1 more day till the party

Trunks POV

I heard the birds chirping from the window outside as I started to wake up from my slumber. I stretched my upper body then looked over to see Shanae still sleeping on the bed. I got up from the bed and went over to her right side of the bed to see she was in a disgruntled mood. I tried to pat on her shoulder but she turned around and started struggling around in the blankets making me worried for her. "N-no get away!" Shanae said quietly as she turned again then started cry and power up as I got on top of the bed to hold her as she struggled more. "Shanae wake up! Your power level is off the charts!" I said as she struggled more and shouted, "I don't want to be your pawn anymore! Please don't hurt them! I just want all of us to be free!" As I held her shoulders together and shook her hard until she woke up. "Shanae it's just a dream wake up!" I said as she opened her eyes looking at me at a horrified feeling then started crying as I hugged her tight stroking her hair. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't want you guys to be involved in this." "It's ok Shanae. It was just a nightmare. Do you want me to get you breakfast to calm you down?" I asked as she nodded then pat her head and went out the room to see if anyone was up. I went downstairs to the kitchen to see Pepper cooking nonstop as she just put some of the food on the plate. "Oh hey Trunks!" "Hey." "How did you sleep?" "I slept fine thank you." "Cool. Did you need something? Because Im almost done cooking for everyone." "Oh nothing. I just wanted to know if you had breakfast for Shanae." I asked as Pepper turned around with a concerned look. "Yes I made breakfast for Shanae. Is something wrong? Is she ok?" "She's fine. She just had a nightmare that's all." "A nightmare?! What was it about?!" Pepper said worriedly as I calmed her down the  said, "She didn't specify what it was about but she did say that she didn't want to be someone's pawn anymore and also that she just wanted everyone to be free." As Pepper looked at me horrified then sighed and said, "This is more serious than I thought." "Is something the matter?" "Oh no. It's nothing to worry about." "Are you sure?" "Yeah." Pepper replied as I nodded then she gave Shanae and I our breakfasts as I teleported upstairs to see Shanae still on the bed sleeping.

I put the food down on the table as I went to Shanae to wake her up softly by gently shaking her as she woke up slowly then looked at me with blind eyes. "Is someone there?" Shanae said as she reached out to me and touched my face the. I spoke up saying, "It's just me Shanae." "Oh. Hello." Shanae said cheerfully as I smiled then I helped her up the bed. "Did you get the breakfast you wanted?" "Oh yeah I did. I also got yours to!" "Oh thank you." Shanae said her eyes changed then got her breakfast from the table then started to eat. "So...what do you usually do?" "I first start my day off by going to my therapist but today she's coming to the house because...well...you know why." "That's cool. Can I meet your therapist?" "S-sure. She's very nice and actually understands what I'm going through." "Cool!" I said as she blushed then finished eating saying, "I then have to do the invitations today. Lastly, I'm in my room just doing my hobbies like art and writing in my secret diary." Shanae said as she got out her diary from her pillow. "You have a diary?" "Yeah. I got it from someone very special to me before he...well...passed, but he gave me to always write down my thoughts and feelings. I actually want to become a writer for anything when I get the chance." Shanae said as she looked away then got up from the bed and put the dishes on the table. "I can give you a job at my company." "Um ok. What are the requirements?" "You just have to show me your skills so I can determine what position you stand in." "Oh. Let me get some out about engineering and Science." Shanae said as she went to the wardrobe and pulled down a figurine to open a secret door on the bedroom wall as I looked in awe. "I know. It's kind of surprising but this is where I keep the books I wrote." "That's amazing." I said as she gestured me to come inside the room as it held many stacks of books in alphabetical order. "The books range from when I was 11 all the way to the present. Let me just find what I'm looking for." Shanae said as she jumped onto the ladder and started looking for the books scanning each section until she finally found it and climbed down. She then gestured me to the table as I followed her then sat down in one of the seats in front of her.

