Year 785
The skies darkened as a cold wind blew all around the mountains. A storm was on the way...The other Z senshi were watching helplessly, as their powers were too weak to help Gohan and the Saiyajin Prince. Any who would try to escape would be killed by the Legendary tyrant, as his powers were now infinitely greater than any warrior�s alone...
" This is it, Vegita thought, this is the end. Vegitan failed, Gohan and I are almost dead and I have only one Senzu left...Hey! Wait a minute! If I... "
Immediately, Vegita swallowed the seed and instantly felt power coming back into him...and more! He got up, turned around, and faced Broli with his usual menacing look as the sky flashed with a lightning bolt and thunder rolled through the sound of the wind.
Vegita: " Even though I was once a proud Saiyajin with the same ambitions as you, Broli, and thought exactly like you did, I am now another kind of Saiyajin, another proud kind! By recovering from your attacks I�ve become even stronger. Broli, I will do everything in my power to stop you! " He charged up to SSJ 3.
Broli: " Pathetic! Even at Level 3, there is nothing you can do, Vegita! "
Vegita: " We�ll see about that! YAAH! "
Vegita started his attack with a dashing punch, which Broli dodged. He followed with a spin kick, knocking Broli down, and he ended with a powerfull knee drop in Broli�s back. Vegita jumped back and readied another attack while Broli got up and more lightning brightened the skies. Meanwhile, Piccolo went to Gohan and carried him back to the other Z senshi. Vegita dashed at Broli once more and started spinning around him at blinding speed, landing dozens of punches.
Trunks: " The Cyclone Breaker! "
But Broli was no fool. He raised an arm and grabbed Vegita by the throat at his first attempt.
Trunks: " Oh no! "
Piccolo: " There�s no way Vegita can kill him. "
Broli landed four slow yet powerfull punches in Vegita�s face and blew him away with an energy attack.
Broli: " ERASER CANON!!!!! " Vegita flew more than a hundred feet before crashing into the ground. The prince got up, though. He wasn�t about to give up.
Vegita (to himself): " Kuso! He�s good. He�s real good. But I�m stronger now. I�ll make it...if I�m prudent. "
Vegita: " Hey! Wash-out! Can�t you do better? "
Broli: " What? You miserable twerp! " Broli dashed at Vegita an unleashed his " Machine gun Shooter ". Dozens of kicks connected with Vegita�s body as the poor Saiyajin Prince tried to defend himself. Ultimately, Broli threw a stronger kick which knocked Vegita down.
Vegita (getting up and smiling): " What was I saying! You did get weaker! Your kicks aren�t as strong as they used to be! "
Broli: " Why you...! " Broli kicked him up and smashed him back down with a piledriver.
Vegita (laughing, looking up): " Even your Hell�s Smash isn�t as powerfull. What�s wrong with you? "
Broli: " Don�t try to bluff Vegita! I know you�re hurt, whether you agree or not. You cannot win. We are of the same blood, Vegita! Join me! "
Vegita: " Don�t push your luck. Even if you conquer the Universe, I�ll never serve you, that I swear! "
Broli: " Vegita! But you will die! It would be a tremendous loss to the Saiyajin race! "
Vegita: " Then...so be it. " Thunder rumbled from the dark clouds.
Broli: " Then die, my Prince! " Broli threw a blazing punch down at him, but his fist only met dirt. Vegita stood a few feet away, his arms folded, laughing, his wicked smile up his face.
Vegita: " Hm hm hm...I told you you weren�t as strong, but I should�ve added that you weren�t as fast, either! "
Broli: " Bastard! " Broli attacked him with a dashing punch. Vegita dodged.
Vegita: " Ha ha ha! I�m one of your descendants, remember? "
Vegita (dodging): " You wouldn�t want to insult your whole family, eh? "
Broli (constantly attacking): " My family is a proud one! You are not part of it! "
Broli attacked faster and faster, and Vegita was having more and more trouble avoiding the hits.
