Chapter 50

Last time on DragonBall AF, the tides turned in the spectacular battle between Appolysis and Goshin. The young Saiyan had implored the use of his best technique, the living ki. Now inside and infecting Appolysis, how much longer will he be able to hang on? Does this really mean victory for our heroes?

"AHHHHHHHH!" A might yell rose from Appolysis as he charged toward Goshin. He hit him in the face with a left hook, but Goshin came right back with a shot to the gut. The two fighters then became deadlocked, exchanging a number of punches and kicks.

"Wow," marveled Uubu, "either Goshin has more confidence since using his living ki, or Appolysis is already being heavily affected by it."

"What you don't think his attack can work!" exclaimed Goku Jr.

"I didn't say that," replied Uubu. "It doesn't matter really. As long as Goshin can feel confident enough to beat him, I know he can do it."

As if on cue, right after saying that, something happened to Appolysis. "RAHHHHHHH!" The demon king let his guard down and started grabbing his stomach and coughing up blood.

"YES! It's working!" yelled Goshin. "Super Dragon Wave!" The wave emanated from Goshin's hand and was headed straight for Appolysis. By the time he looked up, it was already too late. BOOOOM The explosion of the attack connecting was deafening and heaps of earth went flying everywhere blinding everyone. "Fool…" muttered Goshin to himself.

Meanwhile, Son Goku was still speeding towards the battle along with his new found companion, Jin. "So do you think we are almost there Goku?" he asked.

"Yes," he answered. "We should hopefully be there in about 15 minutes."

"Wonderful," replied Jin. "I can't wait to get my hands on him…"

"Wait a sec," said Son Goku. "You know you can't fight, right? You really must not know what you're up against then. The only reason you're with me is because I couldn't just leave you there."

A strange look overcame Jin's face. "Um… yes, of course. You're- you're right. Well let's hurry up and get over there."

"Definitely," said Son Goku and with another burst of energy he started going faster. This guy is starting to weird me out, thought Son Goku. I'm gonna have to keep my eye on him.

On the Planet of the Kais, all eyes were closely watching the battle unfold. "That was awesome!" exclaimed Vegeta Jr. "If Appolysis can get up after that, well I don't know then. You can't get more direct with that hit."

"You must not always be so sure of yourself," said Rou Dai. "I sense something out of the ordinary. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this battle has not reached its end yet."

"He's right," said Vegeta. "You assume too much boy. Maybe during your stay here you will realize how to see things differently, and perceive them the right way."

"What's that supposed to mean?" yelled Vegeta Jr. "You think I don't know what I'm talking about?"

"Well, most of the time no," answered Vegeta bluntly. Vegeta Jr got a little irritated by this. "But I to use to have the same attitude. Me and you are a lot alike, and maybe I can help you learn from my mistakes, so you won't have to go through the bad decisions that I made."

Vegeta Jr just stared at his ancestor for a moment until they heard Gohan's voice. "I knew it!" he stated. "Take a look guys." To everyone's surprise the smoke was starting to clear, and there standing in the middle of it was Appolysis.

Back in the Demon Realm, Goshin too saw what was in the clearing smoke. "Does he still want more? I don't know how much longer he can possibly last. Wait a minute… What is that?" Goshin turned around and looked into the distance. I feel some particularly… strong ki heading this way. And a weaker one with it. What the hell's going on? Does Appolysis have reinforcements or something. Hm, I guess I'll have to wait to find out. I better hurry up and get this over with before I worry anymore about it.

Goshin focused on his target, seeing he was a little beat up and was still hunched over from the pain swelling inside of him. Goshin started to descend as he was talking. "How much more can you take, hm? I can feel my ki building in your body. It won't be long until your life is over." Goshin landed softly and squatted right next to the demon king and whispered in his ear. "This is your last chance. Try and kill me now." Appolysis' head quickly turned.

"I'M NOBODY'S FOOL!" he yelled, raising his fist. "DIE! AHHHHHH- ah!" Appolysis stopped short in his attack as his arm muscles began to spasm.

