Previously on Dragon Ball, Oolong may have saved the world from Emperor Pilaf, but now that Goku has got a glimpse of the full moon, he and the rest of the gang have an all new danger to face!
The giant ape roared as he broke free from the cage he was in and walked away from it, standing taller than the palace causing the whole palace to rumble.
Yamcha: He's walking away, you guys! We better make a break for it! This place is gonna be a rubble if he doesn't change back.
Haru: Let's get going then..
As soon as the giant ape left the cage which he broke the walls into pieces, his friends wasted no time and decided to leave the cage by jumping over the wall.
Haru and Yancha were the first ones to climb the wall and they acted quickly. They climbed the wall and stood on top of it waiting for the other three to climb the wall.
Yamcha: Alright, come on, let's go! There's no time to lose!
Bulma: Well then, give me a hand here, you big lummox!
She turned to look at Yancha with an annoyed face since she was struggling to climb and get over the wall.
Yamcha: Uh.... what? Do you mean me?
Bulma: Who do you think I mean?
She asked with an annoyed voice before Oolong gave her a push sending her over the wall.
Haru: Stay calm you two. This is no time to start arguing!
Yancha: speak for yourself, I am calm!
They got down from the wall followed by Oolobg and Puar. Once all five were free from the cage, the whole place started rumbling again thanks to Goku who was smashing the palace and everything that stood in his path.
The place shook and rubble began to fall everywhere. Thy all began to scream but Luckily for them they got out of the cage just in time, but unfortunately for them, Bulma fell on the ground growling in pain.
Yamcha: Oh, Bulma! Are you okay?
They all stood behind her watching her with worried faces.
Oolong: What's the matter, kid?
Haru: That was a hard fall, are you okay?
Haru and Oolong went over to her side to try and check on her.
Bulma: It's my leg!
Haru: Let me take a look.
She groaned in pain still on the ground looking back at her leg. Haru got back and took a look at her leg. He took a look at it and saw no sign of a serious injury.
Haru: You'll be okay, it's just a hard fall. Nothing serious.
Oolong: Don't worry, I'll get you!
Oolong tried getting her up by himself but couldn't do it because of him being small she would be too heavy for him.
Oolong: Hey, Don Juan! Can't you see I need a hand here?
Oolong turned to face Yamcha with an angry face giving him an angry look.
Yamcha: I-I'm sorry, I just..... can't.
His face grew red upon looking at Bulma and his shyness of touching a girl began to kick in.
Puar: Come on, Yancha. You can do it!
Yamcha remained quite before large footsteps could be heard getting closer with each step. All five turned around only to see Goku coming their way and destroying everything in his path.
Oolong: What are you waiting for?
Puar: Come on, Yamcha!
Feeling the pressure Yamcha began to growl in frustration of not knowing what to do.
Yamcha: Oh boy! I can't!....
Haru: Oolong, catch!
Haru removed his quiver and tossed it to Oolobg who caught it.
Haru: Alright Bulma, climb on.
Haru then grabbed Bulma and helped her up before showing her his back which she climbed.
Bulma held on to Haru and they all began running before Goku could step on them and crush them.
They escaped and ran out of harms way hiding behind a wall leaving Goku to angrily start banging on his chest.
Yamcha: we did it! We did it!
Haru: That was..... close.
Bulma: Thanks Haru, I owe you one.
Haru: Don't mention it.
He let go of her and put her back down. And as for Goku who was going wild, a plane came out of nowhere and started firing at him shocking his friends.
Yamcha: Goku!
Bulma: Oh no!
Oolong: So he's a big hairy ape! That's no reason to shoot him!
They watched the plane continue to fire at him causing most of them to watch in fear of what might happen to Goku.
Goku struggled to get his hand on the plane that kept passing him and shooting from everywhere causing bim to let out an angry roar.
Haru: We've got to help him, somehow.
Before any of them could do anything to help, the plane fired a missile hitting The giant ape straight on. Seeing this got his friends worried as they watched their dear friend Goku drop to the ground unconscious.
Haru: Goku.....
Bulma: Is....is Goku dead?
Puar: Oh, Goku.....
They all watched The giant ape laying unconscious and the plane fly over his body. Seeing this annoyed Haru slightly causing him to snatched his quiver away from Oolong.
Haru: He can't be dead! We have to help him.
Yamcha: Haru! That's absurd. You can't go there, you'll just get yourself killed.
Before he could take out his bow, Yan6cha grabbed his hand not letting him go.
Haru: Then what do you want me to do? Just watch him get killed?