Broli (still attacking): " You, Vegita, are a disgrace to the Saiyajin Empire! "
Troubled by Broli�s words, Vegita was surprised by his next hit and was sent flying. Broli went to him and picked him up.
Broli: " Too bad, Vegita. I�ll miss you... "
Broli: " Well...maybe not! " Broli held Vegita�s collar with his left hand and used his other hand to shoot a point-blank Renzouku Energy-dan at his opponent�s face. After the smoke cleared, the scorched Vegita fell to the ground, agonising.
Broli (looking down at him): " You shouldn�t have tried to bluff, Vegita. You lost your last precious ounces of strength because of this. This is it, Vegita. The finishing blow... " Broli raised his arm, preparing a powerfull fireball, and as lightning lit up the sky again, Broli shot it down...
Broli (looking everywhere): " Where is he? My Energy-dan missed! "
Suddenly, he found him. Vegita was a few meters away, still in great pain, but someone else was with him. That person had somehow saved the Saiyajin Prince just in time. It was a young man with dark skin and a black mohawk. He got up and faced Broli and, at this moment, Piccolo recognized who that was.
Piccolo: " Impossible! It�s Oob! "
Oob (smiling): " Hi, everyone! "
Broli: " Yes, I know who you are. You are Oob, the reincarnation of Boo. How did you get to this timeline? "
Oob: " Through the portal. " Saying this, he turned around and pointed to a bright, blue swirling disk 30 meters away over the Cell Game ring, which everyone had left since the beginning of the battle. At that moment, a shadowy figure appeared in the disk and slowly stepped out.
????: " Enough Broli! You have created too much chaos already... "
Goten: " What!? "
Trunks: " He looks like... "
F.Trunks: " Who...? "
Gohan (weak): " Who...is it, Piccolo-san? "
Piccolo (unsure): " It�s... "
Piccolo: " Gohan! Look! It�s...Goku! "
Gohan painfully turned his head and tried to focus his vision on the man in front of the glowing portal. He was wearing an orange outfit, had long yellow hair and an unforgetable look of determination in his eyes...
...The greatest man to ever fight for right, peace and justice...
Gohan: " Otousan. "
Broli: " Kakarotto. "
Goku appeared in all of the magnificence of Super Saiyajin 3, wind blowing through his long hair, yet unable to disturb the peace and calm emanating from the mighty warrior...
Goku: " Broli. We meet, once again, for the same eternal purpose... "
Piccolo: " Goku! What�s going on? Can you explain? "
Without taking his eyes off Broli, Goku went toward his friends. When he finally reached Gohan, he placed his hand on his son�s head, healing him instantly.
Gohan: " Otousan? " Goku smiled to him and turned toward his mortal enemy once more.
Goku: " There is much to explain, Kamicolo-sama, and I think it�s about time you all learn. "
Goku: " The Saiyajin Legend...is far from what you know... "
At that moment, the disk disappeared and the storm calmed down, as if the both of them had been connected...
