Epilogue
When it was time for bed, Jade and Jeice went into the bathroom to get ready. They had changed into their pajamas; Jeice wore white while Jade wore pink. They stood beside each other in front of the sink, washing themselves off.
"Damn, Mr. Simms was weak, even for a demon," Jeice remarked.
"That must be why he brought us to hell," Jade said. "He was using the terrain to his advantage, hoping that we would die from the heat."
"Even so, I didn't think he would be that easy."
"So if all the generals are this easy, we may even have a chance to restore the universe to peace."
"I doubt it. There are still way too many of them. Besides, I don't even think that restoring the universe is Jenny's main objective."
"Really? Then what is it?" Jade asked.
Jeice looked at her. "Oh, you know." He began to brush his teeth.
Jade scoffed as she began to brush her hair. "This is crazy. It's basically us versus the universe. And if the universe wins, we're all fucked."
Jeice spit out the toothpaste. "Yeah, we're fucked, all right..."
Jade looked at him. "Do you think you can be a little more gross?"
Jeice paused. "Okay..." He spit another shot of toothpaste onto Jade.
Jade flinched. "Argh! I was being sarcastic, you idiot!"
Jeice threw his hands up. "Oh, now you tell me!"
"You..." Jade took a handful of water into her mouth and then spit it on Jeice.
"Hey!" Jeice wiped his face. "That wasn't funny!"
Jade only burst out laughing. Jeice took a handful of water into his mouth to rinse out the toothpaste, then spit it on Jade again.
"Argh!" Jade screamed. "You haven't changed a bit! You're still just like those other Ginyus!"
Jeice sighed now. "I guess I have a ways to go if people think I'm still like the other Ginyus."
"Of course, you're just so goofy. But then again, you were goofy even before you joined the Ginyu Force."
"I guess some things will never change. Not that I'd want to change the way I am..."
"Of course, it's your goofiness that gives those weary Rebels a reason to smile. You and Yamcha...even Fulgore and Hallie, too."
Jeice put his foot down. "Then that settles it. I'm gonna stay goofy."
Jade smiled. "Yes, don't ever lose your goofiness, Jeice. You know, we should tell the Rebels about what we did to Salza. Now that's something to laugh about!"
"Yeah...it is." Jeice agreed, then started to laugh. Jade caught the laugh, then began to laugh herself.

KO-35 – The Aftermath
Ah yes, that sounds more appropriate. The Rebels have defeated Mr. Simms of KO-35. However, he turned out to be a real pushover. Even I didn't expect him to be so lame.
Meanwhile, Jade and Jeice learned firsthand that things are not always what they seem. They learned the hard way when they found out that the J-Gang members were actually dead. Well, I could have told them that, but it was much more fun watching them learn for themselves. Also, Mr. Simms turned out to be a demon, albeit a lame demon.
I've always been fascinated by the spirits of people who die. Why do they appear before the living? Possible reasons could be to help them, or to ask for help. Or they may wish to avenge their death, or the death of someone they loved. But the reason the J-Gang chose to appear before Jade and Jeice is beyond my understanding.
After the battle, Jade and Jeice seem to be closer than they were before. Well, they had always been close, but they've had a certain level of distance since Jeice joined the Ginyu Force so long ago. Now they've finally smoothed out their friction. This is the ultimate sibling bond, when you see them teasing each other like that.
These are the words of Canis Lupus.
