Chapter 27

Rick ran quickly to Brass and sat him up against a tree. The Kogan Ninja opened his eyes and
saw everyone staring at him with worried looks on their faces. “Come on kid, keep your eyes
open,” Rick said worriedly.

“Don’t die on us now,” Cloud added.

“I’m afraid I will, I can feel my energy escaping my body...” Brass managed to say between gasps.
“I’d like to thank all of you for treating me as a real person... not as a ninja warrior nor not as an
assassin who you should stay away from like a plague. You treated me with kindness even
though I was rude in return... thank you...” He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He
opened them again and looked at Vegeta. “Vegeta... I guess you were wrong... I’ll never return
to a normal life since it’s finished... although I don’t really want to die now even though I said
I’m prepared to die any minute... there’s so much I don’t know or haven’t seen in the world...
I’ll never know what being an ordinary person is like... I’ll never see the things I wanted to see...
eighteen years is short...” he finished and died.

“No, you can’t die! We’re so close to getting Dr. Gero!” Chunli sobbed while shaking Brass’
limp body.

“Chunli, there’s nothing we can do...” Rick whispered to her and took her away from Brass,
letting her sob on his chest.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! You pathetic life forms, your emotions and feelings are what make you weak!”
Cell cackled.

“Shut up! Brass is gone...” Vegeta yelled. “...he’ll no longer talk, laugh, or get angry again.
What about us, what are WE suppose to do? What about our pain? My fingers are tingling, my
mouth is dry, and my eyes are burning!” Vegeta turned Super Saiyan and charged at the android
above.

“Come on guys, let’s do this one for Brass, his clan, and all the people this accursed army killed,”
Dennis told everyone and went Youko.

Vegeta and Cell were trading blows in the air and neither was successful on hitting the other. Cell
then finally caught him with a punch on the stomach, sending Vegeta to the ground. “Ha ha ha
ha! I’ll kill all of you like that pathetic ninja!”

“Captain Swooorrrddd!” Rick yelled and fired a blue beam at him. Cell didn’t realize the attack
coming and it cutted off his right arm. “Oh no...” he panicked and flew away.

“It’s over... for now,” Rick panted. They then turned to Brass and looked at him closely. Vegeta
stepped up to him and picked him up. He walked all the way to the middle of the lake with Brass
in his arms.

“Don’t worry kid, I’ll get you back...” Vegeta whispered as he let go of his body, letting him sink.
