Chapter 4: Pan is Born! The Birth of The Saiya Force!

4 months have passed since Beerus the Destroyer and Son Gohan had their epic clash, and things have gone back to normal. Gohan, Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks are training together in a wasteland by Mount Pauzu. Gohan insisted he stay close to home so he can be nearby whenever Videl has the baby. Although, she still has a month until her due date.

"HYAH!" Goten and Trunks cried out in unison as they attacked Piccolo together.

"Galick Gun!" Trunks blasted.

"Kamehameha!" Goten ripped.

"Nice try." Piccolo grinned as he backhanded both attacks away. "But try this on for size!" Piccolo stretched both of his arms out and quickly grabbed both of the young Saiyans, throwing them into each other.

"Ow! That hurt Piccolo!" Goten held back tears as he rubbed the bruise on his head.

"Let's fuse, c'mon Goten!" Trunks smirked.

"Right. Fu-sion-"

"No fusing." Piccolo barked, making the two saiyans jump.

"No fair! Why not?" Trunks protested.

"You both need to get stronger individually. That'll make your fusion even stronger." Piccolo explained, wasting no time with attacking the boys again.

"That's lame! Tell him it's no fair Gohan!" Goten called out to his brother a few dozen yards away, meditating deeply.

"How many time do I need to tell you Goten! Don't bother your brother right now! He's doing intense mental training!" Piccolo hushed Goten.

"I still don't get why he's doing that. It's weird!" Trunks interjected, giving a grumpy glance in Gohan's direction.

"He's trying to unlock that god power he used against Beerus." Piccolo elaborated. "His body somehow retained some of it's power in his base form, however if Beerus is ever going to return, Gohan will need even more power than he had in their first fight."

"So he thinks just sitting there is gonna make him as strong as the God of Destruction?" Trunks mocked.

"He's not just sitting there!" Piccolo snapped, growing tired of the boys constant jabber. 'Only a few more weeks.' Piccolo consoled himself. 'Only a few more weeks and these two are back in school and out of my hair…'

"Just come at me again you two! I promise if you can work on fighting unfused, Gotenks power is gonna increase exponentially!"

"Right." The two nodded as they charged Piccolo.

"Galick Gun!" Trunks shot another blast at Piccolo.

'Idiot! Don't try the same things over and ov-' Piccolo's train of thought was cut short by Goten, pounding Piccolo's backside and sending him flying to Trunks, who bicycle kicked Piccolo back to Goten. "Pinball attack!" Goten and Trunks laughed in unison.

'Damn kids.' Piccolo chuckled as he escaped the boys stupid pinball thing, promptly initiating a counterattack and separating the two using the multi form technique.

"Shoot! Hey Piccolo why can't you teach us this no fair!" Goten complained as he faced off against the assault of two Piccolos.

"Yeah, this would be a really cool tool for Gotenks arsenal!" Trunks echoed while being forced to jump around like a puppet dodging his two Piccolos attacks.

"Hmm.. Perhaps this is not a bad idea." Piccolo mused as he formed back into one person. "Very well you two, I shall teach you the multi form techni-" Piccolo was cut off by the sound of the walkie talkie on Gohan's belt buckle. Chi Chi could be heard on the other end, and this broke Gohan out of his mental training.

"What is it Mom?" Gohan responded, getting a good stretch in.

"It's Videl! She's heading to the hospital! She's having the baby!"

"WHAT!?" Gohan spat, his eyes grown huge. "But it's still a month till she's-"

"Yeah I know! I don't know what to tell you Gohan, just get over here!" Chi Chi barked through the walkie talkie.

"You guys keep training alright? I'll let you know when the baby's born." Gohan gave the three a quick nod as he blasted off to the hospital.

"Ah man, I wanted to go!" Goten whined. "Oh well… Alright Piccolo, let's get back to that multi form thingy!"

"Videl!" Gohan blasted the hospital doors open, rushing into the building in a frenzy. "Excuse me! Do you know what room Videl is in!?" Gohan shook a nurse wildly.

"Videl? Hmmm." The nurse flipped through her patient book. "Sorry son, no Videl here."

"What! But that's impossible! My Mom said they were on their way to the hospital!" Gohan began hyperventilating.

"Calm down, calm down… Did you mother say which hospital? You know there is more than one hospital in these parts."

