A New Sayian
Chapter 17: The End Of A Saga

(A/N: *sniff* Well, this is it, *sniff* the last chapter. I have enjoyed writing this so much. When I put up the first chapter, I wasn't sure if people would like it, and when it got to the twist, I thought you would all lose interest. But you didn't! ^_^ And I thank you all so much for reviewing! Hope you enjoy! I do not own DBZ nor am I affiliated with it or its characters in any way. I do not own Cheena, Chico, Risika or Miyuki. But I DO own Maylar ^_^ Thanks to Risika for setting me straight on the whole H.F.E.L/H.F.I.L thing. I thought it was Home For Eternal Losers, but it's Home For Infinite Losers.)

"Yeah! I missed beating on your face!" Cheena yelled as she took her fighting stance. The others did the same as they powered up. Goku, Cheena, Chico Gohan and Vegeta turned SSJ2 and Trunks and Goten turned SSJ. Maylar laughed as he watched them power up.

"Not this again." He said. Cheena growled as she flew towards him. She pulled her fist back and threw a punch at his face. Maylar dodged it with ease. Cheena threw a few more punches and kicks. Maylar dodged them all without unfolding his arms or going SSJ. She broke off and threw a ki blast at him. Maylar disappeared and reappeared behind the others. They all turned and stared at him. Maylar just stood there with his arms folded, smirking at them.

"What's he waiting for? He could easily wipe most of us out right now, so why isn't he attacking?" Vegeta asked as he eyed Maylar carefully, looking for any body language that may give away his next move. There was none. He stood as still as anything, it was as if he was made of stone. Goku powered up and charged at him. Maylar dodged his attacks too, this time he had to go SSJ. He disappeared and reappeared on the roof of Capsule Corps.

"GET OFF MY HOUSE!" Bulma yelled at him. Without a response Maylar floated down off the roof and landed by the group.

"What do you want? Attack us already!" Chico yelled. Maylar laughed and looked at her.

"What? And waste my time after I came all the way back here? Not likely." Maylar replied. The Z Fighters looked at him in total confusion.

"So if you're not here to fight us, why are you here?" Piccolo asked. Maylar smirked and looked at him.

"Too many questions. Ok, I'll talk. The reason I haven't blasted you all into oblivion yet is because, I simply don't want to." He replied. Everyone fell to the ground as they heard what he just said. They shot back up and stared at Maylar.

"Don't look at me as if I'm a freak." He said.

"We wouldn't do that now would we?" Chico muttered sarcastically under her breath.

"I'll pretend I didn't hear that." Maylar said as he glanced at her.

"So you're a good guy now?" Miyuki asked. Maylar laughed loudly and shook his head.

"No, but I'm not out to kill you either." He said.

"So why? Why aren't you out to kill us?" Goku asked.

"Because, back in the other world, when the two boys and the Namek came looking for me, I saw a resilience that I could never wear down. I saw a quality you see in warriors. Then I realised that, that same quality lay in each one of you I fought, I just didn't realise it. To put it plainly, I just can't be bothered to fight you any more." He explained.

"Ok, I can understand that. So why did you come back here? You could have gone anywhere else, but why here?" Goku asked as he walked closer to Maylar, who stood with his arms folded across his chest, staring at Goku.

"I don't know, I'm not looking to join you're little group or anything. But I would like to at least know if I could live in peace without a bunch of half-Sayians, Nameks and humans trying to kill me." He replied. Goku smirked and nodded.

"As long as you don't destroy anything or hurt anyone, we wont go looking for you." He said. Maylar smirked and nodded back.

"So we're at peace with each other?" Goku asked. Maylar nodded.

"I suppose." He replied.

"Just like that, good old predictable Kakarot, make peace with anyone. Did you forget? He killed you're son, and tried to kill you and the runt! Not to mention Trunks!" Vegeta yelled. Goku sighed and turned to face him.

"Let it go Vegeta, he's changed. If he hadn't, he would have killed me now while I had my back turned." He said. Maylar walked up beside him and smirked at Vegeta.

"Yeah Vegeta, just 'cause you couldn't kill me." He taunted. Vegeta growled and clenched his fists.

"Ok, that's enough of that now you two!" Goku yelled as he stuck his arms up between Vegeta and Maylar.

"When did you decide to stop killing people?" Bulma piped up, changing the subject. Everyone looked at her, then at Maylar.

"When the two half-Sayians and the Namek turned up." He replied.

"So if they hadn't gone to look for you, we would be dead right now?" Chi- Chi asked. Maylar smirked and nodded.

"Pretty much, yeah." He answered. Bulma and Chi-Chi fainted. Miyuki and Cheena caught them just before they hit the ground. Goku smirked as he turned to Trunks, Goten and Piccolo.

"I guess we have you to thank for saving us and the world." He said. Piccolo grunted, Trunks smirked and Goten grinned at everyone.

"Yeah! So that means more respect!" He yelled. The gang laughed and Cheena slapped him on the back.