"This is the book I wrote down when I took and engineering summer class. It's been long but I actually remember a lot of it due to my listening skills." Shanae said as she opened the book and showed me the whole context as I read the book to see she actually does have some writing potential. "Woah! That's a lot of information you wrote down." "I also did some experiments and wrote down in this book." Shanae explained as she gave me the science book. I then borrowed it from her and started to read to see so many new information about many experiments like using apple juice with many vehicles or reversing many mental illnesses. "This is phenomenal! This could actually change the world!" I exclaimed as Shanae looked at me smiling then asked her, "Why don't you show it to the world? This could change everything." "Actually...I'd like to keep things secret because you know that big organizations are making money off those illnesses and non renewable sources. If I showed them this stuff, they could try to kill me because they don't want other consumers going after my stuff and lose money."  As I held her hands together and looked at her sternly while she looked away a bit scared. "Shanae...do you...trust me?" I said as Shanae looked at me worriedly saying, "Y-yes I do." "Then why do you still resent?" I questioned her as she looked away for a moment then answered quietly saying, "I...just...can't really trust anything anymore. After that multiverse tournament fiasco, I just don't know what trust is anymore. Vegeta beating me up, everyone just...not looking at me the same way anymore, Kayle siding with my sister, it just doesn't stop. Look, to be honest...I just can't trust anyone or even myself anymore due to me making too many mistakes and lying to all of you. M-maybe I should go, sorry for wasting your time." Shanae said as she got up to leave but I stopped her holding her hand gently saying, "W-wait a second Shanae. Sorry for asking you that question. Maybe we could discuss it another time when you're ready?" As Shanae nodded then we heard knocking on the door from the room as Shanae grabbed my hand and then rushed out of the room then closed the secret room and opened the room door to see it was Pepper. "Shanae? What's got you so worked up?" "O-oh nothing." "Are you sure?" "You guys didn't do anything...risky didn't you?" "No!" I said as Pepper laughed then said, "I'm just kidding! But anyway your therapist is here to see you now." "Oh! Tell her I'll be ready in just a minute." "Ok!" Pepper said as she closed the door then Shanae went to the bathroom and closed it while I waited for her to come out.

Shanae POV

I took off my clothes then went into the shower and started cleaning myself up as I was deep into my thoughts thinking about the dreams I keep having. 'Why do I keep having these dreams?! Why do my friends have to get involved?!' I kept thinking about the questions in my head as the voices started to creep up inside my head.
"You're useless!"
"You're weak!"
"Your sister is better than you!"
"Kill yourself!"
"Killer!"
"Monster!"
The voices in my head started getting louder as I washed off the soap then turned off the water quickly as the voices rang in my head. "Shut...up." I said to myself as the voices got louder and louder making me hold my head in pain.
"Killer!"
"Die!"
"Useless!"
"Do as I say!"
"You're Nothing!"
"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP! I JUST WANTED TO SAVE EVERYONE!" I shouted as I slammed my fist onto the bathroom sink making some cracks as the the voices from the past came to haunt me.
"Don't talk back!"
"Wretched Saiyan!"
"Know your place!"
"PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE! SHUT THE HECK UP!" I shouted again as I grabbed the nearest thing and threw it at the wall shattering as I fell to the ground in a curled position. "Shut...it. Leave me alone." I said quietly as I started to breathe unevenly making me not hear anything but the voices.

Trunks POV

I heard the door open as I saw a woman in a white long sleeved shirt with black pants and heels as I realized it was Shanae's therapist. "Oh hello!" "Um Hello. You must be Shanae's therapist right?" "I sure am, and you must be Trunks. Shanae told me all about you." The therapist said as I chuckled and blushed while she smiled but then suddenly we heard something break as I rushed to the bathroom only to see Shanae on the ground in a fetal position. "Shanae! Are you alright?!" I said as I rushed to her aid carrying her upper body to try and calm her down as her breathing was uneven and short. "Shanae?! Can you hear me?!" I said as she in disarray and irritation as I stroked her head making her look at me then hugging me quickly saying, "I never wanted this to happen to you or anyone else. I'm so sorry." "Deep breaths Shanae. Just don't say anything right now. Focus on your breathing." I said to her as she started to breathe slowly and evenly then eventually looked at me with a tired state. "Are you ok?" "Y-yeah. Just a bit tired." "Are you sure?" "Yes." Shanae answered as I helped her get up from the ground then wrapped a towel around her body.

