It's been awhile, but here is my second Dragon Ball story. Meant to have this ready to post months ago, but had a little writers block during the last chapters.
Anyway, this story takes place right after the final battle with Majin Buu. This story have subtle nods and themes from Future that Almost Was, but you don't need to read that story to understand anything. They're really just Easter Eggs for anyone who read it.
Hope you all enjoy.
Chapter 1: Homecoming
It was almost hard to believe, but it was finally over. After what had to be the longest two and half days of his existence, Majin Buu was finally dead.
Well, at least the evil one.
By some weird twist of fate the first incarnation they met, now called Mr. Buu, became friends with Mr. Satan. He wasn't completely sure how Satan did it, but this version of Buu was now good. Or at least not prone to random destruction.
Vegeta, naturally, didn't buy it and he couldn't really blame the guy. It was, after all, this version of Buu that killed him. One didn't get over something like that in a few minutes. And there was always the risk that Buu could create another evil incarnation of himself.
Still, he sensed no malice or darkness within this Buu. It wasn't like the first time they met. He felt almost innocent in fact. It was the same innocents he sensed within Buu that was blanked by blackness.
It did make sense. The Buu standing before him was more like a naughty kid whose innocence was manipulated by people like Babidi. With care and guidance from Mr. Satan, he could learn to live a peaceful life. Maybe even become one of the Earth's guardians. Given that Buu seemed to be an immorality, he would be around forever to look after the planet.
Of course, that was if he didn't turn evil again.
He supposed it didn't matter. Even if this Buu was to turn he was nowhere near as powerful as before given that most of his strength went into Super Buu and his original incarnation. Granted, he was still powerful enough to require Gotenks, Gohan, or himself to take care of, but he was no longer the absolute terror he was before.
Regardless, this Buu's sudden turn would be hard to explain to everyone. Not to mention hiding him until the memory of Buu was erased from the minds of the humans. But that was more or less Mr. Satan's problem.
He had his own worries.
Namely, how to explain his sudden resurrection? In the rush to stop Buu he never considered the consequences of being revived.
For seven years he's been dead. His friends and family had moved on from him. He had a son he didn't even knew existed until a few days ago and his oldest boy was grown up and possibly had a girlfriend. How could he suddenly jump back into their lives like nothing happened?
Not to mention the reason why he decided to stay dead was to protect them. Until Buu, most of the evil that came to Earth was after him. It got to the point that he wondered if he was more of a curse on the planet he loved despite all the times he saved it. It was a hard decision, but one he thought was best at the time.
Then Buu happened.
On one hand, Buu was revived because of him. If he didn't come back for that one day, Vegeta never would've sold his sold to Babidi to surpassed him. Gohan and Vegeta were more than enough to handle the likes of Dabura. He was largely unneeded.
But whose's to say that Babidi wouldn't have found another way to bring Buu back even without his help?
If by some twist of fate Buu was resurrected, no one would have been able to stop him. The primary reason why Buu didn't blow up the planet right away was because he promised that a strong fighter would come to challenge him in a few days. Gotenks maybe unreliable, but he did keep Buu busy while Gohan completed his training.
Then there was the whole thing with Buu's absorption...
In either case, he couldn't say for sure if things would have been better without him, but he took some comfort in knowing that he wasn't the primary caused of the situation. Not complete anyway.
Although, his presence wouldn't have been necessary either way if Gohan kept up his training.
He sighed to himself.
Piccolo warned him. His son wasn't a fighter. He may enjoy martial arts for the sport, but he didn't have a warrior's spirit. If there was no threat to be fought, Gohan wouldn't focused on getting stronger, no matter how many times they hammered that peace was fickle. It saddened him given what a wonderful gift his son had, but it was what it was.
Goten and Trunks could become the Earth's new protectors, but they were still too young and immature. Gotenks' performance showed as much. They were just kids after all. They weren't like him whose entire life was all about fighting and surviving. Before Buu, Goten or Trunks had never seen live battle. Up till now, fighting was just a game with no long-term consequences. No one died if they failed. He still doubted those two got it since everything has been repaired thanks to the Dragon Balls.
He loved the Dragon Balls, but he wished they didn't depend on them so much. One of these days, they would meet a situation that no wish could fixed. Until he found a true successor, it seemed the Earth needed him a little longer. Even if he did drew danger to it.
