For roughly two years the galaxy was spiraling away from the Era of Peace, away from the days that the major powers never had to worry about true warfare between each other. That all seemed to have changed with the ushering in of the new millennia. With pomp and circumstance Prometheus Zex, the mysterious leader of Alpha Prime, welcomed in the new age with the crowning of what was heralded as one of the best fighters in the galaxy, Conri Lane. It was from this moment that time rapidly moved forward and conflict finally arrived. The war between the Saiyan and the Universal Church of One erupted in a deadly attack which was countered by an even deadlier response. Mement Mor fell in a fiery ball of ‘glory’. Revenge had been achieved for the Saiyans but those sent by the crown had fallen during the battle and would never see what lie at home. Akassa Hattori had taken the throne from her father and her step mother after a vicious battle in the ruins of the palace that saw her younger brother, Leke , fall as well. On Earth the Fuhrer King had been unseated by his right hand advisor and promptly tried to fully unify his power base. The obstacle that stood in his way? A small group that had taken refuge on the Lookout led by the severely weakened Kaladar Lox, the Guardian of Earth, Azazel Moloch, and a young man by the name of Saito Kito. Drawing the usurping leader out of the capital, they were able to best the creature before restoring Burradori to his rightful place upon the throne.
These sparks would create a blaze of action that drastically reshaped the galaxy. The fearsome leader of Beta Minor was dispatched with ease by Ninjin Hattori, who had seemingly chosen to lead the asteroid locale with the ship that contained the population of the Ilibsians. Prometheus Zex fell to the Majin demon, Zasham, allowing him to sit atop Alpha Prime. However the flurry of action that would change the galaxy the greatest was the scene of Akassa Hattori proclaiming that Earth had been annexed by the Lunar Saiyans. Earth’s defenders, ragtag in appearance and alliance, put up a valiant effort in an attempt to prevent the new monarch’s first conquest. However it would prove futile.
It would not take long for tensions to start to rise again across the galaxy. Privately Zasham began to scheme for a way to clear the criminals that had plagued the Omega Collective for almost its entire existence. Much to Zex’s dismay it had remained that way the entirety of his reign and it now fell to Zasham. Quickly the plan came together as a roster of ‘undesirables’ was compiled. The preparation was under way and it would only be a matter of time.
On Earth F.R.E.E. continued to run interference with the occupying Saiyans. The organization had been set up by Ethan Snow, one of the few survivors from those that fought against Akassa on the day that saw the destruction of Central City. He had been invited to speak terms with Akassa Hattori and after days of deliberation with himself; Ethan Snow eventually would accept. The meeting would be at the makeshift head of government on Earth between Akassa, Maya, who had been named governor after Nasu Hattori’s subsequent breakdown, and the leader of F.R.E.E. There he demanded that Earth’s sovereignty be respected and its freedom be returned. Standing firm Akassa declined the request which only solidified Ethan’s mind. They were going to have to fight for their freedom.
Zasham had sent out several requests to those that he had worked with in the past. Those that gathered included the demoness Azazel, the mysterious alien Kallen, the android Zero, the newly revived Kurosanai and the leader of Beta Minor, Ninjin. Together the group began what would become known as the Purge. They would go through all of Beta Minor and Alpha Prime capturing those that had been designated as criminals and needing of removal. The cartels, the thieves, the murderers, the kidnappers and the drug peddlers were all rounded up. Forced onto shuttles they were sent to the mines of Belegost. There they were forced into work camps in order to pay for their crimes. It was not until a few days after the end of the Purge that the deplorable conditions began to emerge. Kurosanai would confront Zasham over them with Zero at the leader’s side. The two began to argue over the result of the Purge which would end in Kurosanai being left in the mines of Belegost, Zasham’s final verdict of the former teammates. Zasham would return to Alpha Prime flanked by the remaining participants and went before the galaxy proclaiming that the Omega Collective would no longer be held hostage to the crime that had been expelled. It would be one of Zasham’s proudest moments.
