Meh, I should apologize too…I already knew there were anti Trunks x Pan Fan's and maybe I should have given warnings or have the listed pairings I'm set on for this story.
Well to be honest I didn't even think about them being a pairing until a year ago when I actually read a fic with them as a couple. At first I liked the idea of them being a couple so the saiyan race doesn't die out, but after being reacquainted with the anime…let's just say that's where I started being a supporter.
I wasn't even aware there were any Pan/Bra fics; the closest I ever read is "Let's get lost in each other" but the storyline is a little confusing.
Guest 1:
You know I actually don't remember why they are even called the Z fighters but Zenkai actually does sound like an excellent idea; now that you've cleared it up more.
Guest 2:
I will be adding Hercule to the story…later on. I actually have plans for him, Videl, and his "wife".
Okay I'm going to be honest and say that I had no idea his real name was even Mark, that's much different than his big shot name Mr. Hercule Satan XD

Gee thanks, but not everything Gine influences will be a good thing—you'll learn more as you read.

Thanks!

Hmm…okay I'll think about it, but I'm not giving any major fluff or any lemons in the flashback(s) until we get to the Piccolo Jr. Saga. Sorry, I know how it feels when you really want someone to come to the story—been there many times before…
Guest 3:
I am making them closer of age…
Can't really answer that one without giving something away, but still I'm set on Trunks x Pan.
~Read the end for more information on the DBZ movies~
Guest 4:
Definitely going to change GT, although replacing or modifying is what has me stuck. I know it's still a long way until we even come close, but it helps to have your ideas before.
I'm only going to half agree for Pan, and fully agree for Bra, GT did fail on showing Bra as a character, I'm pretty sure I can count only a handful of times I actually saw Bra. Don't worry though Pan and Bra are both going to show up and be more involved when we get there.
Gohan is not going to slack off, he is going to keep training and live his life. He's not his father who loves to battle but he is one of Earth's protectors.
We're going to see if Goku remains alive or stays dead for those seven years aren't we? It does sound interesting if Old Kai...
I'll think about having Ultimate/ Mystic forms, other than Gohan, but I'm not replacing super saiyan 3—even if they do have that extremely long hair.
Keep the ideas coming! They're really helpful and I've had reviews give me ideas that have helped me fill gaps and to make the story better=)
I really like the personality differences, but the amount of rage should show in the beginning and when they can't control it. The female super saiyan will be some sight…angry, quiet—like a silent killer (Makes me shudder just thinking about it).
Queen-Of-The-SuperNatural:
I really want Bardock back too! BUT it's still too early = (
Anxious to know about Raditz and Vegeta? You're not the only one and no spoiler alert…but how about a hint?
Vegeta—pretty much the same.
Raditz—what's the fun of revealing anything about this character?
Guest 5:
Future Trunks and someone else (It may or may not be Bardock) will show up to kill Frieza and King Cold…
Sure, but you should still know Mirai Trunks and *character* are still more powerful than those two.
Guest 6:
Okay Videl isn't getting pregnant at fourteen, but she will get pregnant earlier with Pan. I'll make her closer to Trunks age—already got it figured out.
Finally! You've figured out that Videl will be one of the teens to get pregnant. I was waiting for someone to place the pieces together=)
I'm not sure yet if I'll give Pan siblings yet…
Lol, I always saw it the other way around XD
JMPthewriter:
Yup, the women will be super saiyans—but their appearance won't exactly be the same as the men's.
QWERTYblues:
Thanks and for many more reviews=)
I don't know why, but Gine loving sweets is something I expected of her X)
Right?! Even I have been wondering how Gine's fighting skill's have come from knowing…nothing :)
You're the one who's going to read the chapter before anyone else XD
*Hint, Hint* If it wasn't for Launch then Bulma's guess would've been right for Gine's GI!

Visitor:
I actually have thought of Gine and Bardock having another baby, but I'm kind of in a conflict with this one.
On one hand they're both in their forties when they finally reunite and be pushing fifty by the time Cell arrives.
