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

Chapter 12: "The last year"
"Jenny, why do you always have to do that? Why do you always have to pass out when I reach a new level? Why?" Pan asked no one in particular, while she was preparing dinner for herself. She was angry, and at the same time worried about Jenny. After Pan achieved SSJ3, she had knocked Jenny out, and the woman was still unconscious. And that was ten days ago. Even after Pan gave her a senzu she didn't wake up and in the last days nothing has changed, well except of the fact that Jenny's tail grew back on the third day out of unknown reasons. You could say that she was more than a bit surprised as she first saw the tail moving lazily under the sheet. But a thing that was stranger was that Jenny never fully dropped out of Saiyan mode, because her hair was still black, as were her eyes. Normally when she would pass out, everything would change back into normal. "Come on Jenny! We still have a lot of training to do!" she tried to wake her up, but little did Pan know, that even though Jenny was unconscious, she was still training.
~*~
"You're really impressing me, Jenny. You've got a lot of potential. I don't remember how long it took me to concentrate enough to let my tail grow back or to be able to create a fake moon."
"Thank you Bardock. This means much to me," Jenny said smiling.
"I think it is now time for you to go back. I've shown you everything I know about Oozaru and I'm sure you will learn fast to control it. But the girl should watch over you while you're transforming. She is the only one to stop you then, when you're not able to control it. By the way, the girl is another reason for you to go back. She's probably worried sick about you."
"Mmh, I don't think that she's just worried. I'm sure that as soon as I wake up she's angry enough to sent me again into the dreamland." Jenny chuckled.
Bardock shook his head. "I will never understand you women."
They stared at each other for a moment in silence until Jenny prepared to go. "So then I think it's about time. It was nice to meet you… grandpa."
Much to Jenny's surprise, Bardock kneeled down in front of her. "It was a pleasure to meet you. The time I spent here with you I really can see why the young prince chose you as his mate. You're really worthy of being the future-queen."
Jenny blushed. "Bardock, you're embarrassing me."
"But it's the truth. Vegeta must be proud of you, as well as Kakarotto."
At this comment, Jenny blushed even more. "Bardock."
"I'm sorry… But I think you should really go now. Pan's waiting for you."
"Okay, then… will I see you again?"
"No, I don't think so… But remember what I tell you now: You will defeat Buu, no matter what happens."
"Thank you Bardock…"
"Wait, that wasn't everything. Remember, FAITH will play an important role in the Saiyajin's future. FAITH is powerful, even more powerful than you could ever imagine. Take care that FAITH will stay on the side of light," Bardock told her seriously.
"O-okay." Jenny was puzzled and so was 'okay' the only thing she could say. She didn't understand that and she didn't get why he pronounced the word faith. Of course will she always have faith, also in the future. And she was on the side of light. That was totally out of question.
"Well, Goodbye Jenny."
"Goodbye Bardock." After she said that, he disappeared. "Goodbye grandpa," Jenny added in a whisper and not even a second later she vanished as well.
~*~
As Jenny woke up a few seconds later she could hear the sound of training on the outside and after checking her ki level, she was pleased. 'I see she has trained hard in the last two weeks of my 'absence'.' She got up and smiled. With this small extra training the chances to defeat Buu are getting better than they thought. The first thing she had to do now was to teach Pan the things Bardock taught her, but that shouldn't be too difficult.
After stretching every muscle in her body she went outside and saw Pan training on herself. The girl was so engaged in her exercise that she didn't notice that Jenny was watching her. 'Okay, time to tell her that I'm back.' Lightly chuckling Jenny phased out and right before she appeared in front of Pan she powered up to SSJ3 and punched her in the stomach, letting the girl doubling over.
Pan got up immediately and got into a fighting stance, but powered down when she saw who hit her. "Jenny!" she said smiling, but then put an angry face on. "What were you thinking? Passing out for two weeks, huh? You probably think it's funny to relax a bit while I train hard."
"Hey Pan, nice to see you too," Jenny said sarcastically and powered down to her normal Saiyan form. "But for your information: I didn't relax. I have trained hard in those two weeks."
"Why do I have the feeling that I don't believe you?" the girl asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Wait a minute and I show you. I wanted to try it anyway. But I think it is better for you to power up as high as you can, because I don't know what damage I could cause."
"What? I don't understand you."
"Wait and see, but power up please." Pan did as she was told and watched as Jenny formed an energy ball in her hand and letting it float up into the air.
