As the dust settled and the last echoes of the battle faded, Dende stood atop the Lookout, feeling the profound sense of relief wash over him. He closed his eyes, reaching out with his senses to confirm what he hoped was true. When he was certain, he turned to the anxious crowd on the lookout.
"The threat has passed. Buu is gone… for good!" His words resonated across the planet, and cheers erupted from everyone on the Lookout and beyond. The skies over Earth seemed brighter, as if the planet itself was celebrating this long-awaited peace.
Krillin, Yamcha, and the others cheered in relief, embracing one another as the tension of the battle finally lifted. Mr. Satan was in tears, laughing as he celebrated alongside his friends.
Meanwhile, Kibito Kai appeared on the Lookout, quickly approaching Dende. "They've fought bravely," Kibito Kai said with admiration, glancing around at the relieved faces. "Are you ready to bring them home?"
Dende nodded. "Yes, please. They need healing."
Kibito Kai placed a hand on Dende's shoulder, and with a flash of energy, they teleported back to the battlefield where Goku, Goten, and the others were recovering, exhausted but triumphant. Kibito Kai offered a hand to each of the fallen warriors as he gathered them, Goten barely awake, leaning on Trunks, who supported him with a proud smile.
In moments, they arrived back on the Lookout, where the rest of their friends waited with open arms. As Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Trunks, and Goten took their first steps onto the Lookout, a wave of gratitude washed over everyone present.
Dende wasted no time, moving to each warrior and placing his hands upon them. Golden healing energy flowed through Dende's hands, restoring them one by one. Vegeta, his usual stoic expression softened, gave Dende a nod of thanks as his injuries vanished. Goku, smiling warmly, reached out a hand to his old friend. "Thanks, Dende. You saved us all."
Gohan, Trunks, and Goten felt their energy return as well, rejuvenated by Dende's healing. When Dende reached Piccolo, Piccolo closed his eyes, placing a hand on Dende's shoulder with a look of pride and gratitude. "Thank you, Dende. You've truly become a great guardian."
With everyone healed and the heroes standing strong once more, they all gathered at the edge of the Lookout, looking over the Earth they had fought so hard to protect. The victory was theirs, and for the first time in a long while, peace had been restored to the universe.
As the celebrations settled down, Goku looked around at his friends, family, and everyone who had fought so hard. With a gentle smile, he addressed them all. "I know I've been gone for a long time, and I'm really sorry for that. But I'm here to stay now. Thanks to Old Kai, I'm alive again, and I don't have to go back. I can stay on Earth for good."
Chi-Chi's face lit up, her eyes shimmering with hope. "So... does that mean... that we can finally be a family of four? You, me, Gohan, and Goten... together?"
Goku nodded, smiling warmly. "Yes, Chi-Chi. We can be together."
Overcome with emotion, Chi-Chi let out a small sob as she threw her arms around him, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Goku... I've missed you so much. We've missed you so much."
Goku wrapped his arms around her, holding her close. "I'm here now, Chi-Chi. And I love you. I love all of you." His voice was steady, reassuring, and filled with genuine warmth.
As the two embraced, Gohan and Goten joined in, forming a family hug that symbolized the strength and love that had kept them all going through so many trials. Their friends looked on, smiling and sharing in the joy of a moment they had all longed to see a peaceful, happy ending for the Son family.
