Last time on DragonBall AF, Commander Red was pondering his next move to find the DragonBalls and sought the help of the shadowed figure that was inside his office, the same person that Gogeta Jr. had planned to fight. After consulting him, Red decided to deploy General Orange, although his fighting skills are limited. Meanwhile, the two young Saiyans discovered the 7-star ball, but not before Orange ambushed Vegeta and knocked him out. Orange’s technique is espionage and the ability to transform himself into almost anything! How will Goku stand up to this foe... without even sensing his ki?!?!
“Goku!!! Above you!!” Vegeta attempted to warn Goku of Orange who was coming from directly above him.
“What?!” replied Goku and saw a giant falcon coming from the sky.
“Too late!” laughed Orange. Goku tried to dodge out of the way but at the last second, Orange’s talons gripped into Goku’s left arm.
“AHHHHH!!” Goku then threw a ki blast with his good arm right into Orange’s stomach causing the giant falcon to release him. Goku landed on the ground and was holding his arm tight so as to stop the blood gushing out. Vegeta attempted to get up but he was still feeling very weak.
“Goku, are you...all right?”
“I think so,” Goku answered. Orange was now flying around in the sky, waiting for Goku to make the next move. “You stupid freak! I’ll still beat you! AHHHHHH!!!” Goku then transformed into a Super Saiyan and soared up to where Orange was.
“What speed!” and right after he said that, Goku slammed him in the face and then kicked him to the ground. Orange then changed back to his human form. “Well, well, that was impressive,” he remarked. “But I still hold the advantage. I can change into many more things, things beyond your wildest dreams. I’ll take you down before these 15 minutes are up.”
15 minutes? thought Goku. This guy seems to be pretty full of himself. If I can get him to talk some more, it’ll kill some time and let my wound stop bleeding.“Let me ask you something before we continue,” stated Goku. “How does an ordinary human like you even have these powers, to change into anything at will?”
“Hm, I was hoping you’d ask that!” replied Orange. “You see I’m not 100% human. My mother was human, but my father was a Shalkian. You may have seen these people before, they’ve been on earth for the past 35 to 40 years. They look very much like humans except their eyes are slanted downwards and their skin is a much paler white. But the thing about the Shalkian blood inside me is that our DNA is very, let’s say easy to manipulate. Geneticists on the home world modeled their people into a super race through genetic manipulation.
“But anyways, when I was a teen, I became lost in a strange town. No humans lived there, just the strange animals you see every now and then, bears, pigs, cats, and so on. Well, while I was there, I came across a shape-shifting school. Animals were the only things capable of this, up until I enrolled. With my genes already susceptible to altering, the class was a breeze and I was the best in the class and could stay transformed for the longest period of time. I’ve now put this art together with my espionage capabilities and have become almost untouchable!”
“Yea,” answered Goku, “almost. I know I can defeat you. Let’s finish this, cause I know you don’t got much time left.” Goku grinned and waited for his opponents move.
“Hahaha!” laughed Orange. “Try me. Now for my next transformation!” Orange started to run and was circling Goku at high speeds. His skin began to change into a type of fur and dark spots began to appear. His ears receded into his head and new ones grew at the top. Soon, he had changed into a cheetah, and was still running around Goku. “I’ll keep circling you, and strike when you least expect it!”
“Stay calm, Goku!” encouraged Vegeta from afar.
“Focus, focus,” concentrated Goku. Suddenly, the circling stopped and Orange lunged at Goku. He came too quickly, and with Goku not able to feel his ki, Orange easily knocked Goku to the ground and started to claw at his face.
“Get off me!” yelled Goku, and with a sudden burst of energy he blew Orange off of him and he stood up with his aura bigger than ever before. “I don’t believe I’m losing to you!” he bellowed. “All you do is run away and use cheap tricks to defeat your opponents. But what you lack is the most important thing, strength!”
“Must I tell you again?” sighed Orange. “This is my style of combat. I excel at it. And if it’s enough to defeat you, then maybe you’re too weak after all, just like your poor friend!”
“Leave him out of this!” shouted Goku.
“No, don’t worry,” replied Orange. “I can finish him off whenever. You are the one I must focus on now. As a matter of fact, I have the perfect way to focus on you.” Orange began to change back into his human form.
He’s unguarded now! thought Goku. He went to take out Orange but before he could reach him, Orange quickly molded his hand into a large gun with a scouter on the top.
“Freeze,” Orange said calmly. “I’ve locked on to you now, Goku. All I have to do is will this bullet to fire, and it will blow your skull to pieces.”
“Dang you,” grunted Goku. “You’re a... you’re a prick! You aren’t a man, or whatever you call yourself!”
Orange’s face then turned into a menacing glare. “Don’t ever call me a prick again you little sonofafemale dog!” Orange then took the gun that was his arm and pistol whipped Goku across the face. “You have ten seconds, and then I am going to fire. This bullet is heat-sensitive and will keep following you until it connects. I know you’re strong, but you won’t be able to survive a bullet that I myself have made. 1...”
“d*mn!” muttered Goku. “I can’t see!” Goku was hit across his entire face and it had swelled and he couldn’t see past the blood and sweat mixing in his eyes.
“2...3...4,” continued Orange. Goku got up but still was unable to see.
Why? Why is this happening? I’m a Super Saiyan for Christ’s sake! Human-alien hybrids must have a knack for being fast or something. If I don’t kill him now, I’m finished!
“NINE... TEN!!!!” Orange finished counting and released the bullet. Goku heard the gunshot and immediately got up and started flying blindly.
I’m not that good at fighting blind! Goku thought. I haven’t perfected my ki ability for this yet! Wait a minute! I can sense something following me! Is that the bullet?! It must be! If it’s coming from INSIDE him, it must have his life-force, and that’s what I’m sensing! Goku kept on flying trying to escape the bullet, then he brought his hands together and prepared for a final move. “Ka....me...ha....me...” Goku then quickly turned to face the bullet and released the wave. “HAAAAAA!!!!” The Kamehameha blast ripped through the bullet and now was homing in onto Orange.
“What is that thing?!” he wondered aloud. He quickly transformed into the falcon again and tried to out fly the blast. “d*mn YOU, KID!” he bellowed. After about 30 seconds of trying to outrun the blast, he felt his wings grow shorter, and the feathers began to disappear.
“No, no! NOT KNOW!” he screamed. His 20 minutes had run out and he was now as helpless as a baby. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught Vegeta.
“Your done now! Your luck’s run out!” And before Orange could retort back, the Kamehameha engulfed him and he was finally defeated.
Goku, exhausted of all his energy, lost his Super Saiyan ability and dropped to the ground. Vegeta was now feeling a bit better and ran to aid Goku. “Goku! Goku! Speak to me!” Goku was out cold, but he had a small smirk on his face because he knew that he defeated his opponent. “I’ll get ya some help, Goku! Just don’t die on me!” said Vegeta.
****
An hour later, Red received news of what had happened. “What a surprise,” he answered. “Well sir,” said the general in his office, “maybe we should let them collect the rest of the balls before anything else bad happens.”
“Ya know #10, I like the way you think,” answered Red. “We’ll do just that. We’ll get that last ball that General Bronze is on the trail of and then we’ll wait for those kids to come here to get them. And you, will be the one greeting them!”
“Great!” answered #10. “I finally get my chance to pummel someone!”
Goku has triumphed in defeating General Orange, but now has injuries of his own. How will Vegeta be able to help Goku, since he has his own wounds to think of. And will Commander Red’s plan work to fool the boy’s into the trap he’s setting. Find out, next time, on DragonBall AF!
