Ranma 1/2 Z Neo: The Epilogue

Trunks’s Notes
---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---

*An excerpt from Trunks’ Journal*

February 27, 7:34 p.m.

The strangers, the ones who were originally trying to kidnap all of the 
Saiyajins, formerly introduced themselves and apologized today.  
They had been staying in their ship while they recovered from 
the fight. There are three who had no idea of Argos: Jet Stream 
Bolero and his sister Tempo, whom we fought, and the doctor 
Syme Ode, whom we did not.  They explained to us that they 
had been told their world was destroyed by Argos, and that they 
must bring glory to their race... Though, as Jet Stream pointed 
out, Argos probably lied to them, and their planet Zeal is still 
entirely intact.  They mean to leave as soon as they can to find 
out such.  Kidnapping Otousan^ and the Sons was also Argos’s 
idea, probably actually an attempt to provide Argos with more 
energy if necessary.  (When this was mentioned, ’Kaasan^^ 
had to tell ‘Tousan to leave the room.  He was getting to angry.) 
’Kaasan gave the three some advice, and the doctor traded 
information with her for a while.  They plan to leave tomorrow 
for their home planet.

^Father
^^Mother

In other news, the kids from the past have fully recovered their 
strength.  ‘Kaasan tells me it will be impossible to restrain their 
Super Saiyajin abilities again in what little time she has until 
they leave (though she claims she could certainly do so if she 
had more time).  Now, every time they turn SSJ, their 
transformation includes highlights in their hair and a change of 
eye color.  The first time they showed me, I was impressed.  I 
wish I had seen the fight.  Anyway, they plan on going home 
tomorrow.  Akane has spent all of today wondering how to keep 
her father from going frantic over her new ring.  Ranma and 
Ryouga spent today trying out the gravity room again.  ‘Tousan 
wasn’t too pleased that he had to wait another day.  Which 
reminds me, ‘Kaasan explained to him and the others that it 
may take a while for their full SSJ powers to completely return, 
probably another day or two. ~That~ got ‘Tousan really upset.  
Ukyou has meanwhile kidnapped all of Okaasan’s cooking books 
and is reading them as I write, memorizing every new recipe 
she can get her hands on.  I’m tempted to join her.  ‘Kaasan 
won’t let me do much of anything yet; she says it’ll take 
another three days for the talsiovirus to run its course.  And 
now I’ve run out of comic books and manga to read.  I think I’ll 
go work in the lab for a while.  No one will bother me there.

March 1, 8:21 p.m.

This morning I let ‘Kaasan drag me to this old museum.  Actually, I 
couldn’t get out of it, because I’m still not allowed to train yet, 
and she said she thought it would do me good to get outside 
and go somewhere quiet.  Anyway, it turned out to be an 
interesting trip - between all of the re-construction work, there 
were a few good exhibits.  The only really notable one, though, 
was a miniature Grand Piano music box, which plays the most 
remarkable music.  It also sported the sign, and I quote,
	“Owned by the best martial artist of the late 20th and early
	21rst century, Ranma Saotome, given to him by his wife Akane
	as a wedding present.”
Who would have guessed?  Guess they like music.

Author’s notes

Wow, finally finished with the entire Ranma 1/2 Z Neo...  Now what?  
Oh yeah, I think this is where I’m supposed to say my thanks to 
“all the little people” or something like that.  Just kidding.  That 
only works in Hollywood.  So I’ll thank all the major people for 
the help they gave me.  Thanks especially to Tony Chen, for 
starting the idea and allowing me to finish it, and to Fei-kun, for 
all the info he helped me find.  I really wish I could list all the 
names of the people who I met through writing this and became 
friends with, but I kinda have to finish this sometime soon. Still, 
they know who they are.  Also, thanks for every e-mail and 
guestbook entry I’ve gotten - you have no idea until you’ve 
actually written something how much it helps to get fan mail, or 
suggestions, or anything that tells you that people are actually 
reading your work and telling you what they think about it.  I 
hope you (this is to everyone, not just those that have 
responded in some way to my work) have enjoyed this fanfic.  
I guess I only have one thing left to say now:  ‘Bye for now!
