Meanwhile as I went off to save ChiChi, the rest of the gang had gone off towards fire mountain though they couldn't even get to the base of the mountain due to the heat and were stuck in a run down deserted village nearby where the heat was manageable.
"Goku, I don't think we can get anywhere near that place." Bulma says looking at the mountain that is constantly under flames.
"Yeah it does look pretty hot." Goku says looking at it as well.
"Think you can get to that castle on top on your nimbus and get the dragon ball?"
"I could try." But as he was about to call for his nimbus Chulainn put his hand on Gokus shoulder.
"I don't think that is a good idea, I've learned magic from my teacher, and those aren't normal flames, but magic flames, and those are the type that burn anyone to a crisp if they even get close." He said thinking back to that scary bitch of a teacher of his, *God I hope I don't see her anytime soon*
"So it's impossible to get the Dragon Ball then?" Bulma said as she slumped down onto the ground.
"Not Quite, with both me and Ryuu's combined powers I believe we can rid this mountain of its flames, UmU UmU!" Nero says with a big grin at the thought of helping out her leader.
Though as they are saying this they begin to hear loud foot steps approaching them, which makes Bulma scared, Goku a bit confused, and Nero + Chulainn on alert.
"OOOORRRRRAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" And as soon as that shout was heard a massive axe comes whizzing through the air before embedding itself in a nearby wall, right near Bulmas head.
"EIIIIII!!!!!" She screamed as she slid down to her knees in fear again, seeing this even Goku pulled out his power pole.
And soon enough the figure of a giant beast of a man appeared as he began to walk towards them with each large step making the earth tremble in the process.
This was the Ox King, the ruler of fire mountain, and the one who owns the 6 star dragon ball.
"So! You have come to my mountain and you wish to steal my treasures! You're gonna have to pay for that." He says as he reaches them and with surprising amount of speed for the giant he is appears next to his axe before pulling it out.
Now I should mention this, the current Nero and Chulainn are still brand new summons and aren't very high leveled, they have there skills to be able to dodge and use there tactics to fight an enemy, but they are physically much weaker at the moment.
So with Goku, Nero and Chulainn all working together the were only able to barely come to a stalemate with the ferocious Ox King, they were fighting but because of everyone's skill and the ox kings immense defense nobody was getting seriously injured.
"Hmph! You kids got some good moves, though monkey boy your skills are quiet familiar to me…. Who was the one who taught you to fight?" He says as he wipes off the bit of blood from his mouth.
"Oh me? Well my grandpa Gohan was the one who taught me how to fight after all." (Goku)
"Gohan?! That old man had a grandson and he never went out of his way to tell me?!" Ox king says getting surprised at Gohan having a grandson.
"You knew my grandpa?"
"Knew him? We both trained under Master Roshi together! Gohan was Master Roshi's first disciple while I was his second!" He says with a laugh as he puts his axe away in joy to see Gohan grandson.
"Speaking of Gohan, what happened to the old guy? It must have been 15 to 20 years since we last saw each other." Ox king says with a big grin on his face.
"Oh….. he's…. Gone now, has been for a few years already….." Goku says rather sadly thinking about his grandpa.
"Oh… I'm sorry to here that, Gohan was a good man and he will be sorely missed…." Ox king says sadly at the loss of a friend of his, but soon there talk was interrupted by the sound of a horse galloping there way.

(Ryuu POV)
"We're getting closer to fire mountain, you sure your dad will be alright if we take his dragon ball?" I say looking back at the girl hugging my waist with a big smile on her face.
"Of course! You saved me and if what you said about helping us extinguish fire mountain is true then I don't have to find master Roshi to get that fan that can put out any flame." Chichi says giving confirmation to allow us to get the dragon ball.
"Well that's good…. Wait, what's that huge thing up ahead?" I say as I can start to see my friends way off in the distance, but there being attacked by something.
Chichi looks and squints her eyes trying to focus before opening them wide in surprise at what she saw, "Oh no! Daddy is attacking your friends!"
"Wait that's the Ox King? He's huge…." I mean I do remember him a bit from the anime but I don't remember him being this gigantic compared to everyone else, he's like 10-12ft tall.
"We have to hurry! Daddy might hurt them!"
"Let's go Brigliadoro!" I shout as we increased speed.
..
.
"Daddy!"
"Chichi!" They shout towards eachother as they hug one another.
