Chapter 35: Fallout of Battle

A/N: Hey all! So I really loved making this chapter so I hope you all enjoy!


Goku and Vegeta huffed tiredly once they released their beams. They stood still in place, too tired to move from their firing positions

"I think...we got him." Goku commented

There was a strange silence in the air, almost unsettling to the two warriors. Neither of them could hear or sense Beerus, so it was a mystery as to what happened to the god

But from the sky came a small purple dot that got closer, surprising everyone, even the people in the ship nearby

"He's still alive?! Goku and Vegeta gave it everything!" Future Trunks exclaimed outloud

"Lord Beerus is powerful after all." Whis reminded the hybrid

Outside of the ship, Goku and Vegeta were stunned by the appearance of Beerus. Once he was close enough, they could see the clear burn marks all over his body, and his singed clothing

"H-how?!" Vegeta questioned outloud

"That was the best fight I've ever had, it's a shame it must come to a close." Beerus said

The god held up one finger in front of him, and created a fairly large ball of ki in front of it that was pointed towards Goku and Vegeta

The two braced for impact, however after a while nothing happened

When the two opened their eyes, they saw Beerus tiredly scratch his ear, and release the strain on the ball of ki

"You know, I change my mind. Maybe some day you two will provide another battle for me. Whis!" Beerus called out

The assistant almost immediately teleported to the destroyer God's side from the ship

"Yes my lord?" He said

"We're leaving." Beerus stated

"As you wish my lord." Whis said as his staff began to glow and pulsate

In mere seconds the two were enveloped in light, and that light zoomed away from the earth, far far away from it

There was an awkward moment of silence between the two Saiyans before Vegeta piped up

"I guess that means it's over now." Vegeta commented, a little aghast by the fight. After all, he just stood up to the god of Destruction and survived

"Yeah..." Goku said, a fight never ended so quietly and suddenly before, it was fairly awkward

Goku and Vegeta gave each other a smirk before Goku teleported the two somewhere else

"That was intense." Videl voiced everyone's mind

"Yeah, we should probably go back to Capsule Corp." Gohan suggested

"Good idea, I could use another break." Bulma sighed

Bulma pressed a few buttons and immediately the ship began to move back towards Capsule Corporation


Both the god and the angel traveled quickly through space, Beerus being a little fatigued by the battle

"I'm surprised you didn't use your full power my lord, it would have saved you all of those scratches." Whis commented

"Because I wanted a fight, not a beat down." Beerus said simply

"You do love fighting." Whis admitted

"When we get back I'm going to take a shower and a nap, then I'll see what's changed in the universe." Beerus listed out

"I just hope you won't forget when you wake up." Whis said simply as the two traveled through space


When the gang returned, they saw Vegeta and Goku standing out in the open, haven changed back into their party cloths

The yard, miraculously, was intact, other than the large gash that stations the ship, as well as the crater that 14 was still in

Other than that, the buffet table, the bingo stage and the mini bar were all intact, other than some party decor misplaced

Bulma landed the ship and removed the dome as well as the console, and with that everyone attempted to get back to the party

Unsuccessfully that is. With all that had happened, three rowdy guests and a fight for the fate of the planet, everyone was, understandably, shook

"Huh, so now what?" 18 said outloud

"I dunno, at this point everyone slowly leaves." Bulma commented

"I guess the party is over now." Gohan stated

"Wait! We haven't cut the cake yet!" Chi-Chi realized, as well as everyone around

"That's right. We were so busy making sure Beerus didn't want to fight that we forgot all about it." Videl said as well

"I guess I'll get the cake." Vegeta said reluctantly, while Goku walked up to Android 14 and pulled him out of his own crater

The Android then stood upright and bowed slightly before picking up his friends

While that went on, Cell wordlessly walked back inside the building, not wanting to socialize. 21 was slightly disappointed, but understood why


