~~an~~ this is making up for the times when I didn't update…enjoy! It gets kinda sappy though…lol ~~an~~

A shimmering, purple, circle shield surrounded me as I began to concentrate my energy into the attack. My hands were in fists in front of my chest, getting in the formation now. Small crackles of lightning formed around the shield as I saw Skid standing on the ground now, waiting for my attack. My energy began to shoot up as I closed my eyes tightly, saying, "Blue…lightning…FLASH!" and with that, I shot out a flash of practically un- blockable blue lightning at him. It was made of pure, concentrated energy, so one hit could kill a normal human or greatly hurt a Saiyan.

The flash hit Skid head on, but I wasn't done yet, I need to ensure I was going to win this. I shot out a few more, all hitting him as the first one did. He went flying backwards through a mountain before I was confident he was either dead, or too weak to fight. I quickly ended the attack, landing on the ground, almost all my energy gone from the attack. I propped myself on one knee, catching my breath, expecting the Z fighters to come running over. But this never happened. I looked up and instead of the shield being gone, it was still strong as ever, proving that he was still alive and fine.

My eyes widened as I went back to my normal level, seeing Skid walking over, confident, although a little battered from the attack, "Well well well…it seems as though you've finally run out of energy. Foolish girl. You should have known that the attack would do nothing to a creature of darkness like myself. So instead, you've left yourself vulnerable to anything I might have to throw your way. Pity, isn't it? You're friends are going to have to watch you're mind get taken over by the thing you've been running away from your entire life". He grinned as he walked closer. I suddenly remembered what Master Kai had told me about Dragon Saiyans when I first met him,

~"Dragon Saiyans all have necklace's like your own that harness their immense power. If the necklace were to be broken, the person's power would consume their body, and more than likely, destroy everything around them for miles. It would be a more deadly explosion than 10 atomic bombs."~

I stood, knowing what I had to do, "You're wrong, Skid. I still have one option left, and thanks to you, I can use it." I glanced over at the Z fighters, safe inside the shield. They wouldn't be released until it was all over…they would all be safe. Skid looked at me, confused, "What in the name of Kami are you talking about? You have no choices!" I shook my head,

"I have the ultimate choice…sacrifice…" He stood frozen as I clutched my necklace, memories of those who I had fought my life for, and those whom I had lost coming back. A single tear slid down my bruised cheek and I looked over at where Trunks was, mouthing, "I love you".

He began to pound at the shield, begging me not to do it, although I could hardly hear him. With one quick tug, I ripped the necklace off, holding it in my hands. I realized that if I died now, it wouldn't be in vain. I had completed everything I had wanted to in my life. I had a family, friends, love, peace, and everything else I had dreamed of as a girl. I smiled to myself as I threw the necklace on the ground, not feeling any more pain or suffering, all my loss would now come back to me in the Other World. I heard Skid begging me not to, but his voice was lost in the wind. And just as I had torn my necklace off, I stomped on it with the last of my energy left, shattering it.

I started to feel the energy flowing inside me like an unstoppable flood, rushing through me. I felt no pain as the white light swirled around me, my energy engulfing me and everything around for miles.

The next thing I knew I was standing in an open field with long, green grass swaying in the wind. I was in a long, flowing white dress, no scars or cuts or bruises were evident. I felt very peaceful as I walked along, hearing some very pretty music, the sun shining above. As I walked along, I saw a girl standing nearby, wearing the same dress as me. I knew right away it was my sister. I walked faster towards her, throwing my arms around her the second I got within reach, hugging tightly. I heard her laugh a little…I had missed that laugh so much, "Hey kitty…it's been a while, hasn't it?" She pulled back and I saw her sparkling emerald eyes looking into mine. I saw the care and love she had given me as a child and I felt like I was 10 years old again, snuggling with my older sister.

I felt so much peace now, so happy and alive. I felt her soft hand touch my face gently, "I've missed you, sis." I smiled, struggling to get the words out,

"I've missed you so much…every day of my life I've thought about you, hoping for this day to come when I could see you again." She frowned a little,

"I don't want to spoil this, but I know I have to. It isn't your time to be here. You're needed on Earth still". I felt my heart sink,

"But I don't want to go back, I want to stay with you!" She shook her head and held my hand tightly, "Believe me, sweetie, if I had a choice, I'd do whatever I could to keep you here. I've been watching over you everyday and everyday I've missed being with you. But right now, you've got a lot of people on Earth who love you and need you, and you need to be with them".

I was crushed, but I knew deep down she was right. I looked at her a final time and she smiled her bright, loving smile, "I love you, Allie- babe, and I'll always be here". She leaned in, kissing my forehead gently, then disappearing in a flash of light.