At the same time across the galaxy Ethan Snow had readied F.R.E.E. for the day that they were going to take back Earth. At the stroke of midnight thousands of people took to the streets of the cities around the world in mass protest of the Saiyan occupation. The demonstrations would be met with soldiers standing firm to ensure that damage did not occur to key government facilities. Maya would stand firm as Akassa Hattori prepared to arrive on Earth herself in order to help put the protests to rest. However as she readied a small force to move with her, Maya was forced from the seat of government not because of the crowds but rather an unexpected attack by Saito Kito and his brother Ethan Snow. Fearing the appearance of Conri Lane who had dropped off the radar from the tracking they had been using, Maya would return to New Vegeta without Akassa’s permission and was immediately met with fierce rage. This would be short lived as Conri Lane stepped forward to challenge Akassa. Never backing down from a challenge the two would clash over and over again. The two great Saiyan warriors would clash and then separate with neither fully committing to full pitched battle. After two short clashes there would be an eerie silence for a few hours. It would be during this time that Toa and Raska would finally rally to their Queen’s side. Outnumbered, Conri looked at an uphill battle, but in that moment two warriors that were never truly factored into the equation appeared. Zeke NeCross, the leader of the Sword School, emerged and fought against General Toa, occupying him while Conri charged forward. It would only be a few minutes later that the chaotic demon would be dragged away by the genie that had resided on the Omega Collective, Dellashano. Seeking to try and even the fight Maya would provide support to General Toa against Zeke NeCross. All three battles would tear at the heart of New Vegeta with Conri Lane not giving an inch to Akassa Hattori. In time the battle would turn against the Queen of New Vegeta and she grew more desperate until her very actions began threatening her own populace. At this time Conri realized this and begged Akassa to lay down her arms for the people she sought to lead but she would not relent. It would actually take the pleading of one of Akassa’s few friends in the universe, Maya, to eventually lay down her fight and admit defeat. The bold plan to force Akassa to the negotiating table had worked.
Word spread quickly through the universe of the defeat of Akassa Hattori. The news carried on the wind and it would find its way all the way to the ears of old enemies. Spies of the Universal Church of One that hid in plain sight carried the news back to the remaining leadership of the Church. They could sense that the time to avenge Mement Mor drew near.
Negotiations between those that fought for the freedom of Earth and that of Akassa would be drawn out and quite loud at times. At the negotiating table was Akassa, Maya and that of General Toa across from Conri Lane, Ethan Snow, and Saito Kito. The six would go back and forth over the sovereignty of Earth and the relationship it would have with the Lunar Saiyans. The negotiations would carry on for two months and it would be during that time that Akassa came to a conclusion that had been nagging at her. She truly despised the actual act of ruling; it was with this that the idea was raised of Earth regaining its sovereignty and Akassa stepping down as Queen. Those at the negotiating table were astonished that the notion was not immediately dismissed. The Queen opted to continue to play things at her own pace and adjourned the meeting. The question was raised, though, in the Queen’s mind if she were not to rule New Vegeta, who would?
Months continued to pass as the Omega Collective saw the peace that not having such extreme criminal elements running through the streets created. The Kinigos were raised to a position of respect and given new colonies to live on the surface of Belegost, while acting as guards in Alpha Prime. Given a reprieve Zero would leave the Omega Collective and set out on a private mission that would hold the possibility of changing the entire landscape of the universe. The android would not be on the Collective when a series of sudden attacks rocked Alpha Prime, Belegost, and Beta Minor. For Ninjin the attacks were all too similar to a memory he would care to forget. Immediately fights began breaking out throughout the Omega Collective as an army of androids had somehow made it through its defenses. Over the next few hours Ninjin would help direct counter attacks alongside Zasham from that of what was Monarch Heights. Things would turn for the worst against the collective when a fleet appeared on the radar, one that would challenge the very Collective’s existence. The Universal Church of One had returned to the system they had once called home, this time with the grand leader of the Church at the head of the invading army. Warlock, herself. The two sides clashed throughout the next several days as neither side would commit their strongest to the cause until they saw an opportunity. It would be during this time that the Cardinal of Culture, Iun Harime, would make a push to retake Belegost in the name of the Church. It would take Kallen, a fixture of benevolence in the view of the people, and that of Frigid, who had returned by happenstance but was more than happy to go another round, to fight back Harime to the point that the main surface settlement was saved. Frigid would charge after Harime in hopes to end the fight while Kallen remained behind to help tend to the wounded. Frigid and the Cardinal would clash one final time before he was able to end a ghost that had haunted him for almost a year. Soon after the fall of Harime, Ninjin would lay down a challenge to the Warlock stating that they would settle this between themselves. Ninjin would arrive on the surface of Belegost and await Warlock; neither side expected each other to lay down arms and the two sides would continue to fight. Zasham would lead the Kinigos in finally turning the tables in the war causing numerous carries to fall in battle and the amount of casualties to significantly mount for the Universal Church of One. They would strike one final devastating blow, mortally damaging the World Ship of the Ibisilians. Zasham’s focus immediately shifted to rescuing as many souls as possible and transporting them to Beta Minor. Meanwhile on the Belegost’s surface, Warlock and Ninjin crashed into each other time and again. It was fierce, it was brutal, and it was filled with rage from either side. Ninjin, fueled by the images of his family fighting against the Church, his friends that had fallen and those that lived under his rule now. Slowly the tide turned and the Warlock began to fail. Then in one final blast, one similar to that that had struck Aer Nin back on New Vegeta, he struck at the leader of the UCOO. The thoughts of his failure to kill Aer Nin, of protecting his friends, of his failure to stop Invictus Maneo and then that of protecting the life that he had finally formed here fueled his blast. The Warlock would be unable to withstand such a blast and her hateful existence would be purged from this universe. With the Warlock dead the UCOO forces quickly began to fall apart and in quick time retreat from the battlefield. The war had been won and the UCOO defeated.