A few minutes later, everyone stood in front of a table, and on that table was a large cake in the shape the Capsule Corp logo. On the cake was a candle in the shape of the number 41

Everyone gathered around the table and sang Happy Birthday. Even Bulma's parents, who had just came back from vacation, sang along

When the song was over, everyone gave their birthday gifts. Tien and Launch gave Bulma the perfect weapon for home defense, a 12 gauge shotgun and also a nicely knitted scarf that Launch knitted at some point, though she couldn't exactly remember when

Goku and Chi-Chi gave Bulma a few really stylish dresses that Chi-Chi found. Gohan and Videl gave her a gold necklace that really suited her

18 and Krillin gave her a bottle of perfume while 17 gave her a pair of shoes on behalf of his wife. Yamcha and Puar gave her a fairly pricy lipstick

Turles and Zangya also gave her a strange alien ornament in the shape of a blob

Cell came by in secret and gave Android 21 a perfect, working copy of Giru to give to Bulma on her behalf. The robot was green, and didn't really speak, since it was meant to be dismantled and analyzed thoroughly

And finally, Vegeta and both Trunksi gave her something that they had made themselves, a snow globe with small figurines of themselves inside

When all was said and done, Bulma wiped a small tear away, mainly because of the sincerity of the gifts (Plus Vegeta actually gave a gift this year)

"Thanks everyone. Today was so eventful I still can't believe it." Bulma thanked everyone

"Yeah. Launch and I should start heading out now, it's getting late." Tien said

"Yeah, maybe Tien and I could rob a few banks on the way." Blonde Launch said, receiving a few worried looks from everyone

"Kidding I'm kidding. Geez can't a gal make a joke." She said again as she and Tien walked inside the building

"18 and I need to leave too, have work in the morning." Krillin stated as he carried Maron and flew away along with 17 and 18

"It's about time for my elderly nap. Don't want to miss it hehe." Roshi said as he and Oolong walked away too

One by one groups of people left the party, until all that was left was the Majin family and the Briefs. 21 was also there, along with Turles and his guests

"I really need to see Cell about where we're going, bye everyone." 21 said as she used Instant Transmission to teleport herself and Giru away

"Looks like we should take our leave. Come on then." Turles motioned towards everyone he brought with him, minus Zangya

"No, we're not leaving with you again." Paragus declared

"Fine by me, your someone else's problem now." Turles said as he walked back inside the building with Cheelai, Lemo and Zangya

"Tch, leaving his messes for me." Vegeta commented as he saw the group walk inside

Once they left Broly walked off towards the table with some left over food and began to eat his food without a plate

"Now that I think of it, the guest rooms are filling up now, there are only two left." Bulma mentioned

"We can empty them by kicking some of the guests out. Starting with Mirai." Vegeta said

"Wait why?" Teen Trunks asked

"Because he's a grown Saiyan now, and it's pathetic that he still isn't able to support himself. In fact, very soon you're going to move too." Vegeta said

"Great..." Teen Trunks responded, knowing there's no arguing with his dad

"Vegeta you can't just start kicking out our kids just because." Bulma told Vegeta

"But he's right, I really should find a good job." Future Trunks agreed, he himself realized how comfortable he's gotten with being at home

"*sigh* I guess that solves one problem. I could also buy a house for him too." Bulma said as well

"But what about them?" Teen Trunks mentioned as he looked at Paragus and Broly

"I forbid that old bastard from sleeping here." Vegeta said, who doesn't like Paragus' stubborn attitude at all

"We can't just leave him to sleep in the street ya know." Bulma reminded him

"Well we could buy him a small house to live in." Adult Trunks imputed

"Hm...I guess you're right. I'm not letting that guy sleep here either." Bulma said as well, also disliking his hostility

"Welp, guess I'll head to bed." Teen Trunks said simply as he walked inside with his arms folded behind his back

"I'll be heading off too, night." Future Trunks said as he followed his younger self inside

