Chapter 13

Last time on DragonBall AF, Android 10 had resurfaced, stronger than other and began pummeling Goku. But, while 10 wasn't paying any attention, Goku threw a Senzu bean to Vegeta who ate it and regained his strength. Seeing Goku getting beat up provoked Vegeta to transform into something that no one had ever seen in over 100 years! Vegeta finally defeated Android 10, and Goku regained his strength as well, only to be met by the forces of the Red Ribbon Army.

Thousands of army men, tanks, and choppers started to close in on the boys as they stood watching in awe at the magnitude of the army.

"There's so many!" said Goku. "Can we really kill all of these people?"

"I think we have to!" replied Vegeta. "Think of what would happen if we didn't!"

"Vegeta, you know we outclass them in every way!" yelled Goku. "This isn't right!" Vegeta just stared at him.

"They're the ones that are provoking me," answered Vegeta. "They're gonna get it." And he jumped into the sky and started to fly toward the choppers.

"WAIT!" shouted Goku. Vegeta intercepted one of the choppers and let off a ki blast right in front of the pilots eyes. Vegeta then proceeded in doing the same to another and all Goku could do was watch.

Why is this happening? he thought. Why did we have to be dragged into this? I don't want to kill anyone, but we've been forced too, and now, there's so many, but they're so weak. They don't stand a chance against us! Why won't Vegeta realize this! We need to work something out.

Then, Vegeta swooped toward the ground and kicked one of the tanks aside and soon after exploded. Finally, Goku could take no more.

"VEGETA! STOP!" Goku yelled at the top of his lungs. Vegeta did so and looked back toward him.

"NOW MEN!" yelled the general. "THIS IS OUR CHANCE!" The guns began to fire. The foot soldiers released their bazookas. The choppers opened fire as well, and Vegeta was surrounded in a cloud of dust. After about thirty seconds of this, the general gave the signal to stop. "ENOUGH!"

When the smoke cleared, Vegeta was still standing. "Fools," he said.

"Im-impossible!" stuttered the general.

"No, it's not," Vegeta answered calmly and he began to walk toward the general. The soldiers behind him cocked their guns, and Vegeta stopped. "I'm done killing you, now let me speak."

"What is he doing?" whispered Goku to himself.

"You morons have now seen what I'm capable of," said Vegeta. "I can easily take out your men, and just as easily take whatever they dish out. This is your only chance. Leave now, or you will all die. You have no chance. And besides, even if I didn't kill you, Commander Red would get you in the end. Do you really think he'd let you live after you couldn't defeat me? So as you can see, this is a lose-lose situation for you. I'll give you a minute to think about it."

Vegeta walked back toward Goku and let the men confer among themselves. "What's going on, you hardly ever act like this," said Goku.

"I know, but what you said, about us outclassing them...is true," said Vegeta. "Hope they choose wisely. And as soon as Vegeta said that, the army began retreating. The soldiers on foot and in the tanks boarded the choppers and in about a minute, almost all of Commander Red's army, had abandoned him.

As they were flying away, the head general yelled, "When ya see Red, tell him General White says, up yours! HAHAHAHA!"

"Well," remarked Vegeta, "it seems Red wasn't the most respected of leaders."

"I guess so!" laughed Goku.

"Hey, where are the Dragon Balls?" asked Vegeta. "They weren't damaged were they?"

"I don't think so," answered Goku. "After Android 10 slammed us the first time, I thought the balls might get hurt, so I buried them before I went to take on 10 again. And if you let me see the radar, I'll show you they're still there." Vegeta took it out, and sure enough, thefour Dragon Balls they had collected were still buried.

"We'll recover them after we finish up with Red," said Vegeta. "It shouldn't take too long. There's probably only a few men still in the base. I think it's safe to say it's over!"

"DAMN IT NO!" yelled Red. "Those bastards abandoned me! I promise them a fair share of ruling the world and riches beyond comprehension and this is how I'm repaid? Do you think this is fair?" Standing next to him was the person from the shadows.

"Why are you asking me when you know the answer?" he replied. "You expected too much and it caused most of your men to rebel against you. And now it seems you have to rely on me, the person you least trust."

"What are you saying?" stammered Red.

"Stop playing stupid!" he yelled. "You know I can see into your mind. You've never trusted me. You've feared me, ever since you saw me with the six star ball. You wanted the Dragon Balls as much as I. But the thing was we only both wanted one wish..."

"You never even told me what you wanted with your wish," interrupted Red.

