Last time on DragonBall AF, the fervid battle between Papaya Man and Goshin continued. As both fighters powered up, Goshin achieved the awesome power of Super Saiyan 3. But now locked in a death grip, can Goshin come out triumphant?!
“AHHHHH!” Goshin continued struggling trying to push back Papaya Man’s Dragon Fist, but Papaya Man kept pouring out all his ki making it impossible for Goshin to do so. “Please! Help your brother Goku!” cried Pan. “He could be killed!” “Grandma, I… I can’t,” replied Goku, “I know it seems strange, but I know he doesn’t want my help. Besides, what good could I do? He’s only dead even and he’s a Super Saiyan 3!” Just then Goshin’s aura began to pick up ever so slightly. Then, Bra noticed something. “Am I just seeing things, or is there something wiggling about in the back of Goshin’s pants?” Everyone took a closer look, and sure enough, something was indeed moving. “Oh!” exclaimed Goku. “How could I forget? That’s Goshin’s tail!” “HIS TAIL?!” screamed Pan. “You never told me Goshin had a tail still!” “You didn’t know?” questioned Goku. “I thought he told everybody. But it seems he’s got a plan.” Back at the battle ground, both of the fighters were tiring. “Now… or never,” muttered Goshin. Suddenly, his golden tail broke free from his pants and wrapped around Papaya Man’s leg, catching him off guard. “WHAT?!” Goshin pulled and swept Papaya Man off his feet. Papaya Man’s Dragon Fist dissipated and Goshin let out a yell. “KAMEHAMEHA!” In an instant, Papaya Man was enveloped by it and once again, everybody was blinded. “Yea Goshin!” yelled Goku triumphantly. Soon, the light and dust cleared and Papaya Man was on the ground face first, his clothes ripped almost totally to shreds, and his helmet was torn off as well. Goshin was gasping for air as he looked on at the effects of his attack. “HEY!” yelled Goshin as he turned around. “AREN’T YOU SUPPOSED TO START THE COUNT?!” “Is he talking to me?” whimpered the announcer. “I believe so, who else is going to count?” said Zonza. “Oh…uh… all right then. 1… 2…3…” Goshin sat down on a rock and put his head in his arms. He was dead tired from the fight and was finally able to get a breather. “…7… 8… 9…” But just as he was about to count the last number, Papaya Man began to stir. Goshin became fully alert as a look of frustration came to his eyes. This can’t be happening, I put the last of my energy into that blast. If I give anymore, I won’t be able to hold up Super Saiyan 3 anymore! Papaya Man slowly rose to his feet, his back turned to Goku and the others. “Dang it!” said Goku. “we were so close!” “Oh my goodness!” said Pan. “His mask’s fallen off, but I can’t see his face!” Goshin entered a defensive stance, but all Papaya Man did was smile. “Don’t worry Goshin, our fight is over,” he said. “I concede victory to you.” A look of awe came over Goshin’s face as he heard these words. “Well, he-he’s forfeited!” said the announcer. “That means then that Goshin is the new champion of the Strongest Under the Heavens Tournament!” “YEA!” yelled everyone. Goku let down his barrier as he and Gonell flew everyone back down towards the ground. Goshin powered down but then held his arm up. “Wait guys, don’t come any closer, I don’t know what this guy’s up to. I don’t want you getting hurt.” The group stopped a few feet behind the unmasked Papaya Man. Then Goshin turned his attention to the former champion. “All right, you’re unmasked now. Just who are you? What are you planning now?” “No, it’s all right,” chuckled Papaya Man. “Our fight is over. I think it’s time we had a reunion.” He turned around to face the group and smiled. “Oh my!” gulped Pan. “That black mohawk, that skin. Is it really you… Uubu?” “Heh, the one only!” he replied. Pan than rushed up to him and gave him a hug as the two friends were reunited for the first time in years. Bra, Master Roshi, and Turtle looked on with joy. “Great to see ya again, my boy!” said Roshi. “Wait, you’re Uubu?” said Goku. “My grandma told me a lot about you, but I never would’ve thought you would be Papaya Man!” “Me either!” said Pan. “Oh Uubu, where have you been all these years? And you face, you haven’t changed a bit! You still look exactly the same since we fought the evil Shenlongs!” “Yes, I know,” replied Uubu. “There’s a lot to explain. There’s also some important info you’ll want to hear as well. If you would accompany me to the Lookout, I’d be more than happy to tell you all what’s going on.” “The Lookout, what’s that?” asked Goku. “Oh, you’ve never been there Goku,” said Pan. “It’s Kami’s Lookout, where the god of earth resides. I went there many times with my grandpa.” “God?!” exclaimed Goku. “You mean we’re going to meet God?!” “Hahaha, you’ll see Goku,” laughed Pan. “Well, if you’re all ready, let’s get going,” said Uubu. “We can get some Senzu beans from Korin along the-“ “Wait just a minute,” said Goshin. “I want to know right now why you were fighting us. Why were you fighting us in secret? I want to know your motives before I go anywhere with you.” “Goshin, don’t be so rude!” exclaimed Gonell. “No, I understand where you’re coming from,” replied Uubu solemnly. “The truth is, I needed to test your fighting abilities, all of you. And I must say you’re moving along a lot faster than I thought you were.” “But why did you wish to test us is what I must now,” said Goshin. “I won’t tell you all the details now since Dende still needs to hear this, but, there is a great evil coming to Earth. Actually it’s already here. I needed to see if you all were strong enough to fight these new enemies. Now if you come with me, I will be able to go into more detail.” “Grrrr, fine then,” he growled. “But I still don’t trust you, partially because I can’t read your mind. Now, come on and let’s Goku.” “Well then,” continued Papaya Man, “I’m sure you’d like to check out Vegeta real quick, right Bra? We’ll get him some Senzu to heal the rest of his injuries.” “That’ll be fine,” she replied. “Goku, would you be a dear and take me over there to get him?” “Uh, sure,” he said. “But what’s this talk of Senzu beans? I thought we were meeting God, not Korin.” “Hahaha,” chortled Uubu, “I suppose you don’t know that a few miles above Korin’s Tower is the Lookout.” “Really?” said Goku surprised. “That’s awesome! I know exactly how to get there then! You guys go on ahead, me, Vegeta, and his grandma will be there in no time!” And with that, he took Bra up in his arms and blasted off towards where Vegeta was being hospitalized. “Well, I think we’re about ready to go,” said Master Roshi, “although I suppose it will be hassle to fly all us non-fliers over there.” “Oh not to worry Master Roshi,” said Uubu. “These past 100 years, I’ve been refining a skill Son Goku tried teaching me long ago. I’ve finally got the hang of it to. Everybody, grab hold of me or person touching me.” “Oh, I know what you’re using!” exclaimed Roshi. “Yup, Instantaneous Movement!” said Uubu. And with that, he placed his two fingers on his forehead and quickly disappeared.
***** “So when did you say they were coming by, Mr. Popo?” asked Dende. He had gotten much older over the years as his skin had become wrinkled. But he was still ready and able to be the guardian of the Earth. “Oh, I believe it will be very shortly, it’s already getting close to the evening,” he relpied. Just then, a blur appeared in front of them, and they soon realized who it was. “Hey you’re all finally here!” exclaimed Dende. “I guess you got my message to him then Mr. Popo,” replied Uubu. “Of course!” he smiled. “But it’s so good to see you all again. And you all look very healthy and alert.” “Well, we just stopped for some Senzu beans to heal some of us,” said Pan. “I guess we’ll just have to wait a little bit for Goku and Vegeta to get here.” “GOKU AND VEGETA?!” exclaimed Dende. “They’re back?! I didn’t know they were alive again!” “No Dende,” said Pan. “That’s my grandson Goku Jr. and Bra’s grandson Vegeta Jr. We named them after their ancestors.” “Oh, phew!” sighed Dende. “You almost gave me a heart attack!” Just then Goku and Vegeta arrived, along with Bra, Celery, and Rupan on their backs. “See Vegeta!” said Goku. “This is God’s Lookout!” “Hey, wait a sec, I’m not God!” said Dende, “I’m just the humble guardian of Earth, heh-heh.” “Tch, you moron Goku,” snapped Vegeta. “Anyways, I knew it was you Uubu.” “Yup, you're right,” said Uubu. “But I think it’s time we get a little serious. Dende, I have some very bad news for you and everybody.” “Well, what is it? Please tell us,” said Dende. “It seems that our Earth has been invaded,” he said. “A small portal has opened up to the shadow world where the King of the Demons lies. Dabura’s son has seemingly come for his revenge!”
What’s this?! Dabura’s son has come to Earth?! What could this mean for our heroes and the earth? You won’t want to miss the next DragonBall AF!

Last time on DragonBall AF, Goshin and Papaya Man’s match continued, quickly becoming more and more destructive as time went on. Finally, the stadium was all but reduced to ashes! The true fight between these superpowers continues now!
“Yea, hear me?!” yelled Goshin. “I accept your challenge! There’s no going back now!” Papaya Man surveyed the damage. The ring was almost destroyed. All that was left of the ring was a few titles. The seats were all but destroyed except for a couple of the rows where Goku had put up his barrier. Besides that, the only thing left untouched was the miraculously untouched statue of Son Goku, seemingly acting as some kind of omen. “Of course,” finally said Papaya Man. “Now I’ll show you real power, Goshin. I hope to see what you’re really made of too. AHHHHHHHHHH!” With that Papaya Man started powering up. A pink aura soon enveloped him as his muscles bulged ever so slightly, but everyone around him could tell that his ki was massively increasing. I guess it’s time I started powering up as well. thought Goshin. “RAHHHHHHH!” Goku and the others looked on in awe from the safety of the barrier. “Oh dear,” worried Pan, “I hope everyone got away from the stadium all right! I’d hate to use the DragonBalls to wish back anybody that might’ve died.” Apparently, Pan’s words fell on deaf ears. “They’re… they’re so strong,” muttered Goku. “But Goshin, wha- what is he becoming? This strength coming from him seems unreal!” “I think I have an idea of what it may be,” chimed in Master Roshi. “Something your great-great grandfather achieved while fighting Majin Buu. But we may need a few more minutes to see if my assumptions are true.” Soon, Papaya Man stopped his wailing and stood there with his cape billowing in the wind, a confident look in his eyes. But Goshin was still not finished. “HEY!” yelled Goshin unexpectedly. “I… was going to save this technique for later, but I figured now is as good a time as any! Remind me… if you’ve seen this… before!! AHHHHHHHHH!” Goshin’s aura made a massive leap; surges of lightning surrounded his body as his hair began to grow even more. Papaya Man’s eyes then grew wide. “Has he really achieved it already?” he gaped. “Is Goshin a… Super Saiyan 3?!” “AHHHHHHHHHHH!” Goshin’s transformation continued. His hair was still growing, up until the point that it reached his waist. His biceps bulged, filled with the power to take down his opponent. His breathing became heavier as the transformation reached its climax. His eyebrows soon vanished and his eyes changed from the pure green to a menacing glare with piercing black pupils. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Suddenly, a great ball of light overcame Goshin and blinded everybody around him. After a few moments, the light dissipated. There where the ring once was, stood Goshin. He had finally become a Super Saiyan 3. “My God!” gasped Pan, “he’s a-a-a…” “…a Super Saiyan 3!” marveled Roshi. “You mean, there’s another level beyond Super Saiyan 2?” yelled Goku. “I in fact just achieved that status a month back, I was saving it to show Goshin after the tournament, or if we met in the finals. But now, we’re not even in the same league!” Back where the ring should be Papaya Man’s gaping look of astonishment had changed into a smirk. “Congratulations, Goshin. You’ve achieved a great amount today.” “Thanks I guess,” replied Goshin. “but you now it all means nothing unless I defeat you and find out who you really are.” “Then let us begin round 2!” announced Papaya Man. And in a flash both fighters vanished. “Look how fast they move!” said Goku. “Sometimes I can’t even keep up with their movements! And their strength, I think they’re practically even now!” “That is what it seems like,” commented Gonell. “I just hope he can pull through.” After a minute of trying to test their speeds, Goshin finally caught Papaya Man with a punch right to the jaw followed by a kick straight in the stomach sending Papaya Man sailing through the air. “You can do better than that!” yelled Goshin. He flew towards Papaya Man, ready to throw another punch when suddenly Papaya Man flipped directly over Goshin and kicked him in the back. *HACK* Goshin started coughing and spurting up blood as he fell to the ground in a downward spiral. Fortunately, he caught himself before he hit the ground and quickly went back up into the sky towards the champ. Then, Papaya Man pulled his hands behind his back, and Goshin instantly knew what he was doing. “KAMEHAME-HA!” Papaya Man released the wave and it seemed it was about to encompass Goshin in its wake. “Well then,” snickered Goshin. “KAMEHAMEHA!!” And before Papaya Man’s wave could hit, Goshin released his own and the two beams made contact with each other as both struggled for the upper hand. “I…am…stronger!!!” screamed Goshin as he put even more power behind his wave. Papaya Man tried with all his might to hold the wave back, but he started losing his grip. “GRRRRRR, NOO!” Goshin’s wave took over Papaya Man’s, and this time Papaya Man did not escape the attack and was swallowed up by it in a deafening explosion. *BABOOOOOM* “I-I want my mommy,” cried the announcer. “Be quiet you baby,” squawked Bra as she pounded him on the head. The dust soon cleared, and nothing at all was left of the stadium which once stood there. “Where’d Papaya Man go?” said Goku. “Did Goshin really beat him?” On the battleground, Goshin closed his eyes, concentrating. I still sense his ki. He’s masking it now, but not enough. “I know you’re still alive! Come out you bastard!” All of a sudden, Papaya Man leapt up from underneath the ground. Rage was in his eyes, and he was covered in a mix of dirt and blood. “HYAAAAAH!!” He ran straight towards Goshin and started giving him a flurry of punches and kicks. Goshin blocked the first few, but the champ became more and more persistent and started landing his blows. “UFF! AHH!” cried Goshin as he tried his best to block. Soon Papaya Man gained the upper hand and was about to send him sprawling away when Goshin grabbed his fists. “HAAAAH!” Goshin head butted Papaya Man who wasn’t expecting anything of the sort. Then before Papaya Man could throw another kick or punch, Goshin slammed his fist into Papaya Man’s gut causing him to choke on his own blood and fall to his knees. “Perhaps my increase in power was too great!” chuckled Goshin. Suddenly, Papaya Man looked up. “Never underestimate your opponent!” And in a fraction of a second, he grabbed Goshin’s leg and twisted it far enough to cause the bone to break. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!” screamed Goshin in pain. Papaya Man took this chance and belted Goshin square in the face, leaving the young Saiyan dizzy. Then, Papaya Man grabbed Goshin by his collar and lifted him up into the air. “I’m sorry, but what goes around comes around,” said the champ solemnly. And with that he punched the stunned Goshin in the stomach, the same place where he had been punched. Goshin fell to the ground, coughing up blood. Then, Papaya Man rose up into the air and started powering up. “Goku!” yelled Pan, “help you’re brother! Please!” “Grandma, you know I can’t yet. I can’t- I can’t break in yet. I know that he wouldn’t want me to.” “But…” she pleaded. “Mom, Goku’s right,” said Gonell. “Me and Zonza both know Goshin has to do this himself. If he’s in mortal danger, we will save him. “Oh my…” muttered Pan somberly. Back on the battlefield, Papaya Man finished powering up, but Goshin was still sprawled on the ground in a state of confusion. His long hair was mangled and his clothes were ripping to shreds. Then, Papaya Man began to speak. “I don’t know if you can hear me, Goshin,” he said, “but hopefully you realize now there are people out there stronger than you. I was hoping you’d last a bit longer, but I can see you weren’t ready to take me at my present level. This is where our battle ends now, but I would love the opportunity to fight again. But now, the moment has come.” Papaya Man paused for a moment. Goshin was slightly stirring, but it seemed of no consequence. This can’t end now thought Goshin. I’ve come so far, I can’t lose now. How can I possibly lose? What can I do now? I feel so- wasted… “SUPER…” called Papaya Man, “…DRAGON… FIST!!” “OH NO!” yelled Pan. “Grandpa’s finisher! STOP HIM!” “HYAAAAAH!” yelled Papaya Man. The shadow of a dragon was behind him as he began rapidly descending towards Goshin. His fist outstretched, he was ready to place the final blow. I CAN’T AFFORD TO LOSE! thought Goshin. At the moment of impact, Goshin amazingly sat up, and clenched Papaya Man’s fist with both his hands. “WHAT?!” yelled the champ with a look of surprise. The ki inside his hand was still making his hand move ever closer to Goshin’s face, but Goshin held it, not letting the attack hit him. “AHHHHHHHHHHH!” yelled Goshin. “SCREW YOU! I’M NOT LOSING!!!” Goshin continued struggling and Papaya Man kept on trying to connect his fist into Goshin’s face. Streaks of lightning stretched across the sky, as the clouds grew darker and darker. The magnitude of the two powers being concentrated on one point was taking a toll on the area surrounding them. “Somebody… has to stop them!” screamed Pan. “Please! GOSHIN!!!”