"Looks like you have to take dads place as the saviour of Earth. Dad, I think you have a nice training program for him don't you?" She asked as she looked at her father. He smirked and nodded. Goten's eyes widened as he looked at Goku, Cheena and finally at Trunks.

"Hey! Whoa! He was in on it too! So was Piccolo! Why are you making me train?" He yelled as he pointed at Trunks and Piccolo. Piccolo smirked as he looked at him and then at Goku.

"I'm up for it Goku, I could do with a bit of practice anyway." He said. Goten's mouth dropped and looked at Trunks.

"There's no way you're dragging me into this! You can take credit for my actions! I don't care!" He yelled.

"Coward." Goten muttered under his breath. Cheena glared at him and punched him in the arm.

"You're calling him a coward? You're the one who wanted to save the planet, and now you're backing down! You're more of a coward than he is!" She yelled at him. Goten glared at her and then at Trunks, who was grinning at him. Cheena looked at Trunks and smirked.

"I don't know what you're grinning about, you're doing the training program too." She said. Trunks' mouth hit the ground, Goten just laughed.

"Yeah Trunks! Or are you chicken?" He taunted. He ran around the garden, with his hand under his arms, flapping and clucking like a chicken. Trunks growled and ran after him.

"I'll show you who's chicken!" He yelled. Goten laughed as he dodged Trunks each time he lunged for him. Maylar shook his head and started to float a few inches off the ground. He floated towards Goku and stopped.

"Well, I'll make my leave now. I can see why you're the protector of this planet, you're a pretty good fighter." He said. Goku smirked and stuck his hand out. Maylar accepted the gesture and shook his hand.

"Yeah, you're not too bad yourself." Goku replied. Maylar smirked and started to float away.

"Are you kidding? I'm the best!" He said before flying away. Everyone watched him go. Goku smirked and looked back at the two demi-Sayians, who were still chasing each other. He went up to Chi-Chi and put his arm around her waist.

"Do you think we'll see him again?" She asked. Goku shrugged his shoulders and gave her a kiss on the cheek

"Maybe Chi-Chi, just maybe." He replied. Vegeta and Bulma walked up to them and watched Trunks and Goten fight in the dirt.

"Good riddance to a bad Sayian." Vegeta grumbled. Bulma smirked at him and leant her head on his shoulder.

"He wasn't so bad Vegeta, he did decide not to kill us after all." She said. Vegeta sighed and put his arm around her.

"Maybe so, but I still don't like him." He mumbled. Bulma sighed and shook her head. Goku laughed and turned to the others. Maylar had disappeared out of sight and the others were watching Goten and Trunks fight. They were covered in dirt and mud. Chi-Chi noticed Goten's clothes and stormed over to him.

"SON GOTEN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING ROLLING ABOUT IN THE MUD WITH YOURE NICE CLOTHES!!??" She yelled. Goten shot up off the floor and stood to attention while Chi-Chi glared at him. Trunks rolled around on the floor in laughter. Bulma growled and stood next to Chi-Chi.

"I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE LAUGHING TRUNKS BREIFS! YOU CAN GET INSIDE AND GET CHANGED THIS MINUTE!" She yelled. Trunks jumped up and ran inside. Everyone fell about laughing as they watched him do as his mother instructed. Even Cheena was laughing.

"Well, things are back to normal." Goku said to himself as he laughed along with the others.

Meanwhile, Maylar landed on a mountain somewhere in the wilderness. He saw an entrance to a cave and walked inside. It was dark and quite cold, but that didn't bother him. He turned SSJ and his golden aura lit up the cave. It alerted a grizzly bear that was half-asleep at the back of the cave. It charged towards Maylar at full-speed, teeth bared and ready to tear him apart. Maylar gave a slight laugh and shot a ki blast at it. The beast fell lifelessly to the cave floor.

"That'd be a nice snack." Maylar said to himself as he stepped over the bear.

Several hours later, Maylar had made a fire and was cooking sections of the grizzly he killed. He thought back to when he fought Goku, then Vegeta and Cheena. And how pure-hearted they were. Even though they had the power to control the galaxy, and quite possibly, the universe, they didn't let it corrupt them, Maylar sort of, well, respected this. He took a piece of meat off the spit above the fire and made sure it was cooked enough, he took a bite out of the meat and began chewing it.

* I'm not supposed to eat, but I feel more human now than Sayian. Must be an after-effect of being brought back from the dead I suppose. * He thought to himself as he swallowed the meat. He thought of how Vegeta used to be like him, wanting to destroy life and be, more or less, evil. But he had changed so much, he had a wife and two kids, friends, he had a nice life. Maylar gave a slight laugh at this and looked the meat over again.

"Maybe there's a chance for me to change too." He said.

(A/N: Hope the ending didn't suck too much! what am I saying? It was the suckiest thing ever! Total anti-climax! I'm going to miss updating this story. I really enjoyed writing it. Thank you all for reviewing! It's meant so much to me. If a fic on the history of Maylar sounds good to you, let me know!)