"Well that's none of your business, but when we first met, it was more like the balls would bring something to me, WITHOUT wishing it. You see, I want to fight these two boys, Goku and Vegeta Jr. very much. I knew they'd be looking for the Dragon Balls so I decided to hold that one until t they found me. The problem was, I'd never seen them fight and I wanted to se what they were capable of and if they were worth my time. Luckily, I guess, we met and I knew you had some potentially strong fighters within your army. I could then watch the two boys fight and learn more about them, which I have. And then you know the rest. I hid that DragonBall you were constantly looking for so that I always had the upper hand, in case something went wrong."

"Well what do ya know?" yelled Red, "the boys are coming now! You can finally fight them, OK? Then we'll call the dragon, make our respective wishes, and never have to see each other again!" BOOM Just then, the door to Red's office had been blown down and there stood Goku and Vegeta.

"Well," smiled Vegeta, "it seems I was wrong, there's onlytwo people left from... what the hell?" Vegeta's eyes grew wide and his mouth was wide open. "Goku, that guy, looks... just like you."

"What!" Goku stepped in and he froze. "Who...are you?"

"Well!" answered the shadowed figure. "We finally meet, brother!"

"BROTHER!" yelled everyone except the shadow person.

"Oh, perhaps I said this too soon," he replied. "You were supposed to be dead when I said that, Red."

Red turned towards him and fear overcame his face. "No, don't!" Goku's brother then picked him up, and threw Red from the 6 story window where the office was. "NOOOOOOOO-" CRUNCH Red had finally expired.

"Sorry you two had to watch that," said the murderer. "It was all necessary for my plan. I couldn't have any distractions."

Goku and Vegeta could do nothing but stand and shiver in fright. It was as if Goku was staring at his own reflection. "Again, who are you?" asked Goku, more determined than ever to find out the answer.

He walked around the room, as if ignoring Goku, and then sat at Red's desk. "As I said," he answered finally, "I am your brother, twin brother to be exact. My name is Goshin."

"My... twin brother?" replied Goku. "How can this be?"

"Well, before our inevitable, fight," Goshin answered, "I'll tell you a bit about my life. You see, when we were born, we were looked upon as normal children, as normal as a Saiyan/human hybrid can be! But anyway, a few months after our birth, our parents, along with Vegeta Jr.'s parents, decided to go out for a night on the town. But so our grandmother Pan wouldn't be so overwhelmed, they decided to bring me along as well and leave you for the night. Well, as it turns out, they were abducted, by a long forgotten race of aliens. Obviously, they had no use for me and I was left. But, a different group of these aliens returned, and took me. Their minds were greatly more developed than the one's who had taken my parents, and realized the power that was hidden deep inside me. They altered my mind, making me on a higher level of reasoning than most humans. And they also did one great thing for me. They gave me the ability to read other people's minds. This allowed me to grow even smarter. Then, they helped bring out my hidden Saiyan power at a young age, and that's when I learned they were going to use me as a tool to take over Earth.

"I began researching, looking for answers to my past. I found them, I found out where I came from and all the other information I just told you. Unfortunately, any data leading to my parent's whereabouts had vanished. I became angry. I could never forgive them for what they did to me! Abducting me, my parents! Trying to use me as a tool! Even though I grew stronger as a result, I still hated them!

"Then, I killed every living being on that ship. I traveled to their home world, in the depths of the galaxy and destroyed their planet. I went out to search for any survivors, and I'm most positive they were all dead. That happened one year ago. I came back to earth and I began to search for you and Vegeta, but mostly you, Goku. The hatred for you inside of me was unbearable! I asked myself countless times why I couldn't have stayed at home that day, why weren't you taken! Or why Vegeta Jr.'s parents had not brought him along! So I set off to find you. About 6 months ago, after traveling to many lands, reading people's minds, I found someone like me. It was Vegeta Jr. I soon figured out you were best friends and I began planning how to find you. I didn't want to come barreling into your house and hurt our grandmother who I have nothing against. So I read your minds, waiting for something to happen, something that would allow me to come face to face with you two alone. And then, I discovered your quest for the Dragon Balls. Luckily, I had found one when I had landed back on earth and kept it with me ever since. I decided to hold on to it because I knew you'd find me."

"Wait," said Goku, "all this, is so hard to understand. But I must know before you say anything else. What did you plan to wish for?"

"I think," replied Goshin, "you may already know the answer to that question..."

In a shocking turn of events, the Red Ribbon Army has been defeated, but now, the shadowed figure has been revealed to be Goshin, Goku Jr.s' twin brother! Does Goku really already know what Goshin's wish is? Find out, on the next thrilling chapter of DragonBall AF!
