1,444 Chapter 28: My Bad
I feel terrible for not updating for so long, I really had planned updating earlier but I guess time slipped away from me. Four months is just unacceptable and it won't ever take that long again to update I promise. Now that I have the apologies out of the way welcome everybody to the long awaited chapter 28. Usually after a long hiatus or not writing I feel rusty but damn I feel like this is one of the better chapters so I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it.

Thank you to everyone who reviewed, getting one thousand reviews when I first started this fic was an impossible goal to reach in my mind. I thought I would be lucky to get 100 so to get this many, damn you guys are the best readers I could ask for still putting up with my shit. Oh and I took Ritchie out of this story as I felt he added nothing and was just fodder at this point, although I doubt anybody would even notice that he was gone considering what little I did with him.

Disclaimer: Well turns out having Chris Sabat voice all the female characters wasn't a good idea, apparently Vegeta in a high pitched voice doesn't sound all that good.

It was almost as if time stopped as the stood there. There was no breeze, no sun, no sound, just my butty overhead hovering over them as they stood in silence. It was like this for a while until the tiny sound of rain drops hitting the ground broke the atmosphere.

Alpha let out a deep breath as he looked down at the grave marking, he knew one day he would see her name like this. With her birth date and her death right underneath it, but why did it have to be so soon.

Jimmy just stood silently by his side, it's all he could do as Alpha was doing what he needed to do. He could have stood there for in silence as long as possible but that wasn't necessary as Alpha broke the silence.

"Three years...Do you even recognize me now, Mom? Are you looking all around, wondering where your little boy went?" The more Alpha talked the harder it got for him and he began to struggle to get the words out.

"Yesterday I would've said that he was with you, that he's been with you now for three years. But I've stepped out of the darkness for once and into the light to see... to see that that little boy is still here. No fire or betrayal will ever make him go away because he's back now and won't be going anywhere anytime soon."

Jimmy, shocked at what he was hearing kept it all inside as he stoically stood by Alpha's side. It stayed quiet for a while after that, the only sound he could hear was the trees swaying in the background. What caught his attention were the droplets of tears falling from Alpha's face onto her gravestone.

Jimmy opened his mouth to say something but no words came out as he gently placed his hand on Alpha's shoulder.

Alpha silently nodded his head as he used his sleeve to wipe away the tears remaining on his cheek, "Alright, I'm ready now."

Alpha's claim confused Jimmy, "Ready for what Alpha? You can't go finish competing in the tournament you missed your match."

Alpha took away everything that had covered his identity, the hat, the pulled up shirt that was up to his nose, the sunglasses, everything. "I'm gonna go do what I should've done a lot time ago."

As Alpha told Jimmy his plan his eyes widened in shock, "You're joking...right? I mean not even you..."

"Dead serious Jimmy," Alpha replied as he called out his Staraptor, "It's the only way I can redeem myself. It's the only way I can finally put it all in the past."
