In search of their sixth Dragon Ball, our four adventurers, Bulma, Haru, Goku and Oolong, now make their way toward fire mountain, the legendary home of a terrible giant: The Ox-king.

Bulma: How much longer until we get there?

Bulma who sat at the back with Goku asked Ooling.

Oolong: Not long enough!

Bulma: Are you still scared of that silly, old legend? It's not real, you know. I mean, listen to yourself! Seriously, how could a whole mountain really be on fire.

Haru: You never know Bulma, be careful of what you wish for.

Bulma: Yeah right, as if.

Haru: But still I don't know how a whole mountain could just catch a fire and not burn out.

Oolong: Great! I'm stuck with a couple of non-believers. Well, you just wait until you see it for yourselves!

Haru: The amount of lies you've told I better see it, or I'm not believing it.

Bulma: I gotta admit it is getting hotter all of a sudden.

She starts panting inside the car feeling hotter for some reason.

Goku: Look at the sunset! Is it ever bright!

Bulma: Oh. Wow!

Haru: Best one I've seen thus far.

Oolong: That isn't the sun, you idiots, that's fire mountain!

Bulma: No way! I can't believe it!

Haru: No wonder it was bright.

Meanwhile what was not known to them was Yamcha who tailed them and chased right after them with Puar driving the car wanting to get the sixth Dragon Ball before they did.

They continued driving until they reached Fire Mountain and came to a stop not wanting to move further into the fire with the car.

Oolong: Well, there's fire mountain!

Bulma: Wow! I've never seen anything like it!

Haru: I think you speak for all of us when you say that. Incredible!

Goku: Ohhh......

Bulma: Uh-huh.

They all got out of the car and stared at the burning fire with shocked and surprised expressions.

Oolong: I don't know about you guys, but I've seen enough. I'm ready to go.

Haru: Already? But wasn't the reason we came all the way out here to get the sixth Dragon Ball?

Bulma: Haru's right, Oolong! We have to get the Dragon Ball first. No silly bonfire's gonna scare me away!

Oolong: A towering mountain engulfed in eternal flames doesn't scare you, huh? Well it scares the sausage out of me! Besides, the evil Ox-King lives there. And he'll have our heads!

Bulma: I bet he's got the ball!

Haru: There's only one way to find out. Let's go guys, the faster we move the sooner we'll get there.

Oolong: Yeah, okay. I'm sure it's up there, possibly in his castle. And it's all yours. Just get past the fiercest giant in the world and pass through that wall of flames there, and then you can have it!

Bulma: Does he live up there in the castle?

Oolong: He did, but they say even he can't pass through those flames.

Goku: So then, why did he start the fire.

Oolong: No, no! He didn't start it, kid. He paid some magical wizard to create fire to protect his castle from thieves, right? And then it raged out of control, and he's been stuck on the outside ever since.
