Chapter 52
Last time on DragonBall AF, Goku Jr was finally able to implement his plan, Fusion! Now he and his brother Goshin have fused to create the powerful Shinku! But miles away, Son Goku has encountered a battle as well. Jin is not the innocent bystander that he thought. Will Son Goku be able to defeat him before he drains his energy?
"I'm not going without a fight!" yelled Son Goku. "If you plan on absorbing my energy, you're going to find yourself having a tough time. HAH!" And in an instant Son Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan. "This should more than suffice I'd say. But I'll give you one chance and only one chance. Give up, or I have no choice but to defeat you."
"We'll see about that!" yelled Jin, and he charged towards Son Goku.
Appolysis just stared at the newly formed Shinku. His mouth was gaping open, trying to understand what just happened. "Wh-where is the other boy! You don't even look like either of them!"
Shinku took a few steps towards the demon king. "That's because I'm neither. I'm somebody totally different, somebody totally stronger." Appolysis stood frozen in place as Shinku walked closer to him, and stopped right in front of him, putting his head right by Appolysis' ear and whispered. "You're gonna pay for the humiliation you caused Goshin."
THWUCK Appolysis went flying through the air. Shinku landed a blow right in the demon's gut and Appolysis was still reeling from the attack once he landed on the ground. HUCK Blood spurted from his mouth as he chocked on it. "Bastard…" he mumbled. "I WON'T LOSE TO THE LIKES OF YOU! AHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Appolysis flew at top speed toward the fused Saiyan, and just as he was about to punch him, Shinku vanished. Appolysis quickly turned around, but it was too late. Shinku was already there. Shinku gave a forceful kick to Appolysis' skull, sending him straight down to the ground in less than a second.
Uubu marveled in awe at the sight he was seeing from afar. "Wow, I can't believe this!" he exclaimed. "They were actually able to fuse with good thinking by Goku on the shoe thing. But they look almost as Son Goku and Vegeta did a century ago and their power has grown immensely. It looks like there's no way that we can lose now!"
Shinku descended to the ground and waited for Appolysis to get back on his feet. The demon king was covered with dust with blood flowing from multiple wounds. But his face was filled with malice and anger.
"DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!" Appolysis let loose a bevy of ki blasts, every single one connecting with Shinku. "HAHAHAHAHA! You can't even move! I'm still too fast for you! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" After about thirty seconds of this Appolysis finally stopped. When the smoke cleared, Shinku was still standing. His clothes were a little burnt, but other than that he was perfectly fine.
"Are you done now?" A look of surprise came over Appolysis' face and in a blink of an eye, Shinku's knee was in Appolysis' face, knocking him into the air.
"UNGH!" yelled Appolysis in pain. Before he could hit the ground, Shinku grabbed him by his shirt.
"I believe I now hold the title for being fastest," seethed Shinku. He cocked his fist back and threw another direct punch right into Appolysis' nose and then dropped him and let him fall to the ground in agony. "This shouldn't take much longer…"
"YAAAAAAAAAAH!" Jin took a swing at Son Goku but he dodged it with ease.
"Trust me," said Son Goku, "you don't want any of this. Give up now."
"But I must be the one to defeat Appolysis!" yelled Jin. "I need your energy and I will get it!" Jin charged blindly again and started giving a flurry of punches, all being blocked by Son Goku. Now's my chance! he thought to himself. "HAH!" Jin stopped his punching barrage and to the surprise of Son Goku, he became enveloped in a bright aura, but it was so bright that he couldn't even see Jin himself.
"What the-". Son Goku had no idea what was going on. Then, the light started to twist and turn and Son Goku then realized that Jin WAS the light.
Then the light shot towards Son Goku, but he dodged it. The light came back around, faster than before, but Son Goku couldn't figure out what the purpose of this was.
"What is he trying to do? Just run into me? Is this how he absorbs energy? He hits me and somehow gets inside my body? Well let's see what happens when I do this. KA-ME-HA-ME-HA!" Son Goku released the wave and made a direct hit on the light that was Jin. But Son Goku wasn't celebrating yet.
