(Raditz)

"Ah," I stretched my arms, yawning as I awoke from a blissful sleep. It was the first time I'd been free of nightmares in some time, in fact, it may have been the first I could remember since being born in this life that I wasn't plagued by some nightmare. If I'd ever had a nice dream I scarcely remember it.

Still, there was something off, something that caused my heart to skip a beat.

"Hey!" My eyes snapped to my left, finding Gyaku's form peering around an open doorway. My mind wasn't yet awake enough to question where exactly I was or how I got into a nice soft bed. No, I was more preoccupied with the rather horrifying state that I saw Gyaku's arm in.

Gone from the elbow down.

"Wh-" Stopping myself from speaking out, it was like a sharp painful needle was thrown into my eye as my mind exploded with the events prior to this. The Dragon Balls, the fights, the loss. Everything rushed down on like the oppressive might of gravity crushing objects as it neared a black hole.

I took a shallow breath, my throat seizing up as I held back a cry.

"Hey," Gyaku's voice was next to my ear now, a single hand grasping my shoulder back to the bed. "Take a deep, breaths," her voice commanded me and in my shock, I did so. Letting my racing heart come back around to a normal pace. "Good, now what's the last thing that you remember?"

I opened my mouth… but words wouldn't come out. With that question it felt like my chest would burst open to reveal a face-hugger, it felt like my throat had been in a dessert for the last five years and was just ready for someone to build a pyramid.

"P… Peppa's dead isn't she?" It was a dry question, one that was more a statement because I'd already known the answer to that question.

"Yes."

My hands gripped the sheets hand enough that they stained red from the blood pouring from my palms. Anything to distance me from feeling the guilt that ate away at my psyche. I'd do anything to stem this pain rushing through my veins.

"Hey! GAST! GET YOUR GREEN SLUG BUTT IN HERE!" Gyaku was no longer by my side, instead back at the frame of the door, yelling out for the rather stressed-looking Gast. The young boy entered the room with a roll of his eyes though, he seemed to be handling things better than when I first met him.

"You know you've got a green butt too?" he replied, shuffling past her to sit beside me. His hands glowed and bathed me in it like it was the sun of Planet Vegeta. I wasn't sure why I relaxed, why I suddenly became calm… but for now, I'd live with it.

"Hey, you haven't seen it, you don't know that," was Gyaku's rather subdued response. It seemed to two had gotten pretty comfortable with each other since the fight.

"You've never seen mine either!"

"Thank Bojack I haven't, but I have read a book on Namekian Biology."

Suddenly I stood up, the sheet covering my body falling down to the floor like I was throwing a cape off. Looking down I found myself lacking anything but a pair of shorts, they were a nice pair but I'd learned my lesson back in Rygol, full pants are the way to go.

"Whoa," Gyaku's whistled, her eyes peering at the pecks of my chest. "I thought you were seven? God, you saiyans are ripped."

"It's normal for our biology," I replied, swallowing whatever was in my mouth suddenly "I mean… my biology," Not capable of stopping the sigh that came from me next, I turned to find a pair of pants and a some kind of green sleeveless top on a chair next to the bed. "Do you mind leaving, I need to change."

My stomach growled and the air grew thick, I turned to two who were now just staring at me with wide eyes.

"When you're done, I've got some food outside," Gyaku's thumb pointed backward, to the outside of this hut. "It's from my supply but I've read up on saiyan appetite, so there's enough for you."

The two left at a slow pace, keeping their eyes on my form even as I sat back on the bed and picked up the pants given to me. They were also a green color, matching with the top, which I couldn't remember if that was a good thing in terms of color clashing.

It was only when I couldn't feel their eyes anymore. It was only then that I let myself weep. Weep for everything that had gone wrong, weep for everyone that I'd gotten killed, for everyone that I've failed.

Weep for the friend marked for the rest of time.

I exited the room with a powerful step, or at least something that felt like a powerful step to me, my eyes taking in all the faces that were staring at me with open wonder, I couldn't help but feel really uncomfortable under it all.

"Over here, Raditz," Gyaku's voice called me towards a massive table, full to the brim with food. Mostly things that were freshly cooked, some rice and the like. Sadly no meat but given that Gyaku had been traveling, it was to be expected.

This was the food that she was eating as she was traveling. Meat would go off quicker than a lot of other options… at least I think?

I sat down beside her, my legs folding under me, and grabbed a bowl. It was only after staring at the food for the next ten seconds that I started to chew down on the rice set out in front of me. I chomped down on it like any saiyan would… especially given that I was really hungry.

