Post by Son Goshin on Jan 31, 2005 21:03:09 GMT -5
Last time on DragonBall AF, Goshin won the World Tournament, and Papaya Man was unmasked to be the long lost Uubu! But unfortunately, he carries bad news. It seems that Dabura’s son is returning? What could he possibly want after all this time?
“What?!” exclaimed Master Roshi. “Da-Dabura’s son is returning? How can you know this for sure?”
“Wait,” asked Pan, “who is this Dabura we’re talking about?”
“Dabura is the king of the demons,” said Roshi, “when Babidi came to earth with Majin Buu, Dabura was his second in command. He fought with your father, and almost killed Piccolo and Krillin. But in the end, he was done in by Majin Buu himself.”
“Well why would his son come back now?” said Gonell.
“Perhaps I should tell you where I’ve been for the past 100 years before I get to that,” answered Uubu. “If you remember after Son Goku was taken by Shenlong, I disappeared. I went back to my village for a few months and then went to the northern mountains to find peace so I could train my new body that I was sharing with Buu. May I mention, that is the reason I still look so young. Buu aged at a very slow rate, it took him many millennia to age what we would call a year. That’s why it’s nearly impossible I’d die of old age. So for all those years I trained, mastering my strength and I’ve almost reached the pinnacle of my strength I believe.”
“Hold on a sec,” interrupted Vegeta. “If you’ve been alive all this time, then why didn’t you help us when we were fighting the Red Ribbon Army and Goshin?”
“He’s got a good point,” added Goku.
“Heh,” chuckled Uubu, “well you see, I knew you were fairly capable of defeating the Army all along. It just took you a little longer to realize that for yourselves.”
“Hmmm,” muttered Vegeta.
“But anyways,” continued Uubu, “about a year or so ago, I started sensing strange power levels. At first I completely disregarded it since the power was so insignificant to my own. But as time went on, I noticed that it felt… different. It didn’t feel human. So that’s when I decided to finally check out the source of the energy.
“Once I got there, I was surprised to find in a secluded cavern a gigantic portal. When I got near it, I started to feel sick. I could sense so much negative and evil energy that I could hardly operate. Then, out of nowhere, something jumped out of the portal and attacked me. I realized it was the same energy I had felt days before and I quickly knocked the creature out. I took it back to my side of the mountain and bound him so that when he woke up he wouldn’t escape.
“Once it came to, I started interrogating him, asking him where he had come from and who he was. At first, it didn’t answer me, but after some ‘persuasion’, he finally complied. It told me that he had come from the demon world and was a minion of Appolysis, the king of the demons. I immediately remembered that Dabura held the same title before he had died, and I asked him about it. It then revealed to me that Appolysis was indeed the son of Dabura and had taken his place.”
“Wait, what is all this talk of demon worlds?” asked Pan. “What is it exactly?”
“Think of it this way,” said Uubu. “This world and the demon world, or shadow realm, are like two sides of the same coin. It lies beyond our realm, sort of a different dimension really.”
“All this crazy talk is making my head spin,” complained Vegeta, “Can we please just get to the point?”
“Well you see,” continued Uubu, “after that I asked the creature what is purpose was, why he came here to Earth. It started laughing maniacally and called me a fool. He said that he was surveying the Earth for any strong levels of power before an invasion was to begin. It continued laughing and said that the strongest levels he could sense were to the west, and even they were like a mosquito compared to Appolysis. I surmised that it must be you three boys since you all live near West City. Thankfully for me, I had my power level masked so he couldn’t sense my true strength.”
“So you’re telling me that even with our newfound strengths,” said Goshin, “was for nothing and we have no chance of defeating this Appolysis?”
“That’s exactly what I’m saying,” answered Uubu bluntly. Everyone grew silent. Then Master Roshi broke the ice.
“Y-you’re just joking, right Uubu,” he stuttered. “You saw Goshin transform into a Super Saiyan 3 didn’t you? How can you say such a thing?”
“Because it’s true, a Super Saiyan 3 is no match for Appolysis.” Goku finally had something to say.
“All right then, if that’s so true, then I’m not just going to sit here! I’ll attain Super Saiyan 3 and go beyond that! I’ll be strong enough to beat this Appoli-whatshisface!”
“I admire your will to fight Goku,” said Uubu, “reminds me of your ancestor. But you didn’t allow me to finish. The thing then told me to prepare ourselves, for he would be coming sometime in the next year to conquer the earth and the rest of this realm to add to his empire. Then, it added that it didn’t want his lord to have a horrible match and told me to get stronger. And before I could do anything to stop him, it whipped his neck quickly to the side snapping its neck, taking its own life.”