"I-I can't stop!" he yelled. More and more ki kept pouring out of his palms. Inside the beam, he could see Jin pulsating a golden color.
HAHAHAHA! laughed Jin. You're theory was wrong Goku! You've only made it easier for me! The way I absorb ki is by putting this versatile barrier around me which contorts my body. Then once you release your ki, it's mine for the taking! I'll run you dry!
"DAMN IT!" shouted Son Goku. He tried to close his fists, but he couldn't he was locked in place and still could not stop the Kamehameha from emitting all of his ki. I can't put up with this much longer! There's got to be something I can do! Wait I know! Maybe the same principal I used with Babidi's beast Yakon all those year's ago can work now! "HAAAAAAAAA!" Son Goku slowly began powering up.
Are you just trying to help me now? laughed Jin. You're only surrendering more and more of your power to me!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Son Goku then transformed into a Super Saiyan 3 and noticed that Jin began to pulsate faster and faster.
Where… is this power coming from? wondered Jin.
"It's working," muttered Son Goku. "If I can just give it a little more. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Son Goku then transformed into a Super Saiyan 4 and the Kamehameha he was releasing grew even larger. So large that he couldn't even see Jin inside it anymore.
I-I can't contain this! yelled Jin. It can't end… like this! BOOOOOOM Son Goku's Kamehameha finally stopped as the explosion of Jin rocked the entire area. Ki showered the ground like a rain storm and Son Goku quickly powered own to his normal state.
"That… drained more out of me than I thought," he said. "This isn't good…" Son Goku's eyes closed and fell from the sky onto the ground. He was out cold.
"It seems that Fusion has bailed us out again," said Rou Dai as he and the rest gazed through the crystal ball.
"Since when did Goshin learn Fusion!" exclaimed Vegeta Jr. "And here I am thinking that me and Goku were the only ones that could do that. And why is his hair orange?"
"He almost reminds me of me and Kakarot," said Vegeta. "I had never felt so much power in all my life than when we were fused as Super Saiyan 4s. We would've beat Omega Shenron too if it weren't for the Fusion time being reduced."
"Reduced?" asked Vegeta Jr.
"Yes," answered his ancestor. "With all that power we were only able to stay fused for only twenty minutes instead of a half-hour. The fusion just couldn't sustain the power."
"Well that isn't good!" yelled Vegeta Jr. "They don't know that! How long have they been fused already!"
"Don't worry," said Kabitokai. "it's only been aboutfive minutes. They have plenty of time. In fact, at this rate it'll be over in a matter of moments."
"I hope so," said Vegeta Jr. "I remember when we fused I felt pretty cocky, well more so than usual. I just hope it isn't the same for them."
Shinku had waited for a while and still nothing stirred from where Appolysis had landed. "If this is how he wants to play, fine. I'll finish him now." Shinku began charging up his ki and got ready to release his attack. "Super Dragon Wave!" The beam honed in on Appolysis and hit the spot where Shinku sensed the ki. A gigantic explosion erupted and Uubu again was forced to find cover from the showering debris.
Shinku smirked at what just happened, but it was quickly wiped of his face.
"Nice shot," said a voice from behind him. It was Appolysis.
"That's impossible!" shouted Shinku. "I know I just killed you! There's now ay I missed!"
"You really take me for a fool!" he countered. "I know how to adapt in a battle. I realize now that you can read my ki. That why I planted some of my own ki there, sort of in the form of a bomb. Once it was disturbed, it explodes like you've just seen. And I also figured out how to suppress my own ki, so that I could sneak up behind you like this! HA!" Appolysis let loose another ki blast, but Shinku quickly blocked it and sent it flying into a mountain behind him.
"You're a dead BASTARD!" he yelled. And with out warning he charged towards Appolysis and started beating him mercilessly. Appolysis had no chance of blocking anything.
HUCK Blood was flying everywhere as Shinku kept pressing his offense.
"What now you bastard!" he yelled. "You can never defeat me! I am the universe's strongest!"
In what seemed a surprise attack from Appolysis, Shinku has proved again that he still has the upper hand. How much longer will he continue his beating of Appolysis, or rather, how much longer can Appolysis hang on? Find out next time on DragonBall AF!
