And so, Y/n, Goku, and Bulma begin their journey in search of the dragon balls, which are said to grant any one wish...

(3rd Person POV)

"Hey, Hey! We only need to get four more balls, right? That'll be easy!" Goku said as he held onto Bulma. Y/n drove a different motorcycle as he tried to tune the ladies out.

"Are you crazy? I guess since you're a country bumpkin, you don't know, but this world is a huge place!" Bulma said as Goku's belly rumbled.

"I'm hungry!" He said as Y/n looked at the sky.

"Yeah, it's getting dark. It'd be wise to stop here." Y/n said as Bulma nodded.

"Yeah, wouldn't want to get too far in the night," Bulma said as Y/n stopped the vehicle and the others hopped off.

"So we're gonna camp out here tonight?" Goku asked Y/n smirked at him, changing his helmet into glasses with a push of his button.

"Well since Bulma doesn't like roughing it out in the wild, we are gonna use the capsules," he said taking out the box as Bulma looked through it.

"Eeeeeh?! You mean those whatcha-macallitthinges even have houses inside them?!" Goku seemed very shocked, Y/n wondered just how far away he was from normal. If he had to guess, he'd say a lot based on the tail.

"Hoi-Poi Capsules!" Bulma found the right one as Y/n got off the bike. "I'm gonna put it right over there! You should hurry and back up!"

She threw the capsule and the house appeared. Y/n crossed his arms and smiled. He then walked into the house. "Seems to have worked alright."

"What are you doing? Hurry up and get in!" Bulma said as Goku pointed his power pole at Bulma.

"Y-you guys aren't magic users or anything, right?!" "Are you coming in or not?" Bulma asked her as Goku came in and was amazed by everything he saw.

"W-Wah! It's afternoon in here!" Goku said as he looked around.

"You don't even know what lights are? I didn't think you were that much of a bumpkin..." Bulma said as she turned on the TV. It played some music as Goku was utterly stumped. "Hehehe."

Bulma smiled, as Y/n just sighed. Goku poked the TV, "Hey! There's a tiny guy in there! What's he doing?!"

Bulma held her nose as she looked at him, "Hey, you smell a little, you know? We'll have to stick you in the tub before dinner."

Goku was confused, "tub? What's a tub?"

Bulma winced, "Gyaa! Disgusting!!!!"

Y/n adjusted his sunglasses and looked at her, "there are other ways to clean, Bulma. Besides, you act like you the one that's gonna bathe him."

Bulma glared, "It wasn't up for debate, hurry up and give him one!"

Y/n got an angry mark and had an instinct to reach for his stun gun. But soon enough, Y/n and Goku went into the bathroom. "Alright, I got everything set up. You ready?"

"?" Goku was confused as Y/n just picked him up.

"Up we go." and placed him in the tub. Y/n got some soap. He started washing the hair with his hands and a sponge. "There we go."

"What's this stuff? It looks weird..." Goku held some bubbles.

Y/n laughed, "Heheh, it's bubbles from a thing called Soap. It's useful to clean the body. Alright, time for your back."

Goku turned around and Y/n looked at the tail, "Should I wash the tail or do you think you can handle it."

Goku nodded, taking the sponge with his tail, "it's fine, I can do it. And I'll wash my butt. Like this?"

"Well, ain't that something?" Y/n smiled brightly, "It'd be great if I could take some of your cells to experiment."

"Experiment?" Goku was confused.

Y/n realizes he was geeking out, waving his hand to the side, "Ah, nothing, nothing."

"Wait what? So he has...a real tail...?" Bulma was confused when Y/n told her.

"Oh that's right, you don't have one. All boys have 'em." Goku stated as Y/n sighed.

"That's not true." Y/n thought to himself.

"I thought they only had things growing in their front...." Bulma admitted.

"But come to think of it, my dead grandpa didn't have one either..." Goku remembered.

"THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT, SEE?! HE DIDN'T HAVE ONE EITHER!!" Bulma reassured herself.

"But my grandpa was one weird guy." Goku smiled innocently.

"YOU'RE THE WEIRD ONE HERE!!!" Bulma shouted as Goku started to put on his clothes.

"It doesn't matter!" he smiled, Y/n felt a bit of happiness seeing such a carefree kid.

"Very carefree..." Y/n said as Bulma got up, heading to the bathroom. "Alright, let me make the food then. C'mon, Goku."

"Alright," Goku said as he followed.

Y/n looked at the boy, "How old are you Goku?"

"Me? 14," Goku said as Y/n gave a suspicious look.

