"I couldn't tell him no"
by Channonix

Part X








Gokou smiled at the image - Vejita and his granddaughter hugging each other. They were looking really kawaii, clinging to each other like that. Vejita had really changed to be doing this. Him, who ten years ago hadn't been capable of showing affection towards his own son, was now doing so towards the spawn of his greatest rival, as he would have called her back then. Not wanting to disturb them and confuse Vejita, he teleported back upstairs and began coming downstairs soundly, making sure they would hear him this time. They, especially Vejita, didn't have to know that he had seen them.

Vejita pulled away from Chibi, hearing Kakkarotsu coming downstairs and making the noise worth at least a herd of elephants. He stood up, smiling down at her for the last time and went to the fridge. He bet it wouldn't be that hard to make Kakkarotsu believe he was just grabbing a snack.

" You're already hungry as well ?" Asked Gokou, coming in the kitchen seeing Vejita looking for something in the fridge.

" Yeah..."

" You too, Pan-chan ?"

" No, grandpa. Only mum told me to wait here for you. She said you would take care of me. I wanna spar, grandpa ! You should see how much I've learned in the last three years !"

" Ok. But first I have to eat something." he said, rubbing his loudly growling stomach. "You've found something edible in there, Vejita ?" He asked, looking inside the fridge over Vejita's shoulder.

" Yes." Answered Vejita, taking out the tray full of sandwiches.

" Chi-Chi made us sandwiches ! She's so nice sometimes."

Putting the tray on the table, Vejita felt that he was really getting hungry at the sight and smell of the delicious food.

" There's a lot of it. We'll share." Said Gokou, sitting down and taking a sandwich, soon, Vejita joined and in no time there was nothing left besides few crumbs.

" Uhm... Now that I'm full we can spar." Said Gokou to Pan.

" That's good." She nodded. " I was missing the sparring with you, grandpa ! Sooooo much... When you were leaving when I was four you said you would visit me, but then you never did !"

" I... I'm sorry..." he said sheepishly. She was right. Since he had left to train Ubuu three years ago, he had never visited his family, not even once. He had been so busy with training and sparring with his new student that he never found the time to. And training Ubuu wasn't even as much of a pleasure for him as he had thought it would be. Ubuu was nowhere near as strong as Evil Buu, with a power level close to that of a Super Saiya-jin, and it seemed to be his limit. It made him the strongest pure-blooded human, but still he was no challenge for Gokou. Slowly, as the days had been passing he had gotten frustrated, it had seemed for him sometimes that there was no one in the whole Universe who could give him a good fight. He wondered now how he could have forgotten about his regular greatest rival... But soon, Vejita had reminded him himself turning Super Saiya-jin 3. Their fight a week ago hadn't been a pleasant one, but just then he had realized that in the meanwhile Vejita had become his equal, and now, after he had been so close to death, his power level should have skyrocketed... The problem was that Vejita didn't want to spar. Gokou just wished he would change his mind soon.

" Let's go, grandpa !" Said Pan, getting his attention by pulling the leg of his pants.

" You'll go with us, Vejita ?" Asked Gokou.

" Of course I'll go. But only to watch." Said Vejita, smirking. Of course he was going to go with them, he wanted to see the look on Gokou's face when his little granddaughter turned Super Saiya-jin. And besides, he wanted to get to know her limits himself.

They went outside and headed to the usual sparring grounds in the yard. Vejita jumped on a nearby tree and sat on the branch from which he could see the whole yard closely. Kakkarotsu and Chibi took their positions opposite each other, and after a short talk he couldn't heard from where he was, they began. Chibi launched forward at Kakkarotsu and threw several punches at him. He dodged all blows. It was obvious he was holding back while punching. He didn't want to hurt her. She dodged as well and launched backward, creating some distance between them. Vejita smirked. He wasn't in the mood to watch more of their childish games they called sparring. It was a good moment for her to show Kakkarotsu how strong she was exactly. He told her mentally to power up. She looked at him briefly after avoiding her grandfather's kick. He nodded. She launched backward once again and stopped several yards away from Kakkarotsu, floating in mid-air. He looked at her curiously, stopping as well. She clenched her fists really hard and began raising her ki. Vejita smirked more. Looking at her attitude while powering up, he could easily guess she had picked up his own from his memories. He wasn't sure why, but it was making him proud.

Gokou blinked a few times, sensing Pan's power raising high above what he had thought was her limit. What was going on ? When had she managed to get that power ? He gasped, seeing her turning Super Saiya-jin and powering up further.

