AFTERMATH

"so this is how it ends..."
Piccolo looked down at the charred, destroyed body of X. his chest was fully revealed now, and it was clear just what had driven him mad- he didn't know what he was supposed to be. His arms were Namek, he had human hands, and a clearly Sayian chest. Too much power from the Shinororeppa, and the confusion about himself within crippled X from the inside out... and it drove him mad.
"Gohan- let's go home."
Gohan was still looking at the charred body as Piccolo flew off with Krillin under his arm. He was amazed that such power could be brewing in such a creature... it made him think- did anyone else know about that powerful technique?
"GOHAN!"
"Just go on ahead!"
Piccolo was already gone, but Gohan finished what he was going to say anyway.
"I'm going to bury him. He at least deserves that for letting us have a chance."

Meanwhile, at king Kai's...
"Woo-hoo! I almost forgot what this food tasted like!"
King Kai sighed.
"Goku, if you keep eating like this we're going to wind up living like bubbles, using the trees for shelter!""
"Hey, I can't help it. That X character really took it out of me."
King Kai flinched. Goku set down his food and looked at him.
"What was that all about...?"
"Um... Goku, there's something you should know. X wasn't- well see X- Um..."
"He's trying to say I'm not as bad as you think."
X walked around from behind a tree, a halo over his head. Goku fell to the floor in shock- but that only lasted about a second. He got right back up and prepared a kamehameha- with more than enough power to blow the whole place to hell. King Kai flew over the bench outside his house and dove into the bushes for cover from the blast.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!!?"
"Before you blow me back to earth, you should know something Goku... I'm not as bad as you think."
"Oh really? Is that why Vegeta is dead!?"
"Not anymore he isn't."
"THAT'S WHAT I- HUH!?"
Goku lowered his kamehameha and scratched his head in confusion.
"What do you mean he's not dead?"
King Kai emerged from the bushes and chimed in.
"Well, right before you were about to-what was it now? Oh yes- BLOW UP MY PLANET- X went and saw the Grand Kai."
"I gave up my powers so Vegeta could live again. It's time for me to start anew. I'm going to earn my abilities, not just steal them from others."
Goku was holding his head. All this thinking was giving him pain.
"I still don't understand. Why would you want to kill us all one instant and suddenly be our friends?"
"Remember that Spirit Bomb, Goku? I thought long and hard after it passed through me- and I realized I didn't have a corrupt heart. I had corrupt powers. It's time to abandon them."
Finally, everything clicked.
"Well then, I guess I have a new sparring partner."
"Not yet Goku, X still needs to undergo some training first. Well X, are you ready for the first part of your training?"
"Couldn't be more ready."
Goku and King Kai both began to chortle a little when bubbles came out...
"Alright then X, I want you to catch bubbles!"
"IS THAT IT!?"
X rolled up his sleeves.
"This is gonna be a cinch!"
3 weeks later, X held bubbles up by the tail triumphantly, with nothing on but his shorts.
