This series came to an end! Atleast with Season One! After this specific episode a short will be out, then Season Two will begin it's production. Season Two will however be in development until Mid February if I plan correctly, the post credit scene (Featuring Azzy and someone you'd probably guessed in the past) was finished before this episode was even conceived as with other episodes. It was made around A Bakers Dozen and the video was also made too. I want to thank pastel-kaleesh and esotericdivinity for their support. There's not much about the Season Two as it's titles are in dev, but look forward to it. This entire episode was in the works for Three Months.
It's a day before the exterminations and many of the HFIL Residents were around the table. Orion was currently drinking with her friends. She was happy to spend her last days with her friends. Cell had her on his lap, as she was giggling and joking with her friends.
"So, Cell and you, hm?" Zarbon asked. Waggling his eyebrows.
"Yeah, it's crazy." Orion laughs.
"It's crazy, I never thought the two of you would get together." Zarbon smirks, flipping back his hair.
"Clearly." Ginyu said, downing his 4th glass of the night, Cell smirks.
"You're just upset I swooped her before you could reclaim her." Cell states, and Ginyu rolled his eyes. Dore pours more alcohol for Ginyu.
Zarbon snickers at the two's banter, and turns his attention back to Orion. "So, what's Cell like?"
The question was phrased as innocent. "What does that mean-" Orion began seeing what Zarbon was talking about and her face flushed.
"ZARBON!" She gasps, slapping his arm playfully, Zarbon laughs and shakes his head.
"What? Am I wrong~?" He asked, a little too invested. Orion rolled her eyes.
"Still, that was very crass of you to ask!" Orion Chides. Zarbon lets out a sad hum, albeit a little joking.
"Zarbon, why are you asking if my girlfriend has done anything with me? Isn't that inappropriate?" Cell asked, a little on the jealous side. Zarbon huffs and waves his arm dismissively.
"Oh, cool it, Cell! It's just girl talk!" Zarbon teases. Cell rolls his eyes.
"Girl talk? Last time I checked, Zarbon you're a male." Cell said.
"Hey! It's 2024. You can be whatever you want!" Zarbon chides, and waggles his finger. Cell rolled his eyes.
"Now you have to call me, Zarbona!" Zarbon said.
"I am not calling you that." Cell deadpans.
"You want to get canceled on Swinner?" Zarbon asked, and to emphasize, he pulled out his phone and Cell scoffs.
"Cell, that's disrespectful, her name is Zarbona. Princess of the Brench-Seijins." Orion scolds Cell.
"Wait, you're a brench-seijin?" Cell asked.
"Yep, yours truly is indeed, a brench-seijiin!~" Zarbon croons, he flutters his eyelashes dramatically before turning to face Orion again.
"So, like I was saying~ How is he~ Tell me everything~" Zarbon said sweetly, Orion smirks.
"I mean, once you get over the fact he uses his tail then you're all set." Orion winks, Cell's face flushed.
"Orion! Why would you say that!?" Cell sputters out.
"Oooh~ Tailplay nice, nice…" Zarbon muses. Orion laughs.
"Oh, you."
"Isn't it too early in the relationship to be this intimate?" Dodoria asked. Zarbon rolled his eyes at their answer. Only smirking.
"You only live once, Dodoria. And why not spend that moment intimately with your partner, eh?" Zarbon chuckles, Dodoria seemed displeased by that.
"I wouldn't know anything like that." They said.
"Right, right. You're an ace in a hole, hm?" Zarbon presses. Dodoria shrugs.
"Even if you weren't, I'm sure any man would be glad to have you in bed with him~" Zarbon flutters his eyelids.
"I'm non-gender. I'm non-binary." Dodoria pans, they seemed to be used to this kind of behavior from Zarbon.
"Wait, Dodoria, you're non binary?" Orion asked.
"Yeah, shortly after arriving at HFIL, Dodoria just out of nowhere announced they were non-binary! It was not on my 2023 bingo card that year." Zarbon reached for another cup of alcohol, and Orion seemed to be shocked.