Only after a minute did I stop, because there wasn't anything left.

"Bwaaaap!" Letting out a burp so massive that the table shook and the air lashed out. "That felt good… "

That was when I notice the people staring at me again, it was starting to get on my nerves. But I wouldn't do anything about it, I just lacked the energy right now to do so. It was like someone had sucked the joy out of me, leaving me a hollow husk.

I leaned over towards Gyaku, who was in the middle of glaring at the stump of an arm she had.

"Hey," I whispered, my voice kept but I knew it mightn't be enough. So as the girl turned her eyes towards me, I nodded my head and metaphorically threw my eyes at the staring people, mouthing out 'What's with this' to her while wearing an expression of confusion.

"Ah," Gyaku's eyes widen, her face flushing while she mumbles something under her breath.

"What did you say?"

"I said," she swallowed, her eyes finally meeting my own. "I may have told them what I saw, it might have lead to them all… being in awe."

"They think I'm cute?"

Slowly as the expression on her face changed from sheepish to annoyed, I realized my mistake. Sadly it was too late to take that back now, better let her air out whatever she was thinking before we continued.

"Don't play dumb," Thankfully, Gyaku wasn't the most perceptive of people or she'd realize that I don't play dumb, I just associate words together in weird ways. That was when our conversation took a turn for the serious as Gast decide to speak up for the first time in awhile.

"Raditz," Gast spoke, his voice drawing me to the other side of the table. "I'm sure that you… don't want to think of this but have you thought about the Dragon Balls?"

I took a breath, my eyes falling to my hands as I considered my options… or rather my lack of options. There was only choice to make since there was only one wish left and I distinctly remember making that deal with Guru.

Peppa would come back, Dad wouldn't.

Two lives dead because I didn't step up in time.

"No more," The words were said so suddenly it was like I didn't realize that I wouldn't just think them. I'd be saying them. Gyaku and Gast, the two jumped slightly surprised and confused by what seemed to be the first words that I'd spoken in ten minutes. "I've one wish left, so get the balls."

"Actually you've got three," Guru's voice spoke, his deep timbre filling me with enough rage that my body shook and in an attempt to express it in a way that didn't end with an elder dying, I slammed my fist on the table, breaking it in half. "I see you don't take surprises well."

"No… it's not like we need a table," Gast's dry voice brought me back to a sense of normality. "Not at all, just break it, it's not hard to replace at all."

"You made it with magic," was Gyaku's equally dry response.

"Hey, tables like that don't grow on trees," Gast waggled a finger at her, Gyaku's peeved expression bringing a whiny laugh out of my throat. The screeching noise drawing rather dour looks from the crowd around us.

"Humor is good," I shook my head. "Humor's just what I fucking need right now, thank."

"You're welcome," he told me, with a sad smile on his face. It was the only thing that told me that he wasn't enjoying this. "It's my coping mechanism."

Some sort of sob, laugh mixture came out of my mouth. It went as far as to bring the tears back to my eyes but with my forearm, I wiped them off my face.

I stood up from the ground, letting some of the shattered table flecks that had gotten on me fall to the ground while I turned to face Guru. It was an odd sight, seeing him standing in front of me, part of me hadn't really thought just how massive he truly was. Guru stood at around 10, maybe 12 ft tall.

Which made him about four of me.

"The massive elder, finally off of his ass," I clapped my hands together. Displaying more a more aggressive sort of energy than I had ever felt before. "Tell me, do you just get ass ulcers from sitting on that throne all day and decided to take a stroll or are you just going to stand there and wax off some wise quotes about pain or some sort of shit making me stronger!"

Even without seeing it, I could tell that my face was heating up, that the rage I was feeling was coming out of my body.

"Hey!" Nail stepped up in front of me, his weird neck scarf just annoying me. "How dare you, show the Grand Elder the respect he deserves!"

Opening my mouth to speak, I stopped myself, knowing that what I wanted to say wasn't a good idea, it made me really think about it, it made me really look inside myself and realize that my anger was misplaced, that I couldn't just take it out on this poor fat giant man.

But I would anyway because it would make me feel better!

"You're right, I should be showing Guru the respect he deserves," I held a finger in the air, waving it around like there was a plate of food sitting on the top of that finger. "The respect the fucking ass deserves!"

Turning around, I dropped my pants and bent over… yes, that's right. I just mooned Guru.

