Author's Notes: I know this is very different from DBGT. I meant it to be. This is how I would have done it if I had been working on Dragonball GT. You will notice many differences between this and the series and I hope you enjoy it.

In the End

Part 2
Marron yawned loudly before settling back into the cushioning of her swivel chair. Glancing at the digital clock on her desk she noted that the time was around 12:15 in the morning. Standing and stretching to loosen stiffened muscles she began to put papers and folders away.
'Maybe I'll get lucky and be needed in the lab and I can just leave the rest of this paperwork with Trunks,' she thought as she headed out her office doors. She really didn't want to get stuck finishing it tomorrow.
Marron had begun working for Capsule Corp after she had finished college. She was useful enough to Bulma to be pulled away to the lab to help with whatever new experiment was in progress. She would much rather be in Bulma's lab working her way through tough equations and designing a better way to encapsulate houses or training, which she hadn't gotten to do much of late, then to sit in her stuffy office working her way through budgets and contracts.
Since Bulma had retired from the presidency of Capsule Corp to spend more time in her lab inventing and working on her experiments and various other projects Trunks had taken over her vacated chair. He hated paperwork as much as Marron but she would be quite happy to give him hers to do if she could think up a reason for it. She was one of the company's vice presidents and, when needed, Bulma's personal lab assistant.
Walking into the elevator she punched the button for the bottom floor. She leaned against the back of the elevator and yawned again. She was going to have to stop working the late nights. Then again what else was she going to do with her time? She knew why Trunks wanted time off. Dende knew she heard every reason why he needed free time whenever she spoke to Pan. Her other two best friends were also dating each other so it would be pretty uncomfortable to go to a movie with Bra and Goten and they end up spending most the time making out in the back of the theater. Again.
When the elevator reached her floor Marron shuffled out and into the lobby. 'All I have to do is make it to my apartment. All I have to do is make it to my apartment.' She was startled awake when she saw the president of Capsule Corporation sprawled out in a most undignified position in one of the chairs set aside in the waiting area. Trunks had one leg tossed over one of the chair's arms and one arm across his eyes. His other hand fell to his side still clutching a briefcase. He was so out of it she would have been worried that he was dead if she hadn't already heard his snoring. They were the only people still in the building except for security so he wouldn't have to worry about losing face when he woke up at least.
Stifling her giggles Marron decided to have some fun with her friend. She walked over to the secretary's desk and picked up a binder. She then walked over to his body and promptly hit him over the head with it and yelled at the top of her lungs.
"TRUNKS WAKE UP! YOU HAVE TO GET TO WORK!"
Trunks shrieked and fell out of the chair shouting. "I'm up! I'm up!" He sat on the tiled floor blinking for a few seconds before he finally scowled and turned to glare at Marron who was using one hand to hide a grin. Eventually she lost the struggle and doubled over laughing.
"It wasn't that funny," Trunks said angrily from his position on the floor.
"You…didn't see…it…from here," Marron replied between giggles.
Shaking his head Trunks hopped to his feet and dusted off his suit before looking at the now apparently sobered Marron. The shaking in her shoulders gave her away though.
"You're hysterical," glared Trunks.
"Am not," Marron said with a grin. "I'm in perfect control."
Letting out a long-suffering sigh he began rubbing his eyes with his thumb and forefinger. Trunks looked back at the blond at his side. "What time is it anyway?"
Marron attempted to read her watch but after the second time the numbers blurred together she gave up and just shoved the wrist wearing the watch in front of Trunks's eyes.
"And you're just now getting out of here?" he asked suspiciously after pulling her wrist away from his face so his eyes wouldn't cross when he tried to read it.
"Yeah I pulled another all-nighter," Marron answered, biting back another yawn that threatened to escape.
"Well you know mom always says to come over anytime you want," Trunks suggested as they started out the door. "You could just crash in one of the guest rooms."
Marron thought it over briefly before agreeing. She was too out of it right now to trust herself flying home or staying awake behind the wheel. After reaching the house Trunks went to his bedroom after saying goodnight and Marron went in a different direction to one of the spare rooms she usually used.
Tossing her suit into the closet she reached into her dresser for some of the spare nightclothes she kept there for nights like these and changed before collapsing onto the bed. She was asleep before her head hit the pillow.
*~*~*
In a cellar far away from the city a figure moved through the darkness carefully. Things dwelled here that would not take kindly to being disturbed and he did not wish to be on the receiving end of their anger. He was wearing a cloak that made him nothing more then another shadow. The hood he wore over his head hid his face from view.
In this prison of shadows and shades was the answer to his quest for world domination. Soon he would rule and everyone that had claimed him insane and taken away his titles would grovel at his feet.
Running a hand untouched by age over the lid of a wooden box he whispered the word, "Soon."
*~*~*
Bra flew home as quickly as she could, keeping her ki down in hopes of not attracting attention. It was past one in the morning and she was out far to long after her curfew to get off with just a reprimand. This would end in grounding no matter how much she pleaded and she knew it.
'Damn it why the hell did I have to spend so much damn time with Goten?!' she demanded of herself. She already knew the answer to her question so she just continued to curse her own stupidity under her breath.
That night she and Goten had had a date. As usual she had to practically sneak out to meet him since her father didn't like 'some brat of Kakkorat's' near his little girl. It didn't matter that she was now 16 and more then capable to make her own decisions. She was still the baby of the family and that title wasn't going away anytime soon. She and Goten had been dating for more then a month now and her father had hated the idea since the get go while her mother had talked about what a cute couple they made. It was times like those that she realized just how weird her parents were.
On this particular date things had led to kissing as they usually did and then she would just keep telling herself that she had plenty of time to get home. Well, obviously, she had stayed out longer then intended and she was going to have to sneak into her own house like some kind of cat burglar and keep from tripping the security system and without letting her father realize someone was sneaking into the house. The last part was going to be the hardest. It really sucked having a dad with increased senses and could sense someone's ki, particularly your own.
When she was in view of the domed roof of Capsule Corp she quickly dropped down to the ground near a small patch of trees. Keeping her ki down she snuck from tree to tree easily avoiding the eye of one of many security cameras. It was good for her that she had been born a genius like her mother otherwise she might have never been able to memorize the security layout and the many passwords to bypass it when necessary.
By the time she had reached the door she had managed to avoid the 20 cameras in this part of the yard alone and was typing in the security code to get in before another swung around in time to see her. Once she made it inside all she really had to worry about was her dad. He worked better then any indoor security system could.
Right when the door beeped when the password was accepted and she was nudging the door open with a smile of near triumph on her face Bra heard a rather loud and unpleasant noise behind her. Turning quickly she crouched into a fighting position. Whoever or whatever this person was would pay for sneaking up on her.
Bra went stiff from shock when she saw what was behind her. It was a young man standing in front of a large yellow machine. The young man had long lavender colored hair and bore a startling resemblance to her older brother. The only problem was that there was no way that this guy was her brother. This new man was far stronger then her brother.
Momentarily forgetting that she wasn't supposed to be out this late Bra did the only thing she could think of at the moment. "MOM!"
