Chapter 8: Dragon Ball on Mt Frying Pan

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Two days of travel later, a huge flaming mountain was in sight. Bulma frowned “The Dragon Ball is up on that mountain.”

Oolong’s eyes widened “That's Mt Frying Pan, the fearsome Gyumao lives upon that mountain. To go up there will cost us our lives.”

Sunset frowned “We will fight him if things go bad but honestly if I lived on a giant flaming mountain I would be pretty pissed as well. I’m sure if we can find a way to put it out, we might be able to get the Dragon Ball without a fight.”

Oolong shouted “You are crazy to go up there!”

Puar teased “What! Are you scared!”

Yamcha groaned “Quiet down Puar, it’s bad enough that I have to waste time on this nonsense!”

Jackie punched him in the stomach “You brought this on yourself. Now stop whining or else we will have a serious problem.” They drove along the curved mountain path, they soon arrived in what appeared to be an abandoned village.

Goku looked at the mountain castle that covered in flames “How are we going to put that out?”

Sunset smiled before closing her eyes as both her hands glowed a bright teal, the huge fire glowed with the same colour before dissipating. Sunset smiled “Just like that, I have always had a way with fire.”

A massive armoured muscular figure approaches from behind them, his horns sticking out of a large helmet. Bulma turns around and bows “You must be Gyumao.”

Gyumao looked around “Which one of you saved my castle from the fire?”

Goku pointed to Sunset “It was my mother over there.”

Gyumao walked over to her with a smile “I must thank you but first I must inform my daughter. I will return.” The group of seven waited for the Gyumao to return, two hours later he returned with a young girl wearing as a pink helmet, gloves and boots as well as blue bikini. Sunset raised an eyebrow at this, she was eight years old and dressed like that.

Sunset shook her head as Gyumao approached her “I am seeking to reward you with something from my vault.”

Sunset frowned “I’m seeking one of the magical wish granting orbs known as Dragon Balls. I was wondering if you have one in your castle.”

Gyumao nodded “Follow me, I’ll leave me daughter with your group. I have something I wish to discuss with you on the way.” The pair entered his mighty castle, he pushed open the massive doors revealing a massive hall with a rich red carpet covering the floor. Huge stone pillars supported the roof. As they walked across the hall, Gyumao smiled “I was wondering if I could arrange a marriage between my daughter and your son.”

Sunset frowned “My son is four years older than your daughter and I’ve never been one for the arranged marriage thing. My birth parents tried to do the same for me and I hated it. I haven’t spoken to them in several decades.”

Gyumao frowned “Who is the father?”

Sunset grimaced “I took him in as my own, I don’t know his birth parents but I have done the best to take care of him. Still I don’t want him to dive into this, when he chooses to marry someone then he will.”

Gyumao nodded “You are quite mature for one so young, such words would usually come from someone much older.”

Sunset laughed “My species doesn’t reach physical maturity until we are eighty, I am seventy two years old even if I don’t look it. One day I will find a father for Goku and maybe even a sibling but that will be later at a later date.”

Gyumao chuckled “You are certainly an interesting one, Chi-Chi would do well to be like you.”

Sunset smiled “So that’s your daughter’s name.” She then frowned “Still I think she shows off a little too much skin, there are too many people who would try to do untoward things to your daughter if she continues to dress like that. I suggest if she leaves the mountain she should dress more conservatively.”

Gyumao nodded “I understand.” They entered the throne room, the same carpet covered the floor but a huge throne of gold and stone was covered in soft velvet. Gyumao bowed “The Dragon Ball is in the treasure vault. I will retrieve it.”

Sunset waited as Gyumao retrieved the Dragon Ball. When he returned it was like the others but with six stars. Sunset smiled as as he handed her the Dragon Ball “Thanks Gyumao.”

Gyumao smiled “You freed my castle, that is more than enough for me.”

They exited the castle only to find Chi-Chi pouting as Goku shook his head “She wants to marry me, I don’t even know what that is.”

Sunset deadpanned “You are way too young to even consider that, when the time is right I will explain it. Trust me, you will understand when the time is right.” Goku nodded, he wasn’t particularly interested in what she was talking about.

The group of seven left the mountain, Bulma frowned as she looked at the Dragon Radar “The last one is far west. We have a long journey ahead of us.” She expanded the radius by turning a dial, this will be a long trip. A few days later they arrived at a small town, their vehicle was running out of fuel.

Oolong frowned as they got out “Where are we?”

Sunset frowned “They are looking at you Bulma, maybe it’s because of the outfit.” She looked at them “Why are you looking at her strangely?”

One of the villages shouted “She wearing a rabbit outfit, that means she works for the Rabbit Mob!” It was at that moment two men with rabbit ears entered the town.

Bulma growled “Is that them!”

The villagers nodded, Goku rushed at them knocking them to the ground with a few swift blows. They called on their radios “There are some tough people here. We need you here, boss.” They then collapsed.

Everyone ran in terror, it was not long before strange rabbit looking vehicle turned up. Sunset frowned as she saw the rabbit, she recognised the power surrounding him immediately. He hopped over to them and smiled as he held out a hand. Bulma cautiously took it and was turned into a carrot.

The Rabbit laughed “I am Monster Carrot and anyone I touch turns into a carrot.”

Sunset’s right hand glowed as she wrapped Monster Carrot in teal magic and clicked the fingers of her left, Bulma turning back to normal. Sunset frowned “I am a mage and while I haven’t done big magic in a while I still have kept up using the basics. You are too dangerous to be allowed to keep using that magic.”

Sunset’s right hand starts glowing purple as purple trails emit from her eyes. The teal magic around surrounds Carrot, Sunset sighed “This is the reason I left home, I studied forbidden magic under my mentor’s nose!” Sunset dropped him, Monster Carrot touched her face and nothing happened. Sunset frowned “I created dark crystals in your magic pathways, blocking the flow of magic. You are now just another rabbit person.”

Jackie smirked “You showed him, didn’t you.”

Sunset stopped using the forbidden magic. She tossed a glare Jackie's way as as tears formed in her eyes, she entered the truck quietly. Goku ran after his upset mother. Yamcha frowned “You screwed up!”

Jackie scowled at him “Shut up!” Bulma entered the truck, glaring at the rabbit Mob Boss as she did so.