The plane finally dropped from the air and landed on the ground. As soon as it landed Emperor Pilaf and his henchmen got down from it standing next To the sleeping Ape
Pilaf then began to Kick the giant ape's hand, then changed it to his tail and began jumping up and down on his tail causing the ape's whole body to flinch before he woke up and angrily roared at the three.
Pilaf and his henchmen ran for their lives, and got back on the plane. Seeing their friend still alive brought a smile to their faces, especially Haru.
Bulma: He's alive!
The giant ape wasted no time and grabbed a giant rock from the destroyed palace and threw it at the plane smashing it causing damage to it.
And the rock he threw then headed for his friends who began to run for their lives as well.
Oolong: Hurry! It's coming right for us!
They barely dodged the rock missing it by an Inch. And as for the plane, it crashed on the other side causing it to explode.
Yancha: Wow, that was close.....
Oolong: No kidding! Too close!
Haru: And it doesn't look like Goku's finished yet!
They began panting heavily hiding behind the giant piece of rock Goku threw their way, which missed them by an inch.
They all turned back to the castle's direction and Goku didn't look like he was done with anything, infact, he looked like he was just getting started.
Haru: I guess we better hide out 'till morning when the moon goes down...
Oolong: Uhh, Let's go that way!
Yamcha: Yeah....
Oolong who got on his feet pointed to the other direction so they could escape, but that wasn't meant to be Once Bulma's voice was heard.
Bulam: Hey! Aren't you guys forgetting soemthing....?
They all turned back to look at her only to see her stuck under a rubble which surprised them.
Yancha: Bulam! Are you okay?!
Haru and Yamcha went over to her and tried lifting the rubble off of her so she could get out.
Haru: Yamcha! Push...!
Yancha: No, it won't budge!
They tried pushing it off her but had no luck in even moving it let alone push it.
Bulma: Oh no....
As soon as she realized she was in a bad mess the ground began to shake and the distant crashing could be heard before they all turned around and spotted the giant ape headibg their way running towards them.
Oolong: Here he comes!
Oolong's eyes nearly popped out as soon as he saw Goku running at them.
Yamcha: Quick!
Oolong and Puar joined them and tried to help them lift the rubble off of Bulma but they still had no luck.
Oolong: Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!
Oolong began to panic as Goku roared at them. After a while of pushing, Haru and Yamcha finally pushed the rubble off of Bulma who was pulled out by Oolong.
Bulma: Thanks you guys.
After they escaped the rubble they began to run and escape Goku's giant foot which nearly crushed them. As for Bulma, as soon as Goku stomped his foot on the ground the whole ground shook which got her to off balance and fall on the ground.
But before she did Goku grabbed her by her jacket worrying his friends.
Yancha: Bulma!
Bulma: Goku! Look! It's me! Put me down!
She began to struggle and scream as Goku brought her close to his mouth not listening to a word she said.
Haru: Goku, put her down!
Goku ignored Haru and roared at Bulma sending fear down her spine. She screamed so loud that she couldn't watch anymore and just fainted.
Yamcha: Haru! I guess it's up to us to save her.....
Haru: Right, let's do this!
Puar: Yamcha, didn't you say that Goku's weak point is his tail?
Yamcha: Yeah! That's it, Puar!
They both turned to look at massive tail as Haru brought out his arrows.
Haru: Alright, it's time.
Yamcha: Yeah. Time for my Wofl Fang Fist!
He punched the rubble they were close to hum and turned a massive rock into sword.
They both got down to business and ran at Goku's tail. Haru was the first to begin and fired his arrows toward his tail but the arrows just shattered into two.
Yamcha then jumped at Goku's tail and tried cutting it off but the sword that was made out of a rock just shattered into pieces.
Haru: Okay, his tail is hard.
Seeing them on his tail he tried swinging them off but they held onto his tail which made him led him to roar angrily.
Goku began jumping around with anger since Yamcha and Haru were still on his tail even after he swinged it so hard they still held onto it.
Bulma then woke up at the wrong time. She only found herself in the monkey who was jumping around's hand.
Puar: Hold on, Yamcha! We're coming!
Puar and Oolong joined in and jumped on Goku's tail. As soon as they grabbed it, the giant monkey finally came to a stop, calming down and looking tired surprising all of them.
All: Huh?
Haru: You two can transform right? Then one of you has to cut his tail off!
Yamcha: Right! Quick, Puar! Now's our chance! Turn into a giant pair of scissors and snip of his tail!
Puar: Right!
Puar wasted no time and transformed himself into a pair of scissors before he cut Goku's tail off dropping the others who held onto his tail on the ground.
Goku roared again but this time it looked like he was in pain. He let go off Bulma as soon as his tail a shut off.
