Episode 70: Restoration

TRUNKS AND MIZUNA


Previously, on Dragon Ball F, Gogeta made a colossal "Spirit Bomb," the size of the Earth, and with it, it finally destroyed the terrifying Megasaiyan. But the planet Earth 2.0 suffered quite a lot of damage, not to mention the casualties. How can our heroes ever restore all that without the Dragon Balls? Find out today on the final episode of this saga!
The rain started pouring harder, but Goku and the others still remained in the open land, refreshing themselves after the fierce battle. After a few minutes, Gogeta started:
-So, King Vegeta...What made you actually change your mind and come and help us?
-As I said before, I grew too fond to this planet to allow for it to be destroyed by some beast.
-Yea, yea, but mind telling us your true reason?-Gogeta asked with a smirk.
-Must you insist, then I guess, there's no point denying it anymore. Very well then...-then he swallowed hard and continued-Should you know, I've decided not to take over this planet, nor the Universe, for that matter.
-What made you change your mind?
-To be honest, it was mainly you...Plus, there's no point in ruling over something if most of my people are against my desire of domination and turned their backs on me as well. Indeed, our race has been given a second chance, and I won't be the one to ruin it. I even found out, that some of my most loyal servants also started doubting my cause, wanting to turn over a new leaf, but never had the guts to admit it. We, Saiyans, have been known throughout the Universe to be nothing but cold and ruthless monsters, putting fear in everyone's souls just by mentioning our names. Of course, we were a proud race, but we had no dignity; therefor, we paid the ultimate price and have been destroyed for our sins. I always thought, that no matter what, we would forever remain the same, but now I see, as time passes, we also evolve from brainless monkeys to somewhat civilized beings. Even before dying the first time, we already started showing compassion towards one another, from our kind at least, and after spending so much time on the Other World, without aging, I guess we had more time to change for the better. But when you, Gogeta, showed me your past, my sons' past, and seeing that even he could be tainted by good, feeling compassion to someone other than himself, even raising a wonderful family, it was then, when I truly started thinking about all this in the first place. You proved to me, that no matter how strong you become, and how much power you have, without someone to care for you and for you to care back, it means nothing.
-Wow, I never saw King Vegeta being so melodramatic before.-Napitz whispered to Bardock-But why am I talking with you? You're not even on our side...
-Don't you see, you moron!-Bardock yelled at him-There are no sides anymore. You either stay a Saiyan and start a new life, or you shall be banished from our kind, and if you pose a threat, even killed.-which made Napitz swallow hard; just then, Gogeta's fusion wore off, Goku and Vegeta turning back to themselves, and right after, Napitz' fusion also wore off, Raditz and Nappa separating from each other as well.
-So, does that mean, no more destruction, no more killing, no more fun?!-Nappa asked pissed off.
-If you want to, we can all shoot a small ki blast at you, killing you for amusement; afterwards, every one of us will rip off one of your body parts, while I'll get to keep your head as a souvenir. How does that sound for fun?-Vegeta asked, laughing hilariously.
Just then, two bright lights appeared on the dark sky, blowing the clouds away, as the rain stopped. The almost blindingly glowing silhouettes landed in front of King Vegeta and the others, whom stared at them amazed, with their mouths open.
-Greetings, proud heroes!-the taller silhouette on the right started, which had a voice of a man-My name is Xas, and this is my wife, Hiera.
-Now, I've seen everything.-Trunks remarked not far from them.
-You mean, you actually do exist?!-Goku asked astonished-That is sooo amazing!
-Of course, we do.-the other silhouette answered, which had a voice of a woman-Who do you think provided the crystals to the races of this planet, to protect them from the violent storm? Which by now is gone, thanks to the Megasaiyan.
-What?!-Tomo Oshi shouted wondered-Did that thing actually got rid of that violent storm and saved our lifes?
-Unintentionaly, but yes, he did.-Xas responded.
-So, how come, all of a sudden, you decided to appear to us, just as the battle ended, huh?-Mizuna asked angrily.
-We apologize for not being able to help you guys out more.-Hiera replied.
-More?-Goku asked confused.
-Well, of course...-Xas started-Who do you think helped you, er, I mean, Gogeta, to be able to control the "Spirit Bomb" in the first place, not allowing it to destroy him? Vegeta is still far from being pure-hearted and normally, that technique would have destroyed both of you, if it weren't for us.
