NOTE: Thank you all so much for giving this story a chance! It started out as a simple shitpost story but then developed into a full-fledged fanfic. I had a lot of fun writing this and loved to see your comments (Both good and bad). Hopefully, the sequels and the movies will be better written than this one.
Enjoy and Review!
Final Chapter: Our Happy Ending
Kibito Kai finished teleporting the group to New Namek. Denji and Asa were in awe at the alien planet, which was understandable considering this was their first time visiting one. The two had been too focused on the battle last time to realize this fact. Yoru was indifferent to it even though this was also her first time on an alien planet.
"So, this is your home, Dende?" Asa asked.
"Yes, well, at least our newer one. Freeza blew up the original one." Dende explained.
"Wait, so you guys just moved to a new one?" Denji asked.
"We had Porunga, our dragon, create a new one for us."
Elder Kai pushed them aside. "We have no time for these conversations! Time is of the essence, you know?!"
"Exactly as the Supreme Kai says, we have much to do." The group turned around to see Elder Moori, the Namekian that succeeded Guru as the Grand Elder, and a bunch of other Namekians standing behind them.
"Elder Moori! Everyone!" Dende exclaimed, happy to see his people again after so long. As much as he would love to catch up with them, he knew they were running on short time. "Sorry to ask of this so suddenly but we need to use-"
"No need, Dende." Moori waved him off. "We could sense the negative energy filling the universe from all the way here. We had a feeling you would arrive soon and prepared just in case." Moori slammed his cane once on the ground as the signal for the others to act. Seven Namekians raised their hands to reveal that they had already gathered all of the Dragon Balls.
"You already have them?! Alright!" Dende cheered.
"Woah?! That's what yours looks like?! Our balls look so small!" Denji exclaimed.
"Does he realize what he just said?" Yoru asked.
"No…no he doesn't." Asa sighed.
"Vegeta! We have all seven Dragon Balls already!"
"Perfect!" Vegeta was thankful that the most difficult part of his plan was already taken care of so easily. "Then summon Porunga now! We have two wishes: Restore the Earth, then resurrect everyone who's died since the day of the tournament except the really bad ones!"
"Wait, right now?"
"Yes, right now!"
"But-"
"Dende, just do it. Vegeta has a plan, and it might be our only shot." Goku insisted, which was all the convincing Dende needed.
"Okay. What about the third wish?"
"Forget it. Do whatever you want with it." Vegeta responded.
Goku scratched his head. "Vegeta, wouldn't it have been easier to say resurrect everyone killed by Buu?"
"Then Babadi and his followers would also come back, darling." Makima reminded him.
"There's also all of those people I killed at the tournament." Vegeta added.
"Oh yeah! Man, you really thought all of this out, huh?" Goku was pretty impressed.
Makima nodded her head. "It is pretty impressive that a neanderthal like him could think of this before I did."
"Shut up! Both of you!" Vegeta hissed, blushing.
Dende realized something pretty quickly. "Wait, Vegeta! We can't fulfill the second wish because Porunga can only bring people back one at a time!"
"What?!" Vegeta exclaimed.
"What kind of stupid flaw is that?! C'mon, there has to be something we can do!" Asa panicked.
"Don't worry, everyone." Moori grabbed their attention. "After the fiasco with Freeza we've upgraded Porunga's powers. Such a wish should be possible now."
"Really?! That's awesome!" Dende was thankful that their luck was working out for once. "Okay, Vegeta! Your plan should be able to work now!"
Elder Kai still wanted to nag. "Oh, the travesty! Messing with nature's laws!"
"Dude, who cares about all of that now? Whatever that Vegeta guy has planned is likely to work out for us anyhow. Save the whole universe, ya know?"
"What would a mere human child like you understand about the natural order? Gah! Dragon Balls are a pain…!" Elder Kai whined.
"Just ignore him." Asa told her friend.
Once the Dragon Balls were grouped together, Moori shouted the chant in Namekian language. The balls glowed brightly, their activation darkened the skies above, and a bright streak of light erupted from the golden orbs. The light morphed into a larger and muscular dragon compared to the skinny Shenron that Denji witnessed before back on Earth. "This Porridge looks awesome!"
"It's Porunga." Dende corrected.
"That's what I said."
The young Namekian was going to correct him again until he saw Asa shaking her head at him. It was better to focus on the problem at hand instead of correcting Denji on the dragon's name.
"STATE YOUR WISHES. I WILL GRANT ANY THREE." Porunga spoke.
"Say your wishes, Dende. Do you still remember how to speak Namekian?" Moori questioned.
"Of course!" The young Namekian exclaimed confidently. He turned around to the dragon and yelled out his wish. "A distant planet named Earth was destroyed! Please restore it!"
"OK."
Lilith's eyes widened when she felt a shift occur inside of her. She spawned a smaller crystal ball in her hands to view the universe outside. Her eyes widened slightly upon seeing that the Earth had returned to its prior state. "I see…" She smiled with pride. The Death Devil was confused as to why Vegeta and her family were standing around as the battle was going on. Seems they were enacting a little plan to put Buu down once and for all. She snapped her fingers, spawning two other crystal balls, and tossed them to Bulma and Piccolo. "Here."
Bulma looked confused. "What are these for?"
"If I'm correct, then you're going to need them when you return to Earth."
"Return to-" Piccolo's eyes widened. "-You don't mean!"
"We've reached the climax, folks. Let's see where it goes."
"The Earth really is back like nothing happened!" Asa exclaimed as she and the others peered down at the crystal ball.
"Alright!" Denji laughed.
"WHAT IS YOUR SECOND WISH?"
"Um…how should I put this? Please bring back everyone who died after the day of the day Babadi the warlock came to Earth! Except the really bad ones!" Dende stated next.
"ALRIGHT. THERE ARE A LOT, SO IT MAY TAKE A WHILE."
Kibito Kai gasped quietly. "To think something like this is really possible…"
"GYAHAHAHAHA!" Kid Buu screeched as he dashed towards his counterpart. He extended his leg like a bullet train, slamming it into Fat Buu. The fat one coughed out blood and spit from the damage dealt. The smaller one closed the distance between them and whacked his wider opponent away. Then he tore off his left arm, curled it into a ball, and used it to batter Fat Buu mercilessly.
"You've noticed it right, demon woman?" Vegeta questioned her.
"I do. The fat one is taking damage against the smaller one. Where we all failed to actually deal lasting damage, these Buus are actually capable of hurting each other." Makima said.
"If things continue on like this, then the fat one will die. We'll be next on his list." Goku informs his allies.
Vegeta was wondering what was taking so long. "Dende! Is he done yet?!"