It would take time to assess the full damage of the battle, but it would become clear. The World Ship had been lost and was unsalvageable, but the majority of the population had been rescued. Belegost’s settlements had been damaged but still stood. Damage had been minimal to Alpha Prime and Beta Minor on the grand scale. Many had died in the fighting, though, and their losses weighed on every citizen in the Omega Collective. The Universal Church of One would dissolve soon afterwards as none of the surviving Cardinals had the abilities necessary to replace Warlock. The Church would fracture into numerous factions, however in time most would fall out of relevance. One faction of note would survive with mild relevance, it would go by the name of the Church of Life and its leader was that of Sebastian De’Vont. He had decided to devote his life to healing after seeing the destruction on Mement Mor and at the Omega Collective. He would lead his Church to help the lives of the unfortunate and downtrodden.
The news spread like wildfire through the galaxy of the UCOO’s attack on the Omega Collective. The news would reach the ears of Akassa Hattori, who immediately called her great generals to council in order to form a plan. They would not be caught flat footed if the Church decided to attack New Vegeta as well as Omega. The problem was that of all the scenarios that were pitched to Akassa Hattori, and logically so, they all revolved around large scale attacks similar to what had happened before. Never once did they suspect something much smaller, singular actually.
Zero descended upon New Vegeta with the wrath of a god. He destroyed the main space port with a single blast and proceeded to rain down devastation with ease. Though the lunar surface had seen much war brought to it in recent memory they were beginning the perfection of rebuilding quickly. Unlike last time, however, Zeke NeCross would not be on the Moon. In fact none that dared to stand against Akassa were allowed on the Moon as part of the negotiations. If Akassa were to even discuss the release of Earth, she stated definitively that she was not going to be ‘kept hostage’ until she agreed to the demands. Akassa was the only great power on the Moon that stood for the Saiyans banner. Toa, Raska and Maya could not dare to even dream of fighting against Zero in his current form. Through the innovations of Ivan and the resources of not only the Omega Collective but also the Universal Church of One Zero had achieved a level of power that propelled him into the graces of the most powerful beings in the known universe. The Queen would defend her home with ferocity that you would expect from the Legendary Super Saiyan, but it did not seem it would be enough this time. The brute strength of the Queen that had allowed her victory on the battlefield time and again was not enough. The android had studied her and seemed to have a counter to everything devastating she had in her arsenal. He had come to New Vegeta to finish what the Church tried to do almost two years ago. Despite the damage he had received in his fight with the Queen, his stamina, or lack thereof stamina, was what propelled him to drive the Queen through her own city. Her body would rest unconscious just within some ruins. It was then that an unlikely figure approached the Queen, not out of malice, but out of genuine interest in her wellbeing. The creature was, in fact, the human Kurosanai Muzai. He had escaped from Belegost a few weeks back and in some delusional thought process thought that he would possibly be able to atone for what he had done by slipping onto the Moon. There he remained out in plain view trying to help the Saiyans rebuild their city. Reaching into his pocket he produced a gift that had been given to him by his father long ago that he had held onto, a senzu bean. He slipped the bean into the Queen’s mouth just as Zero appeared, sending the man flying. Though he had every right to view Akassa as an enemy he would not allow Zero to just obliterate an innocent populace. Only moments later the Moon would rock as Akassa rose back to her feet even more powerful than before. She would stand alone against the android, and despite Kuro’s own power, he had been incapacitated for the fight. As Akassa’s power lit up the sky, Kurosanai could almost feel like some cosmic justice, some form of balance, or even some kind of ‘revenge’ had been leveled against the android. Whatever it would end, being it felt good and that the android had deserved what was coming to him. Akassa with her new found power and rejuvenated stamina would prove to be too much for the android, driving him into defeat. She was not, however, able to finish him off as he managed to slip away and escape the Moon. Zero’s assault had been thwarted but at a cost. New Vegeta was once again in ruins.
Only a week later during the negotiations with Earth Akassa would double down on her original stance that both the Moon and Earth needed her protection. Conri, Ethan, and Kit would be aghast as the destruction of all of the progress that had been made. It appeared hopeless that they were going to be able to avoid another war when a new entrant appeared in the negotiations. The young prince Leke Hattori, returned from the dead and would later be spun as he went into seclusion following his parents death, confronted his older sister. With wisdom beyond his age he spun an argument that Akassa’s power would forever endanger the people of New Vegeta as more powerful foes would try to kill her for the glory. Conri, seeing what was going on, would further add that if Zero was ever to return more powerful that New Vegeta would fall to him. The only way to prevent him from doing so would be to go after him. Something that the Queen of New Vegeta would not be able to devote herself to. He proposed that Akassa join him and together they would be able to track down the android and finish him off for good. Moved by the logic of the arguments the stubborn Queen would relent. She would in fact abdicate the throne in order to pursue Zero alongside Conri Lane on one condition. A Hattori was to rule in her stead, and that that Hattori would be her younger brother Leke.