At the very moment as Jenny looked at the fake moon, she immediately felt the changes in her body. It was indescribable. She had never felt something like that before. The way her body began to grow and how the animal appeared and tried to take over the body. The first time as she felt something a bit similar to that was, as she and Trunks 'mated', as Vegeta would put it. The primal instincts, deep buried inside her body, tried to control her. Bardock was right. It was hard not to give in to those instincts, and Jenny understood now how just several Saiyajin were able to control the Oozaru-form. It took a lot of self-control to not follow the pure instincts, but after a few minutes of struggling and battling and the thought of her friends and Buu, she won the inner war and let out a loud growl.
Pan stared in awe at the scene in front of her. Within seconds her friend had changed into a giant monkey. 'Oozaru.' This thought hit Pan. 'That must be the reason that her tail grew back. But how did she learn that?' The whole time Pan dared not to move, but she was ready to defend herself if necessary. She watched the inner struggle of Jenny and hoped that everything would turn out to be okay. The few minutes seemed like hours to her and she nearly got a heart attack, as Jenny let out the growl.
The next thing Jenny did after watching herself for a while was destroying the fake moon, so that she would transform back. Within seconds her body shrunk back to normal height. She tried to stand straight, but her wobbling legs wouldn't allow that and let her collapse to the ground. Alarmed Pan ran up to her and helped her back on her feet. "Jenny? Are you okay?"
"Don't worry Panny, I won't pass out again. It was just really exhausting and I think I need something to eat." At that moment Jenny looked down at her body and noticed that her clothes were totally torn and that she was now totally nude. "But I think that I first need some new clothes. Good I still have the capsule with the armor in my watch," she said laughing and Pan joined her.
"But Jenny, how did you know how to do that? Who…"
"I'll tell you during lunch, okay? But now, would you be so nice and help me inside. I have the feeling that my legs don't want to carry me to the kitchen."
~*~
"Do you think she understood your warning, father?" a male figure with long black and spiky hair asked.
"I don't know Radditz, but I hope she did. I would've told her everything, but THEY didn't allow it. I was just allowed to give her a few hints," Bardock answered.
"What if she doesn't? And when IT happens. Will she be able to separate her duty from her heart?"
"I'm not sure… But I hope, for the world," Bardock told his eldest thoughtful. 'But maybe there will be a wonder.'
~*~
"So, Saichourou. This is the last one," Goku said as he placed the seven star Dragonball in front of the Namek eldest.
"Good Goku. Then I guess you can go back to Kaiousama's planet. We will wait here for his instructions."
"Okay… Saichourou, goodbye and thank you," Goku told him sincerely. "Vegeta, are you coming?"
"Sure Kakarotto… Can't wait to kick Buu's ass," Vegeta said smirking in his standard stance. He then walked over to Goku and placed a hand on his shoulder. Goku waved one last time at the Nameks and then he and Vegeta disappeared.
"Goodbye Goku, Vegeta. I hope your plan will work…" Saichourou said after they left.
~*~
Not even a second later, the two Saiyajins reappeared on Kaiousama's planet, where their Mirai-selves are already waiting for them. "Goku! Vegeta! There you are! And? Is everything okay?" Kaiousama asked.
"Yep! We've collected all seven Dragonballs and we're now ready to go back to earth," Goku told them cheerfully.
"Took you long enough," Mirai Vegeta mumbled and earned a light snicker from the other Vegeta.
"That's good," they heard a scratchy voice saying. Uranai Baba had just appeared next to them, ready to take the dead warriors to earth. "I even managed after a lot of arguing that you could go to earth for a week, so that you have enough time to kill Buu. After all, it's for the fate of the universe if you defeat this monster or not. But I must remember you, when you die when you're already dead, you'll cease to exist. Are you ready for that?" She saw everyone nodding and continued sighing. "Okay, who will come with me?"
"That would be me, Vegeta and Gohan I guess. The others can't do much," Mirai Goku told her.
"Okay, then, let's go…"
"Uhm, Baba?" Goku asked. "Can you bring us directly to the Lookout. As far as I know the kids are hidden in the bottom of it, and it is ki-shielded. So I can't go there with the instant transmission."
"That won't be a problem. I can bring you anywhere you want."
~*~
It was the last day in The Room of Spirit and Time and Jenny and Pan got ready to leave the room to fight Buu. Both were wearing the dark blue Saiyajin armor, since Pan's clothes were torn apart, too, as she first transformed into the Oozaru. Both hairs were down to their waists and it was tied back into ponytails. They were ready and confident that they would be able to kill Buu after their intensive training in this room.
They couldn't believe how fast the last year had passed by, but they also had much to train. After Jenny told Pan everything about her "dream training", it was Pan's turn to let the tail grow back, and she succeeded on the fifth day with it and on the eighth day she was able to make a fake moon, as well as to control her Oozaru form. The next thing they were training was the Oozaru in different states of Super Saiyajin. Much to their surprise the color of the fur did change the color from brown to gold when they were in SSJ3 and Oozaru.
