Last time on DragonBall AF, Goku started his fight against General Orange. He had the power to shape-shift, and hide his ki. He had already almost killed Vegeta, and now was after Goku. After a long, brutal game to stay alive, Goku defeated Orange with a Kamehameha wave. But now with Goku exhausted, and Vegeta still not in top condition, how will our young heroes survive?
“Goku...Goku!” yelled Vegeta. “Come on buddy, I’ll get ya some help, just don’t die on me now!” Vegeta, although the bleeding had stopped, was still suffering from his shoulder wound. The affects of the poison were wearing off, but he still felt a little dizzy. “All right, Goku, we’re goin for help.” Vegeta lifted Goku unto his good shoulder and tried to fly.
“Whoa!” Vegeta was still wobbly and he couldn’t concentrate enough on his flying. “Well, I guess it’s walking for a little while. Hey, I wonder what that is?” Far in the distance was a giant tower that went through the sky and beyond, so far that Vegeta couldn’t see the top. “Maybe I can find some help there.” And with that, he started in the direction of the tower.

*BEEP* “Commander Red, General Bronze is ready to come in your office,” announced the secretary.
“Thank you. Send him in at once.” The door opened and in walked General Bronze. He was of average height, very muscular and tan. He had at one time been the World Wrestling champion, a main reason he was recruited by Red for the Red Ribbon Army.
“Sir, I have obtained the 1 star ball, we reported no casualties,” stated Bronze.
“Excellent!” remarked Red. “Great job, Bronze. That’s all the help we’ll need with finding DragonBalls now. We’ll have to begin preparing the army for when those menacing boys come. I’m going to award you with temporary second in command since #10 will be facing these boys first.”
“Sir,” said Bronze, “there’s no need to prepare the entire army if we have #10 handling them. He’ll easily kill these two children.”
“Don’t be so sure,” answered Red grimly. “They’ve already taken out 4 of our top generals, well, 3 really. But that’s beside the point. The point is, that we can’t underestimate them. I believe that #10 can exterminate them, but if he fails, we’ll be ready.” All Bronze could do was stare in horror and disbelief.
“Sir,” Bronze gulped, “who...who did these bastards kill?”
“I don’t see why I should tell you,” answered Red, “but I guess I can do you one favor since you got me the DragonBall. Generals Blue, Yellow, Orange, and Gold have all been terminated.”
“What?!” shouted Bronze. “Gold is dead?! He...he was my closest friend here. Why? How? How can two boys do this?!”
“Keep your tone down,” retorted Red, “these boys aren’t ordinary. They possess the power to use their ki to a much greater degree than most our generals.”
“I’ll kill them!” exclaimed Bronze. “I’ll kill them with my brute strength and keen eye!”
“You will not!” bellowed Red. “You don’t have the power to wield your own ki. I recruited you for other reasons. There is no way you’ll be taking them on. You will follow the orders I have given you. You’re dismissed.”
“Humph,” grunted Bronze. “Yes, sir.” And Bronze left the room giving Red a mock salute. Screw the Commander! thought Bronze to himself. As soon as I get some more ammo, I’ll be paying these kids a visit, orders or not!

Vegeta was now nearing the giant tower. As he got closer, he could see a small village at the foot of the tower. He was very tired, and he hoped these people would help him. “Oh man, I can’t take it anymore. Can I even reach that village? It’s only a few feet away and yet it seems...so...far.” Vegeta then passed out and fell to the ground right in front of the small Indian village. A small Indian boy saw the Saiyans lying on the ground.
“Papa! Papa! Come quick!” he yelled.
****
“Oooooh,” groaned Goku. “My aching head. Where am I?”
“You are with friends,” answered a voice, “Son Goku.”
“What?” Goku answered. He sat up in the bed he was in and around him were three Indian men and next to him was Vegeta, still knocked out. “Did you call me Son Goku?”
“Yes,” answered the Indian. “My name is Juno. You look just as my people have described in the stories, eternally youthful.”
“Juno,” answered Goku, “you must be talking of my ancestor. He was my great-great grandfather. My name is Goku Jr.”
“Oh!” exclaimed Juno. “I apologize for my mistake. But any relative of Son Goku’s is an honored guest.”
“Thank you!” smiled Goku. “But why am I here?”
