Rise of the Dragon
Placing the tired Goku on the floor next to the girl, the seriously injured Yamcha collapsed onto the ground, keeping himself sitting straight by leaning against a wall. Naruto and Sasuke looked directly at the pink haired girl and immediately recognized her. Naruto yells out, "Sakura!" She says back in surprise, "N-Naruto, Sasuke… h-how did you get here?" Naruto confidently says, "To rescue you of course!" Sakura immediately says with confusion in her voice, "Then why does it look like you're stuck in here with me?" Naruto takes a step back and nervously scratches the back of his head and says, "Umm, this is just a setback." Sasuke let out a sigh of relief but didn't let the relief in his eyes show. She then began to ask about their companions before recognizing Goku. "W-wait, isn't that the kid who chased us?"
She immediately stood up and took a few steps away from him. Naruto places both of his hands in front of him, palms open trying to calm her. "W-wait a sec Sakura." Sasuke calmly said, "Don't worry about him, he's not our enemy anymore." Sakura sheepishly said, "Y-yeah." Before taking another step closer to her team. Naruto then asked, "Sakura, that small bastard, told us you heard something about something and captured you. How'd that happen?" Naruto's explanation was lacking, confusing Sakura greatly, though she got the gist of it and explained her situation, "I was on my way to camp when I heard some familiar voices. I tracked them and found that dog and that Mai girl talking about Pilaf and how he was gonna become emperor with the balls.
It was a little strange but by the time I realized I wasn't supposed to hear that they saw me and with a press of a button they sent out this big mechanical thing which grabbed me. I managed to drop the balls before I was grabbed but since then they have thrown me in here and every now and then would give me food and water." After the long explanation the screen in the middle of the wall turned on showing Pilaf's grinning face. Pilaf immediately said while sounding high and mighty, "Well hello again, how are your accommodations?" Goku answered honestly, "Dusty." Pilaf was dumbfounded by the genuine answer and said, "I wasn't being serious!" He then cleared his throat and said, "Now, for real this time, I have all the Dragon Balls! Soon you all will be working under me as the new emperor of the world!" Naruto yelled back, "Just you wait, we're gonna get out of here and then I'm gonna beat your face in!"
Pilaf laughed and said, "Like I said last time, watch what you say to me. You don't know how cruel a ruler I can be. You could be stuck cleaning the toilets for the rest of your miserable life!" Sasuke, feeling confused by the example, thinks to himself, "Is that the worst he could think of?" Naruto yelled back, "You bastard!" Equally confused by Naruto's reaction Sasuke looked at him with a confused expression. Suddenly a thought pops into his head and he immediately asks, "You probably saw us coming a long time ago, why didn't you use Sakura as leverage?" Pilaf let out a confused, "Huh."
Before nervously saying, "Oh, um, oh, because I'm not that cruel. I'd never do something as cowardly as that, no ha, heh." Sasuke saw right through that bizarrely worded excuse. He thought to himself, "There was never any danger. This idiot didn't even consider he could use Sakura against us. If he wanted to, he could have stopped us right after we entered that dining hall." Pilaf cut the conversation short by saying, "Anyway I'd better go become emperor. Enjoy Latrine duty you blonde brat!" Naruto then yelled, "Damn it!" as Pilaf turned the tv off. Yamcha then said, "We need to find a way to break out and with my arm busted up I won't be of much help. Bulma then said, "Don't worry about that." She then used the med kit they brought with them and used bandages to create a sling which allowed him to hang his arm without hurting it. He nervously thanked her which created a little bit of tension between them. Sasuke saw the interaction and smiled recognizing the obvious romantic situation unfolding before her.
Sasuke ignored the interaction and instead started planning their escape. He thought about using paper bombs but thought back to Yamcha's injury and Naruto's statements during their fight with Spear. Using them could risk the health of their more injured companions, or even their healthy but physically weaker allies so he decided on a better strategy. Sasuke approached Goku. He said, "Do you think you could use that technique you used earlier on Breaker earlier?" Goku immediately said, "The Kamehameha wave? He then thought to himself for a short moment and said, "I'm not at full strength yet but I could try." He raised his hands up to his neck and clenched them, feeling ready prepared.
Sasuke paused for a moment and then while using his Sharingan looked to the wall he wanted destroyed, pointing to it he said, "Aim for that wall, it will lead outside." Yamcha asked, "How do you know?" Sasuke immediately answered, "I can see Pilaf on the other side of it, we don't have time to explain we need to hurry!" Everyone quickly relocated to the opposite of that wall while Goku prepared to fire a Kamehameha wave at it. Goku crouched down and twisted his body to his right while cupping his hands behind him and began to chant, "Ka-me-ha-me" a blue sphere of energy appeared between his palms much smaller and less bright than the last attempt.
