DragonBall AF
Episode 5: New enemies- What’s holding you back? 
	“ What’s wrong Master Vegeta?” The Briefs’ butler asked Vegeta as he played around with his 
dinner. 
	“ Nothing.” he quickly answered. Trying not to arise suspicion by his grandmother and Asuku, 
who by now were staring at him. 
	“ Okay well that was good but I’ve got homework to do.” Asuku stood up, she bumped up against 
the table and Vegeta sprayed soup all over himself. “ Sorry Vegeta!” Asuku shouted as she ran out of the 
room. 
	“ Guess I better go take a shower.” Vegeta said standing up and leaving out of the other door. 
	“ The kids are falling apart.” Marron said to the butler who looked strangely at her. 
	“ Dring. Dring.” The phone in Asuku’s room rang endlessly.  She stood up, dropping her study 
book and pencil. The dark sky lit the moon and her shadow as she paced herself across towards the phone. 
	“ Hello?” She answered, cheerfully but still tired. 
	“ Asuku…this will be your end…” A cold voice laughed. 
	“ What? Who is this?” She asked nervously. 
	“ Your end is coming soon. You have to many weaknesses.” A click was heard and Asuku 
dropped the phone. 
	“ What’s going on?” She asked holding her hand towards her throat. 
	“ It’ll all fall into place.” A young man smirked. His hand on the phone. His pale face covered by 
the shadows. “ You’ll see.” He spoke to himself and placed both his hands on his chin. 
	“ Dring. Dring.” Asuku carefully picked up the phone up again and yelled at it. 
	“ I don’t care what you’re saying but stop calling and trying to scare me!” She yelled angrily. 
	“ Hey! I was just calling to ask if you got the answer to Japanese 45 pg. 9251!” Goku shouted 
back. 
	“ Sorry Gokuu!” She sighed and slumped against the wall. “ It’s just someone called like a few 
minutes ago and said the ends coming and I have to many weaknesses.” She sighed again. “ It scared me.”
	“ Sorry too. I would have yelled too.” Goku said continued slowly. “ So…if you…get 
anymore…c…calls…like that…I…I mean call me okay.” He stammered. Asuku was unaware that he was 
blushing and shaking. 
	“ Yeah. Thanks Gokuu that means a lot to me.” She smiled. Her eyes reflecting the moonlight. “ 
Oh and the answer is nine hundred and forty. Goodnight Gokuu see you at school tomorrow.”
	“ Yeah goodnight, Asuku. See you tomorrow…” He hung up the phone and sighed. “ I finally did 
it!”
	“ Yep it only took you five hours and three minutes this time!” Pan laughed at her grandson. He 
had been trying to call Asuku but always chickened out. 
	“ Grandma stop listening to my conversations!” He slammed the door shut, blushing all over 
again. 
	“ Kids these days.” Pan shook her head and laughed and entered her room. 
					--------------------------
	“ I can’t believe we still have to wear this little skirts in freezing weather.” Asuku huffed, trying to 
warm herself up.
	“ Here.” Vegeta handed her his jacket. 
	“ But Vegeta I already have one and you’ll freeze!” Asuku stated. 
	“ Just take it.” He said not looking at her. 
	“ Thank-you.” She smiled and put it on. 
	“ Better?” Misako asked. 
	“ Yeah but still!” Asuku started to complain again. 
	“ Yeah it does seem colder than usual” Shino replied. “ I never remembered it being like this.” The 
bell rung and they rushed inside. 
	“ Later Vegeta.” Shino and Asuku said as they entered their music class. 
	“ Okay class today for once were going to write.” They’re new music teacher, Ms. Koochi said as 
everyone took their seats.. “ Then everyone can sing their parts for the music festival.”
	“ A festival?” Goku asked.
	“ Yeah our school holds one every year.” Aseriana said politely. She had enrolled in the school on 
Monday. 
	“ I hate writing!” Asuku whined and looked out of the window. Goku stared, silently at her. 
Blushing every time he looked at her. 
	“ Told ya.” Shino smirked as she whispered to Aseriana. 
	“ What the?” Asuku began and stood up violently. “ It’s snowing!” She shouted and pointed out 
the window. 
	“ Look at it!” Shino exclaimed. 
	“ I’ve never seen so much in my life!” Misako gasped. 