"I'm so glad your okay my little girl, you hurt anywhere at all?" Ox king says looking all over to see if she's hurt.
"No I'm okay, Ryuu saved me from a huge dinosaur that tried to eat me! It was so cool you should have seen how Ryuu pulled out his sword and then he made it all shiny and with one swing he cut it in half! From head to tail!" Chichi says recounting what I did, being a fan girl about it.
"It wasn't really that much though…." I say scratching my face before Bulma comes up and nudges me while Chichi keeps talking with her dad.
"You made a little girl fall for you oh hero?" She said with a condescending smirk.
"…. Maybe? I dunno, but saving someone's life does get there eternal gratitude, but come on she's like 12, I'm not gonna go after that." I whisper to her.
"Uh huh, maybe I'll think about lending her you when she's older…." She says with a slight blush before walking away leaving me absolutely confused.
*What just happened?*
(Since host has such high affection with Bulma, she has come to accept if you would have more women in the future, though only those that the system considers romance and or harem targets)
*…. Is the system influencing her to make it okay with it then?*
(Yes and no, if their a target for your affection it makes others in the harem system more inclined to like one another, but it is not forced as even if their in the system as well they could have conflicting personalities and would fight, but with enough affection towards you they would slowly become friends and later into sisters.)
"Haaa" I just sigh and decide to not think about it, I'm not going after a little kid not at least until she is older.
"Oh yeah, Ryuu says that he can help extinguish the mountain!" Chichi says excitedly to her father.
"Really! You know how to get ride of the flames?" He looks at me surprised.
"Well me along with the help of my friend Nero here, we can suck up all the flames since we are both rather proficient in fire magic to say the least."
"That's great! Finally we can go back to our home! Thank you so much, not just for saving my daughter, but saving my home as well." The Ox King says with heartfelt thanks.
"No problem, so long as we get what we need we don't mind helping out." I say before I look over towards Nero who just nods and follows me as we get as close as we can to the mountain.
Nero pulls out her jagged sword where as I use Medea's staff to channel my power as we hold both towards the flames as we begin to devour them from the mountain side.
Soon enough a vortex of flames is coming towards up as all the magical energy that keeps these flames lit is being sucked up slowly making the flames become less and less until finally there gone for good.
"Woooo…. Man that's tiring…" I say as I plop down on my ass exhausted from taking that all in.
"UmU UmU! That was a most spectacular display of magic power and control, Ryuu!" Nero says seemingly proud of what I've done along with her.
"You guys did it!" The ox king says while the rest of the guys, besides Chulainn who just grins at the sight, all jump for joy at Fire Mountain being extinguished.
"Thank you so much for what you have done for us Ryuu, I know you asked just for the dragon ball but is there anything else you would want as well?" Ox King says with a big grin as he kneels over to pat me on the shoulder.
"Not really, all I need is the dragon ball and that's it, we are going on adventure to collect them all after all." I say as I shake my head at the thought.
"Well I'll think of something while I go back home to go grab that dragon ball, you guys just wait for me." He says though there's a bit of a gleam in his goggles as he walks up the mountain.
..
.
While he was away ChiChi got to know everyone in our group, and her and Bulma as well as Nero got along just fine, and after Ox King went up the mountain he soon enough came back with the Dragon Ball in hand.
"Here you go, I didn't know this thing was so important, but I don't need it anyway, but are you sure you don't need anything Ryuu-kun?"
I winced a bit as that was really close to saying my full name, "No this is all we really need." I say holding the 6 star dragon ball in my hand.
"Hmmmm….." he thinks as he rubs his beard before snapping his fingers, "I have an idea, why don't you take ChiChi along with you for the remainder of your journey, she should go see the world and make friends instead of being cooped up on this mountain with me."
"Yaaay! I love you Papa!" ChiChi says as she jumps up and hugs him with everything she's got.
"Well that's fine by me, I like her, plus I think I can come up with some better sorts of clothes." Bulma says a bit excited at the thought of the different clothes for her.
"Well if everyone is fine with it, then welcome aboard our adventure ChiChi." I say with a smile as she brightly smiles back.
"Please take care of me from now on!"
(ChiChi +30)
(ChiChi 185pts The man I wish to follow from now on)
"Haaa…." *Theres just gonna be more women aren't there?* I think to myself as we all get set up in much bigger Hummer to hold all of us in, then we waved goodbye to the Ox King as we head off for the final Dragon Ball.
