Bra shouted with joy as soon as she saw the victorious warriors floating toward Kami's Lookout.
Mr Popo and Dende smiled as they touched down, and ran over to congratulate them. Vegeta
muttered as Bra ran up and jumped onto him, hugging him and crying. Dende and Mr Popo
congratulated Gohan on the victory. Gotenks' fusion wore off and he reverted back to Goten and
Trunks.
As Gohan walked off to see Pan, Piccolo grabbed his shoulder. "Gohan..."
"Piccolo. I'm sorry about what happened. I'm just glad you were there to help."
"It was nice to be able to see you before I have to go."
"I'm sorry."
"It was my choice to stay in Hell and monitor the troublemakers there. Don't bother wishing me
back. I've chosen my end."
"If you had died back there, what would have happened?"
"I would have faded from existence entirely, and I could never be wished back."
"Dammit. I had no idea. Sorry."
"I wouldn't blame you for being ignorant, Gohan. You have achieved a great deal in your life, and
when you die, you will die a legend."
"Goodbye, Piccolo."
"Goodbye, Gohan."
A portrait of two old friends shaking hands as one fades out of physical existence and returns to
the fires of an unbridaled world, filled with pain and horror, yet he has experianced the bliss of
friendship again, and it heals his wounds.
Pan took a washcloth and set it on Trunks' bruised head. He winced. "You'll never get better if
you don't let me help you," said Pan, frowning.
Trunks smiled. "I guess that would be good advice, coming from such a professional at taking
care of injuries."
"Oh, shut up."
Bra ran up to Vegeta. "Daddy! Are you okay?"
Vegeta smiled and hugged his daughter. "Yes, I'm fine. That villain is gone now, and you and
Trunks are safe."
"Great, daddy, because there's something I wanted to talk to you about." She pulled Ubuu over
and locked arms with him. "Ubuu is my new boyfriend!"
Vegeta looked from Bra to Ubuu with a confused expression. "What?"
Ubuu sweatdropped. "Uhh..."
"I love Ubuu, daddy!"
"WHAT?!"
Tenshinhan sat in a chair next to Dende and Mr Popo, staring out into the sirene sky. "Can you
believe it guys? A few hours ago, the world was close to being annihilated."
Dende smiled. "I'm just glad that you guys were prepared."
"So what do you think happens now?" Mr Popo asked.
"I don't know," said Tenshinhan, "but evil never rests. We'll be prepared."