	“ Amazing!” Goku Jr. smiled. 
	“ Wow…” The teacher observed the snow. Never had it snow so much in Satan City history. 
	“ It’s so beautiful.” Asuku smiled. Her hands rested on the window. “ What?” She whispered as a 
figure was placed in the snow. His blue eyes shone with the light of the hidden sun. 
	“ Asuku!” The teacher called to her.
	“ Yes?” She jumped at her voice. 
	“ It’s your turn to practice your song.” She led her to the front. “ Will Shino be your music as 
usual?” 
	“ Yep.” Shino said as she sat on the piano bench. 
	“ It wasn’t the same without you last year.” Their classmates said, remembering that Shino had 
moved for a year. 
	“ Yo ta me ma ta ta cue…” Asuku began singing her famous song. Her sweet voice filled the 
music room and the rooms on the level. After a few minutes she was finished. 
	“ Thank-you Asuku.” The teacher clapped. “ But it looks like we have no more time left.” She said 
as they lined up. 
	“ That was beautiful Asuku!” Aseriana went on praising her. 
	“ Thanks.” She smiled, her eyes opening at the corners, still sensing someone was there. 
	“ You’ll see what’s going to happen soon enough, Asuku, soon enough.” The voice whispered. 
	“ Hold on guys I have to go get my book.” Asuku said as she ran out of line. Down the empty hall 
and up to her locker. 
	“ What’s with me running in empty halls. It scares me. Come to think of it a lot of things scare 
me.” She went on talking to herself. But she heard the silence and stopped. The windows let in little light of 
the hiding sun. Suddenly a bright light came from outside and all the windows broke. The glass shattered 
all over floor and almost hit Asuku. She ran trying the escape the flying glass but every window she past it 
broke, until she was backed into a dead end. 
	“ Asuku!” Vegeta and Goku had both forgotten their books too. They saw her against the wall and 
all the glass on the floor. Then from behind Asuku the wall turned black and Asuku began to fall 
backwards. 
	“ Asuku!” Vegeta called out and ran towards her. 
	“ Someone help me!” She called out. Vegeta reached for her hand but just missed. She fell into the 
whole of darkness, her arms stretching out to reach him.
	“ Asuku…” Vegeta felt tears beginning to surface. “ ASUKU!” He yelled out. He slammed his 
fists against the ground and Goku placed his hand on his shoulder. 
	“ Vegeta…it’s not your fault.” Vegeta could here the sadness in Goku’s voice. They began to turn 
back towards class when a figure’s shadow appeared. 	
	“ Looking for this?” He said holding an unconscious Asuku in his arm.
	“ Give her back!” Vegeta said.
	“ Come and fight me then.” The figure laughed. Vegeta began to charge forward but remembered 
what happened last time and he stopped. 
	“ Come and fight Vegeta!” Goku yelled at him. “ You can fight better than I can…much better.” 
Goku had already been knocked down once by the figure but he still never gave up, while Vegeta just stood 
there watching. The figure began to move away. 
	“ Your too weak.” He filled the halls with flames and snow blew in through the windows and the 
hole in the wall. 
	“ Asuku…” Vegeta whispered , catching a last glimpse of Asuku’s body. The figure disappeared 
into the snow.  
	“ So that’s what happened.” Goku finished as Aseriana placed a bandage on his face. 
	“ I don’t understand what they would want Asuku for.” One of the teachers said. The whole school 
had been standing around listening to Goku. 
	“ Where’s Vegeta?” Sunni asked. 
	“ He’s standing over there. I think he feels guilty he missed Asuku’s hand when she fell and then 
he didn’t even TRY to save her.” 
	“ That doesn’t sound like him.” Shino mumbled. 
	“ Yeah and Asuku said she got a weird phone call last night too!” Goku added. 
	“ What?” Vegeta had started to strangle Goku. “ Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” He asked. Shino 
and Sunni got him to release Goku. 	
	“ You wouldn’t listen to me Vegeta!” Goku shouted rubbed his throat. He stepped back and 
tripped on something. “ What’s this?” He picked up the bag. Out fell a dragonball.
	“ Asuku had been caring around that thing all week.” Aseriana added. 
	“ Maybe if we collect them we can wish to find Asuku.” Shino stated.
