The last time in "TLW-The Sequel":
"Shh, everything will be alright. I'll be there and when the two years are up we're going out and kick Buu's ass." Suddenly the dark haired girl got an idea. "Jenny, have you ever seen Goten and Trunks doing the Fusion Dance?"
The woman pulled apart from her. "Yes, I have, but why do you ask?"
"We could do it. I mean, we're about the same height and when I train a bit longer I'll become as strong as you and then we will be incredible strong. And who knows, maybe we reach in the Fusion form a new Super Saiyan level."
"That could work." Jenny said with new hope. "And we still have 23 months. Okay, training will start tomorrow.

Chapter 10: "Help"
After Jenny and Pan entered the ROSAT, Mr. Popo brought the others, that means the four kids, Shana, ChiChi and Muten Roshi, to a large room at the bottom of the Lookout. The room was ki-shielded, so Buu wouldn't be able to find them there. In this room was everything for an emergency. A few beds, a bit furniture and even a small kitchen with so much food to feed a Saiyajin for a month. Popo brought them a small snack and sat down with the group, asking a question he had in his head all the time. "Was she always like this?"
Shana shook her head. "No. You haven't met the real Jenny. You have met the warrior. She just acts like this since she felt Trunks', I mean our Trunks', ki vanishing. At that moment something must have happened with her. I hope that Pan will be able to bring out the old Jenny."
"Tell me about her. I want to know everything."
"Do you have time?" Popo nodded and Shana's question and she began to tell him everything from the first day they met Trunks and Goten over the fight with Mr. Fieldner to the present.

The appearance of the two Saiyajins on New Namek startled the inhabitants, at least the ones who were present at the moment they arrived on the planet, in the middle of a field, where the Nameks were working. They just sat there, staring at the two newcomers until one elder Namek recognized Vegeta. Scared, he ran up to him and threw himself to his feet. "Oh, please, Prince Vegeta. Take everything, but spare our lifes." He was one of the first Nameks who died at the hand of the Prince, before he even came to earth. He was later resurrected with the new made Dragonballs, which allowed in this timeline to resurrect people who are longer dead than one year.
Vegeta looked down at him and snorted. "Namek, get up. I won't kill you. We need your help."
As the Namek still didn't get up, of fear Vegeta would hurt him though, Goku took the initiative. "Please, we really need your help. We need your Dragonballs, it is really important."
"What do you need them for? If you wish for immortality I'd rather die than helping you," the old Namek told him.
"Tenno, let him explain. He's the one who killed Freeza. The legendary Super Saiyan," Another, younger Namek said to the old one as he helped him to his feet.
"Really?" He looked up to Goku, who simply smiled.
"Yep. But I'm not the only Super Saiyajin. Vegeta's one, too, as well as my and his children. And that's why were here…" With that Goku explained them the whole situation they're in. The Nameks listened carefully and as Goku had finished they led the two warriors to their eldest, so that he could decide what to do.