-Gee, I did wonder how on earth, we managed to pull that technique off? To be honest, I really doubted it would work, but when you have no other choice, you also don't have nothing to lose.-then he turned towards Vegeta-Vegeta, what do you say?
-Hmph...whatever.-he growled, folding his arms and looking the other way.
-Now then, let's get back to the reason why we decided to make our appearance in front of you guys.-Xas cut in-You SHOULD feel privileged, as you are the first persons to ever meet us in person. Not that you can actually see us, but you know what I mean.
-Back when the tyrant called Frieza...-Hiera continued-Destroyed your friend, Xaras's home planet, we were so helpless to stop him, that our essence regretfully drifted in space for years. But when this planet has been created, along with the revived race, our souls have also been restored, sort of speak, thanks to your Dragon Balls.
-We then vowed to never let such fate occur to this planet and protect, not just Xaras's race, but the entire race and species, which have been moved here, as well, even at the cost of our..."lives."
-Among others, the violent storm represented the biggest threat, until the Megasaiyan appeared, anyway. Luckily, brave and noble warriors like you, with unbelievable strength and power, came to this planet, saving it from destruction. For that, we shall also be forever grateful.
-Nevertheless, this planet suffered a lot of casualties, along with the planet itself. And after finding out, that such brave, strong, good-hearted heroes exist, and especially seeing that even the mighty Saiyans decided to turn over a new leaf...
-...we decided to give up the rest of our life force and with it, restore everyone and every damage this planet suffered since its creation.
-But won't that mean, you will die, or pass away?!-Gohan asked worried not far away.
-Technically, yes.-Xas responded.
-But our essence will forever wonder on this planet, and even though, we won't be able to help it anymore, we will be at peace.-Hiera added; for a few moments, everyone fell to silence, not knowing how to respond to such a noble sacrifice.
-Thank you, for everything.-King Vegeta managed to bring himself to say.
-And from this day forward, I hear by declare you not just king of all Saiyans, but king of the entire planet.-Xas added-After the planet has been restored, everyone will know about your might and power, and bow down to you. Lead them, with honor!-his last words were, as he and his wife started rising to the sky, surrounding the entire planet with blinding whiteness, after that, disappearing forever.
After a few moments, everyone managed to open their eyes again, and noticed that it was daylight. The sun was once again at the exact spot where it exploded earlier, shining brightly on the planet. The giant craters caused by the ki blasts were no more; instead, the trees, the lakes, the mountains, life itself, has been re-replaced them. The spiky forrest where the "living tree" once was, has also disappeared, filling the place rather with numerous colorful flowers. Goku and the others noticed, not only they were healed again, but their outfit was also restored. To their joy, Trunks and Gohan were able to walk again, while Mizuna rushed into Trunks' arms, hugging him tightly, which made Trunks' face turn red as a cherry, while Gohan laughed at him. All the Saiyans, which died earlier, re-appeared on the sky confused, while Tomo Oshi started filling in Xaras of the occurred events. Even the 60-meter-long anacondas were happy, as their eggs started to hatch.
In Tsufurukan City, more and more Tuffles and Kanassans started appearing at the city's entrance, while Tsufurak ordered with joy for the shield generator to be unplugged forever. Nappa and Radditz were the least persons to be happy, but they had no choice than to start making some changes in their lives, or they risked to be killed. On the Sacred World of the Kais, Kibitoshin's hollow also disappeared, while he and Supreme Kai started jumping with happiness around the crystal ball.
Back on Earth, Pan and the others, already started organizing a party for Goku and the others' safe return. It didn't take long until they arrived too, while many hugs and kisses were in order, for some at least. Of course, the rest of the Z-Fighters were also invited to the party, while Uub happily announced that everyone in his village has been successfully healed, thanks to Mr. Satan's finest doctors. The party had its funny moments too, like when Goten managed to convince Piccolo to drink beer, with devastating consequences; while Mizuna, who auto-invited herself, dragged Trunks with her everywhere she went, making him blush, while the rest of the teenagers laughed their buts off. However, some people also noticed the seriousness in Goku's and Vegeta's looks, as if they weren't quite themselves; they were both distracted and worried about something.
One could only wonder, what other terrifying events await our heroes, especially knowing that Evil is still present on Earth, plotting for revenge and world domination. What really happened to Gogeta's body on planet Earth 2.0? Will the Megasaiyan's and Bardock's vision, of Goku somehow becoming evil, come true? And what other adventures await Pan and her teenager friends as well? Find out, only by continuing reading my fanfic!
