It had been two days since the battle with Cell. During that time, Goku hadn't been idle. He remained in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, training diligently in preparation for the battles ahead.
Today, Goku finally made up his mind and arrived on a desolate planet where no one would interrupt them. All the girls had gathered as well.
"Goku, are you really sure about this?" Bulma looked at the equipment beside her, her expression full of hesitation.
"Yeah! If I want to transform into Super Saiyan 4, this is the only way!" Goku nodded firmly, then looked at the girls. "Once I transform into a Great Ape, if I lose control, I need you all to try your best to bring me back to my senses. Got it?"
Bulma wiped the sweat off her forehead. "Are you sure you won't accidentally stomp us all flat?" She knew very well just how terrifying Goku could be after transforming into a Great Ape.
"Ahem... Well, uh... That might actually happen..." Goku scratched his cheek, looking sheepish.
"What's the big deal? Even if we die, Goku can just revive us with the Dragon Balls! And if he's not in a state to do it himself, he already gave them to Krillin. He can handle it," Saya analyzed the situation calmly.
Saeko nodded with a serene expression. "We should have full faith in our man. Since Goku wants to take the risk, we should support him with everything we've got!"
"Nee-chan! Is Goku really going to turn into a giant ape? Like, just like those ones in the movies?" Alice stood nearby, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"I wanna see what Goku-nii looks like as a Great Ape too!" Karin chimed in, her face full of curiosity.
"I'll do my best to bring Goku-nii back to his senses!" Among the three, Haku was clearly the most mature.
"The Saiyan race is really something else... Not only can you guys transform into Super Saiyans, but you can even turn into giant apes too?" Rika squinted as she spoke, her face full of fascination.
"Could we die? That actually sounds kinda thrilling!" Shizuka, ever the airhead, didn't even register the danger—in fact, she looked excited.
"Okay then, Android 18, I'll leave the next part to you!" Goku turned to the cool and silent woman standing off to the side. It had taken a lot of convincing to get her to come along—he didn't want to hurt any of his girls, but if he wanted to unlock Super Saiyan 4 and ensure victory against his future enemies, he had to take the risk.
"Fine. But helping you this time clears the debt for saving me and 17," Android 18 said coldly, looking at him.
"Of course!" Goku chuckled and handed her a large pair of pliers. "Alright then, 18—I'll leave the tail extraction to you!"
"Goku... You're seriously going to pull out your tail with just a pair of pliers?" Mikoto and the others stared in disbelief at the tool in Android 18's hands.
"My tail was permanently sealed by Kami... But if I try hard enough, maybe I can pull it out?" Goku said, uncertainly.
Inwardly, Goku wasn't sure either. In GT, Old Kai just yanked the tail out... I hope I'm not getting myself screwed here.
Even as his mind wandered, his hands didn't stop. Right in front of all the girls, he undid his belt and revealed his bare butt. Saeko and the others who'd been intimate with him didn't react much, but Chi-Chi, Launch, and Kushina immediately blushed and turned away. Especially Kushina—she and Goku weren't officially together yet! He'd been so busy with battles and training that there hadn't been much time for emotional bonding. Even Android 18, normally cold and composed, flushed slightly at the sight.
"Whoa! Goku-nii just flashed his butt in public! So embarrassing!" Alice clapped her hands over her eyes, though she peeked through her fingers, laughing and making a fuss. Even Goku's thick skin couldn't handle that—his face turned beet red. "Go play somewhere else! I'm trying to do something serious here! 18, go ahead!"
With a light blush, Android 18 steadied herself, picked up the pliers, and reached toward Goku's butt...
"Aw man! This scene is so full of love!" Kiriko's eyes lit up as she sighed with admiration.
"Fujoshi alert!" All the other girls immediately rolled their eyes at her.
"Owww!!" Goku howled with a mix of pain and satisfaction as Android 18 clamped the pliers onto the small stub of his tail and started pulling with all her might.