In an amazing turn of events, Goshin has changed the tables. Now caught in a death grip, can he defeat the reigning champion?! Find out in the next installment of DragonBall AF!

Last time on DragonBall AF, the time for the final match of the Strongest Under the Heavens Tournament was finally upon our heroes. After Goshin had made quick work of Saiyaman III, Papaya man awaited him in the final bout. Who will triumph in this test of skills, and what could the mysterious Papaya Man have up his sleeve?
“Heh,” chuckled Papaya Man as he floated high above the ring, “we may have to do a little cleaning before we get serious, eh Goshin?” “Wha-what? What are you talking about?” he retorted. Well, it may be better if we test your abilities a little bit more first,” said Papaya Man. As soon as he said that, he quickly disappeared. Goshin on the other hand stood in the same spot, his eyes closed. Where are you… he thought. Suddenly, Papaya Man appeared behind him. Just as he was going to punch Goshin, he lifted up his fist and blocked the punch. But Papaya Man wasn’t done yet, and he fell to the ground making a sweeping kick to Goshin’s legs causing him to fall over. “Here we go!” yelled Papaya Man. Before Goshin could hit the ground, the champ quickly kicked Goshin again, this time straight up into the air. “AHHHH!” Goshin screamed. Papaya Man flew up at top speed to meet him at the moment before he started to descend again. “HAAA!” *BWOK* Papaya Man had grasped his hands together and came down straight on Goshin’s head with enough force to knock him to the ground in a second. “Ooooh!” winced the announcer. “Goshin might have a hard time getting up it seems. I’ll begin the count! One…” Papaya Man touched down near the crater Goshin had just made, the dust still not totally cleared. “Come on Goshin,” said Papaya Man, “I know you aren’t done yet. You know you want to transform. So go ahead, or maybe you’d even like to take it one level beyond that!” “AHHHHHHH!” yelled Goshin as he blew the dust away with his aura. The announcer was blown away by the sheer magnitude, but Papaya Man stood firmly, waiting for Goshin to emerge. When he finally did his power had raised exponentially, surges of lightning crossing his body as he made the transformation to Super Saiyan 2. “Impressive,” commented Papaya Man. “But you should be careful how you use your power, tens of thousands of people are only a few yards away from you.” “Do not tell me how to fight,” said Goshin bluntly. He then brought his hands together and brought them behind his back. “KA-ME-HA-ME…!” “You really don’t plan to use that do you?” snorted Papaya Man. “You know I’ll just dodge it.” The blue energy in Goshin’s hands continued to grow as Papaya Man stood ready for the attack to come. “No, you won’t,” replied Goshin. “Hunh?!” Goshin disappeared and as soon as he did so, he finished the chant. “-HAAAA!” “What? No!” yelled Papaya an. Goshin had appeared behind him and released the Kamehameha Wave before he could turn around. “AHHHHH!” *BOOOM* The whole stadium began to shake, the giant statue of Mr. Satan fell of it’s pedestal and was destroyed as many of the people in the stands began to flee and fear for their lives. After a moment the rumbling finally stopped and Papaya Man was on the ground, his costume partially ripped and tarnished. The announcer amazingly unhurt surveyed the damage. “This is unreal! Papaya Man is down!” “Not… quite,” Papaya Man suddenly jumped up and dusted himself off. Gosh, he thought, that technique resembled every bit of Son Goku’s special technique. But how was he able to warp behind me so quick with out using Instantaneous Movement? Goshin snickered to himself. “I knew you weren’t done yet, I had to hold back too much.” “A wise decision,” replied Papaya Man. “Perhaps now would be a good time to do that cleaning I mentioned…” “All right, enough!” sneered Goshin, “What is this you’re speaking about?” “It seems,” said the announcer, “that our fighters are now having a battle of words. Whatever they’re saying, it seems to be of some importance to them.” “You know,” said Papaya Man, “make sure there’s no people around, so we can go all out.” “Well, you wouldn’t have to get everybody out in that case,” replied Goshin. “The reason I’m holding back is so that I don’t harm my family and friends. The rest of the spectators in the audience are not of too much consequence for me.” “What? You really feel that way?” questioned Papaya Man. “Yes,” said Goshin, “but don’t get me wrong. I’m not a cold-hearted bastard who kills for his own personal pleasure. Hmmm, thought Papaya Man this Goshin is not quite like the others. What’s his story? “Well how about this Goshin? I will raise my power to only 35% of my true strength…” “You must be bluffing!” interrupted Goshin with a surprised look. “That I’m not,” replied Papaya Man. “I’ve seen what you can do while holding back, now witness how I fare. The power level I was fighting t before was so miniscule it can’t be measured, that’s why I must raise it just a tad to give you a choice. If you still think you got what it takes to fight me for real, we’ll do so without distractions, but only if you can get me down at this level. But if you feel after a few moments that you wouldn’t be able to defeat me after I increase my strength, I will give you the chance to forfeit.” “Fine with me,” said Goshin. “But keep in mind that I too have yet to reach my peak!” “Very well then, because here I come! AHHHHH!” Papaya Man powered up and then charged at Goshin, giving him a barrage of punches. “The fight finally continues, and it seems Papaya Man has the edge!” yelled the announcer, but he was only half right. Goshin kept blocking the punches, but ever so slightly, he was beginning to lose some ground. Finally, Papaya Man overpowered him and finally connected and hit him in the face. Goshin slammed into the ground hard and Papaya Man immediately leapt into the air. “I hope you’re prepared Goshin!” he yelled. Goshin got up a bit dizzy, but when he looked up in the sky, he was surprised to see a giant, pink ball of energy emanating from Papaya Man’s finger. “Oh no!” he exclaimed. He jumped up to pursue Papaya Man, but the champ was too quick and he launched the attack. It was heading straight for Goshin, and he knew he had no chance to evade it. d*mn it! Even if I could evade it, it may be powerful enough to destroy this entire place! Is he really still holding back?! “My goodness!” screamed the announcer, “Papaya Man has just fired an enormous attack! What will happen next is anyone’s guess!” The ki blast reached Goshin and he held it with all his might. “Ahhhhhhh!” he yelled. The attack was still advancing, pushing Goshin back until he touched the ground. His feet now firmly planted, he battled to not let the wave encompass him. “Come now Goshin,” said Papaya Man as he looked on from above, “try to push it back at me this is your one chance!” “ARRRGH! You lied!” hollered Goshin. “You’re not holding back! This must be more than 35% of your power! I… I can’t believe I trusted you. I thought you were a fair fighter! So who’s to say that I should be left at a disadvantage now? AHHHHHHHH!” Goshin began powering up even more, but a worried look overcame Papaya Man’s face. But this is only 35% of my power! he thought. I’ve been wrong to assume that he can take this much! What have I done?! “This… this isn’t looking good,” worried Master Roshi from the stands. “We might have to act soon.” “What are you talking about?” retorted Pan. “Goshin’s fine, right?” “I don’t know,” said Roshi, “but if he can’t control that attack, we’re all done for!” Back in the waiting area, Goku was beginning to get a little worried also. “Mom, dad, I think we might have to get everyone out of here!” “Goku, you might be right,” said Gonell. “I’m going to get grandma and the others,” continued Goku. “I’ll put up a barrier so we can watch from a safe distance. I don’t want to break in since this is an official tournament, but I have to be ready if it comes to that, come on!” With that, he grabbed his dad and jumped into the air with Gonell following. “EVEYBODY!” yelled Goku. “GET AWAY FROM HERE AS FAST AS YOU CAN THE MATCH IS NO LONGER SAFE! YOU’RE ALL IN DANGER!” Many of the people took heed and the stands began to empty as they realized what Goku was saying was true. Goku then touched down and grabbed Roshi, Bra, and Pan. As he was flying to the end of the stadium, he noticed the announcer cowering in fear. “We can’t have a fight without an announcer I guess!” he dropped the others off on the roof at the far end of the stadium and grabbed the announcer. “You can do it Goshin!!” yelled Goku as he flew back towards the others. Once back, he put up the barrier as he and everyone else looked on at the struggle still going on between the two fighters. If he can’t push that back everybody could die! thought Papaya Man “I must stop this! Wha-what?!” Just before he was about to act, Goshin began pushing the wave back as his power grew more and more. “AHHHHHHHHHHHH!” yelled Goshin, and with a final blast of energy he was able to push back Papya Man’s attack with his own ki wave. *BOOOOM* the explosion of the two energies colliding was deafening, but Goku’s barrier held, and Papaya Man dodged the explosion unharmed. He touched back down on the partially destroyed ring and looked into Goshin’s bloodshot eyes. “You’ve really pissed me off now!” said Goshin. “I accept your challenge! Nobody else is here now, no distractions! Now, we’re going all out!”
Amazing! Goshin has pushed back Papaya Man’s attack! Now, the true fight begins. Make sure you don’t miss the next DragonBall AF!

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!

Last time on DragonBall AF, the final two matches of the quarter finals were completed. In another embarrassing loss, the Great Saiyaman III defeated Gonell. But in the next match, Goshin defeated his opponent, Joe Boxer, in less than a second! Now, the long-awaited confrontation between Goku Jr. and Papaya Man is ready to take place! Who will emerge victorious, and who will be the handed the loss?...
“FIGHT!” Instantly, Papaya Man leapt into the air, with Goku in hot pursuit. Papaya Man turned around to face the charging Goku, and he had little time to react to Goku’s oncoming punch. *THWOK* “Oooooo! Amazing!” yelled the announcer. “Somehow Papaya Man blocked Goku’s fist! I thought that would for sure make contact! Uh-oh! It seems they’re at it again!” Goku started giving Papaya Man a flurry of punches, and the champ was narrowly blocking everyone. “Come on Goku,” muttered Papaya Man. “I know you have more in you. Show me the power you used to fight your brother.” Goku stopped suddenly. “What?! How-how did you know?!” “Ah, Goku,” he replied, “you have much to learn still I guess. Don’t let your guard down for anything!” And before Goku could react, Papaya Man drove his fist into Goku’s gut, causing him to cough up blood as he slowly fell to the ground. “No Goku!” screamed Gonell. Luckily, before he hit the ground, Goku regrouped himself and landed firmly with his two feet on the ground. Papaya Man had also made his descent and the two fighters were staring each other down. “That was a dirty trick!” remarked Goku. “As a fighter, you have to be prepared for anything your opponent may deal you, I thought you realized this by now. Now why don’t you be a good sport and show me some of your techniques, maybe something similar to Vegeta’s. Hm?” “How do you know all this?” demanded Goku. “Who are you?” “You’ll find out in due time,” answered the masked fighter, “but let’s focus on the present and enjoy our match for now.” “ARRRRRRGH!” yelled Goku and he charged towards Papaya Man again. But this time, he disappeared just before he was about to hit him and Papaya Man began looking all around for him. “Here I am!” Papaya Man turned around, but by then it was too late as Goku made a quick kick to his head and sent him soaring across the ring. “An amazing attack!” screamed the announcer. “Goku appeared out of nowhere and knocked Papaya Man to the ground!” As he said this, Papaya Man slowly rose up again. Seeing this Goku began another charge towards him. “Your mine!” he yelled. But before he could reach him, Papaya Man closed his eyes. He raised his hands into the air as a pink light started radiating from them. This didn’t phase Goku and he kept on going. Then, Papaya Man quickly opened his eyes, and released a gargantuan wave straight towards Goku. He stopped dead in his tracks and realized he didn’t have a chance. “AHHHHHHHH!” Goku tried to hold it back with all his strength, but it was too much for him. “Goku,” yelled Papaya Man, “you know what you must do. Release your power, unless you wish to be done in by this ki wave.” “RRRAAAHH! I WON’T LET YOU BOSS ME AROUND!” Goku began to power up, but he didn’t transform into a Super Saiyan. A white aura began to come around him, and he was slowly gaining ground as he began pushing the blast back towards the champ. The attack began to tear up the tournament floor and the crowd was growing more and more scared by the moment. “Goku! Don’t be a fool!” yelled Papaya Man. “Transform now!” “NO!” “He leaves me no choice,” he muttered to himself. He rose his hands again and started putting even more power into the wave that Goku was trying so desperately hard to hold back. Now Papaya Man was gaining once again. Dang it! thought Goku. I can’t hold out much longer, but I can if I turn Super Saiyan. But why does he want me too? Why does he want to see my power so bad? What is he planning to do? And my mom! She doesn’t want me going Super Saiyan! But, I also can’t let me self be killed! “AHHHHHHHH!” A tremendous amount of power began growing inside of Goku. The power he was emitting blew the announcer out of the ring and he fell flat on his face on the grass outside the ring. Papaya Man’s eyes began to light up. “Good,” he said to himself, “I’ll finally be able to judge what he’s made of.” In not time, Goku’s yellow aura reappeared, his hair and eyes changed color, and he was a Super Saiyan once again. “AHHHHHHH!” He began sending the wave back towards Papaya Man, sending him teetering on the edge of the ring. Then, without warning, Papaya Man released his hold on the blast, and let it engulf him. *BOOM* The explosion was thundering, and shook the entire stadium. After the brightness had dissipated, Goku was standing in the ring alone and Papaya Man was nowhere to be found. “Wh-where is Papaya Man?” panicked the announcer. “Ladies and gentlemen, I see no sign of him anywhere. And- what this?! Goku’s hair has turned... golden! Wait, what’s that?” Everybody’s attention was directed towards the sky, Papaya Man was there almost without a scratch, his cape blowing through the wind. “I knew you had it in you Goku,” said Papaya Man. “I knew it all along.” The look in Goku’s eyes was pure astonishment. “HOW?! How, are you still alive!” “This isn’t looking good,” said Goshin. “Of course he’s still alive. That blast wasn’t enough to kill him. He barely used a quarter of his strength to make that. And now it seems his power’s jumped another level. I sense the same gap between him and Goku’s powers once again, even though Goku has transformed! How is this fighter?”
