TRUNKS POV
My heart was breaking and has been since I have found out about the death of my Gabby. It was weird not seeing her in the Palace. Whenever I would look to my side it would be empty or filled by someone else like my mother or my sister or any of my in-laws. Or even her brothers. My father was dead, the love of my life was dead, Goku was dead along with Darien and Kayla. The only decent thing I had heard through all of that was the my youngest daughter was alive. I was still in the care of my family, my mother watching intently so I wouldn't cause anymore pain or harm to myself. I almost didn't want to get out of bed anyway. Life just didn't seem have to any meaning without Gabriela anymore. How can my mother be able to do all she is doing without my father? I figured she would be in the same state as I was.
During the battle against the Super Saiyan God, everyone seemed to have lost their ability to transform. Gohan, Goten, Serena, Me, and even Kairavi can't transform. There were more when the God decided on wreaking havoc over the palace, Mariah, Rini, Abigail and Daniela. Without the ability to transform I felt different. This is something that I have had since I was a young boy. A time where Gabby and I didn't get along and I had the ability before she did which it annoyed her to no end. All I can think of was that she was gone...tears were rimming again but I tried to hold them back as someone came in the room. It was Goten. He wasn't as badly injured as I was along with Gohan...looking at Goten made me remind myself how much he and Gabby were alike. I almost wanted to tell him to leave me alone and have Gohan stay away from me as well. They were a reminder that I don't need right now. Looking at anything that resembled Gabby broke me even more knowing she could never come back. I hated to think I didn't want to see my own daughters or granddaughters...the resemblance was just too much right now for met to bear.
"Hey, how are you feeling Trunks?" Goten asked me as he sat on my bed. I looked away from him as I answered.
"What do you think Goten? I just lost the love of my life. How do you think I am feeling?" I snapped. The tears were gone now as I felt annoyance towards Goten for asking such things. He will never understand the pain I feel. Amy was still alive and well as well as his daughter. He will never know.
"Look I get where you are coming from. I was just wondering if you were in pain or something so I can get Bulma or someone else." Goten replied as he brushed off my attitude.
"You will never understand what I am going through until you lose your Amy." I told him. " I would rather be talking to Gohan but that would just be a reminder. I don't want to see any of you." Goten got up from the side of the bed after I had said that and then started leaving the room, before he did he stopped at the door.
"Sure I may not know the pain you're going through Trunks and I never want to do so when it comes to my Amy. But you're not the only one who lost someone that day. Not only did you loose your wife, I lost my twin sister, Gohan a baby sister, Serena and Kairavi, lost their mother. My mother lost her daughter and husband, she's more of a wreak then you right now and Gohan and I are doing our best to make it better. Doing nothing will get nowhere Trunks. I know my twin sister better than a lot of people but I know for a fact that she wouldn't want anyone to act like they are right now. She would be disappointed in you right now." Goten got mad as he said what he did. As Goten was about to leave the room I grabbed one of the pillows in my room, ignoring the pain I was in, I threw it to his head and he turned to me, angry, just like how I was.
"Don't you dare tell me what MY GABBY would want for me!" I screamed at him. We stared at each other for minute as Goten threw it back at me, causing me even more pain. I don't think he cared at all at this point. He left the room after that to leave me alone. Something I wanted all along. I turned to my side in my bed and then I saw something that sent all of those emotions overboard when I saw something on the night stand. It was a picture of my Gabby and myself long before Crystal Tokyo was formed, long before Serena was even thought of. We were just back from our honeymoon in that photo...we had a house in Mt. Poaz, a little farther away from Gohan's family and Chi-Chi. Sometimes from where we were you could hear Chi-Chi's yelling from our house but it was distant and not that annoying. We look so happy in that photo and her smile always brightened my day. It still did even before all of this... Why did it have to be her and not me?
GOHAN POV
I still felt weird knowing that I couldn't transform into the form that I have been able to use for all of these years. Lita and the girls have been doing all they can to try and cheer me up but it just wasn't working. It's not the fact that I have lost the ability but I lost something much more precious to me. My baby sister. She always looked up to me, she did everything I asked of her most of the time unless pressured, she was my mini me and now she was gone, just like my father and Vegeta. Since I was I was bed-written, which was driving me mad, Lita was here taking care of me. Which made it even worse in my mind. I know how I take care of myself and I was grown man, I shouldn't need help in doing the smallest of things. I tried getting up to grab a glass of water but Lita wasn't even letting me do that. I flinched when I moved my arm in the wrong way and this sent her into a frenzy.