Bulma: Catch me!
She screamed before Haru caught her and put her on the ground. They all then watched with confuced faces as Goku growled and blue aura surrounded him transforming him back to his normal self with no clothes on.
Haru: it's finally over....
Oolong: Well he's back to himself!
He then took a look at the tail he held in his hand.
Oolong: Uh... well almost....
The giant ape was no more, and Goku laid on the ground unconscious, snoring and sleeping peacefully.
♤♤♤
The sun rose after a long night of action, and our heroes sat and waited patiently for the sleepibg Goku to wake up.
Oolong: That was quite a predicament that Goku managed to get us into, huh?
Haru: Yeah, but if he hadn't changed into that monster we would have all been in grave danger.
Yancha: Yeah, we would have been barbecued in Pilaf's cell!
Bulma: We'd better not tell him that he stomped his grandpa to death... It would just break his little heart.
She remembers what Goku was saying about the terrible monster that comes out when the moon is full and it sends shiver to her.
Bulma: Oh.....it's just so hard to believe....
Oolong: So what's the deal? Is Goku some kind of an alien? He looks normal enough.....
Haru: Who knows. I for one, have never seen anyone with a tail before.
Yamcha: I have a feeling he will be quite normal now that his tail's been cut off.
Bulma: I sure hope so. I've got enough friends with weird hang-ups already! Not mentioning any names of course....
Their conversation was cut short as soon as they saw Goku waking up.
Oolong: Oh boy, he's waking up!
Haru: Alright everyone, act normal!
He sat up straight and yawned feeling sleepy.
Goku: Goodness!
Oolong: Good morning, kid.
Goku: HI.
Oolong: So, feeling light-hearted this morning, are we?
Goku: Yeah!
He stood up and immediately realized he had no clothes on but Bulam's jacket which he was using as a blanket.
Goku: My-My clothes are gone!
Yancha: You don't remember anything, do you, Goku?
Goku: Huh?
Haru: Yamcha.... act normal.....
Haru whispered to him making him shut up before he said anymore.
Bulma: How about sharing some of your clothes with Goku, Oolong?
Oolong: Anything but my undies, made of the finest cotton in the universe, and supremely comfortable!
Bulma: Oolong!
Oolong: Well, alright then, he can borrow my pants.
Oolong handed over his pants to go and kept the underwear he got from the Dragon on his head.
Oolong: Check him out! Now that's a a definite improvement! That's style!
He began complementing Goku as soon as he wore his pants.
Goku: Your legs are a lot shorter than mine are!
Oolong: Hey! What's with the wise-crack, huh?
Goku: Uh? W-wuh?
Oolong yelled at him and Goku stumbled backwards off balance and fell on the ground.
Oolong: Uh, didn't meant to frightem you there, kid.
Goku: You didn't. I just can't seem to stand up!
Haru: That's not too surprising. You probably just need to spend a little time learning how to balance without your tail.
Goku: Why would I wanna do that? What- oh, no way! My tails gone you guys!
He looked behind his back to try and see where his tail could have gone while his friends remained quite and just watched.
Goku: Oh, where could it have gone? I can't believe it! It's really gone you guys! I'm sure it was there last night! It just disappeared! Vanished! I don't know! Guess I should wait for it to comeback...
Hearing him say that they all dropped to the floor dumbfounded by his statement.
Oolong: You are one strange little kid, Goku.
Goku: Where's my..... uh..... Power Pole?
Yamcha: Oh, it's that way....
He points back to the castle only to find it destroyed.
Yamcha: where the castle used to be.
Goku: It's demolished! I sure hope.... my Power Pole's still out there!
He begins jogging to the castle's direction hoping to find his Power Pole!
Goku: Wah! Ow....
He fell due to his tail not being around anymore his body felt unbalanced which caused him to fall on the ground over and over again.
The others just watched him run off to the castle having nothing better to do.
Oolong: What are we gonna do now? We can't look for the Dragon Balls for a whole year.
Haru: That is true. So..... I guess we should just go our separate ways, huh?
Bulma: Well, yeah, that seems like the thing to do.
Yamcha: Hey, it's time to wake up, my furry, little friend!
He poked and shook Puar who was still asleep.
Bulma: Oh, well. I guess it's going to be a whole year before I can have my wish granted for a new boyfriend.....
Yamcha: So, I've got to spend another year acting like a lunk-head every time a pretty girl comes around.... I'll never get a girlfriend!
They both let out a confused sigh before they both turned to look at each other......
Goku finally returned carrying his Power Pole with him. He was still off-baoanace and was falling on the ground continuously.