*** Miles away, Vegeta was in the hospital, watching the natch unfold on the TV in his room. “Come on Goku! You have to beat this guy!” “Vegeta, don’t get too anxious,” cautioned Celery. “The doctor said to be still as possible.” “I know mom,” complained Vegeta. “But this guy, it’s like he’s unstoppable or something! But now, I can’t even remember who he is! I can’t even remember the stupid friggin match!” In anger, Vegeta knocked over his food tray, spilling it over the floor. “Vegeta,” said Rupan, “The doctor says temporary amnesia is normal. Don’t worry yourself about it kid. It’ll all come back to you.” **** Back at the match, Goku was still trying to figure out what just happened. “I think it’s time we get serious. What do you say Goku?” said Papaya Man. “You’d just better be on guard!” yelled Goku, and with that he flew up into the air to meet his foe. Another aerial battle ensued, and both fighters where giving each other a tumult of punches and kicks. It didn’t seem like either fighter was gaining, and Goku began growing more and more enraged. Suddenly, Goku vanished, and quickly reappeared even higher above Papaya Man, both hands on his forehead. “Im gettin you back now you cheat! Solar Flare!” A bright yellow light illuminated the entire arena. Everyone was blinded by the attack, including Papaya Man. d*mn it! thought Papaya Man, wasn’t exactly expecting that! I guess I should take some of my own advice! Uh-oh. Goku started rushing towards the blinded Papaya Man was his fist closed tight, ready to pummel the champ’s face. “HYYAH!” Goku made direct contact on Papaya Man’s cheek, causing his head to snap awkwardly to the side. Goku still wasn’t done and started punching and kicking Papaya Man with out letting up. All right, I’ve seen enough thought Papaya Man. Still blinded, he caught one of Goku’s fists, followed by his other. “Huh?” gaped Goku. He seemingly had a death grip on Goku as he kept squeezing his hands tighter and tighter. Goku stopped kicking and started screaming in agony. But as all this was going on, Papaya Man’s power started to pick up. Goshin noticed the difference. “Good Lord! His power keeps rising!” he remarked. “Is Goku going to be all right?” asked Gonell. “I don’t know, but I think we’re seeing a glimpse of his true power now.” Now Papaya Man’s own screams were growing louder than Goku’s. His power kept growing, and soon both fighters were engulfed in a pink aura. He let go of Goku, his body going limp. Papaya Man’s power kept steadily rising. “AHHHHHHH!” “This is something I’ve never seen before folks!” addressed the announcer. “Papaya Man seems to have ensnared Goku inside a giant light of some sort, but from the looks of it, he isn’t moving! What is the champ planning on doing?!” Then Goku, seemed to awake, but was only half-conscious. What’s going on? What’s this aura? Is that... yes, Papaya Man! He’s trapped me in here! I’ve-I’ve got to do something! Everyone’s counting on me! I have to stop im before he finishes whatever he’s doing! Goku became fully awake, and Papaya Man sensed this, and started to manifest his aura into one single energy attack. But it was too late. “KAMEHAME-HAAA!!” Goku released the wave, point-blank at Papaya Man who just barely had enough time to get his attack of as well. As soon as the two beams collided, a monstrous explosion occurred, sending the two combatants falling to the ground and blinding everyone in the stadium once again. When the light cleared, both fighters were in giant craters, seemingly knocked-out. The announcer ran towards the ring and looked at the two fighters, both of them starting to stir. “I must begin the count!” he announced. “1...2...3...4!” Goku tried to get up, but he could barely move. He was bloody and torn. The same was for Papaya Man, but he hardly had a scratch on him once again. “5..6...7...8...9...TEN! *GASP* I don’t believe it, he’s gotten up! He’s won!”
What’s this, somebody’s actually risen up after the gargantuan blasts that both fighters have released! Who has risen triumphant? Who will go to the final round? Find out the shocking answer next time on DragonBall AF!

Last time on DragonBall AF, Goku advanced to the semis after defeating the Slayer, but Vegeta wasn’t so lucky. After losing to the reining champ, Papaya Man, more questions have arisen. Just who’s face did Vegeta see under his opponent’s mask? And how will Goku fare now that he fights him in the semis?
Papaya Man looked on at the scene from afar. “I’m sorry Vegeta,” he said to himself. “I’m sure you’ll be OK, a blow like that isn’t enough to kill you. I just hope you find the heart to forgive me later.” He walked back into the now emptied waiting area to think about the situation. Back on the tournament floor, Vegeta was air-lifted to the hospital. Celery and Rupan also climbed in and went to the hospital with their son. “Dang,” muttered Goku, “I still can’t believe this happened. Was that guy even giving his all, Goshin?” “Hmmmm,” pondered Goshin, “I’d have to say no. I just get the feeling that he’s suppressing his true power, just like we are. And I believe he’s just waiting for the right moment to release it.” The announcer came back over the PA once the EMTs had cleared the floor. “Attention everybody! The next fight will begin in 20 minutes due to the current situation! We ask that everyone please be patient during this time! Thank you!” Pan, Bra, Master Roshi, and Turtle were still sitting in the stands. Bra was angry at what had happened. “How could he?!” she yelled. “He’s only a young man! Why would he take this so seriously?” “I think,” put in Roshi, “that their might be an ulterior motive behind Papaya Man’s plans. But I don’t know what it could be...” “I just hope that Goku is going to be safe,” said Pan. *** 20 minutes later, the fighters and spectators had regrouped and the next match was set to begin. “WOULD GONELL AND THE GREAT SAIYAMAN III PLEASE REPORT TO THE RING AT THIS TIME!” “Good luck, dear,” said Zonza. “Try not to make the same mistakes that I did when I faced this guy.” “Oh you know I’ll win!” she answered back giving the victory sign. Saiyaman had already made his way to the ring and Gonell marched up the walkway into the ring, ready to fight. “All right!” called the announcer. “The third match of the quarter finals is set to begin! Fighters, take your battle poses!” *BOOM* “FIGHT!” Gonell was waiting for her opponent to make the first move, but the storied hero was shaking in his boots. Oh man! he thought I can’t defeat her! She’s too fast! Now I’m going to be embarrassed in front of all my fans here! What am I going to do?! Gonnell grew tired of waiting so she decided she’d bring the fight to Saiyaman. “HYAAH!” she screamed as she sped towards him. “OHH!” gulped Saiyaman, and in a very quick manner he dropped to his knees with Gonell sailing straight over him. “Have mercy on me!” he pleaded. But since his eyes were closed, he didn’t notice that Gonell was above him, heading straight for an early exit. But amazingly, she caught herself and stopped in mid-air before she fell out of the ring. All the announcer could do was stare. “Did I hear you say something about mercy?” questioned the announcer quietly. “Huh?” muttered Saiyaman. He got up, turned around, and saw Gonell still floating there in mid-air with a look of surprise on her face. “Uh-uh, of course not, dear broadcaster!” he yelled. “I was simply stating that, um, I would show mercy on her if she was perspicacious! HAHA!” The crowd cheered loudly at the hero’s fabrication. What an idiot thought Gonell. Then, without warning, she got back into the ring and began charging again towards Saiyaman, almost bowling over the announcer who stood nearby. She started punching at him, but none of her blows were connecting. To everyone’s amazement, the Saiyaman was dodging them all! “How lucky can this guy possibly get?” said Zonza as he looked on. “P-please, don’t hurt me!” stuttered Saiyaman as he kept narrowly dodging the blows. Please, you can beat me if you want just don’t caus me any pain!” “Oh that’s it!” yelled Gonell. And with that, she kicked Saiyaman to the other side of the ring. He hit the ground a few feet away from the edge, and just as he was about to bounce out, his cape caught on the edge of the ring. He picked his feet up high and tucked them under their chest so he wouldn’t touch the ground that was inches beneath him. “Uh-oh!” said the announcer. “This doesn’t look good for Saiyaman! If he doesn’t get up son, Gonell will quickly release him from what ever ha caught his cloak.” Gonell walked calmly over to her opponent. He was trying to climb back in. He was halfway up and was holding onto the edge of the ring trying to pull the rest of his torso up. “Well, it seems your at the end of your line,” smirked Gonell. “All right, I’m sorry for acting like a showboat!” he said. “Just please don’t let me lose like this! If you could, just pull me up, and then pretend to punch me in the stomach. I’ll fake that I’ve been knocked out. Please, can you do me this one favor?” “Hmmm,” thought Gonell. *SIGH* “Fine, grab on.” She stretched out her arm and Saiyaman grabbed on. “Thank you so much,” he said. “I really- WHOA!” All of a sudden, Saiyaman’s left foot slipped on the outside of the ring, and this caused him to fall backwards. Gonell wasn’t expecting this and she was drawn head over heals over the edge and Saiyaman miraculously rolled back into the ring. *THUD* “The crowd became more quiet as they looked in shock. The announcer peeked over the edge, and saw Gonell lying their with a look of utter disbelief on her face. “AMAZING!” bellowed the announcer. “Gonell has fallen out of the ring, after Saiyaman employed a stealthy throwing technique to rid himself of his opponent! He has moved on to the semis!” The crowd went ecstatic, but the look on Saiyaman’s face said it all. Wow he thought I guess I really am lucky! Meanwhile, Zonza rushed to his wife’s aide. “Are you alright?” he asked. “I think,” she said, a little dizzily, “that I need to lie down. I can’t believe, what I just saw.” And with that, Zonza and Gonell walked back to the waiting area. “Well, good tr mom,” said Goku once she entered the waiting area. “Not much you can do about pure luck I guess.” “Well, his luck will run out if he has to face me,” said Goshin. “There’s bigger fish to fry, namely Papaya Man.” Everyone looked over at the corner where the masked fighter was standing. He had his head down and arms crossed, seemingly in deep meditation. “Goku,” said Goshin, “I’m ending this match instantly. I want you to fight Papaya man as soon as possible.” “Why though?” he asked. “Because, I don’t want him o see any more of my techniques. In case you lose to him, I will be the only opponent left to stand in his way. He saw what I was capable of when I fought Jensai. I don’t want everything to be revealed to him. Our best plan of attack against him, might be surprise.” He then walked past Goku and headed towards the ring for his next match. Soon, both fighters were in the ring and the fight was about to begin. “Our next fight,” boomed the announcer, “is the last match in the quarter finals! Goshin vs. Joe Boxer! Fighters, enter your battle stances!” Goshin was assumed his position. Joe Boxer, as typical for most pro boxers, began hopping up and down on his feet, his fists close to his face. *BOOM* “FIGHT-!” “AHHHH!” *BWOK* In less than a second, one fighter was standing in the ring, another had fallen out. The crowd, not able to understand what had just happened, started booing. “BOOO! WE WANT A FIGHT!” The announcer just stood there and looked right at Goshin, who was just standing in the ring, with his hand still outstretched, and his hand tightened into a fist. “You gonna say something?” asked Goshin. “He’s clearly out of the ring.” The announcer jumped out of the ring and ran towards Joe Boxer, while still conscious, was utterly dazed and confused. “Out of the ring, Goshin moves on once again!” The crowd buzzed with dissatisfaction. They had not seen anything that Goshin had done. “Is it just me,” muttered Pan, “or did I just see that boxer guy magically teleport to the ground?” “It’s just you,” said Master Roshi bluntly. “Your eyes aren’t as good as they used to be, Pan. Your grandson charged at that man the moment the announcer said fight, and gave him a one-two punch into the gut. I almost didn’t see it myself. Such speed, and to think I thought Goku was fast at his age!” Goshin walked back into the waiting area, his family waiting to hear for him. “Goshin! That was awesome!”congratulated Goku. “You took him out in less than a second!” “I told you I’d end this quickly,” said Goshin. “But now you have to fight. Win Goku. Don’t let this person get the best of you.” “Do be careful,” said Gonell. “You’re father and I will be cheering you on.” Then Papaya Man came up behind them out of nowhere. “I believe the time has come where we’ll finally meet in the ring,” he said jovially. “The best of luck to you.” And he reached out his hand towards Goku. He looked up at him, and finally conceded and grasped his hand. “The same to you. May the best man win!” And with that, they walked up the stairs into the ring. “Ladies and gentlemen!” screamed the announcer. “I present to you the first match of the semifinals! Whoever wins this gets a chance to prove themselves in the championship round! It’s the young Goku Jr. vs our champ Papaya Man! This will be a match to remember! Fighters, enter your battle poses!” The two did so and waited for the gong to sound. *BOOOM* “FIGHT!”
