ME: Hey guys quick note before the story begins you will notice that I have made a name change for Trunks' sister(aka Vegeta's daughter). Bra is the Japanese version of her name but her Funimation/English name is actually Bulla and since most people grew up with her name being Bulla from the end of Z to GT and hopefully(if episode 31 is any indication when Funimation dubs the series) Dragon Ball Super, I will call her Bulla! I do apologize for the sudden change but I didn't want there to be any sexual innuendo from perverted fan boys because Bulma's whole family is named after undergarments! With that out of the way on to the next chapter!
One more thing *POW(Kara/Trunks')
" " outside point of view
Last time on Dragon Girl Z, Kara and Trunks were transported to their home worlds if they weren't destroyed with some surprises such as Astra not being in the Phantom Zone and Trunks meeting Vegeta's brother(his uncle) TARBLE! Meanwhile Non and Astra have put in place the mysterious Myriad but what is this plan and could this be the reason Champa and Vados intervened? Will John be able to fool Cat Grant into thinking he's Kara? What will happen when Alura's AI and Astra confront the both of them? Finally will Kara and Trunks be able to break free from their ultimate fantasy and what will be the consequences? Well all of that will be answered RIGHT NOW ON DRAGON GIRL Z!
Chapter 26 It's a Wonderful Life; Hard Decisions!(pt.2)
Pan finally arrived to find Alex looking at a family picture of a younger version of herself and Kara and she said "you know I too experienced some of that same resentment for an adoptive family member"; "you did?" Alex asked. Pan was about to answer but suddenly she felt another power level and cried "LOOK OUT! BEHIND YOU!" Alex whirred and fired off several rounds of bullets but of course they didn't affect Astra and before Pan could make a move she sped over and began to choke Alex's neck; "put her down or you'll be sorry" Pan sternly warned her with her eyes flashing teal. "I came here to help Kara not fight" the Kryptonian retorted to Pan; "you tried to kill her before" Alex gasped to Astra trying hard to breath "why should I trust you now?" "Kara saved me from a death without honor" Astra harshly replied "as a fellow soldier I expect you understand the meaning of that". "Well start talking what is going on with Kara" Pan demanded; "Kara has been attacked by a telepathic parasite known as the black mercy" Astra explained to them. "It has her in some sort of coma" Alex said questioning her further "her brain waves are active its like she's awake". "The Black Mercy has her trapped in life-like hallucinations" Astra explained in a slightly concerned tone; "a parasite? Seriously?" Pan groaned interrupting the Kryptonian "sounds like the weapons the Tuffles used when they wanted to wipe us out. Of course they never got to use it because they went extinct".
"There's more to it monkey" Astra quipped(which made Pan growl at Astra's derisive tone to address the sayians) then smiled " its her perfect fantasy life; one that grows more and more real with each passing moment". "How do I wake her out of it?" Alex asked the Kryptonian "Kara must reject the fantasy herself" prompting Alex to ask "but if she doesn't know it isn't real how can she reject it?" "I can tell you how to help her" Astra stated eloquently then added "but you have to trust me". "Last time I trusted you six soldiers died" Alex pointed out to Astra; "yea I rather trust Vegeta than you Kryptonian" Pan spat adding on to Alex's statement. However Astra looked at the broken photograph Astra stated "I knew there was more to you and my niece"; "she's my sister" Alex replied. "If she's my sister and I'm her aunt then what does that make us?" Astra rhetorically asked; "nothing" Alex responded (Supergirl Episode 13 "For The Girl Who has Everything"). Pan then asked "let me ask you something Astra on your home planet did they tell you to avoid or fear anyone"? "There were two we were told us not to mess with: Champa the Destroyer and Bortamo"(Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F) Astra said growing pale as she recall the warning by the council.
[A/N in the movie DBZ: Res F(not super unfortunately) Frieza said his father told him not to mess with Beerus the Destroyer and Majin Buu so the correlation(for Supergirl) is the Kryptonian council telling Alura and Astra never to mess with Champa the destroyer and Bortamo. For those who don't know Bortamo is one of Champa's fighters and the first one to go up against Goku in the tournament(in Chapter 8 of the manga). Many DBZ tubers postulate that Bortamo is the Universe 6's version of Majin Buu(since Champa revealed he had a "hidden power" when Bortamo was overpowered by Base Goku). Of course this is subject to change but for now Bortamo is universe 6's Buu until proven otherwise by the Manga/Anime. Now that I've finished this PSA back to the story]
Alex didn't know who Champa and Bortamo were(and neither did Pan) but Pan did hate that Astra called saiyans monkeys and spat "I don't know why you and Non call Saiyans by such mindless names all it does is reveal your own fear and ignorance"(Dragon Ball Z episode 104 "Frieza Defeated!"). "Do not let your hatred for me blind you now" Astra stated then asked "are you ready to listen or not?"(Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl who has Everything") "I still say Dende is our best option" Pan muttered to herself as they flew to Catco to meet up with James and Winn without Cat Grant noticing them so that Kara wouldn't be fired leaving Astra behind to explain what was it she could do to save Kara's life.
*Trunks POW
Never in my life did I feel so at peace with myself; not even defeating the androids and telling Kara my feelings doesn't compare. "I can eat more than you can brother" Tarble teased; "oh no you don't I'm the prince of all Saiyans you will bow to my superior appetite" dad replied with his mouth full. "You see?" my grandmother asked grandpa Vegeta "Tarble loves his brother and wants to emulate him my king". "If that was the case then he would take his training more seriously Frieza's really counting on him" Vegeta chomped with his mouth full of food. After the meal I went around to explore some more and saw my dad's room; it wasn't much of anything mostly saiyan armor and equipment along with a crude drawing of himself as a Super-Saiyan that he drew. There was another drawing that I saw that was Tarble's creation with him and Vegeta with their arms around each other and in Saiyaigo(the official tongue of our people that dad has been teaching me) Tarble wrote "I have the best brother in the universe".
"Maybe this is where my dad began to get his pride puffed up" I thought to myself "Tarble had a role in it". "Actually" Jeremiah said "Tarble was one of the few who actually kept your father's massive ego in check along with your grandmother. Even though your grandmother was gentle with him; her constant bickering with your grandfather was passed on to him". "That's not a surprise" I sighed then said "maybe it is better that I stay here". "Why?" he asked "you have a good life back there on Earth why do you want to throw it away?" "My life has been mostly one of pure misery" I pouted miserably "look at the situation now! If Planet Vegeta hadn't been destroyed Earth would be better off!" I spat. "You don't understand" Jeremiah sighed "just how much of a difference you have made"
"If Vegeta hadn't been destroyed everyone would be better off" I protested "mom, Pan, Gohan even Kara they all would be better off if Planet Vegeta hadn't been destroyed you know it would be better if I hadn't be born at all!" "What did you say?" He asked me "I said I wish I never been born that Planet Vegeta wasn't destroyed!" Jeremiah muttered something indistinguishable(Normal POW he said "what you think Yemma?" "Anything to snap him out of this fantasy" Yemma replied "yea that will do okay" he muttered) then turning to me he said "you got your wish; you've never been born" then the wind started to blow and the scene swirled causing him to yell "you don't have to make that much of a fuss!" "What's going on?" I asked in confusion watching the scene shift around me "You've never been born you don't exist your home world never was destroyed so you have no obligations, no worry, no Gohan fretting over your conditions, nothing" My eyes widened and I asked him "so what does this mean"; "it means" he responded "that now you will get the opportunity to discover what life would be like on Earth if Planet Vegeta was never destroyed and you were never born" (It's a Wonderful Life) and I felt myself being pulled to the Earth violently.
*Normal POW
Everyone felt like there was a major argument about to break out; it started innocently enough with Winn asking John "okay so so you were her"[he was referring to John posing as Kara to Cat and them]" "I don't have time for explanations" he retorted sharply then turning to Alex he stated "there is no way you're doing this[Astra's idea] its way too dangerous"! "Its the only way we can stop the black mercy" Alex argued back to Hank; "we can modify our virtual reality tech so that I can enter Kara's mind and convince her to reject the hallucinations". "Unless Astra's playing both you and Pan" he disagreed; "have any of you considered what it will do to Kara if you do this?" James asked suddenly with Winn agreeing saying "you're basically yanking her out of heaven I mean its going to be slightly traumatic" (Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl who has Everything").
"If we had that attitude then no one would've been revived Winn" Pan argued referring to Trunks being revived by Shenron and the rest of the Z fighters being revived by Porunga. "What the hell are you talking about Pan? Raising the dead is impossible even with the greatest of technology!" James protested. John sighed and replied "Agent Danvers has considered it which is why she came here";"there's still another way" Pan protested which caused Hank to ask "how many times will you talk about this Dende fellow? It's not like he's going to help". Pan just grumbled to herself as Alex stated "Kara is going to need James and Winn when she wakes up" with Pan adding "and Trunks will need Bulla and Piccolo in addition to his mom, Vegeta, myself and Gohan Hank". "I know they're security issues" Alex began to say but was interrupted by John's "take them". "I thought I was going to have to argue that point a lot harder" Alex sighed "so did I" Pan agreed. "I'm beginning to see why she and Trunks value them so much" Hank said then getting up he added "I'll see you back at the DEO after I deal with Cat".
Vegeta was still waiting impatiently for Dende to arrive with Bulla attending to Trunks and Winn attending to Kara. "Hey Kara" Winn whispered, "wake up";"now I know how Goku must've felt like when he was battling that horrific heart virus" Bulla whispered communicating with Trunks but she then smiled "but you were the one who saved him by giving him that antidote and if he could beat that virus you can beat these illusions". James wondered what Bulla meant as he didn't know about Trunks' time traveling adventures; in a rare moment of emotional love for Trunks Vegeta said "you better get out of this one alive son; your woman needs you now more than ever. Show everyone the power of a true saiyan bond" before walking outside to take a moment to calm himself from bursting out in tears.
Alex was waiting too and when Hank came in she asked "how'd it go with Cat Grant"; "that must've been a hoot to see" Vegeta chuckled. "Lets deal with one disaster at a time" Hank sighed remembering as he(as Kara) broke down in tears saying that 'she' was sorry about what had happened. Now you may think that it may've raised her suspicions(as Cat didn't tolerate tears and Hank didn't know about Kara going on a date with Adam) but instead she decided to give the fake Kara the day off because the mogul couldn't deal with whatever "Kara" was dealing with right now. "Can the Lab modify the VR?" Hank asked Alex "merging my conscious with Kara is beyond anything they've ever done. They need days which is time neither her or Trunks have" Alex sighed. "We may have another problem" John said "Kryptonian technology would've been able to predict these solar storms the timing of the attack on Kara and Trunks can't be a coincidence" "That's exactly what I've been saying this entire time" Vegeta grumbled; "as a warrior I know a diversion when I see one believe me I've been on the wrong end of deception before"(referring to when the Earthlings managed to get the password for Porunga under Frieza's nose and then later on his own deception when they summoned the dragon). "They're using the interface of the system to hide their next move" Alex theorized which caused Vegeta to think 'no wonder I haven't been able to sense where they're going to attack'. She then muttered "we need a miracle now" (Supergirl episode 13 "For The Girl Who has Everything")"then let me help you" a new voice rung out.