"Hm, try to count with your fingers," Y/n asked as Goku couldn't do it fully.  "Hmm, when did you meet your grandpa."

"Huh? Grandpa said he found me as a baby 12 years ago." Goku said as Y/n had a grin, even though his eyebrows gave a relief expression.

"So you're twelve then," Y/n said as he reached into a bag, getting out some tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, and some bread. He started to slice the tomatoes, as Goku pointed at himself.

"Yeah. I guess I am!" Goku happily learned.

"Never met a twelve-year-old like you, Goku, hahaha!" Y/n laughed and Goku laughed a bit as well. Y/n picked up a tomato, waving it in front of Goku, "here. Try this out?"

"What's this?" Goku sniffed the vegetable. He ate it and put his tongue out, "whoa, it's all mushy."

"It's a tomato, we have carrots and lettuce for the salad," Y/n said, Goku was clearly not having it.

"I'm going to get a tastier, more energizing snack." Goku put on his shoes, and Y/n raised an eyebrow.

"Goku, these are healthy for you." Y/n warned as Goku felt 'danger' and rushed out. With a sigh, Y/n ate by himself. Tinkering with his device with one hand, and eating with the other.

Bulma soon came out of the bath, "hm? Where's Goku?"

Y/n didn't look at her, as she put on clothes, but responded, "Out to find a better meal."

Bulma sighed, "Honestly, that kid...what's your take on him?"

Y/n stopped tinkering, "Honestly...maybe an alien of some sort."

Bulma was taken back, "r-really?!"

Y/n shrugged, "Probably, doing way more than a kid his age should be able to. But...if he is one, we should keep a close eye on him."

Bulma nodded, but then looked at her brother, "You know, I think this is the most I've seen you talk to another person since you graduated from university. The two of you have more in common than you may realize."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Y/n said in a flared tone.

"You're always surrounded by those weird robots, pretending they're friends." as soon as Bulma said that, a hand was slammed on the table. Bulma winced and saw the dangerous aura from Y/n.

"They think just like me and you and have their feelings. They are just as human as me and you, they are my friends. What do you think I'm doing all the time? I'm not just playing pretend house with all that metal, Bulma." Y/n said in an angered, quiet voice.

Bulma waved her hand, "I didn't mean anything by it! Honest!"

Y/n scoffed and calmed down, "Guess you're right about me and Goku."

"I'm home!!" Goku shouted as Y/n opened the door, only to see Goku holding a wolf and a centipede. "I caught a wolf and a centipede! We'll roast them."

Y/n closed the door in his face. "Eat them and then come back in."

"Huh? Okay! You sure you don't want any?" Goku asked, Bulma shouted.

"NO WAY IN HELL I'D EVER EAT THAT!" Bulma shouted.

And soon it was time for bed, Goku was ready. He was jumping up and down. "Ehehehe, this futon is soft and comfy! It's been a while since I've had someone to sleep with!"

"Sleep with? The only way that is happening is if Y/n allows you to sleep with him." Bulma said as she remembered the crotch comment, "You lived together with your grandpa, right? Did your parents die?"

"I dunno! I was thrown away in the mountains when I was a baby, and then Grandpa found me and picked me up! Hehehe." Goku smiled brightly.

"You were probably thrown away because you have a tail... but you sure can talk about all that dark stuff so cheerfully," Bulma stated.

"Were you thrown away because your chest is a butt?" Goku asked.

Y/n immediately crouched and said, "Yes that's exactly the reason."

"IT'S CALLED A BUTT AND STOP GIVING HIM LIES! I WASN'T THROWN AWAY IN THE FIRST PLACE!" Bulma shouted, "This place called school blah blah blah 30 more days blah blah blah, like you!"

Y/n already was on the couch sleeping but was woken up in the morning by a scream. "Huh?"

"Come on! Don't surprise me like that! You're probably still half asleep!!" Bulma shouted as Y/n shrugged it off and brushed his teeth. Goku looked at him and tried to copy his movements. Y/n found it amusing, although, forgot he had to wait for Bulma for everything.

"Bulma, will you hurry up?" Y/n asked getting bored.

"If you were any slower, you'd turn into a turtle, y'know," Goku added.

"Shut up already about the turtles! The truth is you two just wake up too early!" Bulma said as she brushed her now purple hair. "By the way, would you stop saying 'you'? I'm older than you, you know! I should be referred to as Bulma-San!"

Goku looked at the coffee machine, "too hard, so nope."

"WHAT'S SO HARD ABOUT IT?!" Bulma shouted in disbelief as she soon poured a cup of coffee. "You drink coffee too?"