As promised a month later Akassa Hattori would step down from the throne and Leke would ascend to it starting a new era for that of New Vegeta. The youngest Hattori child would immediately proclaim the intention to turn over Earth to its own people once more before the entire galaxy. Several months later the vision that the late Fuhrer King Burradori had strived to create before his death was achieved. The people of Earth would be able to pick their own leaders and express their will. And their first choice was to elect Ethan Snow, the now former leader of F.R.E.E. and key negotiator, to become the first duly elected President of Earth.
This would usher in an era of new found peace across the universe. Together Leke and Ethan attempted to build what once was and rekindle the shared friendship between the Moon and Earth. Though both leaders were very young they soon proved to have wisdom beyond their years and created a friendship that would last beyond just their respective reigns. Leke would rebuild New Vegeta, again, but this time in a way that did not boast of New Vegeta’s military strength but that of its strength as a civilization. He would help turn it into a place that the great minds would come to in order to study, teach, and create. He created a legacy that any Hattori would be proud of. His counterpart Ethan would do the same. He would return Earth to the peace that it experienced under Burradori’s regime while also moving it forward. He would create a renewed hope from the people for leadership that the people had never truly experienced. They would go on to elect Ethan Snow to six consecutive four year terms as President, despite the security scares he would inflict upon his personal guards when he would slip away to go surfing. After his final term as President came to an end he would retire to a life of simpler means and enjoy the world that he helped build.
Saito Kito would be handed the mantle of Guardian of Earth by Conri Lane shortly after Ethan was elected. Conri’s reasoning behind it was twofold. The first being that he was going to have to travel with Akassa and be away from Earth for god knows how long. Earth needed a Guardian that was present. The second being that the role never really suited him, he was too brash and often times did bold things that were not exactly becoming of Guardian of Earth. The role suited Kit very well and reluctantly the human would accept the position. He would prove to be an invaluable advisor to his brother just as Kaladar Lox had to Burradori before him. Dellashano would return to Earth from the Omega Collective boasting a new school in an effort to teach the people the ways of the arcane. She had come to despise and distrust Zasham so much that she found it unbearable to remain even remotely close to him. Plus there was a calling to return Earth, a place that she hadn’t called home for a very long time. In time when Saito Kito passed on from the living world to join the Kais, Della would ascend to the mantle of Guardian of Earth. Her ever protecting gaze would watch over Earth for time ephemeral, though, that would be broken up with occasional arguments with Mr. Popo over countless topics. Della and the position of Guardian of Earth would pass into legend after a time. It was said that if Earth was ever truly in danger a great mystical being would appear to help defeat the threat. But, in time, only children believed those stories.
Kuro, in time, would gather a group of friends and compatriots that he would have never imagined. He would deal with personal demons relentlessly until news arrived of a Saiyan on the far away planet of Nysa had reached his ears. It was a mercenary that fought with golden power, had a mechanical leg, burned face and a strange eye. The former prodigy would set out immediately to this planet to find the man that he had been looking for, Nasu Hattori. After his spiral into madness over the perception of destroying an entire city’s population, Nasu had begun to wander the galaxy. In time an old debt would be called upon that drew him to the side of one of the two rulers on Nysa. There he fought as her general and battering ram. Never once did he expect to eventually come upon Kurosanai one more time as he had known for sure that his sister had killed him. The two would clash fiercely just as they had before but this time unlike the previous two battles. Victory would not slip through Kuro’s fingers. He would finally vanquish and subsequently kill Nasu Hattori ending their blood feud once and for all. Nasu had strangely found the peace that he had been looking for while Kuro was finally gifted with the ability to start his own life. This would be an opportunity that he would not let slip away.
Azazel would return to Earth roughly a year after the Purge on the Omega Collective with knowledge of an ancient secret. She sought out the bunny Saiyan hybrid, Shun and made good on the promise she made to him. He displayed enough strength that she would honor one of his dreams. The two would be wed to each other in a small ceremony. Only a few days later the two would be engulfed in an explosion and be on their way to Hell. There Azazel would destroy Warden and assume his mantle. Before the Demon Queen would ever have the opportunity to counter strike at the newly appointed leader of Hell, Azazel would trap her within her own realm using an ancient seal. The Demon Queen would forever be locked away inside of the Demon Realm despite her best efforts. Azazel and Shun would rule over Hell together, as one of the strangest ruling couples in history. They would occasionally visit the plane of the living just for a reprieve though they would always return to their strange home together.
