The Runaway Experiment

Epilogue

Goku, Gohan, Goten, Vegeta, Trunks, Krillin, and Tien were all flying back to Capsule Corp as fast as their injured bodies would allow to get the Dragon Radar to wish Segira back. Piccolo had gone to Korin's Tower to get some senzu beans and had agreed to meet with them once he got them.

"Just a little longer and we'll bring you back." Gohan thought to himself as they flew.

After several more minutes of flying, however, a voice echoed in their minds. "Hello? Can you guys hear me?" A familiar voice asked them.

Goku lifted an eyebrow in confusion and the others looked confused as well. "Kaio Sama? Is something up?" Goku asked.

"Well, sort of. But first, stop flying for a second, I need to talk to you guys about something."

"But...we're kind of in a hurry..."

"Just trust me on this."

Goku sighed heavily. "Alright..." He and the others very reluctantly came to a stop. "So, what is it?"

"A few things, actually. I looked into that form Segira was in while fighting Vairos, and it's apparently called Super Saiyan God. It's stronger than Super Saiyan 3, by a lot, but it can't be attained through training like the other Super Saiyans forms you know."

"How do you achieve it then?" Vegeta asked, intrigued by this form.

"Well to be honest, I'm not sure... I haven't gotten that far yet. I told you everything I know about it, but I'll contact you again once I have more information."

"Okay, what else did you want to talk about?" Goku asked again.

"Well, firstly, Segira is here with me."

"She is!?" Gohan asked immediately when he heard that.

"Yes, but she doesn't know I'm contacting you."

"Oh..."

"Can you let her know we're going to wish her back soon?" Goku asked.

"I would, but that's another thing I wanted to talk to you guys about." Kaio Sama replied.

"Huh?"

"She doesn't want be brought back yet."

"What?!" Gohan asked in shock and disbelief.

"Why not...?" Goten asked sadly.

"She wants to train here with me in Other World so she can be stronger and more helpful in battles without using Super Saiyan God."

"I see..." Goku said quietly while Gohan looked down sadly.

"I understand how she feels, but still..." Gohan thought to himself.

"Can we at least visit her?" Trunks asked hopefully.

"No, I don't want her to know that I'm in contact with you or anything while she's here. She'll get distracted by it pretty easily since she misses you guys so much. Trust me, it was pretty hard for her to ask me to let her stay here for a while to train."

"I understand." Goku said.

"When can we wish her back?" Gohan asked.

There was a moment of silence as Kaio Sama thought about it. "Sometime between 1 and years should work." He replied.

"Alright, we'll gather the Dragon Balls and keep them somewhere safe until it's time to wish her back." Goku said.

"Sounds good. I won't tell her that she'll be brought back in that time though, that way it'll be a surprise."

"Okay, thank you, Kaio Sama.

"You're welcome." Kaio Sama cut off the connection after that.

Silence fell over them and no one moved after that. "Well, let's go get the Dragon Radar." Goku said after a while, breaking the silence.

"But, we're not bringing her back yet." Trunks said.

He looked at Trunks. "I know, but I said we'd gather the Dragon Balls and save them for when we do wish her back, right?"

"Yeah..."

"Then that's what we're gonna do. Come on." He started flying towards Capsule Corp again, followed by everyone except Gohan.

Gohan stared up at the sky as he floated there. "At least two years, huh?" He thought to himself. "Two years without seeing or even speaking to her... I don't know if I can do that...but I will for her. She wanted this, so I'll wait for her to come back." He smiled softly to himself. "Segira, once you get back, I'll make up for all the time we were separated. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing you again."