"About time you got here dust mite" Vegeta growled "what took you so long?" Alex and John turned to the source and saw Piccolo alongside a shorter Namek with a large stick in his hands. "Who the hell is he?" John demanded wanting to know what was going on; but then Vegeta sensed another power-level and cried out "not you again"; "is that why you have your goons bring me up here Agent Danvers?" the voice of Maxwell Lord rung out in question. "Maxwell Lord I would say its a pleasure but you blasphemed against me" Dende snarled; "what are you talking about? How did I blasphemy against you?" Max asked the Namekian. "If my memory serves you said "this Bizzaro…she's humanity's guardian" did you not?" Dende retorted "How did you know that?!" Alex asked astonished that he would what Max said; "have you ever heard the blasted song about a fat man in a red suit with 8 tiny moose like creatures?" Vegeta asked Alex. "Yes but what does he have to do with this guy?" she asked irritated(having long grown out of believing in Santa). "Well you can say he[pointing to Dende] is the Namekian Santa except he doesn't deliver gifts" Vegeta grumped. "Sounds just as illogical as aliens" Max laughed which caused Piccolo to sharply rebuke him saying "take care of how you speak to the guardian of the Earth". "Guardian of the Earth?" John asked astonished; "yes" Dende replied then introducing himself he said "hi my name is Dende". "I thought Piccolo was the last Namekian" Max asked(having been aware of that ever since spying on Trunks) "well in a way he is" Dende smiled "he's the last Warrior type Namekian"; "warrior type are they the same as the White Martians?" a now interested(but wary) John asked. "On our home planet we had 2 types of Namekians but unlike the Martians they had no need for violence" Piccolo explained "Warrior Types like Piccolo and the Namekian he fused with Nail are proficient in combat most of the Warrior types ranged from 1,000 to 42,000 but Nail was the strongest at 42,000" Dende added (Dragon Ball Wikipedia: Warrior Type Namekian).
"So this Nail person fused with you Piccolo" John asked the Namekian "yes out of necessity because he was no where near Frieza's level of strength. I do have to admit now that I hated the idea at first because Nail told me if I fused with my counterpart Kami Frieza would be on his knees begging me for mercy." (Dragon Ball Z Kai episode 37 A Nightmare Transformation! Frieza's Power-Level one Million"?!). Instead I had chosen to separate myself from him until years later but when Nail and I fused we were more powerful than Frieza's 2nd form; of course it wasn't until Goku transformed into a Super-Saiyan that Frieza finally met his match even if it took coming here to finish him for good." "So how does one become a Guardian?" John asked "well for that you have to be in the second class called the Dragon Clan" Dende explained "we were very large at one time but a shift in climate wiped most of us out except for the Nameless Namekian(Piccolo's original form) and elder Guru. However there are two paths most Dragon Clans take after they master their skills Poko Priests which can be made into horrible monsters like Piccolo's father King Piccolo did or Healing Namekians(Dragon Ball Wikipedia, Healer Type Namekian). I am a healer".
Alex's head was figuratively spinning with all of this information that they were giving and asked Piccolo "have you ever wanted to defuse from Kami or Nail?" "I'm afraid that's impossible" the Namekian wryly answered "once one Namekian fuse together with another it can't be undone (Dragon Ball Wikipedia Namekian Fusion); that's why we needed to Dende to replace Kami as Guardian I may have been part of Kami but I have no interest in meddling in the affairs of humans. Personally I rather train and defend Earth and everyone on it" Piccolo explained being very careful not to mention that the real reason was that the Dragon Balls would turn to stone(such like they did both times he died or his younger counterpart's fusion with Kami leading to Dende's appointment during the Cell Games) if there was no guardian. "Heh guess that's the Kami in you Piccolo; he was always one for strong morals" Dende chuckled to himself "if the Namekians fused together Cell also would stand no chance and I think he would be as strong as Gohan is currently. [A/N Dende is talking about something that actually happened from Dragon Ball Multiverse. The character- named Gast Carcolh- the creation of fusing every Namekian together and basically he's stronger than Fat Buu(basically Buu saga Super-Saiyan 3 Goku) which leads to Dende stating that he would be as strong as Super-Saiyan 3 Gohan okay back to the story].
However that just caused John to be irate and ask "well if you can heal then why didn't you come when Supergirl's powers shorted out?" That caused a reaction in Max and he complained "come on; we all know who Supergirl really is". "Well the reason I didn't is because I can only restore Ki however it is beyond my healing powers to rehabilitate someone who used a power that rendered her human for 48 hours" the Namekian answered ignoring Max's snide statement(and being unsure if Shenron could restore Kara's powers) then added "however, I can help Kara and Trunks by establishing a mental link; I've been tutored by Elder Mori and Piccolo in terms of increasing my psychic powers. Of course Piccolo is the best in that department[which caused John to cry "hey"] but that doesn't mean that I'm just as capable of handling it".
"Even so my sister and Trunks still needs Max's help" Alex replied; "maybe I help them you help me" he suggested "something like early release for brilliant behavior". "You're playing with fire if you think this guy can help Trunks and Kara Alex" Piccolo crossly interrupted "unless you forget that it was Max who created Bizzaro with the sole intent of destroying her". "That's not on the table" came the voice of Hank Henshaw agreeing with Piccolo; Alex decided to be blunt and stated(in a serious tone) "the same aliens that attacked your lab are coming back for more"; "the enemy of your enemy Max. You may be bad but what Astra and Non are planning are far worse than you could even imagine" Dende wisely stated to the mogul which caused him to relent and ask "what do you need me to do?" (Supergirl episode 13 "For The Girl Who has Everything")"Oh the Irony" Vegeta mused noting the eerie similarities between this and the androids "its the exact same thing when everyone thought I would kill Kakarot after both the androids and Cell were defeated in the past that the boy visited". Alex wanted to ask what he meant by that but the saiyan prince quickly dashed back inside before she could.
Meanwhile Astra was having a very important meeting with her surrogates over the plan "we will hit the six targets simultaneously" she was telling them "timing is of the essence" Non re-intenerated "the packages must be deployed before the humans or the monkeys have a chance to uncover our plan". "This is what we fought so hard for back on Krypton" Astra smirked evilly; "now is our chance to finish the job ready your men". One of the Generals nodded and they moved out and after they moved out Non asked "where were you" to Astra. "You dare question me?" she asked heatedly "we're on the verge of launching our campaign against the humans and the saiyans and you disappear without explanation so yes I dare question you" the Kryptonian generally noted critically. "Then ask me" Astra urged him with a false smile "is your heart in this war?" Non queried her; Astra hesitated for a second before replying "once Myriad is complete humanity and those Simian upstarts will be brought to their knees and this planet will be saved". Non nodded but said "I was afraid you went to the humans and the trash saiyans call 'hybrids' because of what I did to your niece and her lover" then he apologized saying "forgive me for questioning your loyalty" (Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl Who has Everything") and despite the assurance Non gave Astra knew right then and there that her husband couldn't be saved and he had to be stopped at all costs.
At the DEO, Dende was with Piccolo setting up with Max to help Kara and Trunks come out of their fantasy. Alex was outside talking to James "I need you to do me a favor" she said to him "name it" James answered. "I know Director Henshaw if he thinks I'm in trouble when I'm plugged into that thing he's going to pull me out whether I saved Kara or not I need you to stop him." She then declared "I either come back with my sister or I don't come back at all". Gohan(who was also there and waiting for Dende) also wanted to help Trunks so he added "same goes for me James, if at any time Piccolo or my daughter pleads to get me out, I want Bulma and Vegeta to stop them for doing so". James nodded and the two who were closer to both warriors than anybody went back in. "Are you ready for this Gohan" Dende asked him(still hoping that the hybrid would back out) "I am" Gohan firmly replied and added "and I'm not coming back without Trunks" "The helmet would instantly allow you to connect with Supergirl's conscious" Max was telling Alex "that will allow you to experience whatever is going on in Supergirl's head in real time. It's pretty brilliant actually". "Remember they have to reject the fantasies themselves" Hank reminded her(Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl who has everything") .
"If only you could use that same brilliance to do good instead of evil" Dende sighed to Max then added(to Alex) "I will use my powers to allow you to think up whatever you need to survive in there because I have a feeling there will be signs of hostility in there". "What about Gohan?" Alex asked concerned "Gohan has all the power he needs on his own" Piccolo assured Alex "but just in case" Dende added "I'm giving him this[shows a Ki restriction band] to ensure he doesn't turn Super." "Why?" John asked "that is only a legend on our world" Vegeta explained a bit impatiently "if the boy shows he achieved it then he will be put to death" "Gee how nice of you to mention that now" Bulla sarcastically said "lets just get on with it" Piccolo grumbled to which John warned "remember you and Gohan have to get Supergirl and Trunks to reject this fantasy themselves". "Come back to us Kara/Trunks" came the respective voices of James and Pan "we need you"
"Is this going to work?" Alex asked both Dende and Max as Gohan wordlessly allowed the eye goggles to go over his eyes "don't know" he responded unsure of himself for once "it will work" Dende insisted and when the goggles were over their eyes the guardian waved his hands causing both Alex and Gohan to immediately fall asleep. "Sweet Dreams" Max(and to everyone Else's surprise Vegeta too) whispered to them as they traveled back into the past. "Kara/Trunks!" they gasped upon waking up on their respective home planets; then after taking a moment to regather themselves they muttered "oh my God/oh my Dende(Gohan) "I'm on Krypton(Alex)/Vegeta(Gohan)!" (Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl who has everything")
*Kara's POW
I had no idea where Gohan was taking me on Earth what was the point if I didn't want to exist? It's my decision and I'm sticking to it for once! "Here we are Kara our first stop!" he exclaimed in an enthusiastic tone "I don't see anything different" I said observing the location. It was true National City(except for a few spots that I couldn't tell what the problem was) "remember Kara things aren't what they seem to be" Gohan cautioned and at that moment I heard sirens blaring far away! "Shoot" I cursed and was about to transform to go to the problem when Gohan cut in "uh uh uh" he wagged his finger; "Krypton was never destroyed so you never became Supergirl which means you can't help".
I just decided to ignore him and ran right into the heart of the problem and was horrified "JUSTICE IN THE NAME OF TOYMAN!" I heard and I was shocked to see "Winn?" My childhood friend turned to me and asked "who's calling me by that name?" "Winn!" I called "don't you remember me" I asked "I'm Kara your best friend!" "I have no friends" he coldly responded "what?" I asked in disbelief "you mean you don't remember?" "Remember what?" he asked "remember that you now work at Catco and you were the first one I choice to show myself as Supergirl with James? I mean Pan told me you were about to confess you loved me for crying out loud after your father went back to jail". (Supergirl episode 11 "Childish Things").