"Um, congrats!" Orion said.
"Yeah, but seriously, Orion. I am pretty happy you and Cell are together. Spend as much time as you two want, you both deserve each other. I just wish I could be with someone." Zarbon sighs, Orion placed a hand on Zarbon's arm comforting him.
"Hey, it's going to be alright. You'll find someone eventually. Okay?" Orion reassures him, Zarbon's face flushed.
"I hope so." Zarbon responds with a more optimistic tone. Fu cleared his throat and with his working hand lifted his cup.
"To friendships!" Fu toasts.
"To friendships!" Everyone responds.
"Whatever may happen tomorrow, let it fall into place! Just know we may all die tomorrow but today's the day where we celebrate!" Fu toasts, everyone cheers. Everyone downed their drinks as it shifted to Dabura and BoJack watching from afar.
"Ah, isn't it lovely? To watch friends converse before a life altering event, isn't it, BoJack?" Dabura muses to the ginger. BoJack hums in agreement.
"It is truly remarkable to see them all spend time with one another, you don't see that very often." BoJack stares at the group.
"You are a man of a very few words, BoJack, a few words but profound enough to make such a compelling statement. I must applaud you." Dabura compliments.
BoJack chuckled and walked away, "Oh, you know. It's better to speak less than speak a lot. A lot of people should take that to heart."
It was nighttime, and Orion was curled up against Cell, running a finger across his chest. His tail having long gone tucked away in betwixt his back. Cell seemed to be deep in thought after their downtime while Orion was thinking to herself.
"Cell?" Orion began.
"Yes, Orion." Cell said, a bit quiet.
"I was wondering… What would happen if you died?" Orion asked.
"...You move on." Cell whispered.
"But tommorrows the day where everything is off the table. All bets are off. If lost you, and..." Orion sighs.
"I know you can't bear to lose me… But you have to understand… You have to move on, if I go, then please stay behind and watch this place…" Cell said.
"If you go, I don't think I can handle it, I already lost…" She trails off, somberly looking down, a part of her was unable to think of a life without Cell, even though it's been a day since they confessed she would find it nearly impossible to even consider "moving on" she didn't do that when she lost him why would she do that for Cell? She sighs and looks down.
"Well, the part of healing is learning to let go and move on. Which is something you need to do. It's not healthy to keep torturing yourself like this, Orion." Cell said. Orion looked down.
"I suppose so…" Orion sighs. Cell nodded and caressed her cheek.
"Get to sleep, we have a loooong day ahead of us." Cell then turns over and Orion couldn't sleep. She gets up and heads to where Zarbon was. She knocks on his door, and shortly after Zarbon exits the room.
"Can't sleep either?" Zarbon asked, Orion shook her head. And he smiles, opening the door letting Orion in, she walks in, and Zarbon sat on his bed, and Orion sat next to him.
"So." Orion began.
"Yeah, tomorrow's going to be stressful, I've been worried a lot." Zarbon said, his hand snaking its way to where Orion's was, and he squeezed it.
"..." Orion's face flushes.
"I've been unable to sleep. I never thought that fighting against violence I sought to remove was a good idea." Orion said, Zarbon hums.
"I mean, you did try. If peace won't work, then there's violence." Zarbon said.
"Violence isn't always the solution. I wanted to try and be peaceful and not hurt people, solving this by the way of whatever Razzamoth does isn't the way." She said sadly.
Zarbon nodded. "I understand, but you've got far! I know how that feels, wanting to show people change."
Orion nodded, and leaned on Zarbon who blushed. "Zarbon, you've been such a good friend."
"Really now?" Zarbon swallows.
"Mhm." Orion said.
"I just, I feel like I am not doing much for you." She says.
"You are doing…" He bit his lip, "Alot."
Orion turned to face Zarbon. "Really?"