Broli: " So...you did come to your senses, Kakarotto. You did turn to Super Saiyajin 4 as well... "
Goku: " The Saiyajin Legend, through time, has been altered, modified from it�s original source. Hear the true Legend... "
Goku: " 2000 years ago, two very special beings were born on Vegitasei. The two beings had power. Great power, that the people of the planet had never seen before. Broli and I were these two people. Broli desired the planet. He wanted to become its leader and spread his tyranny throughout the Universe. He wanted to turn the peaceful inhabitants into barbarians. I discovered his intentions, but did not act immediately. Many brave ones tried to stop Broli from conquering the planet, but were unsuccessfull, which is what led me to decide to try myself to save the people of the planet. I met Broli and we fought for many days. After a very long and difficult battle, I won and killed him, thus saving the planet from this cruel man. Peace returned to the planet and life went on in happiness and freedom... "
Broli: " A thousand years later, though, I was reborn, as well as my arch-enemy, Kakarotto. Once again, I tried to take over the planet, but this time, I was ready. I had discovered the secret of the fourth and ultimate level of power. Using my newlyfound strength, I faced the second Kakarotto and triumphed over him, killing him with this unstopable power I now had. The fourth level of power did something very strange to me. With it, I could remember what had happened in my past life a thousand years before. Since I had discovered the secret to this level I didn�t fear my next life, the one I would have a thousand years later, since I could always go back to the fourth level and remember it. And so, with Kakarotto out of the way, I took over the planet. I renamed it Vegitasei, created the new Saiyajin Order and proclamed myself King Vegita, the first. The people of the planet had changed since the first time we fought. There had been two people, intelligent ones and barbaric ones. At the time we fought, the barbaric ones had triumphed in their war and their violent instincs made it quite easy for me to take control of them. They hailed me as their master, as their god, the legendary Super Saiyajin! "
Goku: " That is why I, the other Super Saiyajin, was never mentionned in the legend. The Saiyajin were driven by the will and wishes of one, so the other was forgotten as time passed... "
Broli: " And so, with the Saiyajin under my control, I soon had a son, which I named Vegita to keep the bloodline alive. After 30 years of reign I went away, as I wanted to take a look at what the Saiyajin could accomplish without me, what destructions, what conquests they were able to make as a race: the Saiyajin race, my race. After 30 years, my grandson killed his father and took over the throne. It went on like this for 33 generations... "
Goku: " ...until we were born once again. You now have the same goal you had a thousand years ago: conquest and destruction. I will not let you win this time, Broli! "
Broli: " You didn�t let me win last time! You were weaker! You were inferior! And I took advantage of that! "
Goku: " ... "
Goku: " I know. "
Broli: " Tell me, Kakarotto, when did you turn Super Saiyajin 4? "
Goku: " While training Oob, I have trained myself, in hopes of constantly improving and I truly did. I went to the next level and understood that only you and I are capable of such a transformation. "
Vegita (healed by Oob): " Kakarotto! If he�s so intelligent, why did Broli act so dumb on Neo Vegitasei? "
Goku: " He was dumb! At that time, he did not remember his past lives... "
Goku: " This is our third meeting, Broli. "
Broli: " We are destined to meet again and again...for eternity, Kakarotto. Nothing can prevent the cycle from going on... "
Goku: " Getting tired of it, Broli? "
Broli: " Not at all. Maybe you should retire, though. "
Goku: " This is my purpose in life and death, Broli. I live only to that end, so it stimulates me to keep coming stronger and stronger. "
Broli: " I improved as well. You lost last time and you�re going to lose again and again...for eternity... "
Goku: " I�ll let our fight be the judge of that. "
Broli: " Transform now, or you�ll regret it! "
Goku charged up. His hair grew shorter, back to SSJ 1 state, but changed to a bright red. His body grew a bit larger and a skin tight red aura surrounded him as his usual yellow aura blazed with even more intensity. Goku yelled out and a gigantic red wave of energy spread outwards from him. Broli blocked it while Oob created a bubble of protective energy around the Z senshi. Goku had spoken the truth: he was a Super Saiyajin 4...
Goku: " Shall we begin? "
Broli (wickedly smiling): " Gladly! "
Broli started the attack powering up a huge fireball and throwing it at Goku, who blocked it while taking minimal damage. Goku then dashed at Broli and attacked with dozens of punches and kicks. Broli blocked them all, unable to find an opening for one of his own attacks. After a while, Goku tried an uppercut which Broli dodged, allowing the evil one an opportunity for an attack. He threw a few punches and kicked Goku away. Stunned by his miss, Goku took all of Broli�s hits and was sent flying, but he stabilized quickly, charging up an energy attack.
Goku: " KAMEHAMEHA!!!!! "
Broli countered with a beam of his own and a power battle began. None of the two fighters seemed to put all of their strength in their beam, though, and the confrontation was going nowhere. Goku cut his beam down and batted Broli�s beam away, creating a huge explosion in the distant mountains.