The semifinals have finally begun! Although another Saiyan has been narrowly beaten by the clumsy Great Saiyaman III, Papaya Man is now on the minds of the remaining fighters. Can Goku defeat this mysterious combatant? Find out, next time on DragonBall AF!

Last time on DragonBall AF, the last match of the first round took place. Goshin narrowly defeated Jensai, but now, the first match of the quarterfinals begins.
“WOULD GOKU JR. AND THE SLAYER PLEASE REPORT TO THE RING!” “Better win Goku,” said Vegeta, “I really want to fight you!” “Heh I know I will,” said Goku, “you just better make sure you win!” Just then, the Slayer walked quickly in font of him. He looked very menacing. He was practically 8 feet tall and had yellow eyes. His black hair was slicked back and he had a sneer on his face. “Just remember you have to get by me,” he said coarsely. Goku just looked at him as the Slayer didn’t turn back and continued on to the ring. We’ll see about that thought Goku. But now, both fighters were in the ring, and the match was ready to begin. “All right ladies and gentlemen!” yelled the announcer. “The first match of the quarter finals is Goku Jr, who defeated Ken Shinhan in a the first match. And his opponent will be the Slayer, who defeated Narg in the second match with a crushing blow to the head! Fighters take your battle poses!” *BOOM* “FIGHT!” Goku and the Slayer stared each other down. There was about a four foot height difference between them, but Goku wasn’t afraid. Suddenly, Slayer bolted to the left side and Goku saw easily where he was heading. This guy’s not fast. he thought. I sense no ki coming from him. Him and that Narg guy must just be regular fighters. Goku moved directly in front of his competitor and every time he moved, he moved directly in front of him. The Slayer was becoming anxious. “How can a punk kid like you be moving so fast? Stay still so I can stop and hit you!” “Sorry about this,” said Goku as he clubbed his fist into his jaw and sent the Slayer immediately down to the ground. Soon the announcer noticed he wasn’t moving. “He’s out cold!” he replied. “Goku has won again!” The crowd went crazy as Goku held up his fists in triumph. But before he could meet with his family, Papaya Man was waiting for him on the walkway to the entrance. “That was a great match Goku,” he said, “but I’m afraid you won’t be able to fight Vegeta in the semis. Hopefully I’ll see more spectacular fighting from you.” Then Papaya Man walked away from Goku and into the ring. Goku turned around and yelled to Papaya Man. “What are you talking about! HEY!” But the champ paid no attention, so Goku walked into the waiting area. “What’d that guy just say to you?” questioned Vegeta. “It was weird,” Goku said solemnly. “He said that I wouldn’t be facing you in the semis.” “What!” exclaimed Vegeta. “That guy doesn’t know what he’s talkin about. I’m gonna floor him.” “This will be a most interesting match,” said Goshin.
“Fighters get ready!” yelled the announcer. Papaya Man bowed his had towards Vegeta. “The best of luck,” he said. “Just fight,” quipped Vegeta. Papaya Man chuckled to himself. “FIGHT!” Instantly, Vegeta disappeared into thin air, and Papaya Man quickly followed. Soon, all that could be seen to the untrained eye were two blurs as if they were moving at the speed of light. In reality, Vegeta was moving across the entire stadium floor while Papaya Man was trying to keep up. Then, Vegeta turned around without warning and let off a small ki blast. “HYAH!” Papaya Man quickly deflected it, and in that second that Vegeta was left unguarded, he was able to punch Vegeta directly in the gut, sending him falling towards the ground. The crowd’s roar was reaching a deafening boom as the fight started to get good. “OO!” exclaimed the announcer. “It seems Vegeta has been hit, but we can’t be sure! These fighters are moving at unimaginable speeds!” Papaya Man touched down as Vegeta was already starting to get up. “You bastard!” said Vegeta. “I’m NOT losing! Goku’s mine! I’ve trained too long to lose to someone dressed up in a Halloween costume from Value City!” He charged at Papaya Man and started giving him a flurry of punches. But the champ was blocking every single one of them. Vegeta grew irritated and started rising into the air, now kicking him as well as punching him. But Papaya Man was still matching him blow for blow as they rose higher and higher into the air duking it out. “AHHH!” screamed Vegeta and he powered up with his white aura all around him, but still he couldn’t land a punch on Papaya Man. Now Vegeta was starting to grow tired and he was slowing down. Papaya Man took this opportunity and got in four blows into Vegeta’s stomach and swiftly kicked him in the head sending him towards the ground. But Vegeta wouldn’t stay down long. He stopped himself before hitting and quickly shot back up. “FINAL SHINE!” A look of surprise came over Papaya Man’s face as the immense blast rose up towards him. Papaya Man covered himself with his arms but the wave engulfed him and everyone in the arena was blinded. “GOODNESS!” screamed the announcer. “In an amazing twist, Vegeta has released something from his hands and it seems to have wiped out our champ! Wait! In the clearing smoke I think I- yes it’s him! Papaya Man is alive, without a scratch!” The crowd cheered for joy as what the announcer said was true. His costume was partially torn, but he was left uninjured. “Well,” said Papaya Man, “you are capable of great power. If we weren’t confined to this arena I’m sure you wouldn’t be holding back as much. But then again, I’ve been holding back too.” “You’re just bluffing!” yelled Vegeta “I guess you’ll have to learn the hard way, young Vegeta,” said the champ. And with that, a pink light began to emanate around his pointer finger, and he aimed it directly at Vegeta. “OH CRAP!” yelled Vegeta as he sensed the amount power in the beam. Quickly, Papaya Man shot it and Vegeta could not move in time as it pierced through his arm. “AHHHHH!” hollered Vegeta in agony. “Hey!” yelled Celery from the stands. “You can’t do that to my son! I’ll show you!” Zonza had to hold her back as Roshi, Bra, and Pan looked on. “Stop it Celery!” said Zonza. “He can’t hear you! We just have to hope Vegeta can pull through.” “That may be hard,” said Master Roshi. “That Papaya Man has a very strong ki, and a familiar one at that. The boys must have felt it already but I don’t know if they can stand up to it!” “You’ve got to be kidding!” answered Celery as she looked back down at the ring. Vegeta was kneeling on the ground, holding his arm in obvious pain. Blood was flowing from the open wound down his left arm. Papaya Man still was floating in the air, waiting. The announcer ran to Vegeta. “Hey, are you all right kid? You can call the match whenever you want to,” he said. “Grrrrr,” growled Vegeta, “I’m not giving up!” And with that he shot back into the air, knocking the announcer to the ground with the force of his lift-off. The only thing was, was that he had flown pas Papaya Man and kept ascending into the air, so far up that all anybody could see were just two tiny dots and couldn’t make out any details. Papaya Man quickly met him face to face again. “For my friends’ sake,” said Vegeta, “I said I wouldn’t let anybody see me go Super Saiyan. But now since no one can see me..” He instantly turned into a Super Saiyan and smirked. “Now what?” “I think you need lessons still in knowing your opponent,” he replied. Promptly, Papaya Man disappeared and appeared again right behind Vegeta and roostered his fist, ready to punch him. Just as he was about to strike, Vegeta disappeared as well. Immediately he reappeared behind Papaya Man to punch him, but then Papaya Man disappeared too and Vegeta punched only an after image. This went on for half a minute before Vegeta finally connected with the back of Papaya Man’s helmet. His helmet broke into pieces and he looked straight at Vegeta, whose face was now in shock. “Wait!” he exclaimed. “I’ve seen that face, in a photo before! But how can you still look the same after all this time?! I know who you are! You’re- UFF! HACK!” Before Vegeta could finish his sentence, Papaya Man knocked the wind out of him and he changed back into a regular Saiyan. “Sorry,” he said, “you weren’t supposed to find out my identity just yet, and I can’t have you telling the others either.” Vegeta just floated there with his hands over his stomach, unable to speak, blood dripping from his lips. “This might keep you off your feet for a while, but it’s for your own good. Please, forgive me.” Then to Vegeta’s horror, who couldn’t even find the strength to move, Papaya Man raised his clenched hands into the air and struck Vegeta in the skull, sending him to the awaiting ground outside the ring. *BOOOM!* The impact shook the entire ground and left a crater 2x Vegeta’s size. He had been knocked unconscious, and laid there. The announcer ran to him and saw that this was true. “Vegeta is out of the ring! Papaya Man has won! But where is he?” Just then, Papaya Man was floating back towards the earth, with a new mask on that he had just materialized. Then, the crowd went ecstatic. But the paramedics soon rushed out to check on Vegeta. “Vegeta!” yelled Celery, and she ran down the stairs and jumped onto the grass towards her son. “He seems to have blunt trauma to the skull. We have to get him to the hospital ASAP,” said the EMT. Goku and the rest of the Saiyans ran towards Vegeta and heard the news as well. “d*mn it!” said Goku. “If I only had some Senzu! How could this guy do this!” “I don’t know Goku,” said Goshin, “but you’re facing him in your next match.”
Papaya Man looked on from afar. I’m sorry Vegeta he thought. I’m sure you’ll be OK, a blow like that isn’t enough to kill you. I just hope you find the heart to forgive me later. And with that he walked slowly back to the waiting area.
In a horrible twist of events, Vegeta now has to be rushed to the hospital! But who is Papaya Man? Find out soon in DragonBall AF!

Last time on DragonBall AF, Zonza lost in an embarrassing match to the Great Saiyaman III. Now, Goshin is pitted up against the psychic, Jensai, in the 8th and final match of the first round. But, being the psychic that she is, Goshin’s mind-reading ability won’t work on her. Could this affect the way the match is played out?
*BOOM* The gong sounded and Jensai quickly made the first move and was heading in Goshin’s direction. Goshin quickly maneuvered out of the way and he turned around to face Jensai once again. Are you capable of telepathy as well? questioned Goshin. Of course I am! replied Jensai. Again, I am a psychic. But how are you capable of this? I sense the blood of a warrior running through your veins. Even warriors are not versed in such a feat. Well it seems you’ve finally met one. answered Goshin. As their telepathic conversation was going on, the crowd began to get restless. “BOOOOOO! WE WANT A FIGHT! WE WANT A FIGHT!” “Um, excuse me,” called the announcer in a soft voice, “would you two like to continue the match now?” There’s my cue thought Goshin, and he quickly went out of site. Jensai began looking all around, not sure where Goshin had vanished too. But then, she closed here eyes and began to concentrate. Goshin was running around the ring at top speed, so fast no one could see him, but he could plainly see what Jensai was doing. Soon enough, he stopped running and came at Jensai with a left hook. Right before he made contact, she opened her eyes and looked right at him and raised her hand. But she was too slow, and Goshin made a direct hit in her cheekbone, sending her flying in the opposite direction. Goshin gave her time to get up and recover. Upon getting up, the look in Jensai’s eyes had turned into malevolent anger as she wiped the blood trickling down her chin. How could you?! she said telepathically. I just barely knew where you were coming from, barely enough time to open my eyes! That’s because I acted on impulse responded Goshin. Even the trained psychic can not read the mind of a man working on impulse alone. “And it seems our fighters have come to a second stalemate!” yelled the announcer, a bit irritated. “Hmmmmmm, I wonder what they could be saying to each other,” Master Roshi said to himself. “What are you blabbering about?” asked Pan. “you can plainly see their lips aren’t moving.” “No, you don’t understand,” replied Roshi. “Just look at their faces. They are speaking to each other through their minds, ordinary people just don’t glare at each other with that much intensity. I have a feeling the true nature of this Jensai is about to be revealed...” I hoped to use this in the later rounds, but I’ll have to change plans now. You’re too strong, too fast. affirmed Jensai. You may want to forfeit the match now, so don’t say I didn’t warn you! Jensai began rising into the air, Goshin entered his defensive position. Jensai moved her arms in front of her and folded them and began mouthing a strange, foreign chant. “Oku ba nah yata abi. Oku ba daopoka jen abi usue...” Goshin, usually being patient, began to get a bit testy. “Enough of this gibberish,” he muttered, and he started to leap into the air, but he soon found out he wasn’t moving. “What the-” He started moving his torso, but after a few seconds he couldn’t move either. “OH!” exclaimed the announcer. “It seems that somehow Goshin has lost the ability to move! Could this be from Jensai’s strange talking?” “Of course!” yelled Goshin. He looked up and sure enough, Jensai was still continuing with her chant. “I have to hurry and hit her with a ki blast before I’m unable to do that too!” He started gathering his ki in the palm of his hand, and within 5 seconds, he had a glowing orb of energy in his hand ready for launch. But unfortunately, the paralysis had extended to his arms and with the rest of his available strength, he released the ki blast. But it only went a few yards before it exploded in the air without touching a thing. “d*mn...it!” Now, his entire body had become paralyzed, and Jensai’s chant had stopped. She looked at Goshin and started to laugh at her competitor, frozen below. “HAHAHAHA! How do you feel now, Goshin? I’ll make you feel so much pain, for you were the first man who ever struck me hard enough to bleed. You will pay for that! AHHHHHH!” Suddenly, she released an enormous ki blast which stemmed from both of her opened palms and made a direct hit on him. “No! Goshin!” yelled Gonell. All the rest of the Saiyans looked on in horror, waiting for the dust to clear. Once it did, Goshin was face down on the ground, his clothes torn, cuts and bruises covering his body. Jensai descended and picked up Goshin by what was left of the font of his shirt. “You didn’t think such a beautiful lady like me could cause so much pain, did you?!” she questioned as she punched Goshin in the gut, forcing blood to come from his throat. But the worst part was that Goshin couldn’t even cry out in pain. All he could do was make a soft guttural groan in the back of his throat. You are a worthless piece of trash! Goshin said telepathically. You don’t belong here, you should be using your psychic skills elsewhere. “You’re wrong, this is the perfect place to use them!” Jensai answered, still grasping Goshin by the shirt. “If I do this throughout all the matches, I’ll be able to defeat anyone. I’ll win over a millions of zeni! I’ll be famous! This is what’s important to me, fame and fortune!” Then, I must say, replied Goshin, that you, are a pretty d*mn horrible excuse for a true psychic!! Jensai’s eyes began to burn with anger once again and she started punching and kicking Goshin rapidly all over his body. She may not have been strong, but since Goshin was absolutely defenseless, she targeted all of Goshin’s weak area’s, therefore crippling him. “Ooooooo, this does not look good for Goshin!” boomed the announcer. Finally, after a minute of pummeling, Jensai dropped Goshin to the ground. “I’ve had my fun, hopefully this will scare all the other competitors and I’ll win without a hitch!” laughed Jensai. “And by the way, don’t even bother struggling to break free now that I’ve stopped. You should still be paralyzed for about 24 more hours. Sorry, but that’s the way it goes.” No, this can’t be. If I could only tap into it... thought Goshin, the pain even still evident within his thoughts. “I’m sure,” replied Jensai. “You can begin the count now.” “Uh, right,” replied the announcer. “1... 2...” Now, Goshin didn’t even care if Jensai could read his thoughts anymore. I have to, be strong, I know, I can do this. I am... a Saiyan! His heart began to beat faster. Jensai looked down at him. “...3... 4...” Goshin’s breathing became heavier and heavier. His muscles began to twitch and increase in size. His hair started to sway as if it was in the wind, but there was not a single gust of air going through the stadium. “5...6...7...” His ki began to raise, and Jensai was starting to panic. “What is going on?” she said aloud. She started backing away from the body as a bright yellow aura began to surround Goshin. “Oh no!” exclaimed Gonell. “Is he-” Almost there! thought Goshin Come on, let me break free, let me break free!!!” “8...9...” Goshin’s hair turned bright yellow, his eyes went green, he was a Super Saiyan, and no longer paralyzed, he stood up. “GO TO HELL, YOU B!TCH!!!!” Before Jensai had any time to react or read Goshin’s thoughts, Goshin’s fist hammered Jensai’s face and sent her cruising into the wall behind her with a loud *THUD* The crowd went silent, all the announcer could do was stare. Goshin quickly powered down and signaled the announcer. “AHEM!” “Um, right! Uh, Jensai has ben knocked from the ring! Goshin has won!” The crowd was still silent over the magnificent comeback Goshin had made. Goshin walked down the steps and over to Jensai and looked upon her unconscious body. “I have no remorse for what I have done to you. You were overwhelmed by greed and vanity, you play in a league not of your own. You discarded the lifestyles every psychic abides by for your childish desires. I purposely cracked your nose and shattered part of the structure of your face. You will never attain your meaningless goals now. Hopefully you’ll realize what you’ve done is wrong, and go back to living the solitude life of a true psychic.” Goshin turned away and let the medics tend to the wounded psychic’s wounds. Gonell had started running towards Goshin, followed by the other Saiyans, and embraced him. “My God, are you all right?” “Yes, mother, just a bit bruised,” answered Goshin. “Goshin,” questioned Goku, “how could a women like her be stronger than you?” “She wasn’t,” he replied. “Anyone can be beaten if they’re taken advantage of, I’ve learned that lesson before. It can happen to any of us.” “Point taken,” answered Zonza sarcastically. “But hey, you’re match is next Goku,” remarked Goshin. “Do your best, and no matter who you’re opponent is, don’t let them get the best of you.” “You got it!” replied Goku.