"I'll see what I can get last second. Perks of being the richest woman in the world of course." Bulma said as well, while walking back inside the building

Vegeta stayed put and kept watch over Paragus and Broly. While the old man was rude, there was just something about him that unsettled both him and Bulma. To them, they knew that they just couldn't turn their back on him, not for a second, but they couldn't tell why


Inside of Capsule Corp, 21 used her Instant Transmission to teleport in front of Cell. He was inside a white room that was all too familiar

"Hello 21, Giru. Did you two have fun?" Cell asked them

"Yeah, I'm glad that I got to talk to everyone for the first time." 21 said with enthusiasm

"Giru loved it! Giru learned a lot about humans!" Giru exclaimed

"Good to know." Cell said simply

"So where to now?" 21 asked curiously

"I've given it some proper thought, and I've decided that we should stay on earth. After all it's better that we settled for a while." Cell said, to 21's excitement. She would love to get to know everyone better

"That's good. That gives me time to talk to everyone." 21 thought outloud

"And Giru gets to do more research." Giru exclaimed once again

"Then I suggest we leave now. After all you still have your own home of sorts." Cell said, remembering the hideout where they first met

"Right." 21 nodded

Cell brought two fingers to his forehead and teleported out of the room

21 took a second to look around the empty white room. 21 remembered it from the time she had to go inside Cell's mind

"It's empty. I wonder why he kept it like that." 21 wondered out loud

"Is something wrong?" Giru asked

"No...nothing." 21 said before she used Instant Transmission to teleport away


In another of the building's hallways, the four members of the Majin family walked

"Why is it that every time I see that Cell there's always something big happing." Lamp questioned outloud

"I have no idea." Chocolata said

"I'm really starting to worry about all this trouble that seems to follow us, are you sure you'll be alright?" Caramela said

"It's alright, we can manage. After all I'm strong enough on my own, and with the help of my friends I'll only get stronger." Prestina said with confidence

"Wow, you really have changed a lot. You used to be so shy." Chocolata mentioned

"Yeah. I guess it's because the people around me all have a passion for fighting. It's pretty hard not to like something when everyone else loves it so much." Prestina confessed

"I'm just glad to see you've grown." Caramela said as she hugged her daughter

There was a moment of silence as the hugged. Once they stopped, Lamp and Caramela looked at each other

"We also have to tell you two something." Lamp told the two sister

"What is it?" Chocolata asked, though she knew what it was

"Your dad and I are going back home, back to our planet." Caramela broke it to them

Both Prestina and Chocolata looked at each other before looking back at their parents

"And...we want you to come with us Prestina." Caramela continued, which sort of surprised Prestina

"Well, what do you say?" Lamp asked

Prestina was left silent for a while. She still remembers when she woke up, how desperately she wanted to be back with her own family. And now that option was here, now she could leave this strange planet and go back home

Except, she didn't want to leave. She's gotten used to this place, everything she sees is something that she never could have seen back at home. Her home was so small compared to this one that she wasn't sure if she would like it anymore

But most importantly, she's made friends. She's formed strong bonds with the Z team, especially Adult Trunks and the kids. They were the ones that comforted her, and gave her a place in the team, and she didn't want to just abandon all of it

Prestina looked up to see her parents in the eyes

"Mom, dad...I'm not coming home." She said, which surprised her parents and her sister

"Why not?" Caramela questioned

"Because mom, I don't want to leave. Everything here is new, and I want to see more of it...and I've made good friends too, I don't want to lose them." Prestina explained, to her parents' further surprise

"Are you sure?" Lamp asked

"Positive." She responded firmly

Everyone else was shocked by how certain she was in staying, last time they saw her she would barely leave their side and now she wanted to stay light years away from them. She really has changed

"And you Chocolata, are you staying too?" Caramela asked her other daughter

"Yeah. I'm staying Pres, someone has to keep a close eye on her." Chocolata said while patting her sister's back

