[CAPSULE CORP GARDEN – AFTERNOON]

The sun is high, and the Capsule Corp garden is bathed in warm, golden light. Birds chirp in the trees, and a soft breeze rustles through the leaves. In the middle of the garden, a large picnic blanket is spread out with various dishes piled high. Plates of steaming rice, grilled meat, fresh vegetables, and bowls of steaming dumplings are laid out, an impressive spread by any standard.

Goku is already digging in with his usual enthusiasm, shoveling food into his mouth with incredible speed. Across from him, Wanda sits more reservedly, watching him with a mixture of amusement and disbelief.

WANDA (smirking): "You're really going to eat all that, aren't you?"

GOKU (grinning with his mouth full): "Absolutely! Training makes me hungry! You should eat up too, Wanda. You need your strength!"

[Wanda chuckles and picks up a pair of chopsticks, selecting a piece of grilled meat and taking a bite. She chews thoughtfully, savoring the flavor.]

WANDA: "This is really good. Bulma always makes sure there's plenty of food, doesn't she?"

GOKU (nodding vigorously): "Oh yeah, she's the best when it comes to feeding hungry fighters. Vegeta and I can clear out an entire fridge in one sitting if we're not careful!"

[Wanda laughs, feeling more relaxed than she has in a long time. She takes another bite, enjoying the moment.]

WANDA: "It's strange… I can't remember the last time I sat down and enjoyed a meal like this. In my world, there was always another battle, another crisis. I never felt like I had time to just… be."

[Goku pauses for a moment, looking at her thoughtfully.]

GOKU: "I get that. I've spent most of my life training, fighting, and pushing myself to get stronger. But I've learned that these quiet moments—the times we spend with friends, with family—they're just as important as the battles we fight."

[Wanda smiles, feeling warmth spread through her chest.]

WANDA: "You're right. It's easy to forget that in the middle of all the chaos."

[There's a comfortable silence as they continue eating. After a while, Goku glances at her, curiosity shining in his eyes.]

GOKU: "So, tell me more about your world, Wanda. What were the battles like there?"

[Wanda takes a deep breath, thinking back on her experiences.]

WANDA: "There were so many. I fought against Ultron, a machine who wanted to wipe out humanity. Then there was Thanos, a tyrant who wanted to rewrite the universe by erasing half of all life. Every time, we fought with everything we had, but… it always felt like we were just one step away from losing everything."

[Goku nods, understanding the weight of her words.]

GOKU: "Sounds like you've been through a lot. But you didn't give up, did you?"

WANDA (shaking her head): "No. Even when things seemed hopeless, we kept fighting. We had to. But after losing so much… I lost myself along the way."

GOKU (softly): "And now you're trying to find your way back."

[Wanda looks up, meeting his gaze, and for the first time, she feels like someone truly understands.]

WANDA: "Yes. That's exactly it."

[Goku grins, his eyes shining with that infectious optimism.]

GOKU: "Well, you're doing great so far! And you're not alone anymore. We're all here to help you, no matter what."

[Wanda feels a lump form in her throat, and she quickly looks down, trying to hide the emotion in her eyes.]

WANDA (smiling): "Thank you, Goku. That means more to me than you know."

[They continue eating, and Goku suddenly perks up, his eyes lighting up with excitement.]

GOKU: "Oh, I almost forgot! There's something I wanted to show you!"

[He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small, round fruit, offering it to Wanda. It's a Senzu Bean.]

WANDA (curious): "What is it?"

GOKU: "It's a Senzu Bean! These things are amazing! They can heal you up and restore all your energy in just a few seconds. I thought you might want to try one."

[Wanda takes the Senzu Bean, examining it with interest.]

WANDA: "You mean… this tiny thing can restore my energy?"

GOKU (nodding enthusiastically): "Yep! Just one of these saved me and my friends more times than I can count."

[Wanda smiles, feeling the weight of Goku's generosity.]

WANDA: "Thank you, Goku. I'll keep it safe."

