Part 8 of 8: The Finale...

Midori: Ok... (closes her eyes) Be gentle... (exposes a shoulder)

Goten drools, Gohan and Trunks looks away, Vegeta looks irrated, Piccolo seems unfazed.

Vegeta: Get serious!

Suddenly, Midori is instantly right on Vegeta, her mouth is beside his ear...

Midori: Oh, but I am serious...

Midori steps back from Vegeta pulling the crystal dagger from his gut.

Trunks: Otou-san!

Vegeta: Ugh... Just a scratch. I'm fine!

Midori: Then let's do some more scratching!

Midori stabs at Vegeta's face, but he dodges. She follows through with a side swipe to the face, but that's dodged too.

Goten: Should we help him?

Trunks: No. Otou-san wouldn't want that... We'll just prevent her from escaping.

Meanwhile, Goku and Brolli are locked hand in hand...

Brolli & Chi Chi: Wake up Goku! I'm your wife!

Bulma: (smoking a cigarette now) There's something very disturbing about this scene...

Goku headbutts Brolli, then punches his face.

Brolli & Chi Chi: You hit me... Oh, you're a dead man...

Brolli punches back, and an exchange of punches occur.

Back at Midori... A standoff. Vegeta breathes heavily, still bleeding from the stab wound...

Midori: It can't be good to move around like that with an open wound...

Vegeta: Shut up!

Suddenly, Goku and Brolli blow past them continuing the exchange of blows.

Midori: Hmmmm...

Midori runs after them.

Piccolo: Stop her!

Gohan, Goten, and Trunks appear in front of her in fighting positions. Midori stops her legs, but continues to slide along the ground. Her free hand is held back and a swirl of energy envelops it. She pushes that hand foward firing a dispersing blast. The guys cover their heads by crossing their arms in front of their faces to fully block it. Then, as they lower their arms again to look, Midori puts one hand on Trunks' shoulder, and using foward momentum to flip over him, then continues to run.

Midori: I'll play with you guys later! (blows them a kiss)

Piccolo flies past them.

Piccolo: Come on!

They follow suit.

Goku and Brolli are in a standoff. Goku stares down and off to the side. Brolli, looks flustered and breathes hard.

Brolli/Chi Chi: Damnit... I should have trained more...

Midori comes rushing in and slaps Goku on the back.

Midori: Touch! (a vague allusion lol) Your turn!

Goku turns around as Piccolo, Gohan, Trunks, and Goten arrive... Midori hides behind him.

Piccolo: Dammit! Not again...

Goku lunges at Piccolo, and they start to exchange blows. The fight moves them further away, and Gohan, Goten, and Trunks follow looking to join in.

Midori: Hehehe...

Suddenly, Brolli grabs Midori by the back of her yukata and lifts her up. Midori turns her head back to look at him...

Brolli/Chi Chi: Second wind.

Midori kicks and struggles, swinging her arms wildly, but cannot loosen Brolli's grip.

Brolli/Chi Chi: Haha! It's no use... I can do this all day...

Midori: No fair! Hiding behind this puppet!

Brolli/Chi Chi: And just what were you doing with my Goku?

Midori: (yells) #%$$%^$%^&%!!!!! (censored... lol)

Elsewhere, everyone looks in towards the general direction of Midori and Brolli but only sees bird fleeing the trees.

Back with Midori, Brolli has slammed her into the ground, and lifts her up with one hand again.

Brolli/Chi Chi: Little girls shouldn't use such language...

Midori: (hanging limp) You have no idea who you're messing with... Bitch!

Midori swings around to jam the blade of her knife into Brolli's arm.

Brolli/Chi Chi: Useless. I don't feel the pain.

Midori swings back the other way to pull the knife out and twirls right out the yukata and drops to the ground. In a blur she lunges at Brolli and elbows him in the gut, then follows through by striking him with the back of her fist, and follows that with an upper cut using the hilt of her knife. The yukata flies into the air as Brolli falls back, and Midori leaps into the air and twirls back into the yukata. She lands back on the ground, one foot first, and tightens her yukata. Brolli gets back up.

Brolli/Chi Chi: Didn't hurt!

Midori: Hmph! Then let's just cut the strings...

Midori points her crystal blade directly at Brolli... With a couple of wrist movements she cuts into the air creating two energy arcs that lock together in an x shape. The arcs stays in midair then Midori cups her other hand around it and brings it down to her side... Energy starts swirling between the arcs and her hand...

Brolli/Chi Chi: Crap! How do I do that now? Bulma! Don't tell me to hold my horses!

Midori: Baka...

Midori fires the energy ball at Brolli.

Brolli/Chi Chi: Shit!

Brolli manages to stop the ball with his two hands, but it continues to drill into him.