"Gohan! You need to stop doing that!" Lita told me as she beat me to the glass on the table.
"I can grab a glass of water Lita it's not a big deal. I just moved wrong is all." I tried to comfort her, but she was still animate on doing everything for me.
"If you even blink you're pain." She remarked with a little bit of annoyance as she handed me the glass.
"Now you're over exaggerating Lita. Are you okay? You seemed worried to." I asked her as I took a sip and tried putting it back on the nightstand, Lita didn't even let me do that. When she was done she sat on the side of my bed as I laid back down. She looked worried and I had a feeling it was about her daughter Leah.
"No, it's Leah. Just like Serena she has been in a horrible depression. She hasn't been able to want to move since she heard the news from Serena. Serena is just as bad thinking its her fault she didn't get to them in time." Lita explained.
"I think everyone will be like this for a while. Trunks, Serena, Leah, me and Goten and Bulma the most. It's weird knowing my sister isn't around..." I trailed as I looked up at the ceiling. Lita laid down next to me, her head on my chest. There was soreness raging throughout my body but this time I didn't mind it. I honestly didn't want her to leave. It helped if she was here, it made the pain of loosing my little sister a little better but never will I be fully healed. No one in the family would be fault healed without her, Vegeta, my father...all of them are gone. Never coming back. All of the ways to do so are gone. The Dragon Balls have been gone for centuries, The Legendary Silver Crystal was gone when Whis destroyed it and Serena's newer one wouldn't work. It was a good thing Sailor Saturn was able to destroy him in a quick flash when she did, if I ever had any chance in fighting him, he would be suffering a long and painful torture and I have a feeling that Trunks would get the most enjoyment out of it. According to Goten, he was in some pretty bad shape. He missed Gabby more than me and Goten combined. I guess it would make sense considering that was his wife, the mother of his daughters...I was happier beyond relief when I reunited with Kairavi and seeing her happy again with Sapphire and her kids. At least she doesn't have to go through the pain Serena and Trunks are going through. At the thought of Gabby again I was wanting to tear up. I stopped myself as I pulled Lita closer to me as we laid in my bed. She never said anything as she just continued to be there for me, not saying a word. That's all I could have ever ask for now. For that reason alone reminded me why I loved her.
KABITO KAI POV
Everything was chaotic in the Crystal Palace after Serena had vanquished the Legendary Super Saiyan God. The Gods haven't had much time to celebrate the defeat since there were certain matters that needed to be discussed and resolved right away. I was on Mt. Olympus again, this time with Elder Kai by my side. He told me he was there so he could watch what I was about to say. I had a feeling he was just being nosy. All of the Gods and us were in the meeting room of the Mt. Sitting in the large round table. There were a few chairs missing. The noticeable one was Zeus' and that is why everyone was freaking out. There had to be ruler amongst the Gods but who should do that job? It would be for all eternity if the person assigned would be subjected to it. They were debating between two people. Me and Serena as Sailor Cosmos. She was the one who destroyed the Super Saiyan God to begin with and because of this they thought she would be an appropriate candidate.
I didn't like the idea of Serena taking on this role. After all of that family had to go through together, they all deserved to be happy and live with everyone together in one place. If that means rebuilding the palace or even finding a new place to live, they just have to be together in my mind. Athena was doing her best to control all of the Gods but nothing was working as they all continued to argue with the other, noise above noise. This was slowly starting to annoy the Elder Kai as he shouted at everyone to be quite.
"WHY DON'T YOU ALL JUST SHUT THE HELL UP?!" he yelled as all of the arguing came to a sudden halt, silence slowly following. Everyone was slowly looking over to us and for a moment I didn't know what to say thanks to him.
"How dare you, you old Kai, you know we have more authority over you right?" Hera snapped.
"No need to be so harsh Hera. This was going a little out of hand." Athena said as she basically thanked him.
"Someone needs to take Zeus's place, there always has to be one!" Ares yelled. "The same rule applied to the current Mistress of the Underworld and it will for this!"