Goshin put his palm in Appolysis face and let out a yell. "HA!" Goshin blew him away with only the force of his ki, sending him head over heels into a mountain side.

"He's winning Uubu! He's winning!" cheered Goku Jr.

"Yes, it is looking in our favor," replied Uubu.

Then, Goshin put his hands together yet again and began to chant. "KA-ME-HA-ME-"

All of sudden, Appolysis got up and sent the ruble that was on top of him flying everywhere. "THIS BATTLE IS FAR FROM OVER! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

His blue aura broke out again and shot out high into the sky, like it was a beam of light shining down on him. Sparks of lightning formed around his body and in the sky as the clouds began to turn dark.

Goshin ignored all this and proceeded. "-HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" The blue wave erupted and went straight towards Appolysis, but it was in vain. The Kamehameha hit the aura and was quickly absorbed into it. "This can't be!" screamed Goshin.

Inside the aura, Goshin and the others could see something occurring. Appolysis, already being overseven feet tall, began to grow even more, almost another foot. His muscles began to bulge. His biceps doubled in size as his quads became larger still. Then his skin began changing color from red to blue, the same hue as his aura. And while all this was going on, his power level was growing steadily.

"What's happening to him!" yelled Goku Jr.

"It's what I feared!" yelled back Uubu. "He had something sinister up his sleeve. A transformation!"

Goshin realized it too. What- what is he transforming into? Can I even stop it from happening! His power level keeps growing and growing! It feels like he's getting stronger than even me at my full power! If I do go to my full power, will it just be in vain! No, I must try, an hurry before he finishes! "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Goshin now started to power up as well as his yellow aura began to grow a little larger, but nowhere near Appolysis'.

His transformation was almost complete. Now, two horns started to grow from his forehead, and he screamed with pain as both of them emerged. Then, he started cringing as his skull began to change shape. His jaw became wider, but the rest of is face more slender. And finally, his pupils disappeared, leaving only a horrifying red blankness that seemed to suck you in if you stared for too long. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The demon king let out yet another yell as his aura was blown away, but along with it, was Goshin's living ki.

"Those silver things!" yelled Goku Jr. "I think that was the living ki! He was able to bring it out of him once he transformed, and he just blew it away, like it was nothing!"

"Yet another power of the demons we had no idea of knowing," muttered Uubu solemnly. Now with Appolysis done he turned towards Goshin, still powering up.

"I will save you the trouble of wasting your energy," said Appolysis. His voice was now deeper and darker than ever. "I will kill you right now!" Goshin stopped powering up and got into his battle pose, but the demon king suddenly disappeared. In less than a second, he reappeared behind Goshin, frozen in place.

"Im-impossible," he muttered, not looking behind him for he already knew Appolysis was there breathing down his neck. How can he be so fast? he thought. That speed is god-like, and with the size of those muscles! His speed is unparalleled!

THWUCK Appolysis stuck his hand into Goshin's back, and pulled it out quickly. Blood started flowing from the wound as Goshin fell to his knees, and then the ground. "Haha," laughed Appolysis. "I will let you suffer and contemplate your defeat for a moment before I smash your head in! HAHAHAHA!" And with a turn to Goku Jr and Uubu he said, "and you two will be next!"

Goku Jr and Uubu were frozen in place, their faces twisted in horror. "Go-Goshin…" stuttered Goku Jr. "I won't let you die, not like Vegeta!"

"Then you must have a plan of action!" yelled Uubu. "We can't go blindly into this! We will be defeated for sure!"

"I know exactly what to do now!" yelled Goku Jr. "But I have to hurry before Goshin loses consciousness! Get my back Uubu! I'm going down!" Goku Jr quickly powered up and went to the battlefield to join his brother.

"GOKU!" yelled Uubu.

Can Goku Jr save his brother and defeat Appolysis? What is his plan to do so, or is he just going in blindly? And what of Son Goku's companion Jin? What could he be up to? The answers will be revealed, next time on DragonBall AF!