There was nothing but silence as I pulled my pants back up and turned back around to my original position. I cast my eyes around the area, searching the flabbergasted faces of the Namekians around me, Gyaku was laughing hysterically at all this.

"Yeah you're amazing," Gyaku said once she calmed down. "But this is just going to get better."

"Wh-"

"Why did you just show us that area?" Nail asked me, a puzzled expression overtaking his annoyed one from before. This, of course, caused Gyaku to suddenly tip over from laughing too hard.

"I-ha-he-I-ha-I-can't-ha," Her single hand banging off the ground in an attempt to tide over the laughter by wasting her energy on banging on something.

"Let's just move on," I sighed out, pinching the bridge of my nose. The anger i'd been feeling drained and a part of me couldn't help but be glad that these people apparently didn't know what Mooning was. "What do you actually want with me?

"Hehahahaha!" Guru's booming laugh washed over me, causing me to be more annoyed at him now than anything else. "If that is the worst you have for me, then I'm happy to get off lightly. I just wanted to inform you personally, since you asked me to stay out of your head, that since you killed Porunga, bringing him back will mean a reset on wishes."

"You… you… " I suddenly couldn't breath, my chest felt like it was being both compressed and expanded but I worked through to speak once more; "You mean that i-"

"You get three wishes, yes," Guru told nodded his head slowly while waving his arm. The golden spheres of power, in all their star-studded glory, floated on by him, landing them all beneath my feet. "Feel free to summon him now, you've more than earned it."

"Gast!" I yelled out, causing the young lad to come to my side. "You up for translating?"

"Ready and waiting," Gast replied, his face blooming with a smile. "I think I can guess you-"

"Wish your brother back first," I interrupted up, frowning as I did so.

"What bu-"

"She's the second wish, just go ahead. I told you that I'd get him back for you, didn't I?"

Suddenly Gast wrapped his arms around my torso, gripping in one of the tighter hugs outside of Peppa's own that I'd ever felt in my life. I could feel wet drops of tears start to fall on the material of my top. I returned the hug but lightly pushed him forward.

"Do the honors."

"Porunga!" He yelled while I could in the corner of my eye, Guru's blooming smile. Just as it happened the last time, Porunga was summoned from the Dragon Ball in a burst of lights and the darkening sky. Just like before, Gast spoke his native tongue and granted the first wish.

Before he could ask for the second one, the wish I wanted most of all, I placed my hand over his shoulder.

"Tell me the words for wishing her back? I asked him, Gast's face lighting up in surprise before he said the words, I repeated them, once, twice, and kept doing so till I could speak the words, even if I had an awful accent when saying it.

I said the words and Porunga's voice did its thing, his eyes glowed red and a bright light shot out of one of the huts a few meters away from us. After that, there was a scream, one that caused a smile to cover my entire face, caused rain to drip out of my eyes.

"Dish!" She came out of the hut, running while she was wearing some odd Namekian outfit, complete with the dumb scarf. "Someone's stolen my clothes and dressed me in this… evil outfit! When I get-"

Without even thinking about what anyone would think, nor really caring, I fucking teleported next to her. Picking her up in my arms, I put her into the hardest hug that I've ever initiated in any life. I could feel the tears dripping down my cheeks and landing in her hair.

"Well-" I heard her giggle, a sound that caused me to laugh. "-if this is how the outfit makes you react, I'm keeping it."

"Yeah, maybe you should," I was smelling her hair now that I was this close, sniffing the fragrance… it was disgusting and smelled like blood. But that was Peppa for you, never heard of a bath that could rid her of that smell.

"And your last wish, young Raditz," Guru interrupted the reunion with a warm voice, but ti still brought a frown to my face.

Before I could show any displeasure there was a rather energetic response from a certain young girl. One that brought a smile only she could.

"Hey! We're having a moment here! Try and have some decorum!" Peppe shook her fist over at the rather surprised expression that crossed Guru's face. "Fucking old people, when will they learn some respect."

"I know, the guy is an ass."

"Language, I'll Gine!"

We stayed like that for a while, I'm not really sure how long, maybe a minute, maybe ten. Until Peppa decided to let go first, much to my surprise, dropping to the ground and bringing me back over to the rest of the group, my feet dragging across the ground.

Once there, I let go of her, my cheeks inflamed with embarrassment. Out of the edge of my vision, I could make out Gyaku's eyes rolling and I could see Gast scratch the top of his head. Well, now that I've gotten that out of my system, it was time to end this little adventure.