"AAAAAAHHHH!! 18, take it easy! That freaking hurts!!" Goku was gripping a boulder weighing hundreds of tons, veins bulging across his body, clearly enduring extreme pain.
"Should we stop...? He looks like he's in serious pain," Shizuka and the others began to panic, feeling sorry for him. Even Android 18 hesitated, lessening her strength slightly.
"Don't stop! Just keep pulling until it comes out! I can take it!!" Goku yelled, gritting his teeth.
Seeing how determined he was, Android 18 steeled herself, flared her energy, placed one foot on Goku's backside, and yanked with all her strength.
With a heart-wrenching scream, Goku's tail was finally yanked out by force.
"Goku, are you okay?!" The girls all rushed over and surrounded him, while Shizuka gently cradled his head on her long, soft thighs.
"Whoa! Goku actually got his tail back!"
"This is unreal!"
Seeing that he was okay, the girls sighed in relief—and immediately started playing with his long, furry tail.
"Come on, seriously? It's not a toy, you know!" Goku stood up, brushing them off. His expression turned serious again. "Alright, next up—the Blutz Wave Generator! Time to trigger the Great Ape transformation!"
In fact, he could probably transform even without the tail under Blutz Wave exposure, but better safe than sorry.
---
"Goku, are you ready?" Bulma sat in the control seat of the Blutz Wave Generator, shouting to Goku who stood atop a boulder some distance away. Saeko and the others watched nervously from the side.
"Yeah! Let's do this! And crank the frequency to max! I need as much power as possible to go Golden Great Ape!" Goku gave an OK gesture, face serious. Though deep inside, he was mumbling to himself: 'With my current power, I should be ready for Super Saiyan 4… Let's hope this works!'
"Alright…" Bulma nodded, took a deep breath, and activated the machine. A burst of intense Blutz Waves shot toward Goku instantly.
Thump... thump... thump…
The moment the waves hit him, Goku's heart began to pound furiously. His muscles started swelling, his eyes turned blood red, filled with primal fury.
"RAAAAAAAHHHH!!"
A terrifying surge of energy exploded from Goku's body. Pebbles and boulders lifted into the air, scattering like debris in a violent storm.
His body began to grow—fast. Clothes ripped apart. Golden fur burst from his skin. His handsome face twisted and morphed, nose enlarging, fangs protruding. In just a few moments, a massive ape stood where Goku had been.
"ROOOOAAAARRR!!"
The Golden Great Ape let out a furious roar. The surrounding cliffs and rocks shattered instantly, debris flying in every direction.
"Yikes! Goku-nii really turned into a giant ape! And he looks scary!" Alice and the other two little girls screamed and hid behind the others. The aura from the beast was far too terrifying, and it was no wonder they were frightened.
"He... He actually transformed into a Golden Great Ape! But… he looks completely berserk!" Kiriko stared, stunned, at the giant ape thumping its chest and smashing the environment.
"Yeah... he's definitely lost control. That means it's our turn now," Saeko stepped forward and looked at the girls around her.
"Do… do we really have to go? He might crush us with one hit!" Saya was visibly sweating, clearly terrified.
"That's exactly why we have to go," Yuriko said gently, patting Saya on the shoulder.
"You're seriously thinking of going near him? That energy... It's overwhelming. Even I wouldn't survive a direct hit. You girls? Not a chance!" Android 18 shivered slightly as she stared at the Golden Great Ape. The sheer pressure was suffocating.
"But we're the only ones who can reach him… That's what Goku asked us to do," Saeko smiled. "I'll go test the waters first." With that, she activated her flight technique and soared toward the raging ape.
"Goku! Do you remember me? I'm Saeko! Saeko Busujima, your wife! Please—come back to us, Goku!" she shouted as she hovered near the beast's face.
The ape froze, its eyes locking onto her.
"Did it work?!" the girls gasped in excitement.
But before they could even finish their thought, the ape let out a furious roar and swiped a massive paw at her! Saeko barely dodged in time.
"Goku-nii is really out of control! He just tried to hit Saeko-neesan!" Karin gasped, her eyes wide in shock.