Goku: " Oob! Make sure to protect our friends! "
Oob: " Of course, Goku-san! " As the battle went on, Piccolo spoke to Oob.
Piccolo: " Oob, what if Broli decides to use us as a weak point for Goku? It�s easy for him to destroy us! "
Vegita: " If you consider yourself weak, Nameckjin, then leave! "
Oob: " Piccolo-san is right, Vegita-san. You are too weak to stand against him, but with me, you have nothing to fear. "
Vegita (insulted): " How come? "
Oob: " I�m far stronger than any of you. I can easily protect you from Broli�s attacks, but I couldn�t face him alone and live. Even if we were able, together, to destroy his body, he wouldn�t die. Only a Legendary Warrior can kill another Legendary Warrior. "
Piccolo: " That�s why he kept coming back. "
Oob: " Exactly. Well at least, he�s invincible when facing us. Goku-san can kill him. I suggest you watch his fight and learn. We all have much to learn from him. "
Meanwhile, the battle was raging between the two Super Saiyajin. None seemed to have a definite advantage. Both of them were obviously equal in strength. Every hit was either blocked or dodged and if one of the two combattants got hit, he came back as strong as before, unbothered.
Broli: " You have improved tremendously, Kakarotto. "
Goku: " Yes. To me it looks as if you have gotten weaker... "
Broli: " Don�t bet on it. Improving is my life! "
Piccolo: " Reminds me of a certain Prince... "
Vegita (still insulted): " What�s wrong with improving? "
Broli: " This fight�ll never end, Kakarotto! In three months we�ll still be fighting here! "
Goku: " Then just give up and let me get rid of you! "
Broli: " Ha ha ha... "
The battle then resumed. Broli attacked with blinding speed, punching Goku several times and ending the combo with a great fireball. Goku was blown away once more and stabilized yet again, proving he could take the heat.
Goku: " Finally, you show some talent! That�s why I�m here for. "
They both dashed at each other, throwing and blocking hundreds of punches until they both went to the air where Goku threw a Renzouku Energy-dan. Broli blocked with an energetic forcefield and countered with his own fireball.
Broli: " SLOWING BLASTER!!!!! "
Goku created a barrier of energy around him, dissipating the blast. He then smiled and placed two fingers on his forehead.
Broli: " What are you trying to do? "
Goku then teleported behind the stunned Broli. He kicked him down to the ground, kicked him back in the air, punched him three times, kicked him back to the ground and ended with a Kamehameha. Broli, who had taken all of the hits, jumped out of the newly made crater, seemingly unaffected!
Broli: " Impressive. How do you call this technique? "
Goku: " Shunkanidou, what else? "
Broli: " Of course. You have learned many new tricks Kakarotto, but I am not out of ressources either. "
Broli shot toward Goku and unleashed a punch. Goku blocked it, but was punched from behind by...another Broli!?
As the original Broli attacked, the other did the same, with as much strength, speed and experience as the real one. Goku was forced to block two attackers until he dashed back and threw an energy ball at the " other " one. The ball went through the copy without any damage.
Broli: " You have guessed, of course, that the mirror technique is an interresting option, wouldn�t you say? "
Goku teleported behind the real Broli and punched him in the back. He then teleported again and again until Broli could no longer follow him. Goku kept punching...and punching...and punching...Suddenly, the clone�s image started blurring. As Goku went on, the image got more and more distorted until it finally vanished. The real Broli dashed back, looking at his now visible enemy.
Goku: " Ha ha ha...Couldn�t keep up your concentration anymore, eh? "
Broli (angered): " Kisama... " Although Broli was hit many times, he didn�t look very bothered about it. He just smiled and prepared another attack.
Vegita: " I have to go help Kakarotto! I can�t let him do it alone! We�ve always been pretty much equal, so I have to show I know how to fight! "
Oob stood in his way.