[Goku waves his hand dismissively, as if it's no big deal.]

GOKU: "No problem! We're friends now, right? Friends help each other out."

[Wanda's smile widens, and for the first time in a long while, she feels a genuine sense of belonging.]

WANDA: "Yes, we are."

[They continue their meal, chatting and laughing about everything from training to Goku's adventures. For Wanda, it's a moment of peace, a reminder that even in a world of battles and challenges, there's still room for friendship and joy.]

[As they finish their lunch, Goku stretches and stands up, offering Wanda his hand.]

GOKU: "Come on, Wanda. Let's get back to training! I want to see how much stronger you've gotten!"

[Wanda takes his hand, feeling a surge of excitement and determination.]

WANDA (smirking): "You're not going to hold back this time, right?"

GOKU (laughing): "You bet! Let's see what you've got!"

[The two of them walk off together, ready for whatever challenges lie ahead. And for the first time, Wanda feels like she's truly part of something greater than herself.]

[FRIEZA'S SHIP – CONTROL ROOM]

The control room of Frieza's spaceship is dimly lit, the eerie glow of the stars shining through the massive viewport. The room is bustling with activity as soldiers and technicians work at their stations, monitoring various screens and readings. At the center of it all stands Frieza, staring out into the vastness of space, his arms folded behind his back, a cold and calculating expression on his face.

Suddenly, one of the technicians, a small alien with green skin, frantically types on his console, his eyes widening in shock as he reads the latest data.

TECHNICIAN (panicking): "L-Lord Frieza! You'll want to see this!"

[Frieza turns slowly, his tail flicking behind him, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth.]

FRIEZA (calm, yet menacing): "It had better be important. You know how I despise interruptions."

[The technician swallows hard, trembling under Frieza's gaze, and quickly pulls up a screen showing a faint but powerful energy signature coming from Earth.]

TECHNICIAN: "We've detected a new presence on Earth, my lord. One with an energy level unlike anything we've seen before. It's… it's almost as if reality itself is bending around it!"

[Frieza's eyes narrow, and he steps closer to the screen, examining the data with growing interest.]

FRIEZA (softly, intrigued): "Interesting. And who, exactly, is this little anomaly?"

[The technician presses a few buttons, and a holographic image of Wanda Maximoff appears, surrounded by a faint crimson aura, her eyes glowing with power.]

TECHNICIAN: "We don't have much information, but it appears she's not from this universe. Her abilities are… well, they're unlike anything we've encountered. She's been spotted training with the Saiyans, and her power is growing rapidly."

[Frieza's smirk widens into a full, sinister grin, his eyes gleaming with malice.]

FRIEZA: "So, another outsider has decided to grace my universe with her presence. And training with those miserable Saiyans, no less. How utterly fascinating."

[He turns away from the screen, pacing slowly, his mind already working out the possibilities.]

FRIEZA: "Tell me, how does her power compare to Goku and Vegeta?"

[The technician hesitates, looking nervous.]

TECHNICIAN: "It's difficult to say, my lord. Her power is… different. It's not just strength. It's as if she can manipulate reality itself, bend it to her will."

[Frieza stops, his expression growing more serious.]

FRIEZA (softly, to himself): "Manipulate reality…? Such power could be quite useful."

[He turns back to the technician, his smile returning.]

FRIEZA: "Prepare my ship. We're going to Earth. I'd like to meet this Wanda Maximoff personally."

[The technician nods frantically, scurrying away to relay the orders, while Frieza stands there, lost in thought.]

FRIEZA (to himself, chuckling): "Perhaps this little witch will prove to be an ally… or perhaps she'll be yet another plaything to crush under my heel. Either way, this will be most entertaining."

[He glances out the viewport once more, his eyes narrowing.]

FRIEZA: "Goku, Vegeta, and now you, Wanda… it seems Earth has become quite the hub of power lately. It's time I reminded them who truly rules this universe."

[The camera zooms out, showing Frieza's massive ship accelerating through space, its engines glowing brightly as it heads toward Earth. The sound of his chilling laughter echoes through the control room, a harbinger of the chaos and destruction that's about to come.]