After a match which was supposed to have been easily won, Goshin has walked away with many cuts and bruises to show for what he went through. Now, Goku must face the Slayer in the first match of the quarter finals. How will he fare? Find out next time, on DragonBall AF!

Last time on DragonBall AF, the 4th and 5th matches were completed after Vegeta Bengal and Gonell defeated Hajime Yukimora. Now with the 6th match, Zonza is about to face the Great Saiyaman III. This seems to be an easy mach for Zonza, and Goshin’s first fight is right around the corner as well.
“WOULD THE GREAT SAIYAMAN III AND ZONZA PLEASE REPORT TO THE RING AT THIS TIME! THANK YOU!” “Make way everybody!” said a loud, overbearing voice. Everyone turned and their stare met the Great Saiyaman. He had on a green suit, much like the original Saiyaman, but his headpiece was different. He wore thin, black sunglasses and his helmet looked like something from out of an old war flick. “Heh-heh,” snickered Gonell. “What is so funny noble pedestrian?” questioned Saiyaman. “Do you find something about me that causes you to guffaw?” “HAHAHA! Pedestrian? Guffaw?” laughed Gonell. “Oh brother, you aren’t anything like the original, are you?” “Oh, you shall see!” declared Saiyaman, as he entered one of his famous poses. “I will defeat my opponent in the name of justice, in the name of all law-abiding citizens, for I am the Great Saiyaman... III!” “Yea, well that’s me,” replied Zonza, rolling his eyes. “Let’s go, I’m ready.” The two fighters walked out into the center of the ring where the announcer was waiting for them. “Ladies and gentlemen! The fighters for the 6th match in today’s tournament!” The crowd was ecstatic and cheering loudly, wanting to see another great fight. “To my right, we have Zonza. This is the first time he’s ever qualified for a tournament, but don’t count him out! Even if his opponent is our protector... the Great Saiyaman!” “...Three!” added Saiyaman. “Haha, yes of course,” chuckled the announcer. “This is Saiyaman’s second competition after making it to the semis last year. How will far will he get this year? Well, we’re about to find out! Fighters, take your battle poses!” “Good luck,” said Zonza. “HA-HA! Foolish civilian! I am in no need of luck o take down the likes of you!” Ha! This guy doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into! thought Zonza. *BOOOOOOOOM* “Fight!!” The match had started. And almost immediately, Saiyaman made the first move. “JUSTICE PUNCH!” he swung his fist and made a direct hit on Zonza’s face. “OOOOOOOOOOH!” called the announcer. “It seems that Zonza didn’t even have time to get out of the way! Could he still be conscious after such a magnificent punch?” “Ho-ho!” chortled Saiyaman. “What now?” As he looked at Zonza who was still standing. Suddenly, Zonza grabbed hold of his opponent’s arm. “Oh!” he whimpered. “I’m not sure yet,” as Zonza looked up. “But I’m thinking somewhere along the lines of this!!” He took hold of Saiyaman’s neck, flew up into the air and floated their for a few seconds. “Oh no!” wailed the announcer. “This doesn’t look good for Saiyaman! It looks like Zonza is going to drop him!” “Heh, see ya!” said remarked Zonza. And with that, he dropped Saiyaman from the sky. “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!” he yelled as he fell. On his descent, he somehow managed to flip over and was coming down headfirst into the ring. *BWOK* “OOOOOOOOOOO!” came the collective groaning from the crowd. Saiyaman now lay on the ground, and it looked like Zonza had it in the bag. “Oh man,” said Zonza once he touched back down, “I hope I didn’t seriously hurt the guy or anything.” “I’ll begin the ten count!” yelled the announcer. “1....2....3...” “WHOOO!” yelled Pan from the stands. “Way to go Zonza! You show that faker who’s boss!” “Hey old hag!” shouted some big guy from behind her, “you better watch what you say about the Great Saiyaman... III!” “Hey, listen you-“ started Rupan “Be quiet you,” muttered Roshi, “this guy doesn’t know what he’s in for, heh-heh.” “Huh?” questioned Rupan. Pan finally turned around and looked at the man. “For your information, this old hag is the daughter of the original Great Saiyaman and his wife! So do you know what that means?” “Heh, how do I know you’re telling the truth?” snickered the man. “Like this!” yelled Pan, and she socked him right in the nose. “AIEEEEEEE! Wha-wha-what are you?! I’m out of here!” “Heh-heh-heh!” laughed Master Roshi. “What’d I tell ya my boy, Pan can always handle herself, even if she is an old bag! ACK! Oops!” “What was that?” Pan grumbled through her teeth. “Nothing, nothing. I just said that-that, uh, that guy was a fag! Heh-heh! Hey, look down their at the match, the count’s almost done!” “...9.... and te-” Suddenly, Saiyaman began to get up and he was supporting himself ion one knee. “What?!” exclaimed Zonza in disbelief. “Well,” said Saiyaman groggily. “You thought that you, could defeat me, the Great Saiyaman... III?!” “Yes, I do. All that saved you was that dinky helmet you have on your head. Why don’t you come at me again and see what happens this time.” “Of course, for I am brave, a protector of the people! And you are going down! HA-HA!” Once again, he came straight for Zonza. Right before Siyaman could grab him, Zonza leapt into the air high above him. Saiyaman looked up in horror as Zonza began his descent with his foot targeting him. Just as Zonza was about to connect, Saiyaman cowered in fair and turned around. “Please don’t kill me!” he whined. Fortunately for him, moving at the last second caused Zonza to not have enough time to move his kick and his foot landed full-force into the ring. “d*mn IT!” he yelled in disgust. “Saiyaman turned around. “I-I’m still alive?” The announcer looked at him with a weird face, shocked to hear that the Saiyaman said such a thing. “Uh, I mean, of course I’m alive!” Saiyaman announced, regaining his composure. “I was, uh, to quick for you! Now you will be finished with my signature move, the Justice Kick!!” d*mn it! thought Zonza to himself. My foots stuck into the ground! I can’t get it out! If I use a ki blast, I’ll blow my foot off with my luck! d*mn, I can’t lose to this quack! “Justice Kick!” yelled Saiyaman as he was coming straight for Zonza. “Get out of the way!” yelled Gonell. “Oh crap,” mumbled Zonza. *DOK* The kick connected and Zonza went flying into the stands. “Out of the ring! The Great Saiyaman III wins!” The crowd went wild, all happy that their hero had finally won. Just as this happened, Goku and Vegeta came walking in. “So what happened, did dad win?” asked Goku, in between bites of the turkey leg he had. “Look for yourself,” muttered Goshin. Saiyaman was standing in the middle of the ring revving up he fans while Zonza was walking sulkily back to the waiting area. “Dad?! What happened?” asked Goku. “I really don’t want to talk about it. I’m hittin’ the showers.” And Zonza walked slowly into the back. “Goku, let’s just say he lost in a most... interesting way,” giggled Gonell. ****
About 10 minutes later, the 7th match had ended and it was almost time for Goshin’s match to begin in the final match of the round. “Well, here goes nothing,” said Goshin. “it seems I’m fighting the psychic first.” “Well, good luck, “ said Goku. “Hey, if we keep winning, we’ll be able to fight each other in the finals!” “Yea. I’d look forward to that,” smiled Goshin for the first time in a while. He began walking towards the ring, his opponent already there waiting for him. She was young, no older than 30. She had dark, red hair and piercing blue eyes. She was of average height, not much shorter than Goshin and she looked very serene as she waited for the match to begin. “And now, this rounds final match!” bellowed the announcer. “To my right we have Jensai, the psychic from the south. Even if she is a psychic, she still is very knowledgeable in the martial arts. And to my left, we have Goshin, who is also the brother of Goku Jr. This is his first world tournament ever and he’s looking to make a statement for himself today. Now, fighters, enter your battle poses!” Jensai finally looked up at Goshin and the look on her face signaled that she meant business. Hmmmm, I wonder what she’s thinking thought Goshin as he began to read her mind. Odd, I’m not getting anything. I sense her ki, she can’t be anything artificial. And she can’t be powerful enough to conceal her own thoughts, and I don’t sense a fusion or anything of the like either. Wait, could it be...” “It’s because I’m a psychic!” yelled Jensai, unexpectedly. “FIGHT!” And with that, Jensai came right for Goshin. “This is going to be more captivating than I thought,” he muttered.
In an unexpected twist of events, Jensai being a psychic is able to conceal her thoughts from Goshin. Will Goshin still be able to triumph? Find out on the next episode of DragonBall AF!

Last time on DragonBall AF, Goku defeated Ken Shinhan in the first match of the tournament. Later on, Papaya Man fought against Nick the Quick, and easily disposed of him. Our heroes can see the immense strength that the champ holds, so one question is being asked. Can he be beaten?!
