As Ayaka and the group rested below Fire Mountain, a giant sea turtle appeared, carrying Master Roshi on its shell. His sunglasses gleamed brightly under the sun as he slowly advanced step by step. The turtle's leisurely pace made Ayaka and the others grow slightly impatient.
Finally, Master Roshi arrived. Goku eagerly called out, "Grandpa Roshi, you're here!"
Bulma observed the old man with disbelief. "That frail-looking guy is Master Roshi, the legendary strong man?" she asked skeptically.
"He's Master Roshi, the God of Martial Arts," Ayaka confirmed, though her eyes held a hint of disdain. She turned to Bulma with a warning, "But he's just as much a pervert as Oolong. Don't let him get too close."
Bulma frowned as she carefully studied Master Roshi.
The Ox-King, upon seeing the renowned martial artist, immediately bowed in reverence. "Master Roshi, it's been a long time!"
Roshi nodded and leaned on his cane. "Your reputation precedes you," he remarked, his tone solemn. "Protecting your property has left quite a trail, hasn't it?"
The Ox-King lowered his head in shame, sweat running down his temples. "Master Roshi, please forgive me. But right now, the fire on Fire Mountain urgently needs to be extinguished!"
Roshi turned his attention to the blazing mountain and replied thoughtfully, "This flame is not easy to put out."
However, his demeanor shifted as he noticed Ayaka and Bulma. His gaze grew mischievous. "Ayaka, you've grown even more beautiful! And this lovely lady by your side, how about an unforgettable date with Grandpa Roshi?"
Ayaka's expression darkened, her aura turning icy. Roshi quickly laughed nervously, "Haha, joking! I meant I'd like to make friends with her."
Bulma was stunned. "This perverted old man is the God of Martial Arts?!" she muttered, her image of him utterly shattered.
Ayaka said with an expression as a matter of factly "He truly is known as the God of Martial Arts because he truly does have a heart to protect the world when it's necessary but in other situations it's better to think of him as a monk who has strayed from the path of Boddhisatva."
The Ox-King lowered his head in shame, sweat running down his temples. "Master Roshi, please forgive me. But right now, the fire on Fire Mountain urgently needs to be extinguished!"
Roshi turned his attention to the blazing mountain and replied thoughtfully, "This flame is not easy to put out. I'll use my Kamehameha to handle it!"
At this point, Ayaka stepped forward with concern. "Master Roshi, your Kamehameha might extinguish the fire, but it could also obliterate the Ox-King's castle and treasury. There has to be a safer alternative."
Roshi hesitated, contemplating Ayaka's words. Before he could respond, Ayaka closed her eyes and began to channel her energy. "Let me try another way," she said. If she were to let this pervert do the same thing he did in the original storyline then Chichi will truly become money minded and that's truly not what she wanted to see as she truly now sees Goku as her little brother so she wanted his wife to not nag him about monetary matters when he is trying his best to save the world.
Ayaka stood firm, her body radiating a soft, controlled aura. She used her mastery of Ki control and Kami's special abilities to summon rain. Gradually, droplets began to fall, soaking the ground and cooling the mountain. Ayaka carefully directed her energy to disperse the flames bit by bit, ensuring the fire was extinguished without harming the surrounding area.
The process took longer than expected, but Ayaka's precision paid off. The mountain's flames subsided, and the Ox-King's castle and treasury remained intact. Relief swept over the group.
Bulma stared at Ayaka, her admiration evident. "You did it without destroying everything! That was incredible."
The Ox-King fell to his knees in gratitude. "Ayaka, you saved my home and treasures. You are truly amazing!"
Master Roshi nodded reluctantly, impressed by Ayaka's abilities. "Well done… but I could've done it faster," he muttered under his breath so that Ayaka won't her him otherwise he a dignified senior might get scolded and lashed out in front of my own disciple.
As the group prepared to leave, Bulma found the sixth Dragon Ball among the ruins. The Ox-King and Chi-Chi bid farewell to Ayaka and her companions. Chi-Chi asked Goku to visit her again, hinting at marriage, but Goku, now understanding the responsibilities of marriage, respectfully declined to make any promises.
Bulma's mood remained sour as she looked at Goku, her frustration quietly growing.
The journey continued as Ayaka and her group encountered Master Carrot's legion before heading toward Pilaf's castle to locate the final Dragon Ball.
This revised chapter aligns with the changes you requested, showcasing Ayaka's intervention while preserving the narrative's flow. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like fine-tuned!
After aiding Ayaka and the group in defeating Monster Carrot's legion, Yamcha naturally became part of the team searching for the Dragon Balls. Over the next ten days of traveling together, Yamcha began to make noticeable progress in overcoming his fear of women. Although he still felt nervous around them, his phobia had diminished significantly, and his interactions became much smoother. The group noted that it wouldn't be long before Yamcha overcame his fear entirely.
During one of the quieter moments of their journey, Oolong brought up Bulma wanted to wish while Goku was off exploring a distant area. Bulma didn't answer just looked at bit shy.
Ayaka, sitting beside her, grinned mischievously. "I know it," Ayaka teased from beside Bulma. "Bulma wants a Prince Charming!"
Blushing, Bulma glared at Ayaka, embarrassed. "Ayaka, how can you just tell people's wishes out loud!"
"What? Prince Charming?" Oolong was startled. "You mean this whole journey was just for such a silly wish? You traveled the world for this?"