"You're wrong lady" he informally said "I've aligned myself with my father and killed Dunholtz ever since then we've spend every moment together and you know what I love it" I was stunned by this revelation then he shoved me out of the lady saying "if you were ever my friend lady than I sure as hell don't care about you now whoever you are!" Gohan reappeared to me and I asked him "why did Winn turn evil? He told both me and Pan he hated his father for abandoning him." "That may be true his heart may have been hurt but it was you who showed him kindness by being his friend. Your friendship with Winn showed him there was a better way than revenge and hatred. Don't you see Kara? If you weren't adopted by the Danvers Winn would never learn the meaning of kindness and love and that's exactly what you and my adoptive great-great granddaughter have given him". I watched in stunned silence as he brought me to another part of the city.
"Look down there" Gohan instructed me and there before my very eyes was "MS. GRANT?!" I asked recognizing my boss immediately. Cat looked disheveled and it was clear that her clothes were in ruins. "Oh hello" she greeted me in an airy voice "and who might you be?" "Ms. Grant don't you know me? I'm your secretary Keera" I said using the name Cat frequently called me. "Secretary?" Cat asked "of what?" I was horrified and said "of Catco world wide media" "that company?" Kat asked "lady I was removed from the board months ago because one of my underlings named Armstrong found that I had an illicit son and together with Ms. Briefs brought me down." "No that's not true" I muttered "Pan and James helped bring Armstrong to justice". "Never heard of James" Cat said dismissively(which shocked me further) then added "and as the daughter of Gohan, I consider her to be a bastard child and if you associate yourself with them you must be one as well" and walked away.
I was speechless "it was you along with your friends that persuaded Cat Grant to keep her position" Gohan stated "but because you were never adopted Cat Grant had to resign from Catco. The poor woman; she never got to reconcile with her son Adam". "But it was me who caused that to happen" I muttered "exactly; 2 lives permanently ruined because you weren't adopted" Gohan said to me. "NO!" I said "I refuse to believe that" then shouted "you're crazy you know that I'm going home!" "Home?" he asked me "you have no home" "Oh shut up" I retorted "I'm going home and I'm going there ALONE!" (It's a Wonderful Life)and suddenly felt myself shooting across the land towards my home. "If my friends and boss don't know who I am I do know 2 people who would" I said to myself as I approached my home by the beach.
*Trunks POW
I felt a bit strange being here on Earth once more; it seemed like everyone and everything was pretty normal as far as I could tell. "Then again" Jeremiah whispered "you could be wrong take a look at this" and immediately saw something horrible. "Shenron?" I asked as I heard a cry saying "I wish that I would be emperor of the World!" I knew that voice immediately "Pilaf" I growled and cried "NOO!" However it was too late "Your wish has been granted" Shenron said and the Dragon Balls scattered across the four quadrants of Earth. "Hey you" Pilaf said pointing to me "what are you doing aren't you going to bow to your new emperor?" "Your not the emperor Pilaf Goku will stop you" I snarled; "Goku whose that" asked the dog creature named Shu; "probably another one of the girl's friends" Mai answered(although it was tough for me to acknowledge her due to our history). "Its of no matter" Pilaf said dismissively "the boy can't do anything anyway; I put the girl and all of her friends inside of that pyramid they'll bake to death" (Dragon Ball episode 12 "A wish to the Eternal Dragon").
"Had it not been for Goku" Jeremiah gently said "the dragon would have never granted Pilaf his insidious wish; the Earth would not fall into his hands". "No I whispered in disbelief and in an instant I was whisked away to another scene. "AHH" I heard a childish voice screech; "help me!" she cried. "Chi-Chi?!" I asked recognizing the kid version of Goku's wife but I couldn't reach her as the Castle burned. "HOLD ON!" I cried quickly rescuing her. "Thank you" she sniffled "but this wouldn't happen if Daddy wasn't so mean I wish he was nicer" she confessed. "But when Goku mentioned Master Roshi and Son Gohan as his mentors he realized he could be trusted to get your father's dragon balls! Furthermore Roshi himself came and berated him over killing people because they wanted his treasure and he became a better man afterwards (Dragon Ball episode 13 The Kamehameha Wave)" I told Chi-Chi. "I heard of Roshi but I never heard of this Goku who is he?" she asked then added "I have to save the castle".
I was speechless that Chi-Chi didn't recognized her own husband but I had no time as I cried "hey wait up!" and flew her myself to Turtle Island; "you can FLY?!" she asked; "yea I've done this a million times" as we descended on Roshi's island. "What's all that racket out there" came the voice of the old pervert. "Is this guy really Roshi" Chi-Chi whispered to me "yes in the past you doubted him until Goku revealed he was the real deal" I replied. "Who are you" Roshi asked me "Roshi don't you remember me I'm Trunks we're fellow fighters" I told him; "uh never heard of you" he replied to my shock. "Well" Chi-Chi said now convinced that he was Roshi, "do you know who this Goku fellow is?" "Never heard that name in my life" Roshi repeated "but he's the adopted son of your master Gohan!" I cried out in horror.
"Gohan never had a son all of his life" the old man said sadly "he died at a ripe old age and I've spend most of my life out here without a care in the world. The only pleasure I had these last few weeks is when Bulma gave me a special gift" Roshi said in a perverted voice. "PERVERT YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED" Chi-Chi cried shooting him with her laser "I was a fool thinking you would help" she cried and before I could protest the scene faded out. "You see" Jeremiah asked "had it not been for Goku, Roshi would have never come out of his retirement and helped put out the fire. Furthermore he wouldn't have participated in any martial arts tournament it was Goku who did that. All that changed because Vegeta was never destroyed by Frieza"; "your saying how things would change if Goku hadn't been here but what about me? This is my life we're talking about here" I protested. "That's what I'm about to show you; its time that your eyes opened up to the real truth of how much you make a difference" Jeremiah stated to me changing the scene once more.
*Kara's POW
"No I refuse to believe this I wont believe this" I thought to myself as I flew home desperate for someone to recognize me or at least recognize Kal. Suddenly I saw another figure on the Earth in Metropolis(which surprised me) and landing a few feet away(so that I wouldn't startle him) I asked "James?" "Yea who are you?" he asked me; "come on James you know who I am" I laughed hoping he was joking "I'm Superman's cousin Kara Zor El". "Superman never mentioned he had a cousin to me; he doesn't have the time for saving people";"then what happened to those kids on that plane?" I asked in shock "All those kids and the people on that oil rig died cause Superman doesn't care. Zod, Astra and Non wanted to kill us all but Frieza persuaded him to work for his empire and conquer other planets. If you associate yourself with them then you are just sick and I feel no remorse for you" and walked away.
"Do you see?" Gohan asked gently "if you weren't adopted Zod and Astra would have free reign to terrorize the universe. It was because your were adopted that the universe even has a semblance of peace". "But Non still terrorizes Earth" I pointed out to him "and that's directly related to my mother". "True" Gohan reluctantly agreed "but do you know how many planets and people were killed as a result of your planet not being destroyed?" and seeing my silence he said "thousands of planets and millions of people all because of you Kara all because of you". "NO THIS IS MADNESS; THERE IS SOMEONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT ME" I screamed and flew off faster than ever to Midvale.
Once I got there I was relived to find that the cottage I did grow up in was still standing 'good at least this place escaped all this madness' I thought. I knocked on the door and the woman that opened it I swore looked cross. "Well?" she asked me; "mother" I breathed out "mother?" Eliza asked skeptically "what do you want?" "Mother this is Kara I thought surely you would remember me" I pleaded to Eliza "Kara who's that? If your looking for room there's no vacancy" she answered back to me. "Mother listen please help me" I cried "I have to come in..I don't know what it is something's happened to everybody. Please let me come in and keep me here until I get over it". Eliza looked at me quizzically and asked "get over what? I don't take in strangers unless they're send here by someone I know". "Well I know everyone you know" I insisted trying to rack my brain "your childhood friend Bulma Briefs"(I remember Trunks saying that she 'met' mom during her travels with Goku).
"You know her?" she asked me "well sure I do" "when did you see her last?" she asked again. "Few days ago over at the DEO and later on her house(Bulma insisted I stop in and get a snack before I flew home).[A/N I'm assuming Kara it on the way home (thus her need for water to carry it down when she got in the house as seen in the Bizzaro episode]. "Its a lie" mom spat "she's been in the insane asylum ever since she lost her business to media mogul Max Lord and if you ask me that's where you belong" and swung the door shut with a "THUMP!"
I ran out quickly my mother's words echoing in my head "strange isn't it" Gohan asked me eerily "each person's life touches so many other lives that when she's not around she leaves an awful hole doesn't she". "I've heard of things like this someone's using you to put me under some sort of spell" I said lashing out at him "well I'm going to get out of it I'll get out of it". "Now" I muttered to Gohan trying to think "the last place I do recall before all this madness began was my room"; "do you know where your room is?" Gohan asked "sure I know i know where I live its in National City" i called out to him and began to fly to my apartment in National City.
Trunks POW
I took a look around and asked Jeremiah "what am I supposed to be seeing here?" "you'll see Trunks" and all of a sudden I heard an all to familiar voice and it was singing "Mr. Sandman bring me a dream make him the cutest that I've ever seen give two lips like roses and clover then tell him that his nights..are over(Dragon Ball Z Abridged episode 42: Fear and Loathing in Ginger Town) "Cell?" I asked Jeremiah "But he was created by Gero to achieve vengeance on Goku?" making sure I kept my power level hidden. "That may be true" Jeremiah responded "but in this time frame Gero was defeated by the Man of Steel however like Goku he didn't kill him so Gero wanted to make his ultimate creation around him." "That bastard" I swore angrily to myself "that's not the only thing that has changed; thanks to you your father's different now as well" said Jeremiah changing the scene.
In an instant I saw my father exactly as he was when he battled Goku; pure evil. However that wasn't the only thing I saw; "my gosh" I muttered "is that Goku with them?" I asked Jeremiah. "It is" Jeremiah nodded sadly in confirmation "Frieza may have not destroyed his planet but that doesn't mean your father and Kakarot don't share the same goals. They want the same thing: immortality and you will see where they will get it from" and he faded out. In an instant I was on top of the lookout when I heard a voice that I knew to be Kami "you beasts of death are a plague; I will not allow you to obtain the dragon balls for the purpose of evil" it said. "Shut up old fool" Goku spat(which shocked me greatly) "I want immortality and I'm hell bent on getting it before my prince. Destiny has chosen me to become Emperor of the universe". "You're saying this because your brother was killed at the hands of my other half are you not?" Kami asked Evil Goku which caused me to ask "Piccolo still killed Raditz?" "Yes, he and John killed him before the Martian shaped shifted into Hank Henshaw of the DEO" Jeremiah gravely said "it was the last they saw eye to eye because obviously, Piccolo's heart was evil and John was sick of violence and bloodshed".