On the other hand saiyans aren't like humans and keep their youthfulness, are still able to maintain their strength, and are still sexually active.
This is a tough one…

No can do!
Guest 7:
She's still early into her actual training, so you've got to give it time before actually seeing her fighting improve. I'll see what kind of fighter does inspire me, to base her style on.
PokemonXYFan104:
No, I plan on Gohan and Videl being a pairing and I'm still figuring out Erasa.

Gine: 150

Chapter 10: Elimination Time!
"Hello! Hello! Testing one, two, okay!"
Everyone inside the stadium turned to see a short rounded man with bushy white eyebrows and a long mustache to match. He stood on top of one of the blocks speaking in front of a microphone.
"Well uh," he cleared his throat as he gathered everyone's attention. "First I'd like to thank each one of you fighters for coming all this way to the tournament because of course if you didn't come, there wouldn't be much of a show to watch," The man chuckled to himself. "If anyone is of the counting nature, you may have noticed that there are one hundred and thirty-seven fighters packed into this hall, each fighter representing countries and species from all over the world!"
Gine stared around at the giants around the inside arena, feeling a bit nervous at the amount of experienced fighters surrounding her. They've must have trained far longer than she had and some might have even entered previous tournaments before. "Hyaaa, one hundred and thirty seven people…!" her eyes moved down to her young friend. "And half of them have kneecaps taller than I am!"
He's right. Krillin barely reached her hips and Goku only won him by a couple of inches, reminding her of how short she truly was. It's not that bad, she reminded herself. It really wasn't, the human women are around her height…at least some of them.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Krillin, trembling beside her. "Huh? What's the matter Krillin?"
He shook his head, "N-nothing."
"Unfortunately," They focused their attention back to the stage "Out of all you guys here, only eight will get a chance to fight for the crowds in the actual tournament, so fight hard in the elimination round and let's try not to have any whining."
"Now then, allow me to explain the rules." Gine patted her son's head motioning for him to pay attention. "You will be divided into four tournament blocks and the top two from each block will advance to the finals. The battles will be one-on-one. If a fighter falls out of the ring, faints, says "I give," cries, or otherwise they lose." He emphasized the next part, "But you must not kill your opponent. The use of weapons is also forbidden! Preliminary battles will also last only one minute, so in the case that a winner is not selected, a judge will have to decide."
"Kill?" Gine blinked. That didn't set well in her stomach but since it was against the rules, it was okay…right?
"Now please move to the boxes and take a number. You can look on the boards to find your place," He pointed to a box, which had a hole, on top of a table "And please no trading." Every competitor lined up waiting for their turn to reach in and pick out a number for their spot on one of the four blocks.
Unraveling her number, Gine murmurs, "One hundred and ten."
Krillin, hearing her number, sighs at not having to fight her in the preliminary rounds. "Ninety-three for me! What did you get?" They shifted their eyes on Goku.
"Uh…seven and a zero," He says unsure.
"That's seventy dear." Gine said with a smile.
"Looks like Goku and Krillin will be in block three." Yamcha came up next to them, looking at the board.
"Huh?" The turtle hermit students turned their head to the board, finding their numbers. "Oh no that's bad! I don't want to go up against Goku!" Krillin shouted. It was one thing not wanting to battle the mother and another to battle the son.
Goku stared at the numbers, "But your number is far away from mine Krillin, so maybe we won't have to!"
"Oh…too bad!" He said in relief.
"What's your number Yamcha?"
"I'm thirty-five, that's block two." Yamcha tells them, "You're on block four Gine."
Gine nodded, "At least we're not all fighting in this round."
"That's a relief, I didn't want to be placed in the same block as either of you."
Krillin gave a grin, "Ah so you were scared, just like me!"
"That's not it," The teen gave a grin of his own. "I just wanted to wait for the real tournament." He saw the confused stares he was receiving from the three and elaborated. "That's where the ring is bigger and there is no time limit to stop us! I've been waiting for this Goku so you better make it through!" Since the start, he had been waiting for a rematch against Goku the most. He's never battled Gine but he has seen her strength and does want to test her in combat.