Brolli/Chi Chi: You got it? Thanks Bulma!

Suddenly, the entire place is filled with a green light, then it all contracts down to a green ball of energy around Midori's attack... Then it all explodes in his hands and a cloud of smoke and dust cover the area...

Midori: Huh... She blew it up herself?

From the smoke, Brolli emerges at full speed catching Midori off guard. He grabs both her wrists and they fly through the forest until he slams her into a cliffside. This knocks the knife out of her hand and she lets out a smile of pleasure...

Brolli/Chi Chi: I think I'm better at using physical attacks...

Midori: And it's so much more enjoyable... But all good things must come to an end...

Midori arches her head back and closes her eyes... The crystal blade lets out a pulse of energy while lying on the ground nearby... She tilts her head back down and opens her eyes, and they glow a bright red... Her hair starts to fly up as a dark aura surrounds her...

Midori: Play time's over.

Midori leaps into the air and forces Brolli to slam into the cliffside to let her go. Landing on the other side, she points out two fingers with her right hand, and they start to glow. With them, she twirls around and draws a magical symbol into the air... Then she places both hands open in front of her and the symbol glows brightly...

Midori: Been fun!

WIth a yell, the symbol lets loose a giant beam of energy that engulfs Brolli.

Back at the lakeside...

Bulma: Hey Chi Chi... What's going on now?

Chi Chi: No, no, no, no, nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

The helmet blows knocking Chi Chi down... On the screen of the helmet reads "GAME OVER".

Bulma: This can't be good...

Back at Midori... She's breathing hard... Standing in front of the former cliff which now just a pile of rubble...

Midori: Whew... That sure took a lot of energy...

Just then, three Super Saiya-jins drop in, but they ignore Midori as Goku catches up. The four of them start fighting again as Piccolo shows up to join in the melee. Midori ignores all this as she is preoccupied, looking for something on the ground.

Vegeta: Looking for this?

Vegeta stands in front of Midori, one hand holding her knife, the other nursing his wound.

Midori: Yes! Gimme!

Midori reaches for it, but Vegeta steps back.

Vegeta: I don't think so!

Vegeta takes the crystal blade and snaps it, shattering it to pieces... A mist leaves the shards...

Midori: NOOOOOOOO!!!!

She drops to the ground over the pieces of the blade...

Back at the fight, Goku's eyes return to normal.

Goku: Huh?

Piccolo punches him in the face sending him flying back.

Goku: Checheche... What did you do that for Piccolo?

Gohan & Goten: Otou-san!

Piccolo: Hmph! So you're finally back to normal?

Goku: Huh? What are you talking about?

Vegeta: Heh, clueless as usual...

Goku: (notices wound) Vegeta!

Vegeta: I'm fine. What are we going to do with that girl?

Goku: What girl?

All but Goku walk to Midori, who has their back to them, still sitting in the same spot.

Goten: (to Midori) Hey, just who are you really?

Midori: I'm...

Midori turns around revealing that she's a wrinkly old woman.

Goten: AHHH!

They all jump back.

Midori: I'm... (looking at her wrinkled hands) outta time... (smiles at them) Bye bye!

Midori crumbles to dust and a gentle wind blows it away...

Trunks: It looks like it's over...

Goku: Hey, just who was she?

Goten: Dad... We're all a little tired right now... Why don't we go home first?

Goku's stomach starts growling.

Goku: I'm starving! Let's go home. Hey! Has anyone seen my shirt?

They all fly off to their respective homes... The crystal shards releases a single pulse of light as the dust continues to blow over them...

Meanwhile... Chi Chi is still lying on the ground wearing the smoking helmet...

Bulma: I wonder where the guys are now?

THE END
-= Epilogue =-

In a dark fortress, Midori sits inside a room with the crystal blade standing on the hilt on a table. The blade gives off a gentle pulsating glow... Midori stares into the knife, but it is suddenly knocked over, and it stops glowing.

Midori: Darn... It's over... (sits back in the chair)

Suddenly, the door opens and a slender but muscular man walks in. Midori quickly stands up and hides the knife behind her back.

Midori: Master!

The Master: Midori, have you seen my... What do you have behind your back?

Midori: Ummm... Nothing...

Master: Hand it over...

Midori hands over the crystal blade to him.

Master: You know you're not supposed to take it.

Midori: Sorry, but I just wanted to have some fun...

Hold the knife by the blade, he bops her on the head with the hilt.

Midori: Ow... (rubs her head)

He smiles and rubs her hair.

Master: Come on... I have a mission for you.

Midori: Is it a fun one?

Master: (gives a smirk) Loads.

Midori: (claps) Oh boy!

They leave the room and disappear into a dark corridor...