'Something is very wrong with Shanae. One time she's happy and open, but now she's all secretive and depressed.' I thought as I lead Shanae out of the bathroom and to her wardrobe to change into her casual clothes. "You can change by yourself right?" Shanae's therapist asked as Shanae nodded then closed the door quietly and started changing. "I just don't get it. Why is Shanae so quiet today?" "I know how you feel dear. I want to tell you the information but you know my job is very private. Someday she'll open up to you and you'll have all the information you need." As I nodded then Shanae came out of the wardrobe in her casual attire blushing a bit as she went to the bed and sat down looking down. "Hello Shanae. Is something the matter?" "N-no Dr. Athenia. I was just tired that's all." "Was that a lie?" "...yes." "Is something bothering you?" "I guess it has something about the voices in my head." "What voices?" "The voices from the past. They always come back to haunt me even when I try to forget about them." Shanae said as Dr. Athenia wrote something down in her journal. "Could you tell me what the voices say to you?" She said as Shanae nodded then answered, "It always tells me that I'm a monster, killer, nothing, and that I should just die. It also tells me to not talk back or do anything at all as I need to obey." As Dr. Athenia wrote down the notes then Shanae sighed and hugged her knees together. "Did you remember the exercises I gave you to calm down?" As Shanae shook her head saying, "I didn't have time to apply them in all honesty." "That's ok. We can try again help you get used to it." "Ok." Shanae replied as she smiled a bit then I walked to the door and opened it then left the room for Shanae to continue her session.

Shanae POV

I saw Trunks go out my room as I then turned back to Dr. Athenia who was looking at me smugly. "Is he the boyfriend you were talking about?" "U-uh I well? He's my um boyfriend no! We're just friends that's all!" I replied blushing madly then covered my face in embarrassment as tshe said, "That's what they all say. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me." As I groaned in embarrassment making Athenia laugh. "Can we just go on with the session?" I said still covering my face as Athenia said, "ok but don't let that get to you ok?" "Ok." As I then uncovered myself then we started talking about what I'm doing now and how I've been taking the news from the Inauguration. "Even though I can't have children, I still have my friends to support me in my worst times. My dream was to live life the way I want but I have to deal with a lot of obstacles like fellow time patrollers trying to kill or taunt me, my close ones turning against me, and also breaking everyone's promise but it's only because I have many important things to do." I explained as she wrote down all the things she said then Athenia spoke up saying, "Ok so your goal overall was just to enjoy life to the fullest but you're dealing with major stress factors affecting your health." "That's about it." "Shanae dear, that's not good for you. Letting stress take over you is just too much for your physical well being." "Oh. I thought that it was a good thing." "It never was a good thing to begin with! Who even told you that anyway?" Athenia asked me as I got scared scooting away from her because I didn't want to talk about him anymore. "Shanae please. You have to tell me who told you that statement." "...my father. He told me many things like I was his punching bag or that in order for me to like him, I had to be a good little girl and obey what he said. Same ideology went with my private school teacher...she...I hated her with a passion and still do to this day. She told me that...I was...just." I tried to get the sentence out but I didn't know I had electricity around me as the therapist called out to me saying, "Shanae, Shanae! You're powering up again!" As I didn't hear anything but static and trickling. 'I hate her! She always had it out for me! I never want to say her name again!' I thought of the horrible things she did to me not realizing I was being shaken as I then heard a muffled voice saying my name. It got louder and louder until it became a clear voice making me realize it was Pepper as I looked at her in shock while she was in worry.

"Pepper?" "Shanae! I was so worried! You were powering yourself up. Is something wrong?" Pepper asked as I looked away in shame then replied, "I was thinking of her again." "Who?" "My private school teacher Ms. Green." "That woman?! Shanae she's not gonna hurt you anymore. You're an adult now and shes very old!" "I know...but...you know what forget everything I said." I said as Pepper looked at me sternly.

