Dragon Ball Z: Paradise Found

The Only Purpose That Matters

The members of the Dragon Team shuffled in between one another as they picked their targets to isolate. Krillin and Chiaotzu tackled the massive brute Misokatsun, Tenshinhan slammed with full force into Kishime as the two struggled in a contest of force while Yamcha attempted to do the same with Ebifurya but the latter thrust his fist forward, sending a wave of chilling Ki at his opponent in an attempt to freeze him just like he did with Muten Roshi. Yamcha vanished in the nick of time avoiding the same fate that his master met earlier.

"Quick, Oolong, transform into something and thaw Roshi out," Bulma turned to the quivering pig who jumped up on his feet when addressed and looked mighty offended at this order.

"What the heck? I was the one who saved all of you by getting you guys out of that lab. My transformation's timed out, for now, how about you do something useful for once and thaw him out?" Oolong shook his fist up in Bulma's face which further infuriated the blue-haired genius and she locked her arm over the pig's head and pounded on it a couple of times.

"Hey!" Puar's screechy voice took the entirety of Bulma's attention, surprising the woman and forcing her grip to loosen just enough for Oolong to slip through and land crudely onto his bottom. Before anyone could greet the floating feline as it had done to them, Puar transformed into a blowtorch with cartoonish facial features and blasted a stream of hot flames at the top of the ice block, beginning to melt it with torrents of cool water leaking off of it at once.

"When are you going back and graduating from the Transformation Kindergarten already?" Bulma showed her teeth to Oolong.

"I'm not a kid anymore, they won't let me in..." Oolong wrapped his arms over his chest while squinting at the howling banshee with a standoffish look. "I know, I've submitted my application a few times already."

"You're not sad because you won't get the chance to learn to shapeshift properly, you're regretting the fact that you won't get to peek under the teacher's skirt and steal her underwear!" Puar gave his childhood friend a scolding look.

"Oh, look, the guys are doing pretty well..." Oolong looked away and pointed at the scene of the heated battle to divert the subject.

While Oolong wasn't able to keep up with the battle, he was not entirely wrong with his assessment. Krillin soared up with a flying uppercut, knocking Misokatsun's head back after managing to gain an upper hand in the clash but it didn't seem like the enemy had taken too much damage from it. The flexible giant extended his clawed hand and locked his claws over Krillin's heel, turning the martial artist around over his head and bashing him a couple of times at the icy stone beneath them. Krillin placed his hands by his forehead, releasing a Solar Fist to blind his opponent and regain freedom of movement and then proceeded to pound at Misokatsun's body again. After what seemed like dozens of rushing strikes, Krillin was forced to back out of the fray and the brute appeared to have regained his eyesight.

"It's no use. I've got the edge on him in terms of power and skill but I can't leave any damage on his body!" Krillin grunted to Chiaotzu who held back a bit. Misokatsun's body began shining with erupting Ki as he charged forward with his head lowered down, aiming to slam his highly flexible, massive body at his two opponents but Chiaotzu extended his hands and froze the enemy in mid-air with his psychokinesis. Chiaotzu flew over his opponent, emitting a telekinetic pulse from his hands that pushed his enemy into the ground and forced him to slide across, missing his targets and leaving a deep ridge in the frozen stone.

"It's no use!" Misokatsun roared out as sprung back to life and charged at Chiaotzu with a tackle, splashing his body right up into Chiaotzu's face and throwing him flying away into the air. The floating ghoul stopped himself with a flip and managed to regain his footing in mid-air.
