A/N: Back with another installment. Hopefully more come more frequently. Also, introducing a somewhat familiar Mass Effect name into the mix.
One year had passed since Dr Ona Gero used the Dragonballs for her nefarious plans. She was still in space with the Cold family, awaiting the day to return to Earth, and to take their respective revenge.
Now while the Z fighters had no idea about what had happened, they still took to training alot. Goku and Vegeta were training with Beerus and Whis. Jayden was seldomly seen, and Pan had sometimes vanished. All the while, Vega wasn't even there once.
At the current moment, Pan was currently sparring with Gohan, with Piccolo and Videl watching. Pan had just turned twelve, and was already starting to get a body that would get older girls somewhat jealous. She was in her spirit goddess form (as she called it), yet was tiring out against a super sayian 3 Gohan.
With a groan of frustration, she jumped toward her father, only for Gohan to sidestep her, and kick her hard. It was so hard, it knocked her out of her goddess form, and into base form.
Pan:...Damn.
Gohan: You've done very well Pan.
Pan: I don't get it. I have been getting better at controlling spirit energy, yet I can't even get a good hit on you.
Gohan: Calling me useless now?
Pan: No chance dad. Just...I thought this form was supposed to be more powerful then what you have.
Piccolo: That attitude can be a fatal flaw. You have to remember Pan, that Your father is naturally powerful, and has alot more experience than you.
Videl: I wouldn't be upset honey. We're all proud of the progress you've made in the last couple years.
Pan sighed, and sat down, looking up at the sky. Gohan powered down, and sat beside her.
Pan: You're lucky dad. You were born powerful.
Gohan: Yeah, but I still had to work for it. All worth it for what I use this strength for.
Pan: True. By the way dad, just out of curiosity, did you have a rival growing up?
Gohan: No. You also have to remember that I was one of a kind when I was a kid.
Piccolo: He did have some good teachers, if I do say so myself.
Gohan: You would Piccolo.
They all shared a laugh at that. Pan then sighed again.
Videl: But why ask about that?
Pan: Well...from what I heard, Grampa's rivalry with Vegeta pushed his limits, and still do, and the same goes with Vegeta. I was wondering if I had such a rival, would I get as strong as them?
Gohan: I thought you already did with Vega.
Pan: I thought so to, but...He's always evolved much more quickly than me. I'd say if anything, Jayden's his rival, whether they know it or not.
Videl: Perhaps, but that doesn't mean you can't catch up and blow pas them both.
Pan: Thanks mom.
Piccolo then grunted, getting the Son family's attention.
Piccolo: I think I know what the biggest flaw about that form is. You haven't pushed yourself quite to the limits needed. For example you only have Super Sayian. Imagine how much more powerful, if let's say...you had the powers your dad has. The training on the body will make is very powerful, and thus, when you augment your goddess form, you'll have an amazing amount of power.
Pan: Makes sense. But what about Vega though. He defeated Assmodeus with his Chaos god form, yet only had the power of a super sayian two at maximum without it.
Gohan: True, but you must remember, he was more used to the chaos power he had, plus it doesn't hurt that he's half devil himself. Either way, don't let it get you down. Clearly you're meant for something grand, and I can't be more proud of you.
Pan: Thanks dad. Thing is...will we be ready in time for what's coming?
Piccolo: Oh about Jayden's warning? We won't know until that day.
Pan: Yeah. But...I think that day is going to be soon. I'm sensing...something off. Or at least did when transformed.
Gohan: We'll be ready.
Meanwhile...On the Lookout...
Dende stood in the center of the lookout. He looked up, and had a big look of concern. He seemed to be in such a deep trance, that when Mr Popo approached him, he was startled.
Dende: Oh...Mr Popo.
Mr Popo: Sorry to have startled you Dende, but Jayden just stepped out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
Dende turned around, to see that Jayden, in his transformed state, had indeed left the time chamber. As the warrior stepped forward, he slowly began to transform back into his human form.
Jayden: Are we to late?
Dende: No. You're just in time. It's getting closer and closer. No mistaking it. That foul KI is definitely Frieza. But he's also not alone.
