Daiko walks up as he sat at the edge of time. A big ball of light, almost like fire in the distance illuminates the space around him. He takes his mask off and takes a deep breath and sits down on the ground as he watches the light and rocks floating around him. Footsteps were heard as it was Sorrel and the others who came to join him. Everyone.

"Huh...would you look at that..." Daiko says without turning his head away from the light. "The end of...everything. Time...space...existence...everything. Who knew the end would make for a beautiful view?"

"Daiko?" Daika calls out as she sits next to him. "Why did you call us here? Everyone here?"

"Seriously, I woke up to be here." Jakuna (PKI) says.

"Silence." Akumo says.

"Well...It just felt...right to call you guys here. Even if our paths aren't meant to cross usually. To share this moment with everyone I knew." He says as the light pulses. "Almost as if...this seems a little sad...but happy at the same time?"

Everyone looked at each other, questioning still on why they were brought to this place at this time. A few of them started to realize and walked up to Daiko, seating themselves to watch the light in the distance. Others stood by, trying to figure it out for themselves.

"You know...I've seen this place multiple times. Never thought I'd actually visit this place." Daiko (Xeno) said as he took off his mask as well. "The Edge. Every road leads and ends here."

"Literally and metaphorically, eh?" Sorra (Xeno) says, nudging him with her shoulder.

"To think we'd be sitting here with everyone too. Kind of like a dream." Kumara (Xeno) claims.

"Hm..." Prime kept his arms crossed as he watched the light up ahead.

"Oh come on. We live forever guys. Immortal Saiyan gods and whatnot?" Daiko (GT) says.

"It's true...but everything around us doesn't keep up. All things fall so others can rise up. An endless cycle of life and death." Artiko says, taking off his mask. "We may live on...but it's the memories of us that will die soon. Humans hold onto the memories they're most fond of, keeping lost ones alive in their hearts. When they forget about them...they truly are gone. Same goes for everyone here."

"Yeah..." Daiko says with a sigh.

"But...I don't understand." Says Sorrel (GT). "We're all here and...we would never forget about each other right?"

"Correct you are lesser me." Sorrel (AU) says. "But I don't think Artiko is talking about us. Nor what Daiko there is thinking."

"What a bunch of corny stuff." Jakuna says sitting down with her blade on the ground. "Let's just enjoy our time together here with this view we have. No mushy stuff."

"Hm..." Daika (Vampa) sat behind her and hugs her with her cheek resting on top of her head. "Soft hair."

Jakuna groans but doesn't push her away. One by one everyone eventually sat down to watch the light in front of them. The light dims a little before brightening up again.

"So...what happens after this? After we go back home? Just live our lives like normal?" Daika (AU-2) asks. "Because...it's peaceful here."

Kumara (AU-2) puts a hand on her arm with a gentle smile with a nod of agreement. The xenos look around as the word "peaceful" was spoken out loud.

"While that is true...we have responsibilities of our own to get back to soon. All we can do is enjoy the time we have together now before...we go back." Sorrel speaks. "It's...kind of nice to be here with everyone. It's been a while since we've seen each other, despite the rules."

"Especially since Christmas is coming up real soon. Thought this year...we would do something together, like old times." Daika (GT) says rubbing her arm.

"...you know what? We will do something together this year. Right before...we go back to focusing on our lives." Daiko says, putting his mask back on. "I don't want to end things on a sort of sad note. I want to end things with a smile on our faces."

"Yeah, that sounds good to me." Sorrel (Xeno) says. "Come on, who's with us?"

Everyone looked at each other with a nod as they all agree. For now though, they sat together and enjoyed each other's company with this out-worldly view.