"Yes, in fact let me show you how much you do for me." Zarbon closed the gap between them with a kiss, and after that, it was sealed.
Orion found herself walking back to the room she shared with Cell, she panted and her legs were wobbly, She got in the bed, and headed to sleep.
The next morning, Fu found himself working on something to help him. When he was finished. He tested it out. It was a prosthetic arm.
"It should do. It's scrappy. But it's something I can use." He hums, and types on the computer to test it out. He still had trouble managing it. While he was testing out his arm, Orion was finishing the touches on her battlegear. She smiled gently. Cell walked in. He changed his armor to reflect that of a Mecha.
"Orion… You're dressed rather… suggestively." Cell said, Orion giggled.
"Many of my people always dress like this." Orion said.
"Yeah, but must you show off every side of you? I don't like people ogling you. It makes me angry." Cell said.
"Hm, are you jealous?" Orion giggles. Cell flushed, and turned away.
"No, it's just, some people can get handsy or sleazy and I don't want you to get hurt." Cell said.
Orion hums and Cell sighs.
"Alright, let's go, we're almost at the mark where the Demons arrive. I want to get to have a speech." She said, Cell nodded and followed Orion.
Arriving at the living room, Orion sees most of the Ginyu Force dressed in advanced uniforms. She smiled, and walked up to the group.
"I see you're also ready." Orion smiled towards Ginyu who looked away blushing. The feelings lingering around.
"Yeah, I am glad to see you are- Wow, uh…" Ginyu said.
"Wowie! Ginyu was your ex this HOT!?" Guldo said with rapt attention, Orion pouts, and rubs the back of her head nervously.
"Shut up Guldo." Ginyu flusters.
Zarbon walked up to Orion and tapped her shoulder. Orion turned around and smiled gently at Zarbon before gaping. "Wow, I didn't know you were this prepared!" She chirps.
"Yeah, me and Salza stayed up all night for this. And I am happy with the way my battle suit turned out, and wow, yours is… Interesting." Zarbon explained.
"Yeah, I am pretty well. Pretty built differently. I tend to wear binder and baggy clothes to prevent men from ogling at me." She glares at Guldo who Ginyu bonked on the head.
"I can imagine. With hips like those, no one in HFIL can resist the urge to rubberneck." Zarbon said. Orion nodded, Cell came in, and upon laying eyes on him, Orion's face flushed. He looked handsome. He was in full mecha form, and most of his armor was modified to be advanced. Gero looked impressed.
"Cell, you look amazing!" She said, rushing up to him.
"No, I look perfect. Dr. Gero worked wonders on making my Perfect Form even more Perfect." Cell gloats, which emitted an annoyed eye roll from Zarbon, although it seemed to be playful rather than genuine annoyance.
Then the sounds of the horn signalling the exterminations was about to begin. Cell nodded his head directly towards Orion who decided to lead them out. Upon arriving, Orion turned to Cell.
Cell nodded, and turned to the group. "Remember, fight like you've never fought before. Come whether it may be, death or freedom. Choose your destiny!" Cell dropped his mask over his mouth and grabbed his sword and rushed towards the opposing group as with the other side.
"We're going to show you WHOSE IN CHARGE!" Razzamoth shouts, charging at Cell, who they clashed swords with, meanwhile Azzy took on Orion while the others took on the other soldiers. Cell was fighting with all his might when he clashed swords with Razzamoth.
"Why are you fighting Cell? Isn't it better to allow your fate to happen naturally instead of postponing it?" Razzamoth sneered.
"No, I refuse to. That's a coward's way. I suppose you know what being a coward is like, huh?" Cell counters.
"No, but I know you have flaws, you're broken." Razzamoth laughs bitterly, which causes Cell to get confused and Razzamoth gets him on his back. With his sword drawn to Cell's body, "Now, any last words?"
Orion noticed Cell about to get hurt, and she swooped in and fought back Razzamoth, and he fell on the floor. "You BITCH!" Razzamoth roars. Orion held Cell close.