Pepper POV

"Shanae. I've been meaning to ask you something for a long time." "What is it?" Shanae replied as I sighed then said, "What did they do to you in that rehabilitation center back at the Olympus realm?" I asked as Shanae paled and looked away saying, "I thought I told you guys they fixed me." "That's what you've been saying, but you didn't specify what they actually did." "And that's what I'll keep saying, they fixed me nothing more." "Shanae I know they did something to you that made you different. Just...please tell us so we know what to do." I said as Shanae looked at me then looked down saying, "I guess there's no turning back now. The rehabilitation center they sent me after the...incident...they always said I was never fit to be an descendant and that I was doomed to die a painful death. Then...Okara...she would always ruffle my my head and then the next thing the memories of me murdering my classmates would always come up time to time." "I knew it!" I said as Shanae jumped then I said, "Sorry to shout like that, is it ok that I take your therapist for a bit?" "Um sure." Shanae replied as me and Dr. Athenia went out the room then into the kitchen where Shasai and Aphrodite were. "We finally made a breakthrough." "Really?! Please do tell!" Shasai said as we both sat down and got ourselves settled. "So what's the breakthrough you made with Shanae?" "I asked her about her time in that wretched rehabilitation center back at the Olympus realm after that... massacre back at that charter school." "Didn't Shanae say we don't about that as she was fixed by them?" "Yeah but I made her tell the truth about what really happened." "So what did you get out of it?" Shasai said as Athena said, "She said that when she was in that place, they would always tell her she was doomed to fail from the start and then her sister Okara would strangely ruffle her hair and the next thing she knew, she saw the memories of herself murdering her classmates. It's like she's reliving that scenario over and over again causing a memory lapse in her head." As I spoke up saying, "And that's the main piece to my theory! Those people didn't fix her at all!" As I stood up and punched the wall hard making a hole so deep that it reached the other side. "Pepper calm down dear. We've got the information we finally needed to justify her behavior." "How can I calm down when those people hurt my best friend?! They're treating her like she's some sort of criminal! They tortured her, violated her, heck they might've brainwashed her making who she is today!" I shouted as my husband and others came into the room except Shanae. "Pepper, are you ok?!" My husband said as he hugged me while I was still fuming then I heard Trunks speak up saying, "Wait what's happening?" "It's nothing dear. You can go try to help Shanae get settled a bit. She might be worried sick." Shasai said as she pushed Trunks out of the room while she grabbed Zamasu and Gogeta and told them to try and get the others settled.

I then closed the door then went to the table and calmed down then spoke saying, "Now that's been settled, let's continue where we left off." As Shasai nodded then said, "So about the things you said about what the rehabilitation center did to Shanae, they didn't even fix her at all?! Did they really do all those things to her?!" "Yes." "Actually I think I now know Okara's hidden power." Athena said as we all listened to her statement. "When I heard about Shanae getting her hair ruffled by Okara, you said that she would relive those memories again and again right?" "Yeah I suppose so." "Then my theory is justified." Athena said as Aphrodite said, "What theory?" Then came the shocking conclusion about Okara.

"Okara has a memory tampering ability."

Timeskip to when the therapy was over

Shanae POV

"I guess that was my therapy session for the day." I said as I got up from the bed and got the supplies from the closet. Then, I opened the door with my leg then went downstairs to the living room as I started to get the supplies out of the box and started making the invitations. "Dear, are.you making the invitations without us?" I heard Shasai said as I stopped and accidentally dropped the scissors then looked at Shasai scared. "Shasai! You scared the heck out of me. Sorry, I didn't want to bother you. I'd just thought you guys would show up eventually." "Dear, we don't mind you telling us. Sorry I scared you by the way but just let us know when you're doing something that involves us." Shasai said as I nodded then she sat down with me and got some part of the supplies and started doing the invitations. Then I saw Pepper and Trunks come into the room and help us make the cards for the universal new years party. "So what's the theme for the party?" I heard Pepper say as I replied with, "It's actually a favorite topic of mine." "Which is?" "Memory." I said as Pepper smiled widely then said, "I like the theme! So basically we're going to go over our favorite memories?" "Yeah. Because I want you guys to take a moment to let yourself learn from the past and how you guys are here today." I said as Shasai smiled then we continued to create invitations for the party tomorrow. "That reminds me, I need to tell you guys that I got all of our new years clothing set up for tomorrow." I said as Pepper was surprised then said, "When did you do it?" "I kind of did it when you guys would sleep so I would measure you then take it to a tailor to make your clothes." As Shasai looked at me weirdly then said, "Shanae. You realize that we might have...you know...changed figures." "I got it under control because I only made then 2 inches bigger just in case." I said as Shasai sighed in relief then said, "You're just like him Shanae. Quiet and prepared." "Yeah." I said as I looked down then Trunks said, "May I ask? Whose "him"?" As I blushed then looked away then said, "I...well...he's a relative of mine." "What's his relationship with you?" "It's private. Look, I don't want to talk about him because...well...his death was a pretty hard hit for me. But I made a promise to him to keep living and try to help solve the mystery." As Trunks looked at me with sympathy then said, "Sorry for troubling you." "It's fine. Anyway we havea few more to do." "Right." Trunks said as we all continued to make more invitations.