Gohan stood silent, staring blankly at the nurse for what felt like hours. 'What hospital were they going too? I just assumed they were coming to Pauzu General because it was so close, but Mom always hated this hospital, said it was too dirty… Where the hell are they?' Gohan thanked the nurse as he rocketed out of the building, flying high in the sky to get a good look around.

"Uhhhh…" The nurse dropped all her files as she watched Gohan fly away. "You're welcome?"

And so began the long undertaking of Gohan checking every hospital he could find. After a few hours and 17 hospitals checked, he collapsed on a rock. "Damn! I'm gonna miss the birth of my daughter! This stinks!" It was at this moment that his walkie talkie finally picked up a signal.

"GOHAN! GOHAN! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!?" It is Chi Chi, of course.

"Mom! I lost signal with you guys what hospital are you at!?" Gohan clutched the walkie talkie, trying hard not to crush it.

"At Pauzu General you idiot! Come on! Videl is having the baby any minute now!"

"I went to Pauzu first but the nurse said you weren't there!"

"Well considering you flew to the hospital and we took the car, you probably arrived before we did!" Chi Chi screamed, forcing Gohan to hold the walkie talkie away from him even further.

Without another word Gohan barreled back to Pauzu General, and finally reunited with Videl, Chi Chi, Ox King, and Mr. Satan. "Gohan!" Videl called through the contractions as her fiance ran up to hold her hand.

After another incredibly excruciating hour of labour, it was finally over. The baby was born. "What should we name her?" Gohan asked as he and Videl took turns holding their daughter.

"Pan. I like that name. It's simple and cute." Videl beamed, turning to Gohan as the new family all embraced.

"She's… She's gonna be a great fighter like her Grandpa!" Mr. Satan sobbed, using Chi Chi's dress as a tissue, much to her disdain.

And so Gohan and Videl spent the next few weeks at home, struggling something fierce to keep their daughter under control. She had Saiyan in her, that was for sure. Eventually, after about a month of caring for Pan, Gohan grew restless, wanting to get back to training.

"Just a few more weeks Gohan." Videl sighed, not wanting to have to deal with Pan alone just yet.

"I need to keep training though Videl! So I can keep on protecting the two of you." Gohan put his hand on Videl's shoulder. "Please honey."

"Well…" Videl began to think about it when they both shot up.

"A pretty big ki is heading to Earth!" Videl snapped. "It's not Beerus here for a rematch is it?"

"The fact that you sense it too tells us it's not Beerus… But still, this power is significant, I'll go and check it out." Gohan gave a quick hug to Videl and Pan before flying off towards where the ki was landing. 'He's landing near Capsule Corp. I think.'

"You sensed it too eh?" Gohan looked over to see Piccolo flying next to him. "You came out of nowhere!" Gohan laughed. "But yeah, it's an odd ki. I don't think it's evil, but it's not like anything I've ever sensed before."

Piccolo nodded. "Even if it is evil, it shouldn't be too big a threat."

"Yeah, hopefully." Gohan tapered off.

In no time at all the two arrived at Capsule Corp. to find an alien spaceship had landed in the garden. Whomever was inside it had already gotten out.

"Hello?" Gohan called out, looking to find the pilot.

"Oh! Hey Gohan!" Bulma greeted as she appeared with an odd looking purple alien.

"Hey, Bulma!" Gohan pointed at Bulma's enlarged belly. "You've gained a lot of weight!"

"Of course I have you idiot I'm pregnant!" Bulma angrily smacked Gohan upside the head.

"Oh. How did that happen?" Gohan asked, genuinely curious.

"The day Vegeta came back for my birthday. I'll leave it at that." Bulma blushed.

"Uhh… Well in any case Bulma I thank you for your help, but I must be going now." The alien chimed in, waving farewell.

"Wait! You were the real reason we came over here. You have an impressive ki, who are you?" Gohan asked, shaking the alien's hand.

"That's Jaco, he's a space crime fighter!" Trunks butted in as he and Goten flew down.

"Wow! Really!?" Gohan turned to Jaco excitedly.

"He is not incorrect." Jaco slyly grinned. "You see, I am a super elite. The Galactic Patrolman, Jaco!" Jaco announced as he did a flamboyant pose. "Fighting crime is the game, so don't you dare forget the name." Jaco gave Gohan a wink as the Saiyan began to fangirl all over him.