Zeke NeCross would, in time, find his own little niche on New Vegeta amongst Leke’s new vision. He would return the Sword School to its founding home. There he would help train the next generation in the art of the sword, while also providing sound advice to the young Leke. On the personal front Zeke NeCross would eventually kill his father and take over the organization that he had run from the shadows. On Earth Celeh would eventually find her place, not as a soldier, but as a regular citizen. She would help found and grow a pocket of Saiyans living peacefully on Earth. She would prove to be one of Leke’s finest examples on how his people can live peacefully.
With the UCOO turned away and the Omega Collective in rebuild mode, Kallen would prove to be a force of healing on the system. Not because of any actual healing techniques but as a force of hope. The citizens would come to see her as one of the most trusted people on the Collective. More so than Ninjin, the Hero that led the charge back against the UCOO, or Zasham, the leader of Alpha Prime. Because of this new found love it would actually lead to the marriage union of the leader of Alpha Prime and the Hope of Belegost, Kallen. Though they were certainly strange they would prove to be a bit reminiscent of Tsuyo and Natisha in design. It would produce much more positive results despite the rumors that Zasham would display signs of different personalities and some of the staff going missing within the ruler’s residence from time to time.
The other hero on Belegost proved to be a bit more reclusive and gypsy like. Frigid would spend most of his life drifting about the universe taking in all of the sights that he could. It was something he had always gotten to enjoy and now it was the only thing he desired to do. When he was on Omega he would offer an ear to his old friend Ninjin and provide sage advice when he needed it. He was told repeatedly throughout his stays that he would always have a luxurious home on Beta Minor but each time he would laugh it off and retort that his space pod was more than comfortable enough. This would make Ninjin laugh each time he had heard it. The Icejin proved to be one of the best confidants to the Saiyan. He would spend most of his life trying to make the lives of the Ibisilians and make their transition to the living on Beta Minor as easy as possible. Though scarred from his battle with Warlock he would remain the protector of Omega until his last days.
After watching both Ethan and Leke ascend to their respective thrones, Conri and Akassa finished their preparations. The two would end up setting off into the universe after Zero, with the eldest Hattori ever focused on their goal. Not to be outdone by Conri Lane, Maya would end up accompanying the two powerful warriors. She refused to let Conri win in the end but when pressed on the issue she would never explain what it was. Toa would end up staying on New Vegeta with Leke, offering his advice to the leader of the Saiyans just as he had done throughout his life. Raska on the other hand did not have anything better to do and decided to tag along for fun. Conri, as they left Earth for the first time together, could not help but smile. He had offered to Akassa when they first met to come join him to explore the stars. She had finally taken him up on his offer although not quite in the way he had expected. There was one rule from the onset of their journey; Conri was not allowed to touch Akassa. Depending on who you heard their stories from there was either no touching at all or a lot more touching then little kids should hear about.
The universe had changed drastically from the old millennium to the new. Old kingdoms fell, new ones rose and some endured ever changed by their experiences. This generation of warriors would be known for all time as one of the strongest, one of the most influential of all time. There was said to have been an awakening by the Fates when they saw this generation. They were heralded as destined, or gifted or chosen by scholars. But most people often preferred this phrase,
‘These men and women, children and adults alike, sought to change the order of the universe they saw before them. They wished to give it an all new beginning.’

The staff truly does not have any words to describe what all of our members have provided us with over the last two and a half years. You have made us laugh, smile, cry sometimes depending on the topic, and helped created a community we could never have dreamed. We started out thinking that if we would make an attempt at running our site and never would we have guessed that we would find this. We owe all our success to you and for that I really only have one thing to say.
Thank you. Thank you for all for the great memories.

The android would not be on the Collective when a series of sudden attacks rocked Alpha Prime, Belegost, and Beta Minor.