[CAPSULE CORP – TRAINING GROUNDS – DAY]

Wanda stands on the training grounds behind Capsule Corp, her eyes closed as she practices focusing her energy. The air around her shimmers with a faint crimson glow as she concentrates, trying to channel her powers more precisely. In the distance, Goku and Vegeta are sparring, their auras clashing with bursts of light and power.

Suddenly, Wanda's eyes snap open, and she gasps, staggering back. A chilling sensation runs through her body, and she feels a familiar, oppressive energy reaching out across the cosmos. It's dark, sinister, and filled with malice. She stumbles, catching herself on a nearby railing, her heart racing.

WANDA (whispering, horrified): "No… it can't be."

[Goku and Vegeta immediately stop their sparring, sensing Wanda's distress. They rush over, concern etched on their faces.]

GOKU: "Wanda! Are you okay? What's wrong?"

WANDA (breathing heavily): "I… I felt something. Someone. It's like a cold shadow reached out from the stars and touched my mind."

VEGETA (frowning, arms crossed): "You felt a presence from space? What kind of power are we talking about here?"

[Wanda takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself. She looks up at them, her expression serious.]

WANDA: "It's someone incredibly powerful, with an aura that's filled with hatred and cruelty. I've felt evil before, but this… this is different. It's focused, calculating. It feels like… death."

[Before Goku can respond, Piccolo and Gohan land beside them, having sensed Wanda's alarm from afar.]

PICCOLO: "I felt it too. That energy—it's like nothing we've ever encountered."

[Gohan nods, his expression grim.]

GOHAN: "Do you know who it is, Wanda?"

[Wanda shakes her head, but deep down, she feels an unsettling certainty.]

WANDA: "I don't know his name, but he's coming. And he's coming for us."

[As if on cue, Bulma rushes out of Capsule Corp, clutching a tablet with a worried expression.]

BULMA: "You guys need to see this!"

[She holds up the tablet, displaying live footage of a massive spaceship approaching Earth. It's sleek and ominous, with glowing purple markings, and it's moving at an alarming speed.]

BULMA: "This thing appeared out of nowhere and is heading straight for us. Whoever's onboard is powerful—our sensors are picking up energy readings off the charts!"

[Vegeta's eyes widen, and a look of recognition crosses his face.]

VEGETA (gritting his teeth): "Frieza."

[Goku's expression turns serious, his usual carefree demeanor replaced by grim determination.]

GOKU: "I should have known he'd come back."

[Wanda turns to them, confused but alarmed by the change in their demeanor.]

WANDA: "Who is Frieza?"

VEGETA (growling): "He's one of the most dangerous beings in the universe. We've fought him before, but he's survived every time. If he's coming here, it means he's after something—or someone."

[Wanda's eyes narrow as she connects the dots.]

WANDA: "He felt my power… that's why he's coming."

[Goku steps forward, placing a reassuring hand on Wanda's shoulder.]

GOKU: "If Frieza's after you, then we won't let him get anywhere near you. We'll stop him, together."

[Vegeta steps up beside Goku, his aura flaring with determination.]

VEGETA: "I owe him a beating anyway. If he thinks he can come here and threaten us again, he's in for a rude awakening."

[Piccolo, Gohan, and the rest of the Z Fighters gather around, each of them prepared for the coming battle.]

GOHAN: "We've faced him before, Wanda. And we'll face him again. This time, he won't have a chance."

[Wanda looks around at the group, seeing the unwavering resolve in their eyes. For the first time, she feels truly protected, truly part of something larger than herself. She clenches her fists, her own aura flickering with renewed strength.]

WANDA: "I won't let him use my power against this world. If Frieza wants a fight, then he'll get one."

[The wind picks up, and the camera pulls back, showing the Z Fighters standing together, united and ready for battle as Frieza's ship draws closer to Earth.]