Jenny sat on the platform in the ROSAT and meditated as she suddenly felt a shiver running down her spine. She opened her eyes and noticed that everything was dark around her, like at night. Just one faint light was finding its way down to her. She looked up to the source of the light and saw the full moon right above her. She was fascinated by it and couldn't break the gaze. Plus she had a strange feeling inside her body as if some new energy was flowing through her veins. An energy she had never experienced before. It felt like the moon was hypnotizing her. Suddenly she felt her body growing but she still couldn't look away. As she stopped growing, she finally could break the gaze and could feel the animal instincts trying to take over. By this experience a loud growl escaped her throat, but it wasn't the growl of a human, it was the growl of an animal.
At the next moment Jenny sat again on that platform, just like before she saw the full moon, but this time she didn't feel the shiver, but she felt someone's presence right in front of her. She couldn't tell who it was. For a human his ki was simply too strong, but compared to her it was pathetic. Without opening her eyes she began to speak. "Who are you?"
"A friend," a male voice answered.
"What do you want?"
"I want to help you."
"How?"
"I guess you just had that vision."
"Isn't that all here a vision?"
The voice chuckled lightly. "Yes, it is. But you've seen and felt the beginning."
"Yes, I have."
"That's what I want to help you with."
"Then help me."
"Not now. First train the girl and make her stronger and then we see further." With that, the ki Jenny just felt disappeared.
"Jenny? Jenny, wake up!" a voice called out. Jenny opened her eyes and noticed that she was in her bed, with Pan standing next to her.
"Pan? What's up?" she asked still a bit sleepily.
"You've slept for 48 hours straight and I thought that it was about time to wake you up," Pan answered her shrugging.
Now Jenny was completely awake. "For 48 hours?! Wow, I really must have been worn out."
"I think you can say that." Pan told her smiling. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, I think so. Let's eat something. I'm really starving and then we can begin training," Jenny said while she climbed out of her bed and put her clothes on.
"Right. Then we can exercise the Fusion Dance," Pan said full of confident.
"Yeah…" At that moment Jenny remembered what the voice had told her. "I mean… No… I think the best thing is if we first train you to become stronger. You also have to learn how to fully control SSJ2."
"What do you think I've done in the last two days? Sunbathing?" Pan asked her grinning. "Wait a minute… Here's no real sun, that means, no sunbathing."
"Okay, okay, I understand. But I'm sure you still can't beat me, since I'm on the edge of SSJ3."
"Yeah, but I've almost two years to reach that level as well…"
"That's what I hope you'll do. Two fused Super Saiyajins at level three will be strong enough for Buu, I hope. But now, let's go before I starve!"
~*~
At the same moment, the two Bulmas, Bra, ChiChi and Videl were sitting at the coffee table in the living room.
"I hope they're alright," Videl suddenly said, breaking the silence between them.
"Don't worry," ChiChi told her, "they're alright. All of them are really strong and they will defeat Buu with ease. I'm sure of it."
"Yeah, they must be alive. Remember, when Vegeta died in the fight against our Buu, I felt it immediately, because the bond broke."
"You're right Bulma," Videl remembered. "You felt that Vegeta was dead and I felt that Gohan was still alive, even though everyone thought that he was dead."
~*~
It didn't take long before Goku and Vegeta arrived together with a few other Nameks at the eldest. Just at the moment, they wanted to tell him why they're on his planet, he stopped them, saying he knew everything about it.
"So you've overheard our conversation with your people," Vegeta stated.
"That's right. I know what your problem is, but I'm sorry to tell you that I can't help you like you want me to," the eldest told them.
"What?" they shouted in unison.
"Saichourou," Goku pleaded, "Please. We need your Dragonballs to separate our friends from Buu."
"That's not possible. Buu's too strong. You may use the Dragonballs, but I would do it this way. You can collect them here, this will take about a day. Then you'll go back to earth with the warriors from Kaiousama. You kill Buu and then we will wish back everyone who has been killed during the fight."
"Kakarotto, as hard as it is to admit, but he's right. We have no other choice."
"Okay, Vegeta, Saichourou, I agree. We will do it that way. Where is the first Dragonball?"

Jenny and Pan were now already training for a few weeks to get Pan stronger. In all those nights, Jenny didn't have another vision, much to her disappointment, because she hoped that the man would tell her exactly how he planned on helping them.
But their training made improvements. Jenny could already feel that she was very close to the next level. 'Just a few more days and I will make it.' Jenny thought as she and Pan were sparring.
"Hey Jenny, can we take a break. I'm thirsty," Pan said, totally out of breath. She and the other demi-Saiyan have been both at their limit during their training.
"Okay!" Jenny dropped out of ascended SSJ2, as she called it, and sat down, leaning against a wall. She sighed and took something out of her pocket. It was a silver bracelet. She entwined it around her fingers and looked at it. 'Trunks, I wished you could see how we're doing.'
"What do you have there?" Pan asked, as she decided to join Jenny.
"This," Jenny showed her the bracelet, "is the first thing Trunks gave me as proof of his love for me. Not even one week after they found out about me."
"Eternally yours," Pan read out loud the inscription.
"This bracelet is some sort of talisman for me. I have it with me, always. In the last months I really needed it. It remembers me of Trunks and that I will see him again, someday. Do you have something that reminds you of your Trunks?"
Pan shook her head, sadly. "Nothing but the feeling inside my heart. Every time I think of him it gets all warm and I'm somehow not sad. To be honest, this feeling is really good. I think that's the reason that I could stay calm after Buu absorbed him. I'm sure you have this feeling, too, somewhere in your heart."
"Do you mean, you didn't feel the bond between you break?" Jenny asked disbelieving.
"Bond? You mean Trunks and I already formed a bond?" Jenny nodded. "Wow, that's what you meant with we will be stuck with each other for the rest of our life."
"Yeah, but now tell me. How did you notice that Trunks was dead?"
"Buu swallowed him and his ki disappeared, not more. I didn't feel a bond breaking."
Jenny was silent for a moment. She remembered Trunks, and as Pan said, there was a warm feeling in her heart, almost as if Trunks was still there, was still… "Oh my god. Pan do you know what that means?"
"What are you talking about?" Pan asked confused.
"You're right. I've just imagined that our bond broke at the moment as his ki vanished, because I must have thought that this had to be the most logical consequence of him dying. I can feel it in my heart, I can feel him. The only reason for that is that he's still alive," Jenny said excitedly.
"Alive as in not dead?"
"Exactly…"
"Does that mean that there's still hope that we could save them? All of them who were absorbed by Buu? Even dad and Goten?"
Jenny nodded sadly. "Yeah, all of them. But unfortunately not Goku and Vegeta. They were really killed by Buu."
"You're right, but I think that they wanted us to do everything possible to save the others," Pan said confidently.