"That's so cool! You must have some incredible stories!" Gohan bubbled as he got really close to Jaco.

"Uhhh. Yeah, can you back off a bit please?" Gohan apologized as he backed up a few feet. "Thanks. In any case yeah, an elite like me has seen some stuff. Crazy stuff... Like this mission I'm on now. I'm after an intergalactic criminal known as Gami. He's been on the lamb ever since he robbed the 1st Galactic Bank, stealing upwards of 150 million spacebucks. I just stopped off here at Bulma's to get some fuel before I finally corner him once and for all!"

"That's awesome!" Gohan squealed, beginning to perspire. "Can I come with you? I could help!"

"Uhhh… I'm okay, thanks pal, but I don't think it's very safe for a pedestrian like yourself.

"Jaco, this is the guy who killed Majin Buu." Bulma cut in.

"YOU!" Jaco did a spit take. "You defeated Majin Buu!?"

"Yeah. Well, I mean it was a team effort." Gohan shrugged.

"Well I mean if you wish to accompany me Mr-"

"Gohan. But for this mission you will call me…" Gohan whipped out his special watch as Piccolo, Trunks, and Bulma began to facepalm. "THE GREAT SAIYAMAN!" The Great Saiyaman had appeared once again, seemingly one upping Jaco in the flamboyance department. "Champion of Justice! Conqueror of Evil! Purveyor of Peace and Love! I am the one, the only, the GREAT SAIYAMAN!" Gohan danced.

"Well, at least his speech is a little better." Bulma sighed. "A little."

Jaco, however, was very impressed. "Wow! It makes sense now! You really are the one who slayed Majin Buu! It would be an honour to work with you Great Saiyaman!"

"As it would with you, Super Elite!" Gohan glowed.

"Hey, I wanna be a superhero too!" Goten protested, jealous of his brother's getup.

"You do?" Trunks spun to Goten, disappointed in his friend.

"Well I mean if you want to Goten, I made a second one of those supersuits that Gohan has on. It's designed to be one size fits all, so give it a go!" Bulma tossed the second watch to the elated Goten.

"Cool!" Goten beamed as he hit the watch, transforming into a miniature Great Saiyaman. "Wowee! Look Gohan! What should my name be?"

"How about… Great Saiyakid?" Gohan suggested.

"Yeah yeah yeah! Fighter of good! Err… I mean Fighter of evil! Helper for the peace… or… yeah. Look out villains because the GREAT SAIYAKID IS HERE!" Goten clumsily delivered as he jumped into a pose with Gohan and Jaco.

"Well… Well I wanna be a hero too!" Trunks whined, now wanting to be a hero since Goten was one.

"Sorry Trunks, I thought you said that stuff was dorky and lame... I only made the two watches… Well what about this!" Bulma quickly whipped up a costume for Trunks, using a bed sheet as a cape, a bucket as headgear, a mop as a weapon, and Trunks old crimson onesie pajamas as a suit.

"Mom this sucks! I look like a janitor with a mental condition!" Trunks protested, growing red in embarrassment as everyone stared at him.

"Nah, it's super cool Trunks!" Goten countered, complimenting his friend. "You could be a janitor super hero. The Crimson Custodian!"

"Crimson Custodian… Hey, that's not so bad Goten! Yeah! He sweeps evil into the trash! He mops up all the competition! Duster of Demons! Washer of windows! He's the one, the only, Crimson Custodian!" Trunks laughed as he joined in on the poses.

"What about you Piccolo!" Goten turned to the namekian. "You should be a superhero too.

"I'd hardly-"

"What about the Green Guardian!?" Trunks chirped.

"That's really a horribl-"

"Guardian of Peace! He slays the mightiest beasts! He's a blur that's never been seen, and he's a beautiful shade of green! He's the Green Guardian!" Goten and Trunks acted out in unison as they, along with Gohan and Jaco did one more pose, with Piccolo standing flabbergasted in the background.

"Fantastic! Great Saiyaman! Great Saiyakid! Crimson Custodian! Green Guardian! Let's head off, to find the sinister Gami and bring him to justice!" Jaco rallied as he along with Goten, Trunks, and Gohan marched off with him to his ship.

"Green Guardian! Come on!" Goten called from the ship.

"This has to be the stupidest thing we have ever done." Piccolo grunted as he dragged himself onto the ship.

"More like the Grumpy Guardian…" Goten mumbled as the 5 heros shot off into space.