Timeskip to when they finish and when more people came to help

After a long time, we finally finished all the invitations as we were all exhausted then I spoke up saying, "I'm gonna call the others to deliver the invitations. Whose gonna do delivery duty for out universe?" As Shasai said, "I'll do it." "I'm coming with you know." Zamasu said as I gave her the bag then she and Zamasu teleported away. Nanka called Shade and Musai as they teleported here to take 2 of the bags for 2 universes. Zucchi and Ginger also came to the house to take 2 bags each for 4 universes. I then took the rest of them to the Conton City universal portal as I put one each for each universe then went back to the house. "Is everything delivered?" "Yes dear." "Good! Now we can take a break because I'm exhausted." "We all are. What time is it even?" Pepper said as I looked at my watch to see it was only 3:00 PM. "We've got enough time to try and rest for the day." I said as we all smiled then went back to our rooms to take a nap.

Vegeta POV

"Vegeta babe, could you please go outside to get the mail?" "Ok." I replied as I went outside the house all the way to the mailbox to see some envelopes and one strange looking envelope. I took them all into the house and laid them al on the table as I went through them sorting Kayle's mail but then 1 card surprised me as I took it from the stack and looked to see it was an invitation to some new years party. "Hey Kayle, were you expecting an invitation to a party or something?" "No why?" "There's one for a universal new years party tomorrow." "What does that mean?" Kayle said as she walked into the room as I opened the invitation to see that it was a party for all the universes back from the multiverse tournament. "This is interesting." "Yeah but I just need to ask them one question." I said as I went to the phone to call Shasai as she didn't pick up. "What were you going to ask her?" "Nothing babe." "I'm serious, what were you going to ask her?" Kayle said sternly as I sighed then said, "I was going to ask her if Shanae was going to be there because I don't want to meet her again. If she is then I'm just gonna kill her." As Kayle looked at me angrily then said, "What have I told you about harassing her and Trunks. If she's gonna be there, then just don't go at all!" "But I really want to see the universes but I don't want to see her at all." "Then don't go at all!" Kayle said as I got a but angry then just said, "You know what, I'll go to the party but I will not interact with Shanae nor Trunks." "Why can't you talk to Trunks?" "He just needs some space." "What did you do to him?!" "I didn't do anything! I just wanted to talk to him and all of a sudden he got angry at me. Look let's not get ahead of ourselves and just enjoy the rest of the day." "Fine." Kayle said as she walked away making me sigh in relief.

"What are you hiding wretch?"

Timeskip to night time

Trunks POV

"These books are very sophisticated." "Yeah. That's how my mind works." Shanae said as she carried some books in hand then put it in the book bag. "This should be enough for you to read." Shanae said as she gave me the book bag as I smiled but looked away because I still couldn't get my mind off about the incident. "Is something wrong?" "N-no not at all." I said frantically as Shanae looked at me and said, "Are you still reluctant over me?" "N-no I just-" "Trunks. I already know what's on your mind. It's alright if you still can't look me in the eye. We can try again in like...a few years. If Vegeta doesn't separate us." Shanae said quietly as she looked at the time and said, "Oh would you look at that. It's time for you to go home." As she took my hand outside the library and then closed the room. "I got you the books, and now it's time for you to go back to your mother. She might be worried sick about you." "R-right." I said as she opened the window and helped me fly out. "Oh! I forgot something." I said as Shanae looked at me confused. "What did you forget?" Shanae said as I took her hands together and said, "I've been meaning to promise you something." "Which is?" "I promise to protect you from any harm and to make you happy." As Shanae smiled and said, "I also promise to try and be more open and be more positive." As I smiled also then waved at her and flew off to my house.

