Chapter 22: Reunited
"You all are weaklings... You can't defeat me!" Ornichi yelled and pushed his signature beam with full strength countering Goku and Gohan's combined Father – Son Kamehameha, making them move out of the way to avoid immediate death...
"You guys need some help?" Trunks, transformed into his new level of Super Saiyan Three, yelled from above and with full speed burst off towards Ornichi, again trying to achieve the impossible, followed by Goku and Gohan... The four were now having a major burst off... Kick's, Punches and energy beams flying all over the vast open area...
"It's no use... He's just too strong for us..." Gohan said still trying to land at least a single blow on his opponent...
"Okay, I suppose we might have just one last chance..." Goku said trying to do the same...
"What ever it is dad, just do it..."
"Okay then, hold him off for a few seconds, I will try to make a spirit bomb large enough to send him off into the outer space, once there he will have no chance of returning..."
Gohan and Trunks nodded and Goku separated from them... He went up high above in the sky, next to Piccolo...
"Goku, are you sure about this?"
"I am not, but this might be our only chance when he's still arrogant. If he starts attacking we are done..."
Goku replied raising both his hands high up in the air...
"Goku... I want you to know, you are the greatest person I have ever met..." Saying Piccolo held Goku's hand and transferred all his remaining energy to him. He didn't protest as it was Piccolo's way of saying Thank You to him and all the other people who loved him and made him feel as if Earth were his real home...
And as he fell from the sky Goku asked for help from every soul living on every other planet that existed in the vast spread darkness of the entire Universe...
"... Please help us..." He continued as the energy ball started forming above his head on the palm of his out – stretched hands...
Slowly and steadily it became massive, and then...
"Gohan, Trunks, move out... Now!" He shouted at the top of his voice and as the boys did as told, Goku teleported with the energy ball next to Ornichi and whispered into the wind, "You shouldn't have chosen our planet. Big Mis...take... Haa!" The last part he shouted at the top of his voice. Ornichi was wholly unaware of this attack as he was having fun watching the two kids try and hit him, a mistake on his part, a mistake which would lead him to his death...
The energy ball, better known as the Spirit Bomb hit him right on his chest and send him flying high up into the sky... No matter how hard he tried, he could neither move away from it, nor hold it back... It was just too powerful for him to handle and if that was not enough, Gohan powered it up from his Kamehameha along with Trunk's Finish Buster. Finally they did it. Ornichi was over powered... or was he?
"I will come back... You will all pay..." were the last words one could hear the Z Warriors final Nemesis say...

"Dad!" Goten shouted excitedly as Goku, Trunks, and Gohan, who held Piccolo's lifeless body reached Kami's tower...
"Is... Is it ov...er?" Krillin asked with an eager look on his face... "Yes it is Krillin, for good" Goku replied and smiled.
"So... What now? What do we do?" Jenna asked and as though Goku was expecting this question he quickly replied, "You will see..." His smile didn't fade off...
"Hey dad, do you know Kami was..."
"I know Gohan..." Goku quickly replied without even listening to the question...
"He will be here any minute now, and Trunks I want you to keep your eyes wide open, and you too Chiaotsu..."
"But how? I mean Piccolo's..." Jenna didn't want to complete the sentence, and Goku didn't let her, "You just wait..."
No one understood what Goku meant but they all were going to sooner than they had expected... Kami suddenly came out in front of them from thin air shocking the life out Krillin and Goten...
"Sorry to startle you... Goku, it's all done..." He said and gave him a big smile which he returned without any thoughts... Kami took the stick he always held and tapped it lightly on the floor of the Tower. As he did, a big doorway appeared behind him, which was half ajar... One could see a hefty amount of stairs inside it...
"What... is...that?" Goten managed to say as his mouth was wide open with the incidents that took place in the past few seconds...
"Here they come..." Kami exclaimed and the door completely opened, and from inside of it came out, Yamcha, Tien and Vegeta. All looking better than ever as if they were never a part of the death – defying battle that just concluded...
"Dad!? Is that really you?" Trunks shouted and ran towards Vegeta and gave him a tight hug, which much to his surprise Vegeta returned back. As far as anyone could remember this was the first time Vegeta showed affection for his teenage son in front of other people...
"Tien!" Chiaotsu also jumped up and hurried towards his best friend and hugged him...
"But how...?" Gohan asked his father who was having a big smile across his face as he saw Piccolo shaking his head.
"I had asked Kami to ask King Yamaha not to allow anyone to enter past the gateway to the other dimension..." Goku started off and Kami joined in between, "It took a lot of persuasion but finally he agreed. He said he didn't want any more people telling him that King Kai was the strongest...!"
They all laughed together and laughed heartily as now they could do so... They had once again saved their planet from a massive threat...
"So, any ideas on how we will get to our new home?" Krillin asked who was also, now, standing up without any support as his pain had partially subsided.
Kami looked at Goku and they both smiled, "You forgot about my Instant Transmission, didn't you?" Goku said with a smile on his face and continued, "You couldn't have possibly believed that I would miss out on the food of Chi – chi!?" Krillin gave an uncomfortable laugh...
"All right then everybody..." Goku had just started when someone put a hand on his shoulder, and that someone was the Prince of all Saiyans, Vegeta.
"Kakarot... Thank you..." He said looking straight into Goku's eyes with respect which he got back and then Vegeta did something unimaginable, something which no one who knew these two thought would happen. He held his hand out and Goku took it. They both shook hands...
