Ace slowed to a stop, looking about. He heard a beeping, but it took him a moment to identify where it came from. "My scouter...?" he fumbled about for a moment, then pulled out his scouter and pulled it on as he resumed his flight. "Shiro? Yeah, I read ya."

"So these things actually work? That's a relief. Hey, how's the search going? How many balls have you found so far?"

Ace chuckled. "Yeah, seems they work. The search is going well. I've found five so far, and I'm in the process of finding a sixth one right now. And I suspect the seventh may be on Namek."

"Yeah, we think so too. Whoever's gathering the Namekian dragonballs has six, plus one not from the set. We're gonna need some help getting them back. How long do you think it'll take you to get that sixth ball?"

"Heh...wonderful," Ace said. Letting out a slight sigh, he continued... "I'm not sure how much longer I'll be, but I'll do my best and find it as quickly as possible. So see you soon."

"Thanks, and sorry about this. Take care with that last one. See ya." The connection went dead, leaving Ace to finish finding the ball.

"Alright then..." As soon as the connection went dead, Ace sighed, taking the scouter off. He looked at it for a second, then shook his head and returned it to his pocket. "Okay; no rush, but I should still try and move quickly."

"I need to get the ball and go. No time for dilly-dallying this time." Ace clenched his free hand and put on more speed. "And even if I didn't have to go help Shiro and Cacao on Namek, there'd still be the problem of Earth! So I just don't have time at all!"

He sighed deeply, but checked his radar again to forestal further thought on the subject. "Whoa... I'm close. Should be just up...ahead... Oh COME ON!" He came to a dead stop in the air as he said this.

The reason why, you ask? The place the signal was coming from. "A fucking volcano?! Oh come on!" He just hovered there, fuming mad for several seconds. After almost half a minute, he sighed. "Oh well..."

Turning off his radar, Ace put in one of his pockets. "Times like this I really wish my clothes were fire retardent..." he mused. But, letting his ki flare up around him, he shot up, over, and down into, the volcano.

"Not like that would do much good... Jesus, it's hot in here!" Ace grumbled, looking around in the volcano. But after only a short look around, a loud, piercing cry shook the volcano. "The fuck?!" covering his ears, Ace spun around...

And the sight that met him was, to be honest, so terrifying, Ace couldn't even start a lame joke. A massive pterodactyle, its skin as red as the lava below it, and with a bright red aura of ki burning around it, and a very, very angry expression on its face.

"Oh crap..." Ace mumbled. "This...is not good..."
The 'dactyl opened its mouth and let out another piercing shriek, which shook the entire volcano, it seemed, and shot forth a large blast of ki.
"OH SHIT!"

Ace darted to his left, the blast flying by and hitting the side of the volcano with devastating effect. It produced a dazzling explosion which hurled debris everywhere. "Gah! Man, this thing is strong..."

But Ace grinned. "Well, at least it's normal," he said. "Kinda..." He shook his head, put he just powered up to his max. "Okay, you flying reptile, come get some!" He charged at the 'dactyl with that, fist drawn back. He threw a punch, but was met with a vicious swipe from one of the dactyl's wings, knocking him back.

"Gwah..." Ace was sent sailing through the air. The strength in those wings was enormous! Enough to actually hurt! "Okay, this isn't gonna be easy... Might have to force it into the lava to end this...it's too strong to try and fight."

"But...living IN the volcano and all...that might not even work..." Ace sighed. "Guess I'll just have to overpower the damn thing somehow." Shaking his head, Ace dropped into a fighting stance, not realizing just how stupid it might have looked.

"Okay, you stupid dinosaur, come and get it!" Ace said, his voice full of useless challenge. But the pterodactyl, nonetheless, shrieked at him and flapped its wings, rocketign from its perch toward him. "WAK! Fast!" That was Ace's reaction.

Ace had no time to dodge the massive prehistoric bird, and so he got a face full of...well...pterodactyl face. And was smashed into the wall of the volcano, crushed between the prhistoric bird's head and the rock. "Ough...that...hurt..." he gasped. "A lot..."

"I don't think I can fight this thing..." Ace groaned as the pterodactyl backed away from the wall and Ace fell a few dozen feet before he caught himself and shot back up, AWAY from the lava. "It's too strong...gotta just try and get the ball and leave..."

"Because I really doubt trying to outfight this dino here would be the best of ideas." He dodged another blast from the pterodactyl, once again flinging rubble everywhere, only to get blasted by two lasers. "Ggh! Eye lasers?! COME ON!"

Ace groaned, both in pain from the attack and from the sheer ridiculousness of the situation. A pterodactyl with eye lasers...what the hell was going on here? There was definitely something wrong with that, for sure!

"I suppose this is what I get for wishing for something normal..." he mumbled, covering his ears as the prehistoric bird let out another cry of what Ace could only assume was territorial rage or some such.

"SHUT UP!" Ace shouted, only to have his voice drowned out by another cry from the dinosaur. "This is riduculous..." he mumbled. "Gotta try and outsmart the damn thing..." He hovered in place for a moment, then dashed forward.

The 'dactyl let out a shriek as it flapped its massive wings and shot forward at him. "Playing chicken, eh? Alright! You asked for it!" Ace said with a grin, bringing his fists back by his sides for that fraction of extra speed.

The moment Ace and the pterodactyl were about to collide, Ace left an after image as he shot straight up and over the prehistoric bird of prey. "Hah!" He watched as the dumbfounded bird flew straight ahead and into the wall of the volcano, head-first.

Ace just stopped and laughed. He couldn't help it; such a massive beast as this pterodactyl, failing as hard as it just had. It was the most hilarious thing he had ever seen! And even though laughing and sitting there probably wasn't the best of ideas, he didn't care for the moment.

"Okay... While the pterodactyl is distracted by that, time to try and find the ball right quick..." He pulled out his radar and turned it on. "Okay, it's close by... Should be...right....over...there!" He pointed in a seemingly random direction.

Ace glanced in the direction he was pointing and grinned. "I was right!" There, sitting wedged in a crevice in the rocks, in the middle of a circle of stones that Ace could only assume was the pterodactyl's nest, was the dragonball.