Immediately fights began breaking out throughout the Omega Collective as an army of androids had somehow made it through its defenses. Over the next few hours Ninjin would help direct counter attacks alongside Zasham from that of what was Monarch Heights. Things would turn for the worst against the collective when a fleet appeared on the radar, one that would challenge the very Collective’s existence. The Universal Church of One had returned to the system they had once called home, this time with the grand leader of the Church at the head of the invading army. Warlock, herself. The two sides clashed throughout the next several days as neither side would commit their strongest to the cause until they saw an opportunity. It would be during this time that the Cardinal of Culture, Iun Harime, would make a push to retake Belegost in the name of the Church. It would take Kallen, a fixture of benevolence in the view of the people, and that of Frigid, who had returned by happenstance but was more than happy to go another round, to fight back Harime to the point that the main surface settlement was saved. Frigid would charge after Harime in hopes to end the fight while Kallen remained behind to help tend to the wounded. Frigid and the Cardinal would clash one final time before he was able to end a ghost that had haunted him for almost a year. Soon after the fall of Harime, Ninjin would lay down a challenge to the Warlock stating that they would settle this between themselves. Ninjin would arrive on the surface of Belegost and await Warlock; neither side expected each other to lay down arms and the two sides would continue to fight. Zasham would lead the Kinigos in finally turning the tables in the war causing numerous carries to fall in battle and the amount of casualties to significantly mount for the Universal Church of One. They would strike one final devastating blow, mortally damaging the World Ship of the Ibisilians. Zasham’s focus immediately shifted to rescuing as many souls as possible and transporting them to Beta Minor. Meanwhile on the Belegost’s surface, Warlock and Ninjin crashed into each other time and again. It was fierce, it was brutal, and it was filled with rage from either side. Ninjin, fueled by the images of his family fighting against the Church, his friends that had fallen and those that lived under his rule now. Slowly the tide turned and the Warlock began to fail. Then in one final blast, one similar to that that had struck Aer Nin back on New Vegeta, he struck at the leader of the UCOO. The thoughts of his failure to kill Aer Nin, of protecting his friends, of his failure to stop Invictus Maneo and then that of protecting the life that he had finally formed here fueled his blast. The Warlock would be unable to withstand such a blast and her hateful existence would be purged from this universe. With the Warlock dead the UCOO forces quickly began to fall apart and in quick time retreat from the battlefield. The war had been won and the UCOO defeated.
It would take time to assess the full damage of the battle, but it would become clear. The World Ship had been lost and was unsalvageable, but the majority of the population had been rescued. Belegost’s settlements had been damaged but still stood. Damage had been minimal to Alpha Prime and Beta Minor on the grand scale. Many had died in the fighting, though, and their losses weighed on every citizen in the Omega Collective. The Universal Church of One would dissolve soon afterwards as none of the surviving Cardinals had the abilities necessary to replace Warlock. The Church would fracture into numerous factions, however in time most would fall out of relevance. One faction of note would survive with mild relevance, it would go by the name of the Church of Life and its leader was that of Sebastian De’Vont. He had decided to devote his life to healing after seeing the destruction on Mement Mor and at the Omega Collective. He would lead his Church to help the lives of the unfortunate and downtrodden.
The news spread like wildfire through the galaxy of the UCOO’s attack on the Omega Collective. The news would reach the ears of Akassa Hattori, who immediately called her great generals to council in order to form a plan. They would not be caught flat footed if the Church decided to attack New Vegeta as well as Omega. The problem was that of all the scenarios that were pitched to Akassa Hattori, and logically so, they all revolved around large scale attacks similar to what had happened before. Never once did they suspect something much smaller, singular actually.
Zero descended upon New Vegeta with the wrath of a god. He destroyed the main space port with a single blast and proceeded to rain down devastation with ease. Though the lunar surface had seen much war brought to it in recent memory they were beginning the perfection of rebuilding quickly. Unlike last time, however, Zeke NeCross would not be on the Moon. In fact none that dared to stand against Akassa were allowed on the Moon as part of the negotiations. If Akassa were to even discuss the release of Earth, she stated definitively that she was not going to be ‘kept hostage’ until she agreed to the demands. Akassa was the only great power on the Moon that stood for the Saiyans banner. Toa, Raska and Maya could not dare to even dream of fighting against Zero in his current form. Through the innovations of Ivan and the resources of not only the Omega Collective but also the Universal Church of One Zero had achieved a level of power that propelled him into the graces of the most powerful beings in the known universe. The Queen would defend her home with ferocity that you would expect from the Legendary Super Saiyan, but it did not seem it would be enough this time. The brute strength of the Queen that had allowed her victory on the battlefield time and again was not enough. The android had studied her and seemed to have a counter to everything devastating she had in her arsenal. He had come to New Vegeta to finish what the Church tried to do almost two years ago. Despite the damage he had received in his fight with the Queen, his stamina, or lack thereof stamina, was what propelled him to drive the Queen through her own city. Her body would rest unconscious just within some ruins. It was then that an unlikely figure approached the Queen, not out of malice, but out of genuine interest in her wellbeing. The creature was, in fact, the human Kurosanai Muzai. He had escaped from Belegost a few weeks back and in some delusional thought process thought that he would possibly be able to atone for what he had done by slipping onto the Moon. There he remained out in plain view trying to help the Saiyans rebuild their city. Reaching into his pocket he produced a gift that had been given to him by his father long ago that he had held onto, a senzu bean. He slipped the bean into the Queen’s mouth just as Zero appeared, sending the man flying. Though he had every right to view Akassa as an enemy he would not allow Zero to just obliterate an innocent populace. Only moments later the Moon would rock as Akassa rose back to her feet even more powerful than before. She would stand alone against the android, and despite Kuro’s own power, he had been incapacitated for the fight. As Akassa’s power lit up the sky, Kurosanai could almost feel like some cosmic justice, some form of balance, or even some kind of ‘revenge’ had been leveled against the android. Whatever it would end, being it felt good and that the android had deserved what was coming to him. Akassa with her new found power and rejuvenated stamina would prove to be too much for the android, driving him into defeat. She was not, however, able to finish him off as he managed to slip away and escape the Moon. Zero’s assault had been thwarted but at a cost. New Vegeta was once again in ruins.
