Outside Pilaf's HQ, everyone saw Akira flying into the castle. It was a bit frustrating to just have to wait outside, but if he was quick it would be good for everyone.
As everyone looked at the sky, they didn't quickly notice, but the orange hue of the sky slowly turned dark blue.
"Will Akira take long? Even flying and using the radar, the dragon ball could be very hidden, so it would take him a while to find it" Bulma said, looking in the direction where he had disappeared.
Oolong remained sitting inside the car, while everyone else was outside, looking completely uninterested in it 'I don't even know why I'm still here, that monster can do everything on his own, so what use are they to me? I hope they let me go when this is over'
Chi-Chi looked a little thoughtful, she looked at the sky, but there was no focus in her eyes. She remembered the event from some time ago, when she put the sword to that man's neck.
She gripped her hand tightly, as her eyes took on a glint of determination 'Akira must have thought I was weak, for not having the courage to kill that bandit, but I will prove that I am strong!'
Bulma saw the dark sky being illuminated by the moon, so she said "It's a full moon tonight, it would be so romantic to have a date in this silver light..." Her voice sounded soft, while her eyes shone with the feeling of desire.
She was still undecided, whether she should make her request for a boyfriend, or if she should try to win over Akira, who seemed quite willing to accept her, but wouldn't remain exclusive to her.
"Full moon?" Goku's voice sounded beside her "We should be careful of the monster that appears on the full moon, grandpa always told me not to leave the house on full moon nights because of that monster!"
Coming out of her romantic thoughts, Bulma gave a doubtful look to the boy beside her "You're still afraid of that kind of legend, even though you're so strong? Your grandfather probably just wanted to make you sleep early, there's no monster at all"
"Are you guys talking about werewolves?" Chi-Chi chimed in, her eyes filled with a hint of fear.
Bulma turned to the girl and said "Yeah, but that's just a silly legend, there's no such monster!"
"No! There really is a monster that appears on full moon nights, grandpa was killed by one of those monsters!" Goku said seriously.
Oolong who was unconcerned made a tense expression upon hearing that "Wait, wasn't your grandfather Master Roshi's best disciple, someone stronger than the Ox-King himself? How would he be killed by a werewolf?"
"Yeah, Goku, how could something like that have happened?" Bulma asked with a doubtful expression. It was hard to believe that such a monster existed, but even if it did, how could it kill someone so abnormally strong?
"I'm telling you! Grandpa was trampled to death by a monster on a full moon night, even part of our house was destroyed!" The boy said, outraged that they didn't believe him.
"Trampled??" The other three's expressions filled with doubt and Bulma asked "What did that monster look like?"
Goku scratched his head and said "I have no idea, I was sleeping when the monster appeared and when I woke up it was gone. And that night I had gone out at night to go to the bathroom, I saw the full moon, but no monster, he must have waited for us to sleep to attack!"
"How did you not wake up in the middle of this? Didn't you say that part of the house was destroyed? It must have been a very loud sound, not even the deepest sleep would make you not wake up to it" Oolong said, as something appeared in his mind, making him feel fear.
Something very similar was happening to Bulma, so she said with a bit of fear "Goku, maybe it's better not to look at the full moon..."
The girl pointed to where Goku shouldn't look, but he followed her indication, then looked at the silver moon.
When his eyes focused on the full moon, his body froze. Everyone saw that and felt a chill "Goku?!"
His eyes filled with a red hue, as if they were a sea of blood, and his body began to grow and grow dark fur all over his body. Everyone was shocked, their eyes filled with astonishment as they watched the little boy turn into a huge furry beast.
As he grew, his clothes tore, his staff and his small luggage fell to the ground, while Goku transformed into a giant ape, Oozaru.
"GRRRRHHHHWWW" He let out an animalistic scream, which carried across a huge distance.
While everyone was still in shock, the giant ape's foot lifted, then he stomped towards the car, which was beside him. Oolong was filled with fear seeing the huge foot coming towards him, without hesitation he jumped out of the car.
Not only the little pig, but the two girls also ran away, getting as far away from the giant monster as possible.
Before they could get too far away, the monster's foot hit the car, destroying it and causing it to explode. The explosion sent an impact that hit the three of them, making them fall to the ground.