"Too bitter, who'd like that!!" Goku frowned, Y/n had a smirk as he walked past them. "Alright, exercise time!"

"It's more of an addiction if you need it every day as well," Y/n says as Bulma pushes his face away. Y/n went outside and worked on the bike, he nodded the brakes were a bit loose. He tightened it and fixed it up. "Whew, still looking nice there."

"FINE THEN!" Bulma seemingly shouted as Y/n sighed, standing up.

"What is it now?" Y/n asked as he met Goku down the road with a turtle. A brief silence, "Oh gosh, you really did turn into a turtle."

"I beg your pardon but do you know this boy, Goku?" the turtle spoke out, making Y/n even more curious.

"Yeah, he's my friend, Y/n." Goku smiled and looked at his friend, "Y/n, I'm gonna take the turtle back to its home."

Y/n crossed his arms, a troubled expression, "Hmm..."

"Isn't he gonna refuse like the girl?" Turtle whispered to Goku.

"Hm, Y/n's different." Goku firmly stated.

"Well, if we take the bike, we can save some energy," Y/n said as he used his gloves to raise the bike above the head of Turtle and onto the ground. Y/n hopped on the bike, "alright, you hopping in or running?"

Goku smiled, "Well, I haven't had a workout so I'm gonna run."

"Alrighty then, I'll follow you." Y/n said as Goku started to run super fast, "My, he's fast."

Y/n started up the bike and slammed his foot on the pedal, taking off with quick speed as well, riding side by side. "HEY! WAIT FOR MEE!"

Y/n turned to see Bulma riding a bike as well, "I don't have any choice, I'll have you come to show you guys the right way!!"

"Eh? But I thought you said we wouldn't meet again." Goku was confused.

"You really aren't cute, you know that?" Bulma flinched.

Y/n smirked, "You're just scared of being by yourself."

"Ho...hohoho! Don't say stupid things. The only thing on my mind is getting his dragon ball!" Bulma shouted.

But later down the road; a large bear spied them from afar and came up with his massive structure. "Hey! Hold on! Ahaha, kid! Wanna hand over that sea turtle to me? It's my favorite food, you know!!"

Bulma panicked, putting her hand out, "Hie...please take it!! Come on, Son-kun, give him the turtle already."

Y/n crossed his arms and got off the bike, his lab coat slightly blew, "Eh, I can take him."

"Bleh!" Goku felt the same, putting his tongue out.

"Hohoho, if you're even the tiny bit concerned about your lives, it'll do ya good to leave it behind..." the thief shined his sword, Y/n put on his gloves, "unless that is, you want me to cut ya'll up, too!"

"Hey, idiots! Just give him the turtle! What's wrong with you guys!?" Bulma shouted, making Y/n turn towards her.

"Why don't you just leave Bulma? You're not gonna do anything anyway." Y/n stated as Goku looked at the bear.

"I don't want to give him the turtle," Goku stated.

"I get it...so you want to eat it yourselves, do ya?! In that case, you're first..."  the thief said before Y/n used his gravity gloves to put the turtle on Goku's back down. The two dodged the first swipe while Y/n held the blade down, "Wha? I can't...move it...?!"

"You're up," Y/n stated with a yawn.

Goku leaped on the nose of the foe, "Rock paper scissors: Rock!! Hyah!"

Goku slammed his fist in between the eyes of the bear, killing it with a single strike. Goku looked at Y/n, "Wow, you're a pretty good fighter, Y/n."

Y/n had a sweatdrop and ruffled his hair, "I didn't do any of the punching though."

Goku smiled, "I bet if you started training, you'd be the strongest human I know."

"Thanks, maybe you can teach me one day,"  Y/n said as Turtle and Bulma looked from afar.

"They're... crazy..."

"I never knew he was that strong..."

Goku looked at Turtle, "So are you really tasty like he said?"

"Eh?!" turtle started to panic, while Y/n got back on the motorbike. "THERE'S NO WAY I'D BE TASTY!! IN FACT, I TASTE COMPLETELY HORRIBLE!! EVERYONE KNOWS THAT! HAHAHAHA!!"

"Oh, okay. You don't look that tasty anyway." Goku picked him back up, leading the creature to sigh.

Eventually, they all made it to the ocean, "WE DID IT! IT'S THE SEA!! NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS...WE REALLY MADE IT!"

"Obviously!!" Bulma shouted with her arms crossed.

"Wow, this is awesome! This is the biggest river I've ever seen!" Goku smiled and looked at Turtle.

"It's called the sea, or ocean. It's a large part of the world we have yet to discover." Y/n explained.

"wow, you sure live in a big place.." Goku says.