[EARTH – DESERTED ROCKY VALLEY – AFTERNOON]

The sky darkens as Frieza's massive spaceship descends, casting a shadow over the barren landscape. The wind whips through the valley, kicking up dust and pebbles as the ship lands with a heavy thud. A ramp extends, and a stream of Frieza's soldiers march out, weapons ready, forming ranks with military precision.

Finally, Frieza emerges, floating down the ramp with absolute arrogance, his tail swishing lazily behind him. He surveys the area with a smug grin, his eyes gleaming with malice.

FRIEZA (calmly, to himself): "How quaint. It's been far too long since I've paid this planet a visit."

[Suddenly, a burst of energy signals the arrival of the Z Fighters. Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan, Wanda, and the others land just a short distance from Frieza, facing him down. Goku steps forward, his aura flaring slightly, his expression serious.]

GOKU: "Frieza. I knew you'd show up sooner or later."

[Frieza's eyes narrow, and a cold smile spreads across his face.]

FRIEZA: "Ah, Goku, always so predictable. And Vegeta, my old friend. I see you've both grown since our last encounter."

VEGETA (scowling): "I'm not your friend, Frieza. And this time, I'm going to make sure you stay down."

[Frieza chuckles, but then his gaze shifts, landing on Wanda. He takes a step forward, studying her with an unnerving intensity.]

FRIEZA: "And you must be the famous Scarlet Witch I've heard so much about. You've made quite an impression, my dear."

[Wanda meets his gaze, unflinching, her crimson aura flickering around her. The ground beneath her trembles slightly as she fights to keep her emotions in check.]

WANDA: "I know what you're here for, Frieza. But I won't let you take it from me."

[Frieza raises an eyebrow, clearly amused.]

FRIEZA: "Such confidence. But you misunderstand, Wanda. I'm not here to take your power—I'm here to offer you a choice. Join me, and together, we could reshape the universe itself. There's no need for you to waste your talents on these… lesser beings."

[Goku steps in front of Wanda, his aura blazing with intensity.]

GOKU: "You're not getting anywhere near her, Frieza. If you want her, you'll have to go through us first."

[Vegeta cracks his knuckles, his aura flaring up alongside Goku's.]

VEGETA: "And this time, you won't be walking away."

[Frieza's smile fades, replaced by an expression of cold fury.]

FRIEZA: "So be it. It seems you've forgotten your place, Monkeys. Allow me to remind you."

[With a flick of his wrist, Frieza sends a wave of energy toward the Z Fighters. Goku and Vegeta brace themselves, effortlessly deflecting the blast, while Piccolo, Gohan, and Wanda spring into action. The battle erupts in an instant, with energy blasts lighting up the sky and shockwaves shaking the ground.]

GOKU (calling out): "Wanda, stay back! We'll handle him!"

[But Wanda doesn't retreat. Instead, she steps forward, her eyes glowing red as she draws on her power. She clenches her fists, her aura flaring brighter, and her voice is filled with determination.]

WANDA: "No. I'm not running from this. Not anymore."

[She extends her hands, and the air around Frieza warps and distorts as Wanda's magic begins to take hold. For a moment, Frieza is thrown off balance, his body flickering in and out of existence as Wanda tries to trap him in a reality warp.]

FRIEZA (snarling, fighting against her power): "Impressive, but futile!"

[With a burst of energy, Frieza breaks free, charging toward Wanda with terrifying speed. Just before he reaches her, Goku intercepts, blocking Frieza's strike with his forearm.]

GOKU (grinning): "You'll have to do better than that, Frieza!"

[Vegeta appears on Frieza's other side, landing a powerful punch that sends him skidding backward.]

VEGETA: "This time, you're not the strongest one here."

[Frieza straightens, his eyes flashing with fury, but before he can react, Wanda raises her hands, and the ground beneath him erupts in a burst of crimson energy. He's thrown into the air, but quickly recovers, glaring down at her.]

FRIEZA (seething): "You'll regret defying me, witch."