About a half year later, they have perfected that and went over to their next exercise: The Fusion Dance. Since both have just seen it two or three times and not really have paid attention to it, it was more difficult to perform that dance than expected. But after a month they also managed that and "Jen" was born. Jenny and Pan have both never expected that a Fusion really could be that powerful, especially when it was in SSJ3. Since both of them were already able to go to that stage before they could fuse, they could stay in that form the whole 30 minutes, not like Gotenks when he fought Buu.
The last thing they did was to turn "Jen" into an Oozaru in the last month of their training. The first days everything went fine. Jen was strong and she or they respectively were really confident to be finally strong enough to save their friends, but they tried again to push themselves further. Two weeks before they should leave, they transformed into "golden Oozaru Jen" as they called it and remembered how it felt when slowly each and every ki from their friends and family vanished. That pushed her over the edge. She felt a new power running through her body and much to her surprise it began to shrink again. Thinking that it didn't work, she got even angrier and her body shrunk faster back to her normal height, but her body had changed. Her hair has changed the color from black to red and she noticed also red fur all over her body. She was also wearing just her black pants, boots and a short black top under her vest. This form, they called it SSJ4, was extremely powerful, but it had one disadvantage: Jen could only stay in that form for 5 minutes and then Jen would be separated into Jenny and Pan again.
~*~
"So, here we are," Baba told the group of fighters as they arrived on the Lookout.
"Fine. And where are the others now?" Mirai Vegeta asked impatiently.
"At the bottom of the Lookout. They were there the last time I saw them through that sphere of Kaioushin," Goku told him.
"Okay, what are we waiting for! Let's go to them!" Mirai Goku said.
~*~
"Will? Chris? Faith? Do you feel that?" Michael asked them, just as they were about to go to the door to the ROSAT to welcome Pan and Jenny.
"What? What should they feel?" Shana wanted to know. "Are they already coming out?"
"No mom, but outside, there are the kis of Goku and Vegeta… And three others which are somehow familiar," Chris told his mom.
"Goku?" ChiChi asked. "And Vegeta? Does that mean they were not killed by Buu?"
"Let's go and find out!" Shana said excited. They all looked at each other and then went the long way back, which led to the surface of the Lookout.
~*~
"Kakarotto, are you sure you know the way?" Vegeta wanted to know as they walked down a corridor.
"Yes, I think. As far as I remember we must pass the ROSAT and then a few stairs down and then we must be almost there," Goku told him, scratching his head.
"Mmh, guys… There are four strong kis coming directly approaching us," Mirai Gohan said.
"Those are the kids! Hurry up and we'll meet them in the middle!" Goku said cheerfully.
And he was right. Not even a minute later they met, directly in front of the ROSAT.
"Oh my god! There are two Gokus! And my Gohan!" ChiChi said, tears running down her cheeks. Mirai Goku and Mirai Gohan stepped forward and hugged her tightly, not wanting to let her go again. The kids were immediately hugging their grandfathers and the others were just standing there, also near their tears.
"You're really not dead?" Shana asked the two warriors from her timeline finally.
"No, Kakarotto teleported us away before the blast could hit us. And then we met them and they decided to help us. We've also collected the Namek Dragonballs to resurrect everyone after we defeated Buu," Vegeta told her.
"Yes, and I think that you'll be able to do it. Also because mom and Pan will come out of this room every minute," Faith told them.
"What? Jenny and Pan were not absorbed by Buu? How long have they been in there?" Goku wanted to know.
"Two days," Shana answered.
~*~
Jenny laid her hand on the handle, took a deep breath and was just about to open the door, as she removed her hand again. "Jenny? What's up?" Pan asked worried.
"I-I can't do that. I can't go out there… I have to say sorry, but I don't know how… I don't know if they will forgive me my behavior…"
"Don't worry Jenny, they will forgive you. You were in a state of shock. That's understandable. I'm sure they will understand that. And besides, we have to go out there, or don't you want to show them Super Saiyajin Jen 4?" The last part Pan asked with a light chuckle.
Jenny sighed and then grinned the trademark Son grin. "Of course do I want to do that. And I also have to greet them from Bardock. I promised it to him."
"Okay, then let's go," Pan said and opened the door.
~*~
In front of the door, Shana and the other were explaining the happenings after the disappearance of Goku and Vegeta to the five warriors from past and future. At the exact moment as she was finished, they saw the handle from the door moving. Tensed they saw the door slowly open. A glaring light came out of the room, so that the group could just see two shadows walking towards them, but they could already feel how powerful the two female warriors have become.
************************************************************************************
Finally! Jenny and Pan left the Room of Spirit and Time!
They've just one day left until they will meet Buu again.
Will they really be strong enough?