Goku: Hey Oolong, I found it!
He then looked at Oolong with a confused face seeing him growling angrily.
Goku: Is there something bugging you, Oolong?
Oolong: Yeah, get a load of tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee!
Goku turns around only to find Yamcha and Bulma dancing around and laughing happily. Seeing this annoyed Oolong so much.
Haru: Don't mind him, Goku. He's just bitter.
Goku: It looks like they're hearing music..
He closed his eyes and tried to hear what music they were hearing and listening to, but heard no music at all.
Goku: Boy, that's sure weird.....
Haru: Yeah that is definitely weird. But don't let it get to your head, I don't get it either.
Oolong: Uhm, ahem! I don't mean to interrupt you guys, but um....
Oolong spoke and tried to break their happy, fun time. But no one paid any mind to him.
Bulma turned to look at her friends along with Yamcha who was laughing and had a faint blush on his cheeks.
Bulma: I think Yamcha and I've decided that we'd like to spend a little more time together....
As soon as she said that Yamcha started laughing against clearly getting nervous.
Bulma: So, why don't we all go back to the city? Pretty cool idea, huh?
Goku: That sounds good. But I think I'm gonna go to Master Roshi's and train like grandpa did. I wanna get strong!
Bulma: But Goku, you're the strongest kid I know....
Goku: Yeah, but when I hit that castle it didn't even shake! So if someone else can come and tear the whole thing down, I really need to go and train!
Oolong: What are you talking about, Goku? You're the one who destr-mmmmph!
Before he could even finish his sentence Puat jumped from nowhere and covered his mouth shutting him up and giggling nervously getting Goku even more confused.
Bulma: We'll miss you, Goku.. And what about you Oolong?
Oolobg: Well, I dunno. Do you think I look like a big city pig?
Bulma: Are you kidding? You'll be the talk of the town!
Haru: Especially with that underwear on your head!
Haru joked about the underwear on his head. Hearing that got Oolong angry since he was making fun of the underwear on his head.
Oolong: You're just jealous 'coz I got these from the dragon!
They all laughed at his response, enjoying his little outburst.
Oolong: Oh well, I guess I'll go.... You guys need me!
Bulma: And what about you Haru?
Haru: Thanks for the generous offer, but I'm not a city guy. I'd rather go back to the mountains and go back home.
Bulma: Okay no problem. We'll miss you Haru.
Haru: Same here.
Goku: I know!
The two then turned to look at Goku who seemed excited.
Goku: When a year goes by, let's look for the Dragon Balls again!
Hearing that got Bulma and Yamcha giggling.
Bulma: We don't need the Dragon Balls anymore, Goku!
They began to laugh looking at each other confusing Goku even more. Seeing this disgusted Oolong and he began to spit.
Oolong: Despicable!
Goku: Hey, how will I ever be able to find my Grandpa's Dragon Ball if you're not there with your radar, Bulma?
Haru: He does have a good point.
Bulma: Well, I'll tell you what, kid. How about I give you this radar as a going away present, to remind you of all the good times we had together.
She takes out her radar and hands it over to him.
Goku: Oh wow, thank you.
Yamcha: Well, here goes.
He brought out a Dyno-cap and a flying jet came out of the Dyno-cap.
Yamcha: I guess this is good bye, you two.
He extended his hand to them which they shook.
Bulma: You know I'll never forget you two.
Goku: Aww.
Haru: Same here, Bulma.
Goku: Flying Nimbus!
The Nimbus came soaring through the sky and landed next to Goku.
Goku: Hey-hey!
Goku waated no time and got on the cloud whuch began to float him up.
Goku: Alright Nimbus, to Master Roshi's and step on it!
Haru: You get 'em, kid!
Goku: You too, Haru!
Yamcha: You sure you don't want us to drop you off Haru?
Yamcha asked Haru who was getting himself ready to leave.
Haru: Yeah, I'm positive. These vehicles just make me sit all day. I would rather walk and go for an adventure.
Yamcha: Alright then, take care my friend!
They waved each other off as Yamcha and his crew got on the plane and took off followed by Goku on his Fkying cloud.
Haru: Who knew life could be full of surprises! I may have not been able to collect all seven Mystucal Balls! But I sure met a bunch of interesting people.
As he watched them fly off in opposite directions, Haru turned to the other side and walked away.
Okay guys that is the first arc of many done. I hope you enjoy reading this chapter, it's probably the longest one yet. I hope you guys have enjoyed reading the story so far. Don't go anywhere because soon Haru's skills will be put to the test once he sets off on his journey! A new day dawns, and a new adventure begins!
