[I won't speak much besides the fact I'm trying my best to update. Now, back to the fanfic.]

Goten P.O.V. 

It honestly hurt me to turn her in. Then again, I don't like her very much as I used to. Even then, I wished I haven't done so, but if I want to save everyone, I have to. As I grabbed a hold of her limp body, I walked toward the palace constructed by the slaves of Earth. Great Kami, I feel terrible just seeing these people working to their deaths. 

I continued walking, realizing what I'm about to do. Turn her in and the Earth and its inhabitants are safe. Or defy him and risk losing billions of lives and a home. Honestly, I hope there's a way out of this. I could kill him. That sounds like an honest and simple answer, but the last time I fought him, more and more his power increased to the point where it was the first time losing to such brute. I got to the large doors that led to the so-called throne room, and before then, I halted. With an emotion similar to a heartbreak, I turned to her, realizing I've hurt her by doing this. 

The moment she opened her eyes, she glared with a self-hatred expression. Not only was she mad about me turning her in to the threat she avoided since 15, but she was teary-eyed from the potential future this moment has to her. "Why did you stop?" 

I sighed heavily, regretting everything I've done since her disappearance. The moment she woke up, I had to set her down. Not only is she glaring, she might writhe using a lot of force; to me it was the best if I set her down. "I want to save everyone, but I don't want to risk giving you up." 

"Oh. You still like me, don't you?" She crossed both arms, trying her best to not focus on me.

"Not as much as I used to... Kami. I feel like an idiot for getting in the way of Trunks. I should have let him have you from the start. I should have seen how much you mean to him. And now, at this point of time, it all ends here." Having little hope left, he reached over to her hand, as if he's about to place something. 

"What are you--," 

"There's nothing I can do anymore. I'm just a shitty guard for him. I can no longer face the people who mean a lot to me due to the shitty position I'm in. You can do something though. I know you've suffered from a ridiculous power level, but if it makes you feel better, I'll give you most of my power to you. Please take it." I ended up transferring 4/5 of my power to her, knowing it's for the best. As the energy flowed from me like a river, it then caused a small presence of warmth and harmony to her fingertips. "You can get out of this. I know it."

She looked at me, an expression consisting of a mix of puppy eyes and large remorse. "You really mean it?" 

"Why else would I give you my power? I just wish you luck on getting out of this." I opened the large door, the wave self-hatred and powerful regret hitting my chest. 

I'm sorry...

Broly P.O.V.

The gate opened to the room I was in. I started to get horribly impatient. Where is she? Where on this wretched planet did she disappear to? She can't have gone far enough! I had it with these shenanigans, and I want to get to the bottom of this!! Before I nearly blew a fuse, it was Goten. The filthy son of Kakarot. He was with someone, holding them as a hostage. "What is this? Who did you bring before me?" 

His eyes widened; a symbol of fear being expressed. "I... I brought a maid over. I-I thought you needed more." 

Son of a bitch. For a moment, I thought he finally found the woman I so loved... but blast it. Another weakling to do my bidding, at least. "I thought you found her for once!!" 

"No, but I found the guy she loved and dated! He knows where she is, and it wouldn't hurt to torture the truth out of him. Would that suffice?" 

"What are you waiting for!? Bring him over and force the truth out of him! As for the bitch you brought over, put her in the dungeon with the rest of the weak maids!" 

"ON IT!!!" He grabbed her wrist roughly and sprinted out of the room. 

For that split second, there was something horribly odd about her... If the case were true, it must be another one of the Prince's children. Whatever, since I made sure their power caps at 700. 

(Y/N) P.O.V. 

"What was that for," you said, wanting to erupt your anger and lash out on him. "You had to call me a maid!" 

"It was the only thing I can come up within that very second," Goten replied. "You have to believe me when I'm saying I'll take you to Trunks." 

You glared at him, much like Yellow Diamond glaring at Peridot after being called a clod. "First you ripped me apart from him, and now you want him to reunite with me? Who the heck must you be?!" 

"Goten Son." 

"Okay, you got me there... But seriously, why did you bother lying your way out of it?" 

"I thought he would remember you after so long. I guess you can't underestimate the growth of teenagers. Glad you ended up with some blackheads on your cheek area." 

"WHAT!!!" 

"Hey. You should take that as a compliment, now that we're this far in such dangerous quests. If it weren't for that, he would most likely remember and take you." 

You stopped at a cell with green lasers and other protective means covering the entrance to the cell. As you tried to look in with squinting eyes, the defenses were dropped. "Are you really gonna throw me in there?" 

He gave you a weird yet funny face. "Yeah." He pushed you in. "I take orders to an extent. I'm placing you with everyone else, but I'm not gonna give you up. For now, stay there. I'll set free my dad and Mr. Vegeta." He closed the cell and ran off. "THINK OF THIS AS A FAVOR!" 

"First he told me to think of developing blackheads as a compliment, and now he wants me to take this as a favor... No wonder why Goten is still a virgin." 

"(Y/N)?" 

You turned around, only to see Trunks run up to you and embrace you very warmly. "What the?" Before you had a chance to react, a soft kiss was placed on your forehead. "Oh?" 

"I missed you so much," Trunks whispered, continuing to hug you. "I thought you were turned in." 

"So," Tarble said, "aren't we going to break out of here?" 

"I will in a little bit." For a few seconds more, he continued to hug you before letting go. "Oh my god. How did you convince Goten to leave you in here? I thought he wouldn't do something like this?" 

"You idiot," your mother said, "Goten isn't the kind to obey those kinds of orders!" 

"Shut the f*ck up, Mom," you replied. "No one asked you!" 

She halted for a long moment, keeping quiet. 

"Dang," Gohan said. "You brought her down faster than Harambe." 

"SERIOUSLY GOHAN, EITHER KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT OR WE'RE DRESSING YOU UP AS (Y/N)!!" 

"ANYTHING BUT THAT!" 

"THEN STOP QUOTING OUTDATED MEMES!" 

"Shut up," Nappa said. "Seriously, are we going to break out of the cell?" 

"I doubt it. My daughter is still weak and can only reach to a power level of one!" 

"Don't show her," Trunks whispered to you. 

You glared at him, looking like you don't take him seriously. "I can break you all out of this cell in one move." 

"Prove it," your mother said.