"Hey, are you done daydreaming?" the gruff voice of Vegeta asked.
He looked at his rival who looked more than ready to leave. Denda was next to Vegeta, looking concern at him.
"Yeah, sorry about that," he chuckled as he stood up. "Guess I let my mind wonder."
Vegeta snorted, obviously holding back a sarcastic remark.
He put his fingers to his forehead, trying to find an energy source to lock on to for their return.
"Allow me," Supreme Kai said, grabbing his shoulder firmly. "It's the least I can do."
The others gathered around, touching the Supreme Kai and him. Within a blink of an eye, they were off the World of the Kais and back on the Lookout.
Immediately, he felt the others. They were all here, alive and well. It was like the terror of Buu never happened. They really owed another one to the dragon of Namek. Without him, all of this would have been lost forever.
With a small wave and a goodbye, Supreme Kai returned to his world.
He kind of felt sorry for the guy. They left his world a big mess. He would offer to help cleaned up, but he was too tired to bother. One of the 'joys' of having a living body again was feeling real exhaustion, even after being healed. It was going to take some readjusting to get used to such feelings again.
Without a word, they moved to greet everyone, saved for Buu who stood in the shadows. No point causing a panic right away.
They were many shouts and cheers from their families.
Bulma and Trunks rushed to Vegeta's side, who tried to act uninterested.
Mr. Satan all but bear hugged his daughter, both crying in happiness.
Denda ran and embraced Mr. Popo who was in tears at seeing the young guardian alive. Piccolo looked on like a proud papa. He couldn't wiped that smirk off his face no matter how hard he tried.
As for himself, he picked up his youngest son who was smiling proudly at him.
"Daddy, you did it!" Goten cheered.
He smiled back, feeling a swell of happiness at seeing his family again.
When he said his goodbyes to Gohan, he was certain it was for the last time. At least until Gohan died, which he hoped wouldn't be for a very, very long time. He never dreamed that he would see them again not only so soon, but alive.
From the looked of things, they still hadn't realized that he was alive. Well, it wasn't a very noticeable thing since the only thing that told them that he was dead was his halo. In their joy and celebration they probably didn't wonder why he had returned.
The joyful reunions were interrupted when Buu poked his head around the corner.
Almost immediately, everyone was on edge and several of his friends took up fighting positions. Buu did himself no favors by sticking his tongue at them like a little boy.
He had to move fast to keep them from killing Buu, while Mr. Satan tried to explain what happened.
Needless to say, it was a long explanation that took almost an hour to get through. Even then, few really believed him.
"So, you're saying that this Buu is good now?" Krillin asked in disbelief. "The same Buu who turned entire cities into candy and ate them?"
Mr. Satan rubbed his head. "Well...yeah... I mean, he didn't know any better. Those evil people manipulated Buu and made him do those terrible things. He's not evil. Just misled."
"I can vouch for some of what he is saying," Piccolo suddenly spoke up. "I watched his interaction with Buu. Until two foolish and evil humans intervene, he was closed to rehabilitation him."
Denda nodded. "The Buus we fought after him were the evil within him. Now that they have been destroyed, this Buu is mostly good."
Master Roshi stroked his beard in wonder. "So, his situation is similar to Kami and Piccolo's. Except in this case the good personality can survive without the evil one."
"That seems to be the case," Piccolo said as he folded his arms. "However, even if this Buu lost his evil influence, he is still a chaotic being. There is a chance that he could go out of control or even produce another evil Buu."
"That's what I've been saying," Vegeta said before side-eyeing Goku. "I wanted to destroy this blob, but Kakarot insisted that we let him live because this human promised to look after him."
"And I will," Mr. Satan swore with absolute conviction. "Even if it cost me my life, I'll make sure Buu never harms another soul."
Videl looked at her dad in surprise. "Dad..."
There was a short silence.
"Despite everything, I can't help but to take him at his word," Yamcha mused mostly to himself.
Krillin shook his head. "I can't say that I'm completely happy about this. But, given that almost everyone here was once enemies and even murderers, I see no reason not to at least give him a chance."
18 kept an impassive expression, but brought Marron a little closer to her.
Piccolo hummed. "Given my own past, I am in no position to judge him."
Bulma shrugged and shook her head. "I can't say I forgive him for everything he's done. But, if I can forgive Vegeta, I'm in no place judge either."
