Dragon Ball: Next Generation

What Now?

"What?"

"Why are you here, sis?" The voice repeated itself.

"Goku?" And I rose up from a white bed, my friends all around me. "I... I... can't believe I did this." I said looking around, seeing my friends. My friends lookedat me as if I were crazy. "Why did you come back, Akari?" Goku repeated and I looked at him, I had tears in my eyes.

"Goku, I needed to save the world from Vegeta and the Green Widow... They were killing innocent people.I couldn't let them kill me without taking them down with me. I had to... for my daughter, my Harmony." I said and I started crying, I failed. My mission was gone, I was dead. I wasted my perfect chance to have a normal life... sorta...

"Please stop crying... please?"Goku tried to cheer me up, but nothing was working at all...

"Quit your crying!" A voice boomed from behind my friends. "You better straighten up, you just saved me from almost being totally corrupted."

Vegeta...

I looked at him as he came closer, my friends clearing a path for him. "You don't give up like that. That is not the woman I fell in love with! You are no normal Earth Girl! I want you to act like a warrior! Do you hear me, Katarina?!"

I looked at him... There was my Vegeta back...

I tackled him, we were on the floor and he smiled at me. I then kissed him, I couldn't really help it... I finally had my real Vegeta back. "So, I saved you?"

"Yes, Katarina, you saved me from forever being ruled over by a bug." Vegeta said and he smirked.

"I doubt I will get a second chance,Vegeta..."

"You? You are a angel, you need to be there."

"So do you. I need you, Harm needs you." I smiled a little and I got up, helping Vegeta up too.

"So, are you going to try to go back?" Goku asked, he totally knew the answer.

"Of course, Goku, I need to get back down there for Harmony, so does Vegeta." I said and Goku gave me a hug.

"Be safe, Akari. I love you, Sis."And everyone waved goodbye as I walked out the door to go to King Yemma.

"NO! I CANNOT GIVE YOU ANOTHER CHANCE, why should I?" King Yemma bellowed as I stood there with Vegeta. I was about to jump out of my skin, but I was irritated about the fact there were so many things that has prevented me from having special things in my life.

"King Yemma, I have a daughter down there on Earth! She needs someone to take care of her!"

"Pan can take care of her."

"I haven't completed my task."

"You failed. You died."

"But I need to be down there!"

"You should have thought about that before you blew yourself up..."

I was totally getting mad after that comment. I went full on Saiyan Guardian and stood my ground.

"I'll have you know that there are many things that have happened in my life that prevented me from having the fullest life I could have. There were many many wonderful parts of my life, but there was a lot of fighting just to achieve peace. I have a job, and I am going to do it, even if it means that I have to go as a ghost."

That was nice actually getting all that stuff off my chest... I should vent more often...

"Akari, you had one shot. You failed.You blew yourself up, for what? Defeating an enemy that could have been like Buu. But way more evil. You blew up yourself, Vegeta, and the Green Widow. You used your life to save the planet. You are an angel for doing that, but you had other things to do and you wasted it. Now there will be no next generation of Z fighters. No one to protect Earth."

"There will be, if you give me one last shot!" I pleaded, then Old Kai appeared. He still looked like the same Old Kai I remembered.

"King Yemma, a terrible evil is still on Earth. Where is Akari?" Then he saw me and smiled a almost toothless smile. He went over to me and looked at me to see if I was really here. "Akari, you look as beautiful as ever. Why are you here?"

"Well... I sacrificed myself to get Vegeta out of his poisoned mind control and I was trying to save the Earth from a horrible evil."

Old Kai shook his head... "That Evil,when you blew it up... It turned into three... It is now three beings now terrorizing the Earth."

"NO! Harmony is down there... There are so many innocent people down there... NO!" I then started to tear. Vegeta then gave me the look and I wiped my tears away.

"We will need a lot more than Vegeta and I... King Yemma, I need all of the Z-Fighters, Bulma and Chi-Chi,and Videl. We all need to work together to defeat them.

King Yemma then thought about it...