Oob: " You can�t go. You�re too weak to be of help. Goku-san is the only one able to stand up to him and kill him. You would just get in the way. "
Oob�s words got to Vegita. " I would 'get in the way'?, he thought, How humilating! Oob won�t let me go, and since he�s stronger than I, it�s no use trying. Kuso! "
Meanwhile, Broli was studying his opponent. Goku had gotten better and none of Broli�s previous attacks had hurt him. On the other hand, Broli wasn�t in difficulty either, so he decided to go for a few energy attacks.
Broli: " SLOWING BLASTER!!!!! " Goku teleported out of the way, but was met by Broli as soon as he reappeared. Broli threw a few punches, kicked his opponent to the ground and shot a big fireball his way. Goku took all of it, but he got up smiling.
Goku (smiling): " He he he...You can�t win, Broli. I�m far superior to you... "
Broli (smiling as well): " You haven�t proven it yet... "
Goku: " I�m about to... "
Broli: " Then by all means do so! "
Goku: " Very well... "
Goku: " There are many things you don�t know about Super Saiyajin. "
Broli: " Oh yeah? "
Goku: " Yes. Let me demonstrate that I am truly superior to you physically and mentally. First... " Son Goku reverted to Super Saiyajin 1.
Goku: " ...there is Super Saiyajin 1. It provides a boost of speed and power to its user. Second... " He turned to SSJ 2.
Goku: " ...there is Super Saiyajin 2. A tremendous increase in power, but reduces the user�s speed. Third... " He transformed into SSJ 3.
Goku: " ...we have Super Saiyajin 3. Still more power, speed unchanged and longer hair. "
Broli (ironic): " You truly amaze me, Kakarotto! I just learned so much I think I�m getting a headache! " Goku smiled confidently and carried on.
Goku: " Then, there�s Super Saiyajin 4. Shorter hair then Level 3 and they change to red. A red aura appears around the user. Stronger body, increased speed and the transformation releases a destructive red wave of energy. This is the ultimate level... "
Broli: " Told you so! "
Goku: " ...of the anger mode. "
Broli (puzzled): " What? "
Vegita: " The anger mode!? "
Gohan: " Otousan, what do you mean? "
Goku: " There are many more levels of Super Saiyajin transformation, 9 in all. "
Broli: " ? "
Vegita: " Super Saiyajin 9 !? "
Piccolo: " Go on... "
Goku: " Those 9 levels are split into two " modes ". There�s is the " anger " mode and the " spiritual " mode. "
Vegita (annoyed): " Spiritual? "
Goku: " Yes. " Goku transformed again. This time, his hair changed to the SSJ 1 state, but with a dark purple color.
Goku: " This is Super Saiyajin 1 of the spiritual mode. Mental capacities, as well as overall wisdom are increased. "
Broli: " Big deal... " Goku then transformed repeatedly, going to SSJ 2, 3 and 4, his hair taking the usual SSJ shape, but keeping their new dark purple color, except for Level 4, where his hair changed to dark green.
Goku: " So all the following levels increase knowledge and wisdom even more. "
Broli: " So what? You can�t fight in spiritual mode and we�re equal in power with SSJ 4. You�re not that superior after all! "
Goku: " So wrong you are... "
Vegita: " Four levels in anger mode and four levels in spiritual mode...that�s only 8! Where�s the last level? "
Goku: " The last level... "
Goku started powering up. His body grew larger and his hair grew longer, as long as SSJ3. An aura of white light surrounded him and his body, as well as his clothes changed to a shining silver color. Goku yelled to the sky as a beam of energy shot up from him for about a second. Then, he sent a second beam, wider than the first and finally, the sky received one last beam which grew even wider than the other two. Then, the silence fell, as everyone looked at the " new " Son Goku. He looked just like a silver Super Saiyajin 3...
