Love Is A Strength, Not A Weakness

~ Epilogue ~

            Mirai Trunks stood on the balcony and watched the handful of servants that worked here at the Moon Palace scurry around with their tasks. They had all come from either his own time line where the world was doomed, or from the world where Usagi’s Senshi had lived, people she had known, or had once been a part of her kingdom many years ago. Either way it was enough to run the Palace, and the small town right outside of it.

            Mirai’s thoughts wandered back to before this had all happened, It had been only a couple months after his Bunny had defeated Korihi, freeing everyone that had been under his rule; and ambassadors had begun to arrive pledging alliance to her. Somehow amongst the wave of diplomats that began to arrive they had gotten married, and decided to live at the Moon Palace, as it was her right. That and it got the sudden surge of ‘alien’ traffic away from Chikyuu Proper. It had been only days after that when she realized they would need a staff.

So he had gone to his own time, armed with a crystal key to bring anyone that was willing and that he accepted to join they’re staff; while she went to the other dimension to gather willing friends. They had both arrived with a fair sized group two days later, which immediately got to work, and had prospered ever sense. Those either choose to live within the palace, or start the town just outside the palace walls. The entire place had prospered under their rule. For he was now The Golden Ouja Trunks, ruling with The Silver Ouki Serenity, and they were happy ruling, lives of fighting for peace had made them content to protect it as well. 

That had been five years ago, and now they were still ruling in the Moon Palace, though what they ruled went far beyond, and had become known as the Crystal Alliance. He continued to watch the activities going on below laughing as he saw one scurry after someone else, everything was at peace; but where was Serenity, Miko, and Gosha. They needed to leave soon if they weren’t going to be late. Which would disappoint Vegeta, though he would never actually admit it. He loved his grandchildren. Just then the familiar silvery head, with a pair of silvery lilac heads in tow entered the room.

“Tousan!!!” the little girl with her silvery lilac locks done up in odangos called out and ran forward, Mirai scooped her up.

“Miko! How’s my little bara no mikomi?” he asked swinging her up into the air and then hugging her close so that their noses touched.

“Silly Tousan!!” the four-year-old girl chided before kissing her father on the nose.

“Tousans not silly Miko. You are!!!” the little boy beside his mother stated, and stuck out his tongue.

“Gosha, your just upset cause I beat you today!!” the girl taunted her twin brother back. Serenity’s silvery laugh filled the room.

“Enough you two, you can have a rematch later,” she told them picking up her son, and then taking Mirai’s hand with her free one. The royal couple slipped out a side door and into a small empty room, save for the circle on the floor, with ten colored crystal points. Just inside the doorway two Lunarian felines sat, each with a kitten at their feet. Both kitten’s fur had a silver sheen to it, though one was pale gray, the other dark.

“Diana!” the young girl in her father’s arms exclaimed the pale grey kitten dashed forward, and gathered herself to jump, but before she could do so, Artimis came up behind her, picked her up and then lept up onto Mirai’s shoulder before letting the younger kitten go. Diana began to purr as she hopped from there to Miko’s arms.

“Mikomi-hime we are going with you today,” the kitten stated in her tiny voice, the bell on her collar tinkling. By this time Luna had also taken her usual position on Serenity’s shoulder, the dark gray kitten, Delos, in the little boys arms. Serenity smiled at them, then nodded to Mirai and they walked forward into the circle, and in moments had vanished in a flash.

The royal family appeared in a similar circle high above Chikyuu at Dende’s lookout. Both Mirai and Serenity set down the two bundles of energy that where their children and walked towards the edge of the floating palace.

“Can we fly on our own Tousan? Okassan?” Gosha asked hopefully, his twin sister’s eyes filling with the same hope.

“Oh I don’t know… what do you think Bunny?” he asked his wife, using the nickname he had given her years ago.

“Oh let them, but you two must stay with us no flying ahead or out of our sight,” she told them, smiling as the twin terrors cheered and made a dash for the edge, but then stopped and waited for their parents, Delos and Diana clinging to their shoulders. Mirai grinned at the two before wrapping an arm around Serenity and the two taking off together, Luna and Artimis on their shoulders. Soon they were on their way to Capsule Corp, the two four year old demi-Lunarian/Saiyans going this way and that while their parents flew steadily. Soon they arrived at the ever growing and flourishing Capsule Corp grounds. No sooner had the family touched down, then a familiar blue haired woman rushed out of the building and scooped up the two children.

“Obaasan!!” the two cried gleefully and hugged the woman.