Papaya Man walked right past everyone with his head down and eyes closed. Everyone in the waiting area could only gaze on. “That speed, I can hardly fathom it!” said Goshin. “Heh, I guess you saw a lot more than me,” chuckled Zonza. “I saw absolutely nothing, my eyes aren’t as trained as you Saiyans.” “Vegeta,” said Goku, “if you win this match, you’ll be fighting Papaya Man in the quarter finals! Do you think you can do it?” “Of course!” exclaimed Vegeta. “I’ll just go Super Saiyan and whoop his ass.” “Hey, remember what we said earlier?” interrupted Gonell. “We aren’t going Super Saiyan. We don’t need all this publicity of being called freaks and such.” “Yea, whatever,” grumbled Vegeta. “WOULD THE NEXT TWO CONTESTANTS, VEGETA JR. AND BENGAL PLEASE STEP INTO THE RING AT THIS TIME! THANK YOU!” “There’s my call,” said Vegeta. And then he added with a sly smile, “and no need to wish me luck, this one’s in the bag!” Goshin just shook his head while Goku smiled and laughed. Vegeta began walking towards the ring, Bengal following behind him. He picked up his pace a little bit so he was even with Vegeta. “Hey kid,” he said, “I’m willin to go easy on you, for a price. I know you must be scared to fight someone of my calabur. So maybe if you give me a few thousand zeni, I’ll end the match quick and make sure you feel hardly any pain.” Vegeta stopped right before the steps. “Are you bribing me?” “SHHHHH! Not so loud!” panicked Bengal. “Excuse me,” said the announcer, “would you two please step into the ring now?” The two fighters did so, but not before Vegeta made one last remark to his opponent before going to his corner. “I’m gonna kick your striped ass even harder now for your ignorance. HAHAHA!” Bengal was furious. “GRRRRRRRR! I’ll show you kid!” he roared. “Ladies and gentlemen, our fighters, Vegeta Jr and Bengal! Vegeta Jr. was the winner of the children’s division 3 years ago and this is his first time at the actual tournament. This is also the first time for his challenger, Bengal. This will be sure to be an excellent fight! Now, fighter’s take your battle poses!” heralded the announcer. DUM...DUM...DUM...DUM..DUM.DUM-DUM-DUM-DUM-DUM-DUM The drum roll began. “Fight!” *BOOOOOM* The gong sounded and the fight had commenced. “Dead meat!!” bellowed Bengal and he began running right for Vegeta. He had his arms crossed and his eyes closed, looking quite sure of himself. Just as Bengal was about to lunge at him, he disappeared. Bengal began looking all around for him. “Where’d that punk go?” Just then Vegeta appeared in front of him. “HYAAAH!” yelled Bengal and he made a direct hit on Vegeta, or so he thought. Vegeta had left an after image and the punch Bengal threw dissolved it. “Amazing!” clamored the announcer. “Vegeta has disappeared into thin air for the second time. Either he’s moving super fast or he can magically turn invisible!” Bengal was still looking all round for Vegeta. Then he appeared out of thin air gain, standing right in front of his opponent. “Come on,” he gestured with his finger, “aren’t you going to attack me? Heh-heh!” “GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! ENOUGH!” hollered Bengal. He charged Vegeta once again, but Vegeta proceeded to vanish. Then, Vegeta kept reappearing and disappearing right in front of Bengal, over and over again. “Hm,” said Goshin, “I suppose I didn’t give Vegeta enough credit. His speed has improved. I wonder if he has surpassed the level of a Super Saiyan...” This cat and mouse game, or more bluntly, cat and Saiyan game, went on for about a minute more until Bengal bent down and started huffing and puffing. Vegeta stood and laughed at Bengal. “HAHAHAHA! Am I too fast for you? Well, let’s see if I’m too strong for you as well!” Then Vegeta picked up a loose floor tile and pulverized it with his hands, trying to make a point to his competitor. Bengal looked up and a look of terror came over his face. “Oh no, not now!” Bengal turned around and started to try and run away from Vegeta. “I surrender! I surr-” But Vegeta paid no attention, and did exactly what he had planned to do from the start. He took his leg, pulled it back, and kicked Bengal square in the rear. “OWWWWWWW!” cried Bengal as he went soaring into the air. After thirty seconds of everyone looking up into the sky, Vegeta began to walk back towards the waiting area. But as soon as he turned, Bengal’s distant cry was heard and he landed with a loud THUD outside the ring. “Bengal has fallen outside of the ring! Vegeta Jr. is the winner!” “YEAAAAAAAAAAAA!” roared the crowd. Goku was doubled over in laughter after what he just saw. “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh man Vegeta! HAHA! You literally kicked that guy’s butt! HAHAHAHA!” “What’d I tell you?” smirked Vegeta. “That guy was a weakling.” “Well hopefully you won’t think the same about your next opponent,” chimed in Goshin. Vegeta glared at him. “Hey, you mind your own business. I’ll fight my own fights. Anyway, I’ll be back in a bit. Fighting’s worked me up an appetite!” “Hey, I’ll join you!” replied Goku. “Hey, hold on young man!” said Gonell. “I watched you fight, now the least you could do is watch mine.” “Yea, you’re right,” answered Goku. “Sorry mom. But hey, Vegeta. I’ll come join you after this fight. I’m sure my mom will kick major tail!” “Heh, all right,” said Vegeta. A few moments later, the announcement for Gonell and Yukimora came over the PA and the two competitors went to enter the ring. “Our next two fighters, Gonell and Hajime Yukimora!” declared the announcer to the applause of the thousands of fans. Yukimora entered the ring first. He as a slender man, not to short, not to tall. He was very well toned and looked like he meant business. “Both of these fighters are by no means rookies. Gonell entered the World Tournament a number of years ago making it to the semis, and she’s finally back for more. As for Hajime Yukimora, this is his 3rd tournament. He took second place 2 years ago and is looking for a championship belt this time. Now, fighters enter your battle poses!” “The best of luck to you,” said Yukimora, bowing his head. “And to you as well,” said Gonell in return. *BOOOOOOM* “Fight!” The two combatants squared off against each other, both waiting for their opponent to make the first strike. Finally, Yukimora made the first move. He started running to his right and Gonell did the same and followed him. Once they reached the edge of the ring, Yukimora jumped into the air with his foot outstretched ready to kick Gonell. But instead of moving she stood her ground and put her arms in front of her face to block the kick. Yukimora’s foot connected and sure enough, Gonell blocked it. She pushed Yukimora off and once again were standing off against each other. Wow thought Gonell, this is really getting the adrenaline rushing! It’s been so long since I’ve actually fought! I just have to watch my strength and not knock him out of the ring to early. I want to see what this guy has! This time, Gonell rushed at her opponent first and began giving him a barrage of punches. Amazingly, Yukimora was blocking every one. “This is intense!” yelled the announcer. “Hajime Yukimora is known for his high endurance! But Gonell is coming faster and faster! How long can he hold up?!” Gonell began punching even faster, but she was holding back almost all of her strength so that she didn’t knock him out yet. Now it was getting harder for Yukimora to block, and Gonell was pushing him towards the end of the ring. I’ve got to do something quick! thought Yukimora. Just as it seemed he would fall off the edge, he firmly planted his feet, jumped up high, and did a flip over Gonell. She was stunned that he had been able to do such a thing. Then all of a sudden, Yukimora kicked Gonell, but before it could connect, Gonell turned her body so that Yukimora’s outstretched leg was directly in front of her stomach. She grabbed it, and started whirling him around. “I think it’s time to end this!” she yelled and with that, she flung Yukimora outside of the ring onto the ground. “Out of the ring! Gonell is the winner!” The crowd thundered with acclaim as Gonell waved to her fans and walked back to the waiting area. “All right mom!” yelled Goku triumphantly. “Way to go!” congratulated Zonza. “Thanks guys!” replied Gonell. “He was pretty strong, but not so much compared to a Saiyan!” “Yea, you’re right!” said Goku. ‘Well I’m gonna get something to eat. I’ll be back soon. By the way, who fights next?” “Me and that Great Saiyaman joke,” answered Zonza. “Oh,” said Goku glumly. “No, it’s all right Goku,” he said, “you can go eat. Honestly, there’s no way I can lose, right Goshin?” “I’d have to say you’re right,” answered Goshin. “I’m not sure this man could even defeat a gnat from what I sense.” “Hahaha!” laughed Goku. “All right, dad! Don’t go too hard on him.”
As the tournament goes on, all of our heroes so far have won their first matches. How will Zonza and Goshin fare against their opponents? Find out next time, on DragonBall AF!

Last time on DragonBall AF, the World Martial Arts Tournament is finally underway. The matches are set and the first one is Goku vs. Ken Shinhan. Who is this person Goku is fighting? What strength could he hold? Find out today!
“WOULD THE FIGHTERS FOR MATCH ONE REPORT TO THE RING!” Goku took heed of the booming PA and began walking towards the ring. “Good luck Goku!” called his mother. “Knock him out!” encouraged his dad. “Don’t lose,” snickered Vegeta, “I have to beat you first!” “Don’t worry,” Goku smiled, “I got it all under control.” He walked out of the waiting area into the bright afternoon sunshine. A cool breeze was in the air and Goku was getting pumped for his fight. His opponent was walking slowly behind him as they entered the ring. There waiting for them was the tournament announcer. “Ladies and gentleman! I present to you our first two competitors in this year’s Strongest Under the Heavens Tournament!” The crowd was ecstatic, totally hyped up for the fights there were about to see. Goku and Ken had taken their positions and were waiting for the intros to get done. “To my left, we have Goku Jr. who is in his first adult tournament after placing second in the children’s division 3 years ago! And if you didn’t already know, two of his great-great grandfathers are the legendary Son Goku and the champ Mr. Satan, both winners of past tournaments!” Goku looked around nervously, as he did in his last tournament, at all the people cheering and chanting his name. “But let’s not forget our other contestant, Ken Shinhan!” continued the announcer. “This is his second tournament after losing in the semifinals last year. He comes from the far east, but what you may not know is that he also has ties to the championship! His ancestor was the great Tien Shinhan, past winner of the tournament! This looks to be a battle of the kin of champions and I’m sure it’ll be monumental!” “WHOA!” exclaimed Roshi, “he’s related to Tien?! I never knew he had children.” “Hm,” said Pan, “I knew that 3rd eye looked familiar.” “Now,” called the announcer, “fighters take your battle poses.” Ken bowed to Goku with his hands folded, and Goku did so in return. Then they took their stances. “FIGHT!” declared the announcer. *BOOM* The giant gong was hit and the fight was on. I guess I’ll make the first attack thought Goku. He quickly moved to his right and stated running all around the ring, so fast that no one could see him. Everyone was in awe, but Ken just stood there. Then, he closed two of his eyes, and left his large third one open. “Heh, such a childish deception,” he laughed. And he stuck out his arm, and sure enough Goku hit it. “UHF!” grunted a surprised Goku. Before Goku had ample time to regroup, Ken turned around and punched him in the jaw and knocked him off balance. “OOOH!” cried the announcer. “A spectacular move! It seemed that Goku appeared out of thin air after he hit Ken’s hand and then was floored to the ground!” Goku got to his feet. Wow, he’s fast! he thought. That punch really didn’t hurt. I think I outclass him, his ki isn’t that strong. But that eye of his is highly trained. The training he must’ve went under was amazing! I won’t be caught off guard like that again. Goku then jumped into the air and Ken followed. To Goku’s surprise Ken was also able to fly. “Hm, let’s see,” he thought. “KAMEHAMEHA!” A surprised look came on Ken’s face and he quickly put his hands in the form of a triangle. “KYKO-HO!” The two ki blasts met in mid-air and exploded on contact. The two fighters were knocked back towards the arena with no apparent damage. “That move...” stuttered Master Roshi, “that was Tien’s ultimate move, the Kyko-ho also known as the Tri Beam.” “Really?” said Bra. “I never remember him saying anything about that.” Back in the ring Goku had a smile across his face. “So you can control ki after all.” “Heh, yes I can,” answered Ken. “Perhaps this will make the match more interesting.” Ken slowly started to rise into the air. Goku was on guard, ready for anything. Then Ken put both his palms over his forehead, facing outward, with his fingers touching each other. Goku suddenly realized what attack he was planning to do. “Crap!” and he flew up as fast as he could with his fist outstretched. He made contact just as Ken shouted, “TAIYO-KEN! WAH!” A blinding light came forth and Goku quickly shut his eyes. But being so close to the blast, he was still blinded by the ultra bright rays. Goku and Ken both fell to the ground, but this time they fell with a thud and were both lying on the ground. “OH! What amazing strength!” called the announcer. “Both fighters have been knocked to the ground! Goku has been blinded- but wait he’s getting up! And Ken is still on the ground holding his stomach! I’ll begin the count! 1, 2..!” “My eyes!” yelled Goku as he rubbed them furiously. “How does he know the Solar Flare?!” *HACK* Ken was up on one knee, spurting blood from his mouth. As he wiped his chin he looked up at Goku. “You could call it that, but I use its true name, the Taiyo-ken. It was one of my ancestor’s most trusted moves, he most likely taught it to your’s, Son Goku. Now, while you’re blinded, huff, I’ll finish you off.” Goku’s vision was just starting to come back, but he didn’t need his sight at that moment, he could still sense Ken’s ki. “Your power is dwindling. The effect of your attack plus the blow I dealt you has made you lose some stamina. Just try and get me!” “Why you-!” shouted Ken and he started to charge towards Goku. He wasn’t moving fast though, he still hadn’t fully recovered from the punch Goku gave him. Goku saw his opportunity and quickly disappeared and reappeared behind Ken. “d*mn IT!” yelled Ken. He knew he was done, he couldn’t move fast enough. *THWACK* Goku kicked Ken in the back and sent him sailing towards the stands. *THUD* Ken hit the wall of the stads and slumped down onto the grass, outside of the ring. “That’s a ring out! Ken Shinhan is disqualified, Goku has won!” The crowd began it raucous cheering again as Goku won his first match. With his eyesight fully back, he stepped down and outstretched his hand towards Ken. “That was a great match,” he said. “I’d like another go at ya sometime maybe!” Ken just stared, but then he smiled and clasped his hand around Goku’s. “Anytime!” And with that Goku helped him up and began walking back towards the waiting area. “Hm, just like Son Goku,” murmured Papaya Man to himself. Vegeta turned around and glared at him. Papaya Man met his stare and turned and walked away. Vegeta didn’t have much time to mull over it though because everyone was congratulating Goku. “Excellent job Goku!” commended Zonza. “You really showed him!” “Nice technique,” said Goshin, “a little shaky, but nonetheless, pretty good.” “Thanks a lot guys!” answered Goku. “I just hope I make it far enough so I can beat you Vegeta! HA!” “Oh, we’ll see Goku,” answered Vegeta. “You just better win your next two matches.” “Right!” ****
“..9...10! Narg is unable to continue! The Slayer wins the second match!” “Looks like I’ll be going against that Slayer guy in the quarter finals,” said Goku. “Yea, well this next match should be interesting,” said Vegeta. “The champ is fighting. He really is supposed to be strong, I don’t know how though in that goofy costume! HAHAHA-” Vegeta’s laugh was cut short when Papaya Man walked right past him, his eyes narrowed and he looked serious about his fight. He was wearing a green and orange costume, with a purple scarf covering his mouth. His spiky black hair was sticking out of his headpiece, and his cape was blowing in the wind. Behind him was walking his opponent, Nick the Quick. All he had on was a white leotard but he was very toned. The two fighters stepped into the ring as the announcer made his introductions. “Now for our third match, we have to my left, Nick the Quick! He comes from downtown Satan City, and is appearing in his 5th tournament. Even though he’s getting on in his years, he’s been known to end his fights quickly which is how he earned his nickname, The Quick! And as you may know, Nick here was knocked out in the first round of the last tournament and is looking to regain his old glory. But of course our 4-time champion Papaya Man stands in his way!” The crowd went ballistic. “But with out further adieu let’s begin the match!” *BOOM* went the gong, and the match was on. Nick began hopping up and down, doing a little one-two punch maneuver to the air in front of him. Papaya Man just shook his head. “You mocking me?” yelled Nick. “Come get some!” Papaya Man started running towards Nick. Nick crossed his arms over his chest to guard. But just as he was about to attack he jumped high over Nick and landed behind him propping himself up on one knee with his arms outstretched. Nick dropped his arms and just stood there for a couple seconds. Then without warning, he fell flat on his face. The announcer ran towards him, slapped his face and got no response. “He’s out cold! I don’t know what happened but Papaya Man has won!” The crowd was ecstatic and the champ walked back to the waiting area. As he walked back all that Goku, Vegeta, Goshin, and Gonell did was stare. “Holy-!” exclaimed Vegeta. “What did I miss?” asked Zonza. “He moved so fast,” said Goshin. “Before he jumped he punched him 7 times. Then once he jumped over him, he judo chopped his neck in the right spot to make him get knocked out. But he did it so fast. I don’t even know if I’m capable of that speed in my Super Saiyan 2 form.” “It seems like this tournament just got a whole lot more intriguing..” Goku trailed off.
