The last time in "The Lost Warrior - The Sequel":
"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.

Chapter 11: "Visions"
Jenny was right with her suggestion about SSJ3. She reached that level just a few days after she thought about that, and she was happy about that, even though she could just remain in that stage for a few minutes at the beginning, because it was simply to exhausting. But after two weeks she managed to control it really well. Now, the two demi-Saiyajins spent their time on pushing Pan forward, so that she would reach that new level as well, despite her lack of Saiyan blood. But they were positive about it, because the raven-haired girl was getting stronger day by day, week by week and month by month.
Jenny used the same training methods Vegeta had used on her while she was preparing for the fight at her Graduation Day. She was always at her maximum and sparred with Pan almost non-stop. Pan didn't know anymore how often she thanked Dende in that time that he gave them so many senzu beans with on their way here.
Even though Jenny was aware of Pan's improvements, Pan wasn't. After each day of training, after gotten beaten by Jenny, she felt a bit angrier about her inability of becoming good enough to defeat Buu. One year was now almost up, and Pan knew that she must go to the new level fast, to have more time to train other things like the Fusion Dance in their last year in that room.
One day at training, Jenny noticed that something was nagging Pan, because the girl wasn't concentrated enough for them to spar properly, so Jenny decided something. "Hey Pan! Let's stop with the sparring for today."
"What? Why? Jenny, we just have one year left, we can't stop," Pan complained, not understanding the woman in front of her.
Jenny shook her head. "I didn't speak of stopping training. I just want to do something else. I want you to attack me with all your strength and I will just defend myself, that means blocking and dodging. And after a while we'll do it the other way around."
"Okay," both powered up to their maximums and got into their stances, "ready?"
Right after Pan received a nod from her opponent, she attacked. At first she attacked with different combinations of punches and kicks. But then she combined those attacks with several ki-blasts. All the time Jenny managed to either block or dodge the attacks, but the more often Jenny was able to do it, she noticed that Pan was getting angrier by any minute and that her attacks were getting stronger, really stronger, so that it was sometimes really hard for Jenny to not let an attack through her guard. 'Wow, I've noticed that she's gotten stronger in the last month, but I'm SSJ3 and I hardly can avoid her attacks.' Jenny smirked. 'I think she'll do it today, if I help a bit.' At that small moment of thoughtlessness her guard was weakened and Pan landed a hard punch at her jaw, letting Jenny stumble a few steps backward.
She wiped the blood from her mouth and scowled at Pan, trying to hide the fact that she was really worn out by Pan's attacks. "What? Is that all you've got? That's really pathetic. I'm sure Goku and Vegeta would be ashamed of you." Jenny noticed that Pan's ki was short before skyrocking. She smirked. "They would say that you're a weak excuse for the whole Saiyan race and… that you're not worth of mating with the prince of Saiyans." 'Come on, the first time I insulted you, you became SSJ2, why doesn't it work now?' "It was your fault that he was absorbed by Buu!"
That last insult finished Pan off. She rushed forward and while she was lunging at Jenny, her hair grew longer down to her knees and her body became more muscular. Jenny tried her best to block the storm of attacks, but it was nearly impossible to fight against an enraged Saiyan, especially when he's at level 3. 'Come on Panny, show me what you can do.'
Suddenly Pan stopped and placed her hands at the side of her body. "No one dares to insult me, no one. Ka Me Ha Me - HA!"
'Holy shit!' Jenny barely managed to build up a small ki-shield before the wave engulfed her, but the Kamehameha was too strong and destroyed the shield. That caused Jenny to take the attack head on, but she had time enough to prepare for that and crossed her arms in front of her head.
After the blast vanished, Jenny lowered her arms and saw a heavy panting Pan standing a few feet away from her. The last attack was incredible strong and Jenny's body was littered with burns and bruises and her shattered clothes were drenched with blood. "You did it Panny, you finally did it," Jenny managed to say right before she collapsed.

"Hey Vegeta! I've found another one!" Goku told him cheerfully through his scouter. A few Nameks were still in possession of scouters after Freeza's reign over their planet, so the eldest gave Goku and Vegeta each on so that they could communicate during their search for the Dragonballs.
Vegeta growled. "Fine Kakarotto, but you don't need to tell me about every Dragonball you find. Now go and bring this one to Saichourou, so that he can tell you where the next one is. There are still three somewhere on this planet."
"Okaaay Vegeta! I'll tell you when I've found another one!" Goku said smiling and could just hear another growl of his fellow Saiyan before the connection was closed. Lightly chuckling, Goku grabbed the Dragonball and teleported himself and the sphere to Saichourou.

"Shana, are you sure that mommy and Pan will be okay when they come out of this room?" Faith asked the woman in a worried tone. Shana had just brought the kids to bed and was about to leave the room as Faith posed this question.
"Yes, they will be okay. But now go to sleep. Good night," Shana simply said. She didn't know if she was right. She didn't know what affection this room would have on them. Well, Goten had told her that he was in this room with Trunks for a week during their fight against Buu. But they were still kids at that time and they thought it was fun to train in there. Goten…. Goten and Trunks. The children reacted surprisingly calm to the death of their fathers and for Faith and Michael to the sudden change of their mother. Shana stood in the door, deep in thought. The children shouldn't be here in that world called hell. No child should experience that. They should be at home and having a normal childhood like any other child. But the day Goten told Shana about himself, she knew that this wasn't quite possible. They would always be different and they would be more mature after they got home, if they get home. Shana shook her head. 'Stop thinking about that. Of course we will get home. Jenny and Pan will bring us back.'
"Good night." came the answer from the small girl. She snuggled into the sheets and fell asleep at once. The days were simply too exhausting.