Chi-Chi scowled. Obviously, she was still mad at Buu for nearly killing Gohan.
Trunks narrowed his eyes, trying to look intimidating. He also haven't forgiving Buu for killing his father.
Goten looked towards his big brother, wanting to see how he would react.
Gohan rubbed the back of his head. "Well, I think it will be okay. I mean, if Buu does do anything bad, I can stop him."
Mr. Satan looked tearfully at them. "Oh, thank you so much! Thank all of you! You guys won't regret this, I promise!"
Goku smiled at his son. "That's the spirit. Besides, after what Buu did for us today, we owe him the benefit of a doubt."
Vegeta snorted, still disliking keeping Buu alive.
Yamcha suddenly looked at Goku like it was his first time seeing him. "Speaking of which, Goku, how did you get back?"
Goku gave him a confused expression.
"I mean, I thought they said once your day was up you could never return to the lower realm," Yamcha explained. "Yet, you were able to come back and fight Buu."
"Oh, yeah. I was surprised too," Gohan said as he turned towards his father. "You saved us and came with earrings of all things."
Goku chuckled. "Well, the earrings were for us to fused with."
"Oh, I saw that!" Krillin exclaimed before laughing. "You and Vegeta fused and kicked Buu's butt all over the place! You were amazing!"
This got Piccolo's attention. "You got Vegeta to fuse with you?"
"And never again," Vegeta quickly added. "It was the worse experience of my life."
"But Vegeta, you were dead at the time," Goku pointed out.
Vegeta growled at him. "That's not the point!"
"Still, were you granted an exception so you could fight Buu for us?" Yamcha asked, getting back on subject.
Chi-Chi gave him a sad, desperate look. She looked closed to tears. "Then...that means you have to leave again?"
Goku folded his arms. "You haven't noticed something missing?"
Vegeta rolled his eyes. "You all are such an unobservant bunch."
There was a short paused before Krillin gasped. "Your...your halo…!"
This got everyone's attention. They looked towards the top of his head and saw that his halo was truly gone.
"You're right! It really is gone!" Yamcha exclaimed.
Krillin became teary eyed. "Does...does that mean...?"
Goku smiled as the realization hit them. "Yeah. Old Kai granted me a life. I'm not dead anymore."
The reaction was immediate.
They all stared at him like they'd never seen him before. Most couldn't believed what he was saying, while others looked so happy that they could jumped up and down and hugged him. The only person who seemed disinterested was 18.
Then again, Goku never seen her looked any other way. Well, that wasn't completely true. He had seen her smile at her daughter and some times at Krillin. And she was programmed to kill him, so she wouldn't really care about him.
Chi-Chi stared at her husband with eyes filled with unshed tears. "Does...does that mean you can come home and we can be a family? A family of four in our little house?"
Goku smiled at her. "Well that was what I was planning, if you guys think you can put up with me."
Without another word, Chi-Chi fell into his arms and cried into his chest.
He wasn't completely sure how he should react, so he gently put his arms around her.
The others were teary eyed too at the happy scene. Gohan and Goten especially looked ready to burst into tears of joy.
Goku couldn't help being touched. He knew he was missed. Their reaction when they saw him at the tournament told him as much. But, he didn't expect such a warm reaction from his return. Not after all this time and all that has happened.
He almost felt like crying himself, but held back. Perhaps it was out of pride that he didn't want to show any tears.
"Geez Chi-Chi, did you cry this much when I died?" he asked lightly, trying to ease her tears. This only made her sob harder.
He lost his humor. This wasn't the time for that. For her, her family was finally united. After losing Gohan, then her own life to Buu, she must have felt lost. Especially since no one was there to greet her in the afterlife.
He did feel a little guilty about that. After everyone was killed on the Lookout, he considered going to Heaven and greeted them. At least spending time with Chi-Chi before she was wished back to life.
But he felt he had to make sure Buu was dead before greeting any of his dead loved ones. He supposed even dead he wanted to make sure his boys were alright, although he was certain of Gohan's victory.
Goku broke himself out of his musing as he held Chi-Chi closer. None of that mattered anymore. They were all alive. By some miracle, they were given a second chance.
"It's okay now, I'm back for good," Goku smooth in his gentlest voice. Then, he said something he was certain he never said before. At least out loud. "I love you, Chi-Chi."