"Quit your nagging! He has to bring back every human, you know?" Elder Kai responded. Suddenly, the old Kai's halo vanished, and he could feel his heart beating once again.
"Hey! You're alive again!" Dende exclaimed.
"That's great, Elder!" Kibito Kai yelled.
"THERE YOU GO. YOUR SECOND WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED."
Yoru's eyes widened as a wave of power re-entered her body. "You can feel it too, right Asa?"
"Y-yes! It worked! Everyone's back to life!" Asa exclaimed happily.
Denji also felt his heart tingle from the sensation. "Oh yeah! That's what we like to see!"
Fami frowned when she realized she was back on the Lookout and her nephew was no longer in her lap. However, she could feel that her family had been brought back to life as well. The fear that humanity held for Famine swelled back up inside her, increasing her strength back to how it should be.
"W-we're alive again!" Krillin exclaimed.
Power shivered slightly. "That felt…freaky. But I'm still much better off than you humans!"
"Sure." Yamcha rolled his eyes. He looked over at Aki. "How about you?"
"Dying felt utterly horrifying. But having life restored back into me makes me appreciate my life far more than I did before." Aki answered.
"Welcome to the club." Yamcha shared a fist bump with the hunter.
Krillin and Roshi noticed that Bulma was holding something in her hands. "What do you have there, Bulma?"
She held up the crystal ball. "Lilith gave it to me. I guess she figured we were all going to be brought back to life, so she gave me and Piccolo this so we can continue watching the battle."
"Heh! That Death!" Roshi giggled. "Perhaps I should invite her to the Turtle School as appreciation?" Clear perverted thoughts were going through his head.
"Your funeral." Krillin muttered.
"We're alive?" Gohan realized. He could feel the air in his lungs and his heart pumping in his chest. "That was pretty sudden."
"OW!"
He looked over to see Nayuta rubbing her arm, glaring at Goten. The female hybrid was sending lethal visual daggers at her twin. "What the heck, Goten?!"
"I was making sure I was alive."
"You hit yourself to check that! Not someone else!"
"But you always hit me?"
"Because you're an idiot!" Nayuta punched him into the wall behind them. "Idiots always get punched!"
"Then why haven't you punched yourself yet?" Trunks grinned. That grin vanished when her anger shifted to him, making the heir raise his hands in surrender.
"Focus up!" Piccolo's shout grabbed their attention. He held the crystal ball for them to see. "Looks like Lilith gave us a gift. Let's see just how this battle ends."
"Right!"
As life returned to her body, Makima could feel the dragon's power pulling her back towards Earth. She refused, wishing to stay and see the conclusion of the battle, and thankfully the dragon listened. The Control Devil felt her power return to as it should with humanity now restored to life. But what was more surprising was Vegeta.
"Woah, Vegeta! You're back to life too! I guess the universe considers you a good guy now! Good for you!" Goku smiled happily.
The prince was surprised to see that he was breathing once again, even after everything he had done. Perhaps he really has changed for the better due to this entire fiasco. His wounds had even healed putting him back to his top physical shape. "I suppose I got lucky."
"Yes, it's surprising that someone like you returned to life as a good person." Makima teased.
"I don't want to hear that coming from you!" Vegeta yelled.
"So, what's the plan, Vegeta? Do you want to bring Gohan and the kids here next?" Goku asked.
"No. To make sure we can kill Buu permanently we need a technique that can guarantee his demise! Start making ready for the Spirit Bomb!" Vegeta declared.
"T-the Spirit Bomb?! That's your great plan?! It won't work! Taking a bit of energy from everyone on Earth won't be enough to-"
"I said that the Earthlings need to fight their battles for once." Vegeta interrupted his fellow Saiyan. "Majin Buu killed them all, destroyed their planet, and treated them all as his own little playthings! This battle is theirs as much as it is ours! You're going to take everything they can give!"
"Vegeta! What do we do with the third wish?!"
"We don't need it!" Vegeta answered. "Supreme Kai, I wish to speak to the people of the Earth! Can you make it happen?!"
"You mean like Babadi? I can't do that."
"What?!" Vegeta gasped.
"Leave that to me! Something like that is my specialty!"
"King Kai?!" Goku exclaimed.
"Where have you been this entire time?" Makima asked.
"Watching as always! It makes me happy to see you want to use my technique as the finisher, Vegeta! I can let you talk to everyone in the universe if you want?"
"There's no need to overdo it! As if we'll ever need to go that far." Vegeta denied the suggestion. "Just let me speak to Earth."
"Can do."
Makima looked over to see Kobeni and Hercule were getting caught up in the chaotic battle. She extended her chains to grab the two humans, dragging them over to them for safe cover. The two would've thanked her loudly but she silenced them with a single look.
Vegeta started to speak. "People of Earth, can you hear me? I speak to you from a distant planet!"
Miri and the rest of the hybrid squad stared up at the sky as the mysterious voice continued to speak to them. They were confused at how they suddenly returned to life and what could've happened to Majin Buu, but Vegeta's message caught their attention.
"Right now, most of you have realized that you've returned to life after being killed by Buu! Your cities and homes have been restored as well! This is no dream!"
"N-not a dream? What is he talking about?" Hercule asked.
"Ssshhh! He's talking to the Earth, right now." Goku responded.
"What?! I knew it's a dream! Why is he bothering with all of this instead of helping Buu?!" Hercule asked. He felt a tug on his GI and turned to see a shivering Kobeni.
"I-I think we should l-listen…"
"Why?"
She pointed at Makima. The Control Devil gave them a smile, which was more of a warning to shut up than anything else.
"But the situation is grim! Buu is far stronger than Cell and any Devil you may have heard of!"
"That's Vegeta's voice!" Bulma exclaimed with joy. It had been too long since she'd heard her husband's voice.
"Quiet!" Krillin whispered.
"We need your help!"
"Raise your hands to the sky! We need all of your energy to defeat Buu! You'll feel tired but don't worry! Your strength will return! Now do it! Raise your hands!"
King Kai grumbled, seeing the issue with Vegeta's idea. "No, Vegeta! You don't know how to ask people! Especially humans after everything that's happened!"
"Get started, Kakarot!"
"Right!" Goku tore off the rest of his orange top, leaving him in his blue undershirt. "Great idea, Vegeta! You're a hero!"
"I wouldn't say that. He reached a conclusion that I also would've gotten just as quickly." Makima scoffed.
"Then why didn't you suggest the same thing?" Vegeta smirked, earning a glare from the devil.