Both parents looked utterly shocked by the responses, but after a little bit they smiled happily

The two parents began to tear up. They walked forward and hugged both of their daughters tightly

"You two have grown up so much..." Caramela said as she sniffled

"Your becoming adults, and I'm proud of you two for it." Lamp said as well

The family then stopped hugging, allowing everyone to wipe away their tears that had formed

"We're um, going to leave in a few days, that way Bulma doesn't get to throw another party." Caramela joked

"And um, please make sure no one finds out, we want to keep things quiet. We're afraid Bulma might stop us to make another party if she finds out." Lamp added

"Ok, we'll make sure they don't notice." Prestina responded

After that, the Majin family temporarily split up, but they all silently knew that they would get together again to say their goodbyes


Nearly an hour had passed since everyone left, and Vegeta sat in a chair, still watching Paragus

The old man was starting to fall asleep in a chair, but he didn't want to drop his guard in front of the prince

His son, on the other hand, was exploring the area, looking at tables, messing with chairs and moving decorations

Eventually Bulma came outside, this time she was out of her party dress and in a casual red t-shirt with blue sweat pants

"Alright, I bought a house just outside of the city, really pricy too so you better feel grateful." Bulma told Paragus

"Thank you, we are forever in your debt." Paragus said as he bowed, making Bulma a little uncomfortable

"Hmph." Vegeta huffed, knowing what Paragus was really doing, sucking up

"I'll drive to your new house, but you and your son are flying." Bulma told Paragus once more

"Understood." He said while nodding

Bulma left the area once more while Paragus flew over the house, followed by Broly and Vegeta

Once Bulma eventually got into her car, she drove for thirty minutes through the city before she finally reached the designated house

It was a few miles outside of the city, and it was sitting just over a cliff. It was large, yellow and wooden. (something that has become more and more rare nowadays) There was a very large porch in the back that was supported entirely by wooden beams, the door that lead to it was made of glass and there was a neat little table on it as well

The front was fairly old, there was a yellow door with simple windows. The inside was also very simple, there was a median sized kitchen with the glass door that led outside, and in front of that was the living room. In between that was a hallway that had three doors, one bathroom and two bedrooms

In terms of price, the house was definitely not worth what it was sold for, and the owner would have hassled for more had Bulma threatened to not buy from him

Paragus and Broly were surprised by the style and size of the house, Broly had never seen a proper house before, and Paragus has never seen this type of house in his life

"Your rooms are down that hall over there, and I'll figure out how to get you food later." Bulma said simply as Broly immediately began to explore the house

"This is, amazing. You have my deepest gratitude." Paragus said as he bowed once more

"Sure whatever. Sweet dreams you two." Bulma said as she walked out the door

Vegeta followed as well, however just as he got to the door, he stopped and stared at Paragus

"I know that your planning something, so don't even think about it. If you do something behind my back, I know where to find you." Vegeta threatened the ancient Saiyan before walking out the door

As Vegeta closed the door, he saw Bulma waiting for him inside the car. He went over and sat in the passenger seat

"You think he might plan something?" Bulma asked in a skeptical tone

"I doubt it. But if he does then I'll deal with it personally." Vegeta ensured

"Good. I don't want that old man to pull something behind our backs and try to kill us." Bulma said as she began to drive the car away

Back inside the house, Paragus looked around in awe for a little while before he walked into one of the rooms

As per the theme of the house, the walls were colored a tinted yellow, and the queen sized bed had light yellow covers and pillows as well

There was a wooden cabinet next to the bed, two sliding wooden doors that led to the closet, and a strange device mounted across the bed on the wall (a TV)

The old man walked over and tiredly laid on the bed. When he did he felt his bones ache. The bed was so incredibly comfortable, unlike that seat that he slept on for decades

But no matter how comfortable he felt, he couldn't erase the feeling of despair that settled with him. All that he once knew was gone, and the one thing he clung to was gone as well, revenge

