Kira breathed heavily as she looked at the spot where the Supreme
Dark Lord once stood. The massive blast took the majority of Kira's limited
energy, leaving her exhausted. She looked down, battle damaged, injured,
and tired, but never more proud in her entire life. The Saiyans below her
erupted in happiness, throwing their hands out and crying out her name in
unison.
With the last of her energy, Kira descended to her fellow warriors below, where she was greeted, patted, and complimented. Raditz grabbed her in a big bear hug, causing her aching muscles to hurt excruciatingly. He lessened his hold on her, as Kira's elite team came up and mobbed her. Marcus gave her a hard noogie, and Sarra and Malika patted her on the shoulders. Habeus then walked up, and smiled at her. Kira smiled back, and the two embraced in a loving hug.
"That's the way to do it girl," Habeus said during the hug.
They then broke the embrace, and Kira was given some breathing room. She looked over her right shoulder to see that Vegeta was not where he had been lying. He was further down, sitting on the edge of a cliff, with his hand under his chin. His eyes were fixed on the distant sun, which had now begun to set into the western mountains.
Kira left the crowd of warriors after informing them of a feast, and to clean and change into their finest armor. She approached Vegeta quietly, but he knew of the upcoming presence.
"Congratulations I suppose," said Vegeta with humiliation.
"Don't take this upon yourself Sir," she said compassionately. "You could not help what happened."
"It doesn't matter," he said frustratingly. "My Honor, my Pride, taken in a split second. That's all it took. How degrading...to fall into the hands of that Demon! When you were the one to defeat him! Now I will suffer my fate!"
"And what is your fate?" Kira asked looking him in the eye.
"To die here. To fall and die on this cliff. It's the way things must be."
"Only if you give up Vegeta. Only if you make it your fate. It doesn't have to end that way."
Vegeta looked away from the setting sun, and into Kira's crystal, blue eyes. They showed so much age and knowing. Wisdom equivalent to that of an elder. Behind her battered armor, behind the countless wounds and tares in her jumpsuit, was a heart, a heart that carried the emotions and love of a mother, of a caregiver. She seemed to feel the pain, the cries of her loved ones as well as her comrades. A heart of purity, of honor, of pride was beating with every breath she took. She was the needle in the haystack. She was the heart of the Saiyan race.
She stood weakly from her spot next to Vegeta. She smiled at him, and bowed.
"My heart will always be with you Vegeta no Ouji," she said smiling. She then turned around and flew to the Palace slowly.

Kira changed into a set of identical armor and went down to the great feast being held for the Saiyan warriors. They all applauded as she walked in, and she nodded to them and thanked them. She then walked up to a small podium and made a speech to the brave fighters.
"Thank you all for coming tonight," she began. "Today, we announce our freedom from Fridge, the King of Darkness, the Prince of Evil."
At that, the crowd began to applaud and scream even louder. Raditz cheered from the back, along with Kira's crew, who copied.
Kira smiled and began again. "I don't know what we could've done without you and your heroic deeds. You are all truly noble and honorable."
From the back, she saw Habeus nod his head to her.
"Today, we started with 200 of the finest soldiers and warriors I've ever known. I regret to inform you, that half of that number stands before us at this moment. Please take a moment in silence for the 100 warriors who fell today in the battle for freedom."
Everyone bowed their heads and closed their eyes, some muttering a prayer to the gods.
With her head down, Kira heard a noise from her left, and turned around to look. She saw Vegeta walk in, and bow hi head in the same manner as the others. Kira smiled, and broke the silence.
"I would like to continue, by thanking Vegeta for his heroic deed today, in his attempt to fight off the Dark Lord. Please applaud him,your Saiyjin no Ouji. Without him, I don't believe I'd be standing here at this moment. Only honor as great as his could attempt such a deed."
The crowd gave a standing ovation, as this Prince nodded his head to them. He looked up at Kira and chuckled.
"In conclusion, I would like to thank Habeus for his donation of energy to me in my time of need. It takes great courage to step in to a battle so fierce, with the risk of death against you. May the gods bless you for you generosity Habeus."
The crowd turned around and applauded Habeus, who thanked them repeatedly. They then feasted on the enormous meal, and retired for a greatly deserved sleep.
Kira hopped in to a pair of pants, and a dark blue, long sleeve shirt for bed, when she heard a knock on her door.
"Come on in. Door's open," she called.
The door opened, and Habeus stood there in a similar night wear.
"Hey there," he said walking in.
"Hey Habeus, thought you were sleeping," Kira greeted him sitting on her bed.
"Oh, no not yet," he replied joining her on the bed. "I just wanted to thank you for, you know, tonight."
"You deserved it Habeus," Kira replied to him. "That was very generous and brave of you."
Habeus sighed, and smiled. "Say, are you gonna go back to Earth? You know, with your family?"
Kira smiled at him and replied, "I have to Habeus, I have responsibilities there. I love them very much, and I want to stay with them."
"Will you visit?"
"Of course, I'll always return here and see you guys."
Habeus smiled and put a hand on her face. She was so beautiful. He drew closer to her, and Kira did the same. They joined together in a passionate kiss, which lasted only a second. When they parted, Kira was a little confused, it was her first kiss. But she enjoyed it.
"I love you Kira."
"I love you too Habeus."
They kissed again, and Kira embraced Habeus. She then spoke to him softly.
"You will always be in my heart. In my heart forever."
With the last of her energy, Kira descended to her fellow warriors below, where she was greeted, patted, and complimented.