Goku, ignoring their petty arguing, jumped into the sky. He raised his hands into the air to gather the energy. "EVERYONE! RAISE YOUR HANDS TO THE SKY! ALL THE ENERGY THAT YOU CAN GIVE!"
"Here you go, Dad!" Gohan raised his hands.
"Take it all, Papa!" Nayuta exclaimed.
"You got this, Mommy! Daddy!" Goten exclaimed.
"Go for it, Dad!" Trunks joined in.
"Heh! Vegeta never ceases to surprise me!" Piccolo raised his hands as well.
"Take it all!" The ones on the Lookout happily raised their hands to give their energy.
"You guys got this!"
"Here you go!"
"Huh? L-like this?" Videl nervously raised her hands up. She gasped as she felt her energy leave her body, exhausting her a bit. "W-w-woah!"
"I'm not raising my hands!" Power huffed. "Why should I give it to some lowly human?!"
Aki gave her a flat stare. "Vegeta isn't human."
…
"Oh yeah." Power then raised her hands up without a fuss.
"Raise your hands, everyone!" Dende shouted. His fellow Namekians raised their hands to sky without question.
"Already on it!" Denji was more than fine with complying.
"Might as well." Elder Kai and Kibito Kai followed suit.
Asa, who already had her hand up, looked over to Yoru. The War Devil just scoffed at her partner before lifting up a single hand. "Fine. But just this once."
Goku whistled loudly at how fast the energy started flowing in. "Whoo-hoo! Look at all of this! It must be Gohan and the rest!"
"But it's not enough!" Makima frowned. It didn't take her long to figure out why the only energy they received was from the people they knew.
"Why should we trust this guy?"
"He said to raise our hands."
"Who is he anyway?"
"It could be Buu."
"This has to be a dream."
More and more doubts from humans continued to pour into their heads. Vegeta's disbelief grew by the second. "Accursed morons…!"
"Hey! This isn't enough energy! We're gonna need more!" Goku yelled down at them.
"Those foolish Earthlings don't believe a word that I say!" Vegeta shouted.
"Of course they don't." Makima crossed her arms. "They've already been terrorized by one mysterious voice in their heads for days straight. Humans have no reason to trust you even if you give them a reason like trying to beat Buu. They're foolish for a reason."
"Goddammit!" Vegeta screamed. "Do you Earthlings want Buu to kill you all again! You have a chance to save your own planet for once!"
"Don't listen to them! They'll just steal your energy!"
"Be careful! Nobody raise your hands!"
"Who would listen to that freak?!"
"I bet it's just Babadi again!"
Vegeta's patience was growing incredibly thin. "Idiots! You goddamn idiots!"
BAM!
Their worries only grew worse as Kid Buu had beaten the literal fight out of his good copy. Vegeta grits his teeth in frustration. "Damn! The fat one is close to death!"
"No! Buu!" Hercule picked up a stone and threw it at Kid Buu. "Get away from him!"
"W-wait! Don't bring his attention over here!" Kobeni screeched.
Too late. The stone connected with the Majin's head, gaining his attention. Which also had the unfortunate effect of alerting Buu of their plan. Kid Buu's eyes widened in fear at the pure energy rolling off of the Spirit Bomb as if his senses were screaming at him to get rid of that thing at all costs.
"Dammit! He's realized our plan!" Vegeta cursed.
"HIIIIIISSSSSSS!" Kid Buu screeched like a wild animal.
Vegeta prepared himself for battle. "Kakarot! Your wife and I shall hold him off! You focus on convincing those idiodic Earthlings!" He took off to confront Kid Buu, blocking the Majin from reaching Goku. It was only when he was face-to-face with the creature did, he realize that he was alone. Vegeta turned back to see Makima didn't make a move to help him. "What the hell are you doing?!"
"Someone has to protect darling when you get killed."
"AT LEAST HAVE SOME FAITH THAT I'LL LIVE!" Vegeta's lack of attention cost him. Buu happily pulled him by his hair into a devastating punch to his back. He cried out in pain when he was thrown into the ground. Buu cackled madly and pursued the prince to continue the beatdown.
Goku blinked. "Uh… Makima?"
"Just focus on convincing the Earthlings, darling!"
"Right!" Goku nodded his head. "PEOPLE OF EARTH! PLEASE RAISE YOUR HANDS TO THE SKY! WE NEED ALL THE ENERGY YOU CAN GIVE!"
In a small village below Korin's Tower, a young man with dark skin gasped. "Father…that voice!"
"Yes, it sounds like Son Goku. We shall raise our hands to the sky to support him and his allies, Upa!"
"Yes, Father!" Upa and his people gave their energy to the Spirit Bomb, praying for Goku's victory.
A young man with similar features to Lazuli smirked. "Did you hear that, 16?" He turned around to the hulking android behind him. Android 16 stood up from the rock he was sitting on, the Red Ribbon insignia on his chest had been replaced with a park ranger symbol.
"Yes, it sounds like Son Goku." 16 answered.
"I guess we should lend him a hand, huh?" Lapis smirked.
A young deer came up to 16, allowing him to softly pat its head. "Yes, we shall."
Lapis turned to the seven Cell Jrs. playing in the snow by the cabin. "You hear that, you tikes? Raise your hands to the skies and I'll buy you ice cream later!"
The Cell Jrs. screeched happily and complied with their master's orders. Lapis and 16 followed suit and gave their energy to the Spirit Bomb.
"Suno! Suno! Did you hear that?!" A Frankenstein-like android happily exclaimed.
"I sure did, Eighter! It's Goku asking for our help!" Suno, a young woman with bright red hair, turned to the rest of the village. "Everyone, let's lend him our help!"
"YEAH!" The people of Jingle Village were more than happy to lend their energy.
"Lady Annin? Shall we?" Grandpa Gohan looked over at his mistress.
"We shall." Lady Annin, the guardian of the Sacred Furnace, raised her hand alongside Gohan to support his grandson.
Lilith sat on Yemma's desk, watching the chaos alongside Yemma and the rest of his ogres. The judge of the afterlife slammed his large fists on the desk. "C'mon, Son Goku! You have to win! We're counting on you!"
"The humans are refusing to listen. Should've seen this one coming. Alright, I'll see what I can do." Lilith vanished from the check-in station, not caring if anyone realized or not. She returned down to her castle and grabbed her musical equipment. "Looks like they still need big sister to work her magic."
"It sounds like a nicer guy this time!"
"Don't be fooled! He's probably changing his voice!"
"Yeah! Why don't they show themselves?!"
Goku felt the small bit of energy added but it still wasn't enough. He could see that Vegeta was losing badly against Kid Buu. If they didn't get the necessary energy soon, then the prince would get killed again! Not only that, but he and the rest would be next! "Hurry, please! Don't you fools care about the Earth?!"