Mr Popo:You sure it's him?
Dende: Yes. I know the dragon was used to revive him and his family.
Jayden: I'm not concerned about them. It's who made the wishes that concerned me.
Dende sighed, and nodded. He knew exactly what Jayden was talking about. He balled his fist up in anger for just one second.
Dende: It's...still hard for me to believe, that there are some outright twisted people here on Earth that would do such stuff. To you...to anyone, and...there's nothing that can be done about it.
Jayden: Wow. Didn't know you felt that way.
Dende: But...for every bad person, there is a good one. In fact, I've been watching closely over a few humans. On in particular has stood out. I sense in a few years time, she'll begin to make a name for herself. One that can help against the Reapers.
Jayden: Yeah. But for now, we have to focus on what's coming in a few days. Either way, I will get this job done.
Dende: Good. By the way, how was your time in there?
Jayden smiled, and sat down. He was clearly exhausted from all the training he did, but satisfied with the results.
Jayden: Well spent. The Cold family will not be an issue.
Dende: Glad to hear the confidence, but don't get overconfident.
Jayden: Trust me, I'm not. What I did in there, was making sure all the work I did during this last year, was to be used correctly. The only other power that I can say was on equal level, or at least close, was when Vega was a Super Sayian God. Before the chaos energy he absorbed boosted him.
Dende: I see.
Jayden then stood up, and stretched his arms out, before stretching his neck. He looked up, as if looking directly at the impending darkness.
Jayden: Still, it would be foolish to not go in with everyone.
Dende: Yeah. I'll make sure Vega knows.
Suddenly, all three looked up at the same direction. Jayden growled a bit.
Jayden: I sense something coming. Doesn't feel...evil though.
Dende: I know. And since when do you know that ability?
Jayden: Hell if I know.
Jayden began to fly off. A small spaceship appeared from the clouds, and descended to the earth, quite fast. Jayden flew to it, got infront, and slowed it down, preventing a crash. Such action caused him to transform into Ravager. He put the spaceship down, and looked around.
Ravager: Capsule corp. Good thing I was here or there would have been a big lineup for King Yemma.
The commotion caused some curious glances, but only four people came out. Goten, Trunks, Bulla, and Bulma.
Bulma: Jayden?
Ravager: Yeah I'm here. Good thing to.
The spaceship opened up. Out from there, was a scaley almost bird like man, and a lizard like man. A Turian and a Salarian. Both looked like they had better days.
Salarian: You should have been more careful.
Turian: Bite me Jaco. You know why we had to rush here.
Bulma: Can I...help you guys?
The Salarian, now identified as Jaco took a deep breath, and collected his thoughts.
Jaco: My partner, Nihlus and I were recently on an investigation for the galactic council. It's our job as SPECTRES. However, we came across something drastic. We came across some information that a threat from beyond our galaxy is making his way to Earth as we speak.
Bulma: Frieza?
Jaco: And his name is-WAIT...how did you know?
Bulma: We already knew he was coming. Thing is, all of our fighters that could take him on aren't here. How much time we got?
Nihlus: About...Momentarily.
Bumla: Dammit! Not enough time.
Jaco: Well, now that you know, we'll be on our way.
Jaco began to walk away, when Bulma lunged out and tackled him down. Nihlus chuckled at the display.
Bulma: Abandoning us when you are supposedly able to do something about it? I don't think so.
Nihlus: We don't HAVE to stay woman, but we will.
Jaco: ARE YOU CRAZY? THAT'LL GET US BOTH KILLED!
Nihlus: Maybe, but at least the threat will be analyzed properly for the council to take note ad actually do something.
Jaco: Tch. Fine.
Bulma: I'll need to get my husband here. Hold on a few.
Trunks: We're going to join them mom. Bulla...You stay here and help mom.
Bulla: No fair. I want to come to.
Bulma: I have to agree. Stay with me, at least until your father gets here. We'll watch from the sidelines, but not
It was then, that 4 giant spaceships began their landing to Earth. It was far off in the distance from Capsule Corp. All Z fighters turned their attention to where they were landing, and proceeded to meet up where the Cold family had landed.