“Your friend beside you was found outside our village. He had obviously been carrying you. Did something happen to you boys?”
“Well,” said Goku, “we did get into a little trouble with some guy, but I guess I’m fine now. How is my friend doing?”
“I’m sorry to say Goku Jr.,” answered Juno, “that you’re friend has had major blood loss. Myself and the other two medics have tried to help him, but we’re afraid he may have exhausted himself further from assisting you. Unfortunately, there is not a hospital in this area for many miles.”
“What?” replied Goku. “Isn’t- isn’t there someway to help him?”
“Well,” answered Juno, “considering you are the descendent of Son Goku, there may be something you can do.”
“Anything!” said Goku. “Vegeta is my best friend, and if he helped me out, then I’ll help him out!”
“Very well,” remarked Juno. “Why don’t you come outside then.” Soon, Goku and Juno were outside and were standing at the foot of the tower. “This is Korin’s Tower,” declared Juno. At the top is a very old martial arts master. He possess many things, but the one you’re looking for, is the Senzu bean. One bean will instantly heal you of all wounds and fill your stomach for up to a week. The way to do this is...”
“Great!” exclaimed Goku. “Thanks for your help, I’ll be back soon!” Goku then jumped into the air and started flying up towards the tower.
“No!” yelled Juno. “Wait Goku Jr! The only way to properly do this is climb the tower! Oh, it’s no use, he can’t hear me now. Hopefully Lord Korin will realize who this boy is.”
Goku was already half way up the tower and was growing anxious. “Wow! This is a huge tower! I wonder if my great ancestor once climbed this. It seems like all those people down there recognized him. He must’ve been a great guy, to bad I couldn’t meet him.” About 2 minutes later, Goku had finally reached the top of Korin’s Tower.
“Hm,” he pondered, “I guess I should go up these stairs.” Goku touched down and began climbing the stairs. When he reached the top, he saw an old man. He was fat and had long gray hair. He was very short and wore an orange vest. “Ahem,” coughed Goku.
“Uhhhhhh,” grunted the old man, “Korin’s not here right now, and I’m eating my breaktis right now so you’re gonna have to- WHAT?! GOKU?!”
“Wait, hold on!” remarked Goku.
“I can’t believe it’s you Goku! It’s your old buddy Yajirobe! You recognize me right?!”
“Um, sorry Mr. Yajirobe, but I’m not Goku. I’m Goku Jr., his great-great grandson.”
“Really?!” answered Yajirobe, downtrodden. “Oh, I was hoping that he had come back.”
“Hey,” said Goku, “I thought all the people my dad knew were pretty much dead!”
“Hey kid,” retorted Yajirobe, “I may be old but I ain’t dead! When you’ve been living on Senzu beans the past 100 years, your life span begins to grow!”
“Wait,” replied Goku, “did you say Senzu beans? That’s why I came here, my friend, Vegeta Jr. is very hurt and he needs help!”
“WAH? Vegeta Jr?! Oh man, I didn’t know Vegeta’s family was still around! You’d better watch your back kid, because...”
“Enough, Yajirobe,” answered someone nearby. Up the stairs there was a small white cat making his way, with a pot in his hand.
“Korin, you’re back!” exclaimed Yajirobe. “Um, and in case you’re wondering, I didn’t break your favorite ceramic jar, that was the wind.”
“Oh would you be quiet already!” quipped Korin. “We have a special guest here. Goku Jr., I am Master Korin. It is a pleasure to meet you.”
“No sir,” answered Goku as he shook his paw, “the pleasure is all mine! I was wondering if you could assist me with something.”
“Of course!” answered Korin. “You’re in need of Senzu beans for your friend, correct? Because I just got a new shipment in today!” Korin then took off the top of the pot he was carrying and inside were a whole slew of Senzu beans.
“Whoa!” marveled Goku, “look at them all! This should be very helpful!”
“Finally,” muttered Yajirobe, “I get to eat some dinner.”
It seems Goku has been introduced to some old friends, who are more than happy to assist him. Now with what is needed to aid Vegeta, our heroes can soon begin their trek for the DragonBalls again. But with yet another General looming in the darkness waiting for a perfect chance to exact revenge on the two boys, will they be able to defeat him once he comes? Find out in the next installment of DragonBall AF!