"Now he's calling us 'fools'?!"
"Just ignore him."
"This was all likely some mass hallucination anyway."
Makima felt her own anger boiling with each ignorant comment that entered her mind. This entire plan hinged on these stupid humans putting themselves aside for once for the bigger picture. She understood but that didn't change the fact that these ungrateful bastards have the gall to insult her darling. The man who has given his life, his time with his family, and everything just for their sakes! And what did he get in return?! Nothing but ungrateful spoiled-
"PLEASE!"
Makima's eyes snapped towards Kobeni, who was clasping her hands tight with her eyes closed. The poor woman still looked damn near close to crying her eyes out. "Please! I know things may sound terrible, and I'd be just like you if I were in your shoes, if I hadn't seen everything that I am now! But these people, who are giving it everything they have, are begging for your help! Please! Raise your hands into the sky!"
"Kobeni…?" Makima was shocked, genuinely. A sense of pride entered her at the thought of this pathetic cowardly woman who usually thought of her own survival was actually advocating for people other than herself.
Hercule stared at her with widened eyes. His own fists clenched in frustration.
"But these people, who are giving it everything they have, are begging for your help! Please! Raise your hands into the sky!"
Kishibe finished a swig of his alcohol. "Heh…who would've thought, huh?" He looked over at the eye-patch woman sitting next to him. She took her own swig of whiskey as well.
"Little Kobeni is finally standing on her own two feet, huh? Guess, I better lend her my support." Himeno raised her hand to the sky.
"Those guys are giving it their all. I'd be a pretty terrible hunter if I didn't help exterminate a pest." Kishibe raised his hand as well. The other hunters and employees noticed the fact that the more well-known ones were lending their support and recognized Kobeni's voice. They all started lending their aid as well.
Miri shot his hands upwards, surprising his colleagues. Reze was the most surprised to see his support of the voices. "Miri, you-"
"I don't know whether or not we can really trust them. But if that scaredy cat is up there fighting while I couldn't even do shit, then I might as well give everything I have!" Miri declared. "Take it all! And kill that pink sonuvabitch!"
Reze admired the boy's spirit and smiled. She wondered if Denji would've said the same thing in his position. "In that case! I'll do it too!" Reze lifted her hands to the sky.
"If you're doing it, then I might as well." Quanxi raised her hands. Barem joined in without a word, lifting both of his hands.
Katana Man sighed. "Fine! Only because I want to live long enough to kick that Chainsaw brat in the balls!" He declared before raising his own alongside the other two hybrids.
A young boy's eyes widened when he recognized his sister's voice. "Kobeni…?" His parents hadn't been brought back to life like he had been. Thus, he was all alone. He hated being alone and wanted to see his sister again. So, the boy raised his hands into the sky to support her.
"Kobeni, why did you do that?" Makima asked. Hercule was also pretty interested to know why she had done that. He didn't think she had the courage to speak up in such a way.
The cowardly girl pressed her fingers together. "I-I just…" Her eyes drifted to Hercule and Fat Buu. "I don't want to lose my new family."
Such a simple reason. A simple and pure reason that Hercule felt his own heart clench. His thoughts drifted to Videl. If she was alive again as he was told, then that meant she was still in danger. Buu, Bee, Beni, and Videl were his family, people who he held dear to his heart. Much more than the fame and fortune that he had wrongly taken these last seven years. "Even Beni found the strength to help…and what have I been doing? I've been running away and lying for so long…! What kind of champion…?!"
"Don't listen to them!"
"Yeah! Using some girl's voice to try and gain sympathy? Dirty move."
"We should just stop listening to these losers!"
"Yeah, not worth our-"
"SHUT UUUUUUPPPPPP!" Hercule roared loudly, surprising everyone who was listening. "WHY CAN'T YOU JUST HELP?! WHAT WOULD IF, I, HERCULE, HAD THAT KIND OF POOR ATTITUDE, HUH?!"
"What?! Hercule?!"
"Was that Mr. Satan?!"
"Does that mean he's the one fighting Buu?!"
Hercule's eyes widened, realizing what he could finally do to help. "Y-yeah! That's right! Mr. Satan is fighting Buu to protect all of you! But I can't do it alone! I need all of you to raise your hands and give me your support! Let's show this bastard that we Earthlings aren't anything to scoff at!"
Makima, Goku, and Kobeni stared at him.
"W-what? I mean, they wouldn't have given their support otherwise, right? We have to take down that evil Buu." Hercule said.
Makima could hear the loud chanting of Hercule's name. The love, compassion, energy, and hope that each shout carried as people raised their hands. Not once, in her entire existence, has she seen humans come together to unite. Never before had she even carried the thought that humanity could be capable of uniting unless they were under her control. But then Hercule Satan just proved her centuries worth of belief wrong in one little action. An action that would lead to the entire universe being saved. She couldn't help but think about her views on humans. "Maybe control isn't what they've needed. Perhaps, just like me, humanity just needed someone to believe in."
Lilith strummed her guitar, the soundwaves coursed through the speakers, echoing all over Hell. "HEY, YOU PIECES OF SHITS! CAN YOU HEAR ME?!"
A loud thunderous roar from the Devils that occupied Hell was heard in response.
"I SAID, CAN YOU HEAR ME?!"
The roars increased in volume.
"I CAN FEEL IT! YOUR HATRED AND RAGE AT THE MONSTER THAT WREAKED HAVOC ALL OVER YOU SHITS! THE ONE THAT CORNERED YOU AND MADE YOU FEEL LIKE THOSE PATHETIC HUMANS, RIGHT?!"
Lilith bathed within the energy radiating from the roaring devils.
"THEN RAISE THOSE HANDS UP AND LET'S SHOW THE LITTLE PINK FUCK THAT WE DEVILS ARE THE TRUE MONSTERS IN THIS WORLD!"
"RRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHH!"
"ROCK N' ROLL!" Lilith gave one last powerful strum to her guitar, creating a devastating powerful soundwave that coursed through the entire afterlife.
POW!
"G-gah…!" Vegeta couldn't take any more. He fell to the ground, defeated and beaten once more.
"Hold on, Vegeta! It's on its way!" Goku yelled out.
Hercule and Kobeni were hiding behind some rocks. "Don't you have it yet?!"
"Why isn't it here?!" Kobeni screamed.
Makima's eyes widened as she felt the utterly tremendous waves of pure energy coming straight towards them. The energy fused itself into the building Spirit Bomb, completing the ultimate technique.
