Emperor Pilaf's Castle
Everyone looked stunned at Tora for surprise attacking Monster Carrot who just said he wanted to be friends. "Tora, why'd you do that? He said he wanted to be friends!" Goku was confused, almost a little angry sounding to Tora. "It was a trick, you guys heard his goon earlier, he was trying to turn Bulma into a carrot." said Tora defending himself.
Tora ambushed Monster Carrot hoping he could speed this along. "What? Why this no good, stupid bunny." Bulma got out a kicked the unconscious Monster Carrot, who didn't move. "Geez kid, how hard did you hit him?" said Oolong sounding a little freaked out. "As hard as I could, he's not a danger to us now." Goku found Tora some rope and they tied up the Rabbits much to the surprise of the town.
Tora felt impatient he knew later today he'd have to successfully steal a wish to achieve his goal of becoming a Saiyan. "Tonight's the night." Tora left the Rabbits to the town to deal with, if they didn't have some sort of jail they'd have to figure something out on their own. "Let's go guys, the last Dragon Ball can't be that far away, speaking of here Bulma." Tora gave Bulma his Dragon Ball.
"Really, you'll give it to me?" Bulma was surprised, so far she had been lying to them that she just needed to borrow them with full intention of stealing them when the time came. "Yeah, consider it a thank you for the clothes." He put the 3 star Dragon Ball in her hand. Tora planned on leaving the group and hiding near by soon, but his Dragon Ball had to stay with the others so he could steal his wish.
They drove away leaving Fungus Town in a hurry thanks to Tora, with Yamcha and Puar following in secret. Unbeknownst to all of them Fungus Town was in an uproar, originally due to the heroics of the gang and followed up by a realization when they went to move the Rabbits. "Wait, are they..." Monster Carrot and Rabbit 1 had been dead. Tora had gone too far, attacked too hard without holding back, and without even knowing it killed two people for the first time in either of his lives. It had been avoidable but Tora's flaws were blinding him to the path he had set himself on.
The gang unaware continued traveling toward the final Dragon Ball. As they continued down the road they reached the ends the Mushroom forest as it's mushroom tree density thinned out leaving every tree to being at least thirty feet apart. "So this big wish, there's going to be enough for all of us right?" asked Oolong.
"Oh I forgot to tell you all, a boyfriend! That's what I'll wish for!" Bulma said happily. "What?! A boyfriend?! You're going to waste our wish so you can get yourself a boyfriend? What a rip off!" Oolong complained. This set Bulma off and the two began arguing again, almost causing Oolong to crash the car into a mushroom tree.
Eventually during the argument the car was attacked by a missile, everyone flew through the air and landed ten feet ahead of where the car wreckage was. They turned to see a mechanized suit of some kind land near them, Tora knew this machine sgould currently be piloting by Shu, Pilaf's anthropomorphic fox ninja minion.
"Wow, what is that?" asked Goku. "I've come to repossess your Dragon Ball!" said Shu in a computer assisted deep voice. He took Bulma's suitcase after making sure it had the Dragon Balls in it. "Thank you and so long, suckers! The ball are mine now!" He yelled before flying away.
"That thing just stole our Dragon Balls!" said a stunned Bulma. "Goku, Tora, quick go after the balls in the Nimbus! You're our only hope!" Goku nodded "Flying Nimbus!" The cloud flew down from the sky stopping in front of Goku and Tora as they both hopped on together. Goku and Tora eventually found the abandoned mech suit used by Shu and landed in front of it.
"Okay monster, don't you know it's not nice to steal stuff?!" Goku said taking out his Power Pole. "Goku, it's not a monster it's a machine, someone was piloting it but we're too late, they're gone." With no clues on where Shu went they had to fly back to Bulma.
"Tora! Goku! Where are they Dragon Balls?" Bulma asked when they returned. "I don't know." said Goku with a smile. Bulma dramatically fell down on her knees "It's all over." "Hey Goku, I have an idea but I'll need to borrow the Flying Nimbus for the day, would that be okay?" asked Tora. "Yeah, sure." Goku hopped off and Tora took to the sky.
He went high enough until he was sure no one could see him. "Now I wait." Soon Yamcha would arrive to play hero, and Bulma would realize Goku still had his ball so they still had a chance at getting her wish. Pilaf would capture them, and Oolong would steal their wish, it was the moment Tora's been waiting for. "I'll stop Oolong and make my wish come true."
Tora flew toward Pilaf's castle which was very visible this high up, it was a giant castle with an equally huge satellite dish on it, and waited for the gang to arrive. He watched as they entered Pilaf's castle after an hour and time continued to pass. Tora was too nervous about how much time he had before Pilaf would attempt his wish for world domination to meditate or use this time wisely, instead he sat on the Nimbus high above the earth staring down.
Night came and Tora began to decrease his altitude to make sure he could see Pilaf if he left the castle to make his wish, sure enough another hour went by and Tora saw Pilaf, Shu, and Mai exit the castle and set up the seven Dragon Balls on a purple pillow. The Dragon Balls now all together shined in the darkness like a beacon to Tora. "As soon as they summon Shenron, I make my move."