"You two really saved me! Thank you so much!" he soon went into the water, "please, wait there for a moment, would you? By all means, I want to return the favor to you with a gift!"

"A gift?" Goku wondered.

"No chance it's buried treasure, is it?" pondered Bulma.

"Probably something old," Y/n suggested, before taking his shoes off and getting into the water. "Ah, so refreshing."

"If I knew we were gonna come here, I would've brought my swimsuit..." Bulma lifted her shirt.

Meanwhile, Goku drinks some of the water and pays for it, "Ugh!! It's too salty! Somethings wrong with this water!!"

Later, they all were making a sand castle when Y/n looked in the distance, Y/n noticed something, "Hey, something coming."

"Eh?" Goku stood up, "it's the turtle, but...now somethings riding on its back."

"How the hell can you even see that far?" Bulma asked, trying to look. "I wonder what he's brought back for us."

Y/n picked up Goku, putting him on his shoulders. Y/n pressed a button on his glasses to zoom in, "well, it is something old."

"Good afternoon!" the old man said as he arrived on the beach, hopping off the turtle, "seems like you helped out my title here!"

"Who are you, Grandpa?" Goku had asked.

"I am the Turtle Hermit, Master Roshi!!" Roshi stated, "Which one helped you?"

"These two." the turtle pointed.

"Turtle hermit...?" Bulma was confused.

"I see, I see! Allow me to commend you both for your hard work! I have a wonderful present to give you two as thanks!" Roshi walked up to the two.

"Present?" Y/n and Goku both asked.

Roshi raised his staff to the air, "COME TO ME, IMMORTAL PHOENIX!!"

But.., "nothing's coming..."

"Umm.., the Immortal Phoenix died of food poisoning," Turtle explains.

"Really?! Oh yeah, now that you mention it..." Roshi remembered.

"It died even though it was immortal? Was it just immortal in age then?" Y/n wondered.

Roshi thought, "Hmm, I was planning on summoning the Immortal Phoenix and granting you eternal life. Alright, instead of that, I'll give you this! Come to me! Flying Nimbuses!"

Suddenly a Purple cloud and a yellow cloud came soaring down. The three looked in shock, "A CLOUD IS FLYING TOWARDS US!?"

"These are the Nimbuses. I'm giving you each one." Roshi explained.

"How do I eat it?" Goku asked.

"Don't eat my treasured cloud!!" Roshi shouted, "If you ride on them, you'll be able to fly anywhere you like in the sky!"

"But why do you have these clouds? It has nothing to do with turtles..." Bulma looked around the Clouds.

"It's unbecoming of children to pay attention to such details..." Roshi stated with a sweat.

Y/n stepped towards the purple one, "so, you're saying we'll be able to soar in the sky?"

"Amazing right? But there are catches, with the yellow one, only those with a pure heart can ride it. So if you aren't a good boy, you won't be able to!" Roshi leaped on it, "Let me show you how it's done!" but he fell through for some reason. "ARGH! My back!!!"

Bulma laughed while Roshi was confused, "That's strange..."

"Let me try and ride it!" Goku leaped off Y/n's shoulders and onto the cloud. "Ahh! Yay! I can ride it! I can ride it!"

Goku took off into the sky as Y/n looked at Roshi, "I can tell, you're a martial arts master, aren't you?"

"That's a fine eye you got there, boy," Roshi said as Y/n nodded.

"Would you train me if we ever run into each other?" Y/n asked Roshi, Roshi looked into the boy's soul.

"Before I agree, let's see if you can ride Nimbus," Roshi said as the purple one got closer to Y/n. "These two clouds are a small fragment of a much, much larger Flying Nimbus cloud. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any more. But...unlike the other Nimbus, this Nimbus can carry other people no matter the heart, but you must come to an understanding with it. It's got an attitude on it. If it don't like ya, I'll turn into gas and drop you down."

"Alright, well hopefully we can make this work...." Y/n thought before he inhaled. He closed his eyes and smiled, "Hey, I'm gonna try this out, okay?"

The cloud moved a bit to lower it, Y/n closed his eyes and tried thinking of riding it. Soon it worked and he was on. "Hehe, guess I can fly it now."

Soon after, Bulma discovered that Master Roshi had a Dragon Ball, which he gave Bulma his Dragon Ball in exchange for showing the old master her underwear. However, she wouldn't know she wasn't wearing any until they made a quick stop at the capsule home.

On the road again, after three days, they finally reached the west, bringing the three closer to the fifth dragon ball... Son Goku, Y/n, and Bulma find themselves somewhere new.

Just what is waiting for the three in this quiet, unsettling village?