Only a week later during the negotiations with Earth Akassa would double down on her original stance that both the Moon and Earth needed her protection. Conri, Ethan, and Kit would be aghast as the destruction of all of the progress that had been made. It appeared hopeless that they were going to be able to avoid another war when a new entrant appeared in the negotiations. The young prince Leke Hattori, returned from the dead and would later be spun as he went into seclusion following his parents death, confronted his older sister. With wisdom beyond his age he spun an argument that Akassa’s power would forever endanger the people of New Vegeta as more powerful foes would try to kill her for the glory. Conri, seeing what was going on, would further add that if Zero was ever to return more powerful that New Vegeta would fall to him. The only way to prevent him from doing so would be to go after him. Something that the Queen of New Vegeta would not be able to devote herself to. He proposed that Akassa join him and together they would be able to track down the android and finish him off for good. Moved by the logic of the arguments the stubborn Queen would relent. She would in fact abdicate the throne in order to pursue Zero alongside Conri Lane on one condition. A Hattori was to rule in her stead, and that that Hattori would be her younger brother Leke.
As promised a month later Akassa Hattori would step down from the throne and Leke would ascend to it starting a new era for that of New Vegeta. The youngest Hattori child would immediately proclaim the intention to turn over Earth to its own people once more before the entire galaxy. Several months later the vision that the late Fuhrer King Burradori had strived to create before his death was achieved. The people of Earth would be able to pick their own leaders and express their will. And their first choice was to elect Ethan Snow, the now former leader of F.R.E.E. and key negotiator, to become the first duly elected President of Earth.
This would usher in an era of new found peace across the universe. Together Leke and Ethan attempted to build what once was and rekindle the shared friendship between the Moon and Earth. Though both leaders were very young they soon proved to have wisdom beyond their years and created a friendship that would last beyond just their respective reigns. Leke would rebuild New Vegeta, again, but this time in a way that did not boast of New Vegeta’s military strength but that of its strength as a civilization. He would help turn it into a place that the great minds would come to in order to study, teach, and create. He created a legacy that any Hattori would be proud of. His counterpart Ethan would do the same. He would return Earth to the peace that it experienced under Burradori’s regime while also moving it forward. He would create a renewed hope from the people for leadership that the people had never truly experienced. They would go on to elect Ethan Snow to six consecutive four year terms as President, despite the security scares he would inflict upon his personal guards when he would slip away to go surfing. After his final term as President came to an end he would retire to a life of simpler means and enjoy the world that he helped build.
Saito Kito would be handed the mantle of Guardian of Earth by Conri Lane shortly after Ethan was elected. Conri’s reasoning behind it was twofold. The first being that he was going to have to travel with Akassa and be away from Earth for god knows how long. Earth needed a Guardian that was present. The second being that the role never really suited him, he was too brash and often times did bold things that were not exactly becoming of Guardian of Earth. The role suited Kit very well and reluctantly the human would accept the position. He would prove to be an invaluable advisor to his brother just as Kaladar Lox had to Burradori before him. Dellashano would return to Earth from the Omega Collective boasting a new school in an effort to teach the people the ways of the arcane. She had come to despise and distrust Zasham so much that she found it unbearable to remain even remotely close to him. Plus there was a calling to return Earth, a place that she hadn’t called home for a very long time. In time when Saito Kito passed on from the living world to join the Kais, Della would ascend to the mantle of Guardian of Earth. Her ever protecting gaze would watch over Earth for time ephemeral, though, that would be broken up with occasional arguments with Mr. Popo over countless topics. Della and the position of Guardian of Earth would pass into legend after a time. It was said that if Earth was ever truly in danger a great mystical being would appear to help defeat the threat. But, in time, only children believed those stories.
Kuro, in time, would gather a group of friends and compatriots that he would have never imagined. He would deal with personal demons relentlessly until news arrived of a Saiyan on the far away planet of Nysa had reached his ears. It was a mercenary that fought with golden power, had a mechanical leg, burned face and a strange eye. The former prodigy would set out immediately to this planet to find the man that he had been looking for, Nasu Hattori. After his spiral into madness over the perception of destroying an entire city’s population, Nasu had begun to wander the galaxy. In time an old debt would be called upon that drew him to the side of one of the two rulers on Nysa. There he fought as her general and battering ram. Never once did he expect to eventually come upon Kurosanai one more time as he had known for sure that his sister had killed him. The two would clash fiercely just as they had before but this time unlike the previous two battles. Victory would not slip through Kuro’s fingers. He would finally vanquish and subsequently kill Nasu Hattori ending their blood feud once and for all. Nasu had strangely found the peace that he had been looking for while Kuro was finally gifted with the ability to start his own life. This would be an opportunity that he would not let slip away.
