Chapter 82

Last time on DragonBall AF, the Algarons grew ever closer to the Earth where are heroes prepare in anticipation. Dende has alerted them that something is on the way. The battle for the Earth begins today!

The four warriors soared through the air as Korin's Tower became visible in the distance. As they came closer to the top of the tower, they saw Yajirobe waving at them.

"Hey!" he yelled. "Take these last two Senzu beans! You might need them!" Yajirobe whipped them into the sky and they were both caught by Goshin.

"Tell Korin thanks for us," said Uubu. And in a matter of seconds, they landed on top of Kami's Lookout, both Dende and Mr. Popo waiting there for them.

"Good, you've finally made it," said Dende, breathing a slight sigh of relief. "Well, the moment we've dreaded is here. I can sense something coming close to Earth's orbit, and I'm sure that it's the Algarons. And there is something in the group that feels exceptionally… formidable."

"It's gotta be this so called weapon they've been talking about," replied Vegeta.

"Do you have any idea where they might be landing?" asked Goshin. "That way we will know where they're coming from and we can intercept them before they do damage."

"I'm not totally sure yet," said Dende. "But as they come closer, I'll have a fairly good idea. Another 10 minuets and I should be able to pinpoint them."

Just then, Goshin lost his balance. "Whoa, Goshin!" exclaimed Goku. "You all right there." Goshin started massaging his forehead with the tips of his fingers as a grimace grew across his face.

"Not now!" he shouted through clenched teeth. Goshin saw himself, with amazing clearness, lying on the table once again, Algarons looking over him. LET ME GO! A pointed instrument was picked up by one of the Algarons, and it slowly started to make its way for Goshin's stomach. NO… NO! STOP! Goshin looked into the left corner again, and there was the same figure he had seen in his last experience. The figure didn't move at all, but then without warning, its head shot up. Its piercing red eyes locked onto Goshin, and his mouth curled into a sinister, laughing sneer.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Goshin screamed bloody murder, fainting quickly thereafter.

Goku quickly caught him before he fell onto the ground, but he was unconscious. "Goshin! WAKE UP!"

The Algaron ship began nearing closer and closer to the Earth's orbit. The captain was standing out by one of the windows, a slight grin coming over his face as Earth moved closer. Lieutenant, he barked. Deploy the 10 scouter ships. Two pilots to each ship.

What is our battle plan, sir? asked the lieutenant.

The scouter ships will go ahead of us and make sure our coordinates are safe for landing. Once we land the scouters will go out and begin acquiring hydrogen we need. Kill anything that poses a threat, moves, whatever. If something gives us enough trouble, we have five of our strongest genetically enhanced warriors to throw at them…

Understood sir, he replied. We'll get underway right now.

Back at the Lookout, everyone was gathered around Goshin, as he just began to come to. He opened his eyes slowly and pushed Goku back so that he could stand up.

"Are you all right now Goshin?" asked Goku.

"I really don't know anymore," answered Goshin, shaking his head. "it seemed just so real. And that person, whatever it was. I could see its face clearly. It was hideous."

"Did you recognize it at all?" asked Uubu. "Somebody who tormented you from the past?"

"No, I still don't know who it is!" Goshin's tone became a bit louder. "I wish I could just understand what is happening! SIGH But I won't lose my focus. I know what we need to do."

"I can feel the Algarons much better now," announced Dende. "They are in Earth's orbit and coming through the atmosphere as we speak. Near… the Southern Capital! Seems to be about, maybe 45 or 50 miles away from the actual city, hopefully there won't be too many people in the area."

"I'd use Instantaneous Movement to get there," put in Uubu, "but we need the element of surprise and can't show up right on top of them. They can't sense our ki, right Goshin?"

"Not to my knowledge."

"Well then, we'll race there as quickly as we possibly can to intercept them," replied Uubu.

Dende walked up to Uubu. "You all are taking a great risk in doing this, and I thank you. I sincerely hope that you will be able to overcome them, but I know for a fact it will not be easy. Stay on guard and don't get tired down. Your ancestors have saved us many times before, and you've all been heroes of late as well. Once again, the Earth will be in your debt."