That really sent the waterworks going.
Slowly, the rest of the group moved away from them, given the reunited couple space. Gohan and Goten were the last to leave, both giving loving looks to their parents.
Goku wasn't sure how long he stood there smoothing his wife. He was beginning to worry that she might dehydrate at the rate she was going.
Was she really like this when he died, just a mess of tears? Yeah, Chi-Chi's been hard on him, especially in those three years before the androids. In those days, it wasn't uncommon for her to go days without speaking to him.
In fact, their relationship was all but on ice during that time period. There were times where he wondered if Chi-Chi liked him anymore since she blamed him for everything that has happened since Raditz came. She wasn't completely wrong in that thinking, but it still hurt at the time.
Then he became sick.
His memory of his illness was blurry; given everything was a big mess of anguish and feverous nightmares. Those were some terrible days. The pain was so overwhelming and consuming that there were times he wished he died. He remembered pleading for death at one point. Pleading for the pain to stop.
The medicine Trunks gave him was the only thing that made his sickness even remotely bearable. Without it, he was certain the pain alone would've killed him. He didn't even want to imagine what his future counterpart went through, dying in such a horrible way. He wouldn't wish his illness on anyone, not even his worst enemy.
Well...maybe Frieza. Maybe...
Somehow, through the fog of anguish and his barely conscious state, he heard Chi-Chi crying, begging for him to get well, and praying to any god that would listened that he would pull through.
He felt her trying to fight his fever and eased the nightmares that constantly haunted him. She never left his side and even stood up through the night to care for him. It was the most loving she has ever been towards him. Actually, it was the most loving anyone been to him outside his grandpa.
It was comforting. Almost like having a mother he imagined. Her presence gave him something to fight for. Something to remind him that there was a reason to fight the pain. It also told him that despite everything that's happened, she still loved him.
And, in that moment, he came to realize that he loved her too.
It's strange.
Before marrying Chi-Chi he knew what love was. He loved his grandpa and he loved his friends, even if he didn't know it was love at the time. But the concept of 'romantic' love escaped him. He knew Chi-Chi loved him, very much, but not in the same way his friends loved him. It was...deeper if that was the right word. He couldn't explained or understand it.
He always felt kinda guilty about that since he didn't return the kind of love Chi-Chi had for him. At least, that's what he believed.
Somewhere between marriage and that moment he was lying helpless in bed, he did fell in love with her. He never did figure out when, but it was definitely there.
Perhaps, that was another reason he chose to stay dead. With him gone, Chi-Chi could find someone who could really take care of her and not worry about them going off into space and fighting monsters. He could never be the kind of husband who got a job and paid bills. It just wasn't him. If what Chi-Chi wanted was a normal life, then his death gave her the freedom to have one.
But she didn't take it. She never remarried and still lived in that house in the mountains. She was free to do what she wanted; yet she stood by him loyally and now cried in his arms, happy that he'd returned.
It seemed...he was wrong about her.
"This...this is like a dream..." Chi-Chi spoke through her sobs. "After everything that's happened, we're a family again. I have all my boys back."
"I can hardly believe it myself," Goku spoke softly. "When I left here, I was sure it was for the final time."
Chi-Chi pulled away and stared at him. "I guess some good came out of Majin Buu." She reached out a hand and stroked his face. "He brought you back to me."
Goku laughed. "Funny how that worked out."
She stopped stroking his cheek. She reached down and grabbed his hand, squeezing it firmly. "I have so much to tell you. And the boys, I'm sure they do too, especially Goten. Oh, this is just so wonderful. He gets to have his daddy."
He didn't smile at the mention of Goten. Did he even want a father after all this time? They were practically strangers.
Before he could think further on the subject, Chi-Chi dragged him towards the others with a big smile on her face.
"Goku's home! My Goku's home!" she cheered.
Bulma smiled happily at them. "I know the feeling." She grabbed and squeezed Vegeta's arm. He did his best to look uncomfortable. "I thought I lost Vegeta forever, too. But I know that doesn't even compare to your lost. Goku has been gone for seven years."
"Man, so much has changed after you left. We have a lot of catching up to do," Krillin said with a huge smile. He was now holding his daughter.
"You know, you never really introduced your daughter to me," Goku pointed out.
