Eternal Youth

"Keep firing 18!" Goku said jumping into the air and flying up at super android 17 who was blocking his twin's sister's Ki blasts. 18 kept on firing, tears streaming down her face. She knew her brother was about to die but she had to avenge her husband, Krillin, who died at the hands of her brother. Goku did a dragon punch right through 17's stomach. 18 stopped firing and shut her eyes tightly as Goku turned around and blew up 17 into small pieces with a Kameamea wave.

"Sorry about Krillin," Goku said putting a hand on 18's shoulder as she started to cry. "You know he's happy right?"

"Yes," 18 said wiping her tears away, "but I love him."

"I know, but know that wherever he is, he is happy and he is proud of you for what you did right now," Goku said in his normal cheerful manner.

"Yeah I know, I just can't believe 17 did that," 18 said crying once more.

"He was being controlled," Goku defended, "but you know he beat that control off at the end. He took control of his body for a second just to tell us his weak spot. Why do you think he only blocked your blasts and didn't fire back? He was telling us how to destroy him. At the end, he won."

18 smiled a bit and sniffled, "thanks Goku you don't know how much that means to me."

"WE'RE READY TO FIGHT THE MONSTERS!" Chichi yelled lifting her wooden spoon in the air and running towards Goku and 18 as soon as Videl landed on the ground. Behind them Bulma and Bulla landed their Capsule Corp plane and got out.

"Where are those evil doers!" Videl said in a corny style, "those obstructers of justice, we will defeat them."

18 just rolled her eyes and Goku chuckled saying, "it's okay guys 18 and I already have taken care of the situation."

"Good cause we need to go find the dragon balls and wish back the people that were killed by super android 17" Bulma said.

"Oh yeah!" Goku said excitedly, "and we can wish back Krillin too!"

18 smiled solemnly and said, "thanks Goku I really love him and I miss him."

They all flew back to Capsule Corp together, stopping by the bloody battlefield to pick up the unconscious Vegeta, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Pan. Hercule was the only one conscious and he was scared out of his wits. He almost fainted when he saw 18. When they arrived at Capsule Corp, sensu beans were distributed and the warriors awoke from their slumber. "What happened?" Vegeta exclaimed anxiously, "did you defeat super android 17 Kakkarot?"

"18 and I worked as a team and we took him down," Goku answered continuing to stuff his face with everything edible on the table.

"Wow 18," Gohan said putting a comforting hand on her shoulder, "you're really brave to destroy your own twin like that."

"I know I wouldn't have been able to kill Gohan if it were me," Goten added.

"Well he killed my husband," 18 said sadly, "I had to avenge him."

"WHAT! KRILLIN IS DEAD!?" Gohan said.

"Yes," 18 said breaking into tears again.

Bulma wrapped her arms around her and said, "Oh I'm sorry honey, everything will be okay, we'll wish him back."

Gohan wiped the tears off his face and sat down to grieve his best friend. About a day later, Trunks, Pan, and Goku went off with Geruu and found the seven dragon balls. They were confused about the cracks that each ball had but they tried to summon Shenron anyways. That turned out to be a mistake because an evil dragon emerged and seven shadow dragons were sent out around the world to destroy it.

Goku and Pan set off too fight the dragons and get the dragon balls back to normal. This took a couple of months in which time Bulma found out how to use the flux waves to convert Vegeta into a super saiyan four and Omega Shenron absorbed all seven dragon balls. Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Majuub tried to help Goku but it was hopeless. Only Vegito in super saiyan four form stood a chance but the fusion lasted only 10 minutes instead of the regular 30. 18 and Marron sat at Capsule Corp with Bulla the whole time, praying the somehow Goku would find a way to win the battle so that Krillin could be wished back. As always Goku did find a way. He created a spirit bomb with power from all over the universe. Needless to say, Omega Shenron was destroyed and the real eternal dragon Shenron returned. Shenron decided to take away the dragon balls from Earth and go on journey. Goku asked for the final wish to bring back all the people who lost their lived in the two unfortunate events that occurred during the last few months and then left with Shenron on his journey.

Goku said goodbye to all his loved ones who were on the battlefield with him and then went to the Kame house. There was Krillin, alive and well, and Master Roshi reading a dirty magazine. Goku sparred with Krillin one last time and told him to him to see his devastated wife at Capsule Corp. Then Goku thanked Piccolo down in hell and head off on his journey.

As for the rest of the gang, they flew back to Capsule Corp groggily. Vegeta had a hole straight through his right arm so he carried Bulma in his left arm as they flew back. Gohan had a few broken ribs so he flew solo. Goten, being young, was perfectly fine so he carried his mother and flew off. Trunks was also young so he flew off with Hercule on his back. Pan simply followed and so did Videl and Majuub. When they arrived at Capsule Corp, Chichi head off into the kitchen to start cooking and Bulma grabbed the first aid kit to help the warriors fix their injuries. Bulla immediately hugged her dad's neck and said, "daddy! Are you okay?"

Vegeta scoffed and said, "of course I am, I am the prince of all Saiyans."

Bulla just smiled and said, "yeah he's okay."

18 and Marron watched them anxiously not wanted to interfere with their recovery. Bulma turned to her as she cleaned up Vegeta's wounds and said, "don't worry 18, all seven shadow dragons were defeated and every innocent person who was killed by the dragons or by seventeen were restored, so I think Krillin is back."

18 gulped and said, "but he's been wished back with the dragon balls before, what if he's not back?"

Bulma paused for a moment and said, "then I'm sorry, maybe we can ask Dende to wish him back with the Namek's dragonballs."

18 nodded and started crying. A voice made them all turn to the door, "Why you crying babe?" Everybody gasped as Krillin walked into the house looking at 18 and Marron with loving eyes.

"DADDY!" Marron yelled running to him and giving him a big hug. Krillin chuckled and held his daughter tightly. Marron parted and let him pass so that he could go to 18. Krillin walked up to 18 who still had tears flowing down her cheeks. He wiped the tears away and caressed her cheek softly.

"I love you too," Krillin said leaning in and kissing her softly on the lips.