Azazel would return to Earth roughly a year after the Purge on the Omega Collective with knowledge of an ancient secret. She sought out the bunny Saiyan hybrid, Shun and made good on the promise she made to him. He displayed enough strength that she would honor one of his dreams. The two would be wed to each other in a small ceremony. Only a few days later the two would be engulfed in an explosion and be on their way to Hell. There Azazel would destroy Warden and assume his mantle. Before the Demon Queen would ever have the opportunity to counter strike at the newly appointed leader of Hell, Azazel would trap her within her own realm using an ancient seal. The Demon Queen would forever be locked away inside of the Demon Realm despite her best efforts. Azazel and Shun would rule over Hell together, as one of the strangest ruling couples in history. They would occasionally visit the plane of the living just for a reprieve though they would always return to their strange home together.
Zeke NeCross would, in time, find his own little niche on New Vegeta amongst Leke’s new vision. He would return the Sword School to its founding home. There he would help train the next generation in the art of the sword, while also providing sound advice to the young Leke. On the personal front Zeke NeCross would eventually kill his father and take over the organization that he had run from the shadows. On Earth Celeh would eventually find her place, not as a soldier, but as a regular citizen. She would help found and grow a pocket of Saiyans living peacefully on Earth. She would prove to be one of Leke’s finest examples on how his people can live peacefully.
With the UCOO turned away and the Omega Collective in rebuild mode, Kallen would prove to be a force of healing on the system. Not because of any actual healing techniques but as a force of hope. The citizens would come to see her as one of the most trusted people on the Collective. More so than Ninjin, the Hero that led the charge back against the UCOO, or Zasham, the leader of Alpha Prime. Because of this new found love it would actually lead to the marriage union of the leader of Alpha Prime and the Hope of Belegost, Kallen. Though they were certainly strange they would prove to be a bit reminiscent of Tsuyo and Natisha in design. It would produce much more positive results despite the rumors that Zasham would display signs of different personalities and some of the staff going missing within the ruler’s residence from time to time.
The other hero on Belegost proved to be a bit more reclusive and gypsy like. Frigid would spend most of his life drifting about the universe taking in all of the sights that he could. It was something he had always gotten to enjoy and now it was the only thing he desired to do. When he was on Omega he would offer an ear to his old friend Ninjin and provide sage advice when he needed it. He was told repeatedly throughout his stays that he would always have a luxurious home on Beta Minor but each time he would laugh it off and retort that his space pod was more than comfortable enough. This would make Ninjin laugh each time he had heard it. The Icejin proved to be one of the best confidants to the Saiyan. He would spend most of his life trying to make the lives of the Ibisilians and make their transition to the living on Beta Minor as easy as possible. Though scarred from his battle with Warlock he would remain the protector of Omega until his last days.
After watching both Ethan and Leke ascend to their respective thrones, Conri and Akassa finished their preparations. The two would end up setting off into the universe after Zero, with the eldest Hattori ever focused on their goal. Not to be outdone by Conri Lane, Maya would end up accompanying the two powerful warriors. She refused to let Conri win in the end but when pressed on the issue she would never explain what it was. Toa would end up staying on New Vegeta with Leke, offering his advice to the leader of the Saiyans just as he had done throughout his life. Raska on the other hand did not have anything better to do and decided to tag along for fun. Conri, as they left Earth for the first time together, could not help but smile. He had offered to Akassa when they first met to come join him to explore the stars. She had finally taken him up on his offer although not quite in the way he had expected. There was one rule from the onset of their journey; Conri was not allowed to touch Akassa. Depending on who you heard their stories from there was either no touching at all or a lot more touching then little kids should hear about.
The universe had changed drastically from the old millennium to the new. Old kingdoms fell, new ones rose and some endured ever changed by their experiences. This generation of warriors would be known for all time as one of the strongest, one of the most influential of all time. There was said to have been an awakening by the Fates when they saw this generation. They were heralded as destined, or gifted or chosen by scholars. But most people often preferred this phrase,
‘These men and women, children and adults alike, sought to change the order of the universe they saw before them. They wished to give it an all new beginning.’

The staff truly does not have any words to describe what all of our members have provided us with over the last two and a half years. You have made us laugh, smile, cry sometimes depending on the topic, and helped created a community we could never have dreamed. We started out thinking that if we would make an attempt at running our site and never would we have guessed that we would find this. We owe all our success to you and for that I really only have one thing to say.
Thank you. Thank you for all for the great memories.