"Where are headed off too Super Elite Jaco!" Saiyaman called on loud speaker.

"The sneaky Gami was last seen on the Planet Danon. We should arrive there in an hours time! When we get there, Saiyaman, use the power you have to sense energy and figure out if Gami is still there. He should be the highest power on that planet by a wide mile." Jaco explained.

"Yes Super Elite Jaco!" Gohan dutifully soluted.

"Sir, it appears the most powerful on the planet have all temporarily left. It's time we begin our mission!" Tagoma reported as he entered the chambers of Sorbet.

"Excellent. Very good." A wicked smile cracked on the alien's face.

"Can you read the external pressure gauge to me Green Guardian?" Jaco asked as he looked at his gps (galactic positioning system).

Piccolo didn't move a muscle, his eyes shut and his expression tense.

"Hey! Green Guardian! Super Elite Jaco asked a question!" Trunks screamed in Piccolo's ear, knowing his sensitive namekian hearing would cause great pain.

"Damn… you." Piccolo grimaced as he opened one eye to look at the pressure gauge. "It's stable. And my name is Piccolo… Just so we get that straight."

"No Green Guardian!" Goten facepalmed, shaking his head in disbelief. "You're not supposed to give away your secret identity!"

"We literally just-Gohan!" Piccolo turned to his friend, hoping to get some backup.

"I don't know who this Gohan is Green Giant, but Saiyakid is right, we shouldn't be revealing our secret identities!" Saiyaman lectured.

"Gohan, it's Green Guardian." Goten whispered to his brother.

"What did I say?"

"We're here guys!" Jaco interrupted as they began to descend to the planet Danon.

'Thank god.' Piccolo heaved a heavy sigh as he was eager to get out of the cramped spaceship and stretch out.

"This place is super weird!" Goten remarked, his face pressed against the window. The planet's ground was an odd dark pink, and the sky was a reddish-brown.

"It's butt ugly." Trunks chimed in, happy he could use potty language without his mother snapping at him.

"So? Do you sense any significant powers Saiyaman?" Jaco asked as the five exited the ship.

"Give me a minute.. Yes! I sense two big powers! One is much larger than the other. And they're fighting! Come on! Let's hurry, follow me!" Saiyaman bleated as he blasted off. Jaco, Saiyakid, and the Crimson Custodian flew closely behind, followed slowly by Piccolo, making sure to keep his distance. He didn't want people to think he was actually with those idiots.

"Super Elite Jaco! Do you think the higher power is Gami?" The Crimson Custodian asked.

"Yes. I believe it is." Jaco gulped, beginning to shake in fear. 'We actually found Gami!? Oh no this isn't gonna be good…'

"Look! Down there, there's two of them!" Saiyakid pointed down to see two aliens clashing. The more powerful being, a blue skinned shrimpy elf, was absolutely tearing into the weaker being, a pink haired bipedal frog-like creature.

"Is either of them Gami, Jaco?" Saiyaman asked, turning to his comrade, who had now grown quite pale as he began to violently shake.

"That's… That's him… The blue one…" Jaco quaked, now beginning to regret his life choices.

"Alright! Team, let's go!" Saiyaman rallied as he, Saiyakid, the Crimson Custodian, and the Green Guardian flew down to stop the fight. Saiyaman turned around though as he noticed Jaco was not following them. "Come on Jaco! What are you waiting for?"

"I-I… I can't do this!" Jaco began to hyperventilate uncontrollably. "Gami is too powerful! I'm scared Saiyaman!"

"Hmmph." Saiyaman shook his head disapprovingly. "And you call yourself a Super Elite. Fine then, men! We'll deal with Gami without Jaco."

"Oh my my, it looks like the Galactic Patrol has finally caught up to me." Gami greeted as the four landed around him. Piccolo went in to save the frog alien.

"Good work Green Giant!" Gohan praised.

"Green Guardian Gohan, Guardian!" Goten pressed, getting irritated.

"Shoot, you're right, sorry Saiyakid." Saiyaman apologized before turning to Gami. "It's the end of the line Gami! We are here to put an end to your reign of villainy!"

"Is that right?" Gami laughed getting a good look at the heros. "You lot look like you couldn't even butter toast, let alone deal with me!"

"Is that so? Saiyakid! Crimson Custodian! Flank Gami from either side! I'll take him from the front!" Saiyaman planned.

