As I was running towards the sniper and deflecting the shots at me with my shield, back at the car the cockpit to the mech opened up and Shuu, the ninja dog man front flipped out before landing behind the car all the while grabbing our suit case that holds all of our dynacapsules and specifically our dragon balls.
"Hey! Give back our stuff!" (Bulma)
"Ehhh…. No." Shuu said while sticking out his tongue.
"Shadow Clone Juitsu!" He shouts before turning into three copies of himself carrying three separate suitcases before scattering.
"Hey! Get back here! Goku! Chase him down he has our Dragon Balls!" Bulma shouted as she was freaking out.
"Don't worry kid will help out." (Chulainn)
"UMU!" (Nero)
"Let's go! Flying Nimbus!" Goku shouts out as he jumps up and uses his nimbus to chase one Shuu down while Chulainn and Nero chase down the other two.
While they were doing that I was ducking and weaving from all the gun shots heading towards me while using my shield to block attacks as well.
"Stop. Running. Like. A. Slippery. Eel!!!" Mai was shouting between shots as she was getting peeved that I was ducking and weaving between attacks as I was getting closer and closer.
I just grin as I get closer and closer to her, I couldn't really hear what she was saying but the look on her face was saying she was pissed.
Now the real question is how to get up the cliff face, but I already had an answer for that.
"Brigliadoro! Let's go!" I say as I jump on my horse as we head towards the cliff.
The Rider class can move on any terrain with ease, though there are land riders and sea riders which have a better edge in those areas specifically, obviously I'm one with the land ones so riding straight up a cliff is no issue.
"What?! Fine! I'll just shoot your horse then!" She shouts aiming at Brigliadoro and shooting at him.
That would have been a smart move, but because he's a phantasmal beast now since he's connected to my spirit origin, bullets that aren't magically infused or shot by other servants can't really hurt him, at most it's like getting hit with a BB gun, it stings but does no lasting damage.
And soon enough we reached the cliff with a leap and landed before her as she laid spread out on the ground after losing her balance at our appearance.
I then leaped off Brigliadoro and kicked her gun away before resting my wooden blade against her neck.
"End of the line, now you want to give up nicely, or do I have to beat you into submission?" I say as I brush the hair out of my eyes to get a better look at her.
(Target Acquired!)
(You've earned Basic Gun Mastery!)
*….Huh, this is the first time only the Scumbag system activated but none of the others did.*
System- Target Mai has to low of an opinion of the host to activate the romance and harem subsystems, if her impression of the host improves her impression of you she may change her mind and be added to those systems.
"Well you give u-" but suddenly she pulls out a pistol and-
*BANG! Clink!*
She tried to shoot me but my reactions were quick enough to use my shield to block and deflect it.
*BANG! Clink! BANG! Clink! BANG! Clink! BANG! Clink! BANG! Clink! BANG! Clink! Click Click Click.*
"Now your out of bullets, time you took a nap." I say as I bring my shield down on her head hard and knocking her out cold.
I look at her weapons and take them away before putting them in my inventory before tying her up and hefting her onto Brigliadoro before going back to everyone else.
Meanwhile as I dealt with her Goku and the rest caught the real Shuu and brought him back with the Dragon Balls all black and blue.
Soon enough I return with her and place her alongside her comrade as I tie them both up together, I guess that S&M skill I got from darkness has practical use after all, tying people up is a cinch for me.
"Alright, mind telling us who you work for?" I say as I poke at Shuu who is still conscious.
"Hmph! Like I'll tell you anything." He says while being defiant about it.
"Oh really? You know I'm an amazing doctor, I can fix you right back up before hurting you all over again you know." I say as I pull out my staff as I heal him right back up before cracking my knuckles while looking down at him.
He shuddered as he could tell that he was all better now, but then he sighed, "I'm not getting paid enough to deal with this, alright you want to know my boss? He is 'Emperor' Pilaf, and he has the last Dragon Ball, he found out with his dragon radar that you guys had the other ones, so he told us to ambush you guys and take them back to him so he can make his wish of ruling the world…"
"Rule the world? Really? You know that even if he does that the people of the world will probably just ignore him as the best possible scenario and at worst the whole world hunts him down for even trying that." Bulma scoffs at the thought of it all.
"I know, he's delusional, but he hired us so we have to follow his orders or we don't get paid."
"Hmmm tell you what, if you help us get the last dragon ball from him, not only will I double your pay, but I'll hire you two as my bodyguards, how about that." Bulma says coming up with a great idea, she is a genius after all.
Mai had already woken up and had been quietly listening for awhile since her head no longer hurt as I healed her up too, "Please, our contracts are expensive, where would you get the money to hire us."
"Then let me say my full name then, I am Bulma Brief's, second daughter of Dr. Brief, founder of the Capsule Corporation and the future heiress as well, now tell me, do you think I don't have enough money to offers you two?" She says with a grin showing off her status.
Both Shuu and Mai look at each other before nodding and looking back at her, "Where do we sign up?!" x2
..
.
"Where are those two idiots?!" Emperor pilaf says getting rather impatient waiting for a call from his minions.
*Czrt* "Emperor Pilaf Sir, we have gotten the dragon balls and are returning, but they were tougher than we thought, we had to ditch the mechs as they broke because of them before making our way back!"
"Excellent! Well done Shuu! Mai! How long until you get here?"
"We should be there in an hour should nothing slow us down, but don't worry Sir, those guys won't pose a threat any longer."
"Excellent! I'll meet you two at the entrance when you get back! Soon the World will be Mine! Hahaahahaha!!!!" *Crzt*
After turning off the radio Shuu looks over to me, "Well this will be easy it seems."
"Yep he won't know what hit him until it's to late." I say with a grin as I gun the Hummer that we are riding to our next destination.
Emperor Pilaf's Castle.