"Are you okay?" She asked, Cell nodded.
"Of course, thanks for having my back." Cell smiled.
"No problem." Orion smiles back in return.
"Ugh! This is so disgusting!" Razzamoth gags, "Nothing gets me more disgusted then two sinners acting all lovey-dovey. Azzy, you should just kill them where they stand now."
"Yes, sir!" Azzy salutes as he rushes at the two, and Orion moves her body in front of Cell to shield him from the hit.
"Orion! What are you doing!?" Cell shrieks.
"Protecting you, what else is it!?" Orion asked.
Orion closed her eyes, and was prepared to have Azzy strike her, but she didn't feel anything at all. Instead Azzy let out a scream of pain.
"Azzy!" said the voice of Razzamoth. Orion looked up and saw Fu, his sword drawn and in the eye- or what remained of Azzy's eye. Specifically his left eye. Azzy was in immense pain, he held onto his eye.
"You fucking bitch!" Azzy yells at Fu.
"Now, you feel the same way I felt when you tore my arm off." Fu coldly responded.
"You deserved every bit of that! You deserved to be tortured, you HARMED your chances at being a part of the Exterminators! You fucking traitor!" Azzy yelled.
"You can scream at me all you want, but nothing will or can change the fact you hurt me for ever daring to spare a child. I have morals, and those morals were overstepped when you forced me or at least tried to make me kill Kuriza. An INNOCENT child. He did NOTHING wrong! Now, since we're here. Do you want me to do the same to your eye? It'll even it out a bit…" Fu smirked. Razzamoth was seeing red.
"You keep your dirty filthy traitor hands off him! If you want to hurt him you have to go through me first!" Razzamoth barks, Fu turns his head to face his former commander, he turns the sword over to him.
"I don't take orders from you anymore, Razzamoth." Fu hisses.
"You had a chance to return!" Razzamoth gets up to Fu.
"Return to what? What exactly do I have to return to? A job that's more on the level akin to that of a chore? A meaningless existence consisting of killing potential children and lost souls who want redemption? Give me a break, Razzamoth! I think I was better off sparing Kuriza then wasting away working for the Demon King!" Fu snaps.
"You wash your fucking mouth!" Razzamoth snaps.
"He's not the real king you know, my Uncle is deserving of that title I am more deserving of that title!" Fu snaps.
"Is this really how it's going to go down? I the grand boisterous Razzamoth, leader of the only good thing to happen to this shithole reduced as a mere laughingstock? I should be feared and revered by this HFILhole, you should be thanking me. Because this place is filled with misery. None of you are spared from eternal judgement and redemption is not ever going to happen at all!" Razzamoth screamed. Zarbon snuck up behind Razzamoth and smirked.
"And no pretty boy is going to kill me like THAT!" Razzamoth plunges the sword in Zarbon's chest, causing him to gag and choke, Orion screamed and rushed over to Zarbon who was coughing up blood.
"Remember what I said to you in Fus lab?" Zarbon smiled, Orion tears up.
"Yeah. About how all women are valid?"
"Yeah... I'm not... Actually kidding when I said that, I... I'm in love with you. The idea of being with you. But sadly. There's not much time for me left here..."
"Zarbon. Don't say this. Hang on."
"I can't. Just promise me you'll be happy with Cell. Keep a happy smile on your face."
Orion's lip quivers, and Zarbon went limp. "Zarbon... Don't go..."
When Orion gained confirmation that Zarbon won't rise from his sleep at all, Orion placed her head down on the corpse of her friend, and potential lover. Razzamoth laughs.
"You see? You see? Even when you fight for those you LOVE you only hurt them! He's dead because of your pathetic attempt at peace! No matter what you do, someone ends up hurt, Yamcha, Krillin and even Him! Because you are running away from something and now, you can't run away from me THE NEXT DEMON KI-" Razzamoth was cut short when he felt something pierced through his chest, Razzamoth chokes at a gasp.