"Oh I'll make it!" Goku said determinedly.
"Well then I'll see you in the ring!" Yamcha said, before leaving for his block.
Gine, Goku, and Krillin spoke amongst themselves as they walked through the crowd to get between block three and four where the three friends will be fighting for the preliminary round.
"I don't see how either of you or that Yamcha guy can be so confident," Krillin told them as he stared at the grown monster men around them, "When we're surrounded by twenty thousand pounds of pure muscle!"
Goku smiled at the shorter boy, "'Cause none of these guys were trained by Master Roshi like we were."
"But the old man never taught us how to fight," Krillin pointed out. "He just gave us dirt to move around!"
"Don't worry Krillin. I bet if we tried hard enough, we'll be okay."
"That's right!" Gine rubbed both of their heads.
Krillin flinched, "Right dandy."
They reached block three just as one of the striped dressed men started announcing for block three. "Okay! We will now begin the preliminary matches for the third block! Number sixty-nine and number seventy step onto the stage!"
"I'm up already!" Goku said in surprise.
"Go get'em son!" Gine and Krillin started cheering for him, "Fight hard Goku and good luck!"
Goku climbed up the stage ready for his first fight of the tournament. He could hear his mother and friend cheering for him along with laughter from the crowd but he paid no mind to them. He was too busy controlling his excitement!
Number sixty-nine got onto the stage looking around for his opponent, "Eh, where is my fighter?!" The man is one of the giants. He was bald, tan, had a brown mustache, and wore a blue one sided one piece, revealing part of his chest, and wore matching boots.
"Right here!" Goku said as he got into his regular fighting position, ready for the referee to give them the signal.
The giant glared at the tiny boy, "What the hell is this?! There is no satisfaction in beating up a tiny ant like this!"
"What'd you say?!" The little saiyan gritted his teeth at the giant.
The ref held his clipboard to his chest, with a pen ready to mark number sixty-nine as the winner. "You have one minute!"
"Pugh, I just need one second to crush this pest between my thumb and forefinger!"
Goku growled at the man waiting for the signal.
"Begin!"
Without a second to waste, Goku bolted to his opponent with a fist ready to strike. At the same time, the other started to make a grab for him.
"HA—huh?" Stopping his run, Goku hopped on one leg to steady himself before planting himself back on with his two feet. It seems the giant was too big for Goku to make a direct hit and too slow to make a grab for him. The saiyan just ran right through the giant's legs as if it was a tunnel.
"Eh?" The giant fighter stared at the spot Goku was in confusion before glancing to his left and right in disbelief. "Oh I really crushed him!"
The little boy walked behind him poking his back, "Over here, over here!" He wanted him to turn around before the minute was up. But without meaning to, his challenger started to wobble, having trouble balancing himself, and fell of the stage with a groan.
Everyone by the block stared in silence and disbelief at a child shorter than just about everyone in the room, being able to knock out an experienced fighter with just one poke.
It seemed like the silence dragged on before Goku's mother finally broke it, "YEAH! GO GOKU!" She cheered happily having the referee snap out it, "Number seventy advances!"
"Hey, that's great! He fell off by himself!" Krillin told his buddy when he hopped onto the stage.
Since poking the guy, Goku stared at his hand, mainly his finger. He muttered, "…No, that's not what happened…" He gazed up at his mother, who gave him a bright grin knowing exactly what happened up on stage.
"Eh? Then what?!" Krillin asks.
"Krillin! Don't go all out unless you're up against a serious opponent!" Goku told him as he found out exactly what was happening or did happen.
"What are you talking about…?"
"Krillin, listen to Goku on this one." Gine told the boy who turned his confused gaze from Goku to her. Goku nodded alongside his mother hoping his friend listened.
"It could be bad."
"What do we have here?"
The three orange dressed fighters turned around to see two men dressed in an outfit similar to the one Krillin wore before. One man is short, overweight, and bald.
"It's our old punching bag!" The other guy said.
Gine instantly decided she did not like this man. The other is taller, gangly, had six spots on his forehead like Krillin and had a grin planted on his face. The way Krillin nervously shuffled beside her, made the mother not like either of these men.
