiments. He was a Buddhist monk named Cherry that wore green-black robes, a brown sunhat, and beaded necklace. In his right hand, he held a religious staff of sorts with golden rings on each side.
"This is fate." Cherry muttered under his breath while praying for Goku's own life. He could already tell that Goku's luck would go from bad to even worse from this point onward.
Meanwhile, Piccolo secretly observed all of this from a nearby building. He was wearing his typical white cape and turban over a purple martial arts gi. His shoes were also the same orange as always. More than anything else, he was curious to find out what the Earth's overall fate would end up being. He didn't, however, expect to see…whatever that was down there.
"Tch. Disgusting. This isn't even worth my time…" Piccolo spat in displeasure. Not even bothering to challenge Goku for revenge, the Demon King's reincarnation flew off to some other place for training and such. Anything to keep his mind off this absolute idiocy would do.
*And that's a wrap for Chapter 1! As you can probably tell, the main pairing will be Goku/Lum, but it'll start off as a love triangle between Lum and Chi-Chi at first. Chi-Chi will essentially adopt the role that Shinobu had in the original series if you've seen it before, especially with both of them having incredibly short tempers. Other female characters from Urusei Yatsura might develop feelings for Goku as well, but I'll have to see how that pans out in future chapters. The main intention of this crossover is to have it be comedic, but also expanding the worlds of Dragon Ball and Urusei Yatsura. For example, Planet Oni will be occupied by the Frieza Force, so I'll be going into detail on how massive Frieza's empire truly is and how it came to be in the first place. In that sense, Frieza will be the main antagonist, but due to his immense power, he'll mostly appear via flashbacks and brief mentions.
Bardock, Vegeta, Raditz, Nappa, and the other Saiyans will also receive some development, but I won't spoil their respective roles in this story just yet. The same thing applies to Cherry, the old man who appears at the end of this chapter. He and his niece, Sakura, will have prominent roles throughout the story that I'm currently trying to plan out as I'm rewatching Urusei Yatsura.
Anyway, I hope this wasn't a bad first chapter. If you can, leave a favorite, follow, and/or review to tell me what you think. Chapter 2 will eventually come out, but I'm not exactly sure when. I'll let you guys know sometime soon. Until then, I'll see you later. :)
