Chapter 12: Peace at last!
At Dende´s lookout...
Dende and Mister Popo smiled when they saw a group of flying people approaching the lookout. The Z Fighters landed on the platform before them. Goten and Trunks put Goku and Vegeta down on the ground. Dende walked up to them and stretched out his arms. He closed his eyes and his hands started to shine with a green-yellow glow. Mister Popo nodded at the others while Dende healed Goku and Vegeta.
"Well done everyone!" Mister Popo said.
Everyone grinned at him. Dende healed the rest of them within a few minutes.
"Thanks, Dende." Gohan said.
Dende smiled and nodded.
"It's nothing, compared to what you guys have accomplished!" Dende said.
"Ah, stop it. You're making my feet blush!" Krillin said while grinning goofily.
"Goten, Trunks. Could you carry those two into the lookout for me? You can tell me and Mister Popo all about what happened down there once we're inside." Dende said.
Goten and Trunks nodded. They grabbed their fathers and put them on their shoulders. They followed Dende and Mister Popo into the lookout. There, they put down Goku and Vegeta on two sofas. Everyone sat down on some small pillows.
"So, you wanna know what happened?" Gohan asked.
"Yes. We didn't see the battle, but we could sense it pretty well. Please tell us." Dende said.
Gohan nodded. Then he started talking. He told Dende and Mister Popo about everything that had happened from the beginning to the end. Just as he finished, someone from behind them said:
"Interesting story, Gohan. I have to complain a little about your way of telling it though. A little more tempo and it would have been perfect!"
Everyone turned around and grinned. Goku and Vegeta were now sitting up, grinning back at them.
"Look who finally decided to wake up!" Krillin said cheerily.
Vegeta smirked at him.
"That almost sounded like an insult, baldy! Kakarot and I have just saved the world and this is how you're thanking us?" Vegeta asked.
A small grin was visible at the corner of his mouth though. Krillin swallowed nervously. He really didn't want to have Vegeta against him so he hurriedly changed his mind.
"Um, of course not!" Krillin said and tried to look normal.
Vegeta raised an eyebrow at him and grinned but didn't say anything.
"I want to ask you something Goku." Dende said.
Goku turned to him and smiled.
"Ok. What is it, Dende?" Goku asked, although he knew what the question would be.
"Well, since you've absorbed the Dragonballs, does that mean that you can grant wishes now?" Dende asked.
Goku thought for a while before answering.
"Yes. Yes I think I can. But I still have the responsibility for the Dragonballs! So don't think that I'm going to grant all of your wishes from now on like some genie. One wish each once a year will be just fine!" Goku said and smiled.
Dende nodded.
"Ok. Back to the subject." Gohan said and looked at Vegeta and Krillin.
"Hey! I already answered you!" Krillin said, he was getting nervous again.
Vegeta smirked at him.
"That's good, baldy-wannabe!" Vegeta said.
Everyone looked at them, and then they broke out laughing! Everyone laughed merrily. Goku and Vegeta stopped laughing and looked at each other. Goku gave Vegeta a thumbs-up. Vegeta smiled and returned the thumbs-up. Two Saiyan rivals, now friends.
A transparent image of Super Saiyan 5 Gogeta appeared behind the two Saiyan friends. The fused warrior smiled at them and gave them a thumbs-up of his own. The Eternal Dragon Shen Long appeared behind Gogeta. The Eternal Dragon´s eyes shone red as he watched the mighty warriors.
At this point, the story about the strongest warrior in the universe has ended. Goku and Vegeta fused together forms this legendary warrior. The world is at peace once again. All thanks to the Z Fighters, and the Dragonballs. The evil of Devil has disappeared. And the world is at peace once again. But who knows for how long? One thing is certain though. As long as Goku, Vegeta and the others or their descendants are there, evil will never triumph.
The End