“That is horrible!” exclaimed Dende. “But what can we do now to stop this from happening?”
“That’s where all of you come in,” added Uubu. “That is why I returned to the Strongest Under the Heavens Tournament last year. I decided to don the Papaya Man outfit once again because I was sure no one would recognize me. I hoped to see you boys there, but unfortunately you weren’t. I wanted to go to your house and talk to you, but that is when I sensed Goshin coming to earth. I wanted to see if you were strong enough to defeat him and the Red Ribbon Army. If you weren’t, I wouldn’t even consider asking you to do something that you obviously could not.”
“I see,” said Goshin.
“But there’s still more,” said Uubu. “After the creature died, I ventured into the portal, I had to know what lay inside. When I got there, as far as the eye could see was destruction. The sky was blood red, volcanoes were erupting in the distance, lightning bolted overhead, making it seem like the heavens themselves would come cashing down on my head! I hid behind some rocks near the hidden portal and began searching for power levels myself. I then sensed 3 distinct energies that were far stronger than me. Don’t get me wrong, there were many other formidable opponents, but nothing like the three that I sensed. That’s when I sensed what I KNEW must have been Appolysis! This power was so strong, nothing I had ever encountered in MY LIFE! I immediately left, because for the first time, I feared for my life. This my come as shocking to you, as it was to me, but this power exceeded even that of Omega Shenron himself!”
“WHAT?!” screamed Roshi, “you must be joking! Please, please tell me you are lying Uubu!”
“No, no,” mumbled Pan, “this can’t happen, not know. Why must this happen now?”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know who this Omega Shenron is that you speak of,” said Goshin.
“He was a monster!” exclaimed Pan. Even as Super Saiyan 4’s, my grandpa and Vegeta still could not defeat him! How can we possibly do the same?!”
“Super Saiyan 4!” yelled Goshin. “There is for a fact, yet another level that I know nothing about?”
“Yes, there is,” said Uubu. “That is what I’m counting on to help us defeat this enemy. You see, Super Saiyan 4 does not follow the Super Saiyan 3 transformation. This form is attained only if the Saiyan tail is intact, and if you can tame the Oozaru that you become, you will achieve this level.”
“But then,” said Goshin, “could not that mean that there is yet another unknown transformation beyond Super Saiyan 3, one which does not require the Oozaru stage to be reached? Goku and Vegeta have no tail! And besides, my grandmother said that a Super Saiyan 4 could not even defeat one that was weaker than he!”
“I feared as much,” replied Uubu, “but you are Saiyans! You never cease to surprise anybody! If anybody can break barriers, it is your race. I never would have attained my strength if it had not been for fusion, but you boys have almost matched my strength on your own! If we can train, we must be able to defeat Appolysis!”
“But why *SNIFF* why?” cried Pan. “Why does this have to happen? There’s no reason for him to come here and do this to us!”
“You’re right Pan,” said Uubu, “we can only guess what Appolysis’ true motives are. We don’t even know for sure when he is coming. And it’s entirely impossible to get back into the demon world, for the portal has now closed. So we must until he arrives. It could be tomorrow, it could be in 6 months. No matter how long it takes, we must be ready! Are you boys up to the challenge to defend your earth?”
“You know I am,” stated Goku.
“Count me in,” said Vegeta.
“I will protect you all” said Goshin. “But more importantly, I’ll attain these new levels of Super Saiyan. I will reach a new level, whether it be beyond Super Saiyan 4 transformation, or beyond Super Saiyan 3. Mark my words, I will surpass one of these levels.”
“Great to hear,” said Uubu. “Now for the main reason we came here. We will put the Lookout to use. For part of our training, we use the Room of Spirit and Time.”
In a shocking tale by Uubu, all has been revealed! What is Appolysis’ true motives? Can Goshin really attain a new level of Super Saiyan? Can he and Goku and Vegeta gain more strength in the Room of Spirit and Time? Find out in the coming chapters of DragonBall AF!
“What?!” exclaimed Master Roshi. “Da-Dabura’s son is returning? How can you know this for sure?”
“Wait,” asked Pan, “who is this Dabura we’re talking about?”
“Dabura is the king of the demons,” said Roshi, “when Babidi came to earth with Majin Buu, Dabura was his second in command. He fought with your father, and almost killed Piccolo and Krillin. But in the end, he was done in by Majin Buu himself.”