"I still think Serena Luna Shields as Sailor Cosmos would be the best bet. The person that controls the Cosmos, the most powerful Guardian out of all of them." Hermes suggested. I had to disagree with him. Serena has been through so much, she needs to be with her family throughout the rest of her days, that meant Vegeta, Goku and Gabriela. I was going to find a way to bring them back for her and the others. Elder Kai looked to me knowing that I was coming up with a plan against the Gods. He never mentioned anything though. Everyone went silent again as they thought about Serena taking on the position and then turned to me for some reason.
"Kabito do you think you can go tell them? They seem to be more comfortable with you." Aphrodite asked. I looked up at her as I got from my seat and over to her, Elder Kai right next to me.
"Of course I will." I told her, walking out of the room, Elder Kai right beside me. When we were out of the room, We stopped far enough knowing that they won't be able to hear our conversation even if they tried. He was grinning as he asked me what I was about to do, I had a plan for Serena and her family, and that involved everyone together and happy. Like I said before they deserve it after all they have ever been through. I was going to make sure it was going to happen someway somehow.
"Why do I have a feeling you have a plan so Serena doesn't have to do this Kabito?" he asked me as I was about to head down to tell Serena what was going on.
"They need to be happy Elder. Especially after all they have done for their planet."
"I know but Goku, Gabriela and Vegeta are dead."
"Not for long, Elder Kai. Not for too long." I told him as I did my instant transmission and left.
SERENA POV
I just know I can't do anything anymore. I killed the Legendary Super Saiyan but like with most things, it came at a price. My younger sister Kairavi was alive, for that I am happy and it helps the pain to a small degree. But more people that meant the world to me were gone and there was no way for them coming back. Momma, both of my grandfathers, Kayla, Darien...I tried everything I could to bring them back and nothing would work. Not even the Silver Crystals that were meshed into one to replace the other tiny one Whis had destroyed would not work. Now the newly formed Crystal resideds in my brooch, not being touched ever again. I wasn't going to transform into Sailor Cosmos anymore no matter what happens and no matter what people have said.
Darien was gone as well as Kayla. When Darien left with the other three left a huge whole into my heart that went with the others. I still can't believe they are gone. I haven't been able to do anything since I was released from the doctor and that I can do what I wanted to now. I just didn't have the energy. I was tired from crying myself to sleep at night, my body ached still from the battle that I had to fight by myself. I just couldn't think or do anything that didn't remind me of Darien or Momma or Grandpa Vegeta or Grandpa Goku. I would replay the last words he would say to me, even if it was just how to help me with the enemy, it was still the last time I would hear it. I did the same thing when I was talking to Momma to and that would fill my dreams for the night to get rid of the horrible ones. But still the horrible ones would still find a way to my mind without me being able to control it and then I would wake up screaming. Uncle Goten having to come in and hold me till I fell back to sleep. It would normally be him who would fall asleep, I would still be awake by the time he did.
I didn't miss my Saiyan ability like most of the people here would think. I was always conflicted on which side was really me. If I was born a Saiyan princess or a Moon princess, each of them would clash with the other. Saiyans are known for their brutality and thirst for power while the Lunarians were known for the peace and serenity. They never belonged together in one place and I think that is why Queen Serenity wanted to show me the memory she did was too prove the way I was feeling. I hope I never have to get that ability back, I don't want it. All it ever did for this family or for the planet Earth however, was cause chaos and corruption. It made people mad for power, and I already had too much of it when I was reborn in this family to begin with.