"Gast," I walked to him and whispered the next wish into his ear, making sure not to let any of the girls hear me. Gast turned his head to me, casting a glare at me for daring to go for this wish. While I was at this, Peppa started to poke and prodded at Gyaku's missing arm, causing the girls to focus on arguing rather than what I was doing. "It's what I want to be done, I'm a man of my word," My eyes fell on Guru's form, Nail was back glaring at me from beside the man. That boy needed a hobby. "I'll always do what I promised."

"I think it's an excellent idea!" Guru spoke in favor of my plan. Much to my own vexation, if this old fart thought it was a good idea then I might need to re-think this. "Kills two birds with one stone as they say on Earth."

Sadly I never got the chance, Gast yelled something at Guru, cutting me off from saying anything. Guru's reply cut off my next attempt, furthering my annoyance.

"I-"

But once more, I was cut off. This time by Gast, who turned and screamed at Porunga in Namekian. With those words spoken the Dragon's eyes glowed a dark red, and in one single moment there was an explosion of light, not just from the Dragon Balls but from Gast and Gyaku as well.

All of them vanished.

"Hey," Peppa piped up. "Where'd they go?"

"I'm about to find out," I replied, turning my attention back to Guru. "Was that close to the wish I wanted?"

"With some… amendments. He wanted to make sure that the girl behaved," Guru informed me, crossing his fingers together as the elder formed a chair beneath him with magic powers that I'd never known he had. "And I agreed since young Gyaku has done some damage during her stay here. Though she did come through in end."

"Fine, that works well enough," I chewed on the top of my lip, letting the sensation fill me with a sense of ease. "We'll be on our way now, I have some things to change back home."

"Am I the only one that doesn't get what just happened?" Peppa blew up, her voice somehow gaining that nails on a chalkboard screech. Her finger jabbed at my chest. "Where did they go?"

"To get the Earth Balls, with those Gyaku can wish back her people," I informed, causing a frown to appear on her lips. "I know that it's dangerous but consider that once we get back to the other saiyans, we can check in on the resurrected Herans, make sure that they behave."

That brought a smile to her lips.

"Oh, I hope they don't," Peppa skipped up and down slightly, the excitement that raced through her body bringing me comfort in the decision that I'd made. "With Freeza dead, that old hag done with… oh, it's going to boring."

"Freeza's brother?"

"Ah, we'll kick his arse in the re-match," Her arms came around my left one and Peppa started to drag out of the village, toward where parked our ship when we landed. "That fecker's all elegance, we've got youth on our side."

"What about Freeza's dad?"

Before my best friend could address that idea, Guru's voice yelled over to us, over to me specifically.

"Young Raditz!" I stopped in my tracks, turning my head around just to see his face smiling at me. "If you don't mind me asking?"

"What?" I replied, feeling more tired than I'd ever felt… emotionally I mean. "Just ask, I want to get out of here."

"What's it like to be Super Saiyan?"

Peppa's arm let go of mine, her eyes glazing up at me with stars while her mouth became such a big smile that the joking would be asking to stop being so happy. She squealed, hugging my arm once more, and asking me if it was true.

"Yeah, it is," I told her, my voice soft as I remember the power that rushed through my veins, as I remember the rage that overtook my body.

"And?" Guru's voice intruded once more. "What did it feel like?"

"Hell."

(Planet Vegeta)

Of course, there was one wish that Raditz had forgotten about. One that slipped his mind after the long growling fight with Yoko… and that was the restoration of his Homeworld, the Planet Vegeta. From the sky to grass, from the desert to the cities. The once so-called ruby of King Cold's empire had been restored to glory.

In fact, it was in better shape than it ever had been in the last thousand years. Though, this was an issue due to the rather limiting fact that this brought back the planet's effect on gravity. The sudden regain of mass in the solar system lead to some odd cosmic effects for this system but that was nothing compared to what will happen elsewhere because of its return.

See a body floated high in the place the world's sky used to be… meaning that before restoration it was in space, unable to move, frozen stiff by the cold of space. But once Planet Vegeta was brought back, the body fell into the world below.

Gaining friction and heating up along the way, eventually smacking into the restored spaceport of the planet. The resulting crater was only so small because the body that hit the surface had so little weight to it. But it did make it all the way to where the ships were located. The ships that were also restored by Porunga.

A charred hand, the muscles, and skin shredded to pieces rose up and dragged the body attached forward. With each passing second getting closer to one of the saiyan pod ships that were housed just meters away.

