He stared, not believing what he was seeing. I knew he could feel my level and sensed that I was far above his and possessed the ability now to beat him. Buu struggled to get a few words out, "But…how…?" I grinned, looking at him,

"It's easy…you allowed me to get to level 3, so now, I'm going to kill you" He glared as I flew up, kicking his head so hard that it spun around multiple times.

I continued to pummel him, getting out all the anger I had held in, and having already grieved, only anger remaining. I shot a few blasts at him and my power seemed endless, as if I could continue forever, but I knew I would need to destroy him completely. I landed on the ground and got into position, "Kameh…" Buu looked frightened as I continued, my power soaring, "Hameh…" He had no time at all to block me as I let out a loud yell and shot the blast at him, "HA!!!" I sent the ball of energy hurling towards him, the largest and most powerful energy attack I had ever created.

I kept it up, putting all my energy and hate and anger into it, determined to rid the universe of the evil creature. He couldn't block or reflect the attack and was completely engulfed in the energy, his body and all his own energy getting obliterated, never to come back.

I stopped now, after about 10 minutes of keeping up the attack, my energy drained completely. I feel to my knees, going back to normal, then passed out just as Krillin came running over.

The next thing I remember was waking up and seeing 2 little bodies asleep and holding onto me. I rubbed my eyes a bit and found I was at Goku's home and Goten and Trunks were holding onto me, fast asleep. I smiled down at them, thinking how peaceful and sweet they looked, assuming the Dragon Balls had brought everyone back.

The sky was velvet black, sprinkled with stars; the night air was warm and calm with an occasional breeze. I smiled lightly as I slipped out of the bed quietly as to not disturb the boys. I checked the clock and saw that it was about 12:30am, wondering if anyone would be up.

I carefully walked down the hall and saw a light on, assuming it must be somebody. I poked my head out and saw Bulma and Yamcha and Chi Chi, all talking with each other. I smiled as they saw me, "Hey guys…" My voice was groggy but they all smiled happily and walked over, hugging me. Bulma looked at me, "You've been out for a day now". I nodded, Chi Chi speaking,

"Krillin told us everything…and we can't thank you enough for what you did, you saved us all". I smiled softly, sitting down with them and talking some more, but not telling anyone about my nightmare.

We continued to talk for most of the night, and had some great conversations. After a little while, Yamcha looked over at me, "Alix…when do you need to go back? I'm sure they're really upset back…erm…forward or wherever…" I laughed a bit then sighed, looking at the sun slowly beginning to rise from the east, "I'll probably leave in a few hours". I looked back at them and suddenly felt an urge to stay, but I also longed to go back home. I knew I couldn't be straddling between the past and present, so I realized this would more than likely be my last visit, but I decided not to tell them.

They nodded, looking a little sad that I had to go so soon, but they knew I had to. I thanked them for a wonderful visit and Chi Chi laughed a bit, "Oh, I'm sure it was great!" We all laughed as well and I hugged them good-bye, feeling an urge to cry and tell them I wanted to stay, although keeping a solemn face the entire time.

I walked back to where the boys where before I decided to go and found them sleeping away in the bed where I had been. I pulled a necklace out of my pocket as I walked over; it was a cerulean heart, the one my sister once wore. I smiled as I ran my thumb along it gently, then crouched next to Trunks and slipped it around his neck, fastening it.

I smiled and stood, knowing he'd take good care of the necklace, just as I had done. I gave a note to Bulma and asked her to give it to Trunks when he got older so he'd understand it more. She agreed and I got into the time capsule, ready for my trip back home, ready for all the new challenges that awaited me, now with the confidence and knowledge I needed to go on and live my life as best as I knew how.