"Those bastards don't even know what's coming," laughed Vegeta. "I'm ready to kick some alien behind." Vegeta leapt into the air and waited for the other s to do the same.

"Let's go!" shouted Uubu, and with four blasts of power, the young Saiyans and Uubu went off to the Southern Capital to do their business.

Goshin pulled far ahead of the rest of the group, visibly anxious to arrive. Soon, the continent came into view over the horizon.

"Slow down Goshin!" yelled Uubu. Goshin turned around and proceeded in slowing his speed. "There," pointed Uubu. Goshin and the others looked up, and just barely visible were 11 black dots, one larger than the rest.

"The invasion force no doubt," stated Goku.

"Let's hurry up and get down there as fast as possible," said Uubu. "There's some hilly ground right before that small town, we should stay there for as long as possible and just hope that the Algarons don't land near those people." With that, they started speeding back down towards the Earth and went behind one of the small mountains, and were able to peek just above the top of it to see where the ships were headed.

"Soooooooo, we're just going to wait here now?" asked Vegeta. "Maybe we should just ambush them before they even land. That'd be easier wouldn't it?"

"Well we have no idea of knowing what they will be able to do," replied Uubu. "If they land here and get out of the ships, then we'd have an easier chance of doing damage to them directly." The ships came steadily closer and closer. From their vantage point, it seemed that the ten smaller ships were coming down faster than the larger one, possibly because the mother ship ahs stopped in mid-air.

"What are they up to?" wondered Goshin aloud. The ships were rocketing down at top speed through the atmosphere. A couple of the ships had tails of fire streaming behind them due to the excessive velocity at which they were going.

"They really don't seem to be stopping," quipped Vegeta. "Is this a bad thing?" The first two ships whizzed by overhead, with almost no sound at all. The other eight ships we coming closer as well.

Goku jumped up and floated in the air as he looked towards the first two ships. "Damn it!" he yelled. "They are heading for the town!"

"Those dirty bastards!" yelled Goshin. He leapt from behind the hill and started flying towards the remainder of the fleet.

"Goshin don't!" pleaded Uubu in vain. Vegeta followed Goshin's lead while Goku stayed put with Uubu.

"HAAAAAAAAAAA!" Goshin stretched out his right hand and emitted an enormous beam of ki, connecting with one of the impending ships. It caught fire and soon exploded, spewing debris over the countryside.

"Nice shot!" exclaimed Vegeta. Two more ships came barreling through the smoke heading straight for Goshin and Vegeta, proceeding in opening fire. Twin, blue lasers came shooting out of two barrels on top of each ship, but were dodged by the two Saiyans.

"You take one out and I'll get the other!" yelled Goshin. He split off from Vegeta with one ship tailing him. Vegeta stood his ground as the other ship neared him, dodging each and every shot that it took.

"Heh-heh, you don't want any of this," he grinned. He put his hands together and shot back his own ki blast. "HAAAAAAAA!" The ship tried to move out of the way, but it was no use and exploded on contact. Three more ships raced by Vegeta who proceeded to give chase.

KABOOM BOOM Two clouds of dust emerged behind the warriors, causing Uubu and Goku to turn around. "They're firing on those innocent people!" shouted and enraged Goku. He noticed the three ships coming his way and Vegeta right behind them. "You're not going to join your friends! KAMEHAMEHA!" VNNNNNNN The bright blue wave sliced through the air, and just caught the wing of the first ship. It went into a tail spin, narrowly missing the other two ships behind it, and met its demise by crashing into the ground below in flames.

"YAHHHHHHHHHH!" Another of the ships was taken out, this time by Goshin, but the rest of the ships sped past Goshin, and then Vegeta, closing in on the town.

"Uubu!" yelled Goku. "We have to get over there now!"

Earth has been raided by the Algarons. Our heroes are trying desperately to take out the first fleet of scout ships, but will it be enough? Will they be able to reach the town in time before all the inhabitants are killed by the malicious Algarons? You won't want to miss the next exciting installment of DragonBall AF!