Broli (panicked): " What...the...? "
Goku: " This is the last level. The combination of power and knowledge, the anger mode and the spiritual mode. This is called " Perfect Saiyajin ". "
Vegita: " Bakana! And I thought I was good! "
Broli (still panicked): " So...much...power! You�re even stronger than Super Saiyajin 4! "
P.Goku: " This is why I am superior to you, Broli. The spiritual mode is a mode of good, love and trust. No warrior of evil could�ve discovered it. The combination nullifies the evil of the anger mode. That is why I am the ultimate fighter of good and justice! "
Broli: " You...will DIE!!! "
Broli: " BANNING ATTACK!!!!! " The energy beam hit Goku head on, and as the smoke cleared, Goku was still standing, unaffected.
Broli: " WHAT!?!? "
P.Goku: " You can no longer do anything against me, Broli. A few minutes ago, I transformed in the spiritual SSJ 1, and since that moment I�ve been storing life energy from all around the Earth in my body. Adding my own power to it, as well as my friends� will be enough to beat you. "
Broli: " NO! I�M IMMORTAL!!! "
P.Goku (to the Z senshi): " My friends, lend me some of your power...please, but not you, Oob. We�ll soon be needing yours... "
Oob: " I know. "
Broli: " NOOO!!! " Son Gohan, Piccolo, Future Trunks, Son Goten, Trunks and Vegita all rose an arm toward the sky, giving some of their life energy to Son Goku so that finally, after more than 20 years, someone could truly be able to defeat the Legendary Super Saiyajin, Broli.
Broli: " I won�t let you! BANNING ATTACK!!!!! "
P.Goku: " Oob! "
Oob: " Oi! " Oob rose another energy barrier around the Z senshi, protecting them from Broli�s great beam of death. Then, Goku rose his own arms to the sky and prepared the energy ball.
P.Goku: " Chou...
Broli: " No...I...failed... "
P.Goku: " ...Genki... "
Broli: " I�ll see you in a thousand years...Kakarotto... "
P.Goku: " ...DAMA!!!!! "
Son Goku shot the ball toward Broli who didn�t even try to avoid it. The ball connected violently with its target and an incredibly huge explosion followed!
P.Goku: " Oob! Let�s do it! "
Oob: " Oi! "
Goku and Oob joined their powers to create a protective bubble of energy around the entire Earth, trying to resist the explosion resulting from Broli�s " death ".
Oob: " Gu gu gu... "
P.Goku: " We must hold on! "
Vegita: " I�ll help you! " Vegita went to them and joined in, adding his own energy to the barrier.
Vegita: " I won�t let you do it alone...Kakarotto! "
P.Goku: " Just...a little...more... "
Vegita (to the other Z senshi): " C�mon! "
Picking up Vegita�s cue, Piccolo, Gohan, Future Trunks, Goten and Trunks used all their available energy to strengthen the energy bubble.
P.Goku: " It�s...working... "
The explosion finally dissipated and the Z senshi terminated the barrier. They all took a few moments to catch their breath and realize their victory.
Year 785
Gohan: " Otousan! You did it! "
Goten: " Tousan! "
P.Goku: " Yes, I did. "
Piccolo: " How did you get here? How did you know? "
P.Goku: " When I became Perfect Goku, I learned many things, like interdimensional movement. I knew what was happening throughout the Universe and other dimensions. When I learned that you were here and that Broli was creating dimensional chaos, I immediately came to help you. "
Goten: " We could never have done it without you, tousan! "
P.Goku: " It really is a sight to see you so grown up, Goten. I�m proud of what you became, and you too, Gohan! " Gohan nodded.
P.Goku: " Well, Broli did some horrible changes, especially to the root dimension where my birth is located, but that�s no big deal. I can arrange that. "
Goten: " You can? "
P.Goku: " Yes, but first... " Goku went toward the two hidden Cyborgs and laid a hand on them. Somehow, they were repaired and reactivated. Then he went to the unconscious Radditz and healed him.
