THE NEXT MORNING ONE HOUR BEFORE THE FIGHT...

"Silver get up you need to get ready," said Future Trunks as he shook his daughter awake.

"Oww," cried Silver.

"Are you okay?" her dad asked.

"My shoulder, it's throbbing," said Silver.

"Let me see it," said her dad.

Silver pulled her night shirt off while wrapping the sheets around her top half before letting her father examine her shoulder.

"It's badly swollen, and it's bruising," said Future Trunks.

"I can't fight with it like this," said Silver as she started to cry from the pain in her arm.

"You will fight and I don't care if you lose, but you are not going to forfeit and I would prefer that you win," said her dad.

"Dad I can't fight with my arm like this I can't even move my damn arm and besides you didn't want me fighting yesterday," said Silver.

"Deal with it, I deal with a lot more pain than you, you can handle this and besides that was yesterday,"said Future Trunks.

"Dad I can't," said Silver.

"You will," said Future Trunks as he backhanded his daughter across the face.

Silver grabbed her face, and looked at her father with a look of horror on her face.

"You hit me," said Silver as tears began to form in her eyes, "you really hit me without cause."

"I'm sorry," said Future Trunks realizing what he had done.

"No you're not, you promised you would never hit me without cause unless it was for training," said Silver as tears began to run down her face.

"I said I was sorry,"said her father.

Silver ignored his apology as she slipped a new shirt on, and a pair of new fighting pants, then slipped her shoes on and walked out the of the room.

"Damn it," cursed Future Trunks.

"Hey Silver you're up," said Vegeta as he saw his granddaughter walk by.

Silver didn't answer, she just kept on walking.

"Something's wrong,"thought Vegeta as he followed Silver.

When Vegeta caught up to Silver he noticed that the lower part of her jaw was beginning to turn a purple black color.

"What happened?" Vegeta asked as he walked next to Silver.

"He hit me," said Silver blankly.

"Trunks hit you!" exclaimed Vegeta furious that his son would do such a thing.

"My dad hit me," was Silver's only reply.

"Silver say something else besides that," said Vegeta.

"He hit me, I can't believe it, he hit me, he said he would never do it again without cause or if it was training and he just hit me," said Silver as she collapsed in the middle of the stadium ring.

"Why did he hit you?" Vegeta asked.

Silver began her explanation and Vegeta sat there listening to every word.

NINE O' CLOCK...

Time for the last and final round to begin and the audience began to file into their seats. As they did they saw that Vegeta and Silver already in the ring warming up together.

"Wow look at them, they're good," said one guy.

"No kidding," said another person.

Soon the whole audience was throwing out comments to the two fighters.

"I hate stadiums," said Silver to Vegeta.

"Just keep doing this and they'll shut up," said Vegeta.

"Fine, but my arm's starting to hurt," said Silver.

"Good that way I won't have to beat you, you can lose like a normal person," said Vegeta.

"I want to stay here," said Silver.

"What!" said Vegeta.

" I don't want to go back home I hate it there everyone is mean to me, even Bulma is," said Silver.

"Well that's a first," said Vegeta sarcastically.

"Can I stay?" asked Silver.

"If you beat me," said Vegeta.

"Deal," said Silver.

Now the last match of the tournament began and it was a fierce battle between grandpa and granddaughter. Silver gave everything and so did Vegeta. No one had any idea who would win. But most votes were on Vegeta. Then with a sudden turn of tables Silver lost her balance and fell from the ring, but before she could hit the ground Vegeta pulled her back into the ring.

"Why did you do that?" asked Silver.

"That's no way to lose now is it?" asked Vegeta.

Then the fight continued on and Vegeta had gained the upper hand, but then all of a sudden Vegeta flew into the ground outside the ring and Silver landed from a special attack she had been hiding for years. Vegeta looked around him and thought, "She actually beat me."

Silver was proclaimed the world's strongest person.

"You weren't supposed to win,"said Future Trunks as his daughter walked off from the arena.

"Why you wanted me to," said Silver.

"Yeah, but you can't come back next year," said Future Trunks.

"I'm not going back with you," said Silver.

"WHAT!" exclaimed Future Trunks.

"You heard her," said Vegeta.

"What kind of deal did you pull without consulting me first?" asked Future Trunks.

"I said if she beat me she could stay here with me," said Vegeta eyeing his son.

"No she's coming back with me," said Future Trunks.

"Why so she can be abused some more," said Vegeta.

"But... but how did you know?" asked Future Trunks.

"She told me and I read her mind as well,"said Vegeta.

"Fine, Hiei, Davien come on we're leaving," said Future Trunks as he walked off.

"But..." said Hiei and Davien.

"But what?" asked their father.

"We want to stay to," they answered.

"No," said Future Trunks pulling them away.

ONE YEAR LATER...

"Well you seem to be a lot happier here," said Vegeta to Silver.