I knew in my heart that it was Gohan that caused Piccolo to change into a good guy but refusing to believe Jeremiah's logic I said "no I refuse to believe that I won't there is someone who knows me!" and in a blaze of energy I took off to Capsule Corps. I thought it was ruined during the Androids but what I saw was far worst than even that. I did sense my mother's energy however it was deep underground and quickly descending down a secret hole I found the place where mom bunked out and knocked. "Well?" she said "what do you want?""Mother this is Trunks I thought surely you remember me" I pleaded. "Mother?" she asked me "I'm not your mother; if your looking for a place to stay I'm sorry I have to remain hidden lest those murdering Kryptonians Saiyans or Frieza finds me" almost closing the door. Well I know everyone you know" I insisted trying to rack my brain; "your old friend Master Roshi" giving him an example. "You know him?" she asked doubtfully "well sure I know him" I insisted "'when did you see him last?" she asked. I hesitated; Roshi was dead but that didn't mean I had to let mom know that as I answered "a few months ago when I told him about there being more aliens on Earth". "That's a lie" Mom spat "Old Man Roshi keeps to his perverted magazines and keeps himself hidden like a hermit and if you ask me that's what you are mister. A perverted hermit wanting to make fun of a woman tired of life NOW GOODBYE!" and slammed the door shut in my face.
I went above ground quickly almost desperately and was met once again by Jeremiah; "strange isn't it" he mused to me "how one person's life affects and touches so many people that when he doesn't exist it leaves a hole in their heart doesn't it?"(It's a Wonderful Life). "There has to be a way out of this" I growled back "I have to find a way out of this". My saiyan side began to speak to me "there is a way boy the bond". "Of course" I replied to myself "if anyone would know who I am its Kara because we have began to bond to each other" and for the first time I began to see a way out of the madness I was in.
Kara's POW
Upon reaching National City(the area I was in was the outside on the Toyman's carnival) Gohan asked "you sure this is National City?" I looked around but it looked awfully desolate and I replied "I don't know I'm not sure of anything anymore" I look out and see nothing but grave-marks and headstones of different individuals[A/N think of the graveyard scene of its a wonderful life if you want a visualization] and stated "all I know is that this should be National City where are all the sky scrapers and office buildings?" "All the wars the Earth had gone through over the years have destroyed the sky scrapers and buildings because even though Krypton wasn't destroyed Non and Zod still took out their anger on this world" Gohan sadly explained then added "then there's the White Martian".
"The White Martian?" I asked astonished "but Pan and I defeated it"! "Pan never got involved in that battle because it was John that made that critical friendship with Bulma that led Pan to defend his honor and you never became his friend" Gohan stated "now the last of the Martians are dead". I looked over all the tombstones but it was one that caught my eye; seeing me look at it intently Gohan stated "your sister Alex Danvers got on a flight back to National City and never made it home". "THAT'S A LIE!" I shrieked emotionally "ALEX DANVERS WORKS FOR THE DEO WITH JOHN JONES; SHE SAVED MY LIFE BY IMPAIRING BIZZARO AND THE LIVES OF EVERY AGENT ON THAT SQUAD WHO WENT ON THAT MISSION TO RETRIEVE JOHN BACK FROM MY AUNT". "Every man in that mission died; Alex wasn't there to save them because you weren't there to save Alex" Gohan retorted then after digging I discovered the day of her death was the same day the plane flight was going to Geneva. "You see Kara?" Gohan asked me as I looked at Alex's tombstone "you really had a wonderful life! Don't you see what a mistake it would be if you threw it away?"
I was shocked by Gohan's words but I decided to try one last measure to see if this would truly become reality "where's Trunks?" I asked. "Oh well I I'm not supposed to tell you" he stuttered in fear as if he was hiding something; "I don't know how you know all of this but you know where is he? where is he? Tell me where my boyfriend is!" I pleaded holding his neck up close to me. "I'm not supposed to tell you" he frantically said "please Gohan tell me where he is" I pleaded; "you're not going to like it" he warned. "Where is he?" I asked; "he's a bitter man" he replied; "where is Trunks WHERE IS HE?!" (It's a Wonderful Life)I roared. "He He's about to finish up his training in the GR" Gohan gasped out to me and knowing where the GR was located(West City) I took off once more.
Trunks' POW
Jeremiah noticed that I was smiling to myself and he asked "why are you smiling"? "Because" he responded "I figured how to get out of this spell you put me under and get back to normal". "How?" he asked me "your daughter" I replied "if you haven't noticed from Otherworld I started to bond with her and that cannot be broken unless one or both partners die". "That may be true" Jeremiah validated then asked "but are you sure that it'll be the same now that Planet Vegeta still lives?" "I don't know" I murmured unsure "but I have to try!" and took off in a blaze of power to try my best and began to track down Kara's familiar comforting energy signal.
However on the way to Kara there was seemingly no sign of life; "Cell" I muttered to myself "he did this to these people". There was one shirt on the ground and sifting through the pile I saw a broken camera. "James" I muttered shocked to see that Cell had absorbed him then I saw another shirt strewn on the ground. Walking over to it I saw the toy doll Winn's father gave to him and clutching it in my hands when Jeremiah showed up saying "this could have been prevented if only Vegeta was destroyed" "how?" I asked confused "I thought Cell wouldn't exist in this timeline."
Jeremiah looked sadly at me and replied "the red ribbon army was defeated by Superman as a result Gero got DNA from him and the Saiyans to make his perfect creation for revenge. He also designed the androids to be stronger than Kara." "No" I whispered "the worst of it has not even been told Trunks now you will know the chain reaction of Vegeta not being destroyed has done" and disappeared "Come back" I yelled then whispered; "this is all my fault". "If this is your fault" I heard a voice say "then I have no choice but to execute justice on you" and turning to the source I whispered with tears beginning to form "Kara".
Normal POW
Back at the DEO everyone was still concerned about the satellites being down "sir" Agent Vasquez was telling Hank "the storm knocked the satellite offline we're blind". "We need them back up and running if we have any hope of discovering Non's next move" Hank methodically replied which led Pan(who was outside with Winn) and upon her urging him to speak he asked "have you guys considered Non's next move um involves the satellites going down? I mean he could be using our technology against us". Hank scrunched his eyebrows together before responding "that's an interesting theory Mr. Schott "care to explore it with my team?" "Uh no I need to be there for Kara" he politely declined; "best thing you can do for Supergirl and the Gold Fighter is to keep the world turning until they get back to defend it" he retorted. "Uh point me to a computer" Winn said "let's go" (Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl Who has Everything") Hank called which caused Pan to exclaim "wait for me!" You think you can handle this?" Winn asked Pan critically "trust me I was raised around technology greater than this" the daughter of Gohan stated(referring to Trunks' time machine and Bulma's dragon radar) "I think I can handle a simple computer operation". "She's got a strong spirit Mr. Schott" Hank mused to Winn which caused his face to burn with embarrassment as they went off to try and get to the bottom of Non's plan while hoping that Alex and Gohan were doing well trying to get Trunks and Kara to reject their ultimate fantasies.
Alex felt her breathing labored as she tried to adjust to Krypton's increased gravity. 'Dende said I could think up anything I needed' she thought 'lets see if this works' and concentrating hard Alex felt a gun coming into her right hand. "Incredible" Alex muttered amazed and she began to walk through the various corridors to try and find her sister. Thankfully she was aided by various voices "Kara was a natural in court today" the voice of Alura rang out "Kal-El you would've been so proud of your cousin". "I noticed your mother and I were not the only ones who came to watch you today" came a male voice whose name was Zor-El(Kara's father and Kal-El's uncle). Zor-El was hinting that a boy was also there watching her niece's performance in court. "Del-Or seems like a very nice young man" Alura said to Kara hoping that she would get into a relationship with him. "Boy" Zor-el corrected his wife then added with a smile "and yes I like him very much. Clearly Kara does to or she would not be spending so much of her free time with him". 'What the hell' Alex thought 'has Kara forgotten about Trunks?' ;"father" Alex heard Kara laugh in embarrassment(which did give Alex brief hope that she hadn't forgotten the demi-saiyan) but when Alex called out "Kara" she asked "who are you?"(Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl Who Has Everything")shocking her.
Gohan experienced the same thing except that he was more used to the gravity thanks to his advanced training. He didn't need anything from Dende but nevertheless Gohan kept the energy suppressant device given to him by the Guardian of the Earth. This was done so that the Saiyans wouldn't be able to discover that Gohan was a hybrid or that he could transform into a Super-Saiyan. Gohan carefully walked making sure he wasn't heard while keeping an ear out for Trunks. Suddenly the hybrid heard voices "the boy did a marvelous job in court today my prince" Gohan heard and was shocked to hear that it was feminine. Specifically it was the voice of Trunks saiyan grandmother bragging about Trunks to both Vegeta and Tarble; "he's so natural its scary Tarble could learn a lot from him" Gohan heard Vegeta(the King). 'Tarble? who's Tarble' Gohan thought to himself but then he heard the voice of the King "that Celipa is quite the looker boy; you would do well to bond with her". [A/N for those who don't know Celipa was the original name that fans gave Goku's mom before it was revealed in Dragon Ball Minus(by Akira himself) that her name was Gine. In the story Bardock the father of Kakarot Tora and Fasha were beginning to bond together so my premise is that if Frieza didn't destroy the planet Fasha would've given birth to Celipa(who's their daughter) Okay back to my story].
"Indeed" another voice(which Gohan knew was Vegeta's) said "the boy would do well in bonding with her after all she is the daughter of one of Bardock's elite squad members Fasha. Their children would have quite the interesting potential". Gohan heard Trunks laugh and he was horrified to hear him state "when we're bonded I'm going to go at her all day and all night; our children would be the strong and they will show Kakarot and Frieza the meaning of true fear". "So dad wasn't send off of Vegeta because Frieza didn't destroy it" Gohan muttered and thought to himself 'had he forgotten about Kara?' but was disgusted by Trunks attitude and growled "this must be the doing of the Tuffle virus". Not being able to stand it anymore he went headfirst and cried out "Trunks!" "who are you?" he asked(the same as Kara asked Alex) and Gohan thought that it was the effects of the Tuffle virus that was causing his forgetfulness when it was really not Trunks. The real Trunks(like the real Kara) was with their respective 'spirit guides' to see what life would be like if their home planets weren't destroyed.
Kara's POW
I flew like a mad woman over to Capsule Corps hoping that Trunks at least recognized me and seeing him(he looked like a mess) and descending quickly I called "Trunks" however he seemed to ignore me and running after him I called again "Trunks don't you know me what happened to us?" "I don't know you let me go" (It's a Wonderful Life)he replied to me loosing himself and began to walk away. "Trunks wait" I called "you're my boyfriend; we fought against Non and Astra don't you remember?" I asked hoping to jog his memory. "You're crazy" Trunks coldly replied "and as for Non and the rest of his kind they can all go to hell" shocking me greatly. "Why?" I asked "not all Kryptonians are like that"; "name one" he challenged. "Kal-El and me" I replied "Kal-El is a murderer just like General Zod and Non. Kal's so confident in his powers its ridiculous" the saiyan spat to me in an enraged tone "he thinks that his kind is stronger than us saiyans but like I say they can all go to hell".
