"Katherine, would you do the honors? You know how this sort of thing works."
"I'd be honored to, my lord." Bebi asked me to summon Shenron. I was flattered, to say the least.
"Dragon, by your name I summon you! Shenron!" the black-star Dragonballs shined bright as the dragon appeared. The last time I did this was to bring Goku back to life. How pathetic. But fear hit me as the large red dragon appeared. Red Shenron was so much bigger and darker than Shenron.
"Why have you summoned me?" he roared.
"Your turn, my lord." I back away and let Bebi make his wish. To restored Planet Plant in earth's orbit so we could transport the Tuffles from one to the other.
"Your wish has been granted." Then the dragon disappeared and the black-star Dragonballs vanished.
"There! Isn't it marvelous?" Bebi asked, pointing.
It was beautiful. It was red and orange, like a ruby, and so clean and clear.
"My lord, would you give me the honor of teleporting you to your kingdom?" I asked, still looking at the sky.
"Yes, my dear, that would be lovely." So Trunks, Bulma, Goten, and I all teleported to our new home.
Close up was even better. It was more extraordinary than earth or 'Planet Vegeta' ever was.
"Go get your family, my dear, and then we can celebrate."
"Of course, my lord."
I teleported back to earth to find Bora, Videl, Gohan, Andy, Kanji, and Mirai. When I found them they were already packed and ready to go.
"Mom, what about Codie?" Andy asked.
"I'm sorry dear, but he isn't a Tuffle like us yet, and until he is I won't teleport him off earth. You understand." I said, patting her back.
"I know, but he's still my brother." She whined. I teleported us back to Planet Plant and my family was situated in a lovely home near Lord Bebi's castle. I left my bags packed as I headed to Bebi's castle.
The castle was beautiful as well, much larger than Freiza's had been in the illusion.
"Lord Bebi, the final preparations are being made as we speak in transporting all your public." I heard Bulma say through the large wood doors.
"Great, excellent! I bet it took king Vegeta years to establish all this!" Bebi cried. I walked in, and he turned to face me.
"Katherine, I trust you found your family in good health?"
"All but my youngest son, Codie Allen."
"Yes, the one that got away. Well, if we can find him, I'm sure we can turn him easily."
"Thank you, Lord Bebi." I bowed.
"Now, I was going to ask you some questions, I believe. Bulma my dear, would you leave us?"
"Of course." Bulma bowed, turned, and left.
"Now where was I? Oh yes, the fight with Goku. I noticed that you held back on him, and that you hesitated in battle."
"I'm sorry, Lord Bebi, but we were close, you see, before my rebirth. He was like my father, he raised me from my teen years." I explained.
"I understand, but that's in the past. He's dead." Bebi turned to stand on his balcony, and I followed. In the sky was another shuttlecraft coming in.
"Well…"
"Was there something you found out in the desert to suggest otherwise?" Lord Bebi asked, suspicious.
"No, all I found was a piece of his clothing, but-"
"But?" he looked angry, but I had to state it.
"Goku has a habit of coming back. He's the ultimate underdog. If you knew him as well as I do, and believe me, no one on this planet or earth knows Goku better than I do, you'd be worried too. Without a body it's hard to be sure that he is undoubtedly dead."
Bebi was silent as he stared out into space. It was an awkward silence that makes you feel all the more nervous while its continuing.
"How do you know he isn't dead?" he finally asked.
"I'm not convinced one way or the other, my lord. I don't doubt your power, but Goku… In the dimension I grew up in, all of this, my past that I've shared with Goku and the others, was a television show, excluding me, of course. Goku always made it to the battles' end, winning. And I've witnessed him in battle, too. He could still be out there somewhere, Lord Bebi, but I don't know where." I explained.
"Can you locate him by his Ki?" he asked.
"If he is alive, it would be too low for me to locate after that harsh battle."
"Could you ask someone, like a Kai, if he's alive?" Bebi asked, still calm.
"They wouldn't help me because I'm their enemy as of right now."
"I'll change that soon." Lord Bebi said, eyes hard as he thought this over.
"If Goku is alive, he'll be stronger when he returns. If he's alive, I'll find him once his Ki is high again. I won't let him get away." I replied.
"That's what I needed to hear, Katherine." Bebi said, turning to go back inside, "You've fought and worked hard today. Go home and rest for the night. I'll call for you should I need you."
"Goodnight, my lord." I bowed and left, going to my new home to relax.
After my meditation I thought back on Goku. I couldn't shake the feeling that I had betrayed him. But he's a Sayjin, he doesn't deserve to live, and I'm a Tuffle, his enemy, so why do I feel this way?
I also thought on Codie. I hadn't seen him since Bebi took over earth a month ago. Was he one of us, or in hiding even now? Either way, he would have been seen by now, wouldn't he? Either to help Goku or Lord Bebi. Where was he that I couldn't find him?
"Katie, have you finished in there yet?" Mirai called through the doors of the study, where I meditate.
"Yes, I'm coming." I called, going out the door to join him.
"I still haven't found Codie." Mirai said as we went together to the deck. We watched the sun set together, and all seemed well. No crime, no pain, just my family, minus one.
"Lord Bebi assured we'd find him and change him." I replied.
"Yes, but still, you'd think we would have heard something." Mirai stated.
"Well, he'll turn up. He always does."
