Hanako Saga - Dragon ball fanfic

Chapter 5 - Fire Mountain, the dreaded Ox-King and his Meek daughter Chi-Chi!

I sat in the back with Bulma who had woken up. She looked at Oolong who was driving curiously. "How long till we get there?" Oolong gulped nervously. "Not long enough." I sighed as I leaned towards the front resting my elbows on the back of the passenger seat hearing Bulma talk to him. "Are you still scared of that silly old legend. It's not real you know, I mean how can a mountain really be on fire?" Oolong sighed and continued driving. "Great, I'm stuck with a couple of non-believers."

Bulma started to fan herself with her hand. "I got to admit it is getting hotter all of a sudden." Goku pointed ahead cheerfully. "Look at the sunset! Is it ever bright!" Bulma smiled admiring it. "Oh wow, oh I got to brush my teeth." I stared at it and my eye lit up. "That's no sun! Hey Oolong, is that fire mountain?! We're actually here!" Oolong sighed as he continued onward towards it. Bulma face went into utter shock. "No way! I can't believe it!"

We got closer to where we could actually see the castle engulfed in flames. "Here we are fire mountain." We stopped in front of the castle, Bulma, Goku and I got out of the car with the exception of Oolong. I watched Goku climb on the roof of the car to stare at at the mountain. Bulma was really amazed by the sight of it. "Wow! I've never seen anything like it!" My eyes widened as as the flames grew more intense. Oolong then began to act like a coward and wanted to flee. "I don't know about you guys, but I've seen enough let's go!" Bulma glared and scolded him. "We have to get the dragon ball first, no sill bonfire is going to scare me away!" Oolong stared at her in astonishment. "A towering mountain, engulfed in enteral 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 smiled looking at me. "Hanako, do you think he has the dragon ball?"

I squinted at the castle trying to focus on it. "I think I've been here before and that name Ox King sounds familiar." The others ignored me and kept talking. Oolong then pointed upwards at the mountain. "It's probably in his castle and it's all yours just get passed the fiercest giant, wall of flames and then you can have it!" I stared at Oolong disapproving. "I think you need to grow a spine." Oolong growled at me. "Shut up you little runt!" Bulma looked ahead studying the castle. "Does he live up in the castle?" Oolong shakes his head in response. "He did, it's even said he can't even pass through the flames." Goku hopped down off the roof of the car and onto the hood of the car to sit. "Then why did he start the fire?" Oolong shook his head and stared at us seriously. "No, no, he didn't start it kid." I looked at Oolong curiously. "So what's the story behind it then?" Oolong glared at me. He yelled loudly making me cover my ears. "Well if you let me talk I could tell you!" Oolong cleared his throat and I uncovered my ears. "He actually paid a some magical wizard to create a fire to protect his castle from thieves, but then it raged out of control and he's been stuck on the outside ever since!" We looked at Oolong questionably. "You sure know a lot about it." Oolong continued explaining. "I was a local tour guide for the local Chamber of Commerce okay?! And I just remembered I forgot to clock out. So see y'a later!"

Oolong hopped back in the car and started it up. Bulma got really annoyed at this and scolded him. "You're the biggest coward I know!" Oolong rested his left arm out the window and looked at us. "Well I know why you're not scared, you think Goku will protect you but he's no match for the Ox King!" I crossed my arms and sat on the ground. "I know that name, it's on the tip of my tongue!" I glanced over at Goku and he smiled. "My grandpa thought me to be fearless, so I'm not scared." Oolong glared at him. "Well I show what my grandpa thought me squirt." Oolong suddenly started backing up the car and Bulma turned shocked. "Hey!" I stood up ready to chase him but Goku grabbed my wrist smiling. "Come on, let's let him get a head start!" I nodded smiling at him.

Bulma turned to face the car fleeing from our sight and screamed. "Get back here you!" Oolong ignored her and she growled in protest. "Ugh! Piggy!" With that one word Oolong stopped and ran out of the car heading towards the bushes. It wasn't long the till the three of us started chanting piggy. "Piggy! Piggy! Piggy! Piggy!"