Bulma stood up with difficulty, turning to face the enormous monster, while feeling a slight pain throughout her body "Goku..." She looked into the giant ape's eyes, but could not find a shred of consciousness.
The three of them had scraped and dirty bodies from the fall, but they were still fine. Chi-Chi looked in astonishment at the monster, who was stomping on the ground nonstop, causing the area to shake.
"He's completely lost control, he's attacking the ground like crazy! We need to get out of here!" Bulma said, with a scared look.
Everyone got up to run, but when Bulma took a step, she felt her right ankle hurt "Ow!" She gave a slight cry of pain.
She couldn't continue because of the pain, so she looked at the giant ape in fear. Chi-Chi stopped a few steps in front "Hey, we need to run!" She said.
At that moment, the two's expressions were filled with fear, there was a huge fist coming towards Bulma "No!!" She let out a scream of despair.
Chi-Chi ran back to Bulma, reaching out to catch her, but it was obvious there wasn't enough time.
At that moment, someone appeared in front of Bulma, between her and the monster's fist, causing the girl's fear-filled eyes to widen in surprise.
The sound of impact rang out loudly, along with the sound of earth being dragged. Akira had appeared in front of the Oozaru's attack and using his two arms as a shield, he received the attack head on.
Akira's feet made a deep trail in the ground, he was pushed off by the impact and his entire body trembled. When he finally stopped, a trickle of blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth.
Bulma and Chi-Chi could see Akira's back, his eyes were filled with excitement "Akira!" The two said together, filled with happiness.
The Oozaru's fist slowly returned, taking the pressure off Akira's arms. His arms had instantly become swollen and there was a greenish color to his skin.
With a shaking hand, Akira wiped the blood from his mouth and spat out another mouthful. "I should have expected that, his Ki is almost the same as the pumped-up Master Roshi..." He gave a wry smile.
"Are you okay?" Bulma asked with a worried tone, after seeing him spit blood.
Akira turned around, he could see Oolong far away from them, while Bulma was only a meter behind him and Chi-Chi right after her. Akira smiled at the two "I'll fix it, don't worry about it"
Oozaru was about to make another attack, Akira noticed this, so in an instant, he picked up Bulma in one of his arms, Chi-Chi in the other and then ran.
The two girls could not and did not want to avoid this, so they were carried away in a brief run, as the giant monster's fist hit the ground where they were before.
Bulma felt Akira's hand gripping the back of her thigh as she hugged him around the neck, which made her blush.
Oolong saw Akira quickly overtake him as he carried the two girls to a distant area. When they were far away, Akira set them down and handed the last dragon ball to Bulma "Have you decided what your wish will be?"
Bulma thinks for a moment, looks at his injured arms, then says "I think I should use the wish to return Goku to normal. We might end up dead if he keeps this up... And I don't need to make my wish anymore anyway"
With a lapse of courage, Bulma pulls Akira into a kiss, which he responds to. It only lasted a moment, but it was enough for Bulma, who looked at him blushing, not knowing what to say now.
Seeing them kiss so suddenly, Chi-Chi was shocked, then bit her lip in irritation.
Akira smiled at Bulma "You're faster than I imagined. But about the wish, if you're going to use it to bring Goku back to normal, then let me make a wish instead, I have a method to return him to normal, just summon the dragon while i distract him, i will make my wish when the dragon appears"
Without waiting for a response, Akira flew towards the Oozaru. Bulma was surprised at herself for having the courage to kiss him, so much so that she didn't even question everything he had said, she just agreed to do what he asked.
While the girl placed all the dragon balls together on the ground, Akira got very close to the Oozaru, who in turn began to attack him.
Those blows could make Akira fall, but he faced them with a slight smile 'Even if I didn't know it, it's quite clear how slow Oozaru is! Even if he has the strength to kill me, he won't touch me if I don't let him'
The giant ape was a transformation that greatly increased the strength of Goku and the other Saiyans, but their speed remained basically the same.
In Akira's eyes, the monster's punches were as slow as turtles and he could easily dodge them. The only reason he took that first punch was because the blow was about to hit Bulma and he needed to protect her.