Neo18: " Gee...What happened here? "
Neo17: " I guess Broli�s dead. "
Radditz: " Woah...what happened...? "
Radditz (surprised): " Who are you? "
Neo18: " Hey! That looks like... "
Neo17: " ...Son Goku! "
Piccolo: " You�re right. Radditz, that�s Goku, the one I told you about. "
Radditz: " But...aren�t you supposed to be... " non-existing "? "
Neo18: " Yeah, what�s the deal? "
P.Goku: " I have the power to travel through dimensions, so I came to help. "
Piccolo: " Goku, why is Radditz back on our side? "
Goku: " I know Broli turned him against you, but it was more like a spell than an 'awakening'. I simply broke that spell. "
Radditz: " What? I turned against you? "
Piccolo: " Broli tricked you... "
Neo17: " ...but I got rid of you real quick! "
Radditz: " Sorry for the trouble...I only wanted to be of help... "
Piccolo: " You were. You gave us some precious time when you destroyed his body and you were the one that killed Perfect Cell! "
Radditz: " You�re right! "
P.Goku: " Well, I suppose it�s time to bring you back to your time... "
Goten: " You can do that? "
Gohan: " For real? "
P.Goku: " Of course. I�ll bring you back to where all this began, but without any Broli to face. It�ll be like if you hadn�t come to this timeline. You�ll be back to your original age as well. "
Trunks (annoyed): " Hey! But what about our girlfriends? "
Goten: " Yeah! "
F.Trunks: " Yeah! "
Neo18: " Yeah! " All turned toward her, puzzled.
Neo18: " Well, you know! What�ll happen to me? To us? "
P.Goku: " I see you came to like this timeline. If you want, I can leave you here... "
Piccolo: " No thanks. I hate feeling part of myself when I see Kami-san. We�ll be going back. "
Goten: " But what about... "
P.Goku (giving in): " O.K.! O.K.! I can bring you all back to the time you want. You�ll remember everything and you�ll have your girlfriends and all...
Goten and Trunks: " Yes! "
Neo18: " Isn�t that great, Future-chan? "
F.Trunks: " Sure is! "
P.Goku: " Kamicolo-sama. Vegita. Gohan. For you, it�s easy. I simply have to bring you back. "
P.Goku: " Goten. Trunks. Your wives and children will come with you. "
P.Goku: " Future Trunks. I will make Neo18 come with you. "
F.Trunks: " Ha ha ha! It�ll be a real shock for my mother! "
Neo18: " It had to be that way! We were destined to be together! "
F.Trunks: " ... "
P.Goku: " Now. Neo17. Radditz. Where do you want to go? You don�t really fit in with the others. "
Neo17: " It�s obvious! I�ll go with Trunks and my sister. "
P.Goku: " And you Radditz? "
Radditz: " Piccolo-san still has much to teach me. I will go to his timeline. "
P.Goku: " Alright. Now, you all have to know. This will require much more from me than an ordinary dimensional travel. I�m afraid I will lose my powers and knowledge in the process. I�m not even sure I�ll be able to do it correctly. So, I ask Oob to please help me. "
Oob: " What can I do for you, Goku-san? "
P.Goku: " Would you give me your energy? If you do so, I�m afraid you will lose your knowledge as well. "
Oob: " How come? "
P.Goku: " We are attempting to break the rules of time and space, Oob. This is difficult and unpredictable. Besides, I think I would like to go back to my good old life! "
Gohan: " Are you serious? "
P.Goku: " Yes. I want to go back to you. I miss everyone. "
Oob: " I�ll lose all that I have learned? "
P.Goku: " Well...not entirely. You will retain the knowledge you gained during the three first years we spent on Kemonojinsei, but I�m afraid I won�t remember... "
Oob: " My life is nothing compared to your friends�. I�ll help. "
P.Goku: " Good. Now, everyone! Put your hands on my shoulders and hope for the best! "
Everyone placed a hand on one of Goku�s shoulders and Goku powered up. He looked like he was mentally fighting someone...or something. After a few seconds, he finally oppened his eyes. A blue disk of energy appeared over their heads. Son Goku explained that this was a portal that would send all of them home...he hoped! He levitated, everyone holding on and they all entered the portal at the same time...
