| Chapter 17: Peace Has Returned�Finally �Ka�me�� Goku, Kitaria and Gayah chanted together. Ajiin�s eyes grew wide. �N - no! It can�t end like this!� he stumbled. He tried gathering his leftover power into one last beam of energy. ��ha�me�� Ajiin formed a ball of energy in his hand and sent it up towards the three Saiyans. �HAAAA!!!� Gayah, Goku, and then Kitaria sent out their Kamehameha Waves at Ajiin, and his beam was engulfed as their three Kamehamehas fused together and hit Ajiin in one forceful collision. They could hear his blood-curdling scream, even over the wind that they had created. Soon, the dust had cleared and the wind died down. Down on the ground, they could see Ajiin�s body lying there motionless in a puddle of blood. They descended, as Gayah felt her energy going low once more. Kitaria and Goku helped her to land. �Are you okay?� Kitaria asked. Gayah nodded, breathing heavily and sweat dripping off of her forehead. �Yeah, I�m fine. I just felt a lot of Ajiin�s pain just then, and it seemed to drain a lot of my energy,� Gayah explained. �Well, he�s gone now, so you don�t have to worry about him draining you anymore,� Goku reassured as he rested his strong hand on her shoulder. Gayah looked up at him and smiled. �Someone better do something about his body,� Kitaria pointed out. �Don�t worry about it, Kitaria. He�ll be taken care of. Why don�t we go home?� Goku suggested. The three of them put their arms around each other, and decided to walk home and admire the scenery. After hours of walking, the three Saiyans approached Capsule Corp and saw everyone standing outside waiting for them. ChiChi started to cry and ran into Goku�s scratched and bleeding arms. Fey�lya and Zimena embraced their mother happily. Trunks, Goten and Bulma walked up to them, and Goten and Trunks grabbed Kitaria�s legs, smiling and pouting to her. Kitaria knelt down and hugged her little friends. �So?� Bulma asked. The three tired Saiyans looked at her and nodded, smiling. �You mean�he�s really gone??� They nodded again. �The three of you did it?? I can�t believe it!� �Frankly, neither can I, Bulma,� Gayah chuckled as she stood, holding her two children. ChiChi cried in her husband�s arms. �I thought I had lost you�again,� she sobbed. Goku ran his hands through ChiChi�s hair. �You didn�t have to worry. We had everything under control, and everything is fine now,� he appeased his wife. She looked up at him, and another tear, her last tear, ran down her cheek. Goku leaned down and kissed it away. �It�s so good to see you guys back here and safe. Let�s go inside. Why don�t you guys get cleaned up?� Bulma suggested. �That sounds great right now, Bulma,� Kitaria smirked. They followed Bulma in the house and directed them each to a different bathroom. �Please, you guys, take your time. You earn a good shower, a relaxing sleep and a tasteful meal,� Bulma remarked. And with that, she walked off. �Well, I�m up for a nice, hot shower right about now. How about you guys?� Gayah asked. Goku and Kitaria just smiled. �Well, see you in awhile.� And with that, they all went their separate ways. ~*Goku*~ �I can�t believe we cut it so close out there. I could feel Gayah�s energy draining quickly and Kitaria�s anger was almost awakened. But I�m just glad it�s all over. But I wish there was something we could have done to save Gohan and the others. I hated watching him suffer like that. He didn�t deserve to die, but who does? The minute he gets wished back, I�m taking him out and spending time with him�ALONE. I won�t make the same mistake I did before. He had to go 7 years without talking to me or seeing me, and I know it had to have been hard on him, because it was on me. Knowing that my son was growing up without me�I couldn�t even bear it, but I knew then that I couldn�t return to Earth. But now�I�m glad I�m back, because I can watch Gohan grow once again, and I have another son to look after and teach everything that Grandfather Gohan taught me and Gayah. And I�ll never forget it�ever.� ~*Gayah*~ �This is so refreshing�I can�t believe I almost died out there, more than once! I was so careless, but what else could have been done?? I mean, that bastard that called himself Ajiin killed my husband, my children, my nephews, and my friends. Did he really think I was going to be easy on him, even if it cost my own pain? He obviously didn�t know me very well. And he�ll never get that chance now that he�s dead. He can join all of those good-for-nothings in hell. And the moment I see Zasyder back in the living world, I�m going to tell him how much I love him and�show it. And I swear that I will never be that careless ever again, and I won�t let anyone else die. I�ll remember everything that you taught me, Grandpa. To this day, I haven�t forgotten you, and I never will.� ~*Kitaria*~ �This feels great! But man�I never thought something like this would have happened. I feel so�WRONG. The way Ajiin tortured me before I died�ooh! It makes me feel so sick that I went through with it. My body feels like it won�t let anything touch it. Even for someone like me, what Ajiin did to me�I�ll never forget it. And I hope that Zasyder, Gohan, and even Vegeta are wished back soon, because I miss them. I really do. And the first chance I get, I�m calling Trunks in the future and telling him what happened. I know he�ll be mad at me for letting Ajiin take advantage of me, but�I have to start fending for myself. Goku and Gayah have posed as my parents for so long and tried to protect me and Gohan from so much. But look at us now. And Vegeta�when he gets back, there is something that I want to tell him�� The three Saiyans showered until their hearts were content and went to have a nice, large meal, prepared by Bulma�s maids. After they ate, everyone decided to take a nap. But, three people couldn�t sleep. Three Saiyans that had just saved the world. They left their separate rooms, meeting each other in the middle of the hallway. |