"Huh? Where am I?" Faith asked herself. She was floating somewhere in the middle of nowhere. She couldn't see anything. Everything was white around her, everything. "Hello? Is someone there?" she called out. As no one answered she decided it would be the best to look if there's any sign of life. So, she just took off into a direction. She didn't know why she took this way. She simply did.
She flew for what seemed like hours for her and suddenly everything got dark around her, except of the faint light, which was obviously coming from a platform a few hundred meters in front of her. Powering up, she was there within seconds and landed. The light came from the other side of the platform and so she walked there. The nearer she came, the more she could see the lines of a body in the light. Faith could make out that it was definitely a female body. The long wavy hair was tied back into a ponytail, which was going down to the woman's waist. But she wasn't the only one there. There was also another person, a large man. But the most surprising fact was that the two persons had tails, or something like that. Because of the dark, Faith couldn't quite see it.
As her eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness, she could also see the source of the light. The man was holding something between his palms. It looked a lot like a ki-ball, but Faith couldn't tell exactly. She walked nearer and thought to recognize the two people. "Mommy? Grandpa?" But the two didn't respond.
Faith noticed that the ki from the woman was skyrocking and the next thing, Faith could see, was that the long hair of the woman became even longer and spikier, so that the ribbon burst and let the now golden hair falling free down her back. After that the ball in the man's hand disappeared. But not even a minute later, the woman formed a ball in her own hands, which looked exactly like the other one. The man, who looked like her grandfather, motioned something with his hands, but Faith couldn't see what, but at the next moment, the ki-ball floated high in the air. The woman looked at it, and her body began to grow, bigger and bigger. It was losing its human forms. As the transformation stopped, Faith could see that there was golden fur all over that body and that the woman now looked like a giant monkey, which let out a loud growl.
'Okay, this is just a dream and I want to wake up. NOW!' she thought as she felt tears of fear running down her cheeks. She wanted to run away, but was unable to move. She could just stare at the monster in front of her. Inwardly she noticed the steady rising ki from this thing. Her eyes grew wide. 'This is impossible. This ki is incredible. It's as big as Buu's!'
Just at that moment, the man and the monkey spotted her. The monster let out a growl and walked towards the small girl, who let out a cry at the sight. She took a step backward, but stumbled over her own feet. Noticing that there was no way out, she quickly transformed into Super Saiyan, but she still couldn't stop the tears. She was afraid, truly afraid of dying.
The monster was standing directly in front of her and as it saw her crying, it let out another growl before the body was shrinking and became human again, except of the tail of course.
At the last growl Faith had closed her eyes, hoping it would end soon, but as nothing came she opened her eyes again. In front of her was now standing a woman with long, thick and spiky black hair. She was just wearing black boots, a black top and pants. The rest of her body was covered with red fur. The same color the tail now had. Around her eyes were also red lines, letting her look scary, but in her eyes Faith noticed something else: Love. "Mommy?"
"Faith."
~*~
"Faith! Hey Faith! Wake up!" Michael shouted as he shook his sister. "Faith!"
At that moment her eyes sprung open. With a bewildered look on her face she sat up, looking around as if trying to find out where she was. 'Ah yes, the Lookout…'
"Faith!" her brother looked at her worried. "Are you okay? You cried in your sleep."
"I… cried?" As Michael nodded, the memories of the dream were flooding her mind. 'That was really just dream. But it seemed so real…'
"Are you okay?"
Faith nodded. "Yes, it was just a nightmare. Let's go to sleep again. The next days will be hard."
"Okay," Michael said unwillingly and went back into his own bed.
'Mom…' was the last thing Faith thought before she drifted into a dreamless slumber.

"I hoped you would come back tonight," Jenny said. She was again sitting and meditating on the platform in front of the house in the Room of Spirit and Time as she felt the ki of 'the friend' next to her.
"You don't seem to be surprised."
"Should I?" she asked, raising an eyebrow even though her eyes were still closed.
Again the person chuckled lightly. "You're truly one of us."
"Us?"
"Us. The Saiyajins."
Jenny smirked. "So, you're a Saiyajin. By the way, how did you know about my visions?"
"You've inherited this power from me. I too had visions while I was still alive."
"I've what? How long are you dead? Who are you?" Jenny opened her eyes. She was too curious about the man who claimed to have left her the power of having visions. And she was quite surprised by what she saw. The man looked exactly like Goku, just that this man had a scar on his left cheek and that he wasn't wearing an orange gi.
"I'm dead for about 60 years. Your father was just born and sent to earth then," the man replied.
"You're Bardock," Jenny stated. "Goku's father. I guess that makes you my grandfather."
"That's right. Who told you about me?"
"Vegeta did. You were a scientist on Vegetasei, he told me. And you also had visions?"
"Yes, I had visions of Frieza attacking Vegetasei and of Kakarotto becoming a Super Saiyajin and killing Frieza. And my guess is that you must've inherited them from me."
"How can you talk with me?" Jenny wanted to know.
"To be honest, I don't know exactly how it works. I think it has something to do with us both being seers. But now let's stop talking about that. I must say I'm impressed. You and the girl have really improved in the last months. I've never awaited you achieving such a high level of Super Saiyajin in such a short time."
"Thank you for the compliment. But now tell me. What did that first vision months ago mean?"
"The first vision meant that I want to show you how to do that. How to turn into an Oozaru."
"Hello? As far as I know I need a tail to transform," Jenny told him.
"That's easy. How often do you think someone cut off my tail in a fight? With enough concentration it will grow back, if you really want it to." Jenny wanted to say something, but Bardock silenced her through raising his hand. "I know, here in this room isn't a full moon. But I can show you how to make a fake moon."
"Well? What are you waiting for? Show me," Jenny said smirking.