Suddenly Goku yelled out while thrusting his palms forward, "HAAA" the ball of energy turned into a relatively smaller beam than last time but still hit the wall hard. Suddenly the light faded, and everyone's heart dropped when they saw it only made a small hole. This is when Naruto said, "No, we have a chance." Confused, everyone looked as Naruto approached Oolong and looked at Puar and then back at Oolong, he said, "You said you and Oolong could transform right?" Puar said, "Yeah, we went to the same transformation school." Oolong hesitantly said, "I don't like where this is going." Becoming a little afraid of what Naruto was about to suggest. Naruto then said, "Then you two turns into a bat or something that can fit through that hole." Sasuke looked surprised as Naruto actually gave out a good idea. Oolong looked apprehensive at the prospect of going out there. Oolong muttered, "Now wait a minute."
Bulma suddenly jumped to her feet and said angrily, "You are our last chance, get out there and be a hero!" Puar joined in saying he's not going alone. Yamcha added, "Yeah, Puar will help you now hurry!" Oolong looked extremely hesitant until Bulma said, "Hurry up before I make the piggy sound." She then began to chant, "Pigi, Pigi, Pigi." As if on command Oolong gave in saying, "Alright, Alright already I'll do it." He then muttered, "You damn slavedriver." Oolong yelled out, "Transform!" Suddenly in a puff of smoke he transformed into a bat-pig hybrid but was small enough to fit in the hole easily while Sasuke worked on the hole. Puar did the same but instead turned into a bird and followed him out. Just outside however Pilaf with Mai and Shu had gathered the Dragon Balls, Pilaf yelled out, "Dragon, come forth and grant me my wish!" Suddenly the balls shone with a bright orange and yellow light and soon the sky grew dark with storm clouds and out of the balls Shenron appeared from the orbs covered in lightning and a magnificent, golden aura.
Shenron appears as a serpentine Dragon that had four relatively short limbs with four clawed fingers per each hand. He asked in a deep, menacing voice, "I am Shenron, you who have summoned me. Come, tell me your wish. I will grant any one wish you desire." Goku and everyone else prepares to panic as Sasuke sets several paper bombs along the hole in the wall and after doing so, they stand in the farthest corner of the room. Oolong meanwhile realizes it's too late since the Dragon has been summoned but he has a thought, "Wait… That's it, so long as I make a wish before he does."
Oolong turns back and charges toward the Dragon as fast as his feet could carry him. Sasuke says, "Goku, try to fire one more Kamehameha wave. It should protect us from the paper bomb blast." Goku, despite feeling winded from that last blast, immediately charges up another Kamehameha wave while Sasuke forms a one-handed hand sign. Pilaf is in the middle of saying, "R-right my wish is…" Right then an explosion is heard behind him which distracts him for a moment, and he sees a large hole in his castle on the ground level. Right then Oolong jumped in kicking Pilaf who landed face first into the dirt, the pig yelled, "I wish for a girl's pair of panties!" Pilaf gasps as he registers the wish and watches as Shenron's red eyes glow for a moment and then out of literal know here a pair of panties float down from the night sky onto the perverted pig's head. From a nearby location to the dragon in the cover of the castle the two Anbu shinobi lean and stay hidden realizing the day has been saved thanks to a perverted pig. They planned to jump in after seeing the dragon but luckily for them Oolong got there first.
Everyone takes a step outside to see Pilaf's ambitions fall flat as the Dragon speaks once more, "Your Wish has been Granted. Farewell." Suddenly the Dragon turned into yellow and orange energy which entered the Dragon Balls which then floated high into the sky and then scattered in all directions soon disappearing from view. Goku frantically looks around and asks in a distressed voice, "No, they flew away." Bulma then re-explained, "Yeah after a wish is made the Dragon Balls scatter all over the world." Goku frantically says, "But does that mean Grandpa's too?" Bulma confirmed that is the case, Goku looks down dejectedly.
Everyone held sympathy for Goku's situation, but Sasuke put their focus back on Pilaf. Pilaf looks at the sky while the balls fly far away and soon enough his face turns red and he yells out while pointing at Oolong, "Get that pig, I want him for breakfast!" Shu and Mai give chase while Sasuke says, "Come on Naruto, it's our turn." Naruto stood by Sasuke as they made a B-line for Shu and Mai. Blocking their path, they both give Shu and Mai a good hit to their face knocking them onto their backs. Sasuke said while pulling on his wrist bands, "You'll pay for humiliating us!" Sasuke could feel his shoulder was better already. Pilaf then said as the rest of the group joined with Naruto and Sasuke, "You two are useless." He then gets a button out and while pressing it says, "Breaker come on out!"