"Superman doesn't kill" I pointed out but before Trunks could reply I heard a voice(that not only was female but whom he never mentioned to me) cry out "Trunks!" "Who is this?" I angrily asked; "the leader of the resistance movement against all Kryptonians" he coolly answered. "Trunks who is this?" I heard her ask; "she claims to be my girlfriend and furthermore she's one of them" he answered. Her face grew angry at the mention of my race and spat "Kryptonian bastards they're responsible for all the madness and destruction"; "don't worry we will have our revenge on all Kryptonians" Trunks reassured the female then he pulled out what I knew was a flash grenade.
"Kryptonite" I gasped recognizing the radioactive material that the grenade was made of and fell to my knees gasping for breath. "Yes" he responded evilly "the greatest weakness of any Kryptonian; put it in a weapon like a sword and well lets just say he won't be bragging about strength for long". "But you wouldn't do that! You can't!" I cried out to him and grabbed his hand. Suddenly the woman slapped my hand away and screamed "don't you touch him" to me to which Trunks he angrily declared "THIS IS THE END TO ALL KRYPTONIANS! I WILL SHOW THEM YOU DON'T MESS WITH MY FAMILY! THEY HAVE MURDERED EVERYONE I CARE ABOUT; I WON'T LET THEM LIVE!" and after transforming into a Super-Saiyan 2 took off. 'No' I cried to myself mentally as the woman who was with Trunks sneered "this is the end for you Kryptonian" but before she could throw the grenade at me ending my life I felt Gohan teleport me away.
Trunks POW
Kara just looked at me not with kindness or the smile that I had grown to love but cold and emotionless. "Kara?" I asked her "don't you know me?" "I know enough" she said abruptly "your a murder just like the rest of them". "Rest of them? Rest of who?" I inquired; "the rest of those monkeys" and seeing the shocked look on my face she spat "those beasts of Death have destroyed civilization and made Earth it their playground for Frieza but the most arrogant of them is Kakarot". "Kakarot?" I asked shocked to hear that Goku had turned into a monster(even though I knew that was what he would've become had it not been for his accident)
"Yes Frieza has him and my cousin fight each other every day like wild animals" Kara spat "but why? I would think the two of them would want to work together to defeat him" I pointed out to her ."Kakarot's arrogance knows no bounds" Kara gritted her face full of rage "he and my cousin fight every day and their battles are so titanic they destroy planets and leave millions dead". "Your wrong Kara Kakarot and other saiyans cannot live without an atmosphere" I argued "its why Bulma and were so scared for his welfare when she learned that him and Frieza were duking it out on Namek. He was stronger but it didn't matter because Frieza can survive anywhere and Kakarot couldn't." "It doesn't matter" Kara grunted "when one planet goes Kakarot goes to Frieza's ship just as the same time the planet is destroyed; then when he's better he comes back for more!" "But one has to know IT in order to do that" I pointed out to Kara; "Kakarot learned IT" she spat "he did it to gain an advantage over my cousin because he knows the moment Kal is away from a yellow sun he becomes as weak as any other man."
"Then why is your cousin insistent on fighting a battle that would never end?" I logically asked her "that's why he's not; I am" she responded in an icy tone "and how may I ask will you do that?" Kara just smirked and pulled out something out of her suit compartments and I gasped "no not that anything but that!" What was that? Well Kara just pulled out Goku's version of Kryptonite(no not Chi-Chi or her frying pan)! Even though Goku was Kakarot in this timeline I knew all too well that he would 'share' the same weakness as his counterpart and seeing my shock Kara taunted "what's wrong? I thought Saiyans weren't afraid of anything? Don't tell me that the most powerful Saiyan warrior is afraid of needles." "I thought you believed in fairness" I argued using her argument against Astra and narrowing her eyes Kara screamed "I'M DONE WITH FAIR! KAKAROT HAS KILLED EVERYONE I HAVE LOVED INCLUDING MY SISTER! THAT IS UNFORGIVIABLE AND I REFUSE TO LET HIM BREATH A MINUTE LONGER! IF YOU AGREE WITH SUCH A BLOODTHIRSTY SAIYAN APE I FEEL NO SYMPATHY FOR YOU!" and flew towards me needle in tow behind her to no doubt impale me. Before she could finish executing her move, I felt Jeremiah save me.
Normal POW
It was due to Kara and Trunks' mental shock for seeing the people they loved act so cold that caused them to act cold to their loved ones. Such was the case for Kara as she said(to Alex) "I have no sister"-this was after she said "its me Alex your sister". Alex tried to reach her by explaining "Kara your suffering from the effects of a creature called the Black Mercy; its creating this illusion to incapacitate you back on Earth". "Earth?" Kara asked "its where you've been for the past 12 years" Alex explained "I've come to take you home". "I am home" Kara replied and looking at her mother she grabbed a weapon and put her sister down with an 'oof' (Supergirl episode 13 "For The Girl Who has Everything").
Gohan tried the same strategy Alex did by asking "don't you know me Trunks you're my adoptive brother" "I have no brother" Trunks responded "Trunks your suffering from the effects of the Tuffle Virus that they created to destroy us and now its creating this illusion to incapacitate you back on Earth" Gohan explained to the son of Vegeta. "Earth?" he asked quizzically "its where you've been raised all of your life; its your home!" Gohan stated trying to jog Trunks memory. "Planet Vegeta is my home hybrid scum" Trunks coldly replied causing Gohan to think 'well at least he knows that' and looking at his Father he grabbed a weapon like Kara did and attacked Gohan which(as he was unprepared for Trunks to assault him) fell to the floor with a groan.
At the same time Gohan and Alex's body began to twitch dangerously causing Hank to exclaim "we're losing them pull them out now!" "Pull damn it" Pan and Bulla screamed to Dende but just as she was about to force his hand(and Max moving in on Alex muttering "sorry Supergirl this just wasn't your day") James-as well as Piccolo and Vegeta- (to the shock of everyone but Bulma ) said "I can't let you do that". "Olsten, Briefs get out of the way" Hank ordered quickly getting his gun and while James put his hands up immediately Vegeta and Piccolo kept their hands to their sides. "Aren't you two going to raise your hands" Winn asked "you have no idea what we're capable off" Piccolo grunted to which Vegeta spat "I can destroy the whole solar system if I wanted to a human gun means nothing to me!" Winn was shocked over that statement but his thoughts were interrupted; "if we pull her out now we'll lose Kara!" James yelled to which Dende agreed and added "and Trunks. Pull Gohan out Bulla and we'll lose Trunks forever!"
"We're safe Kal" Kara assured her nephew grabbing her hand"I'm here"; "I'll take care of this traitor Tarble. There's no way I'll tolerate a freak like him on our planet" Trunks addressed Tarble when he took shelter when he realized that Gohan was a hybrid. "Anyone have some popcorn" Max joked trying to lighten the situation "shut up" Bulma replied. "Director Henshaw" James spoke up suddenly "I know how much you're worried about Alex but I'm begging you give her some more time!" "Time is not on our side James we need to get her and Gohan out now!" Bulla yelled then turning to Dende she ordered "get them out of there Dende!" "I am the one responsible for her safety" Hank raged to James "this is on my head Olsten!" 'I wonder if there's more to Hank's story with Alex's father that makes him this way' Dende thought to himself as he approached her body while Pan approached Dende "well she[Alex] asked me to stop you" James said putting himself in front of Hank. "Sorry Bulla but I will not allow it; Gohan gave James to order me and the Namek to stop you if something like this should happen". "What?" the both of them asked as James and Dende explained their reasoning "they(Gohan and Alex) knew you two would react this way if things went bad. So they came to me because they want to save both Kara and Trunks!"
"You don't think the both of us don't want that?" Hank and Bulla asked James and Dende simultaneously "we want them both back more than anything". "I know you do" James"and I can also see that Alex is more than just one of your agents" with Dende saying "and Gohan is more than a Z fighter and Kara more than a Kryptonian to you Bulla; they're family(the both of them said that)." "And the both of you want to protect them at all costs" James eloquently stated "I get that but if you and Bulla pull either of them out before she gets a chance to save her sister and Gohan his brother(Dende said that to Bulla) they will never look at you the same again; the both of you know that!" "I can't lose her" Hank whispered "and I can't lose Gohan" Bulla cried "and you won't" both James and Dende reassuringly told them "because Alex/Gohan(Dende) are a lot like Supergirl/the Gold Fighter(Dende) they always find a way(both) You just have to trust her/him(Dende)(Supergirl episode 13 "For The Girl Who Has Everything").
Kara's POW
I felt despair over the current situation; my boyfriend, my mom, my sister, my friends all not knowing me because of one stupid wish! "Now Kara" Gohan gently said in a grandfather like tone "you shouldn't give up"; "what's the point?" I sadly asked him. "Its obvious that once a wish is made it cannot be unmade; isn't that why you spirits say be careful what you wish for?" "Well you're right we normally would" Gohan chuckled then said "but I'm not that kind of person. I lived all my life in the belief that family and love is the most important thing possible." "Yes but because of me I have no Earth family, only that of Krypton" I pointed out to him "I wouldn't say that" he said with a grin and immediately I felt myself back with my family. "The high council has rendered our verdict on the alien spy. We impose the maximum penalty; banishment to the phantom zone" the voice of my mother rang out. I was a bit confused and wondered what was going on but soon got my answer.
Trunks POW
I now realized what I had done; thanks to me the Kryptonians and the Saiyans are at war with each other, Cell is on the loose again and there's not a thing I can do about it. I don't even know if Kami still lives that way I could ask the Dragon to undo all of this but based on what Kakarot did I don't think he will trust another saiyan. "Is that anyway for any man who loves my daughter to act?" Jeremiah asked me "I did act like this but only because I was alone" I gritted referring to the time after Gohan died before I met Goku. "True but you weren't alone your mother and Pan(although she was a baby) was there alongside you" Jeremiah softly retorted "and you yourself said that meeting Goku was like meeting a long lost brother". "Goku is different; he's not the same man I knew" I quietly mumbled; "so is everyone but you forget one important lesson; love. I laid my life down for an alien I didn't know and he promised to take care of my daughter and he has! If that's not love than I don't know what is and in a moment I felt myself no longer on Earth but back on Vegeta.