"Yeah I like it a lot here," said Silver.

"I have the gravity room set up want to join me?" asked Vegeta.

"Yeah, okay," said Silver as she followed Vegeta into the gravitational room.

THREE HOURS LATER...

"I feel as light as a feather,"said Silver as she collapsed on the couch in the living room after she and Vegeta had left the gravitational room.

"You will if you keep training in there," said Vegeta sitting down next to her.

"Here you two eat something,"said Bulma as she placed a tray full of food in front of the two hungry saiyans.

"Hey dad I'm going to Goten's," said Trunks as he headed out the door.

"Be back before midnight,"said Vegeta.

"I'm going over to Poyer's," said Bree.

"Same applies to you," said Vegeta.

"Trinks are you going to go anywhere?" asked Bulma.

"No," said Trinks as she walked by.

"Trinks?" said Silver.

"My youngest daughter," said Vegeta, "you probably don't notice her because she doesn't leave her room much."

"But my dad never mentioned Trinks, he talked about Bree, but I never knew I had another aunt," said Silver.

"Trunks doesn't like Trinks," said Vegeta.

"Why?" asked Silver.

"Because she is stronger than him, but won't use her powers," said Vegeta.

"Oh okay,"said Silver as she watched Trinks walk by, but Trinks stopped in the middle of the hallway to stare at Silver.

"Silver do you like to sing?" asked Trinks.

"How do you know that?" asked Silver.

"I don't, I guessed," said Trinks.

"Well yes," said Silver.

"Will you sing for us?" asked Trinks.

"Sure, but what song? It needs to be one I know," said Silver.

"Shadow Lover," said Trinks.

"That's a hard song though," said Vegeta.

" I can do it," said Silver, "I used to sing it all the time when I was little."

Trinks sat down next to her father and watched as Silver stood in the middle of the room facing them and began to sing.

Shadow Lover never seen by day / only deep in dreams do you appear / wisdom tells me I should turn away / love of mist and shadows all unclear / nothing can I hold of you but thought / Shadow Lover mist and twilight wrought

Shadow Lover comfort me in pain / love although I never see your face / all who'd have me fear you speak in vain / never would I shrink from your embrace / Shadow Lover gentle is your hand / never could another understand

Shadow Lover soothe me when I mourn / mourn for all who left me here alone / when my grief is too much to be borne / when my burdens crushing grates have grown / Shadow Lover I cannot forget / help me bear the burdens I have yet

Shadow Lover you alone can know / how I long to reach a point of peace / how I fade with weariness and woe / how I long for you to bring relief / Shadow Lover court me in my dreams / bring the peace that suffering redeems

Shadow Lover from the shadows made / lead me into shadows once again / where you lead I cannot be afraid / for with you I shall come home again / in your arms I shall not fear the night / Shadow Lover lead me into light

ONE YEAR LATER...

Silver finds out from her brothers who came back that her father had died because she stayed.

Silver was mortified. She went to her room and locked the door. She pulled out an ancient yet secret dagger and pulled it from its sheath. She put it up against the vein that ran down her arm starting from her wrist and going to her elbow. She pushed the blade into her skin and pulled down. Instead of her blood beginning to clot to keep her from dying like what happened with most saiyans her blood poured out through the gushing wound since the dagger had a poison that kept wounds from healing or clotting. As she bled to death the last thing anyone heard was the song of Shadow Lover coming from her room.

Shadow Lover never seen by day / only deep in dreams do you appear / wisdom tells me I should turn away / love of mist and shadows all unclear / nothing can I hold of you but thought / Shadow Lover mist and twilight wrought

Shadow Lover comfort me in pain / love although I never see your face / all who'd have me fear you speak in vain / never would I shrink from your embrace / Shadow Lover gentle is your hand / never could another understand

Shadow Lover soothe me when I mourn / mourn for all who left me here alone / when my grief is too much to be borne / when my burdens crushing grates have grown / Shadow Lover I cannot forget / help me bear the burdens I have yet

Shadow Lover you alone can know / how I long to reach a point of peace / how I fade with weariness and woe / how I long for you to bring relief / Shadow Lover court me in my dreams / bring the peace that suffering redeems

Shadow Lover from the shadows made / lead me into shadows once again / where you lead I cannot be afraid / for with you I shall come home again / in your arms I shall not fear the night / Shadow Lover lead me into light

Now Silver wanders around in a black abyss not able to return to the past or the future. She shall remain there forever until she is forgiven and she forgives those who deserve to be forgiven.

The same goes for Trunks for he did not die. He also killed himself and now wanders in the same black abyss. But when will the father and daughter meet is another story.

As for the two brothers they committed suicide as well. Not being able to with stand all the death they decided that they wanted to be with their family. Now they too wander in separate areas of the black abyss. When the four family members meet will there be the rejoicing we expect or not?

We may never know because this is where the story ends...