With the same arm trembling as it pressed the release button on the pod door, the sight of the hatch opening covering up the very relieved sigh of the broken man the body belonged. Letting him crawl into the ship with the same pace a snail might.

"Please state your destination?" The computer's limited AI asked him. It was then that the broken body coughed out a reply;

"Cold Planet 1."

(Saiyan Beta-Site: Elery)

"And this will be your room." Elery held onto her youngest son's shoulder, the boy barely even reacting to his mother lightly pulling him into the room. "Where you'll sleep and li-"

"When can I go back home?"

His dull, dry tone sent a chill down her spine. Elery's hands let go of her little boy, transforming into fists that caused her entire left arm to shake in barely concealed rage, her eyes closed shut tightly while Tarble's face was turned away from her.

"I told you," But Elery kept her voice low, gentle and soft, she even went as far as to bend down so their eyes could. "Home is gone, we're still looking for a new one. It'll just take some time."

"No," Tarble's voice quietly spine out, his tone acting like a dagger through her heart. "Not Planet Vegeta, when can I go back to Tech-Tech, back home."

She swallowed, taking all the sorrow that was building up inside her and shoving back down. It was Tarble's eyes more than anything that broker her, it was that empty expression when stared at her, like was some stranger that stole him from home.

At that moment, Elery never hated anyone as much as King Vegeta.

"I'm home, wherever I am, that is your home," Elery ran her hand through Tarble's dark locks, sighing as she stood up once more. "I've some business to deal with, Broly should be along shortly to play a few games with you… " she trailed off as her foot hit the doorway, her eyes looking back at Tarble as Elery barely held back tears. "I love you."

Silence was the only reply that she got.

(Saiyan Beta-Site)

They'd been moved to the Beta Site a few weeks ago, this was the last spot before they'd move to the new world with the Rygolians, a stop-gap measure meant to tide things over in terms of secrecy and defense… and when you're dealing with planet busters, the best defense is having your location known by the fewest people possible.

"My Queen!" A saiyan wearing a lab coat came running out of the control center. His greying hair still long and flowing in the breeze. "We've managed to detect a ship coming right for us! It will be here in a few minutes at the most."

Elery growled, walking up closer to the man and grabbing his coat around the collar, picking the man up. All the pent up rage she'd been feeling earlier was ready to be let loose at a moment's notice. The Saiyan Queen may have been unwilling to take out her feelings on her kids… but she was more than willing to do so on dumb-ass workers.

"Why am I only hearing this now?" She roared. "Our detection system should've warned of their coming days ago! How did they get past it?"

"Ehh… that's because they had the codes… your majesty."

Elery dropped the man like a rock onto the ground, dirtying his white coat and even going as far as to kick more dirt on top of him. Then the Queen let out an explosive sigh, one that rocked the man's eardrums with how powerful it was.

"Tell me… why didn't you open with that?"

"Ehhh…"

"Are you even a real scientist?" she asked, half-joking about it. Elery decided that it was about time that she moved on from this man, not expecting the guy to say anything else her feet started to bring her towards the temporary setup spaceport.

"Ahhh… no."

Elery stopped, her left foot frozen in mid-air as she slowly turned to stare at the now shivering man on the ground, his head was gazing down in shame.

"What!" her roar was heard all over the planet. "Why the fuck are you wearing a lab coat then?"

"It was cold."

Taking a deep breath, Elery decided that it wasn't worth it. She instead continued her way over to the spaceport, where Bardock's old crew were waiting, along with that fool Paragus. Their current leader, Toma stood there with a massive grin, like the on-comers were people that he knew.

Which meant he was using his ki sense to tell the on-comers' identities.

Slowly Elery let her own senses focus on the ship. Her eyes blow wide open at what she was feeling.

"It's Raditz and that girl?"

"Yup," Toma grinned at her, it was a smile that told Elery that he was excited about their return. That he wasn't sure what it meant for their current situation now that Bardock's heir had arrived. "And they've gotten a lot stronger."

"I can't tell a difference?" Elery was doubtful of that, and even if they had it wouldn't make a difference to her plans. She'd already improved far more than she thought possible, at least five times stronger than the last time the duo had seen her.

"Then maybe you should spend less time in the gravity trainer and more time training your senses."

The glare the man received would usually only be the start of things, but fortunately for Toma the ship with Raditz and Peppa slammed down into the landing space like a rhino coming into a China shop. The door opened with a slight click, snapping on to the ground and creating a ramp for the kids to walk off.

"Chh," Shugesh held his laughter back at the sight of the pair. "What are ye wearing, you look like dancers."