Krillin was surprised to hear that. "Oh. I meant to do it after the tournament, but then all that stuff with Buu happened and I forgot." He quickly recomposed himself and smiled. "This is Marron." He turned towards his daughter. "Marron, you know about Uncle Goku I've been telling you about."
Goku chuckled. "Uncle, huh?" He leaned down until he was at Marron's level. "Hi there. Sorry I didn't formally introduce myself." He brought his hand up.
At first, Marron seemed a little shy, but after a few seconds she grabbed the offered hand. "Wow! You're warm for someone who's dead!"
"Marron!" Krillin exclaimed.
"Aw, it's okay. She's so much like you when you were little...er," Goku lightly teased.
Krillin growled at him and the others chuckled.
"Although, Marron," Goku mused for several seconds. "Isn't that the name of one of your girlfriends?"
Krillin blushed. "I...I don't know what you're talking about!"
"I could have sworn Gohan told me you had a girlfriend named Marron once," Goku said. He looked up and saw Master Roshi and Gohan trying to wave him off.
"You named our daughter after one of your exs?" 18 asked in a cold voice.
Krillin stuttered for an answer. "Well you see...I didn't name her after that Marron. Marron's just a cute name and all...and I thought it went well with my name since your's just a number... I mean...you didn't give me your real name... Not that there's anything wrong with that!"
Goku felt bad for getting his friend in trouble. This wasn't a good way to integrate back into the world.
Vegeta laughed. "Naming your child after a former suitor? You're braver than I thought."
This made Krillin snapped. "At least she isn't named after underwear!"
Vegeta tilted his head. "Who's named after underwear?"
"That's enough!" Bulma snapped, hitting Krillin upside the head.
"Who's named after underwear?" Vegeta repeated, truly confused.
Bulma laughed nervously. "Don't listen to him. He's just crazy in the head."
Goku could only looked on in amusement. That went to weird places in a hurry. How he missed his friends. The people in the Otherworld may be more colorful, but they didn't hold a candle to them.
At that moment, a huge rumbled filled the Lookout, startling everyone.
"What's...what's that!?" Yamcha asked, getting on guard.
"Has something else happened?" Piccolo wondered, casting his senses to the lower world. He didn't sense any evil. Everything was perfectly calmed.
Goku also looked around for the source of the noise. It sounded vaguely familiar to him. The noise stopped and started again, but this time he felt his stomach vibrate.
"Oh, it's me," Goku said, causing his friends to turned towards him. "It's my stomach."
Almost everyone face-faulted when they heard that.
"Your stomach! I thought it was an earthquake!" Krillin yelled.
Goku rubbed his head. "Yeah, sorry. To be honest, this is the first time I've been hunger since I died."
"But I've seen you eat, dad," Gohan pointed out. "You even said you were hungry at one point."
"Well, eating was more of a pleasure. I didn't need to actually eat," Goku explained. "When I said I was hungry, I wasn't actually hungry. I just wanted to eat something."
Gohan paused. "Huh, I guess that makes sense."
Buu smiled. "If hungry, Buu can make food."
Mr. Satan quickly stopped him. "Buu, you can't make food out of people anymore. That's not good."
"Buu knows. Was going to turn rocks into food for good man," he stated.
"Oh," Mr. Satan said meekly. "Sorry for doubting you."
"That's okay. I have a huge meal waiting at home," Chi-Chi said with a smile.
This got Goku's attention. "Really!?"
"It was supposed to be a feast for after the tournament," Chi-Chi said. "With everything back to normal, it should be there."
Goku drooled at the thought. He got to have Chi-Chi's cooking again. This was better than Heaven.
"Wow, we finally get to have mom's cooking again!" Goten cheered, unknowingly voicing his father's thoughts.
"Yes, let's get home right away!" Goku exclaimed before he stopped. He suddenly looked somewhat pale.
Master Roshi took noticed. "What's wrong, Goku?"
After several seconds, Goku sighed. "I just rediscovered something else about being alive. 'Cuse me." He turned around and headed towards the temple.
"Goku, where are you going?" Ox-King asked.
"I need to use the bathroom," Goku answered without turning around or stopping. "You might want to get comfortable. This could take a minute."
This caused several in the group to sigh, while others snickered.