"Hello." Krillin said quietly to the two.
The thin man came closer to the trio, mainly Krillin. "Long time, no see…last time was when you ran out of Oorin temple crying, wasn't it?"
The small boy chuckled nervously, hoping they'd leave him alone.
"What are you doing in a place like this, anyway?" The shorter asked with a wicked grin.
"Could it be you're actually fighting at the World Martial Arts tournament?" The other started to pat, almost like a slap, on Krillin's head.
"Y…yes…I thought I'd at least try and participate…"
"C'mon that's not even funny! Didn't we already tell you that you have absolutely no potential?" Gine crossed her arms, tapping her feet with her eyes narrowed at the teenagers in front of them. Goku stared back and forth from his mother, Krillin, and to the two bullies.
"Since you're here it means you were assigned to the third block right? What's your number?" The big oaf asked.
"N…ninety-three…"
"Ha-hah!" The other idiot laughs, "This is great! You're up against me! Uwaaahhh, how exciting!"
"EHH!"
Still laughing the idiot said, "Just don't try to go too hard on me." He went to smack the little boy's head again, "Krill…in." Gine snatched the teen's wrist before it could connect to its target.
With her eyes closed she mutters, "I wouldn't do that."
"Wha…Who are you?" The gangly teen asked, surprised by the pretty face.
Gine always felt protective of her son Goku, she's never really met anyone who could harm her son and also never met a person with such a disgusting personality—at least not on Earth. Sure, she's met new people and all of them have different traits from each other, but none of them had a behavior with such…she couldn't even find a word to describe the teen boys in front of her. They've behaved with such an arrogant, cruel, and conceited nature towards Krillin; now she saw why he flinches whenever she touched his head and why he became determined to train under Master Roshi, no matter what the task was or how he did it.
When the teen didn't hear her respond or open her eyes he snickered, "What did you do Krillin? Go running to your mommy? Oh right you don't have one!"
"Alright buster," Gine hissed "I've had enough of you!" she stood on her toes ready to give him a piece of her mind. Though before she could, Goku grabbed his mother's free hand "Mom let Krillin handle it." Reluctantly, she released the other boy with a glare shown on her face.
The two Oorin temple students wanted to have the last words, but nothing could be said. Not with an angry sneer directed to them, that glare made their blood run cold, face turn pale, and tremble in fright. However somehow they were able to turn around and walk away from the angry woman.
"Those guys were really mean!" Goku said as they finally disappeared from their sights.
Krillin still trembling from the revelation of fighting one of his bullies said, "They always bullied me at Oorin Temple…I…I can't do this anymore…he's super strong…maybe I'll just forfeit."
Gine hearing his surrender turned her body around to face the child. "No way Krillin!" She gave him a large toothy smile, "You're going to fight that guy and show him what you're made of!"
Goku copying his mother nodded, "Just go all-out against him!"
"Didn't you guys just say—,"
"Forget what we said!" Gine told him standing straight with her hands on her hips.
"Yeah just ignore what we said…at least for your fight against that guy!" Goku followed, determined that his friend gives the bully a taste of his own medicine.
"One hundred and ten and one hundred and eleven come on up!" The referee from block four called out.
Gine perked up from her number being called up, "I'm next!" She walked over to her block with the boys trailing behind her.
Goku and Krillin stood next to the stage with their arms on the platform. "Go mom!" Goku called out. "You can do it!" Krillin cheered.
She hopped on the stage—without flying—and went to the center where her opponent stood. Number one hundred and eleven was an olive toned man, built like an average fighter, aged around his mid twenties, blonde hair, brown eyes, and stood at five foot eight. He had white pants on and stood shirtless with a confident smirk and said, "Looks like an easy win."
"Too bad," Gine said with a bright smile. "I really was looking forward to a real fight!" She got into her stance.
Her challenger didn't lose his smirk instead he got into his fighting stance. "Feisty." He let his eyes roam her body freely.
"Begin!"