[Wanda's eyes narrow, and she raises her hands, creating a dozen glowing energy constructs in the shape of swords, all aimed at Frieza.]

WANDA: "No, Frieza. I'm done living in fear."

[She launches the swords at him, and Frieza dodges with incredible speed, but one of the swords grazes his arm, drawing a thin line of blood. He stares at the wound in disbelief, then looks back at Wanda, his expression twisted with rage.]

FRIEZA (furious): "How dare you!"

[He powers up, his aura exploding outward, shaking the entire valley. Goku and Vegeta leap forward, ready to engage, but Frieza waves his hand, creating a massive shockwave that forces them back.]

PICCOLO (shouting to Wanda): "Stay focused, Wanda! Don't let him intimidate you!"

[Wanda nods, steeling herself. She takes a deep breath, and the energy around her intensifies, crackling with raw power. She steps forward, facing Frieza head-on.]

WANDA: "You're not the first monster I've faced, Frieza. And you won't be the last."

[The two powers clash, Frieza's malevolent energy meeting Wanda's chaotic magic in a dazzling display of light and power. The Z Fighters rally around her, ready to fight alongside her, and for the first time, Wanda feels the full weight of her strength. But this time, it's not out of fear or desperation—it's out of a desire to protect.]

[Frieza snarls, his eyes flickering with hatred as he charges at Wanda once more. But this time, she doesn't flinch. She stands her ground, her energy blazing around her, ready to face whatever comes next.]

[DESERTED ROCKY VALLEY – AFTERNOON]

The fierce battle rages on, with the Z Fighters pushing themselves to their limits against Frieza, who has unleashed his full power. The ground trembles beneath their feet, and the sky crackles with energy as beams and shockwaves collide. Goku and Vegeta, both in their highest forms, engage Frieza in a brutal back-and-forth exchange, but it's clear that even together, they're struggling to keep him at bay.

Frieza smirks as he deflects a barrage of energy blasts from Vegeta, landing a devastating punch that sends the Saiyan prince crashing into the mountainside. He turns to Goku, grabbing him by the arm and flinging him to the ground with overwhelming force. Goku groans, struggling to rise, but Frieza's aura flares as he prepares to finish him off.

FRIEZA (laughing maniacally): "Is this really all you have? I expected more from you, Goku! How disappointing!"

[Frieza raises his hand, a massive ball of energy forming above his palm, ready to vaporize Goku.]

WANDA (yelling, her voice filled with power): "Enough!"

[In an instant, Wanda's crimson energy surrounds Frieza, and he's frozen mid-attack. His eyes widen in shock as he's lifted off the ground, his entire body engulfed in a red, shimmering aura. The Z Fighters stop, stunned, as they watch Wanda step forward, her aura blazing around her like a fiery inferno.]

FRIEZA (struggling, his voice strained): "What… what is this?! What are you doing to me?!"

[Wanda's eyes glow a deep, menacing red, her expression calm but resolute. There is no hesitation, no fear—only determination.]

WANDA (coldly): "You came here to destroy, to take what doesn't belong to you. You've caused enough suffering, enough pain. It ends now."

[Frieza snarls, his pride refusing to believe that this mere woman could be a threat to him.]

FRIEZA (desperately, trying to break free): "You… you think you can defeat me?! I am Frieza! I am eternal!"

WANDA: "Not anymore."

[She extends her hand, and the crimson aura around Frieza begins to pulse. The air grows still, and the ground stops trembling. For a moment, it's as if time itself holds its breath. Wanda's energy intensifies, and the red light enveloping Frieza grows brighter, hotter, until it's blinding.]

WANDA: "No more destruction. No more death. I'm taking you out of this world."

[She clenches her fist, and Frieza's body starts to disintegrate, bit by bit, dissolving into glowing particles. He thrashes, trying to resist, but it's futile. His screams echo across the valley, filled with rage, terror, and disbelief.]

FRIEZA (screaming, his voice fading): "No! This can't be happening! I can't—"

[And then, silence. In an instant, Frieza is gone, erased from existence, leaving nothing behind but a faint shimmer of red energy that quickly dissipates into the air.]