Now Paragus didn't know what to do next, whether to try and have his vengeance anyway, make peace with his situation or find a way to leave altogether

But the more he thought the more desperate he got. With every path he thought of he could only imagine the work, time and effort he has to put in

There was this feeling that Paragus felt, something new. After all his thinking he just felt so...so...tired

"I've thrown my whole life down the drain... and now I'm too old to do anything, Kami Damnit all..." Paragus thought as his consciousness began to fade, and he soon drifted asleep with the lights to his room on

Out in the living room, Broly smiled as he sat in the incredibly comfortable couch and stared at this strange device with buttons on it, it looked a lot like the one his father had

Throughout this whole day, Broly felt a warmth in his earth as he looked around and explored his surroundings. It was all very unlike his home. This place was very fancy, and it all moved on its own in very different ways

And much more the people here were nice, especially Cheelai and Lemo. Here there was someone to talk to, and something to see. The food here was good, and sweet, not salty

Broly was glad that he could be here, with all these nice people and all this good food

The Saiyan smiled as he laid down on the couch, though the lights were still on. Slowly but surely his thoughts settled and he fell asleep


Cell appeared inside of the Red Ribbon hideout, soon followed by 21 and Giru

"Wow, I forgot how much the furniture has changed." 21 said out loud, expecting to see the exact same home she remembered

"I'm surprised no one from the army has invaded this place for research." Cell commented

"That's because no one knows where I live, or at least that I know of." 21 responded

Giru flew around and inspected every corner of the living room while 21 simply walked into her room to see that it was also different

"A lot of time really did pass since then...and a lot of things have changed to." 21 said out loud

Her room was much more different, the walls were painted red now, the bed sheets had the design of many colorful and bright pastries, and to top it all off there was a pillow in the shape of an hor d'oeuvre

"Wow, other me really had a craving for food." She commented

Seeing the room really surprised her more than she thought, it was only now that she fully realized that there is a large portion of time in which she doesn't remember. The only thing there was an old teddy bear of hers that Gero gave her, except it was a little more beat up than she knows it to be

Looking at her room reminded her that she had changed as well, not just mentally but physically too

21 looked at her pink arm for a little bit before she took a deep breathe

She was then immediately covered in a bright pink light that quickly dispersed, leaving her in her human form, and her black outfit was also intact

21 learned how to transform from her forms through meditating with Cell. One day the two were wondering whether she could do so before she suddenly switched forms

It was weird, having two forms. Although she had the same shape and figure, she felt different. When she was in her Majin form she felt, strange, like she wasn't in her own body at all

Although she was more used to her human form, she liked her Majin form, mainly cause the tail is so fun to have and mess with

Speaking of her tail, 21 felt her back with her hand. When she did she could feel the large hole on her dress at the lower back that was supposed to be for the tail. When she did she got a little flustered, before realizing she was completely alone

"Thank goodness Cell isn't here to see that again." 21 thought as she remembered when she made the mistake of turning her back after having transformed for the first time

After a small moment 21 decided to prepare herself for a shower. She undressed and promptly showered in very hot water

It's felt like years since she's had a normal shower, especially a hot one. It's not that she hasn't showered in nearly a year, but she's had to shower mostly in lakes with waterfalls. There was just something different about showering in the bathroom. Another detail about traveling in space is that she constantly smelled quite akin to dust, though that could just be because of the lack of air in space

Once she finished showering, she dried and dressed herself in a simple, large nightshirt and robes

Once she changed she brushed her hair for a while before stopping once it was dry. While brushing she realized that her white hair also had a separate texture to it than her normal hair

After that she brushed her teeth, prepared her bed and laid down, ready for sleep to take her in

That was until she remembered something

She had completely forgotten all about her diary, and once she remembered its existence she realized that maybe her other self had inserted things to it as well

Not wanting to let the thought fade she walked out the room and down the hallway. When she did she saw Cell, meditating near the couch. Next to him was Giru, messing with the channels on the T.V.