In an amazing turn of events it seems that the current champ isn’t a joke! But what does this mean for our heroes? Who could he be? Find out in the next installments of DragonBall AF!

Last time on DragonBall AF, Rupan decided that Vegeta had to learn some responsibility, so he got his son a job at the local Taco Gong. Obviously, things didn’t go well so now Vegeta finally has time to train for the upcoming World Martial Arts Tournament.
“HYYYYAH!” “ARRRRGH!” Vegeta and Goku were undergoing a sparring session as Goshin looked on and examined their fighting tactics. “Goku, watch your left side,” said Goshin, “you’re leaving it vulnerable to attack.” “Yea,” he replied. But before he could position himself right, Vegeta quickly kicked him and knocked Goku to the ground. “PHEW!” sighed Vegeta, “that was some work out Goku. You’ve been training pretty good. I got a feeling we’ll all go far in this year’s tournament, just don’t expect me to go easy on you guys if I face you! Heh-heh!” “By the way,” added in Goshin, “why didn’t we join the tournament last year, or the year before?” “Well, I actually forgot about it!” laughed Goku. “I mean with you and mom and dad coming back, it just sorta slipped my mind.” “Yea,” said Vegeta, “I forgot myself, but I saw a commercial for it a while back and got me thinking, hey I should be training. So I guess you could say my fighting spirit is revitalized. I’ll become an SS2 and world champion!” “Well, if I had known prior to this, I definitely would have competed,” answered Goshin. “This tournament is supposed to be for the strongest under the heavens, so I’m sure there’ll be some strong contenders there.” “Yup, that’s why we gotta get stronger, so let’s keep at it guys!” replied Goku. ******* 3 months later
Finally, the day of the tournament had arrived. Pan, Bra, and their children, along with the 3 boys, Master Roshi and Turtle, all took a shuttle plane to where the tournament was being held. Thousands of people were there. Fireworks were going off, the smell of concessions like popcorn, cotton candy, and the like were flowing through the air giving the outside arena the appearance of a fancy carnival. “Wow,” marveled Gonell, “this place is huge! It’s changed so much since the last time I was here! How’s inside the arena, Goku? Is the floor good to fight on?” “Oh yea mom!” answered Goku. “It was great, that’s where me and Vegeta had our fight in the child’s final the last time we came.” “Hey you don’t think there’ll be one this year do you?” questioned Vegeta. “I don’t think so,” said Bra. “After you two thought, I think the tournament committee permanently changed the tournament to all ages. It might be because they know Goku Jr is related to the original.” “Ah yes,” sighed Pan. “Grandpa Goku was a great fighter. I’ll never forget all the adventures we went on. Those were the days.” “I believe this is the check-in counter,” said Goshin. “Mom, dad, you sure you want to enter?” “Of course!” answered Zonza. “You may not know, but your mother and I were pretty good fighters back in the day. And don’t count me out just because I’m not a Saiyan.” Everyone was now standing in front of the check-in counter as everyone gave their names. “All right,” said the clerk. “So we have Goku Jr, Vegeta Jr, Goshin, Gonell, and Zonza entering. You 5 may go to the fighters waiting area and wait for the preliminary. The rest of you may take your seats in the arena.” “All right, we’ll see you guys after the tournament!” called Gonell. “Good luck you guys!” said Celery. They started to go their separate ways, but Celery stopped. “Mom, where’d Master Roshi go?” “Oh no!” groaned Turtle. “There he is!” As he pointed with one flipper and covered his eyes with the other.” “Ladies!” yelled Roshi. “I’m afraid I’ll have to conduct a little inspection on your person, if you know what I mean! Heh-heh-heh!” “AAAAAAAAH!” yelled one of the girls, and she slapped Roshi in the face. “Stinky old pervert!” And with that she walked away. “Ugh, always embarrassing us!” said Bra. “Come on!” And with that she started dragging Roshi back towards the arena where everyone was waiting. “Oh, where’s the love?!” he wailed as he was being dragged. ****
Inside the arena was a concourse where the fighters waited for the preliminary to begin. Soon enough, the announcer stepped out and called the fighters’ attention. “Attention all participants!!” he bellowed. “Thank you for coming to this year’s Strongest Under the Heavens World Martial Arts Tournament! We have 224 participants this year, but only 15 spots will be available, and that 16th spot has already been reserved the current champion! Now as most of you know, we’ll begin the preliminary. It’s very simple, please punch the giant red target as hard as you can! Who ever can attain the 15 highest scores will move into the finals! Good luck!” “Well, I’m ready to go!” said Vegeta. “I think I’ll go first.” He began to pish past all the fighters trying to get into the front. “Excuse me, pardon me ,watch out, step aside, comin through!” After he exited the fray of people he saw three targets. Two men had just punched them. “Number 19, 94. Number 174, 102. Next!” “Oh, that’s me!” answered Vegeta. “Number please.” “Oh, 132.” “Go ahead and punch your hardest.” “Heh, all right!” he answered. He roostered his fist, reared back, and put a full-force blow into the target. *WHAM* The machine was blown into smithereens and all everybody could do, including Vegeta, was stare. “I guess I should be more careful,” he muttered. “Um, I think it’s safe to say you passed,” said the shocked attendant. “Um, go take a seat young man.” Vegeta walked back to the other Saiyans, all of them glaring at him. “Don’t be a showoff Vegeta,” commented Goshin. “It makes you look all the more weak.” Heh, I’ll be more careful,” he laughed nervously. The rest of the preliminaries went without incident and finally, the 16 fighters were selected and brought to the center of the arena. “AHEM! Ladies and gentlemen!” yelled the tournament announcer. “Our 16 fighters have been chosen! As they draw their lots from the box here to determine where they are placed in the fight, we’ll give you a brief history about the fighter. First up to draw, we have Bengal, a tiger who is skilled in the martial arts! Please step forward.!” The giant tiger did so and drew his lot which turned out to be 8. “Very good!” Said the announcer. “Next, please welcome Ken Shinhan, a fighter from the far east who is now in his second tournament!” Ken stepped forward. His bald had shimmered in the sun and his third eye was very noticeable for Pan to see. “Ken Shinhan, hm?” said Pan aloud. “I wonder...” “And it seems he’s chosen 2. Thank you! And next we have The Slayer who you may all know as the current world wrestling champion! He’s testing his skills here now!” The Slayer chose 4. “Very good! Next we have Jensai, the psychic from the south... and it seems she’s chosen 16!” “I must say,” Pan said to Bra, “at least these fighters seem more stronger than from the jokes that used to beat the tournaments last century.” “Yup, you’re right,” said Bra. “Next, we have The Great Saiyaman III! You all now him as the protector of Satan City for the past 10 years, protecting us just like the original did 100 years ago! And it seems he’s picked 12!” “Oh brother!” sighed Pan. “I guess some jokes have still gotten in somehow!” The selection continued with the fighters being announced and finally the tournament board was finalized. ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our full tournament board!” The crowd started to roar and the announcer began to read off the matches. “First match we have Goku Jr. vs. Ken Shinhan. 2nd we have Narg vs. The Slayer. 3rd we have Nick the Quick vs. our champion the past 4 years, the masked Papaya Man!!!!” The crowd went wild again as the champion was announced. “After that, the fourth match will be between Vegeta Jr and Bengal. 5th we’ll have Hajime Yukimora vs. Gonell. 6th will be Zonza vs Great Saiyaman III. 7th will be Kuro vs. the world heavyweight champion, Joe Boxer! And last but not least, the final match will be between Goshin and Jensai! Good luck to all our participants and we’ll begin in precisely 20 minutes!” The 5 Saiyans began walking back toward the waiting area. “I’m so excited!” exclaimed Goku. “I can’t wait to finally fight for something meaningful!” “Well, your first son, so good luck!” replied Zonza.
Finally, the tournament is about to get underway. Everyone has been assigned their fights, but who will come out on top? And who are the mysterious fighters known as Papaya Man and Ken Shinhan? Find out in the coming chapters as the tournament begins next time on DragonBall AF!

Last time on DragonBall AF, Celery, Gonell, Zonza, and Rupan told the story on how they were abducted. Afterwards, Bra realized that they all may have developed Stockholm Syndrome, a case in which captives identify with their captors. After a short speech by Goshin, they agreed to allow Bra to test them. Now, over 2 ½ years later, life has returned to normal. Gonell, Zonza and their boys have moved in with Pan, and Celery has gone back to being the head of Capsule Corp with Rupan at her side. Goshin has finally grown more accustomed to his surroundings and with the World Martial Arts tournament coming in 3 months, him and the other two young Saiyans have begun their training, in more ways than one...
“Aw come on dad, you’re kidding right?” whined Vegeta. “Son,” replied Rupan, “when I was 15, I already had had two jobs! Now you can’t be lazing around, you have to learn responsibility Vegeta.” “OK dad,” scoffed Vegeta, “I live at Capsule Corporation and I don’t know responsibility.” “What? What?!” said Rupan, “You don’t do anything! Whenever me or your mother, or even your grandmother tell you to do something, you get one of the servants to do it!” “That counts as something don’t it? I have to get up to tell them.” “That’s it! No more questions asked, you’re starting working at Taco Gong tomorrow morning! You’re lucky I know the owner so I could get you in!” “No way!” yelled Vegeta. “Anyways dad, I gotta start training for the tournament!” “You’re strong enough,” answered Rupan. “You don’t understand! I have to become a Super Saiyan 2 on my own, not through fusion! I have to!” “Well, you’re only going to be working for a couple months anyway. Now me and your mother have discussed this and it’s happening. I don’t want anymore bull from you. Now good night.” And with that, Rupan shut the door of Vegeta’s room and walked out. “d*mn!” bellowed Vegeta as he through his pillow in disgust. He picked up his phone and dialed Goku’s number. “Hello?” answered Goku. “Hey, it’s Vegeta.” “What’s up?” “I couldn’t get out of it, I’m so screwed! You and Goshin are gonna have to train without me for a while.” “HAHAHAHAHA!” laughed Goku. “Wow, Vegeta working at Taco Gong! This’ll be something to see! HAHA!” “Yea laugh now sucker,” snapped Vegeta. “Man, I hope I screw up or something so I can get the hell out of there.” “Well, at least you’re getting paid.” “I guess so. Well, I’m gonna go. I’m going to play the newest ChronoDragon game, just got it. That Makhira Toriygama guy is one hell of a game designer!” “Yea! Well, maybe I’ll stop in for a taco or something tomorrow! HAHA! See ya!” “OK, later.” *****
The next day, Vegeta had overslept, and Rupan was a bit ticked off. “d*mn it Vegeta!” he barked as he entered Vegeta’s room and pulled open the shades. “It’s 11:00, you’re supposed to be there at 11:30 for training! You were up last night playing video games again weren’t you? “Huh?” replied Vegeta groggily. “Of course not. YAAAAAWN!” “Well hurry up and get ready. I’m supposed to meet your mom at a meeting so you’re gonna go by yourself. And please don’t fly there, it’ll look weird. Just take the car.” “Whatever.” Rupan left the room and Vegeta began to get ready, putting on his uniform that his dad picked up last week. “This is so stupid, I don’t believe I have to wear a bow-tie with this!” Soon, Vegeta was ready and walked downstairs through the kitchen were Bra was eating some brunch. “Oh, I hope you have a great day at work dear!” she said. “Tch, yea, I’ll try to,” answered Vegeta snidely. He picked up the capsule case and walked out the door. He opened the case, but then he stopped. “Screw this!” he said. “I’ll just fly there and no one will know the difference.” And with that he slipped the case in his back pocket and flew off. About 5 minutes later, he landed about a block away from the fast-food restaurant and began walking towards it. Once inside, he was overwhelmed by the smell of fresh greens and taco meat. He looked behind the counter and there stood a man with the same uniform on, except he had ‘Manager’ pinned on his shirt. He was tall and skinny with bright red hair, thick-rimmed glasses, and a real pasty kind of skin. Where does dad find these people? Vegeta thought to himself. “Ah! Fajita!” called the Manager as he walked towards him. “You must be Rupan’s son, so nice to meet you. I’m Bob, the manager.” “Uh, did you just call me ‘fajita’?” “Yes, that’s your name isn’t it?” Vegeta began to get irritated. “No. It’s VEGETA.” “Oh, I’m so sorry,” answered Bob. “I must’ve misunderstood your dad. We’ll get that changed soon.” He handed Vegeta his name tag and it read ‘Fajita’. “You’re kidding me, right?” asked Vegeta. “Well, everyone has to wear their name tag, that’s the code!” replied Bob. “It’ll just be for today, I’ll make a new one for you tomorrow. Anyway, let me show you around.” Bob took Vegeta behind the counter and showed him how to work everything and introduced him to a few of the workers. Finally at noon, the place was ready to open and Vegeta took his post at the cashier’s stand. “Now remember,” said Bob, “when someone’s about to order say, ‘Hi, welcome to Taco Gong, how can I be of service?’ And when they’re done tell them thank you, easy enough?” “I guess so.” “Good! Oh and where’s your visor at?” “Oh, I must have left it at home,” he answered sarcastically. “Well lucky for you I have an extra! Here!” Bob pulled out another visor and put it on Vegeta. “There all set. Now here comes a customer, do good!” And with that, Bob went back to his office. “Why God, why?” mumbled Vegeta. “Excuse me? Said the old man who stood in front of him. “Oh!” exclaimed Vegeta. “Um, welcome to Taco Gong, how can I be of service.” “Well.... Fajita,” said the old man, “I’d like-“ ”Sir, it’s Vegeta, they spelled my name wrong.” “Oh, I’m sorry. OK, well, I’d like a Mucho Grande meal please. “Is that all sir,” answered Vegeta in a monotone voice. “Yes, Fajita. “Grrrrrrrrrrrrr,” murmured Vegeta. “That’s 100 Zeni. Thank you, please step towards the pick up line.” “But there is no line Fajita,” replied the old man. Vegeta’s face started to turn sour. “Sir, first of all, my name’s Vegeta, I already explained that. Second of all, there’s no line because you’re the first customer.” The old man just stared. “Sorry, Fajita I just spaced out for a minute, could you repeat that?” “Grrrrrrrrrr! I SAID MY NAME IS VEGETA AND THERE’S NO LINE BECAUSE YOU’RE THE FIRST PERSON HERE!!” Everyone in the kitchen looked towards Vegeta as he sheepishly turned around and met their stunned looks. “Uhhhhhhhhhh, what I mean is just step that way.” As he pointed towards his left. “Oh, OK. Thank you Fajita!” The old man walked away as Vegeta just glared at him. If only I could blow a frigging ki blast! As the day went on, many people got Vegeta’s name wrong and Vegeta tried his best to hold his anger. But at the end of his shift, another irritating person came in. “Welcome to Taco Gong, how can I be of service?” “Let me get 4 Mucho Grande meals no tomatoes, extra peppers, 5 orders of onion rings and an extra large diet cola.” “Ooo, gotta stick with your diet still, huh?” murmured Vegeta. “What?” “Oh, um, that’ll be 843 Zeni. Thank you, please step towards the pick-up line.” The lady got her food and walked out, but no more than two minutes later, she walked right ack in fuming and marched up to Vegeta. “Young man!” she demanded. “I asked for extra tomatoes, and no peppers and you turned it all around.” “SIGH, may I see your receipt?” She shoved it in Vegeta’s face and he looked it over. “Ma’am, you asked for no tomatoes and extra peppers. Says so on your receipt and the computer.” “That is a lie! A full-blown out lie! How dare you tarnish my food!” And unexpectidly, she slapped Vegeta in the face. Vegeta turned his face into a frown. “THAT”S IT!” He then flicked the woman in the forehead and sent her flying through tables and chairs. Bob heard the noise and came out. “Fajita! I-I mean, Vegeta! How could you?” he screamed. “She was asking for it. She female dog-slapped me.” “That doesn’t matter, the customer is always right. Ma’am re you okay?” “What?!” yelled Vegeta. “I can’t take this anymore! I don’t care if I piss my parents off! I qu-” “You’re fired, Vegeta!” Vegeta just stared at him dumbfounded with his mouth wide open. “Now please go! This lady doesn’t need to see you when she comes to!” “Oh brother,” muttered Vegeta as he walked out the door. Later that night when his parent’s got home, Rupan asked how the day went.” “Oh, just fine dad,” Vegeta said. “Good, I’ll give Bob a call then.” “No!” yelled Vegeta. “Um, what I mean is, he’s very busy and said he’s not going to pick up the phone unless it’s someone in his family.” “Oh I see. Shame I can’t go visit you at work since I work at the same time myself. Oh well, keep up the good work Vegeta!” said Rupan as he walked out of the kitchen. “Oh I definitely will!” smirked Vegeta.