Goku was blown away by the sheer size of the Spirit Bomb. It was far larger than the one he used against Freeza years ago. "IT'S HERE AND IT'S HUGE TOO! RUN, VEGETA! HERE IT COMES!"
Vegeta could barely even move. It took all of his remaining strength to stay conscious after that brutal beatdown he just got. He coughed out some blood before yelling out. "Just throw it! This is our only shot!"
"GRAAAAAH!" Kid Buu roared angrily. He threw a KI blast at Goku to kill him, but Makima created an invisible wall to protect her husband.
"Damn! At this rate-huh?" Goku blinked when he saw that Vegeta was no longer there. Instead, the prince was being carried to safety by Hercule. The champ was taking him over to where Makima had teleported herself and Kobeni too, where they'd be safely out of the way.
"Hurry! Finish him off!" Hercule yelled.
Goku was absolutely blown away by Hercule's constant displays of heroism. "GOOD JOB, HERCULE! YOU REALLY ARE-" He brought down his arms, launching the Spirit Bomb. "THE WORLD'S CHAMPION!"
Kid Buu's eyes widened as the giant ball of energy came at him blazingly quick. He fired off a Kamehameha, but the attack didn't even faze the Spirit Bomb.
"NOW, BUU!" Goku pushed out his arms to stabilize the attack. "IT ENDS HERE!"
Kid Buu caught the Spirit Bomb, pushing back against the massive spirit ball with all of his power. Fear and anger kept the evil Majin afloat as he managed to keep himself steady. "Ggghrh! HEEEAAAAAAH!"
"T-TAKE…THAT!" Goku stressed out as he fought back against Buu's pushing. He was struggling, far more than he should be. Goku could feel himself and the Spirit Bomb being pushed back by Buu. "C-come on…! Come on! Just a little more…! We're almost there…!"
Kobeni was shaking like a leaf. "W-what's going on?! Why isn't it working?! Did we still not have enough?!"
"N-no…!" Vegeta coughed out. "The Spirit Bomb isn't the issue! It's Kakarot! He doesn't have enough energy to fully unleash it!"
"What?!" Hercule screamed.
Makima's heart clenched as she felt the pressure and stress from her darling. "Darling…!"
"C'MON, DAD! KEEP PUSHING!" Gohan yelled.
"PAPA/DADDY!" Goten and Nayuta shouted.
"No! Goku doesn't have any strength left!" Piccolo exclaimed.
"Keep pushing, buddy! You can win this!" Krillin and the rest were cheering for Goku's victory.
"Goku, please! You have to win!" Bulma shouted.
"Show him why he shouldn't mess with us!" Yamcha added.
"You have more strength than that, my boy! Give it some more!" Roshi yelled.
"Goku! You can do it!" They were all cheering for him.
"Goku! All of us in the afterlife gave you our energy as well! You can do it!" Yemma and his employees were cheering on the Saiyan.
Lilith watched the scene with clenched fists. "Don't make all this effort pointless, brother-in-law! We Devils are counting on you too!"
Goku was losing ground in this struggle. His body didn't have the strength left for the finishing push. Buu could feel his power waning and took immense delight as he pushed the Spirit Bomb back with each step. "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"
"I-I-I can't…! I CAN'T HOLD IT!" Goku cried hopelessly.
Then he felt a push against his back.
Goku turned around to see Makima pressing her hands into his back. He could feel her energy flowing into him, helping to fuel his strength. "Makima…?!"
"We're in this together… Darling! In sickness…"
"...And in health!" Goku continued.
"We'll always support each other!" Goku and Makima combined their strength to push back against Kid Buu. The Majin felt the scales tip a bit, but didn't falter in his steps. He still had enough power to take them out.
"T-this isn't good!" Dende exclaimed as they all watched the climactic struggle.
"Dammit all! Those two better not lose! Not when everything is riding on this!" Yoru yelled.
"Isn't there a way to send them more energy?!" Elder Kai asked.
"We already gave everything we have to the Spirit Bomb!" Moori answered.
"No! No! No! Not when everything was just looking up too!" Denji was panicking.
"Don't lose hope yet, Denji! There has to be a way! A way to give them more power!" Asa yelled out.
Dende's eyes widened at what she said. "That's it, Asa!"
"What is?" She and everyone else looked confused.
"HOW LONG ARE YOU ALL GOING TO MAKE ME WAIT? I'LL LEAVE IF YOU DON'T SAY A WISH."
"Of course!" Dende turned to the dragon. "Porunga! Can you restore the energy of Son Goku! The one fighting Majin Buu?!"
"IF I ONLY HAVE TO RETURN HIM TO NORMAL LEVELS. YES."
Asa, Yoru, Denji, the Kais, and Dende all jumped up. "THAT'S IT! THAT'S OUR WISH!"
Goku and Makima's power wasn't making the cut. The two were still losing ground to Majin Buu. If this truly was going to be the end, then at least they'd die together!
"Goku! Your energy! We wished for it to be restored!"
The Earthly Saiyan felt his body's exhaustion vanish like the wind. His energy came back to him like a second wind, and he was all too happy to use it! "Yes, I can feel it! THANK YOU, DRAGON BALLS!"
"HYAH!" Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan. He moved his body back to take hold of Makima's right hand, interlocking their fingers. The Control Devil gasped as her husband's energy flowed into her. She felt his golden aura incase itself around her, turning her red hair into a similar golden color. Her yellow spirals took a teal color much like a Super Saiyan.
"Darling!" Makima's entire body was on cloud nine! It was as if her husband was sharing his everything with her for the first time once again. An expression of pure bliss and love graced her features.
"Together, right?" Goku smiled.
"Yes, darling." Makima returned the smile.
"HAH!" Together, husband and wife took control of the struggle, pushing the Spirit Bomb against Buu. Kid Buu let out a startled gasp as the pure energy was pushed into him, none of his power was even capable of fighting back now.
Makima stared down at the pathetic little pink monster that had caused them so much trouble. "I hate you with every fiber of my being. You tortured me, killed me, killed my children, and destroyed our home. However, if it weren't for you then my darling never would've returned to me." Makima met her husband's eyes once more before looking back at Buu. "We wouldn't have our happy ending. So, for that, I'll always be grateful."
Goku's turn for some last words. "You were amazing, Buu. The strongest I've ever faced. I hope you're reborn one day as a good person. That way we can have another one-on-one. I'll be training and waiting… Until then! See ya!"
Buu could only stare at them in horror. For the first time, the monster had been fully consumed by fear.
The married couple pulled back their hands, prepared to finish the long fight.
Everyone cheered them on one final time.
"GOKU!"
"MAKIMA!"
"MOM/DAD!"
"MOMMA/PAPA!"