"I didn't want to know your type," Raditz replied, his hands grasping at the green top he was wearing and throwing to the ground. "If my clothes bother you so much I can take it off, but I didn't think you wanted people to see how the seven-year-old child has a better body than you."

"Ohhh," Fasha grinned, her elbow crashing into Shugesh's stomach. "Kid's just as mouthy as ever."

"And where have you two been?" Elery demanded, stepping forward with confidence.

"You know, around," Peppa shrugged, smiling up at the older woman with an innocent expression. Which was a mistake… because no one trusted a saiyan that used those. "Seeing some sights, getting some training in. How about you, done anything these past few months?"

"I've been workin-"

"Good, I'm taking charge now, got some changes to make around here. Let's make this a peaceful exchange of power," Raditz told her, walking by the Queen without a single concern for the glare he was being sent at the time. Elery let her power flow out of her body, raising her level to heights that the kids shouldn't be able to deal with. "Neat, but how about we stop pussy-footing around."

"What?" Elery replied, surprise littered throughout her body. "What do you mean? Tell me you think that you stand a chance against me?"

"For one, you don't stand a chance against Peppa," he clicked his fingers, and the girl grinned, bending her knees and let her power level raise. The ground shook, pebbles and loose materials rose in the air like the planet itself was afraid of such a power.

Then it stopped and all the floating objects dropped.

"W-w-what!" her eyes felt like they were popping out of her head, even Bardock's team, plus Paragus, could do naught but stare at the little girl whose power level surpassed all of theirs combined. "But that couldn't be possible… is she-"

"Oh, I'm not," Peppa's grin became ravenous, a single fang peeking over the edge of her lip as her eyes turned to Raditz. "Dish, shall you?"

There wasn't a word for what happened next, there wasn't a sound made by anyone as Raditz copied the same motions that Peppa had done earlier, with similar results from the young girl previously but only this time? It went on for longer, the power grew more. Soon physical changes started to go along with this, Raditz's hair shifted upwards, this color brightening till it had gained a yellow color and golden hue.

"In case you were wondering," Raditz started, his eyes full of such raw anger that none were even sure this was the same person as the kid they'd all seen just a few short months ago. "This was the second thing. I'm a Super Saiyan."

"ALL HAIL THE KING!" Toma suddenly roared, dropping to a single knee. "All hail, King Raditz."

It started slow, kneeling and chanting at first only coming from the teammates of the late Bardock but then it spread. It spread from Paragus, who sent the once more former Queen a cruel smile, to the random passerby whose eyes fell upon the might of the Super Saiyan.

"I can't believe my life."

Elery griped.

(?)

"Your Majesty!" A young man yelled, his suit's only noticeable mark being a sideways Z with a period above. "We've received an urgent message!"

His hand bounced on a bathroom door, not ready to enter the room even with the urgency. After knocking and getting no answer, he knocked once more and much harder. In the young man's other hand, sat a tablet, the text of a message being seen on the screen.

It said, call holding.

"Who's it from?" Came a voice on the other side of the door.

"It's from… the Saiyan King, sir!"

There was a sound from the bathroom, the sound of a person slipping on the floor. Before the young man could even react to that noise, one that brought no small amount of concern for his ruler, the door opened.

"This I need to know," One of his tentacles went out and took the tablet from the young man's hand. Placing it to the part of his body that could hear it best. "Hello?"

Author's Note: Sadly this is where we leave it for now. I've been writing this story for a while now, been over a hundred thousand words or so since I've come back from that few months break and so I am taking another one. I'm not sure when I'll be back to this story but know that I've got it all planned out.

Consider this the end of part 1 or the next part the Shippuden of this story. There will be a time-skip but I also plan on a side-story to fill in what four characters are doing on a certain blue Planet, and a story starring Elery but that one may or may not happen. It depends on my muse.

The reason I call this the Epilogue is that it works a clear cut off point in the story, I'm not sure if I will start story for the sequel or if I'll just continue on from here. We'll see what works, the next story, in that case, will be something like a "Royal Course!"

There's still a lot of plot threads that need addressing and they will be addressed in the future. I haven't forgotten about them, they're just not happening yet. I also know that some will be annoyed with how Raditz didn't make a wish for himself or just say fuck Guru and wish Bardock back alive anyway.

Some of you might be annoyed that he used a wish on Gyaku. Which could've been a mistake but Gast had that covered, there's several add-ons to the wish that you wouldn't expect. Things that will keep Gyaku inline on Earth.
