Last time on DragonBall AF, Goku and Papaya Man’s semifinal match began. The winner moves on to the championship fight, but who could it be that has stood up?! Find out today!
“I… I Can’t believe it!” stuttered the announcer. “He actually stood up!”
“Oh my!” exclaimed Pan.
“Papaya Man… has won again! Goku Jr. is disqualified!”
“YEAAAA!” The crowd screamed with joy as their champion won once again. Goku slowly reached his feet, and found Papaya Man looking down on him.
“That was a great match, Goku,” he said. “I’m sure you’ll get stronger yet in the future.”
Goku stared into his eyes. “Who… are you?”
“Like I’ve said, I can’t tell you now. If you excuse me, I have to prepare for the championship bout now.” And with that, he walked back into the waiting area, letting Goku contemplate his defeat.
Soon enough Goku too walked back and was greeted by the solemn faces of his fellow fighters.
“Goku,” said Gonell, “it’s all right, you tried your best.”
“Sometimes other fighters just get the getter of you son,” added Zonza.
“Thanks,” said Goku. Then he turned towards Goshin. “Goshin, you have to win this. I know you can! This guy’s strong, but you can still beat him! Right?”
Goshin just stared at his brother for a moment. “I really hope so Goku,” he answered. “But I think we both know we can’t reach our full powers with all these spectators here.”
“What?” exclaimed Goku. “You mean he was holding back that much power?! If that was him holding back, than what can he do when nobody’s around? What is he?!”
“I don’t know,” replied Goshin, “But I may have to do just that and fight him without any bystanders. How though, is the question. But in the meantime, I have to worry about one more opponent before I fight Papaya Man. I’m afraid this match will also have to end quickly as my last match did.” And with that, he walked towards the ring.
“Don’t let that saiya-jerk catch you off guard!” yelled Zonza behind him. “He’s a tricky one!” Goshin gave a wave without turning around as he walked up the steps. Saiyaman was already up there, trying his best to stop his trembling.
“All right everybody!” boomed the announcer, “the second match of the semifinals starts now! It’s the Great Saiyaman III vs. Goshin, and the winner will face the reigning champ in the finals. So fighters, take your battle poses!”
Goshin did so, but Saiyaman was almost too scared to move at all. “P=please don’t let me get hurt!” he mumbled. d*mn it, he thought, I should’ve quit when I had the chance, but I’ll look like a real loser if I forfeit now!
“FIGHT!”
*BOOOM*
Saiyaman put on his best tough guy act and started to charge at Goshin. Just as he was about to grab him, Goshin vanished, leaving an after image behind. “Haha, got you!” laughed Saiyaman, but he soon realized he had grabbed thin air, and he couldn’t stop himself.
“Spectacular!” yelled the announcer, “Goshin has created the famous after image technique! But Saiyaman isn’t stopping! It looks like-”
“Ahhh! Ufff!” With all his momentum going, Saiyaman couldn’t stop himself and he fell out of the ring with a loud thud.
“Out of the ring!” called the announcer, “Goshin has won the match without a punch being thrown and will move on to the finals!”
The crowd went wild, some of them even chanting Goshin’s name. Saiyaman got up glumly, walked back to the waiting area and through the exit, without even giving a glance to anyone.
“All right everybody,” said the announcer, “the championship match will begin after a short ten-minute break!”
“No really,” said Goshin, “I don’t need a rest, I have hardly broken a sweat.”
“It’s just formality, son,” he said aside to Goshin. “Just take a quick breather and grab a water, we’ll be ready before you know it.”
“Hm, all right then,” replied Goshin and he went back into the waiting area.
“Nice moves, Goshin,” said Goku. “I only hope you can do the same with Papaya Man. Where’d he go anyways?”
“Probably went somewhere to think,” answered Goshin. “I think I’ll take the announcer’s advice and do the same.” With that he walked into one of the lounge areas to think of what he was going to do in the final fight.
“Ohh,” groaned Pan, “I hope Goshin can stand up against this mystery person. You’re still not positive who it could be Master Roshi?”
“No,” he replied, “but like I said, it feels very familiar. But I just can’t pinpoint it.”
“Well, don’t worry, Pan,” said Bra, “we know Goshin is strong. Maybe he’ll have enough power to overcome this guy.”
“We’ll just have to see, I guess,” she said solemnly.

TEN MINUTES LATER
“NOW! WOULD GOSHIN AND PAPAYA MAN PLEASE ENTER THE RING AT THIS TIME!”
Papaya Man quickly walked towards the ring this time before Goshin got out of the lounge. Once he did, he was greeted by his family.
“Try your hardest Goshin,” said Gonell.
“We know you got the strength in you son,” said Zonza, “it’s time to use it!”
“I will,” said Goshin. “Goku, I WILL win this, I promise to avenge yours and Vegeta’s defeats.”
“Thanks bro and good luck,” he replied.
Goshin stepped outside and was met by the roar of the anxious crowd. As he stepped into the ring, Papaya man approached him. “Good luck, Son Goshin. May the best man win,” he said as he bowed.
A strange look overcame Goshin’s face. “…And to you as well,” he said in return. But why’d he call me Son? he thought That’s my ancestor’s name.
“All right everybody!” yelled the announcer. “Are you ready for some championship calibur fighting!”
“YEAAAAA!” applauded the crowd as they rose to their feet.
“Kick his ass, Goshin!” yelled Bra. Everyone around her gave some strange looks as she quickly sat down. “Tee-hee, I guess I got caught up in the moment!”
“All right then!” answered the announcer. “This championship match is between the reigning champion, Papaya Man and the challenger, Goshin! Now, fighters take your battle poses!”
Goshin and Papaya Man entered their stances, their eyes locked on one another.
*BOOM*
“FIGHT!!”
Instantly, Papaya Man and Goshin vanished into thin air, but the sound of punches and kicks being blocked could still be heard.
“I can hardly keep up with them!” said Gonell. “Where’d they go?”
“I can still see them mom,” replied Goku. “They’re pretty even right now, but who knows when that could change.”
The fighting continued and Goshin was growing anxious. I have to release more power, this fighter keeps steadily increasing, getting stronger by the second! Then just as Goshin was about to punch his opponent, he suddenly opened his fist and quickly shot a ki blast in Papaya Man’s face, catching him off guard. In that one moment of Papaya Man being open, Goshin kicked him in the stomach, knocking him back to the earth.
“WHOA!” cried the announcer. “Papaya Man has just appeared out of nowhere! Oh! And there’s Goshin up there in the air! I’d better begin the count! One…!”
Just then, Papaya Man jumped up and looked towards Goshin. “Heh, perhaps we might have to do a little cleaning out before we really get started, eh Goshin?”
“What?!”
Finally, the long-awaited championship fight has arrived! It’s only just getting underway, but would could Papaya man be talking about? What is he planning to do? Find out in the next installment of DragonBall AF!
“I… I Can’t believe it!” stuttered the announcer. “He actually stood up!”
“Oh my!” exclaimed Pan.
“Papaya Man… has won again! Goku Jr. is disqualified!”
“YEAAAA!” The crowd screamed with joy as their champion won once again. Goku slowly reached his feet, and found Papaya Man looking down on him.
