Chapter 51
Last time on DragonBall AF, Appolysis transformed into an ascended state! Now much stronger than before, he has easily put Goshin down for the count. Goku Jr tries to rush to his aid, but will he be in time before Appolysis kills his brother?
"It's about time you DIE!" Appolysis rose his foot, ready to crush Goshin's head into a pulp, until he heard a familiar call and saw a glint of something in the corner of his eye.
"KAMEHAMEHA!" Goku Jr had released the Kamehameha wave into Appolysis' path, forcing him to move out of the way and away from Goshin. "I'm coming Goshin!" yelled Goku Jr as he flew towards him.
"You scum!" bellowed Appolysis. "I said you were next, but if you wish to die now, that's fine by me!" The demon king then started barreling at the two brothers when Goku Jr surprised him again.
"Close your eyes Goshin!" said Goku Jr as he jumped in front of him. "SOLAR FLARE!" The bright light flashed from Goku Jr's hands and instantly blinded Appolysis.
"What the hell! I can't see, damn you!" Appolysis floated back down to the ground about ten yards away from the boys, rubbing his eyes.
Goku Jr turned around and looked at his hurt brother. "Goshin, your back! Can you even move!"
"It's- it's not as bad as you though," replied Goshin as he began getting up. "It's more or less a flesh wound. He pierced a few layers of skin, but it wasn't really that deep, just a lot of bloodshed. Now go Goku! I must finish this battle, even if it means my demise!"
"No way!" yelled Goku Jr. "I have a plan that will kill Appolysis once and for all! And we have to hurry before he regains sight!"
The demon king was staggering about. "AHHHHHH! Too much light! I can't even open my eyelids! DAMN YOU! I WILL KILL YOU! HAAAAAA!" Appolysis rose into the air and started spinning rapidly. Then, he started releasing ki blast after ki blast, just hoping he'd hit the two boys. "I'LL KILL YOU!"
Goshin and Goku Jr saw the barrage coming and quickly moved. "Quick! Over here!" said Goku Jr, pointing towards a small cave.
"All right, what's this plan you have in mind?" snapped Goshin.
"We have to hurry, and hopefully you remember how me and Vegeta did it," replied Goku Jr.
"Wait, you're asking me to do THAT?" said Goshin.
"Yes," answered Goku Jr. "The only way we can win is through Fusion."
Miles away, Son Goku was speeding towards the location of the fight along with Jin. "Goku," asked Jin. "Do you really think you have the power to defeat Appolysis?"
"I dunno," replied Son Goku with a suspicious stare. "If that energy I'm feeling is his, and I'm almost positive it is, I'm not sure. I just noticed an enormous spike in his power a few moments ago. But I'm more excited than scared right now. Fighting somebody head on like this, getting to use my real power for the first time in ages!"
"Interesting," replied Jin. "Do you feel… confident in your full power though?"
What is he getting at? thought Son Goku. I don't know how much longer I'm going to play along, but this is really getting weird. "Yes. Yes I do."
"I see," answered Jin. "Let's hope this power is enough to defeat Appolysis." The time has almost come to act on my plan!
"So please tell me you remember how to do Fusion!" pleaded Goku Jr.
"Of course I do," replied Goshin. "It's very rare for me to forget anything that I see."
"Well then let's hurry up and do it!" yelled Goku Jr. The random ki blasts being fired by Appolysis were rattling throughout the cave as dust started to fall. "We aren't gonna have a hiding place much longer plus Appolysis will eventually get back his sight! Now spread out so we got room!"
"I know what I'm doing," seethed Goshin. The brothers got to opposite sides of the room and outstretched their arms. "Are you even with my power level?" he shouted.
"Yes!" answered Goku Jr. "Let's go!"
"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… sionnnnnnnnnnn… HA!" The boys touched fingertips at exactly the right point as a bright light came forth. In a matter of seconds the light dissipated.
"WHAT THE HELL! I'm still me!" shouted Goku Jr.
"Damn it!" shouted Goshin. "We have to get out of here now, it's about to cave in!" The small cavern began to rumble so the two Saiyans quickly exited just moments before it collapsed.
"I FINALLY FOUND YOU BASTARDS!" hollered Appolysis, his eyesight finally coming back. "HAAAAAAAAA!" Appolysis started flying straight towards them.
"Why the hell didn't it work, it doesn't make sense!" said Goshin.
Then, Goku Jr's eye caught something. "Goshin! That's it!" he exclaimed. "I'm a few inches taller than you now! We have to be the same size! Quick! Take off your boots!"
"What!"
"No time for that!" shouted Appolysis, and with both his fists outstretched, he connected with the boys faces', sending them sprawling into the pile of rubble behind them. The demon king then started walking towards them. "That's the last time anyone will get the best of me! I'll crush you both, and then that other friend of yours!"
