Finale
Three months passed since Azaelya and Naraku died at the hands of Zarak. Trunks and Lem had become close since that time, and Trunks was preparing for another showdown with Zarak. Trunks had prayed the last battle would be his final one, but the fates had kicked him while he was down once more.
"Tomorrow morning, Lem.' Trunks said as he shutdown the gravity room. "That's when we attack." Lem nodded while Trunks drunk a glass of water, knowing full well that Trunks would not wake from his sleep. Lem had slipped some toxins into the water at the request of someone, and he obliged, he was disgusted with himself, but he knew it had to be done.
Morning came, and Lem left without telling Bururma, hanging around outside Trunks window until she found his body. Her crying and anger over her son's death were almost too much for him to bear. He had to do his job now, before he began to listen to his conscience.
She's been through so much, and I took away everything she had left. I don't deserve to live. He thought to himself disgustedly.
Within the hour Lem arrived at Zarak's ship. It would be leaving in one day once the news of Trunks' death had been received. But he could not compromise the main mission objective first. He entered the ship and headed straight for the data room.
Zarak walked by the data room and saw Lem standing in the doorway his back turned. Zarak walked up to the boy and tapped him on the shoulder. He jumped in fright and kicked Zarak in the neck as a reaction, sending him to the ground.
"Foolish boy." Zarak pushed himself of the ground and brushed himself off.
He grabbed Lem by the neck and began to squeeze. "Trunks is dead. I killed him." Lem blurted out.
Zarak was pleased by the news, the sooner he could get out of this reality and into a new one the better, but he didn't let it show, and instead he kept squeezing. Lem let out a chuckle as his body began to glow in a similar way to Naraku. Zarak's hands started to burn, and he dropped Lem.
Lem closed his eyes as a peaceful smile came over his face. As Lem's aura grew brighter, a familiar face began to appear in it. One Zarak knew all to well.
"Vejita!" Zarak cried. A moment later he was gone. Unsure what to do, Zarak walked off not knowing what had happened.
On Kaio-sama's planetoid, Vejita appeared as if he had zanzokened there. He was drenched in sweat with deep black bags under his eyes. He struggled top catch his breath as he stood back up.
"Was it necessary to do what we did, Kaio-sama?" He asked in between breaths. "I stole everything from why wife and killed our son."
Kaio's answer was simple: "Yes."
Gohan, who looked better than Vejita but not by much, spoke up, "why couldn't we just do this when the Jinzoningen attacked? We could have done so much!"
"I could only do this once, and even then Enma-Daiou was very reluctant to allow it to happen." Kaio stated. "If we did it against the Jinzoningen, it would have been an endless cycle in every reality. There would be no reality in which the Jinzoningen didn't destroy everything. Trunks needed to return to the past. And he needed to be killed before he could Zarak."
What Kaio had done was given Vejita and Gohan new bodies, new lives temporarily to help Trunks in his final battle. Zarak was not to be defeated here, Kaio had been told. Trunks must lose. Kaio had sacrificed his own life for this event but he didn't regret it at all. As the other Z- Senshi congratulated Gohan and Vejita—and consoled them—Kaio searched their memories of what had happened. One memory stay in his mind, it made him feel calm, at peace. It was of Zarak's main computer, the screen showed the inter-dimensional travel co-ordinates: Earth Prime Six-Seven-Four-Nine- Five.
"We have managed to bury the seeds of hope."
Fin.
