Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Even the Ruthless Fall in Love ❯ Beyond Death ( Epilogue )

Disclaimer: It's MY EPILOGUE! I am not going to say ANYTHING about the fact that I do not own or claim to own DragonBall Z or any of it's characters! So there!

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

*Sniffles* First, I want to say.. thank you everybody. Thanks my awesome-ness reviewers, no matter how few of you there were. You helped me through the drudgery of writer's block, along with the help of my dog and the other various items of interest in my room. Oh yeah, and my music. Thank you lord for old Pokemon CDs! (don't even ask!) I wanna thank my friends, Colin-chan, Tyler, Matt, Wes mah big bwodda, Gena, Lewis (THANK YOU!), Claire, all those lil people, and my online friends. Ian, you probably won't read this but good luck in the navy and remember me! ^_^ THANK YOU to my daddy, who watched all those darn episodes of DBZ with me and cheered and cried right along with me.. You know, I haven't seen my dad cry that often, but those tears flew on "Final Atonement"! Thanks dad for giving me a thumbs up when I told you about my story ideas, and for keeping me going when I fell into a rut on ETRFIL. Thanks to everybody who listened when I went on about my crazy novel, and thanks to my mom who supported my writing in every way possible except reading it (thank god, she was satisfied with the fact she didn't know jack about DBZ.) Finally, I want to give a huge thanks to my Black Notebook. Thanks, friend. That little notebook went through everything with me. My mom seriously thought I'd lost it when I carried my Black Notebook against my chest wherever I went, my little blue Pilot G2-07 gel pen (best pen in the world, by the way) who never died before I finished something. The notebook who never got lost, the notebook who never ripped or got wet. One more! I want to thank all the other fanfic writers out there. Keep striving for the best! Don't give up, and keep on with your stories!

FORTY-SEVEN PAGES, THIRTY-THREE THOUSAND, EIGHT HUNDRED AND FORTY-FOUR WORDS!

Thanks MediaMiner.org, FanFiction.net, and my computer! Thanks KiKi!

EVEN THE RUTHLESS FALL IN LOVE: Epilogue - Beyond Death

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

He felt like he had been traveling for days. Ascending slowly through the clouds, the sun coming and passing at an unknown rate. He went over the events leading to his death in his mind, but settled on the fact he would soon be with her.

Radditz rose through an immensely thick cloud, coming to an involuntary stop. He had been drifting mindlessly for who knows how long, but now before him a long line stretched for what seemed like miles. Spirit after spirit chittered and chattered, their little white bodies dancing as they waited not-so-quietly in line. The Saiyan, uncharacteristically, stood patiently as the procession advanced.

What felt like more days upon days, he slowly drifted closer to a large building. The spirits ahead of him entered it eagerly, and Radditz followed suit.

The inside was built for a giant, and Radditz soon realized why when he approached a gigantic desk. High above him rose a red, pudgy face, complete with a thick, black beard and short, goatlike horns.

"Ah-HAH! You must be Radditz!" The giant boomed, peering over the desk at the tiny, long-haired warrior. "Well, no matter. I am King Yemma, and you have caused quite a great deal of trouble on Earth!" King Yemma remarked. His voice rumbled so loudly, Radditz could almost feel his eardrums bleeding. If he were still capable of such things, that is.

He nodded silently, not particularly eager to pick a fight with the gigantic ogre.

"You know where you are headed, right?" Radditz gave him one more nod, his chance at seeing Khune slipping away quickly. King Yemma cleared his throat, drawing the tiny, black-haired Saiyan's attention. "But... There is a request from Heaven, that was signed and enforced by King Kai himself. There is someone who wants to see you. I will let you go into heave for ONE hour while I tally your deeds," the giant said, pointing to a large gate just outside his office. Radditz resisted the urge to grin like a gleeful little boy, as he was led to the entrance.

Heaven was a beautiful place. Fountains of red wine and green trees covered the vast expanse, flowing grass and well-kept trails. Spirits played and chattered and laughed, causing the warrior to wince. Disgusting.

"Radditz?" Came a small, familiar voice. The long-haired Saiyan glanced around, searching for the source of the sweetly memorable sound. But, he could see nor sense nothing.

Suddenly, from behind a tree, leapt a gorgeous, green-haired, white-robed Khune. Her mane was cropped wildly around her face, her bright, emerald eyes like daggers of jade fire. Silently she ran to him, Radditz squeezing her in a tight embrace. They stood in peace for what seemed like eternity, a blissful eternity, as she remembered every carouse of his body. He buried his face in his mate's hair, her skimpily robed breasts nestling into his relaxed stomach. They were one as they stood, drawing the attention of the nearby ogres. They watched in amazement, most of them mildly filled in on the recent events on Earth. This was the great murderer of Goku? A few snickered at the thought.

"My Khune..." Radditz whispered, drawing Khune away from him briefly, stealing a glimpse into her emblazed eyes.

"I've been waiting behind that tree for ten years, and now you have to leave me so soon," Khune replied, her voice low and sad.

"Oh well! Let's enjoy it while we can," Radditz demanded, an evil smirk taking control of his face. She sneered back as they walked off, arm-in-arm, tails dancing and weaving around each other in an endless ballet.

The ballet of life.

It was short. So sue me.

Wait! No! Er.. Sue me if you want. You won't get alot out of me. ^_^

I'll miss these guys so much.. sooo sooo much. Maybe I'll write a short interlude or something about one of the mostly uncovered parts. ^_^ The sequel.. *coughs* is being written. It won't be easy, I'm hoping to make the chapters longer. Perhaps one 10 page chapter per week or something... Am I really that industrious? Who knows. I want the next one to be longer, better, and more in depth. I was reading my first chapter and realized how much my writing evolved over the course of this whole story.

But in truth, Even the Ruthless Fall in Love was my real masterpiece, my heart. I'll pour as much of that heart into my other stories as is possible, but my devotion will always remain to Radditz and his fiery mate, Khune.

Oh and by the way, I have some fanart attached to the story ^_^ It's called "A Little Protective?" and it's a picture of Radditz holding Ona as a baby. I've also got a series of Ona pix coming out... In the sequel, she has an EXTREMELY skimpy outfit which I actually had way too much fun drawing in school.. Come on, pretty much all my good friends are boys, and they really seem to appreciate my Ona sketches ;)

Aishiteru to ya all!! Thanks for reading, please review... Look at all my other fan fictions and fan art!
