>>5961087"You! How are you still here?! You should've been pummeled by my master Guruma!" The darkish teal-colored imp cried, trying to get up only to be pushed back down by Chi-Chi. Effectively angering the imp further as he wouldn't stand for this humiliating domination anymore.
"If you're talking about the monster that possessed gram-gram, then you just missed them as I sent their ass flying to kingdom come. Whatever plans you had in store for the dragon balls end here." You declare, holding the capsule tightly as you assure your comrades of your victory. You didn't know for sure if she was dead or not, but you couldn't allow yourself to show any signs of doubt or concern.
"Look at you finally coming in when the battle is more or less over." Bulma snarks, making a cocky smile as she blows the smoke from her index finger. "But thanks for the assist nonetheless."
"Sorry, I would've come sooner if I knew they would do a number on you. You look like road kill." You teased back, tapping the plane as it quickly transformed back into its capsule form. Before it would hit the ground you swiftly grab the capsule, putting it safely in your coat pocket. As for the Dragon Jewel, you carefully hopped from the plane towards where you saw the jewel land. Aiming to pick it up and secure it once more.
"Harr Harr. I just wasn't expecting these thieves to be that strong, Koku." Bulma pouts, letting her aura flare up as it starts to emit a golden orange aura as it envelops her. Almost bursting open, Bulma quickly reeled it back once she caught herself in the act of losing her temper once more. "Sorry about that, almost lost my cool there."
"Duly noted. Mind telling me what happened to the two of you?" You asked, picking up the dragon jewel and beginning to put it into a capsule container.
"To make a long story short, we were jumped by the smurf currently getting his ass handed by a...rather terrifying Chi-Chi. His lackey, the one you currently sent flying into the water took advantage of the ensuing chaos and struck me while taking the dragon balls. He was mumbling about trying to indoctrinate us into the Maozoku clan or whatever. Mainly to cause some trouble and be a loose end to keep you from following them if you'd somehow survive their leader. I tried to get the dragon ball back while protecting the dragon ball radar, but that assassin Maimai, or Mai for short tried to affect me with something called the Aqua Mist. Shapeshifted into Piliaf over there and used his technique to shower me in the dank, stuffy vapors. Afterward, it felt like I was losing myself as I was going berserk. Everything afterward became murky so I can't remember all that clearly. All I know is that chi-Chi saved me...and took whatever they did to me out of me and got a heavy load of that gunk." Bulma explained, placing a hand on her neck as it was still brandished with bite marks. All the while Chi-Chi gave off an intense, ruddy aura as it danced wildly in the distance.