Year unknown
Goku, Vegita, Gohan, Piccolo, Goten, Trunks, Oob and Radditz all appeared over the Tenkai. Dende and Mr Popo were present. They were apparently waiting for them.
Goten: " Are we home? "
Gohan: " At least I feel much younger! "
Piccolo (annoyed): " I don�t feel any different! "
Vegita (smiling): " Ha ha! I do! "
Goku: " Why are we at the Tenkai? "
Oob: " Where am I? "
Radditz: " Is this your correct time, Piccolo-san? "
Dende: " Ahem! If I may...? "
Gohan: " Dende! "
Piccolo: " What? You know something we don�t? "
Dende: " A few minutes ago, a strange silver warrior came here and told Mr Popo and I that you would all be coming. He also told me to tell Goten and Trunks that their families were expecting them home...? Do you understand any of this? "
Goten: " Yes! "
Trunks: " It worked! "
Oob: " What worked? "
Goku: " I don�t understand. Last thing I remember I was...where was I? I don�t remember! "
Gohan: " Otousan, I�ll explain later. Right now, we should all go home and take some rest. I missed Videl so much! " Gohan instantly took off and went home, quickly followed by Goten, who went in another direction. Vegita simply walked off the edge of the Tenkai and Trunks went after him.
Oob: " I�m going back home. I�ve been away so long! "
Goku: " You have? "
Oob: " Hope I�ll see you soon! "
Goku: " Training begins tomorrow morning here on the Tenkai. "
Oob: " O.K.! " Oob flew away.
Goku: " Well, so long Dende, Mr Popo. Maybe Chichi will be able to explain what just happened to me...I don�t remember a thing! See you tomorrow morning! " And he jumped off as well.
Radditz: " And where will I live? "
Piccolo: " Well, my home is here, Radditz. Until you find yourself a home, there�s plenty of room here. "
Radditz: " Arigatou. "
Piccolo: " This is Dende, the one that took over my job as Kami... "
Radditz: " Pleased to meet you. "
Dende: " Likewise. "
Piccolo: " ...and this is Mr Popo, Dende�s assistant. "
Radditz: " Pleased. "
Mr Popo (wispering): " Piccolo-san, isn�t he...? "
Piccolo (wispering): " He is, but he�s our friend, now. "
Piccolo: " This is Radditz, my newest student. "
Mr Popo: " Pleased as well. "
Piccolo: " Hey! And look, Radditz! This is my car! "
Dende: " Or at least, what�s left of it...! " Piccolo boiled inwardly.
Gohan quickly got back home. Finally, after so many years away from them, he would finally see his wife and daughter again!
Gohan (opening the front door): " Honey, I�m home and I�m so happy to see you! "
Videl: " Honey, we have guests! Haven�t you noticed the huge spaceship in the backyard? "
Gohan: " Spaceship, right ".
Gohan then thought about the beginning of all this adventure, when Future Trunks had come back from his time. Gohan panicked.
Gohan: " WHAT!? " He rushed to the window, pulled the curtains and saw Trunks� huge dimensional ship.
Gohan (still panicked): " No! Not again! "
?????: " Ha ha ha! Don�t worry, Gohan-san! "
Recognizing the voice, Gohan turned around.
F.Trunks: " Hi! "
Neo18: " Glad you made it as well! "
Neo17: " We arrived safely too! "
Gohan (relieved): " I thought you were coming back to ask us to fight Broli again! "
F.Trunks: " Ha ha ha! Of course not! We just came to see you and tell you we were fine. "
Gohan (referring to Neo18): " Does Videl know...? "
F.Trunks: " Yes, we explained everything. Well, at least, we explained 'her'. "
Videl: " I�m not that dumb, you know! Anyway, I�ve invited them for supper. It�s nice to have some company sometimes. "
Gohan: " You don�t know how many times it came to my mind, honey. I missed you so! I have a very long story to tell you, but first, a kiss would brighten my day even more... "
The End