"Giru doesn't understand, why are there multiple earthling females lusting after one male?" The robot asked

"Because they have to entertain humans somehow, so they came up with the idea of one person choosing between a line of potential mates." Cell explained without opening his eyes

"So, do human males have the ability to choose between a line of females?" Giru asked again

"They wish." Cell remarked

Cell then opened his eyes, realizing that 21 was standing in front of him

"Ready to sleep I presume?" Cell asked 21

"Actually, I realized something. I don't remember much after I became an Android, but maybe I can read my diary to find out how I acted." 21 explained

"I see. But I must add that I've read through it before, and I have to warn you that not everything inside is pretty. I strongly suggest that you wait until tomorrow to do so." Cell warned 21 seriously

Cell remembers when he read the diary, (more specifically when the clone of him read it) and it was fairly frightening what he read. Knowing that 21 doesn't remember anything after her transformation, it is pretty scary for a normal person to see the voluntary and gradual change overtime in oneself

Cell knew she was gonna read it, but such a concept is nothing to take lightly

"Thanks, I guess I'll read it tomorrow then." 21 said before walking back to bed

"If Cell is telling that I should read it later when I'm better prepared then it must really be serious." 21 thought as she walked back to her own room

21 soon laid down on her queen sized bed. The curiosity of her diary prevented her from sleeping for a few minutes before she soon fell to sleep anyway


Bonus bit: A Kid's Mentality


The very next morning was fairly normal for the Briefs family. Everyone collectively woke up, had their breakfast and began their days

This time, Goten woke up early to visit Teen Trunks, and the two ended up training together with Vegeta (especially after the embarrassment of their tails getting pulled on)

Inside the gravity room, Vegeta fought fiercely against the two kids

"Hrah!!!" He yelled as he kicked Goten to the side

Goten was thrown towards a wall, however Trunks was able to grab Goten and throw him back like a basketball

Vegeta was caught off guard by this, and he was slammed against the head with a fist

Vegeta was thrown back, allowing Trunks to rush in and assault his father with a flurry of blows

Vegeta however, transformed into a Super Saiyan 4, which allowed him to ignore the direct blows

"Your minute is up." Vegeta said as the boys groaned

"Man I thought I had you this time, thanks anyway Goten." Teen Trunks told his short friend

"No problem, this was really fun!" Goten exclaimed

"Please, you were thrown like a bowling ball." Vegeta remarked, making Trunks and himself laugh

"Hey! I'll grow eventually!" Goten yelled

Everyone settled back down, and when they did a question popped into Goten's head

"Hey Vegeta, why do you call your new form Super Saiyan 4?" He asked

"Because that's what it's called, end of story." Vegeta said

"But my dad's transformation is called Super Saiyan God, God!" Goten exclaimed, irritating Vegeta

"So what? I'm not bothered by how my form sounds." Vegeta said firmly

"But Goten's right. Your form is cool but...it doesn't sound cool." Trunks added, making Vegeta think for once

There was a moment of silence before Vegeta crossed his arms

"And what do you two have in mind?" Vegeta asked, making their faces light up with glee

"Oh oh, what about, uh Super Saiyan Ultra! Great Ape Saiyan!" Trunks shot balled

"Berserker Saiyan! Angry Super Saiyan! Money Saiyan!" Goten shot balled as well

"Those we're really lame Goten." Trunk said honestly

"I'm thinking!" Goten shouted

"Hmph, forget it." Vegeta said as he started to walk out the room

"Wait wait I got one! How about...Super Saiyan Primal!" Goten said

"That...that's actually pretty good." Trunks complemented

"Hm...Super Saiyan Primal...it has a ring to it. Fine, I'm changing the name of the form." Vegeta said, smirking at how well the name sounded

Both Trunks and Goten smiled widely as they high fived, proud of their work

"Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Primal Huh, that name really does fit the form." Vegeta thought further