In the distance, the three could see Akira spinning the giant ape, flying around like a mosquito that was never caught.
'I could defeat him by cutting off his tail, but this will be a good opportunity to test my desire' Akira smiled, as he dodged punches and slaps from the giant monster.
Just a minute later, a huge green dragon appeared in the dark sky. With a majestic air, he asked "What is your wish?"
Bulma and Chi-Chi looked at the huge dragon in surprise, shocked by its size. They were both in agreement that Akira would grant his wish, so they looked in his direction, knowing that he would soon do so.
Oolong looked greedily at the dragon, wondering if he should make his own wish up front, but he could feel that death would soon follow, so he maintained his silence.
Akira heard this from afar and even though the dragon wasn't looking in his direction, he shouted "Shenlong, I wish for the best skill that multiplies power that suits me!"
He smiled 'I intended to make this wish in a few years, but if Bulma was going to throw the wish away, why not make it now?'
He specified the type of ability he wanted, so as not to end up with something useless. Saiyans have their transformations that multiply their power many times over, but if he was a Saiyan, Akira was afraid of receiving an ability that he couldn't use, or that he would have trouble learning, so he asked for the best one that suited him.
The dragon's eyes flashed "Very well, your wish has been granted, then I will be leaving" The dragon turned into light, soared higher into the skies, and then split into seven and scattered across the planet.
Everyone turned their gaze to Akira, who had stopped moving, as if giving up on dodging the giant ape's attacks.
Akira was standing still, but there was something around him moving, it was a purple aura around his body, flickering like hellish flames. Akira's eyes were closed, but he slowly opened them, revealing that his left eye had turned purple, while his right remained brown.
He smiled, as he saw a punch from the monster coming towards him "Let's test my new skill a little!"
The three in the distance couldn't see the small changes in Akira, but could see that purple energy around him.
When the Oozaru's punch landed, Akira returned it in kind, punching his hand. If it were before, Akira would have broken his arm, but now it was different, the impact of the two punches made a loud sound, but neither of them were hurt.
Chi-Chi's eyes sparkled with excitement "Akira has gotten much stronger now!"
Akira was exchanging blows non-stop with Oozaru, he intentionally allowed himself to be hit by the attacks, so he could gain some experience.
The size difference meant that each of Oozaru's strikes hit Akira's entire body, while he barely covered a significant area with his punches, but he didn't care.
If he used a Ki attack, he could hit him harder, but he could end up hurting or even killing Goku with it, and that wasn't his plan.
In the distance, a small car stopped far from the HQ, and two people with shocked looks stood inside the car.
"There's a giant monster destroying the castle!" Mai said, fear in her voice.
"And that demon is fighting him... Let's go Mai!" Shu said holding a technological binocular in his hand.
Akira was flying between the castle buildings, causing Oozaru to destroy the whole place trying to attack him.
When they were in the middle of the wreckage, Akira looked towards the girls "Well, I think I've played with you enough, so let's finish!"
He had a smile, but it was possible to notice his breathing becoming heavier, indicating his fatigue. He flew towards the girls at a very high speed.
Seeing a purple beam coming towards them, the girls looked up in surprise. When it landed in front of them, the two of them widened their eyes "Akira?!"
His left eye being purple was a surprise and there was one more thing they didn't notice because they were so far away before, his height.
It was not much, but they could see the difference. Akira didn't even pay attention to it and extended his hand to Chi-Chi "Lend me your sword, I need to rip off his tail to end his transformation"
Chi-Chi was surprised, but quickly took out the capsule she got earlier and handed it to him.
Oozaru was coming after Akira, but he was too slow in comparison, so before he arrived, Akira had already returned with his sword in hand.
The giant ape punched towards Akira, but he quickly moved behind its huge body, then cut off its tail without any difficulty.
Akira transformed the sword into a capsule again, then watched as the giant ape turned back into little Goku.
Akira closed his eyes and the aura around his body disappeared and his height returned to normal, he took a deep breath 'This technique is very good!'
[Author's Note: I feel like this wasn't good, so I apologize, but I didn't want to drag out this early part of the story too much. Anyway, I just wanted to say, thank you for reading this horrible story, that was the end of the first arc, I hope to improve in the next one.]