"BANG!" Bulma smacked Oolong's head in retaliation.
Bulma's cheeks turned bright red, and she glanced briefly in the direction where Goku was wandering. The idea of wishing for a boyfriend suddenly felt less urgent—she couldn't help but wonder if she even needed such a wish anymore.
"Does this mean you're rethinking your wish, Bulma?" Ayaka teased, her grin widening. "Maybe you already have someone in mind?"
Bulma fidgeted nervously but didn't respond. Meanwhile, Oolong rolled his eyes. "Seriously? All this effort for a boyfriend? If it were me, I'd wish for the love of all the women in the world!"
"Do you think everyone's as perverted as you?" Ayaka retorted with disdain, shaking her head.
"So Yamcha, what's your wish for the Dragon Balls?" Goku asked as he returned to the group joining in the conversation.
Ayaka answered with a smirk, "Oh, Yamcha wants to overcome his fear of women."
This caused the group to laugh. Even Yamcha chuckled awkwardly, though he secretly hoped the Dragon Balls could help him sooner rather than later.
Suddenly, the group's hovercar was struck by a rocket fired from above. Pilaf's gang had launched an ambush, causing the car to shake violently. Before they could react, a robot emerged and snatched five of their Dragon Balls.
Ayaka could have stopped the theft with ease, her strength and battle power far surpassing the Pilaf gang. However, she chose not to intervene, recognizing the importance of letting this major storyline unfold naturally.
Bulma panicked as she watched the Dragon Balls being taken, but Ayaka calmly reassured her, pulling out the Dragon Ball radar. "Don't worry. We still have Goku's Four-Star Ball. The radar shows the other six Dragon Balls are now together. This is the perfect chance to strike back!"
Bulma's mood improved as Ayaka's confidence invigorated her. "You're right! Let's teach them a lesson and take back what's ours!" she declared.
The group quickly set off toward Pilaf's castle.
The group arrived at Pilaf's castle as night fell. Despite Ayaka's warnings, Pilaf's gang tricked them into entering and trapped them inside. Determined to escape, Ayaka turned to Goku. "Goku, it's time to show them your strength. Destroy the castle and set us free."
Goku confidently nodded, assuming the familiar stance of Kamehameha. His improved battle power of 250 made the move far more potent than in the original storyline. The energy wave blasted the castle apart with dazzling force, revealing the full moon hanging overhead.
Ayaka's sharp instincts kicked in as she saw Goku gazing at the full moon. "Everyone, get back now!" she shouted, her voice firm.
Bulma, Yamcha, Oolong, and Puar scrambled to safety as Goku froze in place. His body began to grow, his features morphing until he transformed into a rampaging Giant Ape. With his amplified strength, he wreaked havoc across the castle grounds.
Bulma looked on in terror. "What's happening to Goku? Why is he turning into… that?"
Ayaka explained calmly, "The full moon triggers this transformation. Goku loses his humanity and gains incredible strength. Stay here—I'll handle this."
Ayaka approached the rampaging Giant Ape with determination. Her mastery of Ki control allowed her to remain calm despite the overwhelming aura of the transformed Goku. She dodged his attacks with precision, using her advanced techniques to keep him at bay.
As the Giant Ape unleashed a powerful energy beam, Ayaka deflected it effortlessly, sending it toward a distant mountain. The resulting explosion left Bulma and the others speechless, shocked by the scale of the battle.
Summoning a razor-sharp Ki blade, Ayaka moved with lightning speed. Before Goku could react, she delivered a precise strike to his tail, severing it and reversing the transformation.
Goku returned to his original form, unconscious but unharmed. Ayaka carried him back to the group, ensuring he was safe.
"Is Goku alright? Ayaka why did Goku become a giant ape and he reverted back into his original self when you cut his tail?" Bulma asked a bit concerned as she sat beside the unconscious Son Goku.
"Yes Goku is fine and as for how he become a big Gorilla is because we both are Saiyan's and we can transform into Giant ape if we look at the full moon and it's requirements are Saiyan's should have their Saiyan Tail with them that's why I cut his tail to change him back as he is too weak to control himself in that form." Ayaka explained calmly while stroking the Kid Goku's hair a bit and covering his body with a blanket she took out from her storage capsule.
During their journey, Bulma had noticed Ayaka's tail swaying lightly behind her. Curiosity got the better of her so she asked her now "Ayaka, you have a tail like Goku? How does that work that you didn't transform when you also looked at the Full moon?"
Ayaka smiled patiently. "Yes, Bulma, I do. But unlike Goku, I've mastered a special iris technique that allows me to control the lunar energy entering my body. This means I can transform at will, without losing control."
Bulma's eyes widened in awe but she asked a bit curiously as Goku is her little brother so how come he didn't know this technique "That's incredible! Could Goku learn that technique too?"
Ayaka nodded thoughtfully. "I plan to teach him once he's able to channel his Ki throughout his body without any issues. For now, he's still developing his Ki control. Once he's ready, he'll be able to harness this technique and gain mastery over this transformation as currently his mental strength is definitely not enough."
With Pilaf's castle destroyed and their Dragon Balls reclaimed, the group turned their attention to Pilaf's attempts to summon Shenron. Ayaka prepared the team for the challenges ahead, her strength and wisdom guiding them toward the final stage of their journey.
