"Crap!" Yamcha said slowing down the car as Puar exited the vehicle in Clay's appearance.

Puar ran off leading at least one squad car away from Clay and Yamcha. She ran quickly focusing to keep clays form.

"Take the wheel!" Yamcha said as they lined up the car and he leaped out of the open driver window, kicking through the Capsule Corp passenger window and proceeded to pummel the guards in the vehicle.

"Wha...shoot!" Clay shouted as Yamcha jumped out of the car and he scrambled to move to the driver's seat, reaching the steering wheel and turning off onto the side of the road as the car Yamcha was beating up swerved off to the opposite side. He looked up to see the car chasing Puar approach a tall hill as they proceeded to chase after Puar up the hill on foot. Clay jumped out and chased after the guards, hoping to catch up before they hurt Puar!

Puar disappeared over the hill and when they arrived a young girl in horribly inappropriate armor with a crescent moon blade helmet was sitting the river kicking her feet in the water.

The guards saw the girl and were both baffled and...intrigued, until Clay jumped onto one of their backs, slamming him into the ground. The other turned to fire their gun, but Clay kicked his foot upwards and knocked the gun out of their hands, but stumbled to the ground as the other guard grabbed his legs.

The girl got up and ran jumping up and stomping on his head and then jumping to the other and then running back the way they came. "Come on we gotta go"

Clay scrambled to his feet, following Puar as the scantily clad woman as one of the guards got to their feet and fired their machine gun towards them, bullets whizzing around them as they ran out of his line of sight. It wouldn't be for long though.

Yamcha ran to Clay's car, nursing a bruise on his head from the crash, as he heard gunfire and Clay running down the hill with Puar's Chi-Chi disguise. "Come on!" He shouted sliding into the driver's seat.

Puar made sure to headbutt the tires of the capsule corps cars with the helmet blade before leaping in the car with Yamcha turning back.

Clay jumped in the passenger seat as Yamcha put the pedal to the metal as they sped off, avoiding a few random bullets before the guards ran out of ammo. After several more minutes speeding off like that, Clay looked to Yamcha and pat his shoulder. "I think you can slow down..." He said.

Yamcha exhaled deeply as he slowed down speed down and glanced back to Puar. "You ok?" He asked.

"No One of those cops got tighter pants at my disguise. Ewww." She answered sitting back in her seat.

"Hope you hit him extra hard," Yamcha replied as he looked to Clay. "Ok...so uh...where are we going?"

"Here, lemme drive," Clay said as they pulled over. He generally knew how to get to Squirrel Town, but they'd have to find out where Master Wilford was. As he walked by, he saw Puar back in her cat form and...just instinctually gave her a 'good cat' pat on the head. "Thanks for saving me," he said to her as he walked to the driver's seat.

"Happy to help buddy. " She said cheerfully and buckled up.

---SHORTLY LATER---

Ms. Kalco entered into the Mineral Town board room with some tissue up her nose to stop the bleeding. Apparently, she would not only have to report that Clay McKinley escaped, but she would have to tell it to Dr. Gadget himself along with the other board members in the area. She wasn't even aware that Dr. Gadget was around! But she had let a murderer escape and she had to face some consequences.

She approached the board, seated in tables arranged in a semi-circle, as she gripped her clipboard and bowed. "I apologize profusely," she said. "It appears that the culprit Clay McKinley had unexpected help in his escape. No deaths, but he still got away."

"I am well informed. Including your not following the P.R. messaging. Would you please give me some privacy while I discuss business with Ms. Kalco" he pressed a button and the other board members vanished from their seats as the projectors turned off. Leaving her alone with the CEO who had come in person to Mineral Town instead of his office in Capsule Cape. He stood by the window looking out at the town. " How is your nose?" He asked non chalantly

Ms. Kalco felt much more nervous realizing it was just her and the boss now. She tried to stop her shaking ankles as she continued. "B-better," she said. "Sir, please...I want to stop this man. He killed a very beloved person of our community. All I want is to see him pay."

"I Shot Jerry in the back of the head while he was examining the girl my daughter's age he murdered in cold blood. Thoughtlessly because he wanted to rush collecting the Dragonballs. Jerry was a liability to Capsule Corps and our image. And our official statement says the boy did it to avenge the girl. Because everyone knows him and his reputation as a citizen is stellar. And you paraded around like he's some bandit. A thug. Are you a liability to Capsule Corps Ms. Kalco?" He asked not looking back at her

Ms. Kalco's expression dropped hearing that. One of their guards murdered the girl? She paused and took a deep breath. "There was a miscommunication, sir," she said, trying to stay firm. "I would never have acted rashly if the one who reported to me was informed correctly." She paused again. "...this is about these...dragon balls?" She asked.

"Yes magical wish granting orbs apparently. The Boy had one in his pocket. As a man of science I believe it's poppycock. But if such a thing does do what it claims we must study it and ensure it does not fall into the wrong hands. Imagine if someone wished to rule the world? Or an endless ice age. Humanity is too greedy and selfish to be entrusted with such power... Assuming the legends are even true if not that poor girl was entered into Project Phoenix for nothing." He explained.

Ms. Kalco listened intently, seemingly getting the goal. "...you would need people you can trust to find them," she continued as she pulled the tissues out of her nose and bowed. "...I know I failed you in more than one way. But...if it would vindicate myself in your eyes, I would like to help you find the dragon balls, sir. Perhaps...it can be a smaller team to keep the situation more discreet." She paused. "I apologize, I do not wish to impose. I...just really want to do right for the company. For you."

"I believe your heart is in the right place. And you have a good head on your shoulders... But you aren't a fighter Ms. Kalco. You'll need assistance." He reached into his lab coat and pulled out a capsule tossing it down and a display case appeared before her. " I believe this is your size."

Ms. Kalco covered her eyes as the capsule unpacked and she saw a display case with...a suit. And not just any suit. A state of the art combat suit! Like the ones that other government militaries fantasized having. She approached it cautiously and touched the armor. It felt...powerful. She looked to Dr. Gadget. "Where shall I go first?" She said determinedly.
