Chapter 77
Last time on DragonBall AF, Goku, Goshin, and Vegeta learned the harsh truth of who was behind the attacks on humanity. With a ship crash landing into a metropolitan area, Goshin is sure of it: the Algarons have returned!
"The- the Algarons!" exclaimed Goku. "This is insane! I hoped against hope, but it's really them!"
"Show yourself," said Goshin sternly. "Come out of hiding from that ship, let us look at your disgusting face."
Don't let your temper get the best of you Goshin, said the alien brazenly. We would not want the people here to be hurt more than they already are, now would we?
"Grrrrr," Goshin growled under his breath.
"What's the point of all this!" yelled Goku. "Why have you done this to everyone? And why weren't we affected? What do you want!"
"Heh… heh… heh…" A raspy laugh came from the Algaron's mouth. He slowly stepped forward and into the light.
"What in the hell…?" gasped Vegeta. The Algaron stood there with a small smile on his tightly pursed lips. His skin was light brown, and very leathery looking. And of course, the calling card of all Algarons were his deep, vacuous red eyes.
"I can never forget the disgusting faces of your kind," said Goshin, disgusted. "You must be responsible for the hallucinations I've been having as well. What is your purpose!
So you wish to know our intentions, hm? replied the Algaron casually. The truth is, I have no idea what has been causing your "hallucinations", for it surely wasn't myself. But we have decided that now is the time to take this world, just as we planned to years ago, before our race was almost completely wipe out by this Saiyan trash!
"It suits you doesn't it!" quipped Goshin back. "I'm the fruit of all of your race's labor, I was to be your instrument! It's only fitting that I destroyed you in the end, although it seems that I didn't get all of you. How many of you still remain in existence after my spree?"
I do not see why I have to divulge that information to you, seethed the Algaron. Just know that there is more than you think, and that you were not the only "fruit" that we Algarons produced…
"Get to the point!" interrupted Vegeta. "What have you done to everyone?"
You see, I've been sent here by our overlords. I'm a scout ship I suppose, he answered. We had to make sure that you Saiyans were on Earth when we began our assault, especially Goshin. You would not imagine the hatred burning up inside us for you. The humans around you, dropping like flies and becoming like diseased lepers is a side effect of our new propulsion system. It was a bit deliberate as well as it is an unseen weapon. The radiation emitted from it cannot be tolerated by most species, but this does not include Saiyans. Your resistance to radiation is much stronger than most species, so even a little bit of Saiyan blood in you would make it relatively harmless.
"But why, after all this time," boiled Goshin, "would you decide to come back and take this planet? Is it merely for revenge on me, or is their some reason you need this planet so badly? I know the main reason back then was natural resources, but with your race decimated, I'm pretty sure that's not the case."
You are a perceptive one, replied the scout. There is a reason we've returned. It has taken a while to regroup ourselves. It was the crew that took your parents that orchestrated all of this. They would not let our once glorious race die! They ventured all over the quadrant, looking for the last remnants of ourselves. They couldn't let the ultimate weapon go to waste, not after so much time leading up to its completion.
"What are you talking about?" demanded Goshin. "Never did I remember anything being said of some "ultimate weapon" going under construction."
That may be because the beings that abducted you were not directly under the lordship's jurisdiction, continued the Algaron. The ones that abducted your parents, however were in direct contact with the lords of our planet. Under their direct orders they made this weapon, and it was to be used to take over this planet. If you had stayed under our control, I'm sure you too would've been part of the siege on this planet, but you rebelled against the ones that gave you your knowledge, your power, and killed them all!
Goshin's eyes grew wide and he let out a might scream. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He directly turned Super Saiyan 2 with sparks of electricity coursing around his body. The Algaron was taken a bit aback. "Do you dare try and justify what they did to me, you BASTARD! How could I be grateful at all for what they had done to me! YOU…!" Goshin paused and looked at the ground. "You've just made the biggest mistake of your life coming here."
Goshin instantly disappeared before anyone could know what happened. Then, he reappeared in front of the Algaron. "Ah!" He squeaked out.
"Tell this to your superiors." SPLURT Goshin drove his arm into the Algaron's stomach, and quickly retracted it, leaving behind a gaping hole dripping with blood.
HACK The Algaron began choking on his own blood and he fell backwards back onto the bridge leading to the ship. "If you sons of bitches want a fight," bellowed Goshin, "then we're damn ready for one! You hear me! Die knowing that your mission was a lost cause from the very beginning!"
"Heh… heh-heh…" the Algaron began chuckling in shallow breaths. Our weapon will destroy you. It knows you tell well… it's a PART of you and your brother! There is no way you'll be able to win. I'll die knowing, that your death will be 10 times more despicable and worthless than mine was! "Heh-heh… heh… heh-heh."
Goshin's brow furrowed in sheer rage and he lifted his fist high into the air. "DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!" CRUNCH Goshin slammed his fist into the Algaron's face, smashing his skull and killing him immediately.
Baba had gone back up to the hospital to check up on her brother. Unfortunately, Roshi's condition had not changed much.
"Baba," he said quietly. "Tell me, what can you see in the future on your crystal ball?"
"You know that I haven't used it in a very long time," she replied. "It usually is changed anyways due to Goku and Vegeta and their ancestors always helping."
"I see," he said solemnly. He turned his head and looked outside the window. The curtains were billowing in the wind as the sun shined through onto his bed. "There's not much time left for me. I just wanted to know, how this last battle might turn out."
"Roshi, what are you talking about?" asked Baba. "Don't you go senile on me now!"
"Couldn't you sense it?" he continued. "It was Goshin, I'm sure of it. Whatever was haunting his dreams, is facing him now."
"Oh please Roshi," whispered Baba, "just take it easy."
The police force and ambulances finally arrived on the scene. The infected people were taken away and carted off. Soon, men in radioactive gear came and started inspecting the Algaron's ship. The Algaron's carcass was but into a body bag and whisked away for an autopsy. Goku, Vegeta, and Goshin stood off to the side after they had answered some questions about what had happened from the police.
"What do we do now?" said Goku aloud. "I mean, how many more are coming? When are they coming?"
"I don't know," sternly replied Goshin.
"You've had a lot of… contact with them," said Goku. "Are they strong, are they really going to be a threat?"
"To me, not at all," answered Goshin. "The Algarons aren't well known for their strength, more so their weaponry and technical advancement. They use things like mind control on their enemies, but I wouldn't be affected by it. You two might be at a disadvantage, but strength wise, you have them beat."
"Then what the hell is that weapon he was talking about?" asked Vegeta.
"Again, I don't know," repeated Goshin. "It could be anything really. Maybe this thing really is capable of putting up a challenge. But of course, I can't read the Algarons' minds so I have no idea what it can be. It could be anything from a high powered laser to a beefed up Algaron."
"We need to prepare," said Goku. "If this is going to be a full invasion, we need to be ready and get all the help that we can get. Maybe Dende has sensed something and he can help."
"What about Uubu?" put in Vegeta. "I'm sure we can definitely use him."
"Good points," said Goshin. "We do need to prepare. The Algarons are back, and we have to make sure they don't stay around."
The invasion of planet Earth has begun. What will our heroes do during this dire time! Will they succeed and protecting the Earth? And just what could this "ultimate weapon" be? Don't miss the next installment of DragonBall AF!