Vejita jumped down from his branch and landed a few yards away from Gokou. Moron had a really funny facial expression, eyes and mouth wide open. He smirked, before turning to look at Chibi. He wondered if she was really capable of reaching his limit, if she would turn Super Saiya-jin 3 eventually, and how this was going to affect him. As for now his ki had dropped slightly, but the change wasn't dramatic at all.

Pan clenched her fists harder, powering up still. Vejita-san had told her to power up as long as she was capable of it, so she did. It felt so weird to feel such a great power, enveloping her, changing her body, yellow glow of it surrounding her. She gasped, turning Super Saiya-jin 2. It was hard to breathe for a moment, but then everything was back to normal. She wondered what level she would finally reach. The amount of power still left was so overwhelming...

Gokou's eyes narrowed. What was going on ? No amount of training could have made Pan reach the level of Super Saiya-jin 2 in those three years. There had to be something else... Her ki signature was proving it, it... it wasn't her ki. Or rather, it was, but only in half like hers, like if it had been mixed with another ki. A ki he knew well, way too well to be mistaken now, Vejita's ki. He looked at Vejita standing nearby. He was watching her as well, his arms crossed on his chest, a smirk on his face. Everything about him was normal, his ki only slightly lower than he tended to keep it when not fighting.

" Pan ! Stop !" Gokou shouted to her. He needed to know what was going on and how the two of them had managed to do this, merge their ki. He had to ask Vejita.

Hearing her grandpa, Pan stopped powering up floating in midair as a Super Saiya-jin 2, surrounded by yellow glow and occasional lightnings. Her hair, almost white, standing up in a way defying gravity, her eyes intense turquoise.

" Power down !"

She looked questioningly at Vejita. He nodded so she powered down to her normal state, her ki coming back to normal.

" Pan. Go home and wait there for us, you may watch tv, or something." Said Gokou, smiling down at her. She nodded, and without further questioning, went home.

As she disappeared inside and closed the door behind her, Gokou's cheerful smile disappeared once again. He turned to Vejita, who was sitting on a rock and looking at him with an unreadable expression.

" What was that ?"

" How am I supposed to know ? It seems your granddaughter has greater fighting talent than you. You're jealous ?"

" It was your ki."

" Was it ?"

" How did you do that ?"

" None of your business." Said Vejita, standing up.

" Vejita, wait ! It is my business, she's my granddaughter. Tell me. This is some technique, like fusion ?" Asked Gokou. " Vejita, wait !" He shouted, but the other warrior didn't stop going away further and then blasting into the sky. " Vejita !" He blasted himself and followed him closely. " Tell me, how ?"

" It just happened." Lied Vejita. He would let baka wonder, but he wasn't going to tell him the whole truth.

" You don't know how ?"

" No."

" But it was your ki she was using to transform ?"

" Yes."

" Then... How ? You didn't have such a potential before."

" What ?" Asked Vejita, stopping abruptly in mid-air.

" I mean... Besides the power she was using, there was too much left. You weren't that strong before, and you hadn't time to get so."

" You can feel such things ?"

" Yes. Sometimes. When the potential left is great enough. Hers... Yours was."

His potential... He wasn't using his ki too much since his mating with Chibi began. Could it be that what they had shared had helped him to get lost of these barriers that had been separating him from his power since forever ? Did he have free access to all the power buried inside him now ? If yes, then how strong was he exactly ? He had promised himself he wouldn't fight anymore, because he didn't want to blame himself in front of Kakkarotsu once again, but now he should be way stronger than the moron, so the reason for him not to fight was no longer a real reason.

" Kakkarotsu, let's spar."

" Uhm... What ? You said you won't fight anymore."

" I changed my mind. Let's go." Said Vejita, before blasting forward.

Gokou scratched the back of his head trying hard to figure out what was going on around him, with Vejita, with Pan and with their power. But he couldn't. So he dismissed the thought and followed Vejita trying to catch up to him. At least the other Saiya-jin decided to spar with him, and now, when he seemed way stronger than ever before, this was a real challenge. Life was going to have its sense back. Gokou smiled, the contented half-smile he always wore before the battle with a stronger opponent. And as for that mysterious connection between Vejita and his little granddaughter, he was going to figure it out as well, sooner or later.

In next chapter, I'll jump ten years ahead. You may still tell me in reviews if Veggie should call Pan Chibi then or not. As for now, the option that he should is winning, but everything may still change : )

If you think Gokou's acting weird here you should watch last episode of DBZ, it explains it.