Now that Vegeta has gotten out of his job, and tricked his dad, he can begin training seriously for the Tournament. But it’s only in three short months, so make sure you read the next installment of DragonBall AF!

“Well, like Rupan said, the tests decreased, we were given more freedoms and by the time 5 years had passed, the aliens that abducted us got into two or three skirmishes with Siriak, but it never amounted to more than a stalemate. Then, we actually found out our captors weren’t half-bad. Sometimes, we thought they were looking out for us even. But that feeling went away for a while when during one of the tests Gonell came back crying. ‘Zonza, they took something from me, they just ripped it right out of me!’ ‘What, what was it?’ I asked her. ‘They took one of my eggs,’ she said. ‘They told me they were going to combine it with their DNA and make the “ultimate weapon”. They said they were going to put the embryo into stasis for later use! I- I can’t believe this! I just want to get out!’ “That entire night she cried. There was nothing we could do. But it turns out there was never anymore tests after that. Shortly thereafter, we found out that the Siriak had been wiped out by an epidemic. The war was over. We thought we’d be free, but the aliens never mentioned it and we realized we’d never be released. But slowly, we regained trust in our captors. They pretty much let us do whatever we wanted and the ship became our home. “But then a year ago, as we were finally near the home world, the aliens picked up a signal of another ship heading here fast. Only one life-form was aboard, and that person was part Saiyan. They patched through to the camera on board, and it was unmistakable, the hair gave it away, it was Goshin. He realized he was being watched and said he was going to destroy every living Algaron. Our ship quickly went into hyper drive, and we hid into a relatively nearby black hole. We just narrowly missed being destroyed. Goshin must’ve not known there was a black hole there, because the moment he fired at us was the same time we went into the black hole. He must’ve thought we were vaporized. If he would’ve known the truth, he would’ve followed us.” Goshin’s eyes had lit up, but he still stayed silent. “We emerged a few hours later, the home world was gone. There was nothing left for them to live for so they began going back the way they came. We soon realized they were heading to earth. Last month we reached our galaxy, that’s when they told us they’d be releasing us. We were shocked and we asked why and they said it was because they felt they were holding us for too long, and they knew they had to return us very soon. I don’t know about the other three, but I didn’t believe that for a second. I think there was some other force at work. I think it was pure coincidence that you wished us back at this time. I truly believe something or someone was threatening their lives. They were acting weird ever since we entered the galaxy. Transmissions were being covered up, meetings were being held in secret for the first time in years. I guess we’ll never know though what it was they were doing. I’ll miss them, but it sure is good to be home.” “What you went through,” stuttered Pan, “was truly amazing. I’m amazed you survived, but aren’t you mad at the aliens for what they did to you?” “No, not really,” replied Celery. “While some of the things they did were not right, in the long run they were OK.” Bra, Pan and Roshi exchanged frightful glances with each other while Goku and Vegeta were trying to understand what was just said. “*GULP* Guys,” said Bra, “I hate to say this, but I think you may’ve developed Stockholm Syndrom.” “HAHAHAHA!” laughed Rupan. “Now that’s funny! Why would you say that?” “I’m serious,” replied Bra. “Sure, you do still seem the same, but deep down, something’s not right. Maybe they weren’t directly brainwashing you, I don’t know for sure, but being away from civilized human beings has just... changed you somewhat. I would really like to rum some tests on you guys in the morning. You may not appreciate it now, but you will in the long run.” “Mom,” said Celery, “you really don’t think that do you? You’re just joking right?” “Yea, right?” chimed in Gonell. Suddenly without warning, Goshin stood up and had a distressed look on his face. “Are you insane?!” he yelled. “How could you be saying that?! I don’t understand how you could be thinking this way! Why do you guys think I was in that ship? I was also abducted by Algarons, and while they may have done a few good things for me I never forgave them! Why would I forgive the aliens that took me from my home, ripped me from my mother’s arms, ran dozens of test on me to determine where my strength came from, and hours upon hours of torture. That entire experience was hell, and if you think for one minute that getting abducted is something you forgive, well your wrong, plain and d*mn simple.” Rupan and Celery gave each other worried looks. Gonell sat there with her mouth gaping. Zonza seemed to be affected by his son’s words the most. He put his head in his hands and was dwelling on the facts he heard. “Alright Bra,” said Zonza after a long silence, “we’ll take these tests. I don’t know if it’ll prove anything, but we’ll see.” “Thank you for cooperating Zonza,” said Bra. “Well, it’s getting late. We have a few obstacles ahead of us, but soon everything will hopefully be back to normal. Vegeta, show Gonell, Zonza and Goshin to the guest rooms. Celery, Rupan, I left your room intact, hoping that you’d one day come back.” “Well, thanks,” said Rupan curtly as Celery just nodded her head. “We’ll see you all in the morning.” And with that, everybody went to their respected rooms and called it a night.
Finally, the story behind the capture of the foursome has been revealed. But obviously now, there is a lot of tension at Capsule Corp. Feelings have been hurt, trust has been broken. But hopefully, in due time, Bra will be able to address the problem with her and Pan’s children, Goshin will grow accustomed to his surroundings, and life as they know it can finally return to normal. Make sure you don’t miss the next chapter of DragonBall AF!

Last time on DragonBall AF, after finally defeating the Red Ribbon army and collecting all of the DragonBalls, Shenlong was finally summoned once again. Goku and Vegeta Jr. both wished for the safe returns of their parents. But unbeknownst to them Goku’s twin brother, Goshin, had survived. But now forgiven by the two young Saiyans, things may finally start getting back to normal. But where were the boys’ parents all this time?...
Bra and Pan were in the kitchen preparing some drinks for their long-lost children while everyone else waited in the dining room. “Bra, don’t you think it a bit odd that are children were so, well, somewhat nonchalant?” asked Pan. “It’s like, they knew they were coming or something.” “I don’t know for sure,” replied Bra. “But you’d have to imagine something happened to them for these past 8 years. They may have been held against their will or something. They may have been broken. Luckily, I know a bit on psychoanalysis. We’ll get to the bottom of this. I truly hope there’s nothing wrong with them, it’s been so long, and now they could be...” “We’ll see I suppose, but let’s make the best of it. Maybe nothing is really wrong at all, we’ll see. Come on, help me bring these platters in.” Bra and Pan both walked into the room. Everyone was seated around the table, talking with each other, trying to remember the good old times. Goshin though didn’t seem to fit in very well. He sat in a corner of the room away from everyone. Zonza and Gonell tried to get him to join in, but he chose not to. Vegeta was looking in his direction. “I don’t know if we should trust him, Goku,” he said “Of course we can, he’s my brother,” he replied. “I think he’s just nervous, being around everyone. He’s just nervous meeting everybody here for the first time in years. It’s gonna take him a while to be the person he was before..” “Goku, I don’t think that person ever existed,” Vegeta said solemnly. “Oh, it’s just been so long since we’ve seen him all of you,” interrupted Gonell, “and especially you Goku. *SNIFF* Oh I’ve missed you both so much!” “Wait,” said Goku. “What do you mean?” Everyone now looked toward Gonell. “You’ll have to excuse her,” said Celery. “We probably should’ve started from the beginning.” “Yes, we really want to know what happened,” said Bra. “I know, I want to tell you everything that happened,” responded Gonell. “Guys, if I miss anything, fill in the holes. *SIGH* All right, this is what happened. As you know mom, that night 8 years back, me Zonza, Celery and Rupan all went for a night out together. We took Goshin with us so as not to leave you with such a hassle watching two babies. Well, as we were driving home, a bright light overcame us. Next thing we knew, we were all strapped down on these strange beds, but I realized that Goshin was not there with me! I began to cry and I got angry. Everyone else was still knocked out or something. I didn’t know where I was, I couldn’t sense anything! That’s when I got real angry and turned Super Saiyan! I easily broke my bonds, but then I noticed something was attached to my neck. I touched it, and an electrical impulse shocked me and I began to scream even more! “Soon everyone else had also woken up. Celery broke free of her bonds as well. She freed the other two, but I was still on the ground, I had gone into shock. Zonza, you go on, it gets a little hazy for me here.” “Sure,” answered Zonza. “Well, like Gonell said, we had all broken free and we started looking for an exit. We couldn’t find one, but I was more worried about Gonell. I remember Celery using a few ki blasts on the walls, but it was to no avail.. Everything around us was pure white, we saw nothing but blank whiteness and the tables we were originally strapped on. “A few moments later, an opening in the blankness emerged. We saw three figures. They were about our height and looked very strange, I’d never seen this race of aliens before. They had brown skin, if you can even call it skin. They’re faces were hideous. They had two eyes inside two deep sockets. They had no irises, just redness. They had no nose and they’re mouth was tightly shut and it didn’t seem very big. They had two legs, two arms, just like us, but they had three fingers on each limb. “Anyways, they began to speak. Well, it wasn’t quite talking, more like telepathy. Somehow, Gonell’s convulsions had finally stopped. I saw that one of the aliens had something in his hand, a control device. I realized it must control what was around our necks. I was just about to reach for it when the alien said, Don’t move. “All we could do was stare. His mouth hadn’t moved, it was shocking. Then he raised the control device and pushed the button. I immediately went into convulsions. We realized that this was used to keep us in check. After a minute or so the convulsions stopped. The aliens then began to speak to us again. We are of the race called Algarons. We have taken you because we need your power. We have learned that Saiyan-human hybrids have the utmost strength of almost any living being. We need your power and skill to end centuries of war between us and our enemies, the Siriak. Now that we have you four, we will manipulate your bodies into fighting machines that we will control. Do not resist us, or you will be made to feel the most agonizing of pain, and do not attempt to remove the bands around your neck. We will show you precisely what will happen if you choose do so. ‘§§ŒØØ¥£ þœ_æ§!’ “The alien then talked in some foreign tongue we couldn’t understand. A few seconds later two more of the aliens brought in an another type of alien. He was badly battered and had the same device around his neck. I assumed he was one of the Siriak and he was a prisoner of war. Anyways, one of the guards put on some kind of glove and began tampering with the device around the Siriak’s neck. The glove must’ve blocked the electric shock. It turns out he was taking it off, but the Siriak was struggling with fear in his eyes. Shortly, the band was removed and as soon as that happened it exploded. The Siriak’s head was blown into smithereens while the alien had put up some kind of barrier less than a second after he took the collar off. “We realized what this meant. Even if we could get through the pain, there was no way we’d survive taking that collar off. After the demonstration, barriers popped out in front of the aliens. Then, bright blue gas started coming from the ceiling. We all started to cough and were soon incapacitated. Next thing I knew we were in another part of the ship. We were all on what seemed to be operating tables. The aliens had already started on Rupan and Celery, what they did to them I can’t bear to say, it was disgusting! Then, the aliens noticed I was awake and put something over my nose which again knocked me out. “This went on for weeks, slipping in and out of consciousness, not knowing what was real, what was our imagination. After those first few weeks, the tests decreased and now all we did most of our time was sit in our cell and contemplate how to get out. The aliens soon realized that Rupan and I were not Saiyan and we were never tested on again, but every so often they would take Celery and Gonell out to do more tests.” “So all you did in between the time these tests were going on was sitting in your cell?” questioned Master Roshi. “In the beginning yes,” answered Rupan, “they were trying to break us or something. But, heh, since we’re strong-willed and all they kinda gave up on breaking us. They kept saying that soon they’d have technology to completely take us over, but that day never came. Go ahead and tell him the rest Zonza.”