'I just hope we both keep our promises.' I thought to myself as I flew down onto the ground and started to walk. Suddenly I felt a familiar ki flying towards me as I quickly dodged out of the way. "What the hell?!" I said as I got up and got into a fighting stance. "Who are you?!" I said as the guy turned around and said, "You want to be Saiyan, then let's act like Saiyans." As I then realized it was my father. "Dad! What are you doing here?!" "Remember how you acted yesterday? You wanted to act all grown up and now I'm giving it to you." Vegeta said as he charged at me with a punch but I blocked it throwing it out of the way and jumped away. "Dad I don't want to fight you!" "That's too bad because you have no choice." He said as he charged at me again making me charge at him punching him but he grabbed my arm and threw me on the ground. He then threw me again to a line of trees making me slam onto a boulder hard coughing up saliva. He's...too strong.' I thought as I tried to get up but then Vegeta kneed me me in the stomach hard making me cough up blood and yell out in pain. "What's wrong huh?! You wanted to act like a Saiyan and now you're getting it!" Vegeta said as he grabbed my face and slammed me onto the ground. He then started to punch me while holding my neck as I kept spitting out blood then for what seemed forever I saw someone push dad off me.

"Leave. Him. Alone!" I heard a familiar voice say as I got up slowly to see Shanae in front of me with her arms spread out. "Oh so now you want to protect that boy. The one who you embarrassed back at the multiverse tournament?!" "He had the right to be embarrassed! I was the one who acted out! He has nothing to do with any of this!" Shanae yelled out as I spoke up saying, "Shanae...no." "Trunks don't worry, I'm fine. You want only me right? I'm here so you can take all your anger out on me." "No...Shanae! I promised to protect you." "I don't want to see you get treated by your father like this. Nobody deserves that kind of treatment." Shanae said as Vegeta smirked then went up to me and said, "It's best to listen to what she says if you don't want to get hurt further. And also, give those books back to that wretch or I'll make you." As I looked at him angrily and said, "Never in your life." "Vegeta stop! It's me you want! Leave him alone." Shanae said as she pulled him but in return she got slapped hard onto the ground making her yelp. "Shanae!" "N-no worries. I'm fine." She said as she got up then Vegeta grabbed her arm and said, "Now as I said yesterday, you're coming with me." as he took her away from the scene making me worried as I slowly got up leaning on a tree.

"Shanae. I promised...you...i'd protect...you...from harm...and i'm gonna...keep it." I said taking breaths as I limped slowly to Shanae's location as I heard her painful yells and the sounds of smacking and pounding. "I'm coming...Shanae." I said weakly as I liked further but then tripped onto the ground hard. I couldn't get up as I was in a great amount of pain from the beating I got earlier as I didn't want Shanae to get hurt anymore. I crawled getting to the scene and the noises getting louder and louder but suddenly it all went silent. I feared something worse happened to her as I crawled more and more to see through the bushes that Shanae was limp and not responsive. I then saw Vegeta grab a rock and go to her raising the rock above his head as I jumped up and ran through the bushes then covered Shanae with my body shielding her from my dad. "Trunks what are you doing?!" "I'm not letting you hurt her." "Move out of the way boy! You have no business here." "Make me!" I said as I looked at him angrily then he said, "Ok. Since you want to be her prince charming, you'll join her to." As he was about hit us with the rock but I shielded Shanae so she wouldn't feel the impact of it. I closed my eyes waiting for the impact to come, but it never came as I heard the rock drop on the ground making me open my eyes to see Gogeta and Zamasu holding Vegeta down while Pepper and Shasai were in front of us. "Pepper, take Shanae and Trunks back to the house." "Right." Pepper said as she teleported both of us back into her room.

