Chapter 81

Last time on DragonBall AF, the boys finally found Uubu in a secluded mountain range. Our heroes came back home to the sad news of Master Roshi's passing. Unfortunately there is not much time to mourn with the Algarons on their way. Will our heroes be ready in time for when the Algarons arrive?

Uubu and the three Saiyans made their way through the Capsule Corp complex as they walked to the gravity room to train. "Grandma looked so broken up," commented Goku solemnly. "Just seeing the look on her face made me feel so bad. I hate seeing her like that."

Goshin didn't say a word. Uubu decided to answer back to Goku. "I know Goku, I hate seeing her broken up like that too. But that's why we're going to train, so we can protect everyone from feeling any hurt."

"Here we are," said Vegeta. "I'm pretty sure we can all fit in here, there's enough room it seems. I don't know what levels the rest of you guys can handle though, so we might have to go separate after all."

"I can take about 500G or so," said Goshin. "Of course I could go more if I transformed past Super Saiyan, but I strongly disadvise that since we'd probably destroy the entire facility."

"Yea," laughed Vegeta nervously. "Then my mom would probably go crazy on you."

"I can go over 500G," said Uubu, "so I think I'll let you three go in first. I wouldn't want your bodies being crushed under such weight."

"Well then let's get crackin' guys," said Vegeta. And with that, Vegeta opened the door and he, Goshin and Goku walked inside."

In the depths of space, the Algaron invasion force crept closer and closer to the Earth. Five Algarons sat in a dimly lit room as they were discussing their plans.

What do you suppose we do now? growled one of them. If the weapon is not brought out of stasis once we land we will be at a heavy disadvantage.

I greatly apologize sir, replied the Algaron seated to his left, but we have to be sure that it is ready. If we do not have it fully under our control it could completely backfire.

Even though you told me before that everything was under control… The captain glared menacingly into the scientist's eyes, causing him to turn his gaze away.

Sir, if you could just be patient. We do not want a fiasco when we land on Earth.

You'd better have a back-up plan then, because as soon as we land the invasion will begin! What do you expect me to send out there if the weapon is not ready yet!

You don't have to even worry about that, commented a different, shorter Algaron. We have three of our own experiments to help lead the invasion force. They should be able to buy us time until the weapon is ready and should give Goshin and the other Saiyans there a hard time. We're counting on that.

A grimace came over the captain's face as he looked across the table. He rose up from his seat and walked slowly across the room. He finally stopped at the window and began to speak while still peering out into the depths of space. Holus, I want the weapon to be ready to used at my disposal exactly 24 hours after we land. You already know how important this is to us. There IS no invasion without it, no matter how strong you and your partner might say your own experiments are. If you disappoint me again, you will have to suffer the most dire of consequences…

We… we understand sir, replied Holus.

Then you can all be dismissed, muttered the captain. The sliding door closed behind the other four Algarons leaving the captain to himself, still positioned at the window, deep in thought. We must succeed, we must!

Four days had passed. It was mid-morning back on Earth as Uubu walked out of the gravity room and into the common area of Capsule Corp. Vegeta, Rupan, and Bra were all there eating breakfast. "How'd it go?" asked Vegeta with a piece of toast in between his teeth.

The sweat was beading off of Uubu's body and he was taking deep breaths, but he still had a smile on his face. "I'd say it went pretty good," replied Uubu, "I broke my own record of 750G."

"750!" gasped Vegeta. COUGH COUGH

"Chew your food!" scolded Bra.

"Haha, I think I'm going to hit the showers though," said Uubu, "the we'll head over to the Son's house. Today's the day Vegeta, I hope you're ready."

"Tch, of course I'm ready," answered Vegeta, "aren't I always?"

Back at East District 439, Goku and Goshin were already prepared for whatever the invasion force could bring. "Uubu and Vegeta should be here any minute," said Goshin as he tied his boots.

"Where are we going to wait though?" asked Goku. "We never actually discussed anything past meeting up here. It's not like we can actually sense spaceships, right?"

"We'll know when they come Goku," replied Goshin. "We just have to wait it out as bad as that sounds." Then, the boys heard footsteps walking in from the kitchen. A puzzled look came over both Goku and Goshin's faces. "Mother?"

Gonell beamed back at them, dressed in full battle garb. "I've decided that I'm going to fight alongside you! It's been too long since I've made a difference." She was wearing an orange gi, almost identical to Son Goku's except that it had no symbol on the front or back.

"Uh mom," said Goku, "are you sure you want to go through with that?"

"Of course what's the harm?" she said. "I might've not been training in the gravity room with you boys, but I've been doing my own regimen and I think I have something to offer."

Goshin was just about to say something when he felt a sharp pain in his head. INot again/I he thought. In his mind, he saw past events of himself on the Algaron ship reliving itself in horrifying clarity. He fell to his knees and put his hand to his head and started shaking.

"Oh my God, Goshin!" exclaimed Gonell. She and Goku rushed to his side but there was nothing they could do.

Goshin saw himself lying on a metallic table, with three Algarons standing over him, but he couldn't move. HELP! HELP! Somebody help me! He turned, looking all over the brightly lit room for a sign of escape. Then, in the corner of the room, he saw a dark figure. It's arms were crossed and it was leaning up against the wall. I… I don't remember that… thought Goshin. Who are you! he yelled out to it. The figure moved a step closer into the light showing his light blue skin. Then, its eyes opened and glowed a deep red color.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!" Goshin finally snapped out of his hallucination and began gasping for breath as he jerked up into a seated position.

"Hey! HEY!" yelled Goku. "Goshin, did you have another hallucination?"

"I-I think so," stuttered Goshin, "but, I'm not sure."

"What do you mean by that?" asked Gonell. "Are you all right now? Are you hurt?"

"No, it's just that my hallucinations have been something from my past," replied Goshin. "This time though it was different. There was something there that I don't remember."

"Goshin I have no idea what you're talking about," said Goku. Goshin stood up and shook his head.

"There was somebody there, but I don't know who it was. But his eyes, he had the same eyes as the Algarons…" Just then, Vegeta and Uubu walked through the door.

"Sorry we running a little late," said Vegeta, "Uubu here needed to be clean for the big fight today. Hey you guys look like you just seen a ghost or something."

"No everything's fine," said Goshin. "We've been ready to go for the past few hours."

IHEY! Can everybody here me? Dende's voice pierced through the air.

"Yea, yea we can hear you fine," answered back Uubu.

I need all of you to come to the Lookout at once! I can feel something coming rapidly towards here, and I'm pretty sure we all know what it is.

"We'll be right there," replied Uubu. "Everyone, grab on to me." Pan walked in from the living room.

"Guys, make sure you put up a good fight," she implored. "We won't let our planet get invaded by a bunch of ugly looking freaks. Make sure you sock it to them."

"You got my word grandma," said Goku, giving her the thumbs-up. And with that Uubu and the four Saiyans disappeared into thin air.

After four days of long training the hour has finally arrived! Dende has sensed the Algarons attack force coming straight for Earth! But just what were the hallucinations that Goshin was having prior to leaving? What significance is the person that he saw?