"MOMMY/DADDY!"
"BROTHER-IN-LAW!"
"CONTROL!"
"KAKAROT!"
"FINISH IT!"
Goku and Makima gave the final push. "HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Kid Buu gave one last cry as the Spirit Bomb completely engulfed him, erasing Majin Buu entirely. The ultimate attack dragged through the planet like a comet before ascending into the air. The Spirit Bomb reached the darkness of space and exploded, creating a beautifully bright sight of colors for the whole universe to witness.
Once everything was fully settled, Goku and Makima allowed themselves to relax. Husband wrapped his wife in his arms, hugging her close to his chest. Goku let out a small laugh. "It's finally over, huh?"
"Yes, darling. I guess those Dragon Balls have proved their usefulness." Makima giggled.
As the remnants of the Spirit Bomb could be seen falling through space like shooting stars, the couple was completely absorbed with each other. They slowly descended to the ground as their lips met in a passionate kiss.
Vegeta pushed himself off of Hercule and fell to the ground. "Tch! Look at them. Acting all lovey in front of others." Even though his words sounded mean, the prince was smiling happily. As the two touched back down in front of them, they turned to the group with fresh smiles. Vegeta scoffed. "What are you two smiling about? You both never cease to piss me off, Goku, Makima."
Goku and Makima looked surprised to hear him say their names but started giggling. The Saiyan from Earth then gave the prince a thumbs up. "We did it."
Hercule rushed over with a hopeful look. "Really?! Is it really over?!"
Goku nodded his head. "Yup! We won!"
The champion couldn't contain his excitement and turned his head towards the skies. "CITIZENS OF EARTH! CAN YOU HEAR ME?! THANKS TO YOUR HELP! MAJIN BUU HAS BEEN DEFEATED! HIS REIGN OF TERROR IS OVER!"
"THEY DID IT! THEY DID IT!" Elder Kai was rejoicing in their victory. The Namekians were dancing happily as well, pleased to see everything ended perfectly.
"YES! YES! YES!" Asa jumped up and down. She grabbed the closest person next to her, which was Denji, and hugged him tightly. "WE WON!"
The hybrid was blushing up a storm. "Y-yeah! W-w-w-we can go b-back home!"
"Yeah! We…we…" Asa realized what she was doing. She quickly pulled away and turned away with her own scarlet colored face. "J-just forget that happened!"
Denji didn't want to, in fact, he got closer to her. "Hey, Asa."
"W-what? If this is about touching my boobs or whatever has a celebration gift, then forget-"
"Thanks."
"Eh?" She fully turned to him. She froze at the sight of his soft smile, which looked absolutely adorable. "F-for what?"
"For what you said back in Buu's body. I really needed to hear that. Thanks for…uh…putting up my bullshit." He scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
Asa pressed her fingers together. "D-don't mention it. I meant every word. You're important to me."
Denji smiled. "That makes me really happy."
Yoru rolled her eyes, finding the romantic atmosphere sickening. Though, she wouldn't deny that she was also happy to see that the chaos was finally over. Her brother and sister once again saved the day, and this time she wasn't upset about it.
"Is it true, Piccolo?" Gohan asked. His siblings and Trunks were also looking towards the Namekian's answer.
"It is." Piccolo smiled at the hybrids. "Majin Buu's energy completely vanished."
"ALRIGHT!" The kids cheered, jumping up and down with excitement.
Gohan chuckled at their energy, happy to see that the world can go back to normal. "Guess it's time we head back to the Lookout?"
"Of course." Piccolo nodded.
"Oh, Daddy…" Videl groaned with red cheeks. While everyone else was celebrating the victory of their allies, she was a little embarrassed by her father's usual behavior. However, she couldn't deny his efforts to their overall victory. Videl was proud to be his daughter, the daughter of the man who helped save the world.
"Hey, look!" Videl turned to see where Krillin was pointing at. Her eyes widened at the sight of the familiar teen, his siblings, Trunks, and Piccolo. Before any words could leave her mouth, Videl dashed towards Gohan and wrapped her arms around his torso. He was surprised for a moment but then happily returned her hug.
Goten and Nayuta crashed into Fami, happily wrapping their aunt up in an affectionate tackle. The Famine Devil returned the favor by holding her nephew and niece close to her chest. Looks like her own dream, where they can all be together for once, can finally happen.
Trunks hugged his mother tightly, his own emotions bowling over. Bulma was crying too as she held her son in her arms. Relief and happiness swelled within them both to know that everything was finally over.
Piccolo just stood by Mr. Popo. Both were waiting for Dende to return to the Lookout, but they were pleased to see that each other were alright.
The afterlife was buzzing just as loudly as the world of the living at the news of Majin Buu's defeat. Lilith could hear the Devils below roaring proudly, exclaiming that their power was what tipped the scales in the favor of victory. Regardless, Lilith was proud of her brother and sister for pulling off a miraculous comeback at the end. And with the universe saved, there was one thing left for her to do.
"Oh, Yemma~!" Lilith gained the judge's attention.
"What now, Death? Can't you see we're celebrating?" Yemma said.
"First, call me Lilith. Secondly, you owe me now. Remember that it's thanks to my help as well that you're not neck deep in work checking out every single soul in the universe, right now." Lilith's annoying smile was irritating him.
The judge begrudgingly complied. "Fine. What is it that you want?"
"Two things, really. First, let me enter the world of the living whenever I want."
"WHAT?! AS IF-"
"Second." She ignored him. "Give me power over both realms of Hell."
"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN-"
"That's all I ask." She interrupted him again. "It's not like I'm planning to cause any trouble. I just want to see my family whenever I want. That's all."
"Then what's the point of the second one?"
"I'm bored?" She smirked. "Plus, I'll help you reign in Buu's soul, so that he can get reincarnated.
As much as Yemma wanted to outright refuse her request, he knew that he did owe her in a sense. Just like how he owed Son Goku for defeating Buu. The judge knew it was going to be a hassle getting Buu's chaotic soul under control long enough for the reincarnation to happen. Which meant Lilith would be a valuable asset in that regard. "Fine… I'll grant both of your requests."
"Thanks, Yemma!" She gave him a small kiss on the cheek. "See ya, boys!" Lilith waved to the employees before vanishing back to her castle.
Yemma just groaned into his hands. "That damn Devil. Can't even let me enjoy the preservation of the universe in peace."
Kibito Kai teleported the group back to the Supreme Kai's planet. Elder Kai observed all of the damage done to the planet and sighed. "You've sure ravaged this old world."
"I think it was worth it in the end, Elder." Kibito Kai said.
"You have a point." He relented.