Pepper carried me onto the bed an started to heal me while she asked, "Are you guys ok?! Did Vegeta break any type of bone?! What did he do that got you guys like this?!" as she got the med kit and started to patch me up. "Wait I thought you healed me." "I'm growing tired, it's not easy to heal so it just wears me out. I'm giving you these special bandages that heal you in just one day." Pepper said as she finished patching me up then attended to Shanae. "Is she going to be alright?" I asked as she went to feel her pulse then she looked at me with a serious look. "She's fine thankfully. But the problem is that her head needs to be protected because the doctor said she has irreversible brain damage and it could cost her her life if one more hit is directly in this area." Pepper said as she pointed to the top of Shanae's head then started to heal hear wounds. "Luckily, nothing worse happened to her. I just want to...Gah! I just want to punch Vegeta so hard in the face." "Yeah." I said as Pepper finished then started to patch her wounds. "Anyway, how did you guys end up like this?" "It's a long story." I said as Pepper finished patching up Shanae and then sat down exhausted. "Well Shanae gave me some of her books to read at home and helped me go out the house but then Vegeta came out of nowhere and started to fight me. After I was beaten for a bit, Shanae came in the mix trying to defend me. In return...Vegeta beat Shanae up into a pulp." "That explains why Shanae was very bloody." Pepper said as she got up and carried Shanae. " Maybe it's best if you stay here a while because Vegeta might try to pull this stunt again." "But what about my mom?" "I'll tell her what happened don't worry. In the meantime, try to get some rest. We have a huge event tomorrow." Pepper said as she walked away with Shanae then I got up steadily and started to head to Shanae's room also as I opened the door for Pepper then she put Shanae on the bed and covered her up. "It'll take some time but she'll wake up tomorrow." "Ok, thank you and good night." "Night guys." Pepper said as she went out the room smiling leaving me and Shanae in the room. I went up to Shanae and stroked her hair as she was still unconscious. "I told you I kept my promise." I said to her as I went back to the bed and covered myself up. I didn't know what to do tomorrow because all the universes will come tomorrow and I don't know if I have the guts to forgive Shanae anymore. But I can do one thing for her,

"I'll keep my promise to keep her safe from anything that will harm her and protect her till the very end."

Okara POV

"The day is finally here!" I said excitedly as I looked on at my little sisters Shanae and Nanka sleeping in their beds. "I just can't wait for Pepper to come with me so we can use her for our plan." "Shasai would be the great addition for out secret plan with her special gift." I heard Skadi and Saltin say as I looked at them with a smirk. "You guys remember the plan right?" "Of course! We have to make the deaths look like Shanae did it, then her friends will now talk her into her own demise because Shanae is already insane enough." "Or we can get one of her friends to betray her because she can never live it down!" Skadi and Saltin said as I sighed then said, "Actually the plan was to kill off Pepper and Shasai to make it look like an accident and Nanka and Shanae to make it look like they killed themselves." "I thought my plan was better!" "It's obvious my plan is better'?" "Both of you are wrong! My plan is better'!" I said as we all argued then I heard someone say, "That's enough talk! We will discuss this tomorrow and eventually we see how it plays out." As we turned around to see Aiones walking up to us as we both nodded. "You guys will never get them!" I heard one of the prisoners say as I turned around to see my favorite prisoner with an angry look. "Oh? And how will you do that? You're chained up and we've been trying to break you for the past 5 years!" "That's because I still have hope and faith in my sister!" "Tch! Well she's gonna die soon and it will all be in vain." I said as I went up to him and cuffed his cheeks then he tried to headbutt me but I dodged it as I kicked him in the stomach. "Don't even try to fight. It's futile." I said as he coughed then said, "Get...fucked." as I got more angry then went to kick him again but Skadi stopped me as she said, "He's trying to provoke you, don't let him get to you." As I nodded then turned back and said, "I'd like to remind you about who you serve pet."  I said as I walked away to the gang then said "Do you think we might achieve what we've been looking for?" "Yes dear we can finally stop after a long journey of corruption and greed." "Aiones said as I smiled then we all walked away from the room as I said to myself,

"Tonight, we're going to have much fun with the killings of the special 4 and nothing can stop us now!"

The day is almost here, the Universal New Years Party is tomorrow as the gang are set up to meet and interact with other universes. But the thing is though, what will happen to Shasai, Pepper, Shanae, and Nanka at the party now that their fates are decided. Will Trunks keep his promise to Shanae? Will Vegeta ever realize that what he's been doing has been hurting Shanae? Most of all, will Shanae be able to finally tell her secret? But mostly, what were the bad trio planning due to the long journey they took?"
