King Gurumes

Tora and Goku asked for and quickly ate some food the villagers had, Tora was thankful that King Gurumes wasn't stealing food too. Whenever Goku used a large amount of Ki he was always weaker until he ate, Tora wanted to make sure they were close to one hundred percent for the upcoming fight.

Tora went through Bongo's pockets and found a capsule. Tora threw it and the capsule transformed in a cloud of smoke into a Flying Disc with a weapon attached, just what Tora was hoping for. The weapon was a large double-sided hexagon shaped metal cudgel, it was collapsible and could fit in the Flying Disc.

Tora heard several fighter planes coming toward them "They really sent out this many planes just for just a disturbance, King Gurumes either thinks we have a Dragon Ball or he's incredibly paranoid. Goku, you take the Flying Nimbus and I'll take the Flying Disc we need to take out those planes!"

"Okay, Flying Nimbus!" Goku yelled into the sky. Goku jumped onto the Nimbus as it flew by and they both took off as Tora tried to mentally prepare himself. "These men could die from my attacks, but they're serving a corrupt king and are going to try and kill me. If they die it's their own fault.." Tora, the child who had already killed two people, told himself. Tora picked up the weapon and expanded it to it's full size, Tora felt like he was holding a oversized pugil stick from a gameshow.

The planes opened fire upon Tora and Goku and they both took evasive maneuvers, Tora moved unnaturally in the sky. "This Flying Disc is hard to control, it doesn't just move any way I wish like the Flying Nimbus can, I'll have to make sure I get my own later, for now..." Tora flew up above one of the planes and shot down at it swinging his cudgel and tearing through the right wing. The plane spiraled toward the earth, Tora couldn't look he just focused on the other planes.

He tried his best to attack the planes at angles they couldn't shoot, attacking their wings and moving onto the next. Two, three, four, five.. "Ahh!" A few bullet from a sixth plane hit Tora, he panicked for a moment until he realized they didn't pierce his body. "Thank god..." Tora may not have been killed but he wasn't bullet proof the attack hurt him. "They could have killed me, I can't hold back because I'm worried the could die."

The plane turned around to try and shoot at Tora again. "Ha!" Tora shot a Tiger Strike and the plane was pushed backwards and began to stall. Tora fly up and smashed his cudgel into the cockpit crushing it, and tearing the plane in two. Tora focused his breathing and didn't let himself think or feel instead he focused on seeing what was happening with the other planes.

Instead of more planes in the sky he saw Goku on the Flying Nimbus smiling and waving his Power Pole, it seems like he had taken down the other fighter planes. "Tora, are you okay? You don't look so good, you're sweating a lot." "I'm fine! Just.. Let's go finish this." Tora said looking toward the large castle.

Tora didn't have the mental strength to handle the situation he found himself in well, Jacob had never been in a fight in his life and before receiving Jacob's memories Tora was too scared to fight back against his elder disciples despite being stronger than them. Feeling like he had lost control was putting a lot of pressure on him, pressure he hadn't learned to handle.

Tora and Goku flew into the castle, going overhead of the ground forces securing the mountain the castle sat on. Gunners in the castle walls shot at them but couldn't aim high enough to hit them. Tora smashed a wall open with his cudgel and then put it and his Flying Disc back into their capsule form. "Let's keep moving, Goku."

They ran through the halls looking for where the the King was, the castle seemed mostly empty. "It looks like regular troops might not be allowed in this area for some reason." said Tora. "Why, do you think it's where they keep their food?" Goku said hungrily. "Dude we just ate." Tora laughed, having Goku around being himself helped Tora relax.

"What's taking so long, I need the Dragon Balls now!" said a deep voice that boomed through the hallways of the castle. "I think we found him, Tora!" said a smiling Goku. "I think you're right, speaking of in case he's really strong we need to do the Kamehameha wave together okay?" Tora knew if King Gurumes turned into his larger monster form Goku's Kamehameha wave wouldn't be able to hurt him, so Tora thought maybe a Double Kamehameha could.

They chased the sound of the angry monarch until they found a set of huge and heavy crimson doors, the pushed them open together to see the king sat his large table in the darkness. It was hard to see but King Gurumes was face down on the table rambling to himself.

"Such painful hunger..." his deep voice seemed to resonate through the castle. "The Dragon Balls, I need them, give it to me!" The king had turned purple and was triple his normal-human size, he wore white robes with a red cape. "Sorry, we already used the Dragon Balls, they can't be used for another year." said Goku honestly.

"A year?! I can't wait another minute!" His eye began to grotesquely grow larger and larger outside of his skull and soon the rest of his body began to expand rapidly and seemingly randomly. He ripped through all of his clothes and stepped on his desk, destroying it. When he stopped growing he was easily twenty feet tall, he approached Tora and Goku pushing stone pillars over with ease. Goku jumped at King Gurumes screaming,

"Goku wait!" but Tora called out too late and the monster king punched Goku straight down into the stone floor. "I bite my tongue..." he whined in a small crater. "HA!" Tora shot out a Tiger Strike which struck Gurumes but it only pushed him back five feet. "Goku get up, we're going to try the Double Kamehameha!"