Normal POW
"The high council has rendered our verdict on the alien spy" Alura stated "we impose the maximum penalty; banishment to the Phantom Zone". "Kara if you take me away you and I will be trapped in here until the black mercy kills us" Alex pleaded eloquently to her sister; "do not listen to her" Zor-El retorted to Kara "once she's gone we'll be happy like we were before she came here". Kara's POW 'I remember her face but not her name who is she' I asked myself "that is your sister Kara and she risked her life at the behest of your friends to save you" Gohan's voice rung out in my head. "My...Sister?" I asked; "yes Kara she's your sister on Earth with your friends and she has come to save your life!" Gohan exclaimed "try to remember Kara remember before its too late!" Normal POW "Trunks if you allow your grandfather to kill us the both of us will cease to exist, and the Tuffle virus will triumph!" Gohan yelled to Trunks; "don't listen to him boy" Vegeta growled "you yourself said this is a hybrid and by law that is something completely unacceptable to our proud Saiyan heritage!" "Therefore" the voice of the King rumbled picking up a sword "we sentence you to be struck down and your ashes to be scattered throughout space just like we did with Broly". Trunks POW "What's going on who is that?" "Don't you know? Jeremiah asked "that's Gohan your adoptive brother and you my boy have condemned him to a life in exile with Broly". "My...brother?" I asked confused; "yes your brother and he has come to save your life" Jeremiah stated "don't make the same mistake twice!"
Normal POW "Why do you think they're trying to silence me?" Alex asked Kara "Its because they're afraid of what I have to say". Kara's POW 'Afraid my supposed sister afraid of my parents now that's a laugh!' "Trunks please don't listen to them; their arrogance blinds them to the truth! They may be your family but its clear they don't love you!" Gohan passionately exclaimed Trunks POW 'arrogance? there's a lot of adjectives I can use but arrogance is not one of them and love what do you know of love? You're a freak I now know what Kakarot feels like every day of his life and I don't want to go through mine the same way!' Normal POW "She's trying to confuse you with lies" Alura told Kara; "NO I AM TRYING TO REMIND YOU OF THE TRUTH!" Alex exclaimed to her sister. "Its clear that this boy is a blatant liar and we sayians do not tolerate lies" Tarble spat showing a bit of backbone; "that's because the truth of what has happened is far worse than any lie that I may spin; I'll tell you this though I never tell any lies my heart is pure!" Gohan retorted to them trying to shake free from his grandfather's strong grip.
"Life isn't perfect" Alex sobbed; "I know it can be hard and it can be lonely especially for you". "Trunks you know better than anyone in this room aside from me how much life sucks and can be hard and lonely" Gohan said trying to keep in his emotions "especially after I died; Pan and Bulma have told me of the nightmares you had and trained yourself till your body was ground into powder because you wanted revenge. The funny thing is that you were even stronger than I was when you were done because you believed that truth and justice will triumph!" "You have sacrificed and you have lost so much" Alex continued sobbing "I wish you had a life with your family but even if you did Kara it wouldn't be this because this isn't real". "Trunks you have told me multiple times that you wish you had a chance to see Planet Vegeta again" Gohan stated "heck you even went and gathered the dragon balls at least a few times to see if you could after they were re-energized. Even if the dragon granted you your wish Trunks it wouldn't be like this because this isn't real! Is she/he right Kara and Trunks thought to themselves 'are all this just an illusion of some sort'.
"And deep down Kara deep Down you know it" Alex stated passionately when the ground began to rumble underneath them; "your way to cleaver to be fooled Trunks after all you're the son of Bulma Briefs the smartest female scientist on Earth and you know none of this is real" Gohan stated to him with the ground began to rumble just like the ground on Krypton did. "I can't promise you a life without pain and loss because pain is a part of life" Alex cried to Kara "it makes us who we are; it what makes you a hero!" (Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl who has everything")and began to grunt to free herself but was subdued by the guards. "Life without pain is just a meaningless existence" Gohan stated "but you have to remember these words; use the pain of loss!", (Dragon Ball Z episode 156 "Bow to the Prince). Its all or nothing there is no in between (Dragon Ball Z episode 160 "Cell is complete"). Remember Trunks you are a hero!".
Finally freeing herself from the guards Alex gasped "you fight everyday to keep people from struggling like you have! I know you can remember please! If you try; please![gasps for breath]Please try Kara because Earth needs Supergirl!" "Supergirl" Kara muttered as she started to remember; 'I heard those words before Goku used them to encourage Gohan who in turn told his father not to hold anything back!' Trunks thought starting to recall the memories "Trunks you fight to keep people from people from losing the people they love like you have!" Gohan yelled beginning to get restrained by the guards again "I know you can remember; If you try please..please try because Earth needs the Gold Fighter now more than ever!" "Gold Fighter" Trunks muttered as he too began to remember" ;"yes remember that life" both Alex and Gohan cried out "with James and Winn and Hank; Kara(Gohan) and Trunks(Alex)! Your friends need you! AND I NEED MY SISTER(Alex)/BROTHER(Gohan)" they screamed passionately.
The ground rumbled again on both planets causing both to step up in their pleas "Kara/Trunks(Gohan) I can't choose this for you; you have to choose it for yourself!" and immediately they both were punched in the stomach. 'They hurt them; THEY HURT THEM' (Dragon Ball Z episode 191 "Save the World") both Kara and Trunks thought enraged as they saw that neither Alex or Gohan were illusions; they were real they were family and they were hurt! "Please come back to us Kara/Trunks" they pleaded with tears in their eyes "please". "I won't allow them to hurt them anymore" both Kara and Trunks screamed in their thoughts and they said(to their families) "I wish; I want so much for all of this to be true to stay here with you[Kara looks at Kal-El while Trunks looks at Tarble]" "But this isn't real" they said in unison "no no!" Kal-El and Tarble cried "you taught me to be so strong" Kara and Trunks told their parents(in Trunks case it was both his grandmother and grandfather since Vegeta was still alive on Earth) "and I am thank you; Krypton/Vegeta will be in my heart forever but Alex/Gohan is right. My sister/brother is right; I have to go."
Then looking in Alura's eye Kara muttered "I love you" with her replying "oh Kara" but Trunks gave his family the V sign for victory but then they said "we will never let you leave". "ALEX/GOHAN both warriors cried "I got you" (Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl who has everything")the both of them said trying to grab their hands but it was in vain as they both got sucked out of their worlds. In the real world both Alex and Gohan blamed Vegeta(and Hank) for pulling them out(with Winn and Bulma being more optimistic seeing that they managed to convince them to come back) but they didn't know what was going on in their mind-frames.
"We will never let you leave" the voices of Alura and the King rung out to both warriors however in their respective minds when they saw the people they loved; "come back to us Kara/Trunks" came the voices of James, Winn, Bulla and Pan. "Fight this thing" John and Piccolo screamed "fight it with everything you got!" "Show them the power of a true Saiyan" Vegeta said(to Trunks)/"Kryptonian"(Kara) "Kara/Trunks" Bulma chided "you better get back here alive or else I will never have grandbabies". Finally the both of them heard a new voice neither of them knew "Father/Supergirl(A/N guess who) "you know me(to Trunks) I'm your daughter/I'm related to Trunks (Kara) and I know that the power of a bond between a saiyan and his true mate is one that is stronger than anything(both). You taught me that father(to Trunks); that's something I know from someone very dear to my heart and I sense that its true for you too Supergirl. No matter where you go I'll be with you in spirit(both) (Dragon Ball Z episode 122 "Mystery Revealed")(to Kara). So fight this thing and prove that no powers from Non or anyone else for that matter can break that between the two of you; now go! Go be heroes!" and faded out. What they didn't know was that it was their daughter Alice speaking to them thanks to the Supreme Kai of Time. She had seen enough and had jumped back in time to make everything for Alice in real time like Dende and Max's tech did for Alex and Gohan by manipulating her mind, Supreme Kai was able to 'use' Alice as a means of last measures to ensure that both warriors returned to Earth. The only ones who knew that this was done(aside from Grand Kai) were Jeremiah and Gohan and now that their jobs were finished they returned to otherworld with a smile but not before they planned one last surprise to give both Kara and Trunks. However what the surprise was would have to wait until after Non and Astra were stopped.
In the real world the virus that held both Trunks and Kara trapped got off of them and while Vegeta swiftly disposed of the Tuffle Virus with his Final Flash(shocking everyone except Piccolo of how deadly the attack was) he was so focused on getting rid of the Tuffle parasite that the Black Mercy slicked off unnoticed by the others. Everyone was concerned over the welfare of Kara and Trunks and that was why the parasite slicked off. "Hey Hey Kara" Winn whispered while Bulma asked "Trunks are you ok?" They both woke up with a jump with various characters saying "its okay we're here we're here". "You okay?" James and Dende asked them(after Max muttered "that is one messed up daffodil") "Kara/Trunks you okay?" It was dead silence as both warriors got to their feet and staggered around like they were the walking dead; finally they asked "who did this to me?" "Non" Gohan and Alex replied and with a deadly look like no one ever knew(not even Vegeta who shuddered) Kara followed it up with a "where is he"? (Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl who has everything").
"In all my years as both a fighter and a mentor even I must admit I never anything like this; Kara looks like she's going to murder somebody" Piccolo muttered upon hearing their questioning of where was Non. "Really?" Winn asked "yes I've seen the look of battle scarred men and what they're going on in their heads is very akin to what humans call Post Partum Depression" Vegeta scholarly stated which made Bulma shudder and say "I can tell you from personal experience that that isn't pleasant". Hank had to wonder why Bulma shuttered like that(since in all the time he knew her he never sensed any bit of fear from the scientist) but he knew that an explanation was in order and said "the Kryptonians used the Black Mercy, the Tuffle virus and the solar storms do distract us from their next move"; "as I suspected" Vegeta grumbled proving his suspicions correct after all of this time. "Agent Vasquez told me you have a working theory as to what that might be" Hank stated to Winn; he answered by saying "um like I said before I thought it might have something to do with satellites"; "go on" Gohan carefully said to Winn who answered "since I spend most of my days looking at satellite signals, I decided to analyze them with your computers."
"Hey don't take all the credit Winn, I helped too" Pan interrupted in a scolding tone to Winn; "why do I suspect that the reason the boy does so is to track the movements of Pan and Trunks' woman" Vegeta whispered to Bulma. "Oh hush Vegeta" Bulma playfully scolded with a giggle "I think its kind of cute"; "you and your mindless gossip" Vegeta grunted as Winn continued(after being looked critically after making a joke about getting the DEO's computers to Hank) "anyways I found some hidden transmission buried in the C band spectrum". "What's the connection" both Bulma and Hank asked "funny you should ask" Pan grumbled as Winn pulled it up on the computer and explained "they all use Lord Tech servers, which happens to be based at the same lab that Non's troops attacked". "Why am I not surprised to hear that" Vegeta said rolling his eyes as Max tried to defend himself saying "now you know why they hit my facility". "He's using your tech to override the civilian network" Alex and Gohan muttered(as they knew secret meanings when they heard them) then added "Non didn't take anything he left something behind; a virus."