Uubu had managed to get to higher ground while Appolysis was letting off his ki barrage and was intently watching the events unfold. "Appolysis is just stronger than ever now! If I were to try and jump in, I don't know how much help I would be! If I've learned anything in the past century, it's to not jump in when there's no hope like I did against Omega Shenron. But if something happens to the boys, I have no choice but to at least try!"
"Goshin, take off your boots!" grunted Goku Jr, buried in the rubble.
"I already have, but you're not even sure if that will work. Plus we're not going to get another chance to fuse," replied Goshin.
"We can if we both attack Appolysis at the same time and knock him down for just a moment. Now let's jump out of here and get him head-on on the count of three!" said Goku Jr.
Goku's getting more confident now, thought Goshin. Good for him. Hopefully this will make him even stronger.
"One.. two… THREE!" The two brothers jumped out at exactly the same time, stunning Appolysis. "SUPER DRAGON WAVE!" In unison, both brothers released the two beams at Appolysis who tried to hold both attacks back.
"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!" he yelled in anger. Goshin and Goku Jr kept on giving and wouldn't let up until finally Appolysis could keep his defense up no longer. The waves finally exploded making a cloud of dust all around the demon king. Goshin and Goku Jr flew to the top of a nearby cliff to hurry and attempt the dance once again.
"NOW!" yelled Goku Jr. "Fuuuuuuuu… si…" But before they could finish, Appolysis leapt from the dust and started heading right towards the boys.
"Demon Soul Striker!" Appolysis launched the attack towards them and they had to stop right in the middle of their fusion and barely avoided the explosion. Appolysis then quickly disappeared and then reappeared directly behind Goshin without a sound. THUWCK
"AHHHHH!" Goshin was slammed in the back of his head and lost his balance in the air for a moment but quickly regained himself, but Goku Jr was already face-to-face with the demon king.
"BASTARD!" he yelled. "HA!" Goku Jr went in for the quick but he completely missed. Appolysis pulled his fist back, ready to punch Goku Jr even higher into the air until Goshin arrived just in time.
"HAA!" The young Saiyan releasedfour quick ki blasts that he easily blocked, but it was enough to take his mind off Goku Jr. "GOKU! Get his backside!" yelled Goshin. He flew head on towards Appolysis, while Goku Jr quickly turned around mid-air to nail him in the backside.
THOWCK Appolysis managed to block both punches, but just barely. Both boys were till pushing hard, trying to break Appolysis defense once again. "I won't give IN!" thundered Appolysis. He began powering up a bit more, as did Goku and Goshin.
Then, Goku Jr made a ball of ki in his free left hand. Goshin saw this and proceeded in doing the same. Goku Jr noticed and smiled. "NOW GOSHIN!"
"HAAAAAAAA!" The boys released their ki blasts, point blank and hit Appolysis' face and the back of his head.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Appolysis stopped powering up and let down his guard, allowing Goshin to connect his punch into Appolysis face as Goku jr swiftly kicked him in the back sending him straight into the mountain side. BOOM
"Now's a good time as any!" said Goshin frantically. The boys quickly touched down and stood about 10 feet from each other.
"FUUUUUUUUU… SIONNNNNNNNN… HA!" Again the bright life came forth again. Uubu shielded his eyes as he was watching from afar. Appolysis burst from the pile of rocks, almost unscathed but shaken, and started flying towards them.
"What are they doing!" he wondered aloud. The light finally dissipated and a look of disbelief came over Appolysis' face. "One… person?"
Where the two brothers once stood, there was now one. His arms were crossed, and a gigantic golden aura around him. His hair was a deep orange and his fur bright red. He looked up at his enemy, knowing he was neither Goshin or Goku Jr.
"Your time has come Appolysis. I, Shinku, will be the one to send you to your maker!"
"What the-" Son Goku stopped flying in mid-air as he was overcome with a strange feeling. "I just felt a massive rise in ki! Even more so than the last burst I felt! What's going on?" Suddenly, Jin leapt from Son Goku's back and began to float on his own.
"That's it! I tire of waiting!" he yelled.
Son Goku gave him an angry look. "All right, tell me who you are right now!" he demanded. "You obviously aren't just an innocent bystander!"
"You could say that," chuckled Jin. "everything I told you earlier was true. There's just one thing I left out. I WANT TO DEFEAT APPOLYSIS! He killed my family, but I'm not strong enough to defeat him! I can barely control my own ki! The few real techniques I know, is the ability to fly obviously, and the ability to absorb power. I need your power Goku, and I will take it from you! I will be the one to kill Appolysis! NOT YOU!"
In a startling turn of events, Jin has been revealed as more so a foe than friend. Just how does he plan on absorbing Son Goku's power with his own seemingly limited strength? And what of the newly formed Shinku? Is the fusion for two Saiyan brothers enough to take down the demon king Appolysis? Find out in the next exciting chapter of DragonBall AF!