[The Z Fighters stand there, stunned, unable to comprehend what they've just witnessed. Goku and Vegeta slowly rise to their feet, staring at the spot where Frieza had been moments ago.]

VEGETA (softly, disbelief in his voice): "She… she did it. She actually erased him."

[Goku looks at Wanda, his expression a mix of awe and concern.]

GOKU: "Wanda… are you okay?"

[Wanda's aura fades, and she lowers her hand, her breathing heavy but steady. She nods, though there's a hint of sadness in her eyes.]

WANDA (softly): "I didn't want to do it. But I couldn't let him keep hurting people."

[Piccolo steps forward, placing a hand on her shoulder.]

PICCOLO: "You did what had to be done. Sometimes, the hardest choices are the ones that make the biggest difference."

[Wanda nods, but she looks down, her voice barely a whisper.]

WANDA: "I just… I don't want to become like him."

GOKU (smiling reassuringly): "You won't. You're not like him, Wanda. You made a choice to protect, not to destroy. That's what makes you different."

[Vegeta, though still shocked, gives her a respectful nod.]

VEGETA: "You've proven yourself today, Wanda. You've earned your place among us."

[The group gathers around her, their auras fading as the adrenaline of battle subsides. Wanda looks up at them, and for the first time, she feels a sense of peace wash over her. She's finally in control, not just of her powers, but of her destiny.]

WANDA (smiling, her voice strong): "Thank you. All of you."

[As they stand together, the sun begins to set, casting a warm, golden light over the valley. The darkness that had loomed over them has been vanquished, and for the first time, they all feel a sense of hope for the future.]

[SACRED WORLD OF THE KAIS – DAY]

The Sacred World of the Kais is calm, the cherry blossoms gently falling in the wind. Yet the atmosphere is tense, as if the entire realm is holding its breath. Supreme Kai and Kibito stand at the edge of a cliff, their eyes fixed on an orb that shows the aftermath of the battle on Earth. Wanda stands with the Z Fighters, and the last remnants of Frieza's energy vanish from existence.

KIBITO (astonished): "She… she truly erased him. It wasn't just a defeat—it was complete annihilation."

[Supreme Kai nods, his expression a mix of awe and concern.]

SUPREME KAI: "Yes, and that kind of power is beyond even what the gods of this universe can fully comprehend. Not even I possess the ability to erase a being so entirely."

[Before Kibito can respond, a sudden shift in the air signals the arrival of Beerus and Whis. The God of Destruction lands gracefully, his expression dark and unreadable.]

BEERUS (coldly): "So, the little witch finally showed her true colors."

[Supreme Kai turns to face Beerus, bowing slightly.]

SUPREME KAI: "Lord Beerus, you saw what happened?"

BEERUS (nodding, voice tinged with irritation): "I did. And I must say, I'm not entirely pleased. That kind of power… it's far too dangerous to be left unchecked."

[Supreme Kai looks down at the orb, which now shows Wanda standing amidst the Z Fighters, visibly shaken but still standing strong.]

SUPREME KAI: "But she did it to protect them, Lord Beerus. She stopped Frieza before he could cause more harm. Perhaps this was the only way."

BEERUS (his eyes narrowing): "You say that as if you believe she'll always use that power for good. What happens when she faces someone she can't beat? Or when her emotions get the better of her? What happens when she decides that erasing someone is the easiest solution?"

[Whis steps forward, tapping his staff lightly on the ground, and the orb shifts to show Wanda looking down at her hands, a look of sadness and uncertainty on her face.]

WHIS: "It's true, she's shown she can wield immense power, but it's also clear she understands the weight of her actions. Look at her. She's not celebrating this victory—she's contemplating it."

[Beerus's expression softens, but only slightly.]

BEERUS: "She's dangerous, Whis. One slip, one moment of weakness, and she could tear this universe apart just as easily as she erased Frieza."

[Supreme Kai steps forward, gathering his courage.]

