Chapter 30: Dragonball Hunting

Part 5: Hunt's End

So here I am now in the fields. I'm getting close to the last Dragonball, so close I can already hear Goku's voice. So close I can already here Cell's voice.

And since I was so close, I decided to contact the people who needed to be contacted.

"King Enma, this is Katie. Can you hear me okay?"

"Sure! What is it you want, Katie?"

"I'm getting ready to wish back Goku, so could you send him to Kami's Lookout?"

"Sure! No problem! I'll get him right now."

"Thanks King Enma, bye!"

I jumped over a fallen tree as I saw the orange ball shine in the sunlight.

"Piccolo, this is Katie, can you hear me?"

"Yes, I can hear you. What is it?"

"I'm about to summon the dragon. Can you contact the others? Goku will be at the Lookout."

"Yeah, I'll do that. We haven't heard from you since you left, how are you?"

"I'm fine, tell the others I've had fun. And tell them I miss them."

"Alright."

"Bye, Piccolo."

So I headed over to the final Dragonball, the 6-star ball, and it was easy to get this time around. The 4, 6, and 2-star balls were the hardest to find.

I placed all the Dragonballs in a circle, with the 4-star in the middle and just watched them pulsate. I had to wait just a few more minutes and then I could summon the dragon, but that wasn't the only reason I waited.

I was nervous. I had never summoned Shenron on my own. What if I messed up? What if I released the Shadow Dragons somehow? It doesn't help that Shenron himself is intimidating, but I had faced scarier things.

I have, haven't I? I've done so much good for the world, for the dimension. Sure, two almighty bad guys came for me, but I stopped them and I saved innocent people. I can stop blaming myself, like Mirai said. I stood up tall and started to summon Shenron.

"Dragon, by your name I summon you! Shenron!"

The sky turned dark and the wind began to blow. Purple lightening struck the Dragonballs and a yellow light burst out of the Dragonballs. Shenron appeared.

"You have awakened me from my slumber. Speak your wishes." I nearly passed out at his sight. I remembered the first time I saw him in reality, but this time he seemed so much bigger.

"For my first wish I wish to restore Goku and Cell to life!" his eyes began to glow red, but then he stopped.

"Your wish cannot be granted." Shenron roared.

"What?"

"I can revive the one known as Goku, but the one known as Cell cannot be brought back. His soul is gone, off to a place I cannot retrieve him."

"No! It can't be! Cell can't be gone! No! It's not fair! It's not fair!" I hit the ground and hit it with my fist, starting a small crater.

"Speak your two wishes." Shenron roared after a few minutes. I wiped my tears and got back up.

"Okay, okay. I wish to restore the life of Goku!" Shenron's eyes glowed red again, and after a moment he stopped.

"Your wish has been granted. Speak your next wish."

"I wish to repair the eyesight of Mirai No Trunks."

"Your wish has been granted."

Then the light show was over and the Dragonballs scattered again.

3rd P.O.V.-Lookout

Everyone was gathered at the Lookout, waiting patiently. Or not so patiently.

"What's taking so long? I thought she had the Dragonballs? Where is she?" Bulma asked.

"She'll be back when she's ready to come back." Vegeta said.

The sky went dark and everyone on the Lookout knew the reasoning. A moment later Goku stood on the Lookout.

"Goku! You're back!" Chi-chi ran to her husband and started to cry.

"Yeah, Chi-chi, I'm back. Calm down."

"Hey, I can see!" everyone turned to Mirai, who was taking off his sunglasses. "I can see you, Goku!"

"She did it, then." Bulma said.

"Who, Katie?" Goku asked.

"Yes, she went after the Dragonballs herself. She didn't want anyone to go with her." Vegeta said.

"Where is she?"

"She hasn't come back yet. You should have seen her, Goku."

"Yeah, she did great, dad." Gohan said.

"Especially after Cell…" Mirai started, but didn't have the heart to finish.

"What? What happened to Cell? Didn't he go back to HFIL?"

"His soul was destroyed, Kakorot. He died in the illusion, and since he was only a spirit, his soul was destroyed."

"Poor Cell. Poor Katie. Those two were best friends."

"Yes. She came to me after the fight. She said she wanted to find the Dragonballs on her own so she could discover who she really is. She must have tried to restore Cell, but obviously that didn't work." Vegeta said.

"Well, she'll be back. It shouldn't be too hard to for her to discover who she is. After all, we all know." Goku said.