After over twenty minutes had past, the Son family was flying off the Lookout. Instead of taking the Nimbus, Chi-Chi chose to ride in Goku's arms. He supposed it was so she could feel closed to him. Gohan and Goten were flying by their side, smiling at having their family united. They did invite the Ox-King, but he declined. He wanted them to spend their first night together alone.
"Hey dad, do you remember the way back?" Gohan asked.
Goku smiled. "Even if I'm gone twenty years, I will always remember how to get back home."
Home...
If felt strange to say that. He's been dead for seven years and yet he still considered Earth his home. The other dead fighters had moved away from their home planets. Some barely remembered what their planet of birth looked like or even its name. Then again, most of them have been dead for centuries, some for thousands of years. The world they knew went away a long time ago. It would hardly be considered home.
His situation was different. Seven years was a heartbeat among the dead. Not to mention the lost of memories.
He lowered his head.
For a time, he had actually forgotten about his friends and family. King Kai warned him that it would happen. That as he stood in Otherworld his memories of his life would fade. According to him, this was to keep the dead warriors from interfering with the lives of the living.
It was also to protect them if something bad happened to their world. Like if an evil force came to destroyed their planet, they wouldn't angst about being unable to help or to save their loved ones. They couldn't miss what they couldn't remember, after all. They wouldn't remember until their loved ones passed and they saw them again in the afterlife.
When he asked why he didn't lose his memories the first time he died it was because he had something to focus on. The Saiyans were coming and he had to become stronger to saved everyone. There was also the fact that he knew he would be revived. It was the same reason why his dead friends kept their memories before their revival. Since he chose not to be revived and had nothing to focus his mind on the living realm, the effects of being dead hit him.
It was gradual. First, names and places left his mind, then faces, then memories of his adventures. He could still remember some of them, but they were in broad strokes. He couldn't recall the details. Before long, his life on Earth all but disappeared.
He remembered none of them until Baba came, offering him to come back for a day.
He was confused at first. Why did he want to go back to Earth? There was nothing for him there.
It wasn't until Baba showed him his loved ones on her crystal ball that he remembered. He was shocked that seven years went by in the living realm and Gohan had grown into a young man who was going to school and dressing as a super hero, for some reason.
He barely recognized Krillin who grew a head full of hair and started a family. What really surprised him was that Bulma and Vegeta actually got married. He didn't even want to guess how that happened. Their very relationship was one of the many wonders of the universe.
Time had moved on without him and he didn't remember it. It was an awful feeling.
Although, it wasn't nearly as awful as returning to the Otherworld after his time was up. Goten, the son he didn't know existed until yesterday, wanted to hug him one last time. The gestured almost moved him to tears not just because his son had come to love him in such a short amount of time, but because he wouldn't even remember him in a few days. He hoped if he focused hard enough that he could keep that memory if nothing else.
Thankfully, that was no longer an issue.
He was alive and no longer in danger of forgetting. In fact, he could create new memories with his sons.
By the time he returned from his thoughts, they were over the mountains. Within a few more minutes, they landed in front of the house.
It was just as he remembered. Nothing had changed. It seemed this place was truly timeless. To think, Buu had destroyed this place along with the rest of the planet. Thank the Kais for the Namekians Dragon Balls. It would be a tragedy to lose this place.
He carefully put his wife down and she and their sons made their way towards the house. He didn't move from his spot.
Chi-Chi took noticed of this. "Goku?"
His sons turned towards him.
"Daddy, what's wrong?" Goten asked in worry.
Goku remained silent for several seconds. "When I left here seven years ago, I was certain that I would never see this place again. I...I never thought I would return here. Yet here I am. It's almost like no time has past."
Chi-Chi walked over to him and grabbed his arm. "Don't think about such things. You're home now and that's what matters now."
She pulled him inside and what awaited him stopped his breath.
The kitchen was filled with food, so much that it spilled into the living room. At the entrance was a banner with 'WELCOME HOME' written across it. It was more than he ever expected.
It was only supposed to be a day, yet they did all this for him? What did he do to deserve such a loving family?
Chi-Chi hugged him and kissed his cheek. "Welcome home, Goku."
Gohan and Goten also hugged him. "Welcome home, dad."
For the first time in years, a few tears fell from his eyes.
He was home.
I would call that a successful first chapter. It actually could work as an one-shot, but I'm not quite finish with Goku yet. There are many issues and talks that need to be done. Until next chapter.