Gine stayed put as her challenger ran towards her intending to knock her off the arena with one of his haymaker punches. He expected his fist to land on her shoulder, knocking her off the stage or to start crying out, but what he didn't expect was for her to block his punch.
She gripped his fist, gently, and pushed him away from her a few inches. When he staggered back in surprise, she angled her body towards him, twirls—raising her left knee, then twisted her left hip to raise her leg and gave her competitor a tornado kick.
Her opponent let out a screech in surprise as she landed a kick to his side. The kick alone was enough to send him flying off the stage and land on his face next to the referee of block four. "Eh…uh number one hundred and ten advances!"
"Great job!" Krillin told her as she got off the stage.
Goku nodded with a proud grin, "This is going to be easy!" At least until they make it to the finals where all the real fighters are going to be.
"Next up we have ninety-three and ninety-four!" The judge from block three calls out.
Krillin started trembling, "Oh gosh that's me!"
"You can do it Krillin!" Goku told him trying to cheer him up.
"Just remember we're rooting for you!" Gine told him, knowing he'll come out as the winner.
Still he trembles as he climbs the stage.
"That guy's nothing! All you need is one punch!" Goku told him.
"I think my body went numb."
Goku watches with a smile as his friend stiffly walked towards his old bully, "I can't wait until he realizes how strong he's gotten!"
"Yeah," She agreed. "Krillin calm down and show him what you can do!" Gine cheered him on like she cheered Goku on his match.
"Begin!"
They watched the fight as the fighter dressed in yellow got into a fighting position neither of them had seen before. He let his legs spread out, his left arm made a fist, and his right positioned at a ninety degree angle.
Krillin still trembled even as his bully made the first move with his left hand swinging it, planning to give the younger boy a hammer fist but Krillin's fast enough to avoid the punch by jumping above the other.
"Go Krillin!" Gine and Goku called out.
The little boy came back down, doing a back flip, landed on the ground and quickly delivered a side kick to his old foe with all the strength he could master. That kick alone had the Oorin student to fly out the arena, through the wall, and out of the tournament.
The only sounds heard in the room were Goku and Gine's giggling and the referee saying, "…N…number ninety-three is…the winner…"
The duo gave happy smiles to Krillin as he jumps off the stage.
"You see! Delivering milk and moving dirt must be good training after all and I bet those guys won't call you runt from now on!" Goku told him.
"Guess not." Krillin stared at his hands wondering when this all happened.
Gine grabbed Krillin's small body and hugged him close to her, "I'm so proud of you Krillin!" She rubbed her cheek to his, much like she does to Goku. Krillin blushes but doesn't make a move to remove himself from her arms.
_ (-V-) _
"Number seventy is the winner!" Goku yet again won his next match.
So far as each fight commences, they've had all wins. Master Roshi's strange training had actually done wonders to them! They barely had to make more than three moves to advance to the next challenger.
"I'm a zombie," Krillin jokes standing up from his competitor catching him off guard, "Just kidding!"
Gine and Goku laughs at the boy's prank watching as he decides his counter move. "How did you…? That was my famous dragon stop!" His competitor said weakly.
"Right then, here I come!"
"HIIH!" His challenger ran to the referee hiding behind his form in fear "I-I give! I've lost!"
With each fight, they gained more confidence in having a place to fight for the final tournament. The boys and Gine breezed through the next rounds easily. Knocking out each competitor they faced, surprising the crowed by how easily a few newbie's could take down the biggest and strongest fighters around.
"Number thirty-five earned his spot on the big show!" Yamcha had finally secured his spot in the quarter finals.
Goku went over to Yamcha congratulating his friend and commending on how much stronger he's gotten. "Where's your mom and Krillin?" Yamcha asked the boy.
"She got called up and Krillin followed her," He told him. "Come on!"
They jogged over to where Goku's mother faced her last opponent, number one hundred and thirty four. He was a medium sized blue dragon with a green belly; he had wings on his back, a horn on his nose and appeared very muscular or chubby.
They were in the middle of their match, the dragon throwing punches and Gine catching them with an incredible speed. She watched for his clawed hands and even had to keep her eyes on his tail incase he tried to swing it over.