I was in my own room, lying in my bed. I could do everything or anything I wanted to now that I was cleared by the doctors and nurses, but I chose not to because of the pain. I couldn't help but miss everyone. I know I have to be strong for everyone else. Be strong for Rini, Trinity, all of my little cousins and nieces and nephews but it was hard thing to do to just get out of bed. While I was lying down, I heard a knock on my bedroom door and the person happened to be Uncle Goten. He wasn't as badly injured after the battle but he was still knocked out by the time the God was destroyed for good by me. He asked if he could come in. I never answered and after a minute or so I think he went away from the door. He never came in. From what I heard from my sister, my father was just as messed up as me with this whole entire thing. He won't get out of bed either, he pretty much kicked Uncle Goten out of the room throwing a pillow to his and he left after that when he realized he wasn't going to get anywhere. If Uncle Gohan wasn't as injured as he was he would be doing the same thing as Goten. Gohan and my father were injured severely and ability taken away too along with Goten. If Momma, Grandpa Goku and Vegeta were around I think they would have gone crazy realizing that. This made the tears fall to the bed even worse as I heard someone enter the room. I was shocked on who it was. It was Kabito Kai! He was in my room in front of the bed as I quickly got up, wishing that I hadn't. Even though I was cleared, I was still really sore from the fight, it could also be the depression but I didn't even really care at the moment. I relaxed some when I realized it was him. It's been centuries since I have seen him, I was teen when I did and he was helping us getting people to go to planet Tuffle when Grandpa Vegeta was possessed by Baby. I can't believe that was the last time I had seen him. I was almost curious as to why though.
"Kabito?" I asked him, defensive's still a little up. I don't know why since I trust him wholeheartedly, I guess my brain is still in some kind of battle mode.
"Hello Serena." he said. "We have a bit of an issue but don't worry, I'm on it." he told me, he acted like he was wanting to leave but I stopped him in time.
"What do you mean problem ahead?" I asked him by getting out of bed and quickly grabbing his arm so he would stay. He looked down to me as I did, I wished I hadn't moved...the pain I was in was awful. "I already killed the Legendary Super Saiyan God."
"I was talking about the Gods. Zeus died in battle so now they need a new person to watch over them. There has to be a person for each duty Serena. Pluto has to guard the space-time door for all eternity as Saturn has to watch the Underworld. Rini for Crystal Tokyo until Trinity and her future husband take over. They were thinking about making you rule them as Sailor Cosmos. A Guardian as a ruler would be the most powerful next to Zeus even without your Saiyan ability. I'm still trying to think about a way to get that back to as well as Gabriella, Vegeta, Goku, Darien and Kayla." He explained. The Gods want me to rule them? I guess it would make sense but I don't want the position. After all I have been through, I think I deserve to live the rest of my days with the remaining family members as much as I can. He also mentioned he could find a way to bring them back, I highly doubt. If my crystal can't do it and there are no Dragon Balls, then what could bring them back?
"I don't want the position though Kabito." I told him as he nodded in agreement. "But how are you going to bring them back? Even my newly formed crystal won't work." I told him.
"The crystal won't work anymore because the portions that came out of you, Rini, Trinity and Kairavi all belonged to the original one that was destroyed by Whis. The crystal also served out its purpose to help you. The Golden Crystal that rests within Trinity is the crystal that would protect the Earth from now on. As for the Guardianship, don't worry about it I have it under control, I have it all under control, I just have to know that you trust me Serena." he asked me as he extended his hand for me to shake, showing him that I did. Kabito was always there if we needed him in the past, he was the one that warned everyone that Majin Buu was wreaking havoc on the world and helped us defeat him before I was even thought of. I know for a fact that I can trust him and that he could get the work done. But for some reason I just have a feeling that bringing back the people that died was not going to happen, no matter how hopeful he could be. I smiled though as I finally grabbed his hand, agreeing to what he was going to do. Whatever that may be. I didn't ask, I just wanted him to go do so now that my curiosity has peeked at his offer of help.
"I trust you Kabito Kai, and thank you in advance." I told him.
"No problem. I have known your family for centuries, after seeing what all of you have gone through, you all deserve to be happy and free for the rest of your days on this planet. I'll be back soon, just don't go anywhere in case the Gods decide to come and retrieve you unwillingly. They won't be happy that I'm doing this." he warned me. I told him I would listen to his orders and then with two fingers to his forehead he was gone as quick as he came, using his instant transmission. I sat back down on my bed and then looked to my nightstand. The nightstand that included my Cosmos Brooch was still there, shining in the sunlight that barely peaked in my bedroom. I opened it up and inside was the Crystal itself. The Legendary Silver Crystal had served its purpose? It protected the people? I don't think it did, people died. Now it won't work because it knows that fact. I thought about squeezing the life out if knowing this but I decided against it as I held it in my hand as the brooch was lying in my bed next to me.
Kabito says that he was going to fix everything. And you know what?
I believed him.
