Spina stood up from the ground to stand on his two feet to face Kai after she said that. He noticed that his right hand had become transparent, phasing in and out as if it were trying to maintain balance. Raising his head so his eyes locked onto hers, Spina remained silence. There were no words, no sense of emotions. Nothing. Two individuals standing across from each other as more pillars shot up from the ground around them.
As the last of the pillars appeared, Spina decided to break the silence towards the one person he considered a friend. “Hanging on, what do you mean by that?” Blinking once, Spina’s eyes widened when he felt Kai’s hands on his cheeks; the distance between their faces were mere inches apart.
“Let go.”
The old Saiyan’s body felt heavy, as if the whole world were weighing him down. The sensation of Kai’s hands felt real as she touches, but the feeling quickly fades as sank to the ground before being consumed by another abyss of darkness. The falling felt endless as Spina attempts, struggling, to fly up, but it only makes him fall into the bottomless dark even faster.
Unable to see Kai from the above, flashes of light flickering around caught his attention. An influx of screens appeared around Spina that showcase various points of his life. Looking around frantically, a sudden flash of light appeared in front of the old Saiyan, revealing a giant screen that practically eclipse him in terms of size. His eyes narrowed upon seeing his own father, a man he had not seen in literal centuries. Standing over an incubator of the Spina as a baby, the father turns to the meter that determines one’s power level; It reads that he had a power level of a mere 5. The sheer display of disappointment was clearly shown on his father’s face. It quickly transitions to a much older Spina getting a stern lecture from both the King of the Saiyans and his son, Vegeta. Feeling the sense of humiliation, Spina dared his right hand to strike the child, only to be immediately defeated. In the pool of his own blood, battered with wounds, Spina was hopelessly outmatched, and waits for death by the hands of a mere child, before his father step in to plead with the royal family to spare his life. A contradiction of a Saiyan-like behavior, the father begs pathetically for them to reconsider on killing the warrior—they agreed, and instead opted to deliver the final to him as punishment for such deviance.
Young Spina’s eyes widen as his father flung back as bits of his flesh flung out, just as the King and Prince turned their backs to walk away before fading into black. The next scene shows Spina standing over his father, covered in bandages, lying in bed. The father turns to Spina and uttered few words to say to weak and pathetic Saiyan. “Your death ought to not be shameful. We are Saiyans, my son, we deserved a death fitting for our vigor; a worthy death of glory.” Spina remained still after his final words before passing, as the intense rage and anger was visible on his face.
In the rapid fire of transition scenes displayed on the screen, as Spina decided to go on a path to increase his strength. Become stronger, become fierce, become a Saiyan warrior worth of an intense battle. In a rampage and face constant near-death experience, the Saiyan was determined to harden himself to become an incredible warrior that fear no death, no challenge and his ever-growing vigor to overcome his own weakness. Many opponents that came in his wake was brutally killed in his effort to find a suitable opponent to die. A death-seeker, he had no qualms nor any bearings on relationships that they had, nor himself had. In his head, they were utterly meaningless. Then the screen slowed down, and focus on a single target, Kai, tilted her head. A capable warrior that shown him the concept of mercy, but furthermore, gave him a reason of life and granted him the ability to form bonds. Then a crack appeared across the screen before shattering into pieces.
Spina tried to reach out for her, only to fall once again. What felt like hours, the old Saiyan landed on the ground in the middle of abyss of darkness. Once again, he looked around and see nothing but a sea of darkness until his eyes lay on the mirror that seemingly appeared. Walking closer to the mirror, his eyes narrowed upon seeing Vegetto on the mirror.
Vegetto stared Spina with a grim expression before uttering: “She means more than [they] ever will! Bring her back right now!!"
Then it switches to Cuki. “It's my fault I couldn't control an unstoppable power. And here I thought that Kai-girl you rambled about showed you the meaning of mercy. Well, you let her down.”
And finally, Bernkastel with her unmoving expression. “Do you intend to change things this time around, or will you go back to your old life as a thug skulking around for the next scrap of violence to entertain you?”
As these statement echoes around the Saiyan, Spina finally saw himself in the mirror—of his appearance before being suck away to this world. The mirror Spina raised his head with disappointment on his face. “How long do you intend to lie to yourself of your true desire?”
“I’m not lying.” Spina responded to himself.
“Do you admit that you purposely led to Doom’s strength, just so you can have that death of glory?”
“No. That’s not true.”
“How long will you delude yourself that these bonds, promises and mercy are nothing more than chains that suppress your desire? You are nothing more than stepping-stones. Humiliation will come once again.”
“Enough.”
“How long until you finally decide to let go.”
Spina raised his fist and punched the mirror so hard that it cracks. Lowering his hand, he once again looked himself at the mirror, seeing a ravage warrior on the other side. He looked at right hand; bloodied with shards stick out. Shaking rapidly, Spina tried to control his breathing as sweats dripped down his forehead.

A flash of colorful lights appeared behind him, causing him to turn around; his eyes widening at the appearance of a figure levitating above him. Doctor Doom was hovering above Spina with a horde of all opponents, that Spina crossed in his path, coming out of the pillars. Among them was all the Breakers, Demi-Fiend, and people he met within Reality Vortex. Each of them had pure excitement and rage on their faces towards the old Saiyan. Slowly, Doctor Doom removed his mask, revealing to be Kai, causing the Spina to narrow his eyes.
[align=center]How are you going to live now?
How are you going to keep living now?
You never changed.
Immediately, everyone fires countless energy blasts at him. Like a rain of diamonds falling out from the sun, Spina leaped towards the air into the cluster of energy. Blasting him from all directions, Spina remerged from the explosions in his strongest transformed state, although critically injured, as he tried to get closer to Kai.
You’ll never change, remaining like this until the day you die
Your true feelings have sunk to the bottom of a deep and dark swamp -
Yes, they’ve built and built until they’ve flooded over.
Horde of enemies, including the Breakers, jumped onto Spina, throwing countless attacks at the Saiyan. Spina fought without mercy nor care as he storms through the cluster of opponents. Body parts flying, and screams piercing through his ears, Spina shouted for Kai, but the sheer number of enemies was overwhelming. Punched by Demi-Fiend, slammed around by Cuki, cut and slice by Cross. Spina roared in pain as he bashed through them. Yet, despite the desperation of reaching Kai, he found himself excited at the sheer number of enemies rushing him. Making a genuine smile as he puts up a fight, he fought them all with his might. No matter how much he beat, no matter how much he destroyed, they keep coming ad infinitum. His adrenaline pumping, his power rising at the eruption of new challenges, Spina roared like a mighty warrior ready to die.
Yet seconds later, he realized that what he has been doing. As Bernkastel grabbed Spina in a chokehold, Spina turned his sights to Kai, floating away from the scene. Crying out in pain, Spina blasted himself forward as more and more enemies piled him on. He extended his arm out to reach Kai, but it was not enough. As Kai fades, with a strange monster that he seen in his dreams earlier, appeared behind her, as Spina desperately stared until he was completely engulfed in the horde.
“Bye”
