( Location: The now-restored West City )
Soon to arrive at the location they were flying towards, Mumei, Piccolo, and Gura all watched as someone sat on the now reconstructed concrete ground of an alleyway.
His clothes that were in tatters soon started to quickly fix themselves back to their full glory, now displaying the yellow/orange and blue martial artist Gi similar to the one his father used to sport most of the time.
The black spiky hair that was pretty shorter when compared to the others of his race moved together with the wind a bit wildly as a result of Mumei and the others' auras when they had just descended behind him.
Looking confused at the whole situation the sitting man stood up before turning towards them, the scar plastered on his face that added to the air of a veteran warrior was slightly stretched by his confused expression.
To add further to his puzzlement besides the new addition of the Owl girl he had never seen before in this timeline, a blurry blue figure was swift to dash toward the hybrid.
" GOHAAAAAAN!!!!!! " - Gura flew like a missile towards the man, Gohan almost lost his balance as the small girl gave him a full-on koala-like hug forcing him to almost fall back from the sudden impact.
Laughing to himself at first in awe, Gohan lost his smile when he noticed the river of tears going down the white-haired girl's face. - " Thank God…. Thank God…. You are alive…. Thank God…. "
Gently patting her head as he let her get everything she had been holding until now out, meanwhile, his eyes moved towards his old mentor and friend as well as the new one he had never seen before, strangely he couldn't feel anything resembling Ki from her.
But the presence she bore told him more than enough, she was strong. Maybe even stronger than his father's current self he encountered in the afterlife.
" Ey, Lil'Gohan. Not so small now heh. " - Gone was her usual grin, replaced with a more warm smile as she reminiscenced herself about the time she spent with her timeline Gohan. Waving a hand to the all-grown-up version in front of her as the same displayed a complicated face.
She liked the brat quite a lot, so seeing him all grown up made her particularly proud to see this version of him that frankly turned out to be the best definition of a Hero.
Gohan's gaze turned towards Piccolo as if asking who their new guest was and all he received back was a sigh followed by a head shake signaling for him not to pay much attention to it for the moment.
Raising an eyebrow at the unusual annoyance Piccolo held towards the brown-haired woman he chuckled to himself, it's been a while since he saw the green man feeling this easygoing.
" It's a pleasure Miss….Uhh… " - Going to introduce himself, he realized she still hadn't introduced herself yet.
Noticing the awkward momentary silence Mumei coughed into her fist a few times before starting. - " Name's Mumei, where I come from ye call me 'Auntmei' I find it quite cute so feel free~ "
With the woman smug as ever, that sentence gave a lot to Gohan. His eyes bulged for a second kind of understanding of where she came from and what had potentially happened after his inevitable end in the Android's hands.
He was a smart one and knew that even Bulma was working on something similar to it after discovering that Goku's disease was actually curable. Time traveling, an aspect he thought to be quite absurd but could see the blue-haired scientist pulling out somehow.
Helping Gura get her footing back from her hug section, he stood straight up bowing slightly showing respect. - " I see. Perhaps the 'me' from where you came from has had its fair share of your shenanigans Miss. Mumei…. Funnily enough, I do have a feel of a sort of Deja Vu glancing at you, - * Smiles * - I thank you for saving this little one here… Sincerely, thank you. "
Patting Gura's shoulder his eyes displayed a mature gleam that left Mumei essentially beaming with pride.
Her tail swinging aggressively back and forth caught the attention of Piccolo who gave the girl a weird look before glancing away, the Owl's emotions boiled up for a moment before she kept them under control so her Energy wouldn't spill out by mistake, after all…They(aka. Kronii, alone by herself) just fixed the city.
' Awwwh! I knew he was the goat but fuuuuuck! He deserves better than this timeline's canon ending. I will make sure your future can kick ass Gohan, that ya bet my ass I will! '
Mouth moving around into different grimaces as she monologues to herself, Mumei's sense of consciousness returns after feeling the piercing stare from someone who just appeared beside them a second ago.
" Control yourself, Mumei. - * Sigh * - Finish what you came here to do so we can return soon enough. You and I still have a lot to amend. " - Crossing her arms while giving Gohan a nod of acknowledgment, Kronii stays put waiting for whatever the bird was about to come up with.
Hearing the grumpy words from her sister-in-law, Mumei childishly showed her tongue, mocking Kronii, earning a tick mark to appear in the blue one's forehead.
Taking a deep breath Kronii chose to not pay attention and simply stayed silent. Displaying quite a notable amount of self-control that even herself didn't know she had.
" Heh~ Anyway! Gura, wanna go say hello to your grumpy old man? Just felt his Ki appear a bit after Gohan's, tho I think he is still unconscious. " - Raising an eyebrow, Mumei wondered what the Prince was up to playing the Sleeping Princess.
Ignoring his energy once more, the Owl tried using her hand to cover a yawn, feeling quite lazy after all the hell-bent events that happened these last past days.
As she displayed those pairs of canines of hers the words that she let out left the ones who didn't have such absurd sensing abilities to be in awe before they took a turn trying to focus in the general direction Capsule Corp was, immediately recognizing the multiple familiar energy signatures.
The first to explode at rocketing speeds towards Capsule was the shark who had been hugging Gohan's waist until she heard Mumei's words about her father being brought back.
Watching the trail of white energy left behind and the stunned Gohan who laughed to himself, Mumei let out a content huff before strolling to the now-grown Gohan.
Standing in front of him and fully understanding the height difference they would have one day brought back the memories of when she played around the boy who didn't even reach her waist height. ( A/N: He's 6'1" (186 cm), Muun's 5'10 (178cm)
The memory brought a look to the bird's face that left Gohan stunned, he was sure the one in front of him had known for a long time. He hoped to say the same, but their times were different.
He was about to say something when Mumei playfully hit his chest with her fist, not putting one inch of strength behind it whatsoever.
" You've made him proud. Know that. " - Turning around so her back now faced him Mumei's eyes went towards the sky. - " Also promise this unknown aunty of yours one thing, lil' Gohan. "
Following her words Gohan's own had gotten stuck by his throat, he couldn't bring himself to say anything besides hum in acknowledgment of whatever she was about to say next.
Although hearing that his battle junkie old man had been proud of him did hit the right spot in his heart, enough to make tears pool in his eyes which he was quick to swoop away using his arm. After all, after he died he did meet Goku... And yes, he did hear the words from the man himself as well when he first arrived in the afterlife a few weeks ago.
Luckily, destiny was on their side as he had been revived in a brand new way by our truly Warden. Now, with him paying full attention once more, he watched the brown-haired hybrid turn around. This time displaying a grin worthy of her Saiyan lineage.
" Fuck up anyone who tries to mess up this place. "
Such words after a long silence left everyone who was waiting for inspiring words to fall into an even deeper silence.
While Kronii repeatedly face-slapped herself using her palm, Piccolo flew after Gura, deciding it was better than putting up with the other's show.
Lastly, the younger Hybrid simply blinked in place a few times before breaking out in a loud burst of laughter.
His sudden outburst brought joy to Mumei who wished to break the heavy atmosphere she had created.
But she didn't expect that the boy she knew would take it seriously.
Clenching his fists, Gohan's aura exploded into a tornado of golden blinding energy. Engulfed in the legendary gleam of a Super Saiyan while his hair was now tainted in gold as well.
" You bet I will….. - * small smile * - Auntmei. "