"That's not going to work out in your favour you galactic scum." Gami jested as he quickly began materializing paper, promptly using it to make dozens of origami warriors!

"He's created warriors out of the paper!" Piccolo sputtered.

"Don't worry Green Guardian, the Crimson Custodian and I can handle them!" Saiyakid winked, he and the Custodian lunging towards the paper fighters.

"Hey… Look." Piccolo nudged Saiyaman chuckling and pointed over to Trunks, fighting the enemies with the mop.

"Oh yeah!" Saiyaman laughed as he had a flash of Future Trunks wielding his sword. "Well I'll be damned…"

"Right then. Let's get him." Piccolo motioned to Gami as he and Saiyaman attacked in unison.

"Masenko!" Piccolo and Saiyaman blasted together, sending the off guard Gami flying into the air.

"Hmmm… Perhaps you two are stronger than you appear." Gami mused, whipping out another sheet of paper to make an origami clone of Piccolo. "So I'll need to take you on one at a time!"

Origami Piccolo made the first attack, striking Real Piccolo in the chest. "Hmph. If you think I'll be beaten by a piece of paper Gami, your even more foolish than my allies and their ridiculous costumes." Piccolo crowed as he began going on the offensive, only to have all of his punches and kicks be blocked.

"While he's preoccupied…" Gami spun back to Saiyaman, catching him by surprise and getting a few solid jabs in.

"Is that the best you have fiend!" Saiyaman laughed as he countered the attacks with a ki blast to Gami's face. "That's gonna leave a mark, you reprobate!"

"There's too many of them Crimson! What should we do!?" Saiyakid shouted as he was getting overwhelmed.

"Time to clean up the trash!" The Crimson Custodian grinned as he got himself into stance. "Multi form technique!" All of a sudden 8 Crimson Custodians appeared, making the playing field a little more even.

"Nice thinking!" Saiyakid followed suit.

"Looks like those two finally got the hang of that technique." Piccolo smiled as he continued to try and get a hit on his paper counterpart. "Perhaps that's not such a bad idea." Piccolo flew away from his enemy briefly. "Multiform technique!" Four Piccolo's emerged, however the Origami Piccolo couldn't do this move. "Perfect. Now try dodging four of us, you arts and crafts disgrace!"

"Justice Kick!" Saiyaman cried as he sent Gami backflipping like a ragdoll. "You are no match for me you fool!"

"I'm not the fool, you've fallen right into my trap!" Gami cackled as all of a sudden paper sprang up around Gohan, making him completely immobile.

"Curses! Giant Green! I need your assistance!" Saiyaman called out.

"It's Green Guardian!" Piccolo snapped, before quickly shaking his head in disgust. 'Did I just say that!?' However, before Piccolo could fully come to grips with this, his paper counterpart turned itself back into a sheet of paper, quickly wrapping itself around the four Piccolo's, making them immobile as well.

"They need our help Saiyakid!" Crimson beckoned as he and his partner had finished off the last of their foes, reversing the multi form technique.

"Oh no you don't!" Gami howled as he used the paper of his fallen warriors to trap Saiyakid and Crimson as well.

"Now, to make my cunning escape!" Gami snickered as he began to fly off. However a forceful boot sent him crashing back down into the ground. "What!?"

They all looked up to see it was Jaco. "You aren't going anywhere Gami! Super Elite handcuffs!" Jaco posed as he shot out ki handcuffs.

"Damn you Super Elite Jaco! You won't foil my plans next time!" Gami wept softly as Jaco threw him in the Galactic Police Car that had shown up.

"Thanks Super Elite Jaco! Without your assistance, we would have all been done for!" Saiyaman praised as he was set free, patting the Galactic Patrolman.

"I wouldn't have been brave enough had it not been for your guys' example." Jaco sheepishly admitted.

"All in a day's work for the Saiya Force!" The Great Saiyaman proclaimed, getting into his signature pose.

"Saiya force? Why not the Custodian Force?" Crimson interjected, not happy with this decision.

"Or the Super Elite Force!?" Jaco added, doing another pose, however losing his balance and falling on his butt.

The rest of the Saiya Force laughed as they went to head back home. However, while they were gone, a sinister plan was brewing on Earth.

Who are these aliens, and what do they want on Earth!? Will Gohan get back in time to stop them? Find out in the next Chapter!