"A virus that does what?" James inquired; "I don't know" Hank responded "but I don't want to wait around to find out"; "finally something that I can agree with" Vegeta exclaimed. "How do I find them?" Kara asked "my company handles six other satellites in the city limits they have to be the next target" Max replied. "Scramble our teams to each location" John ordered; "we have to take out as many satellites and Kryptonians as possible; Vegeta you John and Alex will fight Astra" Piccolo stated in strategic manner, "and as for the Kryptonian.." "Non is mine" Kara growled to the Namekian (Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl who has everything")."I think the both of us should deal with him Kara" Trunks gently said(and knowing that Trunks had a point since Non gave her boyfriend that Tuffle virus) relented and together they all blasted off to the battlefield but they were so involved in their discussion that they didn't notice that Alex had grabbed a weapon and she wasn't afraid to use it on Astra. They all powered up(with the exception of Dende who went back to the lookout since he wasn't a fighter) and followed the helicopters to the battlefield. Trunks decided not to hold back anymore but he wanted to surprise Non so he decided to wait until they got to the battlefield to transform into a Super-Saiyan 2.
Non was just putting in the programming into the satellites when he was pummeled on both ends by Kara and Trunks and the both of them looked incredibly pissed off. "Do you have any idea what you did to me?" Kara raged; "or me?" Trunks added with a roar then together they said "you made me lose them again!" *Punch by Kara* *Kick by Trunks* "My parents" Kara and Trunks roared with him adding "my uncle", "my whole world!"(both) *PUNCH* *ENERGY BLAST* Then they asked "and you think that I'm going to let you take this world away from me to? You think that I'm going to let you hurt them like you hurt me?! NEVER!" (Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl who has everything"). Then taking a moment to gather himself after the both of them beat him up pretty good Trunks growled "this is the end for you Non" (Dragon Ball Z Kai episode 48 "The Angry Super Saiyan! Goku Throws Down the Gauntlet!")and transformed into a Super-Saiyan 2 with a shout but then Non pushed a button causing the workers to come out and caused Kara to cry "stay back!" (Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl who has everything").
Meanwhile Alex interrupted Astra putting in the final pieces of the Satellite dish when she fired off gun shots. Astra retaliated by firing off her eye beams and made Alex hit the floor. "I don't want to fight you Astra" Alex groaned quickly re-gathering herself from the fall; "I helped save my niece and the boy out of a sense of duty" the Kryptonian snarled "which does not extend to you". "That's not why you helped her you love her; that's how I know your heart isn't in this war anymore". Astra retaliated by grabbing Alex and hanging her over the rails began to choke her again growling "you know nothing of me". "I know that you had plenty of chances to kill me" Alex gasped "and to kill Kara and Trunks but you haven't because you don't want too." Astra began to tremble in fear at the truthfulness behind Alex's words; she had plenty of opportunities to kill the both of them unaware and be done with it yet she hadn't. 'Why am I so afraid? Is it because of Non or my pride?' the Kryptonian asked herself as Alex pleaded(with a pant) "give it up Astra; help us".
Astra was strongly considering Alex's words when she was tackled by a figure and blasted by another; "Kara" she called. Turning around she saw John in his true form, and Vegeta as a Super-Saiyan;"I thought all of your kind were dead" she said to John then addressing Vegeta she added "and I thought you were dead". "Afraid not woman" Vegeta grunted "Death means nothing to us if you have seen the things we have". John was baffled(because he didn't know of the Dragon Balls) and asked himself 'how is that possible? Once you die there is no second chances". However, he decided to address Astra by stating "I am the last" then the both of them declaring "Earth is my home now and I will not allow you to take it from me" (Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl who has everything")
Vegeta decided to add to their shared declaration by yelling to Astra "are you ready now...to witness a power not seen for thousands of years?" and with a roar he transformed himself into a Super-Saiyan 2 (Dragon Ball Z episode 155 "Super Vegeta")with that all too familiar piano music playing in the background as Vegeta powered up. "Does that happen every time something unexpected happens?" Alex sweat-dropped breaking the 4th wall remembering the last time she heard similar music(it was during Gohan's Super-Saiyan 3 power-up) as the three began a brutal fight. Even though John was somewhat overpowered, Vegeta held his own and even managed to overpower her at times during their brutal battle(since he was more experienced in hand to hand combat than John was).
Meanwhile Kara and Trunks kept beating Non into the ground "you stupid girl" he sneered to Kara "have you any idea what you're doing?" "Yes I'm stopping you" (Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl who has everything") Kara said "and beating your ass into the ground" Trunks spat; "you may be strong but your still just a stupid animal!"(Dragon Ball Z episode 103 "Pathos of Frieza") then turning to Kara he spat "your mother believed she could but she failed!" "I won't" Kara gritted "and neither will I" Trunks spat and attacked Non again "because I've known pain" the both of them said then looking at each other then back at Non added "but I've also known love and the people here are my family". They then diverged from their speeches; Kara stated "I may have born on Krypton but I choose Earth and I will protect it until our last breath" (Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl who has everything")with Trunks stating "my family may have been born on Vegeta but I also choose Earth and I too will protect it with everything I got; besides I rather be a brainless beast then a heartless monster...like you(Dragon Ball Z episode 103 "Pathos of Frieza").
They both landed a heavy blow to Non and getting up he spat to Kara "you have the hubris of the great house of El; which blinds you to the truth"; then turning to Trunks he added "and you have the pride of the House of Vegeta; your arrogance and pride will lead you to your downfall". Non then declared "humanity is a disease, Myriad is the cure"! 'Myriad? The Hell's that?' Trunks thought and thanks to his distraction Non attacked Kara with his X-Ray vision. "Bastard" Trunks growled upon seeing Kara hit by the attack then amping up his aura he screamed "GRRRRRR NOW DIEE!" to Non.(Dragon Ball Z episode 101 "The Last Wish").Meanwhile Vegeta had taken the battle to Astra but she still tried to install the device when John took her and together with Vegeta lifted her away from the Satellite suddenly Astra attacked John with a device causing him to cry out in pain "fear not Martian" she whispered "you'll die a soldier's death"; "you'll pay for that one" Vegeta growled to Astra and was about to release another Big Bang attack when suddenly Astra was impaled with a Kryponite sword "what the hell" Vegeta swore as Astra hit the ground after Alex removed the sword from her body. John reverted back and saw that Alex was trembling from what she had just done.
Non decided to laud Kara and Trunks for their efforts saying "you are getting better Kara Zor El and Trunks Mirai Briefs" then addressing Trunks declaration of "now die" added "but I will not be dying today catch my drift?" (Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl who has everything") and (Dragon Ball Z episode 101 "The Last Wish) then attacked the satellite causing it to begin to fall down. Trunks growled but knew it was pointless to chase him as lives were in danger and so he helped Kara lift the satellite away from harm and began to reattach it when Alex called and said "Kara Trunks get over here now; its Astra". They reattached the satellites and flew back to Alex's location when they saw Astra's body lying on the ground on the brink of death; "what happened?" Kara asked as Trunks noted "she looks pretty banged up". "There was a fight" Alex explained to Kara and Trunks and was trembling to say the words when John interrupted "I killed her". "Hey what about me Martian I distracted her in order for you to have the chance to kill her" Vegeta exclaimed adding to John's lie; while Alex was taken a bit off guard by John taking the blame for Astra's death she was stunned that Vegeta of all people would also defend her. That was something she would have to ask the both of them later as John stated to Kara and Trunks "I'm sorry but I could see no other way"."Kara she doesn't have long" Alex said to her sister telling her that this was it and to make her peace "what about Dende? I could get him and he could heal her in a flash!" Trunks interrupted "out of the question boy" Vegeta grunted "even if we got the Namek she's been so badly damaged I doubt that even he and the senzu beans combined couldn't heal her". Vegeta also decided to communicate mentally saying "and forget about the Dragon Balls boy"; Trunks was about to protest but he could see the validity of his father's point and decided to stay put.
"Hello little one" Astra gasped in pain "I'm so happy to see your sister was able to bring you back"; "Astra I have to tell you when I was under the black mercy you were there" Kara confessed to her aunt. "As your enemy" Astra inquired "as my family" Kara sobbed in reply then suddenly Astra began to cry herself(which reminded Trunks of his father's death at Frieza's hand). "Kara listen to me" she implored "Non cannot be stopped; if you and Trunks stand in his way he will kill you and those you love". "He said something about Myriad" Kara stated remembering Non's statement "tell me tell me what it is before its too late" she implored in a pleading voice. "It already is" Astra sadly replied "little one" (Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl who has everything")and with that drew her last breath. Kara began to cry and all Trunks could do was to comfort his girlfriend as she sobbed uncontrollably in his arms "now you know how I felt when Gohan died" he whispered to her holding her close to him and letting her cry her tears. Suddenly more Kryptonians began to appear and Alex said "Kara we have to go now"; "go go" (Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl who has everything")Hank ordered and taking it as his sign to leave Vegeta also flew off saying "lets go". Trunks however decided to stay and give Astra at least a proper eulogy(since Goku gave one to Vegeta before he faced Frieza).
"Goodbye Astra you're not as cold hearted as you believed yourself to be, a heart of stone can't shed tears like you did. I could only imagine how hard that must've been; you must've been holding them back your whole life" Trunks said over Astra's dead body. "Kara is the only one left" he muttered clenching his fist(referring to her being the last female Kryptonian alive) then he used an eye blast to pick Astra's plot and carefully picked her up. "I think I understand you now" Trunks continued speaking to her "you weren't mad over the loss of your race or being imprisoned by Alura at least not entirely. You were mad because Non turned you into what he wanted you to be you to be; you never got a chance to be anything else". Then carefully putting her into the ground Trunks stated "I may have hated you while you were alive but I always respected your pride; you had the fiery will of a Kryptonian please share that with Kara now because she needs it." Then carefully packing in the dirt Trunks said "thank you for sparing Alex and my sister's life(he found that out thanks to Piccolo) and for buying enough time for us to recuperate. I promise we will stop Non!"(Dragon Ball Z episode 86 "The End of Vegeta" and Dragon Ball Z Kai episode Episode 42 ("Defeat Frieza, Goku! The Tears of the Proud Saiyan Prince"). With that IT'ed out of there before the Kryptonians could notice him hovering over Astra's burial plot.
Non later uncovered Astra's body and brought it back to their point of operations and he also cried over Astra's dead body. "I promise you she died a hero" the second in command to Non told him "and Myriad is operational our general didn't die in vain" he reassured Non and he stormed off in anger vowing revenge on Kara and Trunks for the death of his wife(even though it was Alex's fault). "Courtesy of Supergirl and the Gold Fighter" Hank told Vasquez handing her what they had found on the battlefield. "Get this to the lab" he ordered her "I want to know everything there is to know about it". "You know Martian we could use one of those things too" Vegeta grumbled "we could have this analyzed in a cinch". Hank agreed and gave the Saiyan a spare copy; he was about to go when Alex walked in. "Beta and Delta squadron never reported in" she sighed giving Hank the report; "I guess after what happened to Astra they never will". "That's not a surprise humans should learn to stay out of the way when its clear they're outmatched" Vegeta grumped "this isn't your fault Alex" John said trying to reassure Alex on the actions she took "Astra was a righteous kill". "That doesn't make this any easier" she whispered to Hank "you made the hard choice that's what soldiers do" John retorted.