She knew that time was running out and had to do something quick, but before she could make her move, the reptile opened his mouth revealing something blue and snake like coming out and wrapping itself around her form. "Gah!" she felt the stickiness from the now violet constrictor.
"How do you like Giran's Merry-Go-Round Gum?!"
Gine giving a grin said, "Well while it's a nice technique," she let herself focus on her energy, letting her strength around her arms break free from the gum, "It still needs a little work."
"HUH?" The dragon gulped.
"I'm coming for you." She taunted.
"WAIT!" He shouted showing a white flag "I give up."
Gine blinked at him with a bit of disappointment.
"Number one hundred and ten goes to the finals!"
She jumps off the stage towards the three boys. "Well I did it. What about you?" She asks Yamcha.
He gave her thumbs up. "Piece of cake."
"Fighters number seventy and eighty-three to the ring please!" The judge from block three, calls out. "Winner of this match will go on to the tournament, how exciting!"
"That's my number!" Goku said.
"Go win!" His mother and friends cheered.
"You know it!"
Goku jogs his way over to the stage, jumping up ready to face his opponent. The man across from him appears to be middle aged, average height, and ready to fight.
"Go Goku! Knock him out of the ring!" Krillin shouts.
"That sounds like fun!" Goku told them getting to his fighting posture the same time as the man did.
"Begin!"
Goku noticed the man staring instead of coming over and calls out "Just come and hit me if you want to Mister!" The response he wanted was immediate and he came over with a battle cry preparing to use his lion's fang strike on the boy.
However, Goku dodges the attack by jumping to the sky "Heads up!" he went down preparing to land on the man.
"Huh?" The man though was able to dodge Goku's move at the last second and moved in for a round kick, the same time Goku aimed for him. The boy though saw this and landed on the ground behind the man and launched a back kick, this time knocking him off his feet.
"Give up yet?" Goku asks grabbing the man's feet.
"Wha?! Where's your technique?!" He asks before he was swung off the stage to the opposite side of the arena.
"Ring out! Number seventy is the winner!" The ref calls, "He will advance to the martial arts tournament!"
Goku hops in glee rushing off the stage to the awaiting arms of his mother. "Yay, I did it! Hooray!"
Gine squeezed him tight, "You sure did!" She gave him a kiss on the cheek before setting him on the ground where Krillin hugged his friend too. She ruffled Goku's hair in excitement "Okay Krillin it looks like your next!"
He nodded at her, excited that he only had to fight one more to move on to the bigger arena with them. He went over to the stage as his number and his competitor were called up.
It was no surprise to the others when he knocked out the bear in one shot. "Make the pain go away." He much like Gine's last challenger had a white flag of surrender.
Goku went up stage to Krillin, "We did it!" they skipped around in happiness and excitement. Gine went over to the boys scooping them up as they repeated,
"We're going to the tournament!"
"Wow this is going to be a long day." Yamcha said leaning on the stage.
Goku's mother walked back over to their friend, with the boys still in her arms "The best has yet to come Yamcha!" She giggles along with the boys.
We've finally made it, the gang had made it through the preliminary round! I had a hard time deciding which fighter I should replace knowing only eight would advance, but I chose Giran in the end.
In this chapter you saw the easy short wins, but let's remember that the greatest battles didn't come until much, much later. I also made Gine show her protective and, some of, her saiyan side coming out. Her motherly instinct kicked in with the bullies and the fighting brought out a side Gine was barely ever acquainted with.
Now about the movies, everyone has different thoughts on this and since I'm not the best at keeping count I'll have a poll up. The movie I'm 100% sure of putting up is Dead Zone—so don't worry if you don't see it in the poll.
Also, the topic of pairings is starting to be brought up—even if we're still a long way before romance starts playing a part. In the next chapter I'll reveal the pairings I'm positive of using along with the "not-sure yet" list and the "I have no clue."
One more thing I'd like to give a huge thanks to my new beta writer QWERTYblues and hopefully with the help of him/her—sorry I never asked—the chapters will have little to no mistakes! Makes it so much better to read doesn't it?
