Through everything you've been through, all the battles with gods and demons, Destroyers and Angels, avatars of Order and Chaos, all of them failed to kill you. Even the Gods of Time tried their hand, yet in the end it seems old age the only one to best you. “AAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAA!!”
“Karn? Are you-?” Towa asks, your laugh trailing off as you look to her with a smile.
“It's just funny, after everything. Old age what nearly gets me.” you reply to her, the former Demon Princess shaking her head. But you see her smile as well as you turn your attention to your son. “Gather your siblings, if you would. It's time.”
“I understand.” Chilli replies somberly, knowing what is about to happen. And before your children all show up you take back to the air, straining a bit to fly back up to the hole in the ship where your wife is standing. And seeing you, from the look in her eyes you know she knows.
“Karn, don't tell me... Not today.” she says, you sensing her denial and flying right up to her. “You can't go yet.”
“It's okay, hun. I've lived a good life.” you tell her, flying up level with her face, leaning in and giving her one last kiss, holding her in your arms. “Thank you, for everything. For always staying by my side.”
“Don't go Karn. Please.” she says, your heart breaking. Reaching out, you hug her to you, pressing her head to your chest and resting your chin on her head. “I don't know what I'll do without you.”
“When it's your turn, they'll bring you too. I know we won't be apart too long.” you tell her, comforting your wife. “But I have to go first. I'll have a place for us when you come to join me, all ready for us.”
“I know. But I'll miss you.” she responds as you start sensing your children returning home one by one. Leaving the worlds they now call home, several bringing their own families or others with them. All the different races some have married into, while others made families with other Saiyans. And in just a minute, there are now over a hundred beings on your island who weren't there a few minutes ago. “I love you.”
“Love you. Cheer me on, will you?” you ask, getting her to give a smile through her tears.
“Y-Yeah. Always.” your wife says, voice shaking. “Always and forever.”
The two of you share one last look, you knowing the next time you'll see her will be on the other side. So you take her in, every inch of her as you remember everything you two have been through before turning, addressing everyone gathered below.