“Look at you two!! You’ve grown so much, been good to your parents I hope?” she asked teasingly while eyes the two sets of bright blue eyes.

“Of course Obaasan,” stated Gosha proudly.

“Obaasan, where’s Ojiisan?” Miko asked excitedly. Bulma grinned at the two.

“Hogosha, Mikomi, he’s out back in the gravity chamber. Why don’t you two go get him out of it, Hmm?” she suggested, and no sooner had she set them down then they were off to find there Ojiisan Vegeta.

“Hey Mom,” Mirai greeted and hugged her, then stepped back as Serenity and she hugged as well.

“So all those stingy diplomats let you escape after all?” she teased.

“Who said we asked them?” Serenity stated innocently, then winked at Bulma who laughed.

“Well come on in, Goku and Chichi aren’t here yet, but Gohan and Videl, Bra and Goten, Trunks and Kalli, as well as Pan and Retasu are all here. I’m sure Gosha and Miko, along with Delos and Diana will soon be playing with Nenriki, and Zean.” Bulma informed them

Mirai smiled as the two women began to gossip and headed inside, his mind wandered on to those his mother had mentioned. Gohan and Videl were still very happy together, and in fact had a two year old son named Soku.

Now Bra and Goten, that had been interesting. The two had officially become a couple not long after the battle with Korihi, dated for a couple years and then married. They would be expecting their first child in 3 months. Mirai almost pitied Goten, he knew that this little sister had been having strange food cravings, but they were very happy together. Though it had taken some work on Bulma’s part to get Vegeta to let them be. All in all Mirai thought that his father was actually proud to have his daughter marry this son of Kakarot, though he would deny it to his grave.

The next pair Trunks and Kalli, had been smitten with each other soon after that battle as well, becoming inseparable, though Trunks had refused to actually commit himself, too afraid that she really didn’t want him, so Kalli being the Saiyan woman she was had taken control, beaten Trunks in a fight and claimed him. A brief wedding had been held two months later, more to satisfy Bulma, and for show then for an added commitment between the two. They had a 4 year old son named Zean, one of those that he was sure Miko and Gosha were already up to their necks in mischief with.

The last chibi that his mother had mentioned was Nenriki, or ‘Riki’ for short. She lived up to the reputation of her mother, a spitfire and tomboy of a little girl. This daughter of Pan and the Saiyan warrior Retasu had become very close friends with Miko, the two girls often teaming up to get back at the boys. Pan and Retasu had had one look at each other and became an official couple with in a month. They had stayed that way for about a year, before getting married, and with in months after wards Riki had been born. Mirai smiled as he remembered the slightly scarred look on Retasu’s face when Gohan had cornered him to have a talk about how he should treat his little Panny, luckily for Retasu, Usagi had stepped in and distracted her brother. Things had gone smoothly after that.

Marron and Ubb were happily married, though they had no children as of yet, they were content and happy to be together, and were happily running a martial arts school on the outskirts of South city. They often would have one of the Z team come in to help give demonstrations or judge competitions. All in all they had settled in nicely.

Surprisingly, these weren’t the only couples that had appeared after that, Spara and Kagus were back together after being separated by Korihi, and had a daughter named Kasha, and a son named Rigu. They had managed to settle quite well working for Capsule Corp, in the ‘specials’ department. Mirai smirked, the ‘specials’ was a department his mother and grandfather had developed specifically for their saiyan friends so that they wouldn’t go bonkers trying to do more domestic style jobs.

Others that had paired up were Barott and Cini, as well as Yamcha and Mame, which had surprised a few of the Z gang, never expecting Yamcha to settle down. Azpa remained the only unattached female Saiyan, but then Tsurara had killed her mate. She herself had barely survived the tearing of their bond, so now she had taken the task of helping raise the growing hoard of Saiyan and Demi-Saiyan children, acting as both Sensei and friend. Or occasionally just getting them out of their parent’s hair for awhile.

Mirai was startled out of his thoughts when Serenity, his Bunny, came beside up beside him and rested her head on his shoulder. The two watching the chibi’s run around in the yard, the Saiyan no Ouji Vegeta their current playmate. Mirai wrapped an arm around her figure pulling her close, his hand unconsciously resting on her stomach, where he sensed a tiny ki growing inside. When this reached his senses, he quickly turned to look at Serenity.

“You.. You.. your…” he stammered utter surprise and glee on his face.

“Yes love, I’m pregnant,” she told him and leaned closer kissing him on the lips. Mirai beamed with pride as he held his wife. Everything was right, and at peace as long as she and their family was safe.