"Goku! Everyone!" Dende, Asa, and Denji ran over to the exhausted fighters. Bee sprinted towards Hercule and Kobeni with happy barks.
"Hey there, boy!" Hercule picked up the puppy, who started to lick his face. Kobeni scratched behind his ears with a soft smile.
"Can you heal Vegeta first, Dende? He needs it." Goku was currently being smothered by his wife. "I'll be fine for now."
"Right!" Dende hurried to heal the prince.
"Lucky bastard." Denji muttered at Goku. He received an elbow from Asa. "Ow! What?!"
"They're married! Let them have their moment!" She hissed.
Yoru strolled up to her family. "You know…if someone had told me centuries ago that you'd end up saving the universe. I'd have killed them for wasting my time."
Makima smiled at her little sister. "And if someone had told me that you'd have a change of heart. I'd have ripped their will to live from their soul." Two of the Four Horsemen started laughing with each other. Asa was both creeped out by it and pleased to see Yoru's relationship with Makima improve.
Dende finished healing Vegeta, then hurried back over to heal up Goku. Makima moved to let Dende work his magic. She heard the sounds of Bee barking, noticing that they were getting further and further away. Makima looked over and gasped at who the dog had found.
Hercule and Kobeni were just as surprised, scolding themselves for forgetting. "Buu! He's still alive!"
"WHAT/WHAT?!" Everyone else screamed.
The group converged around Fat Buu, who was still unconscious. Both humans and the dog were worried sick for their friend. "Please! You have to heal him too!"
Vegeta scowled and raised his hand. "Oh, sure! He can heal all he wants down in Hell!"
"P-please don't do it! He's not that bad!" Kobeni showed her own bravery again.
"I have to agree with Captain Widow's Peak. That thing needs to die." Yoru said.
"What if he spawns out another evil version of himself?! Then it really will be the end of the universe!" Vegeta yelled. "Now step aside or I'll kill you three along with him!"
"Please! He only turned bad because a human killed this puppy here!" Hercule started to explain. "All of the bad things he did was because he didn't know any better! Buu isn't evil, please, trust me! I'll make sure something like this never happens again!"
"Get the hell out of my way!" Vegeta was about to fire until someone stepped in his way. He was surprised to see that the one defending Buu was Denji. "What the hell are you doing, brat?!"
"Denji?!" Asa gasped.
Denji stared down the prince bravely. "I think we should let him live."
"You have got to be kidding me…" Yoru groaned.
The hybrid touched his heart. "I know what it's like to have a friend who's somethin' that other people despise. He was a Devil, but he wasn't evil, and he was my best friend. I lost someone important to me and I don't want to see others suffer the same."
"Denji, you…" Asa felt her heart go out to him.
Vegeta was about to just push him out of the way until Goku got in his way next. "I think we should listen to them, Vegeta."
"Not you too!"
"This Buu and these guys helped us out a lot. If it weren't for them, then we definitely would've lost to the evil one." Goku's defense for Fat Buu earned grateful gasps from Kobeni and Hercule. "But just in case, we'll train super hard so that we won't be so desperate to win."
"However, I'm sure living on Earth will be difficult after all of the panic he's caused." Kibito Kai reminded them.
"Not to mention the fear he's caused." Makima crossed her arms. "We were lucky that people's fear of Cell didn't create another one, mostly due to his impact being far less than Buu's. However, everyone on Earth suffered directly from Buu's power in such a short span of time. A Devil version of him could be born in due time, and who knows how powerful that thing could be."
The realization of Makima's words did bring a sense of worry to the group. They had completely forgotten that the human race's fear of Majin Buu could very easily create something horrifying.
Goku still wasn't worried. "Don't worry, we can just use the Dragon Balls to erase Majin Buu from people's memories. That way he can live peacefully on Earth without worry. It'll also prevent a Devil from being born, since nobody can fear something that they don't remember."
"It'll take too long. I'll do my best to keep people's memories suppressed until the Dragon Balls can be used to permanently erase their memories." Makima said.
"Perfect!" Goku giggled.
"Well, isn't this one a lovely happy ending." Yoru huffed.
Elder Kai shook his head. "Oh dear. Misusing the Dragon Balls yet again."
Kobeni and Hercule were bowing their heads at the married couple's feet. "Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Bee licked Denji's hand as a show of appreciation. "Hehe! No problem, little guy."
Vegeta shook his head. "Idiots! Don't say I didn't warn you!"
"Stubborn one, isn't he?" Asa sighed.
"Alright, everyone! Let's heal him and head back to Earth! I'm starving!" Goku laughed.
Kibito Kai transported Goku and friends back to the Lookout. The fused God bid them farewell with thanks for all of their efforts. Goku, Dende, and Asa gave him waves of goodbye as he left back to his home planet. As they listened to the sounds of everyone chattering, the saviors of the universe stepped out to greet their family and friends.
The effect was immediate.
Gohan, Goten, and Nayuta dashed towards their parents without missing a beat. The twins tackled their mother, knocking her onto the floor. The last time they had seen her face-to-face was such a brutal moment. All of the emotions they had kept buried during the battles with Buu were finally pouring back out in loud sobs.
Makima held her youngest children with all of the love she could give. She couldn't care less for their tears and snot staining her already ruined clothes. She was home, she was alive, and her babies were safe now too. "I'm sorry for scaring you both like that. It'll be okay, we'll never be torn apart like that ever again. Goten. Nayuta." They tearfully looked up at her. Makima's radiant smile reminded them of the sun. "I love you two. I love you so much you can't even imagine it."
The twins were frozen stiff after hearing those sweet little words their mother had never spoken before. Words they didn't think they needed to hear as they've always known. But that didn't mean hearing them meant anything less. "We love you too, Mama/Mommy!"
Gohan embraced his father in a tight hug before repeating the action with his mother, who still held the twins in her arms.
Vegeta stood away from the group with his back turned. He felt a small pair of hands grab his bigger one and looked down to see Trunks smiling at him. The prince smirked and ruffled his son's hair affectionately. Vegeta could see Bulma standing close, and she gave him a thumbs up with approval.
Piccolo and Mr. Popo welcomed Dende back. The attendant hugged the young guardian, pleased to see he hadn't lost his life.
Denji found himself getting tackled by Power. He was about to yell at her until he noticed the tears in her eyes. After that, Denji pulled the fiend into a hug. "I missed you too, Power."
"Don't ever scare me like that again, stupid…!" Power sniffled into his shoulder.
Aki knelt down to ruffle the hybrid's hair. "You managed to survive all of that. You did good, Denji. Thank you for living." He was pulled into the hug seconds after. As much as they pissed him off at times, Aki wouldn't trade these two for the world. He had lost one family, so he was happy that he still had this one.
