Chapter 3: A Decision and a Beauty

" Goku, surely you have heard of her before. She is Cosmos," the Supreme Kai stated.

Cosmos raised her staff before him in order to silence him, " There is no time for this. You need to make a choice."

" A choice? What kind of choice?" asked Gohan who returned to Goku and Vegeta's sides.

" I have come here in order to save you all from this peril, but there are repercussions of my actions. I have killed Babidi and he no longer controls Buu. Buu on the other hand is a battle of his own. Inside of him a war rages on between good and evil. And in this here lies your choice."

" So what do we have to choose. Hurry up woman," Vegeta barked.

Cosmos eyed him warily before continuing," If I am to leave here now, Buu will continue on and kill off all the people of earth save the Z Senshi. The only ones who shall remain in the end are Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Piccolo. Goku since you are dead you will return to the next dimension and Vegeta will give his life to try to stop him. Unfortunately, the others who remain will be absorbed into Buu's being and he will change once more into something far stronger. Vegeta and Goku will return here to Earth to fight him, but only when they combine by Fusion will they be a match. In the end however they two will be absorbed and the fight will continue on into the next dimension in the land of the dead. Here Buu will eventually be defeated, but not without great loss. All the Earth's people will be restored and life will continue on again. Should you so choose to handle this on your own."

" And what if we don't?" Gohan asked.

" I can easily destroy Buu now and you won't have to go through the trouble of fighting and losing everyone. Should you so choose to accept this however, the future will change to a great extent. You see I technically shouldn't be here and so if I do destroy Buu the future will change."

" How much will it change?" Kai asked.

" Kai, even you know the future is never certain. It may be good or bad. Only time shall tell."

" So we can fight ourselves, lose it all, win, and have everything return. Or we can go the other path and have you destroy him and the future be unclear," Goku said.

Cosmos nodded.

" I say we destroy it ourselves. We don't need a weak woman to fight for us," Vegeta spat.

" So full of hate and pain," Cosmos whispered, leaving not even the Saiyajins hearing her.

Cosmos walked towards Vegeta and kissed his forehead. In the second her lips touched his forehead, all the pain and obstacles he ever went through flashed through her mind and he saw hers. Each saw each other's pain and hard lives they were forced to live. The mark on Vegeta's brow disappeared and he stared deep in her eyes. They remained a deep cerulean and he saw the girl she once was. So perfect. Such an angel in all of this Hell. Such is my Serenity.

Cosmos turned her back on all of them and looked off into the horizon. Everyone was shocked she had done that to Vegeta, but now they felt as though Vegeta was lifted and set free. They saw she had broken the seal over him and even help free some of the tension around him. Goku saw the look on Vegeta's face, which seemed of both shock that she had kissed him in such a way and the recognition of something new, something buried deep inside him.

Cosmos remained turned to the horizon, her back to them and spoke in a soft whisper, " The choice is ultimately yours. You can save the world at the cost of everything you've ever believed in and yet in the end win out. No one will ever know they lost their lives, their entire hopes and dreams shattered like a mirror with the pieces falling into place. They never had that choice, the choice to live on and be free of Time's path. They didn't get to see the world, as they wanted, the peace they created by giving themselves away. The price of ones actions."

A silent tear dripped down her porcelain face, a crystalline reminder of her deep unending pain that she suffers. All couldn't help but feel lost in those tears the simple yet never healing tear of one who has lost all. Her beauty hid some secret inside, where even the light of hope had trouble breaking. What was it she was hiding? What was her true purpose here?

Cosmos quickly steeled herself and wiped her tears away and turned to them and spoke in a stern royal voice," The choice must be made now."

" Supreme Kai what do you suggest?" Gohan asked.

" No doubt she has the power to kill Buu," Kai replied.

" Ha! I'd love to see that," Vegeta laughed.

" Do you mock me mighty Prince?" Cosmos asked roughly.

" I say if you can beat Buu where we couldn't go right ahead."

" I must admit I'd love to see your power Cosmos," Kai said.

" Then I guess it's settled. Cosmos take it away," Goku said in his carefree voice.

" As you wish," Cosmos bowed.
