Trunks shrugged. "I don't know but the only place he is going to be soon is the next…" Trunks stopped and realized what Scatter meant. Scatter was going to King Yama's Palace. He wasn't sure why but he knew that's where he was headed.

Scatter appeared in front of King Yama's huge desk. Bra had just gotten there too.

"Perfect timing."

Bra looked at him with a confused look on her face. Scatter looked at her then looked back at King Yama.

"What is it, Scatter?" King Yama demanded.

"King Yama, sir. I demand that you do not allow Bra Briefs to pass through here. I want you to send her back to the physical plane to live her life as if she never died at all."

"I can't do that. Besides, why would I want to? She died. That's all there is to it."

"Have you ever heard of equivalent exchange?"

King Yama nodded. Bra now knew what Scatter was up to.

"I'm willing to exchange my life for hers."

King Yama pondered a moment. "Agreed. I will allow it."

"Scatter no!" Bra protested.

"Bra it's alright. It's for the best. You go on and live your life. I want you to continue living, find a good husband, have kids and grow old together. Make your family proud." Tears streamed down Bra's face. It sounded as if Scatter was trying not to cry. He leaned over and kissed Bra on the forehead. Bra's halo disappeared and one appeared over Scatter's head. "Good bye, Bra. I love you." He turned back to King Yama. "Send her back now."

"Scatter, I love yo…." Bra was cut off by her fading from the room.

Moments later she awoke in the hospital bed. "SCATTER! DON'T LEAVE ME."

Bulma, Vegeta and Trunks were in the room. Trunks and Bulma were crying and Vegeta was trying hard not to. They were startled by Bra's scream.

"BRA!" Bulma said as she hugged her daughter. Vegeta and Trunks were in awe. Bra began to cry.

"What happened?" Trunks asked.

"Scatter appeared and took my place. He ordered King Yama to send me back and to keep him." She said while choking on tears. She looked to her father. "Daddy, I killed him."

"Bra, you didn't kill him. It was his time to go." Bra began to cry even harder.

The door to the room opened. In walked Krillin, 18, and Marron. Marron ran over to Bra.

"Oh my gosh! Are you alright?"

Bra withdrew her gaze from her mother and turned to Marron, "Yeah…I'm just fine but Scatter isn't." Bra said choking back tears. Krillin and 18 approached Bulma.

"What happened?" Krillin asked with a furrowed brow.

Bulma looked at her daughter, "A lot…a lot happened Krillin."

18 crossed her arms, "Well I don't mean to pry, but…what's going on?"

"You guys may want to sit down," she said to Krillin and his family.

They agreed and each of them took a seat.

"What's wrong?" Krillin asked

"Scatter's dead. Bra died of a lightning strike and Scatter intercepted her at King Yama's place and took Bra's place up there."

Bra continued to cry.

"I can't believe Scatter did that." Marron said.

"What about Scatter?" Gohan asked.

He had just walked in the door with his family. Pan walked over to Bra. Videl and Gohan walked over to Krillin, 18, and Bulma.

"What about Scatter?" asked Videl.

Bulma looked at Bra.Krillin, 18, and Marron looked at each other. They already knew of this shocking news…and were finding it…well it was a lot to take in.

Gohan leaned against the wall, and Videl sat in a chair beside 18 and Bulma. Everyone else in the room was standing.

"Scatter's dead. He gave his life so that Bra could have hers back."

"What do you mean, have hers back?" Videl asked.

"She was struck by lightning and died from it. Scatter showed up at King Yama's palace and took her place up there. He gave his life so that she could live."

The new arrivals were also in shock. Bra put her head in her hands. Bulma embraced her daughter.

"I can't believe this." Gohan said.

"Can't believe what?" Okara asked as she, Leeta, Ion, Camino, Chi Chi and Goten walked into the room.

Bra began to speak up even though she was still choking back tears. Gohan held his hand up to stop Bra from speaking.

"I'll tell them." He said. "There is no easy way to say this but Scatter's dead." The rest of them stumbled in shock. They couldn't believe that their friend of so many years has died. Their friend, their comrade…their brother.

"How?" Okara asked trying to be strong.

"Bra died from a lightning strike. Scatter showed up at King Yama's palace and took Bra's place. So instead of Bra dying, Scatter's life force was transferred into Bra's body so that she could live. We can't even wish him back. He's gone forever." Gohan concluded. Leeta put her arms around Okara and Ion put his arms around the two of them.