"SIR!" Azzy shouts to his partner, Razzamoth coughs in disbelief.
"Wh- How!?"
Once the object was dislodged and Razzamoth slumped over, it revealed it was Fu, despite being near Azzy, Fu managed to bide his time, at the expense of no one's surprise Zarbon. Fu was tearful.
"You fucking dick." Fu looked over to a shocked and crying Orion. And back at Razzamoth.
"You had no idea how long I dreamt of this moment." Fu said, Razzamoth coughs up blood and his eyes dulled.
"Your end of terror ends now, and you." Fu said sternly to Azzy, who looked up at him, hatred and anger in his eyes, "Tell them, Send no more."
Azzy grimaced. "No! I won't-" Before Azzy could protest, Goz came with Mez, and looked at Azzy.
"I believe you are in no position to argue, unless you want your troops to be slaughtered next, I suggest you take your friends and split." Mez said.
"...Fine. Come on guys, exterminations are cancelled." Azzy gets up, and takes one long look at Razzamoth and plucks his earrings off while hauling his body with him to go and leave with his flock.
Back at the Mansion, Orion looked forlornly at the circlet Zarbon wore prior to his death. She looked at the pretty gem glowing and tears streamed from her face. She saw the reflection of her downtrodden expression. She sniffled and Cell walked up to her, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"What's the matter?" Cell asked.
"Zarbon…" Orion sniffled, Cell nodded and hugged Orion gently.
"He wouldn't want you to mope about, he wanted you to live on out of spite for those who hurt him." Cell said.
"Yeah, but his legacy lies in the hands of some poor decisions he made down here, who knows where he's been… Or where he ended up." Orion got up and slowly made her way to a plaque with the name Zarbon written on there, and placed the Circlet on there, she smiled longfully.
"Wherever he is, I hope he's happy."
The scene changes to a bright location where a discussion is taking place between King Yemma and Lilac, when the figure of Zarbon appears. His eyes momentarily adjusted as King Yemma's eyes widened. The file of Zarbon manifested in front of him and the added words to the last section of his file appeared in bold:
"Zarbon LeBeau: Former Frieza Elite, Loving and Doting Father, Did a heroic act in the name of protecting those he loves, First Redeemed Soul."
Reading those words, King Yemma's face fell, his face was horrified. He knew, he realized in that moment what he did, Lilac on the other hand was giddy to see him. Zarbon shyly waves to them.
In the land of the kais in the overworld, sat a Kai, who was humming and pouring tea. He seemed to have no care in the world. As he turned away from the tea cup. His eyes twinkled a bit before a bitter chuckle escaped his mouth.
"Azzy, what are you doing here?" The Kai asked. With a smirk.
"...Cut the shit. You know why I am here." Azzy said, floating down. He seemed to be very upset judging by the tone and indicator of his voice, the Kai hums and approaches the smaller Demon with a smirk.
"And why is that?" The Kai asked. Azzy growls and grabs the kai roughly, causing the taller male to elicit a grunt.
"You have no fucking idea what I have been through. My fucking eye has been ripped out, these fucking monsters somehow had the balls to attack back! We anticipated it, we prepared for it. But we didn't expect them to be THAT strong!" Azzy snaps.
"I mean, most of the population consists of either Saiyans or Namekians or even that Cell guy." The Kai said dismissively.
"They fucking killed Razzamoth!" Azzy hisses.
"What do you want me to do about it?" The Kai asked, Azzy pressed his face closer to the Kai's and snarls.
"I want you, to get your ass down there, and fucking teach them a goddamn lesson!" Azzy snaps.
"...And what if I don't?" The Kai asked, seemingly threatened.
Azzy chuckled and shook his head. "Oh, you have to do it, you have no choice, you and your sister are subservient to the demon realm. If you don't do it, then your deal is off. You don't want to disappoint your sister, do you?"
The Kai grimaced. "Very well then, consider it done."