SUPREME KAI: "But isn't that the same risk we took with Goku and Vegeta, Lord Beerus? They, too, possess the power to destroy worlds, to tip the balance of the universe if they ever chose to. Yet, we allowed them to grow, to find their own path. And look at what they've become—protectors, not destroyers."

[Beerus clenches his jaw, clearly frustrated but unable to dismiss the truth in Supreme Kai's words. He turns away, his eyes narrowing as he looks out over the endless sky of the Sacred World of the Kais.]

BEERUS (muttering): "Perhaps. But there's a difference. Goku and Vegeta are bound by their pride, by their desire to fight stronger opponents. This woman… Wanda, she is driven by something else entirely. Something far more unpredictable."

WHIS (softly, watching Wanda through the orb): "She's driven by pain. But also by a deep longing to protect. That's what makes her dangerous, yes, but it's also what makes her human. It's the very thing that could lead her to greatness or to her own destruction."

[Beerus spins around, glaring at Whis.]

BEERUS: "And are you suggesting we simply wait and see which path she takes? Shall we just sit idly by and hope she doesn't decide one day to erase this entire universe in a moment of despair?"

WHIS (smiling calmly): "Not quite, my lord. But perhaps, instead of condemning her for what she might become, we could guide her, just as you have done with Goku and Vegeta. She's found something on Earth that she didn't have in her own universe—hope, friends, and a sense of belonging. That may be the key to ensuring she never loses herself again."

[Beerus looks back at the orb, watching as Wanda is embraced by the Z Fighters, Goku resting a reassuring hand on her shoulder. He takes a deep breath, and his shoulders relax ever so slightly.]

BEERUS: "Hope. That's a fickle thing to rely on."

SUPREME KAI: "But it's often hope that has saved this universe, time and time again."

[Beerus doesn't respond immediately. Instead, he watches as Wanda's face shifts from fear to a hesitant smile as Goku speaks to her, no doubt offering some words of encouragement that only he could deliver with such sincerity.]

BEERUS (softly, almost to himself): "If she ever does lose control… I will end her without hesitation."

SUPREME KAI (nodding solemnly): "We understand. But I believe she'll prove to be more than just a weapon of chaos. I believe she can find her place, just as the others have."

[Beerus lets out a tired sigh, rubbing his forehead as if dealing with an insistent headache.]

BEERUS: "Very well. But make no mistake, Supreme Kai—if she steps out of line, if she ever threatens the balance of this universe, I will erase her, and this time, not even Goku will be able to stop me."

[Whis's smile softens, and he looks back at the image of Wanda with an almost fatherly expression.]

WHIS: "You may find, Lord Beerus, that the greatest power isn't in the ability to destroy… but in the ability to change."

[Beerus gives Whis a sidelong glance, then huffs in annoyance.]

BEERUS: "You always have to have the last word, don't you?"

WHIS (grinning): "Of course, my lord. It's one of my many talents."

[Beerus shakes his head, but a faint smile tugs at the corners of his mouth. He turns to Supreme Kai one last time.]

BEERUS: "Keep an eye on her. Make sure she stays on the path she's chosen. I've already got enough to worry about without another reality-bending threat looming over my head."

[Supreme Kai bows deeply.]

SUPREME KAI: "You have my word, Lord Beerus."

[With a final wave of his hand, Beerus turns and begins to float away, Whis following close behind. As they disappear into the sky, Supreme Kai and Kibito watch the orb one last time, seeing Wanda standing alongside the Z Fighters, looking out toward the horizon with a sense of resolve.]

KIBITO (quietly): "Do you really believe she can change, Supreme Kai?"

SUPREME KAI (softly, but with conviction): "Yes, I do. Because in the end, it's not our power that defines us, but the choices we make. And I believe Wanda has chosen to become something more than the darkness that once consumed her."

[The scene fades as Supreme Kai and Kibito turn away, leaving the image of Wanda behind, glowing with the light of a new beginning.]

TO BE CONTINUED…
