Hey guys, it's me, Story Nado.
So, looks like we finally made it to the end! Yahoo! And thank goodness, because I gotta admit something.
By the time I got to Chapter 11, my passion for this fanfic was starting to wane out, so I wanted to make sure that I concluded the story in the best possible way I could.
Now, I know that some of you have many questions about what happens to our main trio as the rest of the Dragon Ball timeline goes on, so I will sum it up to make things easier.
-All throughout the month of September, the gang travels across various places, searching for the Dragon Balls.
-They stumble upon Master Roshi. The infamous offer never occurs, because Supai manages to pressure Roshi into giving up the three-star ball (and by 'pressure', I mean glare at him in an extremely unsettling manner). Goku recieves the ball, as well as the Flying Nimbus.
-Supai and Bisuk manage to stop Oolong via a combined ki attack, which he narrowly misses. Out of fear, he immediately joins the group, and Goku is given the six-star ball. They all continue on their journey.
-In the desert, the gang encounter Yamcha and Puar, and the battle between Goku and the desert bandit occurs, only this time, Goku wins due to a lack of a tail. The group quickly escape the desert, and Yamcha and Puar secretly follow them.
-Everyone ends up at Fry Pan Mountain, and Master Roshi ends up destroying it with a powerful blast, the Kamehameha. Goku tries it out, and succeeds (despite destroying the group's car in the process). At this point, Gine is amazed by Goku's progress, and considers leaving Earth. Bisuk manages to find the seven-star ball, and the group continues on their way.
-The Boss Rabbit events end with Supai and Bisuk wiping them out with a powerful ki attack. However, Emperor Pilaf and his two goons still manage to steal the remaining Dragon Balls.
-Goku's tail grows back, and while trying to stop the Pilaf Gang, he accidentally looks up at the moon, turning him into an Oozaru once more. As he wrecks havoc on Pilaf's castle, the blue emperor manages to summon Shenron. Puar cuts off Goku's tail, reverting him back to his old self.
-Supai quickly knocks Pilaf out, and wishes for Grandpa Gohan to be revived. Shenron explains that Gohan refuses to be revived, and he has become content with life in the Otherworld, and chooses to remain dead. He bids them a fond farewell afterwards.
-Gine discusses with Supai, Bisuk, and Goku about going back up into space. Goku is incredibly hesitant at first, but Gine now believes that her son is perfectly capable of taking care of himself. The trio tell Bulma about the idea, and they all head back over to Mt. Paozu.
-There, Bulma finds Goku's original pod, stores the vehicle in a capsule, and brings it with her to West City.
-Back at Mt. Paozu, Gine, Supai, and Goku engage in one last epic sparring match, which ends with Goku becoming the winner.
-Several days later, the group sees Bulma arrive in a hovercar, and she takes them to Capsule Corp., where they see that the pod has been converted into a larger spaceship.
-Gine, Supai, and Bisuk each give Goku a heartfelt goodbye, and the entire group engages in a massive embrace. Gine then hugs her son one more time, telling him to "never stop being the best Saiyan you can be." With that said, the group gets on the ship, and it takes off into space.
-From then on, the story of (Classic) Dragon Ball continues on as normal, the only differences are that Jackie Chun does not destroy the moon, and that Goku is fully aware of his Saiyan heritage.
And that's it for A Strange Group Of Heroes!
