Hope you guys enjoy this chap and don't forget to drop a power stone!

The dust had settled. Hearts was killed in battle and Lagss was nowhere to be found. During the midst of battle he told her that her services were no longer required.

As she wasn't a god herself she let her go, despite her fervent denial to leave. She ended up leaving in anger, tossing her Dragon Ball at Hearts. Speaking of which Nao was on the ground. He spotted two Dragon Balls and collected them.

He then spotted the last one where Zamasu vanished into oblivion, and picked it up. During this time Gogeta split apart, becoming Goku and Vegeta again. Weary looks appeared in their eyes as everyone gathered around them.

”Is it finally over?”, Trunks asked with worry.

”Yeah. I no longer sense Hearts's ki. He was such a monster.”, Piccolo chimed in.

”Ya bet that right. But what is Nao doin'?”, Goku asked, letting out a sigh.

”Is he...collecting Dragon Balls!?”, Vegeta questioned as he saw Nao picking the last three up.

”Seems like it. Let's wait. Looks like he's coming over.”, 17 said, suggesting the team.

After another moment passed Nao was able to secure the last three Dragon Balls, storing them away in his pocket dimension, which surprised the group once again, as they saw them vanish into a black hole of sorts.

He now had all seven Dragon Balls!

Nao obtained the first two from Fu after he tossed Alter Toppo and Ribrianne at him back on planet Earth. He was able to get the third and fourth by killing C.u.mber and the Tuffle twins. The last three came from Zamasu, Lagss and Hearts.

Even though he knew where Fu was now, he still needed the Dragon ;Balls to open the path. His spatial powers or Time Ring wasn't enough!

Nao smiled after knowing he had all seven now, and he proceeded to join the the Z Fighters. He waved his hand and greeted them.

”Yo, everyone. Glad to see you guys are still in one piece.”

”Hehe, right back at ya, Lord Supreme Kai.”, Goku said with a laugh.

Hearing this still caused the others to remember that Nao was q Supreme Kai. Yet all they saw was Goku walk up to Nao, who had his left fist raised in the air. Goku lifted his right and the two did a fist pump.

The others finally let out a sigh of relief as the suns rays lit up a beautiful orange sunset.

”Come on Goku, how many times do I need to say to stop calling me like that. Haha!”, Nao replied back with laugh of his own.

Seeing this, Vegeta raised his eyebrow in doubt.

”Since when have you two been all buddy-buddy? It disgusts me. I still can't believe a Saiyan managed to even become a Supreme Kai in the first place. At least you have some capability.”, Vegeta spoke up while clicking his tongue.

Hearing Vegeta say that, Goku let out another laugh.

”Hahaha! Typical of you to say that, Vegeta. It's suprisin' you accepted my request to fuse with me. Don't ya hate doin' that?”

”W-we had no other choice, damn it! You know I hate fusing with you!”

After hearing Vegeta yell that out, everyone laughed. Jiren and Hit could also be seen among them, and Jiren spoke out to Goku with a questioning voice.

”Is that the reason you never showed this in the Tournament of Power, Goku?”

”Yeah. But everything is over now. Let's go celebrate 'cause I'm starvin'! You comin' with us, Nao?”

Qs Goku asked that, he tried to place his arm over Nao's shoulder to bring him closer, but he suddenly felt his whole arm pass through air, with no resistance.

”Huh?”, Goku questioned. The others also became surprised as they could see Nao blinking in and out of existence, with his body no longer whole.

Nao could only scratch his head and let out a chuckle.

”Haha, I wish I can go with you guys but it looks like my time is up here. Time Travel still seems to have some heavy restrictions in this place.”

”Time Travel? Now ya did mention somethin' about that but looks like I ended up forgettin'.”, Goku replied with a bit of shame in his tone.

”Yeah. But I need to do one more thing before I go. Also, Piccolo do look after these guys okay? You're always the most level headed figure there is in this group. ”

”I'll gladly do so, for receiving such praise from a Supreme Kai. I'll make sure these idiots do nothing rash. But what is it that you still need to do?”, Piccolo questioned.

But before Nao could respond, Vegeta yelled out in anger.

”Hey! Who are you calling an idiot!?”, Vegeta yelled out in anger.

Having him yell that however only caused everyone to burst out in laughter, causing Vegeta's cheeks to turn red in embarrassment. Nao chuckled as well before he turned his back to the group.

In the far distance he could see several glints of light shining thanks to the rays of the sun, scattered around the endless stretches of craters and dirt. If one looked closely these were rainbow shards, the very same from the Universe Seed Nao and Gogeta had shattered it moments ago!

Seeing thus, Nao raised his arm and gestured his fist. Everyone saw z golden aura wrap around it, similar to how Hearts uses his. All of a sudden everyone saw massive amounts of rainbow shards hover into the air, before slowly reforming in Nao's palm.

Everyone became wide eyed seeing the Universe Seed form once again.

”T-that is!”, Trunks yelled out in shock.