"You remind me of Gohan woman" Vegeta chuckled "he didn't become like a soldier until after the clown's death; even in the timeline my son visited Gohan didn't like to kill. In fact he didn't even want to kill Cell until he crushed android 16's head and Gohan turned into a cold hearted soldier like he did in this time". Alex was baffled by Vegeta's words but her thoughts were interrupted by John's inquiry of "how's your sister holding up?" "Astra may have been Kara's enemy on the battlefield but she was also family" Alex sighed "she's taking it hard". "Yea I knew she would" John muttered with Vegeta adding "not a surprise there; she never stopped believing that Astra could be saved". "That's the difference between soldiers and heroes" John footnoted to Vegeta's statement which caused Alex to ask "sir why did you and Vegeta lie to Kara and Trunks?" John pondered his answer before replying "because your Supergirl's hero and I don't want her to see you as anything other than that". (Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl who has everything").Vegeta answered differently saying "my son admires your strength and bravery on the battlefield and my daughter worships the ground you walk on. You're her hero and I refuse to let her(or my son for that matter) see you as anything other than that...Alex" and the both of them walked away and for at least that one moment Alex had to smile because she had gained Vegeta's respect.
Bulma knew that the only way to cheer both Kara and Trunks up was to hold a surprise party to which James and Winn happily agreed to as they were planning one for Kara themselves along with Pan and Gohan for Trunks. In a rare moment, Piccolo Dende and even Vegeta himself helped them out. "Oh you guys you didn't have to do this" Kara said overwhelmed with the love she and Trunks were receiving "like seriously we didn't? I thought this was manditory" Winn jokingly said to which Pan said "don't listen to him Kara of course we did; your family. If you didn't know that before you sure as hell will now". They all laughed(even Vegeta) "hey um we need to talk about that "perfect fantasy world" me and Trunks were in"; "you don't have too if you don't want to you know" Bulma gently said to Kara in a mother like tone to which James said "Kara you don't have to tell us". "I want to tell you guys why I imagined myself on Krypton" Kara insisted to which Trunks added "and I want to tell you why I imagined myself on Vegeta". "Its not because we hate it here" Kara said when Alex and Piccolo gave her and Trunks a critical look "its because the past few weeks we've been feeling lost and like I did when I first came to Earth(Kara)/after Gohan's death(Trunks) so we started fantasizing about the same things we used to back then" they explained. "We chose to come back because we belong here with you; my family" they stated not wanting to tell of their otherworldly visitations with the spirits of Gohan and Jeremiah.
Dende(who was there with Piccolo) knew that there was more to the story than either one of them wanted to admit too but he decided to put off what it was for another day since it was supposed to be a time of joy instead of fear. "I guess its true" Kara smiled "there's no place like home" "I agree 100% with that statement" Trunks said also smiling which caused Bulma to "aww" in response. "That's right you just quoted a movie" Winn said "yea the Wizard of Oz; Dorothy says that towards the end when she figures out how to get home" Pan added(having watched that movie at least 5 times). "Danvers this is like a whole new level in our friendship here" to which everyone laughed then he added "cause we are friends right?" Kara remembered the look on Winn's face when he declared that he had no friends in the world where she was never adopted by Eliza and softly responded "yea yeah; the best". That statement caused hope in Pan's heart because now Winn's attitude was shifting from love to just friends with Kara and now she could seriously consider a relationship with Winn now that he had made peace with the Kryptonian.
James joked that they didn't know if it was a pot stickers or an ice cream night and got both. Seeing that Kara said "they're my favorite"; "I know what you like" James replied seeing Kara jump up and down excitedly. "Just remember that it was my credit card you used to buy this ice cream for a Kryptonian and 1 hungry saiyan and 4 equally hungry hybrids" Bulma scolded "and guess what Trunks? I got your favorite; pudding!" "Pudding" Trunks glossed his eyes darting immediately to that perfect confection that Beerus wanted from Majin Buu but didn't get; Alex tried to tell her the truth of the battle with Astra but she couldn't find the heart to tell her instead saying that Hank tried to cover for Kara at work while she was unconscious. "That was comedy gold" (when Kara said "I guess that didn't go well" and Alex replied "that would be a solid guess" Vegeta laughed "and guess what Pan got it all on tape" Bulla teased."Lets save all the Catco talk for tomorrow" James spluttered to which Bulma said "I can agree with that now lets dig in". "Plus I got this" James teased getting a liquor bottle "that's no fun you know I can't get drunk" (Supergirl episode 13 "For the Girl who has everything")Kara whined "well Saiyans can so you better not touch it Trunks" Gohan cautioned remembering the last time he got drunk(which led to Pan's conception in the first place).
"Don't worry Gohan I don't even want to touch it" Trunks replied but before they could dig in the doorbell rang; "who can that be?" Alex asked. "Package for Trunks Briefs and Kara Danvers" a delivery boy cried when she opened the door. "I don't remember ordering anything" Kara said in confusion; "neither did I" Trunks said. "Stop stalling and open it already" Vegeta barked when they received their packages; "excuse me but I think this is meant for our eyes only" Trunks said to which everyone else shrugged their shoulders and dug in. Inside was a note and to their shock it was from Grandpa Gohan and Jeremiah who wrote "remember no man/woman is a failure who has friends; love Gohan/Jeremiah" (It's a Wonderful Life). They looked through the package and saw a picture of the people they cared for the most; the two of them were arm in arm obviously very happy and in love with Alex on Kara's right smiling as well. Besides her was James and Winn(he was looking at Kara and Pan with affection) with Eliza grabbing the shoulders of both Kara and Alex in the back. To Trunks' left it was Gohan smiling with Pan her hand attaching itself to Kara's left shoulder. Bulma was in back of Trunks also holding her son's shoulder and seemingly winking at Kara; even Vegeta, John, and Piccolo were there in the picture looking on to both of them with a mixture of affection-John-and pride-Piccolo and Vegeta (although he had his back turned). What really made it special was that both of their planets were in the distance and above them were the figures of Goku, Videl, Chi-Chi, and Kara's as well as Trunks' alien parental family with halos on their heads. Even Astra was there with them with a Halo above her head and even though Trunks knew that his family and Astra didn't keep their bodies in Otherworld(since they committed too much evil during their lives to be admitted into heaven).
For Kara though it didn't matter; it represented hers as well as Trunks' family "looking down" both her and Trunks; "that is so beautiful who send it to you?" Bulla asked gushing over how beautiful the mosaic was. "Someone near and dear to both mine and Kara's heart" Trunks replied(not telling them who it was) with a smile and everyone just smiled and ate; however Kara noticed something else in the far off distance(in the picture) and pulling Trunks aside once again she whispered "look at this". Trunks had to squint his eyes but he saw it; it was the image of a young female girl. She was in the far off distance but one could tell that she was coming in their direction. "What could this mean?" Kara asked remembering the girl's speech to her before she broke free from the Black Mercy's grasp. "I don't know Kara" Trunks replied remembering what the girl had told him(particularly when she called him "father) "but I do know that whatever comes our way we'll deal with together; whether it be this project Myriad or anything else for that matter". That explanation was good enough for the both of them and they decided to leave it there but what they didn't know was this girl in the distance was their daughter Alice. She was coming towards them(so to speak) and one day she will squeeze underneath both Alex and Bulma to fit in-between her parents. Obviously since she knew her father she would grab his hand and squeeze it tight while not holding on to Kara's. One day though her hand would grab Kara's hand and the final mosaic would have Alice on top of both her parent's shoulders with them protectively holding her over their shoulders and having her mother's famous smile would put up her father's famous V sign for victory. This signified that Alice had accepted both of all of her heritages: human, Saiyan and Kryptonian and they(particularly Kara) had accepted her as their child and after all the years of battles, hardships, and pain, peace and happiness would forever reign and that love and justice had finally triumphed. End Chapter
Outtro: I'm the Prince of All Saiyans VEGETA! What you thought the story was over? Hardly because next time on Dragon Girl Z there is an alien hunting for the heads of Kryptonian prisoners from Fort Rozz(why am I not surprised); calls himself Master Jailer..hmph Master Jailer my ass! Anyway he claims to put people in situations(puzzles) they can't get out of and lets just say his methods and the Kryptonians methods don't see eye to eye. But who's this Majin Buu character the Jailer is rambling about? and the Supreme Kai? Could this Majin Buu be related to why the Jailer is interested in my son? Next time On Dragon Girl Z: Master Jailers' Rules! Who is Majin Buu? don't miss a minute of it!
Me: Finally I finished with this chapter guys and I do apologize that it took sooo long to complete! Anyways I hoped you liked this chapter and all the craziness that happened! I also hope that you loved the "Its a Wonderful Life" feel I gave this week's episode as originally this was the finale of Supergirl before it was extended for an entire season! In my opinion this was the best episode of Supergirl and it isn't even a question but the only qualm I have is that they should've shown what life was like on Earth if Kara wasn't around so I made amends by showing what life would be like on Earth if both Kara and Trunks weren't around! Other than that, I loved this week's episode and I think what happened with Alex impaling Astra with that sword is very much like Trunks slicing Frieza in half(both moments were equally badass lol).
As for Vegeta I hoped that you liked that he was heavily involved in this week's episode as he hadn't been a part of any heavy action in my story(even though he already told his family about Kara's backstory) so I made up for it by having Vegeta and John fight Astra in this chapter! Dende also will get more involved next week(as the guardians telling Dende about Champa/Vados aren't the only secrets I have in store)! Needless to say Kara will be pissed when she "discovers" something horrible in the Fortress of Solitude and the only thing I will say now is that what she will find relates to one of Champa's warriors as well another one of Superman's most powerful villains(and no its not Metallo for those who will ask).
For the action scenes you can hear Bruce Falconer's Vegeta Super-Saiyan theme as he powered up to Super-Saiyan 2 against Astra; similarly you can hear Falconer's Hyperbolic Time Chamber theme as Trunks buries Astra(this was the theme that was heard when Goku buried Vegeta in Z). While I like the new Dragon Ball Super music tracks-I don't like Kai's soundtrack( its somewhat repetitive as well as being taken down thanks to it being copyrighted), my first experiences with the Dragon Ball Franchise involves Falconer's tracks and that will always have a special place in my heart! Take a listen to Goku's eulogy when Vegeta dies(both Z and Kai);I wish they could've done something like in the show to show how far Astra truly has come and compare that to Vegeta's character development post first resurrection and (if Astra comes back) see if Supergirl doesn't do something similar to Vegeta's development trajectory! Finally the mosaic is my own mental creation but if anyone wants to draw the characters in the mosaic(in the way I have described it) and post it on DeviantArt feel free to do so as it will draw attention to my story as well as the show of itself and that's always appreciated. With the exceptions of references I will see you guys next episode!