Asa watched the heartwarming reunions with a bit of awkwardness. She didn't really have a family herself to reunite with, after all. That was until she felt someone lightly punch her shoulder. Asa turned to see Videl giving her a loving smile. "Videl!"
"C'mon, Asa!" The champion's daughter opened her arms. Asa entered her embrace quickly, wrapping her arms around her friend. The two cried a bit, thankful that they were still alive to see another day.
Yoru looked over at Fami. "What? Are you expecting a hug from me?"
Fami just placed her hand on Yoru's head, softly ruffling her hair. "Good job, little sister." Yoru blushed like a tomato and shifted away from Fami.
Asa looked up to see Hercule walking out from the bushes as well. "Hey, Videl. I think there's someone else who wants to greet you."
Videl turned around and gasped at the sight of her father. That relieved feeling from before was about to erupt from her chest until something large and pink walked out behind him. It was Buu, with Kobeni and Bee trying to hold him back. The intent was to wait for things to settle down before explaining his situation, but the Majin got bored. Videl screamed in fear, alerting everyone else of Buu's presence.
The kids all looked ready to kill the tubby pink lard for everything he's done. That was until Goku got in the way and started explaining everything to the group. They managed to settle down after listening, but their guards were still up around Buu.
Hercule wrapped his daughter up in a hug, crying tears of joy. "Videl! Oh, my sweet baby, you're alive!"
"D-dad…! You're embarrassing me!" Videl giggled, lightly pushing against her father. Hercule released her to greet the newest additions to their family.
"Videl, I want you to meet Kobeni and Bee. Bee will be staying with us alongside Buu." Hercule explained.
She picked up the puppy, and he started licking her face. "Well, he's certainly a cute little guy." Videl looked over at Kobeni. "What about you? You were helping out my Father and the others, right? Do you have any family to go to?"
Kobeni furrowed her brows as she thought of her family. They were probably alive again and were probably waiting for her to continue selling away her soul to support them. Even after everything, she may truly never get her own happy ending.
"Oh, Kobeni?" The cowardly hunter turned to see Makima walking over to them. Goten was perched upon her back for a piggyback ride.
"Mrs. Makima? Did I do something?" Kobeni asked.
"Not at all. I just came to inform you that you are hereby fired." Makima said with a smile.
…
"EHHHHHH?!" Kobeni screeched. The Satans covered their ears, with Videl surprised at how loud this woman could be. "W-why am I fired?! Didn't I just help save the universe?!"
"You started working for the Public Safety Commission because of your family, right? There'll be no need for that since your parents didn't return to life. I checked a few moments ago while suppressing the Earthlings' memories." Makima explained. "Therefore, you no longer have any reason to work for us." She turned away with a wave, her son waving at them all the same. "Have a happy life, Kobeni."
Kobeni stood there as if her body was just turned to stone. Her parents were still dead? The two people who didn't give any shit about her whatsoever. The ones who forced her to throw away her own future for the sake of her brother, who was barely even able to meet their own expectations. She didn't have to fight Devils anymore, she didn't have to slave away in jobs she hated, and she no longer had to worry about her abusive parents. For the first time since before she could even remember Kobeni felt free.
She would need somewhere to live. She would also have to find her little brother to make sure he was okay, while also finding a job to support them, and his schooling as well. That's going to be difficult.
"I'm free…but what am I going to do now?" Kobeni wondered.
"I think that's simple!" Hercule placed a hand on her shoulder. "You can come stay with us. You considered us family, right?"
Happiness. This was truly an unfamiliar feeling to Kobeni, but she loved it so much. She hopes that she'd never have to let go of this feeling ever. "C-can my little brother stay with us too?! Without my parents, he'll be all on his own!"
"Of course! It's fine, right, Videl? Buu?" Hercule turned to them.
"Beni stays with Buu!" Buu exclaimed, satisfied regardless. "We're family!"
Though she was still uncertain about Buu, Videl had no qualms with it. "Sure. I always wanted a sister when I was little. Though, I guess you'd be a big sister." Bee barked with acceptance as well. Kobeni started crying once again, feeling like her life was truly starting for the first time ever.
Once everything had settled down, Goku faced everyone in their very large group. He had Makima pulled close into him, since she didn't want to leave his side at the moment. "Sorry that I've been gone for so long, guys. But Elder Kai granted me a new life, so I'm not dead anymore. Looks like everything can finally start getting back to normal, huh?"
"Oh, Goku. It's good to have you back." Bulma smiled.
Nayuta raised her hands. "Now it's time to celebrate now that Papa is back!"
"She's not wrong. It'd be pretty bad for us to not celebrate after everything that's happened." Yamcha agreed.
Makima hummed. "In that case. We'll host a party. Bulma?"
The CEO was already calling her staff. "I'll let the staff know to have things set up by the time we all get there. Goku's return party is gonna be filled to the brim with all you can eat!"
Fami shot off like a meteor at the mention of all you can eat. The shock only lasted for a moment before the other gluttons realized that it had turned into a race. "NO FAIR, AUNTIE FAMI! YOU CAN'T EAT IT ALL!" Nayuta and Goten chased after their aunt to stop her.
Vegeta huffed with a glare. "That damn woman isn't allowed to eat before me! Trunks, let's move it!" The prince grabbed his wife and took to the skies. Trunks followed his parents, also not wanting to be left out of eating.
"Oh brother…" Gohan muttered. Though his stomach did start growling, earning some snickers from his friends. "Well, I better not lose out on this race." He looked back at Videl. "You coming?"
"Go ahead. I'll catch up." Videl said.
With that said, Gohan took off at top speed to not be left in the dust. Everyone else on the Lookout started laughing at the gluttons as they got farther away. Soon enough they also took to the skies to partake in the upcoming festivities.
Goku and Makima watched everyone fly off towards Capsule Corp with fond smiles. The Control Devil looked back at her husband. He was back. After seven long years she can enjoy the company of the man she loves the most once again. Her heart that had been tearing itself apart these last seven years was finally whole. It was perfect. Everything was perfect.
Their perfect ending.
Makima held his hand tightly. "Welcome home, darling."
Goku's radiant smile erased all of the darkness in her world. "It's good to be home, Makima."
Husband and wife flew off into the skies. Reunited at long last.
Though the world can be filled with darkness at times. As long as there is one speck of light within it, then something beautiful will always manage to shine through.
THE END

But even when all seems well, there are still mysteries yet to be seen in the ever-vast universe. When Goku finds himself turned into a child suddenly, he and his friends must prepare for another weird adventure.
